Chapter 358 The Inn
Chapter 358 ·Inn
Mrs. Zhang's personal mother spoke with Miss Li Jialiu all the way, looking very respectful.
Seeing this, Li Qi smiled and said, "Mom is the most capable person around my aunt. I am a junior in front of you. Don't be polite to me, let alone there are no people here, which makes me uncomfortable. You will be like what you do at home now, and we can talk well."
Mrs. Zhang's close mother nodded when she heard the sound, but she did not dare to be a little negligent.
The Li family is also a well-known family in Xuzhou, not to mention that they have a very good relationship with Mrs. Zhang’s parents’ family. If something goes wrong, it seems that Mrs. Zhang will not be able to regulate people, and the people who serve around her are not big or small.
Seeing that she was still restrained, Li Qi didn't have much to say, so she opened the curtain and looked out.
The street was surprisingly lively, and the shops along both sides of the road opened the doors, and the guys stood high on the bench and hawked. There were many pedestrians on the road, saying hello, bargaining, and quarreling.
Li Qi opened her eyes wide and said curiously, "What a good day, there are so many people outside?"
The close mother explained, "Miss, I don't know that the street in front of me is called Tongyang Avenue, which is a bustling section of the city of Hangzhou. Every month, there will be a gathering at this end, selling everything, but it's lively. Not only the people in Hangzhou will come to the market, but there are also people in the surrounding towns." After thinking about it, he added, "If it weren't for the eldest son's marriage, the wife would definitely come to join in the fun."
I was afraid that Miss Li's sixth girl thought too much, and I was worried that Mrs. Zhang was not in a position to go out because the two sisters lived in the Zhang family, so she did not go to the market.
"So that's it." Li Qi nodded and looked at the situation outside the car in a daze. "So, my parents have been leaving for almost ten days."
Mr. Li was worried about Mrs. Li's condition and had no intention of going to see the good days on the calendar again. He took the book written by Tang and went out. It was the sixth day of the lunar calendar that day.
Seeing that she was sensible, my mother was thinking about Mr. Li and his wife, and couldn't help but smile, "Miss, don't worry, Mr. Li is a famous charity in Xuzhou. Not only will anyone be willing to help anyone with any problems, but she also adds money to build bridges and roads to renovate the temple. The Bodhisattvas remember this merits. Mrs. Li will definitely cure the disease this time and be safe."
Li Qi smiled and said, "I hope this is the case if I lend you auspicious words."
“It will definitely be.”
While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at Gaosheng Inn. My mother walked out first and served Li Qi slowly got off the car while stepping on the horse stool.
The servant who stayed at the inn and looked at the yard quickly came out and called "Miss Six" respectfully.
Li Qi greeted these people, "How about it, but are you still used to living? Has anything happened?"
"No, no!" said a honest and honest man, "Although the inn comes and goes, we don't easily deal with people, and we just guard our own acre of three-point land, so we have always been mediocre and nothing happened. Can the master send back the news?"
Li Qi nodded and told several people the letter that Mr. Li had sent back before.
Everyone even called "Amitabha" and said sincerely, "God blesses me, I hope my wife can recover soon."
Someone asked again, "Miss Six has any explanation when she comes back?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "One of the time, I am afraid that you are too weak and I am embarrassed to go to Zhang's door to find me if you have any problems, so I can only come back and ask. Secondly, I will also get some things. You will open the door later and I will go in and look for it."
"Yes!" Someone agreed and opened the lock neatly.
There was already a layer of dust in the house.
The close mother next to Mrs. Zhang helped her into the door, "What are you looking for, but be careful, be careful to choke on the dust, and turn back and your throat can't stand it."
Li Qi took out a veil to cover her mouth and nose, and said softly, "It's not a great thing, it's just a gadget that my sister and I usually use. I'll be fine if my mother waits outside the door for a while, and I'll come out immediately, so as not to get rid of you all over the dust."
The close mother was slightly stunned, but she still retreated as she said.
She thought Li Qi was deliberately not wanting her to follow her.
