155 Out of the City (2)
"Changping, it's not that the mourning family wants to talk about you, you're not a child anymore, and you're still so ignorant. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info There is a flood in Jiangnan now, what are you going to do? "Before, the Queen Mother thought that the temperament of the county lord of Changping had changed a lot, but now it seems that there is no change. The county lord of Changping pouted: "Queen Mother, didn't that Xian'er also go?" The Queen Mother, you let Changping go, so that Changping can be accompanied by Xian'er, the Queen Mother, please. ”
Qi Yuxian has been going to Jiangnan for almost half a month, and there is no news at all. The county lord of Changping was in a hurry, and he wanted to sneak out of the palace many times. In the end, they all gave up, and the palace was heavily guarded, especially after the assassination of the saint, not even a fly dared to fly into the palace. What's more, the county lord of Changping, a big living person, was counting on begging the Queen Mother to let the Queen Mother be kind, but who expected that the Queen Mother would resolutely refuse.
"Needless to say, the mourning family doesn't agree, okay, the mourning family is tired, you go down first!" The Queen Mother didn't look at the county lord of Changping, turned her face away, and closed her eyes. This is rushing the county lord of Changping, the county lord of Changping has not been treated like this by the queen mother, and he suddenly felt a little relieved. The tears in his eyes were swirling, provoking him not to let the tears fall, "Queen Mother, that Changping farewell." Holding back the crying, he slowly left the queen mother's bedroom step by step, and the grandmother beside the queen mother looked at the county lord of Changping with some distress.
I have to say that in fact, the Queen Mother is also very anxious about the situation in Jiangnan, and it is difficult to sleep and eat every day, why can't the county lord of Changping be sensible, don't bother the Queen Mother. But seeing the tears in the eyes of the county lord of Changping, Mama was reluctant. "Do you think the mourning family is too ruthless and unreasonable." The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Mama, and replied silently and quickly: "The Queen Mother, you are for the good of the Lord of Changping." Jiangnan is so dangerous, it's better for the county lord of Changping not to go, maybe the county lord of Changping doesn't understand you for a while, but the slave believes that after a long time, the county lord of Changping will figure it out. ”
Listening to Mama's words, the Queen Mother nodded: "Hmm! You're right, Changping, this girl, just lacks discipline. Her mother is not in the capital, and the mourning family must be disciplined, otherwise she will be sorry for her mother. Okay, you go down to help the mourning family to persuade Changping. "Still reluctant to Changping County Lord," yes, the slave obeys the order. Mama left the dormitory as promised, and asked anxiously on the saint in the imperial study: "Is there an eight-hundred-mile rush in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
The eunuch lowered his head, since Qi Yuxian and Doctor Hongyi left the capital, the saint had to ask almost several times a day, and at the beginning the eunuch explained to the saint that he must be busy. There is no free time to write letters to the capital, and now the eunuch does not dare to speculate wildly, if the saint is unhappy, he will not be able to eat and walk around. Shaking his head and answering the saint, the loss in the saint's eyes, the eunuch caught it, but what can it be?
"That's it, that's it, I won't embarrass you, hurry down!" With a wave of his hand, he let the little guy leave, and locked himself in the imperial study alone, not knowing what he was thinking. Qi Yuxian changed into the clothes of the little girl, and Cuiyu said nervously: "Girl, where are you going?" Why is she dressed like this, Qi Yuxian stretched out her finger and put it on Cuiyu's mouth: "Shhh, don't squeak, I'm going to go out, you keep watch outside." If anyone wants to see me, they will say that I am not feeling well and it is not convenient for me to meet visitors. Hear me! ”
Uneasy, she repeatedly told Cuiyu, and Cuiyu nodded: "The slave knows, girl, you can rest assured." But girl, where you are going and what you are doing, you must always tell the slave and maid to rest assured. Otherwise, you let Zilan and Ziyun follow you? "No, the situation is urgent now, and it's too late to say so much. You just have to guard the door and don't let people in. "Qi Yuxian is not just the eldest daughter of the Dingguo Mansion, she is also the county lord of Qingning, and the divine doctor Hongyi is in the mansion.
I believe that no one will dare to break into Qi Yuxian's house, "But, but ......" Cuiyu bit her lip, not knowing whether to say it or not, "What do you want to say, Cuiyu?" "Qi Yuxian doesn't have so much time to delay, Liang Mingda is still waiting for Qi Yuxian at the back door." Girl, if the doctor wants to see the girl, what should the slave say? Cuiyu said the same, "If Master comes, you can tell Master that I'm not feeling well." Okay, there's no time, I'll go first, you guard the door, don't let people in! ”
In this way, Cuiyu watched the back of Qi Yuxian leaving, and Qi Yuxian lowered her head all the way, afraid that she would encounter someone who would hinder Qi Yuxian's way. Came to the back door worriedly, Liang Mingda did not change his clothes, Liang Mingda represented the four princes, Qi Yuxian only thought at this time. Liang Mingda must have passed the anger with the four princes, otherwise he would not dare to do this by borrowing Liang Mingda's ten guts.
