030: North 2
When the group of people looked at each other, a woman ran over and shouted at Erdan.
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then pulled his feet and ran back. Fusang and the others also followed Erdan and ran all the way back.
There were layers of people in front of Erdan's house, and Jiuniang looked at it and felt a little weak. When he was beaten half to death by Meng Daniu and them, there were groups of people in front of his house.
Fusang glanced at Jiu Niang, cautiously approached her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"You say...... If something happens to that mother-in-law......" Jiu Niang didn't notice it herself, and her voice trembled slightly.
Fusang silently held Jiu Niang's hand and smiled at Jiu Niang soothingly.
Erdan pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, Gu Huacheng and the others also squeezed in together, and they were all stunned as soon as they entered.
Jiuniang rubbed her eyes in disbelief and pinched Fusang beside her: "I'm not mistaken, right?" ”
"You don't have to pinch me even if you're wrong." Fuso frowned.
In the courtyard, a group of people in brocade clothes sat on the low stool with missing legs that had lost paint and was missing legs, and the yard was full. In addition to people, there are also several boxes in the courtyard, but the people who come are not unkind.
When Erdan entered the door, someone suddenly pounced on Erdan and hugged Erdan and began to cry, and those who didn't know thought it was a long-lost child.
Jiuniang looked around, but didn't see the lame old lady, she couldn't help frowning, tugged at Fusang's sleeve and asked, "Senior brother, do you think it's strange?" ”
"Anyone who isn't stupid can see that it's strange." Fusang glanced at Jiu Niang, but winked at Jiu Niang again, "Do you think these people are here to rob?" ”
"Senior brother, did you forget to bring it out when your brain fell on Yecheng?" Jiuniang went back in vain without hesitation.
"What are you two muttering!" Gu Huacheng frowned and glared at the two of them.
Jiuniang and Fusang immediately covered their mouths, and one by one they were silent.
But although these two people were silent, the villagers were still chattering and talking, saying everything. Is there a second egg who is not someone's illegitimate child, is there any big treasure in their family, and what is not offended someone......
It wasn't until the lame old lady came out of the back room that her voice became a little quieter, but after the lame old lady stood still in the courtyard, all those who had been sitting suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully to the old lady.
There was a "buzz" in the crowd, and there was chaos again.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Erdan broke out of the arms of the man who was crying in his arms, ran to the old lady, and looked at the people in the yard with a frown.
"Erdan, haven't you been chattering all the time, wanting to go to the imperial capital?" The old lady smiled, and seemed to have a feeling of receding the haze and seeing the sunny day again.
Erdan nodded, but he still looked puzzled.
"These people are here to pick us up and go to Yecheng."
"Who are these people? Weishenme is coming to pick us up? "Erdan doesn't want to give up without asking.
The old lady sighed and looked at the one who was crying before: "Steward Li, come on." ”
"Yes, old lady." The man wiped his face, saluted respectfully again, and then said to Erdan, "Little master, we have finally found you." ”
That housekeeper Li said a lot of snot and tears, but it is just the so-called rich family grievances and hatreds, this lame old woman was originally the wife of a big family in Yecheng, and she was forced to leave the imperial capital back then, and she has been gone for more than 20 years, and now her son is gone, and there is only one grandson left by her side, but she was found back. In the end, the reason is that the remaining sons of the family cannot be born.
Jiuniang tugged at Fusang's sleeve and frowned: "I really can't imagine that this family is so messy." ”
"Maybe the second egg grandma is lame, and she was killed in the battle of the wealthy family back then." Fuso also frowned.
The two of them were muttering here and talking energetically, but the second egg stood silently in front of the two of them.
Jiuniang was still gossiping with Fusang, and Fusang pinched Jiuniang.
"What are you doing!" Jiuniang cat seemed to scratch Fusang.
Fusang looked at Jiu Niang hard, but Jiu Niang still didn't notice anything, until Erdan spoke, Jiu Niang shivered, and ran behind Fusang like a conditioned reflex.
However, Erdan didn't pay attention to Fusang and Jiuniang at all, and people have been staring at Gu Huacheng from the beginning.
"Mr. Gu."
"Huh?" Gu Huacheng was still the same as before, his face was calm and waveless, looking at the second egg standing with his hands in his hands.
"Can I talk to Mr.?" Erdan blinked, and tears were in his eyes, as if a string of crystals would fall when he touched it.
Fusang glanced at him angrily: "Haven't you been talking to my master?" ”
Gu Huacheng stretched out his hand to stop Fusang and nodded at Erdan: "Do you want to talk to me alone?" ”
Erdan nodded.
Gu Huacheng turned around and asked Fusang and Jiuniang to buy some rice, sorghum, and high-quality wheat, and then go and bring back a few jars of wine. Fusang was awkward for a while, but still dragged Jiuniang away.
