Chapter 08: Gifts are exchanged
Yu Nianniang slowly went downstairs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing someone coming down, everyone who was eating looked over, Yu Nianniang was dressed in general, but the ordinary people didn't have that temperament. The big war is coming, and there are many big and small families in Suzhou, and naturally there are many girls and sons in the city. Therefore, everyone only regarded them as the masters and servants of a small family, and after a glance, they turned back in unison, and only ate their own.
The three of them left the inn and walked towards the liveliest street.
Lanterns hung high on the streets, shops of all sizes were open, inns, restaurants, dried fruit and pastry shops were lit up, and several cloth and jewelry shops were not closed. The lights instantly illuminate the whole street as bright as day, and also interpret another kind of quiet and lively bustle!
Crossing the main street, the three of them turned into another street, standing in place from the street entrance to the end of the street, different sizes, all kinds of food stalls, lined up in a straight line, guests and pedestrians between the various stalls like a shuttle, each stall has a lot of people eating, everyone has to talk and laugh, swept away the nervousness of rushing before, like a tourist with a family to play in the mountains and rivers, which is like fleeing from the states!
There are a lot of people, and the location is naturally not easy to find!
Yu Nianniang and the three of them turned around, and finally found a quiet stall on the side, and it happened that a table of guests had finished eating.
"Girl, let's sit there." Linglong looked at Yu Nianniang happily, and when she saw Yu Nianniang nodding, she immediately ran up, for fear that someone would grab the position.
Mother Sun smiled helplessly: "Look at this girl, it's hard to come here to eat......
Just grabbed the words and before he could say anything, he saw a strange girl and Linglong walking to the table at the same time.
Mother Sun couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I really need to rob it!
The two walked to the table together, and Yu Nianniang was very humble on weekdays. But Linglong thought that Yu Nianniang hadn't eaten anything all day, and she suddenly didn't want to give this son to others.
It is estimated that the girl didn't want to look for any more places, so the two stood at the table and stared wide-eyed. No one will give in.
"Linglong."
Hearing her girl's voice, Linglong suddenly pouted in frustration, no need for Yu Nianniang to say, she also knew that Yu Nianniang was going to give the table to others.
"Respecting the old and loving the young is the basic etiquette, let's find a place." Yu Nianniang, who stopped not far from the table, said.
Linglong found out that the strange girl was followed by a large group of people.
The leader was an old woman of about seventy, with white temples and shimmering spirits, and the old woman was wearing a Hangzhou silk gown with camel bottom flowers, with exquisite patterns and ingenious workmanship, and she was not an ordinary person at first glance.
A middle-aged woman in her forties standing next to the old woman stepped forward with a smile and smiled at Yu Nianniang: "My old lady is indeed a little tired today!" Thank you for your politeness, and we're welcome. ”
Yu Nianniang stretched out a hand and gently flicked it, signaling that it was casual. Then turn around and continue walking.
The middle-aged woman saw that Yu Nianniang and the three had left, turned around and smiled and helped the old woman sit down on the stool, and said, "Old lady, fortunately, this girl has a kind heart." ”
The old woman bowed her head slightly, and sighed: "It's not good to be old, it's only been a long time since I feel tired." ”
Yu Nianniang took Linglong and Mother Sun all the way to the end of the street, and did not look for a place again. Then the three of them turned back from the end of the street, and every stall was full. Yu Nianniang's expression was not impatient or impatient, as before, but the speed of walking was a little slower.
Linglong was in a hurry, her mouth was dry, her neck was stretched out, and she didn't see anyone leave after eating.
"I really don't know how the people in Suzhou City like to eat outside. After eating, another table of people came again, endlessly. ”
"Almost all of these people just entered Suzhou today." Mother Sun said.
So, basically like them, find an inn to rest for a while, and then come out to find something to eat.
The two were talking, when they suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Girl, there's a place here." It was the middle-aged woman just now.
At a table next to the old woman, someone had just finished eating and left.
"Thank you." Yu Nianniang said.
Linglong had already run over regardless of her image, waiting for Yu Nianniang to sit down, and then she and Mother Sun sat down.
