Li Ran, like a few days ago, came out of the Chang'an Hou Mansion after lunch, walked to the street, looked left and right, looked back at Zhou E and asked, "Which are the cars that pull people?" How do I order a taxi? ”

Zhou E took two steps forward, looked at it, and waved at a big car that looked very clean and neat surrounded by indigo coarse cloth.

The coachman, who was holding the mule pulling the cart, and glanced at Li Ran from time to time, suddenly smiled, and the whip in his hand made a crisp sound, pulled the mule, and trotted over.

"Where are the two girls going? Girl, look, this car circumference and this mat have just been washed and replaced. The middle-aged coachman took four or five steps away, pulled the mule and turned around, and said with a smile as he bowed.

"Go to Riva, the Lotus Shed." Li Ran replied, paused, and asked, "How much?" ”

"Reward with the girl." The middle-aged coachman kept nodding his head.

"I don't reward people, I only pay for the car, how much?" Li Ran frowned.

She hates this casual reward, just like in the past, when she had to give a tip, she had a headache when she went back, she had been poor for more than 20 years, and she couldn't be generous in rewarding people.

"...... Anywhere"

"Call another one." Li Ran took a step back and said to Zhou E.

"Ten...... Fifteen...... Ten big bucks, ten big bucks. The middle-aged coachman hurriedly shouted.

"Hmm." Li Ran lowered her head, counted out ten big coins from her purse, reached out and handed it to the coachman, hugged the cloak and skirt, stepped on the pedals put down by the coachman, sat on the car, and raised her hand to hang the curtain high.

Zhou E jumped in front of the car and sat down, and the coachman led the mule to Riva.

Although this big car can be regarded as walking, the pace of the coachman is much faster than that of Li Ran, and it didn't take long for the car to stop outside the Lotus Shed in Riva.

Li Ran stood outside the lotus shed and turned around first.

It is really much more lively here than the west tile of the city, the oblique side of the lotus shed, is a circular building of about the same size as the lotus shed, is the gong and drum noisy, two groups of men with bare arms, you have a gong and I have a drum, the screaming is earth-shattering, in the winter, the feeling of summer is roared.

But Li Ran couldn't hear what they were shouting.

In front of the side of the lotus shed, a huge circular building the size of two peony sheds was a little shocked.

Li Ran had enough of looking around before going to the lotus shed.

To buy a ticket to watch a play in the studio, this Li Ran is familiar with the way, and saw a table outside a small door from a distance, and went straight over.

Next to the small table, there were seven or eight people standing or sitting, all staring at Li Ran who was coming straight to them with two big eyes.

The middle-aged fat man sitting on a broken bamboo chair saw Zhou E following behind Li Ran at a glance, jumped up, tripped on the leg of the chair with one foot, fell back with his butt, and smashed the broken bamboo chair on the spot.

Among the seven or eight people, some hurriedly pulled up the embarrassed middle-aged fat man, and some hurriedly stepped forward and rushed at Li Ran and Zhou E, some were long, some were half-kneeling, and some kept nodding and bowing.

The middle-aged fat man's movement was too big, Li Ran watched him being helped up, followed the fat man's frightened gaze, and looked sideways at Zhou E.

Zhou E put her hands behind her back and looked cold.

Li Ran turned his gaze back and looked at the few people in front of him, "I want a private room." ”

"The private room has not been ...... for a long time"

A thin man in the middle had a sharp head, but his mouth was fast, and as soon as he said a few words, he was slapped away by a white-faced middle-aged man standing next to him.

"The girl must be in a good private room, the girl will invite a cup of tea inside, and let the villain dispatch one or two, and it will be a while."

Li Ran hesitated, it seems that the private room is gone, who does he want to transfer one room out of his scheduling?

This group of people seemed to recognize her at a glance, is she already so famous?

Li Ran looked at the white middle-aged man: "I'll go around casually, and I'll come back in a while, if not, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, girl, there must be."

The white middle-aged man bowed again and again, watched Li Ran turn around, looked at Li Ran's back and smiled, he had already reached out and grabbed the thin man who had just talked a lot, leaned into his ear, and reprimanded him with his wrong teeth: "Next time, dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu cut your tongue!" ”

"Yes, yes......" The thin man craned his neck and agreed repeatedly.

