Chapter 5
The bustle of Taipingju continues.
The scholars were drunk, laughing, singing, dancing, and riding crookedly on horseback.
This bustle attracted curiosity on the road first, and then some people came to ask.
"What is it doing here?"
"This is a restaurant!" The scholars replied, drunk, "No, it's not an ordinary restaurant, there are good words and good dishes here." β
Good words?
For passers-by, good words are not attractive, good dishes...
Causing these scholars to be so crazy, I don't know what's wrong?
The tables and cushions were being cleaned up, and someone in the hall began to move forward.
"What's here, shopkeeper?"
"Let's have two meat dishes to try."
"What's in it?"
Xu Maoxiu retracted his gaze and looked at the carriage and horses.
Cheng Jianniang smiled at him and said goodbye.
"Sister, don't worry." Xu Maoxiu said.
"Lang Jun is going to work hard, it's better to recruit more people." The maid sat next to Cheng Jianniang and said with a smile, unable to hide her joy.
"I'll talk about this after discussing it with Shopkeeper Wu." Xu Maoxiu said.
Cheng Jianniang nodded, and the maidservant lowered the curtain.
Xu Maoxiu didn't see it until he turned around, and the front of the Taiping Bureau had been cleaned up, and there were a few people scattered in the hall.
"There are some things that are easier said than done." He shook his head and said with a smile.
"That's up to whom." Fan Jianglin heard it and smiled.
Xu Maoxiu smiled.
The carriage drove slowly, and as the city gate approached, the smile on the maidservant's face disappeared.
"Lady, what Master Zhou said. What should I do? She couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her.
"How?" She asked.
"Lady." The handmaid sat down beside her. "The Qin family. It's a very good family affair for Master Zhou, so they won't take what the lady says seriously. β
Speaking of this, he sighed again.
Who would take what the lady said?
Marriage events, matchmakers' words, parents' lives, the sad thing is that the parents of the lady are unreliable, it is better not to have parents.
She knows the door of the Qin family, and others naturally know the Tao. There is no need to guess, whether it is the Zhou family or the Cheng family who know about it, they will definitely not object at all, but will be overjoyed.
"It's okay, if it's another family, I don't have to think about it, if it's the Qin family." Cheng Jianniang said, smiling slightly, "Someone bothered for me." β
Cheng Jianniang raised her chin outward, and the maid looked puzzled. Seeing a carriage and a horse parked near the door, Saturday Lang stood proudly.
The carriage and the horses were not allowed to enter outside the door. The courtyard door was wide open, and people on the road could see at a glance the maidservants laying cushions under the inner porch.
Because he is a foreign man and a woman lives alone, he cannot enter the house to show that he is clear and bright.
The guests and hosts sat separately, because the maid was busy, and Banqin was to serve tea and water, she lowered her head and pushed the three cups of white water away, and then hurriedly retreated.
"My father has been here?" Liuliulang asked straight to the point.
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"So, do you know what to do?" Saturday Lang asked.
Cheng Jianniang nodded again.
"That," Liulang said, but he didn't know what to say.
"You see, although it is not intentional, it always causes trouble for the lady." Qin Langjun took the words with a smile and said, while giving a salute.
"Not really." Cheng Jianniang said, "No one asks for it, it's trouble." β
The two were stunned.
This woman is really shameless, and she is embarrassed to say this kind of thing, Liu Liulang glared.
Qin Langjun laughed.
"Don't worry, lady, I'll solve it." He said.
"That's for the best." Cheng Jianniang said, getting up.
This is about to send off the guests, and the little guy on the side hurriedly ran over, one supported Qin Langjun, and the other hurriedly set up the crutches.
It seems that he just discovered that it is such a simple thing as lying down, but Qin Langjun needs to use two people and a cane to help......
Liuliulang's hand hanging by his side couldn't help but clench.
"Cheng Jianniang." He shouted, "What the hell is going to do for him?" β
Cheng Jianniang looked at him without saying a word.
Liuliulang also looked at her, and the bruises on his face bulged.
"Rokuro, it's really boring for you to be like this." Qin Langjun said.
He didn't look at Liulang or Cheng Jianniang, so he turned around and walked on crutches, and the wooden crutches knocked on the bluestone road, making a rhythmic sound, only to the door.
Liuliulang flicked his sleeves and turned around and strode away.
"Lady, the water has been boiled, wash up and rest." The maidservant said.
