Chapter 947: Something Doesn't Seem Quite Right
Tang Lin is here to send a newcomer to Bai Ko, so the palace chief Ji can't keep people in the palace to eat, and he only entered the city today, the journey is tiring, this trip is half a year long, starting in the summer and returning in the winter, Tang Lin also wants to go home early to meet his family and rest for a few days, so in order to start and finish well, the palace chief Ji and Gu Yun did not express any gratitude, and Bai Ko came to thank her eldest uncle.
Bai Ko sent his eldest uncle out, and the two made an appointment to go to his house for dinner in a few days, and saw the eldest uncle get in the car and go away, turned around and found the housekeeper to inquire about the Song family, and learned that they were being served by someone to bathe and freshen up, and then they had to be treated by the house doctor, Bai Ko thought about it and didn't bother them.
escaped from the fire and rushed all the way to the capital, although the eldest uncle didn't say much, but they could guess that before leaving the boundary of Xingning Mansion, their itinerary could not let anyone know, whether it was an accidental fire or arson, the local forces must know it, if they think that this is a lawsuit from Beijing, how can the eldest uncle and his party come back alive.
Thinking like this, Bai Ko walked to his small courtyard and let the Song family rest first.
On the way back to the back house, Bai Ko accidentally ran into Gu Yun who was walking out.
"Huh? Are you heading home? Don't stay and eat with the prince? ”
"Well, go home and read a book, time is tight now, and I can't waste it." Gu Yun said very strictly.
"Oh, yes, next February will be the tribute test, and only those who are on the list can take the palace test. But when you get out of the flower hall and go outside the gate, you don't have to take this road, do you? ”
"I'm just strolling, walking, relaxing."
"Walking? Trip? Didn't you just say that you are short of time to go home and read a book, and you can't waste it? ”
"I call it a combination of work and rest."
"Oh, that makes sense, you work your legs slowly, I'll have to go back and rest."
Just as the two of them were staggering, Bai Ko stopped again, and her right hand was tightly grasped by Gu Yun.
"This person comes and goes in the front yard of the palace, are you taking advantage of me again?"
"People come and go? Why didn't I see anyone else but you? Gu Yun didn't let go, he clenched it tighter, and proudly motioned Bai Ko to look at the surrounding environment, no one else was walking around here at this moment.
"You pay too much attention to your privacy, the courtyard where you live is far away from the upper room, you like to walk this quiet path, now tell me that people come and go?" Gu Yun's eyebrows fluttered proudly.
"Hey, hey, I'm so proud."
Gu Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the invisible tail behind him was swinging happily from side to side.
Bai Ko paid close attention to the surrounding environment, and indeed there were no outsiders moving, she turned sideways slightly, raised her left hand and gently stroked Gu Yun's chin.
Gu Yun became nervous in an instant, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his eyes looked at Bai Ko without blinking.
Bai Ko was like touching a pet dog, his fingers touched the curve of Gu Yun's chin back and forth a few times, and then slid back and forth on his lower lip, Gu Yun only felt that his mouth was very itchy, and he wanted to bite Bai Ko's naughty fingers, because he was distracted, he unconsciously let go of the hand holding Bai Ko.
As soon as his right hand returned to freedom, Bai Qiao quietly changed his posture, facing Gu Yunmian, and his right hand slid down his abdomen to his left waist.
Gu Yun held his breath all of a sudden, and his hands hung stupidly at his sides.
Bai Ko didn't intend to let him go like this, her right hand touched Gu Yun's waist and touched his shoulder, and her left hand also slid down, her hands wrapped around the back of Gu Yun's neck, her fingers inserted into the roots of his hair, and massaged his scalp with moderate force.
Gu Yun couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a comfortable moan, and then he heard Bai Ko's mischievous laughter, but just as he was about to open his eyes, a more comfortable feeling came from his scalp, and he closed his eyes tightly again.
The cold wind of early winter affected Gu Yun's true feelings, and when he finally opened his eyes, Bai Qiao was gone, and he was the only one standing alone in the quiet path, and there was no one passing by.
Gu Yun rubbed his equally cold face with his cold hands, a little in a trance.
Did he stop Bai Ko from talking to her before???
This cunning girl!!
Cunning! Cunning! Dead cunning girl!
Hum!!!
Gu Yun went home to read with a stomach full of depression and indescribable indignation.
Bai Ko was already comfortably in her room at this time, resting well, and going to get her carriage tomorrow, and in a month's time, it was finally done.
On Ning Peilan's side, the family member she had sent to deliver the letter to Shi Tianqi came back to restore her life, and the letter had been handed over to the other party in person, and she also said that the letter was privately opened, Shi Tianqi did not react at the time, but he did not reply on the spot.
After rewarding, Ning Peilan discussed it with the palace chief, and felt that no matter whether Shi Tianqi would use the topic to play or not, it was her housework, and they were just business partners here, so they couldn't manage so much.
The next morning, Bai Ko went to get the cart, and her new carriage became a real thing in the hands of the carpenters, exactly as she had envisioned.
Commoners have the standard of living materials of the common people, and the expensive wood is owned by the nobles, and the wealthy class of the commoners cannot cross this line no matter how rich they are, otherwise the government will definitely be able to investigate it.
Bai Ko has just regained her citizenship, and the days of freedom have just begun, of course, she will not die and step on the red line of the class, so the materials used for the overall carriage and interior decoration are the best materials that the common class can use, which is why the biggest reason why a new carriage can be made in a month, the masters do not have to spend a lot of time preparing those expensive and rare materials first.
