Chapter 156: Going Out in Distress
More than an hour later, the moon returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info She gave the sweet cake to Fang Yan and told her to send it to the kitchen to warm it up.
Seeing Fang Yan leaving, she whispered to me: "I didn't see Liang Gongzi, I passed the word to Xi An." β
"Okay," I replied, and then commanded, "you can go and tell Yunqing later, we will go out after lunch, and I will wait for her in the courtyard." β
Yueying nodded and asked me, "Do you need to talk to the old lady?" β
"Yun Qing will say it, what she says is more effective than what we say." I replied.
Because I wanted to go out, I didn't lie on the couch in the morning. After packing up, I want to go to the small study to write. Yueying said that the small study was relatively shady and she couldn't stay longer, so she spread a thick layer of bedding on the Luodian bed, put a small low table on the bed, and brought pen and ink or something.
The charcoal basin in the house was boiling hot, and I spent the morning writing. The time passed quickly, and at noon, Yueying went to the kitchen to get food. After eating, I drank the fetal pills.
At this time, Yun Qing came over. When she entered the house, Yingqiao helped her untie the cloak she was wearing. Without waiting for me to say hello, she sat down across from me as if she were familiar with me, and sighed, "My sister's handwriting is so beautiful." β
I didn't say anything, and asked Yueying to pack up her things and go back to the study.
Yun Qing said again: "Sister, have you figured out where to go?" If you haven't thought about it, sister, I have a good place to go. β
I thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to Minghua Road, I'm just going to buy something." "Leyi Tea House is near Minghua Road, and it is a good excuse to go to the tea house to rest.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "There are a lot of shops on Minghua Road, and I also wanted to talk to my sister about this place." β
I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and Yueying took a hand stove for me to hold, and then came out with a cloak.
After packing up, we went out together.
The housekeeper took two soft sedan chairs out, I sat in, and Yue Ying followed outside the sedan chair. I'm glad the weather is good today, otherwise Yueying would have been frozen outside.
When I went to Minghua Road, Yunqing and I got off the sedan chair. The weather is sunny and warm, and there are more people coming out to walk around. I picked a shop that sold clothes and walked in, and Yun Qing followed.
I glanced around at the furnishings in the shop, then walked over to a shelf with ruby red felt velvet and rubbed the fabric with my hands. Yun Qing walked up to me and said, "It's good to make a small robe for children, and it can also be used on hats." β
I glanced at her, then took the fabric off and put it in Yueying's hand. I just walked around the shop, but it was Yunqing, who would suggest to me to buy this piece of material, and then suggest that I buy that piece of material. I picked a few and handed them all to Yueying.
Out of the shop, we approached a shop that sold jade. After watching it for a long time, I only picked out a jade pendant with a topaz carved unicorn.
I guess it was almost time, so I excused myself to say that I was a little tired and wanted to find a teahouse to sit in. Everyone went out of the jade shop together, and Yingqiao said: "The slave knows that there is a Leyi teahouse not far ahead, and the young lady and aunt can go there to rest." β
I was a little surprised, how could she take the initiative to introduce this to me like this? Then she thought that maybe it was because there was only this one teahouse in the vicinity, so she would say that.
On the way to the Le Yi Tea House, I opened the curtain a little and observed the pedestrians coming and going on the side of the road. In the distance, I saw Fei Yi's carriage parked outside the Leyi Teahouse.
Just as I could see it, the sedan chair was hit hard by something, and I reacted and firmly climbed on the window lattice on the sedan chair so that I didn't fall.
The palanquin swayed, and before I could sit still, I heard a deafening howl outsideβ"Please have mercy on Madame!" Give to me! β
I don't know why, but then I heard Yueying's voice say, "Get up quickly, you're going to knock over the sedan chair." β
"Zhu Niang? Zhu Niang didn't fall, did she? Yueying asked eagerly.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, I lifted the curtain and said, "It's okay." Then he asked, "What's the matter?" β
A middle-aged man in ragged clothes pulled tightly on the sedan chair and shouted, "Please show mercy to Madame and save our family of four...... and bow down to me.
Yun Qing had already gotten off the sedan chair at this time, stood aside to watch, and asked me, "Sister...... You okay? β
There was a little disappointment in his concerned look, thinking that it was because he saw that I was still sitting in the sedan chair.
I glanced at Yun Qing, and then said to the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up and speak, you beg me to show mercy, is it so that I don't blame you for hitting the sedan chair and causing me to almost fall to the ground?" β
He paused for a moment, and then said: "The villain is not, he didn't deliberately bump into your wife, the villain is indeed in trouble......"
"You get up first." I said calmly. Looking at his embarrassment, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, people are really very different. In the past, I have also seen many poor and poor people, who are poor but live a chic life, such as the chaifu I met before. And the middle-aged man in front of him, his embarrassment and despondency are revealed from his bones.
He stood up, bent his waist, and said to me, "Pray that the good Samaritan will have mercy and save us." β
When I saw that he was able-bodied and had no physical disability, I asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I ...... I have three children at home, and they are all waiting for a hot meal...... In desperation, I bumped into you, the young lady. He pleaded.
"Then why can't you give them a hot meal? Do you have no land? Or can't you work? My tone bordered on indifference.
He glanced at me, spread his hands, and said, "The harvest is not good, and there will be nothing to eat at the end of the year." β
I lowered the curtain and said lightly, "Let's go." β
The sedan chair trembled, and the man seemed to pull on the sedan chair again, crying.
I ignored him. After a while, I heard him say, "Madam, give me alms, you can't let me go back like this...... Anyway, I did my best......"
"Shut up!" Yingqiao scolded.
I opened the curtain a little, and saw that Yun Qing had avoided behind Yingqiao, and looked at the middle-aged man with a cold face.
"Please, madam......" he fell to the ground again.
Yun Qing's face was expressionless, and he instructed Yingqiao to say, "Give him the silver and let him go quickly." β
Yingqiao took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, threw it on the ground, and said, "Hurry up, don't make trouble here." β
The middle-aged man picked up the silver, hurriedly put it in his clothes as if he had found a treasure, and thanked him repeatedly: "Madame is really a good person......
I said on the side: "You have hands and feet, you should work hard in the future, this kind of work will not be done in the long run." β
With an embarrassed face, he took the silver and quickly left. (To be continued.) )
