Across the Market

Chapter 249

Zhu Fu hurriedly said: "Sister, why are you like this? After a while, when mother sees you crying, she is destined to cry again." Pulling a piece of silk handkerchief, he wiped Zhu Xi's tears with his own hands and said, "Okay, I will I still have my brother by my side, so nothing will happen. Besides, according to my temperament, I am the only one who bullies others, and others cannot bully me. "

Zhu Xi stopped sobbing and said: "I thought about it before, the three of us sisters will get married in the future, and we will be separated after all. But I didn't expect that when we really separated, it would be so uncomfortable. Sister Fu, In the future, no matter where we go, we must write to each other often, to know how well each other is doing."

Zhu Fu put his arms around his sister's waist coquettishly, buried his head in her chest and said, "Don't worry, I promise, even if I go to the provincial capital, I will go home at least once a month in the future. Sister, I'm here There are still two shops, and I will definitely run back and forth frequently in the future."

"Hearing you say that, then I'm relieved." Zhu Xi smiled and held his sister's face, "Why haven't we seen the elder brother of the Shen family come to our house these days? Even Yuzhu can't see anyone. Before the elder brother of the Shen family Didn’t you say you’re going into the city with your brother? Why do you feel like you can’t find anyone these days.”

Zhu Fudao: "Xu didn't come back, you also know that Big Brother Shen is now at Cao's house in Jinling. Director Cao thinks highly of him, so naturally he had to give him some advice before the exam in his hometown." He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Sister, is Tiehua busy recently? It seems that there is no one there."

Zhu Xi nodded and said: "I'm busy, I'm so busy all day long, your brother-in-law is too." Then he got up and took out a letter, "But no matter how busy people are, they still remember important things. I brought it to my brother."

After finishing speaking, he went out of the door and gave Zhao Tiehua's letter to Zhu Lu.

Although Zhu Lu couldn't read well, he was still literate. After he read the letter, his whole person changed, and his face instantly became radiant.

"Is everything packed?" Wei Sanniang walked in with red eyes, looked at the bundles on the bed, and couldn't help nagging, "How can I just bring these? Once this summer is over, it will be cold in autumn." .”

Zhu Fu said with a smile: "Mother, what I bring are all the clothes you made for me without brothers and sisters, but it is inconvenient to bring more. If there is any shortage, just go there to buy." He added, "Besides, It’s not that you don’t want to go home, if you don’t have anything at that time, you’ll be back after a two-day carriage.”

Wei Sanniang couldn't hold back her tears again, the two sisters accompanied each other to comfort her for a while.

Until the sun was three poles, Zhu Fu went to say goodbye to his grandmother and his second uncle's family, and got into a carriage.

Zhu Lu drove the carriage himself, while the two sisters sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and waved to their relatives all the way.

The neighbors left and right came out to see each other off. Zhao Tiehua stood by the door of her house and kept waving at Zhu Fu. She couldn't help shouting, "Sister Fu, when I'm done, I'll definitely go to the provincial capital to find you." Zhu Fu just smiled. She waved her hand at him, and then her gaze fell on the Shen family's gate, which hadn't been opened for a long time.

"Second Sister, Brother Yulou, Sister Yuzhu, and Aunt Shen, where did they go?" The carriage gradually drifted away, and it wasn't until they left the city that Sister Nuan approached and asked.

"They are going to the provincial capital just like us." Zhu Fu leaned slightly to one side, his eyes gradually closed.

Sister Nuan was excited when she thought that she was about to enter the city. She was not sleepy at all, and kept lying by the window to watch the scenery outside, or squatting next to her sister, quietly watching her sister's peaceful sleeping face.

In the evening, the three brothers and sisters rushed to the inn, intending to rest at the inn for the night.

I asked for two rooms, Zhu Lu lived in one, and Sister Nuan lived with her sister.

The few people were about to rest when they heard the voice of someone downstairs, which sounded somewhat familiar.Zhu Fu listened quietly for a while, opened the door and went outside, looked down the first floor, his eyes darkened.

The shopkeeper on the first floor was a bit embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, guest, there are only two inns left just now, and the three brothers and sisters have already taken them down. Look, why don't you change to another inn?"

"There are hundreds of miles around here, and there is only your family. It's late at night, where do you want us girls to find a place to rest?"

"This..." The shopkeeper said in disbelief, "I'm really sorry, our place is really full, and we can't kick anyone out at this time. Hey, madam, please be considerate."

Shen Yulou wondered: "Just now the shopkeeper said that there are three brothers and sisters who want two rooms. Please ask the shopkeeper to ask the sisters if they can spare a room for my mother and sister to live in. As for the next one, just set up a room on this floor. A place to sleep for one night is enough, shopkeeper, please rest assured, we will give the price according to three people."

"This..." The shopkeeper saw that there was money to be made, but he was willing to discuss it, so he responded with a smile, "I have to discuss this first, the three of you will wait for a while, and I will tell you later."
