Chapter 12: On the Way

Sure enough, the thunder rolled, but there was no rain, and the sky gradually darkened, and two horses galloped in front of them.

The old servant looked at the two and said a few words to the steward headed by the Zhou family, and the steward turned his horse's head and headed towards Cheng Jiaoniang's carriage.

"Lady, because the weather is bad, the post station ahead is already full, there is no room, and the floor is full." Steward Cao said.

The curtain was lifted.

"Since there's nowhere left, let's keep walking." Cheng Jianniang said.

Steward Cao responded that he conveyed the order without the slightest doubt.

It's always been like this...

The old servant looked at Steward Cao in front of him, and his eyes fell on Cheng Jianniang's carriage again.

It's always been like this, everything is decided by this lady.

For example, when they left Beijing this time, they said that they wanted to take this lady back together, but it was just a temptation to say that they thought that the Zhou family would either hold this fool and not let go, or they couldn't wait to send it away, but the result was not, whether to go or not to go, it seems that it is not the Zhou family that can call the shots at all.

He suddenly thought of the cry of the man in the courtyard that he heard standing outside Cheng Jianniang's door that day.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but in retrospect, there was only one man in Cheng Jianniang's courtyard at that time...

Master Zhou cried to this little lady?

This kind of unbelievable thing the old servant felt that he would only think of it when his brain was broken.

But if not, then how can it be explained?

Looking at these servants of the Zhou family, the attitude towards Cheng Niangzi along the way, you can understand the attitude of the Zhou family towards Cheng Jianniang.

Love, closeness, not much is appropriate. Awe, to be exact.

I love and care for my niece, but I still talk about the past. Where does this awe begin?

There is also the Qin family of the princess's mansion who came to see him off. There is also the crowd of people on the Heavenly Street of the Lantern Festival that day, maybe it is not because the Zhou family got it, on the contrary, it is possible that the Zhou family got the quota on the Heavenly Street because of her...

Because of her?!

The old servant's mind exploded, and everyone immediately stiffened.

Could it be... It's her?

He subconsciously reached out and wanted to grab a nearby Zhou family attendant.

"Your family," he began.

Before he could finish speaking, someone in his ear shouted loudly over his voice.

"What?"

Hearing the words conveyed by the person next to the car to move on, Wang Qilang pulled the curtain of the car and asked with a glare.

"Still in a hurry? Didn't you talk about the post station? ”

"Prince Wang. The front post station is full, and I can't stay. The entourage of the Zhou family said, and his attitude was not much respectful, but a little contemptuous.

This young man chirped crookedly along the way, picked up and wore clothes, walked fast and felt that his body hurt, and he walked slowly and was unwilling to sleep in the wild, they were all in a trance and delusional that the lady of their family was a man, and the escort of this prince of the Wang family was a delicate little lady...

Sure enough, before his words fell, the little lady of the Wang family immediately raised her voice and screamed.

"Can't live? Why can't you live? If you have money, how can you not live in a post station? He shouted. What a poor sour! A handful of money was thrown over, and more people were willing to take the money and let out of the room. Childe, I'm rich! Childe, I just have the money to buy a comfortable! Childe, I didn't let you pay, what are you pretending to be poor! ”

When he said this, he patted the car and shouted at the old servant.

"Take the money, take the money, go and wrap the whole post station for me!"

The old servant looked a little embarrassed.

"Childe, you have something to say...," he persuaded in a low voice.

"What else do you say? What is there to say? Wang Qilang shouted, leaned over in the car and stood up, pointing ahead, "You stop for me, stop." ”

Although the entire convoy looked at Wang Qilang, the footsteps of the march did not stop, and the driver of Cheng Jianniang's carriage simply turned a deaf ear.

"Panic." Cheng Jianniang said, put down the book in her hand, "Stop." ”

Banqin hurriedly lifted the curtain and said, and the coachman stopped.

"Wang Gongzi, what are you going to do?" Banqin got out of the car and asked.

"I'm going to settle down at the front station." Wang Qilang said, "It's going to be dark again, can you find a place to live if you hurry again?" ”

"It's not going to rain." Cheng Jianniang said, looked at him and smiled, "You can live in the wild." ”

Living in the wilderness?

"You're crazy, aren't you? There is a place to live, you have to live in the wilderness! What a fool you are! Wang Qilang shouted, "I don't want to sleep in the wild and be bitten by wolves!" ”

"Why bother, besides, sometimes, man is much more terrible than a wolf." Cheng Jianniang said.

Or just say it's a! If you encounter something, you will be lazy!

Wang Qilang snorted.

