Chapter 6 Shopping
At dusk, the soft slanting sun sprinkles on the banks of the Nanxun River, where the willows are nestled.
Countless brightly dressed talented and beautiful women, holding umbrellas or holding folding fans, walked back and forth on the pedestrian street.
When Pei Xiangjun returned to the capital, he completely became a broad wife of a wealthy family, walking along the street with a dignified demeanor, watching the small cruise ships coming and going; Xiuhe followed behind, holding various items bought from the street.
And Luo Ning walked beside him, with a cold and unsmiling temperament, followed by Xiao Yunli, who was walking birds, and Ping'er, who was full of curiosity when she came to the capital for the first time.
This trip is to buy small items for daily needs for the new house in the future, handkerchiefs and rouge knick-knacks or something.
Because Zhe Yunli will also have to live in a new house in the future, Luo Ning took the two with her, in order to explain the relationship to Ping'er, she wasted a lot of brains, and probably made up the reason - in order to hide her identity in the capital, she deigned to pretend to be a female friend of the Night Terror Hall, many people misunderstood that she was a good friend of the Night Terror Hall, don't explain it if you hear about it, just understand it yourself.
Ping'er knew the risks lurking in the capital, so she naturally understood that she didn't ask much, and quickly entered the role, treating herself as a little maid who had just been hired, so as not to be suspicious of outsiders.
Now that she has returned to the capital, Luo Ning can no longer compete with Sanniang for jealousy and quarrel like when she was out of the house, but she just keeps the appearance of rejecting people for thousands of miles, thinking about what happened last night.
Thinking of last night, Luo Ning was a little annoyed, she obviously found out about the accident, so she hurriedly ran to Sanniang's house, but Sanniang's stingy bun caught her and insisted on letting her choose whether to protect the front or the back.
The one who has no conscience in the Night Terror Hall only knows that hehe smirks and doesn't help her out!
If she gets along alone, the thief has to find another way, she has no choice, maybe she will grit her teeth and admit it, but Sanniang is here, how can she do that kind of self-embarrassment.
When she really can't push it off, she can only choose the lesser of two evils......
Luo Ning is walking on the street now, feeling very difficult to describe, just like not wearing pants, she has no face to see people at all, and she doesn't know how much perseverance it took to maintain her cold fairy temperament.
Thinking that it would take a month to return to the appearance of a mature woman, Luo Ning was very uneasy, in case Yunli found out that she was so outrageous in private, I am afraid that she would not be able to raise her head in this life......
After thinking about it, a group of five people went up the pedestrian street, bought a lot of daily things, and gradually came to the vicinity of Wende Bridge.
Wendeqiao is inhabited by dignitaries, and most of the things sold in the surrounding shops are luxury goods, and most of the pedestrians on the street are the families of the dignitaries in the capital.
Pei Xiangjun had a clear goal and was going to Fan Jiuniang's shop to pick out sexy clothes, but when he was halfway there, he saw several sons and brothers surrounding a merchant on the side of the street, talking:
“…… Isn't this a clairvoyant mirror, last time Brother Wang asked me to borrow a piece of jade from the former dynasty, but I lost it, and I lost one, except for seeing far, it's not interesting......"
"Childe's words are wrong, this clairvoyant mirror is not simple, it was made by the Northern Liang Armament Supervision, and I spent a lot of money to get it from the Northern Liang Border Army. In previous years, the old boxer Liu Qiansheng, when he was the most powerful, only claimed to be able to detect the wind and grass three or five miles away, this thing is different, even if it is twenty miles away, as long as you go to a high place, you can see the movement clearly......"
"Heh~ There is really an inscription on the Northern Liang Armament Supervisor...... This thing is also very powerful, which is actually comparable to Wu Kui; Liu Qiansheng found the wind and grass on the opposite side through the wall, and he didn't need to look up, where this thing can see, people with good eyesight don't need to be able to see it......"
"Oh? Isn't the son still seeing Liu Qiansheng and other heroes in the rivers and lakes? ”
"I just saw it in Longxi Lane a few days ago, and I learned how to punch with two hands......"
"Yo~ Childe's identity is afraid that it is not ordinary, disrespectful and disrespectful......"
……
Zheyunli, who was walking behind, also heard the conversation, and in a blink of an eye, he saw two large baskets of rare objects, so he wanted to go over and have a look.
