Chapter 358: Slight and generous

The cherry blossoms in Chang'an have almost finished.
There are only dark red stamens left in the trees.
When Gu Liubai jumped over the wall of the courtyard and looked at the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, he couldn't help but sigh and said to the middle-aged woman, "If you want to eat oil cakes in three days in the morning, when I come here, I can still see the beautiful scenery on the branches. There are not many such ancient cherry blossom trees in Chang'an City."
The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Liubai jumping in, and her eyes looked a little surprised, but when Gu Liubai landed and expressed such emotion, she had already hidden her emotions well, and just said lightly, "There are not many cherry blossom trees like Chang'an, but there are not so many in Chang'an."
After replying to these two sentences, she looked at Gu Liubai who had walked up to her and said, "And you don't know that there is such a thing here. If you really like it so much, wouldn't you come here to check it out a few days ago?"
Gu Liubai smiled and put a large bag of things in front of her, and then complained: "I like it, but you don't know how busy I am these days."
The middle-aged woman smelled the smell of oil cakes and was a little happy, but when Gu Liubai sat down on the cushion opposite her, she realized that Gu Liubai's face was a little pale, and she frowned slightly and said, "Are you injured?"
"The problem of cultivation." Gu Liubai shook his head and untied the big bag of things. In addition to the oil cakes wrapped in thick oil paper, there were also several packs of cooked food wrapped in dried lotus leaves, crispy duck, braised hoofs, and grilled lamb chops. These things were like oil cakes, and were still steaming.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Gu Liubai, "You're missing a lot of people to buy it at the same time?"
"It's not just that many people are missing to buy at the same time. I also calculated the time, picked up somewhere in the city, and rushed over as fast as possible, so that these things can still be hot." Gu Liubai looked at her obviously swallowing her saliva and said contemptuously, "Just eat it quickly, it will taste bad if it is cold."
"You." The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows, and she felt that Gu Liubai had a bad attitude.
But then she felt that what Gu Liubai said made sense. She picked up a pancake and started eating it. As a result, she felt a little bitter after taking a bite. "What kind of stuffing is this green, oily and sticky?"
Gu Liubai smiled at the sight and said, "You are lucky, this is the only one. You caught it first. This is from a cake shop in Huangkexiang. The boss is beautiful and has a good business. The filling of the cake is unique. This is tea filling, and some kind of melon is added. It is said that this kind of filling is made in the past two days."
"Bao, bah, bah!" The middle-aged woman took another bite without giving up, but found that it was still unsatisfactory, so she could only change to another oil cake with some unwillingness.
As a result, when she got a mutton stuffing this time, her eyes immediately became crescent-shaped.
Gu Liubai felt that she was having fun and was smiling. As a result, the middle-aged woman looked at him and said seriously, "What kind of practice makes you weak in your body? Don't be anxious when you are anxious. It's useless to be anxious when you are anxious. The cultivation should be yours, and it's useless to be anxious."
Gu Liubai deliberately frowned and said, "Why do I think you are misleading people's children? According to what you say, diligence is useless?"
The middle-aged woman was justified and looked a little sarcastic, "Of course, diligence is a fool. Compared with her origin and luck, diligence is not eaten. Some people practice but practice every day, but they end up practicing some bad methods, but they can't practice them at the seventh level. Some people do nothing, eat, drink and have fun every day, and easily reach the eighth level."
"No?" Gu Liubai pulled the duck leg of a crispy duck and started eating it. "What you said is a bit too much. Whoever does nothing all day long can easily reach the eighth grade by eating, drinking and having fun every day."
"You haven't seen it before, but it doesn't mean there isn't." The middle-aged woman was a little anxious when she saw Gu Liubai pulling the duck legs of the crispy duck. "Didn't you give me food? Why did you eat it too?"
Gu Liubai smiled, "You are so protective of food? I just think you are bored to eat by yourself, so I can eat something with you."
The middle-aged woman said with a face that she was terrified, "You are more edible than a pig. I won't stop you. What if you eat them all. But I'm not stingy. You can eat the ones I've tasted and don't eat."
Gu Liubai almost laughed and said, "Then you are so generous."
The middle-aged woman didn't say much, so she pushed the oil cake with tea and melon stuffing forward, meaning that you'll eat this later.
Gu Liubai looked at her side, and the middle-aged woman looked around and said, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Liubai frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you bring wine when you come out this time? You shouldn't be so stingy. You are afraid that I will drink your wine, so you won't drink it yourself?"
The middle-aged woman glared at him and said, "I have seen it very tightly in the palace recently, and I can't get it."
Gu Liubai sighed, "Forget it, I will bring the wine next time, but the wine I bring is definitely not as good as yours."
The middle-aged woman had bitten open a few more oil cakes. She suddenly paused like she was distracted, and then said: "It turns out that the oil cakes in Chang'an City really have so many different fillings."
