Chapter 80: Youzhou (36)
Bai Mu sat on the outskirts of the restaurant, looking at the bustling street below, along which there were people selling tofu, flour, and soap......
He suddenly remembered a sentence in "Me and My Ancestors": "Although my brother is gone, the legend of my brother is circulating in the rivers and lakes." Jiang Xuewei's ancestors were very knowledgeable, and he found that the poems he wrote were still handed down, and he was very happy to say this.
Now the Lan family's bookstore and workshop are temporarily closed, but there is already a shadow of the Lan family everywhere in the lives of the people.
Xie Yutao said while drinking tea: "In addition to the cremation, the things written in the book are still very feasible. I've secretly asked Dr. Ai. ”
Doctor Ai is a retired imperial doctor raised by the Xie family themselves, and if Doctor Ai thinks it is feasible, it is definitely possible. As for the recipe for that kind of pox, Dr. Ai himself wants to try it.
Bai Mu looked at the carefree young man in front of him with pity, since he received his father's letter, he moved back to the academy on the fifth day of the new year. His father's letter has already clarified the pros and cons, so that he can concentrate on his studies and do not need to get too close to Xie Yutao. Because his father was worried about the Xie family, he asked him to leave Youzhou early. Now that spring is approaching, he is ready to leave for the capital.
The Lan family has fallen to such a point, and it is not without the Xie family's encouragement. My father also left a good hand in Pingyang City, and as long as I have the heart, I can still find out these news.
It's a pity that Xie Yutao admires the Lan family so much, if he knew what his father did, would he be too disappointed?
Xie Yutao suddenly said "Huh", then got up and looked at the street.
Bai Mu looked over, and a carriage on the street was walking slowly on the street.
"That coachman is from the Lan family, and he delivered the manuscript to the academy before." It was the stakes that drove the car.
This time they borrowed the Tao family's carriage and went to the prison to watch the carriage.
"Is it Old Lady Lan inside?" Xie Yutao's eyes lit up, and he was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Bai Mu.
"If it is really a person from the Lan family, he used the carriage of the Tao family, just to avoid people's eyes. It's not appropriate for you to come up and say hello like that. Bai Mu explained, "Old Lady Lan is going out at this time, and she must be going to the yamen to visit Shopkeeper Lan." ”
Xie Yutao stopped this time: "The third issue published my manuscript, I'm a little excited!" ”
If Xie Yuanqing knew that Mr. Yuguan who wrote "Youzhou: Pingyang Mansion" was Xie Yutao, would he have even more disgust for the Lan family? Bai Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
Lu Yingfang still struggled out of the door, because the dungeon kept contributing merit points. Wang Cheng took the Lan family's silver, and when he bought food for Lan Rong, he would also buy some food for the officials who watched the value. She asked Wang Cheng to give some food to the other party before.
When she feels the merit value, she can clearly see the merit value of that person and that person's head in her mind.
Now that person has already contributed 32 merit points.
What is this concept? All the Lan family members went all the way north, and until today, all the Lan family members have contributed less than 30 merit points. This one person is up to a dozen people! We've got to get it back!
Lan Rongzhuan had already learned about the rumors outside, so he felt bad in his heart. Since the monk said that he would burn the sick corpse, it must have made sense. However, the officials didn't seem to believe it, except for Wang Cheng, the attitude of the other officials towards him changed, even if they were sarcastic and mocking, even Gong Tong would not change for a few days. If Wang Cheng hadn't found out, he would have stinked to death.
When Lu Yingfang saw him, his hair was messy, his beard had grown a lot, and his bags under his eyes were very heavy.
The moment "Mother ......" saw Lu Yingfang, his eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over to the wooden fence.
Lu Yingfang was relieved to see that he was fine.
Lan Rong turned to ask, "Isn't there any news yet?" "That real Guan Xiaoyue hasn't been caught yet?
Lu Yingfang nodded, I was afraid that Lei Changting would come back in the next two days! I don't know what else the couple will come up with.
Lu Yingfang greeted him a few words, then left him and walked inside. Walked to the final cell, which was empty.
Wang Cheng saw her walking inside, and hurriedly came over and said, "Yesterday, he was released. ”
"I sent a letter from Jinnan to confirm his identity, and the documents are not fake." Wang Cheng said, "I told him that you specially sent him food. If he has a heart, he should go to the bookstore to find you. "Since he is not a spy, he can sell the Lan family well, so Wang Cheng told him.
Lu Yingfang was a little disappointed, the bookstore and workshop were closed, if the other party found the Lan family, maybe Old Man Cai would know him!
After all, Old Man Cai has been in the Lan family all his life, and he may know more people.
Lu Yingfang returned home and found that there were no visitors today, so she put the matter down.
Aunt Bai instructed Ye Erlang's family to count the cloth they had received these days, and then sort it out, and then prepare to take the carriage back. For fear of being thrown rotten eggs, the carriage was replaced with a new curtain, and the top cover was also changed to a different color.
It was Liangzi who drove the car this time, because Jiao Er, Lin Zi and Qiu Da were the business cards of the Lan family walking outside, and they would definitely be recognized as coachmen.
The carriage slowly walked through the city center, and although Aunt Bai had people put up notices to dismiss the absent female workers, she was a little angry. The Lan family was so good to them, they were still absent from work.
