Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 73 Lu Yu borrowed a car
There was an undercurrent here, and Wen Shu didn't know about it. She watched the lantern with great interest, and saw the official's Longyan with her own eyes, and then returned to the tea stand with satisfaction.

But when she went back, there was still no familiar figure in front of the tea stall. When she asked the stall owner, the stall owner said that she had never seen her father coming.

If you want to see the lights, you must arrive before the lights come on, otherwise there is no fun, but now the lights have been on for a long time, and even the officials have shown up, but there is no sign of my father.

Thinking, thinking, mist suddenly appeared in her eyes, it could not be because she is not here, so father is not coming either.

Thinking of this, she hurried towards home.

But now it is less than an hour and a half away from the third watch, and the north of the city is far from the south. It takes an hour to travel back and forth, but there are no cars or horses to hire right now. At this moment, Wen Shu regrets not following Lu Xi go together.

But I regret it, I still regret it, my father still wants to see him, so he started to trot in a hurry, but just after running for a long time, he collided with someone at the turning intersection ahead.

Fortunately, she didn't run very fast, and she stopped her feet in time, so the two of them didn't fall, they just rubbed a little.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Before she could speak, the voice of the other party apologizing came out first, and the voice was still familiar.

Wen Shu took two steps back, looked up, and couldn't help being stunned, "Mr. Fan Fan."

"Miss Wen!" Fan Zhengqing was also a little surprised, and then said with joy in his eyes: "What a coincidence, Miss Wen also came to watch the lantern."

Thinking of her father, Wen Shu nodded casually: "I've finished rewarding you, Mr. Fan, take your leave."

"Wait." Seeing her eagerness, Fan Zhengqing called to stop her, "Is there something urgent, little lady?"

"I'm in a hurry to go home, Wuxia said more, I hope you will forgive me." After finishing speaking, he picked up the hem of his skirt and wanted to run again.

Fan Zhengqing reached out his hand to stop it, and said enthusiastically, "I don't know what's urgent for the little lady, but if you don't mind, my carriage is right ahead, enough to see the little lady for a ride."

When Wen Shu heard that there was a carriage, Wen Shu immediately stopped in his tracks, looked back at Fan Zhengqing with bright eyes and said, "Really, then I'll have to work."

"It's gone." Fan Zhengqing smiled like a bright moon, "When I sold the cakes, I was thanks to the help of the young lady. My carriage stopped in front of me less than a hundred paces away. Please, young lady."

Speaking of this, Wen Shu suddenly remembered that she had seen him drinking with others in the building that day, and then looked at the silk shirt on his body, and the carriage at home. She didn't understand all these connections.

The Fan Sanlang in front of him is clearly a fake poor man, but a real rich man.

Moreover, there really is a rich man named Fan in the north of the city, in the back alley of Dongzi Street where it meets Xizi Street.

Sure enough, as soon as she thought about it, she saw Fan Zhengqing turned around and made a bow, and said apologetically, "To tell you the truth, I am actually the third son of the Fan family in the back alley of Dongzi Street. The test at home wants me to know that people’s lives are difficult, so I can work hard to study hard, and being able to meet the little lady is also a chance meeting of marriage, and it is not intentional to deceive, I hope the little lady will forgive me."

"What did Mr. Fan say?" Wen Shuhun waved his hand indifferently: "You and I have never met before, how can you tell your family history as soon as we met, you are not impolite, and you have extended a helping hand today. I deserve a thank you." Saying that, he said a blessing.

"Should be, should be." Fan Zhengqing saw her so polite and reasonable for the first time, and was a little at a loss for a while.

The Fan family's carriage was indeed not far away, the two went there while talking, and they arrived in a short while.

Sitting in front of the carriage was a coachman over forty years old, who was in a daze of boredom. Seeing Fan Zhengqing approaching, he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Third Young Master."

"Uncle Shunzi, this little lady has something urgent to go home, please give her a ride." After speaking, he turned and asked Wen Shu, "I don't know where the little lady lives?"

"Xiaocha Lane in the north of the city."

Xiaocha Lane, Fan Zhengqing secretly wrote down this place.

Uncle Shunzi hesitated and said, "Then madam"

"It's okay, my mother still has a meeting in the tea house, so you won't delay this little lady when you come back to pick her up."

He said so, what else could the coachman say, he respectfully asked Wen Shu to get into the carriage, Wen Shu nodded to him, blessed Fan Zhengqing, and climbed into the carriage with hands and feet.

Fan Zhengqing was amused to see it, and thought to himself that this is really her, she was not so gentle before.

Since most of the people are concentrated near the Imperial Street, the carriages are less congested after driving for a certain distance. The driver is obviously an experienced driver, and the carriages are fast and steady. In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Xiaocha Lane .

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, Wen Shu thanked him, and quickly ran back to his home with his skirt in hand.

"Daddy, daddy," she yelled.Before people arrive, the sound arrives first.

In the east room, Wen Tai, who was taking off his clothes and was about to go to bed, heard some unbelievable shouts. He was at a loss for a moment, and then he heard the door of the courtyard being slammed. Then he realized that it was not an auditory hallucination, so he hurriedly put on his clothes. to open the door.

"A-Ning, why are you back?!" After opening the door, seeing that it was indeed Wen Shuhou standing outside, she couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

Wen Shu didn't answer but instead asked, "Why didn't Dad go to Yujie to see the lanterns today?"

Wen Tai smiled and said, "You're not here, Dad is a big man, so he doesn't want to join in the fun. It just so happens that he didn't sleep well last night, so he wants to rest early to catch up on sleep."

I didn't sleep well. It's because of what she said.

Wen Shu sighed, then raised a smile, stepped into the door and said, "People from the Hou's Mansion have also come out to watch the lanterns. Miss Lu doesn't need my service for the time being, so I came back. I thought you would also watch the lanterns." Yes, I've been waiting for a while at Grandma Wang's tea stand."

Hearing this, Wen Tai couldn't help being a little annoyed, "This father really didn't expect that, if I knew you could come out to watch the lanterns, I would have gone." Then he asked: "Then you come back at night but can you come out to watch the lanterns?" live at home?"

Wen Shu shook his head dejectedly: "No, I have to go back before the third watch."

"Yo, then it's too late, why did you come back?"

"It's not because you didn't look at the lights, but you are thinking about it."

"Success, stop talking, hurry up and have a sip of tea."

Pulling his daughter into the courtyard, Wen Tai went to the kitchen and poured her a bowl of still warm water, then asked if he was full for dinner and if he wanted to cook a bowl of noodles for her.

Wen Shu shook her head with a smile, and told him that everything was fine with her in the Hou Mansion. Miss Lu was not difficult to talk to, and she got along well with the other maids, so don't worry.

The father and daughter had a conversation, and seeing that it was getting late, Wen Tai said that he was going to send Wen Shu back to the south of the city, and happened to stop by to see the lights.

Wen Shu refused at first, thinking that her father would come back alone later, which would make her look even more lonely.

But Wen Tai insisted on sending it off, and said that after such a sleepiness, she drove her away. She left, and he was bored at home alone, so he might as well go out and look at the lights. It's time to come back together.

Wen Shu couldn't resist him, and wanted to stay with him again, so he agreed.

Wen Tai tidied up a bit, and then went out with Wen Shu.

At this time, there was still an hour before the third watch, and it only took half an hour to go back quickly, so the father and daughter were not in a hurry, and walked to the south of the city while strolling.
