Chapter 11: The Vixen (11)
Tang Qin's history is not good, but he occasionally came into contact with it when he was reading books in the library, and in Tang Qin's only memory, the ancient times were a very backward era, so Tang Qin couldn't imagine the prosperity and liveliness in Li Lanlan's mouth.
It was a little cold in the middle of the night, and the two sisters huddled together, looking at the peaceful sleeping faces of their daughters, Li Yang sighed silently.
took out the burden that had been protected by her on the road from the side of the carriage, and unwrapped it, it was the moon-white material.
Now she has made a new dress, which is already the best fabric she can buy in the town, but it is much worse than the popular moon brocade in the capital.
After staring at the clothes for a long time, knowing that Li Genshan had come to the front, Li Yang came back to his senses.
"Don't look at it, put it away!" Li Genshan sighed.
"Hmm!" Li Yang replied sullenly, and carefully wrapped the burden.
Since a few people were waiting outside the city gates, they entered the city early the next day as soon as the city gates opened.
At this time, there were already a lot of vendors shouting on the streets.
Li Yang instructed the two daughters not to show their heads out to take a look, so Li Lanlan and Tang Qin could only look outside through the gap in the curtains that were slightly blown by the wind.
The appearance of the Li family and his party did not cause much turmoil, but Li Yang and Li Genshan still chose a secluded road to a remote inn.
"Mother, aren't we going to my aunt's house? How to stay at the guest house? Tang Qin was puzzled.
"Let's settle in the inn first, and then come back when your father and I go to see your aunt!" Li Yang set up two rooms, the women lived together, and Li Xinliang and Li Genshan, father and son, lived together.
"You are not familiar with life here, don't go out and wander around, there will always be a chance to go outside to see in the future, don't rush this time!" Before going out, Li Yang instructed uneasily, "If someone comes to call the door, don't pay attention to those you don't know, your brother is in the next room, if there is something, call him." ”
"If I haven't come back for lunch, either you can ask Xiao Er to bring you some food, or let Xinliang go to the snack stall on the right hand outside the inn to buy some food." Li Yang held the hands of his two daughters, "I'll pick you up when my mother comes back!" ”
"Hmm!" The two obediently agreed.
Li Yang took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to Li Xinliang, and gave Tang Qin and Li Lanlan five copper plates respectively.
Through the upstairs window, the two watched Li Yang and Li Genshan leave, and watched their figures disappear around the corner before retracting their gaze.
"Sister, the capital is so big!" As far as you can see, there are rows of houses in sight, as if there is no end in sight.
"It's also very lively!" Li Lanlan was also happy, although she had always behaved very mature, stable and disgusting, but after all, she was still a young girl, and she was also very curious about new things.
"It would be nice to have a chance to visit the capital in the future!" Tang Qin thought so.
Here, Li Yang and Li Genshan walked familiarly, and Li Yang said with emotion, "After so many years, this place really hasn't changed at all!" ”
The two of them finally stopped near a large mansion and said, "Enter through the corner gate!" ”
Li Yang clenched the token in his hand and knocked on the door with some trepidation.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, and the guard was an old woman looking at her fifties.
"What's the matter with you?" Looking at the coarse linen clothes of the two of them, and the appearance that there was no valuable object on their bodies, the mother-in-law seemed a little lacking in interest.
"Excuse me, Mama Qin, we have something important!" Li Yang didn't see the contempt of the mother-in-law, and said very sincerely.
"Mama Qin is our princess's grandmother, how can I have time to see you?" The woman refused to help, but wanted to drive them both away.
"Just help me spread the word!" Li Yang was anxious, and then took out a piece of silver about two taels and stuffed it to her, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”
With the silver, it was easier to talk, and the woman smiled, "You wait, I'll give it a try!" ”
The woman closed the door again, twisted her waist and went to the inner room, where she saw her superior, Mama Li.
Mama Li was wearing a cyan skirt, her hair was coiled up, and she only had two hairpins that were not very outstanding.
"See Mama Qin?" Mama Li frowned, "What did you say?" ”
"They won't say it, they just say it's important."
"Well, go and bring them to me!" Mama Li waved her hand.
"Yes!"
Soon, the woman went back to the corner gate, but she only let Li Yang follow in, "The house is heavy, men are not allowed to enter at will, you wait at the door!" ”
"Then I'll go in first!" Li Yang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he could see Mama Qin.
It's just that Li Yang also knows in his heart that with Mama Qin's status in the mansion, he is afraid that it will take a lot of effort to meet her.
"Are you going to see Mama Qin?" Entering the house, Mama Li took the lead in speaking.
Li Yang's voice was a little familiar when he heard it, and when he looked up, his eyes suddenly widened, "Sister Yulian!" ”
Hearing Li Yang's call herself, Mama Li was stunned, her real name is Li Yulian, she used to be a second-class maid next to the princess, and after getting married, she became a housekeeper in the house.
"You are?" Mama Li didn't have time to see Li Yang's face clearly, and only after seeing it clearly did she show a surprised expression, "Yuhe? ”
"Sister Yulian!" When he met an acquaintance, Li Yang cried with joy, looking at Mama Li in front of him, he wanted to hug but didn't dare to hug him.
"Yuhe, where have you been all these years?" Mama Li didn't care about this, and hugged Li Yang in her arms, "When you suddenly disappeared from the house, no one would say anything about you, I thought something happened to you!" ”
"It's a long story!" Li Yang showed a bitter smile, "I will have the opportunity to explain to you in the future, Sister Yulian, I have something important to see Mama Qin." ”
"Good!" Mama Li agreed happily, "Come with me!" ”
Mama Qin is the princess's grandmother, she has been getting old over the years, and her health has not been very good, so the princess specially prepared a yard for her and was taken care of by someone.
"Mama Qin is also old, and I don't know if I still remember you!" When Mama Li thought of the past, she felt a little emotional.
"At the beginning, you and I were like sisters, and I was sad for a while when you left suddenly, and now I finally see you again, and I am very comforted in my heart." Mama Li said with emotion.
"I miss my sister too!" Li Yang's eyes were red.
"For the sake of you recognizing me at a glance today, I don't care about you!" Mama Li laughed and joked with Li Yang.
In a trance, the two of them had a feeling of going back to the past, but in the blink of an eye, they were both old.
"Mama, Mama Qin, please go in!" The girls who served Mama Qin were all carefully selected, and they were very respectful to Mama Li and Li Yang.
