Chapter 10 Preparing to Move
Liu Jing was fastening her belt, and when she heard this, she turned around and said, "Mother, remember to call me Wenjing in the future." Then she replied, "Yes...... I didn't want to hide these details from my mother, and I was thinking now that I didn't do it secretly this time, and I was always worried that those prodigals would leak the news. Liu Jing put on her clothes, hung a jade pendant around her waist, gritted her teeth and said categorically: "Mother, let's sell this house." This time he repaid his debts, and he had a balance of seventy-five taels of gold, which should be a little left after expenses, plus the money from this house and the silk village, which could be used to rescue his father. ”
With that, she walked up to Liu's mother. While helping his mother in thought, he pushed open the door and walked out. Suddenly opening the door, she found that it was snow-white outside...... It was on the day and night that she slept to death that it snowed heavily. The snow was so thick that it covered all the trees and houses in the yard, and when I looked up, there was only a vast white patch.
Seeing the heavy snow, Liu Jing spit out a breath of hoarfrost, turned to Liu's mother and explained softly: "Mother, I think so, after the New Year, our family will live in Wu County, one can help my father nearby, and the other can avoid disaster." After a pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go to the outskirts of Wu County, rent a small yard to live in, and I will think of a way to solve the livelihood in the future." ”
She looked at Mother Liu seriously, "Mother, you have to believe me, this time I can get 1,500 gold, and when I go to Wu County, I can also support this family." She lowered her eyebrows, covering her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse, "I can do it!" At this time, Liu Jing couldn't help but think of the black-clothed leader's mocking words, 'You, it's really disappointing.'
Mother Liu's heart has been chaotic for a while, and after thinking about Liu Jing's words, she thought to herself: Those prodigals are characters who kill people without blinking, can't let them find here, can't let them hurt my Ajing. Thinking of this, she quickly nodded and responded, "Okay, everything is up to you." "Speaking of which, Liu's mother has only lived in Yanghe County for a few years, and this is not her hometown, so she has no concept of being inseparable from her homeland.
After getting Liu's mother's consent, Liu Jing arranged it. She approached the broker and offered to sell the Liufu and the shop called Silk Village.
However, this sale was never in a hurry, and Liu Jing only waited at home after hanging out the sign.
Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, coupled with the heavy snowfall, Liu Jing thinks that those prodigals are the hometown of Zhilu Dao, and they will not rush over on this snowy day where the carriage and horses can't go. Therefore, their family can spend a year with peace of mind.
On the day when Liu Jing was asleep, Liu's mother, who was good at housekeeping, had already taken the remaining dozens of taels of gold, arranged it for her own house, and added some things for the winter and New Year. Now, the heavy snow continues to fall, and the people of Liufu will not be frozen and hungry.
On this day, after Liu Jing played the piano for a while, she walked to the window, rubbing her hands with breath, and looked at the white earth outside in a daze.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
Uncle Wang walked behind Liu Jing gently, and after a while, he called, "Da Lang." ”…… got Liu Jing's instructions, and now everyone in Liufu calls her Dalang. When the servants asked about Liu Jing's whereabouts, the unanimous statement was that she married to Poyang County.
Liu Jing didn't look back, but said in a low voice: "Uncle is looking for me?" ”
Uncle Wang looked at her thin and tall back, and said in a dumb voice: "Da Lang, that Duke Gu is now an important minister of the court, what do you say about the lord, can you find him?" ”
Liu Jing smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Uncle, Gu Gongyuan is in Luoyang." ”
"But, didn't Gu Jiaerlang say that he came to Wu County? If we find Gu Jiaerlang, maybe he will be willing to help in the face of the deceased. "Uncle Wang only said, 'For the sake of the old man', but did not say, 'For the sake of your unmarried couple'.
It's been six years, but he still remembers it vividly. That year, when the eleven-year-old Liu Jing coaxed the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Gu Jiaerlang around, deceived him into falling into the trap, and the next day he was rescued by pretending to be righteous and dying together, that Gu Jiaerlang was so gentle to Liu Jing, the tip of his nose was red at the beginning, and he obviously cried quietly. But everything about this beautiful road, when he knew that the road was Liu Jing's play from beginning to end, the young man's ugly face made him, a bystander, tremble.
Until now, Uncle Wang still clearly remembers the eyes of Gu Jiaerlang when he clenched his fists and stared at Liu Jing with a blue face, that look was full of hatred and boundless anger, as well as boundless humiliation and pain!
That look was so terrifying that Uncle Wang still remembers it vividly. Therefore, he couldn't believe that Gu Jiaerlang could still have the love of the year when he faced Liu Jing!
Liu Jing pondered for a while and replied, "As soon as the snow stops, we will go on the road." At that time, you and Uncle Wu will go to Luoyang to ask Gu Gong for help, and the other will go to find Gu Erlang. I'll take care of the rest. ”
Uncle Wang nodded and said, "That's the only way." The two chatted for a while before Uncle Wang said goodbye and left.
Liu Jing came out of her mind for a while, and then walked towards her room. When she was the second sister-in-law of Liufu, she had a study, but she had to do everything without leakage to achieve anything. Isn't the second sister-in-law of Liufu 'married' now? As an elder brother, Liu Wenjing can't go back to his sister's room. So Liu's mother opened up her original study with another side room and turned it into Liu Wenjing's bedroom.
Liu Jing walked all the way through the bare boulevard, stepped on the thick snowdrifts, and returned to her room unhurriedly with the sound of 'zzi'.
Closing the door, she walked over to the table, on which a copy of the Female Commandment was placed in a dignified manner. As a book that has been with her for nearly six years and has been copied countless times, Liu Jing is really impressed by it.