Luo Ning knew that Wendeqiao's sons were not ordinary, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the Night Terror, so he grabbed Zhe Yunli, and then came to Sanniang and asked:
"Didn't the Night Terror Hall say that Liu Qiansheng only teaches the sect master and does not pass on the mediocrity? Who is that noble son? ”
Pei Xiangjun glanced slightly, and continued to walk forward:
"The little marquis of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, after the founding of the country, and King Jing's cousin Wang Chihu are iron buddies. Liu Qiansheng has been recruited, no matter how big the shelf is, he has to understand the sophistication of the world, and the face of these princes and sons must be given, and they can't learn it anyway......"
"Oh." Luo Ning suddenly realized.
After Pei Xiangjun walked away, he looked back again:
"The things made by the Beiliang Ordnance Supervisor can't be obtained by ordinary people, and this peddler probably found his way from the Hongshan Gang. A clairvoyant mirror, in Beiliang, is only ten taels of silver, and when it is sold to Wang Gongzi's disciple in Yun'an, it starts at two hundred taels, and this profit is really greedy......"
Luo Ning blinked: "Your family business is so big, can't you just build a workshop by yourself?" ”
"It's not that simple. I arranged for someone to imitate it, but the color of the mirror was too mixed, and it couldn't be polished so smooth, and it was out of shape to see things......"
"You don't know how to grind mirrors?"
"I ...... What kind of mirror are you talking about? ”
“……?”
……
The two gossiped along the road, and before they knew it, they came to the Wang Family Medical Center.
Luo Ning asked Pei Xiangjun to take a few girls shopping first, and she took the controlled drugs issued by the imperial court last time and entered it.
In the lobby of the hospital, Mrs. Wang was leaning on the counter and chatting with a lady:
“…… This man eats soft rather than hard. Think about it, your father-in-law was annoyed by trivial matters all day long in the yamen, and when he returned home at night, you were nagging about sesame trivial things in your ear, and I didn't want to pay attention to you if I changed me......"
"However, he hasn't gone out with me for a long time, and would rather go to the street and drink alone than eat at home......"
"That's because it's boring to stay at home. You will go to Fan's house to buy a few clothes later, and when you are reading a book in the evening, you will say that the weather is hot, wear less and unbutton it, and shake it in front of him, if he secretly looks at you, you will go over and sit in your arms, read the book together, and ask him what the book means, and pretend that he doesn't understand it......"
"Huh~ this ...... It's not the same as the woman in the Qinglou......"
"That's why men like to go to the Qinglou and spend a lot of money. If this woman wants to sit firmly in the seat of the long house, she has to be a noble lady in front of the hall and a lady in the back of the hall...... Huh? ”
Mrs. Wang was talking, and she suddenly found a beautiful woman in a green skirt, who stopped at the door to eavesdrop, and hurriedly greeted:
"Miss Ning'er is back, but I haven't seen her for a long time."
The lady, who was chatting, noticed that someone was coming, so she hurriedly carried a few things and left quickly.
Luo Ning's eyes were a little strange, and he came to the counter, handed back the soul separation needle and other things, and quipped:
"Mrs. Wang knows so much."
"Alas~ The doctor is benevolent, I mainly give the young lady and Mrs. Wendeqiao a doctor, and eighty percent of them are 'sick from the heart'. Instead of going to practice medicine after falling ill, it is better to start from daily life and adjust your mentality first. ”
"There is a lot of truth in that......"
Mrs. Wang put the rest of the medicine under the counter and said:
"Lord Ye is really powerful, Zhang Jinglin has been caught, this morning Imperial Doctor Wang went over to take a look, but he hasn't come back yet, he is probably talking about pharmacology. Although Zhang Jinglin has no medical ethics, this medical skill is estimated to benefit many people in the future. I heard that Lord Night was injured, what is the current situation? ”
"There are some strains, and on the way back, there have been medical women taking care of me, and now there is no big problem."
Mrs. Wang leaned on the counter again and leaned closer:
"What about that?"
??
Luo Ning blinked, still not used to this kind of topic, but the illness is not taboo to the doctor, think about it slowly and answer truthfully:
"Hmm...... Pretty good, no problem. ”
"Can you stand it now?"
"I ...... It's ok......"
Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile, her gaze moved down, and she looked at Luo Ning's waist:
"Did you try the method you told you last time?"
Luo Ning simply shook her head and made a look like a snake and scorpion:
"No...... I can't do that kind of thing. Mrs. Wang, is there any other way, just normal......"
"What is normal is written in a book, and it will be taught when I get married, and when I come to my wife, it is because it is too normal and boring that I come to ask something abnormal."
"Uh......"
