"Master, don't be too reluctant to spend money when you go out. Pay attention to peace. Su'er is still young, don't be too strict with your playfulness. Chen admonished

"Su'er, listen to your father, don't be naughty, don't run around in the official's house, be careful of bumping into the nobles." Chen touched Liu Su's head, touched his face, and straightened his clothes. seemed to confirm something, and then directly pulled Liu Su into his arms. All that was full of worry was the silent embrace.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of my father and myself. At home, you take care of yourself, too. Liu Su put his small and short hand on Liu Chen's back and patted it gently. In fact, she didn't know how to deal with such a scene. In the past life, there was no so-called mother-daughter separation. Between friends, it has always been that today you go, tomorrow he comes. I haven't experienced it between lovers.

"Alright, let's go. Yi'er is still waiting. Father Liu said beside him.

Liu Su withdrew from Chen's arms, and Zhao Yi, who was standing next to the carriage, helped her and got into the carriage parked at the door. Then Zhao Yiye climbed into the carriage.

This is the carriage that Liu's father specially rented for Liu Su. A car in the car dealership does not bring a driver, 2 taels of silver a day. Liu's father was afraid that Liu Su would have a hard time traveling long distances for the first time. And you also need a carriage to go out or come back, usually Liu's father and Zhao Yi go out to work, they just go to the city gate to take the shared carriage, and go down and walk to a certain place.

The carriage was just made of ordinary camphor trees, painted with lacquer, and the color was a little black because it had been over the years. It's not big inside, and it's just right for three people to sit inside. The curtain is royal blue linen embroidered with small flowers.

Liu Su sat in the innermost, leaned against the small window of the carriage, scooped up the small curtains, and watched the carriage start slowly, Jin Mo supported her mother, and Jin Mei held Liu Wu and stood there without moving. I didn't lower the curtain until I couldn't see it anymore.

"Senior brother, how long are we going to be walking?"

"Senior sister, the master is not in a hurry, we should not be able to arrive until noon, and we can get there in an hour and a half when we usually go to Liushui County." Zhao Yi said.

Liu Su thought about it, that is, he rushed to Liushui County to have a meal. "Senior brother, let's buy some snacks and put them in the car before we go out of the city."

"Hehe, junior sister, you don't have to worry about this, my wife is already ready" said and bent down from under the seat and took out a small package. "Look, this is all the food that my wife prepared for us. Senior sister, do you want to eat? ”

"No, senior brother, you can put it away."

Gradually, the carriage passed through the gate of the town, slowing down, and after a while the carriage became faster again. Liu Su opened the curtain and watched as the carriage got farther and farther away from the city gate. Turned onto the official road leading to Liushui County.

Liu Su read a book in the carriage, and when he was tired, he looked at the ancient scenery and ate some snacks prepared by Liu Chen. The first time I took an ancient carriage, for people who are used to airplanes and high-speed rail. This carriage is really not a very comfortable means of travel.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu's father briefly negotiated with the people guarding the city gate. The carriage finally drove into Liushui County. Liu Su was attracted by the sound of people outside the carriage and opened the curtain. The stalls on both sides of the street are shouting and selling one after another. Those who buy things, those who walk the streets, those who return home, those who go to the city to make a living, and the flow of people is endless.

The carriage passed through the downtown area and stopped in front of the South Street Entrance called "Jifu Inn".

"Yi'er, Su'er come down." Liu's father's voice came from outside the car.

"Guest officer, eat or sharpen?" The shopkeeper appeared next to the carriage with a smile on his face.

"Eat at the tip, help me put the wagon in place, and feed the horses. Here, this is your reward. Father Liu said and took out some broken silver and gave it to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er's smile on his face was even more sincere. "Guest officer, don't worry, Bao will help you feed the horse to your heart's content. Come, come, inside please.

The shopkeeper is three sharp. While welcoming Liu's father and the others inside, he shouted inside.

"Guest officer, you need a few rooms, the upper room, the lower room." The shopkeeper stood behind the counter and greeted him with a smile.

