Chapter 76: From Here to There
When Li Ran got off the bus at the door of Wu's sister-in-law's foot shop, outside Wu's sister-in-law's foot shop, a group of rough envoys who went out were around.
Outside the rough mother-in-law, the doors of several adjacent shops are half-open and half-hidden.
Half of the street, behind the crack in the door, in the window, a pair of eyes stared at Wu's sister-in-law's foot shop, watching the movement with their hearts, and there were many bold ones, standing on the corner of the street, holding their hands and stretching their necks to watch the excitement.
Seeing Li Ran standing a few steps outside the door of the foot shop, looking into the foot shop, Huo Wencan grabbed Li Qingning, who was about to rush in with his feet raised.
At this time, it was a place to eat, and in the foot shop that was supposed to be very lively, only Li Qingrou and others sat in the center, and there were girls and women standing around.
Li Qingrou sat with an unhappy face, Sun Miaoniang and Gao Guiying sat on both sides of Li Qingrou on the left and right, and were giving orders to the frightened sister-in-law Wu, and the other two girls sat down, nodding and clapping their hands and talking.
“…… I'm most tired of this red-edged dish, you look at this red, it's ugly to death, quickly change it, and don't use it again in the future! ”
Gao Guiying carried a plate containing only sugar lotus root and threw it into the hands of the little girl standing beside her in disgust.
"I don't like these messy paintings, it's too vulgar, take it down quickly, don't hang it in the future."
Sun Miaoniang was extremely disgusted, and pointed to the festive and auspicious paintings such as bangs and golden toads hanging on the wall.
Li Ran looked at Sister-in-law Wu, who was blue and embarrassed by Gao Guiying and Sun Miaoniang, and felt guilty in her heart, this was the trouble she brought her.
Li Ran took a few steps forward and entered the foot shop, Wang Ji followed Li Ran closely, and looked at Sister-in-law Wu from the few people sitting at the table, full of sympathy.
Li Qingning couldn't bear it anymore, took a few steps forward, grabbed in front of Li Ran, looked at Li Qingrou and frowned and reprimanded: "Sister Rou, what are you doing here?" ”
"Three sons! Third brother. Li Qingrou saw Huo Wencan at the back first, she was surprised and delighted, and after jumping up, she saw her third brother.
"Third brother! The third son. Sun Miaoniang saw Li Qingning first, and her eyes lit up and rushed forward.
"Three sons!" Gao Guiying was close to the door, and she also rushed out, side by side with Li Qingrou, with two smiling trumpet flowers.
Gao Guiying greeted Huo Wencan and glanced at Li Qingrou proudly.
It was her idea to come and eat pig's head meat, take a look, sure enough, the third son is also here!
Sister-in-law Wu, who had been standing with her hands bowed, closed her eyes slightly, slowly exhaled, and bent her knees at Li Ran, "Girl." ”
Li Ran bowed slightly to her, she was full of guilt for her.
"How did you get here?" Huo Wencan subconsciously took a step back at the two people who pounced.
"Come and eat the pig's head meat, the pig's head meat here is delicious!" Gao Guiying grabbed ahead of Li Qingrou and replied loudly.
"Sister Lin said that you came here to eat pig's head meat before, and said that the third prince likes the pig's head meat here." Li Qing spoke softly and softly to Huo Wencan, but the person was in front of Huo Wencan, glaring at Li Ran fiercely one after another.
"What's so delicious about this pig's head? You don't even eat pork ......" Li Qingning shook off the folding fan in a hurry, and his breath was a little messy.
"That's right." Sun Miaoniang hurriedly answered.
"What's that, how delicious is the pig's head meat, isn't it the third son?"
Gao Guiying pushed Sun Miaoniang.
"It's just that this is not good, the third son, you smell it, and the house is full of smells, and the third prince hates the smell of the most, right?
This pig's head meat is roasted, but the seasoning is a little worse, the third prince said yes?
I was just teaching her! ”
Gao Gui is heroic and high-spirited.
Recently, from the fourth lady over there, she realized a truth.
That is: the third son likes to be knowledgeable, courageous, and dare to say and do.
She has all of these, her knowledge must be much stronger than the person who heard that she has been imprisoned as a prisoner for more than ten years, she also has this courage, she has always dared to do it!
She's got to show it!
Huo Wencan ignored her.
"I think so too!"
Sun Miaoniang looked at Li Qingning, and saw that his brows were twisted, and she was a little distressed, it must be this smell of smoke, the third brother is such an elegant person!
"I also told the mother-in-law just now, she is too inelegant in this store, third brother, look, what is hanging on this wall, it is too ugly, I have let her take it down."