"I can't do it...... Come to think of it, huh...... That's right. ”
Mrs. Wang shook her fan slightly, thought for a while, and came to the front again:
"You will go to Fan Jiuniang's daughter later and ask her to fetch you two pieces of boudoir jewelry. Those are all made by her, and the price is a bit high, but the workmanship style is not picky, and it does not hurt the skin......"
Luo Ning was a little dazed: "The Fan family still sells jewelry?" ”
"Yes. It's not on the head, though. ”
"Huh?"
"Alas, you'll know when you ask, I haven't used ......"
“……”
Luo Ning felt that the so-called 'jewelry' should be a boudoir torture tool, and if she really bought it, she would suffer by herself.
However, thinking of Sanniang's unforgiving matter last night, Luo Ning didn't say much after thinking about it, and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Wang, he went to the next stop......
——
Before you know it, it's evening.
In the private room of a large restaurant on Wutong Street, there are bursts of soft music, and across the street is the three-yuan building that was once smashed by the night terror, and now the gambling house has been closed, and the owner is being renovated.
The private room has an excellent environment, with a table in the middle, and a tea couch chess table around it, on which there are all kinds of delicacies from Tiannan and Haibei, including the restaurant's signature dish vinegar and fish, and next to it, there is also a special product of Tanshazhou's 'Fierce Girl' and a few bottles of fruit wine.
Night Terror Hall sat in the banquet, from shopping in the morning to evening, the dignified Wu Kui almost broke his leg, and he still has a little doubt about life.
And the Queen Mother, who looks delicate and soft, is in excellent spirits, and she has not been tired all day, sitting on the main seat, holding a small wine glass and playing with Xuanji Zhenren.
Xuanji Zhenren didn't look like a scholarly lady at the wine table, her posture was lazy and half-leaning, her cheeks were flushed, and she could feel the demonic aura just by looking at her eyes.
As a man, it stands to reason that he should drink spirits with Xuanji Zhenren, but all beings are equal in front of the 'Fierce Girl', and he goes down with half a catty of wine, maybe he will do something rebellious to the Queen Mother, maybe there will be a double shot, for the sake of safety, he still accompanies the Queen Mother to drink fruit wine.
The Queen Mother was very happy to visit today, she was half drunk and still had no intention of returning to the palace, after a glass of wine, she turned her head again, and looked at the handsome boy who accompanied the wine with drunken eyes:
"Night Terror, why don't you speak?"
The private room is brightly lit, and the Queen Mother's eyes are very big, and her clear eyes reflect the candle flame, which looks bright, with a soft and light drunkenness, and the lethality is quite amazing.
The night terror hall was not good at staring, so he picked up the white porcelain wine jug and helped the Queen Mother pour wine:
"I'm a Jianghu person, I don't know much about literati, and all I can say is to fight and kill......"
Xuanji Zhenren shook the wine glass, and interjected with a smile:
"There are two daughters-in-law with a beautiful appearance, and how many are still in your heart, you can't install the elm pimple of the moon here?"
The Queen Mother held her side face with her hands and gently bowed her head:
"yes, if you can't talk, how can you coax the girl home? At the wine table, you don't have to care about identity etiquette, just speak freely. ”
"You can tell two meat jokes to relieve the Queen Mother's boredom, she likes to hear this the most."
"Huh~ What are you talking about......"
The Queen Mother swept Xuanji Zhenren with her sleeve, and when she saw that she couldn't find a suitable topic in the Night Terror Hall, she pondered a little and took the initiative to speak:
"Night Terror, do you know why her name is Shuishui?"
Night Terror's eyes moved slightly, and he almost answered a sentence that would be dismantled, but fortunately, he reacted in time and didn't put "Because there is a lot of water?" "Say it, just curiously ask:
"Why?"
The Queen Mother explained seriously:
Because her hometown is near the Jinchuan River, the river is very fast, and there are glaciers upstream. When she was still in swaddling clothes, her family crossed the river by boat and accidentally dropped her into the river, and many people searched for a while but did not find her, thinking that she would freeze to death if she did not drown.
In the end, it turned out that she had floated to the shore and nothing had happened. So it was rumored over there that she was the reincarnation of the river god of water, and named her Binghe, nicknamed Narcissus, and sent her to the Yuxu Mountain Cultivator......"
"I see...... So it's called water? ”
The Queen Mother took a sip of her wine glass and continued:
"In the past, the Taoist aunt of Yuxu Mountain called her 'Narcissus', but later I found out that she didn't do anything at all, she drank and slept all day long and took wild baths, she didn't look like a fairy at all, so she became a water, she was a ...... Well...... From the body of an immortal, he has cultivated into a mortal ......"
