"Miss!" Hongdou stood on tiptoe and looked in, but there were too many people in front of her, no matter how she stretched her neck, she could only see the black head.

"They're looking at beauties, do you want to see them?" Qiao Ran quipped.

Hongdou was surprised when she heard this: "How did Miss know that they were looking at a beauty?" ”

Qiao Ran pointed to the alley next to the restaurant that was full of all kinds of carriages: "You can see those carriages with bell intarsia, and the fringed butterflies braided on the drawstrings on the windows, you can know that they are all carrying beauties." ”

Just like many girls and children in modern society will decorate the cars they use for travel, some truths and natures are actually the same throughout the ages.

Among the onlookers, most of them are young and strong men, among whom there are many powerful sons dressed in brocade robes. And looking at the number of carriages, the number of beauties is estimated to be not a few.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran couldn't help but look at the carriage twice, and saw that there were some symbols similar to family totems engraved in the corners of these carriages, maybe these beauties are not ordinary beauties, after all, this is the Qinhuai River where brothels are lined with brothels, and there are not a few beauties.

"Red Bean, aren't you hungry?" Qiao Ran looked at the red beans who were reluctant to retract their gaze, and pointed to a narrow wine shop on the side of the road.

No kind of beauty is more important than filling your stomach, Hongdou suddenly came back to her senses and followed her into this wine shop.

Just stepped into this wine shop, Hongdou exclaimed: "Miss, it's so elegant here!" ”

Thinking of the banner in front of the wine shop, Qiao Ran nodded. Her father didn't love her mother and grew up, although the lack of family affection, but there was no shortage of money, enough to support any of her hobbies, including seeing those old posts that were listed as "antique cultural relics", so at a glance she saw the word "wine and food" on the wine shop attracted her attention, these two words are vigorous and powerful, quite a bit of the style of the two kings (Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi).

The restaurant is separated by a fan-shaped wooden door with white walls and tiles, which is simple but looks very comfortable.

There are not many people in the restaurant, there are only a few people at each table, I don't know if it is affected by this elegant scenery, the diners deliberately lower their voices when they speak, there is no bustle of ordinary restaurants, but there is a little more rare tranquility.

I ordered a few side dishes, the dishes were light, but I was appetizing Qiao Ran, and the red beans also swept away the usual liveliness, and I ate quietly in small bites.

After eating and checking out, Hongdou followed Qiao Ran and walked out, and before he reached the door, he suddenly heard someone shouting in a raised voice outside the door.

"Huh? Why is this girl here? ”

A master and a servant were looking at them from the crowd at the door.

The people of Da Chu are civilized, and there are not many famous and noble women with power fences and veils, let alone maids, such as Qiao Ran, who is not often seen on the street with a top power fence.

A girl in a breast-length skirt with delicate makeup is looking this way.

Seeing this face, a name suddenly popped up in Qiao Ran's mind: Fang Xiuting. The concubine of the second room of the Fang family, her mother is the second lady Fang who only "gave" her two thousand taels of silver a few days ago.

Fang Xiuting obviously recognized the red bean, her gaze paused on the red bean, and soon turned to Qiao Ran who was wearing a fence on the side.

"Who do I say?" Fang Xiuting smiled, thinking that the silver that her mother had hidden for her as a future dowry a few days ago was taken away by this broom star, and she suddenly became resentful, and when she rolled her eyes, her voice raised a lot, "Isn't this Miss Qiao?" It's rare to see you go out! ”

Miss Joe? Which Miss Joe? There are not many people surnamed Qiao in Jinling, but the richest man in Jinling is surnamed Qiao, but it is a pity that the Qiao family only has two sons and no daughters.

The onlookers asked in surprise, and the maid next to Fang Xiuting, who had thin lips and looked very sharp, immediately talked about this Miss Qiao "kindly".

Soon, words such as "broom star", "kiss", and "immoral" flowed out of the crowd from time to time from the small words.

