Chapter 66: Returning home
At this time, there were also people around who heard the movement here, and they all gathered around, and a maid saw this scene, and instantly shouted in horror: "Lord Su!" ”
Just when Song Xinshu was about to do artificial respiration, the little girl coughed and spit out a big mouthful of water.
Song Xinshu hurriedly picked her up, and then kept patting her on the back to help her spit out water.
The little girl's soft body was crooked in her arms, sobbing quietly with tears in her eyes.
Concubine Niangniang and Fan heard the movement outside, and also walked out, and they were also very panicked when they saw the scene in front of them.
"What's going on?" Concubine asked anxiously.
"Lord Su accidentally fell into the lake, but fortunately, this young lady rescued Lord Su."
Concubine Xiang frowned and said: "How do you slaves do errands, you can't even look down on a county lord, if someone dies, how many of you can afford to pay for it?" ”
When she first saw Concubine Xiang, Song Xinshu thought that she was a very gentle person like Fan, but she didn't expect to be so majestic when she started her temper.
"Why don't you call the Imperial Doctor!" Seeing that the people around her were motionless, the concubine became even more angry.
A maid hurriedly ran to call the imperial doctor, and other maids took the county lord from Song Xinshu's arms, and then helped her up.
Fan walked up with concern and said, "Xin Shu, are you okay?" ”
Song Xinshu shook his head and said, "I'm fine." "The clothes on my body were soaked, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to my body coldly.
The concubine also saw her discomfort and ordered someone to take her down to change her clothes.
After Song Xinshu saluted, he followed the maid to a small room in the east, and the maid took out a complete set of clothes and wanted to help Song Xinshu change clothes.
She waved her hand awkwardly and said, "No need, no need, I can wear it myself." ”
After Song Xinshu changed his clothes, he found that Fan was waiting at the door, and asked suspiciously: "Why didn't the godmother talk to the concubine?" ”
"What happened just now alarmed the emperor, let's leave now."
Song Xinshu didn't understand the rules of the palace, so he nodded and left behind Fan.
Sitting in the carriage out of the palace, Song Xinshu felt that his arm was very sore, presumably strained when he pulled the lord of Su to climb ashore.
While rubbing her arm, she asked Fan's family: "Godmother, why did the county lord appear in the concubine's house?" ”
"The biological father and mother of the Su County Lord have been gone since he was a child, and the emperor took pity on the people of this clan, so he took the only surviving Su County Lord to the palace and passed under the knees of the concubine."
Song Xinshu nodded thoughtfully, and saw that Fan was reluctant to say more, so he didn't ask more.
Although she had never heard of things in the palace, she also knew that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, and many things could not be explained in a few words.
There is a palace near the palace, which is specially for the royal family to live, Song Xinshu was alone in the house, rolling up his sleeves to check the sore place of his arm.
Some places were rubbed with broken skin, and some places were already black, and she rubbed it slowly, wondering if she could find something like safflower oil.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door, and a maidservant's voice said, "Mademoiselle, Madame has called you to her room." ”
After Song Xinshu agreed, he sorted out his clothes and came to Fan's door, knocked lightly on the door, and walked in.
I saw a father-in-law standing beside Fan's side, she walked over with some doubts, nodded at her father-in-law, walked to Fan's side and said, "Godmother, what's the matter with me?" ”
Fan smiled and said: "This is the father-in-law next to the concubine, you have a meritorious service in saving the county lord today, and you specially photographed the father-in-law to give you a reward." ”
Song Xinshu hurriedly said to his father-in-law: "There is a father-in-law." ”
"Look at what the girl said, the county lord fell into the water today, and the concubine Niangniang was frightened, so she didn't have time to reward the girl, so she specially sent the old slave to come, this is the fifty taels of silver that the girl gave to the girl, and a pair of jade bracelets, and asked the girl to accept it."
Song Xinshu glanced at Fan's family, then accepted all these things, and said, "I also asked my father-in-law to thank my mother for me." ”
"Concubine Niangniang also said that the girl's dim sum is ingenious, and she will send someone to buy dim sum from the Subei Tea House in Jinling City in the future, and inform the girl in advance."
Song Xinshu hurriedly said: "As long as my mother likes to eat, it is my blessing." ”
After the bus finished the matter, he left the courtyard, Fan looked at Song Xinshu with a smile and said, "It seems that it is not in vain to bring you here this time, quickly put away these silver taels, we should leave for home tomorrow." ”
Song Xinshu thought for a while, picked up the pair of jade bracelets placed in the brocade box, handed them to Fan's front and said: "Godmother, if you didn't bring me to the capital, I wouldn't have seen such a big world, I can't wear the texture of jade at this age, this pair of jade bracelets, godmother will keep it." ”
Fan Shi hurriedly shirked and said, "This is the concubine's reward for you, how can I wear it well?" ”
"Everything I have now is with the help of my godfather and godmother, and besides, my temperament is not worthy of jadeite, so you can take it."
