Chapter 199: Eating and Talking Tea
Li Xia looked at it for a while, then turned his head back and looked at Guo Sheng, "The fourth brother went to Hangzhou to ask the fifth brother for an appointment, and it was best to let the uncle follow." ”
Guo Sheng was stunned, "What does the girl mean?" ”
"At the end of the year, go back to the capital, my uncle is also the best with us, in the spring of the next year, let my uncle go back to Mingzhou, pick up my grandmother, the Xu family has a house in the capital, and my mother grew up in the capital, so I should go back." Li Xia's words were extremely concise.
Guo Sheng listened intently, "What about Jiangning Mansion?" Would you like to take a trip? ”
"You don't have to go to Jiangning Mansion, my uncle is a little honest, Jiangning Mansion, you don't have to know too much." Li Xia lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.
Guo Sheng nodded again and again, Bai Jingning's matter, Xu Huan was clear, and when he saw Li Caosi, he was afraid that Li Caosi would say all his words...... At this time, Li Caosi really shouldn't know more.
"I understand, after he follows the fourth master to Hangzhou to ask for an appointment, he will go back to Mingzhou directly to pick up Mrs. Huo and set off to the capital with us?" Guo Sheng and Li Xia confirmed the details.
"How to get from Mingzhou to the capital, we don't care." Li Xia glanced at Guo Sheng, "The old lady has an idea, let her be, it's not a big deal." ”
"Yes." Guo Sheng hurriedly bowed and agreed, and when he saw Li Xia lifting the pen and was about to start writing, he stood up, walked to the door, and read Li Wenlan's endorsement with his hands behind his back.
……………………
In the evening, first Li Xianling and Mrs. Xu muttered and discussed, this is going to Hangzhou to ask for a date, only let the fourth brother go to a junior, is it a bit big, this family business, after all, it is Gao Pan, even if it is not Gao Pan, it stands to reason that this invitation, either Li County Ling will come to the door, or, at least Mrs. Xu has to go, but neither of them can leave...... Well, fortunately, there is an uncle.
Mrs. Xu thought about it a little, and the fourth brother said that her grandfather would be the next one, but she was afraid that she would have to return to the capital, so Xu Huan had better go to the capital with them and prepare for the spring festival of the year after tomorrow.
If this is the case, the old lady will have to be alone in Mingzhou for four or five years, and the old lady is old...... Well, it's best to take the old lady to the capital as well, and the Xu family's house in the capital doesn't know if it's still there......
Mrs. Xu discussed with Mama Hong, and Mama Hong strongly agreed.
Li Xianling and Mrs. Xu discussed with Xu Huan again, and Xu Huan agreed.
Although the matter was set in a hurry, fortunately, Xu Huan was a person who could go out with a few clothes, Mrs. Xu and Mama Hong were busy in the middle of the night, and early the next morning, Li Xianling personally sent Xu Huan and Li Wensong on the boat and set off for Hangzhou City.
……………………
A month later, letters from Hangzhou City and Jiangning Mansion were handed over, and the wedding date of Li Wenshan and the Tang family girl was set for April next year, and after the New Year, Mrs. Huang took her daughter to rush back to the capital.
Li County Ling also discussed with Mrs. Xu, and the same as the last time, after the New Year, out of the fifteenth, Guo Sheng will take care of the dots along the way, Mrs. Xu will return to the capital with the children and luggage first, and Li County Ling and Master Chen will be in Gaoyou County, after handing over official business, and then set off to rush back to the capital.
Xu Huan also brought a letter from Mingzhou, and Mrs. Huo meant that she wanted to rush to the capital by sea first, so she would not be with her sister and brother-in-law.
Guo Sheng handed the letter to Li Xia, pinched his fingers on the three words of the sea route, and smiled.
Li Xia snorted with a smile.
……………………
Outside the golden autumn Gaoyou City, the autumn is high and refreshing.
In the corner of a teahouse in Beisanli, Li Xia was wearing a half-used robe by Li Wenlan and a boy's dress, and sat side by side with Li Wenlan next to Guo Sheng, looking at the huge table with two large tables in the middle of the teahouse, and a dozen or so chairs neatly placed around the table.
Today, in this tea shop, there is a talk about tea to eat, Guo Sheng took her and Li Wenlan to see the excitement.
Li Xia pinched a piece of mung bean cake in his hand, nibbled it little by little, and moved his eyes from the table that was already full of various refreshments and the empty chair to the door of the teahouse.
Li Wenlan opened her eyes wide, saw the outside from the inside, and saw the inside from the outside, and couldn't help but pull Guo Sheng, "Sir, let's go, this is not good-looking." ”
"It's not pretty." Guo Sheng glanced at Li Xia, who was looking at the attentive Li Xia, leaned down to Li Wenlan's ear and whispered: "If you enter the official career in the future, you must start from the place, such things must be encountered, and you must pay attention to them, just like when you study, if you don't like it, you must also learn to memorize it." ”
"Okay, I understand," Li Wenlan took a deep breath, sat upright, lifted her shoulders, fell, put her shoulders straight, and looked at the big table seriously.
A middle-aged man of medium height, thin and strong, in his thirties, wearing a brocade robe, followed by seven or eight strong men, came in menacingly, glanced at the tea table, and sat down at the top.
An old man on crutches, who didn't look very old, but pretended to be very old, came in with three trembling steps, standing in front of the tea table on crutches, and looked at it with a twisted brow.
The slightly chubby middle-aged man who came in after the old man wrinkled his eyebrows and looked angrily at the thin man sitting at the top, and said with his wrong teeth: "Fu Danian, what's the matter?" You also change the rules of eating and talking about tea? ”
Fu Danian sat down, squinted at the old man, and then leaned towards the slightly chubby man.
Guo Sheng was about to introduce in a low voice, but saw Li Xia looking at the door fixedly, and didn't look at the big tea table where the sword was swinging. Guo Sheng hurriedly followed Li Xia's gaze and looked at the door, a large group of idlers standing at the door stretched their necks to watch the excitement, which one was the girl looking at?
What Li Xia saw was standing at the door of the teahouse and watching the excitement, Jin Clumsy's little maid Mingjing. The mirror is there, Jin Zhuoyan must also be there, Li Xia's eyes swept outside the tea shop, and then looked at the dozen or so tables scattered in all corners of the tea shop to watch the lively tea customers.
Guo Sheng followed Li Xia's gaze and also looked around, Li Xia swept around, didn't see Jin Zhuoyan, looked at Guo Sheng, who followed her and swept around, with a trace of dazedness in his eyes, and then looked at Li Wenlan, who was holding his cheeks with his hands, looking at the lively Li Wenlan with a look of disgust, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't speak,
Guo Sheng no longer looked around, retracted his gaze, and looked at the group of men in the middle who were about to quarrel.
"Since you don't talk about the rules, you don't have to eat this tea, let's go, it's life or death, let's see you on the knife!" The middle-aged fat man took a sip and turned around to leave.
"Damn it, where Lao Tzu sits, he will become the head." The lean man spoke lazily, but the person stood up quickly, and when the person stood up, he stretched out his hand to help the old man with a cane, "Old Cui, please take a seat." ”
"You're welcome." Cui Lao's waist bent down again, and he moved his crutches before walking, "Brother Hou Qing, sit down, sit down first." Cui Lao moved over and sat on the main seat with three trembling steps, while letting the middle-aged fat man go.
Hou Qing sat down in the position indicated by Cui Lao, looked at an arrogant appearance, sat opposite Fu Danian, and snorted coldly.
