Seeking Happiness

Chapter 178: An old friend I don't want to see

Views:

Walking on the street and looking around, the scale of this city is much smaller than that of Sedum, and the pavement along the street is not so neat, but to see whether a city is good or not, it usually needs to be compared. In the past, Sedum was naturally better, but now The sedum that was completely destroyed is no match for this city. At least the bluestone streets here are only slightly cracked, and some houses have collapsed, but the number is not many. Rain, at this time every household is busy repairing and strengthening the house, it looks very lively.

Knowing that it would be good to stay here for a while, the four of them didn't bother to look at the street scene, so they found a pharmacy, bought some necessary medicines, and then went to the tailor's shop to pick out their own clothes, and then inquired about the nearest inn. live in.

Since Shu Huan had a few taels of cash left, after paying the accommodation fee, Shu Huan also tipped the clerk 2 taels of silver. The clerk who was happy was very attentive after busy work, and quickly prepared the hot water they needed most. I rushed to make ginger tea.

Covered by cold wet clothes for two days, soaking in hot water was a great enjoyment, but it was very disappointing. As soon as he relaxed, Shu Huan sneezed twice, and even changed into clean thick clothes , No matter how much ginger tea he drank, he couldn't suppress it, and soon his nose became stuffy and runny.

After sleeping all night, when I woke up the next day, the symptoms of the cold were not relieved, on the contrary, they became more serious. My nose was so blocked that I had to open my mouth to breathe. Not only was she alone, but the three maids of Shangxin were also sick. He developed a high fever and lay down in bed groggy, while Liang Chen's foot wound was also infected and swollen due to soaking in the muddy water for too long

Under such circumstances, the four of them naturally couldn't go anywhere, so they hurriedly invited the doctor to come to see them, and then drank medicine to recuperate. He walked freely, but Shu Huan also ran out of money.

The banknotes hidden in the silver hairpin are intact. Gu’s family’s bank is naturally one of the best time-honored brands with branches all over the place. Shu Huan also noticed when he first entered the city. There is also a branch of the same name here, which can exchange banknotes , but she always felt that the silver bills were easy to carry, and it would be unsafe to carry them on her body when converted into silver, so she didn't touch them. The golden dots and emeralds are inlaid with pearls and the phoenix walks, calling Liangchen to go to the pawnshop to pawn the silver to spend.

Liang Chen had been gone for a long time, so long that Shu Huan thought that something happened to her, and he wanted to go out to look for it himself. He went out without thinking, and saw her coming back with a small bag, and hurriedly went up to him and asked, "What happened?" Are you done? Why did it take so long?"

"It's okay..." Liangchen shook his head: "It's just that the prices offered by pawnshops are all low, so I went to a few more shops, and then..."

Before she finished speaking, someone came up two steps behind her, saluted Shu Huan, and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The voice sounded familiar, Shu Huan raised his eyes in surprise: "You—"

The person in front of him was no longer well-dressed. He was wearing a sandalwood-brown gown that was made of good material, but the workmanship was obviously not very meticulous. His appearance was still handsome, but there was a short stubble on his chin, making him look a little pale and haggard.

Shu Huan calmed down, frowned slightly and said, "Why are you here?"

Liang Chen explained from the side: "I met Young Master Zhang when I was in the pawn shop. He heard that the girl was here, so he asked me to come and see her."

This person is Zhang Zirong, the legitimate son of the Zhang family. He also pawned things in a pawn shop. He didn't recognize Liang Chen, but he recognized the gold dot emerald emerald bead Phoenix Bu Yao in her hand, which was worn by his sister before, so After asking in a hurry, I realized that Shu Huan was also here.

After Liang Chen finished speaking, he showed eagerness on his face, and asked first: "Have Miss Shu seen Sister Sister these two days?"

Shu Huan's impression of Zhang Zirong is better than that of Zhang Hanfang, but it's not good enough to want to see him. She just wants to stay away from Zhang's family at the moment, so as not to get tainted with the best, so she said indifferently: "I didn't see it, If Young Master Zhang wants to find someone, he should go to Sedum City."

Seeing that she didn't like to see Zhang Zirong, Liangchen said anxiously: "I said the same thing, but Young Master Zhang..."

Zhang Zirong interrupted: "I've searched for Sedum City, but there are ruins everywhere, and I didn't find my family, so I decided to come here to have a look. If you see it, please tell me..."

"Sorry, I really didn't see it." Shu Huan said and dragged Liang Chen back.

Zhang Zirong originally wanted to stop her from asking, but seeing her indifference, his heart moved, and he asked behind her: "Is Miss Shu still angry with Sister She?"

Shu Huan paused for a while, and finally turned around and smiled: "Why are you angry? If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would not be free at this moment. If you want to find her, thank her for me."

This thank you is not sincere, but thank you is sincere.

Although the idea of giving her a divorce letter to marry Zhang's family was taken by the old lady, Zhang Hanfang probably also made a lot of effort in secret. At that time, she felt angry and ashamed, but now she doesn't think so.

Fortunately, she was free because of this incident, and Gu Xiran was sent out of the city without encountering the earthquake. Otherwise, if the two of them stayed together but were separated during the escape, she might have to worry about it day and night. I can't be safe.

Zhang Zirong froze in place and did not catch up again.

Back in the room, Liangchen untied the small bundle in her hand, which contained a total of forty taels of silver, and she smiled wryly with some self-blame: "The court officials in the pawn shop refused to give more money, and finally promised them to die. No more redemption, only forty taels."

Shu Huan nodded and said: "Each person carries ten taels of silver with him, in case they get separated, it will be good for money. Also, if they really get separated, remember to find a way to go back to this Fulai Inn and wait. Running around."

Xin Xin was feeding Jing Jing and taking medicine, when she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Are we going out?"

"Yeah." Shu Huan lowered his head and distributed the money, and said calmly: "Buy the things that should be bought, and we will go back to Sedum City tomorrow."

it's time to go back

Zhang Zirong reminded her that she really couldn't be too far away from Jingtian at this moment, what if Gu Xiran heard the news of the earthquake and came back but couldn't find her

They are both familiar, and there is only one place they will go to, and that is Sedum City

If you want to meet again, you can only go there to find, go there and wait

Shu Huan suppressed his anticipation and excitement, and looked back at the beautiful scenery: "It's your illness, it's a bit embarrassing, why don't you stay here with Liangchen for a few more days, and come back when you're fully recovered Find me?"

"No, I don't want to stay here." Meimei stood up and smiled, "I've lost my fever and feel much better. I want to go with the girl."

If you have a cold, as long as the fever subsides, there is nothing wrong with it.

Shu Huan nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's go together."

As she spoke, she asked the clerk to rush in with pens and ink, and was going to write down all the things she wanted to buy, and then went to buy them separately.

It takes time and effort to do these things, but it has to be done, or if there is nothing in Sedum City, what will they eat and drink when they go back
