Chapter 9: Xue Lan

Lin Yao turned around and was about to go upstairs, but suddenly found that the doctor who had just handed out the snack was standing at the table at the door, also looking at Lu Yunque who was walking away.

"You two know each other?" Lin Yao asked.

The doctor touched his head with a blush, and replied with a smile, "We are neighbors in the same place, and we can be considered to have grown up together."

Lin Yao suddenly smiled and said in a somewhat sassy tone, "Then you have some liking for this little lady of the Lin family?"

The doctor's face suddenly turned red when he heard this, and he stammered a little when he spoke, "Guest... Don't joke about it. With that, he hurried to the back kitchen.

Lin Yao looked at the doctor and felt a little funny, but he didn't seem to be able to laugh, so he pouted and went upstairs.

Lu Yunque walked on the road in the rain with snacks, and his heart was a little anxious.

Fu's family is in Qingyun County, which is two miles away from Yongxiu County, and the time when Lu Yunque walked up in the past has arrived.

It's just that when I went out today, it was just a little rain, so I didn't pay attention to it, I didn't expect the rain to get heavier and heavier, and I saw that my dress was going to get wet, and the merchants who transported the goods in the carriage of the two counties had already left when they had just signed a contract with Lin Jiaerlang, so I was afraid that I would be embarrassed when I got to the Fu family, and I would make a joke to A-Niang.

"Whose little lady is this? Such a heavy rain is still running outside. A low male voice sounded behind Lu Yunque.

Lu Yunque looked back and saw that three or four carriages pulling goods were ten steps behind him. It was raining heavily today, and the carriage was moving slowly, so I didn't notice the convoy behind me.

"The little lady gets out of the way, this horse is a little strong, don't accidentally hurt the little lady." The man in the carriage at the front shouted to Lu Yun, the man was wearing a robe, the rain and fog were a little difficult to see his face, and the voice was the one who shouted Lu Yunque at the beginning.

"Are you wagons for goods?" Lu Yunque asked loudly.

"Yes," the man replied.

"Where are you going? I'm in a hurry to go to Qingyun County, if you stop by, can you give me a ride? Lu Yunque asked expectantly.

"We don't go to Qingyun County, we are going to Dayun Town next to Qingyun County, but we can take the road in Qingyun County on the way back, and we can go to Qingyun County in about an hour and a half to see if the little lady is willing to join us." The man replied after a moment's thought.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you." Lu Yunque said excitedly.

"The wagons behind are all miscellaneous and not very clean, so sit in front of my carriage, girl, and hold on to the doors carefully." The man said to Lu Yunque.

Lu Yunque nodded, walked quickly to the man's car, handed the umbrella to the man, put his hands on the car, and sat up dexterously.

"The girl is so skilled." The man said with a smile.

Lu Yunque raised his head and smiled, reached out and took his umbrella, put it away and put it in front of the car door.

Seeing that Lu Yunque was sitting firmly, the man in the cloth drove the carriage forward slowly.

"Is there an urgent matter for the girl to go to Qingyun County? It rained so heavily and it rained. The man asked.

"An elder's 60th birthday, I rushed to celebrate, I went out early today, I didn't expect such a heavy rain to fall later." Lu Yunque scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"That's still a filial little lady, my name is Xue Lan, I'm a businessman, this is my team. This batch of goods was supposed to be shipped out tomorrow, but it was suddenly urgent, so I had to send it over in the rain. Xue Lan said with a smile.

"My surname is Lu, I am a local, and it is my luck to meet you today." Lu Yunque gave Xue Lan a thank you gift.

"You don't have to do any courtesy, you Central Plains people just love to pay attention to these false courtesies, it's just a trivial matter." Xue Lan waved his hand.

"Central Plains people?" Lu Yunque was a little puzzled.

Xue Lan smiled heartily, raised his hand and pushed the hat back, revealing his face.

Lu Yunque looked at the man in front of him and was a little stunned for a while, he always thought that this person was an elderly uncle, but he didn't expect it to be a handsome young man.

This person has a tall nose, deep eyes, and an angular face like a Hu person, but his facial features are soft and soft in the Central Plains, and his hair is braided into the common braid of Hu people, but he does not have the feeling of a foreign race, just like a Han and a Hu people are fused together, and it is impossible to determine which category they belong to.

"My father is from the Yi nationality outside the Yuyang Pass, and my mother is from the Han nationality, I have been doing business outside the customs before, and this is the first time I have received an order from the customs office." Xue Lan said with a smile.

"Oh.... Oh," Lu Yunque nodded a little sluggishly.

The two of them chatted about the recent business situation for a few more words and then stopped talking, the rain became heavier and heavier, and some of the splashes on the ground flew to the edge of Lu Yunque's skirt, and Lu Yunque lifted his legs up.

Xue Lan glanced at Lu Yunque, took out a free hand to take off the coat on his body and handed it over, "The splash is too big, I'm afraid it's a little dirty, the little lady should lift her legs up, it's okay to cover it with this coat." ”

After Lu Yunque thanked him, he took the robe, bent his legs on the carriage, and carefully covered it with the coat.

Xue Lan thought that Lu Yunque would have to twist like those little ladies in the Central Plains before, but he didn't expect it to be very crisp, and he also saved himself a few words, and for a while he felt that it was a little interesting to be a little lady.