"Come and have a suite for two days. First, bring us three dishes and one soup and bring them to the room. Father Liu took out five taels of silver and put it on the counter.

Liu Su didn't make a sound from getting out of the car, just observing the surroundings. As soon as you enter this ancient hotel, there is a lobby, because it is a meal, and there are a few tables of guests who are eating, and the people are noisy.

The arrival of Liu Su and his entourage did not attract the attention of others.

In the room, the three of them finished eating.

"In the afternoon, my father is going to the Fu Mansion to contact the steward, you and Senior Brother Zhao Yi can go to the market. However, don't run around, stay safe. Here's some silver. Father Liu handed a small purse to Liu Su.

"Yi'er, you look at your junior sister more and take care of her. This is prepared for you by my wife, and you can also buy something you like. After speaking, he handed a purse to Zhao Yi.

After explaining, Liu's father cleaned up, changed his clothes and left the inn.

"Senior brother, let's rest for half an hour first, and then go out for a walk, okay?"

"Senior sister, then you have a good rest."

There are two rooms inside and outside the suite, a few small and a large outside. Liu Su went to the inner room and sat in the only place in the room where he could sit, the bed. Put your own baggage at the head of the bed. After thinking for a while, he stared at this quaint little guest room for a long time. Then close your eyes and close your eyes.

Two quarters of an hour later.

"Senior sister, are we up, let's go to the market." Zhao Yi's voice sounded at the door.

"Eh, I'll come out." Liu Su immediately got up, tidied up the frightening dress, and then divided the money into three parts and put it away. Get out of the room.

"Senior brother, I want to go and see if there are any fresh herbs to collect in the market. Let's go ask the shopkeeper first. ”

The two went downstairs. There are only 2 tables in the lobby, and the guests are drinking tea and chatting. Liu Su came to the counter, but because he was not tall. He could only retreat a few steps away from the counter, raised his head and smiled sweetly, "Uncle Shopkeeper, do you know where there is a collection of fresh herbs in this market?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the little girl who stayed in the hotel at noon. He smiled and said, "Little girl, there are not many places to collect fresh herbs, and generally only those who often go up the mountain to collect herbs. ”

"Uncle shopkeeper, do you know where the special account for collecting medicine is? I need to buy some fresh herbs. Liu Su saw that the direction was right, and then asked.

The shopkeeper didn't look like a joke to the little girl, and said, "Little girl, it's a coincidence." My cousin's family makes a living by collecting medicines. If you really need it, I'll ask the shopkeeper to take you to see it. ”

"Then I'm sorry for you, thank you so much Uncle Shopkeeper. I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous source of wealth. Liu Su was full of smiles.

"Oh, this little mouth is really good at talking. Xiao Li, you accompany this girl to my cousin, just say what I said, let him give this little girl a cheaper. The shopkeeper was praised by Liu Su, and the smile on his face reached the bottom of his eyes.

"Hey, okay, shopkeeper." Xiao Li poked his head in from the door of the lobby to respond.

"Then I'll thank you, if my father comes back early, please ask the shopkeeper to help. Don't let him worry about it all the time. After Liu Su finished speaking, he picked up Zhao Yi and walked to the door.

Xiao Li was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he greeted them. "Miss, childe, please, I'll show you both the way. The shopkeeper's cousin lives a little out of the way, and the road is a bit spared. Follow me closely. ”

"Little brother, you lead the way. We will follow you closely," Zhao Yi said.

Xiao Er led the two of them through the previous bazaar, turned left, and walked for about three quarters of an hour. Come to the mouth of a quiet alley. "Miss, you see, my shopkeeper's cousin lives in this alley, you come with me."

At the end of the alley, a second-entry mansion appeared in front of me. Xiao Er stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon a child would open the door.

"Brother Li, why did you come here today. What's the matter? ”

"Xiaodong, I'm bringing a guest, is your boss here?" Xiao Er hurriedly let Liu Su and the others behind him out.

"At home, please come in, I'll go and ask the master." Xiaodong let people in. Turn around and close the door. Leaving Xiao Li to accompany Liu Su and the two, he went to the backyard to report.
