Chapter 2: Returning to Another World 2
In the cloudless sky, a warm sun hung high.
A wide, flat official road was embedded in the endless fields, and a quaint horse-drawn carriage without fancy ornamentation galloped across the official road under this clear sky, and the wheels carried up the dust.
The carriage was pulled by a tall brown steed, and on the rim sat a young man wearing a blue caftan brown robe with a whip in one hand and the reins in the other.
The curtain of the carriage was tied to one side, and two men of similar age could be seen sitting in the carriage, one dressed in a brocade dress and the other in a dark blue caftan brown suit, and it was clear from the clothes that they were in very different positions.
There was still a person lying on the board of the carriage, but because the light in the carriage was a little dim, and the person's face was just in the shadows of the carriage, it was impossible to distinguish the appearance, so it was only a woman who could be seen from the dirty clothes.
"Master, the eldest young master has always liked to go against you, this time the old man has not done a good job, if you let the eldest young master know that you rashly take someone back to the house, I am afraid that you will take the opportunity to fall into the well, then the master will be really in trouble. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your second aunt!" sat by the door of the carriage, and the man in a dark blue caftan brown suit said worriedly.
"Zhiwu, you don't need to say much, let me raise ten thousand taels of silver within a month, they are intent on making things difficult for me, even if there is no such thing as today, I am afraid that I will not be much better when the month period comes. After all, it's a life, how can you ignore it even if you encounter it? I'm afraid that the eldest brother will take the opportunity to fall into the well, just don't let him know. The man in a brocade robe sitting in the back of the carriage looked indifferent.
"But master, her identity is not clear, and she is dressed like this...... Weird, what if it's a villain?" Lin Zhiwu, the man in the dark blue caftan brown suit, looked at the person lying on the car board.
Lin Zhiwu was obviously a little hesitant when it came to dressing, he had never seen such a dress, and he really didn't know how to describe it, so he hesitated to say the word "weird".
"Are there a few weird people in this world? Besides, how can I say that I am also a dignified seven-foot man, and what can she do to me as a weak woman? Zhu Zimo, it was the man in a brocade dress who said nonchalantly.
"Master......" Lin Zhiwu called as if he disagreed.
Zhu Zimo no longer argued with her, and only ordered: "When you get to the mansion, you take her into my bedroom, be careful on the way, you must not let the eldest brother see her appearance, if the eldest brother sees it, she will be really dangerous, no matter who she is, she must not be destroyed in the hands of the eldest brother." ”
"Yes, sir. Seeing that Zhu Zimo couldn't be persuaded to move, Lin Zhiwu had to respectfully agree.
Looking at the window next to me, through the gap in the wind-swept curtains, you can see the endless fields outside the car, and the green patch seems to be connected to the sky.
The carriage was quiet for a while, and suddenly Zhu Zimo asked, "Zhiwu, it will be the twenty-fifth birthday of the eldest brother in a few days, right?"
I don't know what Zhu Zimo meant by asking, Lin Zhiwu only replied honestly: "Yes, master." It is estimated that the old man and the eldest lady should also be anxious about the marriage of the eldest young master. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo chuckled, and his eyes still fell on the curtains that were swaying in the wind.
Lin Zhiwu only heard his grandfather's unclear words: "Zhiwu, you are wrong, my father and mother have long been anxious about the marriage of my eldest brother." Let's take a look at which young master in Kyoto didn't marry a wife and have children at the age of a weak crown, but the virtue of the eldest brother is not worthy of any serious girl, otherwise it would not have dragged on until now. ”
Nodding, Lin Zhiwu was noncommittal: "This is also true, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest young master was so unlearned and unskilled that no one dared to accept the eldest lady's proposal, you wouldn't have dragged it out until now!"
Regarding Lin Zhiwu's complaining words, Zhu Zimo didn't care at all.
However, Zhu Zimo felt that he also needed to let Lin Zhiwu remember what the "distinction between master and servant" was, so he reminded lightly: "Zhiwu, don't talk nonsense! After all, that is my eldest brother, the eldest son of the most noble concubine of the Zhu Mansion." ”
The implication of this is that what Zhu Zimo can say is not what Lin Zhiwu can also say. Just because Zhu Zimo is not good, he is also the son of Zhu Mansion, Zhu Ziyao's half-brother, and the second young master of Zhu Mansion.
Lin Zhiwu is not stupid, being reminded by Zhu Zimo like this, Lin Zhiwu was shocked, and said in his heart that he really shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of the master behind his back, so he quickly nodded and said yes.
I don't know how long it took, Leng Qing felt in a very turbulent environment in a daze, and the sound of two men's conversations came intermittently in her ears.
Leng Qing couldn't hear or understand what these two voices were talking about, she only felt that she was sore all over, and her left chest was even more painful, and her hands and feet were very uncomfortable, so she subconsciously moved her fingers to relieve her.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, it's okay not to move, but as soon as Leng Qing moved, he felt more and more unbearable pain in his left chest, and when he fell into a drowsiness again.
"Master, this girl seems to have just woken up. Lin Zhiwu, who had been distracted by Leng Qing, reminded him on the side.
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo finally glanced at Leng Qing who was lying on the board of the carriage, but just one glance at Zhu Zimo looked at the window beside him with a fluttering curtain.