Out of the Governor's Palace, Qi Yuxian followed Liang Mingda's steps to the city gate, and along the way, Liang Mingda took into account that Qi Yuxian was a girl's family, so he walked very slowly. But Qi Yuxian herself was very worried about becoming a common person, and she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. Just from the description of Hongyi's divine doctor, Qi Yuxian can imagine the life of the people now. So before going out, Qi Yuxian deliberately took a large stack of silver tickets and stuffed them in her sleeves.
"Second son Liang, wait." Qi Yuxian shouted out Liang Mingda, and Liang Mingda turned around: "County Lord, do you have something?" "You don't need to call me the county lord, where do I look like the county lord when I'm dressed now?" Qi Yuxian whispered to Liang Mingda and said, Liang Mingda was right after thinking about it, "Then what do I call you?" "Just treat me as your little servant, there's a grain shop over there, let's go and see, let's go!" Qi Yuxian didn't wait for Liang Mingda to agree, so she walked directly in front. Liang Mingda couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, just now Qi Yuxian also said that Liang Mingda should treat Qi Yuxian as a little girl, where is there a little girl who doesn't listen to the master's words, and it doesn't count if he makes his own decisions at will.
still wants to be the master of the master, of course, this is just a random thought in my heart. Liang Mingda followed Qi Yuxian's pace and came to a grain store, "Guest officer, how much food do you two need, but you have to buy it quickly." Now the price of this grain is rising every day. Xiao Er saw Liang Mingda and Qi Yuxian enter the store, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Qi Yuxian looked around, there were really few guests in this grain shop.
"Take out the rice from your store and show it to our son-in-law!" Qi Yuxian lowered her voice and ordered Xiao Er, Xiao Er's face suddenly changed: "What's so good, now that there is rice to sell to you, you should have fun." I also want to see the rice, how much rice do you need, and the small ones are just prepared for you. The implication is not to let Qi Yuxian look at the rice, or look at the rice, how can Qi Yuxian know whether it is good or not, and how much to buy.
Hurriedly gave Liang Mingda on the side a look, Liang Mingda coughed lightly: "Xiao Er, let you go and get the rice, you can get it, where is so much nonsense." Xiao Er had a cold face: "Guest officer, if you don't want to buy rice, the door is over there, you can take your little servant and leave quickly!" I didn't expect this thought, the shopkeeper was so arrogant, and Liang Mingda suddenly said angrily: "What about your shopkeeper?" I want to see your shopkeeper! ”
"I'm telling you, our shopkeeper is busy right now, and if you don't buy rice, go quickly. Anyway, there are more people selling rice now, and there is not one more of you, and there is no less of you. Alright, let's go! We don't buy you rice from our store, the door is there, hurry up! Xiao Er stretched out his hand to Qi Yuxian and Liang Mingda to drive them away, Qi Yuxian hooked her lips: "There is no king law in the world, and Xiao Er who sells rice is so rampant." Shopkeepers, shopkeepers, I want to see your shopkeepers. ”
Qi Yuxian didn't need to guess to know that the price of rice must be expensive today. There were countless refugees outside the city, and the city gates were not opened, so that the refugees were not allowed to enter the city. This is actually understandable, Qi Yuxian can understand. After all, there is still a plague outside the city, if you really let those people into the city. It is also a threat to the people in the city. It can only be said that the people in the city are much luckier, and Qi Yuxian is ready to buy some food to take outside the city.
So that the people could temporarily fill their stomachs first, and at this time, the shopkeeper quickly walked out of the backyard. "What is this for?" I can't help but say that the shopkeeper is forty or fifty years old, and his face is relatively kind. Liang Mingda said softly: "Shopkeeper, we want to buy grain, look at your rice." It's just that the second little shop in your house doesn't let us see the rice, and still drives us away! Is this the hospitality of your store? The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, this guest officer, he has only been here for a long time." I also asked the guest officer not to be like him, what to do, and if he can't go down, take the rice to the guest officer. “
The shopkeeper's face was a little stiff, and there was no way, the shopkeeper had already spoken. The shopkeeper and Liang Mingda didn't pay for it, Qi Yuxian's mind was on the rice that the shopkeeper brought over, and she stretched out her hand to stroke the rice. When asked, the taste is still good, the color is also good, the white rice, there are no spots. The shopkeeper was a little curious, Liang Mingda, the master, did not go to see the rice, but asked the little maid to go and look at it carefully. Qi Yuxian's ears were pierced, and the shopkeeper immediately knew that Qi Yuxian, a little girl, was probably a girl's family.
I don't know what kind of relationship the two people have, these have nothing to do with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper should do his own thing and sell the rice. "Guest officer, I don't lie to you, our rice is the best on this street. When you come to our store, it's really discerning. Guest, how much do you need? The shopkeeper looked at Liang Mingda, who had a silver ticket on him, but there didn't seem to be so many.