"You know what! I've got the final say. He shouted, "I'm going to live in a caravanserais!" But if you don't listen, go yourself. ”

I knew that it would be so troublesome for Lu Dao to take this woman on the road, so he didn't take her!

When these words came out, the old servant's heart couldn't help but beat a few times.

However, the woman in front of her did not urge the horse forward.

"Since you say that you want to go together, how can you not believe your words." Cheng Jianniang looked at Wang Qilang and said.

Oops, this is a plea, right? This is a big reason to pressure him, right?

I promised to take her home, so I can't regret leaving her, right?

The picturesque beauty is not good at this, and it is so rigid to say the words of pleading, this sentence should be said with tears is the most appropriate.

"Forget it this time, if you are so disobedient and make your own assertions, don't blame me for being unkind!" Wang Qilang snorted and said.

Raised his eyes to look at the Zhou family's steward Cao on the side, looking at his eyes.

"What do you see?" He shouted angrily.

What a look! It's weird!

Steward Cao smiled and looked away.

"Also, how can a woman's family go all the way ahead, and make their own decisions everywhere along the way." Wang Qilang continued, "Go to the back, I'll go ahead." ”

After he finished speaking, he urged his carriage, and sure enough, he crossed the Jiao Niang to the front.

Banqin looked at Cheng Jianniang.

"What's the matter." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and said, motioning for her to come up.

Banqin smiled and got into the car.

The old servant was a little embarrassed and hurriedly took the people of the Wang family to catch up.

"Will you be able to lead the way in front of you?"

He heard a retinue of the Zhou family laugh in a low voice.

"These two fools are so funny!"

"The lady is so used to him!"

This was too much to bear, and the old servant turned his head to the attendant and glared angrily. With a bit of caution.

The attendant glared back unrelentingly.

The men and horses staggered.

The convoy moved on.

The old servant sighed suddenly.

"We should have hired some escorts ourselves." He said. "I'm not afraid of being left behind like this..."

The attendant next to him snorted. He looked at the old servant in bewilderment.

"Master Gu, who was left behind by whom?" He asked in surprise.

The old servant looked at him and said nothing.

"If you want me to say, lady, you are so polite." Steward Cao said, pouting, "This kind of thing...."

He blurted out, and then thought that this thing was Cheng Jianniang's fiancΓ©, and it was said that she also approved it, scolding other people's fiancΓ©s. Didn't you scold her too?

Steward Cao coughed twice, and a trace of panic flashed on his face.

It's really not a long memory, in front of this lady, talk less and be more obedient, let you do what you do! What a mouth!

β€œβ€¦ It's easy to talk about this kind of station, so I'll go over and check it out first. He hurriedly said.

Hearing Cheng Jiaoniang's humming in the car, she hurriedly patted the horse and walked forward.

"Lady, you have a really good temper now." Banqin smiled.

Cheng Jianniang glanced at her with a few eyes.

"Was I bad before?" She asked with a smile.

In the past, how the Cheng family treated her, how the Zhou family treated her, how Liu Liulang jumped to make trouble....The lady didn't treat it indifferently.

The prince of the Wang family said. It's really not a big deal.

Banqin smiled.

Maybe it's been a long time since anyone dared to treat a lady like this, and it's really unaccustomed to such a person suddenly appearing.

"You're disgusted and angry with him. It's because there are expectations. Cheng Jianniang said, "How do you think he should be, but how should he be, but what is the reason why the world should be full of kindness to you?" ”

Banqin nodded in a daze.

Yes, she just thinks that Wang Qilang should have a better attitude towards the lady... But why do you want to make people have a good attitude?

Wang Gongzi and his wife are distant relatives for no reason, but an undecided marriage contract, compared with Zhou Cheng's family, he doesn't owe and shouldn't owe them...

"And on the contrary, the malice of others in this world is the norm, so don't think about how others treat you like this, you have to get used to it, what does it matter if others like me or not?" Cheng Jianniang said, picking up the scrolls on a few cases, "I can't get in the way of myself." ”

If you get in the way, that's a different story.

Banqin nodded with a smile.

"The lady can see it clearly." She said.

Cheng Jianniang held the hand of the book and paused.

"If you want to see it, it's all blood and tears." She whispered to herself.

I can't remember what happened to me yet, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing.

The bloody corpses I saw in my dreams...

I forgot, it's good...

"Lady, drink saliva."

Banqin said, handing over the water bowl, interrupting her distraction.

Cheng Jianniang took it and drank it slowly.

After walking a short distance, we arrived at the post station.

This is a small post house, because today the sky is gloomy and thunder continues, causing many people to stay here for fear of rain, at this time the post house is overcrowded, not to mention the sleeping room, the hall can not get down.

"We have the money, let them get out of the room..."Wang Qilang said with his waist crossed, attracting the people around him to look around.

