Chapter 10 I'm going to the border
Early in the morning, the backyard of the Pingjing Mansion, Kexin Pavilion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering the summer, just a few days of effort, the weather in Pingjing City is the same as in previous years, and it is hot again, and the young ladies who were still wearing silk a few days ago have changed into silk gauze thin clothes in the past few days, and all kinds of fans that were originally held in their hands, and the ornamental value is greater than the practicality, and they have also come to a big reversal -- the practicality overpowers the ornamental nature.
And the rich and noble family has already opened a storehouse, and they are taking a large ice kettle, and they are the conductors in charge of cutting the ice, and they are busy to create a cool environment for the masters.
If you want to find an hour in the day when you can sit in the house without ice, I'm afraid it's only in the early morning when it's cool.
However, summer also has the benefits of summer, flowers are in full bloom, birds and butterflies are flying, green bamboos, roses are red, and a yard of flowers and grasses are in full bloom, which looks really extraordinary.
The mothers and maids up and down the house like to do most of the day's work here, so that at least they can sweat less, right?
In the courtyard of Kexin Pavilion, people come and go, each performing their duties, everyone is smiling, and it is obvious that they are in a good mood.
But just when there was such a harmonious atmosphere, an exclamation came from the main room, "What?!" Immediately, many people looked sideways, and they all stopped and looked at the place where the sound came from.
However, this exclamation had to be like this, and after waiting for a while, there was no other reaction, and I saw the curtain of the main house flashing, Qingluo came out, smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's Jinzhu who has a bad eye, what should you do, don't stand still." ”
In a word, the curious people in the yard were dismissed.
Qingluo, who had finished his errand, did not enter the house, walked a few steps forward, sat crookedly under the eaves of the beauty, and half-lay down to look at the roses under the porch.
In Lan Jiayin's bedroom, now apart from herself, there are only the three big girls Jinzhu Jinwen and Jinluo.
"Miss, what you just said wasn't a joke, was it?" Jinzhu was the first to ask questions.
Her bright face was full of disbelief, and after asking, she felt that something was wrong, so she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, and trotted to the door to check.
As early as when she shouted that voice, Jinluo went out to make Qingluo, asked her to go out to comfort the disturbed subordinates, and watched people at the door by the way, and did not let people into the house for the time being.
Therefore, when Jinzhu went out, she only saw the little girl who kept vigil last night, still sleeping sweetly in the hall, she turned around and entered the house, closed the door easily, and hurriedly ran back, and continued to ask: "My young lady, my good master, you actually want to secretly follow the prince to the border pass, why don't you go together?" ”
"Why don't you want to think about it, our four masters and servants are all women, how dangerous it is to walk outside?!"
"The main thing, you're trying to sneak away!" Jinzhu felt that these words came out of his mouth, they were extremely thrilling, why was he so bold that Miss himself dared to put it into action?
The poor girl was so frightened that she couldn't help but gasp, "If Madam and Master find out, then they can't beat all three of us to death in public?!" ”
She was alone, and she told all the inner words of Jinluo and Jinwen, these two were looking at their masters, and then at Jinzhu, and their eyes were nervously rolling on their master and servant.
Lan Jiayin had just gotten up, and she was still wearing a moon-white muslin cloth on her body, and her eyes were crooked when she heard the words, she had been thinking about these things for many days, and she had thought about almost every step she took two or three times to confirm that there would be no big danger, so she dared to take real action.
So Lan Jiayin was still very sure of convincing the three people in front of her, but when she saw her waving her hand, she said to the three henchmen, "The three of you only need one person to go with me, and I will definitely bring Xiyue and Xiwen with me at that time, as for the man......"
She glanced out of the window with extremely smart eyes, and said with a chuckle, "I will let Mu Jiu and Mu Jiu accompany me, the two of them are already skilled, and they are familiar with the way, you Miss and I are not powerless, plus Xiyue and Xiwen, the two people trained by Chongbei Houfu, there should be no big problem." ”
The corners of Jinluo's lips squirmed, and he finally had the courage to remind his young lady, "But aren't Xiyue and Xiwen still learning the rules from Da Liu's mother?" ”
"How are you going to take them away?"
