Chapter 38: Fun

Li Ting shook her head and sighed again and again, poked Lu Ran's forehead funny, and said with some envy in her tone: "I actually looked away from the previous child, your temperament really makes people don't know what to say." Hey, your eldest brother is so good to you......"

"That's it!" Lu Ran nodded with a smile in response, his eyes were shining, his face was radiant, and he pulled Li Ting with great interest to muttering and complaining about Lu Yu.

Li Ting saw that Lu Ran was talking energetically, and it was difficult to interrupt, and she was also a little curious in her heart, and listened to Lu Ran's chatter with a blush on her cheeks, and occasionally interjected a few words in surprise and funny.

The two chattered until the end of the unitary hour, when the sky darkened, and lanterns hung up on the facades of the shops on the street. The lantern in front of the load swayed, and the blurry candlelight shone through the bright lantern paper, shining on the clothes of the hawker and revealing a layer of colorful halo.

Lu Ran heard the shouting outside the window, only then came back to his senses, held the teacup and drank several sips of tea, then he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and hurriedly got up and waved his hand to command Hongrui to let people go down to buy some food. Seeing that Hongrui agreed to retreat, Lu Ran explained to Li Ting, who looked surprised and surprised, with bright eyes in the corners: "At this time, the Zhuang family has already harvested the autumn grain, and it happens to be a farming slack, and many people come out to sell groceries to eat, which is more novel than the one in the restaurant, and my sister will know it after a while." ”

When the middle-aged grandmother who came with Li Ting heard this, her brows were unconsciously suppressed, and the afterglow fell on Lu Ran, the corners of her mouth glanced down again, and then she moved her gaze to Li Ting, covered her mouth and coughed heavily.

Li Ting, who was originally smiling and full of curiosity, heard this cough, the smile on her face suddenly froze, a trace of embarrassment flashed between her eyebrows, and she quickly glanced at Lu Ran, seeing that the latter smiled and instructed the girl to let the people in the building serve wine and food, and seemed to be unaware of the cough of your grandmother, Li Tingfang breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Yinyue pursed her lips in her heart, and didn't look at your grandmother, she only smiled and ordered the girl in Qingfeng Building to serve the food, and after a while, she turned back to the house and curtled at Lu Ran and smiled: "The girl in the building said that the shopkeeper Yue was still asking just now, there is a new chrysanthemum wine brewed this year in Qingfeng Building, and there are also several good wines from the previous children's literary meeting, I don't know what the girl drinks." ”

"Where can we get those?" Lu Ran waved his hand funny, with three points of joke and seven points of laughter in his tone, "I think the shopkeeper Yue is also old and confused." Let them exchange two jars of fruit wine for them! Look closely, you have to take their own brew in the building, but don't take some rough wine from outside to fill up! After speaking, he smiled and turned his head to Li Ting and explained, "The wine at the Wenhui is strong and strong, and it is very choking to drink, but if the wine is sweet and refreshing, it is not so intoxicating." Qingfeng Lou's fruit wine is notoriously good, and the water they use to make wine is the well water from the ancient well in the building, and it is sweeter than the wine from other places. Let's have fun drinking and watching the lights today! ”

Yinyue listened and laughed, turned her head and asked the little girl in the building to explain Lu Ran's words carefully, and after a while, she came in with Hongrui, who was carrying a food box, and replied, neatly put the food she had just bought downstairs, and changed a cup of hot tea for Lu Ran and Li Ting, and then retreated to the side and waited.

Gui Mama listened to Lu Ran's words coldly, her brows furrowed even more, and she looked at the little girl in the building who really put the wine on the table, a trace of displeasure flashed between her eyebrows, and she glanced at Li Ting disapprovingly.

Li Ting pursed her lips, the smile in her eyes sank most of the time, and she snorted impatiently. Yu Guang looked at Lu Ran, who greeted him with great interest and enthusiasm sincerely, Li Ting sighed softly in her heart, and didn't care about the eyes of your grandmother, smiled and pointed to the dishes on the table and asked them one by one, tasted all kinds of dishes, took a sip of wine, and gradually brightened up in her eyes, her eyes fell on the street outside the window, and while eating wine, she tasted the lanterns on the street with Lu Ran with great interest.

On the back corner of Qingfeng Building, Song Mingshan looked at Lu Ran who was talking and laughing in the opposite building unexpectedly and pleasantly, the fan in his hand waved in the air and paused, and then snapped back into his palm, stomped his feet and turned around in place for half a circle, squinting his eyes and slowly breathing a sigh of relief, his eyebrows raised high and slowly fell, and then he paused suddenly, and called the little guy waiting outside to ask the shopkeeper Yue.

After a while, the shopkeeper Yue entered the house with a smile, and politely and respectfully bowed his hand to Song Mingshan, who expected that his hand was slapped down by Song Mingshan before he was halfway up. "You hurry up, send someone to invite the prince over."

Shopkeeper Yue bowed and was stunned, and made a gesture to Song Mingshan with a smile: "It's not that Mr. Lord's temper doesn't know, where does the little one dare to invite the master for no reason?" Isn't this looking for scolding? The little one wants to live a few more years......"

"You just said that I invited the master to drink-" In the middle of the sentence, Song Mingshan suddenly stopped his voice, pinched the fan and glanced at the opposite side, with excitement and a smile hidden in his eyes, coughed, and turned his mouth with a calm expression and ordered, "Forget it, you just let people mention it to the master, saying that the second girl of the Lu family invited someone to drink and watch the lights in the building." ”

Where is this? Shopkeeper Yue took a breath, looked at Song Mingshan in embarrassment, and when the words of refusal came to his lips, he was blocked by Song Mingshan's serious face, wrinkling his brows and tangled for a moment, so he had to nod his head - how can I mention this? It's better to tell the master directly!

At that time, the street opposite Qingfeng Building is already full of traffic, people come and go, lively and extraordinary, the street lights and shadows float, the candlelight is blurred, from time to time there are three or two children carrying lanterns all the way to laugh and rush by, adding a point of warmth and liveliness.

Lu Ran laughed with Li Ting, and unconsciously drank most of the jar of fruit wine. Lu Ran's face was faintly flushed, and he glanced at the noble grandmother whose face was so heavy that he couldn't sink anymore, retracted his gaze, shook the cup in his hand, and smiled at Li Ting with his forehead: "I'm so happy to talk to my sister today, I have drunk so much unconsciously." My head is starting to get dizzy, but I can't drink anymore. ”

Li Ting's face was still clear, obviously the amount of wine was excellent, looking at Lu Ran, who had bright eyes and a delicate face, and then glanced at the noble grandmother with a calm face on the side, was silent for a moment, smiled and nodded in response: "I can't drink anymore." Let's just look at the lights and talk for a while. ”

Hearing this, Mama Gui breathed a sigh of relief, her face finally eased a little, she lowered her hand and was silent for a moment, and when she saw Li Ting and Lu Ran talking excitedly again, she hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to remind: "Girl, it's too early to be too old now...... The wife instructed the girl to go back earlier. Seeing that Li Ting's face was unhappy, Gui Mama hurriedly persuaded again, "It's all in Huai'an County after all, if the girl and Miss Lu have anything to say, they will make an appointment another day, and it won't be a moment and a half." Besides, Miss Lu used some wine and went back late, but I was afraid that her family would be worried. ”
