After noon, it started to snow heavily in Chang'an.

The snow filled the sky with snow, instantly spreading the entire Chang'an City.

At this moment, Li Hong, Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong and twenty guards left the East Palace.

After leaving the palace, they did not immediately go to the place that Cheng Dazhi and Wu Er agreed, but came to Yanshoufang because Li Hong wanted to eat a bowl of chopped green onion noodles.

Due to the snow, there are few pedestrians on the street and there are no customers in the Changhua Noodle Restaurant, so it seems very deserted. Zhou Juan sat in front of the window a little bored, staring at the heavy snow outside, staring at the heavy snow outside in a daze.

"Hey—! When will I see you again?" After a long time, Zhou Juan suddenly sighed, then took off the hairpin that Li Hong gave her that day from her head, held it in her hand and stared for a moment, then inserted it into her hair bun again, and looked out the window again.

In the past two days, as long as she is free, Li Hong's figure will appear in her heart without realizing it. She is thin and thin, but her eyes are clear and simple, and her warm voice will appear.

She didn't know if this was just like, she only knew that this kind of longing was sweet and painful!

Just as Zhou Juan glanced at the street corner, she saw a group of people wearing straw raincoats and umbrellas, slowly appearing in her sight. At first she didn't care, thinking that it was just a passerby, but when the group approached, she saw that the young man walking in front was Li Langjun, who came to eat noodles last time. She was stunned for a moment, then a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly got up and walked out the door.

As soon as Zhou Juan walked out of the onion noodle shop, Li Hong and his group had already arrived at the door of the noodle shop.

Three days apart, we met again. Li Hong and Zhou Juan looked at each other with tenderness, as if there were thousands of words to say, and there was a little warmth that was more silent than sound at this moment.

When they didn't see each other, they didn't think three days were longer, but now when they saw each other, they realized that these short three days were actually longer than the three years in the past.

After watching silently for a long time, the two of them would smile.

"Miss Zhou, I have put the chopped green onion noodles for me. After I finish eating, I have to do some serious business." Li Hong looked at Zhou Juan with a gentle look and said softly.

"Hey! Please sit in there!" Zhou Juan said with a light smile.

Li Hong turned around and said a few words to Chen Gong, and left twenty guards outside. Only he, Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong walked into the scallion noodle restaurant. It was the table last time, and the seat last time. After the three of them sat down, Yan Zhuang took the initiative to pour tea for Li Hong, and he was very tactful and did not speak anymore. At this time, Zhou Xing, who was reading a book in the inner room, learned that it was Li Langjun that was coming, so he hurriedly put down the book and hurriedly walked out to greet Li Hong.

"Don't be too polite, sit down and let's talk for a while!" Seeing that Zhou Xing was about to salute him, Li Hong stopped him.

Li Hong lent him the last time, making Zhou Xing feel like he was treasured. With these books, he was more confident about the imperial examinations he would take this year. So although he knew that Li Hong was a family, he had a good impression of Li Hong, so he said happily, "Okay, I'm just about to talk to Li Langjun, it would be better if Li Langjun had time today."

"I received the book I borrowed last time? You can say what else you lack. As long as I can help you, I will definitely find a way to solve it for you." Li Hong asked after Zhou Xing sat down.

Last time when "Luge" came to send a book, Zhou Xing thought it was from Li Hong's mansion, so he handed the hairpin Li Hong to Zhou Juan to the person who delivered the book and asked him to return it to Li Hong. But who knew that the person who sent the book was not from Li Hong's mansion, but was from "Luge". After asking again, he realized that Li Langjun went to "Luge" to buy books on the law and then lent him.

For this reason, Zhou Xing felt even more grateful to Li Hong.

So now when Li Hong asked this, he hurriedly stood up and said gratefully, "Li Langjun, the last time the people from the 'Lu Pavilion' came to deliver books, I realized that these books were lent to me after you bought them from 'Lu Pavilion'. I don't know how to thank you... I also asked Li Langjun to receive a greeting from Zhou Xing!"

Li Hong knew that Zhou Xing's gratitude to him was from the bottom of his heart, and without any false intentions, he received a gift from Zhou Xing.

Then he signaled Zhou Xing to sit down and said, "I gave you books to read more books so that you can pass this year's imperial examination, enter the officialdom, and shine. Of course, I did this without selfishness, but I can't tell you now that when you pass this year's imperial examination, I will send someone to find you."

Although Zhou Xing was a cruel official in history, he was still valued by Empress Wu, which is enough to show that he has outstanding features.

Now that Li Hong met Zhou Xing earlier, he naturally would not let him go.

Because there are not only open conspiracies in the struggle for power, but also conspiracies, and sometimes despicable means have to be used to achieve his goals. Li Hong believes that he is not a gentleman, so he does not mind using sinister and ruthless means to seek benefits for himself when necessary. Therefore, he is not at all rejected Zhou Xing's command and is looking forward to Zhou Xing's future performance.

Seeing that Li Hong was speaking openly and did not hide his selfishness towards him, Zhou Xing had a little concern about whether Li Hong was deliberately lending him books, and he was swept away any ulterior motives. He saw him say in a serious tone, "Zhou Xing understands what Li Langjun means. Please rest assured. On the day when Zhou Xing is on the list of scientific research, he will definitely visit Li Langjun's house!"

