Chapter 8 Liu Gongzi in everyone's mouth
Jingnan City.
The guy at the pharmacy hit a hache, and after a month of rainy season, there were not many people on the street, and the pharmacy may have been out of business for a long time.
A brisk wind chime sounded at the door, and the man squinted his eyes to see the two men coming in in their robes.
"Licorice three coins, kudzu root two coins, angelica four coins......" He hadn't opened his mouth to ask, and the person standing in front of him had already whispered.
"Okay, the guest officer will wait a while, and the little one will help you grab the medicine." The guy said this, but he couldn't help but look at the two visitors.
Although the person standing in front of him lowered his voice, he could still clearly hear the meaning and immaturity, and then looked at the person behind him who didn't say a word, and a gray cloth shirt was exposed under the thick coat.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and grabbed the medicine for them.
The man behind him took out his purse and gave him the silver.
The guy stared at the white hands and was stunned.
"Sister, do you want to find a shop to rest for a while? I'm going to send salt to Liu's house? After leaving the shop, Bai Shan spoke.
The person behind her was Bai Jin, she shook her head and said, "No, I'll go with you." ”
Bai Jin didn't want to come, and it was better to leave all the things about Yanfang's appearance to Bai Shan, but Luo urged her to go with Bai Shan.
Bai Jin had been at home long enough, and Luo wanted her to breathe.
It just so happened that I also came out to see what it was like in Jingnan City.
This place is actually not much different from Hailing, Bai Jin thought about it and stopped the ox cart.
Looking up, a very large shop is in front of you, and the plaque on it reads "Liujia Salt Shop".
This is the Liu family's salt shop? Bai Jin blinked and said, "It doesn't seem to be very big." ”
Bai Shan almost fell off the ox cart when he heard his sister's words: "Sister, this Liujia salt shop is the largest salt shop in Jingnan City, and the salt of Jingnan Houfu comes from here." ”
"I remember that there are seven more cities under Jingnan's fiefdom? Are the salt shops also owned by the Liu family? Bai Jin asked.
Bai Shan shook his head: "That's not it, although the Liu family has branches in all parts of Jingnan, but in fact, they only have Jingnan City and Kong City on the side, and the other cities have their own salt shops." ”
Therefore, the Liu family is indeed just a small salt shop compared to the Yun family.
Bai Jin didn't want to tell anyone about her previous life, but she asked tentatively, "Do you know the Yun family?" ”
"The Yun family?" Bai Shan picked up bags of salt and put them on the wooden cart of the Liu family and said, "Don't you know? Is this also a salt seller? ”
Bai Shan's words had just fallen, but he heard a laugh from inside the salt shop: "I haven't seen Sister Jin'er for so long, I didn't expect to know so much." ”
was suddenly called "Sister Jin'er", and Bai Jin couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Without turning his head, Bai Jin could guess who it was.
The legendary Liu Gongzi.
But Bai Jin just glanced at it from a distance, and didn't see the appearance of Liu Gongzi clearly, this time the person appeared directly in front of her and looked carefully.
The person in front of him was more than seven feet tall, his figure was quite thin, he was dressed in a water-blue robe woven of flowing cloud brocade, and although his face was not particularly good-looking, he was a little bookish.
It's no wonder that the previous "white brocade" liked it.
Bai Shan looked at Liu Xuran with some caution, when he came to Liu's house the first two times, Liu Xuran had asked him many times about Bai Jin.
"Liu Gongzi." Politeness still has to be there, the smile on Bai Jin's face did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he got up and saluted him without being humble or arrogant.
As soon as the eyes of the two made contact, Liu Xuran was a little stunned.
But he still spoke: "Steward Yu, help him transport the salt in, the price is a little higher." ”
Although these words were said to Bai Shan, but the words were indeed said to Bai Jin, and the housekeeper Yu beside him nodded, knowing in his heart what the young master was thinking, and reached out to help Bai Shan push the salt in.
"I'll do it myself!" Bai Shan was quite repulsed, frowning and looking at Bai Jin.
Bai Jin smiled and said, "You go in with him." ”
"But my sister ......"
"It's fine." Bai Jin glanced at Liu Xuran and said, "Our family's salt is the best salt, and Liu Gongzi will definitely give us a good price." ”
"Nature." Liu Xuran nodded and agreed.
Bai Shan was not at ease, but he still went in with Steward Yu.
Bai Jin watched him turn into the store before he said softly: "Young Master Liu, what is the matter with me today?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Liu Xuran's gaze still turned around Bai Jin several times, "Sister Jin'er, if it's convenient, why don't you follow me into the store to drink a cup of tea, it's strange that it's raining outside now." ”
"No need." Bai Jin touched the hair standing on her body, compared to this weather, Liu Xuran's words made her feel cold.
"Okay."
Liu Xuran lowered his eyebrows, he had already glanced at Bai Jin several times, and found that she seemed to be a little different from before.
Although the two of them treated each other politely when they met before, and there was nothing out of bounds, Bai Jin's eyes always looked at him with affection. But now, her eyes are quite transparent, like the water of a lake.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Liu Xuran actually felt that these eyes were more beautiful.
"I heard from my father that Uncle Bai passed away a few days ago, and you have been sick for a few days?" After a while, Liu Xuran asked, "Are you okay at home and in health now?" ”
Bai Jin nodded and replied: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for your concern, everything is as usual at home, and now my health is fine, by the way, thank you Gongzi for the ten taels of silver." ”
"Yes," Liu Xuran muttered, "if it is...... If you wish, I can beg my father to let you marry me. ”
"For a wife? Is it for a wife or a concubine? Bai Jin looked at him with a smile and asked.
Bai Jinlai, who was stupid and stupid before, is estimated to have been deceived by this person a long time ago, and I have to say that this Liu Xuran is simply a good hand at deceiving women.
When Bering died, the people of the Liu family directly threw ten taels of silver and ignored it, so what's the use of coming over to ask for warmth now?
She also said before that Liu Xuran is the eldest son of the Liu family, a big merchant, and what is her Bai Jin's background? It's just a girl from a small village, if Liu Xuran said it was true, she would want to applaud him!
crossed the gap between the portals and hesitated to marry someone like her.
Obviously, Liu Xuran doesn't look like such a person, and this bloody plot will only appear in the script.
After listening to Bai Jin's words, the smile on Liu Xuran's face could no longer be contained, Bai Jin sat on the ox cart and dangled his legs and said, "Liu Gongzi just said that he wouldn't be lying to me, right?" ”
"I've convinced my father ......"
"Take me as a concubine?" Bai Jin quickly continued.
"I guess these days, Master Liu should have found a family for his son, right?" Bai Jin raised his chin and asked.
Bai Jinchai is not bad, in the past few days, Master Liu has found him a family affair, it is the eldest lady of the Zhang family, this Zhang family is also well-known in Jingnan City, and the two families are the right match.
It's just that the Miss Zhang family is not good-looking, not to mention black and fat, and has a big temper, Liu Xuran gradually remembered Bai Jin's goodness.
His abacus is very good, since his father wants him to marry the eldest lady of the Zhang family, then marry it, this concubine Master Liu can't manage it, and he can just accept Bai Jin.
