Chapter 113
Without waiting for the guy to introduce him, the young man introduced himself: "Little girl, under Qi Shiming." I don't know why Miss Ziruo asked you to come to me? ”
Su Jinyao looked at Qi Shiming a little, and saw that he was twenty, seven or eight years old, not handsome, but he was quite pleasing to the eye, especially the clothes were neat and clean, giving people a comfortable feeling. Seeing that he asked about Zi Ruolai, his eyes flickered, and he seemed a little anxious, so he secretly felt that this Qi Shiming was particularly concerned about Miss Ziruo?
Su Jinyao felt that this Qi Shiming must be extremely concerned about Miss Ziruo, otherwise why would he come as soon as he saw the veil.
Sure enough, seeing that Su Jinyao didn't answer immediately, Qi Shiming looked left and right, and said, "There are many people here, and there is a lot of inconvenience, please come with me." ”
When Qi Shiming said this, Su Jinyao was a little embarrassed. Seeing that the guy walked away with interest, he said in a low voice: "Don't misunderstand, Lady Ziruo is not uncomfortable, but she asked me to ...... Come and ask you for a roast duck. ”
"Huh? Just a roast duck? Qi Shi was obviously a little surprised, but there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes. It seems that he thinks that if Su Jinyao has greater requirements, he will be happy.
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes." However, this roast duck was not eaten by Miss Ziruo, she gave it to me. I heard that the roast duck in the cyclamen house was ordered in the morning, and I couldn't buy it at this time, so I asked Miss Ziruo to do me a favor. I'll pay for how much this roast duck should be, as long as the people in charge help me figure out a way. ”
The reason why it was explained clearly was because Su Jinyao didn't want to have much favor. She is not short of the money for a roast duck now, and if Ziruo said that it was given to her to eat, she may not appreciate it. So it's money to give, she just goes through the back door and doesn't have to queue up to book.
Qi Shiming listened to Su Jinyao's words, but he also smiled. said: "If Zi Ruo has something to say, let alone a roast duck, even if she asks for it, I will help her find a way." Since Ziruo promised to send it, then of course I can't accept the money. Girl, please wait a minute, I'll go to the back kitchen and get you one. However, the girl took this roast duck and didn't eat it here. ”
"I know, I was going to take it home, too." Su Jinyao nodded, of course she wouldn't get a cheap deal and make trouble for others. If someone watched Su Jinyao walk through the back door, it would also be causing trouble for Qi Shiming.
Qi Shiming came back after walking for a while, with an extra oiled paper bag in his hand, and it was estimated that it was roast duck inside. He handed the oiled paper bag to Su Jinyao and asked, "Can I personally return that handkerchief to Ziruo?" ”
Su Jinyao didn't care about the handkerchief, but after hearing this, she nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome to take care of things." Thanks, I'll go first. After that, he took the roast duck and prepared to leave.
Qi Guan wanted to speak and stopped, but when he saw that Su Jinyao had turned around, he still stopped her and said, "Little girl, stay." ”
Su Jinyao turned back curiously and asked, "Is there anything else in charge of Qi?" Looking at the roast duck in her hand, Su Jinyao subconsciously went to touch the money bag.
Qi Shiming took a breath, shook his head and said, "Little girl, don't get me wrong, it's not about money." Be...... I want to ask the little girl to help me say a few kind words when she sees Ziruo again. ”
Su Jinyao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and asked, "Steward Qi, I am not very familiar with Miss Ziruo, I have only met twice." Therefore, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to fulfill the requirements of Qi Steward. ”
"Little girl, you don't know, Ziruo is arrogant and won't help people easily. Now that she gives you the veil and asks me to give you a roast duck, it can be seen that Ziruo attaches great importance to the little girl. So if the girl has a heart, please help me say a few good words, just say that I admire the talent of Miss Ziruo and want to redeem her. ”
Hearing this, Su Jinyao understood that her guess just now was completely right. However, this Qi Shiming is obviously shaving his head and picking his head, and Ziruo doesn't seem to mean anything to him. Otherwise, Ziruo wouldn't keep saying that she couldn't find her lover.
