Chapter 46: Excitement
She slept for a long time, and when Beizhu woke her up, it was already three poles in the sun. Beizhu had already put all her clothes on the bed, she quickly got up from the bed, quickly dressed, and went out after eating two mouthfuls of porridge.
Zhuo Jinxuan had already prepared the horse outside, but Du Zijun still led the old horse and combed all the hair on its body, even then it didn't look much better.
"What do you like about it?" Zhuo Jinxuan looked at him and asked.
Du Zijun touched the old horse's head and said to him seriously: "It's really a BMW, don't be confused by its appearance." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan has seen a lot of BMWs, but he has never seen anything like this. But seeing that he liked it so much, he didn't say anything anymore.
Bai Shuqin came out to see the two horses at the door, one of which was Du Zijun's old horse, and couldn't help but ask Zhuo Jinxuan: "Where is my horse?" ”
Without waiting for Zhuo Jinxuan to answer, Du Zijun hurriedly said: "The third prince is afraid that you will be too tired to ride a horse, so he said that the two of you can ride a horse." ”
Most of the shops on the street suffered varying degrees of damage, and the inn escaped because of Bai Shuqin's action. Zhou Yunxia cleaned up the room where they lived and waited for them to come back.
In the morning, Zhou Yunxia went upstairs with a basin of water, their luggage was still in the room, she didn't move, just wiped the spiritual seat and wooden box on the cabinet.
There was an incense burner in front of the spiritual seat, and yesterday's incense had been burned out, so Zhou Yunxia took out three of them again and lit them and inserted them into the incense burner.
The people at the inn have not inquired about their whereabouts when they have been out for the past few days, and they do not know if they can come back. She cleaned up the room, sighed softly, and closed the door.
There was still no business in the inn, but Li Wu and the others were already grateful. There is no business, but it is just a bitter winter, and as long as you are alive, there is hope.
Except for Zhou Yunxia and Li Wuniang, who stayed at the inn, everyone else went out to help the villagers and neighbors.
Du Zijun rode the old horse in front, maybe he played a role in combing it in the morning, and today the old horse is very obedient to listen to him. He looked as if he had conquered the enemy.
When he arrived at the inn, Du Zijun got off his horse but did not enter the inn. When Bai Shuqin and the others followed, he scratched his head and said to Bai Shuqin: "Third Imperial Princess, shall I go next door first?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan stretched out her hand to help Bai Shuqin get off the horse, she arranged her skirt and asked him, "What are you doing next door?" ”
Du Zijun's eyes glanced at the old horse, and Bai Shuqin immediately understood that the horse was borrowed from the family next door, and it seemed that he was about to buy this horse. Although she didn't think there was anything good about this old horse, but since he liked it, she let him go, "Go ahead!" ”
Du Zijun nodded to her happily, and pulled the old horse towards the cloth merchant next door.
Zhuo Jinxuan tied the horse to the tethered stake in front of the inn, looked at Du Zijun's back, and couldn't help but smile and said to Bai Shuqin: "Are you a little too fond of him?" ”
Bai Shuqin smiled and didn't speak, and walked into the inn.
The door to the inn was open, but there was no one inside. Bai Shuqin shouted "Sister Zhou" twice, but no one responded. She frowned, they should have been fine that night, could it be that they had encountered pirates again after she was gone?
Zhuo Jinxuan sensed her uneasiness and comforted her: "Maybe I've gone to the street to help, don't worry." You see the table is so clean, it should have been cleaned just in the morning. ”
Bai Shuqin looked at the table, and the table top still had traces of being wiped by water.
Zhou Yunxia was preparing lunch in the back kitchen, when she heard a voice in front of her, wiped her water-filled hands on the apron around her waist, and shouted outside: "Come on, come on!" ”
Hearing Zhou Yunxia's voice, Zhuo Jinxuan looked at Bai Shuqin, and his expression was like saying, look, I'm right.
