Chapter 40: Tea Party Invitations

Qiao Mo also hurriedly ran out of the studio, and shouted "father" and "mother" dryly.

Mrs. Qiao nodded at him with a smile and said, "Da Lang, I heard that you are here, so we will come to see you." ”

The smile on Qiao Mo's face was a little restrained, and he replied in a dry voice: "Thank you father and mother." ”

This sentence successfully attracted a cold snort from Master Qiao, glared at him fiercely, and walked into the painting workshop with his sleeves flicked.

Everyone went in, but the onlookers hadn't left yet, Qiao Ran was puzzled, but he heard someone around him muttering: "Why haven't you come out yet?" ”

Are you waiting for something? Qiao Ran and Hongdou glanced at each other with some surprise, and then heard a noise around them at this time, and then saw a man who looked like a steward walking out, carrying a brocade bag in his hand, took a handful of things from it and threw it into the crowd.

While throwing it, he shouted loudly: "It's all scattered, let's disperse, I haven't seen anyone travel!" ”

A handful of soybean-sized things were thrown over like this, and the red beans were sharp-eyed, and just before Qiao Ran could stretch out his hand, he jumped up "vigorously", and then, with a commotion from the crowd, the red beans showed her the two soybean-sized things he had snatched like a treasure: "Miss, where are the golden beans!" ”

Like red beans, there are not many people who can grab the golden beans before they hit the ground, and many golden beans have fallen to the ground in the crowd, and the noisy crowd is in a commotion, you push me, I kick you so everywhere.

This is the style of Master Qiao...... It really made Qiao Ran a little speechless.

He Hongdou squeezed out of the crowd, and when he turned around, he saw that the crowd was chaotic, and the officials who were patrolling the streets not far away had already rushed over, and it was a coincidence that it was still their old acquaintance, the team led by Tang Zhongyuan.

Tang Zhongyuan recognized the two of them at a glance, because there were very few female dependents with a fence in the crowd, and she was a little eye-catching when she stood in the crowd, and the red beans beside her were the girls Tang Zhongyuan boasted of "recognizing them when they turned into ashes".

Seeing the two of them, Tang Zhongyuan frowned for a while, and then urged them to leave quickly: "Let's go, what are you doing to make a fuss?" When the time comes, who will you talk to? ”

Qiao Ran asked him, "Has Qiao's family always been like this?" ”

"That's nature." Tang Zhongyuan replied, looked at the person who was picking up golden beans with his hands behind his back and watching the crowd commotion, and scolded, "Who should I be causing the people to make a commotion, it turns out that it is Master Qiao who is traveling!" ”

There was no sarcasm in the tone.

The man in charge of affairs looked like a smile on his face and replied, "There is no saying in the Great Chu Statute that golden beans are not allowed. ”

That was the person who revised the law, and he didn't expect that there would be such a strange person as the Qiao family, Tang Zhongyuan said in his heart.

"It's really a lot of money!" She snorted lightly and drove out Qiao Ran and Hongdou, who were still in place, "You two hurry up, who will cry to someone if you accidentally stampede!" ”

After saying this, he gave an order, and a dozen or so officials behind him squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "Don't crowd ...... randomly"

When they returned to Xuanzhen Temple, the crowd outside the temple still did not disperse, and when they returned to their small courtyard, they saw Xiaodao Tong Xuanxiang swallowing saliva and appearing at the door with a big food box in his hand.

"Master Qiao, Master Red Bean, you two are going down the mountain again!" Xuan Xiang looked at them.

Hongdou snorted, stepped forward to take her food box, and said, "Don't look at it, I didn't buy candied snacks today!" ”

"So what are you going to do down the mountain?" Xuan Xiang took a handful of red beans from Qiao Ran, and couldn't wait to stuff them into her mouth.

Hongdou snorted: "Someone thinks that there is too much money to scatter wealth, Nuo, do you see?" Golden Beans! This is my red bean that I finally snatched! ”

Two golden beans in the palm of the hand sparkle in the sun.

Although Xuan Xiang has never seen any gold and silver money, he also knows that this kind of vulgar thing can be exchanged for a lot of things, and he can't help but feel a little envious when he sees it, and he said: "Who, even throw gold beans!" ”

"Master Qiao!" Hongdou pursed his lips disdainfully, "I'm throwing money!" ”

"It turned out to be Master Qiao, that's no wonder." Master Qiao's name, even Xuan Xiang, who has lived in Xuanzhen Temple for a long time and has never gone down the mountain, has heard of it, and there was a sigh on her little face, "Master Qiao is the most good-looking, I heard that there was a big business before, so he made a pair of golden lions to hang on the door, to show his identity, but when Master Qiao heard about it, he found someone to make ten pairs of golden lions, and lined them up, and the door of Qiao's house was full, which was very sensational at the time!" ”

Hongdou was even more disdainful when he heard this, and even Qiao Ran had nothing to say, judging from what he saw today, Master Qiao really looked like someone who did this kind of thing.

Feeling a little bit of Master Qiao's unusual style, Xuanxiang asked Qiao Ran again for a handful of red bean private candied fruit, made a grimace in the eyes of the maid eating people, and ran out happily.

"Master Qiao, owner of red beans, the kitchen is very busy today, and it can't do without people, so the poor road will go first."

A seven or eight-year-old kid called it "Poor Dao", which was weird and interesting, and Qiao Ran grabbed the red bean that wanted to chase over.

Hongdou was indignant: "What will she do?" Can you make medicinal diets? Or will it heal people? ”

"It'......s always good to look at the stove," Qiao Ran said, but the laughter of Xuanxiang outside suddenly stopped, and then Xiao Daotong's respectful and somewhat restrained voice sounded.

Zhang ...... Zhang Shizhu. ”

Sheet? There is no one else in this view surnamed Zhang except him! Qiao Ran got up and walked out, and sure enough, she saw Zhang Xie handing over a handful of candied dried fruits from nowhere to Xuanxiang, Xuanxiang's excited little face was flushed, and she thanked her and ran away happily.

"Look at her and make her happy." Red Beans were envious.

Qiao Ran stepped forward and couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw some candied fruits in the uncollected pouch beside Zhang Jie: "I didn't expect you to like these too." This is not to say that men can't like to eat candied fruits, it's just that compared to women, men who like these things are rarer.

Zhang Xie shook his head: "I don't like it, but if someone likes it, I will always have some by my side, and when I meet it one day, I will ask for something, so I will give him a handful of these things, so that he can help." ”

A handful of candied fruits and dried fruits can be bought, except for children, I'm afraid there are only such people! Qiao Ran looked at him thoughtfully: "Then this person must be a person with a pure and transparent mind." ”

Zhang Xie nodded, and then said to Qiao Ran: "Today's three cases have been diagnosed, and I will come back tomorrow." ”

After Qiao Ran thanked him, he saw Zhang Xie take out a post from his sleeve and hand it over: "There is something I almost forgot, I was going to give it to you in the morning," he said, "Last night, Master Li from the Ministry of Officials came to the door and asked me to hand it over to you." ”

Lord Li of the Ministry of Officials? Hongdou had already reacted, and couldn't help humming: "It's the Li family's third." ”

Li Sangongzi, the lover of many girls in Jinling City, has replaced it with "the third line" in the mouth of Hongdou.

Qiao Ran took it and flipped through the post: This is an invitation, an invitation to the tea party set up by the eldest lady of the Li family.
