Chapter Forty-Eight: Going Out
"What ???" Tao Xiushui said that Xiao Lan'er didn't understand it, and continued to ask, "What is the history of the family??"
Tao Xiushui wanted to write, but put down the pen at this time and said: ?"? When did you big businessmen get rich?"
"Ah, that's it! let me think about it."
?“? It seems that the new emperor has not long ascended the throne in the first year?"
It turned out to be the same as Qingzhu, "Then can you tell me about your family's fortune process, I'm a little curious"
Tao Xiushui didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only use her friend with apologies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But it's okay if everyone is okay, if something happens, how can she not leave the Xiao family alone?.
Xiao Lan'er thought for a while and said:
?“? According to my father, it seems that my grandfather has always made a living by making cloth, and then he made a little money and had savings, so he slowly expanded a small workshop, from one to two, until my father took over, there were four, until my father improved the craft,?? Business is getting better and better.
It is not unusual for Tao Xiushui to hear the history of the Xiao family, it has developed little by little from childhood to adulthood.
Xiao Lan'er can't be a lie, there is still trust in this, unless there is a truth that she doesn't know.
But it's not sure that only the Tao family has a problem? I won't be so unlucky, right? Will I have to be all over the house if I live again, my heart will skip a beat, and I don't dare to think about it again? .
She looked at Xiao Lan'er and said: ?"? It's still early, so let's go out for a walk, shall we?!"
"Do you want to go out in two days after you come back from shopping?"
Tao Xiushui smiled?"? Who can stay at home every day without going out! Besides, this is the city, so what's not to go out?"
"Okay, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell you?"
"What??"
"I think you just forgot, according to the past practice of Baicheng, the weather is about to enter summer, and the city lord will invite the famous people in the city to hold a banquet, of course, the young masters and young ladies of the appropriate age in each province are generally invited to participate?"
Tao Xiushui really hadn't heard of this matter, and she didn't know about it, but since it was Baicheng's previous practice, she couldn't say that she didn't remember everything, so she just said there:
?“? Do you go every year???"
"Of course, it's just that you only stay for a while every year and leave, did you go before???"
?......Tao Xiushui didn't know what to say, she just smiled. Guess?"
Xiao Lan'er pouted, "I guess you must not have go?"
"Hehe, almost" She will have to ask Qingzhu about it, has the original owner gone every year?.
Tao Xiushui said while looking at the sky outside and said: ?" It's a fine day, why don't we go out for a walk? How about we eat out at noon?"
Xiao Lan'er listened to it for a while, "Okay, but I have to go home and bring a letter in a while, so as not to wait for me?"
"Well, I haven't eaten out once?!? Tao Xiushui said unconsciously.
"Oh, haven't you eaten it? How is that possible?" Xiao Lan'er didn't believe it, she had always heard that this person was messing around outside, although the rumors were not credible, but there should be no mistake with having a meal or something.
Tao Xiushui knew that she had exposed her mouth, she used to be in the capital, so she would come to Baicheng so far away, of course she hadn't eaten it.
But I'm afraid that this girl will keep asking questions, so she hurriedly changed her words?"? I haven't eaten it this year, I'm talking about this year?"
"It's pretty much the same, who doesn't know that Miss Xiushui of the Tao family sprinkles a lot of silver, and she doesn't take silver as silver, which means that she hasn't eaten outside, who believes it?"
"What, you said I used to be like that?"? Tao Xiushui was more focused on listening to what this person said earlier.
"yes, that's what everyone said, but now it seems that the rumors are not credible?"
Tao Xiushui pulled the corners of his mouth?"? Or do you understand me, let's go, let's go out for a walk?"
Xiao Lan'er only receives one maid every time she comes, called Xiaomei.
This girl is good at everything, but she is too honest, you don't ask her and never talk to her, as if she is an invisible person? .
Tao Xiushui changed his clothes, called Qingzhu again, and several people went out one after another.
When he arrived at the gate, he only let Xiao Lan'er out, but he didn't let Tao Xiushui go.
Tao Xiushui thought that Mrs. Tao was meeting with her son to catch up, and she didn't care about her at all, so she didn't ask her for leave.
