At the beginning of the day, there was still no one on the street, and the Baifu was already brightly lit, and more than a dozen carriages drove out of the gate of the Baifu in an orderly manner.

The leader was a canopy and red tassel eight-treasure car, followed by three slightly smaller canopy cloud tassel cars, and then behind were more than a dozen black painted flat-headed carriages, front and back, inside and out, guarded by several layers of guards, slowly driving towards the city gate.

The sound of horses' hooves and wheels running over the bluestone brick street alarmed many residents on the street, and they pushed their windows to look out in surprise.

The direction in which the carriage was coming was bright, who was not Baifu!

"This Bai family, it's such a big battle wherever you go!"

"Madame Bai is really lucky, and she deserves this battle. ”

"Isn't it just a few good daughters!"

"It's a good daughter, you have the ability to give birth to a good daughter, just like the five big and three rough men in your family Cuiyun, you will be jealous!"

"You mouth, see if I don't tear your stinky mouth!"

The people who watched were talking, some were envious, some were jealous, they were full of emotion, and they were all cold.

Where did such a big battle go, before dawn in the morning? The awakened people followed the carriage procession a few times, talked a few times, and went to work and sleep.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, just after Maozheng, the city gate had been opened, and there were already people rushing to the morning market or out of the city coming and going, and the carriages and horses of Baifu slowly drove out of the city in the early morning mist and drove all the way to the east avenue.

Bai Qiyu did not have the surprise of the first long trip, but continued to make up for sleep by relying on the pillow, there were only two people in the carriage, she and Wen Ying, Qiushui Qiuju and Yao's mother sat in the black paint flat-headed carriage behind.

Moon Young pulled the blanket to cover her shoulders, and stirred the charcoal in the carriage, and the whole carriage was warm.

There was silence inside the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside clearly reached his ears, Bai Qiyu fell asleep, but Wen Ying was in turmoil and felt depressed.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was an hour or two, the carriage suddenly stopped, Bai Qiyu was also awakened, he rubbed his eyes and yawned with his mouth wide open, and Wen Ying was helpless for a while, just a few days of getting along, she had already seen that this seventh lady did not have a concept of being a lady in her bones, she was steady and polite in front of outsiders, but she basically had no scruples in her own small circle, she should eat and drink, laugh and laugh, anyway, how to live comfortably.

Thinking of this, Wen Ying was stunned, it has only been a few days, is she already familiar with it so carefully? After all, it is still Miss Seven who does not shy away from it in front of her......

Wen Ying glanced at the sleepy-eyed Bai Qiyu and had to ponder.

Outside, a mother-in-law asked them through the curtain if they wanted to get out of the car and rest for a while.

Bai Qiyu stretched his limbs and said, "The bones are scattered, let's go down and walk." ”

As she spoke, she was about to get off the carriage, but Wen Ying called out helplessly, "Miss!" reached out and took a hat for her to put on, and tidied up her slightly wrinkled clothes.

Bai Qiyu smiled embarrassedly, like a child, seeing Wen Ying smile unconsciously.

The two got out of the carriage and saw that Mrs. Bai was being helped by Wang's mother into a simple tea stall on the side of the road......

Bai Qiyu took Yun Ying's hand and walked to the mother-in-law who spoke just now, "Mother Liu, this is?"

Mother Liu hurriedly smiled, "Miss Seven must be tired of going out of the carriage for so long, rest first, and go there to go to the toilet later, this place is a little simpler, and please Miss Seven endure it a little, and wait until she arrives at the official post." ”

Bai Qiyu nodded, "It's okay, it's inconvenient to go out after all, it's okay to have this." ”

Immediately went to wait under the shed outside the tea stall with Yunying, Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun also walked here after hearing what the woman said, Bai Liuyun looked around, but she looked disgusted.

Mrs. Bai came out of the hut in the tea stall at this time, and when she saw that the three of them were wearing hats in a proper manner, she nodded with satisfaction, and said, "When you go out, you will just be a little bit, just wait until you arrive." ”

Several people curts, "Yes." ”

Bai Shihua went in first, Mrs. Bai slowly got into the carriage, Bai Qiyu waited for a while, and after Bai Liuyun came out, she went in.

In the end, it was still a little uncomfortable, but it couldn't be, Bai Qiyu came out and waited for Yun Ying for a while, and then they went back to the carriage together.

After a while, I listened to the chatter and laughter outside, and opened the curtain next to me to look out, but it was a group of maids, and I saw Qiushui and Qiuju also holding their arms and looking excited, I couldn't help but say, it was difficult for women in ancient times to go out once, presumably they were also very happy, right?

Thinking again, when Qiu Ling went out in the morning, she looked like she was crying, Bai Qiyu sighed helplessly, now she can't make a decision, she can only wait for the future to slowly stabilize her strength, and then plan everyone's life well, I can't change the concept of people in this era, but within my own ability, it is also good to choose a better future for them.

Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, and he heard Mother Wang shouting outside, "Hold back the words, don't let people see jokes." ”

The maids chuckled again, but in the end they restrained a little, and stopped laughing and laughing.

The carriage stopped for less than two quarters of an hour and started again.

After getting out of the car and walking for a while, Bai Qiyu lost his sleepiness and was much better, so he chatted with Wen Ying.

