330. 324: Placement of He Lao
With Lu Mengyao beside him, Tang Li didn't have anything to say to Nangong Jue, the three of them sat there in a weird atmosphere, except for Nangong Jue, he could still calmly close his eyes and recuperate, Tang Li and Lu Mengyao are you looking at me, I looking at you, and their eyes are full of embarrassment.
"It's here!" With a shout from Hua Yuying outside, the carriage stopped, Tang Li was the first to get out of the car, and then helped He Lao down with Hua Yuying, while Bai Yuzhu, who followed behind, had a depressed face, as if he had been beaten.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Li couldn't help but ask.
Bai Yuzhu shook his head: "No." ”
Nothing? Tang Li pursed his lips, Bai Yuzhu didn't know how much he usually looked beaten, right? No matter what, he is the kind of thief who smiles brightly, as if no one can do anything about him, now this kind of depressed look is rare, can Tang Li not notice?
Hua Yuying saw Tang Li's doubts, and wanted to tell Tang Li about the car and solve her doubts, but Bai Yuzhu seemed to be a roundworm in Hua Yuying's stomach, and she knew what to say as soon as her mouth moved, and when Hua Yuying was about to speak, Bai Yuzhu suddenly said: "Yuying, you are a good girl who is honest and trustworthy." ”
This inexplicable sentence made Tang Li dizzy for a while, when did the love words between them develop to praise each other's conduct? But Hua Yuying was suddenly reminded, and quickly shut up.
"Nerves." Tang Li helped He Lao to walk towards a dilapidated ancestral hall, muttering in his mouth.
Lu Mengyao and Nangong Jue also got out of the carriage, looking at this dilapidated and narrow place, the two of them were not uncomfortable, they were used to it, whether it was the bamboo house by the river or the current post station, it was not a good place, Nangong Jue looked at He Lao, who was trembling and walking with Tang Li's support, and also had a trace of doubt about He Lao's identity in his heart.
"Aren't you looking for a place for the elderly to live? How to get here? Lu Mengyao was a little puzzled.
After hearing this, Tang Li turned around and replied: "He Lao lives in the ancestral hall here, I am going to find a place for him to live nearby, after all, he has lived here for a long time and is familiar with the surroundings, if he suddenly goes to live in a strange place, he will not be adaptable." ”
He Lao next to him heard Tang Li's words, the smile on his face warmed a lot, Tang Li thought about him, the old man he had just met, there were really not many such good girls, he said gratefully: "Miss Tang, you are really a good girl, if anyone marries you in the future, it will be a blessing!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, Lu Mengyao's eyes were a little lost, even this old man said that Tang Li was good, and it was false to say that she was not jealous, she peeked at Nangong Jue's face, but Nangong Jue just stared at Tang Li, as if waiting for her answer.
"I'm already married...... Tang Li replied in a voice as small as a mosquito, the question that could have been answered in a dignified manner, because he didn't want Lu Mengyao to be too uncomfortable, he could only say it in a very small voice, but instead he was like a thief.
After He Lao heard it, he didn't understand the reason why Tang Li was whispering in time, and asked in surprise: "Are you already married?" Who did you marry? Who is so blessed? ”
Tang Li wiped his sweat silently, He Lao, you are so good at talking, she answered so aggrievedly, so quietly, can't you hear her deliberately? Tang Li's glass heart, she looked back, and sure enough, Lu Mengyao's face turned a little paler.
Although this girl is simple and lovely, her heart and eyes seem to be smaller than Tang Li's, Tang Li has always thought that she is definitely a person who can't tolerate sand in her relationship, but now that Lu Mengyao is so big with sand, she is about to blind her eyes, she actually tolerates it everywhere, Tang Li feels that he seems to have become a little too much.
She didn't realize that she just had a deep love for Nangong Jue, because she loved someone very much, so she wouldn't think of selfishly dominating him regardless of his feelings.
"Well, let's hurry up and find a house, and we will move you when we find it." Tang Li hurriedly opened the topic.
He Lao began to feel guilty again: "It's too troublesome for you, you are so kind, good people have good rewards......"
Tang Li was congested again, she had enough unlucky things along the way, not at all like a good person with a good reward, she walked into the ancestral hall, as soon as she entered, she saw some statues and signs in front of her, the perennial smoke was smoky, the walls in the ancestral hall were blackened, and so were the statues and signs, and in the messy ancestral hall, there was a pile of straw in one corner, and a black quilt was spread on it.
Tang Li and He Lao didn't know each other, but seeing this environment, she couldn't help but feel sorry for He Lao, she was old enough to live in this kind of place, and she was really in charge of this idle matter.
"Leave two people to take care of Grandpa He, and the others will go out with me to find a house." Tang Li helped He Lao to sit on the quilt made of straw, and then said to Bai Yuzhu and them.