Li Hong nodded slightly, he believed that Zhou Xing could do it.

At this time, Zhou Juan's scallion noodles were ready. She walked out with the noodles on a plate and happened to see her younger brother excitedly and warm up, because she had not seen her younger brother chatting as happily as she was today for a long time.

She quickly walked to Li Hong, put the three bowls of noodles on the plate onto Li Hong, Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong's tables, and smiled slightly and said, "Li Langjun, your noodles are ready, use them slowly."

Seeing that his sister gave Li Hong a lot of green onions, Zhou Xing remembered the scene when Li Hong came to the noodle restaurant for the first time and couldn't help but joke, "Sister, I'm hungry, I want to eat noodles, and I want to add more green onions."

When Zhou Juan heard her younger brother's words, her pretty face turned slightly red. She pinched Zhou Xing fiercely and scolded, "Just finished eating, why are you hungry? Why are you hungry? Why don't you go to read a book quickly, don't disturb Li Langjun's meal!"

Zhou Xing found that his sister was in a good mood today, so he turned around and made a face for Zhou Juan. Before Zhou Juan made a gesture to hit him, he hurriedly gave Li Hong a gift and quickly fled back to the inner room to read. After Zhou Xing left Zhou Juan, he said with a shame, "I am a younger brother, Li Langjun laughing!"

"Fortunately, he worked very hard and wanted to pass this year's imperial examination, so there was no big problem." Li Hong said affirmatively.

"With this sentence from Li Langjun, I will feel much more at ease!" Zhou Juan was very happy to see Li Hong say this. Although she had only met Li Hong twice, when she saw Li Hong at first, she believed in what Li Hong and what he said.

After Zhou Juan finished speaking, she did not disturb Li Hong anymore, but sat beside her and watched the heavy snow outside the window, but would occasionally peek at Li Hong.

Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong roughly understood the prince’s thoughts, and hurriedly finished their meal and left, saying that they would wait for Li Hong outside the door.

At this time, only Li Hong and Zhou Juan were left in the shop.

"Does Li Langjun still want to eat?" Zhou Juan asked when she saw Li Hong eat.

"No need! I'm already full!" Li Hong said with a smile, and seemed to think of something again, sighing, "If I had some pickles in the scallion noodles, it would be even better."

"Pickled vegetables?" Zhou Juan asked in confusion. She made chopped green onion noodles for generations, but she had never heard of chopped green onion noodles with pickled vegetables, and she didn't know what pickled vegetables that could be paired with chopped green onion noodles were.

Seeing Zhou Juan's confused look on his face, Li Hong realized that he had said the wrong thing, because there were no pickles in the Tang Dynasty. However, thinking of this, Li Hong had an idea. He thought that if he taught Zhou Juan to pickle pickles and asked her to serve a small plate of pickles when buying chopped green onion noodles, would the business of this noodle restaurant be better?

With this idea, Li Hong smiled faintly and explained to Zhou Juan, "It's a side dish that can be served and cooked. However, the Tang Dynasty has not yet, because this is what I saw in a book about introducing the diet of countries in the Western Regions."

"You can also cook side dishes?" Zhou Juan asked excitedly.

If pickles are really good at cooking and can also serve wine, if the process of making pickles is simple and the ingredients are not expensive, plus the chopped green onion noodles, it will make her noodle restaurant business better.

However, when she thought that she could cook pickles, she had never heard of it before, and Zhou Juan's expression became dim again, she sighed slightly, "It's a pity that I can't make it!"

"If you want to make it, I can tell you the method of pickling pickles. I know how to make it." Li Hong said.

"Really?" Zhou Juan said happily.

"Of course." Li Hong nodded, and briefly told Zhou Juan about the process of making pickles. Zhou Juan listened very carefully. After listening, she suddenly said, "It seems that it requires a lot of salt?"

"Yeah!" Li Hong said subconsciously, "—Yes!"

But seeing Zhou Juan frowning slightly and looking frowning, Li Hong suddenly realized and understood why Zhou Juan said that. It is already very good that ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty can afford salt. There are also extra salt-grained pickled vegetables there!

Li Hong knew that he gave Zhou Juan salt to ask her to pickle pickles, but Zhou Juan would definitely not want it, so he could only say, "Otherwise, after pickling the pickles, you will give me some of them, and the other part will be kept for the side dishes for making chopped noodles by yourself. As for the salt you need, let me take it as your salary for making pickles. What do you think?"

"Li Langjun is like this..." Zhou Juan was about to refuse, but Li Hong smiled, "Miss Zhou, I like to eat pickles, and no one in the house can do it, so I can only trouble you."

Seeing Li Hong say this, Zhou Juan knew that Li Hong actually liked to eat pickles, so she did not refuse, but nodded and agreed!

"Tonight, I will send someone to bring the things you need!" Seeing that Zhou Juan agreed, Li Hong did not say anything more, but left the noodle shop with great strides.

"Oh, Li Langjun--" When Li Hong left the noodle shop, Zhou Juan remembered that she had not returned the hairpin to Li Hong, so she rushed out of the door, but found that Li Hong and his group had already walked away. (To be continued)
