Chapter 127: For Whom the Wind and Rain Stand
Sanniang was also thinking about it at this time. For a while, I wondered if something would happen in the house, and for a while, I was worried that Wu Niang and the others suddenly disappeared without a trace, whether someone was making trouble.
At this time, the carriage had already traveled a long distance, Wu Niang and they should not have run so far on their own feet, and if they went further, they would definitely not be able to find anyone, so it was better to go back and find it, and then send someone back to call someone to help. Sanniang shouted to stop and asked Bai Zhi to tell Yuan Niang and Er Niang what she thought.
After a while, Bai Zhi came back and said: "The second lady said that it is better to look for it separately, she continued to look forward, the eldest lady's carriage went back, and the young lady went out from the fork in front of you to the street near the river to ask." After two quarters of an hour, whether they found anyone or not, they went back to the place where the river lantern had just been put and converged. ”
Sanniang nodded in agreement. There is a street parallel to the riverbank from the fork in the front, but it is not far away, and there are large and small shops on the street, and it is very lively on weekdays.
So the three carriages separated for the time being. At this time, the rain was heavier, and it was dark, and even if the carriage was hung with wind lights, it was impossible to see too far away. On the banks of the river, there were still some people who were not in the carriage and trotting with their heads protected.
The handlebar of the chariot kept shouting, "The carriage is coming, get out of the way!" The shouts of the coachman and the voices of the women calling "Miss" were mixed together, and it was also lively.
The carriage passed through the fork where two willow trees were planted, and the sound of the horse's hooves rose upward, just now the river bank was full of grass, and the horses' hooves were almost silent, but now they stepped on the bluestone road. It's just that because of the rain, Sanniang feels that even the crisp sound of horses' hooves is a little damp.
"Stop." Bai Ying shouted at Sanniang's signal, and after a while, the carriage slowly stopped.
Bai Ying lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and instructed the mothers-in-law who came with her to find shops or pedestrians along the street to inquire carefully. Let's see if anyone has seen the three young ladies. The mother-in-law went separately, and Bai Ying instructed the coachman to park the carriage on the side of the road.
Lifting the curtain slightly, Sanniang saw that there were many shops on this street that had not yet closed. I want to see today's Midyear Festival, there are many people who come to the river to put lights, and I want to take this opportunity to do more business.
The lantern in front of the store is reflected on the smooth bluestone pavement. One lamp became two, and two lamps became four. Therefore, although the lanterns are scattered, they are still bright.
Sanniang saw that an unclosed shop not far away was different from the coldness of other shops, and it was crowded with people.
Sanniang was a little curious, and couldn't help but look at it, only to see that the shop seemed to have two shops, big or small, and there was a half-couplet of red paper and black letters hanging on the door on this side. The lantern is also eye-catching, and the book reads: Look at the situation of the world, the awake are less, and the drunk are more.
Obviously, this is the next link, and it's interesting to watch, but I don't know what the next link is
"Huh? Miss, is that a restaurant? Bai Ying also recognized a few words, followed Sanniang's gaze, and said suspiciously: "But, why do the people who come out of it have an umbrella in their hands?" The slave thought she was selling umbrellas. ”
"Miss, those mothers-in-law who are stupid and stupid must not be able to ask clearly. The slave and maid should go down and ask, right? Bai Guo rolled his eyes and said.
Sanniang knew that Bai Guo wanted to go to the shop to have a look, and she didn't poke her, so she only nodded and said with a smile: "You go to the shop to see if you can buy an umbrella." If you can. I bought a few and gave them to the mothers-in-law, Bai Zhi, you can also help get the umbrella. As he spoke, he asked Bai Ying to count some copper coins for Bai Zhi to collect.
Bai Guo was very happy, and he didn't wait for Bai Zhi, he lifted the curtain and went into the rain, and he was not afraid of the rain, so he turned around and said, "Sister Bai Zhi, I'll go and ask first." ”
"Ah, wait." Bai Zhi took the money and hurriedly followed.
Only Sanniang and Bai Ying were left in the carriage.
"Miss, what's going on in the house?" Seeing that the coachman had just been sent down to the eaves on the side to hide from the rain, Bai Ying asked softly.
Sanniang opened the curtain a little so that she could see the situation on the street clearly, and shook her head when she heard the words: "I just think something is wrong, so I take precautions." ”
As long as she and Wang Jingren are safe, if any other calculations come at them, it is nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, she is not afraid of anything, Sanniang smiled faintly.
At this moment, the slightly open window enclosure of the carriage moved slightly, and something flew in against the curtains, and then fell on the board of the carriage and rolled.
Bai Ying was taken aback and was about to scream, but Sanniang covered her mouth in time.
Such a strange scene did not scare Sanniang, because this scene was very familiar. Sanniang motioned for Bai Ying not to make a sound, and only when she saw Bai Ying nodding did she remove her hand from her lips.
