Chapter 91
Fortunately, Aunt Xu didn't try to explain anything, the more we talked, the happier we were.

There is nothing to worry about.

Several people chatted together, enjoying themselves.

Before I knew it, I arrived at Jing'an Port.

The passenger ship docked.

A gentle female voice came from outside the door:

"...If there is something wrong with the hospitality, please forgive me. Welcome to come again next time!"

It was the one who waited outside the door, made tea for them, and brought them pastries, one of the women said.

Gu Yingying was a little bit sad.I only watched the scenery for a while, ate two apples, ate a little pastry, drank a little tea... it's here!

Walking out of the private room, I saw two women waiting outside the door, each with a tray in his hand, and asked them to take fruit to eat by themselves.

Gu Yingying picked a red apple, held it in her hand, followed Zhu Shi, and got off the boat.

I saw that Xu Xinlan also held an apple in her hand, which was bigger and redder than the one she picked.I knew that my good sister must have prepared it for Aunt Xiu, so I gave the apple to Xu Xinlan.

"Just keep it for food, I have one." Xu Xinlan looked towards the Yanyue Bridge not far ahead, after a while, after crossing that ancient stone bridge, she could go to see Aunt Xiu.

I really want to bring sister Yingying to show Aunt Xiu.

Anyway, during these days, Aunt Xiu cared about Sister Yingying very much.He also sent some rice and noodles, made some cakes and asked someone to bring them to Sister Yingying.

"I chose it specially, so you can keep it. It's good to give it to her together." Gu Yingying guessed that sister Xinlan should have chosen it for Aunt Xiu, and after a while, she will definitely give it to Aunt Xiu .

That's why I wanted Aunt Xiu to eat an extra apple, so I proposed this.

Xu Xinlan guessed what sister Yingying was thinking. The so-called "she" refers to brother Xun's mother.

It was exactly what I wanted, so I happily accepted it.

There was joy in Gu Yingying's eyes.He was thinking, he had to hire a carriage, and let sister Xinlan and Aunt Xu go to Aunt Xiu's house first, and then he, his mother, and his second sister-in-law went to Sun's grain store.

After lunch, we will meet at the entrance of Yuelan Inn, and then we will go shopping together.

Tell Qin Shi and the others this idea.

Gu Yingying only heard Mrs. Qin say: "After you were injured, you didn't eat less during these days recuperating at home. The cakes sent by Xinlan's aunt Xiu are very good. How about we go to the Sun's shop and buy some cakes?" I have a bag of flour, ask your Aunt Xu and the others to deliver it, so that it will be easier for her to make dumplings."

After hearing this, Zhou Shi and Xu Xinlan exchanged glances with each other, they both wanted to go together, so please Gu Yingying and the others to go with them.

"Why don't we go together, and we'll all go there for a stroll." Xu Xinlan knew that her mother was willing, so she generously helped Aunt Xiu treat guests here.

But when Qin Shi thought that there were three people in her family, if she went there with Xinlan and the others, she would disturb them, so she felt very sorry.He found a reason to refuse.

Xu Xinlan and the others understood and did not try to persuade her.

The five people separated at Jing'an Port.

Mrs. Zhou hired a carriage for Gu Yingying, and after rushing to pay, she took Xu Xinlan into another carriage and drove to Moxiang.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Yingying heard her mother and second sister-in-law saying that Aunt Xu shouldn't be helping to stop the carriage and pay the bill.Can't help but chuckle softly, said:

"Being able to go out to play together is because you can trust each other. If you still distinguish so clearly, you will be out of touch. This is not good."

Qin Shi and Zhu Shi heard this, and vaguely felt that it seemed reasonable.I will not mention it any more.

Haven't been out for two months.This time, even if it was the twelfth lunar month, Gu Yingying, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the window and looked at the scenery of Jing'an City.

It was found that there were not many customers in several restaurants near the port.

Recalling that this was years ago, some people who came to do business from Yunguo and other countries have already returned to China, or are on their way back to China.As for the local folks, due to some special reasons, this year, there are fewer people coming to the county to do New Year's goods.

One is that the family has no spare money; the other is that the head of some families is still fighting outside.People at home don't have much thought to go out and buy this or that.

For example, the second sister-in-law, if she didn't come out with her and mother, but came out alone, she might not be in the mood to go to any store to pick things up.

Even so, I didn't listen to any folks in the village who, after coming to the county, went back and told them that they shouldn't go to Mobei to resist the thieves of the Lou Kingdom.

On the contrary, the folks are very supportive.

Just receiving a letter from a relative, you have to give some money to the yamen, which makes some folks feel uncomfortable.

Of course, it also includes her, her mother, and her second sister-in-law.

There is one more thing, that is, the matter of receiving flour.It's not that anyone's family is so poor that they can't live without the five catties of flour.But the five catties of flour were transported to Jinxia Prefecture by the emperor and distributed to the families of the soldiers.

Why can't I receive it?

Gu Yingying thought, based on the friendship between the Gu family and the Sun family for so many years, it would not be difficult to find Sun Ying to inquire about these matters.What's more, when the original owner was there, there was no conflict with Sun Ying.

Sun's Grain Shop is not far from Jing'an Port.

Even if you don't take a carriage, it won't take too long if you walk.

But it was because I brought some special products and it was more comfortable to ride in a carriage, so I came here by carriage.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and many vendors who carry their burdens to sell food, hawk while walking, so as to sell the delicacies they brought.

Gu Yingying looked around, and saw that there were many pedestrians who went to watch the fun, but not many people actually spent money on food.

I can't help but feel sour, it's almost the Chinese New Year, it's too difficult, too difficult to come out to make a living!
Especially the old lady standing on the right side of the gate of Sun's Grain Shop.It's the twelfth lunar month, and I'm still wearing thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind.

When Gu Yingying saw it, she wanted to jump out of the carriage immediately, take off the cotton coat and give it to the old woman, wrapping her up tightly.

"Yo--"

Following the voice of the man in black driving the car, the carriage stopped smoothly outside the gate of Sun's shop.

Gu Yingying and Zhu Shi got out of the car first, and then pulled Qin Shi down.

The three of them looked at the old woman with gray hair and thin clothes in unison.

Before Gu Yingying could say anything, she saw Qin walked forward with a smile, pointed to the wooden barrel placed in front of the old woman, and said:

"Ma'am, my daughter wants to eat some sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes, I heard you have..."

The old woman showed a kind smile on her face, picked up the chopsticks with trembling hands, looked at the half bucket of cakes left, and asked Qin:
"Look, it's just a few dollars, is it feasible? I made them all overnight, picked them out early in the morning and sold them, and they were still fresh."

"I bought them all. I have to take some back and give the neighbors a taste." Seeing Gu Yingying and Zhu's approaching, Mrs. Qin thought it was a good deed and gave the old lady's cakes a piece of cake. I bought it, so that the old lady can go back to the fire earlier.

Although it didn't snow today, it was uncomfortable for an old man to come out and blow the cold wind.

The old woman shook her head slightly, "You can buy a few yuan and go back and taste it. If you think it's okay, you can buy it from me. Anyway, I'm either in Fucheng or Jing'an City. It's easy to find."

Gu Yingying saw that the old lady didn't take the cash, she just asked Mrs. Qin, which cakes would you like?

I knew that this woman would not easily accept the money from anyone.So he hurriedly gave Qin a wink, handed the old woman a tael of silver, and said:
"I think these pastries are not bad. You can help me pack a box so that I can take them home and eat them."
