Chapter 184: Together
Xie Ze kept an eye on Jian Mingrui and Qi Yi's army, until the sentry reported that the Shu army had set up camp along Jingzhou City, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease.
No matter how busy they are, Xie Ze and Li Ran must go out once a day, either to have lunch or dinner.
On the day when he made an appointment with Fuxing Building to eat hibiscus lungs and burst double crispy, it was also evening, Xie Ze came back early that day, and the sun was still hanging high, so he entered Fuxing Building with Li Ran.
This was agreed in advance, and in the morning Li Ran asked Mama Sang to come over and watch the location, and when she and Xie Ze arrived, Fuxing Building was upstairs and downstairs, full of people, but it was very quiet.
Xie Ze gently shook Li Ran's hand, probably wanting her not to be nervous.
He and she were both averse to sociability and crowding, and at this time, such a situation was not a last resort, and he would never want to face it.
Li Ran glanced at Xie Ze and said with a low smile: "You should be married for a while." ”
Xie Ze smiled.
The shopkeeper who bowed down and followed next to him was visibly relieved.
The handsome and majestic is too heavy, and after four or five steps from Huanmen, his back is already drenched in sweat.
The private room selected by Mama Sang is extremely bright, facing the lobby on the first floor, the windows are open to the end, and the windows are fully open at this time, only a row of carved railings half a person high, and the doors and windows facing the lobby are connected to the windows, and the doors and windows are open to the end.
From their private room to the left and right, the private rooms were full of people, and they were all like them, with the doors wide open and the windows wide open, quietly listening to the movement.
The shopkeeper tried to look like usual, and together with the two carefully selected men, he first sent fragrant tea, refreshments, and hot handkerchiefs.
"There are a lot of idlers in the restaurants in the capital, as well as the people who sell fruit and medicine, and the zaks who play the wine house, which are very lively, don't you have them here?" Li Ran looked at the shopkeeper and smiled.
"Yes, yes!"
The shopkeeper had a word and a waist, and Zhou E's eyes were spent.
"I didn't dare to call in for fear of disturbing the marshal and the princess."
"Come in with them, I'm in the capital, I like to eat the fragrant medicine and fruits they sell, which are better than what you make in restaurants, and I also like to listen to small songs."
Li Ran was also dizzy by the shopkeeper, and ordered while laughing.
"Yes, yes, yes! The princess waits, the big handsome waits, the little ones go, they go, let's see. ”
The shopkeeper exited the door of the private room, rushed downstairs like a meteor, did not dare to shout, waved his arms vigorously, and suppressed his voice to direct the rows of men standing on the porch leading to the back kitchen.
"Go quickly, take Da Mao them, and Yu Sanniang, those, you know, usually here with us, no, call things good, go quickly!"
The first one of the shopkeepers went to speak out, and the guys had already run out.
The private room upstairs was open like that, and it was quiet, Li Ran's words just now, upstairs and downstairs were basically heard, and the guys naturally heard it, and they knew who to call before the shopkeeper finished speaking.
Fuxing Lou around the lively to see the strange more, selling fragrant medicine fruit all over the street to do business, one to be well-informed, the second to most of the love to see the lively, the guys rushed out, not far away, called a group of oak city on the ground of a small famous fragrant medicine fruit sellers, as well as a few perennial in the vicinity of several restaurants to sing small singing.
The shopkeeper stood at the top of the stairs, staring at the people who filled the lobby in the blink of an eye, and a few bold idlers, dumbfounded.
From apprentice to buddy to doctor to shopkeeper, for decades, he never cared about how these idle men did business, he just watched them not disturb his guests, and now, the idle men standing in the lobby looked at him and looked at him stupidly.
"Come up one by one, I'll take a look first." Mama Sang stood at the top of the stairs and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Come one by one, all lined up!" The shopkeeper hurriedly went down, looking at these people don't crowd and don't mess around with this, he is good at it.
At first, a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a bamboo basket covered with snow-white summer cloth, was so fast that he couldn't walk, went up to Mama Sang, nodded and bowed his waist, straightened up and wanted to kneel down, but was pulled by Mama Sang.
"What is this?"
"The legal system is half a summer." The little boy answered very quickly.
"The princess is trying to buy some good legal Banxia, you go in and ask the princess to try it."
Mama Sang smiled and motioned to the little boy.
