It was similar to what Xi Qing said, half an hour later, Mr. Zuo came out after asking, Xie Ze, who had just entered the grain store, got the report, and immediately returned, summoned people to discuss the matter, and Li Ran and Zhou E entered the house together.

Ziqi and others gathered in the main hall closest to the courtyard gate, and when they saw Li Ran, Qingqi was the first, and a group of people rushed down the steps, seven or eight steps away from Li Ran, and knelt on the ground.

"Get up, it's all right, right?" Li Ran motioned to everyone.

"It's all good, I'm just worried about the princess."

Mama Sang stepped forward and answered.

"First said that the princess was taken before us, and later, four or five days ago, it was a little wrong, I and Zi Ji thought of everything, and we didn't dare to think about anything.

Unexpectedly, this morning, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Shi Nan Shiye!

It's really, like a dream. ”

Mama Sang spoke, looking behind Zhou E.

"A lot of people died, Shen Xianfeng died in battle, Wang Xianfeng was injured, and went to Xiangyang City to recuperate, and the fifth master is fine."

Li Ran looked at Mama Sang's gaze at the courtyard gate, and lowered her eyes.

Mama Sang's face turned pale, and among the guards beside Li Ran, there was her nephew.

"Are we going to take Oak City?"

Qing Qi couldn't help it and asked.

When Mr. Zuo asked just now, the rule was that he was only allowed to answer and not ask, what the hell was going on, she was going to be suffocated.

"The Shu army withdrew, and when the marshal came in, it was an empty city."

Li Ran replied.

"We're going to live here for a while, let's just stay in this house for the time being. Shi Nan has already led people to check around, you go to eat first, and look around after eating.

is still the general manager of Mama Sang.

If you want to buy something to add, Mama Sang asked Shi Nan to support some silver, arranged for someone to buy, try to do it ourselves, Shi Nan and they are very busy. ”

"Yes, don't worry, princess."

Mama Sang hurriedly bent her knees to respond, Zi Qi brought a girl to wait by Li Ran's side, and the rest of the people rushed to the big kitchen to cook and eat.

The house was large and empty, with buildings far from each other, with few flowers and plants in the middle, and four or five trees.

Li Ran and Zhou E stopped and walked inside and outside the house, and it had been more than an hour.

"Whose house is this? How did it come to this? Zhou E looked at the whole way and disgusted the whole way.

This house is really ugly.

"It's good, it's clean." Li Ran really thinks it's pretty good.

The house gave her the feel of a military camp.

"Xiqing, it looks like there's something urgent." As soon as the two of them sat down in the flower hall near the gate, Zhou E motioned to Li Ran.

In the distance, Xiqing saw the two of them and ran over with them.

"Princess, the princess is waiting for the princess at the door, saying that he wants to go out for a walk with the princess."

Xiqing rushed to the two of them and said with a smile.

Li Ran quickened his pace and went straight to the gate.

Xie Ze stood at the foot of the steps outside the courtyard gate, saw Li Ran, smiled, took a few steps up, and asked, "Have you eaten lunch?" ”

"Not yet, I want to wait for you to eat with you."

"Then let's go out to eat. Taste the flavor of this oak city. ”

Xie Ze turned sideways and let Li Ran go side by side with her.

"Huh?" Li Ran looked at Xie Ze in surprise.

He hardly eats in a restaurant or something like that, and he rarely even shows his head.

"It's Ge Fu Yin who stayed in this oak city, and he just came to see me and asked me if I could go to the market a few more times, saying that it was very conducive to the stability of the people, so let's go shopping more."

Xie Ze explained with a smile.

"Ge Fu Yin is Shu Di Mansion Yin?" Li Ran asked with great uncertainty.

"Well, when Jian Mingrui leaves, ask him to protect the people of Oak City, and the rest will be at his own discretion. I also asked him to protect the people of Licheng, and as for the rest, I will wait for the court and Shu to come to a conclusion. ”

"The imperial court and Shu were originally the people of a country."

Li Ran couldn't say any emotion in her heart, it was a little hot and a little sour.

"After dinner, I'll accompany you to add some clothes."

"There's a lot to add."

Li Ran laughed, turned her head to look at Zi Qi and said with a smile: "You two go back and tell Mama Sang that the prince and I are going to have a good shopping in the afternoon, what do she want to buy there, bring the list." ”

"Yes." Zi Ji smiled in response, took the little girl, and trotted all the way back.

