Chapter 34: Going Far Away
Life suddenly entered a bottleneck period.
At the moment, she can only take one step at a time, and go to the town another day to see what good business opportunities there are, as a senior foodie, she has no cooking skills, maybe she can be a chef to make some extra money.
Thinking like this, there is no impatience just now.
For dinner, I made pumpkin porridge with pumpkin given by Aunt Sun, and made a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork and vegetarian fried cabbage, plus the white flour steamed buns sent by Zhang Qiuju in the afternoon, which can be regarded as a hearty dinner.
After eating, he packed pumpkin porridge and vegetarian stir-fried cabbage for the master, and made dandelions and pears stewed with rock sugar and pear water, and put them in the lunch box to send to the master.
The master looked at the vegetables and soup in front of him, and the aroma couldn't stop drilling into his nose, and even his stomach, which had not eaten for many years because of illness, was shouting.
"Cough cough, cough cough" After eating, there was another cough, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped the master to smooth his back, and when the cough was a little better, he sent warm rock sugar pear juice to the master.
After drinking it in one gulp, I only felt that my throat was not so swollen and painful, and even the cough just now was relieved a lot.
And this is not as bitter as Chinese medicine, the master drank it in three or two sips.
"Ahem, this is pear juice?"
"That's right, I added dandelion to clear heat and detoxify, which is helpful for your cough."
The master smiled and said, "You know a lot." ”
"Usually boring, I read it in some idle books."
The master pulled his beard, coughed a few more times, and said, "You are talented, why don't you go to my study to pick up a few medical books?" Pick a few sideways to hold useless things. ”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, sure enough, the master has dedicated his life to the imperial examination, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a nerd, so he naturally looks down on those who hold martial arts miscellaneous, and according to her understanding in the past few days, this dynasty has always admired literature and weak martial arts since the founding of the dynasty, otherwise the emperor of a small country on the border can fight to recruit troops in such a remote mountain village.
"The body is the capital of the revolution, and only when the body is good can you learn better, you say?"
"That's right."
Finally met a girl who was not afraid of himself and was willing to be his granddaughter, of course the master would not easily let go of Su Xiaoxiao and pulled her to play a game of chess, Su Xiaoxiao learned a few moves of Go with his grandfather when he was a child, but his chess skills were not good, and he was reluctant to play with the master, and he was always let by the master, and the two of them also played in the past.
When I came back from the master, I met Aunt Sun again on the way, and Aunt Sun quickly stepped forward and took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao." I was about to look for you, I heard Qin Xiucai say that you calculated my account? ”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Qin Mo suspiciously, she remembered that she only wrote and drew on the white paper, and did not write it in the account book, could it be......
Qin Mo nodded at her, Su Xiaoxiao knew that it was Qin Mo who helped her get up.
It is generously admitted.
Aunt Sun took Su Xiaoxiao's hand like a treasure: "It's really good, I'm just going to deliver the goods these days, and I'm worried that no one understands it, you said that Qin Xiucai has been preparing for the study of the neighboring village recently, and he is very busy, and he can't accompany me to the city, Xiaoxiao, you will go with the eldest lady?" ”
"Studying in a neighboring village? Is Xianggong going far away? Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Mo with some doubts, he hadn't mentioned it either.
Aunt Sun looked at Qin Mo and then at Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and said: "It is an old tradition in several villages near us to study in this neighboring village, that is, some gentlemen take a few students to the school in the neighboring village to exchange and study, the journey is not far away, at most five or six days, I also listened to Da Zhuang's mother, in the past, Li Fuzi took it, but this year I heard that Li Fuzi was sick, and Qin Xiucai took it." ”
"But don't worry, it's in the nearby village, it's very close, and you don't have to worry too much."
Su Xiaoxiao is naturally not worried, after all, he is the male protagonist of this book, and there will be nobles to help him wherever he goes, maybe he can even have a golden finger.
After talking about the things that the neighboring village was studying, he returned to the main story, "The eldest lady will not let you work in vain, give you this number!" He stretched out his hand and gestured a five-word gesture.
"Five runs?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little shocked, usually the rent given by the village chief is only two times, and she was a little shocked that she could earn five times by calculating an account.
