374 The old woman of the tea house
After Rong Lan finished speaking, he glanced at Rong Xun with a smile, and saw that his face was instantly pale, and he no longer had the previous composure, so he laughed and strode away from the bell tower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Idiot!"
Rong Xun looked at Rong Lan's back, clenched his fists in anger, and kicked the wooden fence in front of him, and the wooden fence instantly rattled.
After Rong Lan strode away from the bell tower, the smile on his face gradually retracted.
Although he didn't see the situation on the bell tower after he left, he could also imagine how violent Rong Xun was at this time, although Rong Xun asked him and Rong Zhi out today although he was selfish, but he was afraid of Rong Jing's rise It should be true, and it should be true that he wanted to unite the two of them to deal with Rong Jing, but he just didn't want to! As he said on the bell tower just now, he and Rong Xun were doomed to either you or me from the time when they did everything they could for that position.
The bustle under the bell tower is still lively, Rong Lan has been looking in the crowd for a long time, but he has not seen the white figure, he secretly shook his head and turned his head to leave, and when he got out of the market, Rong Lan did not take the car, nor did he go back to Xuanwang's Mansion, he just found a seemingly quiet alley and walked in, and walked around the capital aimlessly.
There are so many things that have happened these days that he is a little caught off guard, and at this time he just wants to find a place to be quiet.
The surroundings are getting more and more remote, and the house in front of him has become short and dilapidated from rich and noble, Rong Lan unconsciously walked to a tea house, looking at the tea house is deserted and there is no one around, Rong Lan shook his head and was about to return, but he didn't want to look up and see two women, one white and one red, sitting in the tea house.
He looked stunned, perhaps not even noticing, the surprise that flashed in his eyes.
Xue Rou sat in the tea house, Qin Xi stood aside and poured tea for her, when she heard the sound, she looked up and saw Rong Lan not far away, Qin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered to Xue Rou: "Girl, it's King Xuan." ”
Xue Rou looked up in a little surprise and saw Rong Lan walking towards this side.
"Why did His Royal Highness King Xuan come here?" Xue Rou was only surprised for a moment before laughing lightly.
Rong Lan shook his head lightly: "I don't know how, I'm just upset and walked inside, I didn't expect to see Miss Xue here." ”
Xue Rou chuckled when she heard this, although she didn't know what Rong Lan was messing about, but if she thought about it, she could guess that it was not related to the prince and his situation in recent days, she didn't go to Rong Lan's words, she just reached out and poured a cup of tea and put it on the opposite table and said with a gentle smile: "Since the prince is here, meeting is fate, the tea here is good, the prince might as well sit down and taste it." ”
Rong Lan sat opposite Xue Rou with his clothes on the side, without any dislike for the simplicity here, he casually picked up the cup of tea and sniffed it lightly for a moment, and said with a casual smile: "The taste is fragrant but not greasy, the color is tender and green but not turbid, it is indeed a good tea." ”
How could Xue Rou not know that he was just talking casually, just smiled faintly and looked at him without speaking.
Rong Lan frowned slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but take a sip of the cup, when the tea was inhaled, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, he originally thought that Xue Rou said that this tea was good but just a pretext, and what he said just now was just echoing, but he didn't want this tea to have a quiet aroma after the entrance, astringent but not sluggish, and when the aftertaste was sweet, it was actually better than the tea he used before, he couldn't help but look at Xue Rou with a little surprise: "This tea ......"
"This tea is this year's red-top new tea, the water for boiling tea is the bamboo leaf dew collected in the morning, and the charcoal for cooking tea is pine branch charcoal.
Before Rong Lan's words fell, an old-looking woman came out of the tea house, her hair was like silver threads gathered into a bun, with a carved wooden hairpin inserted on it, she was wearing an extremely ordinary navy blue cloth skirt, the skin on her face and hands was wrinkled, she looked sixty or seventy years old, she didn't know if she knew or didn't see Rong Lan's brocade dress that represented the identity of the prince, she just looked at the teapot on the table with a distressed look on her face, stared at Xue Rou and complained: "You muddy girl, this tea is only for you to drink, Why did you bring a mess of people over to covet my wife's tea, ouch, my wife's good tea! ”
Rong Lan suddenly looked embarrassed, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of treatment, and he was regarded by an old woman as a messy person who ate and drank, he hurriedly coughed twice and said, "This mother-in-law, this is ...... I'll give you tea money, don't drink your tea for nothing......"
"Who wants your stinky money, you think the old woman's tea can be bought for two stinky money?!" The old woman glared angrily.
Rong Lan was suddenly embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xue Rou smiled at Rong Lan a few times, until his face turned a little red, and then he spoke: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I know that mother-in-law loves tea, so I prepared some clouds and snow buds for my mother-in-law when I came, and Qin Xi ......."
Qin Xi hurriedly took out a delicate small purple box from her sleeve and handed it to the old woman, and chuckled with her eyebrows and eyes curled: "Mother-in-law, this is a rare cloud and snow bud in the palace, our girl knows that you like it, so she didn't want to drink it after you got it, so I sent it to you with a bare eye, and I should pay for today's tea, mother-in-law, don't be angry, it's easy to get old when you're angry~"
The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard the clouds and snow buds, and she quickly took the box and opened it and sniffed it twice, and was immediately overjoyed, she hurriedly covered the box and hid it in her clothes as if it were a thief, and then looked at Xue Rou and said: "Count you as a sensible girl, you didn't waste the old woman's tea in vain, and the old woman will accept this cloud and mist tea, it's almost noon, you two girls will stay here to eat at noon." ”
"Then thank you, mother-in-law." Xue Rou said with a smile.
The old woman smiled happily when she got the tea, and when she saw the embarrassed Rong Lan on the side, she frowned, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, for the sake of Xue Yatou's tea, you kid can also keep it for dinner, Qin Xi girl, go, go to the back to help the old woman cook." ”
After the old woman finished speaking, she opened the curtain and entered the private house behind the tea house, and Qin Xi said hello to Xue Rou and hurriedly followed.
After the two left, Rong Lan touched his nose with embarrassment, although he looked young, he was actually over thirty years old, and he already had children at home, not to mention when he was young, since beating him and crowning, the title "boy" has rarely been used anymore, and after he was crowned, no one dared to call him that way, even if he was close to him, but he didn't expect to be called like this by a civilian woman today.
He didn't have any annoyance, after all, the woman didn't know his identity, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a kid at her age of sixty or seventy, he was just curious, this woman didn't seem to be anything special, Xue Rou had only been in Beijing for a short time, how could she be so familiar with her?
