Chapter 112: Caution is Better

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qiuqiu was woken up by a loud noise, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, and found that everyone else was still asleep. After listening to it for a while, it turned out to be a corridor, and from time to time there was a very heavy footsteps, as if many people were coming and going, carrying heavy tables and chairs. Listening to the sound, it was like moving to the guest house next door.

On the third floor of the whole floor, there are a total of seven rooms, starting from the first room on the side of the stairs, according to the poem written by the shopkeeper "Bailu Hanyi Fourteen Prefectures" seven characters, respectively named "Baiyun Pavilion", "Chunlu Pavilion", "Hanshan Pavilion", "Yiyi Pavilion", "Ten Mile Pavilion", "Four Seasons Pavilion" and "Wanzhou Pavilion". Zhang Yunhua and other male guests live in the "Hanshan Pavilion" in front, Qiuqiu and others live in the penultimate "Four Seasons Pavilion", and the sound next door is the "Wanzhou Pavilion" at the end of the corridor.

"Probably to decorate the room," Qiuqiu thought, she wrapped her gown and lay down on the pillow gently, ready to continue sleeping for a while. Just about to close her eyes, she suddenly saw Tong Ning'er sit up suddenly, and said angrily: "What, wake people up early in the morning." With that, he jumped out of bed, climbed into his shoes and walked to the foyer, where he opened the door wide.

After she said this, Su Mengtang and Ou Jinshu also woke up and sat up together. Qiuqiu leaned in Su Mengtang's arms, and heard Tong Ning'er standing at the door and said, "Laojia, what are you doing here?!" "A few strong men carrying things outside, but they didn't expect a cute and arrogant little girl to suddenly come out of the Four Seasons Pavilion, and they all stopped in place and looked behind.

Xiao Er, who was holding the guzheng in the back, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and explained: "It affected a few guest officers to rest, it turned out that the Wanzhou Pavilion next to it was going to come to a few distinguished guests today, and our shopkeeper asked us to change the lacquer and gold to put on these large furnishings, so it had to be arranged early in the morning." The girl was angry, and at noon I sent two pots of pre-rain tea to the girl's room, which was regarded as reparation. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the Hanshan Pavilion behind him also opened the door, and Xiang Kang came out with sleepy eyes and reconciled: "Then clean up quickly, don't disturb our rest." Xiao Er responded while leading these workers to move the furniture into the Wanzhou Pavilion that had just been vacated. For a while, only Tong Ning'er and Xiang Kang were left in the corridor.

"Brother Xiang Kang, what time do we leave?" Ning'er asked with a yawn. "Whatever, he's too sleepy, let's sleep for a while, Yunhua and they haven't woken up yet." Xiang Kang's eyes were ready to close. "Alright, you can call us when we go." "Done." Xiang Kang nodded. Ning'er yawned again, retreated to the room, and closed the door.

Su Mengtang and Ou Jinshu hurriedly beckoned Tong Ning'er to come up, so as not to catch a cold. Several people turned their quilts sideways, squeezed together and fell asleep comfortably. As for Ximen March next to him, he slept heavily and never woke up.

When Qiuqiu opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright, and everyone got up to dress and fold the quilt. Qiuqiu has always disliked being waited for, so she got up and cleaned herself up, and her hair was too late to braid her hair, so she scratched it a few times and pulled it into the shape of a ball on the top of her head.

Ximen March was squatting on the edge of the basin, holding a handful of water and splashing it on his face, seeing Qiuqiu coming, Ximen March moved his body to the side in a friendly way. Qiuqiu also washed her face with water, and heard Ou Jinshu say: "There are still two pears in the box, I went to listen to the play today, I want to steam Meng Yi with a bowl of pear soup and bring it to moisten her throat." ”

Tong Ning'er was looking at the mirror to draw her lips, and when she heard this, she glanced back and said, "Just let the chef in Wanghailou below make a bowl, what are you doing with this effort?" Ou Jinshu said: "Don't bother, there is a small tea stove here, and the hot water is ready-made." Tong Ning'er put down the lip grease in her hand and asked, "The water is ready-made, but should we bring rock candy?" ”

Zifeng was helping Su Mengtang comb the fallen horse bun, and when she heard this, she said, "I didn't bring this, I took a look at it before I went out and put it down." Ou Jinshu let out an annoyed "oh" and muttered to himself, "Even if it can't be done." Su Mengtang said with a smile: "It's done, the fruit cakes in March are all boiled by me with rock sugar, you take a few pieces of pear cakes, boil them in water first, and then put the pears in them when they melt, isn't it the same." ”

Ou Jinshu exclaimed in surprise when he heard this: "This method is good, why didn't I expect it, Sister Su is really talented." Simon March wiped his face with his sleeve and volunteered: "Master, I know where it is, I'll go get it." After that, he ran to get a few pieces of fruit cake and said, "Give-Aunt Jinshu." ”

Jin Shuxi took it with a smile, touched March's head and said, "Good boy, my aunt has to stay up for a while, and the house will be smoky for a while, so you can go out and play." When March heard this, she immediately looked back at Su Mengtang's reaction, Mengtang was held by Zifeng's hair, and she couldn't nod, so she only winked at him and said, "Go, take your sister Xiaoqiu, you can't run away, we should leave later." ”

Qiuqiu also finished washing her face at this time, and stood aside and watched Tong Ning'er apply snow pills to her face. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the recent rain in Lin'an, Qiuqiu would be worried that her face would be dry to burst, but fortunately, the eight-year-old child's skin moisture content is very high, and she can get by without applying lotion.

"Let's go, Xiao Qiu'er, let's go out for a run." Simon helped Qiuqiu bring her little purple cloak and pulled her to open the door. "Simon, take the hat." Su Mengtang hurriedly shouted, but the two children had already run out, leaving only a string of footsteps. "It's okay, miss, there aren't many people outside in the morning, and no one will pay attention." Zifeng comforted.

Su Mengtang was a little worried in his heart, and only said: "It's better to be careful, comb your hair later, you can send them down." Zifeng responded with a smile, brought flower seed oil, and began to apply it to Su Mengtang's hair. Ning Er put down the snow pill and picked up the Taizhen red jade paste again. Ou Jinshu on the side took out a knife and began to peel the pear, and for a while, all kinds of subtle aromas diffused in the room.

Qiuqiu was pulled by the West Gate and ran from the third floor to the street in one go, and the two children stopped under the archway panting and giggling. "Xiaoqiu, let's go over there and see, what's delicious." Simon March pointed to a few steaming stalls that had just been erected in the middle of the street. Qiuqiu looked along the fingers of the West Gate, and saw that not far from the west side of the gate of Wanghailou, there was a stall with the words "The First Crab Roe Bun in West Lake" written on it.
