Chapter 688: The West Wind Country Comes
In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Minghua, on the tenth day of the eighth month, the old lady Wang and the old Wang arrived in Wanning City.
The city has been lit up everywhere, waiting for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ah Yu and the others had already received the letter from Mrs. Wang in advance, so they were waiting at the city gate early.
Zhu'er held a big sugar gourd in his hand, and suddenly waved his hand to one place: "Brother Zao'er!" ”
"Zhu'er, who are you calling?" Ayu turned her head to look, and saw people coming and going at the city gate, and several people turned back after the sound, but they didn't know who Zhu'er was calling.
"He's a good brother, he often goes to my aunt's grocery store!" As Zhu'er spoke, she pointed to a person and said to Ayu, "Sister, look, the blue hairband is him." ”
Ayu is resting today, and the other brothers are still studying in the academy, and only a few sisters-in-law will take her and Zhu'er to pick up grandpa and grandma today.
When she heard this, she really found the little boy, about ten years old, with a lake-blue hairband on his head, a cyan jade pendant tied around his waist, and a wooden fan in his arms, commanding two little guys with small wooden boxes in their hands.
Hearing Zhu'er shouting, he glanced at them and found them.
Zhu'er stepped forward and saluted a few people, only to find Ayu: "Girl, it's you." ”
Ayu also recognized Zao'er: "It's a coincidence, it's you." ”
The two had met, and at that time there was a very arrogant young man beside Zao'er, who was cut off by Qin Huai because of his disrespectful words.
It was then that Ayu discovered that Qin Huai might have psychological problems, and would accompany him to relax whenever he had the opportunity, for fear that he would accidentally become a little devil.
"I didn't inquire about the lintel before, I wonder if your brother is okay?" Ayu also asked casually, that person was really annoying when he spoke, it had been so long, she didn't make up for it at the beginning, and it was impossible to fake it at this time.
Zao'er shook her head: "He has been sent to the country garden by his uncle." ”
Zao'er didn't say much about all these things, but said: "Don't worry, are you going out of the city?" ”
"No, we're here to pick up our family, what about you, are you going to leave the city or have you just come back?"
"I am returning from outside the city, recently the West Wind Country is about to send a messenger to visit, Wanning outside the city set up a bad stall, are some foreign goods, there are also a lot of exquisite good products, the elders of the family love one of the spices, so come to buy some. If there are elders in your family who like it, give it to you. Zao'er said, and was about to give away one of the small wooden boxes.
Ayu hurriedly said: "No, no, aren't you a regular customer in my little aunt's shop?" In her grocery store, she would have a few copies of all the spices she had, and she had them bought a few days in advance. ”
"Also, I almost forgot that you and Aunt Bao are relatives, and there must be no shortage of them. Then I'll go first, and I'll present the gift to the elders in the family first. Zao'er said, looked at Ayu, and added, "By the way, I heard that the envoys from the West Wind Country are coming this time, and Wanning City will open a half-moon joy party until the ugly time after dark. ”
"We don't know, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Zao'er left, Ayu got into the carriage and told a few sisters-in-law about it.
Jiang Wujing said: "None of us are from Wanning City, and we really don't know that there is such a rule, there is a curfew on weekdays, but now it has been extended to the ugly time, and I don't know if the academy will be closed." ”
The academy in Wanning City has many more days off than in Wangbei County before, and it will also be closed on various festivals, sometimes half a month in a month.
Ayu: "If the third uncle and third aunt were here, they would definitely prepare a few new recipes in advance, and after extending it for so long, I don't know how much money I could earn." ”
"You!" Wei Qianying nodded her finger on Ayu's forehead, and shook her head helplessly, "Don't laugh at the elders like this, beware of being heard by the fourth aunt, and talking about you again." ”
Zhou Chuchu also laughed: "Third sister-in-law, you are wrong, how can the fourth aunt be willing to say that our family is Ayu." If she heard this, she would definitely prevent Ayu from sneaking out at night. ”
"What are you going to do out there?"
"Secretly selling sachets!"
"Hahaha......"
Ayu's sale of champion sachets, the Wang family is aware of it, and even the sisters-in-law are now involved, the brothers of the Wang family help write, and the sisters-in-law help cut it, and they have done a lot.
