Chapter 281: The Eunuch's Loyal Dog Career (9) Wan Chang
Ruyi stretched out his hand to take it, and then gave it to Zhu Yao. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhu Yao held the hot tea, the hot tea went down her throat to her stomach, and her whole body seemed to be warmed up because of this small bowl of tea. Zhu Yao sighed comfortably, lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and said to the conversation with a smile: "Thank you, talk about it!" ”
Tan Jin blushed uncomfortably, took the tea bowl in Zhu Yao's hand, and said in a low voice: "The princess doesn't have to be polite to her subordinates, this is what her subordinates should do." ”
Zhu Yao's eyes widened, and Tan Jin suddenly understood that he had said the wrong thing. After looking around, no one noticed this, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The carriage moved slowly forward, and finally reached the gate of the city at a turtle speed.
"Who is in the car? Get out of the car and check! The officers and men unceremoniously pushed and shoved the curtain of the car.
Zhu Yao sat calmly in the carriage and did not move, and Ruyi clenched her hand nervously.
Tan Jin stuffed a piece of silver into each of the two officers and soldiers who were inspecting with a smile on his face, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, take it to drink tea." Uchiko's house is not here, no, homesick, I'll accompany her back for a trip. ”
"Let's go, let's go!" The two officers and soldiers took Tan Jin's money and let him go happily.
"Hey, thank you, sir. Invite the two of you to tea another day. Tan Jin stretched out his hand to thank him, got into the carriage, and shouted "...... drive", and the carriage kicked and ran away.
Zhu Yao and Ruyi felt the carriage run again, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, both of them were carrying a heart, and now they finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.
Zhu Yao lifted the curtain on the car window and looked out, at this time they had successfully left the city, and the imperial city was far behind, and there were abandoned fields on both sides. A cold wind blew, bringing a chill in the air. But Zhu Yao felt extremely happy in her heart! The palace was like a cage decorated with great magnificence, which had trapped her mind and imprisoned her soul, and now she was free again!
But at the same time, Zhu Yao clearly knew that this was not her feeling at all! The strange feeling that there was another soul hidden in the body came back to the surface.
"What's the matter, princess, your face is not very good. Is it cold? Ruyi noticed Zhu Yao's pale face and asked with concern.
Zhu Yao steadied himself and shook his head. She has also had this situation, and that was when she first started to do the task, and that time it was because the original owner had an unfulfilled wish, so what about this time? What does the original owner of this body want?
The carriage jolted all the way along the official road and moved slowly. Until dark, they didn't find a place to rest. Tan Jin looked at the sun that was about to set, and respectfully asked Zhu Yao's opinion, "Princess, it's about to get dark." Do you think we're going to keep going, to find a place to rest, or to rest? ”
"Rest on the spot. You're tired after a day of driving. You rest for a while, and Ruyi and I will prepare dinner. Zhu Yao lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage without waiting for him to help himself. She had been sitting in a carriage all day, and she had long since been suffocated.
Tan Jin didn't refute her words, but after tying up the horse, he turned around and went into the woods next to him to collect firewood. Ruyi had already taken the things he was going to eat for dinner from the car.
As soon as Tan Jin came back, Ruyi hurriedly lit a fire and cooked rice. Since Ruyi came, Tan Jin hasn't been in the kitchen. Of course, Zhu Yao is the same as before, she has never been in the kitchen. Because on the day Ruyi just came back, she tried to make a dish by herself, and after that, Ruyi didn't even let Zhu Yao in the kitchen door.
It's really Zhu Yao's dishes that are terrible! That thing is more powerful than poison!
After dinner, Zhu Yao and Ruyi went into the carriage to rest. Tan Jin sat next to the fire, looking at the flames, quietly thinking about things. This way to Jiangnan, although I haven't heard of any robbers, but he is alone with two girls who are like flowers and jade, especially one of them is so special, it is easy to say that he was robbed by robbers. I am afraid that it will be found by officers and soldiers, and it will be troublesome.
Tan Jin thought about it, and drew a road map to Jiangnan on the land with the wooden stick under his hand.
From the imperial city to Jiangnan, the distance is not far or close. There are water routes, and there are land routes. By water, it will take about ten days or so. By road, it is slower, and you have to go farther and back again. So, it will take about half a month.
The wooden stick in Tan Jin's hand clicked and dotted on the two maps, and finally landed on the land map.
Under the reflection of the firelight, the expression on Tan Jin's face was clearly extinguished, and he couldn't see clearly.
After dawn, the three of them washed up briefly and then got back on the road. With last night's calculations, Tan Jin's speed of catching up with the car is getting slower and slower. Zhu Yao was not in a hurry. After a day of adaptation yesterday, sitting in the carriage at this time, Zhu Yao recovered his spirits. Pulling Ruyi, the two stretched out their heads to look at the scenery outside, chattering and discussing.
Tan Jin was driving the car while listening to the chatter of the two people in the carriage. In the distance, an unknown bird perched on the gray branches of the trees, singing merrily.
After walking for half a month, the carriage finally entered the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as you enter Jiangnan, not only the temperature has risen, but the breath of spring has also become a little stronger. Along the way, on the low slope outside the city gate, friends in twos and threes meet to go out, which is also a unique flavor.
After entering the city, Zhu Yao was not in a hurry to go to her grandfather's house. She took Ruyi and Tan Jin to stay at an inn near her grandfather's house. On the second day, Zhu Yao purchased a lot of things on the street, and did not stop until he spent all the money on Ruyi's body. Then he came to the door with these gifts and a wishful peace talk.
Zhu Yao's mother's surname is Wang, and the Wang family is also a big family in Jiangnan City, and it is also a famous family of scholars in the local area. Count three generations above Zhu Yao's mother, and there have been officials from the third grade. It's just that the Wang family saw it thoroughly, so they left the officialdom early. Zhu Yao's maternal ancestor is just an idle position with five grades, and this is because of the relationship between Zhu Yao's mother and concubine, and his grandfather is willing to hang it.
But don't underestimate the Wang family. Although the children of the Wang family are not officials, many of their protégés are officials in the court. Now the third-grade member in the court, Zhu Yao heard that it was her grandfather's protégé.
The gate of the Wang family faces west, and there is no stone lion of the general family at the door, but two bushes of bamboo are planted. The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, which is very poetic.
