Chapter 25: Willing
In the wing, Yu Qingqing had already asked Xiao Er to prepare bath water in advance.
stepped forward to test the temperature of the water, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Walnut while taking a handkerchief to wipe his hands: "You take a good bath, I am outside the wing, and if you have something to call me, it will be done." After saying that, he bypassed the screen, closed the door and went out.
In the hall of the inn, Poplar and several people sat in the corner drinking tea, stepping on the dart box under their feet.
Seeing Yu Qingqing coming out, he beckoned: "Brother Awu." ”
Yu Qingqing walked over with a smile, poured a cup of tea with a teapot, and swept it away from everyone seated: "You have worked hard these days, brothers, replace wine with tea, and do it first as a respect." ”
Poplar and the others drank the tea in the cup with a smile.
Yu Qingqing sat down at this time, and then took out the dart sheet from her arms, turned around and asked Xiao Er for pen and ink.
Bai Yang looked puzzled and said, "Brother Ah Wu, what are you doing?" ”
Yu Qingqing said: "Calling me brother and brother these days, I really like you." ”
"If I have the chance, I'll go and drink with you!"
"But there is a banquet in the world, and this dart is over today."
Poplar was moved when he heard it, and his heart was also reluctant.
But Wen Yan still said: "The owner of the Ah Wu brothers hasn't come yet, is this dart going to end now?" ”
"I've told the hawker to pass the word." Yu Qingqing said with a smile: "Moreover, this place is Yongzhou, which is our territory, don't brag about it, I can respond to every call on this street." ”
"The darts are placed here, 10,000 safely."
When Poplar heard him say this, he was relieved.
The two signed the dart list, cleared the dart, and then Bai Yang opened the elm dart box, took out a small arm-long, two-palm-wide black lacquer box, and solemnly handed it to Yu Qingqing's hand.
Yu Qingqing took the box, and then sent Poplar out.
Bai Yang stood outside the inn and glanced in the direction where the vendor left, turned his head to see Yu Qingqing jokingly holding the box that had been protected by them all the way, frowning, and feeling very uneasy.
Even though the dart had already been completed, Poplar still sent three or five people to check around.
Yu Qingqing's heart was moved, and she smiled: "Brother Bai is too worried. ”
"Yongzhou is the fief of His Royal Highness King Fu, and the security here is the best."
"I've heard of it." Bai Yang smiled: "It's just that you should be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, so that Brother Ah Wu will laugh." ”
Yu Qingqing won't laugh at him.
He shook his hand solemnly and said, "Thank you, Brother Bai." ”
After a quarter of an hour, the people who were sent out came back and said that there was nothing unusual around, so Bai Yang was relieved, waved goodbye to Yu Qingqing, and the group went out of the city.
Yu Qingqing watched the person walk away, and then retracted her gaze.
Looking down at the box in his hand, he opened the gap between his two or three fingers, glanced in and closed it.
After waiting for half a cup of tea in the hall, I saw the vendor walk in with a bag of things, and after seeing Yu Qingqing's location clearly, he walked over with a smile: "Little brother, I bought the things you wanted, you can see if there is anything missing." As he spoke, he neatly dispersed the burden.
Pointing to the smoky pink cotton dress inside, he said, "The size of the clothes was bought according to the orders of the little brother, compared to the size of my daughter." ”
"And these gold sore medicines, they were all bought in the security hall."
Yu Qingqing twisted her clothes with her fingertips, it felt very fine and soft, and it was a fine cotton cloth.
For the injury of the walnut body, it is more comfortable to wear such materials.
She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, uncle." As he spoke, he took out some pieces of silver.
The peddler took the broken silver and said with a smile: "I have been setting up a stall there all the year round, and the little brother will come to me again if he needs anything." ”
Yu Qingqing nodded in response and returned to the wing room with her baggage.
Walnut in the wing room had just finished taking a shower and was about to get dressed, when he heard the sound of the door opening and was startled: "It's... Is it a husband? ”
Yu Qingqing laughed unconsciously when she heard this salutation, closed the door and bolted it, and said, "It's me." ”
She took out her dress and put it on the screen, and said, "This is the dress I bought for you, don't wear that old dress anymore." ”
Walnut took off his clothes, held them in his hand, looked at them, and touched them carefully, but he didn't dare to wear them.
Instead, he looked at the figure behind the screen and said worriedly: "Husband, this dress is very expensive, right?" ”
For as long as she can remember, her parents have scolded her for losing money, and she has never had her share in eating, drinking, and dressing decently at home, all of which belong to her brother and brother.
The old dress was one of the few she could still wear.
She is very worried that Ah Wu will dislike her like her parents in the future, so she must avoid spending too much, let alone becoming a burden to Ah Wu.
Thinking like this, she put her dress back and said, "Actually, I... My old clothes are still worn. ”
Yu Qingqing looked at the clothes she put back, raised her eyebrows, and pretended to regret: "Okay, since you don't want it, I'll take this clothes and give them away." As she spoke, she grabbed the corner of her clothes hanging outside the screen, and felt a force in the screen holding her, and she let go of her hand with a smile.
Walnut was anxious when he heard that he was going to give it away, and hurriedly dragged his clothes back and hugged them in his arms, with a posture that no one wanted to rob.
Hurriedly said: "Why does the husband want to give it to others?" ”
Yu Qingqing sat down on the circle chair next to the screen, poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "If you don't wear it, the store won't let it go, and it's a waste to put it on hold, so it's better to send it out for favors." ”
"How can you not return? What a black-hearted store. Walnut felt sorry for the silver and couldn't help complaining.
But if you give away the clothes, you will take her heart off.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, you can wear it on your body with both hands and feet.
Yu Qingqing listened to the sparse sound behind the screen, pursed her lips and smiled.
But when Walnut came out, she couldn't laugh.
Washing away the stains on her body, the bruises on her face were even more obvious, and the wounds on her head soaked in water were also terrifying, she looked at it and twisted her eyebrows, and said with annoyance: "I should take the medicine first." ”
Walnut saw that he was sad and seemed to cry, and hurriedly said, "I don't hurt." ”
Yu Qingqing sniffed, and didn't talk to her about pain or not.
Putting down the teacup, he took out the gold sore medicine from his baggage and said, "Come here, sit next to me." ”
Walnut glanced at the chair next to him, a little embarrassed, but walked over anyway.
Yu Qingqing pinched a cotton swab and dipped it in gold sore medicine, and carefully applied it to her scalp: "Tell me if it hurts." ”
"It doesn't hurt." Walnut opened her big flickering eyes, sat without moving, looked very well-behaved, and pursed her lips when she heard the words: "When my parents beat me, it hurt a lot more than this." ”
Yu Qingqing's heart was distressed when she heard this, and her hands became lighter and lighter.
"Walnut, there are some things I want to tell you in advance."
"I'm not a stable and wealthy person, I have a lot of things to do, and doing these things can't avoid hardship."
"If you follow me, I'm afraid you won't be safe."
"But I promise that whatever kind of life I live, I will give you what kind of life."
"In the future, when you grow up and understand the dangers of the world, if you want to leave, I will send you away."
Walnuts do understand little, but she still understands what it means to be sold and bought.
Originally, she was afraid of the days ahead.
But listening to the gentle voice in her ears at this moment, her heart settled down.
"I'm willing to follow my husband."
"No matter what the day, I'm willing."
