Chapter 16 Buying a Carriage
The little boy didn't get up, maybe the courage just now was exhausted at the moment he rushed out, but his lips trembled at this time, and he looked at the cold-faced general in front of him and said incoherently: "Please the general save my second sister, please ask the general to save my second sister"
Zhou Muhan frowned, Gu Xinyu was also secretly anxious, what grievances do you have, what a good opportunity, under the eyes of everyone, he did not dare to show favoritism and ignore it.
At this time, a young white-faced young man with a baby face who got off the horse next to him walked up to him and whispered in Zhou Muhan's ear: "Let me ask, when the children see your dead face, they won't even speak." ”
Zhou Muhan's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he stopped talking.
The white-faced young man smiled and said to the little boy, "What's wrong with your second sister, why did you go to save her life?" ”
The little boy's mood eased a little at this time, and he cried to the person in front of him: "General, my second sister was snatched away by the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion yesterday, and my father and mother were beaten by them because they didn't let them snatch the second sister, so I begged the general to save my second sister."
The little boy kowtowed frequently, and passers-by in front of him exchanged heads.
Gu Xinyu gloated and thought, the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion dared to rob the people's daughter, see how you deal with it.
Zhou Muhan frowned, Zhenguo Gong hurriedly recruited himself to return to the city, I am afraid that there is a big event, and he can't delay here for too long, so he motioned to the white-faced young general Wu Hao to help the boy up, Zhou Muhan arched his hand to the people on the side of the road: "Please rest assured, my Zhou family has lived in Rongcheng for generations, and the people of Rongcheng are my family, I will definitely deal with this matter impartially, if there is indeed such a thing, I will not spare this person!" Zhou Muhan said word by word.
The onlookers applauded one after another, claiming that they had great trust in the Guogong Mansion guarding the border gates, and that there must be evil thieves impersonating and trying to destroy the reputation of the Guogong Mansion.
Gu Xinyu looked at the person next to him gritting his teeth, a little hairy, looking at the young general in the middle of the road, at this time, the sun was evenly sprinkled on him, outlining a pale golden light on the black cloak!
Gu Xinyu's little heart was beating a little urgently, and his eyes were staring at him, at this time, Zhou Muhan had already turned over and got on the horse, Xu Gu Xinyu's eyes were too eager, Zhou Muhan's keen eyes swept to this side, Gu Xinyu instinctively dodged, Zhou Muhan's thin lips pursed, and after sweeping around the onlookers, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he motioned to Wu Hao to put the little boy on the horse and hurry back to the house.
The neat and solemn sergeant followed Zhou Muhan's white horse, and marched forward calmly and quickly.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, and Gu Xinyu and the little wolf froze in place.
After a while, he came back to his senses, and his mood slowly calmed down, looking at Zhou Muhan's bearing and calmness in dealing with the problem just now, it really made people's hearts ripple, but thinking of the situation in the past three years, he also has an unshirkable responsibility, alas, tangled
At this moment, Uncle Wang hurried over, saw Gu Xinyu and Wangcai standing on the side of the road, breathed a sigh of relief, and then eagerly told Gu Xinyu that the carriage had been bought, let Gu Xinyu go and see, Wangcai took the lead and ran to the front, Gu Xinyu immediately lost his melancholy, and happily followed Uncle Wang to his newly bought carriage.
The horse is also a jujube red horse, taller and bigger than Du Tiezhu's, the car is newly made, the wheel and body are pineapple wood, ground very smooth, there is no burr, because it is used by farmers, so there is no carport and other things, just on both sides of the car spread a brand new embroidered cotton pad, which should be filled with cotton, soft to the touch.
Gu Xinyu was so satisfied, and Wangcai also bared his teeth from time to time around the jujube red horse, which made Uncle Wang and Du Tiezhu laugh.
Gu Xinyu thought beautifully, now that she has a car and a deposit, she will wait to pick up her father and mother in Jiangnan, and don't be too moisturized in her small days
Uncle Wang had also driven a carriage before, seeing that it was not early, he went to the rice grain shop to buy a few bags of polished rice, white noodles and other food, and bought daily necessities such as soaphorn tooth powder for washing, and bought half-horned pork and a basket of eggs and cabbage and radish, etc., Gu Xinyu picked out a few batches of cotton cloth and two silver hairpins, and went to the bookstore to buy some miscellaneous books. This trip cost a total of more than two hundred and eighty taels of silver, Gu Xinyu thought happily, no matter the past and present life, shopping is really a happy thing.
Gu Xinyu and Wangcai sat in their own carriage and slowly walked out of the city, Uncle Wang flicked his whip and hit a whip in the air, and the jujube red horse neighed, and ran towards the farm quickly and steadily.
It took a little more than an hour to return to the farm, at the intersection, he took half a piece of cloth and a piece of pork for Du Tiezhu, and Uncle Wang stuffed him with ten copper plates, Du Tiezhu said too much, he didn't do anything, these things are not at ease, Gu Xinyu looked at the two with a smile, Du Tiezhu is a simple person.
After some courtesy, Du Tiezhu accepted these things, and gave Gu Xinyu a deep salute gratefully: "Little boy, I, Du Tiezhu, won't say anything, anyway, I will work hard where I will be useful in the future." ”
Uncle Wang drove the car to the bluestone road on the left, and soon parked the carriage outside the courtyard, Uncle Wang tied the horse under the toon tree, Xiao Tao was in the field not far away, saw his father driving the carriage back, ran over excitedly, his face was still sweaty, there was soil in his hands, the nature of the teenager, there was a natural love for the horse, he saw the red horse parked under the toon tree, wiped his hand on his side, and happily touched the mane of the horse, this red horse was more docile, so Xiao Tao got his hands up and down.
Uncle Wang's eyes widened, "Stinky boy, come here, don't you see so many things in the car?" ”
Xiao Tao smiled, quickly unloaded the items on the car, carried them into the yard, and put them one by one, some cotton cloth and daily necessities were handed over to Mama Wang, Mama Wang saw these things, and knew that Lingzhi had been sold. At this time, she couldn't tell what mood she was, so she could only silently put these items one by one.
Gu Xinyu had finished washing, walked out of the bedroom, saw the cotton cloth on the table that had not had time to be placed, and said to Mama Wang: "Mama, these cotton cloths are for Uncle Wang and Xiaotao to make clothes, now that the weather is warm, I see that Uncle Wang is still wearing that jacket, and these two silver hairpins are for you and Chunmei, and when the days are better in the future, I will give you a big gold bracelet!" ”
Mama Wang's eyes were hot: "Big girl, the old slaves are so old, what kind of gold bracelets do they wear, they don't have to fold their blessings"
Gu Xinyu disagreed: "Who said that you are old and grandma is young?"
Chunmei looked at the young lady to give her a heavy silver hairpin, happily put it on, the young lady chose a magnolia hairpin for her, the hairpin was held with a string of round silver beads, Chunmei loved it very much, and thanked the young lady repeatedly.
Gu Xinyu replaced the wooden hairpin on Mama's head, and looked left and right and felt very satisfied.
Mama Wang looked at Gu Xinyu, and Fang came back to her senses: "Big girl, why didn't you buy anything yourself?" ”
