Chapter 18: Huo Sangongzi
Fengle Building is indeed not far away, halfway through a street, I saw the glamorous, huge signboard Fengle Building.
Fung Lok Building has only two floors, but it is much higher than the average two-storey building.
Li Ran entered the joyful door of the fluttering silk.
A row of welcoming servants standing under Huan Men looked stunned when she saw her.
There are many female dependents who come to their Fengle Building, but when the female dependents come, they all take the car and enter directly through the side door.
Like in front of him, the brocade-clothed fox Qiu, but alone, just watched everywhere so unscrupulously, Shi Shiran entered the Huanmen, and it was the first time they had seen it.
When Li Ran raised his feet and stepped on the steps, the steward who was in charge of welcoming guests had a flash of inspiration:
This must be the girl who visited Linglong Fang a few days ago and went to Qingfeng Tower, the girl from the Houfu who was born to the princess of the previous dynasty.
"The girl is here, the girl is invited, there is a quiet private room upstairs, the girl is going upstairs to sit?"
The steward reacted very quickly, just thought in his heart, his hands, feet and mouth had already moved, he rushed forward a few steps, bowed down to laugh, let Li Ran inside, and made suggestions by the way.
Li Ran nodded and followed the steward up the stairs, followed by Zhou E, and also went upstairs.
The steward went upstairs to let Li Ran, and gestured to Dr. Cha Fan to measure the wine.
Li Ran entered the private room, and Dr. Cha Fan came in with a neat woman in a blue skirt and white shirt with a blue and white cloth belt tied around her waist, and put a few delicate snacks on the table, and made tea on it.
"What time is it?" Li Ran asked as she sat down.
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon." The woman replied with a smile.
"You also sit, let's have lunch before leaving." Li Ran motioned to follow up, and Zhou E, who was standing by the door.
Zhou E hesitated and sat down.
"What would the girl like to eat?" Dr. Chajiu bowed down before speaking.
"What's your best thing here?" Li Ran asked.
"At this time, the crab roe lion head, stewed mutton, and crystal meat in the small shop are not bad, and they are also a little famous in our capital.
There are also freshly brewed wine crabs with bell heads, which are tender and fat, as well as crab stuffed oranges and hibiscus crab buckets, all of which are available in small shops.
Coincidentally, the shop had just entered a dozen baskets of fat crabs this morning, and the girl knew that this was the time to eat crabs. ”
Dr. Chajiu's introduction is very detailed.
"Stewed mutton, hibiscus crab bucket, two wine crabs, and then let the bell head look at a few fresh vegetarian dishes, is there any wine?"
"Yes, the Yulu wine in the small shop is said to be no worse than the Yutang Spring in Qingfeng Building." Dr. Chajiu replied with a smile.
"Then a pot of Gyokuro wine." Li Ran smiled.
Compare Yutang Chun in Qingfeng Building with because you know that she has been to Qingfeng Building? Do they know who she is?
Does these restaurants have their own channels for delivering news, or is she already famous in the capital?
"What about you?" Li Ran asked while thinking about it while looking at Zhou E.
"Just let the bell make me a bowl of fried crab noodles." Zhou E ordered the dish neatly.
Dr. Chajiu agreed and withdrew.
Two wine crabs, a few cold dishes, a few vegetarian dishes and wine came up quickly, Li Ran sipped the wine, savoring those delicate side dishes little by little.
Zhou E doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't eat vegetables, drinks tea and waits for her fried crab noodles.
……………………
As soon as Xie Ze came out of the palace gate, the little servant Shi Nan hurriedly greeted him and reported: "General, Miss Li went to the Hejian County Mansion to invite, and came out of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion at the end of the year, along Xijiaolou Street to Nanmen Street, and then to Gaotou Street, walked very slowly, and arrived at the Hejian County Palace." At noon, he came out of the palace of Hejian County, and entered Fengle Building at two o'clock at noon.
Now the second floor of the Fengle Building is a private room. Zhou E has been following Miss Li.
Nothing unusual along the way. ”
Xie Ze listened attentively, hummed, ordered to continue staring, and got on the horse and went home.
……………………
Huo Wencan, the third prince of the Hejian County Palace, was with the prince, busy all morning, came out at noon, and hurried home.
Today, his sister invited the girl Li to come to the house, but the prince explained the official business, he had to go back to take a look, first, to see if anything had gone wrong, and second, he had to report this matter to the prince clearly and clearly, and it was best to take a few quiet looks.
Huo Wencan entered the second gate, and when he heard his mother-in-law say that Miss Li had left, he was stunned, hurriedly quickened his pace, entered the back garden, found a place to wait, and ordered someone to call his sister Huo Wenlin.
Huo Wenlin came over quickly.
Huo Wencan's eyes widened when he heard his sister say that Li Ran came from the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and when Huo Wenlin said all the way to Li Ran and walked back, he was simply dumbfounded.
"Let's go...... Walked back? ”
Huo Wencan pointed his finger in the direction of the mansion door, and he stuttered a little.
"Li Sanniang didn't answer, so you let her go back?
From our house to the Chang'an Hou Mansion, how far is it, don't you know? How can you get her to walk back?
Sister Lin, how can you be so ruthless?
How can you get her to walk back? ”
"It's not me!"
Huo Wenlin was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
"Since yesterday when A-Niang said to let me have a treat, which one can I decide?
