Chapter 274 Yangjia County
Full of confidence, he said that he wanted to embroider a waist seal for Mu Jinchen, but he was injured again by chance. It's not even halfway through the embroidery, so I can only delay. Leaning on the pillow to read a book, I already feel a little sleepy.
But rosin didn't let her sleep, and from time to time she came to disturb her, saying that she couldn't sleep tonight after sleeping for too long.
But she really couldn't stand the sleepiness.
"Miss, use something."
They were all about to fall asleep, and they were woken up by rosin. I can't help but hold my forehead, I really don't want to eat. The room was filled with the familiar smell of fried steamed buns, and he took a deep breath.
The gluttony has been hooked. In the past, he was naughty and was punished by his mother for not being able to go out in the yard, but Mu Jinchen was sitting on the wall. Wrap the fried bun in a childish wrap and throw it to her.
"Why is this thing all of a sudden?"
"Tingting brought it back."
Su Xiangsi bit lightly, but the taste still didn't change: "Come back so late." ”
Rosin smiled: "It's been a long time since the market was lively today." ”
"Break her out tonight, and don't come into the house to serve."
After bathing, let the rosin help wipe the hair clean, and make sure that it really won't drip before carefully opening the scroll. This is Mu Jinchen who made people send it back quickly.
When the picture scroll unfolded, the smile in Su Xiangsi's eyes overflowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden. I couldn't help but reach out and touch the pattern on it.
The smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are full of thoughts.
I already had in my mind the image of him standing in front of the desk and painting seriously.
Count him on for having a heart.
It's just a few more words of tenderness in the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and he keeps it in his heart. Ren doesn't like it anymore no matter how long she watches it. Drawing every detail is expressive, and it is worth savoring.
"Rosin, catkins. Put it away and go get all the ink. ”
I've already figured out what I'm going to draw.
The candlelight in Su Xiangsi's room was lit until the third watch.
——
Mu Jinchen didn't plan to stay too much in Taocheng, and when Yu Yiyi collected all the things committed by the county government here, he sent them back to the capital. The two of them left the city at dawn, and the seventeen cities in Jiangnan didn't have time to finish all of them.
Then go straight to Huanglong, and the goal of Jiangnan's trip is to go to Guhe City. The Seventeen Cities are the largest and most economically prosperous territory.
Yu Yi drove the carriage on the official road, even if there were still a lot of people rushing in the scorching sun, more of them were pulling goods to Taocheng. After walking for a long time, it was almost sunset before I found an inn next to the official road.
Fortunately, there was still a vacant room left, otherwise the two would have stayed in the suburbs tonight.
"Childe, be careful."
Then there was a coughing sound from the carriage, and the guests sitting outside all looked at each other.
Mu Jinchen changed his face again, so ordinary that he couldn't remember his appearance in the crowd. It's just that the face has long been frighteningly white, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing a few times, almost out of breath.
The body looked tall, but I didn't expect it to be a sick seedling.
When the shopkeeper delivered the food to the guest room, Mu Jinchen still couldn't stop coughing.
"The guest officer is not in good health, but do you want the small one to ask for a doctor?"
Mu Jinchen waved his hand weakly: "It's okay, I'll go to Yangjia County tomorrow, and I'll be grabbing medicine when the time comes." ”
"Ouch, the guest officer is going to Yangjia County. It's not a good road. Put a few more soft cushions in the carriage, and the small ones can be prepared for the son. ”
"It's a good fate for my son to meet warm-hearted people when he travels far away."
The shopkeeper retreated, and Mu Jinchen's eyes were already bright. Chopsticks Bara a few meals, and he really looks at him, and the four dishes are all drugged.
Mu Jinchen slept lightly, and heard movement in the room in the middle of the night. It seems that it is just a robbery.
On the second day, he didn't lose any silver tickets or silver when he checked the package, and Mu Jinchen pretended that nothing had happened. The shopkeeper is quite good at coming to things, and sure enough, he has prepared a soft cushion in his carriage.
Mu Jinchen was very grateful, so he coughed and signaled Yu Yi to tip, and then slowly left the inn. Follow the road signs and turn into a small road, and walk along the road for an hour and a half to reach Yangjia County.
"Childe, those people are still following."
Mu Jinchen leaned on the soft pillow and said nonchalantly: "You go and solve it." ”
"Yes."
At the same time, the shopkeeper is busy greeting new customers. The fingers of the shopkeeper with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks quickly flicked the abacus, and the income of the inn was higher than last month, and he was very satisfied.
I took out the key in my purse and opened the small drawer on the counter, but it was empty. His heart stopped beating and his brain turned white.
"What's going on! Come over to me! Did someone come to the counter last night? ”
Suddenly yelled at by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was a little afraid, and approached the counter to find that all the money in the small drawer was gone. His eyes were white and he almost fainted.
The store has been burglarized!
"Where's the silver? Where's it going?! "Don't look at the shopkeeper's thin body, he can pull the neckline of the shopkeeper tightly with one hand, and he can't break free no matter how hard he struggles.
The shopkeeper has been working in this inn for a short time, but he knows that the shopkeeper loves money like life, and the account books can turn the inn upside down with a few copper plates.
"The key has always been held by the shopkeeper. How can the small one have a chance to touch, and the small one doesn't have the ability to pry open the drawer! ”
The shopkeeper snorted coldly and threw him out to re-examine the drawer.
The lock is good, and there are no signs of being picked open all around.
Could this silver have flown away on its own?
I found a note in the drawer, and when I took it out, the shopkeeper was dizzy.
Reap what you sow.
After Li Yan got rid of the tail that was following behind, he drove the carriage more briskly, and shortened the time by half and arrived in Yangjia County. Don't look at it as a county seat, it's also lively.
After passing the city gate inspection, Li Yan drove the carriage more and more incisively. This area is full of low blue-tiled houses, and the people make a living from farming.
Suddenly, an exquisite carriage came, and the people stopped and looked.
An old couple with their two children had been standing in front of the door for a long time, and they were even more excited when the carriage came.
Mu Jinchen got out of the carriage and looked at them with a slight smile in his eyes: "Father, mother, younger brothers and sisters." Are you all right? ”
With tears in her eyes, the woman stepped forward and hugged his next door: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Why is the face so bad. Fast in. ”
"I haven't seen you two for a long time, but you've grown a lot taller. My brother has brought you something good, go get it. Mu Jinchen lovingly pinched the cheeks of the two children.
The eight- or nine-year-old laughed happily and climbed into the carriage in three or two clicks.
Mu Jinchen pestered the old couple into the house.
The yard is not big, but it is better to be tidy. When the old couple received his news, they had already cleaned the house and replaced it with a new quilt and tea set.
"The body is not so valuable, but it is a problem for you to come and see you."
The old couple didn't twist either, and they were really grateful to Mu Jinchen. Back then, when it was a difficult juncture, if they hadn't helped Jinchen, they wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life today, and they would still be able to have children in pairs.
The onlookers felt very strange, and the delicate girl had been watching it for a long time just now. Although the face of that boy is too ordinary, his demeanor must not be pretended, and people can't take their eyes off.
"Who is that son? Why didn't I hear Uncle Yang mention it before? ”
The girl still couldn't help but ask the aunt next to her.
The aunt is also warm-hearted: "That's Uncle Yang's eldest son, who went to Taocheng to do business five years ago. It's the first time I've seen it, and I didn't expect it to grow so big. ”
The girl's eyes lit up slightly when she heard the business. That is to have both brains and money.
