Mrs. Huo stood in the gazebo, carrying her hands behind her back, and holding a fan in one hand.

There are dozens of pots of blooming autumn chrysanthemums around the pavilion, the cool breeze is mixed with bursts of chrysanthemum fragrance, and there is a faint sweetness of osmanthus flowers, such as a good medicine that can be eye-catching and refreshing, making people clear from the bottom of their hearts.

Mrs. Huo raised her head and looked at the blue sky through the eaves of the pavilion. Autumn was crisp, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and only a few pigeons swept by, leaving a string of cooing sounds.

"Big lady, Fifth Prince Song has come out of the courtyard of the Ninth Master, and he is already gone at this time."

Green Cloud's voice sounded behind her, and Mrs. Huo slowly turned around: "Just leave like this?" ”

Lu Yun said: "I lost my soul, I tripped over the threshold when I went out, and Wang Lijia talked to him, and he didn't seem to hear it." ”

Mrs. Huo didn't ask again, picked up the account book from the stone table in the pavilion, and continued to read it.

Song Shen since that day, did not appear in Shuangjing Hutong, after the donation of Yongji Temple, Huo Jiuye in the capital fame, although she despised the official body from the seventh grade, but the Huo family is also different from other merchants, she soon gathered a bunch of new friends, most of these people are the same as her merchant children, the family more or less have one or two money to donate fame, but still not as good as her official body.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived in Chongyang, Huo Roufeng, Lu Yu, Huang Xianjun and Li Ye from the third room of the Li family in Yangzhou made an appointment to go to Xiangshan to climb high to see the red leaves.

Lu Yu is the eldest grandson of the Lu family in Shanxi. Jin Taixiang, one of the four major money banks, is from the Lu family. The Lu family moved to the capital as early as ten years ago, and the general number of Jin Taixiang was also moved to the capital from Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the old man Lu donated a show of fame in his early years, and several children either married the daughter-in-law of the scholarly family, or also married into the official eunuch's family, to Lu Yu's generation, the Lu family has gained a firm foothold in the capital, Lu Yu's mother is the sister of Fan Guangyun, the prefect of Suzhou, and the old Fan Jinyi of the court is the same clan.

Lu Yu is two years older than Huo Roufeng, and both Huang Xianjun are studying at Shuren Academy. The Huang family was originally a scholarly family, but unfortunately the family fell in the middle, in the early years, an aunt of the Huang family was a palace maid in the palace, somehow, into the eyes of the prince at that time, the king of Fu was the younger brother of the first emperor, and he was honest, therefore, he was very favored by the queen mother, he opened his mouth to ask for a palace maid, and the queen mother approved, and later the aunt wife of the Huang family gave birth to a son and two daughters to the king of Fu, and the queen mother personally made the decision, and she was made a side concubine of the king of Fu. The Huang family is also thriving day by day, and later started the Qingxi pepper business, the family business is getting bigger and bigger, the son of Huang Fangfei was the general of Zhenguo, and privately invested in the business of the foreign family, Qingxi pepper was originally a tribute, and the Huang family became an imperial businessman.

Huang Xianjun is different from Lu Yu, although he is still studying in the academy, but he usually mixes with the children of the clan, he has a nickname called "Huang Datou", that is, he is the wronged leader, and the children of the clan go out to play, and he is the wronged boss who pays the bill.

The other is named Li Ye, who is from the Li family in Yangzhou. The Li family is a big salt merchant, and this year the Li family bought a garden in Hangzhou, and Huo Roufeng also went to Li Jiayuan for a banquet, where he met Xie Sicheng. Xie Sicheng and Li Zhen of the Li family's room know each other, Li Zhen is Li Ye's eldest brother across the room, Li Ye is from the Li family's third room, and his family, like the Huo family, only came to the capital this year. In the past few years, the life of the salt merchants has not been easy, the Li family wants to do some other business, and has set up a number of shops in the north and south of Zhili, and the Li family has also moved from Yangzhou to the capital.

Li Ye is sixteen years old, the oldest of these people, and he proposed to go to Xiangshan today.

Among the four people, Huo Roufeng is the youngest, and the Huo family is a newcomer, but she is the only one who has seen the Queen Mother and has been rewarded by the emperor, so the other three people are very close to her.

Early in the morning, the Huang family's carriage stopped at Shuangjing Hutong, Huang Xianjun jumped out of the carriage and said to the little maid at the door of Huo's house with a grin: "Go and see if your ninth master is up?" Let's just say I found a new sheep soup restaurant, and the sheep intestines there are delicious. ”

Huo Jiu loves to eat beef and mutton, especially love to drink mutton soup, Huang Xianjun's biggest hobby is to invite people to eat, that day I heard Huo Jiu say that he had not drunk authentic mutton soup when he came to the capital, so he asked people to look around the capital, and finally let him find this mutton soup restaurant opened by Cangzhou people.

What he said really worked, and before he could make a cup of tea, Huo Jiu ran out with Jin Dou'er.

"Huang Xianjun, where is the sheep soup restaurant you mentioned, is it opened by a person from the Northwest?" She asked, grimacingly.

"It's not opened by the Northwesterners, but it tastes good, especially the sheep intestines, tsk, I've seen it for the first time, you go and taste it, I promise you eat it once and want to eat it next time."

Huang Xianjun ran to the carriage as he spoke, and said to Huo Roufeng: "You can take a car with me, Li Ye will pick up Lu Yu, after drinking the mutton soup, let's meet at the door of the Xiangshan Restaurant at the foot of Xiangshan." ”

"Li Ye went to pick up Lu Yu? Does he know the way? Huo Roufeng asked curiously, although Li Ye is older than them, this person has a problem, that is, he doesn't know the road, the same road, others will remember it once they walk it, but Li Ye has walked four or five times, and he still doesn't know it.

"He doesn't know, he knows his handlebar style, Lu Yu doesn't have a carriage, if Li Ye doesn't pick him up, he can only take a sedan chair." The two got into the carriage, and Huang Xianjun took two pieces of dried meat, one for Jin Dou'er, and one into his mouth.

"Lu Yu doesn't have a carriage? Really? Huo Roufeng asked, she met Lu Yu through Huang Xianjun, and she didn't know her very well/

Huang Xianjun smiled: "Really, it's true." Don't you know, Lu Yu's grandfather wanted to make his children become scholars, no, it was to make them more like scholars than scholars, usually not let them wear silk clothes, they can only take a sedan chair when they go out, the sedan chair is still the most shabby kind, and the silver in Lu Yu's pocket may not be as much as your little girl. Not to mention the carriage, they only have two carriages in Lufu, one is used by the old lady Lu herself, and the other is used by the ladies when they go out to offer incense. ”

Huo Roufeng's eyes widened when he heard this, the Lu family, Jin Taixiang's Lu family, there are only two carriages?

"No wonder the last time I came to my house, Lu Yu ate two bear paws alone." Huo Roufeng said.

"Two bear's paws is too much? Last time I invited a few flower girls in Baofeng Building, we all watched the flower girls dance and didn't care about eating, after a while, look at the table again, guess what, Lu Yu ate half a table of wine alone! ”