"It's right for these two girls to learn the rules, but as long as I go out, it is reasonable to ask the two of them to accompany me, even if Da Liu's mother is strict, she will let them go." Lan Jiayin's speed of speech was not slow, and he had obviously thought of this step a long time ago.
Xiyue and Xiwen, the two maids, are only eleven years old this year, and they are orphan girls bought at the age of four or five in Chongbei Houfu.
No, it's been more than half a year since I came, and I've been taken by Da Liu's mother all day long, it's not that the two children are stupid and can't learn the rules, but Mrs. Lan pities the two of them for being young orphans, since they were bought into the Hou Mansion, they have worked hard to practice martial arts, and they have never slackened, it's really strange and pitiful, so let them loose for a few days first, and it doesn't hurt to go to her daughter's side when they are one year older.
However, if Lan Jiayin goes out, Da Liu's mother will let Xiyue and the two go with her, which can be regarded as allowing the master and servant to get acquainted with each other, there have been two or three precedents earlier, and if you do it again, it is estimated that nothing will go wrong.
Jinzhu saw that she really thought of everything, and knew that this person was determined to go to her aunt, her eyes swept to both sides, and she quickly said first, "Then let the maid go with you." ”
She thought that she grew up with Miss, and Miss of the Three Big Girls also valued her the most, and this candidate could be said to be her.
Unexpectedly, Lan Jiayin shook his head, "You can't go this time, I will disguise myself as a woman and ride a horse all the way to follow the army, you are not good at riding, or obediently at home, help me appease my good grandmother." ”
Jinluo's original active mind, hearing the words is a cool, instinctively looked at Jinwen, this was born in Chongbei Houfu, can ride horses, and can heal injuries, must be the best candidate for this trip.
She guessed right, Lan Jiayin is indeed a Jinwen, although she made up her mind to go to the border pass this time, she is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion, the destination of this trip is set by her in Gutian City, here to Xuhu Pass is only two days away, it is very convenient to see Mu Lingxuan.
And Lan Jiayin still has a careful thought, isn't she planning to live with Mu Lingxuan in Gutian City in the future?
There is a general's mansion in Gutian City, but where Mu Yishan has lived, she feels uncomfortable in her heart, and she doesn't want to live at all.
So I thought, it's better to take advantage of this great opportunity to take a turn in Gutian City, if there is a suitable yard, buy the whole yard, if there is really no suitable one, find a place to buy it yourself, and ask someone to build a new yard to come out.
Lan Jiayin has already calculated very clearly, Mu Lingxuan's time to guard the border pass is ten years at most, and at least five or six years, this is the rule of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, the purpose is to train the future Hou Mansion master, so that he can not only fight well, but also bear hardships and stand hard work.
For a place to live for so long, Lan Jiayin doesn't want to treat it casually.
It's just that everything now is still her own thoughts, and she talked to her three henchmen early this morning, so that they could help prepare their bags, and by the way, they could help her delay the time when she was arrested.
Xiyue and Xiwen are Lan Jiayin's people, so they will naturally obey their masters, and next, they are Mu Qi and Mu Jiu, these two Mu Lingxuan have already given it to her, so Lan Jiayin decided not to tell them the plan first, just say hello when they leave, and let them follow.
By the time the truth is revealed, they must have been far away from Pingjing, think about it, she, the future prince of Xuanping Marquis Mansion, is going to go on a long trip, can these two people not follow all the way to protect?
In addition, there is also Yu Cheng, this kid also has to bring it, this kid is used to running outside, and he has his own set of things to deal with people, and he can also help run errands along the way, which can be regarded as the role of temporary steward.
silently counted with her fingers in her heart, there are seven people in total, not much, but definitely not less, among them, there are only four who know martial arts, she herself is not a waste, and her combat effectiveness is not weak, which is good.
The three of Jinzhu were nervous in their hearts, but they were still loyal to Lan Jiayin, and their hearts were tormented like that, and still no one did anything to betray their master.
