Chapter 55 Encounter
I have to say that Hongyun Building can become the first restaurant in Jiangling Mansion, which is really not bragging. The appearance of this restaurant looks simple, but the decoration inside is flashy. What surprised Lv Xianger most was all kinds of dishes, which can be said to be 'full of color, fragrance'. However, Song Yuan, Huo Qingsong and Lv Hong were a little dissatisfied. Because the best wine in Hongyun Building is not as good as Lv Xianger's 'shochu' now.
"I didn't feel so bad when I drank this yellow rice wine before. Why is it a little difficult to swallow now? Song Yuan shook his head, put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked Xiaowu to ask for a pot of tea.
As Song Yuan said this, Huo Qingsong and Lv Hong also put down their wine glasses and no longer pretended. When Lv Xianger saw this scene, she immediately had a new idea in her heart. When she arrived in Qingshi County, Lu Xianger thought that she would develop there for a long time. But now I see that in the largest restaurant in Jiangling Mansion, the best wine is not good, and Lv Xianger is a little excited.
However, thinking of the experience of her previous life, Lv Xianger forcibly suppressed this excitement. Jiangling Prefecture was also a provincial capital city in the previous life. In a place like this, the industry competition is definitely not small. Even if Lv Xianger has such a good wine as 'shochu', she acts carelessly and can't gain a foothold in Jiangling Mansion.
"Xiang'er, Mr. Song asked you what else you want to eat." Lv Xianger was thinking, and the voice of Chaoxia beside her gently came to her ears. At the same time, Song Yuan smiled and said, "Xiang'er, if you don't know what else you want to eat, then call Xiao Er over and introduce the dishes of the restaurant."
"No, sir, I've already eaten it, and I can't eat it anymore." Lv Xianger saw that the food on the table had almost been eaten, so she gave Lv Hong a look.
Lv Hong immediately said, "Since Xiang'er is full, let's go back. I'll settle the bill. Mr. Song, don't be angry. It's been agreed before. I'll treat you today. As he spoke, Lv Hong smiled at Song Yuan, got up and walked out.
Song Yuan raised his hand and just wanted to say something, but he was blocked by Lv Hong. Looking at the closed door, Song Yuan shook his head and said nothing. But Huo Qingsong, who was beside him, deliberately looked at Lv Xianger, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Lv Xianger's attention was on Song Yuan at this time. She did not notice Huo Qingsong's expression, but smiled and said, "Mr. Song, today's meal is not only to celebrate my brother's entry into Lumingyuan, but also for your reunion with General Huo many years later. Don't be so polite."
"You brothers and sisters..." Song Yuan sighed gently, but his heart was a little warm.
By the way, Song Yuan really has no source of livelihood in Qingshi County. At most, it is a small idle job in the county government office to receive a meager salary. All his living expenses are all the silver taels he originally carried with him. Lv Erniang knew this, so she didn't mind Song Yuan coming home for dinner. Sometimes, she will ask Lv Hong to find all kinds of excuses to take the initiative to call Song Yuan.
Song Yuan, who knows how to do such a person, is not moved. It was also because he saw Lv Erniang's character clearly that Song Yuan left Qingshi County so shamelessly. Song Yuan's mother, who has been dead for many years, said something that he still remembers in his heart, marrying a wife as a sage.
Out of the Hongyun Building, Song Yuan found that it was only noon and it was still early, so he said to Lv Hong, "Brother Hong, you will come to Lumingyuan to study in two days. Why don't you buy some things you need to go to the college while you still have time today?
"If you don't say it, I've forgotten it." Lv Hong was stunned, and then he remembered the paper given by Luming Academy in his arms. Thinking that there may not be some items written on it in Qingshi County, Lv Hong is very grateful to Song Yuan for thinking, "Then let's go shopping in this Jiangling Mansion."
Song Yuangang nod, but Huo Qingsong suddenly stepped forward and said, "uncle, I want to visit a friend, so I won't go with you."
"Look at your friends?!" Song Yuan looked at Huo Qingsong in surprise, but didn't ask anything. He nodded directly and said, "Well, an hour later, we will meet in Qingxin Teahouse and go back to Qingshi County together."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Qingxin Teahouse in an hour." Huo Qingsong nodded to Lv Hong, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, and then took Huo Bao into another carriage.
Song Yuan also took Lv Hong and the other three people into the carriage and slowly left the Hongyun Building. Without Huo Qingsong, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia seem to be much more relaxed. The two sat in the carriage and chatted softly, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, which did not look like when they came.
On the other side, Song Yuan looked at the paper in Lv Hong's arms and let Xiaowu turn into the alley not far away with his car. After this alley, there is a shop that buys the four treasures of the study. This shop was mentioned by Huo Qingsong from Song Yuan. Although it is not big, the variety is very complete, and the price is not very expensive.
