My father didn't prepare a birthday gift for the wife of the owner of Tu Zhuang, but just asked me to bring a letter. Wu Zhen was a little uneasy, and when he was about to sleep, he asked, "It's not appropriate for us to go empty-handed like this, right?" ”

I looked at Yuanling, which was getting closer and closer in front of me, and said with a smile: "Then get off the boat and buy some longevity noodles and peaches or something, this town doesn't seem to be small—strange, why did my father say that this is a small place?" ”

"Oh, in the eyes of my father-in-law, I'm afraid that the capital is also a small place." Wu Zhen said: "Besides, my father-in-law hasn't been down the mountain for a long time, and this place was a small place before, but after a few years, it will become prosperous." ”

Wu Zhen glanced behind him: "That boat has been following us. ”

When I looked back, it looked ordinary, nothing peculiar.

"The river is not ours, can we still let people go?"

That being said, at the bend in the river, the boat had already turned the corner and was about to overtake the front, but I don't know why, it was stuck there and didn't move, or our boat passed first.

It's kind of interesting.

What's on board? Rich? Hmm, or colored?

As for the color, we wore men's clothes, and I combed my two locks of hair low, and my cheeks covered most of the sides, so I couldn't see anything until I looked closely. It's even more ridiculous to talk about wealth, Wu Zhen and I don't have much money combined, just some winding expenses.

The big boat in front of it took a spot, and the small boats behind couldn't dock and were huddled together on the river. The people on that boat were moving things and getting off the boat, shouting five and drinking, and the movement was really not small. Some of the boxes were filled with colorful clothes or colored cloth, and they were so full that when they were carried from the ship, they suddenly opened their mouths and spread out, and the contents rolled to the ground. The people on the boat were scolding and anxious. Mess.

"Really, it's going to take half a day." Wu Zhen was anxious, and probed his head to look at the shore: "If it's night, I'll go ashore by myself, but it's daytime." ”

"Have you packed your things? Don't pull anything down. ”

"I cleaned it up early in the morning, don't worry, I can't lose it."

My gaze fell on the shore, and my father had once said that the willows here were peculiar, and the leaves were a deep smoky purple. I didn't believe it when I heard it, but I had seen both green and red willows. Ziliu has never seen it.

Looking at it from a distance, there was a purple feeling like smoke in the deep shades of green.

My father didn't coax me, when I went back. Find a way to break a branch and take it away, maybe you can plant it alive.

"Wu Ning, let's go."

"Okay."

Wu Zhen walked in front, the springboard turned three times, and he walked staggeringly. The wood creaked.

I sensed that someone was watching us, my instincts were sharp, and the gaze was burning and meaningless.

Wu Zhen stepped on the ground and turned around to help me.

I turned my head to see the boat that had been following us all along. There was a man standing in the bow of the boat, who was standing with his back to the light, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Wu Zhen followed my gaze. frowned: "It's really annoying, how can there be such a staring at people, let's go." ”

I put my hat on and walked with her. The docks were full of people, on board. When you get off the boat, this kind of anxiety and hectic can easily make people feel bored. We found a shop in town. I went in and said I wanted to buy a longevity peach. The boss didn't wait for us to speak, so he smiled, and the smile was extremely treacherous: "The two little brothers also went to Tujiazhuang to pay tribute to Mrs. Tu's birthday?" ”

His eyes looked us up and down, as if the two of us wanted to eat white food and fight the autumn breeze. But think about it, if relatives and friends come to pay their respects, how can there be a reason to buy Shou Tao Shou noodles? Only those who want to eat mixed rice when they see big families doing red and white things will do this. I have heard of people taking advantage of other people's homes to do white things, go in empty-handed and kowtow a few times and cry twice, not to mention the food for three days, and also mix two bodies of filial piety clothes and two pairs of shoes, which can be called a good deal without any profits.

"Alright, do you have any here? No more of us going to another house. ”

"Yes, yes!" Although the shopkeeper laughed annoyingly, there was indeed goods in the shop.

"You two, this is five taels of silver, with a mahogany box, you see the carvings on this box, take it out is the most decent, two layers up and down, the bottom is Shou Mian, the top is Shou Tao, this peach is also the best. This kind is a tael of silver, you see, the top cover is a crane standing on a pine branch, and it is also generous. There is also a kind of scattered, which is cheap. Which one do you want? ”

Wu Zhen rolled his eyes: "Is this box mahogany?" You're a hillbilly for us. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How can it?" You see, what can this not be mahogany? ”

If any wood with red paint on it is called mahogany, then the mahogany is too worthless.

I smiled, pointed to the five-tael and said, "Are you selling boxes or peaches?" ”

The boss had to say again, and one of the people behind us said, "I bought it." ”

It's really wronged.

Wu Zhen and I turned our heads to look at this master who was willing to spend money in vain, this person was wearing a blue cloth eight-gown shirt, medium stature, particularly thick black eyebrows, and high eyebrow bones, so that his eyes were gloomy, although he smiled, he also made people feel fierce.

He took out the money, and the shopkeeper smiled and gave him the big suitcase.

But he didn't answer, and pointed at me: "Give it to this one." ”

The shopkeeper said, "Give it to these two." ”

Wu Zhen made a blank face: "We don't want it." Who knows you, you ......"

I stopped her from saying anything more.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't know each other, so we won't be punished."

"Once born, twice matured, isn't this an acquaintance? The two of you are also going to Tujiazhuang? I go down and am just on the same road. He waved his hand: "Under the surname Lei, the cursive word Qishan, I don't know what the two of you call it?" ”

Thunder...... Kaishan?

Lei Fen and Lei Fang's grandfather?

