Chapter 105: Going Out
After saying goodbye to Sister Liu this night, Shi Qingqian went to look for Jing'an with some trepidation.
"You mean, tomorrow night is the fifteenth, and there are a lot of guests in the Red Silk Courtyard, so Sister Liu wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape with you?"
After listening to what Shi Qingqian said about Sister Liu'er's thoughts, Jing'an leaned on the window and asked.
Shi Qingqian nodded, "I'll definitely find a way to find you an axe or something tomorrow, so that you can break the chain before dark, so that we can escape together." ”
Jing An thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Sister Qian, tomorrow you and Sister Liu will go together, leave me alone." When you escape, I'll call someone to save me!" ”
"How can this work?" Shi Qingqian refused, she was afraid that even if she could escape, Min Niang of the Red Silk Courtyard would use Jing'an who stayed here to open the knife.
"The injuries on my body are not healed yet, and I can't run fast at all, if you take me with you, I'm afraid no one will be able to escape." Jing'an replied calmly, her words were reasonable and well-founded, and Shi Qingqian could not refuse.
Shi Qingqian carefully weighed the two options, and finally won, "Okay, Jing'an, I'll find someone to save you as soon as I get home!" ”
Jing'an has the blood of the soldiers who protect the country in her body, and she has never been afraid of death, not to mention the current situation, her temporary sacrifice is also for everyone's whole body, she feels that what she has done is worth it.
Early the next morning, Shi Qingqian went to Fuyun Courtyard.
Before leaving yesterday, none of them agreed to her and said that she would take her out to buy some things and come back today, Shi Qingqian had already planned to take this opportunity to ask for help, so he got up very early.
She found the clothes she was wearing when she left home yesterday, pulled off a piece of cloth the size of a palm, and wrote the words 'Lizhou Red Silk Academy' in her own blood on it.
As long as she can find someone willing to deliver the message for her, she believes that her family will be able to understand the meaning of these five words.
"Little girl, you got up early today." Shi Qingqian stood outside the door of Wuyi's bedroom and waited for him, and it didn't take long for him to pack himself up and walk out leisurely.
Today, he is wearing a dark wide-sleeved collared brocade shirt, with a concentric circle carved with a double fish pattern on his waist, and his long hair is pulled up, which is particularly refreshing.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the fox-shaped mask on his face.
Shi Qingqian secretly stuck out his tongue and replied unabashedly: "That's nature, it's not easy to leave this smoky red silk courtyard one day, I'm naturally happy." ”
"It's like you're not coming back." None of them looked at her deeply.
"How is that possible, no one is willing to let me go back?"
Shi Qingqian said. It's not that she doesn't come back, but that she doesn't come back and then escapes at night, and there is still an essential difference between the two, and she is not lying.
None of them answered her questions again, just smiled softly and led her towards the outside of the Red Silk Courtyard.
The first time I went out of the gate of the Red Silk Temple.
Shi Qingqian used to clean in a place far away from the gate, and as soon as she got close, she would be intimidated back by the gatekeeper with her eyes, so that she didn't even see the appearance of this road.
Today she was able to swagger out behind Wuyi, and even the two gatekeepers stared at each other in disbelief. When she walked to them, in order to deliberately anger them, she specially raised her chin high, for fear that no one would hear it, and said: "Oh, it's comfortable to go out and see!" ”
was so angry that the faces of the two gatekeepers turned green, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the 'nobles', so they had to 'watch' Shi Qingqian leave without saying a word.
None of them naturally noticed Shi Qingqian's careful thoughts, and did not deliberately dismantle her, but watched her bully appearance with relish. After all, she is relying on her own 'potential'.
"There is no son, should I say it or not, although the Red Silk Courtyard is not a high-class place, its geographical location is really good." Looking at the bustling street market in front of him, Shi Qingqian said sincerely, "I also admire you for being able to open the Qinglou on the official road." ”
Generally, Qinglou is opened on a remote road, after all, such a Fengyue place is always not in the stream. So everyone will have some sense of avoiding shame, but none of them obviously think so.
