Chapter 7: On the eve of departure
Intellectually, Qing Yao didn't trust the two very much. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And the reason why she did this also has her own considerations.
The presence of those two was essential in her plans.
This move was to test the loyalty of those two men, and second, to facilitate their own actions. If the two of them don't come back, she will report the matter directly to the eldest lady, so that the two can be quickly arrested on the charge of defection.
"Don't let me down......
Qing Yao sighed leisurely, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile. The human heart is often unreliable, but sometimes it is moving.
The next day, the morning sun slowly rose in the sky, and there was already a long queue at the gate of the Du family's mansion.
"It's a little bit of a move. ”
A middle-aged man in a gray cloth shirt walked back and forth by the side of the carriage, directing the movements of the family from time to time.
Qing Yao walked out of the gate slowly, turned her head sideways and explained to the two maids beside her: "You two will be with me for a while, and ignore other people's conversations." As for the next matter, I will talk to you in detail when I get to the ancient temple. ”
"Yes. ”
Pity the wind and the moon understood her young lady's intentions, so after answering in unison, she followed with a calm demeanor.
When the three of them walked out of the main gate of the Du Mansion, the gust of wind with cold air quickly blew towards several people. I don't know if it's an illusion, but several people feel that the outside of the door is much colder than the inside of the door.
"Miss, it's cold in early spring, don't be cold. ”
Xifeng stepped forward quickly and put the white cloak he had been holding in his hand on Qing Yao's shoulder.
"Hmm. ”
Qing Yao looked sideways and responded lightly.
At this moment she stood still at the door, not stepping out of the door. She just glanced at the busy crowd and set her eyes on the street floor.
I saw that on the bluestone paved street, except for the busy Du family, there were no pedestrians passing by at the moment, and the whole street seemed deserted.
"Miss, what are you looking at?"
Seeing her gaze like this, Lianyue called out suspiciously.
Hearing this, Qing Yao glanced back at the person behind her, and replied softly: "It's nothing, you go and see if it's ready to go?"
"Okay, I'll ask the butler. ”
When Lianyue heard this, she didn't think too much about it, and she was about to walk out the door as soon as she jumped.
Seeing this, Xifeng stepped forward and grabbed it, and explained in a low voice: "What do you look like, this is not in our small courtyard, which lady and lady have seen it, and I have to say that the young lady has no way to discipline her." ”
"Sister Xifeng......" Lianyue shouted softly at Xifeng's gaze.
Qing Yao looked at the two beside her, shook her head lightly and said, "Pity the moon child's temperament, there is no need to say much. ”
"Yes, Miss......"
After Xifeng responded, he stood silently and waited.
"Da Da Da ......"
The dense footsteps made several people present subconsciously look behind them.
"Master, eldest lady, third lady, fourth lady, Miss Yuerou......"
"Father, eldest lady, third aunt, fourth aunt, sister Yuerou......"
At this moment, two completely different voices sounded, and the people who were about to walk straight over had to stop.
Seeing this, those people nodded indifferently, and then they didn't react too much.
The third lady covered her mouth and chuckled, and swayed forward to greet her: "Qingyao, it's so early......
"Third Aunt ......"
Qing Yao nodded lightly, in response to the other party's words.
If it weren't for the fact that a few people would see what was wrong with her, she wouldn't want to come into contact with them at all.
Seeing that the other party showed that cold appearance, the third lady waved the handkerchief in her hand boringly, and staggered closer to the master of the Du family again.
At this moment, the gray-clothed butler had already walked to Master Du's side, and the two of them whispered so that everyone could not hear what they were talking about.
"Alright, let's go. ”
When Master Du looked up at the carriage at the door, he looked back and waved to a few people behind him.
When the others heard this, they all walked down the stone steps and towards their respective carriages.
Qing Yao, supported by the wind, stepped on the stool and slowly sat into the carriage. Behind her, the two maids also followed closely behind and got into the carriage.
"Departure ......"
"Driving ......"
When the carriage moved slowly, she lifted the light blue curtain of the window with her hand, silently stared at the gate of Dufu that was gradually moving away, and thought calmly in her heart: "I will never come back after leaving this time." ”
When the door of the Du Mansion disappeared from sight, she slowly lowered the curtain and withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, she began to look inside the carriage in which she was located.
The Du family may be looking good in front of people, so the interior decoration of the carriage is not bad in her opinion.
The interior of the carriage was spacious, and the resting place was covered with a soft blanket, which, judging by the touch of the fingers, should be the fur of some kind of animal.
In the center of the carriage was a small wooden table that could be moved, and a small cabinet was fixed near the rear. Slowly opening a few drawers of the small cabinet, a few books and various pastries and preserves are impressively listed.
"It's exquisite. ”
Qing Yao had a chuckle on the corner of her mouth, quite satisfied with what she saw in front of her.
At this moment, the two maids have already placed the package they are carrying. Because the famous ancient temple is deep in the mountains, it is necessary to spend at least one night there to have time to pray for blessings.
Therefore, she carried the package and did not bother to be obtrusive, and besides, the things she carried were really small compared to the people in the carriages in front of her.
It is precisely because of this that Qing Yao will let Yahuan bring the items she needs to use when she plans to leave, without worrying about arousing suspicious eyes.
On the carriage, Liyue's eyes shone brightly, and she happily stuck out her head to look out of the carriage.
"Miss, it's so lively outside. ”
Qing Yao saw that Lianyue was so excited, so she also nodded in agreement with her words. Looking at the ancient street through the car window, all kinds of cries and sales are endless, and a prosperous and lively picture comes into her eyes. At this moment, the customs and customs of another world filled her senses, so that she now had the true feeling that she had changed time and space.
"Da Da Da ......"
When Qing Yao heard the horse's footsteps getting faster and faster, she felt that the carriage was moving faster and faster. She opened the curtain of the car again and looked out of the car with her eyes closed.
In her sight, a majestic ancient city grew smaller and smaller, and the noise of the crowd gradually receded.
"It's getting more and more interesting......"
At this moment, she is full of novelty and exploration of the world.
As the carriage swayed forward, the passers-by encountered along the way gradually became scarce. The scenery that appears in sight gradually turns into endless grass and sparse shrubs.
Seeing this, Qing Yao slowly leaned lightly on the soft collapse, and the nerves that had been tense for the past few days gradually relaxed.