At this time, she can't guarantee it, even if she takes leave, will Dr. Tao allow it, so let's cut it first and then talk about it.
Anyway, with my grandfather to keep it, as long as it's not too much, it's okay to mess around.
Seeing that the little girl would not let out, she said:
?“? Why don't you let me go out, my father and wife have explained before, as long as Miss Xiao is present, I can go out of this door casually, do you want me to call the old lady to let me go???"
"Miss, don't be embarrassed, didn't the old man say that day? No one is allowed to go out?"
"That's a momentary angry talk, that can be taken seriously, besides, I was led out by Miss Xiao's family, what are you afraid of? Mrs. will ask in a while, can't you just go back like this? Even if something really happens, it won't be on your head?"
After speaking, he glanced at the green bamboo beside him.
Qingzhu also understood, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the little guy and said: ?"? Don't worry, our young lady will be back in a moment, and she will only stroll around the near side, and will not go far?"
The little guy took the silver, although he was in a dilemma, but he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Tao Xiushui just wanted to see if he could meet that cold man.
This man sent their grandchildren back, and let his subordinates drive away.
I don't know if I've been out of the city these days, or I've been staying in the city?
She was not very relieved about the Tao family's affairs, mainly because she wanted to ask clearly, and she also had a preparation in her heart.
Xiao Lan'er saw that her friend didn't even tell her if she went out without telling her three or two sentences, and she was envious.
Unconvinced: ?"? Just let you go, and even his mother didn't say a word, this ?......? It's too loose?"
Tao Xiushui smiled and said: ?"? If you want to be envious, you can try it too, but your brother is going to break your leg, can't you say that I told you?"
Xiao Xing'er pouted, ?"? I don't really have the guts, but why don't we change it?!?"
Tao Xiushui didn't react?"? How do you change it?"
"Aren't you and my surname Xiao okay?"? Xiao Lan'er ran away after saying this, and in the past few days, she found that her brother was abnormal, and she didn't know if she was moved by the person in front of her, but she raised her hands and agreed to marry this friend into the door as a sister-in-law.
Tao Xiushui didn't know what this person meant for a long time, surnamed Xiao, she really didn't miss it, she didn't have a good time in Prime Minister Xiao's mansion before? .
ran up and hit Xiao Nizi and said: ?"? What nonsense?!? Let's go, why don't I treat you to something delicious at noon?"
The two talked and laughed and got into the carriage when Xiao Lan's child came.
When we arrived on the street, it was just in time for the bustle, and the side street of the horse-drawn carriage was a flower street.
None of them had ever passed, and every time they passed by, they only looked at each other from afar.
The weather was warm and the scent of incense wafted in from the outside window.
"It smells so good!" Qingzhu said.
"It does smell good"
"Be quiet, and don't look anywhere" Xiao Lan'er was afraid that the coachman outside would hear it and hurriedly stopped the sound.
After a short time, I listened to the buzz of people outside, like there was some excitement.
It turned out that the brothel had set up a platform in the middle of the main street, and the Oiran sang and danced, and there were people shouting on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is Miss Hongshan stepping out of the boudoir and singing and dancing for everyone."
The melodious singing voice floated in from afar.
The shouts of the people around them immediately mixed together, and it sounded extremely enthusiastic.
Before the carriage approached, it could be heard from afar.
This lively scene made several people in the carriage unable to sit still, and they lifted the curtains to look out.
I heard a sound, but I couldn't see anything.
I saw that most of the road was blocked by people watching the bustle, and the blocked carriages were waiting in a convoy to pass slowly.
The coachman of Xiao Mansion pulled over to the side and said: ?"? Miss, can't there be more people ahead?"
At this time, several people in the car had already wanted to stop, so they were looking forward to going down for a walk.
But Xiao Lan'er didn't dare to ask the coachman to stop first, because when she came out, she was instructed by her mother not to go to some smoky places, especially some flower streets and willow lanes that girls couldn't go.
Every step he takes today, the coachman will tell his mother in every detail.
So just now, several people in the car had their eyes shining and wanted to see the excitement, but they didn't dare to ask them to stop.
It's good that I can't get by, and I finally have an excuse to get off?。?
