Chapter 112: Windfall
Until the housekeeper sent Wei Zan out, he still looked uncertain.
"What are you thinking?"
On the carriage, Wei Zan looked at Wei Jin, who was deep in thought, with vigilance, "Let me tell you, be honest, this is Zhangzhou, the situation is complicated, and the eyes of the imperial court are also staring here, you must not mess around." ”
The small fights and quarrels between the girls of various families are just a little game for the big guys in the court, and they can laugh and laugh at most. If it really involves the power washing of the Zhennan Mansion, it will be a big shot.
"I don't believe that no one found out that I saved him in the first place." Wei Jin rubbed his temples with a headache, "I didn't know it was him before, and I could not care about it, but I finally saved him, and I can't watch him be killed anymore." ”
"Don't worry, the little grandfather is not as weak as you think."
Wei Zan didn't approve of her meddling in this matter, and Wei Jin also understood that her current identity was different, representing the Wei family, and she could no longer act as she did before.
But I know it in my heart, but I don't think so in my head!
She didn't sleep all night, and sat in front of the window and watched the moon all night, not knowing what she was thinking.
One more day later, it was the day she made an appointment with Miss Su to go to see the puppet opera.
This time, there was no one else, so I took my two younger sisters and set off together.
A specially made spacious carriage came early to pick up people.
The carriage of the carriage was still the kind with compartments, covered with soft cushions and cushions, and the three small girls sat together without feeling cramped at all.
There is still about a quarter of the space at the back of the car, which is enough to sleep one person.
This kind of carriage was the first choice for the ladies of the noble family to travel, and the gap at the tail was specially used for the maids who were waiting for them to take turns to rest.
The carriage went out of the city along the east gate, and walked in the direction of Dongxiang for about an hour, and then took another road at the fork in the road.
"This road is the periphery of the Su family's old house, and today's puppet show will be set up there."
The maid who came to pick them up told them a lot about the humanities and customs of Zhangzhou along the way, which made them full of curiosity about the opera.
Zhangzhou's puppet opera, except for the Su family, there is no other place. The Su opera is also a little different from other places today, they have been passed down since ancient times, and they have not changed at all, but they are more primitive in terms of costumes, music and dance.
"Actually, it is said that it is the Su family, and there are many people with foreign surnames who live here. In the early years, wars broke out frequently in the Zhangzhou area of Lingnan, and many people took their families and hid in the mountains. Our Su Clan's Wu Fort is the largest in this area, and it also has overseas islands, so those displaced people are stationed on the periphery of Su Clan's Wu Fort, so many hundreds of years of reproduction, until now, except for the center of Wu Fort or the Su Clan's mansion, the small villages in other places are in the name of the Su Clan, in fact, there are not many Su people at all. ”
From the beginning of entering the mountains, there is a small round earthen house in each river bay, and the maid said that it is the Zhangzhou earthen house built on the reproduction of the old house of the Su family. A house is a family.
Slowly go up along the ditch, and you can see the Su family's mansion halfway up the mountain.
And the Wu Fort where the mansion is located is indeed the largest, roughest, and most solid that Wei Jin has ever seen.
"There is a road from the back of the castle to the sea, which is a small bay where you can go directly to the sea by boat."
No wonder the Su clan chose to camp here to breed. The mountain here is high and the road is dangerous, only along the river bay can go up the mountain, you can attack and retreat, and then there is a retreat that can go directly to the sea, even if the old mansion on the land has fallen, it is enough time to transfer to the Su family base on the island.
What Wei Jin didn't understand was why the Su family wanted to tell her about it. Although this secret may not be a real secret, she is also an outsider, so she told her about the Su family's retreat, and she felt a little empty in her heart.
The puppet is not in the Su family's old house. When he reached the big Wubao, the carriage turned a corner and trotted towards the right.
After walking for a while, they saw the stage of the puppet opera on a cliff near the sea.
"I thought there weren't many people in the mountains, but there were almost more people than we in Xizhen."
Wei Jue, who has little knowledge, has big eyes. Although it is not crowded in front, there are at least several thousand people on visual inspection.
Starting from the roadside under the cliff, the stall winds all the way to the altar of the flat dam on the top, and there are two branch roads that obviously have people doing business on the roadside, which is really a lot of people.
"It's nothing, today is the first day of the opera, there are not many people, and when the clansmen of the Tianhai come back tomorrow, it will be lively at that time. However, my young lady said that it is easy to cause chaos when there are many people, so I invited three young ladies to come today. ”
If you can't go further on, Wei Jin got out of the carriage with her two younger sisters, was escorted by the Su family, and walked up in the direction of the crowd.
Originally, I thought that there would not be too many good things on the roadside stalls, but after looking at it carefully for a while, Wei Jin almost couldn't walk.
"You got all these things from overseas?"
"Most of them, and some of them were exchanged between the clansmen and the maritime merchants. The rich and noble people in the city don't like these things, and they are only bought by the poor. Sometimes a pile is exchanged for a pile, and no one knows how to use the things that are exchanged, and they are reluctant to throw them away, so they simply take them out and exchange them with others. ”
In addition to the people of the Su family, there are also many outsiders who know the news in the past few days. It's just that if they want to enter here, they must protect people, and they have to follow the rules of the Su family, but anyone who wants to make trouble here will be thrown off the cliff directly when they hear it.
It doesn't really matter if it's true, it's good to deter those who fish in troubled waters.
Wei Jin couldn't sympathize with those people, and all her thoughts and eyes were attracted by those inconspicuous things on the stall.
"How do you change this thing?" She crouched down and fiddled with the lumpy stuff in the bag.
"This bag of half a tael of silver, I can also give you a small thing, you can choose it yourself in the stall."
The stall owner glanced at Wei Jin, and then at the maid who obviously wore the Su family's emblem on her clothes, and didn't dare to ask for a price.
"I bought it, can you help me get it to the carriage?"
She was reluctant to throw it away, for fear that she would not find it when she came back later.
"Miss Wei San, don't worry, the maid will send someone to send everything that Miss Third wants."
If she got a maidservant, Wei Jin completely opened the buy, buy, buy mode.
I don't know when, there were two more powerful young men behind the maidservant, and their appearance was very ordinary, and they couldn't find that kind when thrown into the crowd, but the strength of the two was amazing. Wei Jin bought a lot of things, and the two of them carried a bamboo basket on their backs and loaded them all.
"Actually, if Miss Wei San likes these, I'll let people go to the stall to collect them for Miss San."
Wei Jin's heart moved, but he shook his head again: "These things look a little similar, but in fact they are still a little different, I can explain it to you very clearly, in short, I'll look at it first." ”
The maidservant ceased to speak, and quietly withdrew behind her and continued to wander around.