Cheng Jianniang nodded, helped the maid to go inward, and the courtyard door was closed and isolated from the outside.
The king of Jin'an County hurriedly walked, approached the inner palace gate, and looked left and right carefully, only then took a step, only took two steps, and a person jumped out on the side.
"Brother."
The king of Jin'an was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a little naughty boy.
"What did my brother do badly? I was scared! The second prince Ha Luha said with a smile.
The king of Jin'an County had a ghost in his heart, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
Although the second prince couldn't see it when he was young, the two attendants accompanying him could see it clearly, and he couldn't help but glance at each other and lowered his head.
"I just went out of the palace for a spin, what a bad thing." King Jin'an said, while resuming his normal steps forward, "It's you, today's homework is done?" β
It was the child who knew the joy of playing and suddenly began to read the most headache, and sure enough, when he heard this, the second prince did not ask about the king of Jin'an County, and wrinkled a small face, pulling the sleeve of the king of Jin'an.
"I can't remember what I said so much, and the queen mother still asked me in the evening, and my brother saved me." He said.
King Jin'an grinned.
"So, what's in it for me?" He said.
The two brothers laughed and walked away, and a group of people approached in the distance and saw the station standing still.
"King Weijun is five years older than me, but he plays with Brother Wang." A round young man who was much shorter than the king of Jin'an County said.
The ten-year-old eldest prince, although he still has the childishness of a child, but the upbringing in the palace has given him a noble atmosphere that other children do not have, and his every move is also pretended to be old because of the time of the people around him.
"The king of the county is full of nature and carefree, so he naturally plays with the second prince." The attendant next to him said with a smile.
"Well, it's still comfortable to be the king of the county, no better than me, and I already have to follow my father to govern." The eldest prince said, although he sighed in his words, his expression was a little condescending.
"My Highness, I don't dare to say that." The attendants laughed busily.
The eldest prince waved his hand.
"Let's go, my father is still waiting." He said, and after losing his hand, he walked forward with a straight step.
Not long after the king of Jin'an came back, the queen mother knew about it.
"Where to go?" She asked.
"Go shoot arrows outside the city." The chamberlain laughed.
The Queen Mother looked at the other chamberlain.
"What's the panic then?" She asked.
This chamberlain was the one who followed the second prince just now, and bowed forward when he heard the words.
"Niangniang, it seems that there was an accident." He said.
The Queen Mother looked at him.
"The slave inquired about the people who followed the king of the county, and said yes, and met a lady's carriage halfway, and, alsoβ" He whispered, a little hesitant.
The Queen Mother frowned.
"Lady?" "What else?" she said. Say it! β
The chamberlain was startled, knelt down hurriedly, and moved a few steps forward.
"Shot someone's carriage with an arrow," he whispered.
"And then?" The Queen Mother asked.
"And then, and then the king of the county ran away." The chamberlain said.
"That's it?" The Queen Mother asked.
The chamberlain recalled the news he had inquired about and nodded affirmatively.
"Who's from it?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Chen Shao, Chen Xiang's family." The chamberlain said.
The Queen Mother was thoughtful.
"Is it intentional, or is it a mistake?" She asked.
"It should be a mistake, a swallow flew in the air at that time, the king of the county didn't hit anything in the wild for half a day, he seemed to be a little anxious, the arrow hit the carriage of the Chen family, the king of the county seemed to be startled, and he ran away without even saying his apology, and also instructed the people who followed not to spread the word, especially not to let the mother know the way." The chamberlain smiled and said, "The county king, it's too naughty." β
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and then she also smiled.
"That's what he is." She said, "Well, let's not talk about it." β
The chamberlain bowed and bowed and withdrew.
"Niangniang, the king of the county is not young." The palace maid who was waiting beside her came over with tea and said in a low voice, meaning something.
The Queen Mother took the tea and did not speak.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
"I don't know which child of the Chen family it is?" She suddenly smiled and said, "Presumably, Chen Xianggong is going to be angry." β
The family of the minister was shot with an arrow in broad daylight, which showed shame.
"Check it out! Which disciple is it! β
Chen Shao threw an arrow in his hand to the ground and raised his eyebrows.
This is the wicked feathered arrow that was plucked from the wagon.
The steward hurriedly reached out and picked it up, it was an ordinary feathered arrow, but if you looked closely, you could still make out its markings.
He retreated. (To be continued......)
