Chapter 247 - 119: Phoenix’s Gift
Li Zhaowen walked briskly, alone through the alleys of Chen Country, softly humming the tune of a poem that a young man had just sung, moving forward as the moonlight and starlight were gradually overtaken by the bright lights ahead.
Li Zhaowen stopped, still standing in the shadows.
She reached out to straighten her clothes and collar, her smiling face turning back to the composed demeanor of a noble from the aristocratic family, opening her folding fan, which showed a famous landscape painting on the front and four ink characters on the back, and calmly walked back to her residence.
"Mr. Yuwen is back!"
The attendants were already approaching, and Li Zhaowen tossed her folding fan to them, washed her hands in a golden basin brought forward, and after everyone had left, she went to meet her father before finally returning to her own courtyard. Changsun Wu Gou helped her remove her outer robe, and then she bathed and changed into fresh clothes.
Reading documents under the lamp, Changsun Wuchou presented some items, and Li Zhaowen looked through them.
Changsun Wu Gou asked,"What would Erlang like to drink? As usual?"
Usually, Li Zhaowen drank tea, accustomed to drinking tea at night, intending to have Jiangnan’s famous tea, the pre-rain Longjing, but now she hesitated, remembering the clear and delicious wine she had snatched from the youth, and finding herself craving it, asked,"Do we have the wine from Changfeng Building?"
Changsun Wu Gou, surprised, looked to his elder brother for guidance.
Changsun Wuchou said,"Of course, we have it; I’ll go get it."
Li Zhaowen smiled,"Thank you, Wuchou."
