Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Night Tour of the Heavenly Capital
At the beginning of the lanterns, the clear night sky is full of stars. Huo Qingqing, who was looking up at the starry sky, was still in a very bad mood, very bad. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, who were beside her, looked at Huo Qingqing with a strange face, and then turned to the faint light in the east courtyard.
In the middle of the night, a figure slowly walked out of the courtyard like a bride getting on a sedan chair. When Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia saw this figure, they couldn't help but smile. Chaoxia was better, but with a smile on her face. Lu Xiang'er laughed out loud.
'Hmph-' Hearing Lu Xiang'er's voice, Huo Qingqing glanced at the figure, snorted softly, and looked up again. Although two days have passed since that incident, Huo Qingqing is finally not so angry. But at this time, seeing the culprit who made her new skirt no longer wear, Huo Qingqing couldn't put on a good face.
"Ha, it's all there." The figure approached, a flattering smile on his face. Of course, this smile was mainly towards Huo Qingqing, who made him drunk and vomited all over his body.
In other words, that afternoon, Huo Qingqing was vomited by the drunk Lu Hong, changed into Chaoxia's clothes and waited for Lu Hong to sober up and settle accounts with him. But Lu Hong was poured a bowl of sobering soup and slept all afternoon. Until Huo Qingsong came to pick up Huo Qingqing, he hadn't woken up. In the next two days, General Huo's mansion seemed to be a guest, and it wasn't until today that Huo Qingqing left the mansion and came to the Lu family.
After Lu Hong woke up from drinking, he knew his 'feat', and he was always worried in his heart. In the past two days, he either hid in his yard to prepare for the test, or went out and disappeared, afraid of seeing Huo Qingqing. So as soon as he heard Huo Qingqing's voice, he hid in his room and never came out.
But seeing that it was also dark, Huo Qingqing hadn't left yet, and Lu Erniang came to scold him again, so Lu Hong was ready not to hide and make a good gift to Huo Qingqing. Anyway, he is also a hot-blooded man, and he can't always owe a little lady.
Seeing that Huo Qingqing didn't hear him speak, Lu Hong kept staring at the night sky, so he had to turn to Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, and said with a dry smile: "Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia, A-Niang said that we should go out tonight to enjoy the night view of Tiandu." Why don't you go and eat Tiandu's snacks? ”
Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia glanced at each other and chuckled again. It can be seen that Lu Hong has a bitter face, and Lu Xiang'er had to approach Huo Qingqing and said softly: "Qingqing, I'm really hungry when I talk about it, are you hungry." I heard that the snacks in Tiandu are very good, but I haven't eaten them yet. ”
As she spoke, Lu Xiang'er tugged at Huo Qingqing's sleeve and looked at her with a pleading look. Seeing this, Huo Qingqing snorted again: "Okay then." Tonight, I'll take you and Chaoxia to have a big meal. ”
"That's great, let's go." Lu Xiang'er glanced at Lu Hong, and then pulled Huo Qingqing and walked out.
The corners of Chaoxia's mouth raised, and she hurriedly followed. But when she passed by Lu Hong's side, she whispered, "Take more money." Looking at Qingqing's appearance, if you don't let the money be broken, the 'hatred' can't be solved. ”
Hearing Chaoxia say this, Lu Hong hurriedly covered the purse in his arms, with some hesitation on his face. However, seeing that the three people in front of him had already gone out together, they ignored him, Lu Hong just gritted his teeth and chased after him. There's no way, Huo Qingqing is usually eccentric, and if he has a grudge against her, he may be 'yin' by her at any time.
After leaving the Lu family, a group of four people went to the West Market. Because they were going to visit Tiandu at night, they didn't take a carriage, and the four of them were on foot. Lu Xiang'er walked forward with Huo Qingqing and Chaoxia on her shoulder, constantly looking around. Lu Hong was like a guard of a large family, walking behind with a straight face. In his hands, he also held a lot of gadgets and food.
Lu Xiang'er, Chaoxia, and Huo Qingqing were rare beauties, but at this time, the three of them were walking on the street together, but they attracted many young sons to look around. However, when a few bold men stepped forward to talk, a few burly men with solemn faces came out of the shadows to stop them.
Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing didn't notice it at all, but Chaoxia and Lu Hong felt it. However, from the momentum of these people, Chaoxia and Lu Hong understood that these people must have been sent by Huo Qingsong. The two didn't pay much attention to it, and let a few people follow behind to protect them from intrusion.
However, when a few people arrived at the more lively West Market, Chaoxia suddenly felt that someone was staring at her. After searching for the owner of the gaze several times and not finding it, Chaoxia gave up. Because she could feel that there was no malice in that gaze.
"Hey, the old man who sells wontons has come out again." Huo Qingqing, who was talking to Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia about the characteristics of the West Market, suddenly saw something, and his steps stopped. Soon, she pointed in one direction with an excited face and said, "Xiang'er, Sister Chaoxia, let's go to that stall to eat wontons." The old man's wontons were delicious, and I would come here every time I sneaked out of the house. Sometimes, though, the old man wasn't there, and I had to eat something else......"
