Chapter 22: Returning Home
The two of them walked, no one spoke, Wang Zhili still stood in front of him, letting Cheng Qing go more smoothly.
Wang Xiaoshan was pulling Xiaoyun and Niansi to stand in front of a brushed shop, his eyes were shining, as if he particularly wanted to, Xiaoyun said something to Wang Xiaoshan beside him, but Wang Xiaoshan shook his head and only looked at the craftsman in front of him doing his craft.
Liu Niansi's eyes were the sharpest, and when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Qing, he raised his hands high, for fear that Cheng Qing would not see it and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng..."
As soon as he shouted, Xiaoyun and Wang Xiaoshan also noticed that Wang Xiaoshan happily ran towards Cheng Qing, pulled his finger and pointed to the shop that had just been drawn, and said, "Aunt Shuang, it's very powerful, take a look!" ”
"Okay, good, slow down, slow down..."Cheng Qing has always been unable to refuse Wang Xiaoshan, even if he is not interested at all, he still accompanies him to stand in front of the shop and looks at it intently.
The owner of the shop is an elderly uncle, and when he saw the guests coming, he shouted very enthusiastically: "I think this little master wants, you are his father, why don't you buy one for him?" ”
"The boss misunderstood, my son-in-law has not yet left the cabinet, and this little master and my son-in-law are not the relationship between his son's father." Xiaoyun knew that the boss must have made a mistake, so he cleared up their relationship in time.
The boss smiled embarrassedly, and handed the little white rabbit that had just been made to Wang Xiaoshan: "It's me who is abrupt, this is an apology for the little master." ”
After Wang Xiaoshan saw it, he looked up at Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing nodded, Wang Xiaoshan happily took it, and said thank you politely.
"Bring me three more, whatever you want."
"Oh, okay!" The boss happily started to do it.
Wang Zhili walked over silently at this time, did not participate in them but stood outside, saw them take the wire one by one, took out the money from his pocket, and paid the boss.
"No, I'll pay for it myself." Cheng Qing didn't appreciate it and asked Xiaoyun to take out his purse and pay.
When Xiaoyun was still holding the purse, Wang Zhili said to himself: "Let's go, it's getting late, it's not safe to go back." ”
Wang Xiaoshan looked at his father and then at Cheng Qing beside him, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the two of them.
Cheng Qing was helpless, asked Xiaoyun to put away his wallet, and then followed Wang Zhili out of here.
No one spoke along the way, Wang Xiaoshan also learned to look at his eyes, eating by himself, looking at the back of his father Wei'an in front of him from time to time, and then looking at Cheng Qing, who was eating candy next to him but did not look very happy, silently holding Cheng Qing's hand and walking on the road.
Soon, the group walked to the entrance of the town, a carriage was parked at the entrance of the town, Wang Zhili stepped forward to talk to the coachman, thinking that it could be negotiated, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhili came back with a black face.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qing was puzzled: "Is it too much to ask for money?" ”
Wang Zhili shook his head and stood at the entrance of the town, his brows furrowed.
Seeing that Wang Zhili was reluctant to speak, Cheng Qing asked Xiaoyun to go up and ask clearly, and after Xiaoyun went up, he talked to the coachman, and then came down and said to Cheng Qing: "Strange, the coachman said that he was waiting here to pick up his son." ”
Cheng Qing looked dazed: "Pick me up?" ”
"Well, that's what the coachman said."
Before Cheng Qing could continue to ask, Wang Zhili spit out a name: "Qiao Bin, Qiao Bin asked him to wait here." ”
How could anyone be so ghostly? Cheng Qing was really speechless, no wonder Wang Zhili's expression was so ugly just now, but in this place, there was no other carriage except this carriage, which made Cheng Qing very unhappy.
"Aunt Shuang, who is Qiao Bin?" Wang Xiaoshan mentioned it very ignorantly.
"Someone who doesn't matter." Wang Zhili answered for Cheng Qing first, he stopped and watched, and then said to Cheng Qing: "I'll go to other places to see if there are any other carriages." ”
"Hmm." Cheng Qing nodded, took Wang Xiaoshan to sit down on the stone on the side, and waited for Wang Zhili.
As soon as Wang Zhili wanted to go to the town, he saw a carriage coming towards him, Wang Zhili gave way to the side, and saw a man poking his head out of the carriage and saying to Cheng Qing: "Cheng Gongzi, why are you still here?" ”
"Brother Childe!" Cheng Qing stood up excitedly: "What about Lifeng?" ”
"He said that he was tired and wanted to go back first, so I bought him a lot of delicious food and then brought it to him, and I was buying it and planning to go back." Hu Min explained.
Cheng Qing saw that his carriage was very large but there were not many people, so he dared to ask: "We can't find a carriage to go back here, if it's convenient, can you take us home?" ”
"Of course." Hu Min nodded: "It just so happens that most of the people followed the bird back first, you get into the carriage, I will let the groom send you back first." ”
With the carriage to go back, Cheng Qing happily took the family into the carriage, and Wang Zhili's expression was still not very good-looking.
After Cheng Qing's carriage left, the coachman of the carriage, which had been parked, immediately drove the carriage away.
