Volume 1 Zhenguan Talent. Chapter Twenty-Three: Liyuan Fang
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yuan and Tinglan have been living in Zhuyuan for a year, at this time, Situ Mingyue and they are already very proficient in both quyi and dance, in fact, they can already go to Chang'an City to start establishing Liyuanfang, but Situ Mingyue can't go yet, although Mrs. Situ has respected her choice, but she knows that her mother has not completely let go, she goes, I don't know when she can come back, she walked with doubts and grievances, and she can't get the truth and the punishment she deserves, how can she come back?
Mrs. Situ knew this, so she was reluctant to let Situ Mingyue leave, Shen Yuan and Tinglan knew that Mrs. Situ could not rest assured, and they never rushed or urged Situ Mingyue, they waited and waited for Situ Mingyue to think clearly, after all, this is a long road, and several of them will have to go together in the future, or Situ Mingyue has her own bigger plans, but they will always stand behind her and support her. Although Situ Mingyue was struggling in her heart, she was sensible, she knew her current and future path, and after a few days, Situ Mingyue asked Situ Jing to pack the package for her, and then went to Mrs. Situ's bedroom alone, she gently pushed the door open, Mrs. Situ was closing her eyes and recuperating,
"Mother,"
Situ Mingyue called softly, Mrs. Situ opened her eyes, looked at Situ Mingyue as if she wanted to know what she was going to say, stood up first, let Situ Mingyue sit, walked to the bed by herself, took out some jewelry and silver tickets, and put them on the table, Situ Mingyue looked at Mrs. Situ, Mrs. Situ put the money into a big purse and handed it to Situ Mingyue,
"Go ahead."
Situ Mingyue's nose was sour,
"Mother,"
Mrs. Situ patted her hand. Laughed
"Don't cry, this is the way you should go, and it is also the path that your father may want you to take, and your mother hopes that although you have gone through trials and hardships, you will not change your original intention, stick to yourself, and achieve what you want in your heart."
Situ Mingyue nodded,
"With Jing'er, mother can rest assured."
Situ Mingyue shook her head,
"No, I'm going to let Jing'er come down and take care of you,"
"No need, Jing'er follows you, so that your mother can feel at ease, and besides, with Ah Fu, your mother can let him go out and bring the two girls back, but you can't, you will definitely need to spend a lot of financial and material resources to go here, let Jing'er take good care of you, and your mother can be relieved."
Situ Mingyue didn't refute her mother anymore, she knew that everything was in order with her mother. The next day, Mrs. Situ saw Tinglan and Shen Yuan, she didn't say anything, just took care, Jing'er followed behind Situ Mingyue, her eyes were red, Situ Mingyue shook her mother's hand, took them, turned around, she had to go faster, so as not to be seen by her mother to shed tears.
Looking at Situ Mingyue who was walking away, Mrs. Situ wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, sighed, sank her shoulders, and said to Ah Fu in a muddy voice,
"Close the door."
Ah Fu wiped his tears with his sleeve and closed the door.
Situ Jing took Situ Mingyue and they out of the bamboo forest, the group rented a carriage, went to Chang'an City, entered the city gate, Situ Mingyue looked out through the screen window of the carriage, the outside was very lively, many business vendors came and went, the streets in the city were horizontal and vertical, paved by bluestone, the place where the carriage walked did not raise a trace of dust, the building was antique, elegant and gorgeous, beautiful, to an inn, Tinglan helped them get out of the car, paid the coachman's car, let the carriage leave first, Situ Mingyue and his party went into the inn, Xiao Er stepped forward,
"A few guest officers have something to eat,"
Situ Mingyue, Shen Yuan, and Situ Jing are all dressed as men at this time for convenience.
"Serve us some of your specials, a pot of tea," Tinglan said.
Situ Mingyue nodded approvingly at him, this was the time she heard Tinglan speak the most, Shen Yuan also looked at Tinglan and nodded, Tinglan was a little shy, lowered her head, the three of them sat down, looking at the spectators eating around, Situ Mingyue said,
"We can't go to various inns to sing like you used to, I plan to buy a small restaurant by ourselves and replace it with the sign of Liyuan Fang," he said.
Shen Yuan nodded,
"We are all up to Childe."
Situ Mingyue already had a plan in her heart, she knew the reason why her mother prepared so much money for her, her mother already knew what she was thinking, she had taken a fancy to an alley on the side of the city street when she was in the carriage just now, artists were all developed from the alley, Situ Mingyue didn't know how she could burst out with such an idea.
Xiao Er quickly brought the dishes, ate, and listened to the people around him talking about today's draft on the saint, the emperor is old, so many beautiful yellow flower girls can only go into the palace to keep the widow, Situ Mingyue thought of Wu Ruyu, I don't know how she was in the palace, I don't know how she watched the sky that night, and saw whether Wu Ruyu's minister reported to the old emperor, Situ Mingyue sighed, forget it, she is too busy to take care of herself now, why worry about this empress with a good future, what she has to do now is to complete the mission, Let the mother be relieved.
After eating, the group came to the alley that Situ Mingyue saw just now, pedestrians came and went, the bluestone paved path was exceptionally clean, and it was really different from the real immersion through the screen window, a few people walked for a while, Situ Mingyue saw a pear blossom passing through a white wall, she blinked her eyes and looked at Shen Yuan.
"That's it, let's go, go in and have a look."
Walk up to the arched Zhu Gate. Situ Mingyue buckled the door buckle,
"Anyone?"
A child of six or seven years old opened the door from the inside and looked at them warily.
"Who are you looking for?"
Situ Mingyue looked at him gently and said,
"Hello, we just passed by your house. If you are thirsty, can I ask you for water? ”
The child hesitated,
"You wait for me,"
Then the door was hidden, Situ Mingyue faintly heard a "Grandma," and the sound of an old man coughing hard, and after a while, the child ran over and opened the door,
"Grandma let you in."
Situ Mingyue bowed her head and saluted,
"Thank you."
Then walked in, as soon as I entered, it was an outer courtyard, the pear blossom just now was diagonally opposite the arched Zhumen, the tall pear tree, a very large pear blossom, but the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, only this pear tree was slightly regular, they followed the child through the arch of the outer courtyard, and walked to the inner courtyard, the inner courtyard is a quaint attic, and it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time.
The corridor is full of cobwebs, Situ Mingyue followed the child into the first floor, the child asked them to wait here, and went to the backyard to scoop water for them to drink, Situ Mingyue thanked him, and carefully examined the small attic, at this time, from the bedroom on the first floor, a heart-rending cough sound, just the child who scooped the water hurriedly came, handed the water to Situ Mingyue and ran into the bedroom on the left side of the lobby.
