Li Jie took Wang Yuhuan with him with his bruised face, and Ji Qing took the things to the street. He had a solemn face, and the invisible hands on his sleeves were clenched into fists. His calm appearance concealed the panic in his heart.
It was rare that Wang Yurong also came out. The battle in front of her made her feel like sending her man to the battlefield. Thinking of this, she curled her lips and met Li Jie's eyes. Li Jie turned around like a child having a tantrum.
Turn your face away.
Breakfast was porridge cooked by Xiaolian, with sweet potatoes in it and pickles mixed in. Although it was just white porridge, it was really delicious.
"I'll leave it to Miss Wang to take care of me." Wei Melin wiped the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief.
Wang Yuhuan didn't like Wei Meilin's appearance, so she couldn't keep a straight face in front of him. She just smiled lightly and went to sell letters on the street. She didn't sleep well last night, and now she still has dark circles under her eyes.
After sending the person away, Wang Yurong returned to the back of the house and took Xiaolian to secretly listen to the goings on in the courtyard. Not long after, Wei Meilin in the east chamber gently took Su Mo out of the house and quietly led her out of the house.
The upper courtyard gate is gone.
"Girl, who are they?" Xiaolian finally dared to speak.
Wang Yurong pulled Xiaolian and said, "Let's go out and join in the fun."
When the prince who was demoted to a commoner went out to sell calligraphy, the scene must have been lively. I wonder if Li Jie could bear the humiliation and calm down to write. There were bound to be some sarcastic remarks.
When Xiaolian hesitated, she had already been pulled out, and she stumbled all the way to the street with Wang Yurong. It was an early morning in the middle of winter, and the hot breath all over her body disappeared as soon as she came out of the house.
There were not many people on the street, and Wang Yurong mostly walked in alleys. He looked like a thief all the way. He didn't see the prince, but he found Aunt Wei and his master and servant.
Xiaolian's eyes widened. She could only see Aunt Wei talking to a middle-aged man from a distance. She couldn't hear what they said, but she could tell that they were very happy.
"Girl, are we still following?" Xiaolian asked in a low voice when she saw Aunt Wei's master and servant following the man.
Wang Yurong was also surprised by the man Wei Meilin was with. He couldn't resist his curiosity and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
Afraid of being discovered and unable to follow too closely, Wang Yurong was sweating all over her clothes after following the place. This was a small pavilion, and people came and went from time to time. Standing at the door, you could faintly hear the laughter inside.
Wang Yurong didn't understand, "Do you know this place?"
Xiaolian looked embarrassed, but she still told the truth, "I have only heard from others that this Flower Viewing Pavilion is a place where rich men and women come. Most of them are ladies from the palace who can't stand the loneliness."
, and men are mostly rich and well-established people, so here they can choose the person they like, but as soon as they leave the flower viewing pavilion, they will be like strangers when they meet outside."
After saying that, Xiao Lian had a look of contempt on her face, "Most of the women who don't follow the rules of women go there. The men who go there are not good ones even if they have money and status, otherwise they wouldn't hook up with married women."
Wang Yurong was shocked. This was the first time he heard of such a place. In ancient feudal society, this was a shocking place.
"I can't believe that Aunt Wei, who usually looks so infatuated, would come to a place like this." Xiao Lian curled her lips.
"Not necessarily." Maybe it's to make money.
Curiosity was satisfied, and Wang Yurong lost interest, "Let's go and take a look on the street."
Xiaolian didn't want to stay in such a place any longer, so the master and servant went all the way back. At this time, there were more people on the street. Seeing that the new year was approaching, most people came to buy new year's goods.
Xiaolian had the best eyes and pointed to the entrance of the alley opposite, "Miss, where is I?"
Wang Yurong nodded and glanced around. She saw Li Jie, and Ji Qing was also there. Even if she didn't see Wang Yuhuan, she already knew that Wang Yuhuan would not come out to embarrass himself, and he would definitely make excuses. He just came out and disappeared.
, What a pity that Li Jie is so devoted to her.
"The elder girl is at the teahouse." Xiaolian pointed to the teahouse opposite.
Wang Yurong looked up and saw that she was really sitting there. She could see the scene on the street from the window. She didn't know if the little money Li Jie earned was enough for her to drink tea.
Having a plan in mind, Wang Yurong had a bad idea. She pulled up her clothes and walked out of the alley, heading straight for Li Jie.
It was very cold outside. After writing for a while, Li Jie had to put down his pen to warm his hands, and then picked up the pen again. When Wang Yurong arrived in front of him, Li Jie realized that someone was coming.
"Why are you here?" Li Jie was very happy.
Wang Yurong raised her lips and smiled, "I have nothing to do at home. Come and see me. Why don't you see your sister?"
It was rare for Wang Yurong to speak kindly, so Li Jie didn't think much about it, "She has a stomachache, so I asked her to rest."
Wang Yurong raised her eyebrows, "I know how to care for others. I saw my sister drinking tea in a teahouse. The tea in this teahouse is not cheap, right?"
The smile on Li Jie's face was a meal.
Wang Yurong sighed as if nothing had happened, "If you write here for one day, it's enough for a pot of tea, right? You must keep this matter a secret. I don't care, but I'm afraid there will be a noise at Aunt Wei's place.
