Chapter 134 Overnight Stay in Xue's Mansion (Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass)
This time I really saw the ancient candles, not to mention, they were quite bright, probably because the candle center was thicker, so the flame was larger.
Xiao Yue helped her lay out the futon, and asked Qian Yan again, "What else does Miss have to say?" Why don't you go and get some hot water and tea? ”
Qian Yan shook her head and said, "I don't need snacks and tea, just help me get some water, I want to wash up." ”
Xiao Yue should go down, and after blessing the body, she went out.
After a while, I came back with a bucket of warm water, which happened to be not hot, and it should have been mixed and brought over.
There is no kitchen in this courtyard, just listening to the voice, Xiaoyue should have gone outside to get it, it is estimated that there is a special place for boiling hot water nearby, and it is available to the owners at any time, after all, there was no kettle or anything in this ancient world.
Satsuki poured water into the wooden basin on the shelf, took out a brand-new cloth towel from the cabinet on the side, put it on the shelf, and stood aside again, waiting to see what else Tilt Yan had to say.
Qian Yan smiled and said to her: "I'll go to sleep after washing, there's nothing else to do, Miss Xiaoyue should also go and rest, thank you for your hard work." ”
Xiao Yue hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, this is what the slave and maid should do, then you rest, and the slave and maid will retire first."
If you have something to shout, the slave is next door and can be heard. ”
"Okay, I got it." Tilt Yan nodded at her.
When Xiaoyue left, Qian Yan asked Chouchou to take out a set of light pajamas for her, and wiped her body with a cloth towel to change in.
He quickly took the little leopard out of the satchel and put it on the ground, it had been twisting in the satchel for a long time, and it should have been hungry.
Let the ugly ugly get a bowl of milk, wait for it to gobble up, and then take it to the toilet in the cubicle to put water, and then sit down to rest.
Ugly also ran out of the space, took out a bunch of delicious food and put it on the table.
Said to Qianyan: "Hungry, right? Eat it, it's all my treasure. ”
Qian Yan looked at the food and drink at this table, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She hasn't eaten these snacks for a long time, mainly because there are always people around her, which is too inconvenient.
I saw all kinds of fruits, jerky, potato chips, spicy strips, canned food, cola, and juice on the table......
Qian Yan looked at the next door with some concern, and said to the ugly ugly: "It's not a small move for us to eat this, Xiaoyue is next door, isn't it okay to be heard?" ”
Ugly: "I stimulated her acupuncture with my divine sense, and she was already asleep and couldn't hear." ”
Qian Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, so what are you waiting for?" Dry rice! ”
Reached out and picked up a bag of spicy strips and opened it, because the taste was too domineering, she hadn't eaten it for a month, so let's enjoy it first.
While eating spicy strips, he opened a bottle of Coke and took a big sip.
"Ah~ cool! This is life, this month is really sinful! ”
After eating a bag of spicy strips, I picked up potato chips and jerky and ate them, all of them were spicy and spicy, and the ugly ones were all heavy-flavored, so she changed her taste, and the birds in her mouth were about to fade out this month.
"You're still happy, you can eat delicious food in the space, if only I could enter your space, when you want to eat, go in and satisfy your cravings."
While stuffing something into her mouth, she chatted with Ugly Ugly Chuanyin, and neither side delayed.
"Don't worry, when I recover to my heyday, my space can also be used for living creatures, and when the time comes, I will take you in to play, my space is much larger than Xiangxiang!"
Ugly Ugly was lying in the snack pile on the table, eating a bite of jerky and drinking a sip of Coke like Tilt Yan, and while talking to her, he didn't forget to monitor the outside with his divine sense, helping to let the wind out, so that no one would suddenly come in.
One man and one beast quickly finished the things on the table, and Chou put away the bag and took out the box that he had collected at Chen's house before.
They are going to order some of the things inside first, and tomorrow they will go to the pawnshop or the money bank to exchange them for silver tickets and hand them over to Xue Minghua.
Although at present, the Xue family's attitude towards Xue Minghua is good, they should stay with them, and their future life should be worry-free, but money is a person's confidence.
Besides, this can be regarded as compensation from the Chen family, or that sentence, the two children can't rely on outsiders in the future, if they have a piece of money in their hands, they will be hard to use.
It depends on whether Xue Minghua wants to save it for the children in the future, or whether he can buy a yard or a Zhuangzi.
I opened the box and looked at it, the first layer inside was a jewelry box, Qian Yan took it out first and put it aside, and below it was a silver ingot, one ingot should be ten taels and a total of fifteen.