I don't know if it's because of the deterrent power of her "broom star", everyone intentionally or unintentionally stayed away from her, so it seemed to surround her in the middle.

Being pointed at like this, Qiao Ran didn't realize anything, and was about to say something, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Hongdou stood in front of her with open arms: "My family...... My young lady...... Not a broom star! Her body trembled slightly, she bit her lower lip, and her eyes were red as she stared at everyone.

It's a pity that this appearance can't arouse the slightest discomfort of the onlookers, but instead attracts a burst of laughter. The crowd looked at the lively pointers more and more presumptuously.

"Oh, this is the broom star ...... the Qiao family"

"I've heard that a lot of people have died......"

"Catch Ming'er to give a post to the government office, how can this kind of broom star come out and walk around at will......"

"That's it! What if I accidentally get unlucky by her......"

……

Such a "famous" and "powerful eight directions" is estimated to be unique in Jinling City.

Qiao Ran frowned and pulled the red bean aside, she didn't care about this, but how could she go out like being watched like a "monkey".

Just thinking like this, but seeing the crowd of onlookers split their ways, a group of dozens of young men in brocade robes walked over.

"What's going on?" A young man asked with a smile, and looked at them with bad intentions, "We are chanting poetry, listening to the noise here, I heard it upstairs." ”

Fang Xiuting chuckled, obviously knowing those young sons, and said softly: "Everyone is looking at Miss Qiao!" Maybe Miss Qiao is so good-looking! ”

"Really?" One of the young men took the folding fan in his hand and walked to this side, intending to pick up the veil in front of her fence, "I want to see what a good opinion it is!" ”

"Don't go too far!" Hongdou blocked her again, tears couldn't help but fall, and an emotion called grievance filled her heart.

In the village, those subordinates didn't dare to do anything to the young lady no matter how they disobeyed the yang and yin, and when they went to the guanli, those Taoist aunts didn't do anything to them. In front of her, this young man's behavior didn't know why, which made her feel more terrible than those subordinates.

A trace of anger flashed on Qiao Ran's face: Such a frivolous move, if it is a really greedy person, there is nothing to say, but dozens of young sons in this line, seeing that they are still wearing the waist card of Jiangnan Academy, are obviously the children of powerful people from extraordinary backgrounds and who like to write and ink, such children hold their own identities, and generally speaking, they will not humiliate a woman for no reason.

She looked up at the restaurant where the exclamation had come earlier, the window facing the street on the second floor of the restaurant was open, and a woman in a moon-white skirt with a tulle was looking at her.

She took a step back and dodged the young man who was doing it lightly, and saw that the boy looked back at the direction of the second floor of the restaurant, and the thought flashed in her heart.

"What should I be doing? was a person who read poetry and books, but it turned out that he was smiling for Bojia and deliberately humiliating the little girl! ”

The woman's voice was cold and pleasant, like a basin of cold water poured on her head, which quieted the originally noisy crowd.

Many people followed her gaze in the direction of the second floor of the restaurant.

"Isn't this Miss Li?"

"Today's poetry meeting seems to be led by Miss Li."

"When did this Miss Qiao offend Miss Li?"

……

In the whisper, the faces of the dozens of young men stiffened slightly, and the group of women who were originally in the restaurant got out of the restaurant and walked over, led by the lady Li with a thin veil on her face.

Qiao Ran looked at the Miss Li: Although she couldn't really see it through the tulle, she could vaguely see that Miss Li's nose and lips were delicate and beautiful behind the tulle, she was a rare beauty, no wonder she could attract so many fans.

"I'm offended Miss Qiao, but I'm just a little curious about what kind of woman can ask Mrs. Fang to coax my grandfather to almost marry my third brother!" Miss Li's voice is soft and pleasant, and people can't help but feel pity when they hear it. It's just that the words that came out seemed to be a blow to the head, and the tears that Hongdou couldn't hold back fell again: I couldn't believe that such knife-like words were said by the woman in front of me who seemed to be a fairy.
