Chapter 249: Return to Beijing

(Recently, the collection has gradually risen.,It's gratifying.,This book is the longest porridge written.,I hope it's over this year~~)

This winter, because of a few snowfalls, it is a little colder than in previous years, but the huge capital, still people come and go, not long after dawn, the street vendors at the city gate pΓΉ, has gradually become lively, in the early morning mist, the city gate has been opened, not a small crowd outside the city gate lined up, orderly into the city. Three or five porters drove five donkeys carrying charcoal and slowly walked into the city, and in this kind of weather, there was no shortage of such fine charcoal.

At the end of the procession into the city, there stood a woman leading a horse, wearing a red cloak, which stood out among the gray people, but her face was completely hidden in the hood, making it impossible to see her appearance.

The team moved forward slowly, and soon arrived at the woman in the red cloak, who had to pay ten copper coins to enter the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were waiting to collect the money, and glanced at the person in front of him at random, and his eyes were straight.

The woman in the red cloak was naturally Lu Wanwan, she reached out and took out ten copper coins from her arms, and her green fingers pinched the copper coins, which were indescribably good-looking.

"Official, collect the money." Lu Wanwan's red lips opened and closed, and his voice was slightly low, reminding the officers and soldiers who were obviously distracted in front of him.

The officer and soldier suddenly woke up, but his eyes were still staring at Lu Wanwan's face for a moment, and he took the copper coin with a rather demented look.

Lu Wanwan gave the money, lowered his head expressionlessly, tightened his hood again, and quickly led the horse into his mind.

It took a long time for the officer and soldier to really come to his senses, and he turned back to look for Lu Wanwan's figure, but the Yiren had long since disappeared.

"Eh, did you just see that?" The officer and soldier didn't care about the money anymore, and poked at a companion who was dozing off beside him.

The companion had apparently not slept well last night, and had been sleeping with his eyes closed, but now he was woken up, and replied impatiently, "What's the matter, what are you doing, I'm sleepy." ”

"What are you sleeping, I saw the fairy daughter just now, I have grown so big, I have never seen such a beautiful woman." The officer and soldier smashed his mouth and mouth, as if he was reminiscing, and said in an exaggerated manner.

The companion didn't think so, looked at him and mocked: "I think you are daydreaming, what about the fairy daughter, the fairy daughter can run around the street." ”

The officer and soldier were angry, and said unwillingly: "What a fairy daughter, very beautiful, you haven't seen ......."

"I didn't see it, what can I do if I see it, I have to rush it home, that fairy daughter is a person in the sky, but it's not something that people like us can covet in the mud, if you want a woman, I'll take you to the alley of the division at night, maybe you can meet your fairy daughter."

The officers and soldiers who ridiculed indiscriminately didn't expect that the "fairy daughter" in their mouths really arrived at the alley of the company.

Lu Wanwan hurried all the way back to the capital, she had calculated the distance of the carriage, and Li Yufen and her party would have to return to Beijing at least two or three days later than her, so she wanted to go back to the church first.

Lu Wanwan stopped in front of the alley for a while, looked down at the outfit on his body, and still didn't choose now. She pulled out her sleeves, and there were less than ten taels of silver left. On the way back, he sold the horse to Jian Yu, although it was a good horse, but because she was in a hurry to use the money, she only sold it for twenty taels.

Lu Wanwan pinched the scattered silver, sighed helplessly, and felt as if he had returned to the innocent appearance when he was just reborn, and put the silver back away, and was ready to find a place to sell the horse in his hand again.

There are a lot of horse shops in the capital, Lu Wanwan found a relatively large home with a fair price, gave the horse to the guy to go in to inspect it, and sat in the hall outside waiting for the money.

Lu Wanwan had just drunk a cup of tea, and a graceful and luxurious woman walked in at the door, with a slender figure, wearing a lilac wind and a hat.

Lu Wanwan glanced at it casually, but as soon as the woman took off her hat, she realized that it was an acquaintance.

The woman took off the wind on her body, revealing a lotus-colored ripe Hu Luo cardigan top, with a pair of bee chrysanthemum gold buttons at the neckline, a moon-white horse-faced skirt, decorated with a three-inch wide black bamboo embroidered skirt, the top of her head was not distributed, and a pair of gold-inlaid gemstone passionflower hairpins were inserted in the sideburns, and the hair bun was run through it with a long and flat ivory hairpin, which was simple and atmospheric.

