Chapter Thirty-Seven: Traveling in a Carriage
Qin Li and Bai Yunyao were strolling in the backyard, and took this opportunity to mention to Bai Yunyao how she wanted to treat Mozhu.
After Bai Yunyao heard this, she nodded in support.
"Okay, Sister Li'er, whatever you think, just do it. If there is anything you need my help with, just ask Ziqin to come and tell me, and I will help you. ”
Qin Li listened and smiled happily, "Okay." ”
Meanwhile.
Guo Shi sat in the private room, and after listening to what Ziqin said, he asked: "You saw it with your own eyes, did the young lady wear earrings to the backyard today, or did the old lady wear the earrings that the young lady gave to the young lady before her death?" ”
Ziqin replied very firmly:
"Exactly."
Guo Shi looked at Ziqin with stunned eyes, "Wasn't that pair of earrings stolen by Moyu a long time ago and never looked for them?" Could it be that Yun'er helped her find the earrings and specially sent them to her? ”
In order to find out some things, Guo said to Ziqin:
"You go and prepare a carriage, and the old man will take Li'er and Yun'er out for a walk."
There are some things that are not easy to ask Li'er at home, and it is much more convenient to ask again when you sit in the carriage or go outside.
Guo Shi saw Ziqin go out, took his money bag with him, and went to the backyard.
As soon as he saw Qin Li and Bai Yunyao, Guo's face was filled with a warm smile, and he said, "Li'er, Yun'er, I heard Ziqin say that over there in Jiayu Port, there is another luxury merchant ship docked today, it seems that it is a merchant ship heading to Liuyuan Country, and it has returned." ”
Qin Li's face was delighted, and he hurriedly pleaded:
"Mother, the child hasn't been to see a merchant ship for a few days, and I want to see what treasures are on those merchant ships."
Guo squinted and smiled, reached out and gently rubbed Qin Li's forehead, and said:
"Okay, Li'er, my mother promised you to take you there. While your sister Yun'er is also here, let her go with us, so that I can take care of you. ”
Bai Yunyao was happy to do it, "Okay, Aunt Qin." Don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to take good care of Sister Li'er. ”
After that, he helped Qin Li and followed behind Guo's family, and the three of them walked out of the courtyard of the Qin Mansion together.
Out of the compound, Qin Li's two mothers and daughters took a carriage with Bai Yunyao and went to Jiayu Wharf.
Qin Li wanted to sit by the window, open the window, and look at the scenery outside. But Guo refused, saying that although the sun was spoken, it was already early winter. I was worried that as soon as she opened the window, the cold wind would get into the carriage and make them catch a cold.
That's not good.
In desperation, Qin Li had no choice but not to open the window.
Listening to the "squeak" sound of the car rolling over the road, Qin Li felt so boring. So I found a topic and chatted with Bai Yunyao.
"Sister Yun'er, I'm at home these days, and I've also taught myself the original dialect of Xialu. When we got to the merchant ship in a while, I talked to them in Ryuhara. Oh, I'll see if I can buy the most satisfying thing at the least price. ”
The so-called "self-taught", that's bragging. Because she had learned a few foreign languages when she was in the New World, she hadn't forgotten anything since she came here.
Guo vaguely remembered that Ziqin had told her that the young lady had found a few books in the study, which were books in the original script of Ryuyuan. She also said that the young lady understood those books, and she read them for a long time......
Regarding the fact that Qin Li can teach himself Liuyuan, Guo, who is a mother, believes it. However, considering that you should be humble, in front of Bai Yunyao, it is not good to praise Qin Li too directly, so she had to smile and say:
"You've just learned a little bit about it, and occasionally follow me to the docks, hang out on merchant ships, and hear a few words of Ryuhara."
"Your sister Yun'er is often by the dock, working in the shop with your Aunt Bai, and you can get in touch with many noblewomen from the Ryukin Kingdom. In terms of speaking the original dialect, you can learn more from your sister Yun'er. ”
When Bai Yunyao heard this, she smiled embarrassedly and told Guo Shidao:
"Aunt Qin, you look at me too much. Actually, I can understand a little bit of Ryuhara dialect at most, but if I really use Ryuhara dialect to talk to them, I can't say it well. Sometimes, when I say it, I don't know what I'm talking about. ”
Qin Li could tell that Bai Yunyao was too modest.
But she would have spoken Ryuhara, and she didn't want to be so modest. Similarly, she didn't want Bai Yunyao to be too humble. So he told Bai Yunyao in standard Liuyuan dialect:
"......" I don't believe it. If it is really as Sister Yun'er said, if you can't speak the Liuyuan dialect well, then I will still hear others say that some noblewomen in the Liuyuan Kingdom will reward you and Aunt Bai with money after receiving the clothes?
Bai Yunyao pursed her lips and smiled, "It may be related to their living habits, or maybe they think that it is not easy for me and my mother to open a pulp washing room, and they just have extra silver taels in their hands, so they rewarded us with some money." ”
"Yo, is that so?" Qin Li looked envious and said to Bai Yunyao:
"Then I will go to your shop today, and if I see the noble ladies of the Ryuyuan Kingdom, I will tell them that I am your sister. In this way, I will be able to share the reward. ”
Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed in Bai Yunyao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said:
"Okay. You can't say you're my sister, though. Because you're my sister. ”
"yes, okay." Qin Li happily agreed.
The two of them were talking and laughing in the carriage, and after a while, they rushed to the riverside.
Guo said to the little guy who was driving: "When you get to the intersection in front, stop and wait for a few of us to get off, and then you drive to Jiayu Inn, where you can wait for us." The old man had to take Miss and Miss Yun'er to go shopping. ”
"Yes, ma'am." The little guy replied.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
Qin Li was helped out of the car by Bai Yunyao.
After getting out of the carriage, Qin Li subconsciously looked at the pulp washing room opened by Aunt Bai. At this look, I saw a small shop, the door of the store was closed, and the number of cards that had been hung on it was also removed.
Qin Li inevitably felt puzzled in his heart:
Aunt Bai took Sister Yun'er to open a shop, and they have been open for many years, how could they see them closing the shop when they came to see it today?
Logically speaking, no.
The shop is located on this side of the port, and the rent is very expensive.
Although it is winter, there are still large merchant ships docking. As far as Aunt Bai and her sisters are concerned, as long as there are guests coming, they will have the opportunity to wash their clothes, and they can easily earn some silver taels.
She didn't understand, Aunt Bai had cherished such a good opportunity for many years, how could she suddenly give up?
Qin Li asked Bai Yunyao beside him:
"Sister Yun'er, I want to go to your shop to have a look, I really want to meet Aunt Bai."
Bai Yunyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "Sister Li'er, let's go see it another day, my mother...... It's not in the shop. ”
Qin Li recalled that when she was in the carriage before, she mentioned the Bai family's shop, and Bai Yunyao's eyes became dim. At this time, she mentioned the Bai family's shop again, but Bai Yunyao still refused.
It seems that Bai Yunyao must have encountered something difficult to close the shop.
Qin Li pleaded:
"Sister Yun'er, after my accident, you and Aunt Bai helped us a lot. Have you encountered any difficulties, tell me? ”
