Chapter Seventy-Eight
The rest of Song Qiuniang stood up, Meng Tan seized the opportunity to pass, and said cautiously: "Qiu Niang, I'm going to take the exam, I will definitely work hard to pass the exam, so that you can marry in a beautiful way." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Song Qiuniang blushed, "Don't put too much pressure on you, just do your best." The capital is not as good as Yuncheng, the climate is dry, the weather is cold, you have to pay more attention to your body. ”
Meng Tan's heart was warm, the first thing the future daughter-in-law cares about is her own body, Qiu Yu or something is ranked behind, what can be more than this to show Qiu Niang's heart for herself?
If you don't take a good test, I'm really sorry for such a good daughter-in-law.
Meng Tan unconsciously added pressure again, nodded his head and said, "Well, I'll pay attention." You are waiting for my good news at home! ”
After saying a few words, Song Chunniang set off, and if she didn't leave, she couldn't get to the next stop before dark.
The second elder of the Song family and others were reluctant to say goodbye to their daughter, and waited until the figures were gone.
"What did you just say to Meng Gongzi? Is it a love story? After getting into the carriage, Song Dongniang couldn't wait to gossip.
Song Qiuniang scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! Where to go to school. We've just said a few words of greeting, don't go around talking nonsense. ”
Song Dongniang pouted, "Seeing that you are nervous, I am just curious to ask, third sister, you say, Meng Gongzi, can they go to high school?" ”
Song Qiuniang was stunned, as a wife who had not passed through the door, of course she hoped that Meng Tan could succeed in one fell swoop, but Qiuqiu was full of talents, where could she say it accurately, after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything, "I don't know, there are so many talented people all over the country, where is it good to say that it is not true." ”
"That's right, I hope that Meng Gongzi can be a lifter, and then the third sister will be a lifter!" Song Dongniang joked with a smile.
Song Qiuniang turned her face to the side in shame, "You're talking nonsense again!" Besides, I'm angry. ”
"Okay, okay, third sister, I don't say no. Our family hasn't been going well lately, so I don't want to have some joy. ”
Song Qiuniang glanced at her in surprise, "Yo, you also know how to worry about things at home?" Aren't all the rumors resolved? It will all be fine in the future. ”
Song Dongniang drooped her little face and sighed: "Who knows, I overheard the conversation between my father and my mother at my mother's place last night, it seems that Helian Chong's business in the capital had a big problem, and the eldest sister hurried over." ”
"Really?" Song Qiuniang was even more surprised, "I also heard that it was just a small matter, but I didn't expect it to be a big problem." Will that affect our business? ”
"If it's a trivial matter, why did the eldest sister rush to the capital? Alas, I hope it will be solved as soon as possible, so as not to affect our family. ”
Song Qiuniang nodded, "Well, I hope there won't be a big incident, we can't help, so we can only be in a hurry." ”
Song Chunniang, who was talked about, was sitting in the carriage with Song Xianiang at this time, and there was a post station not far in front of her, and she should come down to rest according to the itinerary.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the post station in front is full, and it is said that there is no place to sit, but what can I do?" The servants reported outside the carriage.
From this post station to the town where you stay and rest at night, there is no rest in between, and all the people who come from the direction of Yuncheng will rest here to replenish their supplies, which is really troublesome if there is no land.
Song Chunniang frowned and asked, "Then if people don't go, let the horses go to rest and eat some grass, do you think it can be done?" ”
The man replied, "It's not clear, I'll wait for the little one to investigate." ”
After a while, the people returned, saying that there was no place for the cattle to rest.
"What's going on? In the past, there would not be so many people at the inn. What about the shopkeeper? "Song Chunniang intuitions that there is something abnormal in the station.
"Shopkeeper Zhang and Yang Gongzi negotiated at the post station to see if they could make room for rest."
"Oh." Song Chunniang pondered for a moment, "Then let's wait for the shopkeeper to come back." Let the guys find a vacant spot on the side of the road to rest in place first. ”
"Yes, Miss."
The group stopped on the side of the road.
Song Xianiang lifted the curtain and saw that there were several groups of people outside who were also resting, thinking that they were forced to have no land at the post station like them, so they could only settle here.
"Eldest sister, who do you say are the people at the post station? I think a lot of people are resting here. Song Xianiang turned around and asked.
"We take the official road, in addition to the towns on the way, only the post station can rest, and the post station is more expensive than the ordinary inn, so many people do not take the official road in order to save money, and take the side road. It stands to reason that there should not be many people at the post station. But according to this situation, eight or nine out of ten post stations have been packed, and the people who have been wrapped up are either rich or expensive. ”
"That's right." Song Xia Niang understood, "Then can we only rest here?" ”
"Wait for the news from the shopkeeper. It's all right for us to rest here, but the horses have to eat, and it's not going to be easy to walk halfway. ”
The two had just spoken for a while, and Zhang De and Yang Jian came back.
The situation is the same as what the previous people said, the post station is full, and there is no place for the horses to rest.
