Chapter 356 Meeting friends

When Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei learned that Yang Yuyao's friend who practiced Imperial Food Dao had arrived in the Xia Capital, they were even more excited than Yang Yuyao. It's just that they have to wait until tomorrow to taste the delicacies made by this monk. After all, they have just arrived in Xiadu after traveling thousands of miles, so they can't just start making food right away without even taking a break. It's just that they couldn't understand why their eldest brother didn't arrange for Gudfu to live in the general's mansion, but instead opened a room for him in Wanke Lai, the Xianjia Inn that belongs to the family property.

But the elders in the family all understand Yang Yuyao's intention in making such an arrangement. Although the living conditions of arranging guests to guest rooms in the mansion are definitely better, they are not so free. When staying at an inn, you can do whatever you want except for the agreed time to meet. You can rest or sleep in the inn, or you can choose to wander around the outer city of the summer capital.

However, the gate of the General's Mansion is located in the inner city, not far from the Xia Palace, and is strictly controlled. This makes it very troublesome for guests in the mansion to leave the mansion. And as a guest, if you have quality, you will be embarrassed to wander around the house without the owner's permission. It can be said that most of the time, the living scope is limited to the courtyard of the guest room. Li Fengzhi and others rarely leave the courtyard on their own initiative.

Yang Yuyao himself is a homebody who doesn't like to go out, but he knows that not everyone can bear to be confined to a small environment for a long time. Before Yang Yuyao agreed with Tao Yulian to send someone to pick up Li Fengzhi and the others to live in the mansion, he also made it clear to them that it would be troublesome to live here and go out to visit other places. They thought it didn't matter and were completely acceptable, so Yang Yuyao agreed to take them over.

Of course, high-level monks can generally endure loneliness and can stay in a small environment for a long time without leaving. As for Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang, both of them were able to accept such restrictions for their own reasons. Li Fengzhi was trapped in Tongling Town for six years, and You Shuangjiang, as the eldest lady, was mostly trapped in the inner house of the family. The inner residence of You Shuangjiang's family is not as big as the general's residence, and she can't go to every place in the inner residence at will. Otherwise she wouldn't always be on the roof when she saw her aunt's cat.

As for Goodford, there is no doubt that his current level is not high, and he is not used to staying in a small environment for a long time. Therefore, he would definitely feel more comfortable staying in an inn than in a general's mansion.

"..."

"Xiao Yao, you don't seem to be happy to ride in the carriage with your mother?" Tao Yulian asked with a smile. "Are you afraid that your mother will disturb you and Qianqing?"

"I'm not unhappy, I just didn't expect my mother to go out too." Yang Yuyao quickly replied. His personality seems to make it difficult for him to get along with his parents very naturally. Even though it had been so many days, he still felt nervous from time to time when getting along with Tao Yulian and the others, and when he was nervous, his whole body would become stiff.

Although the genius would ask Gudefu to show him the taste of snail noodles, Gudefu had already checked into the inn and told Yang Yuyao that he had rested, so Yang Yuyao naturally had to go see him. This was a guest he invited, and he couldn't imagine that the guest would stay there for so long without showing up as the host. That's really rude.

So Yang Yuyao definitely had to go out. The procedures to go in and out freely in the inner city of Xia Capital proved to be quite cumbersome, but after all, he had an imperial grandfather who loved him very much. Once the emperor opens the mouth of Chrysostom, no matter how complicated the procedure is, it will become simple. So now, even without the company of other members of the Yang family, Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing can freely enter and leave the inner city of Xia Capital.

Yang Yuyao originally thought that he was just going to see Goodford and tell him his true identity and name, so there was no need to bother other people from the Yang family to accompany him. Of course, He Qianqing said otherwise. But just when they were about to get on the carriage prepared for them by the government, Tao Yulian came over and wanted to go with them for a while. After entering the carriage, the relatively small space made the three people very close to each other, which made Yang Yuyao feel nervous all of a sudden. He didn't mean to dislike Tao Yulian, but his body reaction was a bit uncontrollable.

"Don't be nervous. Of course Mom knows that you don't mean this, Xiaoyao. Mom is teasing you." Tao Yulian smiled and reassured.

"Are you going to the outer city alone?" He Qianqing asked. The person he meant was that Tao Yulian did not take a servant to follow her, but it was definitely impossible for Tao Yulian to go alone. The secret guards in the mansion would still follow her to protect her secretly. Yang Yuyao was accompanied by secret guards, not to mention Tao Yulian, who was the princess and the mistress of the Yang family.

"Some things are easier to handle with only one person on the surface." Tao Yulian replied vaguely. He Qianqing did not ask further questions. Yang Yuyao was a little curious about what Tao Yulian was going to do, but Tao Yulian didn't know. His master didn't ask, and he didn't ask either.

