The next morning, Sister Mei went out first to buy groceries to see if President Shi had left.
Sister Mei went to the street corner to buy a piece of tofu and rushed back.
Chairman Shi’s car is still parked next to the framing shop!
Li Jinzhu regrets a little.
The house the lobby sister-in-law mentioned was suitable anywhere, but she just thought it was too good and too expensive, so she hesitated to decide. If she had decided earlier and moved there earlier, even one day earlier, she wouldn't be like now.
One car can't get through the jam.
"I walked over with Xuedong and left the car at home." Li Jinzhu sighed.
"No, I have to go to see you today. You can ask Ah Wu to tell the tea house later and ask Wan Qing to pick me up." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"This is a way." Li Yuzhu looked at Li Jinzhu and smiled.
The president would definitely not dare to step forward to the palace's car.
Li Jinzhu looked at Li Xiaonan for a moment, then sighed quietly.
She knew less and less about A'nan. A'nan didn't mention a word. At first, she asked if A'nan could talk about it. Now, when she asked, A'nan didn't say anything anymore. She didn't even worry about it.
I don’t know where to start worrying.
Li Jinzhu and Li Xuedong had a casual breakfast and then went out to buy a house. Sister Mei bolted the courtyard door and packed things with Li Yuzhu at home. Li Xiaonan sat in the courtyard, holding a book and reading very attentively.
In just an hour, Wan Qing knocked on the courtyard door.
At the entrance of the alley, Li Xiaonan glanced at President Shi, who was standing next to the framing shop with hunched shoulders and neck, and got in the car.
President Shi is fine now, but she doesn't know if he will be fine tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This is not her business.
"You know! Yesterday's banquet was the Hongmen Banquet!"
Wan Qing followed Li Xiaonan and got into the car. She closed the car door and shouted in a low voice.
"As soon as we got out of the second door, we started arresting people! It was Master Yang Wu who led the arrests. Master Yang Wu was so murderous that it was scary to look at him!
"I didn't have any errands that day, and they all went to see the prince. I thought I had seen him three times, so I didn't go. Later, the little girl who was running errands in our courtyard rushed in and said that someone was arrested outside the second door. I
I was shocked, I thought it was someone from outside who came to our house to arrest someone."
When Li Xiaonan heard this sentence, she turned sideways to Wan Qing.
The prince is in their house, and Pingjiang City is full of people. Anyone dares to arrest people in their house?
"I'm not in a hurry. I panic when I'm in a hurry." Facing Li Xiaonan's eye roll, Wan Qing explained.
"By the time I ran to the second gate, I had almost caught them. Mr. Yang Wu was holding a riding whip in one hand and a list in the other. That's it."
Wan Qing poked Li Xiaonan's shoulder with her finger, causing Li Xiaonan to lean back.
"They were facing each other one by one with orders! Inside the second gate of the Hajj Gate, half were men and half were women. The women over there were crying and shouting... Oh, it's quite miserable."
Wan Qing let out a long sigh.
"How many people have been arrested?" Li Xiaonan asked.
"Quite a few, ten or twenty? Anyway, it's quite a lot." Wan Qing shrank her shoulders, "It's really scary! Later, the ladies in charge came and lectured people with fierce faces. They were not allowed to watch the excitement, so I hurried back.
I didn’t dare to go out again when I got back. I originally wanted to wait for Shi Gun to come back and ask Shi Gun.”
Wan Qing stretched her head forward and came close to Li Xiaonan's ear.
"Shi Gun didn't go back yesterday! That means the prince didn't go back either, right?"
Wan Qing sat back and showed a meaningful smile.
"Then did you bring snacks?" Li Xiaonan asked.
"Bring it!" Wan Qing sighed, she actually forgot about the tea and snacks.
"Look!" Wan Qing opened the suitcase and laid out the piles of dessert plates, "This is the rule of hospitality in our house!"
Shi Gun was not there, so Li Xiaonan didn't dare to mention to Wan Qing about visiting the bullock cart. When she arrived at the villa, she went straight to the library.