"How far is this Linfeng City from the capital? I heard from Wang's mother that it will take about three or four days. ”

Although Wen Ying said that he had been there, he was not very clear, so he said, "It will take about three or four days to ride a carriage, and if you are riding a horse, it will be much faster, and it is estimated that you can get there in a day or two." It's also not quite a certain tone.

Bai Qiyu smiled, "If only I had the opportunity to learn to ride a horse." ”

Wen Ying was surprised, "This, how can there be a ...... for a woman to learn to ride a horse?"

Bai Qiyu was amused by her reaction, thought for a while, and said, "I once read in the book that women in some places can also go to the battlefield, charging into battle and riding horses to kill the enemy, even more heroic than men, real heroines! It's a pity that we can't do it here......"

"Miss, is there really such a place?" Wen Ying looked yearning when she heard this.

Bai Qiyu smiled, "I don't know where it is, but it's enviable......"

The carriage traveled on the official road for most of the day, stopping twice on the way, and when it came to Shenzheng, it stopped at an official post, because they took the general's palace to pay tribute, and those people were very respectful to them.

Bai Qiyu looked through the hat, this is a post station on the pipeline, with an inn for accommodation, it looks a little simpler, but because it is an official family, and there are post soldiers stationed, there will naturally be no problem with safety.

followed Mrs. Bai into the inn, because there was only one room left, so Bai Qiyu and Bai Shihua and Bai Liuyun lived in an ordinary guest room, of course, there were two personal maids with them, and the rest of the servants lived in other rooms.

Fortunately, it can be one person in one room, otherwise Bai Qiyu would really not be used to it.

Qiu Ju and Gu's mother lived in a small room in the backyard with other servants because they took care of the cage.

Bai Qiyu was accompanied by Yun Ying and Qiu Shui. As soon as he entered the guest room, Bai Qiyu threw away his hat and lay down on the bed without any image, shouting, "It's so comfortable!"

Qiushui had long been accustomed to it, and calmly went to pack the package he was carrying, but Yun Ying was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door, "Miss!"

What the hell is out there, and it wouldn't be nice if someone saw it!

Bai Qiyu rolled on the bed with a smile, "What are you nervous about, it's all closed doors next to here, who sees me!"

Yun Ying wanted to sigh helplessly when she heard this, she had to suspect that her young lady was actually a bad character......

Seeing that Wen Ying was busy pouring tea for her again, Bai Qiyu waved his hand and said, "You can rest quickly, this carriage for a day is sore all over......"

As he was talking, he heard the voice of Mother Wang outside, "Miss Seven?"

Bai Qiyu immediately bounced up from the bed when he heard the sound, and sat down at the front of the table for a long time, Wen Ying looked funny, went over and opened the door, "Mother Wang, come in and sit for a while, why don't you rest first?"

Mother Wang entered the house and said with a smile, "Miss Seventh is hungry, Mrs. said to let the slave maid come and ask a few young ladies what they want to eat, and let someone send it over when it is better." ”

"Then it's bothering Mom. "It's just in time, Bai Qiyu is feeling hungry.

immediately inquired, ordered a few dishes at random, and after Wang's mother wrote it down, she was busy.

Wen Ying closed the door, turned back to the table and poured Bai Qiyu a cup of hot tea.

"I don't know when I'll leave tomorrow morning...... When I arrived in the capital in a few days, I guess I would be completely dissolved...... Where did we stay?" Bai Qiyu took the tea.

Wen Ying said, "I think it's a house in Huaishu Hutong, where the old housekeeper of Mrs.'s mother's family takes care of ......."

Qiu Ying sorted out Bai Qiyu's clothes and other supplies, and then walked to the table and pinched her shoulders.

"Miss, I saw a man when I got out of the car just now...... It seems like...... It seems to be ......" Qiushui seems to be thinking about something.

Bai Qiyu was curious, "Who?

Qiushui glanced at Wen Ying, as if hesitating, Wen Ying unconsciously wanted to find an excuse to go out.

Bai Qiyu said, "Let's say, it's all my own people, what can't I say?"

Qiushui had no choice but to say, "That's it...... It was the man who rescued the young lady from the water in the first place...... But I only saw the side, I just felt a little like ...... "If Qiushui was with Bai Qiyu that day, then she was afraid that she would have already turned into a handful of loess, when she arrived with everyone, she only saw a side and a back from a distance, at that time, Mrs. Bai was accompanied by most cronies, so she could only keep her mouth shut sternly, so no one dared to speak."

In the final analysis, this kind of talk is detrimental to the reputation of her daughter's family, of course, Bai Qiyu doesn't care about this, but Wen Ying is slightly shocked, it turns out that Miss Seven was rescued with a hidden secret, no wonder Mrs. is also silent......

Bai Qiyu frowned slightly, "The person who saved me?"

Then there was surprise on his face, "Ah, you mean him?" and hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

As soon as he thought of this person, Bai Qiyu was excited, you know, that was the first person he saw when he came here, he was still a beautiful man! I thought about it for a long time when I returned to Baifu, but I didn't even find out about the news of the people, so I threw it aside.

Qiushui suddenly said seriously, "Miss, you fell into the water at that time, and the slave ran away in a panic, where do you remember what the person who rescued you is like, it seems that you were dazzled and recognized the wrong person just now......"

Dazzled, admit the wrong person, believe it is strange, it is estimated that he is afraid that he will do something out of the ordinary so he does not dare to tell himself, Bai Qiyu secretly speculated.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next morning, after breakfast, I packed up and went on the road again.
