Chapter 226: Return to Beijing (II)

Lu Wanwan followed his memory, and it really took a while to find the familiar alley at the beginning, and after winding around for a while, he found the small courtyard he had been to.

Liuyun stood at Lu Wanwan, looked up at the small courtyard, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, your friend lives here?" ”

Lu Wanwan came to Zhen'er once, this yard was bought by Zhang Mo after he won the Jinshi, although it is not big, but in the boundary of your capital, buying such a yard will cost three or four times the price elsewhere, Zhang Mo is just a Jinshi, and it is very good to be able to afford such a yard.

Lu Wanwan tentatively knocked on the door, and after a while, another fifty or sixty-year-old woman came to open the door, she looked at Lu Wanwan and Liuyun, and asked with a very vigilant expression: "Who are you and which one are you looking for?" ”

Lu Wanwan smiled politely and asked, "May I ask if there is a Zhang Mo Zhang Gongzi living here?" I was a friend of his, and I came to visit him. ”

"You mean Master Zhang." The woman's face was slightly better, "Master Zhang doesn't live here for a long time, he has been promoted, and he has already moved to Xihe Hutong, you can go there and find it." ”

Lu Wanwan was stunned, she didn't expect that after only three years, Zhang Mo would be promoted, this official luck is really good, she also knows Xihe Hutong, it is a place where dignitaries gather, and the status of the people who live there is not low. Lu Wanwan was happy for him in her heart, so she continued to ask: "I don't know if this lady can tell Master Zhang's specific address." ”

The mother-in-law saw that Lu Wanwan was born well, and she was gentle and polite, thinking that he would not be a bad person, so she told her the address of Zhang Mo's new home.

Lu Wanwan took the new address, turned around and said to Liuyun: "Okay, I'm afraid we'll have to look for it again." ”

Liuyun Fang also heard the mother-in-law's words, and said in surprise: "Sir, your friend is a big official in the capital?" ”

Lu Wanwan only smiled and replied: "When I first met him, he was not a big official, but now these years have passed, with his qualifications." It's normal to be promoted. ”

Liuyun listened to Lu Wanwan's words, and her heart was even more confused, and she became more and more imaginative about Lu Wanwan's original identity, and she had been with Lu Wanwan for so long. Since she knew her extraordinary, she also had a guess in her heart in the past, Lu Wanwan may be a young lady from a big family, and she must have suffered a disaster to fall to Qicheng, and now she looks so familiar with the capital. She must have lived in the capital before, so maybe she guessed correctly.

Lu Wanwan didn't know that Liuyun was thinking nonsense behind her, she took the address and asked several passers-by, and finally found Xihe Hutong, she didn't return to the capital for so many years, she didn't know the way.

Lu Wanwan finally found Zhang's mansion after tossing and turning, standing in front of the three houses, Liuyun was a little worried, Lu Wanwan was still indifferent, and asked Liuyun to stand in place and wait for her. He went up and knocked on the back door.

It was a young guy who came to open the door, and when he saw Lu Wanwan outside the door, he asked in a kind tone: "Who is this son looking for?" ”

"May I ask if this is Zhang Mo Zhang's family?" Lu Wanwan asked with a smile.

The little guy nodded, and then asked: "Childe is looking for our family, our lord is not in the house now, or you leave your prayer note first, and when the adult comes back, the villain will definitely be handed over to him." ”

When Lu Wanwan heard this, he fell silent, and said with a sad face: "I just came from out of town, and I came over as soon as I got off the boat." I don't have time to prepare for the post, I don't know if this little brother can be accommodating. ”

"Well...... the little guy looked down and thought for a moment before he said again, "then sir, leave your name and address." When the master comes back, the villain will definitely help you tell you. ”

"My surname is Wan, my single name is one night, and now I live in the Liufu Inn, so I will ask the little brother to inform your family." Lu Wanwan hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a please.

"Childe, don't worry. I'll be sure to let me know when my adults come back. The little guy assured with a smile.

Lu Wanwan thanked him again before turning around and leaving.

Liuyun saw that Lu Wanwan was talking to the little guy in the door for a while, so he turned around, and immediately stepped forward nervously and asked, "Sir, how is it, is your friend willing to see you?" ”

"He's not in the house now, I've left my name and address, and when he gets home, I'll contact us." Lu Wanwan said to Liuyun like this.