Zhu Zimo said in a very indifferent tone: "Well, I woke up, but I fainted again." The perseverance of this woman who could hold on for so long after such a serious injury was somewhat beyond my expectations. ”
Looking at Leng Qing, whose eyes were closed, Lin Zhiwu couldn't help but sigh: "Yes! I was stabbed in the heart by a sharp object, and I still have breath, even a seven-foot man may not be able to hold on for so long! This kind of perseverance is really admirable." ”
If Miss Cheng had such tenacious perseverance four years ago, no, if Miss Cheng hadn't despised herself so much at that time, or if he had guarded Miss Cheng so well at that time, his grandfather would not have ......
Looking at Leng Qing, who was lying quietly in an unconscious state, Lin Zhiwu wanted to sigh so much, but because of Zhu Zimo's presence, Lin Zhiwu could only meditate in his heart, and finally did not dare to show it.
"Zhisheng, hurry up the carriage and make sure to get back to the house before it gets dark. Zhu Zimo suddenly whispered to Lin Zhisheng, who was sitting on the wheel outside the car and was responsible for driving the carriage.
"Yes. Father. Hearing this, Lin Zhisheng respectfully agreed, and then the horsewhip in his hand was raised high and then fell.
The whip sounded in the air, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened, neighed, and immediately spread its hooves and ran more happily, which can be described as a wild gallop.
Although the horse pulled the carriage and galloped wildly, Zhu Zimo, Lin Zhiwu, and Lin Zhisheng were fine, but they really should also take care of Leng Qing, who was seriously injured and almost only had one breath left, if one of them was not good, it would add fuel to the fire! I am afraid that Leng Qing was not stabbed to death by Chen Haoxian, but also killed by this galloping carriage......
At ten o'clock in the evening, the carriage carrying Zhu Zimo, Lin Zhiwu, Lin Zhisheng and Leng Qing finally stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.
At this time, the sun is setting, and there is a round of red sun in the distant sky, and the red glow is floating all around, showing a brilliant color.
Looking up, there is a plaque with red gold on a black background hanging above the gate of this magnificent mansion, but the two big characters in red gold are the word "Zhu Mansion".
At this time, the lantern has been hung under the eaves in front of the Zhu Mansion, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflects the two stone lions on both sides of the stairs in front of the Mansion Gate, which looks a little hideous.
Lin Zhisheng, who was sitting on the wheel, jumped out of the carriage first, Zhu Zimo, who was dressed in a brocade dress, then got out of the carriage, and Lin Zhiwu waited until the end to jump out of the carriage with Leng Qing, who was still unconscious.
It was only at this time that Leng Qing was finally exposed, and her pale and bloodless face, frowning willow brows, and pursed lips all revealed her pain at the moment.
Leng Qing is still dressed when she went to see Chen Haoxian, but the expensive Saint Laurent women's white silk long-sleeved single-breasted solid color shirt has been stained with blood, and there are a lot of grass clippings on her clothes and hair, I really can't imagine what she experienced after being stabbed by Chen Haoxian, how did she become what she is now.
In order to avoid Zhu Ziyao, that is, Zhu Zimo's half-brother, Lin Zhiwu consciously hugged Leng Qing and bypassed the main gate of the Zhu Mansion and went towards the back door of the Zhu Mansion.
Lin Zhiwu knew very well that only by entering the Zhu Mansion through the back door in the narrow alley that was inaccessible to people would the chances of meeting Zhu Ziyao, the Great Demon King of the Mixed World, the lowest.
Seeing that it was the second young master who had gone out to run errands from his home house had returned, the two guards in charge of guarding the door had already consciously pushed the main gate of the Zhu Mansion open, but when the heavy wooden door with two open vermilion lacquer doors was pushed open, there was a Pixiu stone screen engraved with gold and silver jewelry engraved on the door to cover the sight of looking inside.
"Zhisheng, go to the crepe doctor on South Street and invite the crepe doctor to my bedroom to see the girl, hurry. After finishing his words very quickly, without even glancing at the two long, five-year-old and three-thick nurses, Zhu Zimo entered the main gate of Zhu's mansion without squinting.
After Zhu Zimo's order, Lin Zhisheng got into the carriage again, shook the reins in his hand vigorously, and drove the carriage to Nanjie to ask for a crepe doctor.
After entering the door, bypassing the Pixiu stone screen and passing through the weeping flower gate, Zhu Zimo walked straight towards the depths of the inner courtyard of the Zhu Mansion.
After going around and turning around, Zhu Zimo walked to a courtyard with three small seal characters engraved on the gate of the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard gate and passing through the depressed courtyard, Zhu Zimo ascended to the second floor of the only attic in the courtyard. Walking to the side room on the left side by the stairs, as soon as he pushed the door open, Zhu Zimo shouted loudly: "Mother, Mo'er is back." ”
In the inner room of the simple wing room, the beautiful woman lying on the bed was stunned at first when she heard the voice of her baby son, and then she wanted to get up from the bed with a surprised face, but because her body was too weak, she didn't get up for a long time.
At this moment when the beautiful woman was tossing herself, Zhu Zimo had already opened the bead curtain hanging from the moon-shaped arch separating the inner room and entered the inner room.