Below is the gold bar, a total of twenty of them were picked up and looked at, and found that they were all marked with marks.
The mark is rectangular, it doesn't look like a word, and I don't know what kind of mark it is exclusive to.
said to the ugly: "These gold and silver have marks, I'm afraid it's not easy to shoot, right?" When the time comes, it will not be good for people to come over, and it should not be a good way to come, otherwise it would be impossible for the Chen family to bury it in the ground and dare not take it out. ”
Chou Chou also frowned, feeling that this kind of imprinted thing is really difficult to deal with, and if you don't pay attention, it may cause trouble to people.
After thinking about it, he said: "Otherwise, we will use a knife to lose the mark, and with our strength, it shouldn't be too difficult to get rid of the mark." ”
Qian Yan looked at the pile of gold and silver, the traces on it were quite deep, and it was estimated that she wouldn't have to sleep today.
Biting the dry skin of his lower lip, he thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's replace it with the gold in your space according to this similar amount?" Let's take this back, and it doesn't matter if there is a mark in the next life. ”
Thinking about it, I think it's okay, but it's saved and troublesome.
Anyway, the gold in its space is quite pure, and there is no need to refine it, but it has different shapes, and it will be made into cakes or bricks later.
After solving this matter, they looked at the two jewelry boxes, and the first box contained the gold ornaments of butterflies and peonies, inlaid with some precious stones, and the style was average, and it was better to be a complete set.
The second box is more rare, a delicate point of emerald grass head insect inlaid with beads silver hairpin, a tired silk bead hairpin, a royal blue point emerald pearl hairpin, a cloud foot pearl tendril hairpin, and a piece of jasper Tenghua jade pendant.
Nothing else is clear, those two dotted emerald should be very valuable, she heard her mother say that dotted emerald is very rare, and in ancient times, it was difficult to buy a little emerald.
Qian Yan felt that the daughter should be a bit exaggerated, but it should be really valuable.
They also left this, let the ugly and ugly be folded, and they exchanged it for silver together.
She and Chouchou estimated that the silver was one hundred and fifty taels, and the gold bars were two catties each, a total of twenty, that is, four hundred taels, and the silver was converted into four hundred and fifteen taels of gold.
After discussing it with Chouchou, he was going to exchange it for five hundred taels of gold, which would be five thousand taels if it was exchanged for a silver ticket, and it would be handed over to Xue Minghua when the time came, which should be enough for the three of them.
Five thousand taels may not be anything for a large family, but for some medium-sized families, it should also be the accumulation of the whole family.
At least they can buy ten or eight Zhuangzi, or buy a few shops to rent out, which is enough for them to spend.
According to the approximate weight, the ugly ugly used his divine sense to pick out the gold, directly pressed it into a gold cake, and took it out directly tomorrow.
Then he thought of a question again, and said to Qian Yan: "Yan Yan, if we go to the money bank here to exchange for silver tickets, the silver tickets are all new, and the Chen family is not a local resident here, I'm afraid your reason is not appropriate, right?" ”
Hearing this, she was stunned, she really didn't expect this, but she couldn't run back to Hancheng because of this, right? Even if it doesn't take long to ride a horse, it's too much of a hassle.
simply broke the jar and said: "Anyway, just stuff it for her, love how you want to think, anyway, we'll leave the day after tomorrow, if not, we'll leave early tomorrow." ”
Even if Xue Minghua suspects something, it is estimated that she will only suspect that she deliberately made it up, and the others will not be able to think of anything.
After that, they put away their things and got ready to go to bed, Qian Yan was really tired, she didn't rest all day, and she fought with people halfway, and she was already sore.
Bent down and scooped up the little leopard scurrying on the ground, washed its paws with the water in the wooden basin, and then wiped it with the rabbit skin in the satchel, and carried it directly to bed.
During this time, the little leopard slept with her, and was used to it, rolled around the bed twice, and found a place to lie down.
The ugly ugly helped blow out the candles, and also ran to the bed, put down the bed tents on both sides, and lay down next to Tianyan.
In this summer, I don't need to cover the quilt anyway, it's just a thin quilt sheet, and the bed is very spacious, so it's no problem to sleep the three of them.
Qian Yan touched the mattress under the bed, and felt that it was just like that, after all, unlike later generations, mattresses with springs or thick sponges, she was still a little panicked.
Of course, it is much more comfortable than the kang they used to lay straw mats and straw mats.
