Chapter 131: Long time gone
Dali Siqing in the middle of the court is not very old, only in his forties, I heard that the new emperor succeeded to the throne and Xinpu ascended, this is going to be sick and don't have to come out by himself, the new emperor will be very anxious, and there is no need to hide it at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Therefore, Tao Xiushui guessed that the sick official might be Sun Zengquan, the head of the Hanlin Academy.
This person is upright, and there must be a lot of people who have offended, and I am afraid that even the current emperor is dissatisfied with him.
Otherwise, why would you secretly ask a doctor to come when you are sick?
She couldn't think of anything other than why the man didn't want to tell anyone.
But now that people don't want outsiders to know, it's better for her to pretend not to know.
She has never been to the capital, so it is natural that she doesn't know the inside story.
"Miss, Miss......"
"Ah......" Qingzhu actually called her.
"Surprise me, miss, I've been calling you old for a long time, what's wrong with you?
Tao Xiushui only thought about things, and when he heard Qingzhu speak, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just want to do something."
The carriages had already set off, and the sun had darkened outside, and it seemed that the night drive was unavoidable.
At this time, there were fewer caravans and more horses, and the number of people did not change, and everyone waved their horsewhips and ran, which was a sassy demeanor, and even the carriage drove quickly with puffs of dust and smoke, like fluttering ribbons that continued to extend backwards one after another, and there was no end to it.
Due to the smooth official road, no one felt the bumps, the goods in the carriage are made of a special material leather silk to tie the goods one by one in a wide box, stuffed with cotton wool in the middle, and then loaded one by one to block into a box, one after another to tie the box to the hanging plate suspended in the car body, even if the car is damaged, these ceramics will not have any problems.
So no matter how fast the horse runs, Tao Xiushui doesn't have to worry about it at all.
She lifted the curtain of the carriage and peeked at the black-painted carriage that followed closely behind, the car was good, the horse was fine, and the speed did not fall at all.
Compared with the carriages and horses of their caravans, it is really different from the nobles of the powerful family.
Autumn is bright, the horses don't stop, if it weren't for the scruples of feeding the horses some forage, I really want to keep walking.
They are all businessmen who are looking forward to entering Beijing to deliver goods soon, and they are all worried about whether their shops still have goods turnover.
Day and night, night and night turned into day, Tao Xiushui and the caravan's carriages and horses ran for ten days without stopping.
The 10-day journey was always run by horses in rotation, and the distance of the drive was twice as effective with half the effort.
In the distance, Tao Xiushui could see the wide gate of the city in front of him, and three words were faintly written on it.
"Miss, look, there's a city ahead."
Tao Xiushui was excited, she knew that it would not be far from the capital when she got there.
"There seem to be three words on the city gate, why can't I read clearly, can you see it, Miss?"
In the past few days, it has been difficult to convert the day from day to day, and the day is not so sleepy, and the master and servant have the spirit again.
Of course Tao Xiushui knows, but she can't say that last time she was kidnapped here by that mother-in-law, and she almost entered the capital, this time she didn't need to be caught and fell into the net, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
After thinking about it again, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, if she doesn't return to Beijing, she will never see her aunt, and she will never know how she died in the first place.
I don't know why the person who went to arrest her thousands of miles away in the capital arrested her?
"Miss, don't you see it either, alas, we're still a little far from there, and it won't be night when we get there! ”
"It shouldn't be this time, don't worry!"
Tao Xiushui comforted Qingzhu Dao.
I don't know how to do it last few times, and every time I pass through a city it's night, so they almost run out of food.
A few large characters on the city gate in the distance were clearly visible as the carriage galloped forward.
"Wangshan City, what a strange name, can you see mountains in this city?"
Qingzhu asked her own lady, Tao Xiushui really wanted to answer her, but when she remembered Ah San sitting in front of her, she couldn't answer.
I had to shake my head, "I don't know, maybe!"
"Yes, I forgot that Miss hasn't been here either," Qingzhu patted his head in annoyance.
Tao Xiushui smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Legend has it that there is a very loving couple in Wangshan City, the man is called Dashan, and the woman is called Ah Mei.
Although the two can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, they are not a good match.
Ah Mei's family is a big businessman, and Dashan is the son of a long-term worker in Ah Mei's family.
Although the two grew up together, they are very different.
Although there are countless people who oppose this family business, the two are together without hesitation, just because Ah Mei had a son before they got married.
There was no way, Ah Mei's family had to agree to this family affair.
But after a short time, Dashan died when he accidentally went up the mountain to collect firewood.
Ah Mei cried so much that she dreamed of the mountain at night and said that he was killed by her father.
She was so angry that she set fire to her mother's house in the middle of the night and burned her father and mother's family to death.
In the end, it was discovered that Mei had also died in front of her husband's grave.
Later, people grieved and gave this small city a name, called Wangshan City.
This is Tao Xiushui's nurse who often tells her stories.
At that time, she would ask Ah Mei why she was so ungrateful and killed her parents, but she didn't ask Dashan if her parents killed her.
The nurse will laugh, this is just a story, Miss has heard it, forget it, it can be so true.
But Tao Xiushui was more serious at that time, and when he thought of it, he would say that this Ah Mei was ungrateful and actually killed his parents.
Now that I think about it again, there may be something else going on.
Not all parents are real parents, and not all parents really love their children, just like the father of the former prime minister did to himself.
Tao Xiushui was lying in front of the car window thinking about distant thoughts, and unknowingly came to the outside of the city.
The caravan was still the same as every time, parked on the side of the road outside the city.
Qingzhu was excited, "Miss's car is parked, let's go into the city to buy it quickly"
Tao Xiushui was in the mood to be with this girl, patted her head and said, "You can find a few little girls to go by yourself! I'm a little tired."
"Okay then, Miss" Qingzhu didn't understand why Miss was still tired from sitting in the car, but she was obedient and didn't say anything more.
Tao Xiushui watched Qingzhu get out of the car happily, happily called the little maid to go into the city with her, and listened to the bustling chatter of various merchants again, and her heart was complicated.
The hometown is even more timid, and she is a little afraid to enter Beijing.
Ah San didn't know why, he thought that Tao Xiushui didn't get out of the car because something was wrong, and shouted outside:
"Miss Tao, there's something wrong"
"It's nothing, it's nothing" Tao Xiushui knew that Ah San was worried, and his mind sank before he got out of the car by himself.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that the well-dressed old man was talking to Xiao An, and when he saw her get out of the car, he shouted with a smile:
"Miss Tao, the old slave is about to talk to you"