Aunt Sun patted Su Xiaoxiao's hand and laughed: "Silly girl, it's five taels!" ”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless on the spot, she worked hard to buy herbs to earn five taels of silver, Aunt Sun said five taels of silver, this is really a rich person!
However, Su Xiaoxiao was still very curious, so she helped calculate how there was so much silver, "Aunt Sun, just send a trip, and you don't need so much silver!" ”
"This time the order is from the rich and noble families in the city, and the deposit alone is enough to give ten taels of silver, and I give you a small amount! The food and drink on the road Lazar Aunt is all inclusive, and it will take two days to go back and forth, the first day we will deliver, this is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many strange things in the city, and then we will buy something, and come back the next day, do you see it? ”
Su Xiaoxiao was sour, she was still happy just now, and someone sent a pillow just about to fall asleep, and now she heard that people casually paid a deposit for her family's savings for a year, it was really the willfulness of a rich man!
However, in this way, even if some of the financial problems were solved, and the time to go to the town was discussed with Aunt Sun before following Qin Mo into the house.
After entering the room, Su Xiaoxiao began to ask Qin Mo about going out.
"When will Xianggong leave? Which village to go to? How many people are there? How many days to go? In his hand, he kept rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for Qin Mo to clean up this thing.
"I'll leave tomorrow, and the time for my return hasn't been decided yet, so you don't have to worry."
Of course she wasn't worried, but there was always a feeling of worry about sending her son to her mother, and she always wanted to be ready for everything.
"After all, this is a long away, not like staying at home, and it is inconvenient to eat." Saying that, he took out the two new clothes he bought last time, "Xianggong, why don't you wear the new clothes you bought, I unilaterally decided, tomorrow you wear this pale blue Xiujinyun robe, this crescent-white gown will be replaced on the road, and you don't bring the white-faced steamed buns, I will make fresh ones for you tomorrow." "I also sorted out a change of shoes and socks and some toiletries.
Tomorrow's departure time is a little too hasty, Su Xiaoxiao can't wait to stuff the whole house into him, take into account everything he eats and wear, and when he sends Qin Mo out the door the next day, he quietly stuffs the last two pieces of silver in the family into the baggage.
Only then did he reluctantly say goodbye to Qin Mo, although he knew the strength of the male protagonist's aura, but he was still a little worried, after all, this was the first time that the two had been separated for a long time, and it was normal to be a little uncomfortable.
Qin Mo waved his hand, "Go back." ”
"Xianggong, be careful on the road." Looking at the back of the long journey, I felt a little lonely in my heart.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and I couldn't stop shivering, and went home with my arms crossed.
The master's illness has not yet healed, Qin Mo has gone out again, and the burden of taking care of the master falls on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and the three meals a day are mainly to clear heat and moisten the lungs.
Under her careful care, the master's illness gradually improved, but Su Xiaoxiao felt weak in the past few days, as if she couldn't wake up every day, and once she slept until noon, and the whole person was still groggy.
Got up from the bed, only felt that my legs were very weak, my brain was also groggy, and I barely supported myself before I walked into the yard, and I heard a knock on the door, "Dong Dong Dong" was so strong that it seemed to be knocking on her door, and it was very noisy.
opened a slit slightly, and looked out from the inside, and standing outside was Su Xiaoxiao's nightmare-Qin Chuan.
Seeing that the people inside opened a small slit, through the crack in the door, I saw Su Xiaoxiao wearing a pale pink embroidered dress, her hair was slightly pulled up with a peach hairpin, a melon seed face was delicate and small, some broken hair hung down on her sideburns, and the little face exuded a sickly white because of weakness, which was more seductive than before.
Qin Chuan's heart moved, and he remembered the purpose of today's comparison, and pushed open the hidden wooden door, Su Xiaoxiao was very weak at this time, and he was pushed back several steps by Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan closed the door with his backhand, stepped forward step by step, and hugged the woman in front of him.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like his head had exploded, his headache was splitting, his vision began to blur, he only felt that his limbs were weak, he pinched his thighs violently, and then he cheered up a little, picked up the wooden bolt behind the door and hit the back of Qin Chuan's head.
Qin Chuan not only did not let go of the pain, but hugged her tighter, pressed her against the wall, took the wooden bolt with his free right hand and threw it aside, tearing the woman's clothes regardless of it.
