Chapter 196: Appropriate
No one in the car broke the silence.
Song Yunzhu, who has always been lively and cheerful, also seemed a little taciturn at the moment. If the person next to her was not Yuan Muhua, if it were someone else, she would definitely talk and laugh with him, but in a cramped and narrow space, facing this person alone made Yun Zhu a little at a loss. She chose to close her lips tightly, and she didn't even dare to make eye contact with Yuan Muhua.
"Song Niangzi, I heard that you want to move away?" In the end, it was Yuan Muhua who broke the silence.
Yunzhu only nodded.
"Oh, how do you want to move if you live well?"
"I want to get more development." This sentence Yunzhu has already used it to deal with many people.
When Yuan Muhua heard that Yunzhu was leaving, his heart, which was still excited, became a little sad at this moment. At the beginning, he chose to stay in Huaishu Village because of Yunzhu, and even tried to live next to Yunzhu. Later, Yunzhu and Ping'an became a couple, and he never wavered in his original intention, thinking that as long as he could watch her from afar.
But when he heard that she was leaving, he suddenly had no intention of continuing to stay in Huaishu Village, and thought about leaving. But it's not good to say it in front of Yunzhu at this time.
Along the way, it was Yuan Muhua who asked, and Yunzhu replied. The two of them seemed much more alienated than before. Yuan Muhua himself clearly felt that Yunzhu was avoiding him, and the two would never be able to return to the beauty they had when they were able to make friends.
Later, both of them were speechless, and sat there with different thoughts. finally entered the city, Yuan Muhua was naturally embarrassed to follow Yunzhu all the way. The two agreed on a meeting place, which was the Qingfeng stone bridge where they got off.
The two cherished each other.
Yun Zhu was bent on rushing to Qingshan's brother-in-law's shop as soon as possible. She wasn't very familiar with the city. Although I have been here a few times, I have always left after finishing my errands. She didn't have the excellent ability to discern direction like Ping'an, so she walked a long way. She had to ask someone for directions.
When I arrived at Brother-in-law Qi's shop, it was almost time. Brother-in-law Qi was sitting there dozing off when he heard Yunzhu ask him. Before he could figure out the situation, he rubbed his eyes and asked, "What size duck do you want to buy?" ”
Yun Zhu deliberately wanted to tease him, and said with a smile: "Come on a six-pound one, either fat or thin." ”
"Where can you find a six-pound person who is not fat or thin, aren't you embarrassed?" Brother-in-law Qi said and went over the ducks hanging on the wall. Yun Zhu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Brother-in-law Qi heard Yun Zhu laughing, so he looked at Yun Zhu a few times and was completely awake.
"It's you!"
Yunzhu smiled: "I scared you." ”
Brother-in-law Qi said: "It's okay." I've been waiting for you since I had someone talk to Aoyama. ”
"Is that convenient now?"
Brother-in-law Qi thought that business had not been good recently, so he didn't plan to open the door in the afternoon, so he closed the store and invited Yunzhu to sit at his house for a while.
Wang is already very familiar with Yunzhu. Let her daughter's nickname be called the orchid maker and pour tea for Yunzhu. She went to the kitchen again and was busy making a simple meal for Yunzhu.
Yunzhu traveled for a long time and brought some dry food with her, but she didn't take it out to eat, and her stomach was a little hungry, so she was not polite when the food was served. When she had a bowl of rice, Brother-in-law Qi came with Lao Ji.
As soon as Yunzhu put the dishes and chopsticks down, she said that she would ask Brother-in-law Qi and Lao Ji to wait for her to see the house.
Wang was still beside him and persuaded: "You can eat some more." ”
Yunzhu smiled: "I'm already full, thank you sister for your hospitality." She is still called the same as Wang Qingshan.
Wang is a very kind and gentle woman. It's very comforting. Yunzhu wants to move in the future, and it is indispensable to move around.
Lao Ji led the way, and Brother-in-law Qi led Yunzhu to Tonghua Lane.
Yunzhu followed them through the streets and alleys. I don't know how long it took, Lao Ji finally stopped in front of a mansion, he took out the key and opened the door. There are two paulownia trees with the thickness of a bowl at the mouth of the alley, no wonder they are called this name.
The iron ring on the door was rusty, and it looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time.
When you push the door in, the first thing that catches your eye is the tall and quaint plane tree in the yard.
Lao Ji pointed to the tree and Yunzhu and said, "I heard that this tree has lived for more than a hundred years. ”
"No wonder it's so big."
