Chapter 30: The Eccentric Qi Family (Part II)
The streets of Chang'an once again fell into a strange atmosphere, and the vendors who shouted on weekdays quietly guarded their stalls today.
There were only a few pedestrians on the road, and a few women passing by whispered, and Meng Yuyun vaguely heard that the Qi family was retribution from God.
Last night, before leaving, the master left a letter, which roughly mentioned the matter of the Qi family, and it is not a trivial matter to deceive the corpse.
The head is still a little groggy, so that Meng Yuyun didn't look at the road much, the road on Changxing Street has always been clean and tight, so he shouldn't step on any shit, right?
She was just about to lift her foot and step out of the next step, when a hoarse voice with a hint of joy came from her ears.
"Step! Step on! ”
She subconsciously retracted her feet, took a step back, rubbed her eyelids and looked in the direction of the sound, a woman in old and tattered clothes was squatting in the corner, her hair was very clean, but it was messy like a bird's nest, poked in the air, very funny.
"Step! Why don't you step on it? The woman saw the duck in her hand flying, her eyes were red and rushed over, and her two big palms were tightly clenched on Meng Yuyun's slender arms, and she was pinched with a slight force.
"Auntie, you hurt me!" Meng Yuyun glanced at the place where he was about to step on, and saw a puddle of dried medicine residue lying there quietly, which looked very abrupt in the clean street.
"You step on it! Why don't you step on it? The woman didn't pay attention to Meng Yuyun's words, but instead chattered vigorously.
Most of the people in her heart knew what kind of person she was, Meng Yuyun felt a little pitiful in her heart, and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain in her arm, she tried to smile and asked, "Auntie, where is your home, will I send you back?"
"If you continue to tear it like this, her hand will be useless!" The beautiful female voice sounded in Meng Yuyun's ears, and when she came to her senses, the heavy palm on her arm had been removed.
Two red marks were placed on the snow-white arm, and Meng Yuyun tried to move, pulling in pain. I guess I'm going to get bruises later.
It was the first time she faced Meng Yuyun directly, and a piece of her palm-sized face was ruined, and her original jade-like flawless face was made ugly, which was regrettable.
Meng Yuyun was also quietly looking at Zou Ran, she was a whole head taller than herself, wearing a goose yellow dress, snow-white skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, she was very good-looking.
Zou Ran glanced at the medicine residue on the ground and snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous, I want to harm others when I die!" ”
Meng Yuyun didn't know why, the woman's face was already crimson.
Zou Ran raised her eyebrows, took Meng Yuyun's hand, and walked in the direction of Qi's house.
When the woman saw this, she fled quickly. Meng Yuyun wanted to call her back, but was scolded back by Zou Ran.
"That woman is so bad, there is an old folk saying, if you throw the dregs of medicine taken by a seriously ill person on the road, if you are stepped on, the disease will be transferred to another person." Zou Ran looked at Meng Yuyun with some amusement, "Didn't you see a few people who went straight around that pile of medicine scum?" ”
Meng Yuyun twitched the corners of her mouth, she was only thinking about her own business, and she didn't look at the road at all, even if she looked at the road, she didn't know the legend of stepping on the scum.
"Thank you, girl."
Meng Yuyun raised her face and acted prettyly.
Zou Ran touched the girl's hair with a smile, "Your man's dress is really simple, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a female baby, next time I will give you a set of things, make sure you are a man." ”
"Let's go, I'll go to Qi's house too." Zou Ran actually didn't have much to do with the Qi family, if someone hadn't sent her over to protect this little girl, she wouldn't want to go on this trip.
When the two hurried to Qi's house, the master was standing in the coffin with a serious face, and the coffin that had been half sealed before had now been opened loudly. The white silk in the mourning hall was crumbling by the wind, and the whining cold wind penetrated into her body from the collar, and Meng Yuyun couldn't help but shrink her neck.
There were few people on the side, and Old Man Qi stood in the corner with an embarrassed face and a cane, staring at the coffin in the center of the hall.
Tang Nanyu was also guarding the side of the coffin, changing his previous appearance, as soon as he saw Meng Yuyun, he stretched out his hand to block her from the door, and the expression on his face was very ugly.
"What's wrong? The situation is bad? Meng Yuyun tried to push the man in front of him, but he stood firmly on the ground, not moving for half a minute.
"Well," Tang Nan's eyes fell on Zou Ran's face, "Why are you here." ”
Zou Ran chuckled, and Yin Ling'er's laughter made everyone's eyes fall on her.
Meng Yuyun blushed, after all, it was the person she brought, and she didn't have much respect for the deceased when she laughed in the mourning hall.
She pulled Zou Ran's sleeve and apologized to everyone: "Master Qi, this sister didn't mean it, I'm really sorry!"
Zou Ran, except for Meng Yuyun, there was no one present who didn't know. Old Man Qi's shrewd eyes stared directly at Zou Ran, and he hurriedly walked out of the corner with a cane.
Although Meng Yuyun's actions were redundant, it undoubtedly brought a lot of goodwill to Zou Ran, and she nodded appreciatively and stopped Meng Yuyun behind her.
There is too much hypocrisy and tactfulness between people, Zou Ran has a mind inexplicably, she doesn't want to pollute the little girl's eyes so early.
Obviously, Tang Nan wants to think the same way. He pulled Meng Yuyun and walked to the side, "Come here, let me tell you about the situation!" ”
Meng Yuyun didn't understand the situation a little, so she could only follow obediently.
"Miss Zou, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting more and more beautiful. How is the general lately? I heard that the general is going back to Chang'an in a few days? At that time, the contemptible people will come to visit, and I hope that Miss Zou will say a few words in front of the old general. ”
Old Man Qi is very realistic. Regarding the death of his granddaughter-in-law, he pretended to be sad on the surface, but he didn't feel much sadness. From the behavior of his eyes shining as soon as he saw Zou Ran, and he hurriedly ran to stammer, he could see what kind of person he was.
Zou Ran is the elderly daughter of General Zou, who has been pampered in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she is even more favored than the boy of the Zou family. Except for her sister, she is the most loved and pitied.
If you want to climb the big tree of the General's Mansion, as long as Zou Ran helps you speak, it will be much easier.
Zou Ran was clear, obviously disgusted in her heart, but there were still some superficial efforts to do, she nodded, "Father heard that the young lady of the Qi family died unfortunately, and asked Ran'er to come over to comfort and comfort Grandpa Qi." ”