"Fatty, you hurry up and go to Ma's house, his house is the closest to here, tell Second Master Ma, his private room, let's buy it back for ten taels of silver, and then tell him that this private room is vacated for the girl in Chang'an Houfu, go quickly!"

After the thin man finished speaking, the white middle-aged man shook off the thin man and said to the fat man who had just fallen.

The fat man agreed, and at the same time threw off his arms and ran out, the fat man was fat and fat, and he ran fast.

The white middle-aged man pulled a young man with long legs again, "You go to greet the second master Liu, it's time to be on the way, tell him, the girl from the Chang'an Hou Mansion is going to come to see the play, can you change him to a second-class private room, don't mention the silver, I will ask the big boss to thank him in person in a while." ”

"The second master is at ease." The young man threw off his long legs and ran as fast as he could.

"You, come here!" Second, the master beckoned again.

……

Li Ran walked around the largest elephant shed in front of him and came back, the white middle-aged man with a few bright beads of sweat on his forehead, took a few steps, and said with a smile: "It's all arranged, Fuzi private room, girl here, please." ”

"How much silver?" Li Ran didn't move, looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

"It's an honor for the little people to come, how dare you ......" The middle-aged man didn't finish speaking, seeing Li Ran's annoying frown, the tone of his words changed sharply, "Three taels of silver." ”

"The peony shed is five taels of silver, why are you cheap here?" Li Ran frowned and asked.

"Back to the girl, in the scene of the peony shed, there was Miss Taonon singing a little song.

When Miss Momonong sang in the lotus shed, the best private room in the lotus shed was also five taels, the second first class two taels of silver, added to three taels, and the first class one or two again, added to one or two cents. There is no additional price for separate seats.

Other famous horns, too, look at the size of the horns, plus more and less. The famous characters in our capital are all supported by nobles.

Caixi Ban has just arrived in the capital, and after this play, the best private room is only afraid that it will cost five taels of silver. ”

The middle-aged man explained very carefully.

Li Ran snorted, lowered his head and took out a gold scroll from his purse, and handed it to the middle-aged man, "If you want to have change, it's best to give me a silver horn." ”

When I bought the scenery map last time, there was a five-cent silver horn in the middle of the broken silver recovered, which was very convenient to use.

"Yes, yes, yes." The middle-aged man didn't dare to say more than a word, so he quickly weighed the gold page, picked the silver slots for the more than one or two silver he recovered, found a tea tray to hold, and sent it to Li Ran.

Li Ran took the silver horn, followed the middle-aged man, and entered the lotus shed.

The lotus shed is full, and it is also very lively, but this excitement is not like the peony shed that clapps and stomps for a while, deafening, and silent for a while.

The bustle here is like the rain of the rainy season, buzzing and buzzing all the time, and the buzzing sound rises for a while, like a storm, and then the buzzing sound falls again, fine and dense like a gentle wind and drizzle.

Li Ran had just sat down, and the gongs and drums on the stage sounded, and the curtain opened.

A red-clothed clown who was only six or seven years old as a child turned quickly with one hand and covered his head with one hand, and rushed out from the corner behind the stage.

On the stage several feet long, he was chased out of a big drama with ups and downs by two corners.

The clown ran to the other corner of the stage and jumped up, only to find that the short clown had a pair of long legs.

Li Ran couldn't help but applaud, it was the first time she had seen such a skilled dwarf.

In the next few hat scenes, Li Ran felt that she somewhat understood why these were called Xiaoyan Duan, which was indeed colorful, and it was the same as those who attracted visitors to the peony shed.

Zhou E, who was sitting behind Li Ran's side, squinted at Li Ran, who was clapping and laughing from time to time when she looked at Xiao Yanduan, and suddenly woke up, this girl, I'm afraid I don't know what you are going to and from on that stage, right?

Well, it is very likely, it must be so, before this girl came to the capital, she had never been out of the small courtyard in Shanxian County, how could she know about the matter between men and women?

She certainly doesn't know!

Would you like to remind her?

How to remind? How so?

I can't say.

From the time she watched the visitors in the peony shed, to now, there is no one in the circle of people who speak, if she does, it will be a lot of mouth.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, Momono's sentence is very good, men can see beauties, why can't women? Men can read meat jokes, why can't women?

Besides, this girl can't be an ordinary person anyway, since she is not an ordinary person, it's good to live happily, just look at it.

Li Ran happily finished reading Xiaoyan's paragraph, and then watched the cave spirit record.

