Chapter 97: The Gossip of Kyoto City
Zhong Xuanlan took Wang Xuannian to the private room on the third floor, which was very quiet, and the windows were slightly open, so that he could clearly see the scene of the street below.
Zhong Xuanlan put down the teacup, glanced at the jade ornaments on the table, and said, "Do you like these?" ”
Wang Xuannian reached out and picked out an orchid hosta, and said, "Lan'er, this purple magnolia hairpin is very beautiful. As he spoke, he got up and walked to Zhong Xuanlan's side, took off the hairpin he carved, put it on the table, and put on a purple magnolia hairpin for Zhong Xuanlan.
Zhong Xuanlan took the wooden hairpin and handed it to Wang Xuannian, and said, "Take it off, I think it's very good to take it." ”
Wang Xuannian was stunned for a moment, did not take the hairpin, but held Zhong Xuanlan's face, and said: "Lan'er is going to see a businessman today, it is better to wear this one, and I will definitely carve the best hairpin for you in the future." ”
Zhong Xuanlan smiled and said, "I think this one is already the best. As he spoke, he took off the hairpin on his head and put it on in his hand. And again, "This is the best birthday gift I've ever received." ”
Wang Xuannian asked, "Didn't Lan'er receive a gift before?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan responded: "It was not a birthday before. As he spoke, he hugged Wang Xuannian into his arms, and while moving the tray containing the jade pendant in front of them, he said, "Come, little guy, you pick some you like." ”
Wang Xuannian turned his head to look at Zhong Xuanlan and said, "Lan'er, you help me choose." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, reached out to a tray with jade pendants, took a piece of jade pendant carved with "three sheep", and said, "Do you like this piece?" ”
Wang Xuannian stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant and looked at it, he couldn't tell what kind of jade it was, but he knew that this jade was excellent.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "This is mutton fat jade. He pointed to the jade pendant in the tray and introduced: "This is engraved with a bat is jade, and this is engraved with plum blossoms is Hetian jade......"
Wang Xuannian listened carefully, his eyes followed the slender jade hand, and he lost his mind for a while.
Zhong Xuanlan asked, "Can you pick your favorite?" ”
Wang Xuannian came back to his senses, looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "I just need this piece." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, and said, "Little guy, pick a piece for your father as a New Year's gift for you." ”
Wang Xuannian turned his head to look at Zhong Xuanlan, his lips inadvertently touched her face, his face turned crimson, he was stunned, and said uncomfortably: "Okay." Quickly turned his head to look at the tray, and after calming down, he began to pick up the jade pendant.
Zhong Xuanlan felt Wang Xuannian's tense body, hugged him tightly, rested his head on his shoulder, and said, "That bat jade pendant is good." ”
Wang Xuannian tilted his head, reached out to take the jade pendant, and then said, "Lan'er thinks it's good, it must be the best." I'll choose it. ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "What if I pick a piece of fake jade?" ”
Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan seriously and said, "Lan'er, I believe you won't lie to me. ”
Zhong Xuanlan was stunned in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "I'll sell you one day." ”
Wang Xuannian said: "If you sell me, Lan'er will lose money." ”
Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows, this little man became shrewd. touched his head and said, "Little husband, you have to be obedient and obedient, do you know?" ”
Wang Xuannian hurriedly nodded and said, "I will obediently listen to Lan'er's words, and I will never betray Lan'er." ”
Zhong Xuanlan was very satisfied with Wang Xuannian's answer, and said, "Let's go to dinner, and by the way, we will listen to the parents in Kyoto City." ”
As soon as Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian out of the private room, the shopkeeper came to report: "Big boss, the matter has been resolved." The Sun family paid 60,000 taels, and the fifth prince paid 40,000 taels. ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "I don't want anything like this to happen again." ”
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Yes, please rest assured, the big boss must pay attention next time, and there will never be anything like this again." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded and ordered: "Wrap up the Sanyang Kaitai and Fuqi Ankang on the table and send them to the Zhong Mansion." ”
"Yes."
Seeing this, Zhong Xuanlan left with Wang Xuannian, and walked to a restaurant in a quarter of an hour.
At noon, the hall was full of guests, ushering in and sending off, and it was full of all kinds of voices: the voice of high talk, the voice of summons, and the sound of response...... It's quite lively.
A group of men greeted him, saw that it was the owner, and said with a smile on his face: "Big boss, do you want to eat or find a shopkeeper?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Dinner, is there a vacant seat on the second floor?" ”
The guy responded, "Yes, the big boss, please come with the little one." He made a gesture of please.
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, led Wang Xuannian forward, and it didn't take long for the guy to find them a place near the window, Zhong Xuanlan nodded with satisfaction.
Zhong Xuanlan sat opposite Wang Xuannian, and she handed the menu handed to her by the guy to Wang Xuannian to order.
Wang Xuannian took the menu and ordered, but did not order wine.
Zhong Xuanlan added: "Another pot of daughter red." ”
Wang Xuannian refused: "You don't need to serve wine, that's enough, you go down first." ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian in surprise, Wang Xuannian raised his eyes and glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, and said with a serious expression: "Your injury is not good." ”
Zhong Xuanlan explained: "It's already good. ”
Wang Xuannian said in a low voice: "When I helped you with the medicine this morning, I saw that the wound on my back had just healed. ”
The guy stood there embarrassed, waiting for the results.
Wang Xuannian glanced at the guy and said, "You go down, if you bring the wine, you won't come tomorrow." ”
When the man heard this, he hurriedly retreated.
Zhong Xuanlan squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Xuannian, Wang Xuannian said nervously under her gaze: "Lan'er, wait until you are injured before drinking, I will definitely not stop you." ”
Zhong Xuanlan retracted his gaze, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "The little guy is getting more and more imposing, not bad!" ”
Wang Xuannian blinked his eyes and looked at Zhong Xuanlan, was he being praised? After thinking for a while, he asked, "Lan'er, are you praising me?" After speaking, he looked at Zhong Xuanlan expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
In an instant, Wang Xuannian gave her a dazzling smile, making her feel that this smile illuminated the gray sky, and also cast a ray of sunshine in her heart, warming her heart.
Wang Xuannian found that Zhong Xuanlan was looking at him distractedly, a little uncomfortable, and said, "Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan came back to his senses and said, "My husband is so handsome! ”
When Wang Xuannian heard this, his face was hot, and it was hot to his ears, he reached out to cover his face, rubbed it, and rubbed his ears again.
Zhong Xuanlan smiled slightly and looked elsewhere.
Wang Xuannian saw Zhong Xuanlan retract his gaze, and then slowly eased up. Yu Guang glanced at Zhong Xuanlan and looked at the table not far away, where he was talking loudly, and there were four people sitting around the table.
A fat man said, "Have you heard?" Today, the emperor was angry and almost wanted to abolish the crown prince. ”
A martial artist said loudly in surprise: "Huh? And what's going on? ”
The fat man said: "It's not that there is an iron mine in Qingyun County, I heard that the four princes took the initiative to admit their mistakes early this morning, and sent the spies and some accounts in the palace to the emperor, thus dragging out the prince The mastermind behind the scenes." ”
A scholar said: "If you want me to say, the one who benefited the most this time is the five princes, I heard that now Concubine Liu Xian is in charge of the harem, and the Liu family is about to soar." ”
“……”
Wang Xuannian frowned and said in a low voice, "Lan'er, will this matter affect the Zhong family?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "No." ”
