Chapter 600: Sleeping in the Wilderness
The sky is vast, and there are endless fields as far as the eye can see, and in the fields in the distance, there are farmers busy in the fields that have been harvested, I don't know what they are doing, Li Qianqian sighed lightly and lowered the curtains.
"It's getting dark, isn't it?"
"Hmm. The sky on the other side of the mountain is so dark, it looks like it's raining!" Before the words fell, the captain of the guard came over to ask for instructions, "Sect Master, it may rain later, look, are we looking for a place to rest?"
"Good. After Li Qianqian agreed, the captain of the escort ordered the convoy to speed up.
Steeply speeding up, everyone in the carriage paused, Li Qianqian and they are okay, Ji Yaoshen and Second Master Li are a little not very wonderful!
In order to prevent the two of them from having conflicts, so after staying at the inn these days, the steward and the little servant of the second master Li will encourage him to go out to play, sometimes to the Qinglou, sometimes to the opera garden or restaurant, go to the Qinglou and spend the night there, go to the opera garden to listen to the play, and go back to the inn to sleep at night, but it is usually quite late, if you go to the restaurant, it is usually an invitation to the friends of the second master Li to eat.
During the banquet, courtesans will be invited to sing and play, and they will spend the night in the box of the restaurant when they are late, but they usually play all night, and Li Qianqian does not know what they are playing, but he only knows that if he goes to the restaurant to have a banquet, the next day the second master Li will sleep in the car, sleep until the evening and live in another inn, and then be carried into the guest room to continue sleeping.
It seems that going to a restaurant for a banquet is more tiring than going to a green house or a theater garden.
Liu Yi and the others seemed to know what Second Master Li was doing in the restaurant, but looking at their faces, they seemed to be extremely disdainful of Second Master Li's behavior, so Li Qianqian couldn't help but want to be crooked, but she didn't dare to confirm it.
Thinking that it would rain for a while, after staying in the inn, the two people might meet together, and then have a conflict, Li Qianqian felt a headache.
Lan Tang handed the hand stove in his hand to Li Qianqian, "It will rain in a while?"
"Looks like that's right. ”
"My dad hasn't heard from them in days. Lan Tang reached out and pulled the futon on his lap.
In fact, it's not that they didn't send the news back, but because they are leaving the capital now, after the news is sent to Liu Second-hand Middle School, he has to screen it and then let people send the news over, so he will accumulate it for a while and then let people send it to her.
After all, she was on the journey, and it wouldn't be good if she missed it because of this.
Lan Tang also knew that compared to the previous news from his father every three days, the time between them was a little too long.
"Didn't you say that Mr. Lan had already lived in the Wei Mansion? I think he has been exchanging medical knowledge with Doctor Wei these days, right?"
If he hadn't Wei Changxuan to death. Li Qianqian said lightly.
Lan Tang thought that his father and Wei Changxuan met together, and the scene would probably only be more tragic than the meeting between Second Master Li and Ji Yaoshen, right? Because Wei Changxuan can only lie on the bed after a stroke now, I don't know if he can speak, and the patients who have had a stroke can only lie on the bed because of their different symptoms, but some people can speak as usual, and some people can't even speak clearly.
I heard that Wei Changxuan's condition was very serious, and he couldn't even speak clearly, so he was pinched to death by Fang Shuqing.
I don't know if the situation has changed since my father and they went to Wei's house, and I don't know if my father has treated Wei Changxuan.
"Why do you want to do this now? Let's help me think about how to separate those two after staying at the inn for a while, right?"
Although they sent someone to arrange everything in advance, but when it rained, the variables increased, and because the speed accelerated, I don't know if when they arrived, they went to arrange the steward of the inn to book the inn first?
Just when Li Qianqian was thinking wildly, the wind outside became louder, and the carriage also made a noise due to the stronger wind, which was not encountered in the winter of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
This gust of wind is too strong! Chunjiang quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that the guards could only lean down against the horse's back with difficulty under the raging wind, and the horses had stopped, but in the strong wind, their slender and strong long legs could not hold on to their knees, and the horses pulling the cart were even more panicked neighing.
The captain of the guard was busy directing everyone, and hurriedly hid in the low woods not far away.
The guards dismounted and led them forward, and the coachmen drove their cars carefully, and the wind had subsided, and disappeared as quickly as they had come.
The trees in the grove were very dense, so when the raindrops began to fall outside the woods, the guards in the forest did not notice until the guards guarding the edge of the forest exclaimed that it was raining heavily.
