Chapter Twenty-Three: Country Roads

Because there was something important to do, none of the men sent it, and Shi Dong's old family member stood by the carriage with a horsewhip in his hand and waited.

I beckoned a woman and said, "Mother, two aunts, get in the car." ”

According to the order, the eldest lady went up first, and the other two ladies also sat in crying, and when it was Shi Dijia's turn, she stepped aside and said, "Fifth brother, please first." ”

I smiled and said, "Don't do this kind of hypocrisy at this time, you sit inside." ”

Shi Dijia got into the car at this time, and the green calyx didn't dare to get on first, so she had to sit down on the outermost side, and the old family closed the car door from the outside, and drove the big car on the road with a squeak.

Maybe it's to keep a low profile, maybe it's unintentional, in short, the car that Stilyan rented is broken and broken, the patent leather in the carriage is mottled, and the ground is dirty and messy, not to mention the three pampered ladies, even if the green calyx is only afraid, he has never sat in such a broken carriage, and the moment he left the Shi Mansion, the second lady thought that it would be inevitable that her life would be lost from now on, and she couldn't help crying. The third lady was too busy to take care of herself, and the eldest lady had to be relieved: "Ke Ying, there is no need to be like this, maybe we will leave now and come back in the evening." ”

The second lady sobbed and said, "The old lady should really let Dizhou go, he is only in his early 20s this year." ”

When the eldest lady heard that it was not a talk, she sighed faintly and said nothing. To say that the biggest price in this battle is indeed Shi Fei's family, the second wife's husband and two sons all stayed in Shi Mansion, if something happens, then her future life can be imagined.

The second lady cried for a while, saw that the eldest lady was full of embarrassment, wiped her tears and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be careful, I never mean to slander the old lady unfairly, Di Zai is the youngest, it stands to reason that he should avoid danger, not to mention that we are all a family, I am narrow-minded." If there is anything in the future, you have to count on your sister-in-law and Gorou to take care of it. ”

The eldest lady put her shoulder on her shoulder and said sadly: "Needless to say, I understand." She turned to me and said, "Di Zai, the three of us will be your own mother in the future, if you dare to snub the two aunts, I won't agree, do you hear clearly?" ”

This is the sister-in-law who is relieving the two concubines, so I had to say, "That's a must!" "This is good, others have crossed to pick up dragon eggs and pick up treasures, I am picking up mothers everywhere, and I picked up 5 mothers in just 500,000 words...... As soon as the second lady settled down, and the third lady didn't know why the sadness came from it, Shi Dijia kept comforting her, and the eldest lady looked impatient and said: "Chunrui, the third lady is small outside, you don't know, right?" ”

The third lady wiped her tears and said: "I know, who told me to not give birth to a boy for him, so I have been turning a blind eye, but how did I think that we can get to this point today - we are going to send people under the fence, if she is bullying, will I have a good relationship with Di Jia?" ”

The eldest lady said with a look in her eyes: "I think she dares?" ”

The second lady was a little sad, and at this moment she couldn't help but ignite the fire of gossip again, leaned over and asked, "Have you seen this cinnamon branch?" ”…… It turned out that Shi Dong had a small secret outside, which was not only open to the whole house, but everyone even knew each other's names.

The third lady said: "I haven't seen it, I think it's a woman of the right age, and her appearance must be no different." ”

The second lady said: "No matter how you say that she has no name and no points, she can't cover you, if she is deferential and obedient, she will dare to see how the second sister-in-law calls the shots for you!" ”

The eldest lady said with a smile: "The daughter of the Li Thorn family is so powerful, she was crying and crying just now, and she will be about to give others a lead." ”

This sentence amused the two concubines, I have seen these two aunts a few times before, and I know a little about their backgrounds, the father of the second lady Li Keying is Shi Cundao's old subordinate, and now he is the Honglie Empire's Xinzhou Thorn History, in charge of the soldiers and horses of a province, and the third lady Zhao Chunrui is the daughter of the Imperial History of the Supervision Yuan, as for my cheap old lady Guo Bihua is very obedient, she is the only daughter of Guo Qian, the former head of the household department, the Shi family is full of powerful people, and Shi Cundao's three daughters-in-law are also from famous families, In fact, the concept of being the right person for the sake of the old history is not so important, and most of the in-laws are close friends who know the roots, so there is an unwritten rule in the history house, that is, no one is allowed to take a concubine by a man in the Shi family, which is of course to give face to old friends, and also maintains the prosperity and stability of the Shi family from the side, of course, I think the main reason is because of Shi Cundao's dark psychology that he can't eat grapes and doesn't allow others to eat - the old man has not been a concubine in his life.

Among the three concubines, if you want to talk about your family background, the third lady Zhao Chunrui is relatively low, the imperial history of the Supervision Yuan is only from the fifth rank according to the rank, and the power is also limited, and the imperial history can only participate in the impeachment of problematic officials, so it is normal for the third lady to appear to be lacking in confidence, but I think that Shi is bold enough, and he is not afraid that the old man will find an opportunity to join him?