Don’t listen to what is wrong, don’t look at what is wrong. Mrs. Zhang is such a smart person. Her personal mother has been with her for more than ten years, and she has been influenced by her all day long and has a very smart mind.
A servant from the Li family asked for hot water from the inn's clerk and warmly delivered a cup, "The weather is dry and the food is dry. Mom drinks a glass of water to moisten her throat. Thank you for your hard work, you will follow our lady. It is not easy to go out at home, and I am afraid that the lady will not take good care of her and cannot bring too many servants. In the end, I can only leave a few of us here to guard her."
The close mother smiled and said, "What's the hard work? Besides, everyone is from Xuzhou, so it's time to take care of each other. Otherwise, there is a saying among the four blessings of life, "Meet an old friend in a foreign land." I have been married with my wife for many years, but when I hear our Xuzhou accent and see our Xuzhou people, my heart feels warm. Not to mention just coming to the inn from home, I even want me to accompany Miss Six to heaven and earth, I will do whatever I want."
After hearing this, the servants of the Li family laughed.
Li Qi walked out of the door.
Seeing her empty hands, the close mother asked in surprise, "Miss Six, have you found it?"
Li Qi shook her head, "I turned over for a long time and got a piece of cake, but I just couldn't find it. Maybe I remembered it wrongly, and I didn't bring it out when I went out?"
The Li family on the side hurriedly said, "When the master went to Shanghai, was he in a hurry. Could it be that he mistakenly packed the box when loading the box? Why don't you ask when the master comes back? Or the lady tells us what it is, I'll buy it for you now."
Li Qi smiled and said, "No need, since it is not an important thing, why should we mobilize so many people?"
The servants of the Li family went to fetch water again and served Li Qi to wash their hands. Li Qi told them to take care of their health and take good care of the yard. Then they left the inn with Mrs. Zhang's personal mother.
The servants of the Li family took them to the door, and they only left after they saw them getting on the carriage and leaving.
Mrs. Zhang on the carriage was puzzled.
What exactly does this sixth lady from the Li family want to do?
Come and get things... Obviously not? This is just an excuse to go out. Let's see if the servants of the Li family have done their best? It seems unlikely. After all, Mr. Li is also a person who has seen the world. Since he can keep these people, he must be a trustworthy old man.
But after rushing over so anxiously, it was just a formality. Could it be that Miss Six had just stayed at home for a long time and wanted to come out to relax?
It seems that only this explanation makes sense.
The close mother was hesitating, but Li Qi suddenly said, "Mom, aren't you far from here to West Lake?"
The close mother was stunned and hurriedly replied, "Not far, not far. You can get there just two streets. Why is the price of Gaosheng Inn twice as much as others? It is also because it is convenient for living here, and people who are willing to walk there will be walking."
After hearing this, Li Qi smiled and said, "It's rare to go out. If you don't have any urgent matters in your hand, can you take me to see you? I've been to Hangzhou for a few days, but I haven't gone out yet. When my father and mother come back, we probably should go back. In a few days, the weather will turn cold and we will have to work hard on the road."
This time she traveled not for fun, but for her mother to seek medical treatment. How could she have time to go out for fun?
When my mother heard this, she immediately understood and became more determined to think that Miss Six must have been bored at home and wanted to come out to relax.
The personal mother can understand Miss Six's mood. No matter how smart she is, she is still a child. How can she not worry about her mother's serious illness? What's more, she lives in other people's homes and is cautious everywhere, for fear that people will feel that they are lacking in etiquette and embarrass their parents.
I must be very depressed, right?
The close mother immediately said, "What's wrong with this? The wife should have accompanied you. She knows a lot and can tell you an allusion. I am a rough man and don't know anything. When I go there, I can only accompany you. But it's better to choose a day to meet the day. I'll take you for a short walk first. If you think you like it, let the wife accompany you another day. Then you can also make an appointment with Mrs. Tang and Miss Bai to accompany you."
Seeing that she did not object, Li Qi was very happy and took her close mother's hand intimately, saying, "Thank you then."
The mother intimate refused for a while, opened the curtain and ordered the coachman. The coachman immediately turned his horse's head and drove the car to West Lake.
