Chapter 13 There is a maid
The birthday banquet in Jiangfu has been dispersed for many days, but there are still guests from afar.
On this day, two sturdy carriages came from the direction of Aoba Town, the wheels rolling up the smoke and dust, and the snow-white curtains had turned yellow. Just as the tall black horse in front of him was proud of the spring breeze, the groom strangled the stiff rope with a "pout".
"What's the matter?"
The inside of the carriage was affected, and a beautiful girl pulled the car window out of it, but saw that the girl was about fifteen years old, with a beautiful melon seed face, willow eyebrows lightly drawn, eyes flashing like stars, Qiong's nose was pretty, and she was wearing a moth-yellow long skirt, as if she had walked out of the picture scroll.
The groom pointed ahead and replied respectfully.
I saw that a big tree blocked the way in the middle of the road in front of me, and several young people in the countryside cut down a big tree out of nowhere and dragged it to the middle of the road.
Her dark eyes swept the situation in front of her, and then looked around, and she was about to shrink her head back.
"A fox skin that is rare to see in a hundred years, don't miss it when you pass by!"
But at this moment, a crunchy child's voice came.
The girl looked for prestige, but saw a little girl with a tiger head and a fox skin on her head, and the same one in her arms, and was slowly walking towards here.
What a cute little girl!
The girl's eyes lit slightly, and she found that her skin was very fair and delicate, but she immediately noticed that the fox fur in the little girl's hand was extremely beautiful, like a beautiful red satin, which immediately made her heart pound.
"Sister, do you want fox skins? It's rare to see in a hundred years! The little girl came up to her and asked with big bright eyes.
"You wait!" The girl said with a smile, then burrowed her head back into the carriage, and after a moment came out and said gently, "Can you let me show my young lady?" ”
The little girl hesitated for a moment, and said very vigilantly: "Don't break it!" ”
"No!" The girl took the fox skin with both hands, handed it to the person inside, and then got out and asked curiously: "Little sister, what is your name, are you the only one selling things?" ”
"My name is Hu Niu, and I'm here with my brother!" The tiger girl responded crisply, and then stretched out her hand and pointed to a young man who was squatting on the side of the road and muttering a grass seed in a daze.
Lin Haoran was in a very depressed mood at the moment, he had exchanged these good leather goods from Hu Da and wanted to sell them to Jiangfu, but Steward Zhao waved his hand without even looking at him, treating him as arsenic.
For this result, although there has been a psychological expectation for a long time, when it really happens, it is inevitable that there will be a little bit of loss, and the people of this Jiang Mansion are obviously full of malice towards him.
From this detail, he could guess that Jiang Yuebai had absolutely no good intentions towards him, even if they used to be classmates, and it would be very difficult to redeem that gambling contract.
When he was thinking about how to break the game, he heard the tiger girl mention herself, and she couldn't help but look up, so she was stunned at first, but she saw a very beautiful girl, which made him feel excited.
"How do you sell this fox skin?" The girl had already come with a fox fur in her hand, and asked him.
Snow-skinned and beautiful, really a beauty.
"What do you call the girl?" Lin Haoran's mind was no longer about selling things, but looked at her and asked.
"I ...... My name is Chu Chu! Chu Chu hesitated for a moment, and then reported his name.
"The feather of the mayfly, the clothes are good! Good name! Good name! Lin Haoran looked at her boldly and found that if she was her name, she praised her.
"Childe knows where my name comes from! This name was given by my young lady! Chu Chu's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at the carriage with some pride, the curtain of the carriage moved slightly, and it was obvious that the people inside were just looking here.
Lin Haoran smiled on his face, and then asked again: "This is Jiang Mansion, I don't know what Miss Chu Chu is doing in Jiang Mansion?" ”
"My young lady wants to celebrate Mrs. Chen's birthday, but the trip is delayed!" Chu Chu looked in the direction of Jiangcun and sighed with some regret.
Lin Haoran originally guessed whether this would be someone from Jiangfu, but when he got a negative answer, his smile became thicker, and he asked again: "I don't know where the girl came from?" ”
"We are from ......" Chu Chu was about to answer, but an arrogant voice from the carriage interrupted: "Are you here to sell fox skins, or are you here to check our origins!" ”
Lin Haoran glared at the carriage, feeling quite annoyed, he almost wanted to find out the origin of this girl, but he turned out to be a bad woman.
"That's right! Childe, you haven't told me how to sell this fox skin! Chu Chu stuck out his tongue, as if he had just reacted, and raised the fox skin in his hand and asked.
Lin Haoran was quite depressed in his heart, touched his nose and said: "This fox skin is pure in color, it is rare to see it in a hundred years, my asking price is not high, twenty taels or two!" ”
This price has scared off many people, which is why Lin Haoran did not quote but inquired about Chu Chu's origin.
Ah Niu and the people had already dragged the tree to the side of the road, and when he looked back and heard this offer, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that the tree would have to be dragged back to the middle of the road in a while.
"Let's go!"
Sure enough, the woman in the carriage said.
Lin Haoran sighed softly, knowing that he had not only missed the business, but also missed an opportunity to be a sister. But something suddenly fell in front of him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be two ingots of snow-white silver.
Chu Chu smiled and asked for the fox skin that the tiger girl had on her head, hugged the two fox skins together, and then climbed into the carriage, and glanced at Lin Haoran before getting into the car.
As soon as the girl got into the carriage, the groom struck the black horse on the buttocks with a whip, and the carriage sped away.
Sure enough...... Local tyrants!
Lin Haoran looked at the distant vehicle and sighed slightly.
Hu Niu had already picked up the two ingots of snow-white silver on the ground, put them in her mouth and bit them, raised her eyebrows lightly, raised her head and said to Lin Haoran: "Brother, this silver pair is real, hehe......hee"
The carriage was far away, neither fast nor slow, and the sun shone through the curtains.
An elegant woman in a white dress sat in the carriage, holding the fox fur on her knees with her white jade hands, without any expression on her pretty face.
Chu Chu sat on the small bench in the carriage, and followed another girl named Juan'er to propose to make a beautiful shawl for the young lady, but she was hit by Juan'er, because the weather immediately warmed up.
But at this moment, the young lady sitting in the center put the fox skin on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then threw it aside, and said with a thin and angry face: "This profiteer! ”
"What's wrong?" Chu Chu picked up the fox fur and looked at the young lady in puzzlement.
But at this time, the sound of the groom came from outside, and it turned out that he had already arrived in Jiangcun.
Juan'er quietly pulled the corner of the car window, and sure enough, she saw a village from a distance, and the tall village was dancing with the word "Jiangcun" written on it.
Chu Chu understood and immediately helped the young lady tidy up her makeup.
This time I came here in the name of birthday congratulations and family visits, but in essence there is a deeper meaning, that is, the young lady meets her future uncle, and then the two families will choose a suitable date to complete the marriage.
Although I don't understand why the old man married the young lady to such a remote place, he knows that this is something that cannot be changed. Fortunately, she heard that her future uncle is a great talent, and she may be able to be admitted to the top prize in the future.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Chu Chu pulled the car window, and when he looked up, he saw an extraordinary mansion, there was already a row of family members standing in front of the door, and an extraordinarily dressed old man greeted him, which looked quite grand.
