Chapter 174: Flower Street Again
"Still going?"
Hearing the invitation sent by Lord Zhu, Lord Xiao pouted secretly, these older officials are always a little inexplicably obsessed with strange details, it is better to refuse earlier, otherwise they will definitely be taken the opportunity to educate themselves well if they are entangled by such a person.
"Thank you, Lord Zhu, for your kindness..."
"Brother Xiao, Lord Zhu's good intentions, I can't refuse it~"
"That's it, I'm afraid you didn't take a good look at this year's Lanqiu Festival when you went to Flower Street before, right? Go with me this time, let Brother Wei explain it carefully for you"
Several of Lord Xiao's colleagues showed great interest when they saw someone offering a treat, as if they were afraid that he would refuse to cause them to lose the opportunity to be invited this time, so they hurriedly interrupted him and answered in his place, and some even volunteered to lead the way.
“......”
Seeing that several colleagues were so happy, Lord Xiao had no choice but to acquiesce, saluted Lord Zhu, and thanked: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, and the lower officials have thanked Lord Zhu here."
Everyone agreed on the time to meet, each returned to their residence, bathed and changed clothes for a short rest, there were still three minutes before the unitary hour, Lord Xiao was about to go out, a colleague ran to find him, the two went out together, did not see their own carriage, but saw a few colleagues driving a wooden cart drawn by two miscellaneous horses, it was a carriage that could not be identified.
"Hello everyone"
Lord Xiao saluted first, and then asked, "What is this car?" ”
"Come up, come up, come up"
"Brother Xiao, don't look at it, it's this car, come up quickly"
Seeing that he was puzzled and looking at him now, several people in the car were busy calling him, and the driver jumped out of the car, looked left and right to make sure that no one saw it, and then greeted: "Lord Xiao, get in the car."
"What's going on?"
As soon as I got into the car, I saw a few colleagues, and asked after arching my hand: "How do you take it...", looking up and down, this is a very ordinary post car, usually anyone who has a temporary car can be rented and used, but I don't know why these people want to rent such a car to sit today.
“... Riding a coach car? If I'm not mistaken, there is no shortage of carriages in your homes."
"You don't understand this, avoid suspicion, avoid suspicion, after all, we are directly subordinate to the one above, if you sit in a carriage with a family crest every day to swagger through the city and enter and exit the flower street, I am afraid of falling into the tongue"
Seeing this colleague say such a thing with a serious face, Lord Xiao didn't believe it at first, "There are only a few of us in this car, and there is not even a squire, to be honest"
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Brother Xiao, in fact, it's because the head of Lord Xue's family is too strict, if he knows that he goes to Flower Street, he will definitely beat him to the door and can't get in, so the brothers came up with such a note, and parked his car casually to which adult's house, borrowed the car of the post station to enter Flower Street, if he was asked by his daughter-in-law, he said that someone invited him to drink, and several people discussed office matters and delayed it."
looked at the Lord Xue in a few mouths, and was smiling embarrassedly.
"It's also hard Brother Xue"
The Lanqiu Festival has entered the sixth day, after the accumulation of the previous few days, the trainee flower girls of each family can perform vividly, whether it is dance or musical instruments, they are becoming more and more proficient, and the protagonist of the flower street is still the dance of Fangqiong's piano and aster, of course, there is a new topic this year - snacks made by the chef of Yilanlou.
Due to the imitation of several shops in the street, the impact on Yilanlou is indeed somewhat, but Sikong Yu is like no one, and in turn comforts Huamian not to be affected.
