044. Are you ugly or am I ugly
Jiangcheng is not far from Rose City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWhen the next day was full of sunrise, the carriage had already driven into the Great City Gate. The coachman, who had been driving all night, was a little tired, and when Lin's mother was buying food, he fell asleep against the door frame.
"Madame didn't close her eyes all night, but it's good that you actually leaned here and fell asleep." When Lin's mother returned to get on the horse, she saw the sleeping coachman and was immediately angry.
Gu Jiayi lifted the curtain, greeted by the refreshing morning breeze, took a deep breath, and even purified the depths of her lungs. The morning glow in the sky, the brilliant light sprinkled on her slightly upturned face, as if coated with a layer of gold powder, although wearing a veil, but also beautiful as a sculpture.
"Mother Lin," she listened to the coachman's argument, lest she wake up Mrs. Ji, who had just fallen asleep, she walked out and smiled slightly, "This eldest brother who drove the car hasn't slept all night, why don't you let him rest next to him, I'll catch the car, and Mother Lin will show the way?" ā
"Miss, this can't be helped, this is the work of a rough man." The coachman listened and said embarrassedly. Mother Lin also echoed in agreement.
In this dynasty, it was normal for women to ride horses or drive cars on the streets, and no one would feel that it was a violation of the rules. Besides, whether it is Gu Jiayi or Ye Er, they are only the daughters of businessmen, so there are fewer constraints.
In the end, Mother Lin couldn't resist her and agreed.
"Miss, this is Li Dafu, the nephew and grandson of the old lady's mother's distant family, in addition to managing the affairs of the stable, he will also take care of some affairs in the outer house." Mother Lin pulled the coachman and introduced.
In fact, looking at the appearance of Li Dafu and Lin's mother lifting the bar just now, Gu Jiayi guessed that his identity may not only be a small coachman, but also have some status in the mansion with the old lady in the background.
Gu Jiayi nodded politely and smiled.
"Miss used to live in the old house, and the little one has only seen once, but now it's been a few years, and I didn't think that Miss has been so smart."
"Brother Li has won the prize."
Mother Lin told her that her young lady lived in the old mansion when she was a child, with the old lady who had passed away, and the servants who served in the old mansion were basically sent back to the countryside because of their age, which means that no one in the new house they returned to remember or know the appearance of the young lady, and even the old lady and the old man did not remember Ye'er's appearance.
However, Ye Er is no longer alive, and only the master and the two young masters know about it in the mansion. At the beginning, Mrs. Ji went to the old house to pick up Ye'er and go back to Jiangcheng to watch the lantern festival, because there were too many people, the mother and daughter accidentally separated. Later, the people sent by Master Ji to find Ye'er fished out Ye'er's body from the moat, thinking that Ye'er also fell into the water because of a misstep.
Gu Jiayi glanced at the long queue of carriages, and couldn't help frowning and stopped the car.
"Yo, it's a royal carriage." Li Dafu stood in the carriage and looked at the end of the long dragon and said with interest.
"What are you yelling about!" Mother Lin scolded angrily in a low voice, it is really fatal to dare to ask about royal affairs.
Li Dafu pursed his lips and sat down dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?" Mo lifted the curtain and asked coldly.
"Second young master, there seems to be some dispute ahead, and someone is blocking the way."
Mo Da strode out, bypassed the crowd, jumped on the roof with his right foot, walked on the bricks and tiles, and soon disappeared.
Mother Lin went inside to accompany Mrs. Ji.
"Take a detour!" Mo didn't know when he came back, snatched the reins from Gu Jiayi's hand, and drove the carriage to a sharp turn.
"You kid," Mrs. Ji lifted the curtain and said angrily to Mo, "can't you learn from your sister's stability?" I'm so impatient to even catch a car. ā
Mo's face froze, but he didn't say anything.
Gu Jiayi looked at Mo with a smile, went back to the car, and talked to Mrs. Ji.
The carriage drove all the way out of the inner city to the outskirts.
The road had been quiet, and suddenly, a shout cut through the silence.
"Ji Xuanmo!" The voice was crisp, but I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.
The carriage immediately stopped. Mother Lin helped Mrs. Ji out, and Gu Jiayi followed out.
"Jiugong ......" Mrs. Ji was a little frightened when she saw the person standing outside the carriage, but when she saw this person's gesture to stop, she swallowed back halfway through the words.
"Ji Xuanmo, why didn't you kneel when you saw this son?" The person who came had a very delicate face, and although she was dressed in men's clothes, it was not difficult to see that she was dressed as a woman. Just looking at the material of her clothes, they can only be worn by high-class people. So who are these nine girls?
"Huh? Mrs. Ji, who is this girl next to you? Wearing a veil, you must look ugly! ā
Her tone and look made no secret of her contempt, and although she was disdainful, Gu Jiayi still caught a trace of jealousy in it.
Haha, that's fun!
"Mother, what should I call this one? Is it a friend of the second brother? Second brother, why don't you introduce me to me? ā
The girl's face was slightly stunned, "Why didn't I know you had a sister?" ā
Mrs. Ji was already uncomfortable in her heart, "This is indeed a little girl." ā
The girl touched her head and walked over to Gu Jiayi. She turned her face slightly, the strand of hair on her left ear obscuring the scar looming over her ear.
She lifted her hair and showed the ugly scar, "Did you say you were ugly or I was ugly?" ā
Gu Jiayi took a closer look and sighed, "Oops, this scar can't get better, right?" What a pathetic! ā
"What did you say? Besides, believe it or not... Son make people cut out your tongue! Ugly! ā
Gu Jiayi looked at the girl's arrogant appearance, and then looked at Mrs. Ji's worried eyes, I think this girl is not small, right?
"Okay, I'm ugly, right?" It's not that she's afraid of her, but she doesn't want to cause trouble for Mrs. Ji.
Mo stepped forward and arched his hand, and said coldly: "Please move the Ninth Prince, we are going to go." ā
The girl stared at a pair of big eyes and crossed her hands on her hips, "I won't let it!" ā
"Then let's take another detour." Mo said good-naturedly, Gu Jiayi looked at him with a look of swallowing his anger, and he was amused and puzzled in his heart.
"You!" The girl jumped to her feet in anger, but there were people around her, she seemed to be worried about something, but she didn't dare to have a seizure, so she had to watch Mrs. Ji and them leave.
"Ye'er, don't care what she says, you're not ugly, how can your mother's daughter be ugly?" Mrs. Ji said nervously and worriedly, she grabbed her hand tightly, for fear that she would be unhappy because of the words of the ninth prince.
"I'm fine. But who is that Ninth Prince? ā
Mo walked in and answered lightly: "She is actually the sister of the Ninth Princess, King Rong. His Majesty gave Jiangcheng as the fief of King Rong half a month ago, and today King Rong arrived in Jiangcheng, just because King Rong's carriage appeared, and the officials did not receive notice in advance, so they panicked for a while, so they blocked the road and all the carriages were rerouted. ā
"I see. Presumably, the ninth princess also accompanied King Rong to take office, right? ā
Ink nodded.