The cloaks worn by the guards have the function of oil coats, which can be waterproof, but if the rain is too heavy, it will not be able to bear, because they don't know how long the rain will be, so the team leaders asked the captain whether to build a simple shed to shelter from the rain with local materials, the captain squinted and thought.
"I'll go ask the eldest lady. ”
Only then did the team leaders react, on this trip, there was still an eldest lady above their captain!
"I heard that the eldest lady used to travel with her master before, I don't know what they did when it rained halfway?"
The Jianghu people have the means of the Jianghu people, which are different from their soldiers, so everyone is curious.
The captain came to ask for instructions, Li Qianqian asked him to deal with it with his own view, the captain couldn't react a little, after all, he was a soldier, and everything was decided by his superiors, and they did it accordingly, the captain didn't know that he wouldn't take the idea, but he didn't expect Li Qianqian to give him full authority to deal with it.
Aren't the official ladies very fond of making their own ideas? Even if they don't understand, they have to pretend to understand the blind command? Why is their eldest lady different from other official ladies?
Chunjiang seemed to see his confusion, and said to him with a smile, "Our sect leader is different from those official daughters you know, she gives you full authority to deal with it, that is, I believe that with your ability, you will measure everything and do your best, so I will leave it to you to watch and do." ”
The captain touched his head and went back to tell everyone to cut down the tree, and the guards were all experienced, so they quickly cut the branches, removed the thin branches, tied the thick branches with fairly soft branches, and built a shed to protect them from the rain, and with the shed, they could raise the fire and cook hot food.
Because the rain has just begun to fall, although the rain outside the forest is not small, but in the forest, because of the dense branches and leaves, the rain has not yet fallen for a while and a half, so there are still a lot of dead branches on the ground, and the guards and the little ones acted together, and soon picked up a lot of branches.
There are many sheds that have been built, and all the guards, servants and stewards can take shelter from the rain under the shed, as for Ji Yaoshen's newly bought subordinates, because they don't understand anything, they don't dare to move, and they all hide in the carriage when no one calls.
The maids and servants sent by Prince Ping and Princess Ping to wait for Ji Yaoshen were the only two big maids and the coachman who drove the car, and the others were left in the small city outside the capital, and the carriage was used by Ji Yaoshen's newly bought subordinates, so if they wanted to go back to the capital, they could only walk back on their own legs, otherwise they could only figure out their own way.
As for the accommodation, Li Qianqian generously helped them pay for the accommodation and food for three days, and if they wanted to live any longer, they would have to pay for it themselves.
Li Qianqian felt that she was very generous, but she still seemed to be resented by those people, and felt that since she was so rich, why didn't she leave the carriage of the Prince's Mansion for them, and buy another carriage for Ji Yaoshen's new subordinates.
And she told the innkeeper that she had already paid the money, and that if they didn't stay, she couldn't return it to them.
If they don't want to pay for a car, if they don't want to walk back, they can only hire a car back to Beijing out of their own pockets.
In this regard, Li Qianqian only said that he would be happy with them, and he would love it.
Lan Tang was a little worried about whether they were really injured.
Zhang Duoli comforted her, "Their injuries are all fake, what bruises are smeared with plant juice, and you can smell the smell of plant juice when you get closer." As for what kind of plant it is, Zhang Duoli doesn't know the name, because she heard her master say that the plant was once ground into juice and used in fake calligraphy and paintings, but it was abandoned because the taste was too strong.
But when applied to the skin, it looks like a bruise from a bruise.
Chunjiang and Chunshou saw that they had set up the shed, so they asked Li Qianqian if they wanted to get out of the car, Li Qianqian nodded, put on the cloak and got out of the car and went to the nearest shed.
The shed is well built, although there is only shelter from the top and the rear, but because the height is quite high, the adult man will not feel bored standing in it, as long as the wind is no longer as strong as just now, there will be no wind in.
There was a bonfire burning in the middle of the shed, and the guards buried the pot nearby to make rice, and when Ji Yaoshen came over with the hand of the big girl, he smelled the aroma of the food, and was a little surprised.
"What about your people?" Lan Tang saw that there was only one big girl beside her, and couldn't help but ask.
The big girl's face was slightly embarrassed, "They are probably still in the car, I'll call them." ”
The carriage was very close to the shed, and the big girl asked Ji Yaoshen to walk to Li Qianqian's side, and then went to call someone regardless of it.
