Chapter 59: Finding out the news
It seemed that the green leaves were crawling all over the branches overnight, and the grass on the ground was also popping up.
Last night's fire burned until dawn, and finally failed to continue to spread, only suffering the two neighboring families, the one with the roof ripped off was better, and only needed to buy a small number of beams and tiles to make up for it, and the other family was miserable, and the half-burned home could not find the owner of the yard next door to compensate.
Qin Xun took Orchid and Lian'er to Buzhuang to buy fabrics, spring came, Orchid and Lian'er did not have spring clothes, as well as Su Shi and Aunt Sang, they used to take care of Qin Xun, and they were very simple.
Now that Qin Xun is not short of money, he wants to be kind to his family.
There were men and women in the village, but there were more women, and everyone talked about last night's fire, and this little-mentioned backstreet suddenly became the talk of the town.
Qin Xun said that he wanted a lot of fabrics, so the guy politely beckoned the three of them into the compartment to sit, and the fabrics were all sent to the side and placed on the long railing for them to choose at will.
Qin Coriander seemed to be drinking tea leisurely, but in fact, he was listening to the discussions of outsiders, and left the matter of choosing fabrics and clothes to Orchid and Lian'er to make their own decisions.
However, after listening to it for a while, I didn't hear any useful clues, it was nothing more than that the alley was at the end of the town, and there was a river connecting the county town behind it, and everyone hardly went there.
After hearing this, Qin Xun came back to his senses, only to find that the shopkeeper was smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he was pointing to a scarlet cluster of flowers, birds, and beasts brocade and boasting like a river, saying that the orchid wearing this cloth would definitely make the sun in the sky a little inferior.
Qin Xun was speechless, but found that the orchid actually nodded happily, and Lian'er also asked on the side: "What about me, what do I look best wearing?" ”
The guy smiled and showed a small tiger tooth, and hurriedly pointed to another big red scattered branch printed satin and said: "This color and flowers are very suitable for the girl's delicate skin, and after the spring equinox, the girl will wear this dress and go to the peach blossom forest in the mountain behind the mysterious view, those peach blossoms, I am afraid that they will fall to the ground in shame." ”
Seeing that the two girls were coaxed into looking like fools, Qin Xun couldn't help but smile and helplessly, to say that it was good-looking, but one of them was busy in the incense room, and the other was in the kitchen all day long, these precious fabrics were afraid that they would break down if they couldn't be worn for two days, and if they weren't worn at ordinary times, they would soon be unable to wear them at the speed of Lian'er's long body.
So, Qin Xun got up, pointed out a few pieces of sturdy and good-looking fabric from the shelf, and asked the guy to find someone to tailor clothes for the two of them.
The guy saw that the fabrics Qin Coriander chose were durable, but the price was much cheaper, although he was a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, Qin Coriander said that he could earn a lot of money by making clothes here.
After measuring the size equally, the two were still reluctant to look at the flowery fabrics, and Qin Coriander finally generously chose a piece of fabric for one of them, and Lian'er and Orchid jumped up on the spot with joy.
Qin Xun was very afraid that the orchid would jump high and crush the floor of the store, so he hurriedly asked the two of them to be quieter.
Finally finished, Qin Xun wanted to hold his forehead and sigh that it was not easy to take these two people out.
In her previous life, Qin Xun had always been quiet, but later she became the housewife of a high-ranking family, and she was even more cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and she paid great attention to the rules, and the people around her did not dare to laugh at will. After experiencing too much, Qin Xun is very tolerant of orchids and lotus, which is also very unusual.
I chose some fabrics suitable for Su and Aunt Sang, and after thinking about it, the children of Zhou and Li Siniang also had a piece of cloth each, and after the guy sent someone to send it to the house, the three of them went out of the cloth village.
Not far away is the teahouse opened by the Su family, which used to be Qin Xun's shop, but now it has nothing to do with her.
When passing by the teahouse, he suddenly saw Su Lao Er rushing in from the outside, two guys at the door hurriedly stopped him, Su Qiang walked out from inside, dressed in bright clothes, and his mouth was open and he didn't know what to say?
The corners of Qin Xun's mouth flashed with a sneer, and he left after just one glance, saying that the family is prosperous and everything is prosperous, and he is afraid that the family will fight, but now it seems that they have fought very vigorously.
