Chapter 53: Mu Nanyun's people
Qu Xiaobai pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's go on foot, and let Han Weilin send us back when we go back." ”
As he spoke, he had already walked under the big locust tree at the head of the village, and it happened that Yang Erhe's daughter-in-law Jin Zhi came out to pour sewage, and when she saw her walking with Zhao Yuan, she snorted and scolded: "Shameless!" Dirty! ”
Zhao Yuan shouted: "Who are you scolding, Erhe's daughter-in-law?" Keep your mouth clean! ”
Jin Zhi snorted again, "Yo, this is starting to speak for that little prodigal hoof?" You don't want to see if you have those two brushes, and if you can control others! ”
Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Erhe's face, and was too lazy to worry about this crazy woman, and said: "Brother Da Yuan, don't talk to her, let's hurry up." ”
Zhao Yuan persuaded her a few words and asked her not to go to her heart, Qu Xiaobai smiled and said: "I want to go to my heart, I should have committed suicide in Xiliangwan a long time ago." Don't worry, Brother Dayuan, I'm fine. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a carriage rushing towards this side in the distance, and soon, the carriage was near, and the young coachman who was driving the carriage jumped out of the car, hugged his fists at the two of them, and asked, "Dare to ask the two, is there a little lady of Qu Xiaobai in this village?" ”
Qu Xiaobai, the coachman who asked for directions, didn't know her at all, but she was not a person who loved to escape, and replied: "I'm Qu Xiaobai, are you looking for me?" ”
The coachman bowed his head: "The little one has seen the master." ”
Qu Xiaobai was startled, jumped back, and raised his hand to block, "Don't, what's the master?" I don't even know who you are. You, you get up and talk first, I'm not used to others kneeling me! ”
The coachman said: "My name is Chen An, I was bought by Mu Gongzi, Mu Gongzi said, you need a carriage to run in the county and town in the future, and in the future, this carriage, as well as the small ones, will be at your disposal." ”
Qu Xiaobai immediately understood what was going on, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the golden branch at the door shouting again: "I said Zhao Yuan, you see, people are capable now, and they are related to the people in the county and town. ”
Qu Xiaobai is not a virgin who can't fight back and scold and doesn't return the mouth, it is impossible to let Jin Zhi talk nonsense, she has a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Erhe, I won't worry about you this time, but if you don't know how to take care of your mouth, I can take care of it for you." ”
Her aura was cold and scary, Jin Zhi was stunned by her momentum for a while, her mouth was open, and before she could speak, Qu Xiaobai had already jumped into the carriage and ordered the coachman Chen An: "Catch the car." Brother Da Yuan, you also hurry up and get in the car. ”
Zhao Yuan sat in the wheel of the car, and did not enter the carriage in order to avoid suspicion. Qu Xiaobai didn't invite him in.
In this boring feudal society, people are terrible, so they have to avoid suspicion.
The carriage creaked along, fast and steady. Qu Xiaobai sat in the comfortable carriage, his thoughts a little mixed.
In fact, as an "old fritter" who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, what kind of verbal violence has she not seen? Jin Zhi and the little bit of Taoism of the people in the village, in her eyes, it is not the climate at all, what she is afraid of is that Yang Ling will be crowned with a green prairie above her head for no reason.
She didn't have a husband and wife with him, why did she give him such anger?
Yang Ling.
When these two words came to her mind, she only felt her heart tremble.
Yang Ling's handsome appearance, Yang Ling's gentle and magnetic voice, Yang Ling's vigorous skills, Yang Ling's scoundrel...... His mind was already occupied by Yang Ling.
Qu Xiaobai shook his head violently, and secretly told himself, Qu Xiaobai, you can't think about him, you can't fall in love with him, you are a person in the 21st century, and you have to go back to your parents!
The carriage soon carried her and Zhao Yuan to the town and stopped in front of the Tianxiang Tower.
Tianxianglou is the restaurant where Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling sell pheasants to others. Qu Xiaobai got out of the car and entered the restaurant, and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Uncle, do you remember me?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at her for a long time, but he didn't recognize who the beautifully dressed little lady in front of him was, so he could only smile awkwardly: "That, forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know if you are ...... madam."
Qu Xiaobai laughed heartily: "I am the one who sold pheasants and wild boars to you that day!" ”
The shopkeeper scratched his head, "This, it doesn't look like it." His gaze still swept over Zhao Yuan, giving rise to suspicion. Although this little lady is different, the fool next to the little lady that day is hundreds of times better looking than the man next to her now.
"Indeed, I, the treasurer. This is my brother, and the one who came with me that day was my husband. Qu Xiaobai also saw his suspicions and explained.
"That'...... Madame, you ...... today."
"We're going to have a guest here. The guest's surname is Zhang, and our surname is Zhao. Please give us a private room with a cubicle. ”
"Oh, well, ma'am, please come with me."