Actually, it’s okay if you don’t want to make a fuss. I just need to send everyone away. Only me and my sister are left in this yard. In this way, I can spend whatever money I earn and no one will be angry.”
As soon as Wang Yurong finished his last words, Li Jie's face turned as black as coal.
Wang Yurong didn't care about him, "I haven't had tea for a long time, so I went upstairs to accompany my sister. This meal is not as expensive as the price of tea. It's better to eat out for lunch. I don't want to miss the money."
With a twist of her waist, Wang Yurong asked Xiaolian to go to the teahouse opposite.
Li Jie bit her lip tightly, lowered her head, and stopped the pen in her hand.
Ji Qing had not dared to speak just now. Seeing that he had a bad look on his face and that everyone was looking at the excitement, he was secretly worried, "Sir, my wife is actually jealous too, right? Otherwise, she would not care about how I spend my money."
Where is Miss Wang?"
Ji Qing's words made Li Jie's eyes light up, "Really?"
"Really, didn't you say everything? This woman's anger means she cares."
Li Jie smiled, and the pen in his hand picked up speed, "How much more needs to be written? Xiangwu will eat outside, and when he has time, Sumo will go back and call Wei Shi."
"Oh, I know this." Ji Qing responded with a happy face.
In the teahouse, Wang Yuhuan's face didn't look good as soon as Wang Yurong came up.
Wang Yurong pulled up the chair and sat down, "This Tieguanyin is pretty good. My sister is so rich and precious that she will never fail to serve me."
As if she had been told, Xiaolian came up and poured tea for Wang Yurong. Wang Yurong took a sip and turned to Xiaolian and said, "Sit down and have a taste. In our family's situation now, there is no distinction between master and servant.
There aren’t that many rules.”
"Look at what the girl said, you reward me with tea. That's your gift." Xiao Lian's mouth was sweet and she had already sat down.
Wang Yuhuan watched with cold eyes. After Xiaolian sat down, he stood up and glanced at Xiaolian coldly. "Since my sister is here, let's drink slowly here. I paid for the tea first."
He turned around and walked away proudly with Qiu Ju.
Wang Yurong sneered and said to Xiaolian, "Did you see that a poor person grew up rich, and now he still looks like a noble person?"
How could Xiao Lian dare to reply, especially as soon as the girl finished speaking, she could clearly feel the cold look from the older girl at the top of the stairs. What she didn't know was that the older girl was the most attentive, and she would definitely do it to anyone she wanted to.
arrive.
Sitting upstairs, Wang Yurong saw Wang Yuhuan coming to the booth where he was writing. He seemed to be acting coquettishly with Li Jie, and he could see the smile on Li Jie's face from a distance.
That kind of smile made Wang Yurong feel a little dazzling, and she instinctively looked away. Suddenly she felt that what she had just done was like a fool. What about Wang Yuhuan and Li Jie had nothing to do with her. She was really unnecessary.
"Girl," Xiao Lian saw that her master was unhappy, and persuaded her with sincerity, "Girl, don't think too much. A girl just staying with me like this is not as good as a girl. I heard that I have been living in the east room by myself."
This was what Ji Qing said vaguely that day. She guessed that Ji Qing meant to let her reveal it to the girl.
Wang Yurong smiled and said, "You know this, aren't you ignoring Ji Qing?"
"I don't care about him. He told me. I guess it was the prince who asked him to tell me. He has a girl in his heart."
Wang Yurong motioned for her to keep her voice down. Fortunately, there were not many people on the second floor. They were sitting by the window, and no one was looking towards them.
Xiaolian stuck out her tongue, raised her eyes and looked downstairs, "Aunt Wei is here."
But it wasn't Wei Meilin who came with the girl. It was Wei Meilin who brought Su Mo out in the morning, but when they got to the street, Su Mo was sent to Li Jie.
Wang Yuhuan didn't know what he was doing, and was not with Li Jie. As soon as Wei Meilin came, he personally took the ink from Ji Qing's hand and began to grind it.
If Wang Yurong hadn't seen this scene on the street, it would have become a beautiful painting. Unfortunately, it was not poetic, but a way to make money by writing.
"My sister also envies Webster, right?" Wang Yuhuan's voice sounded from behind.
Wang Yurong was stunned at first, but he soon thought about it. It was naturally impossible for Wang Yuhuan to stay in the street and be embarrassed, other than here or go back to that small courtyard.
Wang Yurong turned back and looked at her with a smile, "I am also curious and want to ask my sister. My sister said that if someone told the emperor about my sister accompanying my grandfather to write on the street to make money, what would the emperor think?"
Looking at Wang Yuhuan's cold face, Wang Yurong let out a long sigh, "I guess the emperor will think that my sister's previous passion must be fake. He is a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks. He will definitely regret pampering her like that."
right?"
"You..." Wang Yuhuan was so embarrassed that he was about to get angry.
"Shh,,, is it possible that what I said is wrong? What my sister really likes is the emperor and not the prince?" Wang Yurong looked at her funny, just waiting for her to deny it. There is something waiting for her below.
