Chapter 155: Seeking Wealth and Danger (1)
When the orange glow of the setting sun shines all over Kyoto, the streets are the most crowded. The shopkeepers are busy packing up their wares, passers-by are busy going home, and vendors are seizing the last good moment of the day to sell their small items. However, in some neighborhoods, the flower buildings happily lit the delicate lanterns hanging under the eaves and opened the carved doors...
As soon as Murong Huaide turned into the alley of the courtyard, he saw two little servants waving big brooms vigorously, eager to scrape off a layer of skin from the bluestone slab in front of his house. Confused, he walked up to him and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The two little guys were both thirteen or fourteen years old, and when they heard the voice, they hurriedly saluted and said hello, and only scratched the back of their heads at the end and responded, "If you go back to Gongzi, we... I'm working hard to clean the front of our house. ”
Murong Huaide glanced at the almost remarkable stone steps, and said with a smile, "Who said that you didn't do a good job before?" ”
The two little guys shook their heads vigorously and hurriedly said, "No, it's just that the inner courtyard is stewing meat, and Sister Yiba said that there is still our share, so we want to do more work." ”
"yes, yes. Childe, it's the meat stewed by the lady herself. My grandfather always said that he had eaten the porridge served by his son, and this time I was able to eat the meat stewed by his wife. ”
The two little girls laughed as they spoke, and at the end they stretched their necks and sniffed vigorously in the yard, and then looked intoxicated.
Murong Huaide couldn't help but raise his nose to carefully distinguish the faint meaty aroma brought by the north wind, and then followed the aroma guide all the way to the small kitchen in the main courtyard. Dong Rong was sitting under the laurel tree drinking tea while listening to Wen Niang talk about the luggage and manpower she had brought with her, while Yiba and Zizhu were smiling and holding oily and delicious braised pork from the cauldron.
Dong Rong occasionally looked up to see her husband come back, so she smiled and waved her hand to signal Wen Niang to get busy, and then got up and said, "If you come back later, the braised pork may be divided." ”
Murong Huaide pretended to be annoyed and helped her arm, and responded, "Didn't you say that it was only for me to eat, how did it become everyone's share?" ”
Dong Rong took advantage of the situation to hug his arm and coaxed, "I wronged you once today, and I will make up for it later, okay?" My children and I will count on Manchu to protect us in the future, how can we do it if we don't bribe everyone? If someone comes to the door, someone will have to bring the rescue for me. ”
Murong Huaide heard this, and the concubine's voice was fierce again, so he felt even more pity in his heart, stretched out his hand to take his wife Zhengse and said, "The people in this mansion are all selected by me from the homeless people I have received in Xiaoyi Garden, and most of them still have relatives left in the garden, so you don't have to doubt their loyalty, you can rest assured." This is our home, at least here you can live in peace. I'll try to figure out how to get your name in the palace as soon as possible, and then you can walk sideways throughout Kyoto. ”
"Really?" Dong Rong glared as if in disbelief, and asked, "What about that cousin who is good at making white fungus soup, if she makes trouble for me, I can also call back?" ”
Murong Huaide subconsciously straightened his back, trying his best to keep the soft flesh on his waist away from his beloved wife's little hand, he couldn't wait to pat his chest and promise, "Of course fight back, if you don't want to do it, call Yiba for help, what she is best at is the Wind Shadow Palm, and the storage is loud and crisp!" ”
"Oh, that's it, then I'm relieved." Dong Rong was smart enough to accept it when she saw it, and smiled Yingying to greet Wen Niang and Zizhu to set the table, as for Yiba, she was already holding a big bowl of braised pork and eating it with a greasy face.
The young couple, who had been separated for many days, finally had a reunion dinner quietly, and after the meal, the two went to bed early after walking in the courtyard for a while. The long-lost embrace and warmth made the two hug each other for a long time without speaking. Sometimes, as long as the mind is quiet, the whole world is not afraid of no matter how noisy it is...
I don't know if God is also rejoicing for the reunited couple, but the second day was still sunny and good. Dong Rong had a rare good night's sleep, got up refreshed and washed, and finally shouted Zizhu to help her choose a dress that was convenient for travel, and she wanted to go shopping with her husband.
Zizhu was most happy to see her master with such a smile on her face, she plunged into the wardrobe and began to check, and finally chose a goose-yellow cardigan embroidered shirt, plus a light blue pleated skirt. When the simple and beautiful fallen horse bun is tied, two beaded flowers are inserted on the left and right, and a gourd pendant is worn on the ear, and the originally dignified and refreshing lady in charge immediately becomes a soft and delicate unmarried girl.
Dong Rong Meizizi looked back and forth in front of the dressing mirror, and joked at the end, "If this belly is covered, I may be able to pretend to be an unmarried girl and go out to attract bees and butterflies." ”
Murong Huaide came in from outside and heard this, so he said, "In that case, let's not go out today." ”
Dong Rong hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to flatter, "Oh, I mean it's a joke." When you go out for a while, let Ohachi take a stick, and if there is a bee butterfly coming forward, he will immediately knock him unconscious with a stick! ”
Murong Huaide couldn't help laughing, Zizhu and Yiba giggled even more, but they were glared at by the master and hurriedly ran out to prepare the dinner table.
