Chapter 790: Hengzhou
The old servant said that when he said this, he would not be allowed to see anyone, and it would seem unreasonable and unreasonable.
They are here to do big things, and they have already taken measures against the routine inspections of the government. Avoiding it will breed trouble.
The mute woman gave them a gesture and told them to wait, and she went in and helped her sister out.
The old servant turned his head and just looked at the snickering smiles of the two people behind him. He raised his sword and was about to fight, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know. When people come out, don't laugh!"
The two young catchers smiled to themselves, held back their faces and nodded. The old servant didn't care about the two of them, and stared at the door by himself.
And behold, the mute woman helped out a thin woman. I saw that her black hair was like a crow, and her eyes were as clear as an autumn lake.
Unfortunately, she had a sallow complexion and a large blue-gray birthmark on her right cheek. The steps were vain, and it was only with the support of the mute woman that he could barely walk out.
After just one glance, the two young catchers were startled and quickly looked away. I muttered in my heart, and it was really a rare ugly girl.
Only the old servant was still calm, and stepped forward to ask, "Dare to ask Sister Ling what is wrong?"
He asked the mute woman, but he looked at Xu Wanzhen. My sister is mute, but my sister can always talk, right?
Xu Wanzhen replied weakly: "Thank you for my uncle's concern, I have a strange disease and I am weak." ”
"Tomorrow, I'll let Cai Langzhong at the end of the alley take a look, he is a wandering Langzhong, and he has a bit of a reputation. The old servant kindly said, "Maybe he has something to do." ”
This sick woman reminded the old servant of his daughter who had just married, and he couldn't help but feel a little compassionate.
In the face of this kindness, the mute woman naturally could not refuse, but had to respond with great gratitude.
Xu Wanzhen leaned on her, pretending to be too weak to speak, and watched the three officials leave.
Her eyesight was excellent, and she saw that under the knives, chains and other things tied around the waists of the officials, the word "Hengzhou" was written on the rickety waist card.
Xu Wanzhen quietly retracted her gaze, and waited for them to walk away before she said in a low voice: "Sister, can you let go of me." ”
Only then did the mute woman let go of her fist against the "Kidney Yu" point on her back, and helped her to sit on a wooden bench in the courtyard before she stepped forward to close the courtyard door.
Before helping her out, Xu Wan really understood. If she had any movement, the mute woman would have been able to put her unconscious first. She has a strange illness left and right, and a sudden coma is not a big deal.
When she turned around, Xu Wanzhen smiled at her and said, "Sister will let me sit here." It's been a few days, and I haven't seen the sky outside. ”
After a moment's hesitation, the mute woman finally agreed to her request. is just guarding her side, not leaving an inch.
……
From Luoyang, go north along the Yongji Canal, pass through Weizhou and Linji, and arrive at the territory of Hejian Prefecture.
After the land of the two states, the cotton tree promised by Wang Leyu is nowhere to be seen. Along the way, he only introduced the scenery and scenic spots along the way, and was not in a hurry.
No matter how dull Tu Manfen was, she felt that something was wrong at this moment. The master and servant were in the cabin, sitting in the city of sorrow.
"Miss, the maid looked at Lord Wang, it didn't seem to be going for the cotton tree, it was ......" After a pause, Yinping plucked up his courage and said: "It's for you, Miss......"
Tu Manfen was startled when Yinping told her guess in her heart, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Then, what should I do?"
When they set off, Wang Leyu was impassioned, saying that he was going to the north on an errand, just so that he could contribute to what they were doing.
If he just said that, Tu Manfen wouldn't have listened to him. The point is, even Mr. Ning also said that since there is this opportunity, it is better to go north to see it in person.
The craftsmen in the left and right workshops have been making slow progress recently, and even if she stares at them every day, there will be no change.
Speaking of going out, Tu Manfen herself was quite tempted. She has grown so big that she has never been out of the capital. Listening to Wang Leyu's words, and Mr. Ning was sure, she also came.
However, at the moment, she had the feeling of being on a thief ship.
The ship is a two-story building ship with a smooth ride. Wang Leyu's guards and servants lived in the bottom cabin, and she and Yinping lived on the second floor, and the room was quite spacious and comfortable. Wang Leyu lives on the other side of the second floor. Between them, there is a large hall, and two small halls.
In the first few days, Tu Manfen didn't feel anything wrong.
The river is wide and rippling. Is there a waterfowl flying by, and at dusk you can see a fisherman rocking a boat and singing, and return with a full load.
Wang Leyu also doesn't often appear in front of their masters and servants, only when eating, he will definitely send someone to call on time. The three of them dined in the lobby on the second floor.
But when passing through Weizhou, Wang Leyu led Tu Manfen off the boat. He only said that there was very little cotton cultivation here, so he led her to wander around the city. I bought her some reed boats and took her to eat street snacks.
With such a person by his side, Tu Manfen was vigilant and found it interesting. She didn't have to think about it, he had already arranged everything.
She could tell that this was the first time he had been there. But he even knows all about what kind of delicate things are there.
Follow him, so that she can always be surprised.
Wang Leyu is also very polite and keeps a distance of half a foot from her. On the first day, neither she nor Yinping noticed anything wrong.
But, slowly. Before arriving at a large or small wharf, Wang Leyu would order the boat to dock, or enjoy the scenery, or hang out, but he didn't mention the cotton tree, and he didn't realize that he had official business.
Tu Manfen's heart gradually panicked, what was the purpose of him deliberately taking him out on this trip? In particular, she found that she had become more and more accustomed to his company.
Yinping can also see it, but no matter how loyal she is, she is only a maid with limited knowledge. When she was in the Anping Marquis Mansion, she could also take the opportunity to ask Xu Wanzhen for help. But here, she didn't have much to think of.
"Miss, the maid feels, why don't you ask clearly?"
Tu Manfen didn't have an idea in her heart, and Wang Leyu's eyes became more and more enthusiastic when she looked at her. And she wasn't ready to put herself in the hands of a man again.
The idea of the silver screen, although it is not a good idea, seems to be the only way to go.
However, she was not going to ask for clarification, but to tell him what she thought. If he really had this plan, it would be better for him to die of this heart.
After making up her mind, her mind was a little more settled. I was a little scared to face him, but I was afraid that I wouldn't solve the problem, so I could only go head-on.
"Good. I'll tell him tomorrow when I have breakfast. ”
Although she had made up her mind, she still needed a night to prepare.
