Chapter 85: Jiang Zhu is gone
The argument between the two fell into Hongling's ears downstairs, and she pursed her lips with disdain and muttered silently, "Xiu'en loves to die quickly!" ”
While muttering, he ran away with a "puff".
-------------
In the territory of Luozhou, the meandering Luozhou River winds around the border of Luozhou to the east. The Luohe Wharf in Los Angeles is one of the important transportation fortresses in Los Angeles and the only waterway in Los Angeles.
The Luohe Wharf in the first month, although it is a little cold, but it can't resist the enthusiasm of people's travel, bustling adults and children, with large bags of New Year's gifts, up and down on the wharf. The shouts, the greetings, are endless.
A small passenger boat slowly approached the pier, and the boatman parked the boat steadily, lowered the pedals, and then stood respectfully waiting for the guests to disembark.
"Miss, slow down and be careful."
Qiu Xiang and Chun Yu helped Jiang Zhu out of the cabin, carefully holding Jiang Zhu's two arms. Jiang Zhu's face didn't look good, pale and tired, probably seasick.
Uncle Jiang followed behind the three of them with his baggage, and he also looked worried, Miss's body was relatively weak, and this was a carriage and a boat, and the good people had to be turned upside down.
"Uncle Jiang, go and see if General Qin's family has sent a carriage to pick it up? The young lady is already very tired. ”
Chunyu took the lead in getting off the pedal, then turned around and helped Jiang Zhu down, and said to Uncle Jiang.
"Okay, I'll go, you guys can rest here for a while."
Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Zhu's face, his little face was miserable and pale, it was estimated that he was so seasick and dizzy, he hurriedly took two steps forward, walked in front of the three of them, handed the burden to Qiu Xiang to hold, and then walked towards the crowd by himself.
"Miss, there's a tea shop there, let's go sit there and wait."
Chunyu looked around, there were a lot of people coming and going, there was a tea stall not far away, a simple square table, a few dilapidated stools, it was estimated that the weather was too cold, and there was no one on the tea stall.
Qiu Xiang and Chunyu helped Jiang Zhu to the tea stall, found a relatively clean stool for Jiang Zhu to sit down, and the old woman with a shabby apron stepped forward enthusiastically and asked with a smile,
"A few girls, do you want three bowls of hot tea?"
"Okay, let's have three bowls of hot tea."
Qiu Xiang sat down beside Jiang Zhu, rubbed her somewhat frozen hands, and replied.
Chunyu turned out a red embroidered cloak in the burden and gently draped it on Jiang Zhu.
"Miss, come, put on the cloak, I don't think this is on the boat, but I feel a little cold when I get off the boat, you are weak, don't freeze."
"You're afraid you're freezing too, aren't you?"
Jiang Zhu tightened the cloak on his body, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, it was estimated that it was snowing somewhere, looking at this bright sky, only snow would be like this.
"Come, three girls, your tea is here, drink it quickly, don't freeze on such a cold day."
The old woman walked up to the three with a tray and a smile on her face, and placed the tea bowls in front of them.
"Thank you, auntie."
The three of them thanked each other, and they didn't dislike the hot big thick tea bowl, and drank it when they took it, and suddenly, the whole stomach was warm, but it drove away a lot of cold.
"Uncle Jiang, where is it!"
Qiu Xiang happily waved to Uncle Jiang in the crowd.
Uncle Jiang saw the three of them from a distance, trotted to Jiang Zhu and replied, "Miss, I didn't see the carriage of the Qin Mansion, haven't they arrived yet?" ”
"Impossible, right? The master had already sent someone to deliver a letter to the Qin Mansion, saying that our young lady would arrive this afternoon and asked them to send a car to pick it up. ”
Chunyu frowned and said unhappily.
"Spring rain, maybe there is something delaying in my grandfather's house, right? Why don't we hire a carriage ourselves? ”
Jiang Zhu looked at the sky and proposed, it is almost time, if you continue to rub it off, it will be dark when you go to your grandfather's house.
"It's okay," Uncle Jiang nodded, and instructed Qiu Xiang and Chunyu, "You two take the young lady up this stone step first, wait for me at the intersection above, and I'll go find the carriage and then come to pick you up." ”
"Well, okay, Uncle Jiang, go quickly, go back quickly!"
Chunyu was also anxious, seeing that the young lady was physically exhausted, what if she fainted when she got sick?
After Uncle Jiang left, Qiu Xiang and Chunyu took Jiang Zhu to climb dozens of steps, there was a small street above, and there were quite a lot of pedestrians, Jiang Zhu's stomach came with a "gurgling" sound, she couldn't help blushing a little, because of seasickness, so she didn't eat anything at noon, and now she should be hungry.
"Qiu Xiang, you look at Miss, I'll go buy something to eat."
Chunyu is a very sensible girl, seeing Jiang Zhu like this, she hurriedly said to Qiu Xiang, in fact, she is also hungry.
"Buy more, bring some to Uncle Jiang too, and yours, I guess everyone is the same."
Jiang Zhu stopped Chunyu and ordered.
"Okay young lady, that's what the slave wants."
Chunyu showed a bright smile at Jiang Zhu, she knew that her young lady was the best for them, and she had never treated them badly when she usually ate, let alone outside.