It's just that they used to be sold frequently, but now Ayu directly asked the rice balls to be sent to Puji Temple, and Puji Temple bought them all, and then put them in front of the Buddha to consecrate, and then sold them to people who were destined.
In this way, although each piece is sold for less money, it can sell hundreds of pieces at a time, and it will not be sold at all by next year, which will not damage Qin Huai's reputation.
What's more, Qin Huai also shared a sum of money.
Don't look at Ayu's age, but she has become the most profitable person in the Wang family, and no one knows how much money she has now.
"Okay, you all joke about me, I won't buy you anything in the future!" Ayu deliberately pouted, causing everyone to laugh again.
Just as he was talking and laughing, he heard Zhu'er raise his voice and shout: "Look, it's Grandpa and them!" ”
Everyone looked, and sure enough, they saw that the old king was sitting outside the carriage, holding a horse rope in his hand, and there were several large paper bags next to him.
"Grandpa!" Ayu shouted.
When the old king heard Ayu's voice, he handed over the voucher in his hand to the city guard for inspection, and looked up, and when he saw Ayu, his old face smiled and folded.
"Hey!"
When they got closer, everyone got out of the carriage, and Ayu looked a little distressed: "Grandpa, why are you driving by yourself, and what about the others?" ”
"He's just having itchy hands, ignore him." The old lady Wang got out of the carriage with the old Wang's men, and said angrily, "The official road over there has been expanded, and he wanted to try a fast horse, and he almost didn't shake my old bones apart!" ”
Their previous carriage was given to the descendants of the two villages to take away, this carriage was prepared by An Guogong, not only the carriage itself is spacious and comfortable, even the horses are retired war horses, although they are old horses, but they are not comparable to ordinary horses.
When he arrived at the official road, the old king couldn't sit still, and met a few people from the West Wind country who were riding horses and galloping wildly on the road, and he was stunned to go to compete with others.
In the end, it was obvious that he had lost, and he was still not satisfied, so he squeezed the guards surnamed Chi away again, and rushed all the way to the city gate.
Mrs. Wang's eyes are about to turn upside down, if she doesn't have a martial arts foundation, she is afraid that she will really be turned upside down.
Ah Yu was surprised when she heard this, but she didn't expect Grandpa to have this side, so she wondered if she should find a way to prepare a good horse for Grandpa.
It's not that you can't get a first-class horse, but it's too eye-catching, get a second-class horse, let Grandpa have a good time, anyway, their family doesn't have much now, there are many school fields, and it's very suitable for running horses.
The family talked and laughed, and left the city gate, and there were some things that were not suitable for being said here, so they didn't say much.
Soon after they left, they heard a noisy running of horses, and everyone gathered at the gate to watch.
"Those are the former envoys of the Zephyr Country, right?"
"One by one, looking at the Xuanyu Xuan, there is really no shortage of them."
"It's just that the former envoy is doing this, is he here to give us Dachang? The West Wind Country and our Dachang have not had a big war in recent decades, aren't we here to find fault? ”
"You don't understand this, but I heard that the old lord of the West Wind Country is critically ill, and the children below are restless, and I heard that they want to usurp the throne! The person who visited our Dachang this time is said to be a prince, who came to Dachang to seek foreign aid, so that he could go back and seize the throne. ”
"Tsk, how do you know so much? If you want me to say, I'm afraid that the prince is not here to find foreign aid, but to find relatives. ”
"Looking for relatives? There are only three princes in Dachang, so the eldest prince can barely get married, but they are all married. If you want to say that it is a princess, then Princess Ruyi is still too young to say it......"
Everyone's words are all hearsay, and no one can say one, two, or three clearly.
There was only one person, holding a wine jug in his hand, and said drunkly: "Wrong, you fools are wrong, then the West Wind Country came this time, not to find relatives, but to find people!" The most favored princess of the West Wind Country came to Dachang and her whereabouts are unknown, and they are here to ask for someone. ”
The crowd was stunned when they heard this, and then immediately dispersed.
"Go, go, where are the drunken maniacs."
"Who doesn't know that there is no princess in the country of Zephyr, and she is the most favored, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Forget it, whoever cares about the affairs of the West Wind Country, I have to rush home to cook for my daughter-in-law."
When everyone dispersed, they didn't find that the drunken maniac who was originally talking was no longer far away.
