Chapter 52: Warn Na Woo-mao
Knowing the ins and outs of this matter clearly, Bai Lilan felt a little funny. These three princes are really childlike, running so far for thousands of miles, just to see what the woman who Xin Xiang praised looks like? This rich child's child is willful, and I don't know how the emperor will punish him after being arrested this time. But since he came for himself, it seemed too unfashionable to let him go back empty-handed like this as a master.
"Eldest sister, what are you laughing at?"
Sitting next to Bai Lilan, Bai Liqian also listened to the description just now, and wondered how the three princes ran over alone, when she saw Bai Lilan bending the corners of her mouth beside her, with a relaxed expression.
"It's nothing, I just think that since this third prince worships him so much, if I don't do something, it seems to be rude."
What is rude, the eldest sister is obviously smiling with a calculating face, I'm afraid that the third prince has also fallen into the eldest sister's calculations!
Bailixi sighed lightly, worried about the uncertain fate of the third prince.
At this moment, Na Xunmao, who was eating in the inn, suddenly had a chill on his back, and he sneezed involuntarily, then rubbed his nose and continued to eat with some confusion.
Knowing that the three princes went to Dadu, Xin Xiang hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Nanzhao, and after receiving the emperor's order, he personally went to Dadu to stabilize the prince. If you can persuade the prince, it is better to bring him back, if not, even if you use force, you must tie the third prince back to Liangcheng. Of course, this latter one was an order from the emperor, and he didn't have the courage to tie up the prince.
After receiving the secret report, Bai Lilan comforted Xu Mao while thinking about how to eat this big fat fish in her stomach. And Xu Mao was completely unaware of the ups and downs of the outside world, and went in and out with Baili Lan every day, trying his best to investigate the "impostor". At the same time, he was also deeply attracted by Baililan's wisdom and calmness, and a young heart beat again.
On this day, when he came back from the outer street with Baili Lan, the two sat in a well-decorated restaurant to eat, and it didn't take long for them to hear the shopkeeper coming over, holding a plate of fragrant and tender fried pork belly beef in his hand, standing in front of Baili Lan with a smile on his face, and said respectfully, "Baili girl, my boss heard that you are here, and specially ordered Xiao Xiao to bring you the signature dishes in the store, so that you can try it!" I hope the girl is not polite! ”
"Boss Xue is polite." Wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, there was alienation in Baililan's smile, which made people dare not blaspheme.
This Boss Xue was once a sworn enemy with Bai Lilan. Because of the booming business of his restaurant, he went over again and again to find trouble. Baili Lan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and let Dongxue send him away every time. Later, he really felt annoyed, so he personally went out and scolded him for being a bloody dog. It was also from that time that Boss Xue was awakened by Baili Lan's words, no longer indulged in the pursuit of fame and fortune, and began to study food wholeheartedly. And his hard work was not in vain, this almost bankrupt restaurant, with his efforts, came back to life, and attracted many customers with a few signature dishes. And every time Baili Lan passed by in this neighborhood, he would stop and come in to taste it. At the beginning, Boss Xue thought that Baili Lan was coming back to find fault, but after trying it twice, he found that Bai Lilan was just here to eat, and he gave more tips than other guests every time, and the guard in his heart slowly let go, and at the same time, he admired Bai Lilan's open-mindedness more and more. If it were him, the competitor's business would be booming, and it would be good if he didn't curse the villain, so how could he sincerely pay for it?
However, it is such a simple relationship, but in Xu Mao's eyes that are not pure, it is full of other possibilities.
"Is your shopkeeper familiar with Baili girl?"
The shopkeeper was stunned by Xu Mao's sudden words, and then said with a smile, "That's natural, my shopkeeper admires the character of the Baili girl, and every time the Baili girl comes, he will give something to show his gratitude." ”
Xu Mao snorted disdainfully, then turned his head and said sneeringly, "Do you fancy the character of the girl from Baili, or the appearance of the girl from Baili?" This man's face is too thick-skinned, and he is obviously courteous, but he speaks openly. Let your boss die, the girl will not take a fancy to him! ”
"This ...... I'm afraid that the son really misunderstood, my shopkeeper really doesn't mean to be a light girl! Don't say anything else, let's just say that the proprietress of my family, she can take strict care of the shopkeeper, where does the shopkeeper dare to mess with flowers outside! ”
"Ha, look, let's be honest, it turns out that your shopkeeper doesn't have a thief's heart, but he doesn't have a thief's guts! Really, I like other girls, but I'm embarrassed to say, what a wreck! ”
Seeing that Xu Mao was talking more and more excessively, the shopkeeper was red-eyed, looking like he was ready to come up and fight hard, and finally, Bai Lilan slapped the table and said angrily, "Enough!" Xu Mao, if there is no room for you here, you can go out and find a place to eat by yourself! Don't be full, find fault here! ”
Thinking that this Xu Mao is also a royal child, when has someone been reprimanded like this? Even when his father scolded him, he was very elegant and did not make people feel embarrassed. But this Baili Lan not only blamed himself in front of a junior second, but also said it so directly, it was really ...... It's so hateful!
