Chapter 133: Going Out and Meeting
As soon as he heard that someone from the Shi family was coming, and others were okay, Liu Wan lowered his head first.
Liu Ke glanced at her, and his heart was a little mixed.
On the one hand, she didn't want to see Liu Yan disappointed and sad, and on the other hand, she knew that Shi Yan was likely to be valued by the royal family, and when the time came, Liu Yan and Shi Yan would inevitably be beaten with sticks.
At this time, a well-dressed mother-in-law had already walked in.
When Shi saw it, he smiled first: "Mama Cheng, why are you here in person, if there is anything, send a little girl to say no." Mama Xin quickly held on and looked at the seat. ”
Mama Cheng is the housekeeper next to the sister-in-law of the second old lady of the Liu family, and she used to serve the old lady of the Shi family, and now she is the most faceable grandmother in the Shi family.
As soon as Mama Cheng entered the door, she leaned over to salute Shi's family, and was supported by Mama Xin beside Shi's side.
"Our eldest old lady heard that you have returned to Beijing recently, don't you miss it, let me come over this morning to ask when you are free, our eldest old lady will give you the wind and dust in the Pleasant Garden, I heard that you have taken the granddaughter of the big house to the capital, our eldest lady is very eager to see it." Mama Cheng sat down on a small pestle as she spoke, and reached out to take the teacup handed by the girl.
When Shi heard this, he smiled and said: "I really miss me as my sister-in-law, but it turns out that I am the one who is thinking about me, you go back and tell your sister-in-law that I am free at any time during this time, and when she will invite me, I will take two nieces and nephews who are like flowers and jade to meet her." ”
At this point, Mama Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Or our old lady knows you, she guessed that you would say this, and she has long been waiting for you, saying that the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is a good day." And counting the days, the spring flowers in the Yixin Garden should also bloom, if you have no opinion, you will take the two young ladies over that day. ”
"Since the sister-in-law has arranged it, then I might as well be respectful." Shi Shi looked at Liu Ke and Liu Yun who were sitting beside him, and said with a smile.
Mama Cheng stood up. He handed the teacup in his hand to the girl, and saluted: "In this case, the slave and maid will go back to our eldest lady." ”
"Yuru," Shi Shi glanced at the girl beside him.
Yuru hurriedly put a heavy purse in Mama Cheng's hand.
Mama Cheng looked at the purse in her hand, smiled, and said, "What do you say?" Let you break the bank again, so the slave and maid will take their leave. ”
"Mama Xin, send Mama Cheng for me." Shi said with a smile on his face.
Mama Cheng walked out of the room backwards, and left with Mama Xin.
The smile on Shi's face slowly retracted, and he took a deep breath. Immediately, he put on a small face and said to Liu Ke: "Since the old lady of the Shi family has the intention to invite, you and Wan'er will also go to play for a day." Today is the second day of the third month, and there are still a few days before the sixth day of the new year, so you can walk around first and familiarize yourself with the customs of the capital. ”
"Yes!" Liu Ke said.
Liu Ke was about to go to his shop to see how Shopkeeper Duan was doing, and by the way, he went to ask Wang Wu what was going on on the street today.
The next day was a sunny day, and Liu Ke asked Shi for good morning. He smiled and said, "Uncle and grandmother, I want to go around the street today and prepare some gifts for a few cousins of the Shi family." ”
After Shi listened to Liu Ke's words. smiled: "Okay, it's good that you can think of this, let's go shopping, it doesn't matter if you can't find a suitable one, go to the warehouse at home to choose." ”
Liu Ke nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Liu Ke didn't mention Liu Yun, she was planning to go out alone. I didn't plan to bring Liu Wan with me.
And Shi didn't ask, but said: "Yuxiang is a girl after all." I'll let the guards follow you in a moment, and then I'll send the best coachman in the house, Lao Tan, out with you. ”
Be on the safe side. Shi's arrangement was very proper, and Liu Ke knew that he couldn't refuse, so he agreed with a smile.
She didn't plan to stay in the store for a long time, but to see how her store was running now, and just say a few words to Wang Wu.
Liu Ke only lived in the capital when she was a child, and she had long forgotten the scene at that time, and now she is the first to arrive in the capital.
She was not familiar with the roads in the capital at all, and after she told the coachman the address that the shopkeeper Duan told her, she had to be taken by the coachman.
Fortunately, the coachman did not slip, and walked for about half an hour.
Liu Ke stood under the door number and muttered: "Hengqing Silk Weaving Line, this is it!" After she finished speaking, she said to the guards and coachmen who came with her: "You wait here, I will go in and see if the Yunjin that was set yesterday has arrived, and I will come out in a while." ”
The two guards looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes!" ”
Liu Ke brought jade incense and jade leaves into the store.
At this time, Shopkeeper Duan was busy with Wu Yi and Wang Wu in the store.
As soon as Liu Ke entered the door, Shopkeeper Duan recognized her, and was about to step forward to say hello, but when he saw Liu Ke's gesture hinting, he stopped.
