Chapter 22 Bought to abandon his sincerity
In the past few days when Fang was busy investigating the case, Shi Nian bought a textile machine and learned weaving from Xue's in order to save some rouge gouache money for himself. Every time Fang You went home, he could see Shi Nian weaving carefully at home.
"What? It's only been back for a few days, why are you going out again? Xue Shi took Fang You's hand and said reluctantly.
"Ayu, where are you going this time?" Shi Nian walked over from the loom and asked.
"Fengping County, I'm going to investigate a case in private." Fang Yu said to the two.
"Can't you just go to someone else?" Xue said.
"Auntie, I'm the general commander now, and there are some things that must be done." Fang Yu comforted.
"How long are you going? I've just finished weaving a piece of cloth and I'm going to make you a dress to take with you before I leave. Shi Nian said.
"No need, you can keep this cloth for yourself to buy some things you need, and I'll just bring two old clothes." Fang You said with a smile.
The two knew that Fang You was stubborn and would not change her mind at will when decided, so they didn't say anything anymore, but just advised her to take care of her body.
The next day, Fang You packed his things and prepared to leave home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wei Qinghuan standing at the door waiting for her.
"Big ......" Fang You was stunned for a moment, and wanted to salute Wei Qinghuan, but was interrupted by him, "Big Sun, carry such a heavy burden, give it to me." Wei Qinghuan said and snatched the burden from her hand.
"This is ......" Xue and Shi Nian looked at Wei Qinghuan with puzzled expressions.
Fang You was still hesitating how to answer, when he heard Wei Qinghuan say, "I was sent by the Cheng Ling Division to assist General Fang Ling. ”
Xue Shi and Shi Nian greeted Wei Qinghuan at this time, and Xue Shi smiled: "Then please take care of our Ayu." ”
"Don't worry." Wei Qinghuan smiled politely at her.
"I've got the carriage ready." Wei Qinghuan lowered his head as he walked.
"My lord, I didn't say I wanted to walk with you." Fang You said and snatched the burden from Wei Qinghuan's hand.
Wei Qinghuan snatched it up again, "You agreed that day, you can't go back." ”
"When did I say I went with you?" Fang Yu dragged the burden and did not let go.
Wei Qinghuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and his face was sloppy, "What I asked you that day was to let you go with me." ”
"You ......" Fang You didn't expect this dignified Dali Siqing to be such a scoundrel. But in the end, why are you still angry with him these days? Forget it, don't think about it, take it one step at a time.
Shi Nian took the woven cloth and came to a cloth village, where he was discussing the price with the shopkeeper. A woman dressed in a begonia flower pattern walked in with a maidservant, and Shi Nian, the shopkeeper, hurriedly greeted her. Shi Nian's eyes lit up when she saw the begonia flowers on her skirt, and the cloth she brought today was also woven with begonia flowers.
"Purple girl, why did you come in person, what kind of cloth do you want, you send a message, I will send someone to send it to you." The shopkeeper said flatteringly.
"Girl, it's really fate!" Shi Nian held the cloth she had knitted, walked up to Zi Miaotang, and looked at the begonia flower on her skirt, "The fabric I want to sell today is also woven with begonia flowers." ”
Zi Miaotang looked at the cloth in Shi Nian's hand and knew what she meant, so he smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I've always worn the fabric here from the shopkeeper, and I'm not used to wearing anything else." ”
"Do you hear me, let's go." The shopkeeper saw that the deal couldn't be done, and wanted to rob the business, so he pushed her out the door.
Shi Nian didn't stand firm on his feet, fell down, and hit his head on the threshold.
Zi Miaotang was so frightened that she stood aside. The shopkeeper helped Shi Nian up, and when he saw that she was fine, he said confidently, "What's the matter?" Still want to touch porcelain? ”
Shi Nian was angry and aggrieved, tears flowed down his face, "It's obvious that you pushed me!" ”
"That's because you didn't stand firm, and the Purple Girl is really watching it here." The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly. Zi Miaotang nodded as if she hadn't gotten out of her panic yet.
Shi Nian originally just wanted to sell the cloth in exchange for some silver, but she didn't expect that the cloth was not sold, but was bullied, she suddenly didn't know where she got the courage, and said loudly: "You two have a good relationship, of course you cover each other." My friend is the chief commander of the Command Division, and I'll go to her when the time comes, and see what you have to say!" With that, he was going out to the Commander's Division.
The shopkeeper only thought that she was scaring people with some nonsense, so he rolled his eyes and ignored Shi Nian. Zi Miaotang stopped Shi Nian behind him, "Wait! You just said that your friend is the chief commander of the Commander-in-Chief? ”
Shi Nian thought she was scared, turned around, and mocked: "Do you want to regret it now?" ”
"I didn't see it clearly just now, and I ask the girl to forgive me. However, if what you have just said is true, girl, I will not only buy your cloth today, but I will buy it from you in the future. After speaking, Zi Miaotang signaled to the maid behind her, and the maid took the cloth in Shi Nian's hand, took out a silver ingot from her purse, and stuffed it into Shi Nian.
"Hey, Purple Girl......" The shopkeeper listened to Zi Miaotang's words and said anxiously.
