Chapter 107 has finally arrived~!
The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate and went all the way east along the official road, and the smooth carriage gradually became bumpy.
The so-called official road, in fact, is just a slightly flatter dirt road, far from being compared with the asphalt road or even the cement road in later generations, the carriage does not have the slightest shock absorption performance at all, the distance is short, sitting in the carriage for several hours in a row, Chu Yun has not felt this kind of torture for a long time.
With a long sigh, if it weren't for this thing, he would have been flying with Xiangji now, going on a sweet honeymoon trip, looking at the mountains, waters, flowers, stars, and moon, instead of lying drowsy in the carriage alone.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and the fresh air wrapped in a faint fragrance poured in, Chu Yun gave Chu Chu a little place, bored through the gap in the curtain, and looked at the road that kept regressing while throwing broad beans in his mouth.
A few hours of horseback riding, although it was a piece of cake for Chu Chu, it had long lost its initial freshness, and Chu Yun was in a stalemate over the last few broad beans in the bag.
It wasn't until Chu Yun threw a broad bean stained with his own saliva into it, in exchange for a fierce white eye from Miss Chu Chu, that he won the final victory.
"After a few hours of driving, everyone is tired, why don't you rest in front for a while~?" Chu Yun moved to the front of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said something outside.
The old man surnamed Chu poked his head out of a smaller carriage behind him and said, "Young master, it's not early, and in half an hour, we will arrive at the next county seat, after we get there, find an inn to settle down in, and set off early tomorrow morning~." ”
Chu Yun nodded and got into the carriage again, secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, the distance between Sujiang Mansion and the capital was not too far, and the time of six or seven days was already very short compared to the journey of several months.
However, the thought that such a bump will continue for another week is still inevitably a little headache......
……
……
In the small courtyard, the sun was about to set, and the little girl was lying on the rocking chair where Chu Yun often lay down, counting what on her fingers.
"Half a month is fifteen days, my uncle and Miss Cousin have been gone for half a day, and there are fourteen and a half days left, and I can see them again......"
"Yu'er......" The voice of the incense mark came from inside the house.
Hearing the young lady's voice, the little girl responded with a "hey~".
"Wash your hands and come back to eat~."
"It's coming~."
At this time, in the jade courtyard, there was a knock on the door, and the old bustard took his thoughts back, opened the door, saw the person coming, and asked, "Shiyun, what's the matter~?" ”
If it was in the past, Lao Bustard would naturally not be so cold about the top brand of the Jade Courtyard and her cash cow, but now, the cash cow has been replaced, and she naturally does not need to be so enthusiastic.
"Won't Mom invite me in and sit~?" Zeng Shiyun seemed to be completely unaware of this, and still said with a smile.
"I said Shiyun, you just listen to your mother's advice, this will only ruin yourself in the end, even if you don't think about your mother, you have to think about yourself, if you continue like this, your mother will really not be able to help you." No matter how you say it, it has been a relationship for many years, and the old bustard still doesn't give up and persuades a few words.
Zeng Shiyun smiled and said, "I'm here for this matter this time." ”
"Have you figured it out~?" The bustard's eyes lit up.
"Figured it out." Zeng Shiyun nodded and said, "I'll redeem myself." ”
"Where did you get all this money?" Looking at the stack of silver tickets in his hand and identifying the authenticity, the old bustard asked in surprise.
The silver ticket is real, as long as you go to the money bank of the corresponding trading house, you can exchange it for the equivalent value of silver, the question is, how can she have so much money?
"This money should be enough~." Zeng Shiyun looked at her and asked.
"That's enough...... old bustard nodded mechanically.
According to the fame, the silver redeemed by everyone in the Jade Courtyard is clearly marked, no matter who they are, if they have the intention of leaving, as long as they raise enough silver, she will let them go.
Of course, like the previous poems, she naturally won't let go easily, but now, her fame is not as good as before, and after the Oiran Contest, I'm afraid it will be reduced a lot, and the amount of silver needed to redeem herself will naturally be reduced, at least far less than the one she holds in her hand.
She was a little hesitant at this time, in case the poetry ......
As soon as this idea arose, she denied it, Shi Miaomiao took over her as the new signboard of the Jade Courtyard, and there will be no change, the role of poetry and rhyme for her is actually dispensable, it is better to accept the silver and send her a favor by the way.
"Have you really thought about it~?" The old bustard looked at her and asked seriously. Obviously, she had already made her choice at this point.
After getting Zeng Shiyun's nod to confirm, the old bustard sighed, took out her deed of sale from the box in the room, and said: "For the sake of the past, if you want to leave, wait until after the Oiran Competition~." ”
Although her fame is not as good as before, but in the end it is still stronger than most people, and at this critical time, there is no harm in making a little more popularity in Qunyuyuan.