"What do you say? Riding back in another carriage? Qiao Bin had a dark face: "Didn't I tell you to drive all the carriages away?" ”
"Young master, it's not the carriage that stopped over there, it's a carriage that came suddenly, Cheng Gongzi knew the people in the carriage, and then left."
"What kind of people?"
"I don't know, it's too dark to see clearly, and the accent seems to be someone from here. And that carriage didn't look like a carriage that ordinary people could use, I also heard Cheng Gongzi call the people in the carriage, and then they left. ”
Qiao Bin waved his hand to let the coachman go down, and after a look of inevitable contemplation, he snorted coldly, summoning the favored concubine, what is the difference between those who can surrender casually and those who sell?
On the carriage, Cheng Qing introduced Hu Min to everyone, Wang Zhili heard that the owner of the carriage was the husband of a friend of Cheng Qing's son, and his expression improved a lot, at least he would not have a black face.
The carriage that left Feng was really comfortable, even if it was a shaky road, the inside of the carriage was still very flat, and I didn't feel a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Qing looked at the tea set still in the carriage, and said sarcastically: "Isn't it too much to leave Feng?" With such fine porcelain in this broken carriage, do you think it must be worthy of his taste? ”
"The little bird likes it, he will be dizzy when he sits in the carriage, and the dizziness will only get better after drinking tea, and sometimes he runs around and needs to sit in the carriage for a long time, so he makes people prepare these tea sets all year round, otherwise it is not good to forget."
"He's your spoil." Cheng Qing sneered: "There was no such problem before, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, I see that he will want you to hug him when he goes out immediately!" ”
"Then I'd do too." Hu Min was not embarrassed to say at all.
Cheng Qing glanced at him and said that he would no longer talk to him.
The carriage was shaking, and Wang Xiaoshan leaned on Cheng Qing at first to listen to him, but then his eyelids began to fight, and he slowly closed it.
Wang Zhili watched him fall asleep, wanting to wake him up and let him hold on for a while, his idea was instantly perceived by Cheng Qing, and then Cheng Qing glared at him angrily, reached out and put Wang Xiaoshan's head carefully on his lap, and drove the person sitting here to the opposite side, so that Wang Xiaoshan could put his legs on the seat of the carriage, which was equivalent to lying on the bed.
Wang Zhili was driven to the opposite side and sat up with Hu Min.
Hu Min was an ordinary farmer before he went to the capital, and when he saw Wang Zhili, he seemed to see a fellow practitioner, and unconsciously began to talk about the recent agricultural affairs.
Wang Zhili thought that Hu Min was the eldest young master of an ordinary good family at first, but he didn't expect to talk to him about such a thing, so he also said a few more words, and the two hit it off, but they really met a confidant.
Cheng Qing sat in the carriage, protecting Wang Xiaoshan, letting him sleep more comfortably, listening to Hu Min and Wang Zhili talking, Wang Zhili, who originally thought that he didn't have much to say, seemed to have opened some floodgates, and the two chatted happily.
Most of them are about farming, Cheng Qing thinks he has read a lot of books, but when he listens to them talk about farming, he still feels a little ignorant, and sometimes it sounds more like a feeling in the clouds, so he simply closes his eyes and no longer listens to them.
Seeing Cheng Qing close his eyes, Wang Zhili slowly lowered his voice, and it didn't take long for the two of them to speak, and there were only a few breaths left in the entire carriage.
After arriving, Wang Zhili woke up Wang Xiaoshan, who was lying down, and Xiaoyun woke Cheng Qing up.
Cheng Qing thanked Hu Min and watched Hu Min leave before going home along the familiar road.
Wang Xiaoshan and Wang Zhili sent Cheng Qingxiaoyun and Niansi home before walking home.
"Childe, did you quarrel with Brother Wang?" Xiaoyun asked cautiously, for fear that Gongzi would not be able to get along with her.
Cheng Qing was puzzled: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"I think it's awkward between you, it looks like you're after a fight, right?" Xiaoyun pulled the thoughts around him.
Nian Si nodded: "It's a little bit." ”
"What am I arguing with him about?" Cheng Qing retorted: "It's just that something unpleasant happened, go and boil water, I'm a little tired today, I want to soak in water." ”
"Huh." Liu Niansi immediately went to the kitchen to boil water when he heard this, but Xiaoyun still looked at Cheng Qing with an inquiring expression, as if he wanted to see him through.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"I want to ask, the question that Xiaoshan asked."
"Hill?"
"Well, who is that Qiao Bin?"
Cheng Qing thought of Qiao Bin, and his brows naturally furrowed: "I was walking on the road with Wang Zhili, and the man accidentally bumped into me, I said that it was okay but he still pestered me, and Wang Zhili said a few words, and we left." This is such a relationship, Pingshui meets? ”
Unexpectedly, he didn't stay with Childe for a while, Childe was bullied, and in an instant, Xiaoyun's expression was difficult to see, and he looked at Cheng Qing: "That Son, is there anything wrong?" ”
"What can I do?" Cheng Qing said helplessly: "Okay, don't mention this matter again, I don't want to have anything to do with him." ”