Zi Miaotang ignored him and asked Fang You to go out. The two walked to a teahouse, and Zi Miaotang spoke: "You just said that your friend is the chief commander of the Cheng Ling Division, but her name is Fang You?" ”
"You know her?" Shi Nian knew at this time that she wanted to ask her third sister about her.
"I've met her before, and I've bandaged her wounds? I wonder how her injuries are now? Zi Miaotang smiled slightly and said.
"It's already been good, thank you for remembering." It turned out that she was concerned about the third sister's injury, but why did the third sister never talk to them about this person?
Zi Miaotang nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment, she asked again, "I don't know where she lives now?" ”
"What are you asking for?" Shi Nian said vigilantly.
Zi Miaotang smiled, "It's just that the last time I saw it, I felt very close and wanted to visit." ”
"Then there is no need, she is not at home recently." Shi Nian said.
"Do you live together?" Zi Miaotang asked.
"Yes, she recently went to Fengping County, so you don't need it." Shi Nian's mouth was unobstructed.
Zi Miaotang's eyes sank, and she wrung the handkerchief in her hand, "Fengping County? Then, she put away her smile and said to Shi Nian: "Are you short of money?" ”
Shi Nian didn't know that she would suddenly ask herself this, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded, she was indeed very short of money, Bao Rui Zhai's rouge gouache and Lang Fu Fang's new clothes were not a small expense for her.
Zi Miaotang looked at it, smiled again, and said: "If you do something for me, I will buy your cloth in the future, the price is set by you, and I will pay double." ”
Shi Nian grew her mouth, she hadn't seen a single ingot of silver since she came out of the Falling Moon Tower, and now this rich girl from a rich family who came from nowhere not only bought her cloth with a pengot of silver, but also had to pay double the price to buy her cloth in the future, is she going to live the days of squandering in Shifu again?
"How?" Zi Miaotang said.
"What's the matter, you say it first?" Shi Nian calmed down and asked.
"I want you to help me keep an eye on Fang You, and every time she meets or goes out, you have to tell me." Zi Miaotang said in a low voice.
"What do you say? When pigs fly. Shi Nian stood up and refused.
Zi Miaotang looked at Fang You for a while and stood up, and said to the maid behind him with a smile, "Ah Rong, return the cloth to this girl." ”
The maid handed the cloth to Shi Nian. Shi Nian glanced at it and took it hesitantly.
"Girl, the ingot ...... silver," the maid said to Shi Nian.
Shi Nian put the cloth on the table, stretched his hand into his sleeve, touched it for a long time, looked at Zi Miaotang, and then looked at the cloth in front of him.
"Girl?" The maid came again.
"I promise you." Shi Nian lowered his head and closed his eyes and said, holding the ingot of silver tightly in his hand.
Zi Miaotang said with a smile: "The girl is a person who will weigh the pros and cons. ”
In the middle of the day, a modest carriage staggered out of the city.
"My lord, do you really not have an entourage?" Fang You lifted the curtain and looked at Wei Qinghuan's back.
"Yes, do you have to bring a large team of people when you go out to investigate the case in private?" Wei Qinghuan drove the carriage and said casually.
Fang You lowered the curtain, but why did he have to go with him? Maybe she knows the answer.
The two of them rode in a carriage, and it was close to evening, and they had not yet arrived at the post station. Fang You was a little worried: "My lord, it's getting dark......"
Wei Qinghuan pulled the reins, stopped the carriage steadily, bent down into the sedan chair, and looked helpless, "Alas, yes, then we have to rest here for one night." ”
Fang You subconsciously blocked the sword in front of him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Wei sneered, "It's not your fault. ”
Fang You put down the sword on his chest, stared at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "What do you blame me?" ”
"I'm afraid you're sitting upside down, so I'll move the carriage slower than I do, otherwise I'll be at the inn in front by now." Wei Qinghuan deliberately looked like he blamed Fang You.
Fang You looked at his appearance and knew that he was doing this on purpose, but he still pretended not to understand, and was about to get out of the car, "Then I'll get out of the car and walk by myself." Wei Qinghuan thought that she was really going to get out of the car, so she took a step forward in a hurry and bumped into Fang You.
"Oops." Fang You covered his sore forehead, his face crimson.
"Are you alright, does it hurt?" Wei Qinghuan asked in a panic.
Fang You turned his body to the side, "No...... It's okay. Wei Qinghuan looked at her shy appearance, and got out of the car with a smile.
When Fang You turned around, there was no longer Wei Qinghuan in the sedan car, and the carriage slowly moved again.
Fang You secretly lifted the curtain of the car and observed Wei Qinghuan with the little remaining light of the sun.
"If you're sleepy, sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get to the inn." Wei Qinghuan suddenly turned his head, and the other party said.
Fang You hurriedly lowered the curtain, his heart pounded, and replied, "Okay......"
Fang You hugged the burden and put his chin on the burden, his eyes revealing shyness and joy that could not be hidden. Wei Qinghuan still drove the carriage very slowly, and Fang Yu closed his eyes in the swaying and cranky.
As soon as the moon showed its outline, Wei Qinghuan parked the car steadily in front of the inn. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Fang You's sleeping face, swallowed the voice that was about to shout, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