She has loved watching dramas since she was a child.

From the time she can remember, until she went to college, she was so rich that she was willing to spend money to watch a movie.

One year, during the Chinese New Year, a big drama was invited in the village behind the primary school, and she sang it for half a month, and she watched it for half a month.

In several scenes, she was the only one standing in the audience to watch, and she felt very happy, because she also wrote an essay to praise the dedication of the grass stage team.

It was not until later that she learned that the big drama that the village invited for half a month was used to worship the ancestors, and that drama was not sung to the living at all.

She also knew why the teacher laughed while reading her essay back then.

Those grass stage teams can't be compared with the Caixi class in front of them, as Tao Nong said, every corner of this play is a real corner, all of them are wonderful.

Li Ran didn't even bother to drink the tea, and after watching the play, she was satisfied.

When she came out of the lotus shed, it was already dark, but the whole Riva was full of fire and people, and it was more lively than when she came.

On this day, I learned to call a taxi on the street, walked from Xicheng Wazi to Liva, listened to a wonderful play, and there were countless bustles in front of me, Li Ran was in a happy and flying mood.

"Let's go back after dinner, what's good to eat around here?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E and smiled.

"This neighborhood is all delicious, not far from the front is Fanlou, there is an old Song family shop over there, and there is a Ma Dangtou soup shop, and the old Xu family is also good over there." Zhou E seemed to be in a good mood, and recommended several in one go.

"Let's go to the old Xu family first, and eat one by one." Li Ran followed the direction of Zhou E's last finger.

Zhou E followed behind with her hands behind her back.

The old Xu family broke through the cognition that Li Ran had just realized.

This one is called Laohao, which is a little more luxurious than Qingfeng Building, of course, it may also be because it is at night, under all kinds of lanterns with tassels and colorful lights, it looks more luxurious and rich than during the day.

Entering the Huan Gate, Li Ran's eyes widened at the beauties in gorgeous clothes on the left and right rows in the lobby.

The two rows of beauties in gorgeous clothes also stared at Li Ran and Zhou E behind Li Ran in surprise and curiosity.

Li Ran wanted to turn around and ask Zhou E, is this a place to eat or a place to have fun, but as soon as this idea was born, she snuffed it out, since Zhou E recommended it, it is naturally a place to eat.

The people who opened the door to do business were all exquisite, and Dr. Tea and Wine led Li Ran to the private room on the second floor.

Li Ran sat down, looked at the simmer who was busy setting up snacks and making tea, and asked, "What are the two rows of beauties downstairs for?" ”

Yan Yan wanted to laugh and held back, "It's not useful...... It's not just a use, it's for guests to listen to a song, or something else. ”

Li Ran also wanted to listen to a song, but when the words came to his lips, he held back, today's attempt is enough, this little song, I'll talk about it later.

I can't be happy, I can't eat anything, and I have to leave a line in everything.

Li Ran asked for the best things in the store and a pot of wine as usual, and Zhou E finally stopped eating noodles and replaced them with two clear oil baked cakes and a bowl of seafood soup.

After eating enough, Li Ran walked through Panlou Street, which was lined with shops, and walked in the direction of Chang'an Houfu.

At night, Panlou Street is more lively and prosperous than during the day. Under the eaves of the shops on both sides, lanterns are hung one after the other, one by one.

The inside of the shops is brighter, and it looks like they are doing big business, and the figures inside are shaking, and the counters and cabinets are shiny with lacquer and pearlescent light.

Li Ran looked flawlessly, and in a trance, she remembered the street market in the sky, the lanterns were the stars of the world, and the shops in the street were all treasures that she had never seen.

Li Ran watched as he walked, slowly passed through Panlou Street, and entered an alley.

The alley is quiet, and the starry lanterns and the hustle and bustle are gradually falling behind.

Today is the full moon, Li Ran looked up at the bright and gentle bright moon, and couldn't help laughing, it's so good today.

Li Ran walked leisurely in the alley, far ahead, two palpitating bright lights flashed out and came slowly.

Li Ran stood still, looking at the two extremely bright light clusters and the black shadow that could already see the outline, and only felt that the blood on his body was about to coagulate.

The two lights, the shadows...... She can already see clearly!

It was a huge tiger, black on a white background, and in the moonlight, its fur was shiny and shiny, and she even saw its sharp and shiny teeth and heard its low roar.