But Su Jinyao is not a matchmaker, and she is not familiar with this Qi Shiming, and she and Ziruo are just friends who met twice, and even if they have some business dealings. How can she talk about Ziruo's personal affairs.
Su Jinyao said directly: "Sincerity, gold and stone are open." If you have a heart, there will always be a time when you can see the moon. How can I say the relationship between these two people? Besides, I'm still young, so I can't talk about this emotional matter. ”
After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Qi Shiming's face turned red with a "swish". Yes, seeing that Su Jinyao is just a teenage girl, she is really embarrassed to ask someone to tell her such a thing.
Qi Shiming hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt, I didn't think too much, I hope you don't mind, little girl." If you want to eat roast duck in the future, you can come to me Qi Shiming without Ziruo girl's handkerchief, and occasionally one or two roast ducks will be invited. ”
Qi Shiming's speech seemed to be very generous, and there was no falsehood or artificiality. It gave Su Jinyao a good impression.
However, even if the impression is good, Su Jinyao does not have the mind of a matchmaker. He thanked Qi Shiming again before leaving the cyclamen residence.
Su Jinyao has gained a lot now, and when she came out of the cyclamen house, she went straight to the place where she got off when she came. I'm going to discuss it with the second bolt and go back early while the time comes. Give the second bolt more money and let him send him straight home. After all, Su Jinyao had bought so many bedding, and if she was to carry it back alone, it would be tiring enough.
The second bolt was still waiting for Su Jinyao in the old place, and when he saw Su Jinyao coming back with his things, he hurriedly got out of the car to greet him and took all the things.
Su Jinyao saw that there was no one in the carriage today, and asked, "Did you not pull the guests who were on the way, or did the guests not come yet?" ”
Erzhuan replied: "There are two guests going to Datong Town, they are going to get things at this time, and they will be there later." There were no other guests. The girl is early today, should she go back early, or will the girl go around again? ”
"If I don't turn around, I also want to go back early. I still want to discuss with you, you can see if I will add more money to you, can you just send me back to Pingshan Village? I also bought a few sets of bedding, but I couldn't carry them back. "Actually, if Su Jinyao came with a small cart, she would be able to pull the cart back. But the small board car is left at home, and now I can only hire a car.
Erzhuan thought for a while and said, "The road in Pingshan Village is not easy to walk. If I make a trip, I will need at least ten copper plates. If you see it, I'll give it to you. If not, go back to Dazhang Village and hire another family's car to go back. If you hire a donkey cart, it is estimated that seven or eight copper plates will do. ”
Su Jinyao immediately agreed after hearing this, and said, "The donkey cart is not as fast as your carriage, and it is definitely not comfortable to sit on." Ten copper plates, I'll use your car. Also, I'll be here three days later, still by charter. If you think that I always charter a car and delay your business to Datong Town, then I will talk to someone else. It is estimated that chartering a car will be common in the future, and I want to book a car. ”
Hearing that Su Jinyao was going to charter a car again, the second bolt immediately nodded and said, "Okay, of course it's okay." Don't tell you the girl, the business of my carriage to and from Datong Town is not too prosperous, except for the horse to eat forage, there is a little money left. I still have a problem with my legs, and I can't work in the fields, and if there are girls who charter cars from time to time, I can be regarded as an extra income. ”
Since the second bolt agreed, Su Jinyao asked again: "Then if I go to other places in the future, can I also charter your car?" After all, I can't just go to Anji City, I also want to do other business, and I have to go to other places as well. ”
Erzhuan thought for a while and said: "Dazhang Village will pick up and drop off guests in two carriages between me and Uncle Wang, as long as you don't rob Uncle Wang's voice, you can go elsewhere." However, I am most familiar with this road to Anji City, and I am afraid that I am not familiar with other roads, and if I go wrong, I will delay you for the girl. ”
Su Jinyao said: "It's okay, isn't there a mouth under the nose, I don't know the road very well, just ask if I can't find it, and remember it after walking a few times." ”
After such a discussion, the second bolt is also very happy. took the initiative to say to Su Jinyao: "Girl, where are the futons you bought?" I'll rush over and help you get it. ”
Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I'll come back to you and say that, that's what it means." But don't you have to wait for guests? Why don't you wait to grab the guests along? Stop the guests coming and your car is gone. ”
"No, no, no. Girl, when you came back, the two guests had just left for a while, and it was estimated that they would not come back so soon, so let's go and come back quickly without any delay. Besides, guests can wait a little longer when they come, and they have all been agreed before, and the fixed money has also been given. ”
Su Jinyao was relieved when she heard the second bolt say this. got into the carriage, showed the way to the second bolt, and walked to the cloth village.
