Chapter 45: Saving My Brother and Asking for a Pink Ticket
Wan Ning was talking to Jiao Wuying while looking at the layout in the teahouse.
Jiao Wuying is the old shopkeeper in the end, and he has cleaned up finely, and everything is arranged properly.
After all, he couldn't help but say a few words to the nurse, Wan Ning and He sat down, and the shopkeeper Jiao retreated with someone.
"How's Mother?" Wan Ning said in a low voice.
He shook his head and immediately nodded with red eyes, "I heard about Miss Seven's side, and the lady was very happy. ”
Wan Ning said: "Why didn't my mother come to Taixing?" "Since the nurse can come, the uncle can also bring the mother.
He sighed, "The lady is worried about making trouble for Miss Seven, Miss Seven is in a bad situation in the Yao family, and the lady knows it." ”
Mother is still worried about the Yao family.
He Shi looked outside as he spoke, "Miss Seven came out by herself, how could the Yao family agree." ”
Now the Yao family can't trap her anymore.
Wan Ning smiled: "As long as I want, I can go out in the future...... After the nurse went back, she told her mother that even if she didn't want to come to Taixing now, she would have to move out of the family nunnery, and we mother and daughter would be able to meet soon. ”
Meet?
What the lady can't think of, can the lady really see Miss Seven again?
He Shi opened the burden in his hand, and inside were all kinds of purses, belts and several sets of obscene clothes, "These are all made by the lady herself for Miss Seven." ”
I don't know how long my mother has been sewing with stitches and threads, Wan Ning picked up a purse, and the warm feeling spread from her fingers to her heart.
Ever since her mother left, she hasn't missed her for a single day.
Wan Ning remembered something and looked at the nurse with a smile, "The nurse still remembers that you used to hum a song when I was sleeping." ”
He nodded. "Remember, I was heard by the lady. And said I ...... Don't teach bad miss. ”
Wan Ning laughed and repeated the song he sang:
"A daughter sat on the bow of the boat. She went down the river in search of her hometown.
A daughter sits on the bow of the boat, and she thinks about returning to her hometown.
A daughter......"
The song seemed to bring her back to the past......
"Our Taixing Building hasn't opened yet." Shopkeeper Jiao's voice suddenly interjected and interrupted Wanning.
Immediately after that, someone exclaimed.
What's going on?
Is someone coming to Taixing House to buy something?
Wan Ning looked at Mother Tong, who didn't have time to take a look.
The door was pushed open in a hurry.
There was a man standing in the doorway.
The sunlight was blocked by him, and Wan Ning began to see clearly, and when he took two steps forward, Wan Ning couldn't help but be stunned, how could he come here.
A teenager in a green shirt. Following the voice, he stepped into the door and met her eyes.
Wan Ning didn't expect to meet Cui Yiting at this time.
She arranged everything properly, ensuring that no one would know that Taixing Building was opened by her, maybe she relaxed her vigilance when she saw the nurse just now.
But she still let Shopkeeper Jiao watch outside...... Just now, she obviously heard the voice of Shopkeeper Jiao blocking it.
Why did Cui Yiting still break in regardless of it.
Cui Yiting's gaze fell directly on her face, as if he wanted to see something on her face.
"Who are you? What song did you just sing? ”
Cui Yiting's eyes were slightly deep, as if he was eager to get an answer from it.
Wan Ning couldn't help frowning, Cui Yiting obviously saw that there was a female dependent here. But she didn't avoid it, and she felt strange when she thought about it, as if Cui Yiting didn't know her.
rescued her from the Yao family, and there was also a quick glimpse in the Li family. Even she recognized him, how could he still look like that when he looked at her for a long time.
Wan Ning didn't speak, but quietly looked at Cui Yiting. Her profession makes her good at reading love from other people's expressions, but this Cui Yiting ...... But she couldn't understand it.
Bewildered, questioned, fleeting eagerness. Like a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake, it is hidden in those calm eyes. He had many secrets that were difficult for her to unearth, and no matter how much she looked at them, he didn't reveal them.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Cui Yiting's feelings seemed to calm down, "Excuse me, what's the surname of the owner here?" ”
He has no manners like this.
