Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Inn
The carriage that Chen Xinrou and Chen Ke rode followed behind Liu Yuxuan and the others, and He Yong and Cao Mao rode behind the palace.
Six horses and a cart left the bamboo forest, turned out of the mountain road, and passed several miles of mountain roads, and finally came to the flat avenue.
The group walked fifty or sixty miles non-stop, and then gradually slowed down.
He Yong rode out on horseback and looked around, only to see that this was a three-way intersection, and there was a big road in the east and west and to the north.
He Yong watched it for a long time, and vaguely remembered that this east road was the only way to pick up Chen Xinrou's mother and daughter to Beijing before, so he turned around and came back to lead the way for everyone.
Liu Yuxuan looked at the road in front of him, and in his mind, he unconsciously remembered that he passed by here on the way home that day, but he accidentally bumped into the girl, but more than half a year ago, this road is still the same, but it is no longer the innocent young man who is like an arrow and looks forward to a family reunion.
Chen Xinrou lay down for a long time, and already felt that her body had some strength, so she sat up, leaned on the soft cushion, stretched out her hand to open the soft curtain, and looked out.
She saw that the road on both sides of the car was vaguely recognized, and after thinking about it carefully, her heart immediately jumped, and she hurriedly raised her eyes to see the lonely figure in front of her, only to feel that he had become thinner and thinner in the past few days, and her heart was miserable, and she secretly thought: "Half a year ago, I entered the palace with my mother through this road, but half a year later, I went through this road to find my mother who left the palace." Half a year ago, he and I met here, and our love was deep. But half a year later, I had the opportunity to see him again, but he had long forgotten about me. It's really a creation to make people, not to make people go to their hearts! ”
When Chen Xinrou thought of this, her heart was desolate, and she raised her eyes to look at Liu Yuxuanying's upright posture, and her heart began to be in a trance unconsciously.
Chen Ke sat opposite her, then moved over, looked outside, and saw a girl next to Liu Yuxuan, less than three steps away from him, constantly raising her eyes to stare at his back, a sour feeling rose inexplicably in her heart, and her face was a little ugly, and she muttered in a low voice: "Who is the woman next to Liu Gongzi?" Why is there always a woman who hooks up with him? ”
Chen Xinrou heard her say this, so she was curious to look carefully, and sure enough, she saw the beautiful girl following Liu Yuxuan, and saw that she kept raising her eyes to look at Liu Yuxuan, and her eyes did not hide her girlish thoughts.
Chen Xinrou smiled bitterly and retracted her gaze, and saw that Chen Ke beside her kept looking out, and whispered comfortingly: "Sister Ke, Liu Gongzi is just when he was young, and he is so graceful, but everyone who loves beauty will pay attention to him." This girl, who was able to risk her life to rescue him that day, must have had affection for him in her heart.
You don't have to be angry, I'll find an opportunity to tell him that I'm just a clean brother and sister with you. As long as you are dedicated to him, you are not afraid that he will not be affectionate to you. You don't have to worry about that anymore! ”
Chen Ke's face immediately showed joy, he reached out to take Chen Xinrou's hand, and said in a low voice: "However, after Liu Gongzi found out, didn't he blame us for deceiving him?" What's more, in this world, where is the truth that two brothers and sisters sleep in the same bed? Even if we say it again, I'm afraid he just thinks that our brother and sister relationship is inappropriate. Sister, there's really no way to say this clearly! It's better for us to simply inform Liu Gongzi's sister of her daughter's identity, so that I can make it clear to Liu Gongzi! ”
Chen Xinrou was stunned for a moment, her heart beat slightly, and she felt that Liu Yuxuan had long forgotten who she was, and if her daughter's identity was revealed, it would not affect the safety of the saint, so she was a little moved.
Chen Ke saw that she was silent, knowing that she had already acquiesced to her idea, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly approached, and the two discussed in a low voice how to make this matter clear to Liu Yuxuan.
At this moment, Liu Yuxuan inadvertently glanced back, and happened to see that the soft curtain on the car behind him had been lifted at some point, and suddenly revealed two people who were leaning on each other.
Xiao Yu was staring at his back in a daze, and suddenly saw him turn around, for fear that he would see his expression at this time, exposing his daughter's thoughts, and then he was disappointed to find that Liu Yuxuan didn't look at himself at all, but quickly stared at the carriage following behind him, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he turned back and didn't look at it again.
She instinctively followed Liu Yuxuan's line of sight to look back, and then saw Cheng Rou and Chen Ke in the car, their heads were very close to each other, and their bodies were already attached to one place, it seemed that these two brothers and sisters had a very strange and ambiguous relationship, and they didn't realize that the strong love between the two of them had been revealed.
Her heart moved, she looked back thoughtfully, and then looked at Liu Yuxuan, who was tense and straight, and seemed to understand a little in her heart, but her face sank.