I was in a trance for a moment, and Wu Zhen had already pulled me out of the pastry shop.

"Ignore him, he has nothing to do, he is either a traitor or a thief. Was he the one who was watching us on the boat behind just now? ”

I fixed, "I didn't look closely, it doesn't seem like it." ”

We entered another shop, Tujiazhuang's birthday feast is not known locally, Shou Tao Shou noodles are all over the street, it is not difficult to find. Paid. Wu Zhen carried the box. We thought that Tujiazhuang still had to find a way to arrive, but there was no need to worry about this, as long as we followed those who looked like people from other places to walk forward, half an hour, out of the town to find Tujiazhuang, sure enough, as my father said, the highest pomp and grandeur of the lintel is Tujiazhuang, Wu Zhen rubbed his eyes, looked at it for a while before saying: "Good boy, this is the same as a small city." Look at the torii! ”

I pulled her, and Wu Zhen lowered his voice: "I said, where did his family get so much money?" and he is not an official. It's ...... such a big show."

I squeezed her hand again and smiled at the servant who greeted her, but he ignored us and walked past us and greeted the man behind us with a smile.

Wu Zhen looked back in surprise. I thought it was a regular customer that Ding knew, but when I heard the greeting, I didn't know it. However, the man who came behind was wearing a silk shirt and a sword, and he looked dignified and noble, so he was naturally thinner and smaller than the two of us.

Wu Zhen was so angry that he wanted to find him a theory, so I pulled her. handed Shou Tao to the person who registered, and when he heard that it was Shou Tao, he pointed impatiently to the back: "Put it over there yourself." "It seems that we are really here to fight the autumn breeze and eat white food.

I'm not angry either. He was asked, "Who is in charge?" Can Tu Qiye be in the village? ”

He looked up at me, a little more serious than just now: "Are you looking for Tu Qiye?" What's the matter? ”

"Master Tu Zhuang has a letter addressed to his father, and his father has also replied to the letter, and there are still things to give to Tu Qiye."

The man looked at us again and asked, "I don't know my little brother's surname?" ”

"The surname is Wu."

The man beckoned behind him. A little guy ran over: "Brother Li, what are you ordering?" ”

"You go and tell the eldest brother. There was a man surnamed Wu who wanted to see the seventh master, saying that there was a letter from the owner. ”

We waited there, and after a while, the little guy came back: "The eldest brother said, the seventh master is busy now, please go to rest first, and wait for the seventh master to be free." ”

We waited a little longer, and then another guy came to greet us and take us in. Wu Zhen asked in a low voice: "Who is that Tu Qiye?" Is it the son or relative of the owner of Tu Zhuang? ”

"Neither." I whispered, "It's his apprentice." Father said that this person can't learn swords, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves and is exquisite, and he has come forward to do many things in Tujiazhuang. ”

"Then he's so snubbing us." Wu Zhen said angrily.

I don't blame her for being uneven, I also think it's quite confusing. Listening to his father's meaning, the owner of Tu Zhuang specially sent someone to send a letter to invite him, which was very important and hoped that he could appreciate his face. My father didn't want to come, so I let the two of us come, but everyone in Tujiazhuang has a pair of snobbish eyes, no matter who you are, you only recognize Luo Yi and not people.

No wonder my father refused to come, this kind of place is really not interesting.

The guest room was very narrow, with two beds, and there was not even tea on the table, and it was already noon, and no one came to inform the meal. Wu Zhen complained a few words, and I went out to find the teahouse, poured some hot water, and ate the snacks we brought ourselves. Wu Zhen was meditating cross-legged, and I was flipping through a miscellaneous book I bought on the road, when I heard someone laughing loudly outside: "Slack, slack, may I ask if the guests from the Wu family are in the house?" ”

Wu Zhen opened his eyes and took the work, I walked over and opened the door, a middle-aged man stood in front of the door, with a round face, thin eyes, and a smile, not at all like a person who practiced swords, but like a rich man who made money in harmony.

"Oh, how can you let a distinguished guest live in a place like this." The man turned around and reprimanded the subordinate a few words, then turned his face back, and smiled: "Please move to the east courtyard, there are all kinds of colors, and the subordinates are lazy and rude, please don't be surprised." I don't know which senior's letter to the tutor ......"

"You're polite, my father's surname is Wu, and my family lives in Guanghua Mountain's 100 yuan ......."

Tu Qi's expression suddenly became solemn: "Ling Zunmo is not a 100 yuan senior?" ”

"Exactly."

Tu Qi was busy talking with laughter, and was a little puzzled: "What kind of friendship is between the 100 yuan seniors and the family teacher, but the Wu seniors don't seem to have a son, only a daughter......

I nodded and said, "We've made it easier on the road." ”

Suddenly, he hurriedly said, "Oh, this is really...... They all blame me, and I was dizzy in the morning. There are many people in this outer courtyard, which is where the girl's family lives, hurry up and inform Madame, the young lady of the Wu senior's family has arrived! ”

Wu Zhen said in the back: "What to change, it's good here." ”

Tu Qi seemed to have noticed that there was another person in the room and asked, "Who is this ......?"

He may have regarded Wu Zhen as my subordinate just now.

"This is my father's daughter, my sister."

Tu Qi's diligence didn't make Wu Zhen's face look good, even if she changed the guest room and lived in a delicate and luxurious other residence, she couldn't be happy. I handed my father's reply to Tu Qi to bring with him, and he arranged for two maids to come and serve us. Both are twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, one is called Red Lotus and the other is called Purple Lotus.

A big maid came over and said, "Miss Wu, our wife invites the two of you over." ”
