Chapter 19: Unpleasant
Huo Wencan stared at the drip, waited for more than a quarter of an hour, took a deep breath, and instructed the little servant, "Go up and have a look." ”
The little guy answered with his hand down and trotted upstairs.
He was more anxious than his third son.
The third son of his family still has official business in the afternoon, and the time to eat at noon is limited, and if he delays for a while, the third son of his family will not be able to eat a bite of lunch today.
is hungry for the third son, this is just that these little servants are not waiting well, even if they don't deduct the monthly money, it is an extremely shameless thing.
The little maid walked briskly, went to the door of the private room, and said respectfully through the curtain: "Girl, the car is ready, and our third master has been waiting downstairs." ”
Li Ran just filled some mutton soup, motioned for the simmer to lift the curtain, looked at the little servant and said, "Didn't I tell you the third master just now, I don't need him to send it, I'll go back by myself." Thank you again for me, and tell him that I will go back by myself. ”
The little guy lowered his eyelids, bowed his body, took two steps back, and turned to go downstairs.
Huo Wencang shook the corner of his robe angrily, rushed upstairs, and shook off the curtain of the private room.
Zhou E hurriedly turned around, glanced at Huo Wencan, turned around and continued to drink tea.
She doesn't care about such idle things, and it can't be her turn.
"Little sister is not thoughtful, I have already made amends to the girl, and the girl still takes Qiao like this, it's too much!" Huo Wencan was really angry.
This girl is so unlikable.
Li Ran blinked a few times when she heard this.
It's funny that he actually thinks so.
"Didn't I tell you just now, first, Sister Ling is very good, second, I don't need you to send it, third, eat a good meal, I have to go shopping, go shopping until dark, and then have dinner before I can go back."
"You!" Huo Wencan's face turned blue with anger, "No wonder ......" rushed halfway through the words, Huo Wencan swallowed the second half hard, snorted, and turned to leave.
Li Ran took a sip of wine, thinking that Huo Wencan was no wonder.
Why not? No wonder everyone doesn't like her?
She's unlikable, she was, and certainly even more so now.
Li Ran ate and drank slowly, drank a few more cups of tea, and when he took out the golden page and was ready to settle the bill, more than two quarters of an hour had passed.
Without waiting for her to speak, Yan Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The third prince has already cleared the account." ”
Li Ran let out a low sigh, put away the gold page, and went downstairs.
Sure enough, the little guy who went upstairs to urge her just now was waiting at the top of the stairs, and when he saw her coming down, he took a step forward and said, "My third master ordered the little one to wait here and wait for the girl to return home." ”
Li Ran stopped, and after a moment, motioned to the little servant, "Let's go." ”
Zhou E followed behind, and looked at Li Ran who followed the little girl to the side door to get into the car with some surprise.
She thought she was going to go shopping until after dark, and then go back after dinner.
Li Ran returned to the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion.
This time is different from the last time, when she entered Cuiweiju, the girl in Cuiweiju was the same as when she went out, no one was missing.
As soon as she entered the house, she had a hot handkerchief to wipe her face and hot tea to moisten her throat.
Only Qiu Yue, her face was quite unsightly, and there seemed to be a little tear in the corner of her eyes.
After the third lady left, she was first trained by her wife, and then by the old lady, and at this time, her heart was still full of overwhelming grievances.
What's wrong with her?
What can she do with such a girl? What could she do?
Aren't there no way for the lady and the old lady to take her?
She doesn't want to be this big girl at all!
……………………
Huo Wencan really couldn't eat at noon, so he returned to the house, changed his clothes, wrapped a bag of snacks and brought them, and hurried out of the city to check the winter clothes that had just arrived in the Gyeonggi Daying, dozens of miles away.
It didn't take long to arrive at the Gyeonggi camp, and the little guy who stayed in Fengle Building to send Li Ran back arrived.
I heard that Li Ran went downstairs after more than two quarters of an hour, and went downstairs and got into the car directly. The little maid watched her enter the Chang'an Marquis Mansion before leaving.
Huo Wencan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then thought about the wrong tooth again.
This girl is really not likable at all.
……………………
Chang'an Hou's Mansion.
Old Madam Chen heard the porter's report that it was Huo Sangongzi's little servant Zhan Jin who sent Li Ran back, and her face sank suddenly.
Mrs. Chen was patient, and when the third lady Li Qingrou came back, and Mrs. Zhang, the two of them carefully interrogated clearly, and sent Li Qingrou away, and Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth.
"This scourge! I knew it was a scourge! Look at it, it was Brother Chan who sent her back! Sister Rou didn't know about this! ”
Mrs. Zhang's face was also ugly, "Brother Can said that he wanted to find a good-looking one." ”
"Sister Rou is not good-looking? Sister Rou is such a good child, how dignified and good-looking, where is it not good-looking? It's good to give birth!
The family of military generals, this heir is the most important!
What's wrong with Sister Rou?
This is not Brother Can'er's business, this is the scourge! Just like her mother, a vixen, a harmful spirit!
What kind of spell did she use? How did she catch up with Brother Can? How did she get on it?
Brother Can is a good boy, how have you ever seen a vixen like her?
