Chapter 46: Luoqiao Town
At first, it was still very dark, and as we walked, the sky gradually became brighter, and at this time the group of four people was already on the way up the mountain.
The road from Taoyuan Village to Luoqiao Town is not smooth, you have to walk up the hill first, then a long way down the mountain, and then over a hill before you can get to the town.
When Du Yunnuan followed Lian Ruolan and the others to the top of the mountain, Du Yunyan suddenly pointed ahead, "Little sister, look, the sun is out!" ”
Du Yunnuan looked forward.
There are many mountains here, usually when I look into the distance when I am in the village, I feel that the mountains are steep, the green mountains are faint, now standing on the top of this mountain and looking into the distance, the morning mist has not completely dispersed, and on the top of the mountain in the distance, the sun is rising little by little.
At first, there was only a little red yellow bright spot, and then it slowly became larger, and finally jumped out of the top of the mountain, illuminating the sea of clouds on the horizon, and making the sea of clouds also dyed with a glow.
Du Yunnuan looked at the rising sun and felt a long-lost, vigorous vitality.
"Alright, the sun is out, we have to hurry up, or we will be scattered in the town." Lian Ruolan urged, Du Yunnuan hurriedly retracted his gaze and followed them down the mountain.
This time, the slope down the mountain is much longer than the one to Ishita Village, and it is not a straight slope down, but a zigzag route, which is also because this side is steeper than the one that goes to Ishita Village.
After going down the mountain, walking through a village, going up the mountain again, and walking a flat road after going down the mountain, Du Yunnuan noticed the stone monument of the town under Du Yunyan's prompting.
On the stele are written the three words Luoqiao Town.
At this time, the sun has risen to a high level, because it is a market day, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going at the gate of the town.
Du Yunnuan followed Lian Ruolan to the entrance of the town, and heard someone calling her, and when she turned her head, it was Du Yunlan.
"Brother!" Du Yunnuan ran over.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Du Yunlan had a gentle smile on his face, he reached out and touched Du Yunnuan's head, and then held her, "I know that my little sister will come to the town today, so I specially waited here, so that my little sister can see my brother as soon as she comes to the town, isn't that good?" ”
Du Yunnuan immediately had a big smile on his face, "Okay! ”
After such a while, even Ruolan and the others came over, and Du Yunlan shouted one by one, "Mother, second uncle, Yan'er, father is waiting in the town, I'll take you over first." ”
"Brother Lan has been waiting for us here, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Second uncle, I didn't wait long, I often walk this road, I know how many hours it will take, and I will come over in time."
Li Cui's face relaxed a little when she heard this, "It's true, Brother Lan often walks this way." ”
Du Yunyan glanced at her mother and muttered in a low voice, "Mother, are you stupid?" The fourth cousin and the fourth uncle themselves often come in the morning, how can they not know how long it will take? Speaking of which, we are actually not walking fast, maybe the four cousins have arrived, let's take the little sister, and we won't go so fast to take care of the little sister. ”
Li Cui didn't move her head, and patted Du Yunyan's arm directly, "Don't say a word, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”
Du Yunyan closed her mouth.
Du Liansheng and Du Yunlan rented a house in the town to live, this room is not large, much smaller than the Du family's house in the village, there are two rooms, one is used as a kitchen and a place to eat, and the other is a place for father and son to read and sleep.
Du Yunnuan entered the house and took a look, and found that this place was not only narrow, but also a little dark, but Du Liansheng's father and son seemed to be used to it.
Du Liansheng hugged Du Yunnuan, early this morning, he had just shaved his beard clean, his chin was bare, and he finally stopped stabbing people.
"Daddy, you live in such a small place!" Du Yunnuan sighed.
Du Liansheng laughed, "It's okay, anyway, there is a place to eat, drink and sleep, I usually read books in the private school, and it takes my eyes to come back to read books." ”
Du Yunnuan suddenly, so it was.
Then they divided into two ways, Lian Ruolan and Du Yunlan took Du Yunnuan to go shopping and buy things, and Du Liansheng took Li Cui and Du Yunyan to meet with the family he fancied.
Du Yunnuan was led by Du Yunlan and followed Lian Ruolan to the market.
Lian Ruolan has embroidered several pairs of handkerchiefs these days, and also embroidered a folding fan of an orchid sketch, planning to sell it in the cloth workshop in the town, and then pull some cloth for Du Yunnuan to make new clothes.
So a few people went to the cloth mill first.
The owner of the cloth workshop knew Lian Ruolan, and when he saw her, he greeted her with a smile on his face, "Du Siniang, are you here to buy cloth today?" ”
Lian Ruolan had a smile on her face, "What kind of big pieces have I been lazy to embroider recently, so I embroidered a few handkerchiefs and a folding fan, and the shopkeeper Luo may accept it?" ”
The smile on the shopkeeper Luo's face suddenly deepened, "Collect!" Harvest! Harvest! ”
"Recently, several young ladies in the town have disliked that the pattern of the handkerchief in my cloth workshop is not fresh, and our little son wants to change to a new folding fan, but I haven't seen any good fan, the handkerchief and fan embroidered by Du Siniang must be fresh."
Lian Ruolan showed a satisfied smile on her face, whether the young lady in the town really wanted a new handkerchief, whether the little son of the Luo family behind the shopkeeper really wanted a silk fan, even Ruolan didn't care, the shopkeeper Luo said this, which showed that he really wanted to receive Lian Ruolan's embroidery.
Even Ruolan was very confident in her one-handed embroidery, and she took out her embroidery from the basket in her hand, a total of four bat handkerchiefs and an orchid sketch folding fan.
The patterns of the handkerchief are red plum reflecting snow, cat playing peony, dragonfly Lihe and dragon group golden chrysanthemum, although even Ruolan embroidered quickly, but the pattern on each handkerchief is lifelike.
Shopkeeper Luo couldn't put it down when he saw this handkerchief, and hurriedly offered his own price, and when he saw Lian Ruolan showing a satisfied smile, the smile on his face deepened.
"Shopkeeper Luo, I want to pull a few pieces of cloth for my little daughter to make a summer coat this time, do you have any suitable fabric for a little girl to wear, the color is beautiful, and the fabric is lighter?"
"Yes, there are some, Du Siniang wait a minute."
The shopkeeper of Na Luo carefully put away the handkerchief and folding fan in his hand, and then took out a few pieces of cloth and unfolded them to show Lian Ruolan, "Du Siniang, you see this is the fabric that only came in from Jinling this year, it is light and soft, and it is a skirt for the little girl, it is elegant and beautiful, and it will never be wrong." ”
Lian Ruolan touched the fabric in her hand and nodded, "It's really good." ”
She turned her head and called Du Yunnuan, "Nannan, come and see, is it okay for my mother to buy you this cloth to make clothes?" ”
Du Yunnuan came over to take a look, the one that Lian Ruolan touched was light green onion, the fabric felt light and soft, and it must be very comfortable to wear in summer.