The old servant hurriedly motioned for him to leave it alone and ran to find the post man himself.

As a result, although the money in this place of the post station works, it is not the most effective, the most effective here is the official letter, there is an official letter can live in a house without money, and sometimes there is no money without an official letter, and sometimes it is not even a single room.

Soon the old servant came back with his head bowed.

"There's a Chase shop to get out." He said.

Chase shop? The descendants of the Wang family don't live!

Wang Qilang glared.

"Then no, it still cost a lot of money for ten people to let it out." The old servant said.

muttering and talking here, Cheng Jianniang over there has already asked people to set up a tent outside the post station, which makes Wang Qilang very faceless, so he has to let people clean up the Chase Shop.

"Don't build it, there's a room to sleep in." He came over and said.

Cheng Jianniang sat in the carriage, watching Banqin use the tandoor and didn't know what she was doing, and the fragrance spread with the wind.

"That kind of house. I can't sleep. Cheng Jianniang said.

Dare to play with your temper! Wang Qilang glared.

"There's a room where I can't sleep. Are you used to sleeping in a field tent? He asked.

"yes." Cheng Jianniang nodded. "My tent is fine."

Wang Qilang looked over there, he thought that Cheng Jiaoniang's car with a gift from the capital was being opened by the Zhou family's entourage and began to move one thing after another....

Felt mats, severals, grilles, smokers, lamps...

Lift down a four-legged low bed ....

A curtain...

A food bed...

That's not all, I even raised another screen...

Screen!

Are you kidding!

"You've moved your whole belongings?" He glared and shouted, "Did you plan to stay in a tent all the way in the first place?" ”

"Where, it's just a habit." Cheng Jianniang said.

It's just a habit, indeed.

Don't talk about this time, I think about the moment when they stumbled and didn't have a penny from the Daoist Temple. The lady has never been wronged in eating, drinking, living and traveling.

The bad situation can be endured, but when she has the ability, she will never be wronged and accommodating.

"Lady, let's have some snacks." Banqin said, holding a small plate.

The charred dumplings on the white porcelain plate are particularly tempting.

Cheng Jianniang took it.

"I'm tired, I want something to eat, Childe forgive me." She said, apologetic.

Wang Qilang snorted.

If you want to eat, you have to be so serious!

"Wait, let them prepare the meal." He said, turning around and muttering without forgetting to complain, "It's trouble to take a woman out!" ”

looked at Wang Qilang, who turned around and strode away. Steward Cao, who had been standing on the side and had never dared to speak more, couldn't help but curse a fool in his heart.

"Lady, are we waiting for the Wang family's son-in-law to arrange orβ€”" He asked respectfully.

"The cooks here can't do it." Cheng Jianniang said.

"The little one goes to the kitchen and buys some meat dishes." Steward Cao immediately answered.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

Steward Cao instructed his entourage to set up a fire and bury the pot. He drove a few more entourages into the backyard kitchen with the money.

Over there, Wang Qilang walked into the hall, and jumped out again in a moment, not to mention going in and guarding the table to eat, and he couldn't even stand in it.

Especially many people in a hurry, the old, weak, women and children squatting, diffusing an uncomfortable smell.

Wang Qilang covered his nose and withdrew helplessly.

"Childe, there are a lot of people, and the post station said that the kitchen can't make other food, only steamed cakes and pickled vegetables." The old servant came over and whispered.

This is undoubtedly to make matters worse, and Wang Qilang suddenly jumped.

If you don't have a place to live, you don't have to eat, doesn't it make that woman see a joke!

"Give them money, give them money," he shouted, and in the middle of his words, someone coughed behind him.

"This son."

Wang Qilang turned his head, and the old servant also turned his head to look, and saw that there were four or five men standing behind him at some point, a man of about forty or so with a kind atmosphere, and the other four were all dressed as guards, with a dusty face, and spoke with a capital accent.

"What for?" Wang Qilang asked.

"I heard you still have a Chase shop?" The man in the lead asked.

"I don't want to pay any money!" Wang Qilang flatly refused, what are you kidding, when he has never seen money called Hanako?

"We have an official letter." The man said with a slight smile.

Official?

Wang Qilang didn't care what that thing was, but fortunately, the old servant held him down in time to avoid spitting on the man's face.

"Official, since there is an official letter, you can live in a better room." The old servant said with a smile, "Why bother us, it's not easy to go out." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of money and stuffed it into the man.

The man smiled and pushed back.

"Childe misunderstood, I didn't mean that." He said.

What does that mean?

Wang Qilang frowned.

"We seem to see that Childe is also having trouble eating and housing, so we want everyone to cooperate." The man said with a smile.
