Chapter Ninety-Eight: Letters (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

Before the three of them could walk out of the long wall of the garrison mansion, they were stopped by the people behind them.

"Girl! Please stay! The three girls in front of you, please stay! ”

It was a man's voice.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then looked at the empty street, and now it seemed that there were only three of them on the street.

When they stopped and looked back, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a scarf and a crescent-colored shirt, walking briskly towards them.

Seeing the three of them stop, they accelerated their pace.

When they came to them, the man stood still and bowed to them, "Hello three girls." ”

After that, he said to Qian Yan: "May I ask if it's Miss Xue?" ”

Qian Yan looked at him, and seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, she bowed her head and said, "My surname is indeed Xue, may I ask who you are?" ”

The man said with a smile: "I have seen Miss Xue, in Xia Wang Lun, it is the long history of the garrison mansion, and the third prince entrusted the next letter to Miss Xue before leaving, and named it to hand it over to Miss Xue in person." ”

After a pause, he said: "Although the third prince left a letter, he did not inform Miss Xue of the address of her residence, but only told me to wait in the garrison mansion, and Miss Xue would take the initiative to come to the door."

But in the past three days, the girl has never come to the garrison mansion, so she has never found a chance.

Fortunately, I just came out to ask the guard, and the guard said that there were three girls looking for the third son just now, otherwise they might miss it again. ”

Qian Yan was stunned for a moment, she still thought that Li Hao was in a hurry to leave, and again, with their friendship, it was indeed not so deep that she had to tell everything, so she didn't feel anything.

Unexpectedly, the other party also left a letter, and he thought about it very thoughtfully, and did not say the address of the courtyard casually.

He was probably afraid that someone would misunderstand their relationship, so he didn't give out the address.

Fortunately, she came today, if she didn't come, a few days later, it is estimated that this letter will never be delivered.

Qian Yan took the letter handed over by Wang Lun with both hands, and there was an envelope on the outside of the letter, which was sealed with wax, and she didn't want others to see the contents inside.

Qian Yan didn't open the letter on the street, and went directly into her satchel, ready to read it when she got home.

Wang Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had put the letter away, he had completed the entrustment of the third son.

At the same time, he also instructed Qian Yan to say: "If the girl wants to reply to the third son, you can come to the garrison mansion to find the next one, and directly tell the guard at the door the name of the next, and the guards know each other."

I usually stay in the house and rarely go out, so even if I am not there, I will come back quickly. ”

Qian Yan nodded and bowed to the other party, "Thank you Wang Changshi." ”

She didn't know what etiquette this dynasty used, so she didn't dare to blindly do what kind of squatting and sideways blessings were staged on TV, only that this bow should be universal.

Wang Lun hurriedly dodged sideways, "The girl doesn't have to be so polite, since the letter has been delivered, then I will go back below, and if I have other things, I can also come to the garrison mansion to find me." ”

Qian Yan said again: "Thank you Wang Changshi." ”

Wang Lun waved his hand while retreating: "No thanks, no thanks, Miss Xue will have a period later." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the garrison.

The eldest girl and Orchid looked at his back curiously, but they didn't say anything, they just hadn't seen such a polite person, and they were just a little curious.

Tilt Yan took out the letter again, the envelope was blank, and there was no name written on it.

She groped for a closer look at this paper, feeling that later generations seemed to have some misunderstanding of ancient papermaking, although this is not as smooth as modern paper, but it is not all that kind of soft rice paper, at least the paper of this envelope is rough, but it is stiff, it is estimated that it is specially used for envelopes.

Just like when they bought pastries in the dim sum shop before, they didn't have that kind of oiled paper for wrapping pastries, which was also quite delicate and would not easily break and fall off the confetti.

"Sister Xue, this is a letter left by Li Gongzi to you, why is there no word on it?"

Orchid asked curiously.

Qian Yan shook the envelope and replied: "The letter paper is inside, and the outer layer is the envelope, oh, this is a wax seal to prevent others from peeking." ”

"But isn't this paper torn and torn? What is the use of having a wax seal? ”

The eldest girl also asked, she saw that the paper seal was not strong at all, and it was estimated that it would be torn if it was torn hard.

Qian Yan smiled: "This is to prevent the gentleman from the villain, you think that even if there is a lock in the house, the thief is not able to climb over the wall to enter, but can block most polite people." ”

The two little girls nodded suddenly.

Qian Yan pinched the letter in her hand, and now she didn't want to stay outside, so she thought about going back and opening the letter quickly, and looked at the contents, and she didn't know what Li Hao wrote inside?

Seeing that she had sped up, the two orchids knew that they should be in a hurry to go back to read the letter, so they also sped up their pace together.

As soon as they reached the crossroads in the middle of the city, they came across a group of people, about seventy or eighty people, five of whom rode horses and a carriage in the middle, and the others were on foot.

The group was dressed in uniform and carried weapons around their waists, apparently also officers and soldiers.

It's just that the colors of their clothes are different from those of the guards in Handcheng, and the styles are also different, and their bodies are also dusty, so they came from afar.

This street is much more lively than the West Street side, because this is the central location, no matter which direction you go to pass here, there are still quite a lot of people.

The three of them stood on the side of the road with the other people in the city, watching them pass in front of them, and carefully observed these people by the way.

I saw that there was still some grain and grass on the carriage, although there was not much left, and looking at the pile of empty sacks left on it, I thought that I had brought a lot of them before I came, and I didn't know where they came from, and the road should not be close.

Although those soldiers walked crookedly, they were also a little procrastinating, and they did not have the mighty and domineering appearance of the soldiers in the city.

Even the few on the horses were all thin and thin, and they were dressed neater than these infantrymen, so they should be a few small generals.

Although they were embarrassed, they were not injured, which made Qian Yan feel a little relieved.

In this case, at least it means that it did not come down from the battlefield, otherwise, it means that the war is not far from this side.

She didn't want him to continue to flee just after he found a place for Yang Jiaping and the others to settle down.

If that's the case, it's better to stay in the original village, at least they have lived there for a long time and are more familiar, and there is the Li family here to take care of it, and then go to a place where they are not familiar with life, it will be too difficult for them.