“…… There should be a big man living in the station, and we have to talk about it, but it's useless to hand over the silver. Zhang De looked distressed.
"Oh, what big man can come to such a small place as Yuncheng?" Song Xianiang was so curious.
"I didn't see the master, the posture of the subordinate is very high, and he doesn't look at people with straight eyes, and he thinks that the master is also a domineering person." Yang Kan stated his observations.
"That's not easy." Song Chunniang frowned, "Shopkeeper Zhang, why don't we rest here anymore, can we make it to the next stop?" ”
Zhang De traveled back and forth between Yuncheng and the capital many times in his early years, and he was quite familiar with this road, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but people are fine, but I'm afraid that the horses can't stand it." ”
"What can I do?" Meng Tan habitually scratched his head, and his eyebrows were about to be knotted.
"If you don't take the official road, there should be an inn for rest on the path, right?" Song Chunniang asked.
"Yes, there are many inns of all sizes." Zhang De replied, "But the path is not very smooth, so I am afraid of being robbed." ”
"Robbers! Eldest sister, you can't go! Song Xianiang was frightened when she heard it.
"But if we don't take the trail, we will have to stalemate here, and we will not be able to reach the town at night, but we will have to sleep on the streets." Yang also analyzed, and everyone was silent after speaking.
It's really hard to have wolves and tigers in front of you.
"Miss, why don't I go and talk to the people at the post station again, and beg them to take a look?" Zhang De proposed.
Song Chunniang waved her hand, "You've already been there once, and it's not appropriate to go again." I'll take a look. ”
"That's not going to work." Zhang De immediately refused, "There are many people in the post station, and it is not appropriate for the eldest lady to go there." ”
Song Chunniang smiled, "Why is it not suitable?" I'm going to go to the meeting, what kind of big guy is it, we little people don't even have a place to rest. ”
Zhang De couldn't stop it, so he had to follow a piece of it.
Walking into the post station, it was quiet, not at all crowded and uncrowded.
When the shopkeeper of the post station saw Zhang De, his face was not good-looking, "Didn't I tell you, there is no land, you are Jinshan Yinshan and there is no land!" ”
Without waiting for Zhang De to speak, Song Chunniang had a cold face: "This shopkeeper, open the door to do business, and everyone who comes is a guest, is your attitude a bit excessive?" ”
Only then did the shopkeeper notice Song Chunniang, and looked her up and down a few times, "This girl, who are you?" The girl's family can stay in the car, so what do they do when they come out and show up? ”
The tone was full of ridicule, Zhang Dedu was angry, and scolded loudly: "Don't be rude to my eldest lady!" ”
"Yo! is still a young lady from a big family, so she should stay at home, don't you even know the rules and etiquette? The shopkeeper of the post station spoke even more rudely, and his eyes became presumptuous.
Zhang De was so angry that he opened his mouth and wanted to scold a few more words, but was pressed down by Song Chunniang.
Since she started to take care of the family business, it is not the first time she has seen this kind of face, which is not surprising.
"I'm a daughter's family, I don't know much when I go out, and it's the first time I've been on the official road. In the past, I always heard people talk about how good the official road governance is, which is much safer than the small road. He also said that the facilities of the post station are very complete, which can make travelers come and go at home, but now it seems that it is not. Not to mention that there are few rooms, the place is small, and a large number of tourists are stranded outside and can't come in, even the faces of people are so ugly that they don't know how to pick people! ”
"You, nonsense! I won't entertain you yet! When it is full, it is full! All out! Get out! The shopkeeper of the post station had a black face, and he was about to drive people away.
Song Chunniang ignored him, found a seat and sat down, and said leisurely: "Full? Where is the shadow of the guests here? Shopkeeper, you're too embarrassed to open your mouth and talk nonsense! Believe it or not, I called the people queuing outside to come in and reason with you, can you stand it? ”
There are several groups of people parked outside the door, and there must be dozens of people in general, and if they all come in to theorize, the people under the post station must not be able to withstand it.
The shopkeeper of the post station broke out in a cold sweat, but he threw his face and said, "It's full!" There is a big man in the capital, he is rich and powerful, and he has all the post stations, what's the matter? If you have the ability, you have it too! ”
Song Chunniang sneered: "The magnates from the capital must be official eunuchs, so they don't know that the post station was opened for the convenience of tourists, right?" Maybe it's the flattery of you subordinates that makes you evict customers! Otherwise, if you call that big man out, let's talk to him, plead for mercy, and he will let us live naturally and say, if you don't let us go, it won't be on your head, how about it? ”
"No! How can you little people see that master! Don't disturb his quiet! The shopkeeper refused.
"That's good, I'll go out and call everyone in, when the time comes, there will be a miasma of smoke in the post station, presumably the master can't rest!" Song Chunniang also fought the basis of reason and did not give an inch.
"You!" The shopkeeper of the post station was angry, "Don't be complacent!" Wait until I tell you, you will have to bear it when you turn around! ”
"What does the treasurer want to say to this king?" A cold voice floated down from the upper floor.
