Li Ran's meal was very pleasant, half of it was because of the specialty dishes of the three bells, which were indeed extremely delicious, and the other half was because of Huo Wencan's talkativeness and Li Qingning's loss of a few words from time to time, which made her laugh all the time.

The kindness of the two people made her feel warm.

After eating, Huo Wencan strongly suggested that Li Ran ride the horse and try it, anyway, there is a little girl leading the horse, she just needs to sit firmly.

Li Ranshun cooperated, stepped on the little guy's folded hands, and sat sideways on the saddle.

Huo Wencan clapped his hands exaggeratedly, and exaggerated praise and praise kept coming.

Huo Wencan insisted on sending Li Ran and Li Qingning back to the mansion first, all the way to the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and watched Li Qingning and Li Ran get off the horse and enter the mansion before turning the horse's head and going back.

Li Ran went back to Cuiweiju, took a bath and fell asleep, she was tired.

As soon as Li Qingning returned to his courtyard, he didn't even drink a cup of tea, so Mama Qian hurriedly came in and invited him to Rongxuan Courtyard.

Li Qingning went all the way and was distressed all the way.

Since this sister returned to the house, he has been avoiding her, and even the prince mentioned it several times, but he also stubbornly passed it, just because he didn't want to feel pity and hurt A-Niang's heart because he had too much contact with her.

But Huo San's ......

Alas, how can I tell my wife for a while? The wife already knows, but what about the mother? Is A-Niang sad? Is A-Niang in Rongxuan Courtyard? If A-Niang is here, how should he talk for a while, and how can he not make A-Niang even more sad?

Good headache, he has never been quick-witted, and he is not good at being exquisite.

Li Qingning was distressed all the way, and he only felt that in the blink of an eye, he entered Rongxuan Courtyard.

In the upper room of Rongxuan Courtyard, there was only Mrs. Chen alone.

Li Qingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come here, sit here." Old Madam Chen pointed to her side.

Li Qingning went over and sat sideways on the edge of the kang.

"You came back with that Niko? The third brother of the Huo family is also with you? "Old Madam Chen has always been straightforward.

"Yes, I went to Liva with Huo Saburo, happened to meet her, and went to Fanlou for dinner together.

Today, Liu Dalang held a meeting in Fanlou, but I didn't go to the Wenhui with Huo Sanlang, Liu Dalang's Wenhui, I went back with Huo San, and I was afraid of making a fool of myself, so I didn't go to the Wenhui, just had a meal, and came back after eating. ”

Li Qingning avoided the important as much as possible.

"Is the third brother of the Huo family going? What does the third brother of the Huo family mean? Got a crush on her? ”

Mrs. Chen's straightforwardness is straightforward, there is nothing to say.

"Look at what the lady said."

Li Qingning was drumming in his heart because he felt ashamed of his mother-in-law, a little weak-hearted, he was not afraid of his wife-in-law, and his eyes widened when Mrs. Chen said this.

"Woman, you can't talk like this all the time, if outsiders hear this, what will it be?"

"Don't interrupt me, does the third brother have a crush on her?" Mrs. Chen slapped Li Qingning.

"Nope! Look at what you're saying! What did he like about her? You don't know how high Saburo's vision is? You see, where are you thinking? Li Qingning almost wanted to roll his eyes at his wife.

"I really didn't like it?" Old Madam Chen wrung her eyebrows, stared at Li Qingning, and asked.

"Really! Not! Yes! Li Qingning paused word by word, "Wife, don't talk so bluntly, okay?" Look at what you say, where is this! ”

"If she hadn't taken a fancy to her, what would he have to treat her to? And dragged you on, did he drag you, or did you drag him on? Mrs. Chen finished asking about the things she was most concerned about, and then asked about something else.

"No one dragged whom, alas, it was the prince, speaking of ......"

Li Qingning wanted to say that Li Ran looked at Yinke and Xiaoyanduan, but when the words came to his mouth, he quickly swallowed back, don't tell your wife about this, it's better not to say it than to say it.

