Chapter 151: Distress on the way
It can be said that Yan Hui does not belong to any faction, he is only loyal to the emperor.
And now, the emperor sent such a person to Shandong with the five princes.
Yan Hui and the Five Princes, one has the experience and ability to lead troops, and the other has the identity of being able to deter everyone, so you can imagine what kind of storm these two will set off after they arrive in Shandong.
As far as He Linwan is concerned, some plans have to be remeasured.
Because of the five princes accompanying them, on the way to Shandong, except when they rested at the post station, the ladies rarely got off the carriage.
He Linwan can also not get off the car, she spends most of her time sitting in the carriage and playing chess with herself, when the carriage stops to rest, she nests in the carriage to read, and occasionally asks Xiaohuzi to come over to teach him to write to pass the time.
In the end, even Chunxiao couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly ran to tell Wei that something was wrong with the eldest girl, and she must have been bored.
Wei knows his daughter best, and knows whether she likes to move or not, and is afraid that she will really hold back something wrong in the carriage. this
One day, when the convoy had just stopped to rest, when He Linwan asked Chunxiao to bring Xiaohuzi over, the maid cuckoo came with him.
Different from weekdays, Xiaohuzi's eyes lit up like a little beast as soon as he got into the carriage today, and he was still a little stunned when he looked at He Lin at night, and he didn't have the disgust he usually had at all.
He Linwan asked Du Juan funny: "What's the matter?" He never gave me a good face when he asked him to write on weekdays. β
The cuckoo smiled and said, "Girl, Mrs. said to let you take the young master down to ride a few laps of horses." β
Xiaohuzi looked at He Linwan without blinking.
He Linwan lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out: "Where is this?"
Chunxiao immediately said, "Girl." It's already in Shandong, and the mountain next to it is Laishan, and I heard that we can go to Laizhou before sunset today. Rest for the night in Laizhou tonight, and you will be able to go to Dengzhou tomorrow afternoon. β
It was almost noon, and it was almost time for dinner, when the convoy was resting outside a tiny village at the bottom of the mountain.
"The Fifth Prince is not here?" He Linwan asked.
Chunxiao said in surprise: "Girl, how do you know? The slave maid also just learned that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and Lord Yan had left with some people in the morning. β
He Lin said later: "Because we are resting outside the Zhuangzi. If the five princes were here, the chamberlain would have to requisition most of the village. β
Du Juan smiled and said: "The girl guessed right, she was originally going to enter the village to rest, but Lord Xue said that this would delay the trip, and if you can't reach Laizhou before sunset today, you can only sleep in the open." β
Chunxiao said: "Lord Xue won't let us enter the village. He went in himself. β
He Linwan glanced at Chunxiao: "This matter of Lord Xue." Can you inquire clearly?"
Chunxiao immediately defended and said: "Where is the slave maid who wants to inquire, who of those people outside are not staring at this one with their eyes? β
An unmarried man like Xue Xingyi, who is famous and good-looking, can make girls chase after him wherever he goes, and this time there were some female dependents of officials in the convoy to Shandong. There are also a lot of maids like Chunxiao and Cuckoo. Although there is still a fifth prince there. But the identity of the five princes is there. No one dared to rush into it, so the most popular among the girls was Xue Xingyi, the son of the minister.
Xiaohuzi waited for a long time and didn't see that He Linwan had the intention of getting out of the car, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. grabbed He Linwan's sleeve with his hand and wanted to pull her down, He Linwan grabbed his wrist with a quick hand, and Xiaohuzi immediately changed to another hand to pull, and was also buckled by He Linwan at the same time.
Xiaohuzi couldn't struggle, so he could only look at He Linwan angrily.
He Linwan said helplessly: "You always have to let me change my clothes, right?"
Xiaohuzi reacted when he heard this, and He Linwan agreed, and immediately stopped struggling.
He Linwan threw the person to the cuckoo: "Take him down, I'll change my body and come down." β
The cuckoo pulled the little tiger who frequently turned back and got out of the carriage. He Linwan asked Chunxiao to help him change into a riding outfit that was convenient for horseback riding, and got out of the car.
It is no wonder that the Wei clan will allow He Lin to come down and ride a horse later, most of these female dependents accompanying him are from the military attachΓ©'s family, they are more or less good at riding, and their temperament is more lively. No one could stand it after holding it in the carriage for two or three days, so there were many female dependents who came down to ride while the convoy was resting, but they also knew how to be measured, and would only ride for a lap or two near the patrol where there were guards, and would not go far.
When He Linwan got out of the car, Xiaohuzi was trying to climb on the back of a horse, this is a reddish-brown little mare, which was given to He Linwan by He Mian before going out this time, He Mian was embarrassed to say that his private money was only enough to buy a pony, and when he had money in the future, he would give He Linwan a real sweat and blood horse.
Although it was only a pony, it was a behemoth in front of Xiaohuzi, and I saw that the child was engrossed in trying to climb up with the stirrup, but he couldn't climb up if he didn't want to, and he didn't pay attention to the cuckoo coaxing him down, and his funny appearance of his hands and feet attracted the laughter of several children not far away.
