Chapter 327: Peace Arrives
Cui'er and Lian Qingshan were full of hope for the future and were ready to rush forward with all their strength, but it was a different scene in the backing mountain thousands of miles away.
"Aunt Lu, what are you doing here?" The hunter who came down from the mountain, carrying the newly caught rabbit in his hand, watched the rich lady Lu in the village driving the ox cart to the road, and couldn't help but ask with good faith.
"Let's go to the town and take a look, it's not the beginning of the month again, go and see the situation of the shop for my daughter!" Aunt Lu said with a smile, although the ox cart did not have a tent, but the big cotton jacket that Aunt Lu was wearing was very thick, and she also wore a collar and hat made of leather, which was not cold at all.
Since Cui'er set off to the capital, the tea business in Shantun is taken care of by Second Brother Ye, but Second Brother Ye is busy with a lot of things, and the winery and dim sum shop have no time to take care of it, so Cui'er asked Aunt Lu to go to the town to take a look when she has nothing to do.
Aunt Lu waved the whip in her hand, but did not pump it on the cow, this cow is a precious thing, although Aunt Lu's family bought a cow, but she refused to call it ruthlessly, for fear of exhausting the cow.
Riding the ox cart slowly in the direction of the town, Aunt Lu first circled the ox cart to Cui'er's house, but in her heart she was thinking about the clothes made for Cui'er and the children, while thinking about what color and what kind of clothes to do, while walking slowly forward, without delaying anything.
"Aunt Lu, go to town?" When the ox cart passed by the door of Lian Qingshan's new house, Chai Jin, who was dressed in a navy green cotton robe, happened to walk out of the yard with a dirt basket, and greeted Aunt Lu with a smile.
I haven't seen him in the past few months, and Chai Jin's height seems to have risen a little higher, and he wears a brand-new cotton robe on his body. He looks very tall and handsome, and his face has some flesh slightly, like a young man who reads.
"Well, go to town!" Aunt Lu replied loudly, "Is your mother at home?" Do you have anything to bring? ”
"There's nothing to bring, if the eldest lady goes to the town, help go to the money shopkeeper to have a look. Is there a letter from my wife? Chai Jin said respectfully. After speaking, I didn't forget to give Aunt Lu a look.
"Okay, if Cui'er has a letter, I'll bring it back together!" Aunt Lu replied with a smile. Thinking about the time for Cui'er to go to the capital, she really should have sent a letter, and she was a little anxious in her heart, so she shook the reins. Let the cows go faster.
Thinking that Cui'er was still pregnant when she left, Aunt Lu's heart was a little burning. Counting the days with his fingers every day, making small clothes and shoes for his soon-to-be-born grandson, he is very busy.
After arriving in the town, Aunt Lu went directly to the tea shop of the money shopkeeper. I didn't even have time to say hello, so I hurriedly walked to the counter, "Money shopkeeper." Did you get a letter from the capital? ”
"It's Aunt Lu!" When the money shopkeeper saw that it was Aunt Lu, he stood up with a smile. "I haven't believed it yet, the capital is far away, Cui'er, they have to walk fast in a month, and it won't be too early to come and go, but they are both dart masters and guards along the way, and they will definitely be able to arrive safely." The shopkeeper was also worried about the safety of Cui'er and their group, but he couldn't show it in front of Aunt Lu, so he just comforted with a smile.
"I don't know what happened to the capital, this person is not familiar with the place, but don't have anything to do." When Aunt Lu heard that there was no letter, her mood suddenly became depressed, and she stood at the door with her mouth pursed and muttered.
"Don't worry, auntie, come in, drink some water first, and rest at my place, there is a convoy from outside today, maybe there will be a letter coming!" The shopkeeper of the money spoke, washed the teacup with hot water, and made a pot of tea for Aunt Lu to pour.
"Well, when you say that, I'm really thirsty!" Aunt Lu picked up the teacup, put it in her hand to keep it warm, and when the tea was not so hot, she sipped it gently.
The winter in the mountains is very early, and when the snow in the capital first started, it was already cold in the mountains, even if Aunt Lu wore a thick cotton jacket and a hat, she felt cold on her body, and it was just right to drink a cup of tea.
"By the way, shopkeeper Qian, the eldest son of your family, shouldn't you go to the show?" After Aunt Lu warmed up, she had a family affair with the money shopkeeper.
"Well, there is some money left over in this family, I think it's better to let Yufu continue to study, this kid has a smart head, even if he can't be the champion in the future, it's good to see the world more." The money shopkeeper said that his eldest son Yufu was very proud, the jade rich man is good-looking, and his brain is good, and he can see the twists and turns on the books, and he can also quote scriptures to say a lot of truths, so that the money shopkeeper has a lot of hope in his heart.
"That's how it should be, let Yufu try it when spring begins, maybe you can get a champion master to do it!" Aunt Lu also likes the child Yufu very much, and said with a smile on her sleeves.
"Don't you dare, if you can be admitted to a show, there will be green smoke on the ancestral grave!" The shopkeeper listened to Aunt Lu talking sincerely, his eyes were about to smile together, and suddenly he saw a convoy with a small flag coming in the distance.