"Hehe~" Night Terror Hall was indeed laughed at by this.
Xuanji Zhenren's eyes were calm, and he said casually:
"This is called entering the WTO, the way to return to the basics, what do you know?"
……
The three of them were talking and laughing, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the moon was already on the branches outside the window unconsciously.
At the end of the drink, Xuanji Zhenren lay directly on the table like last time.
Although the Queen Mother drank fruit wine, the wine was still strong, and slowly drifted a little, forgetting when and where she was, and said in a daze:
"Ruby...... Send Hongu to rest. ”
Night Terror Hall got up and said: "This is Wutong Street, I'll send the Queen Mother back to the palace." ”
"Oh......"
After the Queen Mother glanced left and right a few times, she stood up, staggered to the chess couch, sat down directly, raised her hands and waited for the palace maid to untie her clothes.
When he found that there was no one to serve, he went to untie his skirt himself.
?!
Night Terror's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it;
"Queen Mother, this is a restaurant, do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"
The Queen Mother blinked, her already blushing face turned red again, and then she lay down on the couch very obediently.
Night Terror shook his head secretly, returned to the table, and gently shook Xuanji Zhenren's shoulder:
"Fairy Lu?"
"Huh?"
Xuanji Zhenren turned up, looked left and right, and then got up and walked to the tea couch, lying down with the Queen Mother, and then there was no movement.
Thump~
“……”
Night Terror Hall was directly speechless, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, thinking that it was useless to go home tonight to enjoy Ning'er's white steamed buns.
He definitely didn't dare to hug these two back, so he could only call the manager of the restaurant and inform King Jing's mansion.
Although Xuanji Zhenren is drunk, his perception is not bad, and the Night Terror Hall dares to look around, and it is estimated that he will immediately open his eyes and raise his head to grasp the situation, so the Night Terror Hall just sits behind the sea of tea and makes tea by himself.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the Wutong Street, where the sheng was endless, and the whispers of the princes and nobles along the street:
"Why is King Jing here?"
"Hurry up and go to Longyin Tower to inform Brother Wang, I was caught by King Jing and drank flower wine, and I had to be grounded for half a month......"
……
Seeing this, the night terror hall got up and came to the window, and it could be seen that on the busy street, there were luxury chariots driven by horses, and the black yayu was about to open the way in front, and the doors and windows of the carriage were closed, and only a familiar silhouette could be seen from the window.
Gollum~~
The carriage soon came to the bottom of the restaurant.
The princes of Wutong Street gathered the sons of the prime ministers, and several princes may have fun in the nearby pavilions.
Dongfang Liren didn't want to show his face, so the black government quickly closed the street directly, and emptied the idle people around the restaurant before the carriage was opened.
Dongfang Liren today in order to give the night terror hall a reward, it can be said that the skin of the mouth is almost worn out, my sister ran away halfway through the meeting, leaving her alone to compete with the ministers in the Taiji Palace, and after the court dispersed, she also called the old Shangshu of the Ministry of officials to mess up for a long time.
Finally finalized the matter, Dongfang Liren still wanted to find a dignified adult to invite credit, but when he left the palace, he heard that the night terror hall went shopping to investigate the case, but he didn't even know to wait for her for a while!
Dongfang Liren waited dryly in Mingyulou for a whole day, and only saw the night terror hall at night, and his heart was obviously not very happy, so he took the maid to put on a look of not being angry and arrogant, and walked quickly to the second floor of the restaurant.
"Your Highness."
"Humph......"
Dongfang Liren came to the door, took a look at the house first, and saw the Queen Mother and Shizun sleeping together, drunk and unconscious, frowning:
"How did you put them like this?"
Do I pour them?
Night Terror's eyes were very helpless, and he spread his hands slightly:
"What kind of character does Fairy Lu have, His Highness doesn't know? I can stand now, because I didn't drink it because I was so strong, otherwise I would have been the first to fall. ”
Dongfang Liren thought about it, and after a little glance, he asked:
"You didn't do anything, did you?"
?
Night Terror stood up a few straighter, looking at the big stupid man who was a little suspicious:
"What can I do?"
Judging from the experience learned from "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman", Dongfang Liren is drunk and something is bound to happen.
However, she also knew Shizun's ability, as long as she didn't take the initiative to give her a chance, Night Terror Hall wouldn't take any advantage, so she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and said:
"Send the Queen Mother and Shizun back to Mingyulou to rest."
"Yes."
The maid who followed behind hurriedly entered the house and helped the two wine Mengzi beauties down......