The overall structure of the carriage has also changed, Bai Ko does not like to get off the front of the car, even if there is a stepping stool, she also feels that the posture of bending over to climb up and down is too ugly, her carriage has been changed to the right side of the door, the door comes with footsteps, the door and the opposite window are inlaid with glass and hanging curtains, there is a small rain eaves outside the window, there is a small window sill in the car, put a small portable lamp with a four-sided glass lampshade, the outside of the door is locked with a bolt, the door is locked with a chain, the window is up and down, the lower layer is fixed, the upper layer can be opened for ventilation, plus the relationship between the height of the whole vehicle, It also prevents people from outside from throwing things into the car
The four-wheeled vehicle, the frame itself is large, the interior of the carriage is very spacious, and the side door is opened, and the inside is arranged as a opposite seat, a row can sit three people, the cushion is taken away from the bottom is the sitting box, and the shelf inside the sitting box can be moved flexibly.
There is a small window with a trapdoor above the middle of the reverse seat, which can be opened to talk directly to the coachman, and there is a wide eaves above the driver's position, and a glass portable lamp is also hung below the eaves, although there are few opportunities to go out at night, but these two lamps can also be used as a decoration.
Bai Ko looked at the car in and out of the car, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more happy she was, she spent more than 100 taels of silver for this new carriage, which was more expensive than the money she paid for beating the second lady Gu, thinking that she had just received a month's salary from the big shopkeeper, and it cost more than 200 taels of silver in a blink of an eye, and the money was really unspent.
You have to work harder to make money.
The master carpenter brought in the first-class horses that had been booked early in the morning, and the same as the horses used by his own team in the workshop, and to pull the four-wheeled carriage, he had to rely on this muscular horse, and correspondingly, this kind of horse had a large amount of food, but the new carriage was built, so who cared how much the horses had to eat for a month.
The men worked together to put the horses on hand, in addition to the coachman who sent Bai Ko here, they also followed a coachman surnamed Cui, who was Ning Peilan's companion, and she assigned this old Cui to Bai Ko as a special coachman.
Bai Ko paid off the follow-up final payment, rewarded the driver who had worked hard to pick her up in the past month, Lao Cui bolted the car door, sat in the coachman's seat, and tried to drive the horse-drawn empty car, which stood taller than the people of the horse Lao Cui has not driven, but he has decades of experience in driving horse-drawn carriages in caravans, and has walked all the terrain roads, Ning Peilan gave Lao Cui to Bai Ko to use it is precisely because he thought that Bai Ko has been planning to go to the farm, and it is definitely not possible to take a boat on this cold day, only by land, then Lao Cui is the most suitable driver in the house.
The carpenters opened the back door to let Lao Cui out, Bai Ko waited for Lao Cui at the front door to come around, and as soon as the unprecedented carriage came out of the back door, it was watched by the neighbors, and they followed the carriage together until they went around to the front door.
Bai Ko ignored their onlookers, opened the car door and sat in, then opened the small window of the activity, and told Lao Cui to go around the city, go to Xile Fang for a circle, and then go back to Tianshui Fang.
Lao Cui responded with a smile and began to swim in the city with Bai Ko.
The new carriage is comfortable, and there are no bumps on the stone road in the city, and there will be no more bumps in the back and buttocks.
The carriage was watched all the way, because of the shape of the frame and the horse pulling the cart, many people recognized that this must be the carriage of the Joy Square Factory, but they didn't know who was sitting on the car.
Bai Ko nestled by the window, she could see the street outside, but passers-by could not see her, and their discussion could come in word for word through the open ventilation window, Bai Ko listened and laughed, and had fun.
The carriage entered the joy of the place naturally caused a greater sensation, the janitor of the workshop saw that although the strange carriage looked like his own style, but the first reaction was to dutifully refuse to let go, until Bai Ko opened the door and showed his face, Lao Cui was able to drive into the factory compound, and when Bai Ko got off the car to do her business, the carriage was surrounded by three layers of workers inside and three layers outside, competing to visit.
Bai Ko stayed in the workshop for more than half an hour and then rode back to Tianshuifang, still being watched and discussed all the way.
When the carriage passed through the gate of the palace and went to the stable, the housekeeper sent someone to tell the princess immediately, and when Bai Ko finished talking to Lao Cui in the stable, and promised to pay for another monthly money and feed money from his own pocket every month to ask him to take good care of the horses, Ning Peilan also came to the stable in a soft sedan chair.
"Oh my God!" Ning Peilan got off the sedan chair and was surprised to see the new carriage, "I knew you said that the new carriage would be big, but I didn't expect it to be so big!" Is it comfortable? ”
"My lovely and charming Princess Cheng, would you like to enjoy your face and travel with me to the capital?" Bai Qiao suddenly pretended to hold Ning Peilan's right hand, smiled affectionately and in a low voice, and used a special vocal method to make his voice appear deep and low.
Ning Peilan couldn't help but blush, and the deer in her heart bumped around, nodding as if she was infected, "I do." ”
Bai Ke immediately stepped sideways with Ning Peilan, put her right hand on her left arm, and the two of them walked back to the upper room like this, and naturally discussed the time of the next trip to the capital together along the way.
When the palace chief returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, and the princess actually said to him why Bai Ko was not a man, and if it was a man, she would definitely elope with her.
Looking at his wife, who looked excited like a young girl, opened his mouth, and could only utter a meaningless syllable.
"Huh?!"
