Chapter 168: A New Departure
"The concubine used to be a lowly person who came to Mrs. Luo, but now she has left her nationality to say goodbye to Mrs. Luo." Wen Niang was wearing an ordinary woman's skirt, the makeup on her face was light, and her temperament was very different from what she saw in Hongyue Tower.
The business between Chen Xiuyan and Hongyuelou was broken after Luo Wenqian's move, and the last time I saw Wen Niang was more than half a year ago, but I didn't expect that people would change so much in a short period of time.
"When are you leaving?" Chen Xiuyan smiled and asked a few words, and Wen Niang answered them one by one.
"Mrs. Luo, the concubine is a person with a bad background, but Mrs. Luo has always kept in mind the life-saving grace of the concubine and the grace of re-creation." Wen Niang's eyes burned and she said sincerely, "This time, I was able to be taken care of, redeemed, and released, also because of the two songs that Mrs. Luo gave the concubine the opportunity to sing." ”
Wen Niang got up and respectfully saluted Mrs. Luo.
"You don't have to be so polite, it was also mutually beneficial at the time." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile.
"It's not." Wen Niang sat down and shook her head, "Mrs. Luo has a lot of choices, at that time, I was no longer an Oiran in Hongyue Tower, it was Mrs. Luo who chose to save me and give me a chance." ”
"After all, I used good medicine on you, just because I don't want to waste it." Chen Xiuyan didn't want Wen Niang to be burdened.
"Mrs. Luo doesn't have to be so low-key, the life of the concubine was saved by Mrs. Luo, so if Mrs. Luo needs to do anything in the future, the concubine will go all out." Wen Niang's eyes looked straight at Chen Xiuyan, her eyes were full of seriousness and perseverance.
Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, no matter whether they would see each other again in the future, she was a little moved by this promise.
"You wait for me a moment." Chen Xiuyan asked Luo Wense to help entertain, and went back to the study by herself, she wrote all the tunes she knew, and wrote three songs, no matter how much she couldn't take out.
When Chen Xiuyan returned to the hall, she was holding three music scores in her hand, "These are for Mrs. Wen, I wish Mrs. Wen a promising future and smooth sailing." ”
Wen Niang did not talk about the deal again, but respectfully accepted it, sincerely thanked her, and left the contact address where she could find herself.
Chen Xiuyan was really surprised this time, in just a short period of time, a concubine who has not yet entered the door can already have her own connections?
After seeing the address in his hand and the surname, Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows, "The surname Jiang, the Ministry of Servants' Mansion?" ”
Wen Niang nodded.
"I just entered Beijing, where was I before? Jinan Mansion? Chen Xiuyan asked with a smile.
Wen Niang nodded in surprise, "Mrs. Luo knows?" ”
"May I ask you, who provided you with the connections in the house?" Chen Xiuyan asked directly, and a smile appeared in Wen Niang's eyes, this is a close question.
"Miss Jiang Wu." Wen Niang didn't hide it at all, "It's also Miss Jiang Wu who pulls the strings, so that I can enter the mansion as a concubine." ”
Chen Xiuyan smiled, Miss Jiang Wu is about to rise.
"Miss Jiang Wu is a good person, as long as she is loyal to her, she will not live up to it." Chen Xiuyan pointed out, Wen Niang's eyes lit up slightly, and she thanked her with a smile.
"Today's matter, if Miss Jiang Wu asks, you can say it directly, but don't mention the matter of the song, you can talk about the cure." Chen Xiuyan's words, Wen Niang listened to it and nodded.
On the first day of the seventh month, there were 30 carriages, Luo Wenqian's family had 12 carriages loaded with luggage, and 5 sat on people, Yan An walked with them, and even there were 10 carriages with people and things, and the other three were Tao Lao and Wang Yajie, they entered Beijing today, and they could travel the same way.
Weiyang Dart Bureau dispatched a full 30 people this time, 10 people escorted Tao Lao, and 20 people followed Luo Wenqian to Taiyuan Mansion, and they went out of Yijiang County, and many people in Yijiang County came to see them off, and Chen Xiuyan's mother's family also came.
Liu cried uncontrollably, reluctant and happy.
Chen Xiuyan had the experience of a long trip, and he could stay, Luo Mingxin came out for the first time, and he was full of excitement, but more than half of the journey was also weakened.
This time, Luo Wenqian had an appointment document, and he walked along the official road all the way to the post station, and the trip was quite smooth.
More than half of July, during the Midyear Festival, Luo Wenqian and his entourage also entered Pingding Prefecture in Shanxi and stayed at Pingding Prefecture Post Station that night.
coincided with the Midyear Festival, there was no rest in the middle of the day, and before nightfall, he checked into the post station, Luo Wenqian went out of the city to the post to appoint the documents, and then got a better courtyard, and the small officials diligently called hot water and sent food.
Two main rooms, Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan lived in one, Mrs. Yuan lived in one, all the way over, Mrs. Yuan's appetite was not very good, Granny Su personally went to the kitchen to make porridge for Mrs. Yuan, and by the way, even Chen Xiuyan and his party brought it, all the way to the hurry, or eat some good restraint.
Chen Xiuyan walked around the yard, sitting and lying down for too long, she urgently needed exercise, otherwise everyone would be stiff.
"Is the Taoist priest invited?"
Chen Xiuyan was about to walk out of the courtyard when she suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard next door.
"At the gate of the inn."
"Why don't you hurry up and greet you, can you afford to delay the old lady?"
Chen Xiuyan didn't think much about it, just thinking that today was the Midyear Festival, and people might want to ask Taoist priests to worship their ancestors; Thinking that Granny Su was alone in the kitchen, Chen Xiuyan walked out of the post station and asked someone, and went directly to the kitchen.
Granny Su was boiling porridge on the small stove in the kitchen, and in the hot weather, beads of sweat often appeared on her forehead, and her back was a little soaked.
"Granny Sue."
"Why are you here, don't come to the kitchen on such a hot day." Granny Su urged, Chen Xiuyan took a water bladder and handed it over, which was the water in her space, and Chen Xiuyan was responsible for everyone's water all the way, and it was also because there was space water, so the big guys were still quite energetic.
"Quench your thirst." Granny Su was sweet in her heart, Chen Xiuyan was accompanied by them all the way, they walked very smoothly, I still remember that decades ago she traveled with her wife and Zhuangya, that time her wife vomited all the way, suffered a lot, and everyone was emaciated, this time it was only slightly uncomfortable, people were still in good spirits, and she was happy to cook a meal for the big guys.
"Eh, what about the bird's nest boiled for the old lady, why is it not good?" A maid dressed in a lake-green bikini hurriedly walked into the kitchen, and began to curse before she could ask clearly, "Little hoof, where are you going to hide again?" ”
The maid glared at the other maid in the room who was using a small stove.
"Sister Hulu, I'm not lazy, I'm going to fetch water, I heard the people in the post station say that the pool behind has to be seen by the master Feng Shui, Daji, so I will go to fetch water and use the pool water to cook bird's nest." The little maid explained in a low voice.
The maid named Hulu could only glare at it again, and urged, "Be smarter with your hands and feet." ”
Chen Xiuyan listened to it, and immediately connected it with the sound next door that she had just heard in the yard, they were all superstitious people, and they wanted to be a family.
"This grandmother is a servant of the general judge who is going to Taiyuan Mansion to take office?" Hu Lu didn't leave after speaking, and talked to Granny Su.
"Yes." Granny Su responded.