The street is not big, but there are many pedestrians, and there are many small shops that buy all kinds of pastries and steamed buns...... The whole nine yards.
Chunyu came to a steamed bun shop, the fragrant meat white seeds were steaming in the steamer, exuding bursts of tempting fragrance, for the spring rain whose stomach had already sung the empty city plan, the degree of temptation can be imagined, so she bought ten big meat buns in one go, planning to have two for each of the four of them, and the remaining two in case who is not full?
On the way back, Chunyu kept resisting the urge to drool, and planned to give her young lady a bite to eat first.
It's just that when she found Chunyu, she "chuckled" in her heart, and instantly forgot her rumbling belly, because she saw Qiu Xiang standing alone in the middle of the road crying.
"Akika, where's Miss? What are you crying about? "Pythagorean Library
Chunyu stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Xiang's arm, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Spring rain, miss... Miss, she's gone... Woo woo woo, Miss is gone, what should I do? Spring rain, Miss is gone, I can't find her....."
Qiu Xiang shook Chunyu's arm with her backhand, and crystal tears fell down from the corners of her eyes like pearls with broken threads, and she cried incoherently.
"Smack"!
A large bag of buns in Chunyu's hand fell to the ground at once, rolling all over the ground, and was trampled back and forth by the hurried pedestrians around a few feet, and the white and tender buns were full of black footprints, with dust and dirt, completely losing its original beautiful appearance.
"Buns?"
Qiu Xiang looked at the buns on the ground and swallowed her saliva.
"What else to eat? Why don't you hurry up and find a young lady? You don't want to die, huh? ”
Chunyu angrily shook off Qiu Xiang's hand, pulled her and walked towards the crowd.
"Miss! Miss! Where are you? Asked you to look at Miss, what do you think? How can a big living person disappear into thin air? ”
Chunyu was looking around, while constantly scolding Qiu Xiang, who was still sobbing, if the two of them lost the young lady, would they still be able to go back to Jiang's Mansion? Not to mention going back to Jiang Mansion, this Qin Mansion won't let them go, right?
"I... Miss said she was tired, she squatted on the side of the road to rest for a while, just someone patted me on the shoulder and asked me for directions, I said I don't know, but the person pestered me and asked others, and when I turned around, I didn't see Miss's figure, I didn't mean to, who knew that Miss Kung Fu would be lost for a while? ”
Qiu Xiang looked around, her eyes searched for the familiar little face in the crowd, and she was so aggrieved in her heart, it stands to reason that since the young lady is already very tired, she won't move around at will!
However, in broad daylight, where did a big living person go?
"Miss! Miss, where are you? ”
Akika also called while looking for it.
"Excuse me, do you see my young lady?"
She asked, grabbing a passerby.
"Nope."
"Have you seen a pretty young lady in a red cloak? Probably that tall......"
Chunyu eagerly described Jiang Zhu's appearance to passers-by, and the hope in his eyes ignited again and again, and was extinguished again and again.
"No, I don't see it."
Passers-by shook their heads indifferently.
"Have you seen a beautiful girl with a pale face?"
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Didn't see ......"
Qiu Xiang and Chunyu were on the dock, at the intersection of the small streets, asking everyone who passed by, but their answers made the two little girls feel like falling into an ice cellar, because their young lady had no clue at all.
"Spring rain, why don't we look for it separately?"
Qiu Xiang proposed with a crying voice, her stomach was already so hungry, but now that none of them could take care of food, and they couldn't find Miss, how could they go back to the errand?
"No way!"
Chunyu replied, "If we are separated now, where will we go to find us when Uncle Jiang comes?" ”
"Then why don't we look for it together when Uncle Jiang comes?"
Qiu Xiang was so anxious that she was about to cry, she always felt that the person who asked for directions just now deliberately asked her to turn her back to her own miss, or was the young lady abducted?
Thinking of this possibility, Qiu Xiang felt that she was afraid that her life would not be long in coming.
Although the young lady usually treats them very well and never treats them as human beings, the lord and the lady are different!
The lord and the lady are very fond of the miss, the lady is their heart and soul baby, since the child has been held in the hand for fear of falling, in the mouth for fear of melting, usually the door does not go out of the door, if it is not for the special situation this time, the old lady is reluctant to let the young lady leave home alone to come to the Qin Mansion.
"It's all your fault, let you look at Miss, can't you concentrate? How can you get the young lady out of your sight? A place like the dock is so chaotic, and there are people from all walks of life, who knows if there are any bad people? Miss's health is not good either...."
Chunyu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, scolded Qiu Xiang angrily, and couldn't help but cry herself.
"Miss... Miss, where the hell have you been? Miss..."
"Miss... Boom... Miss, don't scare the slaves! Miss..."
Qiu Xiang also cried.
It was getting late, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, and passers-by were hurrying to and fro, and perhaps one or two people were a little curious about why these two girls were crying here, but more people had an attitude of not caring about themselves, so no one came to ask them why they were crying.
"Akika? Spring? What about Miss? ”
Uncle Jiang personally drove a carriage to the two of them, jumped off the wheel, and asked suspiciously.
When he saw the red and swollen eyes of the two, he was stunned, and the hand holding the horsewhip inadvertently trembled twice, and he increased his voice and shouted,
"Where has the young lady gone? Also, what are you two crying about here? ”
"Speak!"