This vixen, this harmful spirit, I know she wants to hurt people! ”
The more Mrs. Chen spoke, the more angry she became, and the kang snapped a few times.
"Sister Rou is a stupid child." Mrs. Zhang's face turned slightly pale.
"You can't let her hurt anyone!" Old Mrs. Chen is decisive, "Her mother hurt Brother An'er and his father, I can't let her hurt Brother Can'er anymore, and hurt our Sister Rou!"
Find her an in-law and marry her off, the sooner the better!
Such a scourge cannot be left for longer, not for a single day! ”
Mrs. Chen slapped the kang table angrily.
"Well, this is the best, even if you don't get married, you have to find a family member to settle down first. After getting married, if she dares to be a demon again......"
Before Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Chen: "No matter how dare she be a demon, it couldn't be better!" If she dares to be a demon, it will be death! ”
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang are both neat and neat people, and the next morning, Mrs. Chen called the first-class official media flower matchmaker into the house.
The flower matchmaker and Mrs. Chen were neighbors earlier, and when Mrs. Chen got married, she was entrusted to the flower matchmaker.
Of course, the flower matchmaker back then was still the lowest matchmaker who did not enter the stream, and then the tide rose all the way, and now, she has sat on the top spot in the matchmaker industry in the capital, and only walks around in a high-ranking household like the Chang'an Hou Mansion to talk about matchmaking.
The flower matchmaker took her eldest daughter-in-law, Qiao's sister-in-law, and arrived very quickly, and when she heard Mrs. Chen say that she would let her find a mother-in-law for Li Ran, she immediately agreed.
Out of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, Qiao's sister-in-law complained in a low voice: "Auntie, look at you, you should all go down, this matter is not easy to do." ”
"I know." The flower matchmaker glanced at her daughter-in-law, "How do I usually teach you?" Look at your face before you speak.
Didn't you see the old lady's face? Is it a face that can speak?
At this time, no matter what she says, she must respond first, not only to respond, but also to respond crisply, neatly, but if you hesitate for a little bit and say half a word, it will offend others. ”
"But this matter is over, what should I do later? This girl in their house, who doesn't know in the capital? That's not an ordinary identity, who ......?"
The latter words, Sister-in-law Qiao didn't say it.
The old lady wants to find a merchant for the girl, and she has to be a merchant from other places, and she has to leave after she is married, and the farther she goes, the better, and she can't come back if she leaves, and says that the young can't hold her, and she has to find someone who is old enough to hold and control her.
There are many such merchants, but there are those who dare to marry the one in their house, she thinks no, there is no one.
"Look at you, you're stupid again.
How many times have I taught you, I, you, we, can be smarter than other old ladies? Can't people think of it?
Oh, people can't think of it, but you think of it, right? Look at your cleverness.
Didn't I teach you not to be stupid when you shouldn't be smart! ”
The matchmaker slapped her daughter-in-law on the back.
"We can find what she says, we just look for people like she says.
As for whether people are willing to marry or not, dare to ask for it, can we know? We don't know.
Besides, how do you know that there is no one in this capital? Do you dare to say that?
In this matter, we have to go step by step, find someone first, and do something else," the flower matchmaker laughed dryly, "We can't be smarter than the old lady, we can't do it!" ”
Sister-in-law Qiao suddenly realized.
But no, whether they can find such a family is their mother-in-law's business. If they find someone and they are willing to marry, it's not their business.
She can't meddle in her own affairs and make decisions for others.
……………………
Huo Wencan was busy until almost noon the next day, and then returned to the capital.
The prince was busier than him, and it wasn't until the evening that Huo Wencan found an opportunity to gossip with the prince.
Huo Wencan explained in as much detail as possible that his sister had a treat yesterday.
There's really nothing to say about this treat, it's too simple and clear.
As for the fact that he chased him to Fengle Building and waited for most of the hour, Huo Wencan didn't say a word, only confessed to catch up with her and let the little girl send her back.
He couldn't tell why, but he didn't want to talk about it.
"What did they say?" The prince listened intently, turned his head to look at Xie Ze and asked.
Mrs. Xie, the sixth lady of the Wang family, is Xie Ze's aunt, and Xie Ze and his aunt are quite close.
"She doesn't know the Jinling royal family, and she doesn't know the An family, saying that she has only read a few poetry books and has never seen outsiders, which should be the truth." Xie Ze's voice was deep and cold.
The prince snorted.
Her residence was personally checked by Xie Ze, and it is true that there are only a few poetry collections, and she has indeed never seen outsiders.
"She said she wasn't supposed to be born and shouldn't have lived. said that Princess Leping should not be alive. Said that it is good to be in Chang'an Hou Mansion now. I asked about the past of the Marquis of Chang'an, asked about Rong'an City, and asked about Linglongju.
said that Mrs. Huo invited her, but I am afraid that it is a last resort, she is not good, and it is not good for her to stay for a long time. ”
The topics that Li Ran and Wang Ji have talked about, Xie Ze has said everything, but they are extremely concise.
"Asked Linglongju?" The prince's eyebrows were slightly raised.
"Well, she's sharp." Xie Ze nodded.
"It's a good thing." The prince didn't know what to think of, and laughed.
