Chapter 67: Going out to see the excitement (Dragon Boat Festival plus more)

He Lin got Wei's permission late, went back to change his clothes, and was about to go out, when He Mian came over.

As soon as He Mian looked at his face, he said angrily: "It's a shame that my brother has fun and always thinks about you, why didn't you think about calling your brother when you went out to play? ”

If He Linwan really went to play, it would be nothing to bring He Mian to play, but she didn't go out to play, and if He Mian went with her, she was afraid that he would see any clues, so He Linwan thought about finding some excuse to send He Mian away for the time being.

He Mian saw that He Linwan didn't speak, thinking that she was empty-hearted, so he squinted at her and said, "I originally wanted to take you to join in the fun, but in this case, my brother won't take you to play today!"

He Linwan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she pretended to be curious on her face: "What's fun?"

He Mian said proudly: "You don't know, do you? There is a poetry meeting in Taibai Building today!"

"Poetry Society?" He Linwan glanced at He Mian.

He Mian rolled his eyes: "What kind of eyes are you! Even if Young Master Ben doesn't have any poetic talent, what's so strange about participating in a poetry meeting? Look at your strange appearance!"

He Linwan said with some amusement: "I'm just curious about what kind of excitement a poetry club can have." ”

He Mian reluctantly accepted He Linwan's explanation, leaned over and said, "You don't know, Mr. Qiu will be present at this poetry meeting." When he returned to Beijing a while ago, he said that he planned to accept a closed disciple for himself, and as soon as this statement came out, all the nobles in the capital who had children and grandchildren at home were moved, and I heard that even a few princes wanted to worship Mr. Qiu as a teacher. But who is Mr. Qiu? That is the 172nd generation of the saint's descendant! Even the emperor can't force the saint's successor to accept his son as a disciple! Otherwise, he won't offend all the scholars in the world?"

He Linwan nodded: "I see." "The last time I was in the Wei Mansion, the five princes seemed to worship under Mr. Qiu's door. It doesn't seem to have worked out yet?

However, He Linwan was not surprised, Qiu Yu had a strange temper and stubbornness, and after Li Xun succeeded to the throne, he wanted to invite him to enter the court as an official and promise the title of Taishi, but he refused. Not only did he not want to be an official, but he also lobbied his friend Yang Xu to hang up the seal and go to play the landscape with him. It's a pity that Yang Xu is not as free and easy as Qiu Yu.

"So as soon as the news that Mr. Qiu is coming to this poetry meeting spreads today, today's poetry meeting will be lively. The fifth prince, the sixth prince, and what Xue Gongzi, Mu Gongzi. An Gongzi and others will be present. It's nothing more than the purpose of being an apprentice to Mr. Qiu. With so many people vying for a gentleman, this is the same as recruiting relatives in a martial arts contest! That scene must be very beautiful, how can you say that this kind of excitement can be without me? Eh, by the way! Do you know why so many people are crying and rushing to become a disciple of Mr. Qiu?" He Mian said with great interest.

He Linwan smiled slightly. He said lightly: "Because it is said that the students taught by the saints are either kings and marquis or go to the pavilion to worship the prime minister." Where are these people sincerely going to worship their teachers? and the benefits of this false name. ”

He Mian sighed and looked at He Linwan: "It's really a Shibei three days to be impressed! You actually know all this! But this kind of statement is not groundless, aren't the disciples taught by those saints in the past also have the ability?"

He Linwan couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Yes? Do you know who this Mr. Qiu's mentor is?

He Mian was entangled in a pair of thick eyebrows when he heard this: "I remember that the one hundred and seventieth generation of the saint is a person from the previous dynasty, and the one hundred and seventy-first generation of the descendant is a hermit, and this hermit also has a senior brother? Who is Mr. Qiu's uncle?"

He Linwan got up and walked out, and said lightly: "It's the first assistant of the Taizu Dynasty, Yang Mengzheng of Wuzhou." It's getting late, it's time for me to go out. ”

He Mian immediately followed He Linwan: "Eh, what are you doing so fast? I'm going out too! He Mian walked a few steps and suddenly patted his head, "Ah, I remember! Wuzhou Yang family! Is that the Yang family?"

He Linwan didn't answer, He Mian thought about it for a while, and then shook his head and said, "What you said makes sense! What can a saint disciple do? He Lin Wan can't even protect his own descendants, so this saint disciple shouldn't be right." ”

He Linwan had already walked to the carriage, turned back to He Mian and said, "Mother has explained to me that I have some things to do, so I'll leave first, and the third brother will also go out early when the sun is not too big." ”

He Mian waved his hand at He Linwan: "I know, I know, if you have anything, let people come to Taibai Mansion to find me! Don't do it alone!"

He Mian was sometimes really afraid of He Linwan's violent temper, and he had to be worried when he went out with him, but he was even more worried when he didn't go out with him!

He Linwan nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.

After the curtain was lowered, He Linwan leaned against the wall of the car a little tiredly, looking at a certain place in the car and couldn't help but feel stunned.

