Chapter 75: Scenery on the Road
Shen Qingqing felt that if he couldn't hear these things, then the right to leave him alone if they didn't happen, but he didn't expect these broken-mouthed mothers-in-law to talk in front of Shen Qingqing: "I think this is the son of a big family, he wears so expensive, and I don't know how many silver taels can be exchanged for this clothes." ”
"Alas, do you think that everyone is as uninformed as a woman like you, who has a lot of money, and still cares about the silver? How did he get involved with Shen Qingqing, what is the relationship between the two of them? ”
"I don't know."
A few broken-mouthed mothers-in-law just looked at Shen Qingqing with obscure eyes.
Shen Qingqing stood in place, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Mrs. Zhang, where do you all want to go?" It was Aunt Wang who came out to play the round with beans in her hand. Yesterday, Yu Ling stood outside Shen Qingqing's house all night, and Aunt Wang, who was a neighbor, was clear.
She smiled on her face: "This man's name is Yu Ling, it seems that his mother is sick and asked Shen Qingqing to go over to see a doctor." ”
As soon as she said this, the person next to her suddenly realized, Aunt Wang suddenly thought of something, and walked in front of Yu Ling to live up and down, looking at the satisfied light in her eyes from time to time: "Young Master Yu, have you ever married?" ”
Yu Ling saluted with both hands and spoke extremely politely: "Naturally, I didn't marry." ”
"It's good not to marry, it's good not to marry." That Aunt Wang didn't know what she had in mind, and her eyes kept on Shen Qingqing's body when she said this.
Shen Qingqing didn't want to deal with it so much, so she just thanked Aunt Wang and got into the carriage.
The carriage is inlaid with jade pendants and beads, and as far as the eye can see, it shows the prosperity of the family.
When Yu Ling got into the car, he said to the groom: "This road is far away, and it is really hard for you." ”
"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely take the stability of this carriage frame."
"Wait a minute." Shen Qingqing's hand held the curtain, and when he heard Yu Ling say this, he suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Yu Ling was puzzled.
Shen Qingqing looked at Xiao Douding standing at the door of the house and swallowed again: "Your house is far away from this, right?" ”
"Naturally, it's far away."
This Shen Qingqing originally thought that Yu Ling was just a big family in the town, and it was only a day's time to come and go, but I am afraid that it is not in the town, and it is absolutely unassuring to put Xiaodouding at home alone for a few days.
Thinking of this, she laughed: "I didn't think about it just now, I still have children at home, can you let me bring the children with me?" ”
"Nature is okay, nature is okay." Yu Ling agreed again and again, and asked his subordinates to hold Xiao Douding on the carriage.
The little bean Ding looked left and right in Shen Qingqing's arms, looking at it from side to side, although timid, but not rude, the carriage walked smoothly on the road.
Shen Qingqing saw that Yu Ling was also a scholar, so he was curious and asked, "Young Master Yu, why have I seen it in the town?" Is your home in another town? ”
Yu Ling took back the fan and turned his head to look at Shen Qingqing: "Our family is in Yuanzhen." ”
"Wonjin?" Shen Qingqing's mouth pondered these two words.
This Yuan Town is not far from their place, has his reputation spread so quickly?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing shook his head and smiled: "Then why do you know about me, Young Master Yu?" ”
Yu Ling touched his sideburns and said: "This is still a coincidence, our family is doing business with a man named Liu, and the glutinous rice dumplings and scarves he sent over are excellent, we inadvertently talked about this matter, only to know that it was originally made by Miss Shen." Then Master Liu said that Miss Shen would cure and save people, and I couldn't help it, so I came all the way to disturb Miss Shen. ”
Shen Qingqing and Master Liu are very familiar with each other, if there is anything interesting, Shen Qingqing will also talk to him, this saves Liu Qing and Lin Zhong, Shen Qingqing originally told Master Liu about the interesting thing, but he didn't expect that Master Liu really took it seriously, and said it to Yu Ling, so there was such a thing.
When Shen Qingqing was about to say something, Xiao Douding pulled Shen Qingqing's arm: "Mother, what do you think it is?" ”
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but look outside through the carriage, and saw what Xiao Douding was pointing at, and the whole person was strange: "I didn't expect to see this kind of thing in this kind of place." ”
Yu Ling also looked out with the gaze of the two people, and saw that Xiao Douding was pointing to a round tree, which was extremely conspicuous in a large area of locust branches, with round leaves and yellow flowers, which was also beautiful.
Yu Ling quickly searched for the knowledge he had learned, but there was no match for this kind of tree.
