Chapter 437 If you can't make it back for dinner, the brothers won't wait for you
Yuntang agreed, understanding that Third Senior Brother wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take many people out and let these guys who had been training for two months go out and gain some experience.
Otherwise, if you only rely on practicing the basics in the Imperial Guard Camp, how is you different from a little Taoist boy?
Ninth Senior Brother asked us to bring Haoran along so that there would be one more person to protect and lead these people.
The young men paid their respects to the emperor, and after that they all stayed in Qingfeng Palace and refused to leave.
Although among them there were children of royal families, children of noble families, children of aristocratic families, children of officials, and ordinary scholars, they had seen the emperor frequently and were often in his presence recently, so they were no longer restrained and uneasy.
They came here today just to get some free food and drinks from Junior Master.
Yuntang was helpless, but she didn't want them to stay here in an unbecoming manner, making it seem like her third senior brother had no authority.
"Yiran, come here." Yuntang called Lin Haoran, who was talking to Senior Brother Nine, over and gave him six jars of sour duck and a few bowls of pickles.
I also picked up a few restaurant signature dishes I bought in the south and some street food I bought in Hezhou, and told everyone what they were one by one.
"Don't say that Junior Master didn't bring you any local specialties. We were in a hurry and didn't have the chance to shop more. The store couldn't supply so many goods at short notice."
"I have to keep some for gifts." Yun Tang said and glanced at Xiao Ye. It was all because of his good example.
"Got it. Thank you, Junior-Master." Xiao Ye smiled, and then looked at Lin Haoran with envy as he put the food into the Qiankun bag.
As expected, these guys left immediately after they had something to eat. Why do they still have time to have a meal with Junior-Master?
Watching them leave chatting and laughing, even Xiao Beichen couldn't help laughing.
Yuntang still remembered about sending the local specialties, and divided the specialties from Lao Cai's duck restaurant into several portions, and asked his third senior brother to call Eunuch Wang to send them to the harem.
One portion was given to the Empress, one portion to each of the four concubines, and one portion was shared by several princesses. It wasn't that she was stingy, but the food needed her space to stay fresh, and if too much was given, they couldn't be stored for slow consumption.
Most of what Nanjing bought were signature dishes from restaurants or street snacks, which were not presentable as gifts.
Tanzhou's sour duck is famous throughout the East. It is served in a clay pot and dipped in sour soup. You can eat it right after opening the lid, or you can heat it up at noon.
It was a specialty that could be shown off. In addition, there was glutinous rice wine bought in Hezhou. Yuntang also gave a jar each to the Queen and the four concubines.
As for the princesses, they were given a whole straw target of candied haws and had to carry them over.
It was worth it that she ran so far and still thought of bringing them some food.
After she finished distributing them, Xiao Beichen also came over to see how many different kinds of food she brought back. He was a little amused to see that there were even vegetables, but he also made a suggestion.
"Xiao Tang'er, let's eat these signature dishes you bought in the south for lunch. Ask your sixth and seventh brothers to come over and try them together."
"Okay." Yuntang agreed. She had a day off yesterday and had nothing to do today.
But she was not idle either. She packed up a few more copies and asked Mingde to find Lin Haoran to come again.
"Fifth Sister-in-law would probably want to try the specialties of Tanzhou, but unfortunately it was already night when we arrived in Tanzhou. Fortunately, the inn where we collected the food was close to Lao Cai's Duck Restaurant, so we could buy these. We didn't have the chance to buy other Tanzhou delicacies."
"Give this portion to your mother. She should have the Qiankun bag given by the fifth senior brother. Keep it and eat it slowly."
"This one is for Grandmother Lin and Grandfather Lin; this one is for Aunt Lin and Uncle Lin; this one is for Second Brother Lin's family."
In fact, only four portions were prepared, each with two jars of sour duck, a few bowls of pickles, half a table of hot dishes bought in the south, and a few pastries.
She counted them out and packed them in the boxes that she usually used to store the delicacies from the imperial kitchen, then gave them to Lin Haoran and put them into his Qiankun bag.
Although Lin Haoran is a teenager of about the same age as the others, he is able to join the Qinglong Guard to carry out missions, and he is also the eldest son of Yun Xuanyuan, so of course he has more than one Qiankun bag on him.
Yuntang also separated out several copies for General Jingbei's Mansion and asked Lin Haoran to deliver them together.
"When you go to the Gu family, tell them that our fourth brother has just broken through and is in seclusion at Qingfeng Temple. He will be back at the end of the month or the beginning of the month."
"And I have a message for Fang Yi's wife. I will go to the northern border tonight and arrive at the border town tomorrow morning. If she has anything to bring back to her parents' home, she can prepare it and have someone send it to Qingfeng Palace at 3 p.m."
Yuntang explained everything to Lin Haoran one by one.
Because Gu Yifang was at Yunshang Temple, even the Gu brothers only wandered around the Imperial Guard Camp and did not practice with the others because their cultivation levels were different.
Therefore, the Gu brothers did not know that Yuntang was back. Yuntang was too busy to visit both the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the General Jingbei's Mansion. She also had to visit her Princess's Mansion.
I heard from my third senior brother yesterday that Marquis Yong'an has been busy organizing the banquet these days. He is familiar with the environment and manpower, and arranges various matters before and after the day. In fact, he is quite busy.
But she will not return to Yong'an Marquis Mansion today.
After Lin Haoran left, Yuntang had breakfast with his third and ninth senior brothers, and then took his ninth senior brother to see their new house.
Seeing this, Xiao Beichen just smiled and reminded: "Remember to come back for lunch."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Beichen said, "Xiao Tang'er, you should leave the food behind. If you don't have time to come back, wouldn't the brothers have waited for nothing?"
Yuntang smiled awkwardly, and quickly took out a lot of food, including some breakfasts from various places, and some wine bought from the winery, put them back into a small Qiankun bag, and handed it to the third senior brother.
"Xiao Tang'er is so good. She remembers to bring local specialties for her senior brother when she goes out." Xiao Beichen took the small Qiankun bag with a smile and did not forget to praise her.
Yun Tang smiled brightly: "That's a must."
"Go ahead. If you can't make it back for lunch, your seniors won't wait for you." Xiao Beichen waved his hand, but he knew clearly what was going to happen next.
Yun Tang did not go through the palace gate, but took out the Green Dragon Wooden Puppet. Seeing that she was too lazy to take another step, Yun Xuanmo stepped forward helplessly.
"Well, don't fly around in broad daylight. Let's go in a carriage."
"Oh." Yun Tang put away the Qinglong wooden puppet again, took out a candied haws, ate it while walking, looked at Yun Xuanmo, and handed the candied haws string that he had just bitten to Yun Xuanmo.
"Just bite one so no one will see you," she whispered.
Because Yun Xuanmo said that he would not eat candied haws in front of others after returning to the capital, as it would damage his dignity as the leader of the Qinglong Guard and he, a man of great stature, would be looked down upon.
Therefore, Yuntang did not give him one, but reminded him to just eat one.
Yun Xuanmo bit off a candied haws reluctantly, and followed the little girl's wishes before leaving Qingfeng Palace with her. He called the guards to harness the carriage and rode out of the palace.
Yuntang's carriage was parked not far from Qingfeng Palace, so as long as she didn't go from the sky, she could sit in the carriage on the palace road without having to go to the palace gate to harness the carriage.
The coachman and his attendants were all imperial guards.