Early the next morning, Qian Yan woke up according to her biological clock, opened the bed tent and looked, the room was a little dark, and the window was already bright.
I picked up the watch on the pillow and looked at it, it was just half past six in the morning, and the sun should not have risen yet, but it was better to get up early as a guest at someone's house.
And she still has things to do today, and she is ready to take a look around this Xingtang Mansion, fortunately, Beijing, which is also one of the three capitals, must be much more prosperous than Handcheng.
When she finished shopping today and gave the silver ticket to Xue Minghua, she would find a reason to leave, she had to leave tonight or tomorrow at the latest, she couldn't disappear suddenly, and the movement would be too big at that time.
She was going to leave here on horseback by to-morrow afternoon, and find a place in the forest to wait, so that no one would know when she would leave.
took off her cotton pajamas and changed into a set of clothes that were the same as yesterday's, Xue Minghua knew that she didn't bring any baggage, and everything was on the donkey cart.
Fortunately, I asked Grandma Orchid to help make three sets of identical clothes, and one set was placed in the ugly space, otherwise it would smell like it.
The clothes are made of light cyan muslin, which is very comfortable to wear, especially in summer, breathable and sweat-absorbent.
Qian Yan suddenly thought of something, and said to Ugly: "It's bad, the rabbit we beat yesterday is still on the donkey cart, won't it stink!" ”
Ugly Ugly lay on the bed and snorted, "When you think about it, I guess there's nothing, I've already received it in the space."
Before, the Yang steward asked people to take the car away, and I thought about it, and I took all the things that shouldn't have appeared inside. ”
Qian Yan put her mind at ease, not only did she forget the rabbit, but she also forgot the plastic sheeting, which is indeed a bit of a problem if people check it carefully.
Then Qian Yan had another question, "Then when we leave tomorrow night, can you take the little leopard and the horse with you?" Don't look back and leave them behind. ”
If the horse can't go, at most people will pick it up and cheapen others, but the little leopard can't hunt yet, and then one will die.
Ugly Ugly turned over and rolled his eyes at her, "Don't worry, I said that if you can, you can, let's follow Xiangxiang's breath and return directly to Xiangxiang's space through the gap in time and space, it will definitely be no problem." ”
Although Chouchou said it so surely, Qian Yan was still a little uneasy, but she had no other way but to gamble.
Thinking that it really couldn't be done, they went to a mountain forest, found a safe cave for the little leopard, put down some food, and held on for a few more days, and the little leopard would be two months old, and they should be able to try to catch some small prey.
Thinking of this, she asked Chouchou to take out the milk and a piece of pheasant leg, and she chopped it into pieces with a dagger and put it in the milk, trying to give it to the little leopard.
When I found out that it had eaten it, I was relieved a little.
After that, I took it to make it easier and put it in my satchel.
I just wanted to wash my face with the water left in the bucket yesterday, anyway, it doesn't matter if the water is lukewarm or not in summer now, just cool water, I heard Xiaoyue's voice outside.
"Miss, are you up? I've got some water for you. ”
Qian Yan was startled, she just cared about chatting with Ugly Ugly, and she didn't pay attention to the movement outside.
walked over and opened the door, and said to Xiao Yue outside the door, "Come in." ”
Satsuki came in with a bucket, brushed the wooden basin, poured the water into the previous bucket, and poured the newly brought water into the basin for Dump Yan to wash.
She thanked her, washed her face, rinsed her mouth again, and tied her hair up casually.
Seeing that Qian Yan just tied her hair in a ponytail, Xiao Yue couldn't help but say, "Why don't you help you tie your hair in a bun?" ”
Qian Yan's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
said to the ugly ugly who was hiding in the space: "Ugly and ugly, quickly help me pick out a few beautiful hairpins and put them in my shoulder bag, I want to try this ancient hair bun." ”
Chouchou picked two of the jewelry that he bought and received before Tianyan was more suitable for unmarried women, a bell flower step shake, and a cloud-foot pearl tendril hairpin.
Qian Yan pretended to go to the bed to get the satchel and took out the two hairpins, "Then it's troublesome Miss Xiaoyue, is it okay to use these two hairpins?" ”
Xiao Yue saw that the two hairpins were very delicate, nodded and said, "Enough is enough, how about the slave maid give the young lady a Hu Butterfly bun?" ”
Qian Yan nodded, in fact, she didn't know what the butterfly bun looked like, but it should sound pretty good.
