Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 247 Invitation

Chu Xin turned back to the restaurant and asked Chu Hong and Wen Shu to explain the situation.

After about half a stick of incense, Zhao Xichun came out with an oiled paper bag and Fan Sanlang, the two went straight to the teahouse, and met Chu Hong and others on the second floor after a while.

After the greetings and greetings between the two parties, Zhao Xichun handed the oiled paper bag in his hand to Chu Hong, "Here, these are the steamed buns that the fourth younger sister and the new brother asked for. There are only two for the brother, so Shaozhi gave me his share." , that’s all.”

"Thank you Fan Langjun." Chu Hong thanked with a smile.

Fan Zhengqing smiled slightly, "It's okay, we eat these steamed buns every day, and my cousin came from a long way, so I want you to have a good taste."

He and Zhao Xichun are both classmates and good friends, so they discuss their generational titles together with him.

Chu Hong was not a delicate person either. After thanking him, he immediately took out a steamed bun from the oil-paper bag and handed it to Wen Shu, "Here, try it first."

Wen Shu was also polite, smiled at the two people opposite, took the steamed bun and bit it down.

The steamed buns have thin skin and big stuffing, and the aroma of meat is overflowing after one bite. The light sauce and scallions linger on the tip of the tongue. It is really delicious and lives up to its reputation.

While tasting it, Wen Shu kept nodding in praise, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Seeing her eating happily, Fan Zhengqing couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

She wore a light blue tulle tube top dress today, combed her hair in a double bun, and tied a hairband of the same color on each side. Her delicate waist was unbearable, and she stood there like a lotus flower just out of the lake in the summer morning Buds, fresh and elegant.

Although Taixue steamed buns were delicious, Wen Shu was not very hungry because he had eaten Zhu Yu Gao, so he only tasted one and stopped.

Four steamed buns, one for Sanyi, and the remaining one, Chu Hong gave Wen Shu, Wen Shu didn't want it, so she shared half with Chu Xin.

They didn't eat anything before they came, and now Chu Hong is basically full after eating one and a half steamed buns, but Chu Xin is still a half-sized man, just when he eats a lot, and now he yells that he is not full and wants to find another restaurant Have a meal.

Zhao Xichun and the others didn't eat, and just now they had already said that they would invite Fan Sanlang, so they said he was a treat and took them to the nearby Taihe Restaurant for dinner.

Wen Shu didn't feel hungry, so he shirked that he had something to do in the afternoon and let them eat by themselves.

Chu Hong didn't know the inside story, thought she was really busy and didn't persuade her, only told her to take it with her to play when she had time, and left with Chu Xin and the others.

After walking a few steps, Fan Sanlang turned around and watched the light blue figure leave, feeling a little lost in his heart.

After parting with them, Wen Shu didn't go home immediately, but found a nearby letter stand, and borrowed a pen and paper to write two greetings.One for Lu Yuancheng and one for Lu Xingwan.

When she was trapped in the prime minister's mansion, these two made great efforts. They should have expressed their gratitude and hosted a banquet in the first place, but they were entangled with miscellaneous things. It has been a few days. If there is no banquet, people will think she has forgotten.

She first expressed her gratitude on the greeting card, and then wrote down the intention, date, and location of the treat.

Tomorrow and the next two days are auspicious days for banquets, so she will pass the greeting cards first. If Master Lu and Miss Lu are not free these two days, they will definitely plan a free day and tell her, and it will not count if she arranges according to this faux pas.

After writing the greeting card, Wen Shu went directly to the Hou Mansion.

She had been to the Hou's Mansion a few times, and the gatekeeper had some impressions of her, and he didn't make any trouble. He handed the letter in in a proper manner, and Wen Shu waited for the letter at the door.

Not long after, Nanny Chen, who was beside the eldest girl, came out and said to Wenshu with a smile, "Miss invites the young lady to come in and talk."

Wen Shu also wanted to thank her in person, so she followed her in.

