She originally thought that the greeting was just a formality, but the eldest lady of the Chen family seemed to be trying to keep her talking.
It's impossible that the eldest lady of the Chen family didn't know that she was here for Chen Jinghuai today, but she kept asking her to talk about irrelevant things, but never mentioned Chen Jinghuai.
It seems like there is something else going on.
After chatting for a while, she couldn't help but wink at Chen Hongnian during the chat.
Who would have thought that Chen Changnian, who had always had a good rapport with her in the past, would actually be entangled by Zhao Lang, a sweet-tongued brat.
"Sister, have you been to Kangpingfang? It's so lively there! On weekdays, many rangers perform in that area, and they are all very good at it. Especially there is a Jade Sword Fairy in the West Street Tavern, tsk tsk! When she dances with the sword, she is like a rainbow piercing the sun, swallowing up mountains and rivers."
Zhao Lang has a lively nature, and he dances happily when talking about eating, drinking, and having fun. Coupled with his good looks, he is also very attractive.
And Chen Yannian is obviously also interested in this matter.
I forgot about the cooperation with Jiang Nianjiao at the beginning.
"Fairy Jade Sword has come to Beijing? Where is Kangpingfang? And tell me the name of the tavern you mentioned? I'll go and have a look some other time." Chen Changnian asked enthusiastically.
"Good sister, why don't I take you there directly today? This Jade Sword Fairy came to Beijing to find her relatives. She doesn't often perform. I'm afraid that after she finds her relatives, she will go back to Huaitai Mountain City. And today there is a notice for her performance in the tavern." Zhao Lang said half coquettishly and half coaxingly.
Chen Changnian was obviously moved when he heard this.
Jiang Nianjiao coughed a few times but did not get Chen Hongnian's attention back.
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao no longer counted on Chen Changnian. She directly said to Mrs. Chen, "Mrs. Chen, how is Mr. Jinghuai doing now? Can I go and see him now?"
Mrs. Chen seemed not to have expected that Jiang Nianjiao would directly ask about the matter, and it seemed that she had not yet thought of a reason to refuse.
She looked a little flustered for a moment and coughed a few times. Then, as if to cover up her panic, she just stretched her hand to the blue and white porcelain tea cup beside her.
Her discomfort was naturally reflected in Jiang Nianjiao's eyes, and she felt more and more that Mrs. Chen seemed to be hiding something from her.
And I'm afraid this matter is also related to Chen Jinghuai.
So Jiang Nianjiao continued to ask, "Madam, is there any inconvenience?"
Mrs. Chen who was at the head did not speak, but Zhao Yanzhen on the side spoke for her.
"It's really inconvenient. It's really unlucky for the girl to come here today. My cousin hasn't woken up yet, so I specially invited another famous doctor to treat my cousin. At the moment, that doctor is still doing examinations. I don't like to be disturbed." Zhao Yanzhen's voice was like the collision of jade stones, and there was no ripple on Guangfeng Jiyue's face.
He was obviously very good at dealing with such emergencies. Jiang Nianjiao was choked by his words. Unfortunately, his behavior at the moment was more like he didn't have three hundred taels of silver here.
The calmer he became, the more Jiang Nianjiao suspected that he was also an insider.
Thinking of the relationship between Chen Jinghuai and Zhao Yanzhen in his previous life, Jiang Nianjiao even began to suspect that Zhao Yanzhen had instigated the fact that her uncle was trapped in Guanyuan Town.
Therefore, Jiang Nianjiao was completely at odds with Zhao Yanzhen.
After hearing this, other ladies in the capital would probably say that they would come back another day.
However, Jiang Nianjiao smiled brightly, "It's okay, I can wait."
It's a pity that although her attitude was resolute, her good teammate Chen Yannian obviously started to hold back under the temptation of Zhao Lang.
"Gillian, shall we go to Kangpingfang together today? Did Xiaojiu say that Kangpingfang can meet the Jade Sword Fairy by chance? That is my childhood idol." Chen Hongnian said excitedly.
Although Jiang Nianjiao grew up in Beijing, she had never been to Kangpingfang. However, her wet nurse had warned her since she was a child that the Kangpingfang area was very chaotic and there were often roosters, dogs, and robbers. Therefore, she obviously lacked interest in Kangpingfang.
She very rationally rejected Chen Changnian's invitation.
"Let's forget it for today, I want to see your brother."
"When will my brother stop watching? Gillian, please come with me." I don't know when Chen Hongnian fell in with Zhao Lang, and in order to let him go, Chen Hongnian actually started to molest her. stand up.
I really don't know what kind of drug Zhao Lang gave Chen Changnian.
On the other hand, Mrs. Chen and Zhao Yanzhen in the hall had the same view as her. Mrs. Chen said worriedly, "Ah Qiang, where can a girl go to that kind of place?"
Chen Changnian was obviously very impatient with Mrs. Chen's opinion, "Why can't girls go? The Jade Sword Fairy used to travel alone to the ends of the world with a sword!"
"Cousin, the Kangpingfang area is extremely chaotic, and there are people from all three religions and nine schools. Mrs. Chen is also doing it for your own good." Zhao Yanzhen also gave words of advice.
Chen Yannian obviously didn't take this kind of advice seriously. After all, she always felt that she was invincible.
However, Jiang Nianjiao also became interested. The sources of information from the Three Religions and Nine Streams are the most vivid.
It is definitely impossible for these two people to let themselves see Chen Jinghuai now.