Soon, after breakfast, the young couple got into a black painted flat-headed carriage and turned out of the mansion and turned to the business district located in the south of the city. At this moment, the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were opened, and the young men were holding feather dusters to clean the few bits of dust on the doors and windows, while smiling and greeting the regular customers who came and went.
Dong Rong is worried about saving a dowry for her sister-in-law, even if her younger brother has passed the autumn exam, she is afraid that she will also go to the Yang family to be hired, and all kinds of jewelry and clothing must be prepared in advance. So, she walked directly to the largest cloth village in the storefront, and she didn't see her husband behind her smiling a little strangely.
Dong Rong picked out more than a dozen pieces of fabric in one go, and was about to shout to the shopkeeper to pay the bill, but Yiba smiled and hugged the cloth and left, so shocked that Zizhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "I haven't given the silver yet, what if the shopkeeper sues you for robbery?" ”
Ohachi raised his finger and pointed to a circular mark in the upper left corner of the plaque at the door and said, "This is our own shop, and no one will stop us even if the material is emptied." ”
Dong Rong turned her head to look at her husband when she heard this, and sure enough, he was drinking tea with an old god, and the enthusiastic shopkeeper was standing next to him with a teapot and serving diligently.
Dong Rong narrowed her eyes, got up and asked, "Yiba, we have a jewelry building, take me for a walk, your son is tired, maybe you want to stay here and drink a few more cups of tea." With that, he took Zizhu's hand and walked out.
How could Murong Huaide not know that his little daughter-in-law was annoyed, so he quickly got up and chased him out, and said with a smile, "Rong Rong, not far in front of us is our family's silver building, which is quite famous in Kyoto." A few days ago, I instructed the craftsmen to make a batch of new jewelry, and I will take you to see it. ”
Dong Rong glared at him and said angrily, "If you dare to see my jokes again, I will take my son back to my hometown!" ”
"No, I was also happy to see you choose the materials, so I didn't disturb your interest."
"Well, forgive you this time."
The little couple talked and laughed like this and entered the jewelry building again, women are born like dragons and have no immunity to luminous objects, facing the jewelry brought up by the big plate, Dong Rong still barely held the shelf of the main mother, Zizhu and Yiba pounced on it with bright eyes. This one shouted that the gemstone hairpin lined the master's face, and the other retorted that it was still a jade bracelet to raise people, and the master should prepare two pairs. Dong Rong was so annoyed by their quarrel that she simply sent a message to reward each of them with a hairpin.
The two girls cheered and ran to the side and shouted to the guy to take a hairpin for them to choose, Dong Rong finally got clean, and played with various jewelry while talking to her husband.
The old shopkeeper saw that his owner was obedient to the woman next to him, and occasionally brought tea to persuade her to take a sip, and took care of her very carefully. If he still can't guess that this woman is the future mistress, then his eyes can be plucked out and stepped on as bubbles. Three or four young men in the store were scurrying inside and outside by his envoys, and for a while they bought the beef tongue cake from Tianxianglou and gave it to them, and then they replaced it with ginseng tea that was the most nourishing and refreshing, and then closed half of the door panel to refuse customers, for fear that outsiders would disturb the master's interest.
Dong Rong picked out four sets of jewelry while eating and drinking, and when she got up satisfied, she found that the store was very quiet, so she guessed the shopkeeper's kindness, and said to her husband, "It's hard for this shopkeeper to delay business for half a day." ”
Murong Huaide nodded, and said lightly to the old shopkeeper, "Add two hundred points at the end of the year." ”
Dong Rong didn't know what to say about this score, but seeing that the old shopkeeper was so happy that she thanked him one after another, she didn't ask more. Zizhu picked a simple single-bead hairpin for herself, Yiba was a small jade comb, the two girls smiled and hugged the jewelry box and walked to their own carriage across the street, Dong Rong and his wife said a few words to the old shopkeeper, and then went out to cross the street.
A few naughty boys made a pig urine bubble out of nowhere, laughing and passing around, and playing very happily. Passers-by laughed and scolded to avoid it, and occasionally someone mixed in with a "foot", causing the children to make a lot of noise.
Murong Huaide was afraid that the children would accidentally touch his beloved wife, and was about to step forward and signal them to stop for a moment. No, at this moment, a carriage coming from the end of the street suddenly accelerated and ran wildly for some reason. Passers-by shouted in surprise and dodged, but only two children who bent down to pick up pig urine bubbles stood stupidly in fright, not knowing what to do. Dong Rong was so anxious that she pushed Murong Huaide and shouted, "Save them!" ”
Murong Huaide hurriedly glanced at his wife's position, and saw that she was standing far away from the street, presumably there would be no danger, so he jumped to the center of the street, and quickly grabbed the two children with his arms and jumped across the street.
Everyone watching from afar breathed a long sigh of relief, although they were not their own children, but no one was willing to let them be hit by the carriage. However, when the carriage ran closer, it unexpectedly changed direction and slammed into Dong Rong.
Dong Rong's face turned white in an instant, and she subconsciously hugged her stomach. Ohachi screamed and threw the box in his hand, and was about to run over, but the street was three zhang wide, which could be crossed in an instant?
Murong Huaide screamed when he heard it, and his heart was cold for no reason, and he subconsciously turned around...
