The wheels came in a hurry, and Luo Shi asked in an authentic Tongzhou dialect: "But the carriage of the lady of the Tongzhou Niu family?" ”

Phew—

The handlebar strangled the horse and jumped off the wheel.

Sanniang followed and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and when she saw Luo Shi coming to see her off, she hurriedly got out of the carriage, helped her arm, and scolded her gently:

"The body is so heavy, what are you doing here, there are a lot of horses rampant on the official road, and I am not afraid of bumping!"

"There are many people in the village, and if you want to send one, you can't, so be careful on the road."

The two of them hooked their arms and walked to a big locust tree on the side of the official road to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, Tongzhou is safe and peaceful under the rule of Lord Yu, everyone has a rush in their days, Niujia Village was originally a poor and remote country, and now it is a girl in the city, and they are all pierced to marry in our village, but you are in Liangzhou, this territory is fighting, and the Xirong people jump a few mountains to kill in, be careful of you!"

Luo Xin knew that Sanniang had been relieved in her heart, and wanted to persuade her to go back to Tongzhou together.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, the Liang family protects Liangzhou, if I go back to Tongzhou, I have to live in hiding, it is better to be incognito here, and I still want to stay with him......"

"This! Why do you bother? Ay! ”

Sanniang's gentle temperament inevitably sighed:

"That's it, just remember to send a letter every month to report safety, the snack shop has opened in Liangzhou, and I will have the opportunity to come to see you in the future!"

"Okay, Brother Chang Gung, Pocket there, let's hide it"

Sanniang's eyes were red, she took out the Juanpa in her arms, pointed at the tears in the corners of her eyes, and choked up:

"I know, blame me for being so hearty, I can't bear to say goodbye-" He sniffed on his back, squeezed out a smile, and changed his words:

"The paperwork on Querong's side has been signed, and she promised to open the shop in Liangzhou within a month, and I also taught her a few spicy recipes, but there are still any leaks?"

Luo Shi shook her head and smiled:

"That's enough, I'll add some firewood in a few days, and that's it."

"You've always had an idea, just remember to protect yourself, don't let us people worry about it! Okay, you've been standing for a long time, go back quickly, don't say something to take care, make me shed tears, go quickly......"

Sanniang urged Luo Shi to go back, turned her face away, and the tears were unbearable.

Luo Xian's heart was sour, and Sanniang also burst into tears, raised her hand and shook it, thinking that there was nothing more to explain, so she turned around and stepped on the muddy forest path to go back.

Halfway through, she walked and glanced back at Sanniang's carriage.

I saw that it had slowly traveled away, leaving only a puff of yellow dust at the head of the sandy road......

*

In the following days, there were two heavens of ice and fire in Kushui Township.

It's so hot that it's Shanzi's house, the door is like a city, and the neighbors who come to the door are endless; It's cold to be full of daughter-in-law's house, Erkui and Man Hoard haven't returned for a long time, she is like falling into an ice cellar, and she chatters when she meets people, and she is uneasy.

On this day, the iron pillar mother of the next door came to Luo Shi's house to borrow garlic vinegar and talked about the Querong family.

"Shengzi daughter-in-law, why are you still sitting, everyone in the village goes to her house to climb relatives to discuss affection, and send large bags and small bags to congratulate, but I am worried that the gifts are not rare, so you are silent."

As if knowing what Luo Xi was thinking, Tie Zhu Niang persuaded:

"How can the villagers have an unsolvable hatred? I know you can't swallow Zhao Si's breath, but the matter has passed, don't get along with the silver, Shanzi's daughter-in-law is short of manpower, as long as you send some gifts to the door and say a few good words, it can be done."

Luo Shi smiled, listening to Tie Zhu Niang's chatter, although the old woman's mouth was broken, but her heart was not bad, so Luo Shi pressed her patience, and she just nodded what she said.

"Didn't I say it, you see that your body is heavy, and it is impossible to go up the mountain to pick up medicinal herbs, right? In the future, there will be no mother-in-law at home to help pull the child, and it will be difficult for you to go out to work and work.

Tie Zhu Niang didn't know that Luo Shi was in order to supply spicy people with water, so she only relied on her family's financial resources, and only relied on Shengzi's little strength to work for rations.

With his thoughts flowing, Luo Shi lowered his eyes and asked timidly:

"According to your wishes, if I bring something to the door, she will also release my suspicions with me?"

"Ouch, that's natural, I understand Shanzi's daughter-in-law, she is a generous and virtuous person, if you don't worry, I'll go and say it for you! Make sure not to mention the past grievances again! ”

When Tie Zhuniang heard that Luo Shi was enlightened, she was happy, and she took a big bag, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider at all.