After the carriage walked for an hour, it arrived at Dayun Town, Xue Lan organized people to unload the goods, and Lu Yunque stood under the eaves in front of the buyer's door with an umbrella and waited quietly.

Sitting in the car before, Lu Yunque didn't feel how tall and strong Xue Lan was, but now when he got out of the car, he found that he was at most on Xue Lan's chest, even if he stood among the tall carriers, Xue Lan was also the tallest one.

The goods were not much, and a few big men unloaded them in half an hour, and the host came out with a teapot and a stack of tea bowls, and handed them to the group one by one after pouring them full. "This is the ginger tea boiled by my wife, it rains heavily today, and I am tired of you sending this batch of goods over, drink ginger tea to go to the cold."

Xue Lan glanced at Lu Yunque in the corner, took a bowl of ginger tea and walked over, "The little lady of the Lu family should also take two sips, it's always good to warm up." He said that he handed the ginger tea bowl to Lu Yunque's eyes.

Lu Yunque didn't want to take it, but when he saw that the tea bowls were handed to him, he couldn't refuse again, so he took it with a smile.

Xue Lan saw that Lu Yunque took it, turned around and asked the master for another bowl, and stood with the bunch of men and drank it in a big gulp.

After drinking ginger tea, the convoy got up and left, strange to say, the dark clouds in the sky that were originally black and oppressive suddenly dispersed, and the bright sunlight came through, but the rain was not small at all.

Large droplets of water fell down with the sunlight shiningly, like glass beads brought in from outside the territory.

"In our hometown, this is called Jiyu, and it is said that it can bring blessings to people, which is extremely rare, and I don't think I will see it in the Central Plains today, which means that my Central Plains is my blessed land." Xue Lan said with a smile.

"That's not impossible, the Central Plains has a large number of people, a vast area, how many people who do business have made a fortune here, Xue Jialangjun is not an ordinary person at first glance, maybe he can really break out of a world in this Central Plains." Lu Yunque continued.

Xue Lan raised his head and laughed twice, "What you little lady said made me a little moved." ”

"No one can say what will happen after this, right?" When Lu Yunque saw that the morning was dawning, his heart also opened up a little, so he also said something funny.

The two of them chatted all the way, but they didn't feel bored, and it didn't take long to arrive in Qingyun Town.

Xue Lan jumped out of the carriage, walked to Lu Yunque's side, picked up the umbrella to help her open it, Lu Yunque jumped down lightly, took two packs of snacks, and took the umbrella from Xue Lan's hand.

"Thank you Xue Jialangjun today." Lu Yunque smiled and bowed his thanks.

"It's a trivial matter, the girl should hurry up and go to the elder's house, seeing that it's almost noon, don't pass by." Xue Lan returned the salute and got into the carriage again, waved his hand to the landing lark, and drove the carriage away.

Lu Yunque held the umbrella and walked towards the Fu family in a hurry, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the gate of the Fu family, he lowered his head and tidied up his clothes before walking over slowly.

"Yo, the lark is coming, come in, come in, it's raining so hard outside, don't get wet." An old woman at the door of Fu's house saw Lu Yunque at the door, and hurriedly ran over to take the umbrella and snacks in Lu Yunque's hand.

"Grandma Li is healthy, has the birthday banquet started?" Lu Yunque asked after detaining the old woman for a while.

"No, no, it's raining heavily today, the guests are late, the lord pushed the opening time back, and the gentlemen are now drinking tea and chatting in the lobby, your aunt is estimated to be in the back house, go, I'll take you to find her." The grandmother of the Li family took Lu Lark's hand and walked towards the back house.

"This batch of birthday gifts belongs to the master of the Lu family in Xiao Yunfang, carefully count them and write them down in a separate booklet." In a large room in the backyard, a woman was standing beside a pile of congratulatory gifts, carefully instructing the person with a pen and paper to record it.

The woman was wearing a dark cyan ribbed skirt with a short placket with flowers, a green cloud yarn on her arm, a falling horse bun combed on her head, and a finely made vermilion hairpin was inserted diagonally, looking dignified and magnificent.

"Auntie." When Lu Yunque saw the woman, he ran over excitedly.

The woman turned around in response, and when she saw Lu Yunque behind her, she also opened her hand excitedly and hugged Lu Yunque in her arms.

"When did you come here? Why don't you tell A-Niang in advance, A-Niang will pick you up. Li Ruyue took Lu Lark's hand and looked at her carefully, "My Lark has grown taller again, and it has become a good-looking little girl, Aunt Li, do you see it?" ”

"Yes, yes, this little girl looks like you, looking at the water and water." The mother-in-law of the Li family said with a smile on the side.

"That is, our lark has been a beauty embryo since he was a child." Li Ruyue said happily.

Li Ruyue didn't want to count the birthday gifts anymore when she saw that Lu Yunque was coming, and after instructing the personal maid in her room, she took Lu Yunque to the bedroom to talk.

asked about trivial things, such as eating well and sleeping well, Lu Yunque also answered carefully, and waited until the mother-in-law of the Li family came to remind the birthday banquet that the banquet had begun, and the two walked out of the door holding hands.
