Chapter 20 Shopping and Watching the Excitement

Li Ran ran out for the second time, what would happen to the old lady, what would happen to the lady, and even what would happen to the Hou Ye, Qiu Yue was much more worried than Li Ran.

ran to the old lady's courtyard for three or four days in a row, and then heard that the old lady was looking for Li Ran's in-laws.

Qiu Yue suddenly had a heart in her heart, and quickly found an excuse to go home, so that her mother gave a generous gift and went to Mama Qian's house.

The old lady and the lady are both neat and neat, and if they have found a good in-law for this girl, they will definitely have to marry her off.

No matter how she is, she is also a girl from the Hou Mansion, she is the daughter of the Hou Ye, this marriage, it is impossible not to have a dowry girl, she doesn't want to be this dowry girl.

It's not that she dislikes this girl, she must be not well married, she must have no future, she can't stand her not talking day by day, people can't touch and can't see through, this is something that can't wait.

……………………

Li Ran waited for four or five days, and the mansion was quiet as if she had not gone to the Hejian County Palace.

That's good.

She had already read a lot of the books in the library, and she knew a little about them, and now it was time for her to go out for a walk.

Li Ran went out of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion again.

This time, even Qiu Yue, who followed her and watched her step out of the second door, was very calm.

Qiu Yue stood in the second gate, hesitated for a long time, and went to Rongxuan Courtyard to report.

Although the old lady and the lady didn't care about the fact that the girl couldn't go out, they didn't say that there was no need to report it, anyway, she was idle and idle, and it didn't hurt to report more and ask for more instructions.

Zhou E followed behind Li Ran as usual, where did she go, where did she follow.

Li Ran didn't have any purpose in coming out this time, she walked all the way along Xijiaolou Street, and she decided to go to the end of this street first.

Xijiaolou Street is very lively, with shops on both sides one by one, selling a variety of things, at least two or three percent, which is unheard of by Li Ran.

At least half of the shops on a street had to be asked before she could know what they were selling and what they were for.

After the very small door face of the broken fan at home, she stood outside the door, staring wide, watching the thin old man repair a silk fan, and watched for a quarter of an hour.

Passing by a house selling a promotion picture or something, Li Ran simply looked at it carefully, and after flipping through a few copies, he actually saw a map of the beautiful scenery of the capital.

Li Ran was overjoyed and hurriedly took it over to take a closer look.

This row is a bunch, not only the scenic map of the capital, but also the scenic map of Rong'an City, and other scenic spots that she doesn't know where to go, all of which are drawn in great detail, and the introduction of each scenic spot is written behind, as well as the best time to watch.

This map of the scenery is completely usable for local maps.

Li Ran immediately bought a copy of the scenic spots of each of the major places.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened at the golden page she had brought out.

It was the first time he had come across a few pictures of the scenery and the gold pages of the accounts.

Li Ran bought another picture of his promotion, a few newspapers, and a thick stack of tabloids that didn't have time to read the content carefully, and bought all the pictures and newspapers in the shop.

Holding a thick stack in her hand, she put away the two pieces of broken silver that the shopkeeper found her, and picked up a large string of copper coins, Li Ran walked out of the small shop and continued to walk forward.

Passing by a bookstore, Li Ran simply bought a set of this year's new books.

These books were much more expensive, and Li Ran took four gold pages out before paying off the bill.

Li Ran even handed over the pictures of the scenery to the shopkeeper, asked him to wrap them, sent them to Cuiweiju in the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an, and handed them over to Qiuyue.

I went to a pen shop and an ink shop, bought a pen that the shopkeeper said was good, and bought a few ingot inks, Li Ran was a little tired and hungry.

She had been to Qingfeng Tower, and Li Ran looked back at Zhou E, "What's delicious around here?" Except for Qingfeng Building. ”

Zhou E was stunned.

She rarely takes the initiative to talk to her, to be exact, she rarely speaks.

"In the old Shijia shop in front, the noodle soup is good." Zhou E replied.

The gourd noodle soup in the old store of the Shi family tastes very good, and she often eats it with the same method and flavor as her hometown.

Li Ran snorted, followed the direction of Zhou E's finger, and went to the Shi family's old store.

The old store of the Shi family is far less tall than Qingfeng Building, and it is also a two-story building, but it is much shorter than the buildings of Qingfeng Building and Fengle Building, and the upstairs and downstairs are full of people.

Li Ran entered the store in a surprised gaze, and raised her hand and waved in front of a guy who was staring at her with a blank face, "Is there a vacancy?" There were two of us. ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes! The guy reacted, one turned around, and the other spun back sharply, "It's quiet upstairs, two...... Girl, can you go upstairs? ”

"Anywhere." Li Ran replied and went straight to the stairs.

The guy hurriedly followed, squeezed sideways in front of Li Ran, led the two to a table by the window, took out a white towel, wiped the clean table hard again, took a step back, rushed to Li Ran, and Zhou E, who was sitting opposite Li Ran, each pulled back.

"What do you two want to eat?"

"What's your specialty in the store?" Li Ran asked.

"The seafood soup, mixed vegetable vegetable soup, fried wontons with sauce, shrimp soup dumplings, and catfish noodles in the small shop all have some reputation." The guy replied with a smile.

"Give me a seafood soup and a fried ravioli, what about you?" Li Ran asked Zhou E.

"A bowl of gourd noodles, a crispy fried charred fish."

Zhou E's voice fell, and Li Ran immediately said, "Give me a crispy fried charred fish too." ”

The guy answered, shouted the name of the dish, and trotted downstairs.

It didn't take long for Li Ran and Zhou E to send the food they wanted.

Zhou E buried her head in eating noodles and eating scorched fish.