When he saw the smile that the shopkeeper was holding back, Xu Mao stood up and shouted loudly, "What are you laughing at, seeing that you have no appetite, let me out!" ”
"I think it's up to you to go out!" Bai Lilan looked at him lightly, but it made the latter's heart chill, "Until you calm down, let's not meet, I don't want to talk to a madman!" After speaking, Baili Lan asked Qiushuang to leave a silver ingot, and then said "sorry" to the shopkeeper and walked out first.
"Oh, Baili girl, wait for me, I didn't mean that just now!" Seeing that Baili Lan was really gone, Xu Mao felt remorse and ran out after him.
Looking at Xu Mao's back, the shopkeeper felt a little sympathetic to him. After all, those who dare to think about Baili Lan, so far, none of them have a good end!
After chasing a few steps, Xu Mao followed Baili Lan's skills and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I talked too much." Girl Baili, you just don't say those words, okay? ”
"It's not good, if you say it, how can you let me forget it?"
Bai Lilan looked like she was not negotiable, which made Xu Mao very embarrassed. He was even wondering if he should tell her his true identity, even if he was suspected of using power to oppress people, he couldn't care about it. He wants to marry her, even if he can't be the main concubine, he must be the only side concubine!
Xu Mao had just mustered up his courage, and he heard Bai Lilan say coldly, "What are you going to do, you don't want to confess to me, right?" ”
When Baili Lan said this, Xu Mao's courage just now was like a balloon that had been punctured, and it quickly disappeared.
"Ha, Baili girl or something, I don't have that kind of non-centrific thinking below. It's just a little angry. When the girl is alone, she will always meet some strange people, and some people will even beat the girl's idea. In this case, it would be great if there was a man by the girl's side to protect her. After saying this, even Xu Mao admired his reflex ability, which could not only solve his embarrassment, but also knock on the side, so that Bai Lilan noticed that he was the man who could give her safety and protection!
"The man who protected me, there were really two of them, and then there were some things, so I left temporarily."
"Two, two!" Xu Mao didn't expect Baili Lan to answer like this, and he was a little surprised.
"That's right, two. Why are you so surprised? ”
"That...... It's just ......" for a while, Xu Mao felt that since he already liked her, there were some words that he had to make clear first. Even if it will disgust Baili Lan, it is better than in the future, when her father opposes her being with him! Therefore, Xu Mao gritted his teeth, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Baili girl, I hope you can check your behavior in the future!" Try to have as little contact as possible with men! Don't you have four maids by your side? Don't look for a valet, it's not good for your reputation! Also, try to minimize the chance of showing your head in the future, and if you must, wear a veil too, so that no man outside can see your beauty! You...... Don't worry, it won't be long before this inconvenience will be lifted, and my father will be ...... After my father agrees to our marriage, he can take you to Liangcheng, where I can give you a life of fine clothes and food, so that you will be prosperous and rich in this life! ”
After hearing Xu Mao's words, Xia Yu opened his mouth wide in shock, and Xu Mao's ears were so red that they could drip blood, and he didn't know what his face would look like.
After a while, there was still no reaction from Baili Lan, Xu Mao thought to himself, she was a woman, and she would be embarrassed to accept the confession. At this time, as a man, he should take responsibility and take the initiative to ask.
After paying attention in his heart, Xu Mao raised his head and said affectionately, "Lan'er, after marrying me, I will make you the happiest woman in the world!" ”
"Poof,"
Xia Yu smiled out very shamelessly, and seeing Xu Mao glaring at him, Xia Yu hurriedly covered his lips with his hands, trying to hold back the smile.
With a cold gaze staring straight at the cramped Xu Mao, Bai Lilan raised her eyebrows and said, "Who are you, why should I listen to you?" What a joke! ”
Being stabbed in the center by Baili Lan's straightforwardness, Xu Mao tried to calm himself down and said, "I, I'm going to marry you, naturally it's your husband." Isn't listening to her husband what a woman should do? ”
"Hmph, it's ridiculous, you want to be my husband? Then it depends on whether the Emperor of Bac Ninh agrees or not! ”
Xu Mao frowned uneasily and asked, "What does this have to do with Emperor Beining?" ”
"Looks like you really don't know anything about me!" Bai Lilan smiled, then turned around and said, "You should know that in Bac Ninh, there is a princess Chen, right?" ”