Chen Yu rode with Liu Yuxuan side by side, as long as he turned his head slightly, he could see his delicate side face, which was really pleasing to the eye and very comfortable in his heart.
At this time, it was close to evening, he straightened up slightly, looked into the distance, but only felt that the road stretched all the way, and as far as the naked eye could see, there was an empty field.
He was used to being arrogant and comfortable on weekdays, but during this time, he slept in the open and felt very hard, but at this time, he felt a little thirsty, so he softly called He Yong over.
"Brother He, how far do we have to go before we have to rest?"
He Yong hurriedly replied: "The eldest prince can endure for a while, and there is a small village and a small inn not far in front of him. When we get there, we can spend the night and rest for a while. ”
Chen Yu immediately looked at Liu Yuxuan, and said with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, walk up for a while, and we can pause and rest." ”
He Yong just spoke, and Liu Yuxuan naturally heard it clearly, and at this time, Chen Yu wanted to say it to him deliberately, as if he cared about himself very much.
Liu Yuxuan's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Yu beside him, seeing that he was always staring at himself with his eyes, his heart immediately cleared, and he secretly snorted coldly: "It turns out that you are just a person who is greedy for beauty." It's just that I'm a man, not a daughter, and you are so blatantly looking at me, it can be seen that you are just a ** person. I went to the cottage to change you back that day, what a big move. ”
Liu Yuxuan thought so, but his face showed more and more charming smiles, only to see Chen Yu's heart shake, forgetting that he was sitting on the horse, and almost fell off the horse.
Half an hour later, everyone saw a village in the distance. There are more than a dozen large tiled houses near the roadside, and there is a two-story small building in the back.
At this time, puffs of cooking smoke were rising from the chimney in the corner of the Nawa house, and a small black flag outside the house had four large characters written on it: "Xiaoyao Inn".
He Yong turned around happily and said to everyone, "We can have a good night's rest here!" ”
Immediately, the people were in good spirits, quickened their horses, and went straight to the inn.
The second child in the store came out when he heard the voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to eat and sharpen, or do you want to stay overnight?" ”
He Yong raised his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we have to eat and stay for one night." You just have to tell the back kitchen to clean up the best dishes here, and then clean up the four clean bedrooms for us. ”
Xiao Er shook his head in embarrassment and said, "The meal will be cleaned up for the guest officers in a while, but there are only three rooms in this guest room!" ”
When He Yong heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and glared angrily: "Don't you have more than a dozen rooms here?" But why do you say that there is no more? ”
Xiao Er turned sideways to let everyone in, and said to He Yong with a pout: "This guest officer, there are really a lot of guests staying in the small shop today, but I didn't lie to you half a sentence, don't believe it, you go and see it yourself!" ”
He Yong stepped into the store one step ahead of everyone, only to find that there were already seventy or eighty percent of the guests inside, and he felt a little remorseful in his heart, so he had to escort Chen Yulai to a table in the corner of the wall and sit down.
The carriage came to the front of the inn at this time, and another junior in the store hurriedly came to lead the horse.
Chen Ke lifted the soft curtain, jumped out of the car, and turned around to help Chen Xinrou.
Chen Xinrou was seriously ill and still a little weak, although she was supported by Chen Ke from the outside, she still felt weak in her legs, so she had to sit at the door of the car before she was ready to come down.
Chen Ke saw that she was really weak, and hurriedly turned around and called someone to come over to help support her, and when she turned around, Cao Mao had already come to the front, and at the door of the inn not far behind him, Liu Yuxuan was looking at him coldly with his hands behind his back, but he didn't want to come over to help at all.
Xiaoyu and Xiaobao were standing beside him, one bowing his head silently, the other looking around, but he didn't mean to come over to help.
"How? All three of them are simply hard-hearted. I clearly saw that my sister needed support to get over, but I looked at the scenery and looked at the scenery, thought about my heart, and was in a daze, but I deserved to be the three masters and servants! ”
Chen Ke was very unhappy in his heart, but he had to carefully help Chen Xinrou down with Cao Mao, and the three of them slowly came to the door of the inn.
Chen Xinrou raised her eyes and saw that Liu Yuxuan was in front of her, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Liu......"
Liu Yuxuan suddenly turned around when he heard the sound and walked in quickly.
Xiaoyu and Xiaobao immediately followed each other and followed into the inn.
Chen Xinrou was stunned in place, knowing that he must not have forgiven himself for the slap hatred, and there was a faint pain in her heart, so she had to bite her lower lip and desperately hold back the tears that wanted to well.
Seeing this, Chen Ke was unhappy, so he pursed his lips and muttered unhappily: "Is it possible that this Liu Gongzi is still blaming us for causing him to leave the bamboo forest?" I obviously saw us get out of the carriage, but I didn't come to help my sister, how could the original thoughtfulness and gentleness be scared away by those gangsters and become so indifferent and ruthless? ”