Jiuniang asked Fusang: "What is Master asking us to do when we buy these things?" ”
"Winemaking." Fusang patted Jiuniang's head and said with a smile, "Eighty percent of our family buys these things to make wine, and now the master is about to send some wine to the second egg, so the wine we have along the way is probably not enough, so the master has to brew some more." ”
"We're walking on the road, how do we brew?"
"Silly!" Fusang shook his head helplessly, "Let's go this way, the dark grid is not ventilated and will be damp, is the best way to make these wheat moldy, when we find a place to settle down, we can make koji, and only after making koji can we make wine, during this time, maybe the master will find the spring water on the haode and the like, and can make new wine." ”
"Just like you were in Xiahe Village?" Jiuniang asked rhetorically.
Fusang nodded, took Jiuniang to the rice grain store and bought a bag of rice and a bag of wheat, carried them all on his shoulders, and began to walk back.
Jiuniang followed behind Fusang and shouted, "I'll help you carry a bag...... Brother, I'll help you. ”
"Shut up, so haode go your way." Fusang yelled at her viciously, "Come back, come back, where are you going?" ”
"Didn't you go to the Master?" Jiuniang was puzzled.
"Your senior brother and I are carrying so many things, you let me squeeze in the inner and outer three floors to watch the master and that little boy grinding and chirping! Hurry up, go to our carriage, and carry the wine. Fusang pouted at Jiu Niang.
"Oh." Jiu Niang nodded obediently, and helped him slightly stretch the grain bag behind Fusang.
When he arrived at the carriage, Fusang took out some broken silver from his bosom and gave it to the caretaker of the post station, stuffed the grain into the dark compartment, and took out two jars of wine and handed them to Jiuniang. Jiuniang covered her nose and took a step back, refusing to continue.
Fusang was helpless: "If you don't continue, how can I move alone." ”
"Aren't we staying at my lame mother-in-law's house?" Jiuniang didn't answer Fusang's words, but asked.
Fusang nodded, "Your brain is in Yecheng, their family is like that, how can we continue to live, of course we continue to go on the road, besides, let's stay in Songsha County just to celebrate your birthday." ”
Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, and there was a sour feeling in her heart, which suddenly surged up.
Fusang waited for a while, didn't wait for Jiuniang to speak, put down the wine jar, and stepped forward to pat her: "What do you think?" ”
"No, nothing." Jiu Niang grinned embarrassedly and glanced at the carriage, "Anyway, we won't stay here anymore, just drive the carriage back." ”
Fusang pondered for a while, it was also such a reason, he went to the steward to settle the account, and beckoned to Jiu Niang: "Do you dare to take the carriage that your senior brother and I drove?" ”
"Of course you dare!" Jiuniang raised her head, climbed into the carriage with her hands and feet, and sat next to Fusang with a strange smile.
The two men drove the carriage and said this, and returned to the door of the lame mother-in-law's house smoothly, but in a few moments the people gathered in front of their house were all dispersed.
"People here don't like to watch the excitement so much?" Jiuniang smacked her tongue, "You couldn't get rid of those people in our village at the beginning." ”
"It's probably because the people here are kinder." Fusang touched his chin with a sincere expression.
"Phew!" Jiuniang glanced at Fusang, and heard Gu Huacheng's voice in the courtyard.
Hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to the yard, where he saw Erdan holding Gu Huacheng's legs, crying with a handful of snot and tears.
"Master." Jiuniang twitched the corner of her mouth and shouted.
Gu Huacheng glanced back at Jiu Niang and frowned: "What about Fusang?" ”
"Senior brother is behind."
"Master, are you looking for me?" Fusang carried a jar of wine into the courtyard, and when he saw Erdan's appearance, he immediately stuffed it into Jiu Niang's arms, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Erdan, stretched out his hand and pulled him away, "There is something wrong with you, why are you holding my master, are you a man, why are you so unproductive." ”
Jiu Niang coldly stuffed a wine jar in her arms, so close to the tip of her nose, even if she covered it with mud, she couldn't stop the smell. Jiuniang tilted her head desperately, looked at Fusang, and squeezed out a sentence from her throat: "Senior brother, hurry up." ”
"You're blind, can I be fast with your senior brother? If you have the ability, you let this thing go quickly, hugging our master and rolling his eyes at us, what kind of thing! Fusang frowned and glared at Jiu Niang.
Jiuniang swayed and hugged the wine jar, came to the three of them, closed her eyes and shouted: "I said, you should pay attention, I can't hold it." ”
"Senior sister, wait a while!" Fuso stretched out his hand and shouted.
A jar of wine in Jiu Niang's arms just fell on top of Erdan's head, and Fusang caught it steadily.
Erdan also seemed to be stunned, raised his head for a while, wiped the cold sweat that frightened his face, and swallowed his saliva.
"See? Being my apprentice is too risky. Gu Huacheng raised his feet, moved, grabbed Jiuniang with one hand and Fusang with the other, and smiled proudly.
"Eh, Erdan, what about those people in your family?"