And without Chen Yannian's help, he would naturally not be able to force his way into Chen Jinghuai's residence.
Instead, it was Zhao Yanzhen sitting in the hall who caught Jiang Nianjiao's attention.
Thinking of Zhao Yanzhen's secrets that only he knew, maybe Zhao Yanzhen was the initiator of his uncle's disappearance.
So when everyone was trying to persuade Chen Yannian, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly changed her tone, "I think it's actually good to go to Kangpingfang today."
As soon as she said this, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
The happiest person was Chen Hongnian. After hearing Jiang Nianjiao's words, Chen Hongnian immediately hugged Jiang Nianjiao's neck happily and said, "Gillian, I knew you were the only one with the same heart as me."
The addition of Jiang Nianjiao turned the situation that was originally unfavorable to Chen Hongnian into Chen Hongnian's favor.
In the end, Chen Changnian could not be defeated, and Mrs. Chen could only end up compromising.
Zhao Yanzhen also seemed quite helpless and said, "In this case, I can only accompany them for a while. Madam, don't worry, Yanzhen will protect the safety of the two ladies."
Although Mrs. Chen still disapproved of Chen Changnian going to Kangpingfang to watch the excitement, she could only let them go at this time.
Kangpingfang is not as clean and tidy as Jinyu Street where nobles often visit. Even the streets are much narrower. There are shops with white walls and black tiles on both sides of the road.
Outside the shops, there were many simple stalls selling everything. The crowds were bustling and crowded.
Outside the open space at the intersection is surrounded by people from three floors inside and three outside. As the cheers burst out from the crowd, the sound of gongs and drums can also be heard. That is where the Jianghu Rangers perform. .
Chen Changnian had a natural affinity for this kind of place. When she saw the entertainers, she couldn't wait to drag everyone else to join in the fun.
However, Jiang Nianjiao was very uncomfortable with this. The feeling of crowding with no distance between people, and the sour smell mixed with various smells made her regret coming to Kangpingfang today.
When the crowd was crowded, Jiang Nianjiao's little face began to turn pale after being approached several times without warning.
This situation was relieved after Zhao Yanzhen found out. He deliberately protected Jiang Nianjiao and made the two of them look a little closer, so those people stopped approaching.
And Jiang Nianjiao finally smelled a hint of elegant sweet fragrance in the sour smell and crowding. Zhao Yanzhen's approach was like a fish that was about to be exposed to death encountering living water.
Fortunately, although Chen Hongnian eagerly wanted to squeeze into the crowd, Zhao Lang, who encouraged her to come to Kangpingfang, did not approve of Chen Hongnian's behavior.
He grabbed Chen Yannian and said, "Good sister, why do we have to squeeze into that crowd? If we want to watch the performance, I have a better place to go. Besides, didn't we come to Kangpingfang today just to see the Jade Sword Fairy?"
With Zhao Lang's coaxing, Chen Changnian did not get into the crowd.
Zhao Lang just led the crowd through the crowd, and then stopped at a two-story wine shop on West Street.
The plaque on the tavern said there was a tavern. The first floor of the tavern was full of people, and the Qiang Desert Beauty was holding various kinds of wine to persuade guests to try.
There is a large stage right in front of the hall, and a group of exotic Qiang Desert beauties are twisting their wicker-like waists on the stage.
Zhao Lang walked to the tavern very familiarly. It could be seen that Zhao Lang was a frequent customer of this tavern. These Qiang Desert beauties who shuttled among the diners seemed to know Zhao Lang.
Almost as soon as Zhao Lang stepped in, they greeted Zhao Lang eagerly, "A Lang, you haven't been here for a while. What's wrong? Could it be that your father doesn't let you leave the house?"
"I went on a business trip with my father in the past few days, and I just came back recently. Did Sister Anshan miss me?" Zhao Langze lied with a smile.
Fortunately, the group of them had changed their clothes before coming here, so although their clothes were gorgeous, they were not the colors commonly worn by dignitaries.
In addition, there are many people from certain Qiangmo tribes who come to Yongdi to do business, so no one doubts the authenticity of Zhao Lang's words.
It was obvious that Zhao Lang was at ease in a place like this. He could almost call out the name of every Qiang Desert beauty who greeted him.
After a few simple jokes, a Qiang Desert beauty with a slim waist even took the initiative to lead them up to the second floor.
In a small private room in the east wing on the second floor, the beauty only smiled and said, "Although I don't know when A Lang will come, my sister is still thinking of A Lang, so this east wing is specially reserved for A Lang."
"Sister Qi Ya, you really love Ah Lang the most." Zhao Lang did not hesitate in his sweet words.
After simply ordering their meals, everyone had time to take stock of the environment in the east wing.
I have to admit that the beauty who led Zhao Lang here did leave a good place for Zhao Lang.
The corridor outside faces the performance stage, and the window inside the box faces the crossroads for performing arts. Almost anywhere, this is an excellent viewing platform.
After getting out of the crowded crowd, Jiang Nianjiao felt a different kind of atmosphere from the ordinary fireworks in the world.
Chen Changnian's mood was particularly high, but she was obviously more interested in the busking at the crossroads than watching the Qiangbeau beauties dancing in the tavern.
When she saw someone performing a chest-breaking performance, she even exclaimed, "This person is so awesome! I want to worship him as my teacher!"
Listening to Chen Changnian's words, Zhao Lang also joked, "Why do you want to learn this, sister? Maybe you want to become an iron lady."
Chen Yannian only said, "I want you to take care of it."