"Forget about painting, third son, look at it." Gao Guiying hurriedly grabbed the words: "The doors and windows are so wide open, there is not even a screen, what should I do with this mosquito?" How does this make people eat and drink tea? ”
Gao Guiying was extremely imposing, and as she spoke, she made a circle with her fingers.
"This is not where you should be, let's go." Li Qingning was ten years old, pushed Li Qingrou, turned around and was about to go out.
"You can't say that!" Gao Guiying was even more proud, "She's doing business, this is doing business, can she just say that it's not where you came, and drive the guests out?"
Is there a business that does this? ”
Li Qingning swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva angrily.
Wang Yi's eyebrows were raised, and she looked Gao Guiying up and down, silently admiring in her heart, she used to look down on this Gao lady, and today is really an eye-opener.
"Okay, good, people do business, we don't do it, we don't care. If you think it's not good here or there, then let's change it, okay? ”
Li Qingning was a little incoherent, he didn't want to say more, he just wanted to get them away quickly!
What a shame!
"That's even more wrong, why should I change it?"
Facing Huo Wencan's two raised eyebrows and widening eyes, Gao Guiying's momentum suddenly exploded to the roof.
She succeeded! The third prince is impressed by her!
"Open the door to do business, the most important thing is to satisfy the guests, this business, the guests are the food and clothing parents! How can you offend your parents?
If you offend your parents, can this business continue?
I don't like it, let her change, she has to change, until I'm satisfied.
That's how you do business! ”
Li Qingning blinked quickly, and Huo Wencan's stunned mouth was almost closed.
Wang Ji looked Gao Guiying up and down again, she didn't know how to describe her mood anymore.
"Don't have anything to say?" Gao Guiying raised her chin, snorted at Li Qingning, and turned to Huo Wencan, who was looking at her dumbfounded: "Third son, did you say it?" ”
"That's a good point." Li Ran glanced at Sister-in-law Wu, who was pale, and stepped forward with a smile.
Gao Guiying subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to look at Li Ran, staring sideways at the smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth, her heart tightened, and she caught a glimpse of Huo Wencan in a blink of an eye, and quickly stood on her heels, trying to straighten her chest.
She's not afraid of her! She's guts! Courage and knowledge!
"The guest is the food and clothing parents, you are the guest, so you are the food and clothing parents, let the food and clothing parents be satisfied, that is to make you satisfied, that's really good."
Li Ran took a step forward, reached out and picked up a piece of pig's head meat from the table, and lifted it in front of Gao Guiying.
"The sage said, the emperor also said, the people take food as the sky, but everything that can be eaten is food, this piece of pig's head meat is food, this is the sky.
You and I are both people.
The people take food as the sky, and the heaven and earth are the teachers.
Come, to this day, kneel down and kowtow. ”
Gao Guiying couldn't react at all to the piece of pig's head meat that Li Ran held up in front of her.
"You, come here."
Seeing that Gao Guiying was stunned, Li Ran beckoned to the girl who called Gao Guiying.
"Take your girl this day, hold it for your girl, and take it back for the ancestral tablet in your house."
Huo Wencanyuan stared at his eyes, and from the piece of pig's head meat, he saw Li Ran, who was clapping his hands indifferently, suddenly slammed the folding fan, stomped his feet, and burst into laughter.
Li Qingning, who was stunned, was sobered up by Huo Wencan's smile, slapped his forehead, and dragged Li Qingrou out.
Wang Ji's two eyebrows couldn't be higher, and he laughed out loud unceremoniously.
Sun Miaoniang didn't react, and followed Li Qingrou, who was dragged by Li Qingning, and hurriedly ran out.
Gao Guiying burst into tears.
She didn't understand at all what was wrong with her, a food and clothing parent? How did you get a piece of pig's head? And, how did that piece of pig's head meat become the ancestor of her family?
She was pointed at by Huo Wencan, stomped her feet and laughed wildly, laughing and crying.
Several mothers-in-law supported her and came out of the wilderness.
Zhou E had just arrived, her chest was slightly undulating, holding her arms against the door frame of the store, watching the laughter and crying outside the store, watching Li Ran come out and follow her.
Momino stood across the street, looking out.
"I'm sorry for you to send the sixth lady back, I want to take a walk with General Zhou." Li Ran looked at Huo Wencan and said.
Huo Wencan's tears of laughter came out, looked at Zhou E, wanted to say something, but didn't say it, only nodded.
Wang Ji looked at Li Ran with concern.
Li Ran met her gaze and smiled: "It's okay, I want to walk alone." ”
"Okay." Wang Ji didn't say a word, bent his knees goodbye to Li Ran, and got into the car.
Huo Wencan took a step forward, bent down slightly, and looked at Li Ran carefully.
