Chapter 84: A Glimpse
Hearing the crisp sound of children selling magnolia flowers outside the car window, the merchant opened the curtain of the car and watched the small figure walk slowly in the bustling crowd, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not a joy to see a child with clear eyes when the sun is setting, and even her already a little depressed mood has been slightly relieved.
took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and put it in the palm of Xiao Tao's hand, and the merchant pouted at the childish-looking child outside the window.
"Little Peach! Go buy the flowers and let her go home early! ”
Xiao Tao looked at the ignorant child outside the car window for some reason, and reached out and knocked on the wall of the car. When she walked into the car with a bouquet full of magnolia flowers, she could still see the child standing there with a surprised smile on her face.
Handing the magnolia flower in his hand to the merchant, Xiao Tao leaned aside silently, and came out of the flower hall of the Weiguo Mansion, the girl's interest was not high, and she didn't know what was going on?
Holding the large bouquet of magnolia flowers that could barely close his hands, the merchant buried his face deep in the bouquet, feeling the refreshing fragrance slowly seeping from the end of his nose into his limbs, only to feel that the heavy chill in his heart was gradually dissipated.
Listening to the news brought back by Li Ziqian, the businessman only felt speechless, and the debate machine that traveled far away to Tibet was really a disaster!
Not to mention the mountains and rivers along the way, the group of people who were physically and mentally exhausted finally entered the territory of Tibet, but in one day's effort, they encountered a battle between the two largest forces in Tibet.
The defeated team of people rushed up in despair before they had time to see the outfit of the team in front of them in a hurry, and after killing all the people, the leader of the defeated army found that these people were wearing all Tang costumes.
The Tibetan general, who was already the general of the defeated army, panicked and made a cruel decision when he caused trouble: he ordered all the sergeants to rip off the clothes of all the accompanying regimental personnel and burn them, and all the corpses of all the people were chopped up and mixed together, piled up in one place and burned.
According to the recollection of the generals who chased the defeated army at that time, the fire burned for three days, and the smell of burning corpses that dispersed with the wind made the nearby herdsmen not want to eat meat for almost a month.
What would that look like? Merchants can hardly imagine.
Thinking of the situation when he encountered the assassination in Jiuzhi Mountain that day, Shang Shang shivered almost reflexively, and subconsciously clenched the flower on his chest.
"What's wrong? Does the girl feel cold? Xiao Tao sensitively sensed the businessman's reaction, and suddenly asked with some concern.
"It's fine!" Although his face was pale, the merchant smiled and shook his head at Xiao Tao.
Li Ziqian has only been back for two days, and the errand has just been handed over, if she hadn't come to the Weiguo Mansion today, she probably wouldn't have known the news so quickly.
I don't know when Gao Yang will know the news? If she knew that the defense machine was already dead, or even had her bones scattered, I don't know if she would collapse? Or is it something more drastic?
Thinking of Gao Yang's extreme temperament, the businessmen couldn't help but be a little worried, would what had already been destined to happen still go on the same track? No one knows.
The carriage stopped at the back door of the kitchen road, and the merchant helped Xiao Tao's hand to get out of the car, and when he entered the door, he saw the happy Mother Song staring at the little girl boiling chicken soup in the kitchen, and couldn't help but think of the fact that he should send a letter to the brother with green sleeves.
From the time she got the news from Li Ziqian to now, she has been in a trance and has forgotten about it.
"The girl is back? Did the good news come about? Mother Song looked at Shang Shang and asked with a smile.
"Some things have been delayed, and I haven't gone yet." The merchant smiled apologetically, but he couldn't hide the pale face on his face.
"Mother Song! The girl is a little uncomfortable! Otherwise, let someone else report the good news! Xiao Tao watched from the side, and couldn't help but speak out to relieve the siege for the merchants.
Mother Song listened to Xiao Tao's words, and only then did she realize that Shang Shang's face was ugly, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Girl, what's wrong? It's a little ugly! As he spoke, he reached out to probe the merchant's forehead.
"It's okay! It's just that some of the spirit is lacking, and it's not a big deal. Shang Shang let Song's mother stroke her forehead, and made sure that the temperature on her head was not high, so he smiled and said, "I'd better ride a horse and go directly to Brother Yuan's house!" The carriage was really suffocating. ”
handed the magnolia in his hand to Xiao Tao, told her to find a bottle and put it in the house, and comforted the worried Song's mother, and the merchant turned around and went to the stable.
It wasn't until she took a deep breath, whipped her horse a few times, and galloped down the twilight street that the wind blew away the boredom in her heart.
Maybe the worst is not the worst, since the death of the debater has already been known, then it is already conceivable how tragic the death will be, right?
In just a quarter of an hour, the merchant had stopped in front of Yuan Tieniu's door.
Today's Yuan Tieniu seems to be a small businessman with a successful career, the main entrance of the big courtyard is painted with oily green paint, and there is a small guy in green clothes and a small hat standing at the door, waiting to welcome guests at the main entrance in a regular manner.