"It's, you know, it's all staring at her, right? Huo San told me, why don't we go and see it again, no matter what, if you say it, it's also the girl of the Li family in our Chang'an Hou Mansion, right? When I think about it, I think it's very true, wife, do you say yes?

And we went.

There are a lot of things to do today, Huo San and I have been busy all day, we have been busy all day, and when we come out, it will be time for dinner, so let's have a meal, that's it, it's really nothing. ”

Old Madam Chen leaned at Li Qingning and did not speak.

"Wife, actually," Li Qingning sighed a few times, "She's quite pitiful, no matter how ...... Alas, she is lonely and doesn't understand anything, I know A-Niang...... Alas, I don't know whose fault it is......"

"The Emperor's fault! And your dad. Old Madam Chen said very politely.

Li Qingning sighed, looked at Old Madam Chen, and spread her hands, "Then, look, right?" ”

"Yes, what, yes?" Old Madam Chen slapped Li Qingning on the head, "You don't know that this knife was stabbed in your mother's heart?" What do I watch? ”

"She didn't stab that, either." Li Qingning tilted his head back and avoided the second slap from Old Madam Chen.

"She didn't stab her, but she stabbed it!"

Old Madam Chen leaned forward and slapped Li Qingning.

"You unfilial person, you don't take care of your mother first, you take care of her!

I'm telling you, don't be a fool for me.

To live, this person must have a father and a mother first, your father doesn't mention it, your mother is not easy! You have to know who to kiss, you have to know who to take care of first, then in the law, there is a kiss to hide, if you dare to commit a bastard again, I will whip you with wattles, you try it! ”

"I didn't! I know it's with my mother. I just met her, had a meal, and came back with her, alas, I can't just beat and scold her when I see her, right? Alas! Is. Li Qingning sighed in annoyance.

"Third brother, let me tell you again, our family, today, your father has worked successfully for four years, and your mother has sixty percent!

Back then, the little guy next to the emperor went to the battlefield, if not ten, there were eight, how many survived? Just your father!

Why did your dad survive? It's because of your mother!

How many times did your mother pull your father out of the pile of dead?

Your father's body is covered with scars, those scars, if it weren't for your mother waiting for him day and night, he would have died I don't know how many times!

Your mother has fed him her own blood, and more than once.

Your father has no conscience, you can't have no conscience! ”

Mrs. Chen said a slap, and Li Qingning was about to be beaten by her.

"I know, I know, alas, don't fight, wife, it's not me who has no conscience, don't fight, mother-in-law, daddy is uncomfortable, you're not ......"

"He deserves it!" Old Madam Chen wiped away her tears, "Although he crawled out of my stomach, I don't feel sorry for him, he deserves it!" Little San'er, you can't be as conscienceless as your father, your mother ......"

"I know, I know." Li Qingning sprang up, turned around, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Old Madam Chen.

Mrs. Chen wiped a few handfuls of tears and took the tea, "You children are better than your father and more sensible than your father." ”

"Wife, I know what you said, I understand everything, I am not unfilial to my mother. That is, alas. ”

Li Qingning sighed and said Li Ran's words to Mrs. Chen.

“…… Listen to this, woman, she lived seventeen years, she was in prison for seventeen years, and now, as if she were waiting to die, you say, let's ...... Alas, Mrs., what you just said is right, I know it, I didn't say anything else, but you say, from the time she came to our house, she ......."

Li Qingning waved his hand a few times, "I know everything clearly, you say, what can she do?" I'm not thinking about her, wife, I just feel that I can't bear to do anything more.

She said those few words, saying that no matter what happened in the future, whether there was a future or not, I burst into tears at that time.

She's the knife, but she's not wrong about it, isn't she? You are right, this is the emperor's fault, it is Daddy's fault, but if it is Daddy's fault...... That one...... What the ...... is that?"

Li Qingning looked at Old Madam Chen and spread her hands.

