"Anything else?" I wondered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The butler looked up at me and said, "The third lady went to the grange for the first time, so be careful in everything. I heard that there have been a lot of homeless people around Haining recently, and I will send a few more family members to follow the three ladies, hoping that the three ladies will have a smooth journey. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood, how could my mother-in-law let me out so easily and give me such an easy errand? This is clearly a dangerous chore. Fortunately, the housekeeper reminded me, otherwise if something happened, I would definitely not be prepared at all.

I smiled a little, said in a gentle voice, "Okay, got it, thank you butler for taking care of me." ”

"The third lady is polite, as a slave, I naturally have to think about everything for the sake of the master, I just did my duty." The housekeeper said, with a cold face.

It's just doing your part. He can't stop his mother-in-law, and he won't stop him, he just said what he knew and should say, and just did what he should do.

That's already good.

I pursed my lips and smiled, "Understood." ”

The butler saluted and withdrew.

It was noon, and it was only two or three hours before the afternoon. There wasn't much time, so as soon as the housekeeper left, I instructed Yueying to tell the mother-in-law who boiled the water to boil more hot water.

After the hot water was boiled, I sent Yueying down, and asked her to go back to her room to freshen up, and then come and eat with me when she was ready.

After I took a bath and washed my hair, the maids had already brought the food to the table, and Yueying had changed her clothes and was placing dishes and chopsticks at the table.

"Let's eat, let's eat!" I smiled as I pulled my hands apart as much as I could, relaxing my bones.

Yue Ying smiled at me with bent eyebrows, picked up the porcelain bowl to hold the porridge, and said, "It's hot in the city, and it should be cooler in the grange." In the past, when she was in Qiantang, Zhu Niang often went to the countryside grange to escape the summer. ”

I sat down on a stool and smiled, "Why don't we stay at the Grange for a few more days?" ”

She put the porridge in front of me and said softly: "But the housekeeper said that there have been homeless people around Haining recently, and I guess they came from the north." There is no one outside the city, and it is not safe to stay in the Grange for a long time. After a pause, he sighed again: "I don't know if the housekeepers are reliable?" ”

"It's just a trip out, how can you be so unlucky?" I comforted her, pointed to the food on the table, and said, "Let's eat enough before thinking about this." ”

Because I hadn't eaten for a few days, as soon as my lips touched the thick rice porridge, my appetite exploded all of a sudden, and I drank half a bowl in one go. Next, at the speed of the wind and clouds, he drank five bowls of porridge silently.

Moon Ying was stunned.

Just as I was about to drink the sixth bowl, she stopped: "Zhu Niang, eating too much at once is not good for your health, so it's better to rest first." ”

I had to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then I felt that my stomach was already bloated, but I don't know why, I still want to eat.

Yueying said again: "I'll go to the kitchen to pack some snacks later, and it doesn't matter if Zhu Niang eats them when she is on the way." ”

I nodded, and she stood up and said, "I'll go and bring hot water to wipe Zhu Niang's hands and face." ”

"You're not eating?" I asked.

"No," she said with a smile, "I'll call someone to clean up the table." ”

I went back to the inner room, checked the package that Yueying had packed, and went to the small study to find a book and stuff it in.

After cleaning our hands and faces, it was already noon, and we rested in the room for a quarter of an hour before going out.

Outside the gate, the butler had already prepared the carriage, and the five family members were already waiting at the door. The weather was very hot, and Yue Ying muttered that it was going to rain heavily.

Sure enough, after a while, the carriage ran for a while and the raindrops the size of beans crackled down, and the lid of the carriage clanged.

Sitting in the carriage, there was something to cover it, but a few of the family members walking under the carriage didn't bring anything, and they were afraid that they would be drenched if they couldn't hold up a cup of tea.

I lifted the curtain and was about to say hello, when the driver turned his head and said, "Young lady, this rain is falling fiercely, do you want to find a place to take shelter from the rain first, and wait for the rain to fall a little before leaving?" ”

His head and body were already drenched, and drops of water rolled down his sideburns.

I hurriedly said, "Then find a place to stop." ”

Yueying rolled the curtain with one hand and put a silk cloth on my forehead with the other to help me shield me from the rain that burst into the carriage.

"This is Zishi Road, Zhu Niang!" Yue Ying's voice was slightly raised, and she pointed to one place with a handkerchief, and said, "That's the Golden Sycamore Restaurant, and the diagonally opposite is Liang Gongzi's theater." ”

I looked in the direction of her finger and saw the words Jinwu Restaurant.

Another torrential rain fell down, and I couldn't dodge it, and my face immediately became wet, and there were a few more watermarks on my clothes.

"Hurry up and park the carriage next to the theater called 'Jade Tea Hall'!" Yueying helped me wipe the rain from my forehead while beckoning to the coachman.

"Good!" The coachman waved his whip and hurried the carriage to the side of the theater.

Several housekeepers and coachmen rushed to the eaves of the Jade Tea Hall to take shelter from the rain, wiping the rain from their faces with their sleeves and patting their clothes.

Yueying held a handkerchief on my head with one hand, blocked the top of her hair with the other, and ran with me to the theater.

The people in the theater did not seem to be affected by this sudden heavy rain, and their attention was still on the stage. People were sitting or standing, their eyes focused on the stage.

In the midst of the still crowd, Xi An carried a teapot in his hand and walked around it.

"It's raining." Yue Ying said on the side, "Fortunately, it will fall at this time, otherwise if you go out of the city, you won't be able to find a convenient place to shelter from the rain." ”

I turned around, looked at the misty rain outside, and said, "It's going to rain quickly, and I guess it's going to retreat quickly." ”

Yueying looked at me and asked hesitantly, "...... Is it right here? You don't have to go inside...... Finish? ”

"Well, the rain should stop soon." I pursed my lips.

I have to get to the Grange today, and I won't be here for long. In such a short time, it's better not to disturb people.

Yue Ying replied and didn't speak again.

I took out a silver ingot from my purse and handed it to Yueying, saying, "You give this silver to the coachman and ask him to buy some umbrellas and come back, so that he won't have a place to hide from the rain when it rains on the road again." ”

"Okay." Yueying took the silver and went to the eaves.

The rain is getting lighter, so it should stop soon. Just as he was thinking about it, a voice behind him said, "Lady? ”

I looked back and saw Xi An standing behind me.

He saluted and said with a smile: "Is it really a lady?" Does the lady remember? I'm Si'an. ”

"Yes." I replied with a smile.

"The lady is here to find my son-in-law, the son is upstairs in front, I'll take the lady over." He said as he reached out and made an inviting gesture.
