Chapter 36: Xizhou Panhuan (2)

While looking around, Feng Ling asked people about the location of the Kang family's wine shop, but it was not difficult to find, according to Kang Dazhi's consistent style, his wine shop must be the most eye-catching and glamorous in the market. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"But the little lady of the Gu family?" When Feng Ling walked into the wine shop, the sharp-eyed steward immediately greeted him from inside, and exclaimed: "Ah Lang sent a message saying that Gu Xiaoniang is coming, I secretly thought that it would take a month to arrive, and I didn't want to come so quickly." ”

Feng Ling took the cheese handed by the maid in the store, didn't bother to take a bite, and asked eagerly: "The old steward bother, my store ......?"

The steward slapped his face: "It's not wrong, don't worry, little lady." I have found a place according to your wishes, and the shops in the market are all the best. He looked up and down at the dusty appearance of the wind spirit, running for two thousand miles, and the strong man was still out of strength, not to mention a little lady's family. The guest room is ready-made, why don't you go to freshen up and freshen up first, take a rest, and I'll take you to see the shop tomorrow, how about it? ”

"No, no." Feng Ling shook his head again and again, "Feng Ling can only stay in Gaochang for five days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Dunhuang City if it is late. ”

The old steward hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's okay, the shop is not far away, just ahead, just a few steps away." ”

Feng Ling looked at the shop front, and sure enough, as the steward said, she was satisfied, and as soon as she relaxed, fatigue swelled up, dragging her legs that could not be lifted, and followed the steward back to the wine shop.

A servant and maid stepped forward to return to the hot soup for bathing, and the bedding in the guest room had been replaced with a brand new one, and Feng Ling couldn't resist the tiredness anymore, so he took off his robe and handed it to the steward: "There is a labor steward in the deed of the shop, and the money for the shop is all in this robe." ”

The steward picked up the robe and shook it twice, and suddenly realized that she had sewn the gold cake into the robe, and secretly laughed at her, although she was now in charge of the Gu family's business affairs in the Western Regions, her behavior was as strange as it was back then, and it was not reduced at all.

Feng Ling slept until noon the next day.

The sunshine in Xizhou was even worse than in Dunhuang, and the dazzling sunlight penetrated directly into the curtains, waking her up. She sat up from the couch slowly, stretched her muscles and stretched her waist, and her mood was as bright as the sun outside the window.

Sloppy for more than half a month, Feng Ling almost didn't remember that she was a daughter's family, she stepped on the ground barefoot, stepped on the fine wool felt blanket on the ground to rummage through her bags, took a carmine and a small tuft of branches, and changed the tooth-colored half-arm short undergarment, carefully trimmed her eyebrows, swiped the snail, and applied a thin compress of fat powder, and she was a delicate and pretty little woman of the Tang family.

Suddenly, she realized that there was something in her bag, and she took it out and took a look, it was a release document written by Mi Jie to her, which reminded her to go to the Metropolitan Protectorate as soon as possible to sign the office, in addition to the office, there was also a pile of trivial things waiting for her outside the house. She hurriedly put down the rhombic bronze mirror in her hand and opened the door and left the house.

The old housekeeper of the Kang family saw her come out refreshed, touched the white curly beard with a smile, and said: "Hey, look, the last time I saw her, she was still a female doll, like a monkey boy, going up the tree and down the river, hunting birds and chasing cats, it's only been a few years, and it's been this good color!" ”

Feng Ling smiled: "You haven't changed at all, just like when I saw you when I was a child." ”

The old steward laughed, and took out a tightly tied sheepskin bag from behind the cabinet, "Gu Niangzi gave the money happily, and the seller didn't dare to delay, so I made a deed at Shicheng yesterday afternoon, and this is all right." It's just that the shop still needs to be repaired and leveled, I'm afraid it will take some time, the fabrics in our warehouse, Alang said in the letter that the little lady has paid most of the money in Dunhuang City, where should I send it now? ”

"Not busy, not busy." Feng Ling waved his hand and said, "After this summer's fire, my steward will come over, but in March and April." When he comes, it's never too late to deliver. It's not as reassuring to put it anywhere as it is in my brother's treasury, isn't it? ”

The steward said again and again, "That's natural, our family won't do business anymore." If the little lady is anxious, she doesn't have to wait for the summer, and she will immediately find someone to repair the shop, so that I will be here and you will be a supervisor. If you come to prepare for these in the summer, how sooner or later will you have to open the shop? When you came, you also saw with your own eyes, now the business in Xizhou is very good, this back and forth, Bai Yi missed this autumn's business is not counted. You say, but this reason? ”

The wind spirit was embarrassed to accept it, and hesitated for a long time. The old steward saw that she was silent, and said: "The little lady doesn't feel guilty about the old slave, and it doesn't take much labor. ”

He said that he was indeed reasonable, Feng Lingfu thought about it again, and nodded slowly, "You have to be willing to take responsibility for Feng Ling, and Feng Ling will never let you suffer in vain." She raised a palm, "Fifty horses of plain silk are your reward for the wind spirit, if you don't resign, the wind spirit can hand over all the trivial things of the shop repair and whitewash to you, if you want to resign, the wind spirit has to find someone else to do it." ”

When the old steward was stunned for a while, he patted his thigh, "Well, the little lady's kindness, the old slave was cheeky to accept it." ”

"That's right." Feng Ling smiled: "How to trim, let me think about it for two more days, and there must be an explanation before leaving." ”

The time when Feng Ling got up was noon, and while he was talking, the aroma of food came to his nose, and a servant brought a few large bowls, and the strong aroma of mutton and some sweet and sour refreshing smell suddenly spread throughout the wine shop. Someone shouted loudly and beckoned everyone to come and eat.

The steward looked at the food that was served, and said to Feng Ling: "Our food has always been rough, and I will send someone to the back kitchen to say hello and set up another table for the little lady." ”

Feng Ling hurriedly stopped the old steward: "I am here to eat and live with everyone, there is no way to put another food table, the old steward does not have to be busy." She leaned over to look at the big bowls, "Hu Yang gluttony, I haven't tasted Xizhou's practice for many years." Seeing her like this, the old steward had no choice but to let her go.

After lunch, everyone was busy with their own business. Feng Ling went to the room to get the release papers, and went to the Hu Cao Yamen of the Anxi Protectorate to apply for a place to return to Dunhuang City.

Because most of the people who received the place were merchants, Hucao Yamen was located on the side of the road at the top of the market, in a two-story brick building. The wind spirit walked through the market, and at a glance, he saw many soldiers scattered in front of the door of Hucao Yamen, and he didn't feel that his feet were stagnant. After thinking about it again, when she came, none of the soldiers had seen her face hidden under the hood, and they were just strangers to each other at this time, and they were very jealous.

The soldiers who were waiting in front of the yamen waiting for the record office to come to the distribution office were bored, and when they saw a handsome Tang family, and there was no hat to cover their faces, they all turned their faces to look at it, blocking the road in front of the yamen.

"Generals, please also ask the slave to go one way." The wind spirit saluted helplessly and said with a smile on his face.

The soldiers were also quite embarrassed, so they stepped back in twos and threes to make their debut. "This, this Mo is not ...... The lady next to Pyongyang County? Suddenly, someone in the army muttered such a voice.

Feng Ling closed her eyes in annoyance, and it was Ding Si'er who had spoken to her along the way.
