Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seeking 2 (Chance Encounter on the Street)
Xie Yuanniang wants to find Jiang Cai today, she has no one in her hands now, so she can only ask for some manpower from Jiang Cai, but the news she inquired about is not good, she is also struggling with what to do, and in the end it really can't be done, so Jiang Cai can only go out and escort Hanxue to her hometown.
Jiang Cai can't be idle all day long, where there are more people, he will go there, Xie Yuanniang and Ling Mei walked three teahouses, and they haven't found Jiang Cai yet, so they were attracted by the figure of a few people.
Ruyizhai is the largest and most luxurious shop, and people often come and go with high status and wealth.
Standing not far away, Xie Yuanniang saw Gu Tingyi and his pedestrians.
Speaking of which, this group of people can all be born in Jinling City, and their backgrounds are either noble or high.
Gu Tingzhi, who was born in Gu Shangshu's mansion, Song Huairong, the prince of the county who was good friends with him, Donggu Feng and Ren Xianhong of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry were also among them, which made Xie Yuanniang quite surprised, but she didn't expect Ren Xianhong, who was from a low background, to have a relationship with these few distinguished people.
As for Donggu Feng, Xie Yuanniang had met in her own mansion in her previous life, and Gu Tingzhi had entertained him, so he could recognize it at a glance at this time.
Xie Yuanniang also knew the woman, first the bright and cold Song Nanrong, and then Dong Shi, there was a delicate girl standing next to Dong Shi, Dong Shi has always been a dustless person who rarely talks to people with a smile on his face.
Dong Shi's mother is the daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
Xie Yuanniang guessed that this was Dong Shi's grandmother's cousin, Donggufeng's sister Dongnanzhi, and then Su Yingying, who was smiling and lively, stood next to her.
Su Yingying is the daughter of Su Shen, a squire in the military department, and Su Shen was General Liu's deputy general, and this Su Shen was also killed in his previous life because of evidence that General Liu was wronged.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuanniang sneered, saying such a thing on her face, but who could know that there was such an inside story in private.
Dong Shi has always been good friends with Su Yingying, and it is also the reason why the Dong family has close contacts with the Su family, one is the head of the household department, and the other is the new military department squire who has not been in office for a long time.
Her eyes fell on Ren Xianhong's body again, and her heart was a little stuffy, wouldn't it be because of this that there were many opportunities to contact Dong Shi in her previous life, and Ren Xianhong married Dong Shi for a long time, right?
If it hadn't been for something happening today, she really wouldn't have known that there was such a situation.
Xie Yuanniang came out today to find Jiang Cai's house, and at this time she felt that it was important to fold Ren Xianhong and Dong Shi together, after all, there was only one duck, Dong Shi was the daughter of the household Shangshu, and she was better than her in all aspects.
Seeing that several people entered Ruyi Zhai, Xie Yuanniang did not hesitate, and then entered the Wenxiang House opposite Ruyi Zhai.
Wenxiangju is the largest teahouse in Jinling, the most ordinary pot of tea costs one tael of silver, and the cheapest dim sum also costs two taels of silver, Xie Yuanniang's private money saved for several years can only be used once in Wenxiangju The cheapest tea, which can not enter the private room.
As soon as the master and servant came in, Xiao Er greeted him, "How many girls are there?" Can I make a reservation beforehand? ”
Xie Yuanniang's eyes swept around the hall on the first floor, there was no one, her eyes finally stopped at the position by the window, Xiao Er was a bright-eyed person, and immediately saw that this little lady was brightly dressed, I was afraid that there was not so much silver in her pocket, and she didn't want to embarrass the guests, so she immediately recommended the location at the window.
“.... This position by the window, you can see the street as soon as you raise your eyes, we smell the window paper of the Xiangju paste two layers, as long as the window is closed, you can cut off the sound outside, and it is not noisy, the girl comes to drink tea alone, and the small one sits on the line. ”
I can't afford to spend it, and I can't say it all the time, I can't make people unhappy, and I don't look down on it at all.
Xie Yuanniang felt that the things here were expensive, and they were still worth the price.
She rejected Xiao Er's kindness, "Is there a private room upstairs?" ”
Xiao Er's smile was even bigger, "Yes, the girl goes up to the second floor with the little one." ”
The private room on the second floor was by the window, Xie Yuanniang sat down and ordered a few special snacks of Xiangwenju, and asked for a pot of Biluochun, Xiao Eryi retreated, and Ling Mei was in a hurry to speak, "Girl, I didn't bring so much silver with the slave maid this time." ”
"I'm just a few taels of private money, how much more can you bring if you want to? I don't think it's enough money for a plate of dim sum. Xie Yuanniang knew what she was worried about, "In such a big place, you can hang up the account, and then go to the house to settle the bill, you don't have to worry, I'll talk to my father when I go back." ”
It's a big deal to imitate a few paintings and sell them.
Reliving a lifetime, Xie Yuanniang always doesn't want to wronged herself, eat well, and use it well.
Ling Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and immediately smiled happily again, "The slave maid heard that the horseshoe cake in Wenxiang Pavilion is the most delicious. ”
"Then you can eat more." Xie Yuanniang replied absentmindedly, her eyes had already swept to Ruyizhai across the street.
After Xiao Er brought things up, Gu Ting and a pedestrian also walked out of Ruyizhai, four men walked in front, women behind, and the figure of the group quickly disappeared from the street.
Xie Yuanniang slowly retracted her gaze, her ears quietly listened to the movement outside, and without a few breaths, she heard footsteps and talking outside, Xie Yuanniang pouted, they arrived at Yaxing, and they had to come over to taste tea after shopping.
Not long after, there was a faint voice next door, it was talking about the clan debate, and there was also a mention of the champion building, Xie Yuanniang got up and put her ear on the partition of the private room, and faintly heard someone mentioning her.
"Xie Er Zhuangyuanlou became famous in the first battle, and I haven't seen her in the past few days of ethnology debates."
Xie Yuanniang was not familiar with this voice, and guessed that it was not the southeast branch of the Gu family, but Su Yingying.
Xie Yuanniang heard the voice below, it was Song Nanrong.
"Yesterday, I heard that she also went to Fairy Lake and had a quarrel with Yang Zhaodi, she is the most high-profile on weekdays, but now Zhuangyuan Building shines but rarely appears in front of everyone, I'm afraid that it is because of Lord Xie's demotion that I feel ashamed to face us."
The woman was chattering, and a male voice sounded, "Tingzhi, there is still something in the house, I will retire first and meet again another day." ”
Xie Yuanniang's fingers slowly clenched, it was Gu Tingzhi.
"I also have something to do, so let's go together." This time it was Ren Xianhong who spoke.
There were originally four men in the private room, but now two are gone, and it is not easy for the women to keep people, Song Huairong was also a little embarrassed on his face, and he said a few polite words, and wanted to give them away, but in the end he was refused to stay.
"Girl?" Ling Mei stopped to eat when her master was eavesdropping on the partition, and when she saw that the girl was going out, she didn't understand it even more.
"You wait here, I'll be right back. Women should be weak and coquettish in front of men, so that men can remember you. Xie Yuanniang excitedly dropped her words, pushed open the door of the private room, and saw that the door next door was closed, so she lifted her skirt and chased downstairs.
