Chapter 161: Another rag doll
The portrait of Master Lan and his current appearance are only six images.
That was actually what Azhi imagined, Master Lan before he was disfigured when he was young.
And this kind of imagination is based on Master Lan's current appearance, and people's appearance will change with age and environmental changes, so this portrait does not show that Mr. Lan was like this more than ten years ago.
Wang Shuangxi smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that now Mr. Lan is not only disfigured, but also has no siblings, even if he takes that guy to Xi'an to recognize people in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to recognize him." ”
After more than ten years, it was disfigured again, and it was indeed difficult to recognize.
Lu You is a straight-tempered person, so the real reason why Azhi went to Yulin, Xu An and Shen Tong did not tell him, for fear that he would show his stuff in front of Mr. Lan. He didn't know that until today.
Lu You patiently listened to Azhi's words, and said unhappily: "If I had known that Azhi was going to investigate this, I would have gone with him, found a big car, and pulled those people surnamed Lan to Xi'an with that guy, so that they could recognize people one by one, how could it be so troublesome, by the way, what are you Mr. Chalan doing?" ”
He didn't even know why he wanted to check.
Xu An's face was expressionless, Azhi was dumbfounded, and Wang Shuangxi shook his head with a smile.
Only Fang Fei asked suspiciously: "Uncle Lu You, among the people around us, only Master Lan's master and servant don't know the origin, although he doesn't look like a bad person, but the shrimp head doesn't look like a ......."
Fang Fei wanted to say that the shrimp head also looked like a bad person, but she suddenly found that the expressions of several people were not quite right, Fang Fei stuck out her tongue and stopped in time.
Lu You didn't care about this, he complained: "Speaking of shrimp heads, I'm angry, with Miss Shen's ability, why don't you keep him, Lao Tzu must ask him, who sent him!" ”
Successfully digressed.
Shen Tong coughed lightly, looked at Azhi, and said, "According to the date Mr. Lan said, did there ever a Tartar loot in Yulin that year?" ”
The reason why Azhi was asked to go to Yulin was not only because he was clever, but also because he was careful and steady beyond his actual age.
This matter Azhi was investigated, he said: "I asked the entourage of Major General Fan, those two years were the most arrogant time for the Tartars in Yulin, General Fan was ordered to come to Yulin at that time, according to the entourage, in the winter of previous years, the Tartars would come to rob the property, livestock and women, but it was only a small fight, the winter of those two years was particularly cold, the Tartars invaded the territory in a big way, burned and looted all the way, seven or eight villages were razed to the ground, the people fled to Yulin City, and the big families in Yulin also picked up the shed and gave porridge. The previous boss of the fat powder shop met Mr. Lan at that time, and he was able to match it. “
"But since it was so chaotic at that time, and the city of Yulin was not peaceful, why did the boss go to Yulin to buy goods? Brother Shuangxi, you know him best, do you think he looks like a person who doesn't even want his life to make money? Shen Tong asked.
Of course not, the boss is a very family-oriented person, otherwise he would not have sold the shop and returned to the south, most of such people would not take risks, and he already had a small shop in Xi'an at that time, so there was no need to risk being robbed by the Tartars to Yulin.
Wang Shuangxi was thoughtful, he said: "Although I haven't been with him for a long time, he is a very stable person, not to mention that he was making trouble with Tartars at that time, even if he didn't make trouble with Tartars, he would go to Yulin if he had nine out of ten to ensure that he could make money on this trip." But he won't lie about this kind of thing, he said that he met Master Lan in Yulin, it will definitely be, if he wants to lie, he can make up a more convincing reason, there is no need to say it so unbelievable. ”
Shen Tong nodded and said, "Or when he goes, Yulin has already settled down." ”
But when he met Master Lan, Master Lan's injury was a new injury.
Listening to it, Lu You finally understood, he scolded: "Grandma, there is really something in this, I will put the knife on his neck, I don't believe that he is not telling the truth!" ”
......
In the evening, Shen Tong returned to her house, she went to Huang's house, where there was lukewarm tea, as well as her favorite salt-and-pepper snacks.
Huang Gong was collecting the soles of his shoes, and Shen Tong saw that it was a pair of men's shoes and asked, "A-Niang, who is this for?" ”
Huang's voice was always like a gentle drizzle, and she said: "It's already spring, it's time to change clothes, shoes and socks, I'll make a new pair of shoes for Uncle Xu and each of them, and then make new clothes." ”
Shen Tong said: "A-Niang, let's do it during the day, waste your eyes." ”
Huang raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "A-Niang is also idle, just to pass the time." ”
Shen Tong smiled and stopped persuading.
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Xinyu came in from outside, she wore a pink satin jacket, and had begun to grow her head, her hair hung down to her shoulders, and she tied two little maids.
She held a cloth bag in her hand, walked up to Shen Tong with a smile, and handed her the cloth bag: "Sister, see if you like it?" ”
"What is it?" Shen Tong opened the cloth bag with a smile, and the smile was fixed on his face, in the cloth bag was a rag doll, which was only seventy or eighty percent similar to the one she had hugged since she was a child, "Hey, this is what my sister sewed for me?" ”
Shen Tong was surprised, but with a little surprise.
"My needlework is not as fine as my mother's, don't dislike it, sister." Xinyu was a little embarrassed.
"How can you dislike it, I like it very much!" As he spoke, Shen Tong got up and showed the rag doll to the Huang family, "Ah Niang, look, the doll made by my sister looks like the one I used to make, was it taught by Ah Niang?" It must be, my sister hasn't seen my doll. ”
Something flashed in Xinyu's eyes, but when Shen Tong looked over, she had recovered as before: "My sister is right, I first drew the picture and showed it to A-Niang, A-Niang changed it for me, and I started sewing." ”
"Sister's heart is so coincidental, isn't it, Auntie?" Shen Tong said with a smile.
Huang smiled: "Yes, Ah Wei is a clever child, it is rare that she has a heart, I heard that you like that doll very much, so I want to make a new one for you." ”
Shen Tong held the rag doll in his arms and said to Xinyu: "Thank you, sister, it's a pity that I can't be a girl, I can't even make a purse, and I don't know what to do to give to my sister." ”
Fang Fei on the side hurriedly said: "Why don't I help Miss embroider a purse and give it to Miss Yu, I will be a female celebrity." ”
The maid helps the young lady to be a female celebrity, which is also common.
Shen Tong said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do it with you, and I'll give it to my sister when it's ready." ”
Xinyu pursed her lips and smiled, and was generous: "Okay, then I'll thank you first." ”
Back in his room, Shen Tong looked at the rag doll in a daze.
Fang Fei saw it, held her chin and asked, "Miss, don't you like this doll?" It's so much prettier than your old one. ”
The previous one, even if it wasn't completely destroyed by the fire, was already very old, and it couldn't compare to this one.
But the young lady didn't look happy.
