Chapter 25: The Fan
"It's too early, isn't it time for dinner? Come, look at the frame made of glass you asked Cheng Gongzi to send, I have already framed the abbot's words in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info With this glass, I am not afraid that this pair of words will be broken. Xu Lan pointed to the words.
Lin Rusong looked at the words when he heard it: "Xu Song, don't say it, you are quite capable, I will go back and tell my grandmother about you." My grandmother wasn't convinced. And you must be a very intelligent person. In fact, my grandmother also said that Hui Ji was not long-lived, but Lin Rusong didn't say it, and he also knew that Xu Lan's health was really bad in her early years.
Xu Lan said modestly: "It's just luck, luck." ”
Lin Rusong walked around the store, and he was not interested in anything.
"Xu Song, what's the point of you staying in the shop of these women's things all day? Isn't it boring every day? ”
"No, business is still quite busy, and it's not so empty, and that's how we ordinary people live. It's also a lot of fun to do business. ”
Lin Rusong felt as if he had said something wrong, so he smiled and said, "I have to play every day, and I have no interest in doing business." ”
Xu Lan didn't care and asked him, "Do you have a sister at home?" ”
Lin Rusong didn't know what she meant, but he also honestly went home and said, "There are six brothers in the family and three younger sisters. I'm number three. ”
Xu Lan listened and said: "The goods in my store are all ordinary goods, and your sisters must not look down on them, but there are a few square handkerchiefs embroidered chicly." ”
Xu Lan took out the Feng's embroidered handkerchief and showed it to Lin Rusong.
Lin Rusong took it in his hand and looked at it and said: "Well, it's really good, although it's worse than the fan in my mother's hand, but it's not worse than the embroidery girl at home." ”
Xu Lan said: "This embroidered handkerchief is specially customized, you can't buy it elsewhere, I just have these three leftovers in this batch, if Brother Lin doesn't dislike it, I will accept it and take it to your sisters to play." It's also my thanksgiving. ”
Lin Rusong heard Xu Lan say this: "Hey, my sisters are all in Jinling, I don't know when I will go to Jinling, this embroidered cloth is still forgotten, just accompany me to have a good time in Huaiyang County these days." ”
Xu Lan listened to it and didn't force it.
"The fan embroidery you just said is so good?"
"Hey, you don't know, this is made by a famous fan master in Jinling, and he will make so many when he is a year old, and the fan surface is also embroidered by himself, and he may not be able to buy it if he has money. My mother also cherished it very much. It's usually easy not to take it out and use it. ”
"Oh, do you use this fan for your sisters too?"
"Naturally, each person has several handfuls, and sometimes they hold one in winter, hey, I really don't understand what these women think."
"Hey, you keep asking what this fan is for, a big man." Lin Rusong looked at Xu Song curiously.
"Oh, I see, do you have a crush on a girl and want to give someone a fan?"
Xu Lan gave him a roll of his eyes, he was only eleven years old, was he so precocious?
"I want to buy two for my two younger sisters, I haven't paid attention to this thing before, isn't it new to hear from you." Xu Lan casually lied. "One day I'll go to the county town and take a good look at this thing."
"What good things do you have in this county, I'll let someone bring you two handfuls from Jinling." Lin Rusong said in a contemptuous tone. "That's it." As if afraid that Xu Lan would not agree, she added another sentence.
Xu Lan listened to him and gave him a beaten: "I want to give you a few squares of handkerchief, but you don't accept it, am I embarrassed to accept your fan?"
Lin Rusong saw that he had two blank eyes, scratched his head and said, "Then I'll collect it for my sisters and bring the handkerchief." ”
Xu Lan handed it to him, and Lin Rusong handed it to Qingzhu for him to keep.
Qingzhu looked at Lin Rusong's appearance, how could he feel that the young master was a little stupid.
He's very shrewd when he's at home.
At one time, a woman came in to see that although Lin Rusong was only fourteen years old and had not yet tied his hair, he was tall and tall. And the extravagance of dressing up makes people feel a little oppressive.
