Chapter 54: By the way
Lin Yanniang took out a shriveled money bag, poured a small handful of copper into it, counted the amount and paid it to the guard.
Seeing that the guard had received the money, he took out the wax seal, sealed the envelope, and put it into a basket that was not very large.
There were also a few letters in the basket, and although she didn't know where to send them, she thought that they would definitely be sorted and delivered separately when the time came, right?
"Anything else?" The sentry turned his head and saw her staring at the basket in distraction, so he asked kindly.
"No, thank you two uncles." Lin Yanniang came back to her senses and hurriedly turned around and walked out.
It's just that when I walked outside the post station, I couldn't help but turn around and stare at the letter basket again, thinking a little cranky in my heart.
These letters are just like that?
What if I lose it?
Will it be sent today?
How long does it take to send it to friends in Cloud Sanguan?
When she saw the sentry looking at her, she immediately turned her gaze away, pretending that she had just swept it unintentionally, and did not dare to stop any longer, and hurried back.
Go back to the place where you were separated from your father just now, and then turn to the grain store.
There was a group of people gathered in front of the grain store, all of whom were ordinary people waiting to buy grain, as well as small servants and stewards of large families.
Lin Yanniang didn't look much, only found her father's side.
"Done?" Lin Ping'an turned around and glanced at the big girl up and down first, and there was no fight, so he smiled peacefully.
The big girl is a violent temper, although she wears men's clothes, but she still knows that it is a little girl, and she went to send a letter by herself just now, for fear of conflict with people on the road.
Now that the man has returned from his work, he has a better understanding of the price of food.
Immediately, he walked to the rice warehouse and asked for a hundred catties of rice.
It's just that it's divided into two bags, and the rice bag in the grain line is not what you want casually, and one hundred catties of rice will be given, but it will cost two pennies more to divide two bags.
Lin Ping'an didn't care about these two dollars, and only shouted: "A bag of twenty catties, a bag of eighty catties." ”
When the guy packed the rice and sealed the bag with a thick needle, Lin Yanniang had already vacated the back basket, put the twenty catties of rice into it, and then put the small bag of food and embroidered cloth and embroidery next to it.
The remaining eighty catties were carried by Lin Ping'an on his shoulders.
If Lin Ping'an wasn't lame, where would he need this? Two hundred catties is a trivial matter.
But now, although it is troublesome to carry eighty pounds on crutches, it is not heavy.
I bought another twenty catties of salt, put it in the back basket, two cans of sauce and cool, and Lin Yanniang carried the hemp rope tied to the jar.
Lin Ping'an has settled the money, and there are few children left, all of which are handed over to Lin Yanniang, and they will pay the fare in a while.
The father and daughter went out of the grain store, and they didn't wander around the streets, planning to go directly to the town to wait for the donkey cart, and then eat the nest on the donkey cart.
When they arrived in the town, they went up the mountain, walked around for a while and went their own way, and by this time it was almost noon when they walked back, and when they got home, it was afternoon.
When passing by a restaurant, Lin Yanniang subconsciously looked up, the Gaopeng restaurant was the place where the lobby brother worked.
Just thinking like this, suddenly a guy sent a guest out, and out of the corner of his eye, his eyes flashed.
Lin Ping'an and Lin Yanniang had just walked through Gaopeng Restaurant and were more than a dozen steps away.
The guy has already run over.
"Second uncle!"
"Learning?" Lin Ping'an heard that the voice was a little familiar, turned around and looked at it with a surprised gaze, looking at the offspring who ran over, and couldn't help but smile.
"Second uncle, you ...... Buying food, are you going to go back? Lin Xueshan greeted with a smile and glanced at Lin Yanniang again.
"Brother Lobby." Lin Yanniang carried things on her back and carried a jar in her hand, and she didn't salute, but just smiled and said hello.
The next life in front of him is Lin Xueshan, the eldest son of the big house, Lin Jiang's family won the man in one fell swoop after entering the door, and since then his position has been stable and arrogant, and he has been stepping on the second room for many years.
Obviously, Lin Jiang's family gave birth to a son, and later gave birth to three daughters in a row, and his status has never wavered excessively, and he has not been bullied by the old lady.
As for her mother, because of her husband, she was a daughter, even if she gave birth to two sons later, she was never favored by the old lady.
Sometimes it's really hard to say about fate.
Lin Yanniang looked at this cousin, she was in a complicated mood for a while, she didn't say much, and it was impossible for her sister to see her brother's enthusiasm.
After all, Lin Jiang's shrew gained power because of this son, but her mother was trampled on because she gave birth to her.
It became a habit to step on it, and it wasn't until she grew up that she once held a knife to kill Lin Jiang's family, and this shrew-like oppression stopped.
"Second uncle, wait a while, I have something to help me take home." After Lin Xueshan came over and called the second uncle, he immediately said.
They were all poor family members, and there were not so many unobtrusive polite greetings, so Lin Xueshan hurriedly ran back to the restaurant.
After a while, he ran out of the side door, holding two lotus leaf bags in his hands.
"This elbow was ordered by the guest just now and didn't eat much, we stayed as buddies and planned to add food, I just said good things to everyone, let me take it home."
"Second uncle, help me take it back to be filial to my grandparents, and this...... Sauce pig's trotters, my mother's favorite food, only got two, trouble to help me get back. ”
Lin Xueshan explained, and under Lin Yanniang's calm face, he put it in the back basket.
"It's hard second uncle, and there are ...... Yan Niang. Lin Xueshan saluted Lin Ping'an with a fist, and glanced at Lin Yanniang with a smile.
"One elbow, two pig's trotters, my cousin's bag, I'll just take it like this, and my cousin will come back after something happens, if the eldest aunt thinks about anything ugly, I hope my cousin will make it clear to her."
Lin Yanniang looked at Lin Xueshan, but she said the ugly words first.
"Yan Niang." Lin Xueshan's expression was stunned, and then he looked at her with a sinking face.
"I know my mother is a little arrogant, but she is your uncle, today I asked you to bring something back, and the second uncle is present, what is the accounting?"
"It's all a family, don't talk so badly." This girl is so fierce, so she always makes trouble with the hot uncle.
Of course, he knows what kind of person his mother is, but his cousin, as a girl, can't he back down?
"Hehe, my cousin just needs to know what's going on." Lin Yanniang did not compromise and sneered self-deprecatingly.
"I'm just afraid that we will kindly bring something for my cousin along the way, but instead we will be scolded and questioned, and it is not good to be suspected of stealing and eating a pig from your family halfway."
Lin Xueshan was choked by what he said, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, Yan Niang, don't be angry with your brother, it's not easy for him to work in the town and go home, and don't talk about things at home to make him worry."
Lin Ping'an hurriedly played a round on the side, and also glanced at Lin Xueshan.
"You go back quickly, don't let the boss say you, we'll go to the town to wait for the car, and I'll send you back to the village first."
Lin Xueshan had this intention to send food home, but he turned over his filial piety, and they were just on the way.