Zhou Yunxia ran from the back kitchen to the front, and when she saw Bai Shuqin, her face was full of surprise: "I said who will come over at this time!" White girl, you're fine. ”
Seeing that she was the only one, she craned her neck to look outside, but she didn't see anyone else, she asked with a worried look: "White girl, why didn't you see them?" ”
"Du Zijun went to the cloth merchant next door, Beizhu stayed in the barracks, and they were all fine." Bai Shuqin smiled at her, and then asked, "Brother Li, are they helping outside?" ”
Zhou Yunxia pulled out two chairs from the table, "Yes! Have you eaten? ”
Bai Shuqin didn't answer her, just pushed the chair back and said, "You're welcome." I came over to get my stuff and left right away. ”
Zhou Yunxia's face was a little lost, and she rubbed her hands awkwardly: "This is leaving?" She thought this was rude, and quickly laughed again, "The things in the room haven't been touched, I'll take you up." ”
She led the way in front, and Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan walked behind. The room was cleaned very neatly and cleanly, and seeing the incense burning in the incense burner in front of the spiritual seat, Bai Shuqin said to Zhou Yunxia gratefully: "Thank you." ”
Zhou Yunxia smiled embarrassedly and said, "Thank you!" On the contrary, we have to thank you, not for you, but I'm afraid we won't be here now. ”
Bai Shuqin shook her head lightly and took her mother's spiritual seat off the cabinet. Zhuo Jinxuan reached out and took off the bone box and asked her, "Is there anything else you want to take?" ”
Bai Shuqin looked around, other clothes and other things were not valuable, and she didn't plan to take them away. "No, let's go."
Zhou Yunxia sent them downstairs, and when they were about to reach the door, Zhuo Jinxuan took out fifty taels of silver from his waist and gave it to Zhou Yunxia, "You have to take care of my wife these days!" ”
Zhou Yunxia stretched out her hand and excused herself: "No, no, no!" The white girl's great kindness is unforgettable, we can't take this money! ”
Bai Shuqin took the silver from Zhuo Jinxuan's hand and stuffed it into her hand, held her hands and said, "The current weather, I'm afraid that you won't have guests until spring." There are so many people in the inn who always have to eat, so don't shirk it, just take it. ”
She did say that Zhou Yunxia's heart was on the road, and she didn't shirk it, she bent down and thanked: "Miss Bai, if you come to Jiangzhou again in the future, as long as our inn is still there, you are welcome to come back at any time." ”
Bai Shuqin nodded with a smile, said goodbye to her and left the inn.
Du Zijun was still next door and didn't come out, Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan waited outside for a while, Zhuo Jinxuan said to Bai Shuqin: "I'll go over and take a look." ”
Bai Shuqin took Zhuo Jinxuan's hand, shook his head and smiled: "No, he must be bargaining with others again." We'll wait. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan felt a little funny, it was good for someone to buy this horse, not to mention that the people who followed Bai Shuqin would not be stingy when they made a move, did they still need to bargain?
Sure enough, after a while, Du Zijun came out of the cloth merchant with a flushed face, he led the old horse in his hand, and when he saw Bai Shuqin, he complained to her: "Third Imperial Princess, how can you say that there is such a person in this world!" ”
"What?" Bai Shuqin asked him with a smile.
"I gave him thirty taels, and he just wouldn't sell it to me! I thought I was giving less, and I added another ten taels, but he still didn't agree. I said okay, you can make an offer. Do you know what he said? Du Zijun was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet when he thought about it.
Bai Shuqin stretched out two fingers, he shook his head and didn't sell it, and continued: "He actually opened his mouth for a hundred taels, and asked me to clean his stables. He's going to buy new ponies! ”
Zhuo Jinxuan thought that he was angry for a hundred taels of silver, so he said, "This hundred taels is mine." ”
"It's not about money, although it's also about money. I'm angry that he actually patted Chitu's buttocks, saying that he didn't expect it to sell for a good price for this old thing! When Du Zijun thought of him like that, he couldn't wait to press him to the ground and beat him.
