Chapter 26: The Yuan Family in Yancheng
The carriage has been driving on the road, and on the way, Shui Qingxiang learned that the place she was going to was called Yancheng.
Ning Wuze also lost his temper with Liu Yingyi, and was unwilling to talk to Liu Yingyi along the way.
"My lord, I have inquired, go left at the fork in front, and you can reach Yancheng in one day and one night, but this mountain road is a little rougher. If you go to the right, you will have to walk for another two days to get there, but the road should be wider. My lord, which way to go? Qin asked with a horsewhip in his hand.
"Let's go to the left." Liu Yingyi responded.
Although the master did not say it explicitly in the letter, Liu Yingyi always felt that things were a little strange, and the earlier he saw the master, he could also feel at ease earlier.
Ning Wuze, who had always been dissatisfied with Liu Yingyi, snorted lightly, "You still have a little conscience." ”
Before I knew it, it was dusk, and Liu Yingyi and his party went to a remote suburb to stay in a hotel.
"Xiao Er, first bring me two catties of beef, a roast chicken, a roast duck, two fish, and a pot of good wine." Ning Wu knew that it was Liu Yingyi who paid for it, and he deliberately opened his mouth widely, intending to knock him hard.
When Qin Zhutou heard this, he was naturally full of joy, he only gnawed a few steamed buns along the way, and his stomach was already empty at this moment, so he wished he wanted to call more meat dishes, but he was afraid that the county magistrate would be unhappy.
Qin Zhutou turned his head and glanced at Liu Yingyi, and saw that there was nothing unusual about the county commander.
Liu Yingyi even asked: "What other dishes do you want to add?" Just say it. Bring me a bowl of millet porridge. ”
Along the way, Liu Yingyi's old illness relapsed, and she didn't want to eat anything, she just wanted to drink a bowl of porridge to warm her stomach.
Shui Qingxiang didn't want to learn from Ning Wuze's bamboo pole, so she said to the shopkeeper, "Bring us a few steamed buns." ”
Thinking about the need to travel tomorrow, it is more convenient to carry steamed buns with you.
"Bring me a braised hoof." Qin Zhutou is really an authentic foodie, not only has a good appetite, but also has a unique taste.
Four people eat at one table, vegetarians eat vegetarians, and those who eat meat eat meat, but they are all right.
Ning Wuze was full of wine and food, and he was very satisfied with his meal, and even had two wine burps.
Qin Zhutou also ate a large bowl of braised hooves cleanly, and mixed the remaining soup with rice when he was ready, and sure enough, he didn't waste a little food.
Thinking that she will go to Yancheng tomorrow, this is also the first time that Shui Qingxiang has traveled to this world, and I really want to know how this Yancheng is better than Dongzi County.
She called Xiao Er to her and asked a few words: "Xiao Er, how far is it from Yancheng here?" ”
This inn is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is rare to meet a generous guest, and the shopkeeper is also very enthusiastic: "It turns out that several guest officers are going to Yancheng." It's about 20 miles away from here, and if you leave early tomorrow morning, you can arrive at Yancheng at noon. ”
"Is this Yancheng big? What's in it to eat and play? Liu Yingyi didn't tell Shui Qingxiang about the letter, and Shui Qingxiang only thought that this time she was traveling to Yancheng.
As soon as he mentioned this, Xiao Er seemed to be interested: "I'm afraid that the girl is the first time to come back to Yancheng." This Yancheng is the most lively and prosperous place in addition to the capital, there are merchants from the south to the north, there are goods from all over the world, there are countless interesting places, and there are countless delicious things. The girl can know when she enters Yancheng. ”
Liu Yingyi only thinks that Shui Qingxiang is a little girl's heart, and she thinks about delicious food and fun everywhere, but she doesn't know that Shui Qingxiang just took the opportunity to find a second set of words in the shop, and by the way, she just learned about the environment.
Ning Wuze heard it, but his face was displeased: "Hmph, I just said that it's useless to bring so many people." Before he arrived at Yuan's house, he began to inquire about where there was good food and fun, and Lord Liu was really busy taking care of his subordinates. ”
When the shopkeeper heard the word "Yuan family", a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, and the tone of his voice was a little respectful: "A few people originally wanted to go to the Yuan family in Yancheng, which is one of the largest families in Yancheng, and the old lady Yuan has made a lot of contributions, not only a famous talent in the imperial court, but also assisted the first emperor, and even the emperor personally gave the plaque, and everyone in Yancheng knows it, and no one knows it." ”
Shui Qingxiang didn't expect that Liu Yingyi's master turned out to be very promising, and suddenly felt that she didn't know much about this sick county commander.
Sometimes, she even felt that she had been being taken away by Liu Yingyi.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper suddenly sighed, and then said: "I just didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Yan family, Old Lady Yuan is a great good person, how many people in Yancheng have received his favor." A few of them also rushed to Yanfu to attend the funeral, right? ”
"What funeral?" Ning Wuze's eyes widened and asked.
"You don't know? Old lady Yuan just passed away two days ago, and the people of Yancheng are full of vegetarians, and they will see off the old man tomorrow. ”
Ning Wuze's eyes were about to pop out, and he grabbed the shopkeeper who was talking, and roared angrily: "Which old man Yuan are you talking about?" Dare to talk nonsense in front of Lao Tzu, believe it or not, grandpa, I'll screw off your head directly? ”
The shopkeeper who didn't know why was yelled at by Ning Wuze, his body shrank in fright, and then he stammered with his tongue and said, "It's still ...... And also...... Which old man Yuan? Of course, it's the Yuan family...... Yuan Youcheng. ”
"How could Yuan Youcheng die? Who do you listen to? Even Liu Yingyi, who had a colder temperament, couldn't sit still this time, stood up and asked.
The shopkeeper looked sincerely frightened: "How did Old Man Yuan die, I really don't know if I am young, but this matter has been spread all over Yancheng, saying that Old Man Yuan is dead, and he will be buried tomorrow." ”
Ning Wu, whose face had turned red and exuded a strong smell of alcohol, took out a silver ingot from his body: "Hurry up and prepare a fast horse for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will go to Yancheng tonight." ”
Ning Wuze was really a person with a strong temper, and as soon as he heard the news of his master's death, he couldn't wait to rush to Yuan's mansion.
Liu Yingyi stopped him: "The truth of the matter is not known yet, you rush in the middle of the night like this, not only will you not solve the problem, but you will also make things worse." ”
"Fuck your mother, the worse it gets......" Ning Wuze brutally pushed away Liu Yingyi, who wanted to stop him, his eyes were red, as if he would shed crystal tears in the next second, "If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have gone to see the master a long time ago, and I blame you for causing the master to have an accident!" ”
After saying this, Ning Wu rushed out of the door, rode a horse from the stable, and walked away.
"Guest officer, guest officer, Ma hasn't given money yet, Ma hasn't given money yet......" The innkeeper who had just walked down from the upper floor saw it and wanted to stop Ning Wuze but didn't dare.
The fiery man rode his horse and soon disappeared into the darkness.
"Lord Liu, this ......" Shui Qingxiang wanted to ask Liu Yingyi, if she also wanted to chase Ning Wuze to Yancheng overnight.
Liu Yingyi said: "The road is steep in the dark, and the carriage is not easy to walk, so we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"That old man Yuan is really the master?" Qin Zhutou asked cautiously.
Yoo Young-yi didn't answer, but he could already see the answer in his pale face.
In the middle of the night, he carried an oil lamp and walked weakly towards the room upstairs.
