Chapter 123: Meeting
took Uncle He's old clothes and put them on him, and put on a big hat, a sweat towel around his waist, and a pair of worn black cloth shoes on his feet, but with that fair and handsome face, how awkward it looks.
He Zao couldn't help laughing: "You look so strange like this!" ”
Ah Che didn't have much of an abnormality, after all, in order to survive, he even wore animal skins, not to mention just country clothes, and, in order to make him more comfortable, Chen deliberately washed it twice with pancreas, which was very clean.
He Zao himself is also very ordinary, with slightly wide clothes, washed white fabrics, and only a red head rope on his head, and his small face is full of energy.
Because they didn't want to be seen by the villagers, the two needed to walk a little way to the town and wait for He Laosan and them at the intersection. There were still two ox carts, but He Laosan would let He Laosi go with Huang Laohan first, and he and a few children followed behind with the ox carts.
He Zao jumped up and down in front of her, after a long time, she was used to walking in the mountains, stepping on small pebbles, and even stepping out of the fun, seeing the wild sour dates growing on the side of the road, she would also pull off a handful, eat it herself, and then hand a few to A Che.
The latter only tasted one, sweet and sour, and there was not much flesh, and it seemed very indecent to spit out the kernel while walking, so he waved his hand and didn't want it.
He Zao didn't have so many scruples, walking all the way and eating all the way and spitting all the way, and pointing to the trees and wild fruits on both sides of the mountain road, which made Ah Che have an illusion, as if they were just going on an outing.
Unconsciously, his mood relaxed a lot.
When they arrived at the intersection, He Laosan and they had not yet arrived, the two of them chose to shelter from the sun under the shade of the tree, Ah Che looked at the dense beads of sweat on the tip of He Zao's nose and the extremely energetic little face, and suddenly spoke: "Your family doesn't want to do the Songhua egg business, if it is pickled, you can follow the path of the Han family." ”
He Zao's eyes were wide open.
Ah Che thought she didn't believe it, so he smiled: "They are willing to help with this little favor." The Han Mansion is not only in the capital, but also in the palace, and they will also be responsible for some of it, so your family's business can be taken care of. ”
He Zao was so surprised that he swallowed a wild jujube directly into his stomach, but fortunately, the wild sour jujube particles were small and there was no tragedy.
She knew that the salt envoys were very popular in front of the emperor, but she didn't expect that they were also in charge of the compradors in the palace.
In fact, if you think about it, they are equivalent to the eyes and ears of the emperor, and if they meet rare things with local characteristics, they will naturally think about paying tribute to the palace. It is also the object of the imperial businessmen's scramble.
"Won't get you in trouble?" He Zao originally thought that as long as Han Jiaken took care of them a little, he didn't dare to think so high.
Ah Che smiled and shook his head: "Just mention this to my cousin." ”
He Zao nodded: "That's it." The key is that your business is primary. ”
The two were talking, and there was a clicking sound in front, it was He Laosan who came over with an ox cart, and when he saw Ah Che for the first time, he seemed to be very nervous, jumped down from the car, rubbed his hands and stumbled: "This, this young master, the car is too simple, I have wronged you......"
This is the first time the two have met.
Ah Che solemnly saluted him: "Third Uncle He doesn't have to be polite, it was you who helped me wholeheartedly, and I should thank you." ”
"Oops, oops! Hurry up, hurry up, this is not going to ......"
He Laosan wanted to hide and help people again, his hands and feet were busy, and he couldn't speak.
He Zao couldn't help but smile and went to pull Ah Che: "Okay, my father is an honest man, don't let my father not come to the stage, come, my mother specially laid out a thick cushion for you, don't dislike it, sit down." ”
The car was full of sacks, and there was a thick mat on top of the sacks, which were very clean, obviously specially prepared for him, and Ah Che looked at the others, blew the floating ash and sat directly on the sacks.
"The road is not easy to walk, young master, you can bear with it a little more......" He Laosan jumped into the car and instructed again.
Ah Che had a gentle attitude and smiled: "Third Uncle doesn't care about me, just be the same as Sibao and Zao'er, I'm not so noble...... You don't need to call me young master, just call me by name, they are all like this in the morning! ”
Qibao nodded hurriedly, and said in a milky voice: "Yes, Dad, we will all call Brother Ah Che directly." ”
He Laosan glared at him: "How can you be so unruly and rude...... Call it what you want......"
That being said, seeing that Ah Che was really as easy to get along with as the children said, and didn't put on a show, He Laosan was no longer nervous, and there was a little smile on his face.
Ah Che also learned from He Zao, they sat directly on the sack, and handed the thick cushion to He Zao: "You can sit." ”
He Zao waved his hand: "No need, we are used to thick skin and thick meat, this is specially sewn for you by my mother, you don't have to be polite, sit down quickly!" ”
She diligently helped Ah Che re-pave it, and smiled at him narrowly: "Young master, you see that my father is anxious again......"
He Laosan really turned his head and asked him to sit: "The country child is not particular, you sit, you shouldn't care about her......"
He Chun'er, Sibao, and Qibao couldn't help but snicker.
A flush slowly rose from the tips of Ah Che's ears, and he glared at He Zao secretly, before he tried his best to thank He Laosan politely and sat down.
In fact, even with a mat, the oxcart was extremely uncomfortable, stumbling, swaying from side to side, Ah Che watched He Zao and Qibao deliberately sway back and forth with the swing of the oxcart as they were drunk, his brows slowly stretched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The sun gradually became stronger, He Chun'er jumped off the ox cart, grabbed a handful of vines, and began to weave a straw hat, like a flower crown, cool and cool, very comfortable to wear on the head, He Zao wore it for a while and handed it to Ah Che: "Let's change, you try to wear this, it's more comfortable than a hat." ”
The Zhuang family even has a number of hats to shade the sun, and there are only two of He Zao's family, one is given to Ah Che, and the other is worn by He Laosan.
Ah Che smiled and took it.
He was born very well, like white jade, like the breeze, wearing a straw hat for the sun, very weird.
He Chun'er and they all tried their best to hold back their laughter.
Talking and laughing soon arrived at the county seat, He Zao jumped out of the car He Laosan said goodbye, and he took Ah Che to the back of the street and met Han Lanshuo in a small clothing store.
At first sight, looking up and down at Ah Che's coarse cloth clothes, Han Lanshuo's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly took two steps forward to hold his shoulder: "Jingzhi, but I'm sorry for you......"
Seeing his relatives, Ah Che was also very excited, but he still restrained it and smiled slightly: "Cousin, long time no see." ”
Han Lanshuo had already arranged everything, and went directly into the backyard of the clothes shop with Ah Che to catch up, while He Zao walked around the shop boredly, and there was no shop owner, only the two servants he had seen that day were guarding the front and back doors, and the attendant with the copper bell eyes was also there.
After waiting for about half an hour, the two of them came out, their expressions calmed down, Han Lanshuo stood still in the store, glanced at He Zao with a very complicated look, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Jingzhi, are you sure you don't go back with us?" My mother wants to see you and misses you very much......"