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I have someone write the name of the shop outside the oil paper. Which shop do you like to eat? Let me tell me that I will bring it next time."
The middle-aged woman ate silently. After a while, she pulled the leg of a crispy duck and said, "I don't know when next time."
Gu Liubai heard some meaning and said curiously, "Why, someone is watching you and can't escape?"
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a while and said, "That's right."
Gu Liubai turned his head and looked at the cherry blossom tree without petals, and said, "But by chance, I may have to leave Chang'an for a while next. Maybe it will be ten days later."
The middle-aged woman looked at him and said, "Are you going to Nanzhao?"
Gu Liubai said calmly, "Your information is very well-informed, but I shouldn't go to Nanzhao first, but I go to Fufeng first. It seems that Nanzhao will hand it over to the Jiannan Jiedushi first."
The middle-aged woman continued to eat and said, "That's fine."
Gu Liubai was a little curious, turned his head to look at her and said, "Your words seem to be very interesting. Why? Do you think it would be more dangerous for me to go to Nanzhao to quell the rebellion?"
The middle-aged woman had no empty mouth and did not reply to him. She just gave him a look for her to experience it herself.
Looking at her meaningful eyes, Gu Liubai was a little puzzled, "The military town on the Jiannan Jieduo has collected a total of 80,000 military power. According to reliable military information, Pi Hetuo, known as the King of Yunnan, now has only 40,000 troops in his hands, and Liuzhao may not be able to be combined into one rope. Logically speaking, if I can choose, I will definitely go to Nanzhao. I think this military merit to quell the rebellion is easier."
The middle-aged woman ate another bite of the oil cake and said, "Then why do I think Li Xianyu can't beat Pi Hetuo?"
Listening to the middle-aged woman deliberately calling Li Xianyu Li Xianyu Li, Gu Liubai couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't be the Li family's confidentiality? Do you know this Jiannan Jiedushi Li Xianyu very well? But it's not right. If you were the Li family's confidentiality and were so dissatisfied with him, you would definitely not hand over the command of the army to him."
"I'm not a secret person from Li's family, don't guess." The middle-aged woman ate another delicious filling at this time. She was very satisfied and her tone became much gentler. "Anyway, I just don't like him. I have reminded you seriously. It's good to go to Fufeng to make some military achievements, better than staying in Chang'an. However, the relationship between your Lu family and Pei family is not good. When you go to Fufeng, be careful that those subordinates of Duke Pei will wear you with their little shoes."
"Does it really treat me as Lu Letian?" Gu Liubai muttered in his heart, and then asked, "I recently heard that the previous generation of Depraved Temple was named Shen Qiqi. You said your surname is Shen, do you have any connection?"
The middle-aged woman frowned suddenly, "Don't worry about whether it's a big deal or not. I didn't remind you last time not to check those old accounts, don't worry about the depravity, and what the affairs of the Taoist priests do? Don't be able to come back after leaving Chang'an."
Gu Liubai said innocently, "Didn't some things happen to happen to run into? I can't hide them. Also, I suspect that you are either Princess Jing or related to Princess Jing. As you said, I don't know when I will come back after leaving Chang'an. I happened to find out a secret recently. You may be very interested, or you can tell you it."
The middle-aged woman suddenly became curious and said, "What's the secret?"
Gu Liubai whispered, "Isn't something big happening in Yuquan Temple recently? That Taoist Yu is a monk of the Fallen Temple."
"That's it?" The middle-aged woman suddenly felt a little contempt, "I also know that this Taoist Yu's surname is Shen. His family has been a monk of the Depravity Temple for several generations, and they all helped the Emperor of Sui to raise the real dragon."
Gu Liubai was stunned, "His ancestors helped the Emperor of Sui specifically raise dragons?"
The middle-aged woman was too lazy to say more and mocked her, "Your news doesn't seem to be well-versed at all."
Gu Liubai said seriously, "I don't know the identity and background of this person, but the news I know is that Lin Fu and this person are secretly connected. Lin Fu also hid a room of agarwood in the Liu family's colored agarwood shop, but the certificate of the agarwood was taken in the hands of Taoist Yu."
"A room full of agarwood?" the middle-aged woman frowned, "Is it true or false?"
Gu Liubai said seriously, "I'm lying to you, and it is said that there are many top-quality materials, which are of amazing value."
The middle-aged woman didn't respond and started eating silently again.
Gu Liubai glanced at her and said, "This news is what I told you. I want to leave Chang'an and I don't have time to plan this thing, but if you can succeed, you can get some benefits for me."
The middle-aged woman immediately smiled contemptuously, "Look at your petty look, and you can touch Lin Fu's things as long as you want? Don't make any decisions about this thing, no matter whether you have time or not."
