Chapter 49: The Hairpin Flower Society
At night, the hairpin festival on Suzaku Street was more lively than in previous years, but this kind of excitement could not be transmitted to the secluded Jinghe Hall.
When the bangzi rings, the corridor of Jinghetang is lit up one after another to illuminate the courtyard.
The moon stars are scarce, and Mama Xuan ordered the female envoy to carry the tables and chairs and place them on the porch, and waited for the girls to accompany Mrs. Shen to come out to admire the moon after finishing the pastries.
In the main room, Mrs. Shen picked up the silk cloth on the table and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Today, the second brother of the Wang family sent a post, and I want to invite you to the hairpin flower party, so don't be busy in front of me, pack up and go to the appointment." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Lanshu said, "It's the old lady, I'll go and change my clothes." ”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
If it were as usual, Jiang Lanshu would definitely not nod so quickly, she would have to push and pull a few times before she was willing to respond, and this time the answer was so refreshing that Old Lady Shen couldn't help but be stunned.
The moonlight was dim, and Qingju was carrying a bright lamp in front of the road, who knew that as soon as the two of them came out of the courtyard gate of Jinghe Hall, they ran into Shen Paner and her little envoy.
Shen Pan'er's face was pale, and before Jiang Lanshu could see the salute, she passed her and went towards Jinghe Hall.
Qingju looked back at the master and servant who disappeared into the night, and said: "The third girl is too illiterate, Mrs. Zhao is too indulgent to her, and now she is becoming more and more arrogant and arrogant, girl, don't be like her." ”
"What do I have to know from her," Jiang Lanshu sighed, "The little girl's temperament can't be elegant, it's only because I have a bad background, if I can be a serious lady of the Rong family, I don't need to look at the face of this big family." ”
"What is the girl sighing, Brother Rong likes you, how can the girl's mother say that she used to be a big family with hairpins for generations, and there is also Mrs. Shen behind you, the position of the eldest lady of the Rong family will be yours sooner or later."
Jiang Lanshu hooked the corners of her mouth: "Yes, as long as Brother Rong likes me, it is more important than anything else." ”
After that, she smiled shyly again: "Let's go, don't let Brother Rong wait." ”
"Yes." Qingju continued to walk forward with the lantern.
Jinghetang, Mrs. Shen finished eating pastries and went out of the house to bask in the moonlight, and just sat down to close her eyes and recuperate, Shen Paner came.
"Grandmother, you're really in a good mood to admire the moon today!" Shen Pan'er stepped forward with a smile.
Old Mrs. Shen lifted her eyelids and stared at the villain below, and said, "You are also in good spirits today, and it is rare to come to Jinghe Hall at night." Say, what's the matter? ”
Shen Pan'er naughtily leaned into Mrs. Shen's lap and rubbed coquettishly and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter wants to go to the hairpin flower party, but there is no one to accompany your granddaughter, so my granddaughter wants to borrow Sister Lingwu from you." ”
Old Lady Shen smiled, tapped Shen Pan'er's nose, and said, "Ghostly, go, just take your sister Lingwu to visit the capital, she hasn't been in the capital a few times since she came to the capital for half a year, but you have to come back before the curfew, don't be greedy." ”
"Don't worry, grandmother, before the curfew, my granddaughter will send Sister Lingwu back to you!" Shen Pan'er laughed and pulled Ye Lingwu to run outside the courtyard, without stopping all the way, Ye Lingwu's pace was small and almost couldn't keep up.
Outside the mansion, Jiang Lanshu's carriage had just left.
And Shen Pan'er was also prepared, and she asked Yingxia to call a carriage to stop on the side of the street half an hour ago.
Hairpin will also be known as the little beggar, the pedestrians on the street are more young talents and fair ladies, when the customs of the people are not very strict, men and women holding hands to go shopping is also a common thing.
On the carriage, Shen Pan'er didn't have to open the curtain after a while to look at Jiang Lanshu's carriage in front of her, and the cushion was like a needle piercing, looking ugly and impatient.