The third lady sighed at the end: "In the end, I am ashamed, if Di Jia were a boy, there would be no such things." ”

Shi Dijia was still comforting her mother, but when she heard this, her brows furrowed, and she turned her face away and ignored the third lady. I took the opportunity to touch her and said, "Sister, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

Stitchaqi said, "What do you thank me?" ”

"You've always helped me."

Stitcha said, "That was before. ”

I said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Shi Dijia smiled indifferently and said: "Among the brothers and sisters, the fifth brother couldn't practice sword qi before, and I was the only girl, if the two of us don't help each other, no one in the huge mansion will be able to communicate with each other, but now it's different, fifth brother, everywhere you go, the stars are holding the moon, but I'm just a little girl." ”

I hurriedly said, "Then it's time for the fifth brother to help you from now on." ”

Stega gritted her teeth and said, "How can you help?" ”

I laughed and said, "Then it depends on how you want me to help, even if you want to become a man, I have a way." ”

Shi Dijia smiled: "Fifth brother is talking nonsense. ”

I said: "By the way, if you want to shine, I can also introduce you to the daughter country, that's all up to the woman." ”

"Ah, has the fifth brother been to the daughter country?"

As he was saying this, he only heard the old family outside say: "Madam and young master, sit down, we have already left the city, and the road ahead is a little bumpy." ”

I lifted the curtain of the car to see, saw that the city wall has really been left behind us, the road in front of the village market is rushing, I asked the old family to stop, I went down to walk around, at this time the market will be scattered, there is nothing rare, only to buy a few pancakes, is about to get on the car, see the side of the road there is a sugar gourd seller, I bought two strings, after getting on the car to distribute to everyone.

From the morning to now, everyone is not in the water and rice, although the pancake looks yellow and burnt, but there are green onions and pepper salt, the aroma is tangy, a few ladies hesitated for a moment and had to take a small bite to eat, I handed the sugar gourd to Shi Dijia and the green calyx each a string, while eating the cake while instructing the old family to continue on the road.

After a while, our car was walking down a deserted road in the countryside, and I ate a piece of bread, and began to sit a little still, and kept lifting the curtain to look out, muttering, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

Shi Dijia wondered, "Fifth brother, what are you looking for?" ”

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the grove in front of them, and these people stood in a row in the middle of the road, carrying long knives on their backs, and their red vests were particularly dazzling...... I smiled and said, "Here it is!" ”

When the old family saw someone blocking the road, they had to say in a loud voice: "Several, borrow light." ”

These people turned a deaf ear and did not answer, but still stood quietly, only waiting for the car to approach, and the old family could not, so they had to pull the reins and strangle the carriage.

The men stared at the carriage coldly, but no one spoke, but they slowly pulled out their long knives together...... The old family was surprised, lifted the curtain and said in a trembling voice: "Madam...... We, I'm afraid we're going to be robbed. ”

Under the sun, the cold light on the long knife shone, how could a few women have seen this formation, the third lady who was the least daring suddenly screamed in fright, and pulled my clothes vigorously and said, "Give them all the money quickly!" ”

Shi Dijia was calm at this time, grabbed the third lady's hand and said, "Mother, they are not here to rob money. ”

I laughed and said, "My sister is right, they definitely don't want money." ”

The third lady was horrified: "Then what do they want?" ”

"Damn!"

As soon as I said these two words, I saw the third lady faint with a hiccup.

The eldest lady bit her handkerchief and said, "Di Zai, you run quickly!" ”

I shook my head and sighed, "I can't run." ”

"What then?"

"Don't worry, I'll meet them - one, two, three, four, five, six, they're here." I got up and walked to the car door after counting the heads, and saw the green calyx staring blankly outside, and kept poking her mouth with a sugar gourd stick, and I patted her.

"Huh?" The green calyx was frightened.

I smiled and said, "Give me another one." "I saw that she had seven hawthorn nuts on her stick.

At this moment, the green calyx didn't care about what I was going to do, and subconsciously bit off a red fruit and gave me the skewer.

I jumped out of the car with most of the string of sugar gourds and raised my chin at the other side: "Three-color stone?" ”

The person closest to me was stunned by my question, and then said loudly: "Not bad! ”

I nodded, and asked again, "The scarlet team?" ”

The man said, "I didn't think you still had some vision." ”

"Nonsense, I'm not colorblind like your captain."

"You...... Meet our captain? ”

I waved my hand and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, why are you here?" ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

I said angrily, "Do you know how much time I delayed waiting for you?" I used to dig into my trouser pocket to look at my watch, and when I took out the empty one, I asked the man, "How long is it until three o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

“…… Half an hour or so. ”

"Well, it's barely too late." I looked at the six killers who were stunned, and said with a smile: "Then hurry up and do it, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