Liuyun was still worried, frowned and said, "Sir, your friend is now a big official, will he still treat you like before, I'm afraid ......"

Although Lu Wanwan thinks that she understands Zhang Mo's character quite well, she is not the kind of person who does not miss the old love, but her friendship with him is not as strong as that of Zhen'er's sister after all, and she thought that she came to visit him first because he was an official anyway, and it should be easier to find, she planned to wait until she saw him, and then ask him about Zhen'er's current situation, but now that she couldn't find him, she decided to go to Zhen'er first.

Lu Wanwan remembered that Zhen'er's husband seemed to be a carpenter named Liu An, and later opened a furniture shop by himself, and now that the past few years have passed, the furniture shop should be quite big, after all, Zhen'er has a brother who is an official.

"Sir, where are we going next? Are you going back to the inn? Liuyun hugged Xiao Ping'an, who was already sleepy, and asked dejectedly.

"No, I'll take you for a walk and eat something by the way." Lu Wanwan smiled at Zhen'er and said.

Liuyun didn't understand how Lu Wanwan still had the leisure to go shopping, but when she first came to the capital, she was also very curious, so she still followed Lu Wanwan with great interest.

Lu Wanwan took Liuyun to the East Market, where she used to go, it was still very prosperous and lively, the streets were lined with shops for two years, and the guys inside were soliciting business outside, and the vendors who did small business were also standing on both sides of the street shouting loudly, attracting many pedestrians to stop.

Liuyun had never seen such a big and lively market in Qicheng, her eyes widened, she felt that everything was beautiful and novel, and she really wanted to open more eyes.

And Lu Wanwan's face is mostly a look of remembrance, many things on the street are familiar to her, and this farewell does not seem to have changed much over the years.

Lu Wanwan walked and walked, and then stopped in front of a wonton stall, she looked at the boss who made wontons, smiled silently, and then said to Liuyun behind her: "Let's eat something here." ”

Liuyun was already hungry, so he would not have any objections. Holding Xiao Ping'an and sitting down, Lu Wan ordered two bowls of shrimp wontons late, and before the wontons came up, she went to the small stall on the side to buy two lantern cakes. Hand one of them to Liuyun, "Let's eat this while it's hot first." ”

Liuyun took the lantern cake and looked at it very curiously before asking, "What kind of food is this?" ”

"It's called lantern cake, and it's a snack in the south. It is rich in fillings, with meat and eggs, and the price is not expensive, it is a very popular snack in the capital. Lu Wanwan explained to Liuyun slowly, having already taken a bite of the lantern cake in his hand, it was still the taste in his memory.

Liuyun nodded, and couldn't wait to take a bite, but he almost burned it because he was in too much of a hurry, so he just kept fanning his mouth with his hand. The appearance is very wolf.

"Eat slowly, and no one will rob you." Lu Wanwan said funny.

While the two were talking, the wontons were served up with a good machine, Lu Wanwan ate this wonton soup in three or two bites, and then hugged Xiao Ping'an from Liuyun's hand, fed him some wonton soup to drink, Xiao Ping'an can now eat some supplementary food, in the past, when he was in Yunshui Township, Liuyun would often steam an egg custard, or cook a porridge of minced meat for Xiao Ping'an to eat. It's just that they are busy on the road this month, and they don't have time to prepare these for him, just give him breast milk, but they have wronged him.

The three of them were well fed and drunk. After paying the money, it was time to start getting down to business, Lu Wanwan walked around the East Market, asked some people, and finally found a Liu Ji furniture store.

This shop is quite large, and it is the first of its kind among the shops that sell furniture in the East Market. When Lu Wanwan walked into the store, a guy immediately stepped forward to greet him, and his attitude was very enthusiastic.

"This guest officer, what furniture do you want to buy, our Liu Ji furniture is also one of the best in this capital, do you want to introduce it to you."

Lu Wanwan looked at him, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is your host's name Liu An?" ”

The guy's eyes changed when he looked at Lu Wanwan, his expression became much more cautious, and he asked tentatively, "Does this guest officer know our host?" ”

"Before your owner made his fortune, I knew him, but I don't know where he lives now?" Lu Wanwan continued to ask.