It's his father's fault, so it has to be their family's fault, right?

Mrs. Chen crossed Li Qingning for a while, sighed in one breath, leaned back on the pillow, and let out a long sigh, "Forget it, I won't talk about you, you just have a number in your own heart, you just remember not to make your aunt sad, alas." ”

"Don't worry, wife. Wife, that, does A-Niang know about today's matter? Li Qingning stood up and couldn't help but ask.

"What do you say? Are you stupid kid? Your aunt is in charge of this house, when will you come back, how did you come back, can she not know about this? "Old Madam Chen didn't have a good breath.

"Then A-Niang, are you angry?" Li Qingning lifted his heart.

"What are you angry about? Alas, your aunt's temper is stuffy in her heart, not like me.

You will be free tomorrow, go and talk to your mother, you will be the best at persuading your mother, you can persuade her more. Alas, what do you call it, okay, you go back and rest. ”

Old Madam Chen had a worried look on her face.

……………………

Li Ran listened to the book from the middle, heard the last one, and then started from the beginning.

For three or four days, Huo Wencan and Li Qingning did not go back.

Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If these two come over like this every day, she is afraid that her freedom and self-satisfaction will be gone.

She really likes and enjoys the freedom she has now.

From the beginning of the sound, until the first day of the sound, until the day before, Li Ran happily decided to review what he had heard again!

After reviewing the play, Li Ran sighed with satisfaction, drank half a cup of herbal tea, stood up, and just lifted the curtain and walked out of the private room, he saw Tao Nong.

Tao Nong smiled at her and beckoned, Li Ran hurriedly took a few steps over, Tao Nong looked at her and smiled: "How many days has the girl been here?" I've watched it once, and I'm going to watch it again? ”

"I've seen it once today." Li Ran said with a smile.

"The girl has been coming to watch the play day by day these days, and she is proud of the head of the Caixi class, and I can't walk anymore." Tao Nong walked out with Li Ran and said with a low smile.

Li Ran smiled.

"Can the girl give me a face and let me treat her to a meal?" Tao Nong then smiled, leaned back, and smiled with Zhou E: "General Zhou also rewarded me with a face." ”

Zhou E didn't speak, but with a smile on her face, she snorted at Li Ran.

Li Ran also looked back at Zhou E, and said with a smile with Taonong: "I'll invite you." ”

At this time, she has a golden page, and it is easy to get. Momono was certainly not as rich as she was.

"Look at what the girl said, although I am not like the girl, the gold pages are not used up, but I still have the money to invite the girl to a meal.

Don't hide it from the girl, if I sing a little song, no matter how much I have one or twenty taels of silver, it will only cost a few dollars to invite the girl to dinner? The girl just needs to give me this face. ”

Tao Nong looked very pleasant, let Li Ran out of the lotus shed, turned left and right, passed through an alley, and arrived at a two-story building with wide eaves and a sturdy and simple ......

Li Ran didn't know what to call it.

This is obviously a place to eat, under the wide corridor, there are piles of things in the east and west, and there are mostly flat stretches and hats next to the things, and there are several tables and bamboo chairs in the middle, the tables and chairs are very low, full of people, and there are many squatting people next to them, all holding big bowls, eating and drinking with snoring.

Seeing Li Ran's eyes wide open and looking around, Tao Nong smiled and said, "The girl has never been to this kind of place, has she?" Don't look at the place, the things are very good. ”

"Such a thing is called a foot shop." Zhou E added a sentence after Taonong.

Momonong's eyebrows raised, fell for a moment, sighed as if nothing, and then raised his voice, "Let's go in." Sister-in-law Wu, I've brought a distinguished guest, come out and greet you! ”

A woman about forty years old who looked very sharp walked out very quickly, and when she saw Li Ran from Zhou E, she sighed, "This is that girl?" Why are you so skinny? Say hello to the girl, say hello to General Zhou. ”

"Look at the chaos in your lobby, don't talk here, take us in." Momonong seemed to be very familiar with this sister-in-law Wu, and pushed her to talk and laugh.

