Chapter 36: Little Follower
Back at home, A-Xing made lunch.
When she brought lunch to her father, she talked about her sister's situation, and Ah Xing told him that her sister was all right, healthy, and the Hu family was good to her, but she didn't say anything about the episode when she met the young master of the Hu family.
Ah Xing was sure that the young master of the Hu family would never tell him about it, how could he be such an arrogant person, how could he let others know about his troubles, maybe he was still worried that he would say it! I just don't know if he will hold a grudge against this in his heart? However, in that situation at that time, if she didn't do anything and was just dumb, she didn't know what kind of situation would evolve into next, even if she shouted loudly to attract people to help, it would inevitably alarm the lady and them, but I was afraid that in their eyes it would be their own after all.
She wasn't worried that Young Master Hu would hate Li Yin because of this, firstly, Li Yin had nothing to do with this matter, and he had no reason to involve his anger on her, and secondly, Li Yin was now pregnant, and he basically gained the trust of his wife, and his identity as the future head of the family had been decided, so he didn't have to embarrass an aunt who didn't pose any threat to him for these things. If he is really such a person who does not distinguish between the important and the important, it is estimated that he will not be able to get the favor of Master Hu and King Jin to become the heir of the head of the Hu family. The Hu family is not only his son, but the second aunt also has a 12-year-old second young master of the Hu family!
So Ah Xing is not worried that Li Yin will be affected at this time, but the young master of the Hu family is deeply rooted in his father's inheritance, greedy and bold, it seems that you have to be careful when you go to the Hu family in the future, and you will have to take a detour when you see his shadow!
Ah Xing was still worried that the young master of the Hu family would take revenge, but a few days later, her life was calm and uneventful, and nothing happened, she couldn't help but think that maybe the last time was too embarrassing, and the young master of the Hu family didn't want to see her again for the rest of his life!
Slowly, this matter was left behind by her. But something else worried her.
Li Runfu's voice was screaming continuously for the past few days, and when he got up this morning, he couldn't make a sound!
He opened his mouth wide and exerted his strength, even if he blushed, he could only make a slight hoarse sound, and he came to see the doctor, who said that he used his voice excessively, and prescribed a prescription to clear his throat and throat, and specially instructed him not to speak for a few days.
Ah Xing persuaded her father: "Daddy, just rest at home for a few days these days, don't go out to solicit customers!" ”
Li Runfu waved his hand and didn't agree, the business of soliciting customers these days is so good, there are more than one tael of silver every day, and he used to be tired and tired of moving goods at the dock for a month and only survived for 2 taels of silver, they have been suffering for so long, seeing that life is about to get better, how can he be willing to stay at home and watch the silver slip away from his eyes? He has something to do with his throat, not something with his hands, let him rest, he doesn't want to!
Li Runfu insisted on driving the carriage out despite Ah Xing's dissuasion.
Ah Xing couldn't hold him, she was in a hurry behind him, and for the first time she found out that her father's temper was so stubborn! She had no choice but to say behind him, "Daddy, then you must not use your voice, otherwise it will be difficult to use your voice!" ”
Li Runfu made a gesture to reassure his daughter.
When she went to deliver food to her father at noon, Ah Xing saw her father's carriage parked on the side of West Street from a distance, and he was sitting in the carriage with his head down.
At this time, a guest approached the carriage and asked him, "Hey, you are driving the carriage, can you go to the south of the city with this car?" A few bucks! ”
Li Runfu nodded hurriedly, stretched out his finger and gestured to the number 5, and pointed to the carriage behind him, Ah Xing understood what Daddy meant: Go, 5 money, please get in the car. But a series of actions made the guest confused, "The one who drove the car asked you, why didn't you answer!" ”
Li Runfu was in a hurry, but he couldn't make much noise, and his gestures became even more chaotic.
The guest couldn't hear what he was saying, and couldn't understand his gestures, so he got impatient and waved his sleeves, "It's a mute!" He turned around and left. Li Runfu waved his hand behind him, his mouth opened several times, but he couldn't shout, and he threw the whip in his hand to the ground in annoyance.
Ah Xing hurriedly walked over, picked up the whip on the ground, then climbed into the carriage, put the whip aside, took out the water in the basket and handed it to him.
"Daddy, let's drink some water first!"
When Li Runfu saw his daughter, his face showed a look of frustration, he sighed heavily, and then said in a very soft voice: "I only ran twice in the morning...... The voice was very subtle, and it could only be heard when he was close to him.
He took the water and took a few sips.
Ah Xing saw the situation just now and knew what was going on, Daddy's throat couldn't make a sound, and many people's inquiries couldn't be answered, even if some people who had sat in the past knew the situation and got into the car, because they couldn't load 4 people for a long time, they couldn't drive, and they had no patience to wait and gave up the ride. So you can only run twice in a morning.
