Chapter 124: Return to Changle
It's just that what he doesn't know is that the rich and prosperous Changle City is no stranger to Qi Nian. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, on the contrary, is familiar.
After all, in his previous life, he met the fourth prince Li Jinyu by chance when he was eighteen years old, and he was coaxed by a sweet dream woven by him to leave everything and go to Changle City with him, which was two years in a flash.
Until the year she died.
Now, she's finally back.
The carriage swayed along the official road for several days, and had just arrived at a small town outside Changle City, and had to stop at the tea shop on the side of the road at the request of the delicate Miss Seven, and eat tea and rest.
The seventh lady is the golden branch and jade leaf of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the yellow flower girl who has not yet been married, no matter how open the people of this Weiyang country are, it is not good to show up on the roadside in this countryside.
Yes, of course, Qi Nian was inconvenient to get out of the car, so he only sent a girl out to get some tea and a few snacks that could still be eaten. The others were all sent by the Chinese steward to drink tea and eat, after all, it was a tiring day of carriage and horses, even if the foot was not too fast, it was very tiring.
The Chinese steward was originally the son of the big housekeeper in Washington, but he was young but very good at looking at people, maybe he had followed his eight-sided housekeeper father for a long time, and he learned the ability to see people and talk about people and ghosts and talk nonsense early.
Yes, although he has been tossed by Qi Nian these days and almost lost his temper, he is still very patient to accompany the smiling face in front of the saddle and behind the horse, which really makes Qi Nian amazed at his face.
Except that at the beginning, in order to test the spirit of this seventh lady, he deliberately made a condescending appearance, probably thinking that if he picked up a soft persimmon, he would have to pinch it well.
Who knows that this is not only not a soft persimmon, but also a thorny flower, hiding needles and smiling knives.
Since then, the Chinese steward has embarked on a road of no return. The journey that could have been completed in five or six days was dragged by the weak and squeamish Seventh Miss until now it was the thirteenth, and I don't know if he would be severely beaten when he returned home to thank him for his dereliction of duty.
But this is really something that can't be done, even if this seventh lady is an ignorant woman who grew up in a remote mountain city since she was a child, her identity is a real prime minister's daughter, who dares to offend.
He's not tired anymore.
While he was still sighing in the pergola of the tea shop, Qi Nian happened to sit in the comfortable and spacious carriage, enjoying the gentle and intimate service of the maid.
These four maids are really well-trained and very strict, although they all have different faces and call different names, but their words, demeanor, and actions seem to be carved out of a mold, and they are all very impartial and impartial, so that people can not find the slightest mistake.
It's not at all like the four girls when they were in Qi Mansion, each with their own temperament and behavior, although they were all invited to leave one by one later, but fortunately, they are still very interesting.
Compared to today, it was really dull.
It turns out that the so-called demeanor of everyone is such a stroke of a stroke that outlines everyone into a look. The subordinates are the same obedient and obedient, and the ladies are the same gentle and considerate, so aren't the sons and ladies all the same obedient and obedient in order to be what the elders want?
Thinking about it like this, people can't help but shudder.
Qi Nian is not a lively personality, if all the people around him are like a stuffy gourd, then wouldn't this day be a mushroom?
Yes, and she is in line with the idea of having some fun in life, these days she is either pretending to be rude and willful and unreasonable or pretending to be ignorant and shouting, so pretending to be stupid and stunned has taken off a lot of disguise for them, and it has become easier and easier.
At this time, the two maids named Rouge and Lady Makeup respectively were kneeling on the soft and thick carpet to add a handful of quiet and elegant agarwood incense to the small furnace of the brown glaze aromatherapy furnace of the Yue kiln, while the other two people, named Yuan Dai and Jiao Li, were sitting on the side, placing fresh pastries and fruits on the small table in front of Qi Nian.
They were doing these meticulous tasks in such an orderly manner, which made Ah Yao feel uncomfortable, and suddenly felt that there was no place to put a pair of eyes and hands.
After all, she is a good player at dancing knives and sticks, but she doesn't know anything about these trivial things.
Qi Nian had seen Ah Yao turn around and knock over the cup full of piping hot tea in Rouge's hand, and this cup fell on Jiao Li's body, spilling her and the women's makeup next to her full skirt.
Yuan Dai saw that she hurriedly took the Luo Pa in her hand and was about to wipe the water from their skirts, but she saw that Ah Yao suddenly stood up in a panic, and smashed the cup that fell to the ground but happened to roll to her feet with one foot.
Suddenly, the little girls were all stunned, and they stood completely helpless.
How strict the rules of Washington are, these girls who have served in the mansion since they were children naturally know.
And the cup that was trampled in front of him was still carefully carved from the finest jade, and its price was very expensive, and these girls were even more like a mirror in their hearts.
At that moment, several people turned pale with little faces, and knelt in front of Qi Nian with a plop.
Ah Yao was slightly surprised, but she still quickly hooked all the scattered debris with her feet, so that their knees did not go straight up and hurt.
Qi Nian only took all the emotions into his eyes, and because of the exclamations caused by the previous series of misses, the footsteps of someone quickly approaching outside the carriage sounded.
Steward Hua's voice was as eager and sincere as ever, and his loyalty was vividly demonstrated in just two sentences, which is also a talent. He asked with great concern, "Miss Seven, what's wrong?" But what is the situation that needs the help of my subordinates? ”
However, casually glanced at the frightened and frightened faces of the girls who knelt on the ground, and Qi Nian knew everything in his heart. She cleared her throat, and Fang picked up the shelf and replied reservedly: "It's okay, I won't bother you." ”
The manager of Nahua cared about a few more words outside before giving up.
Qi Nian glanced at the girls who were still kneeling honestly, and couldn't help but whisper: "Why don't you stand up quickly, what are you doing on your knees." I put things away and disposed of them carefully, and no one would think about where such an inconspicuous teacup went. ”
The maids looked at each other as if relieved, and then climbed up trembling with the corners of their skirts.
Rouge and Jiaoli hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the fragments of the cup at Ah Yao's feet, but when they raised their eyes, they saw that Ah Yao had already packed them all, wrapped all the fragments with a handkerchief, and carefully put them in their sleeve pockets.
Qi Nian couldn't help but smile and glanced at them with a sluggish face, and then pretended not to see it and deliberately said to A-Yao: "Next time we stop to rest, you will find an opportunity to get out of the car and throw it away, and then we will die without proof, and no one will have to be held responsible." ”