Li Ran smiled at him, "It's really fine." ”
"Hmm." Huo Wencan breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand at Li Ran, and got on the horse.
Li Ran looked back at the foot shop, and Sister-in-law Wu met her gaze and smiled at her.
Li Ran lowered her head and walked north along the street.
On the other side of the street, Tao Nong waved his hand at Zhou E and went to Wu's sister-in-law's foot shop.
Li Ran, as usual, walked unhurriedly, glancing at the shops on both sides of the street from time to time.
After passing the North Wazi, Li Ran paused, glanced at Zhou E, lowered his eyes, "Go to the Eight Immortal Tower......
Zhou E looked at her and didn't speak.
Li Ran was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked forward.
The two passed by the Eight Immortal Tower, Li Ran did not pause, Zhou E did not speak, only followed her, crossed the Eight Immortal Tower, and after the Wanshou Temple, Li Ran paused, looking at the large darkness in front of him, and the noodle restaurant with lanterns hanging high at the mouth of the alley.
He said that it has been ten days, and today is the ninth day.
Li Ran walked towards the alley.
The noodle shop was full of people and lively, and the alley beyond the noodle shop was quiet and deserted.
Li Ran walked through the alley, stopped, and hung his head; "Let's go back."
On this day, she walked too far, she was too tired, and her legs were very sore and painful.
……………………
At the time of the day, in the Jinghua Palace.
Xie Ze followed behind the prince and entered the Jinghua Palace.
Facing Huo Wencan, Li Qingning and the others who came up, the prince looked at Huo Wencan and Li Qingning, "Daddy said, you two have been taught a lesson by your fourth sister?" ”
"What happened last night?" Huo Wencan didn't finish a sentence, and then laughed, "It's not to teach me and Li San, it's ......"
Facing Li Qingning's gaze, Huo Wencan's tongue turned and skipped Li Qingrou.
"I taught the second lady of Zhongyibo's mansion a lesson, and the girl of Zhongyongbo's mansion, this matter ......"
Huo Wencan couldn't stop laughing.
"That's the case......" Li Qingning took over and didn't talk much, starting from when they heard that his third sister and they went to eat pig's head meat.
Li Qingning and Huo Wencan, you and I will say one sentence, speaking of Li Ran's carrying a piece of pig's head meat to make Gao Guiying kneel down and kowtow, the prince burst out laughing, and looked at Xie Ze while laughing, "This little girl ......"
The corners of Xie Ze's mouth picked up a smile that seemed to be nothing, and he didn't know where to look without focus.
The prince didn't meet Xie Ze's gaze, turned his gaze to look at Huo Wencan and the others who were smiling, coughed twice with a smile, reached out to pick up the tea, and the cup was just brought to his mouth, and suddenly stopped.
What did he see just now?
The prince was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned his head and squinted at the faint smile on the corner of Xie Ze's mouth.
Seeing it clearly at a glance, the prince hurriedly turned his head, brought the cup to his mouth, and held it hard, but his eyes were still wide.
What did he see?
That's a laugh?
What's wrong? Something happened that he didn't know!
Just now......
The prince glared at Li Qingning, and then looked at Huo Wencan.
Li Qingning and Huo Wencan were uncomfortable when he looked at him, you look at me, I look at you, looked at the prince together, and were hesitating whether it was time to ask, the prince slapped on the couch and laughed again.
"Interesting, that's a lot of fun! Good, that's great! “
Huo Wencan and Li Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and laughed together.
"The two little ladies of Zhongyi Bofu and Zhongyong Bofu are very good with your third sister, and they are very reasonable?" The prince smiled, looked at Li Qingning and asked.
"It's good, it's not very reasonable." Li Qingning's face was about to turn red.
"Self-cultivation Qi family, you sister, you have to spend some effort to teach and teach well.
This business is a business, you buy him and he sells, a fair deal, he makes your money, but doesn't he give you convenience? If no one sells the needlework hoe, would it be difficult to strike iron yourself?
There is also this food and clothing parents, according to what she said, the food and clothing parents are her, and the emperor said that when the court should serve all the people, wouldn't that be to give her one person with the court? ”
When Li Qingning heard the prince say this, his frightened face turned white, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"You get up, not you. The little girl's family, you can't study, but you can't be unreasonable.
After a while, you go to the mansion of Uncle Zhongyong and Uncle Zhongyi, tell them what you just said, and then tell them, and ask a reasonable gentleman to teach and teach the children in your family well. ”
After a pause, the prince continued: "Tell Sun Qiang again, think about it, and think clearly about what filial piety is." ”
Li Qingning bowed down and agreed.