Fan couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it, the price of the pair of jade bracelets far exceeded the fifty taels of silver, Fan and Zhang Guodong treated themselves well, and filial piety should be deserved.
The next day, the three of them set off home, and when they passed by the pastry shop they saw that day, Song Xinshu asked to go in and have a look.
Zhang Guodong and Fan sat in the store and asked for a pot of tea, while Song Xinshu took the menu in the store and looked at it carefully.
In addition to some self-created dim sum, there are basically some in the North Jiangsu Tea House, but I don't know how the taste compares.
She asked for some of the best snacks she had ever sold, and in a few moments the man brought them up.
Zhang Guodong doesn't like sweets, Fan and Song Xinshu tasted it carefully, perhaps because the flour sieve was not fine enough, the taste was drier than that of the Northern Jiangsu Tea House, and the sugar grains were not delicate enough.
Song Xinshu felt that these dim sum were not as delicious as Subei Tea House, and they did not have her special milk tea, so they really couldn't be compared.
But the silver taels in her hand now are not enough to do business in the capital, and she needs to save more money.
Fan also felt that this dim sum was not as delicious as Song Xinshu's cooking, so he put it down after eating two bites.
Song Xinshu saw that this was a time-honored brand, and originally wanted to come to the secret teacher, but he didn't expect it to be exquisite at all, and he was very disappointed.
Just as she was bored looking outside the store, she suddenly saw a familiar figure passing by the store.
Song Xinshu stood up, said a word to Fan, walked out of the store, and walked towards the figure.
The street was bustling with people, and in the blink of an eye the man turned into an alley, and she chased after her, and suddenly stretched out a hand and pulled her in.
"So you stalked me."
Song Xinshu took a closer look and found that he was not mistaken, and it was the face in front of him that he hated.
"Zheng Tianyi, why are you dressed like this, and you are sneaky."
Zheng Tianyi did not dress as luxuriously as possible like in Jinling City, but wore a coarse cloth robe, and his hair was simply tied together.
"I've got something, what are you doing here?"
"I'm in the palace." Song Xinshu said with a little pride, after all, in this era, not everyone can enter the palace.
Zheng Tianyi frowned slightly and said, "You go back quickly, I have something to go first." ”
He said as he looked nervously behind her, as if someone was chasing him.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Song Xinshu stood in front of him and said, "What the hell are you here for, if you don't tell me, I won't get out of the way." ”
finally saw him so nervous, Song Xinshu couldn't let it go.
Just as Song Xinshu was about to continue speaking, Zheng Tianyi suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her into a courtyard.
Zheng Tianyi's amplitude was a little bigger, and her shoulder hit Song Xinshu's shoulder, and she jumped away like an electric shock, and stepped on Zheng Tianyi by the way.
Zheng Tianyi was in pain, but he didn't make a sound, he leaned on the crack of the door and looked out, and the two men hurriedly walked in, looked around and left.
Song Xinshu looked at the expression on Zheng Tian's face, it didn't look like he was pretending, but he didn't know what kind of thing would make him like this.
Seeing the two men leave, Zheng Tianyi silently breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Song Xinshu, and returned to that kind of hangy expression on his face.
"If you don't go back, my cousin-in-law should be in a hurry for a while, maybe I will post a search notice to find you all over the capital!"
"You need to post a search notice, do you owe money to others and chase you for revenge?"
Zheng Tianyi laughed and said, "You say yes, I'll go first." ”
When he finished speaking, he slammed it, then grabbed the wall and climbed it, and disappeared in a moment.
Song Xinshu took a few steps back and looked up, Zheng Tianyi could no longer see the figure.
She pursed her lips disdainfully, clapped her hands and returned to the pastry shop, and said to Fan's: "Godmother, I thought I saw an acquaintance just now, but I didn't expect to see a mistake." ”
Fan nodded and didn't say anything, and the three of them rested for a while before heading on their way, and two days later, they had arrived at Jinling City.
Now Jinling City is already very unusual in Song Xinshu's heart, she wants to make more money here, and when the time comes, she will open the store in the capital.
Relying on the business of Subei Tea House alone, it will definitely take a few years, and she can't wait that long, so it is better to develop a side business.
She used to want to open a jewelry store on West Street, and after these days, she has saved a lot of drafts in her hand, and now she is to see if there are skilled craftsmen in Jinling City who can make these jewelry according to the drawings.
She sent the housekeeper to Jinling City to find a master who made jewelry, and she sat on the rocking chair under the porch again, watching Liushu play the pipa and hang her voice.
Although it was early autumn, there was a hint of coolness, and she walked over and draped a coat over Liushu's body.
