Chapter 17: You have to go
Huo Wenlin's little sister gathering, the most worrying thing is not her, but her mother, Princess Du, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Cao.
From the moment Li Qingrou, the third lady of the Li family, entered the door, a dozen or so discerning housekeepers who were picked out the day before went to report to Princess Du and Mrs. Cao every quarter of an hour: who came, what did they do, and what they said.
After Li Ran came in, it was a quarter of an hour to report back and forth two or three times, and ask for instructions.
Hearing that half of the cloak that Li Ran walked away was dust, Princess Du was fine, Mrs. Cao laughed out loud, "This is too embarrassing." ”
"If it weren't for that, would you still need Sister Lin to invite this one? It's their family's business, and we can't take care of it, but, alas. Princess Du sighed again and again, but she couldn't manage it, but she had to be affected.
"Let's invite this scene, no matter what the prince wants, he has to find another one, A-Niang relax." Mrs. Cao understood what Princess Du meant, and hurriedly relieved.
The mother-in-law came in to report it.
Hearing that Wang Ji, the sixth lady of the Wang family, took the initiative to go over to talk to Li Ran, Princess Du was very satisfied, "Look at it, this child is sensible." ”
"But no, the father and son of the Wang family are all ministers who are highly used by Renzong, and they are all martyred, so she went over to greet her first, which is the most suitable." Mrs. Cao laughed.
"It's also a relative." Princess Du thought about Anjia, and her voice was low.
Her aunt was not yet thirty years old when she married into the An family and died with her husband.
The mother-in-law ran back and forth seven or eight times, and the sixth lady of the Wang family was still sitting and talking with Li Ran, and Princess Du was a little anxious.
"Why is this kid so sincere, why does he keep talking?"
The sixth lady of the Wang family is her favorite candidate for the third daughter-in-law, and she has more concerns than other little ladies.
"It's not a short time." Mrs. Cao looked at the dripping and said for more than two quarters of an hour, which was too long.
"Alas, this child is too sincere, their family is too close to Renzong, and they say hello to each other, but they have to avoid suspicion, what is this saying? How can you say that it has been so long? Is it really a deed? Princess Du looked at the housekeeper and said hurriedly.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law looked embarrassed, "The girls of the six ladies didn't come close, and the maids didn't dare to get too close, the two of them spoke in low voices, or they ......"
"It's not appropriate." Mrs. Cao stopped the words of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and said to Princess Du: "I don't think that girl is a heartless person, we are too close, if she thinks too much, it will not be good, besides, the sixth lady is a sensible person, and she will definitely not say things that should not be said, don't worry, Auntie." ”
"Hmm." Princess Du retired from her mother-in-law, and sighed with Mrs. Cao: "This girl is very smart, you listen to what she said to her second sister-in-law, how clear and thorough she is, and when it comes to seeing things, those two in the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion are not as good as her." ”
"In the end, the bloodline is different." Mrs. Cao sighed with emotion, "Ah Niang, look, do you want to remind the sixth lady?" ”
"It's not good, there are a lot of people, and it reminded her that we are going to get in." Princess Du pondered for a moment and sighed.
The housekeeper's mother-in-law came over one after another to report.
On Li Ran's side, it was always Wang Ji who accompanied and spoke, and they were always the same.
On the third lady's Li Qingrou's side, every trip is a bunch of words:
When she went out, Li Ran had already disappeared, it wasn't her mother-in-law and her aunt that they didn't arrange it well;
What Li Ran never gave her mother-in-law and her aunt to say goodbye, how rude and arrogant;
What Li Ran said how to go out of the house, she didn't say hello to anyone, her wife and her aunt couldn't do anything about her;
Why didn't Li Ran say a word a day, and the girls who were waiting for her were frightened by her;
……
Princess Du and Mrs. Cao sighed again when they heard this, and once again strengthened their behesitation: The Li family, a family, can't get married no matter what!
……………………
Huo Wenlin's embarrassment and reluctance, Li Ran saw it clearly from the moment she entered the door.
She invited her to this trip, and nine times out of ten, it was the same as the time when she went to the palace to participate in the Double Ninth Festival banquet, someone sent a message and had to be invited.
She came over, went shopping, and heard so much information from Wang Ji, and what she gained was extremely rich.
With such a big benefit, she has to think about Huo Wenlin, for example, after sitting for nearly an hour, after resting, it is time to leave.
Li Ran bowed down and said goodbye to Wang Ji first, "I should go back, thank you." ”
The king was stunned.
It is very common for little girls like them to get together and play until the evening, and no matter what, they have to eat lunch and drink tea a few times before they can leave.
Li Ran sat down and left like this, which was very rude.
"Mrs. Huo's invitation this time is just a last resort. It's not good for me not to come, but it's even worse if I stay for a long time. Li Ran and Wang Ji explained.
Whether it is the relationship between her and her introduced by Wang Ji, or her perception of Wang Ji, it makes her feel that Wang Ji is at least a person who can speak frankly, so that she will not even say a clear word, and she will turn her hand and rain to hurt her, or turn her face and treat her as a joke, and laugh back and forth.