Just one person is happy, the three of them are worried, and it is time for the army to start marching, last year Mu Lingxuan went to the border, and everyone saw Lan Jiayin's uncomfortable energy, so when the army started this year, Liang Wenyu took the initiative to take his daughter-in-law to see him off.
Lan Jiayin already had her own thoughts in her heart, smiled at Mu Lingxuan, waved her hand frequently with a silk handkerchief, looking at the mood was very good, Mu Lingxuan was extremely reluctant, but seeing that her little girl was full of energy, she was still very relieved.
This one also kowtowed three times to her mother-in-law, solemnly entrusted her little daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law, and repeatedly instructed, "The cool summer is coming, your old man must take Yinyin to the villa to escape the summer, and it is good to relax and relieve boredom." ”
Liang Wenyu saw that her son was all for Lan Jiayin's sake, and she was a little jealous in her heart, but seeing her son happy, she smiled more than before, and she didn't know how much, and her sourness quickly passed.
Liang Wenyu took her son's hand and said, "Son, you just have to rest assured, there is a mother for everything in the family, and I will take care of it, you don't have to worry, but you two are out of the house, and you must be careful about your own safety." ”
"Don't forget, Qinqing and I are waiting at home for your father and son to come back."
Liang Wenyu and Lan Jiayin, the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were the latest among all the family members who saw them off, and the two of them did not see the shadow of the army until they could not see the shadow of the army, so they boarded the carriage hand in hand and returned home.
On the carriage, Liang Wenyu was afraid that Lan Jiayin would feel uncomfortable, and deliberately joked and asked Xiyue about the origin of the two, hoping to distract Lan Jiayin more.
Until Lan Jiayin returned to the mansion, she felt that this child had performed very well this year, compared to last year, it was simply a earth-shaking change, and she felt very relieved.
Who would have thought that early in the morning of the fifth day after the departure of the army, Mrs. Lan personally visited the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
The look on this face was very bad, Liang Wenyu could see at a glance that something must have happened, the Lan Mu family was already in-laws, and they were definitely their own people, she didn't shy away from it, so she immediately sent her subordinates out, and pulled Mrs. Lan and asked, "Sister, is there something wrong at home?" ”
"It's okay, just tell your sister, and your sister will definitely call the shots for you."
She thought that there was something wrong with Mrs. Lan and her husband, and Mrs. Lan's family was not here, and she should be the elder sister to help her sister come out.
Mrs. Lan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and tears immediately came down, "Sister, this child is gone, and she said that she went to chase Ah Xuan, but she only brought six people with her, how can this be enough?" ”
"If something happens to this stupid kid on the road, how will I live?"
Liang Wenyu was dumbfounded, and the first thought in his heart was, "No wonder this kid is in such a good mood, the emotional family has already made up their minds to follow Xuan'er!" ”
If you want to go from Pingjing to the border, you have to walk for many days, and a girl's family doesn't even bring a guard, where is the safety guaranteed?
This is her daughter-in-law, her son's heart is sharp, if something really happens, it will collapse that day, as soon as Liang Wenyu thought of this, he immediately became anxious, and he stood up and called someone to find it.
But she was grabbed by Mrs. Lan, "Sister, my lord said, even if we are looking for someone, we have to look for it secretly, and the less people know about Qinqing's private trip out of the city, the better." ”
"Oh, oh!" Liang Wenyu was also confused, rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, yes, you can't let others know the whereabouts of the child." ”
"The people in the province secretly have moths!"
There was no clue in her heart, and suddenly, a thought popped up in her heart, "If I followed Hou Ye to the border gate with such a careless attitude back then, instead of honestly abiding by the rules of the Mu family and staying in Pingjing as a housekeeper, wouldn't that be the case, and then there would be no Bai family, what happened to the Gu family?" ”
Thinking about it like this, Liang Wenyu suddenly felt that her future daughter-in-law was much more promising and courageous than her, and she was still blaming this child for being reckless and irresponsible, but she understood a little in her heart, and faintly envied her.
Seeing that she was stunned, Mrs. Lan thought that she was stupid with fear, and she was ashamed and ashamed in her heart, and choked up: "This child is the most obedient, why did he do such a thing this time, it is all my dereliction of duty as a mother......"