"Look, the caravan is coming!" As he spoke, the money display cabinet ran out in a hurry, as if it was faster than a rabbit, as if the old god was persuading Aunt Lu just now that it was not him but someone else.
"I don't know if there's a letter from Cui'er!" When Aunt Lu heard this, she also hurriedly followed, and when she saw that the steward of the team was greeting the money shopkeeper, she handed over a very big burden, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the burden fixedly, and she couldn't wait to immediately take Cui'er's letter to report safety in her hand.
"Aunt Lu, I really let us wait, Cui'er has a letter!" The money shopkeeper took the burden from the steward's hand, and let Lezi entertain him well, while he turned around and pulled Aunt Lu to the back of the tea shop.
"It's great, I know that when I come back, it's safe!" Aunt Lu's eyes were slightly moist, and she only felt that the heart she had been carrying had finally let go.
"Auntie, don't worry about crying, let's see what Cui'er said!" Mrs. Qian heard the shouting of the shopkeeper and walked out from behind, just in time to see the shopkeeper hurriedly walking to the shop, and Aunt Lu was so happy that she began to wipe her tears.
"Auntie. Let's go into the house and read the letter! Mrs. Qian took Aunt Lu's hand and went to the backyard affectionately, in fact, Mrs. Qian's heart has been waiting for Cui'er to receive a letter from Beijing. All of a sudden, it seemed to be gone. It's been very uncomfortable for a while.
"Let's go, read the letter!" Aunt Lu thought that she didn't know much about words, so if she let the money shopkeeper read it. It was very good, and he followed them into the house.
The money shopkeeper opened the big burden and saw that there was a small bag of different sizes and shapes. But there was a small strip of cloth hanging on it, and the names of each family were written on it.
"The money shopkeeper's, Aunt Lu's, Lian Qinghe's, Qian Shanming's, and the Chai Jin ...... for the head of the family" The money shopkeeper turned over the big and small burdens one by one. You know where these burdens belong.
In this big and small baggage, it is Cui'er and the big girl Xiaohu, carefully selected gifts for everyone from the shops in the capital, and the money shopkeeper is an abacus with exquisite workmanship. What was given to Mrs. Qian was a delicate embroidered handkerchief, and what was given to the brothers Yufu and Yugui was a set of lake pens for each person.
brought to Aunt Lu. It was a plaster that cured her old cold legs and wiped her forehead and brought it to pine branches and locust branches. It is a piece of cloth each, and the belt and the flower branch and Zheng's are delicate rouge gouache...... There are other people's gifts, all bought according to their own preferences, and so on.
The money shopkeeper stretched out his hand to untie one of the signatures for himself, only to see that there were several small rectangular boxes and a thick letter in the baggage.
The money shopkeeper knew that the box should be a gift for himself, but he was not in a hurry to look at it, but opened the envelope.
"Brother Qian is like a face, we have successfully arrived in the capital, although the road is bumpy, but very safe......" The shopkeeper Qian looked at the letter at a glance, but he was anxious enough for Mrs. Qian and Aunt Lu next to him.
"How is it, Cui'er, have they arrived in the capital? Was it safe along the way? ”
"How's the kids? Have you found your parents? Aunt Lu and Mrs. Qian scrambled to ask, their words full of concern for Cui'er and them.
"It's all good, they arrived in Beijing safely, when I wrote this letter, I just arrived in the capital, living in the small courtyard that Cui'er's parents bought in the capital, the courtyard of Sanjin is very spacious, and I haven't started to find someone yet......" The money shopkeeper faced his daughter-in-law and Aunt Lu like a cannon to ask, but he answered very patiently, his face was full of smiles, obviously very happy that Cui'er had a letter.
"Amitabha, it's good to be safe...... Aunt Lu heard that Cui'er and they arrived in the capital safely, and folded her hands happily, "Bodhisattva bless, Cui'er is running thousands of miles with a big belly, just so that the big girl and the little tiger can find their parents." ”
"That is to say, Cui'er is really good to be a mother, and the Bodhisattva will bless them with peace and security." Mrs. Qian also nodded yes, looked in the direction of the capital, and said with a soft sigh.
"What's the sigh of, maybe now the big girl Xiaohu has found her father? The date on which this letter was written was more than a month ago. ”
"Help me see what else is in the letter?" Aunt Lu hurriedly took the burden with her name written on it, and after untying it, she also saw a letter, opened the envelope herself, and handed the letter to the money shopkeeper.
"Good, good...... Aunt Lu, don't worry! The money shopkeeper carefully opened the letter paper and read it to Aunt Lu word by word, it was cold and windy outside, but the atmosphere inside the room became hot because of the letter from Cui'er's family.
When Aunt Lu returned to the backer, she brought back the letters belonging to Lian Qinghe and Chai Jin, and after everyone received the letters and gifts, it was naturally lively and jubilant.
And three days after Chai Jin received the letter, he began to pack up according to Cui'er's instructions, and prepared to take the children left at home to follow Second Brother Ye's caravan into Beijing. (To be continued)
