Chapter 115: Arrival in Beijing
As the woman fell to her knees, there was an eerie silence in the courtyard again.
The man who spoke was also stunned, and when he came back to his senses and saw Wei Chengfeng's expression beside him, he suddenly secretly said in his heart, I am afraid that this fart will be slapped on the horse's leg today.
He expected that this little lady would not kneel down for a maid to speak, but who would have thought that she would really kneel!
Is the person Wei Ershao brought just now a maid? Mistaken, right? Which master would kneel for a maid?
When a few people were still silent, Zhao's mother was already crying and shouting to pull Mengbao up.
Mengbao knelt there fixedly, not moving.
Sang Zi was silent, walked to Mengbao's side and knelt down together, leaning over and kowtowing.
Zhao's mother, who was crying and red-eyed, couldn't pull Mengbao, so she could only kowtow again.
The three of them knelt silently outside the hospital, silent, only Zhao's mother's suppressed cries came from time to time.
“…… Release ......"
"Two Less ......"
"Let go!"
Wei Chengfeng shouted.
The man sighed helplessly and waved his hand to the subordinate behind him: "Bring the person."
The subordinate turned around in response, and after a short time, he brought out the unconscious red note.
Mengbao and the others hurriedly got up to greet her, and when they saw that she was only unconscious and didn't look like she had any external injuries, they were relieved.
But just because there's no trauma doesn't mean there's nothing else...... In case she has been ......
Wei Chengfeng knew what she was thinking when he saw her appearance, and hurriedly yelled again: "I didn't ......"
As soon as he shouted two words, he regretted a little, and his voice suddenly lowered: "I didn't ...... Didn't do anything to her...... She's fine......"
Mengbao nodded: "Thank you, Childe." Mulberry, take the red note back. ”
Sangzi nodded and took the red note, and carried it firmly on his back.
"I ...... I'll have someone send you ......," Wei Chengfeng said.
Mengbao turned his head to look at him. A smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately blessed himself again: "Thank you, son, no need."
This was the second time she smiled at him, but the smile was clearly full of mockery, as if to say: You sent us? Where to send it? Also sent to such a yard and locked up?
He stood in place in a daze, watching the woman turn away, and felt an inexplicable panic as the woman passed by him. Subconsciously tugged at her sleeve.
"I ...... I didn't mean to...... I ......"
The words came to an abrupt end with a flash of disgust in the woman's eyes. He only felt that his throat was dry, and the sentence sorry was stuck in his throat like this, and he couldn't go up or down.
The people in front of him are no longer as indifferent or annoyed as before. It's disgust, full of disgust......
She hated him......
It's useless, it's useless to say anything now, she won't believe it. Or rather. She didn't trust him at all.
The woman pulled the sleeve of her coat out of his hand, and her face was already calm. The well-behaved blessing body once again gave a salute, and said quietly as water: "Farewell."
Then he turned around and never stopped.
Wei Chengfeng looked at the slightly gloomy backs of several people who were far away, and slowly clenched his fists.
He obviously didn't want to do that...... He didn't think so......
"Two Less ......"
"Roll !!"
An angry roar shook the eardrums of the man on the side, and he subconsciously turned sideways slightly. Then I looked at my yard and thought about where I should "roll" to.
Before he could think about it, he saw Wei Chengfeng walking out of the courtyard gate with his feet up, "rolling" faster than him......
…………………………
When Hongjian opened her eyes, she saw Mengbao and Zhao's mother both guarding her bedside. This scene is like the last time she failed to commit suicide and was knocked out by Sangko
She sat up a little inexplicably: "Miss, why are you here?" ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhao's mother on the side: "Mother...... What's wrong with your swollen eyes? What happened? ”
She anxiously grabbed Zhao's mother's sleeve.
Meng Bao glared at her with a smile: "I'm embarrassed to say!" Look at what time it is. You've slept comfortably by now, but you've made us anxious! ”
"Huh?"
