Chapter 4 ◎ The beginning of Anping
Anping, the capital of Huaxiang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info said that it is the capital, compared to Yunyang, there is no difference, but the streets are more lively, there are more people, it is noon, the hawkers are endless, the tea stall is also set up a table, the storyteller a fan, a table, is a play.
The carriage stopped again, and as soon as Chu Yurui looked up, she saw a few big words on the signboard not far away: Food and Food
"I heard that Shixiangzhai is famous for pastries in Anping, not to mention all kinds of pastries, and the price is also cheap. The third sister's favorite peach blossom cake is also here, why don't I buy some back? Chu Yuzhen asked with a smile, but Chu Yurui didn't seem to be very interested in the peach blossom cake, but was attracted by the storyteller.
"If you listen to the book here, third sister, I will come with the rosary." Chu Yuzhen gave a look, and the rosary understood what it meant.
Chu Yurui looked at the backs of the two of them and was silent.
Peach Blossom Cake......
Originally, her body was better, but after eating the peach blossom cake, she felt nauseous, and with Chu Yurui's thoughts, it was easy to think in the worst direction. Chu Yurui looked around and saw a few pharmacies, but after thinking about it, time was pressing, now go to check if there is a problem with the peach blossom cake, what if Chu Yuzhen finds out, so she didn't act rashly.
The storyteller opened a fan and began to speak with a snap -
"Anyway...... Before March, the plague spread everywhere in Yunyang, and overnight, the people were struggling to make a living...... "The storyteller's words pulled Chu Yurui's thoughts back.
Pestilence? Only then did Chu Yurui remember that there was indeed a plague in Yunyang three months ago.
It may be that the memory in her mind was deliberately erased, but if someone mentions it, she can still recall things related to the past.
"If you look closely at the sick people, they all have yellow faces and thin muscles, and their bodies have dark spots. The doctors in the city were helpless and did not know how to heal them. The story seems to have reached a dead end at this point, and the storyteller changed his tone and said, "But one day, a mysterious figure came to Yunyang. ”
"Mystery people?" The audience below turned their heads and ears curiously, and the storyteller cleared his throat and continued: "This mysterious person is a woman. Description of the person who saw it - the white clothes are better than the snow, covered with white gauze, describing the ethereal, and the eyes are like autumn waves. Apply medicine to the people, like a god. Because she was followed by a fox, she called the fox fairy. ”
"The goddess descends to earth?"
"Can a woman be a doctor? It's amazing! ”
"Yunyang? Isn't Yunyang's Chu lady going to Beijing in the near future? ”
"It's not made up, how can there be any immortals in this world!"
……
The audience had already started chattering and discussing.
"Smack-" The storyteller put away the fan, "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown!" ”
was on the rise, but the audience did not follow, insisting that he finish the next story.
"If you don't know what's going on, why bother with it!" A little girl in the crowd in the prime of her cardamom years shouted loudly, which attracted many people to echo her. Then she followed the storyteller's example and said, "This woman really saved Li Min from fire and water, and used the young leaves of Yangchun Yinhao as medicine to cure the plague......"
"Hey! You little girl, listen to books, listen to books! It's up to the little old man to grab business! The storyteller was annoyed and chased after him, but the little girl ran away.
After the story was told, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Chu Yuzhen and the rosary were still missing at the door of the food and goods restaurant.
At this hour, why haven't Chu Yuzhen and the rosary come out yet? Looking at the food and goods, Chu Yurui walked forward.
In the food and goods room, in a certain room, the man turned his back to the shopkeeper and faced out of the window.
"Master, last month's accounts have been sorted out, when will they be sent to the mansion?" The shopkeeper asked.
Obviously, this man is the real owner of the food and goods house.
"There is no urgency in this matter, and I can also trust the shopkeeper's ability to do things. Just after Chinese New Year's Eve, the antique shop is very busy, and soon it will be Shangyuan, I am afraid that it will be busy for a while, and the accounts can be sent later, remember, don't teach others to find out. The man spoke, and his voice was warm, and he wanted to know what he was like.
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded. "That'...... On the side of the Ten Emperor Uncles, how does the master deal with it? ”
The corners of the man's mouth curved an arc, turned around, a gust of wind blew, and the moon-white hairband fluttered with the three thousand green silks, and the raw ones were really red lips and white teeth, not as weak as the crown. He wore a white shirt with delicate embroidery on it, a family order tied around his waist, and no accessories other than a fan.
