Chapter 84 Wenzhou
Wenzhou, Biluo Avenue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The crowd bustled by, but everyone had a look of fear and anxiety on their faces. Adults clung to their children's hands, rather than extinguishing their active childlike innocence, and restricting their movements, not allowing them to run around.
In an inconspicuous shop on the side of the road, Yan Huiqi slowly pushed open the window and let the sunlight shine into the entire room. She looked back at the yellowish wooden furnishings in the room and couldn't help but sigh.
It's been two days since he came to Wenzhou, but Han Luoling doesn't know where to go. The coachman had no choice but to find a small shop for Yan Huiqi to settle down.
Although this small shop is small, it is very well furnished. Although the so-called sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. In this room, Yan Huiqi did not feel any discomfort, and even the incense box used in the house was familiar to Yan Huiqi in the Han Mansion.
This was deliberately arranged by Han Luoling, otherwise there was no reason why a small roadside shop could be of such a grade. After Yan Huiqi set up the window, she slowly walked to the table and sat down.
Han Luoling should have known his thoughts, and stopped him from fighting with Ming Fan, no, it should be said that it was a battle with Qiansilou. However, is it to completely ignore yourself by hanging yourself out like this now?
Having said that, Yan Huiqi still had the patience to live in the small shop for two days. For two days, Yan Huiqi quietly leaned against the window and looked at the street every day. There was indeed some undercurrent that she didn't know was surging.
For a long time, it is rare to see children playing on the streets. No, it should be said that there is no frolicking child, and the children Yan Huiqi saw were all followed by someone and held tightly by their parents or servants.
Second, the actions of the crowd on the street are very purposeful. She had observed more than one person, everyone who had come here in a hurry, bought what they wanted, and then went home without stopping.
This is an ancient commercial street, although Wenzhou is not as big as the capital, but the population should not be underestimated. As the most prosperous business district in the area, the number of people coming and going every day is decreasing.
Yan Huiqi once asked the shopkeeper about what happened in Wenzhou, but the shopkeeper, who was very enthusiastic about other things, was silent about it. This is even stranger.
Sitting and waiting for news was useless, but Yan Huiqi also understood that she was now in ancient times. There is no intelligence network that you can use, and everything needs to be investigated by yourself, but before you can investigate, you need clues that you can start with.
In the past two days, the reason why she has not moved is that she is waiting for clues to appear. Whether it's an unintentional word from a passerby, or something else, just a few small hints. She can easily sort things out.
However, for the past two days, I don't know why, everyone has been silent. Even on the streets, everyone looked at each other indifferently and hurried about their own business, as if they were afraid that if they said something wrong, they would be spared.
Damn, Yan Huiqi rested her head on the table, pressing the table to make a creaking sound. If you don't have any news, it won't help! Think about it, is there any information she missed?
When she first came to this store, the owner seemed to be puzzled and asked, "Why do you come to stay at this time?" I'm so embarrassed! At that time, because it was night, Yan Huiqi thought that she had disturbed the rest of the shopkeeper, but now it seems that it is not. The shopkeeper was complaining about why he came to Wenzhou at this time.
A day later, the shopkeeper's expression no longer became distressed, and Yan Huiqi's gaze began to change from the initial complaint to submissive. Yan Huiqi suspected that it was at this time that Han Luoling had already contacted the shopkeeper.
When I learned the news that Han Luoling was missing, it was early in the morning of the second day of my stay. According to the reasoning, Han Luoling was still there at that time.
"Miss!" The coachman's voice sounded outside the door, and Yan Huiqi got up and opened the door. The coachman was carrying some simple meals. Yan Huiqi felt that she was really sorry for this coachman, who was an errand runner and a servant. Yan Huiqi once proposed to do something by herself, but the coachman refused to do anything about it, always saying that Miss, don't embarrass the slave.
Once was fine, twice, three times, Yan Huiqi was no longer reluctant. After all, it was uncomfortable to watch the coachman do things for him and apologize to himself.
When the coachman entered the house, Yan Huiqi noticed that the shopkeeper and one of the chefs in the shop were standing in the corner at some point, and the two of them looked at this side with a puzzled and anxious look.
However, as soon as they came into contact with Yan Huiqi's gaze, the two pretended not to see Yan Huiqi, and hurriedly walked away, what should they be busy with.
"Miss?" The coachman looked at Yan Huiqi, who had not yet closed the door, suspiciously, and clenched his hands slightly.
Yan Huiqi squinted at the coachman, then smiled faintly, turned around and said the same thank you to the coachman. Then he walked into the house without closing the door.