During extraordinary times, it is safer to spend time in Bieye Library.
Not long after watching, Wan Qing was invited out by the boy on duty. Not long after, Wan Qing came back, poked Li Xiaonan with an annoyed look on her face, and said in a low voice: "It's our cousin, the Fourth Lady."
, asked if you were busy, and said there was some new tea, please try it.
"You can go or not, no need to force me. If you don't want to go, just say you are very busy."
"Your cousin is definitely not here to treat me to some new tea, is she? What do you think she wants from me?" Li Xiaonan put down her book and asked.
"How did I know! The prince is here with us right now, and I don't dare to go out at all." Wan Qing shook her head.
"How about trying some new tea?" Li Xiaonan thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Our cousin is very nice, let me go and reply." Wan Qing turned around and went out.
Li Xiaonan followed Wan Qing and entered a cozy pavilion not far from the library.
There was only Lady Wei Si in the Nuan Pavilion, sitting next to the tea table, having just washed her hands and prepared to make tea.
Li Xiaonan sat opposite Madam Wei Si and watched her take out the tea leaves, put them on the small smoker, and slowly move them around to roast the tea.
"Miss Li, would you like it to be darker or lighter?" Lady Wei Si asked.
"What's the difference between darker and lighter?" Li Xiaonan asked.
Madam Wei Si laughed, "I'm not a laughing girl, I'm just, I mean, it's hard to say, let's all have a taste."
Li Xiaonan responded with a smile, holding her chin as she watched Madam Wei Si roast the tea, scald the cup and kettle to make the tea.
Madam Wei Si made two pots of tea, one deep and one shallow, poured a cup each and pushed it in front of Li Xiaonan.
The cups were dark-colored kiln-made cups. Li Xiaonan couldn't see any difference between the two cups of tea soup, so she picked it up, smelled it, and took a sip from each.
"How is it?" Lady Wei Si looked at Li Xiaonan and asked with a smile.
"There seems to be a little difference, both taste good." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"A few days ago, Mr. Yang Wu and Mr. Wen went to pay their respects to my mother-in-law. I served the tea. Mr. Yang specifically asked me to bake it darker and add some cypress branches to the charcoal fire." Mrs. Wei Si bowed slightly.
The eyelids are wide and open, showing a vague discomfort.
"Cypress branches taste very good when burned." Li Xiaonan held it in for a moment and said with a smile. It was not easy to say this, and she didn't want to answer it.
"Well, has Miss Li seen Mr. Yang Wu?" Mrs. Wei Si glanced at Li Xiaonan
"No!" Li Xiaonan immediately shook her head.
She somewhat thought about why Mrs. Wei Si came to her for tea. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaonan asked: "Are you attracted?"
"I don't like the smell of cypress branches." After a pause, Lady Wei Si lowered her eyelids and said, "He makes noises when he eats."
"What's the sound? Jizuier? Snoring?" Li Xiaonan was a little curious.
Logically speaking, people like them, who have been living together for generations, shouldn't do this.
"There are just noises, there are noises when biting things, the chopsticks always hit the bowl, and after drinking tea, he has to bang a few times. He didn't do this before!" Mrs. Wei Si was extremely troubled.
"Then maybe he snores while sleeping." Li Xiaonan added.
Lady Wei Si stared at Li Xiaonan.
"Have you ever seen someone who snores while sleeping?"
Lady Wei Si shook her head.
"Then find a snorer and listen to it. It's quite annoying. There are also people with smelly feet. Taking off their shoes can make people vomit. It doesn't matter to people like you, but it's annoying to people like us.
"Why are the tea leaves roasted? How about we try making tea without roasting them?"
Li Xiaonan started to talk.
For the ancients, she should stay away from the matter of blind dates.
"Why don't people like us matter?" Lady Wei Si ignored Li Xiaonan's last few words and asked with a frown.
"Girl, the eldest lady is here." Yin Xing, who was standing at the door of Nuan Pavilion, suddenly reported.