Arriving at Dewen Jingyuan, Miss Lu was squatting in the yard, pruning a pot of pine scenery. Seeing her coming, she hurriedly handed the flower scissors to the girl beside her.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Miss Lu asked about the Xiangfu last time, before she said: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is indeed a good day for banquets, but yesterday Princess Wei sent a post to invite me to attend the Western Conference. Yuan’s Flower Appreciation Poetry Meeting is exactly the day after tomorrow, and I have already agreed.” Then, he sighed, “If I had known earlier that you invited me to dinner, I would not have gone.”

Wen Shu smiled, "There's no rush, the eldest girl is going to attend the poetry meeting by herself, and it's not too late to invite me for this meal when you are free."

"But I really don't want to go to that poetry meeting." Lu Xingwan frowned, "I don't know any of those people, and I didn't even have anyone to talk to."

When Mrs. Hou asked someone to hand in the post, she said that it would be best to attend if there was nothing important to do.My brother also said that going out more often and getting to know some people is not bad.

"People are familiar from unfamiliar to familiar. Maybe this time when I come back, the eldest girl will make some friends." Wen Shu comforted with a smile.

Lu Xingwan glanced at her and lamented, "It's not that easy."

She had just divorced not long ago. Although the Anpingbo Mansion was at fault first, as one of the parties involved, it was inevitable that she would listen to some gossip when she went out at this time.

It’s fine if those people don’t give advice in person, let’s be friends, hmph.
She resisted this gathering in her heart, but at the same time, she knew that it was impossible for her to hide in the Hou's mansion all her life and not go out, as long as she went out, she would definitely be able to hear some voices.

Some things have to be faced sooner or later.

Although he thought clearly in his heart, he still wanted to escape in action.

Wen Shu didn't know the inside story, but Yinhong and Luliu beside Lu Xingwan knew everything about her. How could they not know her temperament when they grew up with Lu Xingwan.

Since receiving the post yesterday, the girl's frown has not been loosened until she saw the greeting post from Mrs. Wen just now.

Thinking of the girl's worries, Yinhong suddenly had an idea, and said to Wenshu, "Miss Wen, will you be free in the future? Why don't you go with the eldest girl."

"I'm not good." Wen Shu was a little taken aback.

The party hosted by Wei Guogong must invite the daughters of officials like Miss Lu, she is an ordinary person, how can she go.

Lu Xingwan was reminded by Yinhong and said repeatedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, are you free in the future?"

"This" is free, but it's not suitable for her to go on this occasion.

She told the truth, but Miss Lu said: "You don't have to worry about this. You can bring close friends and close friends into the gathering hosted by Duke Wei. There is a precedent for this."

Princess Wei gave birth to a son and two daughters. The eldest son was married long ago, but the second daughter just arrived at the age of marriage, so the purpose of this poetry meeting is self-evident.

Since it is for the purpose of meeting people, then naturally the more people the better, like some princes and noble families, they can also bring their classmates and friends to participate.

After all, they are from a poor family today, but in the future they may be listed on the gold list and become disciples of the emperor, so as long as they are innocent and have a good character, their status is not too important.

Of course, if it weren't for someone he could trust, no one would casually bring someone in. After all, if something happened, the person who brought the person would be more responsible.

Hearing what she said, Wen Shu remembered the woman and the carriage she saw on the street last time
She took the time to visit Granny Xiong yesterday, her eyesight has recovered very well, and Old Man Xiong is also better, he will take the initiative to eat, it is Shunzi's matter, there is still no progress.

Mrs. Xiong handed over the matter of the carriage and the marks on the carriage she drew to the government, but the government said that because Mrs. Xiong did not see the person who took the child away with her own eyes, it cannot be determined that the child was taken away by the woman.

Therefore, even if they find out the identity of the owner of the carriage, they cannot search it rashly.

After Granny Xiong got the news, she felt that it was hopeless to find her child, and she began to cry again.

Although Wen Shu didn't really want to go to this kind of gathering where the rich and powerful officials gathered, he was afraid that he would accidentally offend someone and cause disasters, but seeing Miss Lu looking at her expectantly, she remembered the carriage again.

Finally nodded.

　Thank you Lonely, Xiao Baoji for your rewards, and thank you for your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.

　　There is no update these days because the child is sick again.

　　hey, tired
　　Hope everything will be better in the new year.