From the beginning of writing the post, sitting on one side of the mother-in-law, on the other side stood the sister-in-law, four eyes looking at me to write.
Miss Li's post, A-Niang found a fault, sister-in-law found a fault, A-Niang found a fault, and A-Niang found a fault, I wrote it four or five times!
Today's treat, from the inside to the outside, no matter how big or small, is the sister-in-law once, and the aunt again, where is my turn to speak?
The housekeepers and grandmothers in the house were all staring in the warm pavilion, and even changed a cup of tea and a plate of snacks for Miss Li, they invited A-Niang to show them, and then went to change them.
It's not that I didn't want someone to send her back, but I guess what's the use? This man, this car, can I send out?
To change a cup of tea, you have to ask A-Niang to show it.
Also, A-Niang didn't say that she wouldn't send the car, but she was in too much of a hurry, and she didn't wait for A-Niang to send the car out! ”
In the end, Huo Wenlin burst into tears.
She is already aggrieved enough, and the third brother still blames her.
"A-Niang, A-Niang, you have to have your own ideas!"
Huo Wencan didn't finish yelling, looking at his sister's tears, the tail note immediately turned down, and his voice instantly softened.
"Forget it, I know you're different from me, it's me who is too anxious.
Don't cry, I don't blame you. Alright, stop crying.
When did Miss Lee leave? I'm going to look for her, and I'm going to have to send her back.
Wait for me to come back and talk to A-Niang, how can this be!
I don't blame you for this, don't cry, I'm leaving. ”
Huo Wencan turned around and left, Huo Wenlin chased two steps and opened his mouth, but he couldn't shout.
From the time Li Ran walked out to the present, she has been worried about what happens along the way......
The third brother is going to send Miss Li back, do you want to talk to A-Niang about this now?
Forget it, let's not talk about it, she will say it now, A-Niang is just in a hurry, and she can't control the third brother.
Besides, the third brother said just now, he will go to talk to A-Niang when he comes back.
Huo Wenlin hesitated for a while, lowered her head and walked towards the warm pavilion.
……………………
Huo Wencan strode out of the mansion and told the little maid to inquire if he had seen a beautiful girl in brocade.
The little guy ran out and back very fast, this inquiry is simply a casual question, everyone knows.
When Huo Wencan went straight into Fengle Building, Li Ran's sprinkled vegetables had just been served, and Zhou E had just started to eat her fried crab noodles.
Standing at the door of the private room and seeing Li Ran, Huo Wencan breathed a sigh of relief first, met Li Ran's unexpected gaze, and bowed his hand, "The little sister is not well entertained, and the girl has been wronged." ”
"I'm fine, and Sister Ling is also fine."
For Huo Wencan's seemingly sincere apology, Li Ran was very surprised.
"I'll send the girl back." Huo Wencan leaned sideways.
Li Ran was even more stunned, seeing him like this, was this going to send her back immediately?
"I'm eating." Li Ran ordered the dishes that were full of dishes on the table, and said uncertainly.
She wasn't sure what the noble boy in front of her meant.
Do you really want to send her back right away?
Didn't he see that she had just asked for the dish on this table and hadn't started to eat it yet?
Or, what does he mean otherwise?
After all, she knew very little about a creature like Guigongzi, and she also knew very little about the etiquette rules of the current world.
Huo Wencan furrowed his eyebrows, looked at Li Ran's fingers, saw the dishes on the table, and then looked at the pot of wine and the glass that had been poured in front of Li Ran, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't help but took half a step back, "I'll wait for the girl downstairs." ”
"Hey!" Li Ran saw Huo Wencan turn around to leave, and hurriedly stopped, "Thank you, but you don't need to send it, there is Aunt Zhou, besides, I want to go shopping again." ”
Zhou E just unhurriedly concentrated on eating noodles.
Huo Wencan's brows tightened even tighter, looking at Li Ran, his face sank a lot, and he repeated: "I'm waiting for the girl downstairs." ”
Li Ran looked at Huo Wencan, who turned around and left, stayed for a moment, sighed, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, tasted it slowly, swallowed the wine, and began to eat hibiscus crab bucket.
This Fengle Lou dares to take the hibiscus crab out as a face, and it is indeed quite good.
Zhou E ate the noodles, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and looked at Li Ran, who was slowly tasting wine and food on the other side.
Huo Wencan waited downstairs for nearly a quarter of an hour, came up irritably, and beckoned to the shopkeeper, "Go up and see what's going on." ”
The shopkeeper accompanied him with a smile on his face, trotted all the way to the upstairs private room, called out the waiter standing at the door, and said in a low voice: "The third prince asked me, I'm in a hurry, it's been two quarters of an hour, you ......"
The shopkeeper went to the private room and motioned for the bad to urge.
Knowing this, he entered the private room, poured wine for Li Ran first, and then said with a smile; "Today's yellow croaker wontons are the freshest, do you want to try them? Eat a few more ravioli and you'll be full. ”
"No, you don't." Li Ran looked at Yan Yan, "That boy just now asked someone to urge?" What did you say? ”
"I didn't say anything, it's the shopkeeper, I'm about to wait impatiently." He said vaguely.
Li Ran snorted, and then ate slowly.
He didn't dare to say more, so he lowered his hands and stood back at the door of the private room.