It is convenient to have a carriage, and after a while, she arrived at Buzhuang, Su Jinyao jumped out of the carriage and went in to ask if the bedding was ready.
The old master had a lot of cotton on his body at this time, a thimble in his hand, and a big needle in his hand. As soon as he saw Su Jinyao coming, he said, "Look, I'm still in a hurry to make the thickest mattress before I finish it." Wait a minute, little girl. ”
Su Jinyao knew that the time she had been coming and going was quite short, and it was already good for the master to be so neat. He said, "Okay, wait a while." Then I'll carry the finished ones to the car first. ”
The old master pointed to the pile of cloth next to him and said, "In this pile of cloth, you pick out a large piece of cloth to make a furoshi, wrap the bedding and pillow core in a complete set, and then take it out." If you don't walk, it's dirty if it's scattered on the ground. Then he added: "Take the ones you have picked up, and I will give you the few pieces of cloth when I turn around." If you want to buy any fabric in the future, whether it's quilts, clothes, or shoes, come to my store. ”
Su Jinyao felt that this master who sold cloth was not bad, and while agreeing, she went to the pile of cloth to find cloth.
Su Jinyao is not a person who likes to take advantage. Although the master said that she should pick a good one, the more people respect her, the more she will not be greedy for an inch. So just pick a few pieces of cheap coarse cloth, as long as the size is right enough to wrap the futon. I didn't go to get the good stuff and the big pieces of cloth.
While the master was still sewing the mattress, he watched Su Jinyao pick out the cloth, and he couldn't help but feel that this patron was really good, if it was such a person to sell things, he would save a lot of heart.
Su Jinyao was busy wrapping up the futon, hugged it to the door, took it, and put it neatly on the car. The first to be loaded into the car are four sets of summer quilts, each set plus a pillow core, which is also not a small pile, accounting for half of the car's place.
When the four sets of bedding were hugged to the car, the master also collected the needle. Then use a short bristle broom to sweep the cotton and thread on the mattress, fold it, and pull a piece of cloth to wrap it for Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao took it and hugged it to the car, and the old master turned around and took a few small axles of silk thread, and wrapped a small bag with a small cloth head. When he went out, he put the small bag with silk threads on the bedding and said, "These threads are very bright, little girl, you can keep them for clothes." Then there is the clothes that need to be sewn and mended when they are torn, and this silk thread is better than twine and cotton thread. ”
Su Jinyao thinks there are still a lot of good people. If people who do business are so kind and make money, then it will be really easy to do business.
After thanking her, Su Jinyao promised to come here to buy things in the future. He went back with the second bolt. When I returned to the place where I had parked my car before, sure enough, a man was already waiting.
Erzhu hurriedly got out of the car, took the sack that the man put at his feet, sent him to the car, and explained, saying that he was helping the customer to pull something. The man was also very talkative, and said that he didn't wait a long time, and then got into the car and stopped talking.
After a while, another old man came, carrying a duffel bag, as if he was going to go far away. The second bolt still helped him take the luggage and put it in the car, and the people in this car were all together.
The second bolt looked at Su Jinyao, then at the other two people, and asked, "Everyone, is there anything else?" If you're all right, sit down, let's go. ”
The three of them nodded, and the second bolt shook the whip, and the big black horse "stepped on" and ran.
When the two of them got off the bus in Datong Town, the second bolt directly drove the carriage to send Su Jinyao home.
It was still early when I passed by Dazhang Village, and Uncle Wang's carriage did not come back. The second bolt didn't say anything, and still drove forward.