The little boy pursed his lips tightly, walked into the private room step by step, and when he saw Xie Ze, he stared there stupidly.
"Bring me his basket."
Li Ran looked at the little boy who was stunned by Yuan and Xie Ze, and smiled and gestured to the green eggplant.
Green Eggplant walked up to the little boy and reached out to pat the little boy on the head as he took the basket.
I don't know if he was woken up by Qing Qi, or if he was brought back to his senses by Xie Ze at a glance, the little boy knelt on the ground with a thud, and was about to kowtow when he fell, Zhou E reached out and picked him up, and patted him on the head again.
"Stand still, this kid looks like a clever one, how can he be like this."
"Don't scare him, what's your name?" Li Ran looked carefully at the Banxia in the basket, took a bite of it, looked at the little boy and asked.
"Big hair!" Da Mao was picked up and patted by Zhou E, standing straight at this time, and answered very quickly.
"This half-summer flavor is really good, better than the capital, who made it?" Li Ran complimented.
"My mother! My mother-in-law passed it on to my mother, this is the ancestral recipe of our Mao family! Full oak city, on the legal system of Banxia, our Mao family is the first! ”
When Da Mao heard Li Ran's praise, his face suddenly lit up.
"Your Mao family has been in the first place in this half summer, not only in Licheng, but also in the capital. Such a good taste, how to make it. ”
Da Mao's pride with red light, seeing Li Ran laughing, Xie Ze also smiled.
"There's a secret! Banxia must be white, alum, Jinju, Banxia brew out and take it out, don't wash it, bake it directly! Da Mao's string of words shouted fast and loud.
Xie Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled speechlessly.
"You stupid boy, you shout, all over the city hears it! You're going to have to your mouth! Zhou E was speechless, and slapped Da Mao's head.
"It's that I shouldn't ask. Green eggplant, go back and say to the purchase, from this month, our house is the same as Banxia, and we will buy it from the Mao family in Licheng. ”
Li Ran patted his forehead and ordered Qing Zhi.
Qing Fei was busy, took a plate of Banxia from the basket, and took a silver blessing bean to Da Mao.
Their royal palace has never purchased the legal system for Banxia, but this is a trivial matter, and it is enough to add this purchase.
Da Mao came out with a basket in one hand and Yinfu Dou in one hand, went downstairs, grabbed him by the shopkeeper, and whispered in his ear: "You stupid boy, you have hit a lot of luck, hurry up and go home and tell your mother, tomorrow morning, let your mother kowtow to the door of the general's house to thank you, go quickly!" Your Mao family is going to be developed! ”
Li Ran bought two or three more fruits, and Mama Sang looked at them one by one, praised them one by one, kept half of them, and ordered someone to send them back.
The guy sent a few light cold salads, and then sent one of the two major signboards of Fuxing Building.
This double crispy dish is really good, and the heat is just right.
Li Ran bit the crispy chicken gizzards, and in the silence, the sound of the chicken gizzards touching the teeth and crispening was heard in her own ears, which was particularly loud.
"See if there's anyone singing, call one in." Li Ran instructed Mama Sang who was standing at the door.
Mama Sang answered, and almost immediately, she called two guests, an old man and a young man, in.
"Pick what you're good at singing." Li Ran motioned to the little girl who bowed her knees deeply.
The old man who followed behind played the lute, and the little girl knocked on the sandalwood board, and came out with a pronounced trembling, looking very nervous.
Xie Ze looked at the little girl, and when she looked at it, the little girl simply couldn't make a sound nervously.
Li Ran put down her chopsticks, laughed, and pulled Xie Ze's sleeve, "Don't look at her." Pour her a cup of tea and let her relax. ”
The little girl's face flushed.
"What's your name? How old is this year? Li Ran casually asked for words to relieve the little girl's nervousness.
"Little Peach, it's sixteen this year."
"Peach blossom's peach? I have a friend who also brings a peach character, called Taonon. Li Ran said with a smile.
"Is it the Mono senior who sang about the south of the battle city on Xingrong Pass?" The little girl's eyes widened suddenly.
The little girl's voice fell, and the old man standing behind her slapped her hurriedly.
"I was wrong!" The little girl immediately bent her knees at Li Ran to admit her mistake.
"Huh? What's wrong? Li Ran didn't react.
"You shouldn't say Xingrong Guan......" The little girl subconsciously glanced at Xie Ze.
