Chapter 312: Encounter
The appearance of Xiao Mochen made Qian Bowen and Sun Yulan's eyes brighten. It is undeniable that neither of them expected to see such a fairy figure in the remote town of Hexi.
The two of them immediately went up to talk to Xiao Mochen.
After dinner, Lu Lingxi went into Xiao Mochen's study again and continued to write the story book in the middle volume. She divided this story into three volumes: upper, middle and lower volumes.
Xiao Mochen was not here, so she wrote the storybook and sorted it out by herself.
At this time, voices came from the courtyard, and soon people came to the living room.
It was also at this time that Lu Lingxi realized that those who came back with Xiao Mochen were several people from the Qian family in Shengjing.
The two women behind them were Bai Ruoshui and Qian Yiyi who appeared at Huiwei Braised Pork Shop yesterday.
Lu Lingxi packed up her own manuscripts and the manuscripts of Xiao Mochen's storybook, placed them on the bookshelf, then closed the door to the study and walked out.
"In May, serve tea and invite your wife to come over." Xiao Mochen ordered May.
May respectfully should be.
Hearing the word "Madam", Bai Ruoshui's ears felt like thunder exploding. Xiao Mochen is really married!!??
How can he marry a wife? His wife is obviously him!
He is the eldest son of Duke Xiao. How could he marry a vulgar woman from the village? What good is that woman?
Whatever she can do for him, she will only hold him back.
Thinking that those people in Xiao Guogong's palace would never approve of a village girl and a concubine, a cold smile appeared on her lips, which quickly dissipated.
Duke Xiao's step-brother is not easy to get along with.
Seeing Lu Lingxi, Xiao Mochen's coldness instantly faded away, and he was filled with warmth.
He smiled and introduced to the people next to him: "Brother Bowen, Brother Yulan, this is my wife. Lingxi, these two are the young masters of the Qian family and the young master of the Sun family who we just met in the bookstore."
"Mrs. Xiao, I'll be on my fourth day. You can just call me as Brother Mo Chen does."
Qian Bowen smiled brightly, like a sunny boy without any scheming.
"This is Sun Yulan."
Sun Yulan then introduced her lightly. After Lu Lingxi came out, he was stunned for a moment. Mrs. Xiao looked very good-looking.
Sun Yulan was not unfamiliar with Qian Bowen, but this was the first time he had seen Mrs. Xiao's beauty.
Different from Bai Ruoshui's dignified, virtuous and gentle beauty, Mrs. Xiao's is a mature beauty with open and bright eyes and no restraint.
It turns out that Brother Xiao likes this kind of beauties, and Sun Yulan feels a lot more relieved. He has not forgotten that when he first met Xiao Mochen, Bai Ruoshui's eyes stayed on him for a long time.
After Bai Ruoshui saw Lu Lingxi, her eyes lit up and she smiled politely.
She took the initiative to chat with Lu Lingxi.
"Mrs. Xiao, this is not the first time we have met."
Lu Lingxi nodded: "We met at the braised pork shop that day. I really didn't expect that our fate would be here."
"Mrs. Xiao, are you the owner of the braised pork shop?" Qian Yiyi interjected and asked. She seemed to have some memory. Mrs. Xiao and the shopkeeper were very familiar with each other.
If Mrs. Xiao was the owner over there, could she go through the back door and buy more braised pork?
The braised large intestine tastes so fragrant, and the braised duck neck is not suitable for eating while listening to a play.
When she went to the theater at home, she only ate pastries and tea. When she returned to Beijing, she would make suggestions to her aunt, such as making some braised snacks to eat. She was happy just thinking about it.
"No, but it's okay to treat you to some braised food."
Qian Yiyi: "Thank you, which one do you like to eat? Can you tell the shopkeeper how many more portions of braised large intestine you can sell me?"
She said the second half of the sentence very quietly. Fortunately, she was not in the capital, otherwise others would know that she likes to eat meat from that position.
I will definitely be punished by my grandmother to go to the Buddhist temple and copy scriptures.
Qian Yiyi pulled Lu Lingxi and talked non-stop about food. As for Bai Ruoshui, she had completely forgotten about it.
Bai Ruoshui: .... Is this idiot Qian Yiyi the reincarnation of a starving ghost? When I see people, I only talk about food. Is there a wealthy eldest lady from any family who looks like her?
Bai Ruoshui held the handkerchief tightly, but there was no clue about the expression on his face.
After chatting briefly for a while, Lu Lingxi left the house on the pretext of getting snacks.
Why did Sheng Jing's Qian family come here with Xiao Mochen?
How could it be such a coincidence?
After spending this little time together, Lu Lingxi confirmed that Bai Ruoshui was not reborn.
Qian Bowen and Sun Yulan will find Baiwei Bookstore. Among them, Qian Bowen is particularly fascinated by Journey to the West, and Bai Ruoshui’s secret reminder makes them lucky enough to directly step into Baiwei Bookstore among so many bookstores.
in the shop.
Qian Bowen came to Hexi Mansion this time with a big mission. He promised to conquer this branch of the Qian family, so he went to find Sun Yulan and come with him.
Qian Bowen knew that Sun Yulan was particularly in love with Bai Ruoshui. In his heart, he felt that Bai Ruoshui, a talented woman, was not as good as Sheyang layman!
The big scenes in Journey to the West were much better than those poems that were too wordy and difficult for him to understand anyway.
In his private mind, he felt that even Mr. Xin You's extremely bizarre, touching and realistic love stories between men and women were better than Bai Ruoshui's poems.
In this case, Qian Bowen would not say it, and Sun Yulan would be the first to stab his brother twice for a woman.
Qian Bowen couldn't figure out why Bai Ruoshui came with them to Hexi to see his aunt from afar, but he just did what his father told him to do.
Now it seems that there are still benefits, and Sun Yulan quickly followed.
Before leaving, his father also asked him to come over to find the Sheyang layman. It would be best if he could take the Sheyang layman to the capital to serve their family.
The Journey to the West in the hands of his nephew is now all sent to his study by his father, and he reads it every day.
After talking with his father, Qian Bowen learned that many of his father's colleagues in Shengjing were watching Journey to the West.
No wonder he asked the boy to go to the bookstore to buy Journey to the West, but every time he failed to buy it, it was bought by these high-ranking officials!
We rushed to Baiwei Bookstore early this morning. The little old man in the bookstore told them that Journey to the West was also a story that others had heard about and was only read by children.
Even he himself did not expect that children like Journey to the West, and adults would snatch children’s picture books to read!
Of course Qian Bowen didn't believe it. He was a teenager, not a three-year-old!
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper lay down on the spot and yelled like a naughty boy: "Why don't you go report it to the official, arrest me, and torture me to extract a confession."
"Yes, yes, you just think I'm lying to you, or just beat me to death."
"Hey, for those of you who have ideas for me, I'll write them down in a notebook for you."
"If anything happens to me, my master will seek justice for me, an old man."
Qian Bowen almost knelt down and punched him, but was stopped by Sun Yulan. Who didn't know that Baiwei Bookstore was the private property of the old man in Chao Nei?
The old man was just like a smelly stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. Even his father did not dare to confront the old man.
Moreover, Baiwei Bookstore has always followed the civilian route. The profits behind the books, pens, inks and papers inside are very small. They are all the old man's gratitude to the villagers for supporting him in studying for the imperial examination.
The old man lost money to open a bookstore, and from time to time he went to the emperor to collect wool.
