Chapter 199: True Image
Xu Lanyin opened the curtain again, allowing the Qin clan to look at the guards outside who were riding on horses with big knives on their backs. He said in her ear again, "There are five guards here, plus He Dong and He Xi, two coachmen, a total of nine men, and no one dares to touch us." ”
Qin Shi muttered again, "Since I married your father and settled in Xiaozao Village, I thought that I would live in the small mountain village for the rest of my life and never leave. That's what your father promised me. Who knew that your father died, and you were out again, and you actually bought a house in the provincial capital, and your business developed there...... I don't like towns, it's crowded and it's too messy. ”
Xu Lanyin knew that it was an excuse that the number of people she was referring to was too chaotic, and she should be afraid of meeting acquaintances. said, "The security of the provincial capital is very good, and the location of our house is also good. The mother has nothing to do, goes out to take the car, and then takes two people, nothing to do. The provincial capital is far away from my father, and my mother's life is quiet. ”
When I thought of the old man Xu, Xu Lanyin had liver pain, and in ancient times, he couldn't openly quarrel with his elders. Avoiding him before was because of Xu Lanzhou, but now for the sake of the Qin family, he should stay away from him.
Qin sighed, if it weren't for avoiding the old man, she would rather stay alone in her hometown......
Xu Lanting didn't know what the Qin family was thinking, and said, "The eldest sister also said that she would live in the capital in the future." ”
Qin's face turned a little paler, and said, "Don't go to the capital, there are many talented people there, and there are capable people everywhere." Our countrymen can't rob them, so it's better to live a comfortable life on the border of Hebei. He squeezed Xu Lanyin's hand tightly and said, "Did you hear it, you have to remember my mother's words." ”
It was inconvenient to say more in the car, so Xu Lanyin had to nod. The Qin clan was particularly resistant to the capital, and would use her words in the future.
After dark, they went to Fengxian and stayed at the Chengnan Inn where they had stayed before.
Because of the "Longxing Inn Case", both Qin and Xu Lanting were reluctant to go to Fengxian County for the night. But taking Fengxian is the nearest road, if you don't live in Fengxian County, it is not safe to live in the county in the town.
As soon as he walked into the inn, Zhao Xingchen, who was smiling, began to get nervous, his little hand held Xu Lanyin's hand tightly, and his little face was hidden in Xu Lanyin's skirt, for fear that someone would recognize him and snatch him away.
Xu Lanyin picked him up and said softly, "Don't be afraid, this is the Chengnan Inn, there are no bad people." Yes, we have so many people to protect us, and others dare not provoke them. ”
Zhao Xingchen buried his head on Xu Lanyin's shoulder again, and choked up, "Why hasn't Daddy come back, he's the most powerful." With him, those bad guys won't dare to come and catch the stars. ”
The shopkeeper of the inn already knew Xu Lanyin, and stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why didn't that young master come along?" ”
Of course, that young master refers to Zhao Wu.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "He can't come when he has something to do." ”
I asked for five rooms. There are three guards, one for the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou, and one for Xu Lanyin, Zhao Xingchen, and Zhangqi. For the sake of safety, He Xi and He Dong came to check every corner of the house again, and the food was also brought into the house, and Xu Lan dared to eat it because there was nothing unusual.
In order to comfort Zhao Xingchen, Xu Lanyin and Zhangqi blocked the table at the door and stuck the window to death.
Zhao Xingchen saw that it was indeed much safer, so he slept with confidence.
At night, it rained again, and the sound of dripping on the tiles was annoying.
Xu Lan had to sleep steadily, and she couldn't sleep even more when she listened to the rain. If you don't stop tomorrow, you'll have to be delayed at the inn for a day. The day after tomorrow will not stop, and it will be delayed.
The next day, the rain continued to fall, and it was even colder.
Xu Lanyin added a thin jacket to herself and Zhao Xingchen and went to the Qin family's room together.
