: : : :

 : : : :Xiao Yu barely raised a smile on his face and said: "Mother, I fell off one of my earrings, I thought it should have been accidentally dropped when I got out of the car, but I looked for it over there for a long time, but fortunately I found it!" After speaking, Xiao Yu also pointed to the pendant on his ear.

 : : : :"So, I said why haven't I seen your figure for a long time!"

 : : : : "Mother, but you're going back?" , Xiaoyu asked.

 : : : :Mrs. shook her head and said, "The auspicious time is coming, I see that you are not upstairs, so I will come out to take a look, by the way, breathe!" ”

 : : : :Xiaoyu hurriedly walked a few steps to Mrs. and said: "It's all my daughter's bad, and I didn't say a word to my mother when I came out, so my mother was worried!" “

 : : : : Mrs. looked at Xiaoyu quietly, and said: "It's better to be outside than at home, where to tell me the best, and bring a few more maids and mothers, be careful that those who don't have long eyes collide with you!" ”

 : : : :The small fish bows its head and says yes.

 : : : :The three of them returned to the second floor, sat down to rest and drink tea, and heard a gong outside the store, and then the sound of silk and bamboo, and a woman's singing came.

 : : : :"Orchid is yiyi, and its fragrance is promoted. Don't pick and admire, Yu Lan is hurt. ”

 : : : :"It's Yilan Cao!" , Qi Pan listened attentively and said in surprise.

 : : : : Everyone got up and stood at the railing in front of the window and looked down.

 : : : :A team of women in colorful clothes holding musical instruments such as pipa and yueqin, playing and singing slowly from a distance.

 : : : :In the center of the procession is a float surrounded by various flowers, on which a high platform is placed, and a woman in red is standing on the stage and dancing in the wind, fluttering like a fairy, as if she will return at any time.

 : : : :From a distance, the woman in red has a graceful figure and a graceful dancing posture, just a glimpse of the elegance has been unparalleled, and even the flowers under the stage have lost their color.

 : : : :At the front of the team is a team of stilts, each character on the stilts has a ribbon of "Lan Kwai Fong opens", and the boy with a big-headed doll carries a colorful basket, wears it around in the team, and from time to time takes out a handful of copper coins from the basket and scatters it to the onlookers on the side of the road.

 : : : : The officials stood on both sides of the road to stop the people who were in high spirits, and as soon as the money was scattered, the people made a noise and bowed down to rob it, but fortunately no one fell.

 : : : :The colorful procession stopped in front of Lan Kwai Fong, and the stilt figures lined up in a row to pull up a huge red silk banner, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced and wrote: "Lan Kwai Fong opening rewards are all 20% off". The woman in red on the high platform sang and danced, singing loudly and dancing enchantingly.

 : : : :Xiaoyu only heard the passers-by downstairs exclaiming: "Look, look, isn't that the Oiran red apricot girl from Huayue Building?" ”

 : : : :"Wow, it's really a red apricot girl, it's really a good name, this song is so good"

 : : : :"Today is really worth it, just the dance of the red apricot girl, this figure, it's worth the trip!"

 : : : : "Brother Liu, let's go to the field of the red apricot girl tonight, this face is too ecstatic", perhaps because of the practice of heart decision, Xiao Yu heard the discussion of the onlookers downstairs clearly.

 : : : :She stared at the red apricot girl on the stage, and saw that she was slender and tall, dressed in a wide-sleeved red dress, with a high bun on her head, and a peony on her high bun was stretching in the wind.

 : : : :The red apricot girl has phoenix eyes and eyebrows, apricot face and peach cheeks, wide sleeves flying, dancing is a piece of heavenly girl scattered flowers. With the wide sleeves flying and stretching, the posture rotates, and the colorful flowers float from the left and right of her sleeves. Between the anticipations, the beautiful eyes are affectionate, and the smiles are all exciting.

 : : : : Everyone was attracted by the song and dance of the red apricot girl, and gradually everyone was fascinated and did not say a word, until the pipa beware of a stroke, the red apricot girl froze with a beautiful turn, and the onlookers exclaimed again and again.

 : : : :Mrs. and Qi Pan and Xiao Yu stood on the second floor to watch the opening ceremony, and Mrs. nodded while watching: "I can't see it, this month Gongzi is very talented in business!" He even invited the Oiran of Huayue Tower, to see how big this stroke is, I am afraid that the opening of Lan Kwai Fong will be spread in the capital for a while.

 : : : :Qi Pan nodded again and again on the side, and sighed: "I used to see in the book that there were women who could do palm dances in ancient times, I just didn't believe it, but now I see this girl's graceful dancing posture and light steps, I am afraid that she can also do palm dance, which is really a must in Beijing!" ”

 : : : :Xiao Yu smiled secretly in her heart, except for her, no one knew the relationship between Yuegongzi and Huayuelou.

 : : : :Hongxing had just finished performing, and when everyone's eyes were gathered in front of the door of Lan Kwai Fong, Yue Gongzi walked out of the door with a smile on his face and a calm mind.

 : : : :Yue Gongzi wears a black gauze crown, and has changed into a set of cyan brocade robes, on which the golden light is faintly visible, Xiaoyu stares closely, it is actually embroidered with light gold thread orchid pattern on the hem, and the goose-yellow underwear at the collar collar is lined with clear eyebrows, and his body exudes a bookish atmosphere.

 : : : :When the red apricot saw the moon boy come out, he had an extra flower basket in his hand like magic. She walked down the high platform and out of the float, and every step seemed to reach everyone's heart.

