Du Ruo felt that he was acting there alone, and Song Ju'an was sitting under the stage sipping melon seeds and drinking tea, watching very pleasantly.
She was like a mouse seeing a cat, and when she saw Song Ju'an, she panicked, and even forgot how to escape.
She slammed her head on the table a few more times, disappointed in herself.
I wanted to think about his badness, and after thinking about it, in addition to his indifference and disgust, he couldn't think of anything that made her hate itch for a while!
After sitting for a while, she staggered back to sleep, feeling that the day was really tiring.
She couldn't do anything about Shuangshuang's affairs, and Xiao Guan was useless except shouting to see her sister outside the county office. The gift box sent to Song's house that day, of course, was not returned, it was given away in vain!
All the things in the teahouse were packed out, and Du Ruo began to move his things inside.
She and Xiaoguan moved a few times, and Su Mingyang walked in with her things.
"Sister Rulan, what are you doing? Why move these things? Su Mingyang asked strangely.
"Mingyang, it's really time for you to come!" Du Ruo was very happy to see him, "I bought the teahouse next to me, and now I want to move some things there, here, continue to do some sewing and mending work to make some money, otherwise I will starve to death if I run out of food in the future." ”
Su Mingyang was very happy to hear this, put the things in his hand on the table, and said, "I bought some fruits, and there are pickles pickled by my mother with toon sprouts, and I will bring them to you to taste." ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
"I'll help you move!" He took a wooden frame and a stool from Du Ruo's hand.
"Then be careful!"
Not all of the things were moved, and some of them were left in the original shop.
Although the teahouse was empty and dilapidated, it was very empty, and she planned to buy some light gauze curtains to hang up and decorate in the future.
Tables, chairs, and counters were originally available in the teahouse, and she also bought them from the boss at a low price, saving a lot of money.
It's just that some things related to embroidery, such as: embroidery frame, embroidery bandage, needlework, fabric, etc., she also has to prepare, which is also a lot of expense.
Thinking of these was worrying, Du Ruo carried two stools and followed Xiao Guan into the teahouse, looked at Xiao Guan's sweat, and said to him: "Take a break!" ”
Su Mingyang put down his things, turned around and glanced at the entire teahouse, then looked up at the railing on the second floor, and unconsciously smiled on his face, "Sister, when did you buy this place?" ”
"It's not long before you sit down and rest! There are a lot of homework in the school, and you're tired, right? Du Ruo got up with a smile, walked to the other side and lifted the pot on the counter, and poured a few cups of herbal tea, "Drink it!" ”
"Thank you, Sister Rulan, I'm not tired, I'm just brainstorming." Su Mingyang replied, his gaze quickly swept over Du Ruo's face, and he served tea again.
There are some words in my stomach that I want to ask, but I don't know how to speak.
A few days ago, he learned from his mother that the Song family had moved into the city, and that Mr. Song was currently working as an errand boy in the Yamen. He had also gone to the Song Mansion to visit his teacher.
When the three of them were resting, a man with a sword in his hand walked in from outside, the man looked very gloomy, stared at the three of them with sharp and cold eyes, and said suspiciously: "Isn't this a teahouse?" ”
"It used to be a teahouse, but the business was not good, so it is no longer dry." Du Ruo said with a smile.
"Can you ask for a cup of tea?" The man placed his sword on the table and sat down at another table.
"Absolutely." Du Ruo got up, brought the teapot over, poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.
The man drank tea, stared at the three of them a few more times, and asked her in a cold voice, "What is the relationship between you and the master in the yamen?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Du Ruo was stunned by his question.
"Weren't you two husband and wife before?"
Du Ruo looked at him suspiciously, who is this person? The words were reversed and strange, "Yes before, but our relationship has been broken, and we have long since separated, if you have any grievances and grudges with him, or owe you money, and you have a debt, look for him, don't look for me." ”
Thinking of Song Ju'an, she unconsciously got angry.
Su Mingyang's gaze left her face, and her heart relaxed a lot.
He wanted to ask her, but someone happened to ask on his behalf.
The man laughed, the muscles of his face twitching, and the look was even more terrifying.
"It's really ruthless and unrighteous!" He took his sword in his hand and got up to leave.
When the others left, Du Ruo, Su Mingyang, and Xiaoguan looked at each other, I don't know why, so what did this person do? Why did you come here to ask these words?
Du Ruo held the two cups in his hand and gently slammed them together, thinking silently in his heart.
That person knew her and Song Ju'an, he knew that this was a teahouse, he must have been here before, and he came here to drink tea today, since he wanted to ask her, why didn't he go to the shop next to him?
Probably not spying on her......
This little thing passed quickly, and the three of them continued to move and pack their things.
By the time the things were put aside, it was already ten in the evening, and the sky was bright and red, and the tired birds were speeding through a figure in the air.
Du Ruo couldn't go, and he was tired and didn't want to cook, so he invited the two of them to eat on the street.
It was a small stall set up by a vendor on the side of the street, white smoke was rising from the cauldron, the flames were licking the bottom of the pot, and people were sitting at several tables, eating lively.
