Chapter 316: A Chance Encounter in the Town

The Wen family's old house is located in a small town outside the capital.

Although it is said to be a small town, its geographical location is next to the bustling capital, and it is actually a big place compared to other places.

The town is slightly inferior to the capital, but there are many people living here.

As the closest town to the capital, the people who live here are not only those who have lived here since childhood, but also some large families in the capital who choose to return to their hometowns and come here.

So compared to other places, this small town really can't be described as small.

Maybe walking on the street here, any person you meet may be a powerful person in the court.

This background makes this town unique, but most of the people who choose to live here are some light-hearted families.

First, the geographical location of the hometown is remote, and second, it is almost at the foot of the imperial city, so it is very convenient to do something if you really want to do something.

The older generation of the Wen family may have had such thoughts in mind.

There will be a market every three days in the town, which is the same as when you were still in the capital, although it is not as prosperous as the capital market, but it is also worth seeing for those who have leisure.

The terrain of the town almost circles around the center of the town.

The Wen family's old house is in a high-profile household in the center of the town.

In addition to the Wen family, there are almost other families in this area, and like them, they have prominent families and are powerful people in the current dynasty.

This forms one of the most affluent areas in the town.

Mrs. Cheng has not been back here for a long time, but she has already inquired about the family affairs around her. When she married the current Huai Enhou, the whole Huai Enhou already lived in the capital, so she was not familiar with this side.

The sun had just risen, and the light shining brightly on people's skin, but there was no temperature at all.

In front of Huai'en waiting for the old house, the maid Qiaoling leaned over slightly, and one hand carefully dragged Mrs. Cheng's hand, which was usually well cared for. Helplessly, Mrs. Cheng is getting older, and the ravines on her hands are increasing as she gets older.

Outside the gate of the old mansion, there is a carriage with low-key and luxurious decoration, which is enough to let people see the financial resources of the owner of the carriage. Walking to the carriage, Qiao Ling called in a low voice as a reminder, "Madam." ”

There are not many pedestrians on the street, today is the day of the market, and besides, there are some powerful people living in this place, so there are fewer people on weekdays, and today there are even fewer people.

Mrs. Cheng shouldn't have responded to Qiaoling, she turned her head and looked around a few times, and finally said: "Remove this thing, it's only been a short time since you came to this place, let me take a good look at what is going on."

No one dared to refute Mrs. Cheng's words, Qiao Ling dragged her hand and nodded gently.

After the words fell, Qiao Ling's eyes glanced at the few small servants guarding the door, when someone came down to take the carriage down.

Mrs. Cheng was full of satisfaction at this time, and said in a lazy tone: "No one else needs to follow today, Qiao Ling will go out with me to have a look."

The group of maids who followed behind listened to Mrs. Cheng's words and silently retreated from behind her.

Soon, only Qiao Ling was left by Mrs. Cheng's side.

Huai'en Houfu has been favored by today's saints for decades, and his family affairs are not only prominent, but his former power in the court can also be regarded as being able to call the wind and rain.

Although Mrs. Cheng obediently returned to the old house, a series of habits that she had developed in the past still couldn't be abandoned for a while. At this time, there is no one in this world who does not like rights.

When you get to the main street, the scenery is different from the old house of Wynne.

I saw that there were many vendors who came to sell goods on the street, and there were many pedestrians, but it was far less than the feeling of crowds of people when the market was in the capital.

There was a very good jewelry store in this town, and Mrs. Cheng had made jewelry in that store when she visited there a few days ago.

After calculating the agreed time, Mrs. Cheng walked to the front of the store after strolling.

Before she approached the store, Qiao Ling heard a gentle and beautiful female voice, which made people feel comfortable at first glance, and she couldn't help but feel a little good for the owner of this voice.

Qiao Ling listened, deliberately ignoring the faint familiarity in this voice. She stood a step behind Mrs. Cheng, not only her, but Mrs. Cheng also paused when she heard this voice.

The next moment, Mrs. Cheng had already seen the inside of the jewelry store, and saw a slender woman standing in front of the counter.

The woman was wearing a goose-yellow shirt and tied her waist with a three-finger-wide belt, and Mrs. Cheng felt from a distance that the waist was like the wicker.

The woman has waist-length hair and shiny jewelry on her head. Mrs. Cheng looked at this back and felt a little familiar, and the steps under her feet had already taken the lead in reacting, stepping into the jewelry store.

The owner of the store was taking a bag of things to the woman, he saw Mrs. Cheng with sharp eyes, his face was happy, and asked, "Mrs. Cheng, why are you here today?"

It just so happened that the woman in the yellow shirt heard the boss speak, and she also turned her head and looked back. This look made Mrs. Cheng recognize her. The woman in the yellow shirt reacted quickly, looked at Mrs. Cheng and smiled sweetly, and took the lead in shouting, "Mrs. Cheng."

Mrs. Cheng was also very happy when she looked at her, approached her in a few steps, reached out to hold her hand, looked her up and down, and said happily: "Miss Xueqing, why are you here?" This is strange, this is not in the capital, I can see you here!"

Seeing that they knew each other, the boss didn't say much, he turned around and went into the shop, and when he came out again, two women, an old man and a young woman, had already made it to the chairs that were placed in the store for customers to rest.

The boss had something in his hand, he walked over and showed it to Mrs. Cheng, and said, "Mrs. Cheng, it just so happens that you are here today." You've done what you ordered last time, are you satisfied?"

The paper on the surface is opened, revealing a hairpin inside. Mrs. Cheng picked it up and took a look, the materials used for this hairpin are all top-notch, and it is very heavy in her hand.

She nodded with satisfaction and gave a somewhat perfunctory evaluation, "Not bad." ”

Qiao Ling directly found the money bag and gave the money for the hairpin to the boss. Mrs. Cheng had just moved here, and today she suddenly met Wang Xueqing, which surprised her and made her a little happy at the same time.

Wang Xueqing's eyebrows are supple and she has a gentle appearance. Not only is she good-looking, but her family affairs are not bad, and she is also knowledgeable.

Such a woman is naturally very satisfied in the eyes of Mrs. Cheng. Compared to the woman at home who only knows how to do some cheap work, who doesn't like such a beautiful girl?

After a while, Wang Xueqing suddenly proposed: "It's the first time I've come here today, why don't you go out with me to have a look?" Mrs. Cheng didn't think about it, and immediately agreed to the proposal, so the two got up and walked out on the street together.

Wang Xueqing didn't bring a maid, and Qiao Ling was the only one who followed behind them today. And along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, and there were many topics.
