Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 97 Seeking 2 (Coincidence on the Street)
Xie Yuanniang wants to find Jiang Cai today. She has no one in hand now, so she can only ask for some people from Jiang Cai, but the news she inquired about is not good. She is also struggling with what to do. Only then did someone come out to escort Han Xue to his hometown.

Jiang Cai couldn't stay idle all day long, and he would join in wherever there were too many people. Xie Yuanniang and Ling Mei walked three teahouses, but they still couldn't find Jiang Cai, but they were attracted by the figures of several people.

Ruyi Zhai is the largest and most luxurious shop, and the people who come and go are often high-status and wealthy people.

Standing not far away, Xie Yuanniang saw Gu Tingzhi and his group.

Speaking of which, all the people in this group were descendants of Xunshi in Jinling City, and their backgrounds were either noble or high.

Gu Tingzhi, who was born in Gu Shangshu's mansion, Song Huairong, the heir of the county prince he befriended, Dong Gufeng and Ren Xianhong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, were also among them. This surprised Xie Yuanniang. A person of high status has contacts.

As for Donggufeng, Xie Yuanniang met once in her family's mansion in her previous life, and Gu Tingzhi entertained him, so she can recognize him at a glance.

Xie Yuanniang also knew the woman, first was the bright and cold Song Nanrong, and then Dong Shi, and there was a delicate girl standing beside Dong Shi. Dong Shi, who had always been a clean-eyed person, could rarely speak with a smile on his face.

Dong Shi's mother was the daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Xie Yuanniang guessed that this was Dong Shi's grandmother's cousin, Donggufeng's younger sister Dongnanzhi, and then Su Yingying, who was smiling and lively, stood beside her.

Su Yingying is the daughter of Su Chen, the servant of the Ministry of War, and Su Chen was General Liu's lieutenant general. In his previous life, this Su Chen was also killed because he had evidence that General Liu was wronged.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuanniang sneered, such an argument on the surface, but who would know that there was such an inside story in private.

Dong Shi has always been on good terms with Su Yingying, which is also the reason for the close relationship between the Dong family and the Su family. One is the secretary of the household department, and the other is the newly appointed minister of the military department. It is no wonder that the relationship between the two families who have no intersection is so close.

Her gaze fell on Ren Xianhong again, feeling a little bored. Could it be that in her previous life it was because she had so many opportunities to get in touch with Dong Shi that Ren Xianhong married Dong Shi for a long time?

If she hadn't come out today for something, she really wouldn't have known such a situation.

Xie Yuanniang came out today to find Jiang Cai, and at this moment, she felt that it was important for Ren Xianhong and Dong Shi to be together. After all, there was only one duck. Dong Shi was the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and she was better than her in every aspect. .

Seeing several people entering Ruyizhai, Xie Yuanniang did not hesitate, and then entered Wenxiangju opposite Ruyizhai.

Wenxiangju is the largest teahouse in Jinling. The most common pot of tea costs one tael of silver, and the cheapest dim sum costs two taels of silver. Xie Yuanniang’s private money saved over the years can only be used once at Wenxiangju. Tea, you can't enter the private room yet.

As soon as the master and servant came in, the waiter greeted him, "Who is this girl? Did you make an appointment before?"

Xie Yuanniang glanced around the hall on the first floor. There was no one there. Her gaze finally stopped at the window. Xiao Er was a wink. She immediately saw that the young lady was dressed brightly, and she might not be in her pocket. I don't have so much money, and I don't want to embarrass the guests, so I immediately recommend the window location.

".This place is near the window, and you can see the street as soon as you look up. The window paper of our Wenxiangju is pasted up twice. As long as the window is closed, the sound from the outside can be cut off without making any noise. The girl comes alone. Drink tea, just sit here and sit here."

After a few words, I can’t afford to spend money, and I’m just talking about hype, even if I want to make people unhappy, and I don’t look down on it at all.

Xie Yuanniang thinks that the things here are expensive and worth the price.

She rejected Xiao Er's kindness, "Is there a private room upstairs?"

Xiao Er smiled even wider, "Yes, the girl will go up to the second floor with Xiao Er."

The private room on the second floor is by the window. After sitting down, Xie Yuanniang ordered a few special snacks of Xiangwenju, and ordered a pot of Biluochun. As soon as Xiao Er retreated, Ling Mei hurriedly said, "Girl, come out this time on the maidservant's body." I didn't bring that much silver with me."

"I only have a few taels of private money. How much more can you bring if you want? I don't think it's enough money for a plate of dim sum at Xiangwenju." Xie Yuanniang knew what she was worried about, "This kind of big place can be paid for. , and then go to the house to pay the bill, don’t worry, I’ll talk to my father when I get back.”

The big deal is to sell a few high imitation paintings.

After living a new life, Xie Yuanniang never wanted to wrong herself, she had to eat well and use well.

Ling Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled again, "I heard that the horseshoe cake in Wenxiang Pavilion is the best."

"Then you should eat more." Xie Yuanniang replied absent-mindedly, her eyes had already swept to Ruyi Zhai across the street.

After Xiaoer brought the things up, Gu Ting and his group also came out from Ruyizhai. The four men walked in front, the woman followed, and the group of people quickly disappeared on the street.

Xie Yuanniang slowly withdrew her gaze, her ears were quietly listening to the movement outside, and within a short time, she heard footsteps and voices outside, Xie Yuanniang curled her lips, they really have a good mood, and they still have to come over after shopping Tasting tea.

Not long after, there was a faint voice from the next door, talking about the ethnological debate, and also about the Zhuangyuan building. Xie Yuanniang stood up and put her ear on the partition of the private room, and faintly heard someone mentioning her .

"Xie Er Zhuangyuanlou became famous in the first battle. I haven't seen her figure in the ethnological debates these days."

Xie Yuanniang was not familiar with this voice, she guessed it was either Dongnanzhi from the Gu family or Su Yingying.

Xie Yuanniang recognized the voice below, it was Song Nanrong.

"Yesterday I heard that she went to Fairy Lake and had a quarrel with Yang Zhaodi. She is usually the most high-profile, but now that the Zhuangyuan Building is shining brightly, she seldom appears in front of everyone. I'm afraid it's because of Master Xie's demotion. Feel ashamed of us."

While the woman was chattering, a male voice sounded, "Ting Zhi, there is still something to do in the mansion, I will take my leave first, and we will meet again at another day."

Xie Yuanniang's fingers slowly clenched, it was Gu Tingzhi.

"I have something to do, why don't we go together." This time it was Ren Xianhong who spoke.

There were originally four men in the private room, but now two have left, it is difficult to keep women here, Song Huairong was also a little embarrassed, he said a few polite words, and wanted to give them away, but was finally refused to stay.

"Girl?" Ling Mei stopped to eat when the master stuck to the partition to eavesdrop. Now that the girl was about to go out, she didn't understand.

"Wait here, I'll be back right away. A woman has to show weakness and act coquettishly in front of a man, so that he can remember you." Xie Yuanniang dropped the words excitedly, pushed open the door of the private room, and looked at the door next door After closing it, he lifted his skirt and chased downstairs.
