Chapter 9 Favor
Bu Nuan shook her head and said no need. She came to see the old man's clothes. She didn't apply grease and powder on her face, and she didn't have to worry about wearing makeup. This is the advantage of facing the sky. At worst, you can wash your face and don't delay anywhere.
Ye Zhixian's resentful slant Lansheng squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "The clever words make you look good, and you don't have a good heart!"
Lan Sheng looked at her coldly, "Which is the smart word or the honey sword, what does it have to do with you?" He pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly, "Aren't you jealous? It's not impossible if you really want to go. Miss Ye opens his mouth. Mr. Lan doesn't care about villains and can think for you.
Zhixian took a sip, "You think it's beautiful! Not to mention that I disdain to go with you, even if I really want to go, can't I go to Taoran Restaurant without you? She walked out of the Songting with her head held high and said, "Miss I am broad-minded and not as casual as you. There is a meeting between mountains and rivers. Don't be complacent too early. Just be careful to be happy and sad!" With that, the maid went away.
Bu Nuan looked in the direction she left and muttered, "Let's wait a minute!" In case she arranges another carriage to go with us, wait until she can be a companion.
Lan Sheng glanced impatiently at Zhixian's back, "She is a proud person and can't pull down this face. Don't wait for her, let's go now!"
Bu Nuan lowered his head and followed him to the door of the house. The chariot had been waiting there for a long time. The tarp carport supported by the crank carved carving, and the tall car was simple and small.
Xiu took a cap and put it on her, pinned it on the edge of the soap yarn and told her, "If you don't go with slaves and maidservants, you should be careful." He also owed his body to Lan Sheng and said, "My young lady came to Chang'an for the first time, and all the Lao Gongzi took care of her."
Lan Sheng nod slightly and got into the car before leaning over to pull her. Bu Nuan hesitated to take it. His palms were with thin cocoons, warm and powerful. He closed his fingers and held her tightly in the palm of his hand. Bu Nuan was so close to the man for the first time, and she blushed and felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lan Sheng couldn't see it, but she could pretend to be generous.
The whip beat in the air, and the two horses spread their hoofs and ran, and in a blink of an eye, they came out of the spring.
Bu Nuan looked around through the soap yarn. On both sides of the official road were many restaurants and teahouses. There were colorful lanterns hanging in front of the shop, and the enchanting woman under the porch welcomed the delivery. In the Zhuhong gate, Hu Teng dancer jumped and rotated on the high platform wearing a hat full of jewelry, and the silver bell at his waist was accompanied by every movement. The incense in theding furnace steamed all over the room, and Chang'an floated everywhere with prosperity and luxury.
She leaned her finger and pointed to the sea of joy, "Where is that place?"
"Where is it?" Lan Sheng glanced at the indifferent glance, "The Zhuochun Building in Pingkang Square is a place for nobles to have fun."
"We are going there?" Bu Nuan smiled and said, "It looks really lively."
Lan Sheng shook his head, "Do you really believe in idle words? Men sometimes socialize, and it is inevitable to go in and out of such an occasion. I dare not say that we are as clean as Liu Xiahui, but it is not as unbearable as Zhixian said. This banquet is also an official business. It's not good to go to that kind of place in broad daylight. Your uncle is a face-loving person and doesn't want to be honest behind his back, not to mention giving you a welcome. He turned his face and couldn't see the facial features behind the soap veil clearly, but his eyes were particularly focused and warned her, "A good girl from a good family never goes there. It's a depraved gold cave that will lead people badly. After passing through here, you have to take a detour.
Bu Nuan lowered his eyes and said that he was really lenient and taught her, just like a decent gentleman. How did he treat himself? In the blink of an eye, it became inevitable. In fact, she grew up in the capital, and the Luoyang teaching workshop also bloomed everywhere. The Huji fans in the brothels sang at night, and the songs floated out of Anhua Gate along Luoshui.
"Since you know that it will lead people badly, why do you still go there?" She pretended to be stupid and stunned, covered her face with her little finger, and blinked her big eyes innocently. "Try to your uncle, sister Zhixian doesn't like him going to that kind of place!"
