183. Don't care
"You, you, are really concerned about these things."
Xiao Muze listened to Liu Xinning's special trip to see the situation for the sake of a child not going to study, and couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile.
Liu Xinning didn't answer, but thought about how to go to Daqingshan logically.
After all, she, a person who had never been to Qingshan County, suddenly said that there was a gold mine on the mountain behind Daqingshan, which was too much to say.
After asking about things, he said that he wanted to go up the mountain to play? Or do you want to see your cousin hunting?
But on this kind of day, animals are hibernating, right? Wouldn't it be strange to say hunting?
So let's play, right? Anyway, she wants to go out for a walk, and it seems that she can go to the mountains to breathe and relax?
Liu Xinning thought to herself.
The carriage soon arrived at the foot of Daqingshan, a small village called Qingqian Village.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the Li guard, who was driving the car, stopped the carriage and jumped off the wheel.
He planned to find someone to ask where Qian Shuli, the child who was studying in Zhaoyang City, was home.
Under the wall at the entrance of the village, a few old people are chatting in the warm sun, and a few children are giggling and playing.
When they saw the carriage stop, they all stared in amazement.
Qingqian Village is a small poor village, and I have never seen such a luxurious carriage coming.
Also, there are guards next to him, this is a nobleman?
Escort Li casually found a teenager and inquired.
The young man who was questioned thought for a long time before he suddenly said, "You are looking for the second tiger, right?" Yes, he used to study in Zhaoyang City, and he only came back during the Chinese New Year. I'll take you to his house. ”
"Thank you very much."
Guard Li took out a few copper plates from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the young man.
"No, no, no money. Just, lead the way......" The young man stammered as he looked at Liuwenqian.
Li Huwei couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the young man's hurried appearance. But he still continued to hand it to him, and the boy still refused.
Li Huwei raised his eyebrows and wanted to stuff it into him, but he was stopped by Liu Xinning.
From the curtain of the car that she lifted, she naturally saw the young man's cramped but simple appearance.
After she stopped Escort Li, she smiled and instructed Mei Rui: "He doesn't have to give money if he doesn't want it." Grab some osmanthus candy and give it to him. ”
"Yes."
Merry wrapped some sugar cubes in oiled paper, and hurriedly got out of the carriage and handed it to the young man.
The young man listened to the gentle and sweet female voice in the carriage, looked at Mei Rui, who looked like a fairy in front of him, and then looked at the sugar cubes handed over, and he didn't dare to stretch out his hand.
He hadn't eaten it, but he had heard that the candy bar was very expensive—much more expensive than the six pennies.
He is just leading the way, how can he ask for something so valuable?
"Hurry up and take it. We're still in a hurry to find money and book gifts. ”
Mei Rui couldn't help but say it, and directly stuffed those osmanthus candies into the young man's hands.
The young man was forced to take the osmanthus candy and walked to Qian's house in a daze.
After arriving at the gate of the Qian family, the young man who had just come to his senses hurriedly stepped forward and shouted while knocking on the door: "Uncle Qian, Aunt Cai, a noble person has come to look for your second tiger." ”
Soon a hoarse voice sounded: "Who is looking for my second tiger?" ”
Then, an old man with half a hundred hair coughed and opened the door, revealing a small head.
"Well, it's them. said that he was looking for Qian Shuli, who was enlightened in the county school. I remember that after Erhu went there, he called Qian Shuli. The young man said while pointing to Liu Xinning's carriage.
Liu Xinning saw that the little head was really Qian Shuli, so she asked Mei Rui to open the curtain of the car.
She got out of the carriage, walked to the Qian family, lifted her hat, and then put it down again.
"Miss Liu."
When the little head saw Liu Xinning, it shouted happily and got out from under the old man's arm.
Liu Xinning often goes to the East Garden of Xueshantang.
Although she usually wears a hat when she goes, as time goes by, there will always be a time to take off the hat.
Especially in front of the children, she takes off her hat the most. That's why Qian Shuli knows her.
The old man looked at the person he knew, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This said that the nobleman came to find a child of Erhu, and he was very worried about whether Erhu had caused trouble in the city.
That's why he let Erhu hide behind him.
Now it seems that he did know it, and he was relieved.
Although Qian Shuli was happy to face Liu Xinning, he still respectfully saluted first.
"Miss Liu, why are you here?"
After the salute, Qian Shuli asked happily. He really didn't expect that Miss Liu would come to his house.
"I heard from the master of the Enlightenment Academy that you are not going to study, so I came to ask what is going on." Liu Xinning said softly.
"This ......" Qian Shuli glanced at his father and said hesitantly: "This is a long story, it is better to invite the girl to come in and talk about it in detail." ”
Although, the young man who led the way just now, after leading the way, had already walked away.
However, he knew that with the nature of the people in the village, someone would have to sneak over and spy on him after a while.
This doorway is not a good place to talk.
"Don't invite the girl in. Your eldest brother ......," but the old man refused.
"My eldest brother will be fine." Qian Shuli said stubbornly.
"Now that it's like this, why are you still so stubborn?" The old man's voice became helpless and desolate.
Qian Shuli heard this, but turned his head and didn't say a word.
Liu Xinning didn't plan to go in, but now when she saw their father and son arguing, she said even more apologetically: "I'm sorry." Someone in my family has been dead for less than three years, so they don't come to the house. But it's already out of the hot filial piety, please don't mind. ”
I really don't blame her, she herself forgot about the filial piety. It was still on the way here that she remembered that there was filial piety.
Fortunately, Liu Tingfeng passed away on August 30, and now it is the nineteenth day of the first month, almost five months, and he has already had a hundred days of filial piety.
It's just that this is the New Year after all, so she should not enter other people's homes.
"It doesn't hurt. It's just because something unfortunate happened to my family. My eldest son said he was going to the mountains to see if he could get something to sell for money. As a result, something happened. Everyone said that he was gone, but my little son didn't listen. I'm also afraid that this incident at home will make the girl unlucky, so I don't dare to let the girl come to the door. The old man said tremblingly as he coughed.
"My eldest brother must be fine." Qian Shuli is still stubborn.
After finishing speaking, he still hesitated: "If the girl minds, then that's fine." Because my master taught my disciples how to treat guests, I should never let a guest stand at the door and not be invited. Even if the family is poor, you should serve hot tea to show your gratitude. ”
Liu Xinning heard the dispute between the Qian family's father and son, and saw that the Qian family didn't mind her keeping filial piety, so she nodded and agreed.
If something happens to the Qian family, it won't affect her.
Because there are mourners, they will receive many mourners.
Not to mention, there will be many relatives and neighbors who will come to help with the funeral.
It's just that, looking at the current appearance of the Qian family, there is no plan to treat the funeral at all, so it doesn't matter.
If she insists on not entering, it will make Qian Shuli misunderstand that she is afraid of getting into bad luck.
Anyway, bad luck is a thing that people who care about are nervous, and people who don't care feel that it doesn't matter.
Now, the Qian family doesn't care, and she also feels that it doesn't matter, so why bother to be hypocritical?