However, Yang Yuyao noticed the difference between Tao Yulian's current clothing and her usual clothes. Today she wore a men's robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves. She also had a simple hairstyle, but she did not deliberately dress up as a man. In Xia Capital, many young women from powerful families like to dress like this. This beauty style of men's clothing seems to be the current trend in Xia Capital.

"Xiaoyao, does mom look good in this outfit?" Tao Yulian, who noticed Yang Yuyao's gaze, asked with a smile.

"It looks good." Yang Yuyao said honestly. Although Tao Yulian is wearing men's clothing, the popularity of women wearing men's clothing seems to have caused Xiadu's tailors to make some adjustments to the tailoring based on the original men's clothing to make it look better on women. Wearing this kind of men's clothing can give a woman a heroic and handsome look that makes her heart beat faster. It is not surprising that this style of clothing is popular among young women in high positions in the summer capital.

Of course, in terms of age, Tao Yulian is not considered a young man, but one of the biggest benefits of a monk is a greatly extended lifespan. Even if there is no elixir formation, a monk in the foundation period has a lifespan of two hundred years, so aging will It looks much slower than mortals of the same age. Generally speaking, if a monk in his twenties can build the foundation at the age of twenty, then when he forms the elixir again at the age of thirty or forty, he can still maintain the appearance of his prime in his twenties.

Although Tao Yulian is already a mother of three children, she has acquired pills early. As a princess, she has been pampered since she was a child. After marrying Yang Ningxiu, she was loved by her husband, and the rest of the Yang family also took great care of the young wife. After all, even if you put aside the identity of Princess Tao Yulian, this girl can be said to be a girl that the elders of the Yang family have grown up watching, and they will naturally not have any objections.

Therefore, except for the monster attack on Xia Capital that year, it can be said that Tao Yulian had a smooth life. After recovering from a serious illness, she could enjoy various precious tonics to replenish her body that was depleted due to illness. So now she still looks young. There is no sense of inconsistency in wearing the popular men's clothing for women in this summer capital.

The place Tao Yulian wanted to go was further away from the inner city, so Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing got off the carriage first. The summer afternoon is still hot in the summer capital, but the bustling place of the summer capital is still very lively. The bustling crowd seems to never be knocked down by the heat, but there are more people on the street hawking sour plum soup.

Tao Yulian: Yaoer and Qianqing were sitting neatly, and there was no sign of any interaction between lovers.

Yang Ningxiu: Normal people would not flirt with each other in front of their parents, not to mention Yaoer's temperament that is easily shy.

Tao Yulian: But I feel that we guessed wrong before. It seems that it was Qianqing Nian Yaoer.

Yang Ningxiu: It seems so, but it would be better if it were true. Yaoer chooses to love him, so he will not be let down easily.

Tao Yulian: I think so too.

Yang Ningxiu: Be careful when you go there. If you feel something is wrong, evacuate first.

Tao Yulian: Don’t worry, I have my own sense of proportion.

After Tao Yulian finished sending the message, she found that at the end of her message, she accidentally found a small gesture pattern with the tips of her index finger and thumb touching each other and the other three fingers stretched out. She was a little confused and didn't know what this pattern was. came out of nowhere. But she didn't have time to understand it now, and she was almost at her destination.

Following the address given by Yang Yuyao, Gudfu walked to the place specially provided by Wankelai for guests. Like many other inns, Wankelai Inn also had a "mouth" shape. It's just that other inns usually only have a multi-story structure on the main entrance facing the street, and the other three sides often have only single floors. But Wankelai has three floors in the front and five floors in the back, while the left and right sides are both two floors. It's just that the second floor is not a serious floor to be precise, but a long corridor connecting the pavilion in the middle.

Goodford was very interested in such a structure and wanted to go over and have a look, but he was worried that Yang Yuyao would be impatient, so he rushed to the second floor of the back building first. This place is like the independent tea rooms found in a large tea house. Each tea room has a house plate with various fancy names hanging above the door. Goodford found the teahouse named Yutangchun, knocked on the door and pushed it open.

"Xiao Yao, I'm sorry for waiting...!" Goodford said as he opened the door. However, sitting in the tea room was a stunning beauty with an unfamiliar face. Goodford was stunned, apologized hastily, and quickly exited the tea room and closed the door. However, when he stood in the corridor again, Goodford raised his head to confirm the door number again. There is nothing wrong with the house number. It is indeed the Yutangchun that Yang Yuyao told him, and there are no other similar house names here, so there is no possibility of admitting his mistake.

Goodford thought seriously and remembered that Yang Yuyao had told him that his family wanted to try the food he cooked. Then he wondered if the person he just saw was Yang Yuyao's family member. The person he wanted to see might have something to do and temporarily left the tea room.

Goodford, who thought his reasoning was correct, knocked on the door of Yutangchun Tea Room again, opened the door and smiled to face the beauty sitting inside.

"Sorry to bother you again, my name is Gudefu, and I am a monk who practices imperial food. Are you a relative of Gu Yuan?" Gudefu asked, closing the door of the tea room.

