Chapter 168: Finding Out the News
"Manzi, what do you need if you want to travel far away in this weather?"
On the one hand, he wanted to divert the attention of the people in the store from himself, and on the other hand, he really wanted to learn something from these natives.
"What's the matter, you're going out?"
He Man stood outside and didn't come in, because his eyes were still looking at the business of the shop on the other side, but he asked extremely naturally.
After all, he has already seen nursery rhymes go out with their families to play, and now when he hears nursery rhymes ask, he immediately thinks that nursery rhymes may be going out to play.
Nursery rhyme smiled.
"I will definitely go out if I have the chance, but this time it is not our family who goes out, it is Ah Qing who wants to go out with Mr. Song."
"To the capital?"
He Man came to the spirit, he was originally a loving character, and now I heard that Ah Qing was going to the capital, which was the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, his wish in this life was to be able to go once in his lifetime, and he would be able to tell his children and grandchildren in the future, how do you think it is a face-saving thing.
He said with envy.
"Ah Qing's life is really good."
The nursery rhyme smiled lightly, waiting for He Man to speak.
He Man sighed with emotion After reading it, he became serious.
"If you want to go to the capital, the waterway will be much faster, but I heard that the weather in the north is much colder than ours, and I don't know if the water will freeze at that time." As he said this, he scratched his head.
"Sister-in-law, I really don't know about this, but Mr. Song is a scholar, I think it will be better to come to his side, Ah Qing is his apprentice, how can he not let Ah Qing suffer on the way."
This is not wrong, since he can't get an answer, the nursery rhyme is not angry, but is looking forward to Chen Xuan's return.
Qin Yu'er on the side heard that Chen Qing was going to the capital!
What is the origin of Mr. Song, hmph, I don't know what kind of good luck he has taken, he went to the capital so easily, but his eldest brother has not been able to go until now.
When Chen Xuan arrived at the dock, he was just in time to eat here.
The nursery rhyme served him a bowl of rice.
"How?"
Everyone at the table looked at him.
Chen Xuan took the rice bowl and smiled.
"Mr. Song said, we don't have to worry about it, he went to arrange everything on his side, but this time when he arrived in the capital, the time for Ah Qing's return has not yet been decided."
"That's right."
Nursery rhyme frowned, Ah Qing is still a teenager, just left the people in the house and followed the master thousands of miles away?
"Don't worry."
Chen Xuan saw the worry in the nursery rhyme's heart and comforted.
"Mr. Song will take care of Ah Qing."
The nursery rhyme looked at Chen Xuan a little speechlessly, men are big-hearted, if she remembers correctly, there are no women in Mr. Song's house, and men are not so careful when they take care of men, but they just want to be able to go to the capital with Mr. Song, that is also an opportunity, so she silently shut up and didn't speak.
Qin Yu'er's eyes rolled, and she asked as if unintentionally.
"Senior brother, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, why does Mr. Song want to take Ah Qing to the capital?"
Tong Yu immediately looked at Qin Yu'er, she glanced at Chen Xuan again, and said before him.
"We don't know about this, Mr. Song is Ah Qing's master, and he won't harm Ah Qing after all."
Chen Xuan nodded.
When Qin Yu'er got such a vague answer, she was not happy in her heart, so she could only say dryly.
"Yes, since I'm going to travel far away, I'll go back and ask my father, he often walks around outside, and maybe he knows some things to pay attention to."
These words reminded Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, "I'll go to the master's side in the afternoon." ”
Qin Yu'er saw that Chen Xuan immediately said that she was going to her house, and opened her mouth, wanting to say that they were together, but she didn't say it in the nursery rhyme's smiling eyes.
However, Qin Yu'er got off work early, and by the time she hurried home, Chen Xuan had already left.
Yang Wenmei saw that as soon as Qin Yu'er came back, she immediately grabbed her.
"Chen Qing's sick seedling is really going to the capital?"
Qin Yu'er nodded, with some disdain on her face.
"Said that his master was going to take him."
Yang Wenmei looked inside the house, pulled Qin Yu'er to her room, closed the doors and windows, and then whispered.
"What is the origin of Master Chen Qing, who still wants to go to the capital? Your eldest brother hasn't been to the capital yet. ”
Qin Yu'er pursed her lips, listening to her mother's mention of her eldest brother, she knew in her heart that her eldest brother's status in her mother's heart was much higher than hers, and said a little uncomfortably.
"How do I know?"
"Aren't you with them every day, and you don't hear about these things?"
Yang Wenmei looked at Qin Yu'er with some disbelief in her eyes.
Qin Yu'er was a little angry, turned her head and snorted coldly.
