88. Taoyuan Village V
Dacao shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with my father's mother, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so I can only blame my bad life and put up this family." ”
"Life." Leng Qiuling sneered and said, "My life is up to me, not by the sky, Dacao, if you have this kind of thought, others are helping you in vain, you must cheer yourself up and dare to fight against fate." ”
"Fight against fate." Dacao's eyes were confused, what she heard the most was to follow her father at home, marry her husband, and now someone told her that she could make her own destiny, but she didn't know how to do it, "Miss Leng, I'm ...... I can't. Dacao smiled wryly.
"Then whatever you want, I'll only help you once anyway." Leng Qiuling is not a patient person, as long as she does what she promises, as for the rest, it depends on Dacao's own ideas.
"Second sister." Cao'er also hated iron and steel, she could see that Leng Qiuling was thinking about them, but the second sister was too angry.
"Third sister, let me think about it and give the second sister a while." Looking at her sister's eyes, Dacao also knew that this was not good, but her temperament has always been like this, and it is not so easy to change.
Cao'er sighed and said faintly, "Sister Leng, let's help solve the affairs of that family first, as for my second sister, I will watch her." ”
Leng Qiuling nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, you guys prepare, prepare, come with me to the town later." Zhihua followed Leng Qiuling out of the hall, and said after half a salary, "Miss, there is something that the slave has to say, you are the daughter of the general's mansion, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate to do business." ”
"Knowing the painting." Leng Qiuling turned around and chuckled twice, "I don't care about my identity or anything, otherwise I wouldn't have left, and we brought a lot of money when we came out, but you don't understand the truth of sitting and eating empty." ”
"Miss, the slave is not worth it for you, if it weren't for the early death of Madame, you wouldn't be ......." Zhihua's head became lower and lower, and her voice became smaller and smaller, she knew that what Miss said was right, but the concept she had cultivated for a long time was not so easy to change.
"Zhihua, there is no concubine of the General's Mansion in this world, only Leng Qiuling, remember." After saying this, Leng Qiuling went back to the East House
, leaving Zhihua alone in the courtyard to meditate.
The temptation to go to the town is still relatively big for the Li family siblings, and in less than half an hour, they have already packed up and waited at the door, even the youngest
Li Yang also changed into clean clothes and was held in his arms by Dacao.
Leng Qiuling symbolically took a purse and hung it on his waist, and took out fifty taels of silver tickets to Zhihua, this time he went to the town just to find out the news, and it shouldn't cost much, but the Li family's food must be improved, not to mention a few small ones to replenish the body, even Leng Qiuling himself can't stand the gruel and wild vegetables every day.
Rented two carriages at the entrance of the village, and the group rushed to the town, along the way Leng Qiuling saw through the curtain of the car is a piece of wasteland, walked for about half an hour, the scenery outside the carriage began to change, first a few thatched houses, and then slowly became brick houses, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
"Three young ladies, Dongyang Town has arrived, get off." As the driver's voice sounded, Cao'er ran down first, and from time to time there was an exclamation in her mouth.
Leng Qiuling raised her eyes and saw that it was when the sun was setting, and the streets were becoming more and more lively, with stalls almost every three meters on both sides, with all kinds of different things on them.
"Miss Leng, where are we going next?" Li Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Shen Sheng.
Leng Qiuling glanced at him with a smile, touched his stomach and said, "Of course I went to eat first, I have been tortured for so long, and I can finally comfort myself." ”
Li Wei swallowed what he wanted to say, although a few people had never been here, but the place where they got off was the most prosperous street in the town, and no one had to take Leng Qiuling to easily find a restaurant that looked good. After ordering a few dishes, Leng Qiuling casually threw the menu to Li Wei and said, "You're welcome, you can order whatever you want." ”
Li Wei picked up the menu and glanced at it, and couldn't help muttering, "This can't be a black shop, a plate of fried vegetables costs fifty yuan, eat people." ”
Hearing Li Wei's words, the tea in Leng Qiuling's mouth almost squirted out, and he coughed for a long time and said, "Hurry up and order, what are you doing so much." ”
Li Wei stubbornly ordered a few of the cheapest ingredients, Leng Qiuling couldn't stand it, took the menu, and said in a calm voice, "You don't need to save me money, I can still ask for a meal." Without waiting for others to object, Leng Qiuling crackled and ordered a few special dishes.
The guy standing on the side went to the back kitchen with the menu with a smile, and after a few minutes, he came over with a pot of tea and said, "Everyone, this is the Biluochun that the shop provides for free, everyone can try it." ”
"Just let it go, we'll pour it ourselves." Zhihua stopped the guy's movements and took the teapot.
