Chapter 36 A Contract for the Sale and Purchase
There are constantly war reports coming from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone is running to tell each other, which is particularly exciting. Crazy stones and insects, Mu Lin, Shui Lin and others all showed their might and made a lot of great achievements.
I finally couldn't hold it anymore, so I took the 'guards' with me and went to find a cool word according to the latest battle report. In the towns along the road, there were many soldiers who were injured or poisoned in the process of clearing and suppressing, and were forced to stay and be treated on the spot. Because of the suddenness of the war, there was a lack of medical treatment and 'medicine', and there were not many doctors who knew how to heal Gu, and the situation of those soldiers who were poisoned by Gu was somewhat miserable.
I had to give up my initial hard work to 'tide', walking slowly all the way to heal the wounded, and there were many delays. By the time he arrived at the place mentioned in the intelligence, Liang Ci had already led the army to move.
I knew that I would not be able to catch up, so I was no longer in a hurry, so I inquired all the way about their march routes, and healed the soldiers who had stayed nearby to recuperate. Because of the irregular location, I could not receive the letters sent by Liang Ci, and I lost contact, so I could only ask those soldiers about the history of the bandits and anecdotes about Liang Ci and the Wild Stone, as a comfort, and waited for their triumphant return.
One day, when I was treating the wounds of a newly transferred soldier, he suddenly asked me coldly, "You are the eleventh lady of the Su family, right?" ”
I was a little stunned because I didn't mention my identity the whole time: "How do you know? ”
The soldier smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it has long been spread in our barracks, saying that the eleventh lady of the Su family is usually kind and charitable, but she is simple and frugal, she doesn't even have a hairpin ring jewelry, and she only uses purple 'colored' ribbons to braid her hair every day." Those of us who look at you are 'quite like' look at you are talking about it in private. ”
I smiled, noncommittal, a little embarrassed. I'm afraid that only I know what simplicity I have, just clumsy, and surprisingly lazy. Not only me, but even the two girls around me, the ingenious Xia Chu and Xiao Er will not comb those cumbersome 'fine' buns. It seems that since Hui'er and Lan'er left, I have been simply braiding my hemp 'flower' hair for a long time, but I didn't expect it to become my most conspicuous symbol.
The soldier pondered my expression and became more and more excited: "Miss Eleven will stay with us for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"Mid-Autumn Festival? Is it going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival? "I'm a little dazed.
"Yes, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
I paused in my hand, and then smiled: "I forgot when I was busy, I don't know, let's talk about it." ”
Unconsciously, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, no wonder the wind seemed to be a little cold these days and nights, blowing on the body, it was like hanging cold frost.
I stopped busy, and I hesitated a little, wondering if I should rush back to Yangzhou City immediately? If you hurry up, at this time tomorrow, you should go home and reunite with your aunt. The Su family survived the catastrophe, and after a life and death, one more person is always more lively, which can somewhat dilute some of the desolation.
I don't know, what is the cool speech and crazy stone now, the march is the most arduous, naturally not comparable to the Qiwang Mansion, this Mid-Autumn Festival is said to be a moon cake wine, I am afraid that even the leisure and leisure of admiring the moon is a luxury.
When I walked out of the tent, a bright moon was already hanging high in the sky, the moon was as white as silver, and it was clear as a mirror. In the oncoming night breeze, the fragrance of osmanthus is wafting, wrapped in the cool air like water, sweeping away the sultry 'tide' dampness in summer.
I never thought of myself as a sentimental person, but at this moment, looking up at the clouds, a lonely shadow of Qionglou, my heart inexplicably swelled with sadness.
"Are you thinking about me?" Someone behind him teased, a cool tone that couldn't be more familiar.
I turned my head abruptly and looked in surprise at the man in the crescent moon brocade under the moon, leading the horse and smiling evilly, as if he had stepped on the moon from the nine heavens.
"How could it be you? When did you get back? "I didn't dare to blink, lest in a trance he would disappear. It turns out that even such a brief separation will make me think like crazy, and my days will be like years.
"I came back to admire the moon with you." Liang Ci approached me step by step, and reached out to arrange the saddle beside him: "Get on the horse." ”
"Where to go?" I asked stupidly.
"It's really a bad scenery, you should not hesitate to 'hand' yourself to me, wherever I go, so as to live up to such a beautiful scenery." Liang Ci stretched out his hand to me, and his smile was refreshing and clean.
I turned over and got on my horse, and he sat down behind me, took me into his arms, and with a flick of the reins, the horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped out.
"Are you going back to Yangzhou City?" I saw Liang Ci holding the token, beating his horse out of the barracks, and heading straight in the direction of Yangzhou City, I couldn't help but ask.
Liang Ci slowed down, and let the horses kick and trot against the moon. The night breeze wrapped in the smell of grass in the wilderness has cooled my heart, and the cool words have circled me tightly, my chin rests on my shoulder socket, and the warm breath is sprayed on my neck: "Go back to Yangzhou City to accompany your father and aunt for the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"My father is back?" I asked in surprise.
Liang Ci nodded faintly behind him.
"Is the war over?"