"Mother, do you think your daughter is very popular over there, you don't know that the nursery rhyme is a cheap woman, she looks the same way in front of outsiders, and she looks another way when she faces me, if it weren't for being able to get close to my brother, I wouldn't want to suffer from this idleness."
Yang Wenmei saw her daughter like this, and she was not harsh, so she comforted her a few words, and her eyes flashed with light.
"Hmph, Jiang's dog, when others don't know what she looks like, when she scolded Chen Xuan's daughter-in-law in the past, she could say what kind of ugly words, but now she can't wait to go up and tightly hold the nursery rhyme's legs, and I don't see if people have put her in their eyes."
Zhu walked into the courtyard in a broken way, and just saw Zhu Chengping coming out of the house, and immediately had a smile on his face.
"Son, why did you come out on such a cold day?"
As he spoke, he immediately pulled him into the house.
Zhu Chengping sighed in his heart and followed her in, but he also heard the words she had read before.
"Lady, are you at the corner of Jiang's mouth again?"
Zhu's action of pouring water paused, and his face immediately became flat.
"It's not that Jiang family, when she saw me going out, she was talking about the Chen family in my ear, I knew that she was envious that I had such an excellent son as you, so she was looking for my bad luck."
Zhu Chengping didn't put the Jiang family in his eyes at all, but when he listened to the Chen family, his eyes changed.
"The Chen family? What happened to the Chen family? ”
Zhu Shi looked at his son's expression, thinking that his excellent son had never been to the capital until now, how did he know that the Chen family's little sick seedlings were able to go to the capital before he was admitted to the Tongsheng, and she was really a little panicked in her heart.
"The people in the village are chattering, saying that it is the little sick son of the Chen family, and that they are going to follow his master to the capital."
Zhu Chengping's eyes froze, and the hand on his knee was also tight.
"To the capital?"
Zhu looked at his son's changed face, swallowed his saliva, and spoke in a quieter voice.
"Hmm."
Zhu Chengping stared at Zhu.
"What are you doing in the capital?"
Zhu thought about it, and didn't listen to Jiang's shrew say what Chen Qing was doing in the capital, so she shook her head.
Zhu Chengping retracted his gaze, his eyes were rolling with emotion, the Chinese New Year, Mr. Song is going to take Chen Qing to the capital, it seems that he really loves Chen Qing very much, the capital is a place that all students yearn for, Chen Qing, a person who has only been able to read and write for a long time, was able to go to the capital, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Zhu Shi looked a little worried on the side, and hurriedly comforted.
"Son, I don't know if this matter is true, besides, you are a talented man, wait until a few years later, you will be able to go to the capital."
Imagining that his son would be able to become an official in the future, Zhu smiled again.
It's just that Zhu Chengping didn't think so, he knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and he didn't say hello to Zhu, so he ran out directly.
Zhu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to stop Zhu Chengping, but the person had already run away.
After Zhu Chengping rushed out of the courtyard, he ran to the door of Chen's house in one breath, he gasped heavily, staring at the gate of Chen's house.
He lost his mind for a moment, and in his memory it should have been a very desolate place, but at this time, he saw that there was some solemnity, and there was still a sound of talking in the courtyard, he stepped forward step by step, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly a few times.
"Xiaolan seems to be knocking on the door outside, you go and take a look."
Chen Lan heard this, and ran out quickly.
Zhu Chengping looked at Chen Lan and was stunned for a moment, when did the Chen family have such a person?
"Who are you looking for?"
Chen Lan saw that Zhu Chengping was dressed as a scholar, but asked politely.
Zhu Chengping opened his mouth, and soon a decent smile appeared on his face.
"I'm looking for Chen Qing, is he at home?"
"Looking for the second master, the second master followed the uncle to the town in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet."
Uncle, second master?
Zhu Chengping's mind was spinning rapidly, is this girl in front of him a descendant of the Chen family? The bottom of my heart suffered another shock, and the Chen family even bought someone!
Chen Lan saw Zhu Chengping, whose expression became a little weird, and she also felt that this person was a little inexplicable, and reminded.
"This son, why don't you come over to find the second master tomorrow, when they come back tonight, I'll talk to the second master."
Zhu Chengping nodded, turned around and left.
Chen Lan frowned, only feeling that this person was very strange.
"Xiaolan, who is it?"
Chen Lan closed the door and smiled, "Old lady, that person said he was looking for the second master, oops, that person didn't leave a name!" ”
When Yun Niang heard this, she stopped her.
"If that person sincerely wants to find A-Qing, he should come back tomorrow, you run out now, and the person has already gone away."
Chen Lan listened to Yun Niang's words, so she gave up and didn't go out.