The guy looked at Lu Wan for a while, and still said very cautiously: "The villain will take you to see our shopkeeper." ”

Lu Wanwan thought that he shouldn't be able to be the master, so he nodded and followed him inside.

The guy asked Lu Wan to sit for a while, and then went to find the shopkeeper, and the two waited for a while, and a middle-aged man came over.

The shopkeeper secretly glanced at Lu Wanwan and the two of them a few times, and then hugged his fists and saluted and said, "It's the two of you who want to find our host, right?" ”

Lu Wanwan stood up and returned a salute to the shopkeeper, "I really have an urgent matter with your owner, so please ask the shopkeeper to help." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, today is the day of our owner's store tour, as long as you wait here, you can see our owner."

"That's great, trouble shopkeeper." Lu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,

The shopkeeper said a few more polite words, and then left, Liuyun looked at the back of the shopkeeper, and said to Lu Wanwan in a low voice: "Sir, the shopkeeper didn't give us a specific time, when are we going to wait?" ”

"Now it's us asking for help, so naturally we have to wait for as long as we want." Lu Wan was still very calm, and said after taking a sip of tea.

Liuyun could only sigh helplessly, thinking to himself, this is the capital everywhere, this imperial city is different, whether it is an official or a businessman, the faction is bigger than other places, and it is so difficult to even meet each other.

The two waited for an hour, and finally waited for Liu An, who was brought over by the shopkeeper, but the two of them were stunned when they saw Lu Wanwan, and their expressions were slightly confused, obviously thinking about when they met these two people.

"In the next 10,000 nights, I saw Liu Dongjia." Lu Wanwan was the first to stand up and salute Liu An.

"This son...... Do we know each other? Liu An looked at Lu Wan for a while, and asked with a puzzled face. Although he had seen Lu Wanwan before, Lu Wanwan was only fourteen years old at that time, and his appearance was already very different from now, and now Lu Wanwan was disguised as a man, so he couldn't recognize it.

"Liu Dongjia, I don't know if I can take a step to speak." Lu Wanwan naturally guessed that Liu An couldn't recognize her, so she said so.

Liu An hesitated, nodded and walked to Lu Wanwan's side.

"Brother-in-law, don't you recognize me? I'm Wanwan. Lu Wanwan whispered in Liu An's ear.

As soon as Liu An heard the title of Lu Wanwan, his eyes suddenly widened a lot, and he looked at Lu Wanwan carefully for a while, and then he said in surprise: "Wanwan, are you Wanwan?" How could it be, you're not ......"

"It's a long story, I'll explain it to you slowly later, brother-in-law." Lu Wanwan interrupted Liu An's words and said hurriedly.

Liu An stared at Lu Wanwan's face for a while, making sure that it was somewhat similar to the little girl in his memory, and then nodded emphatically and said: "Yes, let's talk about these things later, I will take you back to see Zhen'er first, if she knows that you are back, she should be crazy with joy." After that, he didn't patrol any stores, took Lu Wanwan and Liuyun and got into the carriage outside, and went straight to home.

galloping all the way to the destination, Lu Wan was slightly shocked after getting off the car, Liu An's yard is bigger than Zhang Mo's yard, just look at the door outside, at least it is a big courtyard with four entrances, I didn't expect Liu An's business to be so big, it seems that Zhen'er is really happy.

Lu Wanwan followed Liu An into the courtyard, walked through the front yard, and went straight to the backyard.

Liu An entered the main courtyard of the house, and after entering the room, the people in the house had heard the movement and greeted him.

"Master, why did you come back so early today, didn't you say that you would come back later if you were going to visit the store?" The woman who spoke was fair-skinned, slightly blessed, warm eyebrows and eyes, although not very beautiful but had a charm, she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a long jacket with a lake-colored plum orchid bamboo dark pattern collar, combing a concentric bun, pinning a little begonia silk flower to the bun, and wearing a pendant earring on her ears, her body was very plain, not like a rich lady at all.

"Lady, look who's back!" Liu An hurriedly spoke, turned sideways, and let Lu Wanwan out of the back.

Lu Wanwan recognized at a glance that the woman in front of her was the original Zhen'er, although she has changed a lot, but the outline of her eyebrows and eyes has not changed, which makes people look very comfortable and amiable.

"Sister Zhen'er, I'm back." (To be continued.) )