She didn't have to answer him here either.
It was uninvited, and I wanted to hear some answer from her mouth.
Until she figured out his intentions, she wouldn't speak lightly.
Seeing that Cui Yiting's entourage also entered the door, Wan Ning turned her head, and Mother Tong and He Shi hurriedly stepped forward to escort Wan Ning out of the teahouse.
left Cui Yiting's sight.
Wan Ning looked at Tong's mother and whispered: "If you talk to Shopkeeper Jiao, you will say that the owner of the teahouse is surnamed Zhao." ”
This was set by them from the beginning, as long as others asked, they said that the teahouse was opened by someone surnamed Zhao.
Shopkeeper Jiao was already frowning, "We said a long time ago, the guest officer shouldn't break in, what should we do if we startle our family's daughters?" The guest officer is a talent, and he should not be the one who does this kind of thing. "The person who came looked like a talent, and he was dressed like a son, so he didn't care very much.
I didn't expect to break into the door like a scoundrel.
Shopkeeper Jiao's face became even more unceremonious when he thought about it, and he instructed the little servant, "Invite the guest officer out!" ”
Cui Yiting didn't seem to care about the blunt tone of his tone, if he hadn't heard the Yangzhou tune that he was familiar with, he wouldn't have involuntarily barged in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the female dependents in the house.
The female dependent did not panic but looked at him quietly, and then Shi Shiran turned her head and walked out with her subordinates.
Although he did not let his subordinates reprimand him for his rudeness, it was obvious that he would express his displeasure.
"It's me who is abrupt," Cui Yiting said, turning his head to look at the shopkeeper Jiao, "Excuse me, the owner is from Yangzhou?" ”
Shopkeeper Jiao shook his head, "Our owner is from Shanxi. ”
From Shanxi, how could he speak with an authentic Yangzhou accent, especially the song that the young lady sang just now, which he had been looking for.
He had come to buy pastries, but he heard the singing at the door.
No matter where it was, he had to take a look and see if it was the person he was looking for.
It's a pity that the shadow in my memory is too vague. It can't be corroborated.
……
Mother Tong sent the little maid forward, and the little maid said two words in the ear of the shopkeeper Jiao.
Shopkeeper Jiao looked at Cui Yiting. "The guest officer has to wait until our Taixing Building opens, and the guest officer asks about our owner. I can only say that we are the Zhao family who opened a tea shop in Shanxi. ”
Zhao family.
"Fang Cai's female dependent's surname is not Jiang?" Cui Yiting remained silent.
Shopkeeper Jiao shook his head very affirmatively, "No, surnamed Jiang, did you ask the wrong place?" ”
It's either asking the wrong place, or finding the wrong person, otherwise none of the questions asked can match. Jiao Wuying breathed a sigh of relief, at first he thought that this son was coming for the owner, but now it seems that it should be a misunderstanding.
Wan Ning looked at Cui Yiting through the curtain, why did Cui Yiting think her surname was Jiang? He burst in because he heard something outside the door.
At that time, she was singing a little tune taught by her nursing mother. Cui Yiting broke in because he heard this?
This Cui Yiting is full of eccentricity.
"I'm sorry," Cui Yiting looked at Chen Bao, "The silver is for the shopkeeper, and I will let you take the refreshments from your family, and this will be the fixed money." ”
Thinking that you can enter the door casually when you buy something, I can't say that this master is a child of an official family, Jiao Wuying has seen too many such situations, and the meritorious reputation of the official looks down on businessmen.
Fortunately, the owner had something to say first, so he could raise his eyebrows at this time.
"I'm sorry." Jiao Wuying said, "Our family's refreshments are not for sale, and when the restaurant opens in the future, the number of tea sent out will be limited." If you want, come early to buy tea. ”
"Not for sale?"
Jiao Wuying smiled, "Don't sell it." Not much silver is sold. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said that he would not sell it.
No matter who is here, it seems that there is no way.
I came to Taixing Building to buy a box of dim sum, just because this dim sum is very chic. I didn't expect it to be so hard to buy.