Usually he can run eight times, but now he can only run twice, and Li Runfu is naturally unhappy. So I didn't even have an appetite for eating, and after eating a few bites, I handed it to Ah Xing, shook my head, and sighed again.
Seeing him like this, Ah Xing was also very uncomfortable.
At this time, another guest came over: "Catch a car, how much money do you want to go to the east of the city?" ”
Li Runfu immediately raised his head when he saw a guest coming, and made a five-point gesture. The guest asked, "If I only go to Ewha Lane, can I have less?" ”
This is what gestures can't express clearly, Li Runfu nodded again, and gestured again, during which he forced himself to make a thin sound, and his face turned red, but the guest didn't understand what he meant.
Just as she was about to leave, Ah Xing suddenly said: "Uncle, go to the east of the city for 7 money, if you only go to Pear Blossom Lane, 6 money is fine." Uncle, please get in the car first, and you can go in a while" The voice was crisp, and the guest immediately turned back and got into the car.
Ah Xing turned to her father and smiled: "Daddy, let me be your little follower these days!" I am available to answer questions from guests. "First, I can help my father, and secondly, I can take a carriage to walk around, and every day I am either bored at home, or I am bored to learn needlework with my third aunt.
Li Runfu was very happy to see his daughter let the guests get into the car, but after listening to his daughter's words, he shook his head again, with a look of disapproval, he said softly: "What does a girl say when she shows her face!" With that, he asked Ah Xing to get out of the car and ask her to go home. After a while, a few more guests came, and some asked about the price and route, and Ah Xing answered them one by one. The four seats were quickly filled, and Li Runfu drove the carriage and signaled Ah Xing to go home quickly before leaving.
Ah Xing stood there and looked at the shadow of the car that was gradually moving away, really worried about her father. In this way, I can help my dad and keep my dad from worrying about himself. On the way back, A-Xing kept thinking about this question.
Li Yunfu didn't go home until dark.
His face was full of exhaustion and frustration, except for the one that Ah Xing helped in the afternoon, he only ran two more trips, and his income was less than one-third of the usual!
Although it is said that the throat will be better in a day or two, the question is whether there will be a similar situation in the future. How much of a loss is it if you lose your voice once in three days?
Li Runfu was so worried that his hair was almost white.
Ask someone to help you shout again? but the wages are at least two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver! Just shouted a few times, Li Runfu was really reluctant.
At this time, he couldn't help but think that it would be good if he had a son, and he could follow him to catch the car...... The daughter can't be like this, the daughter has to get married, and she shows up with herself, which is not good for her reputation.
He sighed, pulled the carriage into the small courtyard, and when he entered the door, he saw a person dressed as a boy standing in the courtyard with his back to him, but his daughter A-Xing was nowhere to be seen!
Li Runfu's heart tightened, who is this kid? What about daughters? What happened?
He got up in a hurry, strode forward, grabbed the boy, turned him around, and was about to ask, but after seeing the boy's face clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
With a black face, a pair of clear and smart big eyes, and the originally thin willow eyebrows were thickly drawn, even so he still recognized this person as his daughter A Xing.
At this time, Ah Xing looked at him with a smile and said, "Daddy, don't I look like a boy?" You should have no problem doing this! ”
Li Runfu laughed and let go of her, thinking to himself, his daughter is really getting older and more eccentric, and this method has to make her think of it!
He looked her up and down, a burlap blouse, a black cloth belt in the middle, and black trousers. The hair is combed into a bun on the top of the head like a boy, coupled with the size that has not yet grown and the deliberately modified face, he really looks like a boy!
"Daddy, this is the clothes I bought in the market when I came back, and when I came back, I dressed up like this and walked around the alley a few times, even the third aunt didn't notice me!" Ah Xing looked at her father and smiled proudly.
Li Runfu shook his head with a smile, if you don't look closely, you really can't see it.
Seeing that her father's expression was relaxed, Ah Xing stepped forward, squatted beside her father, raised her face and said softly: "Daddy, you want me to accompany you to catch the car!" I can really help Daddy, you can tell people that I'm your little nephew, and no one will ask me if I'm a man or a woman! I also want to go out for a walk, and I suffocate people at home every day. Only by saying this can Daddy soften his heart, she doesn't want to see Daddy look depressed anymore.
Li Runfu was still a little hesitant.
"Daddy, at least let me help you for a few days, and when your voice is better, I'll come back." I sit next to you every day, don't run around, don't cause trouble, and I won't be fine with you watching me! ”
Li Runfu couldn't help his daughter's repeated requests, plus he also needed someone to help him, he looked at Ah Xing, thought for a while, and then said softly: "Okay, you will come back when my voice is better!" ”
Ah Xing was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "Got it, Daddy!" ”