The red note was puzzled: "I...... I slept for a long time? That...... Is it delaying our departure? Oh mother, why didn't you wake me up. ”
"Why didn't you scream, you slept too deeply, you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed, didn't you see that Zhao's mother's anxious eyes were crying? If we hadn't found a doctor to show you, and the doctor said that you were really okay and just sleeping, we would all have to wonder if you had ascended to immortality! ”
Hongjian was stunned when he heard this: "Can't wake up?" ”
"That's right, the doctor said that you are too tired on the way, and you are always cranky and overthinking in your heart, and lack of rest, so you can't sleep, and when you sleep enough, you will naturally get up, isn't this waking up now?"
Hongjian was stunned and looked at Zhao's mother in a daze: "Really? ”
Mother Zhao looked at Mengbao, then at her, choked up and nodded: "Well, you are really ...... Scared my mother......"
Hongjian saw that Zhao's mother's eyes were filled with tears again, and hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't cry, haven't I already woken up, I won't sleep for so long in the future to worry you and Miss!" ”
She was really nervous in her mind during this time, for fear that the second son of the Rongguo Mansion would embarrass Miss because of herself, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. But I didn't expect it to be so strict that she couldn't wake up from sleeping, which made her mother and young lady anxious like this.
Mengbao smiled and patted her shoulder: "Okay, if you have slept enough, get up quickly, it's time to go." ”
The red note replied and hurriedly got up to pack up his things.
Mengbao looked at her busy back and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the red note has a simple temperament, and she has always believed whatever she says to Zhao's mother, otherwise it is really difficult to fool the past.
A few people walked towards the ferry after leaving the inn, paying attention all the way to see if the people from the Rongguo Mansion were following them again.
Fortunately, this trip was very smooth, and until they arrived at the ferry, they did not see their team of men and horses coming as before in a mighty manner.
After today's incident, no matter how thick-skinned the young man is, it will not be good for him to come over like before, right?
Mengbao breathed a sigh of relief again. According to the previous plan, he and a few people abandoned the current carriage and walked towards the ferry.
A few people went around the ferry for a long time, but they did not change the waterway as they said with Wei Chengfeng before, but took advantage of the crowded ferry and divided into two teams and walked out quietly.
Mengbao sat down with Hongjian and Zhao's mother in a simple tea shop that could see the surroundings clearly, got up and left two quarters of an hour later, and came to a horse market.
Sangzi had already set up another carriage to wait for them here, and after a few people got into the car, they drove away from Peng'an Town without looking back. Drive towards Lishui County.
…………………………
Wei Chengfeng listened to the report of his subordinates. A wry smile tugged at his lips.
Sure enough, it was a lie to him, what a change of waterway, obviously took the land route again!
She was wary of him throughout. didn't even want to tell her where to go in the end, and finally said a change of waterway, but he still lied to him.
"Second young master, people are really not going well with us this time. Don't chase it, right? The servant asked.
Wei Chengfeng was silent, and nodded after a while: "Don't chase after you." ”
The servant breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately I felt that it was wrong, what do you mean "you" don't chase? So what does that mean...... He chases?
"I heard that there have been horse thieves on the way to Lishui County recently, and most of them are women, so I went over to take a look. Don't look back and what's wrong. ”
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
The subordinate sighed, and immediately collapsed his face: "Master, what you said was at least half a year ago, right?" ”
There were indeed horse thieves around Lishui County for a while. But the imperial court later killed it ruthlessly, and now it is under Qingming. Not to mention horse thieves, there are only a few small thieves.
Wei Chengfeng said as he walked out: "The group of horse thieves likes to go and return the most, he ran away if you killed him today, and he will come back tomorrow when he relaxes, in case they are encountered, wouldn't it be troublesome?" ”
The trouble is also their trouble, and it's not your trouble, what the hell do you care......
The next person said in his heart.
"Huh? Second young master, why don't you say hello to your lady before leaving? ”
Seeing that the young man was about to walk out of the inn, the subordinate hurriedly said.
Wei Chengfeng raised his hand: "You escort your wife back to Beijing first, and your master will rush over directly from Lishui in a few days." ”
"Huh? But...... Madame won't let you walk alone! ”
So many people are watching and guarding the day, why do you have to leave people around you to stare at it?