"Oh." Li Ran understood.
When Tao Nong sang about the south of the battle city on Xingrong Pass, the opposite side was Huo Shuai's army.
"What can't be said about this? Momonon was very proud of her singing a little song on Xingrongguan.
One year, Jin Mingchi asked for a small song before performing martial arts, and the Ministry of Rites wanted to invite Tao Nong, but Tao Nong went back, she said that she sang once on Xingrong Pass, and she would not sing elsewhere, and the emperor rewarded her with a lot of gold and silver, and she had silver, and she was idle for more than half a year. ”
Li Ran smiled and explained extremely clearly.
"I heard that she went all out to fund a new Jinshi, but after that person became a Jinshi, he failed her?"
An inquiry came from downstairs.
"Shanxi Qiao Mingshu?"
Li Ran glanced at Xie Ze and replied loudly.
Tao Nong helped Qiao Mingshu repay his debts, and funded him to concentrate on studying, not only did he do his best, but also owed a small 10,000 silver, and sang three times a day for more than half a year before he paid off his debts.
After Qiao Ming wrote Jinshi, the first thing he did was to ask to marry Taonong, but Taonong refused to marry.
Momonon said that marriage can't be married no matter what, she has already put money in, do you still want to put people in? ”
"Ugh!" Xiao Tao, who was listening attentively, gasped in shock, and shouted, "New Kejinshi!" It's Jinshi! ”
"Hmm. Qiao Mingshu didn't do anything to be sorry for Taonong, Taonong didn't marry, according to her own words: Marrying someone, that is for a man, losing countless men, if General Xie can still weigh it, other people can't, she won't eat it. ”
Li Ran looked at Xiao Tao, but the words were said to the voice downstairs.
"This is indeed something that only Momino can say. I didn't expect the princess to really have a relationship with Momono.
In Xia Miao Qin, Licheng was born, and he could see the marshal and the princess, and Qin and so on benefited a lot. ”
With the sound, there was a loud sound of chairs downstairs.
Xie Ze stood up and glanced at Shi Nan, who nodded hurriedly, indicating that it was indeed Miao Qin.
Li Ran and Xie Ze stood up and looked downstairs.
Almost all of the dozen or so people sitting in the lobby downstairs stood up, with Miao Qin in front, rushing at Xie Ze and Li Ran upstairs, and bowing to the end.
A group of twenty or thirty people withdrew from Fuxing Building, Xie Ze smiled and motioned to Li Ran, "Let's go back too." ”
"Hmm." Li Ran smiled and came out with Xie Ze.
Outside the Fuxing Building, the night has fallen, and the street is brightly lit, although it is not yet lively, but it is much more lively than when they arrived on this street the first day.
"The Miao family is a local family in the Licheng area, Miao Qin is a young talent, is the Xie Yuan of the previous subject, and is very popular among the scholars in Licheng.
Let these gentlemen. ”
Xie Ze paused.
"It's too early to say that this trip at least made them accept us, and that's enough.
Thanks to you, I'm not good at this. ”
Xie Ze didn't look at the excitement on the street, only watched Li Ran talk.
"I'm not good at it, it's just that my identity is much more convenient than yours." Li Ran looked at Xie Ze and smiled.
"Well, counting the days, Mr. Zuo should go to the capital.
If you can take Shu without using a sword, the court must be extremely willing. There is no one more suitable for the candidate to go to Shu than you.
After Mr. Zuo left, I wrote another letter and asked him to deliver it to the prince quickly. If you go to Shudi, I have to accompany you, just in case. ”
Xie Ze's voice fell.
"Kill one person and avoid the suffering of the world, in the eyes of Shudi, are you such a person?" Li Ran frowned and asked.
"It can't be counted, the court has stronger soldiers than me, there are Huo Shuai, Huang Shumi, General Shi, and now the An family brothers, among the five of them, at least three of them have the ability to be handsome.
Killing me will not stop the imperial army, but will bring the disaster of wanton killing to Shudi. ”
Li Ran hummed lowly.
Zhou E told her that the emperor in anger slaughtered either one or two cities, or the prince, and he did not slaughter the city.
She doesn't care, if Xie Ze dies in Shu, the emperor and the prince are afraid that they will wash the entire Shu land with blood.
He wants to accompany her, and he is really taking his life to accompany her.