It's just that even if Su Qiang takes the shop, he won't just drive away Su Lao Er, and Mrs. Su will definitely not allow it. So Qin Xun couldn't figure out why Su Lao Er behaved like this? He has also been a shopkeeper for many years, so he still needs face.
Turning the corner, Qin Xun's footsteps paused for a moment, and said to Lian'er: "You go to the teahouse where you made trouble just now and take a look, see if you can hear something interesting?" ”
Lian'er nodded, and looked at the orchid again, the orchid also wanted to follow, but Qin Xun said that she was going to the dart game, who did the orchid follow? The orchid immediately abandoned Lian'er.
Qin Xun stepped into the door of the dart game again, but this time it was different from the last time, everyone was already quite familiar, and the orchid was as happy as returning to her "mother's house", and the people in the yard were also very happy, pulling the orchid and asking questions.
Qin Xun was invited into the hall and sat down, and Lu Da walked out of the room with a limp on his left foot.
Seeing Qin Xun looking, Lu Da took the initiative to explain: "I was accidentally pierced by a nail when I was fighting the fire, I said it was okay, but these guys had to wrap me like this, so that it was inconvenient for me to walk." ”
After Qin Xun smiled lightly and said a few words that needed to be maintained, the topic entered the topic.
She glanced at the other two people in the room, and Lu Da drove them out very discerningly.
As soon as the people left, Qin Xun asked, "Does Lu Darttou know who the owner of the courtyard that caught fire last night is?" What do you do for a living? ”
Lu Da thought it was some kind of money-making work, but who knew that he would ask about the yard where the fire started?
"Why are you so concerned about this?" Lu Da is not as reckless as he seems to be, and he has already sniffed out something from Qin Coward's two questions.
"My husband almost got injured when he went to fight the fire last night, I feel very distressed, and I am a little angry, thinking that these people don't even know who the main family is, isn't it very wrong?" Qin Xun said angrily.
Lu Darttou smiled, and he didn't know how much to believe, but the two sides got along very well during this period of time, Qin Qian had a lot of work, and the money was also generous and neat, and Lu Darttou would not offend this God of Wealth.
"It's strange to say, with the towns and the villages under its jurisdiction, there are no people and things that I don't know. But this courtyard is very strange, few people come and go on weekdays, even the rice and flour are transported from the county, and almost never deal with the people in the town. ”
Qin Xun frowned, it stands to reason that the people in the town are very familiar, and they are also very lively and chatty, now that there is such a special courtyard, why haven't you heard anyone mention it?
Think so, and ask so?
Lu Darttou saw that Qin Xun was very unfamiliar with the town, so he explained to her: "Our town was not so big before, and the street that caught fire yesterday was newly built a few years ago, and it has been leaning on the river that leads directly to the county seat at the back.
The people on this street are bought by some outsiders to use as temporary settlements or warehouses, and there are very few people there, and the locals rarely go there, and they rarely even talk about that street. ”
Qin Xun still felt very strange: "How can the people in the town have any secrets to speak of, I almost don't go out, and the first time I go out, it's not like the town knows it for half a day." So no one talks about an alley, doesn't Lu Darttou think it's strange? ”
Lu Dart smiled ambiguously, and it seemed that he didn't plan to say it.
Qin Xun fell into deep thought: the origin of the news is nothing more than the teahouse, green house, banquet and other gathering places, if these places are avoided and not discussed, then over time, there will really be few people mentioned.
Lu Darttou looked at her and pondered, thought about it and reminded: "The fire started strangely yesterday, and after the fire was extinguished this morning, I went in to take a look." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Daotou looked at the commotion in the courtyard, lowered his voice and said: "There is a person in the courtyard who died with a knife stabbed into the abdomen, and there are still six or seven charred corpses in the house, which seem to have also been killed rather than burned. ”
Qin Xun listened quietly, but thought in his heart: Xiao Chenyu only said about the corpse in the courtyard, he didn't know what was going on in the house, and now it seems that things are even more complicated.
Lu Darttou was a little frightened, the woman in front of him was just a newly married woman, how could she be surprised and scared when she heard that someone had died?
After thinking about it, he continued: "This matter is complicated, and it is not something that you and I can mess with. You'd better pretend you don't know. ”
