my grandmother

Chapter 270 Departure
Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing got into the car, Wan Qing snorted, "By the way, do you know Guijinfang? Do you know the price of clothes in Guijinfang?"

"What price?" Li Xiaonan asked back.

"Very expensive!" Wan Qing bit down the word very expensive.

"You know it's expensive?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing knowingly.

"Money must be used, definitely not twos and fives!" Wan Qing's expression was serious.

"I asked Si Niangzi, and Si Niangzi said that even the clothes in Guijinfang can be bought and worn. I want to wear these clothes in Jianle City, so we'd better go to Guijinfang to buy them, right?" Li Xiaonan Looking at Wan Qing, Wan Qing nodded.

"The clothes in Guijinfang must be cheap and expensive. Let's buy the cheapest ones. I've done the math, and I don't need many clothes. I will wear my current clothes on the road, and I don't need to buy any more. When I arrive in Jianle City, I usually wear them. It is enough to buy three suits, and one set of clothes for going out to see the big scene is enough."

Wan Qing stared at the smiling Li Xiaonan, paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh, "That's fine, anyway..." Wan Qing was vague about what she said next.

"Anyway, nothing can cover up my family's poverty." Li Xiaonan took the words.

"No...it's not really no, that's right. Anyway, there is our elder son. However, I think you can buy two more clothes to wear on the road. When you wear silk clothes, you look cautious. When you arrive in Jianle City, people will I'm kidding you, you'd better get used to it all the way." Wan Qing thought for a while and suggested.

"Okay!" Li Xiaonan nodded readily.

"That's all, and I got a lot of money. Does your family have so much money?" Wan Qing asked in a low voice.

"No."

"Given it to you by the son?"

"No." Li Xiaonan glanced at Wan Qing.

"Then where did you get the money? Let me tell you, now everyone knows that our eldest son is going to marry you. I don't know how many people want to climb up on you and give you money to others. How can you now?" Can't have it!"

"The Tang Weng gave it to me. The Tang Weng has asked the Uncle to set off to build Lecheng, and go with the old man of the Hong family." Li Xiaonan replied in a low voice.

"The grand master of the Hong family is your third brother-in-law's father?" Wan Qing confirmed, and Li Xiaonan nodded.

"That's good." Wan Qing let out a long breath.

"What did Shi Gun tell you?" Li Xiaonan changed the subject.

"I just said that our elder son wants to marry you, and asked Si Niangzi to accompany you back to Jianle City, and said that the elder son would also go back with him. Alas, I really didn't expect it!"

"Didn't I tell you to stay with me?" Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing.

"Say it. Shi Gun didn't tell me this, it was Shizi who ordered me to accompany you to Jianle City, I thought you were going to Jianle City to talk about style!" Wan Qing sighed.

"Wan Qing, if I can't pass the test of your prince and concubine..."

"Eh!" Wan Qing interrupted Li Xiaonan's worry with a word full of contempt, "You don't know about our palace! In our mansion, the elder son always says what he says. If nothing else, As for the matter of retiring, the son of the world told the prince and concubine that he felt that the marriage with the Shi family was inappropriate, so we should withdraw. Our concubine didn't even say a word, so we just went to the Shi family to withdraw the marriage with shamelessness. gone."

"Then if you arrive at Jianle City, your elder son finds out that I am not suitable, and I failed to marry into your palace. When your elder son comes back after marrying another daughter-in-law, will you be embarrassed?" Li Xiaonan asked .

"Why am I embarrassed? It's not that I want to marry the Shizi." Wan Qing rolled her eyes at Li Xiaonan.

"That's true." Li Xiaonan thought about it too, she thought too much.

The car soon stopped at the gate of Guijinfang, Wan Qing and Li Xiaonan got out of the car one after the other, and followed the mother-in-law into Guijinfang.

........................

Zhou Chennian sat restlessly in the thatched pavilion by the stream.

Mr. Dongxi wore a plain white gown and carried a small tea basket, and came down from the mountain in a leisurely manner.

Seeing Mr. Dongxi, Zhou Chennian hurriedly stood up to meet him.

"I saw you looking restless from a distance, what happened?" Mr. Dongxi asked warmly with a smile.

"There was an accident." Zhou Shennian turned around, half a step behind Mr. Dongxi, and went into the Caoting.

After entering the grass pavilion, Mr. Dongxi signaled Zhou Shennian to sit down, and said with a smile: "This is a new tea that I just picked and roasted in the tea garden on the mountain. How about we try it?"

"Okay." Zhou Chennian reluctantly agreed.

"No matter how anxious you are, you can't mess up your position." Mr. Dongxi glanced at Zhou Shennian and said with a smile.