Tianxianglou said that it is not big, it is not small to say that it is small, there are three boxes on the second floor, one of which is larger, and it is divided into two rooms with a screen. Qu Xiaobai looked at the screen, it was okay, she instructed the shopkeeper: "Trouble uncle, you can cook us a few good dishes that you are good at, and then give us a pot of good wine." Oh yes, give me a pot of tea and a plate of snacks. Go up first. ”
The shopkeeper understood that she was hungry at a glance, so he first made a snack pad, and was busy preparing, and after a while, he brought a plate of crispy fried spring cakes and a pot of good tea.
Qu Xiaobai brought the cake and tea to the inner room, she also went to the inner room to sit down, retired the shopkeeper, called Zhao Yuan in, instructed him to say something, and saw that the time was almost up, so she asked Zhao Yuan to wait outside.
Zhao Yuan met with him, introduced each other, and sat down, and the shopkeeper quickly brought the dishes to the table.
Zhao Yuan's identity today is not his own identity, but the identity of a thousand commanders in the army. Anyway, it is impossible for the rich man Zhang to go to the army to inspect it.
The commander of the thousand wanted to settle his wife and children who had defected here from his hometown, so he bought land and bought a house.
According to Qu Xiaobai's meaning, he didn't plan to buy a house. She planned to wait for the money to rebuild on the basis of those few small dilapidated houses. But considering that she only bought land and did not buy a house, she was afraid that the rich man would not agree, so she had to plan to buy the house as well.
The house will be converted into a factory in the future, which is also good.
When Qu Xiaobai thought of this, a bright light flashed in her mind, in order to deal with Zhu Changsong, she was going to pull Mu Nanyun's tiger skin to fake the tiger's might.
Zhao Yuan and Zhang Caizhu talked very smoothly, and soon, Zhang Caizhu showed the idea of moving out in a hurry, and Zhao Yuan pressed the price, and finally sold the deal at the price of 1,000 taels of silver.
Four hundred taels of silver, plus six hundred taels of silver tickets, were delivered on the spot, and the rich man Zhang took out the title deed, and the two of them went to the town's chief to hand over the transfer.
After the two left, Qu Xiaobai also settled the account, went out of Tianxiang Building, and followed the carriage all the way to the door of Zhenbao's house.
She expected that Zhu Changsong must have greeted Zhenbao, and the transfer would not be so smooth, so when Zhao Yuan and Zhang Caizhu entered Zhenbao's house, she hurriedly called the coachman Chen An to a secluded place and asked him: "Mu Gongzi asked you to come, did you sign any contract with you?" ”
Chen An said: "It's signed and sold. Deed. ”
"Then what do you have to prove that you are a slave in his house?"
Chen An thought for a while, stretched out his arm, revealing a tattoo, "Does this count?" ”
In ancient times, people would leave a mark on the body of a person who sold his body permanently, this Qu Xiaobai had heard of it, and it seemed that this was really the case. On Chen An's arm, there is an auspicious cloud.
Clouds, Mu Nanyun. Sure enough, it was Mu Nanyun's family.
"When you go in for a while, you will say that you are a person from General Mu Nanyunmu's mansion, and you go to Zhao Yuan to pass on General Mu's order, and say that a group of Di Yi soldiers have been found at the border, and let him lead the troops to encircle and suppress."
She looked at Chen An again and felt that he was not dressed shabby, so she finalized the plan.
Chen An nodded, took a deep breath, and had the courage to knock on the door.
Qu Xiaobai exhaled outside, and said in his heart, Mu Nanyun, Mu Nanyun, who made your name too good, don't blame me for using it.
She waited outside for about two quarters of an hour, and then saw Zhao Yuan, Chen An and the rich man Zhang come out together, followed by an obese middle-aged man, who thought it was Feng Xiangtao, the town guard.
Looking at the faces of Zhao Yuan and Chen An, this matter is done.
She hurriedly jumped into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
After Zhao Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Caizhu, he instructed Chen An: "Let's go, go pick up Xiaobai's younger siblings." ”
Chen An was just about to tell him that his little white brother and sister had already gotten into the car, but before the words could be spoken, Zhao Yuan had already gotten into the car, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Qu Xiaobai sitting in the car.
Qu Xiaobai saw that Feng Xiangtao was still at the door, and hurriedly made a silent gesture, Zhao Yuan understood, sat in the car hard, and hurriedly ordered Chen An to catch the car.
Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but smile when he saw his cramped appearance, and when the car left the door of Zhenbao's house, Zhao Yuan hurriedly sat outside the curtain, and Qu Xiaobai didn't force him.
Qu Xiaobai discussed with Zhao Yuan through the curtain: "Brother Da Yuan, are there any idle houses in our village that want to be sold out?" ”
"What, are you going to buy a house?"
"Isn't this Chen An here, you also know that the three small dilapidated rooms in my house are too cramped to live in me and Yang Ling, where can we arrange a third person? Therefore, I thought about buying a house in the village for Chen An to live in, preferably with a courtyard and a spacious place at the door for carriages and horses. ”
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Aunt Zhuzi's house has three idle houses, and the front door is quite spacious, otherwise, you can discuss it with her." ”
"It's fine. In that case, let's go to the shops in the town and buy some sets of bedding. I don't think there is any extra bedding at Aunt Zhu's house. ”
Qu Xiaobai's carefulness and intimacy suddenly warmed up to the coachman who had just come to report.
