Section 8 Inner City (2)

Section 8     Union Market (2)

The people in the market whispered to each other. I heard that people came to try Shanxi snacks. The owners of various businesses stretched their necks and waited. If they could keep this master to eat in their own store, they would probably be the number one big deal in Shanxi Province in the future!

However, this guest's identity is too noble, and it is impossible to open his voice and welcome the guests loudly like he did on weekdays. This really corresponds to the saying "Fate is Destined". I just don't know which store can have such honor?

The emperor led the child forward and looked back. The queen and the others did not follow him. They turned their heads hard and looked around. The queen and the Youjia clan were still far away. They walked here and went to the shops on the side of the road from time to time. It seemed that they were buying something? The emperor was funny in his heart. Women naturally like shopping, and it seemed that they didn't have to divide the times. Seeing that there were guards around them as usual, they didn't have to worry about safety, so they ignored them.

"Ama, what are we eating?"

"Eat..." The emperor glanced across the shops, and there were his shopkeepers and friends standing at the door of each store. He looked at him with expectant eyes, which made people feel pitiful. But if he had only one person, how could he take care of so many people?

My mind changed and I thought of the idea, "Zaiying?"

"Son is here!"

"You and your brothers don't have to be with Ama today. What do you like to eat? Let's go by yourself when you see which food is delicious?"

"Ama?"

"Did you see?" the emperor lowered his voice and said to Zaiying. "The shops in the market all look forward to having the opportunity to brag to their colleagues in the future. The storefronts of their own have been entertained by the emperors from Beijing..." He himself also found it funny and pursed his lips, "Ama has only one person, and now, you and your brothers can only do it for you."

Zaiying immediately understood, "Ama means that you must always mix the rain and dew so that the people can have fun with the sky?"

"That's what it means, go, go." The emperor smiled and pulled Xiuhui's little hand, "Just Ama will just take you three sisters together."

"Yes." Zaiying agreed and turned around to greet Zaihe, Zaihe, Zaihe, Zaihe and Zaihei, "How about my brother bringing you to eat?"

"Oh, don't!" The emperor stopped them again, "Go to eat by yourself, don't go together."

"Zhe." Zaiying agreed, separated from her younger brothers and went to find the food she liked.

The emperor turned around and pulled the three girls and looked around casually, "Let's go, Ama will take you there to eat."

This is a restaurant called Zhimeizhai, famous for making fish. The boss's surname is Ma, and he is Huihui. Like the shop's shop's friends with all the peers on the street, they all secretly looked forward to it. But when the young emperor led the three children in one step, Boss Ma was nervous and excited, and his face turned red. He didn't care about the people around him. He came up first and stumbled on the ground, "Uh..."

Shanxi people like to speak nasal sounds. If they speak slowly, the listener will feel very good. However, this is the first time that the little girls present heard it and couldn't help laughing, "Ama, do you listen, it's like you're clamoring?"

"Tongzhou is less than a hundred miles away from the capital, and the customs and customs are already very different, let alone here?" The emperor waved his hand and smiled, "The world is equal, you don't have to be so panic, get up and talk."

"Uh... it's... you old." Boss Ma got up and no longer had his usual words. He stood aside, stunned, but didn't know what to say.

Sushun stepped forward and was with Liu Fu. Xu helped the emperor to sit in the hall, turned around and winked at Boss Ma. The old man came to his senses and hurried forward, kneeling down and met again, "Please... Master."

"Get up, what's your specialty in Zhimeizhai?"

"If you are old, the restaurant... the new chef hired by the restaurant is specialized in making carp produced by the Fenhe River..."

"Okay, just try it."

"Yes, you are old." After ordering the dishes, Boss Ma personally carried a carp weighing more than two pounds and asked for instructions on how to eat it.

"Make four." The emperor said familiarly. The so-called four-dry is to eat one fish and four fish. The roe is called ten thousand fish, as usual, braised, and in addition, it is particular, "the head and tail are also braised."

"Yes, braised, you're old."

The emperor's eyebrows moved, as if he was a little displeased with Boss Ma's words. "Sauce roasted in the middle," he said, "The rest is jealous."

"Yes, jealous, you are old." Boss Ma agreed, lifted the fish up, "falling to death..."

"Oh!" Su Shun stood and served, and the emperor was paying attention to his eyebrows and eyes. Shanxi people respectfully called others and always added a 'You old', but they didn't want such a title, which made the emperor a little unhappy. If he continued to say it, an unexpected disaster would be right in front of him. It was nothing to punish a boss Ma, but if it disturbed the emperor's interest in parade for this, it would be a big problem. He was wise in a hurry and reached out to stop him, "Slow, slow!" He rushed to say, "You are already braised, you are jealous, you can't kill you again."

The emperor and the three girls laughed together! "You are so good at telling jokes, you are old." Boss Ma smiled embarrassedly, no longer performing this program of proof of his true self and showing off his live fish.

The emperor was having a meal, and the foreign ministers could not accompany him. Sushun saw nothing and turned around and left the store door of Zhimeizhai. In early August, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. The street in front of Zhimeizhai was filled with people. He kept looking at the store. Sushun saw a familiar face in the crowd at first sight. He walked forward a few steps and brought the people out of the crowd. "How is it?"