Luo Xi paused, had some calculations in his heart, raised his eyes and smiled:

"Why don't I prepare for it in a while, and after the meal, ask my aunt to come with me?"

"Huh! Okay, that's it, don't feel sorry for the present, you can earn it back in the future! I'll give you twenty more eggs, and I'll go get you-"

"How embarrassing! I have eggs in my house, don't worry, I have miles."

After sending off the iron pillar mother, Luo Shi went back to the house and took out the rough-edged paper and pen and ink inkstone in the cabinet.

Shengzi is illiterate, and there is no scholar at home, so she bought these all because she promised Sanniang that she would write a letter back every month to report her safety.

After half an hour, I finally put pen to paper and made up an advertising song for the lady, and the song used the song of the hot girl.

Blow dry the ink stains on the paper and read it through, it is catchy, like a children's song, very magical.

Hehe smiled, Luo Shi folded the lyric paper, then found a basket, pressed the paper at the bottom, put a few eggs in it, and covered it with a blue and white flower cloth, which was counted as a door-to-door gift to the Querong family.

After the meal, Tie Zhu Niang came as promised, and took Luo Shi to Shanzi's house.

Shanzi's house has a high gate and a wide courtyard, and the fence has been replaced with a courtyard wall made of terrazzo bricks early, and two courtyard dogs are bolted, and they are boiling viciously at people.

"Go, go!" Tiezhu Niang was afraid of dogs, and drove the dogs with stones from afar, and said loudly to the courtyard:

"Shanzi Niang, Finberry! Not at home? ”

After a long time, a well-dressed old woman came out with a rice bowl and opened the courtyard door.

Seeing that it was Tiezhu Niang and Luo Shi, she was a little surprised, and the yin and yang monster stabbed over:

"Yo, rare guest, the daughter-in-law of the son is here? I'm just looking down on our workshop! ”

"Where to talk, we are the goddess of wealth, only close to Gao Pan, where will I look down, Shanzi Niangwei will tell jokes, oh, people are not here to congratulate!"

Tie Zhuniang was afraid that Luo was thin-skinned, so she couldn't stand the words and scratches, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round.

Shanzi Niang smiled and didn't speak, and glanced at the basket that Luo Shi was holding, one of the baskets was shallow, I don't know what it was, it wouldn't be an egg, right? Sending half a basket of eggs is too shabby!

After all, it was a gift, Shanzi Niang tied the dog, turned sideways to open the courtyard door, invited the two to come in, and pretended to be polite:

"We're still eating, have you eaten? Why don't you eat some together? ”

Luo Shi took a look and saw that a pergola was set up in the courtyard, hung with a bamboo curtain to block the light and heat, and the dining table was inside, and the family was eating in it, which was cool in early summer.

"After eating, I'll wait on the side with Tiezhu Niang for a while, you take care of yourself to eat, you don't have to take care of it"

Luo Shi smiled, responded to the words in a good voice, and had a kind attitude, changing the cold and withdrawn appearance of the past.

Shanzi Niang smiled, dragged two horse benches, invited someone to sit down, and went back to the table to eat.

There are few people at the dinner table, Shanzi is the son of the family, he supports his parents, his skin is still clean, and his writing is weak and not like a farmer; Shan Zipa's dark-faced peasant man was wearing a new cotton shirt, which was a little disobedient; The banyan sat on the right seat for the first time, and the dress was exquisite, which was the new powder on the face, and it was also the hibiscus goose powder brought by the trustee from the capital, which was expensive and tight.

It's really not ordinary.

When the banyan saw the visit, the meaning in her eyes was unclear, and she couldn't hide a trace of pride, and the action of eating with chopsticks became more and more pretentious.

"Come on, after drinking chicken soup to replenish your body, you have been busy with the shop these days, but it has been hard?"

Shanzi Niang is very attentive to the banyan banyan, and she doesn't dare to hold the evil mother-in-law's shelf at all, for fear of provoking her daughter-in-law who is not happy at all. The family's current income depends on Que Rong alone, and he can't wait as an ancestor?

Que Rong glanced at Luo Shi, put down the spoon in his hand lightly, and replied coquettishly:

"It's chicken soup again, it's almost summer, mother, you don't like to eat greasy, and I'm not pregnant yet - even if others are pregnant, but eat pickles and steamed buns, our family, it's too eye-catching"

Luo Shi lowered her head and smiled, knowing that she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, sarcastically mocking her as a pot-bellied woman.

