Chapter 10: Let's go
Behind a rockery not far from the study building, the second grandmother Cao and the nurse Yuan Mama stood next to the rockery, looking at Li Ran, who was wrapped in a thin brocade quilt and reading in the sun.
"That's true." Mama Yuan pouted, "If it rains again, I'm afraid I'll have to go out wrapped in a quilt, what is this called, if people see it......" Later, Mama Yuan didn't say it, only sighed a few times.
"What's wrong with seeing? The old lady and the lady are not afraid of being seen. The second grandmother Cao Shi heaved, "A-Niang said once, saying that our old lady and Mrs. are frank and unrestrained when they don't go on the stage or on the stage, they don't hide or hide, what they look like before they get married, what they look like when they get married." ”
"That's right. But this doesn't make people warm up, and it's too ......" Mama Yuan shook her head and sighed, this is too embarrassing, "It's better to just send a sentence, don't let you go out." ”
"It's good to be able to speak, the emperor has spoken, saying that don't hold her." The second grandmother, Cao, subconsciously lowered her voice.
"Even if you have that, this doesn't give people clothes...... "Mama Yuan pouted, she still felt too embarrassed.
"It's not because it's too unpopular," the second grandmother Cao Shi understood what Mama Yuan didn't say, and laughed again and again, "The Hejian County Wangfu refuses to marry our mansion." ”
"Does the old lady still have this heart?" Mama Yuan raised two eyebrows and looked gossipy.
"The family matter of the third prince and Sister Lin, if it is not settled for a day, the old lady and the lady will not be able to die with this heart." The second grandmother Cao's voice was lowered, "Mrs. Qian'er took a few paintings of the third sister, let me show them to my cousin, and let the cousin transfer them to the third son, and ask the third son to give me some advice." ”
"Didn't the third prince say a long time ago that he wanted to marry someone who was talented and good-looking? Or in front of the lady. Mama Yuan's eyebrows were raised even higher.
"The old lady and the lady both think that the third sister is not bad at all, not only is it not bad, but she also has the advantage of being good at birth." The second grandmother Cao Shi didn't finish speaking, and laughed.
Mama Yuan sighed and laughed.

It was cold very quickly, and Qiuyue and the other girls in Cuiweiju couldn't hold it anymore, so they threw down Li Ran's single clothes and put on a thin cotton jacket.
In the morning of this day, the sky was gloomy, Li Ran sat for a moment wrapped in a thin quilt, stood up, picked up a dozen books, and handed them over to Qiu Yue to hold along with the brocade quilt, and walked back out of the book building.
Qiu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the girl finally couldn't stand the cold.
Li Ran walked along the wide bluestone road in the middle, and when he reached the intersection that turned to Cuiweiju, he didn't turn around, but still moved forward.
"Girl, it's time to turn." Qiu Yue hurriedly reminded,
"Well, let's go." Li Ran's footsteps were still the same, and he only responded casually.
"Hey......" Qiuyue only sighed halfway, and then there was no sound.
Forget it, let's take a walk, Cuiweiju is almost as cold as the study building, rather than going back to freeze, it is better to walk and warm up.
She had looked for Mama Ren.
Mama Ren said: The old lady said, although she is rich now, but she can't throw things extravagantly, this day is not cold, there is no need for a charcoal basin, she lived with her wife back then, how do you know what a charcoal basin is?
If her girl feels cold, let her go talk to the old lady. The charcoal pot in the third lady's house was also added by the third lady after talking to the old lady.
She didn't say this to the girl, she felt that she couldn't say it.
Anyway, the girl never mentioned the charcoal pot.
Qiu Yue held the thin quilt and a dozen books, followed behind Li Ran, thinking about it in annoyance, unconsciously, when she looked up, she saw that Li Ran was only a few steps away from the second door, and before she reacted and made a sound, Li Ran raised her feet and stepped out of the second door.
The two mothers-in-law guarding the second gate, one holding a hand stove and the other holding a cup of tea, stared at Li Ran out of the second door.
They watched the door, and saw that the subordinates were not allowed to enter and leave at will, but they had never received an order not to allow the masters to enter and leave at will.
This girl, without a doubt, is a master.
Qiu Yue said a word and was about to rush out, but the two mothers-in-law reacted and quickly stopped in front of Qiu Yue.
In a hurry, the two mothers-in-law came up with a wise plan, "What's the use of you catching up?" Can it be forcibly pulled back? Don't hurry up and report to the top! ”
Qiu Yue thought about it, so she turned around and rushed towards Rongxuan Courtyard.
The two mothers-in-law watched Qiu Yue's books fall to the ground, glanced at each other, and the mother-in-law holding the hand stove stuffed the hand stove into the hands of the other mother-in-law, "I have to tell Mama Ren, you look at the door, alas!" This thing! ”
Li Ran walked out of the second door, and his steps were faster.
As soon as she entered the mansion for the first time, she turned around and carefully looked at the second gate, and now she had a clear goal and went straight to the side door closest to her.
Outside the side door, the two porters were standing facing each other and chattering their teeth, Li Ran passed between the two, went down the steps, and walked to the middle of the alley, and the two porters reacted.
"Hey!" One porter raised his foot and was about to chase him out, but was grabbed by the other, "No, that, you see...... Is it the one who is not? ”
"Oh, no!" The porter who was about to chase him out stomped his foot, and he couldn't get it.
"Look, I'll report it, I have to hurry!"
Out of the mansion, Li Ran's steps were faster, and when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he plunged into the lively crowd before slowly exhaling.
……………………
Qiu Yue ran wildly, and when she rushed into Rongxuan Courtyard, more than a dozen books had already fallen off, and only the thin brocade was tightly held in her arms.