I came back early today, and there was a carriage to send me, so I walked the path of Yanshan nearly an hour earlier than usual.
After buying so many things and getting a silver ticket of ten taels of silver, Su Jinyao was very happy in her heart, and she was originally thinking about going home. But suddenly, I felt that there was a strange shadow of a stone on the road where the carriage was walking.
Su Jinyao hurriedly looked back, and saw that the shadow cast on the ground vaguely had a human figure and disappeared in a flash. She looked up again, and saw a stone platform sticking out above the road she had just walked, which was the place where Gu Xuebin was sitting and waiting for her in the morning.
Su Jinyao's mind moved, and she hurriedly asked the second bolt to stop, jumped out of the car and walked to the bottom of the stone platform to take a closer look, but she didn't see any more people.
Su Jinyao lowered her head and thought about it, then walked back and said to Erzhuo: "I temporarily remembered that there are still some things that have not been done, can you help me send these bedding to the Su family in Pingshan Village?" I'll give you the money for the car now, and when you get to the village, you ask Su Xiangui and Liu, and someone will show you the way. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao took out ten copper plates from the money bag. After thinking about it, he took out two more, a total of twelve copper plates and handed them to Erzhuo, and said: "Thank you for helping me send such a trip, if my family asks, you will say that I am doing something in Dazhang Village and have not come back yet." If I ask you where I hired the car, you also say that I hired your car in Dazhang Village, and if anyone asks anything else, you will say that you don't know, okay? ”
The second bolt is not stupid, as soon as she saw that Su Jinyao gave an extra two pennies, she knew that this was the little girl's intention to gag her mouth. But even if Su Jinyao doesn't give money, he will do whatever he says. After all, Su Jinyao is a good customer, and the car money has been given, so let's just say a few words.
Su Jinyao saw that the second bolt honestly took the copper plate, and knew that he wouldn't talk nonsense. Then he took the bag of medicine and the thickest winter quilt from the car, put the medicine in the baggage and carried it behind his back. Then he said to the second bolt: "Okay, you can go back." Thank you very much. ”
Seeing Su Jinyao's thin body carrying such a big bag, the second bolt couldn't help asking, "Girl, where are you going?" To be honest, it's not safe here, and I can't bear to leave you here alone. ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's okay, you can go." As I just taught you, nothing else. Three days later, I will charter a bus to Anji City, you can wait for me in Dazhang Village. ”
There is no way to do it, after all, Su Jinyao is his patron. I wanted to help, but I really couldn't help, so I had to drive away.
Su Jinyao waited until the carriage of the second bolt turned a corner and was out of sight, and then she came to the bottom of the stone platform with such a thick set of winter quilts on her back, raised her head and shouted to it: "Gu Xuebin, you come out, I saw you just now." ”
"......" However, after Su Jinyao shouted, there was no reply.
Su Jinyao looked up, the mountain wall here was steep, and the stone platform blocked the view, so the situation above was not visible at all. Su Jinyao had no choice but to say again: "Gu Xuebin, I know you haven't left yet." What are you hiding? Come out and I'll give you the medicine. ”
"......" or no movement?
Su Jinyao simply stopped talking, pulled up her sleeves, pulled up the skirt, tucked it around her waist, and was about to climb up the stone wall.
This time, Su Jinyao had just climbed one person to a height, and she saw the figure above flashing rapidly. Gu Xuebin jumped down from it in a few vertical jumps.
However, Gu Xuebin fell directly to the ground at this time, so it became Su Jinyao on top and Gu Xuebin on top.
Gu Xuebin raised his head, looked at Su Jinyao who was climbing on the rock wall, and shouted: "Silly girl, come down, why are you climbing so high?" Not afraid of falling to your death? ”
"Don't be afraid." Su Jinyao still didn't let go, her condescending flat mouth didn't buy it at all.
Gu Xuebin was anxious, jumped up and patted Su Jinyao's calf lightly, and roared: "Hurry down, didn't I come down?" ”
Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Then I'll let go and jump straight down." ”
"Jump, I'll pick you up." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he really opened his hands towards Su Jinyao, making a gesture to catch her.