Liang Ci still nodded: "The Bodhi Sect fled when it heard the wind, and the army flew into the air several times, and there is no point in entangling it any longer." So the gong was sounded to collect the troops, and the crazy stones and insects went back to Beijing directly. ”
"Then wouldn't we take a long detour back to Yangzhou City now?" I turned my face to him, and my cheek was right against his 'lips', soft and cold, and I panicked and dodged it, causing a chuckle.
"I have something important to do when I go back to Yangzhou City." The cool words whispered under my ear.
I also only regard it as a confidential matter of the government and government, no longer asking, just chatting about some interesting things, the two of them ride, facing the bright moon, happiness seems to be within reach.
In the evening of the next day, we entered Yangzhou City, but he passed the government and did not enter, and went straight to the direction of Sufu.
The subordinate flew and trampled the ground with a "knock" sound. The father and the eldest brother hurriedly went out of the house to greet him, and he was about to bow down. My father was visibly emaciated and out of shape, and his face was still a little burnt. He must have been recuperating in bed, and after hearing the news, he hurriedly got up and put on it, and even his two shoes were reversed.
My father has experienced two changes in a row, and he has carried the sudden death of his grandmother and the seventh aunt, the tenth aunt, the betrayal of the fourth aunt, and the misfortune of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, and he has to suffer all the time, I don't know what kind of disaster Qingqing in the capital will bring to the Su family in the future. Worried, partial and powerless, father, this time he is really old.
Liang Ci stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help, and his father was naturally very grateful, and he welcomed him into the main hall with sincere fear. Liang Ci had to emphasize again and again that there was no need to be formal, but my father and eldest brother were still a little restrained, even in the face of me, they lowered their eyebrows and became respectful, which made me a little uncomfortable.
After the greetings, several people sat down in turn, and they were speechless for a while, not knowing how to speak, and the atmosphere was dull and embarrassing.
Father and eldest brother are both well-known people in the business field, and they have always been able to talk and laugh at various banquets or occasions, but in the face of cool words today, it seems that they can no longer find other topics except for feeling 'excited'.
I can see that my father and eldest brother are respectful and grateful from the bottom of their hearts, not flattery. In their eyes. Liang Ci is tantamount to saving the protector of my Su family, and I can't wait to worship him sincerely and enjoy the morning and evening bows and the Su family's incense.
"Please have tea." The eldest brother persuaded tea for the third time.
"The prince has worked hard for my Su family, and he has worked hard to run 'waves'." Father smiled dryly.
"Drink tea." The eldest brother continued to persuade, but the muscles and flesh on his face were a little stiff, and he twitched unnaturally.
Liang Ci sat in the first place, holding the tea cup and drinking it non-stop.
If it continues like this, the moon viewing banquet in the evening, I'm afraid that everyone can really only silently look up and admire the moon.
"Dad, big brother, Lord Qi is just accompanying me back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to be too restrained." I tried to soften the atmosphere.
"Lord Qi is as kind to the Su family, how dare we be pampered and arrogant, and make mistakes at will?" My father was still sitting upright, smiling all over his face.
"If Master Su is really 'excited' about me," Liang Ci put down the tea cup in his hand, took out a piece of paper from his arms without hurry, and handed it to his father: "There is a document here, please ask Master Su to take a look, can you sign it?" ”
The father respectfully took it in his hand, opened it suspiciously, frowned at first, and then quickly stretched it out, smiling, and even a little flattered. The eldest brother also turned his head curiously to look, his face was strange, and his joy was rippling between his eyebrows.
"What is it?" I craned my neck to see, "Why haven't I heard you mention it?" ”
"It's just a paper sales contract, and you can't understand business matters." Liang Ci tugged at my sleeve: "Aren't you in a hurry to see your aunt?" ”
It's not a good thing to carry someone, a good thing is not to carry someone, my intuition is that he has a ghost in his heart, and this is to find a reason to direct me out. I pretended to be obedient, went out to talk to my aunt, and when I came to my father, I suddenly poked my head to look, but my eldest brother quickly dodged, separating my gaze.
As if he was afraid of the cold resignation, he didn't care about instructing his subordinates to study the ink, so he lifted the wolf pen on the case, moistened a little tea, hurriedly paid for the contract, carefully dried the ink, and returned it to the cool speech, as if smiling as if a 'flower' had bloomed on his face.
I quickly turned around and grabbed it, and the cool speech was even faster, glancing at the corner of the paper, folding it neatly and contentedly, and then putting it into the cuffs.
At this time, the father and eldest brother seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of burden, they were extremely relaxed, and they smiled casually: "Qingbo, hurry up and inform Aunt Nine and the second lady to dig out a few jars of good wine buried under the begonia tree, and we will have a few drinks in the evening." ”
"Your injuries!" I couldn't help but remind.
The father waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, that 'girl' is red and soft and doesn't hurt her body, she must get drunk tonight." ”
Sure enough, when admiring the moon at night, my father really drank too much, and the eldest brother also stiffened his tongue and spoke incoherently.
I looked at Liang Ci several times, but he did not lose his temper, and he always had a 'yin' smile on his face, glancing at me from time to time, which made me feel alarmed, and I couldn't figure out what kind of 'medicine' he was selling in his gourd.