Wu Yi and Wang Wu also immediately noticed the girl who was following Liu Ke, and knew that it was inconvenient for Liu Ke to recognize them at this time, so they just stood aside and watched without speaking.
Wang Wu suddenly remembered what Liu Ke told her yesterday, so he quietly walked to the back, and after a long while, he walked out again, and came to the shopkeeper Duan and didn't know what to say.
Liu Ke pretended not to know them, looked around, and after a while she walked to a pile of silk brocade and said, "Boss, is this a soft smoke?" Is it really delicate to look at? ”
"The girl is right, it's Soft Yanluo." Shopkeeper Duan also pretended not to know Liu Ke and asked, "How many zhang do you want to come?" If it's getting warmer day by day, it's best to use it as a bed tent. ”
Liu Ke said in a kind way: "Okay, then let's come to Liangzhang!" ”
"Girl, you are a layman, if you want to make a bed tent, two zhang is not enough, at least four zhang." Shopkeeper Duan said and measured the four zhang with a wooden ruler, and said, "You see that the four zhang is so much, and I cut it off for you?" ”
Liu Ke nodded and said, "Intercept it." ”
Shopkeeper Duan folded the intercepted soft cigarette and put it in Liu Ke's hand.
Liu Ke suddenly felt that there was one more thing in her hand besides Soft Yanluo, so she put Soft Yanluo on the counter and said, "Yuye, you take it, Yuxiang settles the account." ”
She said as she tucked something into her sleeve.
Liu Ke picked out a few more pieces of silk with elegant colors and bought them before leaving.
After arriving at the car, Liu Ke opened the hidden thing in his sleeve to check.
She saw a small note in her hand, on which only one sentence was written: The child she saved yesterday was the son of a deceased friend, whose father was killed, and his mother was unjustly imprisoned, and there was no one else to take care of him.
After Liu Ke read the words on the note, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After a long while, I picked up the note again, and found that the handwriting on the note was vigorous and powerful, and the pen was strong, and it was a rare good word.
This Wang Wu is really incomprehensible.
In the past, Liu Ke just felt that although he was a martial arts practitioner, he was quite smart, but now it seems that Wang Wu is by no means a simple grass.
Looking at his words, he should be a systematically educated person, how could he fall into the grass?
Liu Ke was thinking about the preliminary trial, when he suddenly heard a long howl from the horses outside, and the carriage shook violently and stopped.
Liu Ke violently opened the curtain of the carriage and found that she was surrounded by an unfamiliar alleyway, and the coachman had fallen under the carriage due to the violent bumps of the carriage.
In front of her car stood a row of four men in black.
Apart from these four men, there was no one else in front of or behind her carriage.
Liu Ke's heart couldn't help but mention his throat.
Looking at the two guards again, although they were in front of Liu Ke's carriage, they saw that their legs were already shaking with fright, not to mention protecting Liu Ke, it would be good to be able to save their lives.
One of the four men in black didn't know the one and said, "Our master wants your young lady to sit down, and you have to obey, and if you don't obey us, you will be beaten." ”
The two guards trembled their legs and their teeth squeaked, but none of them answered.
Liu Ke knew that if no miracle happened today, she would be in a catastrophe, so she opened the curtain and said from the black-clothed man standing in front of her car: "Who is your master, why did you invite me, since you said that you should be good to me, say an address, and I will go over myself." ”
Several people in black never thought that Liu Ke would say such a thing, looked at each other, and did not speak.
At this time, one of the men in black said, "It would be best if Miss Liu was willing to go with us." ”
Liu Ke simply dropped the curtain and said coldly: "Then let's go!" Coachman rushes the car! ”
As she spoke, the carriage began to move slowly forward.
At this time, Liu Ke didn't know where he would be taken, let alone what the ending would be.
After walking about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped.
After the carriage stopped, Liu Ke lifted the curtain again, and found that the guards who had been following her were gone, even Yuxiang and Yuye were gone, and only the four black-clothed people and Lao Tan who were driving the car were left standing in front of her.
And Lao Tan was already so frightened that he couldn't get off the wheel.
"Miss Liu, get out of the car!" One of the men in black stood under Liu Ke's car.
At this time, Liu Ke realized how reckless it was for her to agree to come with them just now, but there was no turning back when she started work, she wanted to see who wanted to see her.
At this moment, she lifted the curtain and suddenly saw the familiar black carriage parked not far from her carriage.
She hesitated, poked her head out of the carriage, and was about to get out of the carriage, when her carriage was struck by someone from behind, and the horse was frightened and ran away like the wind.
Liu Ke panicked, and quickly grabbed the car door so that he was not thrown out.
She threw herself back and fell back into the carriage.
In a short time, her carriage left the black carriage far behind, and after a while, there was no shadow of the black carriage at all.
At this time, she heard the sound of pulling a horse "hoo~huh~huh~huh~" from outside the car.
Liu Ke frowned, this voice is so familiar! (To be continued)