Qin Shi was wearing a cotton jacket and skirt, looking out the window and sighing.
Xu Lanting also wore a long cotton jacket and was boxing in the middle of the house. Since he was in better health, he would practice martial arts with Xu Lanzhou or Zhao Wu every morning.
Zhangqi went downstairs to let Xiao Er bring water up to wash, and went to buy breakfast and bring it to the room to eat.
After the meal, it was uncomfortable to stay in the room, so Xu Lanyin took Zhangqi and He Dong and He Xi, and went to Wang Erniang's embroidery workshop with an oil-paper umbrella to buy things.
Wang Erniang embroidery workshop is diagonally opposite the inn in the south of the city, selling small embroidery and trinkets are very distinctive, many outsiders come to buy.
The path in the middle is not wide, and it is still paved with stones. Xu Lanyin walked over on tiptoe, not even getting her embroidered shoes wet.
Xu Lanyin bought many small things such as small purses, small handkerchiefs, small sachets, juanhua, bracelets woven by Luozi, etc., some for her own use, and some for gifts. Just about to go out, he actually met Qin Ru and Zhu Zhuang at the door again.
"What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence."
"That's a coincidence."
Xu Lanyin, Qin Ru, and Zhu Zhuang spoke in unison, and they all laughed again after speaking.
Qin Ru smiled and asked, "Miss Xu is going to Ningzhou Mansion?" Seeing Xu Lanyin nodding, he asked again, "Live in the Chengnan Inn opposite?" ”
Xu Lanyin nodded and said with a smile, "Could it be that the two sons also live there?" ”
Zhu Zhuang smiled, "That's where we live." ”
Qin Ru said again, "I'll buy some small things for my family, I don't know what the little girl likes, Miss Xu will help you take a look?" ”
He made this request, and Xu Lanyin walked around with them and made some suggestions according to her own preferences.
Qin Ru bought more for his sister and daughter-in-law, and a few more for his mother and son. From his words, it was heard that his sister's maiden name was Hongyu, and his son's name was Brother Xiang.
They didn't talk much, but Xu Lanyin could still see that Qin Ru was very family-oriented and had the delicacy of a southern man. said, "Listen to the voice, Qin Gongzi has stayed in the south? ”
Qin Ru said with a smile, "I grew up in Wucheng, my father was an official here, and my family and I only came to Ningzhou Mansion three years ago. ”
A few people went back to the inn, and their room was actually next door to several nursing homes in Minfu.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped, and many guests left the inn. But Xu Lan didn't leave because they didn't leave, it must have been dark when the mule cart arrived at Ningzhou Mansion, and it was not safe to hurry, and they had to stay in a guest house outside the city, so it was better to stay here and leave tomorrow.
Xu Lanyin had eaten in Qin's room for a few people, and went downstairs with his chopsticks in his hands, and Xu Lanyin took Zhao Xingchen back to his room to rest. At the door, I met Qin Ru and Zhu Zhuang and their two little guys passing by.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Gongzi Qin and Gongzi Zhu are leaving?" ”
Qin Ru said with a smile, "Let's ride faster, and we can reach Ningzhou in less than two hours." Miss Xu won't leave until tomorrow? ”
Xu Lanyin nodded and said with a smile, "The two sons go slowly." ”
Zhu Zhuang also clenched his fists and said, "There will be a period later." ”
Why is that voice so familiar? Qin, who had already gone to bed, hurriedly got down to the ground, put on his shoes, and hurriedly walked out. She held the railing and watched Qin Ru and the others walk down the stairs and then walk out of the inn. That walking posture, it's really like.
Qin's gaze was firmly fixed on Qin Ru's back until he walked out of the inn door.
Qin Ru walked outside the door, glanced back upstairs, smiled and beckoned to Xu Lanyin behind the railing on the second floor, before turning around and leaving again. It's just that he only had Xu Lanyin in his eyes just now, and he didn't see the person next to him.
