Li Ran returned to Cuiweiju and didn't go out again, after breakfast, Zhou E went out in plain clothes, listened to Xiaoyun's gossip, and returned to Cuiweiju a quarter of an hour earlier than her.

If she goes out again now, Zhou E will definitely follow, it will be too frustrating.

Besides, she's fine.

The next day, when she just entered the feeding, Zhou E lifted the curtain of the upper room, probed in, looked at Li Ran and said, "It's lively outside today." ”

"Huh? Good. Li Ran immediately put down the book in his hand and got up to stay.

"Girl, change your clothes." Mama Fu held her clothes and squeezed into the house from Zhou E's side.

Xiaoyun and Mama Fu waited for Li Ran to change her clothes, Mama Fu looked at Li Ran's head, her hair was combed very well, she didn't need to move, just change the hairpin.

Li Ran looked down at herself and looked at her bright body, and wondered a little, she rarely wore such a delicate and bright dress, but it was nothing.

Out of the hospital, Zhou E glanced at Li Ran, "Listen to a little song?" ”

"Okay." Li Ran also wanted to go and see Taonong, so she should just do it.

Zhou E said to the coachman, and the car drove to Liva unhurriedly.

Momonon saw the two of them and sent someone over to deliver a message, she was going to try on a few new clothes today, and she had to hurry over after singing a little song.

Li Ran and Zhou E came out after listening to the song, Zhou E thought of Wu's sister-in-law's pig's head meat, Li Ran was also very greedy when she heard it, and also wanted to see how Wu's sister-in-law was doing recently.

The two of them looked at that side from this side, and asked the guy in the incense and candle shop next door, and the guy in the incense and candle shop said that he was fine yesterday, and since this morning, he hasn't opened the door, and he hasn't seen Sister-in-law Wu, so maybe he is in a hurry to go out?

Zhou E slapped the door hard for a while, but there was no movement inside, so the two had to turn around and go back, and found a random place to have dinner, Zhou E proposed to go to the nearby Little Sweet Water Alley.

There are a total of six sweet water alleys in the capital, all of which are places where brothels gather.

Zhou E's proposal, and even the fact that she took the initiative to invite her out, made Li Ran quite puzzled.

Zhou E never gave her half-word advice on whether she went out or not, and her whereabouts, and she was really surprised by the clear proposal to go out for a walk and visit places like Sweetwater Lane like today.

Well, let's take a look at it, Zhou E is a frank person, look at it for a while, and you will probably be able to see the clues.

Little Sweet Water Lane is the one with the highest specifications of all Sweet Water Lane.

The streets of Little Sweet Water Lane are very wide, and the flower buildings on both sides are extremely grand and luxurious, and there are colorful buildings at the door of each house.

Cailou is much the same, they are all in the middle of the high offering head wearing a snake crown, or simply the head and face is a snake-like statue, the statue is decorated with jewels Ayara, very gorgeous, the outside of the statue, covered with a blue cage red veil.

On both sides and in front of the statue, there are a pair of vivid geese, mandarin ducks, turtles and fish, etc., which are vivid and do not know what to make of, as well as miniature versions of farmhouses, characters and flowers carved out of melons and fruits, etc.

It is an idyllic setting, like a paradise.

Li Ran stretched out his head from the first family to look carefully, and was very surprised to see it, this kind of thing, too delicate and beautiful, the green seedlings in the farmhouse are real, those flowers and plants seem to be carved out of real melons and fruits, they are all delicate things that cannot be preserved for a long time.

"What is this?" Li Ran pointed to the color building, looked at Zhou E and asked.

"Cailou." Zhou E's answer was so concise that she didn't say anything.

"What is this?" Li Ran had no choice but to point to the snake crown or snake-faced god statue in the middle and asked.

Alas, when visiting such a place, you should still be with the six ladies, and with General Zhou, it is a blind tour.

"Grind and drink." Zhou E glanced at the statue of the snake crown god and replied with disdain, she squinted at all the statues.

"Mahara?" Li Ran immediately understood, no wonder it was a little familiar.

"It should be, it's not the same." Zhou E waved her hand, she never asked for a lot of understanding of these, just the same, if it was bad, it would be fine, and it would not be dead.

"What about those? Is there a name? Li Ran pointed to those wild geese, mandarin ducks, and farmhouses again.

"That's called floating on the water, this is the grain board, these are the flower melons, this is the fruit food general, that is the seed, that is the lotus."

Zhou E pointed her finger and introduced it in one breath, simple and clear.

Li Ran wanted to sigh when she heard this, okay, about General Zhou only knows what the name is, what these are, what are the origins, what are the sayings, what are the effects, she doesn't know.

Li Ran changed his family and looked at it carefully, and he was full of interest.

"Is Sweetwater Lane usually like this? Or is it just like today? Is today a special day? It's a holiday again? Li Ran looked at four or five in a row, looked at Zhou E and asked with a smile.

In the capital for more than half a year, Li Ran's biggest experience is that there are so many festivals here!

Zhou E was asked by Li Ran's words, the two eyebrows were raised, and her fingers were drawn from the first flower building to the one they were looking at, and then went back, "You don't know what this is?" ”

"What is it? Didn't you just say, Hualou? Li Ran followed Zhou E's finger and looked back.

She asked her just now, and she said it was Hualou!

"Alas!" Zhou E let out a long sigh and raised a hand to press on her face, "Today is the Begging Festival, the seventh day of July." You don't even know. ”

It was she who was confused, and because the girl had not been stupid lately, she had forgotten that she knew nothing.

Mama Fu said that today is the Begging Festival, and said that the Begging Festival in the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion is not good, if she doesn't go, she is afraid that she will always be a little sad, she actually nods all the time!