"Yes. It's not messed up. That's right, sir. The eldest son asked Miss Li to set off to build Lecheng, accompanied by the fourth wife of the Wei Xue government. The eldest son said he would go back too." Zhou Shennian Some can't wait.

"Huh? For marriage?" Mr. Dongxi replied, washing the teapot and cup meticulously.

"Yes, it is said that the princess was very angry when she heard about it. Maybe there are other things. The son didn't say anything. The son is a little flustered like that." Zhou Chennian replied.

"Miss Li gave lectures with such great fanfare in Hangzhou, I'm afraid that Jianle City knows everything that needs to be known. Now he is in a hurry, and his temperament is so reckless. You haven't had time to talk to him about the apprenticeship. Miss Li?" Mr. Dongxi poured the tea leaves into the tea set.

"Yes." Zhou Chennian sighed angrily.

"When is the departure?" Mr. Dongxi poured water to wash the tea.

"It is said that we will set off the day after tomorrow and go by water."

Mr. Dongxi let out an oh, shook the teapot slowly, poured two cups of tea, and signaled Zhou Chennian, "Taste."

Zhou Chennian picked up the tea and sniffed it, then put down the cup, "This trip, what if we decide on a marriage?"

"Well, what do you mean?" Mr. Dongxi asked while sipping tea carefully.

"After the marriage is settled, according to my son's temper, I'm afraid he won't let Miss Li become a teacher." Zhou Chennian replied cautiously.

"That elder son is spotless and too impatient, Miss Li is too humble, this marriage..." Mr. Dongxi sipped his tea with downcast eyes, looked at Zhou Chennian for a moment and said with a smile: "I I have long thought of visiting Jianle City, so let’s do it now. I have to push Miss Li into the Prince’s Mansion.”

Zhou Chennian's eyes widened in surprise, "Sir?"

"This tea is not good, the bitterness is too strong." Mr. Dongxi put down his cup, looked at the surprised Zhou Chennian, and said with a smile: "Does the Master let you stay in the south of the Yangtze River, or go north with him?"

"I haven't asked yet." Zhou Shennian didn't seem to have reacted yet.

"You follow along too." Mr. Dongxi smiled.

"it is good."

........................

Two days later, Wan Qing accompanies Li Xiaonan to board the big boat of Wei's family. Ah Wu leads the horse to the boat of the guards, but is dragged by Yuting to the boat of the servant, and the two precious horses are led onto the boat. last boat.

Li Xiaonan walked from the bow to the stern, from the boat leading in front, she saw a string of six boats behind.

Li Xiaonan walked along the side of the boat, but Mrs. Wei Si didn't dare to go to the side. She followed from the front cabin to the back cabin. Looking at Li Xiaonan who was sighing with her hips on her hips, she couldn't figure out what this meant. She tried with a smile, "It's just the two of us, the luggage There were few, and there were few people following, but Auntie said that neither of us had traveled much, so we didn't worry, so we ordered a few more housewives to follow, and my cousin gave a dozen more guards."

"Then there are a total of eight boats, is it too many or too few?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"Well." Mrs. Wei Si was stuck, "It's not too little, and it can't be too much, it's hard to say. For example, when my family came to Hangzhou, my mother took the three of us, but used more than 30 boats, because We have to live with my father in Hangzhou for at least five years, and we have to bring a lot of things and a lot of people. When Miss Shi and the others came over, the three of us used six boats, because we were guests in the Wangfu Bieye. You don’t need to bring more things and more people.”

Li Xiaonan snorted, fortunately she only had Wanqing and the others and two horses on her side, if a group of maids and women like Fourth Lady would need a dozen boats.

The big ship was very fast and stable, and arrived at Pingjiang City before noon the next day, and stopped at the head of Mabieye. There were already a pile of things sent by Bieye on the pier, including Wanqing's puppy, and a small dog with a small drum on his back. The old blind man said that it was the storyteller sent by Mr. He, the old shopkeeper, to relieve Ms. Li and Ms. Si on the way.

Li Xiaonan's heart moved slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Is it the story of Sang Shuai?"

The old blind man bowed and answered yes.

"A Wu said that the biography of Sang Shuai is very exciting, let's start listening after dinner?" Li Xiaonan and Mrs. Wei Si laughed, seeing Mrs. Wei Si nodded, and Wan Qing said with a smile: "Let A Wu and Yuting come over and listen to it together." .”

After turning around the pile of things, the boat left the pier and headed northward in the drizzle. Li Xiaonan, Mrs. Wei Si, Wan Qing, and the excited A Wu and Yu Ting sat in the front cabin, and the old blind man beat a burst of rhythmic drums Finally, he sang the opening ode of Sang Shuai's biography in a hoarse voice.