Li Ran tasted everything carefully:

The seafood soup is just right, and it is very delicious; Fried wonton bottom, crispy and soft filling; The crispy fried charred fish is a finger long trash fish, the fish bones have been removed, and when you bite into it, it is crispy and tender, and the juice is overflowing.

Li Ran was very satisfied.

……………………

Huo Wencan saw Li Ran when she was buying books.

He didn't have anything important to do in the morning, so he quietly followed Li Ran, watched her go shopping one by one, watched her buy pens, buy ink, and enter the old store of the Shi family.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Huo Wencan left a clever little servant to watch, hurried back to the house, hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and rushed to the palace.

The prince had already eaten lunch, and was reading with Li Qingning and a few other companions, sitting upright to listen to an article by Shao, the king of the country's sacrificial wine.

Huo Wencan tiptoed, slipped in quietly, and sat upright to listen to the lecture.

The king's sacrificial wine told a good article, and even the prince, everyone respectfully sent the king's sacrificial wine away.

Huo Wencan saw that only Li Qingning, Wang Hang, Cao Ming and a few other close companions were left, and said with a smile to the prince: "When I was in the middle of the corner, I went to the bookstore on West Jiaolou Street to see if there were any new books, who knew that I saw that girl." ”

Huo Wencan raised his chin at Li Qingning, "It's the girl in their house." I'm also buying books, and I'm buying them in style. ”

Huo Wencan raised his chin, raised his hand, flicked his index finger forward twice, and pinched his throat, "These are all new books this year?" I'm going to do it all. ”

The prince just picked up a cup of tea, coughed and laughed, and hurriedly put down the teacup, "You are even late for the class, just because you are staring at other girls?" ”

"That's right, let you speak." Huo Wencan smiled and glanced at Li Qingning, whose face was not very good, "It's really interesting." I quietly followed her.

When I saw her, she had a thick stack in her right hand...... Later, she handed over the stack of things to the bookstore shopkeeper, and let the package be sent back to the Chang'an Hou Mansion together, I asked the bookstore shopkeeper, and said that it was a stack of scenic pictures, there were twenty or thirty sheets, and it seemed that the world's scenic spots were bought. It's really heroic. ”

Huo Wencan laughed and gestured as he spoke.

She carried such a large string of copper coins in her left hand, and it was not too heavy. She used the account of the gold page club to buy books, and the bag of copper coins seemed to be found to her by the seller of the scenic map.

Do you know where she put the golden pages? Put it in the boot tube, in the bookstore, it's ......"

Huo Wencan raised his feet high and gestured, "Step on the bench with one foot, hug your skirt, bend down and touch the gold page, touch one and touch another, really, tsk." ”

Huo Wencan didn't know how to describe his feelings and mood at that time, so he had to sigh repeatedly.

She carried her large string of copper coins, didn't walk a few steps out, stood at the door of the tea and soup shop next door, and looked straight at the crispy snails.

In this way, the guy who stared at the two of them with big eyes and saw the crispy snail broke several times in a row.

If it weren't for the fact that her fox fur cloak was so valuable, and she was carrying such a large string of copper coins in her hand, the shopkeeper would have to grab a handful of crisp snails and send her away as a begging for food. ”

The prince couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing.

"She looks at everything, looks at everything, looks at everything.

Even if someone has a hoop bucket, she can stand at the door of someone's house and look straight at it for a quarter of an hour, and the old man with the hoop bucket will stop hoop and look at her with his eyes.

Later, she entered the Zhou's pen shop and asked the price of the pens in the shop one by one.

After asking the price, I also asked, why is this expensive, why is that cheap, how is that money made, and asked that wolf is really the hair from the wolf? Where did he pluck the hair, and asked where there were wolves around.

I'm really, tsk, the first time I've heard someone ask such a detailed question, buy a pen, and even ask where the wolf came from.

She asked for a quarter of an hour, from the cheapest to the most expensive, and bought ten pens.

Isn't the family emblem ink shop next door to the Zhoujia pen shop, she asked one by one exactly the same, from the cheapest to the most expensive, bought four spindles of ink, bought it, it was already noon.

I watched her enter the old store of the Shi family, it was already noon, thinking that Mr. Wang was going to talk at noon, but I didn't dare to read it again, so I hurried over.

By the way, Zhou E has been following her. ”

When the prince heard the end, he sighed, "She really should see everything strange, she hasn't seen it before."

She has grown so big, before she came to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, she had never been out of that small courtyard, and she had never seen anything. ”

Huo Wencan, who had just picked up the cup to drink tea, was stunned, and his hand holding the cup froze, he patronized the joke, but he didn't expect this.

Huo Wencan came to his senses, and then he felt a wave of shame, mixed with pity and a feeling of indescribability, and then he regretted it.

He shouldn't have laughed at her like that.

"Before she was fifteen years old, there was a female gentleman who accompanied her, taught her to read and write, and always had someone to talk to.

In the next two years, she was a deaf and dumb woman who took care of her, she didn't even have a person to talk to, she grew up like this, and now, she can say a sentence or two a day, compared with not talking for a year or two, she is already a lot of talking, she is a poor person. ”

When the prince said the last sentence, he looked at Li Qingning, "Your father said that she met her elders and would not even greet her." ”

Li Qingning's face flushed, and he couldn't speak.

"Your mother-in-law is looking for your sister-in-law, do you know this?" The prince looked at Li Qingning and asked.

Li Qingning was stunned, "This sister? I really don't know. ”

"Well, I said that if I want to find a businessman, the farther away from the capital, the better."

"Merchant? That girl's identity, is there a businessman who dares to marry her? Can you find it? Huo Wencan couldn't say anything on his face.

"I just didn't find it. Don't talk about this, you can look at those folds and discuss them. The prince looked away from Li Qingning and pointed to a few excerpts on the long case.
