The long street is bustling with people, and the already small street is filled with crowds, and this is the last big market before the new year, and the streets are lined with all kinds of groceries from north to south. Lin Wanjing held Mo Zhidong and walked slowly under the eaves of the arcade, and the driver and man who followed behind her had already carried various bags of different sizes in their hands.

Lin Wanjing was dressed in a goose-yellow dress, holding a large bunch of half-opened peonies in her hands, and it was a novelty to see peonies in this season, so naturally the price was expensive, and passers-by frequently looked at it.

The sound of messy horses' hooves came from far away from the street, and the crowd avoided it, Lin Wanjing had never seen this kind of formation, and poked her head to see the horse team from far and near. On the brown horse in the lead, the officer-like man pointed to the arcades around him, and the entourage behind him immediately scattered in all directions, shuttling through the crowd to find it, and when he saw the woman, he grabbed and looked at her appearance.

"Let's go, don't look at it." Seeing that her daughter was very curious, Mo Zhidong gently dragged her, "This world is not peaceful, I want to live a peaceful life, do my own thing, see less, listen less, and talk less." Then, she turned to look at the driver and the family behind her, "I'll take the young lady to order two clothes, you go to drive first, and pick us up at the intersection." ”

The two big men responded and walked away quickly, although there was no meaning in their words, but their actions seemed to be a great favor, Lin Wanjing couldn't help but chuckle out loud when she saw this.

Mo Zhidong led Lin Wanjing into a silk village with a sign of "Jinpei Year", and the store was crowded and lively.

"There's a guest here!" Before the little boy who greeted the guest at the door glanced at the visitor, he only heard the footsteps and shouted loudly, and then, he raised his eyes and glanced at the visitor, and immediately changed his words, "There is a distinguished guest here!" ”

When the shopkeeper behind the counter heard this, he hurriedly looked up and forgot about the visitor, and immediately handed over the work to Xiao Er next to him, and walked quickly to the door:

"Madam, why do you have time to come here today?"

"Isn't this Wanjing coming back, and she plans to prepare two new clothes for her before the year!"

"Oh, I said who is this, Miss Dare is back! Look at it, I can't recognize it for so many years. The shopkeeper called the girl as he spoke, "Caifeng, come and accompany the eldest lady to pick out some good materials to try in the back, and tell the charcoal stove to be lit in the back, it will be cold." ”

Caifeng led Lin Wanjing to the back hall, and the shopkeeper accompanied Mo Zhidong to the side hall to sit down, and instructed Xiao Er to serve hot ginger tea.

Drinking ginger tea and looking at the customers in the store, Mo Zhidong felt a lot, and she still clearly remembered the desolate scene when she just took back the Jinpei Year, who would have thought that one day it would develop into this prosperous business scene today.

"How has business been doing in the store lately?"

"It's all good, we have a lot of old customers, and the old man in the factory is personally in charge, the quality has gone up, and there will naturally be more repeat customers, although my wife can rest assured."

"Well, I don't worry, I'm more at ease if you Aunt Zhi is in charge here."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he laughed a little embarrassedly.

"By the way, Uncle Tong's health has improved?"

"It's still the same, and when it's cold, I cough harder."

Tong Shun is an old employee of the Lin family textile factory, and in the early years, he left the factory due to cough and only relied on his wife Lu Zhi's family heirloom cloth shop to make a living, and the family's livelihood became a problem. At that time, Mr. Lin put forward the willingness to cooperate and reap the benefits.

In the front hall, chatting and drinking tea, in the back hall, the charcoal stove is warm, Lin Wanjing is trying the style behind the screen, Caifeng is standing outside the screen, holding the dress that Lin Wanjing has changed, the thick velvet shines with a fine luster in the sunlight through the window, the material she has only seen on the foreign woman passing by in front of the store, but she has never seen it so closely, thinking like this, her fingers involuntarily touched it, only to retract it quickly, and then turned her head, but saw that the charcoal stove was slightly dark.

"Miss, the carbon fire is not enough, I'll add some, you wait for me here."

"Okay, there you go." Lin Wanjing responded, "Help me put the clothes on the side, it's okay." ”

Xu hadn't worn a flag suit for too long, and no matter how she looked at herself in the mirror, she hummed a small tune, raised her hand to loosen up her long hair, and found a clip to pin, which seemed to feel a little bit at this time. Lin Wanjing thought like this, bent down to pick up the fabric that had just been combed and touched, and the hand wind picked up the red flannel covering the sundries, the flannel slid off, and there was a sleeping woman sitting at the bottom, with a peaceful expression, her chest rising and falling steadily, and sleeping peacefully. There were fine beads of sweat oozing on her forehead, her face was a little pale, Lin Wanjing wanted to reach out and try her snort, but as soon as her hand reached out, the woman's eyes opened suddenly, and she reached out to cover Lin Wanjing's mouth:

"Don't scream, please don't scream." The woman whispered, her voice trembling.

"Could it be that the officers and soldiers outside are going to arrest this woman?" Lin Wanjing secretly shouted in her heart that it was not good, but she also understood that the more she struggled at the moment, the more dangerous her situation became.

Seeing that she didn't threaten to shout, the woman slowly let go of her hand.