I saw the street in front of me, the road is smooth and smooth, wide enough to walk side by side by two or three carriages, there are many merchants on both sides, and the flow of cars, horses and pedestrians is endless.
This official road alone is completely comparable to the prosperity of the capital. Of course, in general, this kind of town is prosperous on official roads, and the development of other places may not be so good. Another reason is that this Lizhou is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and this official road can be described as a hub area in the suburbs of the capital, and this business is naturally more developed.
"Most people don't dare to take risks because they miss out on the greater good." None of them said calmly.
Shi Qingqian glanced at him, "I didn't think you still have some business acumen." This sentence is sincere, most of the ancient people followed the rules, and occasionally there were some 'outliers', none of them being one of them.
The two of them walked to the door of a store one after the other, and none of them stopped here, "You wait for me outside." "It means that Shi Qingqian should not follow up.
Shi Qingqian wished that he could act on his own, so he nodded hurriedly and obediently, and thought that he would promise that he would wait for him obediently, so he walked in with confidence.
She looked at the shop, and there was only a wooden sign engraved with the words 'Sifang Pavilion', and she didn't know what it was buying.
The store was small, perhaps not as big as the lobby of the Red Silk Courtyard, and as soon as they entered, the little servants inside closed the wooden door tightly, as if they were afraid that outsiders would see it.
However, this Sifang Pavilion is really not good-looking, Shi Qingqian looked at this name, and guessed that it might be the so-called circulation place of Jianghu news, which is specially used to sell all kinds of gossip. However, this is also a random guess based on the experience she has gained from reading novels for so many years, and her attention is not at all on this square pavilion, and when none of them are gone, she turns her head to find someone who can speak.
Walking past a few stalls, she suddenly saw a grocery vendor talking to a merchant who was driving. Listening to the conversation between the two, it meant that the driver would give the vendor and several other shops fresh vegetables every day, and seeing that he was carrying a carriage, and he looked like the kind of people who were running around for the sake of etiquette, Shi Qingqian locked him up.
"This big brother, can you do the little girl a favor?" Shi Qingqian stepped forward and asked cautiously.
Although the driver of the carriage came from a poor family and made a living by buying vegetables, he could be regarded as traveling from south to north and meeting many people.
He glanced at Shi Qingqian, and felt that although this little girl was coarse and linen, her face was lovely, her eyes were rolling slightly, she was very clever, and her heart was soft, so he asked angrily: "Little girl, what's the matter?" ”
Shi Qingqian took out his blood book from his arms and said to the man: "Can the eldest brother go to the capital and help me deliver a letter?" She was afraid that men would not want to go back and forth, so she deliberately added, "There will definitely be a good reward." ”
The man thought for a while, "It's not in the way to go to the capital, I'm familiar with this road." The vegetables he grows at home also have to be sent to the vendors in the capital, so he knows how to go with his eyes closed on this journey, "Where are you going to send them?" ”
Shi Qingqian saw that he was going to agree, and he was happy in his heart, "Shen Family's Marquis Mansion!" Ignoring the man's somewhat surprised eyes, she continued: "Big brother, you just have to send it, and you don't have to say anything else, you can ask the steward of the Hou Mansion for fifty taels of silver as a reward for your travels." ”
The man was very suspicious, but seeing that she was talking extraordinary, and that she was going to send food to the capital today, he took it as a good thing to do it on the way, so he nodded and accepted the blood book in Shi Qingqian's hand.
Shi Qingqian was so grateful that he didn't expect this letter to be sent out so smoothly. She thought that before tonight, the Hou Mansion would definitely send someone to the Red Silk Courtyard, and she and Sister Liu escaped and might be able to collide with them. Even if it is staggered, the people of the Hou Mansion will think that they are going to save Jing'an.
Thinking like this, she had more expectations for tonight's action.