A group of a dozen horses walked slowly through an alley where almost every house was closed, and came to a street that was not too narrow, and the street was deserted, and the shops on both sides were closed.

Xie Zele stopped his horse, looked at Li Ran and said, "If you are not tired, let's walk, I am afraid that they will be frightened when they hear the sound of horses' hooves." ”

"Okay." Li Ran simply jumped off the horse.

A few small servants stepped forward and led them back, Shi Nan and the others were on full alert, and the guards who were tight inside and loose on the outside were around the two of them.

After walking half the street, Qing Qi took two girls and hurried up.

Li Ran took the long list from Qing Qi's hand, and before he could look at the list, the corner of his eye swept the door of a silk shop in front of him and opened a crack from the inside.

"There's someone in that house."

Xie Ze and Li Ran said something almost at the same time, and laughed together.

"Check it out." Xie Ze smiled as he pointed to the crack in the door that had not been closed again.

"You knock on the door." Li Ran gestured to the green eggplant.

Qing Qi smiled in response, walked a few steps forward, patted the knocker a few times, and said loudly: "Is the shopkeeper here?" Do you have any fresh ingredients? ”

"Yes, yes!"

The door immediately opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man who was slightly thin and looked extremely capable stepped forward and fell to his knees.

"Trumpet is the capital of the Zheng family in Jin County, and Uncle Zheng came here a time ago."

That's the end of the middle-aged man's words.

Xie Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Zheng Jian'an has returned to Xiangyang safely, what is your surname?" ”

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief obviously, kowtowed first, and then replied: "The villain's surname is Jin, and his life is Jin Wannian, please say goodbye to the handsome, and ask for peace to the princess." ”

"Let's get the shop out of here, Clumsy Jing has to pick some materials." Xie Ze beckoned.

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurriedly! Why don't you open the door yet! What time has it been! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

The golden shopkeeper jumped to his feet, shouted loudly, and then turned back.

"Marshal, please! Princess please! ”

The guys in the shop had probably set up a posture a long time ago, just waiting for the shopkeeper to shout, and when he heard the shout, the doors of the two shops were opened almost at the same time, and several guys jumped out, working together inside and out, and in the blink of an eye, they removed the door panel and hung out colorful guises.

Xie Ze and Li Ran entered the shop, the green eggplant was selected according to the list, and the mulberry branch took out a few large silver cakes and stepped forward to meet the account.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is the trumpet filial piety ......"

The golden shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand.

"No." Xie Ze has always been concise and to the point.

"How much silver should be at this time, not a penny less, otherwise it will be a robbery."

Sang Zhi smiled and explained a few more words.

The golden shopkeeper can be left in Oak City, naturally he is a very shrewd and understanding person, and he will not say a word more, but according to the price, he weighed the silver.

After buying silk and coming out, the doors of the shops on both sides of the silk shop are not so tight.

The two walked forward through six or seven shops, a restaurant with a bright door and a huge Fuxing store, with a door crack that was two inches wide.

Xie Ze and Li Ran glanced at each other, Li Ran pursed his lips and smiled and gestured to Qing Qi, "This is good, you go and ask." ”

Qing Zhi answered, passed through the Huan Gate, and just stood at the door of the restaurant, the door that was two inches wide opened opened from the inside.

"Are you Fuxing Building doing business today? We, the princess and princess, would like to try the craftsmanship of your bell. ”

Qing Qi stopped moving forward, bowed slightly, and said with a smile.

"Do it, do it!"

The shopkeeper in the door was stunned, and then agreed repeatedly, and with a stack of successions, the shopkeeper stepped forward, and saw that Xie Ze and Li Ran had already come in through the Huanmen, and hurriedly stood beside him.

The three doors of the restaurant were unloaded extremely quickly.

"Small upstairs private room, handsome...... The prince ...... "The shopkeeper was nervous and incoherent.

"It's downstairs." Li Ran motioned to Xie Ze.

Downstairs and upstairs, or even the whole street, just a few of them, there is no need for a private room or an indecent room.

"Hmm. Let the bell head pick and choose to do a few things. Xie Zewen commanded the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper responded one after another, raised his voice to order, and together with a few middle-aged guys, he quickly wiped the tables and chairs in the lobby again with a snow-white cotton handkerchief.

"What's your last name?"

Li Ran sat down, watched the shopkeeper serve tea, and asked with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't have your surname Zhang, your cheap name Fengnian, Sun Fengnian, the prince, the princess is here, the trumpet is shining, it is an honor for the trumpet to go up and down!"

The shopkeeper Sun kept hunching.