……………………
There were still more than ten steps away from the noodle restaurant at the mouth of the alley, and Li Ran saw Xie Ze standing in the warm lantern light.
Li Ran grabbed her skirt and rushed to Xie Ze in a few steps, looking up at him with a smile on her face.
"Run for what." Xie Ze's upper body leaned back slightly, and he looked at Li Ran with a little disgust.
"Hmm." Li Ran lowered her head and moved back.
Xie Ze turned and stepped forward, "Yesterday came. ”
"Hmm." Li Ran followed Xie Ze and looked down from his broad shoulders little by little.
A straight back, a jade belt around his waist, and a hand behind his back......
Xie Ze stepped out of the lantern light and stepped into the clear light of the full moon.
Li Ran looked at the black robe that fell from time to time and the pair of black thin-soled shoes that were lifted from time to time.
"Ten days yesterday?" Xie Ze glanced at Li Ran.
"You said ten days, but you didn't say more than ten days." Li Ran looked at it again, and his eyes fell on Xie Zesong's loosely clasped hands.
Xie Ze stood still, looked sideways at Li Ran, and for a moment, snorted as if he didn't have anything, "What are you looking at?" ”
"No ......" Li Ran was a little embarrassed by his question.
Xie Ze paused slightly, raised his chin at Li Ran, motioned her forward, and saw that she was side by side with him before continuing to walk forward.
"Got into a fight with someone again yesterday?"
Li Ran was stunned, "If you don't fight, you are reasonable." ”
Again? Who did she fight with? Has she ever fought?
Xie Ze looked at her sideways, and for a moment, snorted.
Li Ran hung her head and followed him and turned into the alley.
Walking all the way to the lake, Xie Ze stopped.
Li Ran also stood and looked at Xie Ze beside her, she was side by side with him. It doesn't seem like much.
Li Ran hesitated and took half a step back, but just now, he asked her to move forward, and now she is lagging behind, isn't it not good? Li Ran took another half step forward.
With her toes on a line like this, she had to turn her head ninety degrees to see him, which was inconvenient, well, it was better to step back a little.
Xie Ze looked sideways at Li Ran, who was working for a while, and went back and forth three or four times.
"What's wrong?"
"General Zhou said that she and I are side by side, but they are not respectful enough." Li Rancong and Xie Ze stood side by side and took half a step back.
"And what about going forward?" Xie Ze's eyebrows raised slightly.
"You just told me to move forward."
"What about yourself? Want to go forward or here? Xie Ze was a little speechless.
"I just can't make up my mind." Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze.
"You can do whatever you want."
"That's, that's it." Li Ran was standing half a step behind Xie Ze.
"Because of respect?" Xie Ze glanced at Li Ran.
"It looks convenient, too." Li Ran looked at Xie Ze's clothes, and his voice was very soft.
Xie Ze's eyebrows raised, and it took a moment to fall, leaning at Li Ran, for a while, and asked slowly, "Haven't you been looking at those ushers recently?" ”
"The third brother said that the girl's family doesn't look good at that." Li Ran turned his mind carefully and looked at Xie Ze.
Xie Ze bowed slightly, met Li Ran's gaze at him, approached her face, and looked carefully for a while.
"You seem to like it because it's good-looking? Why is it good-looking? ”
"They are all good-looking people, people are the spirit of all things, good-looking people, they are good-looking everywhere."
Li Ran: This is the truth, she has always felt that the body of a beautiful woman is the best work of art.
Xie Ze raised his eyebrows again, looked sideways at Li Ran, and after a while, snorted.
"You little girl, you have a lot of careful eyes, and you are also very good at sophistry."
Li Ran lowered her eyes.
His words didn't seem very good, but the feeling he gave her was nothing bad.
"Hmm." Xie Ze held two round and green citrus aurantiums in his palms and sent them to Li Ran.
Li Ran took the citrus orange from Xie Ze's hand and held it in his hand to look at it carefully.
"You can't eat it, just play with it." Xie Ze solemnly confessed.
Li Ran glanced at Xie Ze's clothes, this is citrus aurantium, of course she can't eat it, can she still not know this.
"Let's go back." Xie Ze said, stepping forward.
Li Ran hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked along the lake for a small half circle, and when they saw the lights of Xiaoyan Temple from a distance, Xie Ze stopped and raised his hand.
Li Ran's big car caught up.
Li Ran got into the car and looked at Xie Ze, who was looking at her with his hands behind his back, until he couldn't see it.
Zhou E sat in front of the car, and from Xie Ze, who could no longer be seen, he squinted his eyes at Li Ran, who looked down at the two citrus oranges in his hand.
Now, she is even more uncertain about this, and her heart is even more bottomless.
