Chapter 19 Plan (1)
"Young master, give. Xuan'er saw Xiao Yi walking towards her, and immediately greeted her, and handed Xiao Yi the oil-paper umbrella that she had put away at the beginning in her hand.
"Hmm. Xiao Yi took the umbrella and didn't say much.
Xuan'er didn't ask anything, the two of them walked on this muddy path as when they first came, one after the other, and the distance was just right, not close or far.
The groom waited at the place where they had entered, and when they had not yet come, he sat down on the carriage, looked at the carriage, and got drunk. He wore a hood on his body and a hat on his head, which was placed on the side of his face, just enough to cover the groom's eyes. It was more comfortable to sleep this way, and the devil knew when the guest he was waiting for would return.
"Groom, wake up!" Xuan'er gently pushed the groom who was sleeping lightly.
In fact, they didn't leave for a long time, only about two incense sticks. I don't know if the groom was too tired, or what's wrong, I always felt that they had come back in less than a stick of incense, and he was about to start driving again, with a hint of helplessness.
"Aha... Guest, you're back?" the groom woke up and yawned.
"Hmm. Go to the Rifle Inn. Xiao Yi said.
"All right, guest officer, please!" said the groom, who lifted the curtain and let them both get into the carriage.
When the groom saw that they were seated, he waved his whip, and the horse let out a long roar, and began to drive.
The two of them in the car had completely lost their sleepiness, Xuan'er was afraid of embarrassment and kept playing with the handkerchief in her hand, while Xiao Yi looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Young master, do we have anything to do when we go to the inn?" Xuan'er saw that Xiao Yi hadn't said a word since she got into the carriage, so she began to chatter.
Xuan'er saw that Xiao Yi didn't seem to move, so she shouted again, "Young Master?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xuan'er raised her decibels, and Xiao Yi came back to her senses.
"I said, what are we going to do when we get to the inn?"
"What's the matter? It's almost dark, what else can I do, let's rest for the night. ”
Xuan'er: "..."This still doesn't make people talk, Xuan'er is a little tired.
"By the way, young master, I heard that the master said that we came here this time to deal with the exchange of goods here in Suzhou, right?" Xuan'er continued to talk about the topic.
"Hmm. ”
Xuan'er: "..."I'm a good girl, is this more than half a sentence of speculation? I didn't think Xiao Yi was such a cold person before, how do I feel that he seems to have become a little different, really tired!
The lord also said that this merchant in Suzhou and the lord are old friends, and the two families have been in contact for more than 20 years, whether in business or in other aspects, they get along very well, why don't we go to visit directly? They must also be very welcome! Then we can live with them directly, and we don't have to look for an inn to save trouble. ”
"The lord is on good terms with them, but that's the lord, not us, if we can not disturb others, don't bother, this time we are here to deal with business, not to catch up. Xiao Yi was a little annoyed. "Besides, I don't think the guest house is very troublesome, Suzhou is such a big place, can't you find a place to live?"
"Yes, yes, what the young master said is right, it's Xuan'er who didn't think about it enough. This is the first time Xuan'er has seen Xiao Yi angry, and she was a little at a loss for a while.
"Moreover, we came to check the accounts this time, and there was something wrong with the discrepancies, so we came. Shall we not startle the snake, lest other disturbed and well-meaning people do their own things in advance, and then will not they fall short?"
"The specific reason has not yet been ascertained, if we act rashly, if it is not their reason, we will make a big mistake, the business of the two families will be ruined because of us, and the old relationship will be ruined because of us. If it's really their fault, don't we have to find evidence as well? If it's justified, they won't be able to quibble when the time comes. ”
As soon as Xuan'er heard Xiao Yi's analysis, she felt like a pig's brain, although she didn't know the purpose of the young master's visit, and she shouldn't change the young master's plan at will! Xuan'er, who has always been cautious in handling things, felt that everything was messed up when she met Xiao Yi.
"Yes, young master. Xuan'er was helpless, she could only listen, unable to say half a word. Alas, I can't speak well, but it's the first time for Xuan'er to hold back and be speechless like this.
"Well, you know, are there any questions?" Xiao Yi pouted and looked at Xuan'er emotionlessly. It's not like a familiar person at all, it's more like a stranger who says hello to each other.
Xuan'er felt bitter in her heart, looking at Xiao Yi with some loss, eager to see a trace of emotion in Xiao Yi's eyes, but no. Xuan'er looked at Xiao Yi and shook her head, and then stopped talking.
Suzhou City is said to be deserted, but it is not deserted, and it is not lively to say that it is lively. It was getting dark, so the streets weren't as crowded with vendors as they had been when they first arrived, except for a few who were closing the stalls and a few who were buying something to go home before it got dark.
The groom dropped them off at the inn and left. When she got out of the car, Xuan'er saw a rock sugar gourd seller at the door, her eyes stayed on it, she wanted to buy it, but she didn't have the money, so she shook her head helplessly and prepared to leave. But this scene was seen by Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi took out a few copper coins from the money bag and threw them to Xuan'er, asking her to buy them, and then look for him in the inn. Xuan'er was also happy, and immediately took the copper coin and went to buy sugar gourds.
Xiao Yi let Xiao Er open two rooms, and then sat at the table next to him and waited for Xuan'er.
On the first day they went, Xuan'er slept well and seemed to be particularly adapted to the environment over there. But Xiao Yi was sleepless all night, and he barely fell asleep when the rooster crowed in the morning.
The next day, Xuan'er got up early in the morning, passed by Xiao Yi's door and found that he hadn't gotten up yet, so she went out for a walk alone.
"Steamed buns!"
"The best satin, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Freshly brewed wine, guest officer, would you like to try it?"
“...”
Even if Xuan'er gets up early and goes out, the street has already been set up by various vendors, and it feels as if she can make more money by leaving the stall early. Xuan'er looked left and right on the street, but didn't buy it, of course, there was only one reason for this, she had no money. Originally, before going out, the lord gave Xuan'er a sum of money, but Xuan'er put it all there with Xiao Yi under the excuse of being afraid of losing it. This girl is also sincere, and she doesn't even keep a coin for herself.
So Xuan'er gave full play to her ability to go shopping, only looking at it and not buying it, only smelling it. She would never tell anyone that she did it just because she was poor, she couldn't afford it, and she couldn't afford it.
Xuan'er was a little tired from shopping, touched her hungry stomach, and turned back to the inn. After all, you can live there, of course, it is also a package of food, if you don't eat for nothing, she has to eat more, hum!
