Chapter 118: Exotic Spices
Hu Xianxian borrowed three hundred taels of silver from Guichongxu and bought a few old tiled houses outside the city. The house is not far from the third uncle's house, and Hu Okura and his wife and the third uncle are very happy. She finished moving before the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and wanted to have a good New Year.
Hu Xianxian asked Mudaner to live with his parents, and also asked him to go to school, and Mudaner was grateful. She said that she should actually thank him, and that her brother and sister could not stay with their parents for a long time, and he was helping them to fulfill their filial piety.
Hu Xianxian saw that the business of Erpang and Liang Huifen's smoked duck stall would still be successful, and he didn't worry about them anymore. After seeing them, he left a triangular yellow rune paper, saying that when he encountered danger, he held the rune paper and chanted Hu Xianxian's name. They didn't know what the talisman paper was for, but they carefully locked it in the cupboard.
Hu Xianxian didn't want Da Niu and Sanhua to stay in Hongbin Building to be wronged, and he couldn't think of where to let them settle down for a while.
Hu Xianxian was walking on the street and was thinking about this, when someone called out to her, "Miss Hu? Miss Hu ......"
She was just walking, and the man ran over and grabbed her, "Miss Hu? It's really you...... Why don't you ignore me? ”
Hu Xianxian was stunned for a moment, "Oh? Embolus? ”
The bolt said a little embarrassedly: "You ignore me, do you blame me for leaving Hongbin Building to help Young Master Mai do things?" ”
Only then did Hu Xianxian notice that there was a very heavenly restaurant in front of him, "How could it be?" That is the 'Yingxian Pavilion' opened by Young Master Mai? ”
"Well, yes. Go sit down, it just so happens that Young Master Mai and Miss Mai are also here. ”
Hu Xianxian walked with the bolt and asked him how the business was, and the bolt said that the business was fine, so she thought about letting Da Niu and Sanhua come here to work.
As soon as he entered the door, the bolt shouted: "Young Master Mai, Miss Mai, come and see, there is a distinguished guest coming." ”
Seeing that the hall was full of customers, Hu Xianxian asked the bolt to go about his work, and after asking Ming Maitaha and Manasha where they were, he went upstairs by himself.
Hu Xianxian was at the door of a small hall upstairs when he saw that the two brothers and sisters were talking with sad faces. She chuckled and said, "Why do you look unhappy when you see me?" ”
Maitaha looked up and saw that it was her, and her eyes lit up, "Immortal? But then he said gloomily, "How can I be upset to see you?" I'm anxious about the delivery of spices. ”
Manasha smiled and pulled Hu Xianxian to sit down, "You don't know how much my brother misses you. How do you get rid of the infestation and then don't say goodbye? ”
Hu Xianxian remembered what Cheng Haofeng said again, and her heart ached faintly, but she could quickly calm down. She smiled faintly, "I miss you too, but I have a lot to do." Young Master Mai, haven't you been transporting spices? Why are you so worried this time? ”
"I originally wanted to open a branch of Yingxian Pavilion, but Abba urged me to collect spices and asked me to leave on the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”
Hu Xianxian also frowned, "The first day of the new year? The day after tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, aren't you ready yet? Or are you afraid that when you cross Ling Mountain, you will encounter ice and snow blocking the mountain? ”
Manasha said, "It's ready." What's more, our caravan can climb the mountain smoothly even when the ice and snow cover the mountain. Abba said, "We have the favor of the goddess of Lingshan, and the goddess will protect us." My brother is worried about spices. ”
"Spices, not the spices of the past?"
Mataha handed Hu Xianxian something like a stone and a bone, "This is a spice." I've been just transporting it, and I haven't looked closely at what the spices that have been dug out of the mud by the sea look like. When loading yesterday, the pocket was broken and a few pieces of spice fell. When I looked at it, I always thought it wasn't a spice. ”
Hu Xianxian sniffed this thing, "It's a rich fragrance without ordinary spices, but it's not a stinky smell either." The taste is peculiar...... The aura that emanates is also peculiar......"
"This little piece of inconspicuous stuff exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, right?" ”
Hu Xianxian nodded, she remembered that Bai Huifeng's fourth senior sister, Ling Ruofeng, seemed to be Ling Shan Di Immortal. Is Ling Ruofeng the goddess of Lingshan as the Mai brothers and sisters said?
Hu Xianxian's heart jumped a few times for no reason, making her feel a strong sense of unease, "The Lingshan Priestess is very fond of the Mai family's caravan? ”
The Mai brothers and sisters nodded yes, and Hu Xianxian said, "Young Master Mai, you don't have to be suspicious, your father can't harm you." I have long heard that the scenery of Lingshan is majestic and magnificent, so I will go with you to open my eyes, how about it? ”
Metaha's mustache curled, "Come with us?" That's great. Xianxian, you're not lying to me, are you? ”
After Hu Xianxian replied to Metaha in the affirmative, the brother and sister were both happy, and they no longer worried about this strange spice.
Hu Xianxian talked about wanting Da Niu and Sanhua to help, and Maitaha agreed, and said that even if he left, let them come to find the bolt.
Hu Xianxian returned to her parents' residence outside the city, and called the third uncle, mud egg, plug, second fat, big cow, Sanhua, Liang Huifen and her son Gao Zhuang and other old friends, and spent a happy and lively New Year.
At the reunion banquet, the second fat man who had drunk too much asked Hu Xianxian with his tongue wide, "Miss...... You just let out Hongbin Building? ...... year We had such a hard time back then...... How can you give up? ”
Hu Xianxian added wine to Er Fat, and filled everyone with wine, "Let's eat and drink happily, don't mention these things." Hongbin Lou is my brother's, and he is the only son of the Hu family. ”
Sanhua pursed her lips and smiled, "We don't want you to compete with the young master for family property, we just think you have no decline, it's pitiful." Since that Cheng Haofeng wants to find you to cultivate, how can he leave you alone? ”
Hu Xianxian also laughed, and after a few "giggles", she said: "It's quite pitiful." But why do I want Cheng Hao's air pipe? Have you forgotten? I am a god, a god! I can go wherever I want, and I'm as carefree as I am. ”
Da Niu didn't cry and laugh with them, he only took a sip of wine and ate slowly. Hearing them talk about this, he said: "Cheng Daochang came to Hongbin Building on August 28 of the fifth year of the German Yuan Dynasty*, and today is the thirtieth day of the lunar month of the ninth year of the German Yuan Dynasty, which has been more than four years, and this day can pass really fast." ”
Hu Xianxian also said: "It's really fast, tomorrow is the first day of the first month of the tenth year of the German Yuan Dynasty." Tomorrow, I will be twenty-six years old...... Twenty-six years old......"
Sanhua smiled and patted Hu Xianxian's shoulder, "It's not full yet, you have to be twenty-six on the seventh day of the lunar month next year." Besides, you are a fairy, and you are not afraid of old age. I'm an old girl, I'm twenty-four, and no man is looking at me. I'm still a mortal, I can't stand old age......"
The third uncle and Hu Dacang and his wife went to rest after eating and drinking, and several of them said that they would keep the New Year until dawn, but they all fell asleep in a daze after the commotion until midnight.
The next morning, when family and friends were still asleep, Hu Xianxian did not say goodbye. She didn't want to hear them say goodbye, her heart was less turbulent, but she was still afraid of parting.