Entering the main courtyard, Yuan Tieniu was still dressed in a short dress, but he was surprised when he saw the businessman, and when he learned that the girl gave birth to a big fat boy, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he said with joy.
The green-sleeved sister-in-law Huai Hua'er is a sturdy and shrewd woman, a blue cloth dress, although it is not expensive, but it is better than comfortable and wear-resistant, at this time I heard that the sister-in-law gave birth to a son, her first reaction was to fold her palms and chant Buddha.
After reciting the Buddha's horn three times, he turned around and happily ordered the little girl who followed him to go to the treasury to check the ceremony, planning to visit the green sleeves the next day.
Seeing that Yuan Tieniu's family was happily busy, the merchant said goodbye with a smile, she had something on her mind and didn't want to stay here for a long time.
As night fell, the night breeze with water vapor by the Wei River gradually blew into the streets and alleys of Chang'an, with moist water vapor, moistening the Tang capital by the Wei River.
A group of city soldiers on night patrol walked past the merchants with swords and halberds, and none of the young people with strict military discipline turned their heads to stare at the merchants, and walked forward on their own.
There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and if it weren't for the lights and songs of Flower Street, this ancient and prosperous capital city would almost have gone to sleep.
Turning the street in front of you, to the left is the kitchen road, and to the right is the prince's garden.
The merchant sat down and hesitated.
At this time, she really wanted to find Li Mo, there were some things besides him, she really didn't know who to talk to. Told her brothers that she was afraid that they would be worried, and told Green Sleeves that she didn't understand. Thinking about it, except for Li Mo, she really couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Just as the merchant turned his horse's head and wanted to turn to Li Mo's other garden, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the street.
The merchant couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the sound of hooves. Even if she didn't know much about horses, she could hear the crisp and unmistakable sound of hooves, and knew that it must be a good horse that was very much loved by her master, and she could tell it by listening only to the swift and rhythmic sound of the hooves hitting the brick floor.
A figure on a horse flashed across the street, leaving only an afterimage in the merchant's eyes.
White? The merchant couldn't help but frown.
No matter how fast the figure flashed, the white clothes that were very conspicuous in the night still made the merchants see it really. Looking at the direction in which the horse went, the merchant couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
Lifting the reins slightly, she was about to catch up with her horse to see what was going on, but when she thought about it, she laughed again. The figure flashed very fast, and if I followed it at this time, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up for a long time, so it was better to continue my journey.
Turning the horse's head, the merchant waved his whip, and the horse, which had followed her for a long time, galloped swiftly in the direction of the garden.
The study in the annex was brightly lit, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who had brought a letter to Li Mo, had not yet returned to the house, and was sitting in the study chatting with Li Mo without saying a word.
He has lived in Jiuzhi Mountain with Shangshang for three years, and I have to say that Li Mo has been influenced by Shangshang a lot, and now he treats the eldest grandson Wuji as bluntly as he did at the beginning, and sitting together drinking tea and chatting like this is no longer a thing that makes him uncomfortable.
"The date has been set, you should be relieved now, right?" The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes and looked at his unrecognizable nephew with a smile.
"Why didn't you pick an April day?" Li Mo was a little reluctant, although the date was set in May was already excellent, but he was still a little unwilling.
"You boy! What a discontent! April? How do you ask the Su family to prepare the dowry? The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Mo angrily.
Knowing that he wants to marry a merchant! But there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?
"Shall I not marry her without a dowry? Even if her two brothers don't marry a penny, I will marry correctly! Li Mo muttered in a low voice, his eyes gloomy.
"The Su family will not not accompany the dowry! I think the two brothers of the business girl take her seriously! The eldest grandson Wuji put the tea cup on the table, and suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Yesterday I went to ask for a date, and it happened that the daughter-in-law of the second child of the Su family gave birth to a child, and I saw that people didn't have the heart to entertain me, so I hurried back, and now I'm afraid it's born, you should prepare something to take a look!" ”
"Really?" Li Mo looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with some surprise.
Calculate the days, it should be these days, this is the first child of the Su family, presumably the businessman is also very happy, he should indeed go and see.
Li Mo was thinking about what to give to Su Minzhi's child, but suddenly heard someone in the corridor.
After a while, I saw a merchant with a tired face pushing the door in.
"Merchant? Why did you come here so late? Li Mo looked at the merchant who pushed the door in surprise and joy, but frowned slightly when he saw her face clearly.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Shang Shang's face silently on the side, although he was slightly aware of it in his heart, he didn't make a sound.
"The eldest grandson is also there?!" Shang Shang raised his eyebrows slightly, although he was a little tired, he still stepped forward to greet the eldest grandson Wuji.
"What's wrong?" Li Mo stepped forward to help Shang Shang's arm and led her to sit down on the soft couch in front of the table.
"It's fine, just a little tired." The merchant smiled lightly.
Because the eldest grandson Wuji is there, Shang Shangluo felt a little uncomfortable, and he swallowed back the words that were originally going to be exported, only to say that he was tired (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