Sanniang leaned over and picked up the things on the ground, and then looked at the light outside, but it was a small round bottle of blue and white porcelain, Sanniang subconsciously touched the small purse she was carrying, and there was also a bottle in the purse that was almost identical to this one.
"Miss, what is this?" Bai Ying leaned over and whispered.
Sanniang saw that there was still a white paper inserted on the mouth of the bottle, so she pulled it out and went to the car window to take a look, only to see a line of familiar strong and powerful small characters: jade skin cream, smeared on the finger wound, three times a day, can remove scars.
Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out her hand, her fingers were white and slender, and there were two shallow scars on the tips of her index finger and thumb, the wounds had healed, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look closely.
The corners of Sanniang's mouth couldn't help but rise.
She remembered that when she asked him about the golden medicine, he thought she was worried that her finger would leave a scar, so he said that he would find her a medicine to remove the scar. She didn't take it to heart, but she didn't want him to take it seriously. Either way, it's always nice to feel cared for.
"Go and get the coachman away." Sanniang said to Bai Ying.
"Miss......" Bai Ying looked at Sanniang and said in surprise.
Sanniang nodded: "It's okay, go ahead." ”
Bai Ying didn't dare to disobey, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and didn't know what she said to the coachman, who took a few copper coins handed over by Bai Ying and thanked him.
After a while, Bai Ying turned around and replied, "Miss, I'll ask him to go to the teahouse in front of him to buy a cup of hot ginger tea and warm it up." "The coachman traveled all the way, and he did not wear a coat and hat, and his body was already soaked, although it was a summer night, but it was already approaching autumn and it was raining heavily, and it was always cold. It's always good to be able to have a warm cup of tea.
Sanniang nodded, lifted the curtain and whispered outside: "Thank you for the ointment, I will take it." After a pause, he said, "I don't know if you're healed, but it's always bad if it's raining and getting wet." ”
Bai Ying looked out in disbelief, and there were only a few pedestrians hurrying past on the road, but there was no one. She was about to ask out loud, but she heard a cold voice from the car wall on the other side: "My injuries have healed, don't worry." ”
The cold tone mixed with the sound of raindrops hitting the bluestone pavement is extremely good.
Bai Ying also heard it, this was the voice of the Xuanshao Xuan Gongzi.
There was silence in the car, and there was silence outside the car, only the sound of rain. The noise coming from the shop not far away, which was more lively than the rest of the world, suddenly became a scene, distant and vague.
Sanniang asked on a whim: "The shop in front, the next link is: Look at the world, less awake, more drunk." What is Uplink? It's blocked, I can't see. ”
After a pause outside, he said: "Ask how the business is, it can be opened, and it can be closed." There was a slight sense of pleasure and relaxation in the voice, but the owner of the voice himself did not notice it.
"Selling umbrellas?" Sanniang said curiously.
"Half of the shop sells umbrellas, and half of the shop sells wine."
“……”
Sanniang had to sigh that the ancients were really talented, and even the market was full of talents.
"Did you come to Qingcheng to reveal your whereabouts or ......" Sanniang wanted to ask him if he came to "do business", or did he come openly as Xuan Shao.
"This time I came to Jinan Mansion with Prince Li, and I left Licheng alone because I came to Qidong because of something." Xuan Shao said lightly.
Qidong County is adjacent to Qingcheng, and it is not far away, it is a large county on the edge of the Yellow River.
At this time, Sanniang faintly heard the sound of Bai Guo's chirping over there, opened the curtain and looked out, only to see Bai Guo holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and holding several in his arms, and was excitedly telling Bai Zhi what to do, Bai Zhi was not idle in her hands like her.
Xuan Shao also heard the movement over there, so he said, "I'll go first, don't forget to rub the medicine." ”
After a pause, he said, "If you have something to do, you can send someone to find me at the pharmacy in Tsing Yi Lane, and I will stay here for a few days." ”
After that, there was no sound outside the curtain.
The sound of the wind, the rain, the noise seemed to be clearer.
"Miss, you see, we bought ten umbrellas for only one hundred and twenty yuan." Bai Guo's voice came through the curtain.
Then the curtain was lifted, and the damp moisture entered the small space of the carriage with the ginkgo seedling. Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi also got into the carriage.
"The shopkeeper is really good at business, we were only going to buy six, and after paying the money, we found that we had ten umbrellas in our hands. The girl Baiguo still wanted to hear the shopkeeper buy a few more, until she found that she couldn't hold it anymore. Bai Zhi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"There are so many of us, we always have to use it. In our car, there are also the eldest lady, the second miss, and the fifth lady, and the master of their car plus the girl......" Bai Guo folded his hands and said: "Oh, I said it was not enough, if you have to pull me away, we should be drenched in the rain later." ”
Bai Zhi glared at Bai Guo: "We don't have to get off the carriage!" ”
At this time, a mother-in-law hurriedly ran over to report: "Third Miss, Second Miss sent a slave to tell you that Miss Fourth, Miss Five, and Miss Six have been found, so let you hurry over." ()