"Okay~." It's just that she left a few days late, she has been waiting for so many years, and it's nothing to wait a few more days, not to mention that the deed of sale is in her hand, and the moment she gets the deed of sale, she is already free.
When she walked out of the bustard's room, Zeng Shiyun felt unprecedented relief, and finally unloaded the mountain that had been pressing on her shoulders for a long time, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked all the way back to the room.
As if she didn't see the complicated eyes of the sisters in the past, she turned a blind eye to Shi Miaomiao's gloating eyes, pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Xiaojuan sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad face.
"This stupid girl." She muttered something in a whisper, she wanted to surprise her, but since she had promised her mother to keep it a secret, she would not be able to tell her the good news until the Oiran contest was over.
................
.................
"It's been six days......," Yu'er sat in the courtyard, muttering habitually with her fingers crossed.
My uncle and Miss Biao have been gone for six days, and they should be about to arrive in the capital.
Yesterday, the Shangyuan Festival had passed, and the young lady took her to the street to see the lanterns, and when she came back, she bought a few beautiful ones to hang in the room.
If there is an uncle, there is definitely no need to spend money to buy, the person who sold the lantern said that as long as he guessed which lantern riddle, he could bring the lantern back, and the uncle guessed the lantern riddle very well, and he would definitely be able to guess at a loss.
There was some noise outside, I heard it in the yard just now, it seems that Uncle Chen and they took advantage of the aunt's absence yesterday to visit the Qinglou, and when they came out, they were caught red-handed by the aunts who came back from the temple, and yesterday there was a night in the house, and in the morning, you can see the broom raised high in the yard next door.
A figure jumped in from outside the door, and Lao Chen made a silent gesture to Yu'er, and whispered: "I'm hiding here, don't tell your aunt~." ”
As he spoke, the whole person quickly flashed into the storage room.
Yu'er sighed, Uncle Chen is such an honest person, how can he like to go to that kind of unserious place?
The aunt of the Chen family, who suddenly chased in from the outside, pouted in the direction of the storage room, and lay on the rocking chair, which was very comfortable, no wonder the aunt used to like to lie on it the most.
There was a scream from inside the room, and a figure rushed out of it, crawling out of the yard, and the aunt of the Chen family hurriedly chased after it with a broom.
In the courtyard next to the incense shop, several long tables are side by side, a huge canvas is spread on it, a woman wearing a plain skirt, a handful of wooden hairpins is inserted on her head at will, holding a paintbrush, the tip of the pen is swimming on the canvas, the painting in front of you has been completed for the most part, the scenery is vivid, a tall tower stands on the lonely mountain, and the huge waves that are thousands of feet high sweep from the front, as if to submerge the entire mountain.
This is a scene from the most popular play "The Legend of the White Snake" in recent days, called "Water Flooding Golden Mountain", the mountain peaks are wonderful, as if they are about to be born from the canvas, the water is monstrous, and it is extremely shocking from a distance.
Shu Wanqing walked out of the room, shook her head and said: "You can calm down, there are people outside who do not hesitate to offer a price of eight thousand taels of silver in order to see you, even a portrait can be sold for more than one hundred taels, why work so hard for these dozens of dollars~." ”
"It's not the same~." After standing for a long time, Zeng Shiyun twisted her somewhat sore waist and said, "I don't care~, anyway, you promised to take me in, but now you can't regret it~." ”
"Your fame has now spread out of Sujiang Mansion, and the goddess of Luoshui is known to everyone, "Beauty Song" and "Luo Shen Fu" have been copied by countless people, and it is said that the paper price of Sujiang Mansion is thirty percent higher than in the past."
Shu Wanqing looked at her and said with a smile. Who would have thought that the well-known "Yaochi Fairy" and "Luoshui Goddess" in Sujiang Mansion would be such a scoundrel. ”
"What Luoshui goddess, it's not all his harm~hum~~!" Zeng Shiyun had a hint of shame on her face, and every time she heard others read these verses, she couldn't help but think of the scene of "honest confrontation" with him that night.
On the day of the Oiran Competition, "Luo Shen Fu" came out, her fame was greater than before, and the first genius of Sujiang Mansion made a fortune for the beauty through the ages, but all women, no one does not envy her, those resignations must be passed on, and every time someone mentions it in later generations, I am afraid that Zeng Shiyun's name will also appear together, and she has also become a celebrity in the true sense of the ages~!
But she just wants to live a plain life in the future, after one thing, this wish can only become a luxury, she has to cover her face when she goes out, worried about being recognized, what else is bland~!
And the culprit of all this still doesn't know where to be happy.
"Whew~! Finally came out~. Thinking about her current easy days, Zeng Shiyun felt relaxed for no reason.
"Whew~! It's finally here~! Looking at the city walls that were much taller and more majestic than Sujiang Mansion City, Chu Yun let out a long breath, and the whole person relaxed.