Cui Yiting had never heard of such a business.
The refreshments are obviously chic but not sold.
This teahouse also opened strangely, and Cui Yiting looked deeply in the direction where the talented lady left. What kind of person is the owner?
……
Listening to Cui Yiting's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Wan Ning returned to the teahouse.
"There are a lot of people here, Miss should go back!" He Shi's face turned pale with fright.
Wan Ning didn't expect such an episode.
At Li's house, she was still waiting at the door to see Cui Yiting, but this time he came to the door.
"Nurse, what song did you teach me?"
He Shi was stunned for a moment and said: "It's a song sung by Yangzhou women in private, but I don't have a good voice, so I learned this song that others don't like to learn." ”
Cui Yiting is because of this song.
Wan Ning only thought of this, and heard the voice of the subordinate outside, "Mrs. Uncle is here." ”
Why did my aunt come?
"Mother, I'm going to see my sister."
Brother Kun said as he broke free from the nurse and ran into the door.
When he saw Wan Ning, he immediately pounced.
"Sixth Master, you can slow down." The nurse shouted again and again.
"Sister, sister, look at the jade pendant that my mother bought for the two of us, you are half and I am half." Brother Kun held a mutton fat jade in his hand, and patted his neck with the other hand, revealing a half-red line knot Ruyi buckle under the collar.
"My aunt didn't meet anyone else, did she?"
Cui Yiting just went out.
"No, no, I was going to take you over to sit down, but I heard that someone came, so I took Brother Kun to take a look," Mrs. Shen Si said and looked around, "What about people?" ”
Wan Ning said: "It's gone." ”
"Is there anything wrong? I was so scared that I was sweating. ”
Even she couldn't figure out what Cui Yiting was doing, so naturally she couldn't explain it to her aunt, so she could only say, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
He Shi next to him was surprised.
Even if the lady is here, she will be surprised, why the sixth master is so good with the seventh lady, it is difficult to achieve it because of her sister and brother. He silently read in his heart, Amitabha, the Buddha blesses, the mother's suffering is not in vain.
Wan Ning was looking at He's expression, He's eyes were red, excited and happy, as if she was happy to see their sister and brother close.
Now Wanning can be sure that Brother Kun is her own brother, and now that she has carefully looked at it, Brother Kun has traces of her father's eyebrows on his face.
Wan Ning and Brother Kun talked for a while, He called Brother Kun over to pick up the purse, and Mrs. Shen Si took the opportunity to say to Wan Ning: "The eldest uncle of your clan is here." ”
Mrs. Shen Si wanted to speak and stopped, but Mother Tong took two steps back, and Mrs. Shen Si continued: "Your uncle said." The magistrate of Taixing County found us some food......"
"Uncle is talking about Lord Zhu?"
The Zhu family who is very close to the Yao family's three rooms?
Mrs. Shen nodded.
Wan Ning suddenly turned up and picked up Mrs. Shen's hand. "Uncle, go back and talk to your uncle. In any case, it can't be related to the Zhu family. ”
Wan Ning's voice was very low, and Mrs. Shen Si could barely hear it clearly.
"Does my aunt know that the patrol of the imperial history has arrived in Taixing, and she wants to check the grain, in case Lord Zhu's master wants to sell the grain, wouldn't our family collude with the government......"
Wan Ning tried her best to let Mrs. Shen Si understand, "My sixth uncle has become the grain chief, and the sixth aunt has long wanted to sell grain to the Shen family, and the grain involved with the grain chief is not Caoliang, what is it?" ”
Mrs. Shen Si figured it out now. "I'll go back and tell your uncle that even if you offend the clan, you must not buy food."
That's right.
If the Yao family and the Zhu family collude, it will definitely not be as simple as just selling food, and maybe when they are cornered by the imperial history, they will also arrest the Shen family as a scapegoat.
This is the usual method of the government.
It is not so easy to deal with the Shen family under her nose.
If Mrs. Zhu and the Shou family dared to do this, she would let them compensate their wives and soldiers.