Li Qianqian watched coldly, feeling that the big girl seemed to be a little big, but looking at Ji Yaoshen's expression, she seemed to be very accustomed to it, so she ignored it and talked to Chunjiang.
Because the floor of the shed was covered with oilcloth, many people sat directly on the oilcloth, but Chunjiang and the others did not let Li Qianqian sit on the ground, so they took out the chairs from the carriage.
Because the chair is made of sheepskin, it is very convenient to store it, so Li Qianqian's car has several handfuls, and it is usually stored in the box under the car anyway, and it is not in the way. Now it comes in handy.
When Ji Yao sat down at the beginning, he was still a little afraid that he would be unstable, but after he really sat down, he found that it was quite stable, so he smiled.
The big girl quickly called people over, and after those people listened to her assignment work, they began to do things, Li Qianqian looked at it coldly, and saw that those people were quite neat, that is, after doing what was told, if the big girl didn't speak again, they would just stand in place in a daze, she turned her head to look at Ji Yaoshen, and saw that she was holding the tea and drinking it slowly, as if it was none of her business.
Li Qianqian and Lan Tang looked at each other and smiled, they were bought for Ji Yaoshen, but if she left it alone, she would hand it over to the big maid to send it down, and then those people would be co-opted by the big maid and become the princess of Ping, that was also Ji Yaoshen's choice.
"Do you want to remind her?" Lan Tang asked in Li Qianqian's ear.
"Are you going?" Li Qianqian looked at her with a shallow eyebrow.
Lan Tang immediately shook his head, "I'm not going." ”
Li Qian smiled at her, "Then you still ask?"
"It's just reluctant to let your money go for nothing. ”
Otherwise, she and Ji Yao are not familiar with each other, regardless of whether she will suffer in the future!
"Chunjiang should talk to her later! People are what she wants, and she can't leave them all to her maid to take care of. ”
Chunjiang nodded, and the steward next to Second Master Li came over, "Miss Qianqian, I'm really embarrassed, I heard that there is a miracle doctor's daughter by your side, I wonder if you can ask, do you have any hangover medicine here?"
"A hangover cure?"
"Yes, our lord drank too much last night, and now he's still drunk!" the steward smiled bitterly, if everything went well, they didn't have to ask if there was any hangover medicine, but at this time, there was a strong wind, and then it rained heavily, but it hadn't reached the ground yet, this, if there was a problem, the second master was still drunk, and they were afraid of accidents!
Lan Tang didn't wait for Li Qianqian to speak, and he took out a small medicine bottle from the purse on his belt, "Here." ”
"Here are hangover pills, there are only two left, half a pill at a time is enough, don't give him too much, otherwise you won't be able to cure the alcohol next time you use two at a time." ”
"Why?" asked the steward, puzzled.
Lan Tang spread his hands and said very blatantly, "How do I know this! This medicine that my father refined, I only know the efficacy of the medicine, I don't know how to refine it, and I don't know why it is like this, so don't ask me, just remember it well, don't make a mistake." ”
The steward nodded his head in thanks, and left with the medicine bottle.
"Second cousin is drunk again?" Ji Yao asked disdainfully.
Li Qian smiled and nodded, "Second uncle has a lot of entertainment!"
"Hmph, he doesn't seem to have any other skills besides drinking!"
Li Qianqian didn't carry it with her, only smiled, got up and went to Mother Ye, who was sitting on a small chair guarding the small red peat stove by the bonfire, with a small casserole on it, only millet and chicken in it, and the golden chicken soup was exuding a strong fragrance.
"It's almost right, the sect leader will sit and wait for a while, right?"
"Hmm. Li Qian took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant!"
"That is, this pot of chicken soup has been boiling for a long time. Mother Ye said with a smile, there is a place for a small red peat stove in the carriage she is riding, and this soup has been boiled all the way.
"Mother Ye said, I didn't make up for you when I went out, I looked like I had lost weight, so I specially boiled chicken soup for you to drink. Chunshou said while inhaling the aroma of chicken soup on the side.
"Well, it's hard work, Mother Ye. ”
I thought I could stay at the inn smoothly, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily, so I could only take shelter in the wilderness, and it seems that I will probably stay overnight in the wilderness tonight.
"But it's okay, when it rains, there is a low forest next to it to shelter from the rain, which is good. ”
This is also the case, after listening to Li Qianqian's words, the guards all smiled, they were afraid that the eldest lady would complain about this, and now that she said this, I don't want to complain to the general when I turn around, they didn't wait for people well, right?