"Please don't tell anyone I'm here, I'm not a bad person, really." The woman said, her voice was very small, like a frightened child, "Those are the bad guys out there, they want to arrest me!" ”

Lin Wanjing looked at her with wide eyes and nodded seriously.

"Those people are the big lady's people, and she hates me, so she wants to arrest me back!"

"Big lady?"

"Yes! I'm really not a bad person, please help me. ”

"How do you want me to help you?" Lin Wanjing felt that this was a good opportunity to escape.

"Go to the big handsome, only he believes me." The woman seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, "You go to him with this, and he will know that it is me." ”

She stuffed a handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms into Lin Wanjing's hand.

"Dashuai...... You mean......" Lin Wanjing didn't finish her words, and the woman hurriedly reached out and blocked her mouth.

Lin Wanjing looked at the person in front of her: delicate face, delicate facial features, and a somewhat messy bun, but she could still see the exquisiteness of the dress, plus she was handsome, the woman in front of her must be the rumored third aunt of the Liu family, Fu Shien. From her sloppy eyes and overly nervous look, Lin Wanjing remembered a mental illness described in the book, and the book also said that in the face of such patients, it is unwise to be reasonable or forceful.

"Okay, I'll help you find him!" Lin Wanjing tried her best to make a serious cooperation, and said, "The streets are full of officers and soldiers at this time, you are hiding here, and after a while, I will help you find someone." That...... Would you like to drink some water? As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanjing felt like biting off her tongue, this kind of diversionary wording was really boring.

Fu Shien licked her chapped lips and nodded, looking well-behaved.

Lin Wanjing saw that she agreed, so she led her around the screen to sit down at the table, and poured her a cup of tea, she didn't think about it, she raised her head and drank it, and smacked her lips after drinking, it seemed that the cold tea tasted good.

"Ah, by the way, did I tell you......" Fu Shien suddenly remembered something, but when the words came to her mouth, her brows furrowed again.

"What?"

Fu Shien's brows tightened more and more, thinking very hard, while Lin Wanjing tilted her head to look at her, waiting for an answer. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and snatched the thick satin embroidered with butterfly patterns in Lin Wanjing's hand, "This butterfly is very badly embroidered!" You look at this pattern, it should go along like this, and this tail, the method of light and dark color is not right. ”

"Looks like you know embroidery very well......" Lin Wanjing approached her and followed her hand to look at the fabric.

"That's it! In the past, the handsome man liked my embroidered handkerchief the most, and he never left his body! Look at this! She took out a silk scarf from her arms, and embroidered half a colorful butterfly in the corner, "This butterfly is half of me and half of Dashuai, and he said that when he sees the handkerchief, he will think of me." ”

She said this, her eyes full of tenderness.

"You...... Miss him? Lin Wanjing asked softly, she had heard some rumors about Fu Shien, and she suddenly felt a little pity for the woman in front of her.

"Think?" Fu Shien first muttered to herself, and then said loudly: "Why should I think? We're together every day! Listen, he calls me. He's coming for me! ”

Without waiting for Lin Wanjing to react, Fu Shien had already gotten up and ran to the lobby, Lin Wanjing hurriedly chased out, but saw that the hall was already full of soldiers, and when she saw them coming out, she immediately stepped forward to surround them. Seeing this, Lin Wanjing pulled Fu Shien behind her. Mo Zhidong wanted to protect his daughter, but he was also stopped by the soldiers and could not come close. The two parties were at a stalemate, until the sound of hurried horses' hooves stopped in front of the store, Liu Jin turned over and dismounted, hurriedly walked into the store, looked at the people in front of him, and finally fell on Lin Wanjing: "Miss Lin, don't come to harm." is still so energetic, Liu is very envious. ”

"What do you want?" Lin Wanjing said vigilantly.

"What can I do? It's just to take the people behind you back. ”

"What did she do wrong, and you want to do this to her?"

"Did I say she was wrong? Besides, what did I do to her? ”

"She's a woman, and you should respect her no matter what!"

Liu Jin rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and said helplessly: "Miss Lin, this is my family matter, I think you are too lenient." Mom, come home with me, I'll be worried if you run around like this. ”

"Even if she's your mother, ......" Lin Wanjing was stunned, "Wait, Mom?" ”

It's big.

Lin Wanjing watched as Fu Shien obediently walked towards Liu Jin, Yingluo put on a fur for her, and helped her to go outside the store. After a while, he caught up: "She's sick, you should take her to the doctor!" I know a very professional doctor who can do so if you need to..."

Liu Jin stopped and turned to look at her: "Miss Lin, I said that this is my family matter, and you are too lenient." ”

"But..."Lin Wanjing was stopped by Mo Zhidong before she finished speaking, and shook her head to signal her not to say any more.

Seeing that there was no follow-up, Liu Jin stepped away and left. Fu Shien followed two steps, and suddenly turned around and said loudly to Lin Wanjing: "Beautiful girl, that rose-red forging horse is the most suitable for you, listen to me!" ”

"Thanks... Thank you..."Lin Wanjing didn't react for a while, so she had to respond stupidly.

Liu Jin rode in front, Fu Shien followed in the car, Lin Wanjing stood in the store in a daze and listened to the sound of cars and horses, Mo Zhidong counted her words in her ear, she didn't hear too clearly, she only felt that her brain was blank, and her face was as hot as a fever.