Brother-in-law Qi said in the back: "There are more trees that are more than 100 years old, and there are still ancient trees on our Dacang Mountain that have grown for three or four hundred years. ”
Lao Ji smiled: "That's what grows in the wild, and there are fewer like this in the yard." ”
Yunzhu looked around, this house met her requirements, there were three rooms on it, with left and right wings and ear rooms, and two upside-down rooms. Some of the vines on the courtyard wall have already pulled out their young leaves. There is a well not far away. It's still there.
Lao Ji opened the door of the main hall and invited them to sit in. However, there was nothing in the house, and there was nowhere to sit. Yunzhu followed Lao Ji through all the houses, and he was quite satisfied. It's just that if you buy it, you still need to repair it well, and you have to create a suitable piece of furniture.
"This lady, are you still satisfied?"
Yun Zhu smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Lao Ji was even more confused, and turned back to look at Brother-in-law Qi. Where does Brother-in-law Qi know Yunzhu's thoughts, he shook his head lightly at Lao Ji.
Lao Ji hurriedly said: "Out of this alley, turn left and walk less than a mile There is a market, you want to buy vegetables, the meat is very convenient." Passing through two alleys to the right, it is the route we came to, and there are many shops along the way, so we have what we want. The location is excellent. ”
"How long has it been since you lived?"
"It's been a year. This house belongs to my brother, and their family does not live here, because my eldest nephew has been promoted, and their family has followed him. entrusted me with the sale of this house. ”
Yun Zhu listened to it quite satisfied, but it was not easy to show it. After looking around again, he nodded, "I don't know how to sell it?" ”
Lao Ji saw that there was a play, and he smiled even more kindly: "I am a cheerful person, so I will give a refreshing price." Just a hundred taels. ”
Brother-in-law Qi was dumbfounded in the back, one hundred taels is enough to buy one more than this. Is this old man asking for a sky-high price? The Feng family shouldn't be able to afford it. I heard that their family didn't even have a noodle shop, and now they mainly rely on selling ducks, and how much money can be made from ducks. He knew it best.
Yun Zhu looked very light-hearted, and said with a smile: "Then I'll pay back the price, how about it?" ”
Lao Ji said: "Of course." ”
"Let's make a discount then."
"Fold in half?"
"yes. At the beginning, our family bought half a barren mountain at this price. Your house just has some advantages in the position, and there are not many other advantages. You said you wanted a hundred taels. I should be able to find a better house with a hundred taels, isn't it, brother-in-law? Yun Zhu smiled at her brother-in-law.
Lao Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this title, thinking that these two people are close relatives? It's hard to hide it now. There was a somewhat uncomfortable look on his face.
Brother-in-law Qi nodded, and immediately sold Lao Ji.
Lao Ji hurriedly said: "But fifty taels is too low, you have to give a little more." ”
Yunzhu smiled: "We are all croppers. I don't have that much spare money, and it's not easy to earn every one. Let's each give in. ”
Brother-in-law Qi didn't intervene much on the side, and he could hear the two bargaining,
In the end, Yunzhu insisted on pressing the price to sixty taels. But Lao Ji still let me fill in. It took Yun Zhu a long time to add five taels.
"Sixty-five, I can't ask for anything more."
Lao Ji finally accepted the price, afraid that Yunzhu would regret it, so he gave a part of the deposit first. Yun Zhu said in her heart, fortunately, she brought a silver ticket out.
The three of them had to go back to Qi's house to draw up receipts.
When Yunzhu left, the Wang family also entrusted Yunzhu to bring a bag of things to her mother's family. Yunzhu gladly accepted.
"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you."
Brother-in-law Qi hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”
Yunzhu smiled: "Help me find a craftsman to repair the house, and then help me inquire about the furniture or something, and when I come to pay the final payment, I can choose the furniture." ”
"Good. I'm familiar with these ways. ”
Yunzhu saw that it was not early, so he hurried back to Qingtang. The Wang family originally wanted Qi's brother-in-law to send Yunzhu. But suddenly a friend came to him. Yunzhu said: "It's okay, I can roughly recognize the road." No hassle. ”
She and Yuan Muhua also agreed to meet at Qingfeng Bridge. She hugged the burden that Wang let her carry, and walked in a hurry, not wanting to delay for a moment.
She looked at it, and went out of this alley, and kept going forward, and then through an alley there was a wide street, and after that, a short walk to the east was the Qingfeng Bridge. It's not complicated.
Just when the street was about to come to an end, Yunzhu faintly felt that she was being followed, thinking that she was about to reach Qingfeng Bridge, she couldn't make any trouble at this time, and she had to walk a remote road ahead. The steps under her feet were a little weak, and the first thing that came to her mind was peace. If she was safe, none of those young people would dare to approach her.
