Chapter 294: Partner
The official road leading to the capital is indeed less patrolling, but the road is not deserted, and there are groups of pedestrians coming and going not far away.
This is just right, Ling'er can blend into the crowd unscrupulously, so as not to be lonely and difficult on the road, someone to accompany and talk, and listen to their nonsense from all over the world. Moreover, there are many people who are safe, and there is no need to hide and hide.
Today, with Ling'er is the grandson who delivered the goods, driving a two-headed mule pulled by a cart, two half-new big wooden boxes on the car, I heard the old man say that it was for the master to send things to the son-in-law's family, because there are not many things and they are not heavy, so there is space for Ling'er to take a ride, and by the way earn some tea money.
Ling'er sat in the back of the cart, leaning on the wooden box as a chair, looking at the pedestrians next to her who were tired and panting, but couldn't keep up with the pace of the cart and gradually fell behind. It feels really good to see others working hard and relaxing, and Ling'er has a feeling of schadenfreude.
Now she is a man, and if she sees a handsome young girl on the side of the road, she will whistle lightly, and throw a wink at other people's girls and daughters-in-law.
All the way over, he made the girl and daughter-in-law on the side of the road blush, and looked at her with shame and anger.
Ling'er laughed happily and happily! It's so enjoyable! I didn't expect it to feel so good to flirt with a woman from a good family, why didn't God let me dress as a man? What a shame!
Hey, there are a few graceful little daughters-in-law in front, Ling'er's eyes are shining, lying on the edge of the car waiting to see the front, the old man's grandson looked back and whispered something to the old man.
As soon as the old man reined in and stopped the carriage, he turned around and said solemnly: "Bai Gongzi." If you continue to make trouble like this, the old man won't dare to carry you, so you might as well go by yourself! ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment. Hurriedly accompanied by a smiling face: "Grandpa Song, don't be angry, aren't I idle and bored to tease them?" I won't really do anything to them. ”
The old man stretched his face: "What happened to them." Alas, I saw that you were young, and you looked quiet to carry you, but I didn't expect you to be a good learner, alas! ”
Seeing that the old man was really a little angry, Ling'er hurriedly put away the hippie smile, took out a silver ingot and offered it with both hands: "Grandpa Song, it's me who is not good, can't I make trouble?" I'll go to Lotus City. Let's just stop by, you should help send me to the city gate, please, Grandpa Song! ”
The old man glanced at the silver ingot, there were at least ten taels, which was not a small amount for him, alas, for the sake of the silver, let him bear with it for the time being! The old man took the money with a straight face and put it in his arms. Only then did he swing the whip and drive the cart on.
Ling'er stuck out her tongue at the old man's back and made a grimace, just when she was seen by Song Xiaodi who turned around, Song Xiaodi stared at her with a strange face, and Ling'er smirked embarrassedly. beckoned to him: "Little Brother Song, hello!" ”
Little Brother Song snorted coldly and turned his head away, and scolded in a low voice; "Gentleman. How many stinky money are there? ”
Ling'er shrunk her neck, has her image been ruined to this point? It seems that Fang Cai has indeed gone too far. She looked down at her own size, could it be that I inherited all the dirty bloodlines of the Jiang family?
Old Man Song looked up at the mountains in the distance. said to Brother Song: "It's almost time to Lotus Mountain, I hope I don't meet a hundred flowers." ”
Ling'er's ears are tipped, what is Baihuajiao? She leaned in and asked, but the pair ignored her.
After walking a little further, there is a small inn in front, and people come and go at the door of the inn, but those people look a little strange. Old Man Song turned his head sideways and said to Ling'er: "Bai Gongzi, crossing the Lotus Mountain is the Lotus City, let's rest in that inn for a while!" ”
"Okay, Grandpa Song, you have the final say."
Seeing that Ling'er was quite respectful, the old man nodded slightly. The cart came to the door of the inn and stopped, and the old man said to Brother Song: "You go and change your clothes, let's go and drink tea and wait for you." ”
Brother Song didn't say a word, took the burden and left first. Waiting for the old man to tie the mule, Ling'er carefully observed:
I found that all the guests who went to the direction of Lotus Mountain would enter this inn, and the older ones would sit down in the hall or drink tea or eat, but the young men were all nervous, and they would hold a burden and ask Xiao Er to change clothes in the room, and some would also ask for a half-old who stood on the inside of the hall and was dressed up in a fancy way!
Yes, it's the half-old, who are greased and powdered one by one, and the makeup has to compete with the Qinglou women, and they are all over thirty years old. And the people they brought in were all young men under thirty, and some seemed to be only in their teens.
What's going on? Ling'er was dumbfounded, and looked at the entrance of the back hall.
Xiao Er brought tea and snacks, and when he saw Ling'er in men's clothes, he immediately came over with a smile on his face: "Childe, do you want to change your clothes?" How about finding a good aunt for you, who is young, and making sure to dress you up beautifully? ”
Xiao Er winked at Ling'er as he spoke, and he could see that she had goosebumps all over her body. She stepped back and shook her head: "Don't, don't!" ”
Xiao Er looked her up and down in surprise: "It's the first time I've seen a handsome son who doesn't change his clothes, it's really weird!" ”
Xiao Er muttered and walked away, Ling'er squeezed her eyebrows and grimaced, thinking that you are the weirdos, all of them chattering. She turned around and saw that Old Man Song was drinking tea and eating by himself with a calm face, and he didn't even look over there, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
Ling'er thought for a while, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Song, what is Baihuajiao?" ”
The old man looked at her, turned his head away and did not speak. Ling'er is a scoundrel, pointing her ears to listen to the people next to her.
"Hey, I heard that Baihuajiao is going down the mountain again today to choose a husband, is it true?"
"Who knows? When did these people pass by and not say that? But I have to make ten or eight trips here every year, and I haven't even seen what a hundred flowers look like. ”
"Also, Baihuajiao only goes down the mountain once a year, how could she run into it so coincidentally?"
"Oh, don't say that, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you really meet it, you will be unlucky!"
One of them lowered his voice and smiled meaningfully: "I heard that Baihuajiao is a beautiful woman, if she really likes her, it may not be a bad thing, right?" The so-called peony flower is also a ghost and a ghost, if Baihuajiao can take a fancy to me, I will never resist, and immediately go with her. ”
"Forget it, just like you, there's no need to give it to others."
The man was unhappy: "You look good, you are handsome, why didn't you see Baihuajiao take a fancy to you!" ”
His suddenly raised voice attracted the sideways glances of the people around him, and the man coughed embarrassedly: "What do you see?" (To be continued......)