The person who came was Cao Qingfu. This time he came to the inner market, there was something he had to report to Sushun. He smiled flatteringly, "I have done what I said to you by sir."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"She didn't want to come at first, but Xiaodi told her that this time the emperor was lucky enough to the west and the empress followed him. All the officials and civilian women in the province who had once commended the court had to pay tribute to the empress. Only with such words could she be willing to go from Zezhou Prefecture to Taiyuan City."

"Well done well, don't be afraid that she won't come. As long as the person arrives, everything will be fine." Sushun smiled and patted Cao Qingfu on the shoulder, "If this matter can finally be smoothed out by the emperor's will, you are forcing someone to be rich and powerful!"

"Everything must be cultivated and promoted by adults. When villains provide for success, they really dare not take credit for it."

Su Shun gave it to him and felt very satisfied: He really deserved to be the largest business in the province to check the cabinet. He really knows it! If he has the chance in the future, he might as well promote him seriously.

Turning around and looking at Zhimeizhai's door was surrounded by people. He waved his hand and coaxed flies, "Go away!" Then he shouted loudly, "Xi Linga?"

"I'm in the position of a humble position! I've met the Lord of the Central Hall."

"Look at how you do a good job, how many people gather here? If you disturb your master's interest and punish him, will it be yours or mine?"

Xiling A was scolded by Su Shun for no reason. He knew that he was deliberately showing his might in front of others, but he just took advantage of the situation and stomped his feet hatefully, and turned around and raised the whip in his hand to drive away the people. He didn't prevent a child from coming out behind him. "Ama, how many people are?"

The emperor and a few children had eaten, and left the store door of Zhimeizhai, and were stunned. The street was full of people, as if all the people from Taiyuan Prefecture had gathered here. Turning around, the queen and others were standing in a corner outside the store, tilting their heads and smiling at themselves.

Seeing the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty standing in front of him, with a warm smile on his face, no one among the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, "Long live the emperor!"

The emperor was shocked. Today was the first time the inner city opened. Although the people who were wandering around the streets knew who the visitor was, the government had a notice and no one could reveal the emperor's identity. He just thought that he was like others, who came to the inner city for a tour.

Unexpectedly, some of the people looked excited, and yelled such a sentence in public, which made everyone stunned! After a while, more and more people fell down like waves, and the sound of roaring like mountains and tsunamis sounded, "Long live Emperor Xianfeng, long live long live long live long!" The voice became louder and louder, and the many court officials standing around Zhimeizhai responded so much and knelt down with the people.

The emperor did not expect it at all. In a shock, a sense of cruelty suddenly flashed in his heart, "No!"

Everyone stood up one after another, their eyes fell on the emperor, as if they were hoping that he could say something, "I am lucky this time..." After waiting for a long time, the emperor finally spoke slowly. This was not a farewell speech, so he was talking in his heart while making a speech. In such a solemn occasion, every word had to be written into the original words, and it was necessary to be able to understand it, but it could not be like memorizing articles. Therefore, he spoke very slowly, "I do the law of the Holy Ancestor, and govern the world with filial piety. The governors of Shanxi Province, and the gentry and elders of the province, and the hearts of the people of the province were eager to be happy, and the poems were submitted to the Western Tour... Emperor Yongji, Emperor Shengzu Ren, and the six tours of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was lightly and bright, and Yunyi was willing to follow the request and the carriage came from the east. Wherever I visited, I visited, and saw the beautiful mountains and rivers and the abundant people, which was enough to entertain the holy heart."

"Since the Western Tour, I have been concerned about the people, the provinces and the customs are concerned, and I am not afraid to be diligent in the Lunar New Year. The river is vast and densely populated, and I have always been concerned about it. The official, military affairs, river affairs, coastal defense, and the suffering of the mortal world are nothing more than just thinking about it. The people who support the elderly and the young are welcomed, and praise the filial piety of the heavenly family, and the love of benevolence and kindness is clearly revealed." He paused and smiled suddenly, "The inner city is originally the people of Jin Province, and the idea of ​​arousing my intentions to refute my smile. I have come here today. Seeing that the people in the province are rich and the businesses are prosperous, I feel very happy. But, the name of the inner city is really unpleasant. Weng Tonghe?"

Weng Tonghe also followed his entourage to the inner city, and after hearing this, he stood up from the crowd, "I'm here."

"You are the top scholar I have personally picked up and are very knowledgeable. Let me tell you, what should I change the name of this inner city?"

"Emperor, although I am a little talented person, I am in front of the Holy Lord, so how can I argue with you..."

"I don't need you to praise the Holy One. Just say it."

Weng Tonghe could not hide from him. After thinking carefully for a moment, he bowed and replied, "I think that the former Ming Chengzu of the country, Yan, passed through the ferry crossing, and later changed its name to Tianjin. The previous example may be cited in the present. This inner city may be renamed Tianshi. I am stupid and ask the emperor to advise him."

"The word 'tian' is used well, but Tianshi may not sound so pleasant. In my opinion, it will be changed to Tianjie. What do you think?"

"The emperor's saints are profound and easy to learn, but the sages of peace and sages are somewhat at peace on the streets of heaven, and I am impressed by the ministers." Weng Tonghe raised his head and smiled with the emperor, all with a tacit feeling.
