Chapter 43: News
While the three of them were talking, two delicate maids wearing light green gowns and combing their temples came in, each of them holding a tray of mahogany carved hibiscus flowers in their hands, and their faces were smiling, which was very pleasing.
The little girl with a round face on the left is holding two cups of tea in a tray of fine white porcelain, and the one on the right has two cute dimples in a smile, and the tray is filled with four exquisite snacks.
The two Jinling sisters, who were also girls from rich and noble families, don't look at the tragedy at home now, the wealth of the past has become yesterday's clouds, but the eyesight they should have has not disappeared because of this.
Jin Ling can see it at a glance, don't look at this pair of fine white porcelain tea cups, look ordinary, but just look at the smooth and bright glaze of the porcelain cup, it is not ordinary.
Yinling is a little younger, and when she is greedy, she can naturally see that whether it is chestnut yellow, osmanthus cake, or five-kernel sesame cake and a bite of crisp, they are all selected good materials and refined.
Just smell the fragrance and know that it must be delicious, several snacks are good in color and flavor, Yinling couldn't help swallowing saliva, and it was easy to control his hand, and he didn't take a piece of osmanthus cake back.
The two maids who came to serve the allegation, although they were not very old, neither of them were more than ten years old, but they behaved very well, and after finishing their errands, they did not look curiously, and retired to the door.
The two of them estimated that they were not far away, probably guarding nearby.
The wooden shopkeeper has been in business for many years, and has long been contaminated with the habits of a businessman.
From the reaction of the sisters. Roughly summed up, this is a pair of smart and immature little girls.
The vigilance in my heart couldn't help but disappear a little.
I felt that Yinling's appearance of wanting to eat and being afraid of making people laugh was a little more similar to my granddaughter.
couldn't help but smile and persuade: "You sisters, don't be polite, we will have more time to deal with each other in the future, just treat me as an uncle." β
"Come, try our Cuifeng Tea House first, the famous jasmine sweet tea. and a few brilliant snacks. β
Jin Ling nodded with a smile. "Hey, thank you for the hospitality of the shopkeeper, but tea or something. It doesn't hurt to wait. β
"The little girl wants to finish the errand sent by my young lady first. That's why I have the heart to do something else. The good taste of this tea and dim sum can be more real. β
Yinling didn't speak, but nodded in approval.
The wooden shopkeeper saw that the two of them were so persistent. obviously wants to eat very much, but still puts the master in front, and the loyalty of the single round is worthy of praise.
He said slowly: "In this way, the old man will not delay, and dare to let the two girls know that the two families that Miss Cui Jiu is looking for, one of them, does not have any news." β
"And the other one found out a little bit of news, but this news is not good news"
The wooden shopkeeper has handled a lot of things, and he has seen a lot of tragic things, and he is also accustomed to the incident in front of him, and he doesn't feel how miserable it is, and even the voice of the voice is not mixed with superfluous feelings.
It's just simple and straightforward, just stating a fact.
But the two sisters Jinling and Yinling are different, and it has been three months since the two of them came to Cui Wanqing's side.
Because of the life experience that the two of them made up at that time, they were very pitiful, so as soon as they entered the Cui family, they were greatly cared for by Fang's mother and others, and the nature of women is always to pity the poor and the weak, and unconsciously, they treated the two of them specially.
The two sisters, who were tragically wiped out in their family, traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to find their fiancΓ©, and the prospects were blank along the way, and there were pursuers behind them, and they were struggling on the line of life and death at any time.
It's really as desperate as you want, and it's mild to say that you've tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and it's like desperately breaking free from hell.
Later, they found Liang Dong easily, although the living environment has been greatly improved, and the food and clothing are also good, but Liang Dong is a rough man, and he follows the master every day on an errand.
How much care and thoughtfulness can there be? Jin Ling and her sister are still lonely and lonely, and they are worried that they will not be able to avenge their blood revenge, so they spend almost every day in trepidation.
It wasn't until after the arrangement of the good prince that they entered the Cui family to protect Miss Cui Jiu, and in the face of the enthusiastic care of everyone in Qingyuan, the two of them finally felt the warmth of the world again.
This kind of friendship obtained under the strong contrast is really not easy, but after seven or eight days of hard work, the Jinling sisters and Fang's mother and Yulan gave birth to a sincere affection.
As soon as he heard that the news was not good news, the anxious Yinling blurted out and asked, "Wooden shopkeeper, is this news about Brother Li or about Fang's mother?" β
"Well, it should be Fang's mother's family." The wooden shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said: "I look at the husband's family of Fang's mother and eldest sister, whose surname is Gu, right?" β
"What we found out is the news about the Gu family."
After hearing this, Yinling almost jumped up, after all, for Brother Li, she had only heard that Mother Fang was the one who had been taking care of the two sisters.
This is not good news, and Silver Bell is in a hurry.
But she was dragged by Jin Ling, she glared at her sister with warning eyes, and asked the wooden shopkeeper with a smile, "Mu shopkeeper, whether this news is good or bad, we have to know." β
"You also know that Mother Fang is the grandmother of my young lady, and my young lady has a deep relationship with her master and servant, and she is also very concerned about this matter."
"You see, our family hasn't been cleaned up yet, and our sister has been sent to you to ask for news, which shows how important this matter is to our young lady."
"So please tell our sisters about everything."
The wooden shopkeeper holds the Cuifeng Teahouse in his hand, and he is generous in his hand, and he is not a stingy person, and he has always flattered his boss.
Therefore, I got private guidance, and I knew that this Miss Cui Jiajiu was very likely to be their future housewife.
How important does this have to be?
On weekdays, I can't catch it if I want to, but this time it was a big cake from the sky, and it was directly on his head!
Isn't this work done very dedicatedly?
This will listen to Jin Ling's words, the wooden shopkeeper will not hide anything, and will tell things one by one.
It turned out that the address given by Fang's mother did once live in a family surnamed Gu, but this family had a disaster three or four years ago.
It was actually overnight, and the family fled!
Because their family left very suddenly, they didn't say hello to anyone, and the neighbors around them didn't know where their family had moved.
Therefore, this clue, which originally had great hope, was so simple and rude that it was tied into a dead knot. (To be continued......)