Thinking about it, she exhaled deeply, opened a corner of the carriage curtain, and looked out. Just this glance made her feel like a demon.
At the stall opposite, a man had his back to her. The man, dressed in coarse linen and with his hair tied haphazardly, seemed to be haggling with a small trader.
Finally, the little vendor said impatiently: "I have two copies of steamed bread, such a big and thick steamed bun, and I am the only one on the whole street." Five cents and three are absolutely not good, no. ”
The man turned his face slightly: "Okay then! ”
Aunt Bai stared at the man for a long time, until the carriage drove by, and she suddenly let out a scream: "Stop, stop!" ”
Ryoko was so frightened that the whip in her hand almost fell out, and Aunt Bai was about to jump off the carriage! Ryoko hurriedly leaned sideways and grabbed her arm: "Aunt Bai, you will fall like this." ”
"Hurry up and let me down, hurry!" Aunt Bai got out of the carriage with the help of Liangzi.
By the time she turned back, there was no one in front of the vendor.
"Big sister, I want to buy ......"
"Where did that guy go?"
"Huh?"
"Where did the tall, black-clad man who bought steamed buns go?" Aunt Bai looked left and right, and this happened to be a triangular intersection.
The vendor pointed to the right: "Where did you go......"
Aunt Bai chased after her in a panic, and when she reached the intersection, she asked someone, and when she chased after her, she suddenly squatted on the street and cried. Until the pile finally came, the surrounding aunts were still persuading her: "Sister, what can't you think of?" Look at your clothes, it shouldn't be bad at home! ”
"That's right, this year, it's good to be well fed and clothed."
"You know what? What do you know? Aunt Bai burst into tears and suddenly shouted at them, hoarse.
Several aunts didn't dare to step forward when they saw her so sad.
"White Butler......" The stake hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and then pulled Aunt Bai, who was a little sober, into the carriage.
"Sheng'er, don't worry. This time to go to the southwest to fight is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions! The barbarians have been defeated day by day, and this reinforcement expedition is already eighteen or nineteen. I know you're not satisfied with the daughter of the Qian family. But that mother-in-law exchanged Geng posts without telling me, if this family affair is not successful, not only will it be difficult for the daughter of the Qian family to marry, but it will be even more difficult for Chengrong to find a good one. ”
At the beginning, Rong Cheng went to the battlefield less than a month after he became married, and the old lady thought that he was not satisfied with the marriage before joining the army. The ready-made reason is that he has just gotten married, and he can't leave the bride at home.
She really doesn't like the Qian family, the Qian family's father is just a fourth-grade petty official, and there is no help behind him, so it is basically the end. The Qian family's mother only had one daughter, and it was difficult to give birth. The Qian family will be in charge of the concubine in the future, and such a relative will not be of any help to Rong Cheng, maybe it will only lag behind.
Qian has a gentle personality, but what's the use of that? can't give birth to a son, and Rong Cheng will be doomed! The old marquis knew that after Rong Cheng died, he blamed himself for a long time, but in less than a month, he died on Aunt Ma's belly, she hated it so much!
She hated the old marquis for sending Rong Cheng to the battlefield, hated the old marquis for not having the pain of losing his son, and died happily in the blink of an eye.
She hated Lu Yingfang, the old lady, and she was groveling, and she didn't forget to suppress Chengrong.
If it weren't for Yajie's daughter, she would have wanted to stab them to death with scissors.
What allowed her to survive was that Yajie married the Zhou family and happened to find out that she was pregnant. God forbid, you must win a man in one fell swoop,
For the sake of her daughter, she survived.
"Mother...... Mother ......" Yajie gently pushed her, and found that she seemed to be awake, so she breathed a sigh of relief. The stake found that Aunt Bai had fainted on the carriage, and the Lan family suddenly turned on their backs.
Aunt Bai opened her eyes and was stunned for a while before she remembered that she was in Youzhou, which was a rented house.
"Yajie, Yajie, I saw your brother, really, I saw your brother." Aunt Bai shouted as she grabbed Yajie's arm.
Yajie was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mother, what are you talking about?" Just dreamed of my brother? ”
Aunt Bai got up slowly and said to herself, "I saw your brother on the street." ”
"Mother, my brother has ...... It's gone," Yajie sighed, "You said the same two years ago...... There are still many people who look like each other in this world! ”
Two years ago, Aunt Bai suddenly came to Zhou's house to look for her, that is, she saw her brother on the street. She even let her husband wander around that street for a few days! It turned out that a foot trader from other places was really similar to the second brother, but it was just like it, not the dead second brother.
Aunt Bai was restless in those days, with expectations and great disappointment. So this time, Aunt Bai was quickly persuaded by Yajie, she was wrong after all.
Lu Yingfang stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and couldn't help but think of the person who contributed merit in prison.
At that time, the cell was so dark that I couldn't see my back clearly, and the other party didn't speak...... She had no sense of familiarity at all.
Do you want to spend merit to buy the plot?
In the memory of the original owner, he had heard about Aunt Bai's search for her son two years ago. It's just that she scoffed and jumped up and down by her.
Oh, the second child didn't seem to find the body at that time! Could it be?
Anyway, there are still a lot of merit points, so it's better to spoil it!
- Dear, I suggest you leave this alone for now. Although it is necessary to spoil the merit points, there are more important things that you need to know first.
?
- You will be destroyed.