Lan Sheng inspected her beautiful eyebrows and said gently, "Nuan'er doesn't like it either, does she?"
She nodded, "A gentleman carries things with virtue, and his body is upright and doesn't make him go. I know that both the prince and uncle have been familiar with Confucius and Mencius since childhood, and they are in important positions and often appear in that kind of scene.
In other words, he may feel disgusted and even angry, but when he comes out of her mouth, he will feel heavenly and pleasant.
General Lan knows himself too well. He comes from a prominent background. His mother is the princess of Yangcheng. His father is a master and a lieutenant of Guoyi. The first four sisters are the oldest, and the family takes care of him. He came to this world with the golden key and was destined to be a bastard from the ground. In the past 20 years, I have been very worried about nothing, except for fighting for my life. The master in the school or the two elders in the family, he was worried about whoever talked in front of him. He thought that his life would be so lawless, but who knew that the situation turned sharply.
"I'll listen to you." He said with a deep smile, "I'm too idle to have fun. In the future, I have something serious to do, and it won't be done if I don't put it down."
He said, "I'll listen to you", which made her tremble on her back. He was at a loss and didn't dare to look at him. He hurriedly put down the soap and turned his face away.
The girl's family is ashamed, and Lan Sheng doesn't think so. She was so calm that a pool of stagnant water was not good, and it was easy to ignore him. When necessary, you have to shake and ripples to feel his existence. It is natural for a man to throw bricks to attract jade. Anyway, he is thick-skinned and not afraid of being laughed at by her.
He coughed and said slowly, "Your uncle and I are close, and we will often come and go in the future. You always make the prince look estranged."
Bu Nuan thought for a moment, "It's disrespectful not to call you prince. You are my uncle's friend."
The cowhide whip in Lan Sheng's hand swings leisurely and smiles, "Where are there so many rules! Unlike your uncle, everyone is free to live a comfortable life. You call me Lan Sheng and the song, but don't be commensurate with the prince. Seeing that Bu Nuan didn't accept it, he turned his head and joked, "Isn't it afraid of tolerance and blame? This man is really a fake Taoist. Did you scold him before you saw him? Don't be afraid. If he says anything, I will resist it.
Bu Nuan is really puzzled. This Lan Sheng is too enthusiastic. It's not a matter to be so close. He wants to refute but is afraid that he will accidentally offend people, so he can only acquiesce.
For a moment, he sat on the official road and turned a few corners. Lan Sheng gently hit the whip on the car, slowed down the horse, and the Tao Ran Restaurant, who set up a dinner party, arrived.
The pub is fragrant and has no smell of greasy food. It is also simple and elegantly decorated. The neat door and window lines and snow-white yarns, and there are faint piano songs.
The clerk in the store was wearing a missing crotch robe, and the corner of his shirt was tied in his belt. He ran forward and saluted with his fork. "Why did General Lan come here now? The governor has been waiting in Yajian for a while, and the small two lead up." But he talked to each other, "Look, today's big governor's banquet is a senior official, with big waists and fat. Coincidentally, a group of songs came from Youzhou. The girl in it was beautiful. She was good at Changwen, Lotus Falling Zi, Flower Drum Opera, and Gaotai Songs. She turned back and chose two to serve the Langjun.
Lan Sheng smiled and said, "You son of a bitch, your business is doing well! Don't rush to assign a place, listen to Jian Yaxu to send a group, ask them to wait first, and I'll go later.
Xiao Er replied loudly, and the two of them went up the wide steps with a smile.
Tao Ran's restaurant is very large and the environment is quiet. The buildings on the left and right sides are independent and connected by an overpass to the main house. However, wherever you can put down the flower pot, there are always green flowers and plants. This place to eat and get drunk is not as vulgar as other places, and it is very dusty.
Lan Sheng said to Bu Nuan, "Let's go to your uncle first, see the gift and then withdraw. Rong and leave the table also have an explanation."
Bu Nuan didn't want to see strangers, but she had no choice but to listen to his arrangement when she came here. Fortunately, there is an uncle there, and there is still someone to rely on.
"Don't be afraid. Just say good peace. It won't take long." When Lan Sheng saw her stattering, he bowed slightly and said softly to comfort her.