Following the direction of Huo Qingqing's finger, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia saw a steaming stall at the entrance of an alley. Behind the stall, an old man with gray hair and short beard was very busy. In front of the stall, there are only four small tables that are not too big, and many people are sitting around eating wontons with their heads down. The expressions on the faces of those people showed how delicious the old man's wontons were.
Coincidentally, when Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia saw clearly, a table of people got up and checked out and left. Huo Qingqing hurriedly pulled the two of them and ran over and sat down at the table. At the same time, she also pulled Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia to sit on either side of her. Then, Huo Qingqing turned around and smiled at the old man: "The old man comes three, come four bowls of wontons, the soup should be thicker, and put more ......."
"Put more coriander, little old man knows." The old man raised his head, glanced at Lu Xiang'er and a few people, then kept squinting his eyes with his hands and mouth, and said with a smile: "Many people don't see the little lady coming, but this time the little lady also brought friends, and the little old lady must make the little lady satisfied." ”
The old man smiled and talked to Huo Qingqing, and the wontons like ingots jumped out of his hands and fell into the pot like a trick. Not long after, four bowls of wontons sprinkled with coriander foam were placed in front of Huo Qingqing and the four of them. Huo Qingqing smiled at the old man, then quickly picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and dripped a few drops of sesame oil into the four bowls. Then, she pushed the other three bowls in front of Lu Xiang'er and the others.
Smelling the aroma of coriander, sesame oil, and the meat in the wontons, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help but take a deep breath again: "Qingqing, just smelling this fragrance, you know that this taste must be no different." ”
"Of course. It's one of my favorite foods in the West Market. Huo Qingqing nodded, then lowered his head and picked up a wonton with a spoon, blowing hot air and putting it into his mouth.
Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia saw Huo Qingqing's expression of enjoyment, and they were immediately aroused by their appetite and lowered their heads one after another. Although the wontons are very hot, the filling inside is really delicious, and you can't wait to spit your tongue into your stomach. Even Chaoxia, who has always eaten very little, ate a big bowl of wontons. And Lu Hong asked for another bowl, and after eating, he still had an unfinished look.
Looking at the five large bowls on the table with only some soup base left, the four of them looked at each other and smiled. Lu Hong even found that Huo Qingqing was not keeping a straight face about him, and he was very happy in his heart, so he hurriedly ran to the old man to take the initiative to pay the bill. Huo Qingqing saw that Lu Hong had been very attentive all the way, and his mood was much better, so he decided not to stop fighting him.
"Alright, it's done. Let's go shopping and go back again, so we don't have to go back to the house to accumulate food......" Lu Hong suddenly saw a sugar gourd seller coming over, and immediately ran over. Soon, he walked back quickly with four strings of sugar gourds: "Let's take one string each, eat this to consume." ”
Huo Qingqing saw that Lu Hong was the first to hand him over, and there was a bunch of sugar, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Lu Hong, you did well tonight." I've decided, I'm not mad at you anymore. ”
"Then Xiaosheng will thank Little Lady Huo for her kindness." When Lu Hong heard Huo Qingqing's words, he immediately smiled. But when he turned around and was about to go out, a carriage passed slowly and startled him on the spot. Even the sugar gourd in his hand fell to the ground, and he didn't notice it.
The few people standing behind Lu Hong couldn't see Lu Hong's expression, but it was very strange to see the sugar gourd under Lu Hong's feet. Huo Qingqing even muttered: "It's not because I forgave you that you lost your temper with joy." ”
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xiang'er listened to what Huo Qingqing said, but she didn't think so. As Lu Hong's younger sister, Lu Xiang'er just felt very clearly that Lu Hong's body suddenly tightened. Although he quickly relaxed again, Lu Hong's background looked so tired.
However, when Lu Xiang'er turned to Lu Hong's front, Lu Hong's expression had returned to normal. Xiang Lu Xiang'er smiled embarrassedly, and Lu Hongcai said, "I may have run too quickly just now, and my hands were a little unsteady. Later, when I meet a candy gourd seller, I'll buy another bunch. ”
"Oh, alright, let's go over there." Lu Xiang'er nodded, and then carried Chaoxia and Huo Qingqing to the spacious bluestone street. But Lu Hong stood there and looked in the direction just now, and was stunned for a moment before turning around and chasing after the three who had already walked away.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hong ran two or three steps, and actually collided with another person. Because Lu Hong was running, he was still thinking about what he had just seen, and he didn't notice that there was also a person coming briskly from the opposite side in front of him. Therefore, the collision between the two is a real strength. However, it is obvious that Lu Hong, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, has more strength. knocked the man back and forth, and sat down on the ground all at once.
Lu Hong felt remorseful in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, and said eagerly: "This brother, I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention...... Brother Feng?! ”