When the carriage walked to Zhengyang Street, He Linwan came back to his senses, because the mother-in-law who followed the carriage outside reported that Wei's shop was about to arrive.

He Linwan originally wanted to go directly to Guangongmiao Hutong, but for fear of arousing Wei's suspicions, she thought that she was looking for an excuse to come out and mess around, so she still came to Zhengyang Street first.

Among the four shops under Wei's name, only the rice shop and the medicinal herb shop are next to each other, and the other embroidery village and goldsmith shop are one at the east end of Zhengyang Avenue and the other at the west end of Zhengyang Street. He Lin had instructed the coachman to go to the rice shop and the herb shop first, because He Gui would bring people here first. I didn't want to wait until I got to the place to find out that these two shops were actually diagonally opposite the cyclamen teahouse she came to last time.

When He Linwan came to find that there was no movement in the rice shop and the herb shop, and He Gui, who had gone out one step ahead of her, had not yet brought anyone over, He Linwan thought that something might be delayed over there, so he drove the carriage into the back door of the cyclamen teahouse like he did last time.

The last time she was on the second floor of the teahouse, she found that the view from above was very good, and she could see the rice shop and medicinal herb shop diagonally opposite the window when she sat by the window, so she planned to go up and sit down first, and then leave to go to Guangongmiao Hutong.

He Linwan waited for Chunxiao to take the car and the woman to go first before getting out of the carriage, and when he got out of the car, he found that the middle-aged shopkeeper who had taken a photo last time was waiting in person, and when he saw He Linwan coming down, he greeted him and said respectfully: "The little one arranged the private room for Miss He last time, I don't know if it's okay?"

He Linwan smiled and bowed: "There is a shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, turned sideways to lead He Lin upstairs at night, and said, "The little one will send someone to invite the owner to greet Miss He." ”

He Linwan said with a smile: "I just came over to sit casually today, I don't need to invite your boss to come over, you can also go and get busy with the shopkeeper, you don't need to call me specifically, I'll rest for a while and leave." He Linwan saw that the business of today's teahouse was as good as last time, especially the lobby on the first floor was still very lively, He Linwan listened to it and found that what Mr. Storyteller said today was a strange story.

Although He Linwan said this, the shopkeeper personally sent her to the private room last time, and then ordered someone to serve refreshments before retreating.

He Linwan sat alone by the window and drank tea, and after a few sips, he heard a voice with a smile: "The distinguished guests have come to the door, and they have not let anyone inform me, the host, and I don't know what this distinguished guest means?"

He Linwan couldn't help but smile when she heard this voice, and turned her head to look out of the door: "I just sat down not long after Sister Zhao came, which shows the sincerity of this hospitality." ”

Zhao Qingqing pushed open the door and walked in: "People go to the teahouse to drink tea, they are all calling friends, and they talk about it loudly, just to be lively." Sister He occupies a table alone, I don't know what kind of posture it is?" Saying that, Zhao Qingqing sat down unceremoniously opposite He Linwan, shook the fan in his hand and looked at He Linwan and smiled.

He Linwan personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Since your family has a teahouse, I naturally came to drink tea, did Sister Zhao happen to have something around here?" Even if the shopkeeper saw that He Linwan was coming and sent someone to invite Zhao Qingqing, he didn't do it so quickly.

Zhao Qingqing took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "I happened to come to take stock of the accounts today, but I didn't want to hear the shopkeeper say that you are here, this is a rare guest, I have to come to say hello." I thought you would go to Taibai Mansion even if you went out today, why did you come here instead?"

He Linwan was about to speak, but from the window, he saw He Gui coming with a group of people and stopped at the rice shop opposite.

He Linwan saw that He Gui said something to a red-clothed soap next to him, and the soap nodded and called a small official next to him to follow He Gui into the rice shop.

He Linwan winked at Zhao Qingqing: "What's so nice about that group of nerds and gentlemen in Taibai Building, I see that there is also a lively scene here." ”

Zhao Qingqing raised his eyebrows suspiciously when he heard this, and looked at the rice shop with many people standing in front of the door diagonally opposite.

He Gui took the people who collected the warehouse into the rice shop: "The owner has sent someone, where is the shopkeeper." ”

When the shopkeeper of the rice shop heard this, he immediately walked out of the room, looked at He Gui a few times, and then looked at the people wearing official clothes next to him, and saw that he didn't know any of them, so he couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know which proprietor sent them?

He Guidao frowned and said, "What is the owner? There is only one owner of this shop, and that is the third wife of Chengenbo Mansion." These officials are here today to carry our wife's donated grain, so you can take out the account books of the shop and give them them. ”

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, he looked at the people who were in charge of Hegui and the treasury, and said with a smile: "The account book is in the hands of our steward, I can't be the master, so I will send someone to ask the steward to come over, and a few of you please sit inside and have a cup of tea." ”

I wish you all a happy ^_^ Dragon Boat Festival