A smile is just like a peach blossom, better than a spring breeze.
"After the wax sacrifice is the Holy Day, Uncle Ten Emperors, the idle prince, I am afraid that I will be busy for a long time to find the emperor's relatives and relatives to collect taxes, where will I have time to collect taxes." The man pushed open the door and prepared to leave, but when he was about to go downstairs, he heard two people whispering in the room.
"Second lady, but His Royal Highness hopes that the third lady can enter Beijing safely, if we change our plans now, wouldn't it be ......?"
"I have my own reasons, and when the time comes, I will explain to His Highness, and he will understand that everything I do is for his good."
The man turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Find out who the guests in this room are." ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper made a gesture, went downstairs with the man, walked to the lobby, and happened to meet Chu Yurui who came to find Chu Yuzhen and the prayer beads.
The two looked at each other, Bai Qishu nodded in a friendly way, and he still wore his signature smile, like a cunning fox.
Chu Yurui was stunned when she saw this smile, and for a moment, she thought he was back again.
"What does the lady eat?" Xiao Er opened her mouth to interrupt her thoughts, and then look, where else is there anyone, how good it would be if he was still alive, but it is impossible.
"I ...... I'm looking for my sister. Chu Yurui came back to her senses, and her words were also stumbling.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yuzhen and the rosary went downstairs, and when they saw Chu Yurui, the surprise in Chu Yuzhen's eyes was fleeting, and said, "Third sister, I talked to the shopkeeper about something, so I came out late, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yurui still didn't say much, and Chu Yuzhen didn't care too much about it.
Five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, mixed peanut trees, a group of warblers flying around. Although it is still in the end of the moon, the cage Qing Garden is full of vitality, if it weren't for the fact that the snow on the ground has not yet melted, Chu Yurui really thinks that spring has arrived.
Within one day, Gonggong Lin led Chu Yurui and his party to visit the courtyard, and for a while he introduced what pavilion was here, and for a while said what kind of building it was, Chu Yurui and his party shuttled through the pavilions and pavilions, dizzy.
"There's Father-in-law Laurin." The sky was getting dark, and the garden was almost finished, Chu Yuzhen said a kind word, "Gonggong Lin may be tired, I have prepared tea, it is Father-in-law's favorite Lu'an melon slices." ”
"Then the slave and maid thank the second lady."
Along the way, Chu Yurui still didn't say a word, only secretly thinking about the few residences introduced by Gonggong Lin......
This place is called the Nine Doubts, the courtyard is surrounded by pink walls, the green willows hang low, and you can see the two willows on both sides as soon as you enter the door. As soon as this summer arrives, the surrounding flowers are blooming, through the corridor, the trees are verdant, a clear stream from the depths of the flowers and trees zigzags under the stone stream, through the window in the house, you can just see the gazebo on the opposite side, but it is a pity that the road is twisted and turned, it takes a long time, and it can be a summer summer retreat. ”
"Third sister?" Chu Yuzhen saw that she was in a daze on the way back, and called her, "Do you want to live anywhere?" ”
"I've been feeling unwell lately, and my second sister knows it, so I have to find a secluded place to raise it."
Chu Yurui wanted to live in the Nine Doubts Residence, but Chu Yuzhen was thinking about it. Chu Yurui knew that if Chu Yuzhen was smarter, she would not put her enemies in the farthest place from herself, but Chu Yuzhen wavered, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, so she finally said: "Then live in the Nine Doubts Residence, although it is far away, find a few more girls to serve." ”
Send a maid to spy on her? Chu Yurui's face did not change, "There is Second Sister Lao." ”
Since Chu Yurui arrived at the Nine Doubts Residence, she was still nested in the house, but she was looking for all the books around her that could understand the world. As the saying goes: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
Even when she arrives in the new world, Chu Yurui will also actively understand this world and learn how to live.
After Chu Yurui sorted out her thoughts recently, she looked at the books left in the center of the Nine Suspicions, most of them were useless scripts and jokes, and it was easy to turn out a few useful books, and what was written in them was also in classical Chinese, and she felt a headache after reading a few sentences.
Chu Yurui knocked on her head, no, if you want to adapt to it, you must be patient to read it.
