Chapter 18 Peerless Treasure
As long as Zhang Anchu leaves the house, Siyu will definitely put this veil on her, because she is so good-looking, so when she goes out, no one can see her appearance, in case anyone has evil intentions.
Zhang Anchu didn't have any objections. Just wear the veil with it. It would be less troublesome. However, wearing this veil is still very uncomfortable, especially on the ears, which are a bit harsh.
When she arrived at the door of Peiping Hall, Aunt Bai had been standing here for some time, with Zhang Hongze beside her. Aunt Bai must have taken her because she was worried that he would be alone in the courtyard.
"Chuchu, where do you want to go?" Aunt Bai asked.
"I want to go and listen to books." Zhang Anchu likes this. Whenever he goes out, he will definitely listen to books.
"Okay." Aunt Bai glanced at Zhang Hongze and said, "Follow me and my sister, don't get lost."
Zhang Hongze nodded. Although he couldn't speak, he could understand what others said. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Anchu felt that his brother was not a fool.
Just like that, Aunt Bai and her group came out of the Marquis Mansion and got on the carriage, followed by four young men.
This boy was arranged by Mrs. Hou, not only Aunt Bai, but also others. First, it would be safer to have the boy following her, and second, it would be for surveillance.
However, Aunt Bai and Zhang Anchu don't do anything shameful, so they are naturally not afraid of others spying on them. It will be safer to have the servants follow them, and avoid being bullied by local gangsters.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the teahouse. Aunt Bai led them in. The hall was already full of people.
"How many guests are there?" the waiter greeted when he saw someone coming in.
"Find a good seat in the private room on the second floor." Jinxin, the maid next to Aunt Bai, said, and handed the waiter a piece of silver.
The waiter saw that the lady coming from a wealthy family was very generous. He quickly led them to the second floor and found a seat directly opposite. He could see the storyteller on the stage and immediately served tea and snacks.
.
When Zhang Hongze saw some snacks being served, he took them and ate them without saying a word.
At this time, the storyteller on the stage was talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Anchu had already read the entire book.
"Sir, what do you want to hear? You can order." The waiter asked with a hunched smile.
It was rare for Zhang Anchu to come out of the mansion, so he must have heard something different, as Aunt Bai looked over with her eyes full of expectation.
Seeing her look, Aunt Bai smiled and nodded, meaning it was up to her.
"Let the storyteller tell something new, and don't tell me about the talented man and the beautiful woman. I don't like to hear it." Zhang Anchu said excitedly. She was most annoyed by the drama about the talented man and the beautiful woman, especially the one who had to wait for ten years in a cold kiln to dig wild vegetables.
Thousands of gold.
"Okay, little one, let's go talk to the storyteller."
The waiter left quickly. Zhang Anchu was looking forward to what the storyteller would say.
Seeing that she was still acting like a child, Aunt Bai shook her head helplessly, thinking that she still had something to do today, and said to her: "Chu Chu, Auntie is going to pay homage to her relatives, so you can stay in this teahouse and listen to a book."
.”
Zhang Anchu heard that she wanted to pay homage to her relatives, and she thought it was her sister who had been dead for many years. However, as a concubine of the Hou Mansion, if she wanted to pay homage, she could only pay homage to her father and mother's relatives. Aunt Bai was just an aunt.
There is no mother, and Aunt Bai was born in a brothel, as was her younger sister.
However, Zhang Anchu also wanted to go and said, "Aunt Bai, let me go with you."
Aunt Bai knew that she had this intention and was satisfied, and said: "This is against the rules. If the Marquis finds out, he will definitely get angry."
She knew that this was against the rules, and since the Marquis of Peking had always looked down on her origins and ridiculed her, she certainly couldn't let Zhang Anchu go and harm her for nothing.
When Zhang Anchu heard what she said, he knew that he couldn't go today. Aunt Bai was worried. Besides, in addition to the wet nurse and maid, there were four servants here. They had to report what they did today.
You can't hide it from others.
Aunt Bai stood up, left two servants with Zhang Anchu, and led the maid away to the cemetery outside the city.
At this moment, Zhang Anchu's attention was not on his younger brother. When he turned around, he saw that he had finished eating the cakes on the table, leaving only a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake untouched.
"Brother, you eat so much now. If you see something delicious on the street later, how will you be able to eat it?"
Zhang Hongze shook his head, he didn't want to eat anything else, he just wanted to fill his stomach.
Then he squatted down and looked at the patterns on the legs of the table.
"Brother, don't you listen to the book?" Zhang Anchu also squatted down to see what he was studying.
Zhang Hongze pointed to his ears. According to Zhang Anchu's many years of experience with him, he was saying that his ears could hear.
I sighed secretly in my heart, doing two things with one heart and one mind full of proficiency.
Zhang Anchu simply ignored him, and the storyteller began to tell a new story.
This time, it tells the story of Prime Minister Liu Ming, how he oppressed the people and how he rebelled. It is told with real eyes and nose, as if it is real history.
The emperor at that time beheaded more than 30,000 people in a fit of rage. From then on, the country was peaceful and the people were at peace.
Zhang Anchu was still not satisfied with what he heard, thinking that he would tell Aunt Bai when she came back.
Zhang Anchu didn't want to hear what was said next. There were many people in the teahouse and the smell was mixed. After a long time, the smell rushed up to the second floor and became a bit unpleasant, so he asked Siyu to open the outside window for some fresh air.
After Zhang Anchu entered the private room and the waiter left, she took off her veil. Wearing the veil for a long time would hurt her ears. She stretched her head out of the window and breathed in the fresh air.
Opposite the teahouse is a restaurant, which is also the best restaurant here. It has just opened at this time, and there are already customers eating in the private room on the second floor.
"Third brother, look at the woman opposite." There is a man in rich clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand. If Zhang Anchu sees it, he will inevitably complain in his heart, what is he doing with a folding fan on this cold day?
The man opposite him was dressed in black and brocade. Looking at the opposite window, he saw a woman. She could be described as a beautiful woman. Her head was simply decorated with red hairpins. She was very satisfied with her eyes closed and the corners of her mouth.
Lifting it gently, she seemed very satisfied now and a little more playful.
The man opened the folding fan and said covetously: "I will definitely keep such a woman in the backyard and play with it. Only I can be worthy of it, and it will save others money."
The man in black came back to his senses and realized that his old habit had happened again. He said as a reminder: "Brother, there are already dozens of people in your backyard."
"There are so many women in the backyard, but together they can't compare to her beauty." The man shook his head regretfully. After seeing such a beautiful woman, he realized that all the women in the front and backyard had mistakenly taken the fish.
As a pearl.
Only she can be called a pearl, no, a treasure, a peerless treasure.
