Chapter 342: The Origin of Family Learning
What made Situ Jiao think about it was the convoy that sent her relatives, if she guessed correctly, it should be Lin Qiaoqiao's convoy in Beijing.
Situ Jiao's guess was not wrong at all.
The team that gave off the wedding was really Lin Qiaoqiao's team.
And the news that Lin Qiaoqiao was robbed by mountain bandits on the way to Beijing arrived a day later than the news that the caravan was robbed.
The person who sent the news was the Lin family who escorted Lin Qiaoqiao into Beijing.
In fact, there are mountain bandits in the black wind, and almost all the people in Nanling know about it.
It's just that the mountain bandits on the Black Wind Mountain have never hurt people's lives under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
I don't know if this group of mountain bandits is particularly eye-catching or has that kind of collusion between officials and bandits, most of the robberies robbed by this group of mountain bandits are caravans with no background or bad reputation, as for the imperial merchants or something, they have never been passive, so the mountain bandits have been in Heifeng Mountain for many years, and the government has only turned a blind eye.
It's just that the convoy that wants to pass through the Black Wind Mountain, for the sake of safety, will always stay at the inn in front of the Black Wind for a while, and wait until a certain number of teams are focused or follow the imperial merchants before crossing the Black Wind Mountain.
Lin Qiaoqiao and her group were quite lucky, as soon as they arrived at the inn, they met a caravan that was also going to Kyoto through the Black Wind Mountain, and this caravan happened to be the imperial merchant.
The Lin family did not have a master to escort Lin Qiaoqiao into Beijing this time, only a steward of the outer courtyard.
The steward used some silver, asked for the imperial merchant's consent, and followed the imperial merchant's convoy across the Black Wind Mountain.
Although the number of people is less, firstly, the mountain bandits on Heifeng Mountain have never robbed the imperial merchants, and secondly, the people who came to the Lin family really couldn't wait.
Although it is only a concubine to enter the door, this auspicious time is still not mistaken.
The Lin family did not have a master to send Lin Qiaoqiao to Beijing, which was a bit surprising in Situ Jiao's opinion. But I can understand it.
After all, Lin Qiaoqiao entered Beijing to be a concubine, and she was also a concubine who specially gave birth to children, who would be willing to do such a faceless and unbeneficial?
Speaking of which, Lin Qiaoqiao is really a person whose heart is higher than heaven and whose life is thinner than paper.
Before that happened, she was also a person who could talk in front of Old Lady Lin, and sometimes she said things better than her father, Uncle Lin. It's also a little heavier.
But this one was made into a concubine. In the eyes of the Lin family, especially in the eyes of Old Lady Lin, it suddenly became grass, even worse than grass.
Lin Qiaoqiao herself is naturally reluctant to be a concubine, not to mention that she is still a businessman's concubine. Therefore, since knowing that the old lady had reached an agreement with Chen Da and implemented the identity of her concubine, it was naturally all kinds of tosses.
Since Lin Qiaoqiao used various means to resist in order to achieve the goal of not being a concubine for Chen Da. So how can the Lin family be relieved to let a few subordinates accompany them to Kyoto without anyone watching?
Very simple. Medication!
In this way, it seems that the Lin family's use of drugs for people can be regarded as a family history, which is profound!
Lin Qiaoqiao has made all kinds of resistances since she learned that the old lady had agreed to Chen Da and her going to the Chen family as a concubine. In the end, Mrs. Lin was annoyed by Lin Qiaoqiao, and gave Lin Qiaoqiao an order to pour the cartilage on the rivers and lakes.
That's right, it's a pour! Every day, two stout mothers-in-law pressed Lin Qiaoqiao to pour the medicine down.
Hey. This medicine works a lot!
That bowl of medicine was poured down, and Lin Qiaoqiao didn't say toss. It's just that I can't speak.
This medicine really works, and the effect of the medicine can be at least for a whole day.
So with a bowl of medicine every day, Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't be strong anymore, so she could only lie on the bed like a living dead and wait for "marriage".
Even so, outside the courtyard where Lin Qiaoqiao lived, Mrs. Lin still let people guard it tightly, and even Lin Qiaoqiao's mother, Mrs. Lin, could not see it.
Only then did Lin Qiaoqiao know that the old lady's love was only because she was "useful" to the family, and she, the granddaughter who was about to "marry" as a merchant concubine, only played a role in the little industry that could be brought to the Lin family in the future.
For the sake of the property that has not yet arrived, she Lin Qiaoqiao can't escape or die.
At this time, Lin Qiaoqiao finally understood what it meant to be "better to live than to die"!
From Kyoto back to Shunping County and then back to Kyoto, in the two months before and after, Lin Qiaoqiao went from resistance to numbness, and finally watched herself being put on a carriage and escorted into Kyoto by several subordinates like a cargo, ready to be given to the businessman named Chen Da.
Hearing such news from the mouths of the Lin family's subordinates who came to Beijing to report the news made Situ Jiao's teeth chill.
Thinking of what the old lady in the house had done before, it turned out that the Lin family not only had a deep relationship with medicine, but also had the same cold temperament.
"In this way, there is only one Lin Qiaoqiao missing from those people?" This is Situ Jiao's slightly immature voice.
Situ Jiao and the Han family were subordinates who saw the Lin family reporting through the screen.
When the Lin family's subordinates heard the sound coming from behind the screen, they couldn't help but raise their eyes and glance at the screen, and were so frightened by the cough of the Lin housekeeper standing behind him that they hurriedly lowered their eyes: "Yes." When the mountain bandits left, the goods of the caravan and the soft goods we carried with us were all looted, and only the eldest lady was missing from the count. Some people in the caravan said that the eldest lady was taken by the mountain bandit leader and disappeared into the mountains and forests early in the morning. ”
In this way, Lin Qiaoqiao was brought up the mountain by the leader of the mountain bandits, is she going to be the lady of the village?
This is not a good thing, with Lin Qiaoqiao's personality that must be repaid, it may become a scourge.
"But someone went back to Shunping County to report the news?" Han asked.
"Yes, Steward Wang took the others to live in Heifeng Town to find the eldest lady, let the servants come to Kyoto to report to the Chen family, and at the same time let the big dog go back to Shunping to report to the old lady.
The slave was not familiar with Kyoto, and he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and northwest of the city, and he couldn't find Uncle Chen's house, so he had to ask someone to lead the slave to the Anning Marquis Mansion for help. The servant of the Lin family, who reported the news, sneered.
This subordinate of the Lin family is indeed a fresh face, not to mention the Han family and Situ Jiao, even Steward Lin has never seen it, I think it is the first time to come to Kyoto, and if I can come to the Anning Hou Mansion, I must be a little clever, and at the same time, I should have been mentioned by the Wang steward.
Situ Kong's departure is imminent, these days the divine dragon sees the head and the tail, Situ Yang will not return to the house until the Yulin Guards do not rest on the day, and now the Anning Hou Mansion can only call the shots.
Han didn't even think to let the old lady know about this.
Han and Situ Jiao discussed quietly for a moment, and decided to send Hurricane to take the Lin family's subordinates to the Chen family.
"Mrs. Hui, when Uncle Chen heard the news, he called him regretful, and ordered someone to prepare to follow the Lin family's subordinates to Heifeng Town early tomorrow morning to help find Miss Cousin." When the wind came back from the Chen family, he immediately reported to the Han family about going to the Chen family. (To be continued.) )