 : : : : Everyone involuntarily held their breath, watching the red apricot walk in front of the moon boy, Ying Ying bowed, lightly opened the cherry lips, and the warbler said: "Huayuelou Hongxing led the sisters to come to congratulate the opening of Gongzi Lan Kwai Fong, and I wish the son a wide range of wealth and customers!" With that, he presented the flower basket in his hand.

 : : : :Yue Gongzi took the flower basket with a smile and asked the girls of Huayue Building to stand aside and watch the ceremony.

 : : : :Yue Gongzi stepped forward first, waved at the onlookers, and said loudly: "Thank you for your love and kindness, today my Lan Kwai Fong is officially opened." During the opening period, all products of Lan Kwai Fong will be 20% off, and there will be gifts for a certain amount of money, welcome everyone to visit! ”

 : : : :After speaking, he turned to face the door, took a slight step forward, and gently pulled the red silk covering the plaque above the gate. The red silk slowly fell, and the three beautiful and elegant characters of "Lan Kwai Fong" came into view. With the movements of Yue Gongzi, cheers rang out among the surrounding onlookers.

 : : : :Yue Gongzi turned to face the crowd and shook it chicly, and then a servant woman brought a big basket, and Yue Gongzi lifted the basket and sprinkled it to the crowd.

 : : : :The basket is naturally filled with copper coins, and the magnanimity of the son of the moon has made the people of the capital talk about it for more than half a month, and the name of Lan Kwai Fong has since spread in the capital and is a household name. Even the girls and daughters-in-law of small families are proud to be able to buy a set of Megasine face cream.

 : : : :At the end of the ceremony, a crowd flooded the entire gate of Lan Kwai Fong.

 : : : :The ladies on the second floor are still talking about the opening ceremony just now, and Xiaoyu already feels excited. When Mrs. saw that the ceremony was over, she said to Qi Panhe Xiaoyu: "Pan'er, Xiaoyu, since the ceremony is over, let's go back early, so as not to be crowded again for a while!" ”

 : : : : The three got into the carriage, and the carriage stopped as soon as it reached the gate of the courtyard. I could only hear the commotion ahead. Xiao Yu strangely lifted the curtain of the car window and looked forward, it turned out that the carriage of the Hou Mansion at the gate of the courtyard was blocked by a black canopy carriage, and the guards of the Hou Mansion scolded again and again, but the carriage did not move.

 : : : : "Whose carriage is so arrogant that even the carriage of the Hou Mansion dares to let it!" , Zi Yan leaned out half of her body and went outside the carriage.

 : : : :The commander of the guards hurriedly walked over, asked the guards next to the carriage, and then looked at the black canopy carriage, and then trotted over and said, "Madam, it's the carriage that Huayuelou came to pick up the red apricot girl." ”

 : : : :Zi Yan said angrily when she heard this: "She is a dusty woman, how can she have such a big pomp, she doesn't even pay attention to the Hou Mansion, she is too arrogant!" Madame turned her head to look at Zi Yan, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, it's better to have more things to do when you're out of the house, Commander Shi, you go and discuss it with the coachman, and let him move it." ”

 : : : : Xiao Yu saw the stone commander go over to the carriage and discuss with the coachman for a while. The coachman of the black-canopy carriage reluctantly shook the reins and made way for the carriage of the Hou Mansion.

 : : : :The Houfu carriage drove through the gap between the canopy carts, and the little fish looked through the gap in the gauze curtain at the window of the awning carriage. Sure enough, there was a woman in red, veiled, sitting in the car. Although it was a hurried glance, Xiao Yu felt that although this woman had a similar face to the red apricot girl who danced on the high stage before, her temperament was very different, and she was like two people.

 : : : : Although there was a slight doubt, Xiaoyu didn't care, and left it when he returned to the Hou Mansion. However, after returning to the Hou Mansion, no matter how Xiao Yu asked about the startling horse, the lady kept silent, or diverted from other words, and never said who the person who was planning to harm them was.

 : : : :Xiao Yu was quite helpless when he saw that Mrs. didn't say anything, so he had to secretly tell Bai Fubai Rong to be more careful.

 : : : : In a few days, it will be the Laba Festival, according to the practice of previous years, the Hou Mansion will invite relatives and friends to drink and feast.

 : : : : And this year, Mrs. said that she and Qi Pan's housekeeping skills were to exercise her and Qi Pan's housekeeping skills, and all the arrangements for the banquet would be handed over to Xiaoyu and Qi Pan. Therefore, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan have been very busy in the past two days.

 : : : :"Second sister, who are invited to this banquet, how many people are invited, what dishes are eaten, and what level of table is prepared?" These mothers don't tell us how we can prepare! Qi Pan asked Xiao Yu again and again with a little anxiety.

 : : : : This time Mrs. is a big hand, she didn't explain anything, only let the two of her prepare, no wonder Qi Pan made trouble.

 : : : :Xiaoyu sat on the warm couch, biting his fingers lightly, and thought for a while.

 : : : : She remembered some of the encounters she had when she first came to power in her previous life, and there she was! Her eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her head happily and asked Qi Pan: "Sister, in previous years, there were precedents to follow for the Laba Banquet in Fuzhong, and the dishes of previous years, the guests who came should have been recorded, right?" ”

 : : : :Qi Pan clapped his hands, and suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "Oh, sister, you're so right, why didn't I expect it, these things have always been recorded in the house!" That's right, we looked over how we did it before, and it must be no problem according to the previous year's practice! She stood up excitedly and hurriedly arranged for Bai Shao to go to Zhou's mother to come over for questioning.
