beautiful woman returns to dream

Chapter [-]

Zheng Xian looked at the clothes that had been dried on the bamboo racks, and the two large basins that had been washed on the ground, then glanced at the messy pile of bushes that hadn't been washed, and asked:

"Do you all have to wash so many things? Who told you to wash them?"

"It's okay, Miss Zheng, we can finish washing before dark."

As Yi An spoke, she raised her hand and picked up the sweat-drenched hair that stuck to her cheek.

Here Zheng Xian seemed to see something, she took two steps forward to approach Yi An, grabbed her hand to look.Seeing that her hands had been soaked in the water for a long time, they had already turned white. On the backs of her ten slender fingers, a lot of skin had been worn away, and they were covered with patches of red spots.Seeing this, Zheng Xian looked up at Yi'an again.When Yi'an's eyes met hers, Yi'an lowered her head in embarrassment.

Zheng Xian let go of Yi'an's hand and said:

"Why don't you wash with a stick and pestle on the cutting board?"

"Miss Zheng, my miss washed with a stick and pestle for a whole day yesterday, but today her arms, shoulders and elbows are so sore that she can't lift it up, so she just washed it with her hands." Xue Lian answered for her miss, but her miss has never washed so much. clothes bush.

Zheng Xian said to Xuelian:

"Go get the guy who taught you how to wash these things!"

"Oh!" Xuelian agreed and went to the front.

Zheng Xian said to Yi An again:

"Don't force yourself in the future, I'm not a place to oppress people here."

"It's okay, Ms. Zheng, we can do these jobs, we live here for free, and we should do these things!" Yi'an said hurriedly.

The thin-faced guy from the inn hurried over from the front, followed by Xuelian.

"You looking for me?" The man came to Zheng Xian and asked.

Zheng Xian stood on the steps and asked the guy:

"Where did so much dirt come from these two days? Why did you arrange so much work for them?"

The buddy was sweating on his head, and he said eagerly:

"The little one...the little one just wants...the two of you live in our inn. Food... board and lodging are all free, how much money does it cost every day, the little one lets them do these...works, so that we can save us Some loss of the inn."

"Oh, you are so thoughtful for me! Let me tell you, from now on, you will do your own work and let them only wash my clothes. Don't embarrass them anymore!"

"Yes... yes!" The man quickly agreed.

"Now you ask the kitchen to cook two dishes for them to eat!"

"Yes! -- let's go."

The guy called Shang Xuelian to the kitchen.

Zheng Xian said to Yi An in front of her again:

"Dry all the washed ones, go to rest, later..."

Zheng Xian was speaking, not wanting to be pulled forward by Yi An, staggered, and almost bumped into Yi An's arms.At that time, Zheng Xian was unprepared, and after being startled, anger suddenly appeared on her face. She stood upright and said sharply:

"Why are you so rude?"

Yi An also felt that she was being reckless, blushing and said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Zheng! Just now..."

As she spoke, she pointed behind Zheng Xian. Zheng Xian looked back, and saw a big gray and fat spider hanging from the eaves, hanging behind her, dragging a long thread.

It turned out that Zheng Xian was standing on the steps under the eaves just now, and when Yi An, who was standing opposite her, looked up, he caught sight of the spider that fell under the eaves and was about to fall on Zheng Xian's head with its long silk. .She was most afraid of spiders, how did she know that Zheng Xian was not afraid, she pulled Zheng Xian down the steps in a hurry, only now did she realize that she had gone too far.

Seeing that it was a spider, Zheng Xian turned around and walked out of the backyard without saying anything to her.

The next morning, Zheng Xian called someone to call Yi An to her room.When Yi An entered Zheng Xian's room, he saw that the shopkeeper was also there.Zheng Xian sat on the soft cushion behind the incense table and said to shopkeeper Bai:

"Shopkeeper, tell me now!"

"Yes.—Miss Qin, we have already found out the whereabouts of your father."

"How is my father now?" Yi An asked hurriedly.

"We found out that ten days ago, your father was imprisoned by officials for accidentally injuring someone, and was sent to the army five days ago."

Yi An opened her mouth in surprise:

"Excuse me?"

"Shopkeeper, please explain in detail, what's going on?" Zheng Xian was also surprised.

"I asked people in the government office to find out that Qin Keguan went to the Huo family ten days ago and said that he came to marry Miss Qin and Mr. Huo, but Mr. Huo had married a man named Zhao in the capital a few months ago. They refused to admit their engagement to Miss Qin, so they dismissed Qin Keguan. After Qin Keguan came out of his house, he was so angry that he got drunk and went to his house to argue. The Huo family He came out to stop him. During the tussle between the two parties, Qin Keguan pushed a janitor in his 70s to the ground. He didn't want the janitor's head to hit the ground, and he died at that time. The Huo family escorted Ms. After giving the money, the government promoted Qin Keguan and convicted Qin Keguan, and he was sent to the army four days later."

Yi'an's face turned pale and then dark after listening to shopkeeper Bai's words. She said with tears:

"Where was my father sent to?"

"I was dispatched to the border of Rongzhou." Shopkeeper Bai replied.

Zheng Xian said to the shopkeeper:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go get busy!"

"Yes." The shopkeeper withdrew.

Yi An stopped her tears and said:

"Thank you, Miss Zheng!"

Seeing her sad and crying, Zheng Xian persuaded:

"You don't have to be too sad, at least you know where your father is now, and you will find a way to contact him slowly in the future."

"Thank you Miss Zheng, I'm going back to my room."

"Go."

Recently, Zheng Xian has been busy visiting business customers, learning about the trade situation in various places in Chang'an, and running around to collect goods, so she is very busy going around every day. The business status and transaction details of the establishment.Even if they left early, sometimes they couldn't return at night, and even Bing Hao and Ding Mo were so tired that they complained secretly.

Today Zheng Xian transferred to Nanguo Restaurant again.Yesterday, she heard Nanguo Restaurant Han's shopkeeper report that a new kabuki had arrived in Nanguo Restaurant, and every day the restaurant was full of customers, and the restaurant's business was even better than before.Zheng Xian heard about it, so she took time to visit Nanguo Restaurant.

After getting out of the carriage and climbing up the six steps in front of the restaurant, I heard bursts of cheers coming from inside.After the cheers fell, there was a beautiful and melodious singing voice reaching the ears.

Zheng Xian entered the door and stepped on the red carpet, raised her eyes to look into the hall, and sure enough, the hall was full of people who came to listen to the singing. Surrounded by water.

From a distance, on the high platform facing the door seventy or eighty steps ahead of the hall, there is a young woman playing the piano and singing with her head down.Her libretto is beautiful and elegant, as if it was written by a celebrity or a beautiful woman.At the end, the woman sang softly, sighed three times with one chant, and her voice was endless, with a lingering feeling of reverberation.

Zheng Xian took a few steps forward and watched from a distance behind the crowd.When she saw the person on the stage, she seemed to be familiar with her figure, when the woman on the stage held the qin and looked up again, she took a closer look and found that it was the woman Yi'an who came to Chang'an to stay at the Yilong Inn.
