Chapter 37: Rumors of the Xue Family
It hurt so much that I couldn't walk on my right foot at all.
After a long while, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and leaned on the wall, stood up little by little on his left foot, and halfway picked a flat shoulder that he didn't know who carelessly left behind, and turned to Rongsheng Street step by step.
At this time, it should not be the time of curfew, and there are still pedestrians wandering around Rongsheng Street.
Lu Yang was still wearing the clothes that the old bustard of Xianle Lou asked the little girl to borrow the clothes she was wearing, and she was originally going to sew new clothes for Lu Yang, but she had only been in that small courtyard for two days, and the dress had not been sewn yet, so she was unlucky enough to be snatched by Master Liu.
The set of clothes that the little girl lent her was about to be reluctant to wear on weekdays, it looked like a brand new one, the upper body was a turmeric collared narrow-sleeved short jacket, covered with pink armor, and a few magnolia flowers were embroidered at the hem, and the lower body was a blue checkered skirt with cotton pants and a pair of thick-soled cotton shoes on the feet.
This garment, apart from the dust that rubbed on it in the dungeon, generally looked very clean.
But who told Lu Yang that his calf was injured, and his limping when he walked naturally caused some passers-by to look sideways frequently.
Lu Yang didn't know if the 'crime' she had committed in Lingqiu had already reached Datong Mansion, so he didn't dare to look at anyone, so he just lowered his head and walked forward.
On the way, she saw a shop selling the four treasures of the study, she looked in, and there seemed to be only one honest-looking young man inside, so she planned to try her luck and bet that this young man did not know about the arrest of the clerk.
She is now in a hurry to treat her leg cold, and there is really no time to delay.
Thinking like this, Lu Yang jumped into the threshold with a flat pole.
There's no way, Xue Yang in the past was really a young lady who didn't go out of the door and didn't go out of the second door, she had been staying in the Xue Mansion since she could remember, and she had never been out.
The only time she went out with her mother a year ago to make incense, she got into a carriage in the hanging flower gate leading to the outer courtyard, and she didn't have any information outside the mansion in her memory, she only knew that the Xue Mansion was located on Rongsheng Street in the southeast of the city, and it was not clear which direction the specific door was facing.
And in Xue Yang's memory, the people in both rooms of the Xue family were very good to her, and there was no reason why Shen Jizhong would come here to report the news, and he would be beaten out.
Could it be that someone in the house doesn't want her to go back?
Lu Yang also thought about this problem in Guyu Village, but she didn't know if Xue Yang's remnant soul was affecting her, or if she wanted to be loved by her parents and family too much, even if she suspected that Xue Yang was too young to judge the real good or bad, she was still extremely determined to come home in her heart.
Lu Yang felt that the only thing she was lucky to be had was that the things on her body were not searched, perhaps because she expected that it was impossible for her to escape, and the gold ingots and jade bottles left by the boy were still on her body.
His nose was itchy again, and Lu Yang resisted the urge to have a runny nose again, covered his nose with his hand, covered half of his face, and then pointed to the leftovers of a few pieces of rice paper on the counter, and made a gesture to write.
In fact, she just wanted to find someone to ask for directions, and she also saw that the business in this store was deserted, and there was only one honest-looking young man, so she dared to come in and gamble on luck.
The young man saw that Lu Yang didn't speak, and scratched his head with an ignorant expression, "Little sister, do you want to buy paper and pencils?" ”
All right. Lu Yang had no choice but to take out the gold ingot and point to the leftovers over there to buy.
This gold ingot is twenty taels, and judging by the fineness, there must be two hundred taels of synthetic silver.
You take two hundred taels to buy some leftovers, who are you kidding!
The young man was an honest man, he didn't think so in his heart, he was a little worried, the shopkeeper happened to come from the backyard, and there was a clever young man behind him.
As soon as he came in, he saw the gold ingot that Lu Yang had put on the counter, and saw that the young man was also looking at him, showing a look of embarrassment, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
As soon as the young man said the truth, the shopkeeper saw that Lu Yang couldn't speak, and he kept gesturing with his handwriting, so he guessed: "Do you want to write?" ”
Lu Yang nodded like pounding garlic and looked at the shopkeeper gratefully.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a righteous face and a gentle voice, who really looks like a good old man.
is not a good person, and I guess I won't accept that honest little guy.
The shopkeeper's call for the young man brought over an inkstone with ink on one side, put it on an elm waist tube square stool by the counter, and gave it to Lu Yang with a tube of pens and a few scraps, signaling Lu Yang to write on it.
When Lu Yang came to this time and space, he encountered some bad things, and finally met such a good person.
She still covered her nose with one hand and didn't put it down, and wrote with a pen in the other: "The little woman is infected with the cold, and the shopkeeper is still asking for the treasurer's forbearance." I bothered to ask the shopkeeper, do you know where the Xue family is in the leather business on Rongsheng Street? The little woman is the eldest daughter of the Xue family's big house, her father's name is Xue Dongyuan, some time ago when the little woman went out with her mother to incense, unfortunately separated from her family, and only found it today, because she lived in the boudoir since she was a child, and did not know where the house was on Rongsheng Street, this will enter your store, and you have to bother the shopkeeper, if you know where my home is, tell me the address of my home. The little woman is very grateful, and she will be rewarded heavily. ”
There is a slight discrepancy between these words and the truth, but there is no need to say it so clearly, so as not to bring the reputation of the Xue family.
After reading the shopkeeper, he couldn't help but be surprised that Lu Yang, a little girl who was so old, wrote in such an orderly manner, and the head was Taoist, "You are the lost eldest lady of the Xue family?" ”
Lu Yang nodded in surprise.
She didn't expect the shopkeeper to know about it, and she thought that the Xue family would not let the neighbors know about her loss even if they didn't hide it.
At this time, the shopkeeper remembered some interesting things about the Xue family.
I heard that the wife of the Xue family's big house is a paper man who can get sick when the wind blows, she is frail and sickly, and she has been bedridden for many years, so the neighbors have never seen the hostess of the Xue family's big house, and even her two daughters are like her, staying in the back house all day, and no one has seen their true faces.
The one who had done the good thing said that the woman was actually an ugly woman who was too ugly to see, and that her two daughters were too ugly to be ridiculed, so they did not want to go out.
I have seen the woman's mother-in-law say this with my own eyes, and it must not be wrong, so the neighbors believe this rumor, thinking that it must be an extremely ugly, ugly and ugly woman, and many people sympathize with the handsome and young and promising uncle of the Xue family.