Bai Yuzhu immediately raised his hand: "Yuying and I stayed to take care of it!" ”
is so positive, Tang Li's suspicion of Bai Yuzhu has deepened again, Bai Yuzhu today is really strange, he is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person, why is he so kind?
"Sister, just me and Bai Gongzi will take care of Grandpa He." Hua Yuying naturally stood on Bai Yuzhu's side without hesitation.
Tang Li waved his hand helplessly: "Whatever you want, Nangong and I will go and find them." ”
Nangong Jue looked at Tang Li coming over, and then said to him, "Let's go." ”
"Hmm." Nangong Jue actually wanted to stay and ask He Lao about something, but Bai Yuzhu had already stayed, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, plus Tang Li asked him to go to find a house together, he felt a little unable to refuse, this was not the first time, Nangong Jue had already felt that he could not refuse Tang Li's request several times.
The three of them walked out of the ancestral hall, there are deep alleys outside, there are a lot of alleys in the capital, extending out to the street, and there are yard houses on both sides, Tang Li is also a little confused, she has only lived in an inn, and has not rented a house.
"You can't find it like this, right?" After walking for a while, Lu Mengyao spoke.
Tang Li had already knocked on the doors of several courtyards at random, asking if there were any empty houses to rent, but they were all forced out with a kind of neurotic look, most of them were lived by their own families, where did they come from to rent a house? Tang Li touched the wall several times, and he was a little afraid to knock on the door.
Lu Mengyao felt that it was not a way to find it like this.
"It's better to find a reliable inn, and then place He Lao there, if he lives by himself, eating is a problem, and if he is in the inn, Xiao Er can send him food on time, and he doesn't need to clean, there is Xiao Er to clean, and give the inn some silver every month, and ask them to take care of He Lao, isn't it?" Lu Mengyao said.
After listening to it, Tang Li felt that it made sense, although it would be more expensive, but they were not short of money now, so why bothered so much? And He Lao can't see with his eyes, no matter how good the house is, it will be inconvenient for him to live alone, because no one will take care of it.
"What you said makes sense, why didn't I think of it?" Tang Li suddenly became happy, she smiled at Lu Mengyao, her tone was very sincere and her smile was very bright, she was not deliberately indifferent because of the relationship between Lu Mengyao and Nangong Jue, she said with a smile: "Then let's go to an inn and ask first." ”
Nangong Jue's cold eyes fluctuated because of Tang Li's smile, she smiled like sunshine, and she could always dissolve the frost he had accumulated lightly, and Lu Mengyao's smile was also very bright, but he didn't have the feeling that Tang Li gave him, no matter how many times he saw it, he would be amazed.
It was as if someone took a small hammer and gently knocked it on the ice in his heart, shattering a corner.
After deciding to place He Lao in the inn, Tang Li's goal became clear, and he walked out of the alley to find an inn to ask, and the shopkeeper answered cheerfully, but Tang Li hesitated, because she saw a little second person carrying the dishes upstairs, but she reached out and carried a piece of the dish into her mouth.
And the shopkeeper didn't scold him when he saw it, Tang Li felt that there was this kind of shopkeeper and Xiao Er's inn, and He Lao was here alone, and they couldn't keep an eye on him every day, and it was estimated that He Lao would be taken advantage of or bullied.
"Can't you?" Lu Mengyao walked out of the inn with Tang Li and asked.
Tang Li told the two of them his thoughts, Nangong Jue's eyebrows were slightly raised, she was quite careful.
"Let's go to the Fulai Inn, you've stayed there too." Tang Li suddenly spoke.
There she also met with Lu Mengyao, at that time Tang Li always felt that the room next door was weird, but now that I think about it, it was a very magical telepathy, Nangong Jue was in it at that time.
"Hmm." Nangong Jue's answer from beginning to end was a "um" word, Tang Li looked at Nangong Jue and sighed, turned around and took the lead towards the Fulai Inn, Fulai is not far from here.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er of the Fulai Inn have a good memory, and after seeing Tang Li and them, they greeted them very politely, and said, "Didn't you come to find this son?" Found it now! ”
"Uh-huh." Tang Li scratched his head with a dry smile, and then explained that although the food here is not very delicious, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper are not ordinary to talk about good or bad, but they have lived there several times, and they don't feel like that kind of treacherous person.
"That's right." After pondering for a while, the shopkeeper replied, "Yes, but it will be a little more expensive, because I still have to deliver food and the like, and I can ask someone to help him bathe." ”
Tang Li wanted this answer, and she nodded happily: "It's okay to be expensive, but you must take good care of him." ”
"Of course! Take money to do things, how can a person who does business not pay attention to credit? The shopkeeper replied, he has been doing business for so many years, going south and north, how can he not see that Tang Li and his party are not ordinary people? Just make more friends.
"Okay, thank you!" A big stone fell in Tang Li's heart, and she said to Nangong Jue and Lu Mengyao: "Let's go, let's go back and pick up Grandpa He!" ”