It was the time to eat, and after Leng Qiuling and a few people sat down, the restaurant was filled with people one after another, and the voices of several people talking on the seats not far from Leng Qiuling's seat came.
"Lao Liu, I heard that your niece Xu was married to the newly admitted child in Taoyuan Village, is it true?"
"Then there is still a fake, I sue you and my eldest brother have prepared a dowry of two thousand taels of silver, which is the first one in Dongyang Town."
"It's really fake, two thousand taels, that's half of your eldest brother's net worth, is it worth it for a child, what if there is no interest in the future."
"What nonsense, how can there be a problem with the person personally picked by my eldest brother, okay, okay, let's eat, don't talk about this."
Leng Qiuling's tears suddenly flowed down from the big grass sitting across from her, Li Wei and Cao'er also looked angry, Leng Qiuling raised her eyebrows, and said indifferently, "Don't you all know?" Why do you still have this expression? ”
Dacao raised his right hand to wipe away his tears without saying a word, and Cao'er snorted twice, "What a scumbag, beast." ”
Leng Qiuling raised her eyebrows and lowered her head to continue eating, and when the guy brought the last dish, Leng Qiuling was cold
opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Er, do you recognize the fat man on the opposite table?" As he spoke, Zhihua took out a tael of silver from his purse.
The man's eyes lit up, he greedily put away the silver, and said in a low voice, "That's the second master Liu of the auspicious rice shop, who often eats in our small shop, and is very generous, their shop is at the east end of the street, and it will take more than a quarter of an hour to walk from here." ”
Leng Qiuling nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "Second Master Liu, I heard that he has a niece," have you seen it?" ”
"Of course I have seen it, it is a famous beauty in our Dongyang Town." The guy suddenly became excited, and said with a red face, "I am talented and have a good family background, and the people who propose marriage are about to break the threshold, but I heard that Miss Liu seems to have made a marriage, and the other party is still a child, so I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Alright, you go down, I don't have anything more to ask." Leng Qiuling waved his hand, and the guy turned around and left, and after saying a few words, he got a tael of silver, how good it would be if there were such good things every day.
"Dacao, what do you think?" Leng Qiuling raised her head and asked, she was not an arbitrary person, so if she helped, she still wanted to hear the other party's opinion.
Dacao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, sighed and said, "Withdraw from the marriage, as long as it doesn't affect the eldest brother and third sister, I don't care." ”
"Second sister." Cao'er shouted helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to tell you anything, I'll make the decision for you in this matter, just wait and see." ”
Leng Qiuling shrugged her shoulders and didn't speak, picked up her chopsticks and ate slowly, the chef in this shop is not bad, although it is not as good as the General's Mansion, it is not far behind.
Leng Qiuling filled her stomach, and the Li family brothers and sisters also discussed the results, so they went to the rice shop first to take a look and acted on the opportunity.
After settling the account, Leng Qiuling and his party walked in the direction that the guy said, the four big characters of the easternmost auspicious rice shop came into Leng Qiuling's eyes, and a few guys at the door were loading the carriage, and there were stacks of rice bags on the ground not far away.
Leng Qiuling left the Li family brothers and sisters outside, and walked in with Zhihua, the area of the store is very large, almost more than a hundred square meters, and there are piles of goods everywhere, only a square table is set up on the right position, a middle-aged man wearing a hat saw Leng Qiuling come in, and said, "There is no rice today, come back tomorrow, these in the store have been ordered by others." After speaking, he lowered his head and made calculations.
Leng Qiuling looked back and forth in the store, and said with interest, "I want five hundred stone of rice, and it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, how about it." ”
"Five hundred stones." The shopkeeper stood up in surprise, looked incredulous, and asked, "Girl, you remember correctly, five hundred stones is not a small amount, what do you want so many meters for?" ”
"Of course it's useful, the shopkeeper said if he could get it, if not, I'll go to another house." Leng Qiuling made it look like she was leaving, but she was stopped by someone as soon as she arrived at the door, and said with a smile, "There's no need for the girl to go to another house, if we can't get five hundred stones, let alone another house." ”
"Even if you have money, you can't do it." Leng Qiuling raised her eyebrows, she didn't plan to buy rice in the first place, she deliberately raised the quantity a little, just hoping to leave an impression on people and dare to do things later.
The shopkeeper shook his head, but he was not angry, he still smiled and said, "It's not a matter of silver, Dongyang Town is a small town, and there is no way to get five hundred stone of rice in one day, even if it is urgently transported, the time is too tight, if the girl is not in a hurry, she can take some of it first, and the rest will come back in a few days." ”
Leng Qiuling pretended to be embarrassed, and hesitated, "Then how much can you take out first, if it's too little, it's not okay, I need it urgently." ”
