Chapter Seventy-One: The Paper Crane
Alina took Tony three days later and set off for the capital, the two of them pretended to be ordinary merchants, the rest of the country used silver tickets as currency, no matter which town there was a money bank, Mi Lixue deposited all the money into the bank, Alina and Tony only brought their belongings and some small silver tickets.
"Brother An, Tony, you must protect yourself! If this matter is difficult to do, we just give up, don't risk your life for the sake of the shop! Tony, you have a good memory, and you settle accounts quickly, you must take care of Brother An, and help Brother An grow more eyes in everything!" On the day An Lina left, only Uncle Anyang, Aunt An, Mi Piaoxue and Jila came to see him off.
"Don't worry, Piaoxue, Tony and I will pay attention to safety, I will write to you when we get there, father, the handicraft workshop will work hard for you and Aunt An." β
"Don't worry, Lina, since the child has news, we can't bring him back, why should we be on the sidelines, that's also my grandson, you should go over there to help Piaoxue." Uncle Anyang patted Anlina on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Uncle Anyang, if it weren't for my mother and you, I wouldn't be alive now-" The corners of Mi Piaoxue's eyes moistened, fate is sometimes like this, it's better to be a relative than a relative!
"Lina took Tony out with him?Where did the two of them go at this time?Why didn't they tell me beforehand?" The winter of the rest country is coming, and An Dark Moon rarely goes up the mountain, and he heard Mi Piaoxue say that Anlina went to the national capital, which was a little strange.
"Brother An has never wanted to get married, take this opportunity to let him go out for a walk, we will have a big deal after the business is negotiated, and if the business can't be negotiated, let him go out for a walk, I will let Tony follow, there should be no mistakes." β
"Yes, let him get married, he will shirk it, go out for a walk, maybe you can bring it back when you meet a good girl, and it's just a matter of our hearts, tomorrow is fifteen, I want to go back to the mountain, Wang Zicheng has collected some seeds and saplings for us this time, do you want to go back to the mountain with me to see? I see that you are in an irritable mood these days, and it is good to go to the mountain to stay overnight. β
"I haven't been to the mountains for a long time, it's okay to go, I don't have to worry about Jira in the shop, and there are mothers and Uncle Anyang in the handicraft workshop over there, so I don't have to worry. β
"These Kunlun slaves have grown up slowly, buying them has helped Meihuaxuan a lot, I see An Linglong has been making small moves recently, but she has not shown her feet, she is eighty percent of the news in Heguodu, we will use the excuse to go up the mountain this time, let Jila pay attention to it, maybe we will catch her handle." β
"Is she delivering the news to Heguo again? Then we are both gone, can Jira handle it? Why don't you call Sangsang to come over too?" β
"It's okay to transfer Sangsang over, there is a mother and Uncle Anyang over there, and a powerful friend is working in the workshop, there will be no mistakes, An Linglong is just passing the news back and forth, there has been no major incident, presumably it is still within our control, we are always in the shop, it will affect her actions, let it go, so that her fox tail can be exposed." β
"Why don't we buy a few more Kunlun slaves, the handicraft workshop and Meihuaxuan have added two people, and if there is a suitable one, send it to the mountain, Zhiqian is working so hard day by day, I also feel distressed." β
"Do you think Kunlun Nu said that you can buy it? We just happened to encounter an opportunity, the good Kunlun Nu on weekdays can hardly reach Meier Town, but we can say hello to An Yajuni, there are good servants to buy a few more, tomorrow morning we will go up the mountain, and tell the people in the shop that we are going to stay for a few days. β
"Well, got it. β
Early the next morning, Eugene drove the carriage, Mi Piaoxue and An Yanyue went up the mountain together, and Sangsang and Jira stayed in Meihuaxuan to help, secretly spying on An Linglong.
"Aren't Boss An and Mrs. An here? I'm still thinking about inviting them to dinner today. Wang Zicheng came to Plum Blossom Xuan with two guards.
"Boss An and Miss have gone up the mountain, I will tell them when they come back, you have more goods here, and Miss will also go to the mountain to have a look." An Linglong didn't wait for Jira to speak, and walked over and rushed to speak.
"Oh, they went up the mountain, it's really enviable, it is said that the source of Mochizuki Creek is full of green trees and flowers all year round, and I really wish I had the opportunity to go to the mountain to see it. Wang Zicheng glanced at An Linglong and said deliberately.
"The higher the Mochizuki Creek rises, the higher the water temperature, the snow and ice will slowly melt, and the vicinity of the source is indeed warm as spring-"
"Oh, Miss Linglong, have you been to the mountains?"
"I've only been there once, Miss loves to eat bamboo shoots on the mountain, and that time Aunt An and I went to help dig some. An Linglong realized that she had slipped her mouth and immediately explained.
"Miss Linglong, I'm from the Tang Dynasty, in fact, I've always been very curious about Mochizuki Creek in your resting country, why don't you tell me about Mochizuki Creek?"
"I've only been there once, and I've never been to the source, that's all I know, and the place we went to wasn't the top of the mountain, it was where the young lady used to live, there was a bamboo forest, and I didn't know anything else. β
"That's a pity, Miss Linglong, this is a small object I brought from Datang, it's not worth much, I see that you have very little jewelry on you, you have helped our caravan a lot for so long, be careful, please don't laughββ"
Wang Zicheng took out a piece of jade pendant from his purse, An Linglong glanced at it, the color was green, the water head was very good, and it was expensive at first glance.
"I don't like these things outside my body very much, Boss Wang should take it back, we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future, as long as I am in Meihuaxuan for a day, I will definitely help you take care of the goods." An Linglong nodded to Wang Zicheng, turned around and went to the shop to get busy, Wang Zicheng stared at her back for a while, and left with Zhao Er and Zhao San.
Today is fifteen, An Dark Moon is going to hunt at night, Mi Piaoxue soaked in the hot spring at the source, and talked to Zhiqian again, saw the moon rise, followed An Ann Ann back to the tree house, the two of them kept talking about the moon in the middle of the sky in the canopy, Mi Piaoxue helped An Ann Ann put on a cloak, and watched him disappear into the darkness-
An Linglong slept until midnight, secretly put on her clothes, and tiptoed out of the room, she quickly made a few gestures like a colorful butterfly wearing flowers, and blew on a paper crane in her hand, the paper crane turned into a white bird and flew into the darkness, she frowned and pondered for a while, then turned her head and entered the room.
In the darkness, Sangsang and Jira walked out, Sangsang released a pigeon in the direction where the white bird flew away, and the two stood in the courtyard and nodded to each other, and then went back to their rooms to sleep without knowing itβ