But he didn't expect Shen Qingqing's words to reach his ears: "This tree is called Bauhinia, which is rare in places like ours." ”
"Bauhinia ......" Xiao Douding's crisp voice repeated his mother's words, and he danced for a while. Mother, does this tree have any effect? ”
"Yes." Shen Qingqing nodded. "This tree can be used to build houses and furniture, and it has a faint fragrance in it, and it is extremely strong, but because it is not easy to polish, it is rarely used by carpenters. Besides, this tree can also be used to extract oil. ”
"Oil extraction?" This time, Xiao Douding was even more curious.
Shen Qingqing pinched his face: "Of course, there is a vegetable oil in this tree that can be squeezed for oil, although it is not delicious, but it can be cooked." ”
Yu Ling can be regarded as a full reader of poetry and books, and has traveled all over the country since he was a child, but he has never heard of this kind of thing that Shen Qingqing said.
At this time, the winter sun was in full bloom, and through the leaves and the walking carriage, layers of mottled layers were formed on the woman's hair, and the light and shadow reflected each other, coating Shen Qingqing with a layer of holy light, and her whole person seemed to come out of a book.
When Yu Ling first saw Shen Qingqing, he thought that she was a beautiful peasant girl, but after these two hours of getting along, she found that this woman seemed to be different from what she thought in her heart.
The carriage came to a halt after another two or three hours, and after a long run the men and horses had little strength, and the road was also mountainous, and the place where they stopped was naturally not much better, and the mountains were covered by snow, and the land was white, and the path became muddy.
"Young Master, all the food we brought from home is cold, I'm afraid that Young Master and Miss Shen will have to make do for a while."
In ancient times, there was no heat preservation technology, and it was winter, so the food was naturally cold.
Shen Qingqing looked at it, and saw that there was still a lot of food they brought over, including vegetables and meat, and it was really hard to touch it with his hands, and it was good for adults to eat it, but a child as young as Xiao Douding had to have diarrhea when he ate these things.
Seeing that one or two subordinates had already raised a bonfire in the distance, Shen Qingqing suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Yu, I do have a good way to cook food, would you like to give it a try?" ”
"What?" Yu Ling became more and more curious.
Shen Qingqing smiled and didn't say anything, just used a knife to cut the tree into small pieces, with two pointed ends, and then pierced the food on the branches.
Yes, Shen Qingqing just wants to make barbecue.
Put the clothes on the shelves and grill them, and in less than a while, they emitted bursts of fragrance, and they couldn't help but attract the people below.
Shen Qingqing handed the roasted beef to Yu Ling: "Young Master Yu, can you taste if this taste is to your taste." ”
Yu Ling took the string of beef and took a bite of it, and when he just took a bite, his mouth was full of fragrance, and the beef was mixed with the taste of cumin, which was very delicious.
This Yu Ling had never eaten anything like this, Shen Qingqing just laughed and didn't explain so much, he distributed all these things to his subordinates, and after a while, he ate them all.
That Yu Ling has been a rich son since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of things when he travels south and north, but in just one day, Shen Qingqing brought him one accident after another.
When people were satisfied, they hit the road.
The carriage bypassed the Nine Dao Pass, followed the parallel stream, and walked for a day to reach Yuanzhen.
There are nine passes in these nine passes, so it seems that the mountains and rivers are clean, but Yuanzhen is extremely open, and those who don't know think they have come to the Central Plains.
The carriage entered Yuan Town and drove through a few bustling streets to a mansion.
Shen Qingqing saw the two big characters of Yu Mansion through the carriage, and the golden light sparkled into his eyes, covering a lot of area from the outside.
Four stone lions stand side by side, and the red walls and green tiles are a bit of the taste of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
When you enter an open place, there is a view in the open, lush pavilions, and paintings of flowers and beams.
The maid in pink clothes passed in front of them from time to time with plates, and the housekeeper in blue clothes did not do clumsy work, but he was honest and neat
Master Liu can already be regarded as rich, but just by looking at Shen Qingqing, he knows that this Yu Mansion is even richer than Master Liu.
Yu Ling was very anxious when he came in, and hurriedly led Shen Qingqing to the old lady's room.
There were eight or nine subordinates waiting inside and out, but without exception, there was a sad look on their faces.
And Shen Qingqing entered the room and looked left and right, and found something strange, although the old lady's room was large and prosperous, it was not breathable, coupled with the smell of cooked soup and the breath of people going in and out, the air in the room was very turbid.
And through the curtain, I vaguely saw a skinny old man, lying on the bed, and from time to time his mouth shouted a word or two indistinct sounds, which made people feel like a lamb on the verge of death.