It's just that he doesn't know Qi Yuxian's plans yet, and Liang Mingda's gaze stays on Qi Yuxian's body. "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this rice?" This should be asked clearly, and you can't be fooled by the shopkeeper in vain. The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Guest officer, don't worry about the price, I can still trick you." In this way, I give others two taels of silver and one catty, and it will be cheaper for you, and you will be five taels of silver and three catties, what do you think? As soon as the shopkeeper's words were finished, Qi Yuxian couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"What are you laughing at, our shopkeeper is a lot cheaper for you?" The shopkeeper looked at Qi Yuxian puzzled, Qi Yuxian coughed lightly: "Then thank you to the shopkeeper, we are so ignorant of our lives, why is the shopkeeper so cheap for us?" "Questioning the shopkeeper in turn, the shopkeeper is a bit nonsensical, isn't it good to sell it to Qi Yuxian cheaply?" Childe, just give me a happy word, do you want rice or not? "If you don't buy rice, there is no need for the shopkeeper to delay time with the two of them.
"Shopkeeper, why don't we want it, since we come to your store, we want to buy rice." Liang Mingda replied to the shopkeeper without hesitation, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you want it, then you can buy it, the price I said is already the lowest." This is something that no one else can buy from me, and I sold it to you because I saw your kindness. If you don't, I can't do anything. ”
finally wanted to be a good person, Liang Mingda's clothes were not ordinary materials, high-quality brocade. The shopkeeper does not do business for a year or two, which is different from the shopkeeper. and Qi Yuxian, who dressed as a man, couldn't hide the shopkeeper's eyes. "Shopkeeper, I want to buy all the rice in your shop." As soon as Qi Yuxian's words were finished, the shopkeeper pointed at Qi Yuxian: "Your son hasn't spoken yet, have you been the master of a subordinate?" After speaking, he stared at Liang Mingda, as if he blamed Liang Mingda for conniving at Qi Yuxian.
The shopkeeper glared at the shopkeeper fiercely: "Shut up for me, do you have a part to speak here?" Hurry down! "A good business is going to be disturbed by the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, just tell me how much rice you have in your store." "The price is negotiable," Officer, there are so many in our store. Speaking of the gesture to Qi Yuxian, whether it is a thousand catties or ten thousand catties, Qi Yuxian is not sure.
Looking at the furnishings in the store, I'm afraid there should be 10,000 catties. "Shopkeeper, do you have 10,000 catties?" "Of course there is, guest officer, you really guessed right, there are indeed 10,000 catties. I just want to ask the guest officer, what is the use, buy 10,000 catties of rice at once? "An ordinary ordinary person buys a maximum of dozens of catties of rice, and some only buy a few catties, it's not that they don't want to buy it, but the current price of rice is too expensive, two taels of silver a catty.
It's like grabbing money, but if you don't buy rice, the people won't have the strength to work, they won't have enough to eat, and they won't have warm clothes, so there will be no hope for life. The city is much better, "Shopkeeper, you don't care about this, since there are 10,000 catties of rice, it will be easy to do." Sell me all the rice, the price is negotiable. Liang Mingda hurriedly gave Qi Yuxian a look, he did have a silver ticket on his body, but he didn't have 20,000 taels.
The shopkeeper squinted: "Guest officer, you can rest assured about this, if you buy 10,000 catties of rice, you will have already sold it to you for one tael of silver, and I won't ask you for more money." What do you guys think? "Shopkeeper, I see that you are also a cheerful person, so we decided so. Here is a thousand taels of silver tickets, shopkeeper, you prepare a thousand catties of rice for me first. I'll get the rest ready, and I'll have someone come and pick it up with a silver ticket when I get back, how about it?" "Liang Mingda doesn't need to intervene at all, Qi Yuxian can handle it.
"Guest, okay, okay, listen to you." Saying that, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand to hold the 1,000 taels of silver tickets handed over by Qi Yuxian, and Qi Yuxian quickly pulled it back: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and send someone to prepare a thousand catties of rice." We pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other. "It should be, it should be, you see, I'm confused. Guest, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare! The shopkeeper hurriedly went down to prepare a thousand catties of rice for Qi Yuxian.
Liang Mingda and Qi Yuxian quickly took a thousand catties of rice out of the city, and when they arrived at the city gate, there were still officers and soldiers to stop and interrogate, but when Liang Mingda took out the token, the officers and soldiers hurriedly let them go. As soon as she got out of the city, Qi Yuxian was shocked to see countless refugees lying on the ground, wailing all over the field, and many refugees rushed over when they saw Qi Yuxian and Liang Mingda. The guard hurriedly stopped, "Good Samaritan, save my daughter, save my daughter." One of the women rushed to Qi Yuxian's side. (To be continued.) )
