Chapter 37: A Chance Encounter with a Storyteller
Mrs. Shao was overjoyed, bowed in a daze, and followed Concubine Xiao away.
Yuan Mi also looked bored and led his subordinates away.
Seeing a farce, Mrs. Lian sighed lightly, glanced at Lian Yan beside her, and felt a little more comfortable, "This princess...... It's exactly like the rumors! β
"It's a good thing I didn't choose." Mrs. Lian raised her hand and patted Lian Yan's shoulder, "Son, you are still smart and have a long-term view." β
Lian Yan stuffed meat into his mouth, and when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he said suspiciously, "Mother, are you crazy?" β
Mrs. Lian: ......
Let's reopen a trumpet.
"Mother, are we still here?" Xie Li saw that Fang Xu had no intention of leaving, and asked.
"Of course, you have to finish eating before leaving!" Fang Xu pinched the chopsticks and sandwiched the steamed fish with chopsticks for Xie Li, "Being buried for so long, you have to get back to your roots, right?" β
Xie Li looked at the fact that his mother did not use chopsticks when she served him vegetables, pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a low voice, "Mother said yes." β
Fang Xu ate the dishes slowly, and tasted a mouthful of peach blossom stuffing, with a satisfied face, "Son, it's a shame that you carried it to the last level, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat this palace banquet." β
Xie Li chewed the meat in his mouth, and when he heard the sound of his son, the light smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little.
In the past, this title never belonged to himself, only to Xie Changqing.
"By the way," Fang Xu swallowed the food in his mouth, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "Who is Miss Song?" Use her as a shield...... Is it possible? β
"Mother rest assured, my son sent Changfan to investigate, this Song girl and the ninth princess are tired of seeing each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are old enemies." Xie Li raised his hand and served Fang Xu a bowl of ginseng soup, his voice as warm as jade.
"Miss Song is the Tiger Girl, the most unaccustomed to the Nine Princesses in Beijing, and every time the two meet, they have to fight to the death." Xie Li pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice, "The son of Fang Cai said that he likes Miss Song, and the ninth princess is afraid that she is very proud." β
"After all, it's really unlucky for my son to be pleasing to his son like this."
Fang Xu took the ginseng soup naturally, opened his mouth, and couldn't find a way to comfort him, so he couldn't help but smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, apply the antidote tomorrow, and it will be fine in a few days." β
Xie Li hummed softly and buried his head in eating the already cold lunch.
"Hey, Xie Li!"
Lian Yan carried a wooden chair and came over cheaply, "I inquired with my mother, your face should be rubella, I have medicine at home, I will send someone to send it to you after leaving the palace!" β
Fang Xu heard the voice and leaned out in advance.
When Lian Yan saw Fang Xu, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "Auntie, when we meet for the first time, my name is Lian Yan." β
It's a self-cooked.
Fang Xu nodded politely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's the kid from the Lian family, come to our family Xie Li?" β
"Yes, aunt." Lian Yan scratched the back of his head and smiled brightly, "I beat Xie Li, come to see him, condolences and condolences." β
Fang Xu shook his head and smiled, patted Xie Li's shoulder, and said softly, "People are looking for you to play, you don't have to have a cold face." β
Xie Li didn't have a bad impression of this stupid hat second ancestor, and was polite and detached, "I'm fine, you don't have to go to your heart." β
"What's that?" Lian Yan shook his head with a straight face, "I hurt you, so naturally I have to bear your medical expenses." β
Fang Xu looked at the two of them and felt interesting.
"Suzi, this is a ...... family"
Taking advantage of the hot chat between the two, Fang Xu leaned aside, lowered his voice, and didn't say the second half of the sentence, Su Zi already understood what Madame meant.
"Madam, the Lian family is the first family in Beijing, and there are many high-ranking officials above it, and the family background is prominent." Su Zi also lowered his voice and explained his doubts to his wife.
"Although the Lian family is full of glory, there are few heirs, and in the generation of Lian Gongzi, there is only one son-in-law." Su Zi leaned closer to Fang Xu and said softly, "Lian Gongzi is also called the little overlord in Beijing, the head of the gentleman's disciples, every day he either fights, or on the way to fight. β
Su Zi is worthy of being a PHS in Beijing, so there is nothing she doesn't know.
Fang Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Madame...... The second son intersected with him...... No problem? Bai Ji frowned and whispered.
Fang Xu took a sip of the brew and said softly, "It's just a teenager, how can it be so outrageous." β
Look at Lian Yan's appearance, where does he look like a street gangster?
After the palace banquet, the mother and son got into the carriage, and the sky gradually darkened.
When he arrived in the East Market, Fang Xu stopped the coachman, "Wait, stop ahead, I'll go buy something." β
"What does Mother want to buy?" Xie Li looked puzzled and said softly, "My son is with you." β
"Buy some meat and vegetables, Mr. won't come today, you and Wanzhou will rest, let's eat the pot at night!" Fang Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and got out of the carriage with his skirt.
Xie Li's hated hand was stunned, and his heart was warm, "This kind of trivial matter, my mother commanded, and I have my own subordinates to do it, so why do you do it yourself?" β
"If you pick it yourself, you will always have fun eating it." Fang Xu lifted his feet and got into the carriage, and after Xie Li got out of the carriage, the two walked side by side towards the market entrance.
In the afternoon, the sky is full of fire and clouds, and the eastern market is still bustling, and the shouting on the roadside is endless.
"Take a look at the bamboo shoots picked in the morningβ"
"Freshly slaughtered pork, very fresh!"
"A bundle of shallots!"
Fang Xu strolled down the street, looking at the dishes on the stall, secretly slandering.
There are really few good foods in this place.
I only bought a few things piecemeal, and then turned around and went to the shop that sold the four treasures of the study, and bought a few things for Xie Li and Xie Wanzhou.
Changfan carried a large bag and a small bag, and the two maids also carried a cloth bag each.
"Alright, that's all there is to it, let's go, go home."
Seeing that his wife was relieved, the four people, including Xie Li, took a long breath.
It's finally over.
"In other words, the housewife of Yongcheng Houfu does not distinguish between red, and breaks up a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, causing her daughter to leave home for love, which is really miserable!"
A voice came from not far away, causing several people to stop.
Fang Xu looked over and saw an old man wearing a long robe, holding a folding fan, his expression was calm, and his spit was flying, and there were many people standing around, all listening to him.
The old man knocked the folding fan on the table and raised his voice, "Miss Xie's life is hard, and what she has experienced is better than that of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl and Shan Boyingtai!" β
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, feeling amused in his heart, and raised his hand to stop Xie Li from stepping forward.
"Listen again, don't worry." Fang Xu smiled and glanced at Xie Li as if he was comforting.
Xie Li's face was hidden behind the hood, and although he couldn't see his expression clearly, Fang Xu could feel his anger.
Mother and son stood on the periphery of the crowd, listening to the storyteller's best arrangement.
"This old gentleman, what he said is a bit excessive, and if he makes black-hearted money, isn't he afraid of retribution in the future?"