Ye Lingwu was puzzled: "Third girl, what are you looking at?" Ever since you got in the carriage, it's up to you that something is wrong. ”
Shen Pan'er put down the curtain and said angrily: "Who else can I see, of course I am looking at Jiang Lanshu, she must be going to have a private meeting with Rong Yu tonight, I must catch them and ask them face to face." ”
“…… What to ask? ”
Shen Pan'er paused and replied, "Don't worry about it, anyway, I want to leave Rong Yu speechless!" ”
Ye Lingwu said helplessly: "But Sister Lan Shu came out tonight to make an appointment with the second brother of the Wang family." Not to mention this, Sister Lan Shu and Rong Gongzi are unmarried and unmarried, what reason do the three girls have to question them for a private meeting?
Shen Pan'er pursed her lips and lost her momentum: "That...... Doesn't Jiang Lanshu have the second brother of the Wang family, she can be regarded as stepping on two boats! ”
Ye Lingwu choked and reminded in a low voice: "The Wang family hasn't been hired yet." ”
Shen Pan'er turned a deaf ear and said to herself: "I don't believe that Jiang Lanshu went to the appointment of the second brother of the Wang family, and the second brother of the Wang family showed favor at the banquet that day, Jiang Lanshu ignored it, and just looked at the fool of Rong Yu." ”
Ye Lingwu was silent.
She is not blind, and naturally she has seen it.
It's just that the Wang family hasn't come to propose marriage yet, if Jiang Lanshu and Rong Yu are in love, and the Rong family is also willing to come to the door to propose, it seems reasonable.
There are many colorful flowers hanging on the Suzaku long street, Ye Lingwu got off the carriage, a breeze blew, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers came to the nose.
Before she had time to appreciate it, Shen Pan'er lifted her skirt and pulled Ye Lingwu to sneakily catch up with Jiang Lanshu in front of her, and followed far behind unhurriedly.
Walking and walking, the two followed to a restaurant.
The restaurant is like a city, and the golden plaque is inlaid with five big characters that are extremely flamboyant - the first floor of the capital.
Shen Pan'er didn't stop at her feet, and she was about to step into the door, but before she could go in, four big men walked out carrying a man in plain clothes and threw them directly out of the door.
was so frightened that Shen Pan'er and Ye Lingwu's shoulders shook together.
A middle-aged man walked behind several strong men, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said viciously: "You dare to come to drink if you have no money, who has such a big face for you!" ”
After yelling, he saw two well-dressed little girls standing next to him, their eyes rolled around, and they held hypocritical smiles: "The two girls are here to drink?" ”
Rao is bold, and Shen Pan'er is also weak-hearted at the moment.
She had heard about this restaurant from Shen Chongwen a long time ago, because the owner of the restaurant had a son named Pei Huai, who was Shen Ci and Rong Yu's "fox friend and dog friend".
Every time Shen Ci and him were caught together, Shen Chongwen would lose his temper with hatred.
She also heard that although Pei Huai is young, he is very proficient in the twists and turns of business, and there are many sturdy dignitaries in the capital, and he can be regarded as a rising star among the businessmen in the capital.
But I heard that Shen Paner has never met Pei Huai, but if he can become a "fox friend and dog friend" with Shen Ci, it is estimated that the character of that person is ...... Ironclad is a bit of a problem!
This restaurant was full of the smell of drunken gold, Ye Lingwu wanted to "escape" at the moment, and just as he was about to make a move, he was grabbed by Shen Paner's arm, and she said to the middle-aged man: "Yes, we are here to drink." ”
"Third girl," Ye Lingwu said in a suppressed voice, "This place is not suitable for us, let's leave quickly, if the second uncle and aunt know that we are coming to this kind of place, we will have to be scolded." ”
Shen Pan'er was already stubble: "What are you afraid of, I'll take care of the accident, go!" Let's go in and have a look. ”
Ye Lingwu shrugged his head and shook his head: "I'm not going." ”
"Go!"
"No, no."
Shen Pan'er pursed her lips: "I'm still not a good sister, I'm okay with you on weekdays, I think about you first in all good things, what's wrong with you accompanying me?" ”
"......" Not necessarily.
