Chapter 21: When I Returned Home
After walking for about two days, passing by Luoyang City, because the time to come out was not short, and there was not much rest, they rushed to Chang'an non-stop, and several people were very tired along the way, not to mention that Yingluo didn't want to see Hua Tingfeng's underbeaten face at this time, so no one said much along the way. On the second day of leaving Luoyang City, I finally saw the gate of Chang'an.
The carriage stopped, Yingluo got out of the carriage, beat her arm, and after sitting in the carriage for so many days, she finally returned to her hometown, and the defense in her heart suddenly dispersed.
"This is Chang'an?" Hua listened to the wind and got off the horse, glanced at the city gate of Chang'an, and turned to Yingluo and asked. Yingluo didn't calm down a lot, nodded, and then walked towards the city gate, and a few people behind followed him to the city gate, because it was a little dark, and there were not many people entering the city at the moment.
After a few of them passed the city gate, Yingluo suddenly stopped, and listened to the wind to Hua who was leading the horse on one side, "It's so late, should the second son find a place to rest first?" ”
"It's really not appropriate to visit Ling Zun at this moment, but I'm not familiar with life in Chang'an, so Brother Yu should also give me a good place to go." Hua Tingfeng flashed his slender eyes and looked at Yingluodao.
Yingluo fiercely despised the flowers and listened to the wind, it seemed that she did have a bit of self-reliance when she went to Suzhou, but this guy wanted to pick up a bargain. It's just that he is a daughter, and if he is allowed to go back to the house with him, he will definitely be exposed, and he can only discuss it with his father first, so he can't let him enter the house today. Thinking about it, Yingluo said: "Because my father doesn't pay attention to the rules, I won't bother the second son to get rid of my father's disgust." There happens to be an inn on Chang'an Street, and I think the second son can go and rest for a night. ”
"Since Brother Yu said so, then I won't force it, Brother Yu will show me the way, and take me to Chang'an Street by the way." Hua Tingfeng didn't care if what Yingluo said was true or not, he was not in a hurry to go to the Jade Mansion, let him rest at this moment, and think about what he would do next.
Yingluo nodded, turned to the coachman, and after several people got into the carriage, Hua Tingfeng still followed with the horse. Not long after, the carriage arrived at Hanxiang Building on Chang'an Street.
Hanxiang Building is two connected two floors, one of which is dedicated to food, and the other is dedicated to the accommodation of distant passers-by. The first floor of the two floors is connected by a person in the middle, and there must be a sign for the hotel to go to the floor where the hotel is staying. In other words, this incense building is rigorous.
The carriage stopped at the door of Hanxianglou, but it was just a time for Hua to listen to the wind and get off the horse, Yingluo opened the window and said, "Second son, I brought these two girls back, you are so resting." As he spoke, he lowered the window directly, and didn't listen to what Hua Tingfeng said in the back, so he left in the dust. And Hua Tingfeng, who was standing at the door, touched his nose in confusion, he just wanted to say slow walking, did he need to walk so fast?
Because the Jade Mansion was also on Chang'an Street, it didn't take long for the carriage to stop in front of the Jade Mansion. Zichai went down first, and then Yingluo also got out of the carriage. After Yingluo got off the carriage, Shiyan and Mo Xuan also got out of the carriage.
Yingluo and Zichai walked to the door, Zichai knocked on the copper ring on the door, and after a while, a family came to open the door, seeing that it was Yingluo, the family's face changed slightly, and his eyes swept over the two girls behind Yingluo, and he whispered a word to the son. Yingluo nodded, and then entered the mansion.
As soon as she took two steps, Yingluo turned to Zichai and ordered, "You take the two of them back to the courtyard first, don't walk around, wait for me to come back." Zichai nodded, and then took Shiyan and Mo Xuan around the hall and walked towards Yingluo's courtyard. She didn't see the look of the family just now, not because she was surprised by her sudden return, but more of a look of horror, as if she wanted to hide something.
Yingluo turned around and asked, "What is Daddy doing at the moment?" ”
The family didn't look up, but his voice trembled a little, and he replied in a low voice: "Miss Hui, the master is eating in the hall." With just one sentence, Yingluo understood something. In normal times, if Yingluo didn't accompany Yu Chifeng to eat, Yu Chifeng would tell the family to bring the food to the study, and now that he is eating in the hall, he is probably a guest. Yingluo thought for a moment, but didn't see the family carefully wiping the sweat leaking from the nervousness on her face.
Yingluo thought for a while, and then instructed the family: "You go to tell your father, just say that I am back, the road is tiring, I will go back to the yard to tidy up." The family nodded, and walked down the hall. Yingluo is thinking that the people who can go to the house to eat are familiar to her father, and she must know that her father only has one daughter, and now if she is wearing men's clothes, she will go happily, I am afraid that it will be misunderstood.
Therefore, Yingluo went back to the courtyard first. Zichai was already a little earlier than Yingluo, and when Yingluo went back, Zichai was already standing outside the courtyard to meet Yingluo. It's just that Zichai's back is empty, and the two girls who were still with her just now are gone.
Yingluo frowned, why didn't this girl have any thoughts, so she let those two girls in the yard, although those two girls were not bad people, but they were not their own people after all. After all, after following Yingluo for so long, Zichai knew what her young lady was thinking when she looked at Yingluo's expression, and hurriedly said, "Miss, they let me be locked in a room, so I dare to wait for Miss here." ”
When Yingluo heard it, she was really happy. Zichai came up with such a method and locked the two up.
Zichai looked at her young lady being amused, and suddenly felt that her method was stupid, but she couldn't stay in the yard and stare at them, so she had to trick them into the house, lock them inside, and let them tell her to run out of the courtyard and wait for her own miss, who knew that the young lady would laugh at her.
Yingluo was happy for a while, calmed down a little, and took Zichai back to the courtyard. Zichai led her to the room where Shiyan and Mo Xuan were kept. Yingluo asked Zichai to open the door, and the two girls in the house immediately walked out. However, he didn't look disheveled, and although he had a panicked expression on his face, he didn't do anything drastic.
"Why is Jade Gongzi locking us up?" Mo Xuan, who had just come out, obviously didn't understand, so she just asked.
Yingluo did not answer the question: "If you shouldn't ask, you don't need to ask again." You stay here for one night first, and we'll talk tomorrow when the second son comes. After finishing speaking, Yingluo directly ordered a few maids to watch at the door, and they were not allowed to move around casually. Mo Xuan and Shi Yan were still obedient, but they were stunned for a moment, and then stopped making a sound according to Yingluo's instructions, and then Yingluo returned to her room with Zi Hai.
Yingluo's courtyard is not a square courtyard, but it is getting deeper and deeper. On the side of the back lake, there is also an independent small courtyard, and Mo Xuan and Shi Yan are locked in that small courtyard, so Yingluo's routine and rest activities in the front yard are indeed invisible.
