Chapter 247: The Prince of Zhenbei
Li Qingyi shook his head, "I haven't even seen my mother, and I don't even know."
As he spoke, several people had already arrived at the place, and they quickly put the matter behind them.
The two of them were mainly to accompany Wei Jin'er, but they just visited a few shops, Wei Jin'er was not interested, Li Qingyi thought about it, and asked Xianglan to go to Xuandehou's mansion, ask her sister Li Miaoran, and Chen Zheng's cousin Zhen next door if they were free, and invite them to Bibo Building for a small gathering.
Bibo Building is the second aunt Ruan's new property in the capital, heavy pavilions, extremely elegant. A blue wave separates the east and west gardens. The East Garden tastes tea, poems and piano chess, and the West Garden has all kinds of pots, horse hangings, and leaf cards, and they all set up separate elegant rooms.
You can eat when you're hungry, and you can sleep when you're sleepy.
Go in the morning, leave in the evening, and you don't even need to change places.
In short, it is a place for people to have fun, talk and get together, and only entertain female guests.
Once opened, the daughters of the ladies in Beijing all like it, and they will visit from time to time, which is really a wonderful place to forget about annoyance and pass the time.
Although the rule of only entertaining female guests is quite controversial, it is even more tempting to try, after all, this kind of good place for men not to enter, to put women in the first place, and to disdain men, can not say less, can only say none.
I feel comfortable when I think about it.
The county lord of Yuanheng has never been to Bibo Building, but the third lady of the house, Guo Shi, has already come and mentioned it twice.
If it weren't for Mrs. Wei's presence and her children to worry about, Guo would probably have to play here every day, after all, she was not short of money to spend, and she and her husband Wei Shiqian were disgusted, and they only hoped that they would not see each other for the rest of their lives.
"Guo's eyebrows fluttered when he mentioned this Bibo Building, which can be seen to be a good place, but her tone is very sour, she is also a rich person, people make money, she spends money."
Li Qingyi couldn't help but smile, she also admired the second aunt's management methods very much, except for the party, everywhere a woman's money is better than a man's. I don't know how the second aunt came up with such a gimmick as "only accepting female guests", which is quite a bit of a disapproval of men, and has earned enough attention.
The mother and daughter waited for someone while strolling around, and Huan Lan came with Li Miaoran and Zhen Zhen after a short time.
"Sister Li!" When Zhen Zhen saw Li Qingyi, she was even more excited than Li Miaoran, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she rushed towards Li Qingyi, and then because of the presence of the county lord of Yuanheng, she quickly stopped her hand and pretended to be a good baby, "Zhen'er has seen the county lord."
The county lord of Yuanheng had seen Mrs. Zhen a few times, nodded with a smile, and took back the bracelet in his hand as a gift to her, Zhen Zhen shyly accepted it, "Thank you for the county lord's love."
Li Miaoran was full of curiosity about the former aunt, and hesitated to salute and say hello, but she didn't know how to call it, and finally only held back the word "county lord".
Lord Yuanheng didn't care either, and withdrew the bracelet on his left hand and put it on her wrist, "Ran'er has also grown so big."
"Thank you, Lord Xie......"
Li Qingyi smiled, introduced them and Wei Jin'er to each other, and the group went to Bibo Building.
When they arrived at the door, there was a brocade-robed boy standing outside the carriage.
He didn't seem to know the rules of Bibo Building, and the maid who received him in front of the door saluted him and said with a smile: "This son, we only accept female guests in Bibo Building, I'm really sorry."
"Oh? Only women?" The brocade-robed boy retracted his step, and he didn't blame it, he shook his head with a smile, "It's a pity, I see that the façade here is quite elegant, and it must be a good place, but you are not allowed to enter."
The little guy next to him said, "It's strange, the little one hasn't seen a place where only women can enter."
The boy in the brocade robe also asked a little unwillingly, "Then does your owner have any other shops that only allow men to enter?"
The maid laughed at him, covered her lips and shook her head.
The brocade robe boy was a little disappointed, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw Li Qingyi and the others walking towards this side.
Just one side, Li Qingyi's appearance is unforgettable, but it is a coincidence.
The brocade-robed boy smiled and arched his hand at them, Li Qingyi nodded politely at him, and led everyone into the Bibo Building.
Li Miaoran was curious, "Who is this person?"
Before Li Qingyi could answer, Zhen Zhen was surprised: "Didn't her mother run to your house twice in three days? How could you not know who he is?"
Everyone was curious.
Li Miaoran asked, "Who?"
"Isn't it the princess of Zhenbei? That one just now is the prince of Zhenbei Wang's grandson!"
Li Qingyi was stunned, and glanced at the county lord of Yuanheng, a little suspicious that Fang Cai's encounter was not a coincidence.
But Gongsun Yi's behavior is not like that.
Li Miaoran replied, "Princess Zhenbei has been here a few times, but she didn't bring her son."
Zhen Zhen lowered her voice and said, "When I went out with my cousins, I met once, my cousin said that he was the son of a criminal minister, and many people avoided him, but he didn't go to cause trouble, and when he came to Beijing, he was always alone."
Li Miaoran continued: "Really? That's pretty self-aware, and it's not annoying."
The two of you say one sentence to me, like a thing.
Li Qingyi thought more than they did, but now was not the time to talk about this, "Let's go, let's go in first, and we'll have fun and go back today!"
The two little girls cheered a little, their eyes were full of excitement, and even Wei Jin'er was infected by them, and her expression relaxed a little.
It's their own industry, as soon as Li Qingyi and Li Miaoran entered, the lady in charge recognized them and stepped forward to receive them in person.
Li Qingyi smiled: "You are busy, let's take a look first."
The lady of the steward stepped back and called a maid to follow them, and obeyed the orders at any time.
After walking inside, I saw that the two ladies were discussing whether to play horse hanging or leaf cards, Zhen Zhen's little face suddenly twitched, "Mother? Auntie?"
Mrs. Zhen was stunned when she heard the voice, and when she turned around and saw her little daughter, she was about to ask her why she was here, when she heard her sister Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites next to her come forward and salute, "The courtier has seen the county lord."
Mrs. Zhen hadn't seen it yet, so she hurriedly stepped forward to salute at this time.
Lord Yuanheng smiled, "The two ladies don't need to be polite."
The two of them were a little surprised to see her expression.
When she saw the county lord of Yuanheng in the past, she always kept a straight face and didn't smile, and she was in such a good mood today?
Li Qingyi and the others also stepped forward to say hello, and the county lord of Yuanheng intended to let a few children play freely, so he turned around and said to them, "You guys go play by yourself, I'll say a few words to a few ladies."
Zhen Zhen greeted her mother and aunt with a smile, and then went crazy with Li Qingyi.
Mrs. Zhen was a little embarrassed, "This girl in my family is just a skin monkey......
The county lord of Yuanheng was indeed in a good mood, and smiled again, "It's still young, it's better to be lively."
"The children are going to play by themselves, so the county lord might as well play cards with us to relieve boredom."
The county lord of Yuanheng happily agreed, and was about to ask them what they wanted to play, when they saw the princess of Zhenbei coming in from outside.