When she was out of the house, Yu Nianniang had already said that she didn't have to be too restrained in etiquette.
The three bowls of noodles came soon, Linglong's eyes lit up, in fact, she was already hungry, but the girl could endure it, how could she speak, watching Yu Nianniang already pick up the noodles and eat them in small bites, Linglong picked up the chopsticks and ate them quickly.
Mother Sun held the chopsticks and hesitated in her heart, not knowing whether to thank the middle-aged woman, she looked sideways slightly, and saw that the old woman had finished eating and got up, the girl behind carefully moved the stool back, and the middle-aged woman bent down slightly and carefully helped the old woman to leave the table, walking towards the street, and whispered in a low voice. A group of girls followed behind in a regular manner.
There are words, and courtesies are exchanged. Maybe people are just returning the previous courtesy.
Without thinking about it anymore, Mother Sun held the noodles and began to eat.
Yu Nianniang eats Sven, looking slow is actually very fast. When Linglong and Mother Sun finished eating, she just put down her chopsticks.
Linglong looked at Yu Nianniang taking out a handkerchief and elegantly wiping the corners of her mouth, and the way she was eating in small gulps just now, she couldn't help but sigh: "How can a girl be so good-looking in anything?" Even though he eats so slowly, he can always finish it with his slaves. ”
provoked Yu Nianniang to look at her with disgust.
Mother Sun pointed her finger at her forehead, opened her eyes and said, "Of course the girl looks good in everything, otherwise how can she be a girl." ”
"yes." Linglong pouted: "So, a slave can only be a slave!" ”
This time, even Mother Sun was laughed at, laughing at her and pointing at her playing treasure all day long.
Linglong stuck out her tongue, put this matter behind her in a blink of an eye, took out the silver and paid the bill, Yu Nianniang got up, and Mother Sun immediately walked to the back, carefully moved the stool away from the girl just now, and then respectfully went to support Yu Nianniang's arm.
Yu Nianniang glanced at Mother Sun, smiled slightly, and let her help her, and when she walked to the table where the old woman had sat just now, her hand seemed to be unconsciously brushing on the table. Suddenly, she was dizzy for a while, and the picture in front of her flashed like a horse.
On the bustling street, a spirited, tired old woman with a tired face got on her shoulders with the help of a group of servants, and two sturdy mothers-in-law steadily carried her shoulders through several streets, and finally stopped outside a high gate and deep mansion, outside the gate of the mansion two tall and fierce stone lions grinned and showed their long forest beast teeth. The black and gold plaque on the door is flat and eye-catching.
"Girl!"
The picture was broken, Yu Nianniang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her little face, which was ruddy and fair just now, was as pale as paper at the moment, the fine sweat on her forehead was layer by layer, and the strength in her body seemed to be suddenly drained away, and her steps were vain and made her have no sense of reality, as if she could fall down at any time.
Linglong took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat on Yu Nianniang's forehead, and said worriedly: "Girl, are you okay?" ”
Yu Nianniang opened her eyes, even though this kind of thing was not once or twice, Linglong and Mother Sun still looked worried, she smiled weakly: "I'm fine, but I suddenly felt a little dizzy." ”
The mother-in-law, who had been paying attention to the stall of the three people, heard about it, and ran over kindly: "What's wrong with the girl?" Dizziness? I have brown sugar here, why don't I make a bowl of brown sugar water for you. My girl used to have dizziness, but then I boiled brown sugar water for her every day, and it was much better. This girl has to be raised while she is young, otherwise she will suffer a loss in the future......"
Seeing that her mother-in-law was talking more and more outrageous, Mother Sun coughed and interrupted her: "Thank you for this eldest sister, but this is not far from where we live, so I won't trouble you." ”
"Okay, then." The mother-in-law has a good heart, and she is not angry when she is interrupted by Mother Sun, and when she saw that Yu Nianniang had two people around her to take care of her, she responded, and instructed Yu Nianniang: "Go home or boil a bowl of brown sugar water to drink!" ”
Yu Nianniang smiled at her mother-in-law, and was helped back to the inn by Mother Sun and Linglong.
