Chapter 7: Chance Encounters
On the second day, Yingluo ignored Zichai's small protest and directly ordered to leave Luoyang City and go to the next place. The next bigger city is Pengcheng.
The journey took three days, and there were some small towns and villages on the way, and if they got to Pengcheng, it meant that they were not far from Suzhou, so they brought enough dry food.
Probably because Zichai was swept away by Yingluo, and she didn't say a word on the road for a long time, but Yingluo also understood her temper and knew that she couldn't last long, so she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, and after a while, the coachman lifted the curtain slightly and said, "Childe, there is a boy outside who asks if he can borrow a carriage?" ”
Yingluo opened her eyes, and saw the appearance of the boy through the slightly lifted curtain, a little familiar, I really can't remember where I saw it, but the purple hairpin next to her suddenly spoke, and her voice was a little faintly excited, "Miss, he is the son who knocked on the wrong door that night." ”
Yingluo turned to look at her, and Zichai reacted, "No, Childe." ”
"Well, Zichai, go and ask what's wrong with that son?" Yingluo commanded, and Zichai answered and got out of the carriage.
The man in front of him was dressed as a scholar, with his hair tied up and his head skirted, and he looked like a crepe. When the man saw Zichai get out of the car, he greeted him, "Can I borrow a carriage?" ”
"My son-in-law asked me to ask you, where are you going? Why borrow a horse-drawn carriage? Looking at the man's dumbfounded appearance, Zichai held back a smile and asked seriously.
"Under the surname Yang, the name Ziyou, is from Suzhou. At this time, I was going to Suzhou, and the direction of the boy should be the direction of Pengcheng, so I dared to ask the son to give me a ride and send the son to Pengcheng, and I would be grateful for it. The man hurriedly told the story of the incident, looking like an untrained teenager, and his face was a little red after saying a few words.
"Wait for me to talk to my son-in-law, you wait for a while." Zichai is a small fight is vivid. The man nodded.
Zichai returned to the carriage and conveyed Yang Ziyou's meaning to Yingluo, Yingluo looked up at Yang Ziyou again, looking at the young man who had just reached the weak crown, and behaved politely, he should not be a bad person, so he nodded and sent Zichai to call someone into the carriage.
Zichai led Yang Ziyou into the carriage, and as soon as he sat down, Yang Ziyou thanked Yingluo, "Thank you, son." ”
"Young Master Yang doesn't have to be polite, we are also going to Suzhou, since we are going, it doesn't hurt to be together." Yingluo nodded slightly, but saw Yang Ziyou staring at her face, thinking that she was wearing a mask, it was inevitable to arouse people's curiosity, so she quietly turned her head sideways, deviating from Yang Ziyou's line of sight.
Zichai was bored and talked to Yang Ziyou, "I saw Yang Gongzi at the Yunlai Inn, but there were still two women by your side at that time, what about them?" Zichai didn't shy away from speaking, not to mention that he was dressed as a man at this time, so he spoke boldly.
"Well, let's be honest, that's my mother and sister down there, and I just now we've been separated from them." Yang Ziyou heard Zichai's question, but he didn't know what to remember, but his eyes were a little evasive.
"In this wilderness, Yang Gongzi is relieved that the two of them are traveling alone?" Zichai was a little surprised, there was no one walking here for a long time, two women, helpless, if there was any trouble on the road, how would it be good. Thinking about it, I was a little worried about those two. When Yingluo heard this, she gradually set her eyes on Yang Ziyou.
Yang Ziyou felt Yingluo's gaze fall on him, and his movements seemed to be a little flustered, and he hurriedly explained, "Although my sister is a woman, because her body is not very strong since she was a child, my mother specially invited Mr. Lian Wu for her, and said a word of shame, my brother is three points lower in front of her." ”
"Besides, they're going to Chang'an, and they'll be there in a few days." Then, Yang Ziyou whispered again, but there was obvious annoyance in his voice.
"By the way, does Yang Gongzi know about the Huajia in the north of Suzhou City?" Yingluo asked casually, Zichai's words were about to be asked to someone else's house, this girl didn't know how to converge at all.
"But the silk family, the flower family?" When Yang Ziyou heard this, he raised his head and looked at Yingluo and asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Yingluo nodded.
"The Hua family is one of the main families who pay tribute to the palace every year, and they are the richest people in Suzhou, and even three-year-old children in the city know that the Hua family has a big business." Yang Ziyou said slowly.
"I know this, what I want to ask is the eldest young master of the Hua family." Yingluo shook her head and continued to ask. The so-called business war is to know oneself and the other to win all battles. Yingluo doesn't know anything about Hua Rufeng except for his name and identity, so she will only be passive. It's better to think about countermeasures early to have a chance of winning.
"Flowers like the wind?" Yang Ziyou repeated it again, but his eyes were a little complicated.
"Exactly. I had a business relationship with the Hua family, and I had some errands, so I came to Suzhou to meet him. Yingluo explained a little.
"Hua Rufeng is the current ruler of the Hua family, and his father is the incumbent Hua Tianxiong. It's just that the flowers are like the wind, but they are not the sister-in-law of the flower master. Yang Ziyou thought for a while and said.
"Is it because Master Hua doesn't have a son-in-law?" Yingluo didn't hear her father mention it, and she thought that Uncle Hua didn't make it clear to her father, but only mentioned it roughly.
"No, Master Hua has a main lady and two aunts, and Hua Rufeng is the heir of the second aunt. Mrs. Zhengfang has a son, but unfortunately, a year ago, the eldest son somehow became stupid. "All things in the world can be said to be good things that don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention such a big family as the Hua family, some good things are publicized, and what Yang Ziyou said is indeed something that everyone in Suzhou City knows.
When Yingluo heard this, she felt that things were not ordinary, and it could be what Hua Rufeng did, or it might not be, but in short, she could become the master from a concubine over her son-in-law, and her wrist could be seen to be unusual.
Yang Ziyou saw that Yingluo was frowning slightly, and then looked at him again, knowing that she was motioning for her to continue, so she continued, "The second aunt only has one heir, Hua Rufeng, and the third aunt also has a son and a girl. The son has just turned seventeen, and the daughter has reached the age of sixteen, and I heard that she is promised to be married to a good family. ”
"And the flowers are like the wind, I should be careful in persuading the son, although this person is smiling all day long, it seems to be a hanger, and he seems to be a gentleman, but in fact, it is not, in short, the son is careful." In the end, Yang Ziyou said that Hua Rufeng was just a few words, but it was enough to hear that Hua Rufeng was not easy to deal with, Yingluo received Yang Ziyou's concerned eyes, was stunned for a moment, nodded, and casually thanked him. And Zichai knew the warning of her own young lady just now, so she also closed her mouth and stopped talking, and the whole carriage only heard the sound of horses' hooves and the wind outside.
About half a day later, near evening, a few people casually found a place to rest, and when it was dawn the next day, they continued to hurry, and Zichai had already seen through the essence of Yang Zi's preferential treatment of people and blushed, so that there were more small shops on the road, and after three days, several people were not so estranged. Of course, Yingluo still retains her beautiful appearance, and she is not too close to Yang Ziyou, but can just say a few words.