"Brother Lin, you see that I don't have a place to sit here, why don't we meet at Qingfeng Tower at the end of the night?" Xu Lan suggested.
Lin Rusong saw that she had business here, and it was indeed inconvenient, so he said in his somewhat voice-changing voice: "Okay, then let's meet in Qingfeng Building." I'll go to Cheng Ning's house first. ”
Not to mention the rest, when it came to Shen, Xu Lan quit Sister Chen's house first.
After returning home, Xu Lan first went to the Wang family's house to say goodbye, and then said that she invited the third son of Marquis Lin's family and the second son of Cheng Ge's hometown to dinner.
The Wang family was startled when they heard this, obviously not expecting how Xu Lan would recognize the sons of these two families.
Xu Lan said that she met when she was in Tsinghua Temple, but she only said that she met by coincidence, and she didn't know that he was Lin Rusong at that time. There was no mention of a fight with him. only said that the abbot introduced him later, and only then did he know that it was the son of General Lin's family. Unexpectedly, he chatted with Lin Rusong very well, and said that the bird was sent by Lin Rusong.
He also said that the glass in the store was found by Lin Rusong. I didn't know Cheng Ergongzi before, but Lin Rusong was familiar with him, and Lin Rusong came over to play with Cheng Ergongzi, so he invited them together.
"I wanted Brother Xuan to go to dinner with me, and he also knew that I had an older brother, so he said that everyone was friends, let us eat together. I have a companion, you see, mother, is that okay? ”
The Wang family naturally agreed, such a family background usually can't be climbed if they want to.
called Brother Xuan in, Xu Lan said that he would take him to dinner with his friends, Wang saw that she was casual, and told him carefully when he was not at ease, and asked the two to change the new clothes made for the New Year. He called Junko to go with them.
Xu Lan arrived at the door and saw that Brother Xuan was a little nervous by Wang's words, so she said: "Brother, this third son of the Lin family, called Lin Rusong, and I can talk quite well, I can be regarded as a good friend, but this second son of the Cheng family, Cheng Ning, is not very familiar." Let's just think it's a good meal. They act like we do. And we haven't even tied our hair to adulthood, so we don't have so many rules. ”
Brother Xuan nodded and relaxed a lot.
When the three of them went out, they didn't know where Qingfeng Tower was? I asked for directions before rushing to the car.
Before the end of Shen Shi, Xu Lan and Brother Xuan arrived at Qingfeng Building.
The two went to see it first, it was a mid-range restaurant, and the decoration was more elegant. It's not punctual yet, and there aren't many people. Xu Lan booked a private room on the second floor and another table downstairs.
Xu Lan and Brother Xuan went to the door again to wait.
After a while, Lin Rusong, Cheng Ning, and Cheng Sangongzi came over from a distance.
At the door, I saluted and introduced it.
Brother Xuan beckoned them to the private room on the second floor.
Xu Lan asked Shunzi to take Qingzhu and Chengfu's entourage to dine downstairs, and let Shunzi bother to entertain her.
Xu Lan asked Xiao Er to take the menu to Lin Rusong and Cheng Ning.
Lin Rusong said: "I don't know what you eat, I'll order two dishes I like first." Order the rest. ”
Lin Rusong ordered two dishes, it seems that he likes to eat meat. Cheng Ning also ordered, it was two vegetarians.
Xu Lan handed the recipe to Cheng Min again, and Cheng Min did not politely order two dishes.
Xu Lan asked Brother Xuan to order it again, and Brother Xuan also ordered two.
Xu Lan saw that there were already eight dishes, and in line with the principle of not wasting it, she only ordered one soup and handed the menu to the shopkeeper.
Lin Rusong saw that he didn't mean to drink, so he said, "Hey... Ay.. Haven't you ordered this wine yet, you only have food and no wine? “
Xu Lan asked the shopkeeper what kind of wine was better.
The shopkeeper reported a carved flower and green bamboo wine.
Lin Rusong said: "No, no, no, these two are drunk by children, and they don't taste at all." Bring me a bottle of jade liquor for aging. ”
The shopkeeper sang a promise and went down to prepare.