"Wait, what did you just call it?" Bai Shuqin didn't listen to what he said at all, but was attracted by the name of the old horse.
"Red Rabbit!" Du Zijun raised his head, "Didn't you tell me that Lu Bu is a red rabbit among people?" I think the name suits it! ”
Bai Shuqin held his forehead, not thinking that this old horse could afford this name at all. She sighed: "Sure enough, there is no reason for such a thing as love!" ”
Du Zijun didn't have a hundred taels on him, and for his red rabbit, he used the emergency money that Bai Shuqin gave him. On the way back, he deliberately looked for an opportunity to get close to Zhuo Jinxuan, and asked in a low voice behind him, "Third Prince, does what you just said still count?" ”
Bai Shuqin deliberately pretended not to hear, Zhuo Jinxuan squinted his eyes and smiled: "Which sentence are you asking?" ”
He said it in a loud voice, and Du Zijun, who was frightened, quickly closed his mouth, but seeing that Bai Shuqin seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't hear it, so he mustered up the courage to lower his voice behind him and said, "That one hundred taels is yours, this sentence." ”
As soon as Du Zijun's words landed, Bai Shuqin immediately turned his head and glared at Zhuo Jinxuan. Zhuo Jinxuan looked back at her dotingly, and said to Du Zijun: "I listen to Madame." ”
Bai Shuqin smiled with satisfaction, but Du Zijun looked like he wanted to cry without tears. He originally owed Bai Shuqin fifty taels, and with this one hundred taels, he would have to be young to change it.
"Okay, don't have that look." Bai Shuqin said in disgust: "Just this money, do you think I will take it to heart?" I'll give you this red rabbit! One hundred taels can buy a red rabbit, it's worth it! ”
"Right? Do you think so too? Du Zijun's eyes lit up, as if he was more excited than he was praised.
Bai Shuqin pouted: "Can I ask you a question?" What do you really like about it? ”
Du Zijun stroked Chitu's mane lovingly, and he couldn't say it, but he felt that this horse's temper was very similar to his father's. The same stinky temper, but it's still very reliable at critical times, and it's not slow.
Bai Shuqin secretly rolled his eyes when he saw him like this, waved his hand at him and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it." You may have been a horse spirit in your last life! ”
Du Zijun used to say that Beizhu was a fox spirit every day, and later said that she was a rabbit spirit, and now it was finally his turn to be said to be a horse spirit. He hurriedly retorted, but Bai Shuqin didn't listen to him at all, and said that he would call him Ma Jing in the future!
Zhuo Jinxuan saw Bai Shuqin's childish side for the first time, and when he thought of the scene of the first meeting, he couldn't help but hug her tightly.
Passing by the barracks, Zhuo Jinxuan stopped, but Bai Shuqin did not dismount. Zhuo Jinxuan was puzzled for a while, and in an instant she understood that she wanted to go directly to the beach.
"I've already asked people to arrange the craftsmen who repair the mausoleum, it will take at least half a month, and then wait." Zhuo Jinxuan said to her.
She looked into the distance, sitting on a horse and could faintly see the coastline, "No matter how good the mausoleum is, it is only for outsiders to see, and there is no need for it." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan said: "The mausoleum is a thought for the living, and it is better to have something than nothing." ”
Bai Shuqin didn't know, but if she returned to the capital, she would come back in a long way. She thanked him for his kindness, "My mother was trapped in the mansion when she was alive, and now there are only white bones left, so let her be free." ”
Her eyes were full of endless desolation, Zhuo Jinxuan knew that she was thinking of the things in the Bai family again, so he held her hand distressedly and said, "Just listen to you." ”
"Then I'll go in and get two shovels!" Du Zijun turned over and got off the horse, and before they could reply to him, he ran into the yard and found two shovels to bring with him.
The snow on the beach is deeper than in the city, like a thick goose feather blanket covering the beach.
The snow covered Bai Shuqin's boots, and even though the boots were tied with ropes, some of them still fell into the shoes. She didn't feel cold, but her heart was extremely calm.