While talking, he arrived at a pavilion, with three curtains hanging low, and two rows of large red lanterns hung vertically in front of the main door. Bu Nuan looked up, and the wind blew the bamboo curtain and swayed slightly. He faintly saw several people sitting in the pavilion. He didn't know what to say and laughed loudly.
Lan Sheng lowered his head and asked, "Do you still recognize your uncle?" He pointed to the person in front of the screen, "That's the one in the official robe."
Bu Nuan looked over, and his uncle did not sit on his head. Half of his body leaned against him and showed his side face. I only saw a purple Lingluo court suit, with a goldfish bag hanging under the golden jade on his waist. He did not wear Wuben, and his hair was meticulous. Sitting alone, he was already Xiao Xiao Susu, bright and clear.
Bu Nuan's heart jumped up, and he was a little timid for no reason. This is an elder, or a big and dogmatic one. She looked carefully and thought dimly in her mind. The momentum of her uncle in front of her was different from that of last night. She must have been sleepy. How could she think that uncle was that gentle and elegant appearance?
"How did the meeting song come!" The people sitting in the south of the pavilion were sharp-eyed. They stood up first and hugged their fists, "General Lan is so busy! The general just said you, tell us to wait!"
Lan Sheng's face was with a usual smile in the officialdom, and he bowed his hands warmly. "Donglin, Brother Pei Ru, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been more than half a year. You two are all well."
Bu Nuan's eyes stopped on his uncle. He put down his wine glass and looked back, with handsome eyebrows and a rare appearance. There seemed to be a smile on the corners of his mouth. When he stared, he focused, but what floated in his eyes was faintly.
She was horrified and hurriedly took two steps to restrain herself. "My uncle is safe and warm and polite."
Rong Yu nodded and said in a warm voice, "I'm tired on the road. I came back home last night. I wanted to see you, but I'm afraid you've rested." As he spoke, he remembered the figure cast on the window paper under the shadow of the lamp and couldn't help laughing, "When did you settle it?"
Bu Nuan felt a little guilty and said, "I went to bed early, and the right time card rested."
He hummed, "How are your father and mother?"
Bu Nuan said, "Don't worry, uncle, everything is fine with your parents."
He frowned slightly, "Don't be in front of his uncle." After saying that, he changed his smiling face and took her to introduce her to the two governors, "This is Rong Yu's niece who only came to the house yesterday." He said to Bu Nuan again, "Come and give a gift to the two Langjun!"
Bu Nuan Shi gave a homage, "Langjuns are polite."
The governors bowed their hands and returned the salute. The fat belly named Pei Ru smiled and said, "Miss my cousin is so beautiful that I'm afraid she will be better than the one in the Taiping View! Previously, I saw that I came with the meeting song. I still thought it was Mrs. Lan. I was annoyed that I didn't catch up with the meeting song. It turned out to be a false alarm.
The cloth was embarrassed on the warm face, and there was a three-point fear in the color. "Cao Gong's words are not worthy of this. How can Rong and his family be compared with Qiansui? This is a crime, and it's a broken face."
Lan Sheng is not as cautious as the general. In his opinion, Cao Peiru is really the most discerning person in the world. Mrs. Lan... Such a name is really pleasing!
He turned around and led the two to the seat and answered with a smile, "Lan borrowed his brother's good words, looking forward to this year's good fate and marry Ruhua's beautiful family earlier!" Come and have a drink together. There must be a lot of news on the way. Hurry up and talk about the customs of the Western Regions. I yearn for Dunhuang when I was a child. This trip, the court sent people to go there, which is a pity.
Peiru sneered, "What's good? Yellow sand is all over the sky! If you don't cover your hand when you sneeze, you can blow your mouth!"
Donglin sighed, "I didn't know what heaven and earth was until I went back to Chang'an! The two generals are now stationed in Beijing. That's a good thing that many people are looking for. How can they be hot to us instead!"
The talk was booming over there. Rong Yu asked for a fake, reached out and took off her cap and said, "I have a long elegant room with Lan Sheng. It's quiet. I'll send you there first. You can come with me."