Alas, this girl didn't even know that today was the Begging Day! It seems that she doesn't know the rules of the Begging Festival.

She and Mama Fu are worried in vain!

"This beggar festival, like the Mid-Autumn Festival, is all spent together by families behind closed doors?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E, who was full of chagrin and slap on his face, and asked with a smile.

"Well, Mama Fu...... It's just right, let you see the begging festival in our capital, the whole capital, the best begging building, are on this street, you have seen this street, even if you have seen the begging festival in the capital. ”

Zhou E's hand wiped off her face.

"Thank you, and Mama Fu." Li Ran looked at her, thanked her in a low voice, and then looked forward.

Walking around a small sweet water alley, Li Ran sighed with satisfaction.

Zhou E is right, the beggar buildings on this street are really thoughtful, beautiful, and beautiful.

Li Ran stood at the mouth of the alley, looking at Zhou E, and before she could speak, the corners of Zhou E's mouth began to pull down, "Go back from Wanshouguan." ”

"Hmm." Li Ran turned her head and didn't look at the corners of Zhou E's mouth that was going down all the way.

It is not close from Xiaotianshui Lane to Wanshouguan, Li Ran got into the car, got out of the car in front of the Eight Immortals Building, and went to Wanshouguan with Zhou E one after another.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Wanshouguan, Li Ran saw Xie Ze standing in front of the big locust tree.

Seeing Li Ran running over in three steps and two steps, Xie Ze had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and held a very beautiful bunch of emerald green tied with a red and green silk rope in his hand, and handed it to Li Ran.

"Seeding." Li Ran reached out and took it, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.

"I can't eat it." Xie Ze snorted and added.

Li Ran glanced up at him, she had called out her name, didn't she know if she could eat it?

And this thing is really edible, and it's very delicious.

Li Ran held the bunch of seeds and walked forward with Xie Ze.

"The sixth lady of the Wang family is given to Huo Wencan." Walking past the noodle shop, Xie Ze suddenly spoke.

"Well, the sixth lady thinks it's good." Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze and smiled.

Xie Ze lowered his head sideways and looked at Li Ran, and for a moment, he snorted as if he didn't have anything.

This little girl is so clever......

"Whether the sixth lady thinks it's good or not, what's the matter."

"Well, I think it's pretty good, too." Li Ran thought about it, replied with a little caution.

Xie Ze stopped, looked down at Li Ran, who was looking up at him, for a moment, turned around and moved forward.

"Xie Pei and the Cao family's family have agreed."

"Hmm." Li Ran was a little unsure of what he meant, so he only hummed in a low voice.

Xie Ze looked at her sideways, "Tired?" ”

"No, it's you who walks slowly." Li Ran was a little ashamed of Xie Ze's words that were completely out of line with just now.

She is also afraid because he rarely speaks.

"Is Little Sweetwater Lane fun?" Xie Ze turned into the alley and asked again.

"Well, those beggars are beautiful." Li Ran looked at the seed in his hand.

She felt that the handful of seeds in her hand was the most beautiful bunch of all the seeds.

"You don't have to beg."

"Huh? Well. Li Ran reacted and laughed, "I don't know anything, I don't want to learn, I don't need to beg." ”

Xie Ze's footsteps paused slightly, glanced sideways at Li Ran, and turned his head back, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Out of the alley, Xie Ze stopped and ordered Shi Nan to move two chairs.

Shi Nan made the wrong chair and table from the small restaurant, made another pot of tea, and put it on the table.

Li Ran and Xie Ze sat down, Xie Ze poured a cup of tea, pushed it to Li Ran, poured another cup himself, and slowly sipped it.

Li Ran also sipped tea, looking at the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in front of her, which already had a bit of gloomy meaning, and was in a happy mood.

"The Xie family's marriage to the Lu Guogong Mansion was requested by the Xie family with great effort, and marrying the Cao family was about an unexpected joy, Xie Cao's marriage this time, the prince felt very good."

After drinking half a cup of tea, Xie Ze spoke again, his voice deep and slow.

"Well, Lu Guogong's Mansion," Li Ran paused, "I was also looking at you at that time, right?" ”

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran sideways, smiled faintly, and after a moment, he snorted, "Lu Guogong is scheming, but he is too calculating." ”

"The Xie family has already been handed over to you?" Li Ran looked at Xie Ze and asked with some hesitation.

"Well, this is what the emperor meant, and it is also what the prince meant." Xie Ze leaned back on the back of the bamboo chair, his face slightly gloomy.

"You don't want to go back to Xie's house." Li Ran's voice was extremely low, "It's like I don't want to go back to Li's house." ”

Xie Ze looked at her sideways, and for a while, he hummed out something that seemed to be nothing.

"I don't like this world either, like General Zhou, she has outstanding military achievements, but why can't she open a mansion and build a government, like the Marquis of Chang'an, just because she is a woman, it's really unfair, why do people have to return to their families and belong to the clan, live alone, why can't they? Also, why do women have to wear skirts, it's not convenient at all. ”

Li Ran straightened her legs, stroked her long skirt, and sighed as she spoke.

Xie Ze's eyebrows raised when he listened, and for a moment, he squinted at Li Ran and snorted, "Are you persuading me?" ”

"Not exactly. I really think so, but I can't help it, so I don't want to do that. ”

"Hmm." After a while, Xie Ze hummed and didn't speak again.

Li Ran stopped talking.

After drinking a pot of tea, Xie Ze stood up, "Go back." ”

"Hmm." Li Ran stood up, went over and got into the car, and watched Xie Ze raise his hand and wave at her, smiling.