"The best restaurant in Oak City, is it your Fuxing Building?"

Li Ran then asked with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, can't afford to be, how dare you count the trumpet as the best. There are three small buildings in Oak City, and the trumpet can't even count the three small buildings.

However, the small hibiscus lungs, bursting with double crispy, are well-known in Oak City. ”

Shopkeeper Sun was a little soothed, at least he spoke fluently.

"I'm going to have a good taste at that moment." Li Ran smiled and continued.

Shopkeeper Sun's face suddenly stiffened, "Back to the princess, the hibiscus lung trumpet is not available today, the hibiscus lung is extremely labor-intensive, this is a while, these days are ......"

"How's it about the double crispy?" Li Ran interrupted Shopkeeper Sun and asked.

"It's ...... to burst the double crispy" Sun's shopkeeper's face turned blue. These days are attacking the city every day, how can there be any business, but all the dishes that need to be extremely fresh cannot be made at this time, there are no ingredients!

"How many days are you going to prepare? Shall we come back in a few days? ”

Li Ran asked Shopkeeper Sun, and then turned to Xie Zedao.

Xie Ze smiled and nodded.

Shopkeeper Sun breathed through his breath fiercely, "Ming...... The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, ready for the day after tomorrow. ”

"Then the day after tomorrow, in the evening." Li Ran saw Xie Ze smiling and nodding, and made an appointment with Shopkeeper Sun.

When Xie Ze and Li Ran, as well as Shi Nan and others ate a good meal unhurriedly and came out of Fuxing Building, there were still few people on the street, but there were a few shops with one or two door panels, which seemed to be open but not open.

Xie Ze and Li Ran went in from house to house, bought a lot of everything, and ordered them to be sent to the mansion they called the general's house.

At the end of a street, two hours had passed, and in the distance, the sun had set and was out of sight.

The two turned their heads and walked back, and the street where night fell was much more lively than when they first arrived at noon.

There were still no pedestrians on the streets, but many of the shops had one or two doors open, and bright red lanterns hung in rows and strings at the doors of the shops, and the doors of each shop were crowded with heads, staring wide-eyed and looking out.

Li Ran saw a young woman holding a child in a pastry shop next to her, and she also stretched out her head to look out, pulled Xie Ze's sleeve, and motioned him to look at the little baby who was waving at her and drooling and laughing.

Xie Ze smiled at the little baby and waved his hand, and the woman holding the child didn't know how to panic, so she slammed her head into the door frame, sighed, and ran in with the child.

The guys on both sides leaned out most of their bodies to see what was going on, and some of them were bold enough to step out cautiously and stand outside the door to look.

Li Ran couldn't help laughing, stood on tiptoe, and said in a low voice to Xie Ze: "You smile more, and wave your hand again." ”

Xie Ze smiled, "What are you talking about?" ”

Saying something, Xie Ze laughed, looked at the guys standing on both sides, and bowed slightly.

Both sides of the street suddenly became lively, and the guys in the door scrambled to squeeze out, and some of them were bold enough to bow to Xie Ze and Li Ran: "Princess, prince." ”

Xie Ze and Li Ran smiled, nodded their heads and greeted each other, and walked back down the street, and the streets were already full of people.

At the end of the street, he got off his horse and returned to the front of the house, and inside the gate, a middle-aged man who looked extremely tired and gloomy greeted him and stood outside the gate with his hands down.

"This is Ge Fu Yin."

Xie Ze introduced the middle-aged man to Li Ran.

"Thank you." Li Ran bent his knees slightly.

"Don't dare to be, can't afford to be, in the next ......"

Ge Fu Yin's words were stuck, he looked up at Li Ran, looked at Xie Ze from Li Ran, and then looked back, took half a step back, and knelt down.

"When I heard that the princess arrived in the capital, I thought that one day I would be able to kowtow to the princess in person."

After Ge Fuyin finished speaking, he touched the ground with both hands and kowtowed solemnly.

"I understand Ge Fuyin's intentions, but I can't afford it." Li Ran turned sideways to avoid the sound of Ge Fu Yin's kowtow.

Xie Ze stood beside him with his hands behind his back, watched Ge Fu Yin kowtow and stand up, and then slammed Li Ran to the end before taking a step forward and motioning to Li Ran, "You go back and rest." ”

Li Ran responded, bent his knees slightly to say goodbye to Ge Mansion Yin, and went into the backyard.

Xie Ze took Ge Fuyin and entered the conference hall that had just been cleaned up next to him.