"Unbelievable! Old lady, lady, girl...... Girl, run, run! "Qiu Yue's throat was dry and hot.
"Ran away? Speak well! What does it mean to run away? Old Madam Chen straightened up suddenly.
"Yes, that's it, it's out of the second gate, it's cold today, the girl said let's go, go to the second gate, and leave!" Qiu Yue's anxious tears fell.
You can't blame her for this!
"Take the quilt away from her! Running around with the quilt on your shoulders, what it looks like! Old Madam Chen gave Qiu Yue a sentence first.
"Go and see what's going on." Mrs. Zhang instructed the big girl Xiaofu who followed her.
Xiaofu folded back as soon as he came out of the weeping flower gate, followed by Mama Lei, the manager of the second gate.
Mama Lei entered the house and lowered her hand to report: The girl went out from the side door and walked very fast, and she was no longer visible at this time.
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand away and looked at Mrs. Chen.
Old Madam Chen glanced at her and leaned back on the pillow, "She wants to run by herself, what can she do?" The emperor said, don't hold her. ”
Mrs. Zhang hummed, picked up the cup, and lowered her head to drink tea.
Qiu Yue looked dazed, looked at Mrs. Chen, and then at Mrs. Zhang, for a while, she realized.
Is this wishing the girl had run away?
Also, it's easy to run away.
If she really runs away, she doesn't have to worry about it every day. How worry-free it is to be her second-class girl in the old lady's courtyard.
Now I am the leading girl in Cuiweiju, I don't know how much I have lived, I worry every day, but the monthly money has not risen!
……………………
Li Ran was immersed in his body behind him and beside him, walked through more than a dozen shops, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he was really relieved, slowed down, and carefully looked around.
Before she looked around, everyone around her was already looking at her.
She is dressed in a high-quality dress, all of which are the best in Ayaluo, the skirt of the blouse is pressed with gold threads, and her head is even more golden, and she is rich and noble, which makes people squint.
But the clothes are thin and look like summer clothes, and the cold nose and hair are red and the face is blue.
And she is also very beautiful, walking on the street, it is really eye-catching.
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, only felt cold to the bone, looked left and right, looked at the guy who was stunned by her two eyes in the shop next to her, stood in front of him, and asked with a smile while the guy's face was flushed: "Excuse me, which is the best ready-to-wear store?" How to get over? ”
"Huh? A ready-to-wear store? "Dude, a little bit of a chagrin.
"I'm going to buy clothes, buy the best clothes, where?" Li Ran was afraid that he didn't understand, so he changed his words.
"There, there, Linglongfang, front, east, and north......"
"Thank you." Li Ran crossed the guy and strode forward.
Linglong Fang, this name is very good.
Front, to the east, which is the east?
It's okay, ask later.
Linglong Fang is not far away, Li Ran walked around and asked, and soon arrived at the door of Linglong Fang, first take a closer look.
The door face is not big, there is a car at the door that looks almost as luxurious as the car she has sat in has just stopped, and a few mothers-in-law in the door who look comfortable greet them, like a mother and daughter got out of the car and entered Linglong Fang.
The carriage went forward, passed Li Ran, and entered a courtyard more than ten meters away.
It looks like an upscale place.
Li Ran went straight to Linglong Fang.
"Girl." A few mothers-in-law at the door were stunned and looked at Li Ran, who had a string of snot hanging down from the tip of her frozen nose.
"My surname is Li, a girl from the Li family in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, and I came to buy clothes." Li Ran said a few words clearly and slowly to a few mothers-in-law.
Several mothers-in-law were even more stunned, but as business elites, no matter how stunned they were, it didn't affect them to come around and greet Li Ran, "Miss Li, please, what kind of ...... do you want to see?" Would the girl want to drink a bowl of ginger soup first? ”
"Okay, thank you." Li Ran smiled.
The two mothers-in-law led Li Ran inside, and one of the other mothers-in-law hurriedly went to tell the steward on duty.
As the most upscale garment shop in Beijing, gossip is naturally well-informed.
For the newly returned girl born to a princess of the Liang Dynasty in the Marquis of Chang'an, such a major event known to the families of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, Linglongfang not only knows, but also knows a lot.
This is also one of the favorite topics of discussion among the mothers-in-law of Linglong Fang for a while.
The three little ladies of the Hou Mansion in Chang'an, plus the Mrs. Hou, are all frequent visitors to Linglong Fang, and this girl from the Li family who has never seen her can only be the girl born to the princess.
It's really pretty!
Mama Yu, the steward on duty, got the report and hurriedly trotted all the way into the Water Moon Pavilion.
Li Ran had just sat down, and before the ginger soup arrived, Steward Yu had already arrived, and he greeted him respectfully, bowed and said with a smile: "The little woman's surname is Yu, and she is the morning shift manager of Linglong Fang." The little woman first gave the girl a gift, these two have been to the trumpet for less than a year, and they are short-sighted, so they actually invited the girl here, which is a little narrow, but I am afraid that it will not be opened, can you invite the girl to move to Lingyue Pavilion? ”
"Okay." Li Ran stood up.
Steward Yu hurriedly stepped forward and lifted up a white fox cloak in his hand to Li Ran, "It's cold outside, this cloak is a pattern that was just made yesterday, and it hasn't been released yet, please enjoy the girl, this is also a little apology from the trumpet just now." ”
"Thank you." Li Ran took the cloak, shook it open, looked at it, and draped it on his body.
Steward Yu hurriedly stepped forward, tied Li Ran's cloak belt, turned sideways forward, and led Li Ran into the Lingyue Pavilion.
