Chapter Twenty-Eight: Inconsistencies in Appearance
Liu Yufei saw that Xiahou Linlang had a place to go, so she frowned and looked at Lin Mei, she and Lin Mei had grown up together since childhood, how could they not know Lin Mei's thoughts? It's not for that Shu Wangjin, otherwise how could he chase him to the capital?
When Lin Mei saw Liu Yufei looking at her, she immediately said with a smile, "I'll go find my mother, Yufei, you don't have to worry about me sleeping on the streets." ”
Liu Yufei saw that the two of them were sure, so he called Luo'er to meet the people from Zhang's family, and after saying goodbye to Liu County, the three of them got into the carriage in the middle of the convoy, the decoration between them was more generous and dignified, the brocade tassels hanging at the four corners were small and delicate, and even the small pillows used for backrests were more comfortable than ordinary pillows.
As soon as she got in the car, Lin Mei was restless, looking east and west, and finally she was really tired before pulling Liu Yufei and whispering, "Yufei, why did you go to the capital today, so you can't catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." ”
"Uncle Zhang said that he met a group of robbers on the way, and the detour was delayed for a few days, and now the government should subdue the robbers, we can go straight to the capital on the shortest road, and we can arrive on the afternoon of the 14th." Liu Yufei took his handkerchief and wiped Lin Mei's mouth, and was a little worried for some reason, "It's you, Minoru's boldness, that dares to catch up with the capital alone." ”
Lin Mei wiped her mouth covered with cake crumbs, and saw that Liu Yufei guessed her purpose and didn't quibble, but she was afraid of Xiahou Linlang, so she lived in Liu Yufei's ear and whispered, "I had such a bad time in the first seventeen years, and the men I met were so obscene, and finally God took pity on me and sent me Shu Wangjin, how could I let others rob me of such a good opportunity to fly on the branches?" ”
Liu Yufei silently glanced at Xiahou Linlang, who was looking at the scenery outside the car window, and then looked at Lin Mei, and felt that she had such a good upbringing, such a beautiful appearance, such a full of talent, and such a ...... Still don't give an example, the gap is too big to bear to look at directly.
Thinking about it, Liu Yufei felt funny again, Lin Mei was really worried, didn't she find out that Shu Gongzi was the only one in his eyes? Otherwise, with Lin Mei's family background, I don't know how many daughters there are in the capital who dump her a few streets, but Shu Gongzi still has blue eyes for her, what is a mere Xiahou Linlang?
"Lin Mei, these things are for you." Liu Yufei took out a palm-sized box from the small cabinet beside him, full of the fragrance of sandalwood.
"What is this?" Lin Mei took the box and just wanted to open it for a few looks, but was gently patted by Liu Yufei, and said resolutely, "You will see it when you get to the capital." ”
Lin Mei had to put the box aside, feeling heavy inside, and she didn't know what it was.
It was only because Steward Zhang was afraid that Liu Yufei and others would not be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the house, so he hurriedly moved in the afternoon, and then entered the gate of Jinzhou City before the city gate was closed, planning to rest in the city for a night, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning.
If you have to pass through a barren mountain from Jinju City to the capital, you have to pass through a barren mountain, and you have heard that there are bandits in the Zhang family, so you can spare the road a few days late, as long as you cross the barren mountain, you can see the towering city wall of the capital after walking for more than a day.
Because he was afraid of an accident at night, he decided that Liu Yufei and Lin Mei would have a room, and Luo'er and Xiahou Linlang would have a room, Xiahou Linlang was afraid that his grandfather would prevent him from returning to the capital, so he didn't go back to Wutongyuan to visit Wu Lao when he arrived in Jinzhou, but he was very depressed in his heart, and he was obviously very sad.
After the four of them got up early in the morning of the second day and freshened up, Steward Zhang asked Liu Yufei to go outside to discuss with a solemn face, Lin Meidu had already eaten two or three big meat buns Liu Yufei came back, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Yufei, come and eat this meat bun, there are a lot of fillings!" Lin Mei stuffed a bun in her mouth, and waved her hands to beckon Liu Yufei to come over and eat.