Wan Ning and Mrs. Shen Si talked for a while, and the hour was not too early to prepare to go back.
Brother Kun took the corner of Wanning's clothes and refused to leave. Wan Ning handed the book brought out from the second room of the Yao family to Brother Kun, "Don't break the book, when you finish studying, my sister will give you a few more books." ”
Brother Kun nodded seriously.
Kun Ge pulled Mrs. Shen out of the door. The servants had already prepared two carriages.
"Mother, let's go first, Brother Kun wants to look at my sister from the window."
Wan Ning smiled: "Let's go together." After crossing the street, I changed trains. "This way I can say a few more words to Brother Kun.
Kungo obediently got into the carriage. Soon opened the curtain of the carriage and beckoned to Wanning.
The carriage crossed the street and stopped in a small alley, and Wanning changed cars. Then the two carriages galloped out one after the other.
Wanning sat on the cushion and thought about Taixing Building, now that the teahouse is ready, she can let the shopkeeper Jiao start collecting rice.
When I thought of this, I could only hear a noise outside.
The sound of panicked horses' hooves was heard, followed by an exclamation.
Wan Ning lifted the curtain and looked out.
The street had begun to be chaotic, and a few people on horseback rushed towards it at the sound of the sound.
The person who rode in front arrived next to the Shen family's carriage, and was stabbed in the back of the heart by the thrown knife, blood splattered, and he immediately fell down.
The horses of the Shen family were restlessly lifting their hooves, and the subordinates who were driving the car couldn't hold down the panicked horses.
The people who followed the car hurriedly took the aunt and Kun Ge in the carriage next.
Mother Tong clenched her hand tightly, "Miss, let's get out of the car too...... Hurry up ......"
The carriage was in the middle of the road, and the horses were bound to be frightened by the people rushing towards them.
As soon as Wan Ning opened the curtain, a few people behind rode up to her.
The crowd shouted again, "My child." ”
The person running at the front suddenly bent down to take out a child from the crowd, and before everyone could react, he threw it at the person behind.
The child fell straight down without even exclaiming, but the man behind him reached out and grabbed the child's shirt and lifted it to the horse's back.
Only then did the child let out a shocking cry.
The man who threw the child was clearly not ready to stop, and swept into the crowd again.
The man had already arrived in front of the Shen family's carriage on horseback.
Mother Tong closed her eyes in fright, and grabbed Wanning with one hand, "Miss, don't look at it, don't look at it." ”
flint in the electric light.
Wan Ning followed the man's gaze and saw Brother Kun on the side of the road.
Brother Kun was already stunned with fright, his eyes fixed on the crying child.
If the man reached out and grabbed Brother Kun and threw him backwards, would the person behind him be able to save Brother Kun like he grabbed the child.
"Brother Kun......" Wan Ning shouted, and saw that the person arrived.
It's too late, it's too late to wait.
What should she do? What should I do?
A rush of blood rushed into her brain at once, Wan Ning pulled the curtain, snatched the reins from the stunned coachman, and "drove the ......"
……
Pei Mingzhao held down the crying child, and the dead man in front bent down again, ready to take people from the crowd again, when suddenly the carriage in front rushed over, and the horses neighed.
The carriage stopped impartially in front of the dead man, who failed to restrain his horse and fell off his horse.
Pei Mingzhao stepped forward and stabbed with a sword, the tip of the sword leaked out of the chest of the dead man, and the blood suddenly fell to the ground drop by drop.
Everyone watched this scene, and even the child on the horse stopped crying.
When the dead man fell softly, Pei Mingzhao raised his head, and there was a woman standing on the carriage in front of him, wearing a goose-yellow gown and a pale cyan dress, pulling the reins tightly, looking at the qiē in front of him.
His facial features were not yet childish, his eyes were dark and clear, and there was no fear in his eyes, he picked up the corner of his skirt and jumped out of the car, pulling a five or six-year-old child on the street into his arms.
A teenage woman is not afraid at all.
"Lord Hou......"
Hearing the shout, Wan Ning raised her head, and there was a man and a horse standing not far away, the man was tall and proudly straddling the horse.
