Chapter 80: Take Refuge in the Nobles
Walking in the bustling inner city streets, here is like the capital of the Moon Dynasty, which makes Qiong'er think of the legend outside, Loulan, which is paved with gold bricks and carved in jade, is actually here, right?
Although there is not so exaggerated gold and silver everywhere, there are a lot of marble walls and shops, which is estimated to be the legendary jade street in the mouth of outsiders.
may be because Qiong'er is generous, a bag of salt particles only exchange a few melons for her, and the old grandmother is very enthusiastic to introduce the layout of this Shanshan inner city to Qiong'er.
"Girl, do you know why our Shanshan City got its name?"
Qiong'er shook her head blankly, looking at the surrounding Yiqiē like a dirt bun, "I don't know!" ”
"Because this is the city of the Shanshan clan!" The old grandmother looked up proudly.
"Where are the people from the Shanshan family?" Dome blinked, good chance.
The old grandmother smiled and pointed to the bustling shops around, "There are people from the Shanshan family everywhere here!" ”
Qiong'er looked around in surprise, all of them? "The old grandma is also from the Shanshan family?" It's not all a family that can live in the inner city, right?
The old grandmother nodded and shook her head, her face suddenly felt a little more lonely, looking at the buildings and treasures everywhere seemed to be nostalgic for the glory of the past, "The Shanshan family is famous for business, but that's just the case, and our declining side branches can only be reduced to farming and raising livestock for them and providing them with their daily supplies!" ”
"Alas, don't talk about it!" Before Qiong'er could come up with words of comfort, it was just an instant that the old grandmother turned her face again, "Look over there, this wall is high, right?" ”
There is a huge mansion gate in the middle of the white marble wall, a man in gray clothes got off the horse, raised his head to support a man in an embroidered robe on a white background, Ying'er's eyes were just facing their direction, Qiong'er looked at the old grandmother's eyes, and suddenly stiffened, why is Shanqi with this person?
"Those who live there are the descendants of the Shanshan family, and the caravan of the Shanshan family is led by them to travel all over the world!" The old grandma's tone of voice was a little strange, and it seemed to be mocking, "It's just that the old lady who is in charge of the house now loves to eat cold melons the most, so all our cold melons are here!" ”
Qiong'er retracted her gaze lightly, slowly moved to the other side of the old grandma, raised her hand to pull the scarf on her face, covering all her face, "Grandma, where is your home?" ”
The old grandmother pointed to the front, "The westernmost side, let's go quickly, lest we can't catch you out of the city!" ”
Qiong'er nodded and kept up, this old lady was neat, and she was not slow to push the cart. The four wheels of this little car are all wooden, and they are covered with iron sheets? The dome couldn't look too closely, but she was surprised by what kind of craftsmanship could make this car not bump at all? And with so many dishes on it, an old lady can push it easily?
At the gate of Shanshan Mansion in pure white marble, Shanqi walked in with a few people, his bright green eyes with a smile, "Haven't you found anyone yet?" ”
A gray-clothed man beside him shook his head, "My subordinates have scattered my brothers in the desert, and there is no news so far!" ”
Are these two really gone?
"Isn't there any news from the north or the east?" Did you go back to Beipi, or did you already pass Tianliu Mountain?
"Brothers guard the fortress, and no one knows it!" The man in gray said yes, but his eyelids drooped to hide his heart. He didn't dare tell him, and the brothers he sent out to drive them all disappeared, and no one knew what had happened.
Shanqi glanced sideways at the people around him, the smile on his face did not decrease, but it made the gray-clothed man's body bow even more, "Don't let me know from other places that they have actually walked out!" ”
"Don't worry, master!" Under the strong heat of the sun, the gray-clothed man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the coldness from his heart made him tremble, "If they are still alive, their subordinates will definitely find them out!" ”
Shanqi nodded, turned around and continued to walk, "Let's go!" "It's like nothing happened.
This tall marble mansion is so magnificent inside, covering an area of unknown amounts, compared to the exposed streets outside, here is like a small city in the south of the Yangtze River like green trees like shade, small bridges and flowing water, lush gardens, and there are constantly Western beauties shuttling around, which can make people feel the slightest coolness.
The world behind a threshold is different, and the gray-clothed man looks at the qi qi here persistently and longingly, it's just like this in the heavens on earth, right? If you can really live in, you will have no regrets in this life!
Shanqi didn't seem to see this eye-catching scene, and went straight through the layers of porches to the most central courtyard. Pure white marble carved beams and white tiled walls all shade the sun.
"Eminem!"
As soon as he entered the hall, Shanqi immediately bowed respectfully.
The old lady at the top was a graceful old woman, different from the brown-haired and blue-eyed people in Shanshan City, but she was brown-eyed, looking the same age as Xiao on her face, but her head was full of gorgeous hair.
"Xiao Wu is back?" The voice was old and deep, and it didn't seem to match the face.
"Yes, Eminem (grandmother), Qi'er is back!" Shanqi knelt on the ground very obediently and did not move.
The old woman looked at the person on the ground and didn't let him get up, "This line, can it be smooth?" ”
Shanqi replied with a smile, "Eminem rest assured, there is no loss!" ”
"And what about the people I asked you to bring back?" The old lady's voice was still gentle, but the light in her eyes was cold.
Shanqi looked straight ahead, "Eminem, my grandson is incompetent, and I haven't been able to find anyone yet!" ”
The meeting between the ancestors and grandchildren, who was originally quite cordial, suddenly became quiet, there was not a single sound in the hall, and all the blue-eyed beauties who were waiting in the hall hung their heads and pretended to be statues, not daring to move a point.
The old lady, who had straightened her back for a long time, leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and bent her legs, and the beauty next to her hurriedly hugged the little pestle, put the old lady's legs on and gently rubbed them.
"Little Five, look for it with your heart!" The tone that seems to be admonishing can't distinguish between joy and anger.
Shanshan smiled, his charming face was a little more gorgeous than the beauties around him, "Eminem, don't worry!" Qi'er will bring people back! ”
The old lady at the top seemed to be asleep, and just gently "Hmm! There was no more words.
Shanqi got up slowly and walked out gently backwards.
"Who did he bring back?" An old voice suddenly came from inside the silent hall.
"It's Komul!" A woman's voice replied softly.
"Let him come, I have something to ask him!"
"Yes!"
Qiong'er pushed the small cart given to him by the old grandmother, which was piled with fresh vegetables, and was rummaged through by the men guarding the city and went out of the inner city safely.
This old grandma's house lives so far away! The two of them walked for nearly two hours before they arrived, and Qiong'er admired that the old lady had to push the cart back and forth for four hours every day to sell vegetables, and imagined that life must have been very unsatisfactory.
It's just that when she arrived at the old grandmother's house, Qiong'er was a little surprised to see an ordinary family, although there was no big mansion of the Shanshan family, but it was not a poor mud house as imagined! And the interior decoration is exquisite, and the wooden furniture is made of perfect fits.
The old lady enthusiastically introduced her to everyone in the family, and asked her eldest son to load a small cart of vegetables for her, hiding a few melons in it, and sent her away, without saying that anyone would send her back.
When she passed by the mansion of Shanshan's family again, Qiong'er subconsciously glanced at it, but she didn't see Shanshan Qi again, and the pair of eyes beside him that made Qiong'er tremble familiarly.
Secretly hid half of the vegetables, and Qiong'er pushed the cart and appeared in the courtyard with some reluctance.
"You're back!"
Welcoming the dome is the eldest daughter of the owner of the compound, the beautiful Kelan!
"What's wrong?"