The number of pedestrians on the street is also gradually increasing, and in April, the weather is neither dry, nor dry, nor hot or cold, and there are more people who come out at night.
Du asked for three bowls of noodles, a plate of cold vegetables and a plate of fried meat, and asked the two of them if they would eat anything else, Su Mingyang and Xiaoguan shook their heads at the same time, knowing how to save her money.
"Will it delay your reading?" Du Ruo asked Su Mingyang uneasily.
"No, it's okay to go back late." Su Mingyang hurriedly said.
"That'll be fine."
"Do you have any menial work to do tomorrow? I'll come over and help. Su Mingyang asked again.
"Tomorrow...... Tomorrow I will go to Gunan Town to find someone, there is no work in the shop. ”
"Who is Sister Du looking for?" Tubular question.
"Find a few people who used to work with me in Yunshui Embroidery Village, this teahouse...... No, this teahouse has to be named, I can't do this business by myself, I have to find a few people to help me, it just so happens that they are experienced, but I don't know if they want to come. "I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know what Feng Ning and the others are doing, whether they can come.
A few people chatted while eating, and the sky slowly darkened.
After eating, Xiao Guan was unhappy again, and muttered: "I don't know if my sister is in prison, will she be bullied, I want to go in and have a look, but the people from the yamen won't let me!" ”
"Don't think too much about it, one day I'll be free, and I'll definitely be able to see your sister." Du Ruo comforted him.
"Sister Rulan, what's wrong with Shuangshuang girl?" Su Mingyang listened for a while, and some didn't understand why Guan Shuangshuang was in prison.
Du Ruo glanced at Xiao Guan, and had no choice but to tell him what had happened.
After listening to this, Su Mingyang also helped comfort Xiao Guan for a sentence or two.
"Let's walk around the street to eliminate food, and when we go back, we have nothing to do but sleep, and it costs gas to sit with the lights on." Du Ruo proposed.
"I'm not going, I'm feeling bad!" The tubule began to wipe away tears again.
"Then you go back first, take the key." Du Ruo handed him the key.
After Xiao Guan left, Du Ruo and Su Mingyang were at ease on the street, looking at the shops on both sides as they walked, the lights on the street were lit, talking and laughing, and people coming and going were pleasant.
"Sister, I told you before, don't have too much contact with the people of Chunfeng Pavilion, that Shuangshuang girl's behavior, words and deeds are really uneducated, and getting along with them is harmful and useless, but now it has become true." Su Mingyang said to her in a gentle voice.
Du Ruo smiled, "People are expensive and self-disciplined, are you afraid that I will become like them?" ”
"Sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I'm just worried about you."
"It's not a deep friendship, you don't have to think about it to have fun talking about gossip on weekdays." Du Ruo said.
Not far ahead, the water was sparkling, and the light from the pavilions on the opposite shore cast itself on the water, dotted with stars, and shattered with the movement of the oars. The people who crossed the river got into the boat, and the boatman propped up his oars and went to the other side.
The two of them walked slowly to the water's edge and stopped, looking at the opposite bank, there was a melodious flute sound in the pavilion over there, and many men and women were laughing and playing, very happy.
"Why don't we get on the boat and sit for a while?" Su Ming said.
Du Ruo withdrew his gaze from the opposite side and glanced around, and there were indeed many small boats swaying on the water.
"Okay, it's okay to sit." Du Ruo walked with him towards the place where the boat was parked in front.
got on the boat, the boatman stood on one end to support the boat, and Du Ruo and Su Mingyang sat on the other end.
The water surface is very close, reach out and tease, a little cool, the water ripples and the breeze blows, the willow branches on both sides swing gently, and the fatigue in the day is gone all of a sudden.
"Do you want me to sing? Only 20 points more will be charged. The boatman said to the two.
"I wonder what song you know?" Su Mingyang looked back and asked with a smile.
Du Ruo had hardly been here at night, and he hadn't heard much about it.
"Lovers like you who come out for a tryst at night are listening to love songs!" The boatman laughed heartily.
"We're not lovers, so you can just pick and sing a tune to listen to!" Du Ruo explained.
The boatman hurriedly said 'sorry,' cleared his throat, and began to sing.
The boat drove slowly along the waterfront, and the night situation on both sides of the waterfront was clearly visible, Fengling County was not a rich and prosperous place, but the people's livelihood was quite stable.
The two of them sat there looking at the shore, plucking a handful of water from time to time to feel the coolness.
Du Ruo stretched out her hand and dipped it in the water, and when he was not paying attention, she sprinkled it on his face, afraid that he would fight back, so she sat back and sat away from him.
Su Mingyang turned his head to look at her, just pursed his lips and smiled, and did not splash her with water in turn.
"Playing too much cold water is not good for your body." He said.
Du Ruo smiled and shook his head, "Mingyang, your two sisters in the family, you must have been very good at caring about girls since you were a child." ”
She suddenly remembered something and asked him, "I don't know where your second sister Huiniang got married?" Last year, she always thought that she and Song Ju'an had become married.