Father Shanzi couldn't stand it anymore, put down his chopsticks heavily, and snorted in his nostrils: "Croppers are reluctant to eat an egg, killing chickens and eating meat every day?" Is it really money that falls from the sky? ”

Que Rong's face was still the same, but his tone was cold:

"Dad said something wrong, the money is earned by me, it doesn't fall from the sky, or I kill cows to eat every day, and I also eat with peace of mind"

Shanzi Niang tried her best to give the old man a look, the farmer was honest and didn't want to argue, bypassed the embarrassed Tiezhu Niang and Luo Shi, slammed the door and went outside.

The meal was unhappily dispersed, Shanzi Niang wrote down the account on Luo Shi's head, bowed her head coldly, cleaned up the table, and didn't even pour her a glass of water.

Speaking of business, Tie Zhu Niang spoke first:

"Shanzi daughter-in-law, are you busy these days? It's really amazing, it's only been more than half a year, and I'm happy! ”

Que Rong spoke softly and said modestly: "My aunt is a foreigner, and I still rely on the help of the villagers, I am a foreign woman who is not sensible, and I will rely on my aunt to mention more miles in the future."

"Yo, this little mouth can talk...... That's what I'm talking about, our fellow villagers, we are a friendship, and it's not a big deal to have a dislike in the past.

Anyway, Tie Zhu Niang gave Luo Shi a look-

Luo Shi got up, put the basket on the table, and said with a warm smile: "Congratulations to Sister Querong"

Que Rong glanced at the basket, laughed and trembled, and finally accepted the smile, and said lightly: "Sister is finally willing to call me a sister, just come, what else to give, really outside, in the past, it was my sister and I didn't, but there were many things around me, and I didn't go around, so I asked people outside to say that we were born......"

Shanzi Niang stepped forward to pick up the basket, secretly lifted the cover and glanced at it, her face was brushed down, and she threw the basket on the table!

The egg rolled on the table and smashed to the ground. It's a mess and dirty, it's really a mess.

"Ouch, it's a waste, my baby is reluctant to eat egg custard!" Tie Zhuniang immediately patted her thighs, and her distressed eyebrows trembled.

"Seven or eight eggs, this is to pass the meal? You don't ask what others are sending, this poor and sour look, and you dare to come to my girl, with the idea of a lack of children in the shop, phew, what kind of thing"

Shanzi Niang didn't want to see her, but when she saw this basket of eggs, she completely broke her face and wanted to drive her out.

Other families come to ask for trouble, twenty or thirty eggs are the least, and a few more cotton cloths must be added, and the last time it has to be three shuttle cloths, I have never seen the daughter-in-law of Shengzi so instigated.

Que Rong frowned, but did not stop it, just watched with interest at Luo Shi's humiliation, which made her enjoy it extraordinarily.

Luo Xian condoled the eighteenth generation of Shanzi Niang's ancestors, but he was not annoyed on his face, squatted down, picked out the raw edge paper at the bottom of the basket, looked at the egg white stained on it, and said regretfully:

"It's dirty, I don't know if I can see it clearly, the eggs are just pressed corners, this is the gift I plan to give to the banyan girl"

"What is this?"

"I thought that the shop had not yet opened, but the lady was famous, and the snacks were the little doll's favorite food, so I made up a few small songs that could be sung, and invited people to sing them in the streets and alleys.

When Que Rong heard this, a gleam flashed in her eyes, obviously Luo's idea was very much to her liking.

took the raw paper, shook it off, glanced at it roughly, and nodded: "How do you sing this?" Is there a tune? ”

"Naturally, there is—"

Luo Shi smiled, but the second half of the sentence was silent.

Que Rong glanced at it suspiciously, and then he understood, and sneered: "Oh, it's just a place to work, I just agreed to you, but you have a big belly now, and it's not good to go in the shop, so it's better to help in the workshop, I will allow you a position in charge, and watch those women and mothers-in-law for me, how about it?" ”

"But it's up to the sister to decide, as long as I eat a bite of food, I'll be content"

Luo Shi said, pretending to sigh, and told all her helplessness, which made Que Rong let down her guard even more.

Next, one sentence at a time, about an hour of hard work, Luo Shi taught Que Rong, and almost learned all the songs of the hot girls. The lyrics are catchy and very easy to remember, so it is not difficult to learn, and Que Rong immediately decided to go to Tongzhou City to invite people to sing, and before the shop opened, the neighborhood wells heard the singing everywhere.

Luo Shi looked at her as if she was eager to try and determined to win, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile......
