Chapter Seventy-Five: Rumors, Hot Pot, Lights
Qingyuan Pavilion Tea Shop——
"Do you know, I heard that the prince of Chu was robbed of his love by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he couldn't love it, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he was lying at home with a cold." The man was thin, dressed in an off-white robe, with stubble on his face.
"How did I hear that the prince and the girl of the Huo family have long been in love, and it is the prince of Chu who has to intervene?"
"Harm, this woman, it's too beautiful and it's also a curse." A do-gooder followed, "Even the prince has been involved." ”
Hearing what they said, another slightly fat man pursed his lips and retorted, "Nonsense, it is clearly the prince of Chu who is frightened by his weak heart. How can a man's business be involved in other people's girls, and let people carry the black pot. ”
"Weak heart?" The skinny man was surprised.
"Hey, not really." The fat man took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "This matter, my cousin who was on an errand in the Guogong Mansion told me." ”
"What's the matter? Yan Er, don't talk about it. The man was aroused by his curiosity and couldn't help but urge.
"My cousin has been on an errand in the Guogong Mansion for some years, and he said that the prince of Chu and the young lady of the Huo family have nothing to do with each other at all."
He cleared his throat and buried his head slightly, "Besides, that day, I heard that the prince came out of the palace directly and confronted the prince face to face. “
"It turns out that the rumors started like this, so I said, how can I say that the prince is stealing love with a knife."
"This prince of Chu just fell in love with the background of the Huo family, Zuo Xiang only has a daughter of Miss Huo, even if Mrs. Zuo Xiang goes early, but no matter how particular we are, we can't match the silver of white flowers, right?"
"It makes sense."
"So, this prince of Chu was weak that day, and when he went back to be so scared, wouldn't he be scared out of illness." Yan Er quickly made a knot.
"Brothers, if you want me to say, let's not talk about this, what does this matter have to do with us." A man who had been silent said with a grin.
"Yes." The thin man just now smiled and shook his head.
This topic ended like this, and the man named Yan Er glanced at a blue-clothed guy on the second floor without a trace.
Similar scenes appeared in various tea shops and taverns in the capital, and even in Qinglou Goolan.
"Well, I bought the book, and I don't know if he will forgive me." Jiang Yu pointed to the "Four Records of Meixi" on the table, hesitating.
"You...... Apologize for sending a book? Huo Shui'er just walked in a hurry, just sat down, and took a sip of herbal tea, the tea of this house is very distinctive, and it has a special fragrance while cooling the throat.
She was slightly surprised.
"I know it's weird, but after all, he's been looking for so long, so he doesn't like it at all." Jiang Yu's muffled voice came.
Huo Shui'er cut a plate of flower cake into several small pieces with a knife, the crust of the flower cake was crispy, and the crumbs of the cake fell a little on the small cyan plate.
She handed the dish over and exclaimed, "You stupid melon." “
Huo Shui'er couldn't imagine whether Ji Feng would be angry and hurt when he received this book.
"Have you ever thought about how you can resolve the conflict when you send this book?"
"Do you go in person, or do you send it on your behalf?"
"If you want to go on your own, you don't feel embarrassed."
Huo Shui'er asked and answered herself.
"I'm not afraid of embarrassment, it's just ...... Do you have a better idea? “
Huo Shui'er tilted her head and thought about it, "If you want me to say, the most relaxed and pleasant time is probably when you eat together, no matter how embarrassing things are, in front of food, you always have to ease up a lot." “
She suddenly remembered the famous wine culture in later generations, talking about business or entertainment, putting it on the wine table, after three rounds of wine, you and I are almost the same, when the mind is dizzy and extremely excited, it is easy to make a decision.
In other words, in fact, Huo Shuier feels that food can also play the same role, and when the taste buds are extremely pleasant, there is always a stinky face, and it is not easy.
"Huh!" Jiang Yu slapped the table excitedly, "Let's eat the pot!" ”
"It's so hot this day, isn't it good to eat the pot?" Shisu was puzzled and said on the side.
Jiang Yu's smart eyes rolled, "You don't know this, in our Shu land, not only do you have to eat pots, but you also need to eat spicy and fragrant pots." Hearty, so happy. ”
As soon as she said this, Huo Shui'er also thought that she used to be sweating profusely, and she also wanted to sit around a table with three or five friends on a summer evening, when the cool breeze was blowing, hot pot, and chat about interesting things.
When the food has a temperature, the natural atmosphere becomes warm.
Therefore, she is also a strong supporter.
Jiang Yu smiled, "In the past, he wrote to me and made an appointment to come back and eat the pot together, but he forgot about this stubble for a while." ”
She turned her head and said obsessively with Huo Shui'er, "Okay Shui'er, it's still the same sentence, you have to help me ask him out." “
Huo Shui'er nodded her forehead, and she didn't mention it.
The sky was getting darker, and the dark blue was gradually covering the sky.
The woman leaned against the collapse by the window, and looked at the late finch little by little on the flowers, her eyes scattered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Girl, the meals are cold." Jasmine sighed and walked over gently.
The woman remained motionless as if cut off from all sounds.
"Girl, the old lady told you to come over." Jasmine tentatively shouted again.
I don't know how this pearl girl came, since yesterday's poetry meeting, the whole person is like losing her soul.
called her, so stunned that she didn't speak, like a walking corpse.
Jasmine sighed again and leaned closer and shouted, "Girl." “
"Well, let's go." The woman suddenly regained her soul and sat up from the collapse.
With a floating step, he went to the side of the dresser, with a faint black under his eyes, and poured a layer of delicate powder on it, and then some rouge, and his complexion was much better.
"Did grandmother say anything?"
"The old lady's birthday is approaching, I'm afraid it's a matter of discussing the guest list with the girl."
"Oh." Zhu Zhu nodded.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Jasmine persuaded, "Girl, don't blame the slave for being too talkative, you have to go to see the old lady like this, she will definitely be careful." “
"I know, don't worry." Meiyun Temple was close to Rongqing Hall, and after walking two steps, I saw my mother-in-law holding a dim lantern at the door.
"Miss Zhu is here, and the old lady is waiting inside."
"There's Mama Lao."
The lights in the Rongqing Hall were bright, and the maid and woman stood neatly under the corridor, and the candlelight shone through the lantern film on the bean-green dress, with some indescribable dull twilight.
"Grandmother." Zhu Zhu stepped in, put on a smile, and waved her hand to let the maid who was pinching the old lady's legs retreat. He knelt beside the old lady's lap and pressed her leg.
After pressing for a while, the old lady squinted, even if the room was as bright as day, her eyes were blurry, and she was getting older, and she couldn't see things more and more clearly.
She glanced at Zhu Zhu, who hung her head, and could only see the top of the girl's black and soft hair.
"I'm also the one who has most of my body in the ground." The old lady exhaled a long breath of turbid air from her chest, "This birthday banquet, you can also make it more lively for me." “
Zhu Zhu changed her technique and began to gently pat the old lady's calf, "This grandmother naturally has to rest assured, her granddaughter knows." “
"Guests who should be invited, when will you come out with a charter." The old lady leaned back comfortably.
"Tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the granddaughter will draw up a list first, and the grandmother will see." Zhu Zhu replied.
"Hmm."
Neither of the grandparents nor grandchildren mentioned the quarrel and conflict that day, but the two of them were so quiet that one pinched his legs, the other squinted his eyes, and did not continue to speak.
It's just that on the yellow rosewood table, a lamp "snapped" and burst out a beautiful lamp.