Picking up the book, Liu Jing flipped over the corners of its yellow and curly hair, sighed lightly, threw it into the brazier in the corner of the room, and watched the flames rise to the ground, and then gradually extinguished after burning for a while, Liu Jing's warm eyes revealed a touch of coldness - this thing, can't help her save her father, can't help her settle her mother and sister, what's the use of coming?
On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the sky finally cleared.
As soon as the sky cleared, Liu Jing took two servants to the street.
On Yanghe Street, there is a thick accumulation of ice and snow that has just begun to melt. Countless thin-clothed commoners shivered out of their homes and wandered the streets with their hands rubbed together, as if they could find some money to alleviate their current predicament of food and clothing.
Seeing Liu Jing coming from a distance, whether it was the neighbors or these ordinary shopkeepers, they were all looking at her and pointing at her. As Liu Jing approached, a voice floated into her ears from time to time, "This is the Da Langjun of Liufu?" "You're so handsome." "He's a very talented one. His father was in debt of 1,500 taels. As a result, the eldest man of the Liu family earned enough money to pay off his debts in only three months, and there was still a surplus. "What a great boy."
While everyone was talking, they looked respectfully at Liu Jing who was walking slowly. From ancient times to the present, people who are really capable will always be respected, and the current Liu Jing, in the hearts of these neighbors, is also such a talented young man.
When Liu Jing passed by a bun shop, the middle-aged shop owner rubbed his hands and grinned: "Liu family man, come out for a walk?" ”
Liu Jing turned around, she nodded politely to the shop owner, and smiled, "Yes." Almost as soon as her smile bloomed, the eyes of the women around her became swishing.
The steamed bun shop owner coughed, continued to rub his hands and grinned: "Liu family man, have you made a kiss?" When he asked this, Liu Jing felt that the surroundings were quiet, and when she turned her eyes, she saw a person staring at her with both eyes like wolves, and that eyes were about to glow green.
Liu Jing, who originally wanted to say 'there is no marriage', shuddered when she saw this, and hurriedly said, "It's decided." ”
"Are you married?" The owner of the steamed bun shop let out an 'oh' in disappointment and sighed, "How can a good boy be ordered to leave?" ”
Liu Jing smiled reluctantly, and after a few casual words, her steps quickened and walked towards her own silk village.
Liufu's silk village, located in the most prominent street in Yanghe County, the area of the shop is not small, not long ago this silk village is still full of people, but now the door is closed, and there is even a layer of cobwebs on it.
Liu Jing stood in front of the silk village, holding her hands and watching quietly.
Seeing her like this, Uncle Wu stepped forward and whispered, "Da Lang, you will definitely be able to rescue the adult." ”
"Yes." Liu Jing nodded, and after a while, she asked softly, "Does the broker have a reply, is anyone willing to buy it?" ”
"Yes, there are, but those people know that our house is in trouble, and they are desperately lowering the price one by one."
Liu Jing snorted and said, "No hurry. Then you can leave two servants here to wait for news. At this, she sighed and said, "Go back." ”
Turning around, she took the lead in front, and as she walked, she quietly looked at the place where she had lived for six years. Every plant and tree here is so kind, but she is about to leave. I am afraid that when I come back, I will just come and go in a hurry as a guest.
Because the male owner was imprisoned, this New Year in Liufu was spent without laughter.
Although the servants all recognized their talents, it was always extremely difficult to deal with the government, and it was much more difficult than earning a thousand gold. At this time, including Liu's mother, they were all looking forward to Gu Gong, who was far away in Luoyang, wondering if he could help him in the past friendship and his children's in-laws. As for Liu Jing, they didn't dare to hold out hope.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Jing left two loyal servants to guard Liufu, and carefully explained how they should deal with outsiders who did not know where to come, so she took the rest of the people and hired more than a dozen ox carts, and then loaded most of the furniture, clothes, utensils and other things on the ox carts, and in the evening, the family went on the road in a mighty way.
Along the way, from time to time, neighbors came forward to ask them where they were going, and Liu Jing unified her voice and asked everyone to answer that they were going to Jiangliu County to find relatives.
She was so careful and careful, just to guard against the prodigals she had hired, who had come to her house, and who had beaten her boatload of salt ideas.
When the winter snow has just melted, the New Year has just passed, and the weather is still very cold, there are few pedestrians and convoys on the road. Occasionally, it comes and goes.
After walking on the road for ten days, a convoy also came from the fork in the road to Mo County on the right. The motorcade was huge, more than ten times the number of people in Liufu, and the laughter and noise from the procession could be heard from a long way away.
Because of the team's food and lodging, it was all handled by Uncle Wu and Uncle Wang, and Liu Jing nested in the ox cart and thought about everything after arriving in Wu County. Just as she was frowning, suddenly, a crisp Gege laugh drifted into her ox cart with the wind, "Big brother, this team is so funny, even such a tattered cabinet is carried." Also, big brother, look over there, there's a big hole in that chair...... Hee-hee, big brother, are they so poor that they want to beg? ”
As soon as the girl's words 'begging' came out, the team of Liufu was silent at the same time.
Liu Jing knew what this kind of quietness meant. In this era when everyone is arrogant, and even the most unbearable prodigal is proud of 'faithfulness', the word 'begging' is a naked humiliation. She didn't lift the curtain and knew that everyone in Liufu was waiting for her to come forward, waiting for her, the master of Liufu, to deal with it!
So, in a burst of silence, Liu Jing slowly opened the car curtain. Then, turning his head to a very handsome young man, and the arrogant girl who was tugging at the sleeve of the young man's coat delicately.