Wang Ji immediately understood, and as Li Ran stood up, he said in a low voice, "Don't think too much." ”
"Well, thank you." Li Ran thanked him again, greeted Huo Wenlin, walked four or five steps away, and said with a smile: "I still have some things, I'll leave first, thank you, I'm very happy to come here." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Huo Wenlin to answer, he turned around and walked to the door of the warm pavilion, met the eyes of a mother-in-law, and smiled: "Please bring me the cloak." ”
"Auntie...... Ah Ran, that ......" Huo Wenlin felt that she should stay, and she would leave now, it was too early!
But just as I was about to speak, I thought of A-Niang's confession: This party, at most, is not the end, if it is not the end, she will leave, that is the best, and must not be kept.
The mother-in-law and girls who came over to wait today were all very discerning, and when they saw Huo Wenlin open their mouths, they knew what to do, and immediately brought Li Ran's cloak.
"Alas, that ......" Huo Wenlin reacted quickly, thinking that she couldn't stay, she thought of the question of how Li Ran should go back, and immediately looked at the third lady, Li Qingrou.
Li Ran came over, and now that she wants to leave, she can't be allowed to walk back again, but the matter of sending a car......
It's better for the three ladies to say that their sisters are going back together, or to send her back first in her car.
But the third lady, Li Qingrou, is not a person who can understand what Huo Wenlin's glance means, and she will never let Li Ran get into her car, she hates others using her things.
Li Qingrou didn't understand what Huo Wenlin's glance meant at all, and of course it was impossible to pick it up.
Huo Wenlin was sternly confessed by her aunt: Don't make your own opinions, say more and do more.
Then the matter of sending the car, it must be too much, she can't do more, she asked Li Ran to send her back, and she couldn't say it.
"I'll send Miss Li back." Wang Ji smiled after Huo Wenlin's second one.
"No, you don't." Li Ran had already taken the cloak, and while putting it on, he had already walked to the door of the warm pavilion, looked back at Wang Ji and smiled: "When I came here just now, I saw a few places that were very interesting, I was afraid that it would be late here, so I didn't dare to delay, and when I went back, I just went to take a look." ”
"Girls don't have to be polite......"
"You're welcome, the street is very lively and interesting, I want to go shopping, go alone, thank you, don't pass." Li Ran interrupted Wang Qi's words, lifted his cloak and skirt slightly, went straight down the steps, and went out.
"I'll send you!" Huo Wenlin hurriedly followed, ran down the steps, and followed Li Ran.
Li Ran's footsteps were very fast, Zhou E saw her come out, came out to follow, the two of them went out of the side gate of the Hejian County Palace, walked out dozens of steps, and got the order of Princess Du, passed the word to Huo Wenlin, and asked her to send a car to send Li Ran's housekeeper back, and then rushed over.
Huo Wenlin listened to the words of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, and stomped her feet again and again, "I'm already out of the door......
At this time, the people have already left the house, and they are almost at the corner of the street, so it will be even worse if they stop and send a car, right?
Besides, looking at that girl like that, there is a good chance that she will not stand and wait for them to pull the car out.
If she refuses to wait, there will be a lively street around the corner, with people coming and going, waiting for the car to pull out, and there will be no place to find someone.
The housekeeper is also an understanding person, and she smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, eldest lady, I'll go and ask the princess to show me again." ”
"Don't go, forget it, you go, just report to A-Niang, people have already gone away." Huo Wenlin was troubled.
It's not once or twice that I've grown so big, and it's really the first time I've been so embarrassed.
……………………
Li Ran turned onto the lively street, took a deep breath in the bustling hustle and bustle, and his mood calmed down a little bit, and he became relaxed and happy.
She likes to sink into the hustle and bustle, like the stone on the corner of the street that no one looks at, trapped in the hustle and bustle, and she is outside the hustle and bustle.
It's just that she is very different from her before.
In the past, she was really a stone on the corner of the street, but now she is too brightly dressed and too good-looking, walking on the street, like a dazzling glass lamp in the night.
In the current situation, she needs to be bright enough to be safe.
It's like a stone on the corner of a street, and if she can't finish this street, she will be like a grain of mud thrown into the sea, and if she falls into the crowd, she will melt away.
Li Ran didn't know what time it was, the sky was a little cloudy, she couldn't see where the sun was, but she was very hungry.
She didn't eat much in the morning, just now in the Hejian County Palace, and only listened to Wang Ji's words, and didn't care about eating snacks, well, this is just right, keep this small amount of food, you can seriously pick a restaurant, and have a good meal.
Li Ran asked the guy from the shop who was standing at the door to solicit business, the closest restaurant to here and the best restaurant in the capital was Fengle Building, and asked how to go, and followed the guy's instructions to Fengle Building.
Zhou E followed behind Li Ran, as calm as her, she stopped, she stopped, she walked, she walked, she looked at everything, she was not interested in what she saw, she only looked at her.