Yun Zhu was busy going around in circles trying to get rid of the nasty ghosts who were following her, and went around and around, watching the sun go west little by little, and Yun Zhu's heart continued to rub down, but she was afraid that she would not be able to return to Qingtang before dark.
Just when Yunzhu was thinking of countermeasures, someone suddenly pulled her to run away.
Yunzhu was frightened and wanted to escape, but when she looked up, she saw that it was Yuan Muhua. Yunzhu's flustered heart was slightly settled. Yuan Muhua was alert and followed him into a cloth village.
Yunzhu's heart was pounding fast. Yuan Muhua let Yunzhu hide in the corner, and he looked out at the scene, and he was relieved until the people who were following him were completely gone.
"How do you know I'm in trouble?"
In fact, Yuan Muhua was following Yunzhu all the way, and he naturally couldn't say it, so he said nonsense: "I waited for you at the bridgehead for a long time and didn't see you, so I had to come out to look for you, only to know that you were in trouble." They're gone, don't be afraid! ”
"Then let's go."
Yuan Muhua walked in front to inquire about the situation, Yunzhu followed behind him, and the two went out of Buzhuang. From the shopkeeper to the guys, they didn't know what was going on.
When this happened, Yunzhu looked at the sky and said anxiously: "Can we still return to Qingtang safely?" ”
"It can be a little difficult to get there before dark. It doesn't matter to me, do you choose to find a place to stay for the night, or are you in a hurry to get back? ”
"There is only my mother-in-law at home, if I don't go back, she will definitely be very worried, so let's go."
Yuan Muhua said: "If you go to hire a car now, you may not be able to catch up, it just so happens that there is someone I know in the city, maybe I can help him." ”
"Well, I'll listen to you."
Yuan Muhua saw Yunzhu's anxious face, and tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, my friend has some ability and friendship with me, and he will definitely be able to send us back to Qingtang smoothly." ”
Yunzhu now had no choice but to believe in Yuan Muhua, and at this time, she was fortunate to have accompanied her on this trip by Yuan Muhua.
Yuan Muhua took Yunzhu to visit his friend, praying that the friend would always be at home.
After walking about a stick of incense, the two settled in front of a quiet house, Yunzhu looked up, and there were two big official books on the door plaque "Liao House". On the stone pier sat a servant.
Yuan Muhua stepped forward to ask, Yunzhu stood below, the two of them didn't speak loudly, and she couldn't hear it very clearly, only to see the servant waving his hand to Yuan Muhua, and said in his heart, Oops, it seems that it is not possible. Otherwise, it might be more reliable for her to beg the general's wife.
The servant asked Yuan Muhua to sit inside, but Yuan Muhua said, "Since Mr. is not at home, then I still don't bother." ”
The servant said, "Please wait a while, the little one will reply and the wife will come back immediately." ”
After the servant left, Yunzhu asked, "Is there no play?" ”
"We'll see." Yuan Muhua's face was calm and light, and he was not in a hurry at all.
After a while, the servant came out, followed by an uncle with a long beard. said to Yuan Muhua and Yun Zhu: "Please come with me." ”
This side has already prepared a fast horse for them and set the carriage.
The uncle and the coachman said a few words, Yuan Muhua asked Yunzhu to get in the car first, and here he talked with the uncle a few more words.
Yunzhu sat in the car, but she was still apprehensive in her heart, hoping to arrive smoothly.
"You can rest assured that you will be able to arrive before dark. This road is all official roads. ”
"That's better. I'm sorry it's all my relationship that delayed you. ”
"Don't take it personally." Yuan Muhua said very mildly.
The atmosphere in the car is more harmonious than when it came.
ran all the way, and finally returned to Qingtang during the shift, and Yunzhu had a false alarm. She paid the coachman, but the coachman waved his hand and said, "Lady, please take it back, we are under orders." ”
Yunzhu said that he would keep him for dinner and clean up a room for him to live in, but he had to rush back. Yunzhu had no choice but to give up.
When she got home, Yunzhu told her mother-in-law about the house.
Mrs. Feng said, "It's going well." You are decisive in what you do. ”
Yunzhu didn't want to continue to worry about this matter, so he said, "Hey, I think it's not bad, so it's settled." Wait a while and pay the rest. By the way, it is also good for people to hit the furniture. ”
However, Mrs. Feng still felt that Yunzhu was too anxious, and then looked at how good other families were. (To be continued......)
