Chapter 32: On the Road
After saying goodbye to Jun Wuwu and Wen Xu. Changning walked alone on the bustling commercial street. The streets are full of cars and horses, and pedestrians are like a tide. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Whether it is a dignitary or a small person in the market, they are busy stocking up on holiday supplies. Prepare for a lively Mid-Autumn Festival.
I didn't know much about the years in the valley before. I just heard the pedestrians on the road talking, and it turned out that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming. "It's just in time. I hope that my appearance will not bring unhappiness to others. ”
Changning muttered to himself at the bright sky. Because every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the major families will send women who have not left the pavilion to worship at the Moon God Niangniang Temple to pray for the blessings of the local people. In the past, when the second aunt was there, the second aunt went. Later, after the second aunt got married, she went by herself. I don't know who I'm going to send this year?
It stands to reason that he has no grandson to grow up, and he is not in the place where his second sister Qingwu should be replaced.
After walking around for almost a pillar of incense, Changning saw rows of two-wheeled donkey carts parked on the side of the road. This is exactly the goal of Changning, the means of transportation that Changning is ready to find. Although you can also use the occult technique to step on the clouds and run back to the clouds by yourself. However, from Pingzhou to Yancheng, it is not as sparsely populated as it is from the Lianyun Mountains. Almost all of them are official roads. It's easy to lead people to sin when you go on your own road.
Thinking that he was arrested by human traffickers at the beginning, he still had palpitations. I can only say that I am lucky that I can wait for others to escape.
"Do you have any smoke from here?" He Ning's tone is sincere, his smile is generous and decent, and his eyes are clear and bright, as if he can see enough to see through people's hearts. Although he is only ** years old, he is young, but he has a leisurely and distant bearing, which makes people dare not underestimate him.
Changning has been practicing Tai Chi for a long time, and since the last time he communicated with nature, the temperament of the whole person has become closer to nature. Every gesture can make people feel inducted, or leisurely and distant, indifferent, or with the meaning of dust.
"The old man is preparing to return to Smoke City. The girl wants Yunyan City. An old man with a plain but clean round face ran over in surprise. The attitude is not too flattering, nor does it come across as cold.
"Is the old man from Yancheng?" Although Changning had a good impression of the coachman, he still smiled and continued to ask.
"That's right. Lao Yu grew up in Yancheng since he was a child, and his family lives near Nanshan in Yancheng. I ran a long distance yesterday, and I was preparing to go back directly if I didn't catch a guest today. The round-faced old man explained calmly, not nervous because of Changning's question.
Changning looked at him, and it seemed that he was a steady coachman, because it would be a good choice. "When will it arrive?"
"It should be there before the hour. The little girl will see if she needs to go again tomorrow. When you arrive in Yancheng, you may not be able to find the inn because it is too late. The round-faced old man pondered for a while and solemnly persuaded.
"Didn't you say you were going to rush back to the clouds this year?" Changning had a good impression of him. We will not compromise the safety of our customers because of our own interests.
"Since you have received business. It doesn't hurt to leave a day late. The round-faced old man smiled sincerely.
"Huh. No need. I'm going home. There will be a place to stay then. Thank you very much! Changning smiled and said his gratitude. Walked the donkey cart.
"The cost of this journey is two taels of silver." The round face looked at Changning with a smile.
Changning was not angry. It is a good habit to negotiate the price first and then make a sale, "I will give you five taels when I arrive." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then arched his hand to Changning and said, "Thank you girl." Let's hit the road. So saying, he also sat on the donkey cart, and gently whipped the donkey's back, and the yellow donkey jogged quite spiritually. Go! ”
The two of them and a donkey drifted away from each other in the envious gaze of the other coachmen.
Changning pulled down the curtain made of unknown straw rope. so that the dust does not fly on your head. Although it is not as comfortable as a horse-drawn carriage, the donkey cart is quite stable.
"Why did the girl go back to Yancheng alone." After walking for several miles, it was getting dark. There are no pedestrians on the road anymore. It seemed that it was too quiet, and the old man asked casually.
"I used to live at a relative's house, but now the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I'm going back to Yunyun for the festival." Changning said casually.
"The girl is also rushing back to Yun to watch the theatrical performance, right?" The old man asked with some understanding.
"What theatrical performance? I've been out for a long time, but I haven't heard anything about it. I didn't have it before. Changning asked in surprise.
The Mid-Autumn Festival City in Yancheng is quite lively. Ordinary unmarried teenagers and girls will take this opportunity to come out to participate in the temple fair. Over time, some merchants gradually saw the business opportunities and set up all kinds of entertainment, such as guessing fans, inviting theater troupes, setting off fireworks, juggling and other performances. Now the Mid-Autumn Festival is very lively every year, and adults and children will come out to stroll.
Changning didn't like to go out before. In addition to sitting in the carriage, the Yunyue God Niangniang Temple prayed for blessings according to the etiquette taught by the master of ceremonies, and I haven't gone shopping yet. But I haven't really been in the cloud though. But I've heard a lot. I don't think there are any theatrical performances, right? If you have your own, you will definitely take a look.
"This is the third lady of our Yancheng Liu family." It's quite honorable.
Changning was completely shocked by this sentence.
"I think it will add a lot of fun to the Mid-Autumn Festival. My daughter has been looking forward to this for a long time. The old man said with great interest, "I heard that many talented women have been invited from all over the country to come to this theatrical performance, not only the piano, chess, poetry, and painting, but also songs and dances to watch." The most anticipated is the martial arts performance, and I don't know if I can learn a little bit of the essence of martial arts from it. I heard that if there is a girl who feels that her talent is good, she can also sign up for a performance. If you can make it to the top 10, there will be prizes to be distributed. I think the girl looks very good, and in addition to being outstanding, she can also perform on stage. ”
Changning didn't hear the next word, she sat there as if struck by lightning, her face became pale, her expression was in a trance, her eyes were blank, and her body trembled a little. The whole person is like a flower bathed in strong wind and rain, giving people a sense of vulnerability and helplessness. Holding the window railing of the trunk tightly, there was bloodshot on his hands unconsciously, but Changning didn't realize it.
All she had in her mind was the old man's words, "Our Yancheng Liu family has the third lady" The words were constantly echoing, stimulating Changning's fragile spirit at this time. Like she was in a state of chaos in her mind at this time.
Could it be that Yao's has become a flat wife?
How is this possible! How is this possible!
Changning thought that Jiang might be sitting alone in the room crying with a disillusioned face at this time, and he only felt that his heart was shattered. The woman who always has a gentle smile, how could Liu Wenyu treat her like this?
Changning didn't even realize that he called his father with the word Liu Yu in his heart, but he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
and his mature but sensitive brother, thinking of his dull eyes than when he saw the breeze, he only felt a pang in his heart.