When the man from Ma Xing saw the visitor, he immediately greeted her, and said to her cautiously: "Madam, why did you come here today, and you didn't say hello in advance, so the villain let people go to the door to meet you." ”

The woman handed the wind to the little maid behind her, and then said with a pleasant face: "Today I went to Huangjue Temple to make incense, and when I came back, I passed by the road, so I came in to take a look, and the business has been good recently." Saying this, she walked around the hall a little, there was no one in the hall at the moment, only Lu Wanwan was sitting on the chair alone, her eyes naturally stopped on Lu Wanwan, and then the more she looked, the more surprised the look on her face became.

The woman has been in a dignified manner since she entered the door, but at this time, she was faintly out of shape, and walked quickly in front of Lu Wanwan with her skirt, looking at her fixedly, her lips opened, as if she wanted to ask something, but she was a little hesitant.

Lu Wanwan was much calmer, thinking that she had been recognized anyway, and she had no intention of hiding it anymore, so she stood up and said to the woman in front of her: "The folk girl has seen Mrs. Zhang. Lu Wanwan didn't call out the woman's name, only called her husband's surname.

Mrs. Zhang, who is also Lu Qianchen, listened to Lu Wanwan's address to her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at her for a while before she pretended to be calm and asked, "This girl, I don't know if I can take a step to speak." ”

Lu Wanwan nodded noncommittally, and followed Lu Qianchen into the inner room of the horse shop.

Lu Qianchen dismissed the maids beside him, and then suppressed his feelings, and asked in a trembling voice with some excitement: "Fourth sister, is it you?" ”

Lu Wan didn't answer, only silent, the Lu family seemed to be a long time ago for her, and she didn't expect that someone would call her "fourth sister" in this life.

"You still recognize me as a sister?" Lu Wanwan looked at Lu Qianchen with a smile and asked, his eyes playful.

A look of guilt flashed on Lu Qianchen's face, and he asked slowly: "Fourth sister, do you blame me, if I had persuaded my mother again, maybe ......?"

"I don't blame you, what right do I have to blame you, the eldest lady is not my biological mother, she has no obligation to save me, you interceded for me, I want to thank you." Lu Wanwan smiled and said indifferently.

Lu Qianchen looked at Lu Wanwan's pale side face, her expression was a little trance, she knew that her sister was good-looking since she was a child, because of her childish jealousy when she was a child, she would also bully this timid sister with her sisters, but since the Lu family suffered that catastrophe, she seemed to grow up overnight, after she returned to her grandmother's house, she has always felt guilty about this sister, if she insisted on it in prison at that time, her mother might take her away together, and she would not have to fall into the dust......

Lu Wan looked at Lu Qianchen in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she hadn't seen her for so many years, and it was normal for Lu Qianchen to feel emotional.

Lu Qianchen woke up from his memories, and then looked at Lu Wanwan and asked, "Fourth sister, how have you been doing all these years?" Is it still there......" Lu Qianchen was obviously embarrassed to say the word Jiaofang, so he just used it instead.

"I'm already good." Lu Wanwan naturally understood what she meant, and only replied lightly.

When Lu Qianchen heard this, he seemed to be relieved, and the look on his face was much more relaxed, and he asked with a smile: "That's great, that's great, then where do you live now?" Did you come here to buy horses? ”

"No, I'm here to sell horses." Lu Wanwan ignored the first question, and directly picked someone who was willing to reply.

Lu Qianchen was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes became complicated when she looked at Lu Wanwan, and after a while, she hesitated and said: "Fourth sister, if you have any difficulties, just tell your sister, no matter what, I will help you, we ...... It's a sister. ”

When Lu Wanwan heard this, she raised her head and looked directly at Lu Qianchen, her eyes were a little weird. Lu Qianchen was a little uncomfortable with her, and couldn't help but stagger her gaze.