Liu Yufei came back to his senses at this time, took a bun and nibbled on it, "Lin Mei, you ...... Why don't you go back to Linshan County with Miss Xiahou......"
"Why?" Lin Mei hurriedly swallowed the bun in her mouth and looked at Liu Yufei with wide eyes.
"Steward Zhang said that the bandits on the Great Wilderness Mountain have not been exterminated, and even the officials of Jinzhou City have nothing to do with them, I am afraid that they can only wait for the capital to send someone over, I ...... You have to get to Zhang's Mansion before the fifteenth, so you can only try your luck to break through, but you ...... I hope you're safe. Liu Yufei frowned, quite worried about this matter.
Lin Mei shook her head very firmly, "Such a dangerous thing, then I have to accompany you even more." She and Liu Yufei are both orphan girls, and they have a deep relationship since childhood, not to mention that Liu Yufei didn't know how many black pots she had helped her carry since she was a child, and no matter what she said this time, she couldn't let Liu Yufei take risks alone.
Just when the two of them were staring at each other and looking sad, Steward Zhang came to knock on the door again, but this time it was a look of joy, "Miss Biao, Miss Lin, there is a family downstairs who is also rushing to the capital, asking us if we want to go with them." ”
Liu Yufei and Lin Mei glanced at each other, and said in surprise, "Then let's hurry down." ”
Lin Mei took the cone hat placed aside and hurriedly put it on her head, she has always been pretty, so she doesn't want outsiders to see her disfigured appearance, she also wore a cone hat when she got into the car last night, so the people of the Zhang family have been speculating whether she is as beautiful as a salt or as beautiful as a fairy.
At this time, seven or eight carriages were parked at the door of the first floor of the inn, and there were more than twenty or thirty young men dressed as dart masters guarding there, and in the middle of the inn sat a young man in plain clothes who was silently drinking, with a gentle temperament, like a first-class warm jade, and a young man in Tsing Yi stood next to him, seventeen or eighteen years old, who was also speechless.
Lin Mei and Liu Yufei went downstairs and were about to salute the young man, but unexpectedly, the young man turned around suddenly and said with a light smile, "It turns out that the two young ladies are rushing to the capital......
"Yufei, why is he!" Lin Mei saw that the young man had a temperament as warm as jade, but she still took a few steps back, pulled the corner of Liu Yufei's clothes, and whispered in her ear.
Liu Yufei couldn't help but be stunned and frowned.
It turned out that it was the husband of the Wang family they saw that day, who used to be dressed in red and rode on a tall horse with a gentle face, but he sent Miss Wang home that night, and on the second day, he sent people around the street to ruin Miss Wang's reputation, which was really shameless.
"It's not the same as the outside, the human face is a beast!" Lin Mei continued to whisper in Liu Yufei's ear, she was very unaccustomed to Xiao Gongzi's sanctimonious beast.
"Two young ladies, Xiaosheng's surname is Xiao, and his name is Zihuan, please advise." Xiao Zihuan saw that the two of them had been muttering, so he took the lead in reporting to them.
Although Liu Yufei was afraid of Xiao Zihuan, he still leaned over and returned the salute dignifiedly, "It turned out to be Xiao Gongzi, the little woman's surname is Liu, and the one next to him is the little woman's friend, surnamed Lin." ”
"I heard that the two young ladies are also going to the capital, so it's better to rush with Xiaosheng, so that there will be a good care on the way." Xiao Zihuan didn't know what they thought, his face was gentle and elegant, but he really responded to that sentence, a humble gentleman is as gentle as jade
It's a pity that Lin Mei and Liu Yufei recognize him, so they only spit on him in their hearts, but if they rush with Xiao Zihuan's convoy, there will be many people, and those bandits may not dare to attack them.
