Chapter 49: The chance encounter between the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law
Lin Luoyao took out a silver ticket and handed it to the table and said, "We only need a carriage to go to Zhongnan Mountain, and we don't need a coachman." It's convenient to trouble the little brother. ”
The steward just glanced at the silver ticket on the table, then withdrew his gaze, spread his hands and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry girl, we really can't do this, we are going to load the Lin family in Chang'an." The carriages and horses here have long been booked by them, and if there is one less carriage and horse, then I will not be able to keep my job. ”
Lin Luoyao said seriously: "Don't have a car?"
The steward said affirmatively: "No! And there are only more than 50 cars and horses in our shop, and this time the Lin family wants 80 cars, and our boss has transferred 30 cars from other places, but this time there are really none." Childe girl, you better go elsewhere. There is a post house not far from us, and if you give this silver to the post officer, you may be able to get chariots and horses. The man yawned and said, "All right, the little man has already told the girl, so let the girl and the boy go back." ”
As he spoke, he had to lie down and go back to sleep. Seeing the lazy appearance of the steward, Lin Luoyao also had no idea, after all, people say that if there is no, you can't grab it. And it is not possible to use money to receive a dead order.
Lou Yun said: "Luo Yao, let's go and take a look elsewhere." The carriages and horses here have been taken care of by your family. ”
Lin Luoyao looked at the silver ticket in his hand and sighed and said, "It's only like this, I really don't know who chartered so many cars at once this time." Having money doesn't work. ”
Lin Luoyao put away the silver ticket and said, "Okay, let's go." If you go to the post station, you might be able to get a carriage or horse. With that, Lin Luoyao went out.
Lou Yun looked back at the steward who was sleeping on the table, shook his head, and followed.
Before Lou Yun went out, Lin Luoyao ran back in a panic. Suddenly bumped into Lou Yun's arms.
Lou Yun looked at her panicked and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Luoyao whispered: "My brother-in-law is here, eighty percent of the caravan is about to leave, and he came to see the carriage and horses." The old man has given a death order to take me back, and if my brother-in-law sees it, I will definitely be arrested. What should I do now? ”
Lin Luoyao kept wandering in place, Lin Luoyao looked at Lou Yun and said, "You take me away quickly, whether it's light work or something, don't let my brother-in-law find me." ”
Lou Yun heard the footsteps not far away and said in embarrassment: "It's too late to run now, and listening to the footsteps, the martial arts are not weak, it should be your family's guard." If we leave now, we will definitely be caught. ”
Lin Luoyao was so anxious that she couldn't help it for a while, so she asked, "Then what do you say, can't the two of us change our clothes here." ”
By this time, the footsteps had reached the door. Lin Luoyao hurriedly hid behind Lou Yun.
Lou Yun was also very nervous, but when he saw that familiar face, he calmed down.
He has seen this person, and this person is the one who taught himself to pass the pass when he passed through Tongguan. It was the businessman, who was nearly middle-aged, and beside the merchant was a grim-looking young man. Lou Yun could see that this person's internal strength was no less than his own, his body was strong, and he was as steady as a rock, presumably he was a master of external cultivation and kung fu.
The middle-aged businessman also recognized Lou Yun, so he greeted Lou Yun: "Little brother, I didn't expect to meet you here." Out of courtesy, he saluted Lou Yun.
Lou Yun also hurriedly returned the salute, Lin Luoyao saw that Lou Yun returned the salute and naturally followed suit, she naturally lowered her head, not daring to look at the businessman.
Lou Yun said: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. here, thanks to Mr.'s guidance when I entered the customs." The cloud is grateful. ”
Seeing Lou Yun's humble appearance, the merchant nodded unconsciously, and the merchant said: "This is just a gesture, little brother doesn't have to mind, you and I are fated to meet again, why don't we make friends?"
Lou Yun hurriedly said: "Mr. is serious, it is Yun's honor to be able to make friends with Mr. Downstairs, Yun dared to ask Mr. by name. ”
The merchant said: "It turned out to be Lou Gongzi, the contemptible surname Chang, and the single word name Shuo." ”
Lou Yun said: "Yun has seen Mr. Jin. After saying that, he said goodbye again.
Chang Shuo replied: "The son doesn't have to be polite, he is easy-going and easy-going, and he is not confined to the number of etiquette." ”
Chang Shuo looked at the girl who had been hiding behind Lou Yun and asked, "Who is this?"
As soon as Lou Yun wanted to speak, Lin Luoyao lowered his voice and said, "I am his wife." ”
Although Chang Shuo felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, he could never remember where he had heard it, he was a businessman, and he had to meet all kinds of people every day, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Chang Shuo asked, "I don't know why Mr. Lou brought Mrs. Zun here?"
Lou Yun said: "As Mr. said, my wife and I have important matters to go to Zhongnan Mountain, but my wife is delicate and frail, and she wants to hire carriages and horses here, and she doesn't want the carriages and horses here to be chartered." We're going to look elsewhere. ”
Chang Shuo smiled and said: "I see, I don't hide that all the carriages and horses here are all contracted by the contemptible people, and the contemptible people are the sons-in-law of the Chang'an Lin family, and the contemptible people are entrusted by the father-in-law to transport the goods." So I chartered all the cars and horses here, but if Childe needs it, it doesn't hurt to vacate one for Childe. ”
Lou Yun smiled and waved his hand and replied: "Thank you Mr. for your kindness, Mr. is very useful, my wife and I just want to save some footsteps, since the carriage and horses here have been chartered by Mr." Then my wife and I went to look elsewhere and took our leave. Lou Yun said goodbye to Chang Shuo, and Lin Luoyao lowered her head and pulled Lou Yun out with a sideways face.
Chang Shuo looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and said: "This person has a pure mind, and he must be a son of a family and a good husband in this dress. After that, he went to discuss with the steward about renting a car. But before turning around, he looked at the "little couple", and a meaningful smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Luoyao was really shocked into a cold sweat when she passed by Chang Shuo's side, she didn't expect that such a shrewd person as her eldest brother-in-law would be deceived by such a simple trick. Lin Luoyao looked at Lou Yun and said: "I can't see it, you usually can't think of the critical moment, but you can really rely on it, the etiquette of the son of the family you just now is decent, it doesn't look like a country background at all, are these taught to you by the Marquis of Bianliang?"
Lou Yun shook his head and replied: "This is what my father taught me, and my father used to value this etiquette the most, so he taught me the etiquette of treating others since I was a child." ”
Lin Luoyao said: "The family background is the family background, even in the countryside, it is different from those farmers who cultivate the land. This time it was a good performance, and I was really impressed with you. ”