The beauty seemed a little surprised, but she still smiled and said leisurely, "Ah Fu, long time no see."

"Huh?" Goodford was stunned. Why did he think this beauty's voice sounded familiar? Then he saw the beauty closing her eyes, covering her mouth with her fist and clearing her throat, and then said the same sentence again in a slightly hoarse voice. Goodford's eyes widened instantly.

"You...your voice! Can it be exactly the same as Xiaoyuan?!" Goodford said in great shock. Then he saw that the man's appearance changed in front of him, turning into a common face that was ordinary but familiar to Goodford.

"Gu Yuan, this is actually the identity I used to disguise myself." The beauty turned back to her stunning appearance again and said. "My real name is Yang Yuyao."

"Yang Yuyao?! So Xiaoyuan, you are actually the Yang Yuyao that the master said... She heard other monks say that she is very, very beautiful?!" Goodford murmured, looking at the shocked appearance in front of him with a complicated expression. The most beautiful young man in the world, and then think about the familiar face he just saw. The gap is so big that no one can see the similarity at all, and even the names and pseudonyms sound completely unrelated.

But taking a closer look, Goodford found that when Yang Yuyao transformed into Gu Yuan, he still had similarities with his original appearance. For example, Gu Yuan's voice is hoarse than Yang Yuyao's real voice. As for his body shape, Gu Yuan looks taller and stronger.

"Well, Xiaoyuan, you really need to change your appearance when walking outside." Goodford quickly accepted and understood Yang Yuyao's motivation for using a fake identity. "Do I need to change my title?"

"No, just keep calling me as usual. Ah Fu, please sit down and drink tea first." Yang Yuyao invited with a smile.

"Xiao Yao, how are you? Is it going well?" He Qianqing asked via voicemail in a shop opened by a businessman from the Duobo Kingdom selling the country's specialty products.

"Well, Ah Fu accepted it quickly." Yang Yuyao happily replied via voice message. The one who was with He Qianqing was his true body, and the one who was drinking tea and chatting with Goodford was Yang Yuyao's incarnation. After all, Yang Yuyao was inevitably a little nervous if he wanted Goodford to admit his true identity. When he was nervous, he was afraid of close contact with others. In order to prevent himself from appearing rude due to his gaffe, Yang Yuyao decided to let his clone face it. Although it was still him, the clone was sent. For Yang Yuyao, it was like a layer of protection, giving him the feeling of playing an AR game, so he would not feel so scared.

"Master, this necklace should be worn by women..." Yang Yuyao said quickly when he saw He Qianqing holding a gorgeous necklace inlaid with various gemstones and placing it on his chest.

"Master thinks it looks good on you, Xiao Yao." He Qianqing said with a smile, but he did not insist on wearing it for Yang Yuyao.

"I think women look better wearing it." Yang Yuyao said seriously. Necklaces in this world are generally made longer, so even if men's necks are generally thicker than women's, they can still be worn if they really want to. But unless he has a special identity or special needs, it would be a bit strange for a man to wear such a femininely designed necklace.

This Doberman store called "Sawadi" sells a large number of jewelry with the country's characteristics. These jewelry are generally gorgeous styles made of a large number of brightly colored gemstones. Compared with the elegant and luxurious feel of Xia Kingdom's jewelry, which is also positioned as gorgeous, the jewelry of Duobo Kingdom looks rich and exaggerated, and has a special kind of enthusiasm from a warm region.

In addition to jewelry, this shop also sells spices and special aromatherapy that are abundant in Dubo Kingdom. In addition, there are some dried fruits, containers made of gold, silver and copper, and unique wood carvings. Yang Yuyao particularly likes one of the elephant wood carvings. This wood carving of an elephant is not a realistic one. It summarizes its shape very abstractly, but perfectly presents the charm of the elephant. He Qianqing noticed that Yang Yuyao was admiring the wood carving, so he called the businessman who came to Duobo Kingdom to ask him to quote. Then when Yang Yuyao decided to buy it, He Qianqing had already paid.

"Master..."

"I think this wood carving would look good on the ancient shelf in the east chamber." He Qianqing said with a smile. "Speaking of which, Xiaoyao, where do you plan to ask Goodford to demonstrate the recipe of snail noodles? Are you also in Wankelai?"

"No, it's in Su Chunlai." Yang Yuyao replied.

"Su Chunlai is also the property of the Yang family?" He Qianqing was a little surprised. They had dined at Su Chunlai Restaurant, and the food tasted really good, but Tao Yulian's introduction at that time did not sound like it meant that Su Chunlai Restaurant was also a property of the Yang family.

"To be precise, it's not, because it is the private property of the third grandmother, Su Shiman, and cannot be included in the Yang family's property." Yang Yuyao explained.

"I see. Did you choose that place because it has the most complete tools and ingredients?" He Qianqing asked, and Yang Yuyao nodded.
