Chapter 44: Grandpa Bai in the Hundred Grass Pavilion
Bai Zhengyan's pharmacy was opened on the busiest street in the city, and in addition to him, there was also a guy in the pharmacy, his wife had passed away a long time ago, and his children did not live with him.
The eldest son is the village chief of the Bai family, but he can come over often, and the younger son even has his true inheritance, he went to the capital to open a pharmacy more than 20 years ago, and it is rare to come back once in a few years, and there are two daughters, because of the red line given by the younger son, they are married to people with good conditions in the capital.
There is a private school not far from his pharmacy, which is opened by people from Baijia Village, this is the private school that Lan Feiyan said before, and there are several rice shops on the other side.
Coincidentally, at the back of the street is a brothel, and after a few minutes of turning the corner, there is Diaofu, that is, Diaofu is the street behind the pharmacy.
The three of them stopped in front of a big shop, Chen Yueyue raised her head, looked at the plaque above, and muttered: "Baicao Pavilion, Yan'er, this name is interesting." ”
Lan Feiyan also saw the three big red characters on it, and she nodded, "It's very nice." ”
Hu Lin was not surprised to see that they recognized the words on the plaque, after all, in the past few days, they had surprised him too much, and he didn't want to delve into it.
At this time, the door in the pharmacy was still wide open, and on one side of the wall were many wooden drawers, and the names of herbs were written on the drawers, and then inside was a long row of wooden counters, next to the counter, near the door, there was a table, and Bai Zhengyan was sitting at the table, with a serious face, talking to a man about fifty years old and wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt, this person was Bai Zhengyan's eldest son Bai Xin.
Behind Bai Xin, there was a young man in his twenties wearing a light blue tights, he was Bai Xin's youngest son, called Bai Yong.
On the other side of the room was a large wooden table, with many chairs beside it.
"Uncle Hu, when you go in for a while, you will say that we are here to play in the city for a few days, don't say anything about looking for Xiaowu."
Hu Lin was strange, Uncle Bai was very good, why didn't he tell him the truth?
"Yan'er, Uncle Bai is a good person, I don't think we need to guard against him."
Chen Yueyue said: "Yan'er, in case Grandpa Bai recognizes you, isn't it good for us to panic him?" ”
Lan Feiyan looked at the wide sleeves at her wrists, and she pondered, even if Grandpa Bai recognized herself, he would just treat himself as a small mist, and he shouldn't be tight.
"I'm not suspicious of Grandpa Bai, I'm afraid that there are a lot of people here, if Master Diao knows, then wouldn't we be in danger."
Hu Lin nodded and walked straight inside.
Bai Zhengyan moved his gaze to the person who came, and when he saw that it was Hu Lin, he immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Xiaolin, why are you here so late?"
Hu Lin smiled honestly and said, "Uncle Bai, I came today because I want to ask you for something." ”
Bai Xin on the side took his hand and seemed to be very familiar, "It turned out to be Brother Hu, come, sit down and talk here." ”
Bai Zhengyan knew that Hu Lin had always disliked to trouble others, so when he heard him say that he had something to rely on, he knew that it was an important matter.
"Xiaolin, just say something."
Hu Lin pointed to the two people who had already followed in, and said, "Uncle Bai, these two, the two sons are from the countryside and want to play in the city for a few days, I wonder if you have a place to live here?" ”
Bai Zhengyan saw Hu Lin's eyes dodging, he squinted, and looked at the two little dolls dressed in gorgeous clothes again.
After a while, he stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am usually the only one living in this backyard, and there are three empty rooms next to it, you can come and live." ”
Lan Feiyan and Chen Yueyue looked at each other and smiled, saluted, and said, "Then thank you Grandpa Bai." ”
At the moment when Lan Feiyan lowered his head slightly, Bai Zhengyan showed a strange expression on his face, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
Bai Xin patted Hu Lin on the shoulder, and said regretfully: "Alas, Brother Hu, you should have come earlier, we both missed a good show!" ”
Hu Lin looked at Bai Zhengyan strangely.
"Don't look at my father, he doesn't know it to me, let me tell you, today there are two little girls in the yamen who sue their uncle and aunt! I heard that my aunt is from Zhangjia Village, guess what, how did the county magistrate judge in the end? ”
"Do you guess that the county magistrate is helping the Zhang family?"
Hu Lin was not good at talking about panic, his face was flushed, and Mu Na said: "I, I don't know!" ”
Bai Xin smiled, "Don't say you don't know, even I didn't expect that the county order would put the people of Zhangjia Village in prison!" That's weird! Help me inquire next time, which two little girls in your Chenjia Village are so powerful! ”
Hu Lin nodded awkwardly, he really couldn't lie, so he had to not speak.
Bai Zhengyan seemed to see Hu Lin's embarrassment, and hurriedly interrupted Bai Xin's words, "Okay, are you going to go back, or do you want to live here?" ”
Bai Xin looked at his father at this time, he picked up a few packets of herbs on the table, and said, "I'd better go back, this medicine will have to be fried for Gui Niang to drink tomorrow morning." ”
Gui Niang is his wife, because she suffered a little cold, so she came to the city to find her father to grab medicine.
Bai Yong, who had not spoken, also said at this time: "Dad, then you go back early, it will be late to close the city gate, remember to let my mother take good care of her body, I will go to see her when I am free." ”
Bai Xin glared at him, "Why didn't you remind me earlier, you rabbit cub." ”
He turned around and shouted at Bai Zhengyan, "Dad, then I'll go first." After saying that, he ran out of the door in a hurry, and drove back in the ox cart.
Bai Yong looked at the back of his father leaving, he was angry and funny, and he said to Bai Zhengyan: "Grandfather, that grandson has also left." ”
"It's so late, aren't you staying here?"
"No, I still have a mission!"
Bai Zhengyan shook his head, isn't his little grandson just working as a buyer in the barracks! It's just that he wants to buy what vegetables to buy today and what vegetables to buy tomorrow, and he hasn't been reused by the general, what task can he have!
After Bai Yong left, Bai Zhengyan slowly walked to the door, pointed to the door panel and said to Hu Lin: "Xiao Lin, come over here and help me close the wooden door." ”
When Hu Lin heard this, he stepped forward, put the two large door panels back into the door frame, and then put a thick deadbolt in the middle of the door.
Hu Lin turned his head and said, "Uncle Bai, the door is locked." ”
Bai Zhengyan picked up the oil lamp on the table and smiled at the two little girls: "Let's go, let's go back to the backyard." ”
Lan Feiyan and a few people followed.