However, just as they passed the quieter alley, the quarrel between the two attracted Lv Xianger's attention. When she looked out through the curtain, her expression immediately moved. After thinking about it, Lv Xianger put down the curtain, turned her head and said to Song Yuan, "Mr. Song, I saw the door of the yard in front of him. The son of Mr. Yuan was arguing with someone. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Oh?" Song Yuan was slightly stunned and immediately opened the curtain and looked out. Seeing that it was indeed Yuan Musheng, he said to Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, stop the carriage and go to the front to see what's going on."
"Okay, the small car will stop and go and have a look right away." Xiaowu quickly drove the carriage aside and stopped next to a high wall. Then he jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly.
It didn't take long for the quarrel to stop. When Xiaowu came back, Yuan Musheng also followed him to thank Song Yuan again. Seeing this, Song Yuan immediately got out of the car and went to talk to Yuan Musheng. In the carriage, Lv Xianger briefly talked to Lv Hong and Chaoxia about the experience of Yuan Musheng and Yuan Jiangren's father and son.
Lv Hong and Chaoxia knew what kind of 'distiller' at home was made by an old man surnamed Yuan. The two of them didn't know that the Yuan Jiang family had also experienced a storm. At the same time, Lv Hong also understood why Lv Xianger was so kind to the Yuan family at that time, giving Yuan Jiang's father and son so much money and those loose conditions.
Chaoxia listened to Lv Xianger's story and looked at Yuan Musheng outside through the cracks in the curtain. When Lv Xianger finished speaking, Chaoxia whispered, "Yuan Musheng outside can't be a carpenter. There is something wrong with his hand. I think he should have been tortured in prison."
"It should be. I heard that Yuan Musheng's craftsmanship when he was a teenager was about to catch up with Yuan Jiangren. It's a pity that the disaster fell from the sky and made it what it is today. Lu Xianger sighed gently and couldn't help thinking of herself. Thinking that from Qianzhou to now, Lv Xianger is really glad that she is surrounded by Lv Erniang and Lv Hong.
Lv Hong, who has been a brother and sister with Lv Xianger for many years, knew what she thought of as soon as she saw Lv Xianger's expression. Lv Hong smiled and said, "Xiang'er, as you said, everyone has their own opportunities, so there is no need to be happy and regretful. What we can do now is to live a better life so that we can be able to help those in need.
"I know, brother." Lv Xianger smiled back to Lv Hong, and her mood gradually improved. When Chaoxia saw this scene, a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. No one knows that she is willing to stay in the Lu family, but she likes the warm relationship between the three people in the Lu family.
About a quarter of an hour, Song Yuan came back with a frown. After sitting in the carriage, he said, "Old Uncle Yuan originally planned to sell his yard and go back to the south of the Yangtze River with Musheng for retirement. Unexpectedly, others thought that Yuan's yard was too expensive and kept the price very low..."
Finally, I met a person who was willing to pay the price Yuanjiang wanted. At the time of exchanging contracts, Yuan Musheng didn't know what was going on. Unexpectedly, he invited an intrick. This man saw the problem in the contract at a glance, and then he knew the scam.
For this matter, Yuan Jiang was sick. Yuan Musheng was also angry and came to find the middleman to argue. Because this middleman is a good friend of the Yuan family, Yuan's father and son didn't expect that this middleman would cheat him like this.
"... Now Uncle Yuan is sick and spends a lot of money. If the yard is not sold at the original price, the father and son will return to the south of the Yangtze River, and Musheng will still have to come out to do something. Song Yuan shook his head and sighed gently. In his heart, he sighed that if this was in Beijing, he would definitely be able to get the money.
Suddenly, Song Yuan thought of something and suddenly raised his head to look at what Lv Xianger and Lv Hong wanted to say. However, thinking that Lv Xianger and Lv Hong were still too young, with Lv Erniang on them, Song Yuan swallowed what he wanted to say.
Let Xiaowu continue to drive with a carriage. Song Yuan also began to think about it with Lv Erniang after going back, but Lv Xianger and Lv Hong were also thinking about it. Although both brothers and sisters bought Yuan's yard as Song Yuan imagined, they all had their own purpose.
Lv Hong's idea is very simple. He will study in Luming Academy in the future, and he may have little time to return to Qingshi County. If you have your own home in Jiangling Mansion, Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger can come to see him. Moreover, you can go back to Qingshi County whenever you want. You don't have to rush back to Qingshi County.
As for Lv Xianger, she thought that if she came to Jiangjiangling Mansion to develop, she really needed her own place. If you look for it at that time, it's better to buy the place you like now. The Yuan craftsman's yard is not big or small, and it is very quiet, which makes Lv Xianger like it very much. Lv Xianger also believes that when Lv Erniang sees this yard, she will be satisfied with living here in the future.