Little Tiger finally put down the stirrup, and just when the cuckoo breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had given up, Little Tiger suddenly took a few steps back, and then quickly rushed forward, and jumped high when he was one step away from the horse, and this jump actually made him grab the saddle with both hands.
But the horse was frightened and stirred, and wanted to throw the little tiger off the horse, but the little tiger gritted his teeth and held the saddle tightly and did not let go.
Seeing that the little tiger had no strength in his hands and was about to be thrown off the horse, under the screams of the cuckoo and Chunxiao, He Lin easily slipped the little tiger down before night.
"Is the young master okay?" asked the cuckoo, whose legs and stomach trembled with fright.
He Linwan looked down at Xiaohuzi, but found that the child's eyes were clear and bright, and he didn't look frightened at all, he looked at He Linwan, and then turned his head to look at the horse that had just almost thrown him off, his eyes flashed with excitement.
He Linwan put him down on the ground: "Do you still want to ride?"
Xiaohuzi nodded immediately, with an expression of asking questions.
He Linwan shook his head and smiled, and said to Du Juan: "It's okay, I'll watch him." The horse is docile. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been tossed by Xiaohuzi for so long, and I just made a commotion since then.
He Linwan bent down to hug Xiaohuzi, wanting to pick him up on the horse, but he didn't want Xiaohuzi to pat He Linwan's hand away in disgust, only to look at the stirrup and saddle one by one, and when he saw that He Linwan didn't move, he thought He Linwan didn't understand what he meant, so he went to climb the stirrup by himself.
He Linwan only cooperated to step forward to support his arm, and Xiaohuzi followed He Linwan's strength, and climbed onto the horse's back in three or two clicks, although the posture was still a little embarrassing, but the movement was quite fast.
The little tiger on the back of the horse touched the horse's head curiously, pinched the horse's ears again, and went to study the saddle under him when he was finished.
He Linwan turned over and got on the horse neatly and sat behind Xiaohuzi, Xiaohuzi found that He Linwan also got on his horse, and immediately turned his head to glare at her, as if he wanted to stare her down.
He Linwan patted the tiger head of the little tiger, and said with a smile: "Little guy, if you want to ride a horse by yourself, you have to wait a few years, when your feet can step on the stirrups." β
Xiaohuzi looked unconvinced, but He Linwan didn't pay attention to him anymore, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and with a soft click, the horse ran up. Xiao Huzi immediately forgot to stare at He Linwan with wide eyes, and turned his head to look ahead intently.
He Linwan trotted around the makeshift camp with Xiaohuzi twice, Xiaohuzi had an unprecedented excitement on his face, if he could make a sound, he would definitely cheer along the way. He Linwan took pity on him, so seeing that he didn't want to get off the horse, he ran a few more laps. Du Juan was still worried about waiting for He Linwan and Xiaohuzi's horses to pass by one by one, but later saw that He Linwan was riding very steadily, and Xiaohuzi was also very well-behaved and sat in front of He Linwan and slowly relaxed, chatting with Chunxiao.
He Linwan wiped the sweat on Xiaohuzi's forehead and said to him, "One more last lap, and we'll go back to eat after the run, okay?"
Xiaohuzi looked up at He Linwan and was reluctant to express his position.
He Linwan said: "I'll take you to run a little farther this lap, okay? Maybe I can run into a little rabbit." β
Xiaohuzi's eyes lit up, and after carefully weighing it, he still nodded condescendingly.
said that he wanted to take Xiaohuzi to run farther, He Linwan just ran around the village, and didn't dare to really run too far with the child, and when he ran to the foot of the mountain, he really let Xiaohuzi see a rabbit. Xiaohuzi slapped He Linwan's hand and pointed to the small cave that the rabbit had entered for her to see.
He Linwan stopped the horse and stopped, and when she saw that Xiaohuzi was looking at her, she laughed and said, "You want a little rabbit?"
Xiaohuzi nodded immediately.
He Linwan thought that Yang Chengjie also wanted to raise a rabbit, but because their mother couldn't touch hairy animals, they had to give up.
"We can go down and have a look, but whether we can catch the rabbit later, you have to go back with me obediently, okay?" He Linwan said to Xiaohuzi.
Xiaohuzi nodded.
He Linwan turned over and dismounted.
When He Linwan was about to come down with Xiaohuzi in her arms, she suddenly heard some unusual noises, and He Linwan immediately turned around vigilantly.
At this time, the little rabbit that had been in the hole suddenly came out of the hole and ran in the direction of the mountain. Xiaohuzi's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously followed He Linwan's example, kicked the horse's belly and shook the reins in his hand, and the horse ran forward quickly.
He Linwan's hand was just on Xiaohuzi's waist, and she didn't expect a sudden change so she didn't use too much force, so when she came back to her senses, the horse had already run away with Xiaohuzi.