"Girl, please, General Zhou, please." Sister-in-law Wu walked in front and led them around the stairs into a small room at the back.

"What's delicious today? I'll let you get ready. Momono asked with a smile before he entered the house.

"You didn't say when you would come."

Sister-in-law Wu answered while leaning over to let Li Ran and Zhou E sit.

"I bought a few good little cucumbers before, and they have already been sent, but it's too late to simmer at this time, or else, cut them into cubes, there are just some good small bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and chicken soup is also ready-made, how about simmering a bowl of soup?"

Sister-in-law Wu watched Li Ran speak.

Li Ran just smiled, she has always been polite, and she really doesn't know much about eating.

"Okay, the soup is here, what about the rest?" While talking to Sister-in-law Wu, Momonong helped make tea with a cup.

"Just simmered a whole pig's head......"

"Alas, there is a blessing! That's it. ”

Sister-in-law Wu's words were interrupted by a surprised sigh from Momonong.

"Stir-fry shrimp oil tofu, simmer yellow sprouts with ham slices, and stir-fry radish with lard residue, is it enough?" Sister-in-law Wu then asked with a smile.

"If you have buns, it's enough to take two more cages, and you want bean sprouts vermicelli vegetarian buns." Momono's happy eyebrows fluttered.

Li Ran laughed when she heard this, she liked to listen to them come and go like this to discuss what to eat, and she liked the homely shortness in this kind of fireworks.

"Then I'm going to stir-fry, you greet the girl and General Zhou for me." Sister-in-law Wu confessed and hurried out.

"Sister-in-law Wu's simmering pig's head is sweet, and she pays great attention to the heat, and the pig's head meat I have eaten is the best simmered by Sister-in-law Wu, a must!"

Tao Nong sat down and smiled with Li Ran and Zhou E.

After a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who looked very much like Wu's sister-in-law held a tray and sent a few side dishes such as sour cabbage, diced radish, shredded bamboo shoots in sesame oil and small salted fish.

Tao Nong took out a few side dishes from the tray and put them in front of Li Ran, "Girl, taste this, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is." ”

The salted fish is very small, Li Ran took one and put it in his mouth, and the more he chewed it, the more fragrant it became.

"Do you have any wine?" Zhou E also took one and put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, looked at Tao Nong and asked.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it."

Momonon laughed, turned around and went out, carrying two bottles of wine in his hand, and came back quickly, "This is my wine, sent to her here, the best peach blossom brew." ”

Momonong poured three glasses of wine, and the little girl just now came in again, this time only a steaming stone deep plate was placed in the tray, and together with the tray, it was carefully placed in the middle of the table.

Zhou E stretched out her head to look, sniffed, grabbed the chopsticks and picked up the juice-drenched piece first, blew it, put it in her mouth, and raised her chewing eyebrows. swallowed the pig's head meat, took a sip of wine, exhaled, and said with a smile: "This is delicious, it is indeed a must." Let them cut another plate, this plate is not enough. ”

Li Ran was also amazed by the food, this pig's head meat is glutinous but not greasy, the entrance is both melted but the muscles and teeth are elastic, it is indeed delicious.

Momonong laughed, shouted happily, and asked Sister-in-law Wu to cut another plate of pork head meat.

Shrimp oil tofu and other dishes also came up quickly, Li Ran has eaten everything, all extremely delicious, and then drank half a bowl of sea cucumber soup, ate a bean sprouts vermicelli vegetarian bun, only eat satisfied, very happy.

Zhou E ate at least half of the pig's head meat alone, and then drank a bowl of sea cucumber soup, looking satisfied and happy.

Momono's eyes were crooked.

A few people came out after eating, called a car, Tao Nong watched Li Ran and Zhou E get in the car and leave, said goodbye to Wu's sister-in-law, and went back to the residence along the lively street.