"Mrs. Zhang, have you thought clearly, you want to think that this sister, recognize me, the sister who has been in the teaching workshop for so many years, I know that the person you marry is also a court official with status and knowledge, and you will definitely be able to get a decree in the future, are you sure you really want to recognize me as a sister, no matter who you are in front of in the future, you have to introduce me as your own sister, you can, think clearly." Lu Wanwan looked at Lu Qianchen and asked indifferently, but there was always a hint of playfulness in his dark eyes.

Lu Qianchen was stunned, she felt as if her throat was blocked by something, but the simple word "sure" couldn't be spoken, Lu Wanwan's eyes seemed to have insight into the filth in her heart, now there are only the two of them, she naturally recognizes her sister without any scruples, but if it is in front of those ladies, she is afraid that she will not be able to avoid it, if they know that she has such a sister, I am afraid they will never associate with her again.

"Mrs. Zhang, have you figured it out, if you do, don't say those stupid things in the future." Lu Wanwan squinted and smiled, her smile was leisurely, but there was also a hidden mockery, she could see that Lu Qianchen felt guilty and sympathetic to her, maybe she didn't find it herself, her posture of talking to her has always been high, with a little charity, but what she Lu Wanwan needs most is charity and sympathy.

"If Mrs. Zhang has nothing to say, then I will take my leave." Lu Wanwan stood up, put on his hood, and prepared to leave.

Lu Qianchen also got up in a panic, grabbed her anxiously and said, "Fourth sister, wait, I think you misunderstood me, I really want to help you." ”

Lu Wanwan was pulled by her, so she had to look back at her, there was no expression on her face, she just looked at her indifferently.

Lu Qianchen always couldn't look directly into Lu Wanwan's eyes, those eyes were obviously very beautiful, and the pupils were dark, as if they could suck people in, but she felt that these eyes could see the bottom of people's hearts.

"Thanks, it's just that I don't need your help." Lu Wanwan said lightly, took Lu Qianchen's hand off his sleeve, and then walked forward without looking back.

Lu Wanwan walked out of the inner room, and the guy who had just received her to sell horses suddenly greeted her, holding a money bag in his hand, handed it to her and said, "This girl, this is the silver you sold for horses, you take it." ”

Lu Wanwan checked it, estimated that there were at least thirty taels in the money bag, then smiled, took out ten taels of silver from it, threw it into the hands of the guy and said, "Reward you." After saying that, he walked away, leaving only the man holding the silver in his hand in a somewhat stunned manner, with a strange expression.

At this time, Lu Qianchen also walked out, and when she saw the guy standing at the door in a daze, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Where was the girl just now?" ”

When the guy saw Lu Qianchen, he immediately lowered his head and replied, "Mrs. Hui, that girl just left." After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The villain originally came to see that she was a guest of Mrs. You, and deliberately added two percent of the silver she sold for horses. After speaking, he showed the ten taels of silver to Lu Qianchen.

Lu Qianchen glanced at the silver, didn't say anything, only frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and let the guy go down to work. She walked outside the door and stopped to watch, but where could she still find Lu Wanwan's shadow.

Lu Wanwan actually didn't go far, she got the silver, so she turned into a ready-to-wear shop not far away, bought a cotton robe about the same size as her, plus shoes and socks, and spent a total of twenty taels of silver. Although she was distressed, she still paid the money very happily, and she never gave in to these clothes to be worn closely.

After leaving the ready-to-wear shop, Lu Wan went to the rouge shop again, bought some rouge gouache and dai pens, and found a nearby inn to change his appearance.

Half an hour later, Lu Wanwan came out of the inn, and she had already regained her appearance as a young man, and the women's dress she was wearing was also put away by her and put it into her baggage.

Lu Wanwan called a car and went back to the workshop. When she returned to the workshop, she was still a little apprehensive, because when she left at that time, she only left a message for Qin Qin, and this time it was more than a month, thinking that Qin Qin must be dying in a hurry, and she had to teach him a lesson.

Not long after Lu Wanwan entered the workshop, Qin Qin knew about it, and she came to her in a hurry, and when she saw Lu Wanwan, she was obviously relieved, and then she immediately made a tiger face and pulled Lu Wanwan to her room.

Lu Wanwan naturally didn't dare to make a sound, so she obediently followed Qin Qin and went to her room. (To be continued.) )