Sighing, Yan Huiqi walked to the table and sat down, "Is there any news from the prince?" ”
The coachman was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head respectfully, "Miss, not yet!" ”
Really? Yan Huiqi's eyes darkened, she lowered her head, and she instructed the coachman, three days later, if there is no news from the prince, we will go home.
"Yes, the old slave understands, Miss, please use it slowly!" When the coachman heard Yan Huiqi say this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. bowed to Yan Huiqi, turned around and closed the door.
Yan Huiqi was also relieved when she saw the coachman go out. The food on the table, although simple, tastes the same. Yan Huiqi thinks this can be regarded as special treatment!
didn't move the meal, Yan Huiqi sat directly by the window, quietly staring at the crowd walking below.
There are fewer and fewer people coming here. Yan Huiqi looked up at the rice shop opposite, where there was a sign "rationed supply", not that the rice in the store had been sold out, but that it was rationed.
The people who came to this street were almost as if they were anticipating what would happen to them, and they kept buying as many things as they could and hoarding them.
No, it should be said that we have already encountered some natural and man-made disasters, and will face even greater natural and man-made disasters.
"Little fish, come back quickly!" Suddenly, a mother's cry interrupted Yan Huiqi's train of thought.
Yan Huiqi looked down, and an old man in coarse linen clothes was chasing after a running child with some difficulty. The kid seemed to hate the old man, and turned around and grimaced as he ran.
When running past a few children who were held by adults, the children showed a look of envy and suppressed for a long time. Suppressed for a long time? Yan Huiqi's eyes shrank.
Shaking the bell in the store, the shopkeeper soon came to the outside of Yan Huiqi's house. When she saw this rattle for the first time, Yan Huiqi thought that she had traveled back to modern times. The principle is the same as that of a wired telephone, with a rattle bell in each room that connects to the back wall of the lobby where the shopkeeper is located below.
"Is there anything you want to tell Miss?" The shopkeeper stood outside the house without entering the house and asked respectfully.
"I want to buy some rice...... Yan Huiqi smiled slightly, "The rice here is so delicious, I want to buy some and send it back, can you please help?" ”
"Buy rice?" The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "No problem, how much rice does Miss want to buy?" ”
Yan Huiqi looked at the food on the table, if she guessed correctly, the coachman must have been staring at her from some dark place. As long as he said the wrong thing, maybe he wouldn't have forced himself to leave here in such a gentle way as drugging his food.
"I'm not sure, but the more the better! May I? ”
The shopkeeper nodded respectfully, then walked down the stairs and ordered someone to buy rice. The coachman has been hidden in the shadows, and at last he has begun to make a move, Miss. So, how are you going to make a move?
After a while, the shopkeeper moved half a bag of rice to Yan Huiqi's house, Yan Huiqi looked at the rice in the bag, the color was very good, and it could be seen that the shopkeeper had carefully selected.
"Not enough!" Yan Huiqi looked at the shopkeeper with some annoyance.
"That's not enough?" The shopkeeper was stunned, he had chosen it for a long time, and now the rice shop sells rice in rations.
"There should be three more bags!" Yan Huiqi spit out a number that made the shopkeeper very devastated, three bags? Even if he runs all the rice shops in Wenzhou, he can't buy so much.
"This ...... This young lady doesn't know anything! The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, "Because of some things, rice shops are now selling in quantities, so they may not be able to buy so much rice for a while!"
was about to lead to the question she wanted to know, Yan Huiqi pretended to be disappointed, walked to the table and sat down.
"But I want rice, when did you say that you were selling it in quantities? It's not like I'm going to be a ration as soon as I come! ”
The shopkeeper faintly heard a trace of complaint and blame from Yan Huiqi's words, and couldn't help but lower his body: "This is definitely not!" Miss is too careful, it has been a long time since the rice shop came out with this rule! ”
"How long?" Yan Huiqi has a posture of not eating the fireworks of the world and asking questions to the end.
The shopkeeper pursed his lips, "It was already like this three months before Miss came, Miss rest assured, the rice store you want will definitely be enough!" After saying these words, the shopkeeper left without looking back.
Three months before you came? The time is about the same, she was still in the palace when she heard the name of Wenzhou frequently, and after all, Han Luoling has not been here for a long time, and it is estimated that she has not yet investigated any clues!
The coachman's timely appearance interrupted Yan Huiqi's train of thought. He saw that Yan Huiqi didn't move the food and didn't have any accusations, just cleaned up silently and left.
Is this a hint? (To be continued.) )
