Chapter 110 A Suspected Old Friend Is Here, Second Update
In addition to the shops on both sides of the street, there are also many hawkers carrying burdens and walking through the alleys. Wen'er and Wu'er went shopping for the first time, and they felt that their eyes were not strong enough. They stared at the big glasses like black grapes, and they were confused about everything. You have to look curiously at the sellers of firecrackers, rice cakes, and rouge and gouache, especially when passing by the stall of the dough maker. The lifelike face-faced man, with his big eyes straightened, full of curiosity and excitement.
The hawker saw that the two little boys were well-dressed, and he knew at the first sight that they were from well-to-do families, so he tried his best to encourage them: "You two young masters, please show your face. It's very cheap. Each one only costs eight cents." If you pinch them all, the younger one will count you two as fifteen cents!"
Wen'er is very sensible. Although he loves this lively noodle, he is reluctant to spend money randomly. When he heard that two noodlers cost fifteen cents, he shook his head like a rattle and held his brother's little hand. Backing away continuously.
"Do you like it? If you like it, just pinch one!"
Mrs. Du followed the children, looked at the sensible children tenderly, took them one by one, and led them back to the stall. She said to the vendor: "Pinch, give one to each of the two children."
When the man who made the dough saw that the business was done, he happily said: "Okay!" He picked up a piece of dough and kneaded it. After kneading it for a few times, the dough took the shape of a human figure. He clicked a few more times with the toothpick, and a little doll with a tiger-like head and a naive attitude appeared in front of everyone. He colored the outside of the little-faced doll, and Wen'er's facial features were completed vividly.
"Look, they really look alike!"
Caifei took the dough and handed it to Du, who also smiled and kept saying it looked like it.
During the viewing, Wu'er's face-shaped figure was also finished. The two little guys held up their own face-shaped figures, squinting their eyes with joy and unable to close their mouths.
"Hey, isn't this shopkeeper Li?"
Mrs. Du accidentally saw Shopkeeper Li, who had saved her a few days ago, and hurriedly took her children to greet him.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Shopkeeper Li looked much haggard, and his round face was pale and almost bloodless. Behind him was a carriage with a carriage. She also recognized the big man driving the carriage. It was the man driving the carriage that day at Zhou's house. The attendant of the young master who rewarded her with a hundred taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Li got out of the car specially when he saw Du Shi.
He was seriously injured and almost died. Although several of His Highness King Qin's followers were lucky enough to survive, two of them were disabled and could no longer practice martial arts. The rest were also seriously injured. They were in Yushu After two days in the county, he was barely able to walk. As soon as he could walk, he hurried back to look for King Qin. The guard driving the carriage was the least injured among them, but he gritted his teeth and held on, almost falling off the carriage several times. If he didn't come down here to find his master, he probably wouldn't have had the perseverance to make it from Yushu County to Qingyun Town.
Shopkeeper Li looked behind Mrs. Du and said with a smile, "My old man was just going to visit me at home, but he happened to meet Madam here."
Du Shi smiled and said: "I don't dare to pay my respects. I wonder what the old shopkeeper wants to do?"
Shopkeeper Li stroked his white beard and said, "It's nothing important. I just want to see that girl Caiwei. I haven't seen her for a few days. I don't know what she is busy with these days."
Du Shi smiled and said with some emotion: "Weier is sensible. She takes care of the restaurant at home. She is busy every day, doing everything by herself, no matter how big or small. She is very busy, but I am a mother. Yes, it’s so relaxing!”
Shopkeeper Li saw Mrs. Du sighing with no other expression on her face. He knew that there were some things that she didn't know, so he couldn't ask anything, so he said a few more polite words to Mrs. Du, then said goodbye to her, holding his chest and slowly Went back to the car.
As soon as he got on the car, Zhui Feng, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage, asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what did you find out? Has Miss Mu behaved unusually these past two days? Should we look for her now?"
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and gasped, "There's no rush. Let's go back to my shop to recuperate for a while. After we've rested, we'll go to Mu's house to find out what's going on in the evening."
Several seriously injured people crowded into the carriage and braved the severe cold for most of the day. They really couldn't hold on any longer, so they all agreed to Shopkeeper Li's suggestion and the carriage took them to Li Ji Cloth Village.
The close relationship between the white-haired tiger and the girl from the Mu family was witnessed by Zhui Feng Zhuyue and others. Therefore, when they were rescued and the master was carried away by the white-haired tiger, it was most likely the girl Mu who instigated it. , you can’t go wrong asking her for someone!
As soon as shopkeeper Li left, Mrs. Du took several children to the "Fuwang" teahouse in the town. In the morning, she heard people talking that the teahouse had invited an opera troupe from the provincial capital to sing an opera today. Mrs. Du used to love to listen to operas. Of course I won't miss this great opportunity.
In the past, when she was at her parents' house, every time the family invited a theatrical troupe, she would eavesdrop and watch from a distance. She was fascinated by those fantasy stories. She could break through the secular etiquette and dare to elope with Mu Zhongqing. These scripts are not unrelated!
The children had never heard of a play before, so they were very happy when they heard that their mother was taking them to watch a play. They all walked behind their mother with anticipation and excitement, and entered the Fuwang Tea House in a grand manner.
The opera singers at Fuwang Tea House are the most famous "Deyun Troupe" in Bianzhou Fu. Normally, they would not bother to come to such a small place to sing opera. It was only because they came to town yesterday to pay their respects to Mrs. An on her birthday, so she came to visit nearby. Got the job at Fuwang Tea House.
As soon as Mrs. Du entered the teahouse, she told Mrs. Liu to go to the counter to book a private room. There were many people in the teahouse. She was a young woman, and although Fei'er was small, she was also a half-grown girl. It would be bad if others saw her.
After booking the private room, the waiter in the teahouse diligently led the family upstairs.
When they went upstairs, a man in his thirties was coming down. When the man's eyes passed over Mrs. Du, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.
Mrs. Du was a woman's duty, so she was not willing to look at other men directly, especially when she felt that the man was staring at her straight, she hurriedly lowered her head, pulled the children, and went upstairs as if escaping.
The man looked at Mrs. Du's disappearing back, thinking, how could this woman look so much like the fourth lady in the Anguo Mansion? If the Anguo Mansion had not announced that the fourth lady had died more than ten years ago, he would really have regarded "her" as "her".
