Chapter 13 Seeing the extravagant old servant was frightened
When everyone came out of the valley, it was about about mid-afternoon, and they walked for two or three hours, and it was almost evening. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Xie Jiang finished the porridge and rice, Beidou twisted the wet handkerchief and held it, and said, "Madam, just wipe your hands." ”
"Well, don't cover the wet veil later, it won't smell bad." Xie Jiang took it and wiped his hands and handed it back,
"The slave knows." Beidou rubbed the handkerchief in the basin a few times, and when he saw that it was clean, he pushed open the door and leaned out to pour water, turned around and folded the handkerchief on the edge of the basin, and said, "The slave and maid put the basin on the edge to dry." ”
The carriage clattered forward, and the shadows of the trees flashed backwards.
Xie Jiang propped his elbows on the small table, supported his chin, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a while, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from ahead, and when she stopped outside the window, she opened her eyes and looked out of the window.
Beidou opened the curtain with great eyes.
But seeing that Liubai took the reins of his horse with both hands, he said outside the window: "Madam, there are still a hundred and ten miles to the next town, so it is better to rest in the forest tonight and hurry tomorrow." ”
It rained overnight last night, and the road was already soaking softly, and the car was running over and slipping.
What's more, it is already evening now, and if there is another hundred and ten miles, I am afraid that it will be dark.
The mountain road is rugged, and if you rush in the dark, it is indeed not very safe.
Xie Jiang thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”
Liubai had already explored the road, and knew that after going down this mountain road, there was a forest half a mile to the left, and the trees in the forest were sparse, and there was a large open space in the middle ring.
At this time, Xie Jiang responded, and raised his hand to the car window, and said, "Yes, I will order someone to prepare." With that, he knocked his feet on the horse's belly, rode his horse forward, and commanded everyone down the road.
But after a while, the carriage seemed to turn to the left and descended the road, and then the wheel of the carriage was tossed up and down several times, as if it were crushing stones and branches.
After walking so bummerly for a while, the carriage shook and stopped, and Wu Si said, "Madam, now I have entered the forest." ”
Xie Jiang raised his hand and lifted the curtain to look out, but saw a dozen or so men shouting to set up a tent and set up a stove, so he sat still.
After a while, sure enough, an escort came over and knocked on the wall of the car, bowed and said, "Madam, I need to clean it now, and I need to wait a while before getting out of the car." With that, he ran back to help.
Even if it is a night in the barren mountains and forests, it is common to remove weeds and pick up stones, Xie Jiang didn't care, he just thought that it was boring to sit so dryly, so he took the book from the couch.
I just turned through a dozen pages, and I came back with a blank space and said, "Madam, get out of the car." ”
Xie Jiang closed the booklet.
"The slave goes down first."
Here, Beidou didn't wait for instructions, Ma Yu jumped down, turned back and pulled out the footstool and placed it properly, first helped Mama Han down, and then turned back to help Xie Jiang, and said, "Madame, be careful, there is a little slippery ...... on the ground." ”
Xie Jiang took the little girl down, and when he turned his eyes to look, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but he saw that there was a clearing of eight or nine zhang square in the forest, and four linen tents were set up in the middle of the clearing.
Now it was getting dark, and she had excellent eyesight, and she could see that the stakes on which the tent was built were fixed on the ground, but as if to keep out the moisture, and the tent was seated on a plank......
And around until the edge of the woods, weeds and stones...... Pick it up cleanly......
Seeing that she turned her eyes and looked around, Liubai raised her hand and pointed to the tent that was slightly smaller in the middle, and said, "This is for Madame." Madame, please ....... ”
Xie Jiang was surprised in his heart, his face was normal, he nodded slightly to Liubai, and said, "There is labor." And he lifted up his feet and walked to the tent.
Beidou and Mama Han hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at the tent, Xie Jiang was stunned, Beidou hurriedly went up and lifted the curtain, and as soon as the curtain opened, the three of them were really stunned this time.
One or two steps into the tent is a wooden step, above which is a thick carpet of felt, a black lacquered wooden table in the center of the blanket, and four or five tufted pillows are placed around the table.
On the right side, a half-person-high carved screen separates the tent.
Looking through the gauze landscape painting on the screen, there seems to be a black lacquered couch behind it.
Not to mention that some of these things are sandalwood, and some are priceless, and they are only less than two quarters of an hour, and they are still made out of the barren mountains and wilderness...... Enough to be shocking.
"Madame......."
Mama Han was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but turn her face to look at Xie Jiang: "Madam, does this seem like a temporary rest?" ”
"Everyone's habits are different." Xie Jiang was surprised in his heart, but his face was not half a point, he took off his shoes and sat down at the table, glanced at Han Mama Beidou, and said, "What are you stunned, it's been a journey, and you don't sit down and rest." ”
"Oops! It's all cleaned up with such a little effort, slave and maid, take a look......"
Beidou couldn't help it, sat on the blanket with his ass, first turned over and rolled a few times, sat up and looked around, and finally took off his shoes and ran behind the screen.
From the Guanjin Cui family, to the Xie Mansion of Xinyu County, and then to the old residence of the Wang family of Yaoya, all of them are top rich and noble places.
It's just that...... It's just that the house is magnificent, and it's really rare to pay attention to the utensils and food so much when you are on the road......
Mama Han leaned over and sat on the felt and said in a low voice, "Madam, Xiao Langjun's identity ......." ”
Xie Jiang frowned and thought for a moment, then put his left arm and elbow on the velvet, stretched out the tip of his right index finger, and swiped it lightly from the table, and said: "Presumably in a few days, news will come from the Wu family, what his identity is, and then we will know." ”
There seems to be no other way to think of anything other than waiting for news.
Mama Han sighed, nodded and said, "That's it." ”
At this time, it was getting dark, and there were people coming and going outside the tent at first, but whenever they were closer to the tent in the middle, they took a light step.
After a while, there was silence outside.
Xie Jiang talked to Mama Han, Beidou turned around inside and out, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran out of the tent. After a while, it turned back again.
"Madame, it's time to eat."
The little girl turned back and opened the curtain, and when she entered the tent, she turned around, leaned over and put the tray on the edge of the table, and said while carrying the plate outside: "Just now, the slave went to find the fourth brother, and when I saw the blank space, the blank said that it was very inconvenient to come over in the evening, and let the slave and maid go to carry the food by themselves." ”
The little girl's mouth is non-stop, and her subordinates are even more ......
Xie Jiang and Mama Han couldn't help but look at the table together......
There are not many dishes, a plate of vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of white cakes, a plate of roasted brown oil, a fragrant piece of meat, and a small pot of soup.
It's not the point that the dish is green and good-looking, and the oil in the meat grill is not the point, but the utensils that serve the dishes.
The four plates are made of crustacea, with carved edges, diagonally inlaid with precious stones, and small pots for soup...... The body of the basin is crystal clear like mutton fat, and then up, the edge of the basin is rolled out, and the color is emerald green, and it is jadeite......
Silver plates inlaid with precious stones are not uncommon, and only jade pots are used to serve soup......
Mama Han looked at the table, looked like she wanted to say, but she didn't know what to say, she smacked her mouth, smacked her mouth, and muttered, "Madam...... I'm afraid this Xiao Langjun is unusual......"
PS:…… Who is Xiao Langjun? Ah Jiang was also quite confused......