"You can just tell her on my behalf, it's not a few days away from the capital, let her rest assured, I'll be fine."
Of course you'll be fine! It's because I'm afraid that something will happen to others!
"It's not...... You, how are you......"
Before he finished speaking, the young man had already taken a few attendants and left, leaving only a little choking smoke.
The subordinate coughed twice, and looked at their distant backs with a bitter face: "Why don't you ask your wife if ......you agree?"
…………………………
When Duchess Rongguo learned the news, she sat up straight suddenly: "He brought someone to follow him himself?" ”
"Yes."
“…… It's really serious...... Who did he bring? ”
"The second young master's own attendants."
The beautiful woman was silent when she heard this, sighed helplessly, and threw out a token casually.
"Send seven people from the Eagle Guard to follow him, you must keep an eye on me, don't cause any trouble."
The subordinate was stunned: "...... Don't you just arrest the second young master back? ”
The beautiful woman closed her eyes, her brows tightly furrowed.
"This kid has been reluctant since he was a child, he took it seriously this time, even if he caught it, he was afraid that he couldn't let it go, and when he got the opportunity, he would still run out and find the little lady again. Although the little lady looks like Sven, she is actually a fierce person in her heart, and she really dares to hit him directly in the face when she is in a hurry. ”
“…… So...... What do you mean...... Let the Eagle Guard protect the second young master? lest he be beaten? ”
Isn't that overkill?
"Phew!"
The beautiful woman glared at him: "What to protect!" Wait until he's beaten and then bring someone back to me!" Otherwise, he won't hit the south wall and won't look back! ”
Oh, that's it...... Is this like their lady's style!
The next person hurriedly responded and went down to make arrangements.
It's just that none of them expected that Wei Chengfeng was very honest all the way, and he didn't show up in front of Mengbao at all, only followed her from a distance behind, and on the way, he really met a group of horse thieves who wanted to come back to find out the situation. As a result, the gang of horse thieves was completely wiped out as soon as they probed the probe, and the only news they heard was that there was no return.
…………………………
Mengbao looked at the bustling town in front of him, and there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.
After more than 20 days of travel, they finally came to the capital of Sheng'an Kingdom, the capital.
"It's several times more prosperous than Bei'an City......
She looked at the bustling street market outside from the slightly lifted curtain, like a child going out for the first time, her eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.
It turns out that this is the capital of the country in ancient times, and it is even more lively and prosperous than she imagined......
Mother Zhao smiled: "If Miss likes it, let's go out for a walk when the luggage is placed." ”
Although I came here out of necessity, since I had come here, it was better to go shopping in the market than to spend all my days in the house staring at the sad things.
Mengbao naturally nodded: "Well, you must take a look!" ”
In this way, it will not be in vain for her to go through a ......
"Okay, then let's find an inn to live in first, and then the slave maid will go to see where there is a suitable yard nearby to rent, and when the arrangement is made, we will move over, and then move away when the Hou Ye comes to pick us up."
This is something that Zhao's mother has long agreed with Mengbao, although Mengbao feels that the guest house doesn't matter, but Zhao's mother will resolutely not agree.
They stayed at the inn on the way because they were in a hurry, and they had to do it, but now that they don't know how long they want to stay in the capital, there is no reason to let Miss live in the inn for a long time.
This is not only a bad reputation, but also unhappy when Hou Ye comes.
Mengbao actually doesn't care where she lives, and she doesn't bother to care too much about this kind of thing, after all, in terms of etiquette and rules, Mother Zhao knows more than her, and the arrangements are the most suitable, so she will go with her, and she will do whatever she says.
Anyway, they are not very short of money now, even if they only live for a few days but have to pay for a few months, it does not have much impact on them.
Moreover, it is indeed more convenient to have a yard of their own to live in, and it is cleaner, the inn is full of people coming and going, if you just stay for a few days, it will be fine, but if the Marquis of Zhenyuan does not come to pick them up for a long time, they will not be decent to live in the inn......
Mengbao was in a happy mood at the moment, and hoped that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would come later, so that she would have time to take a good look around the capital and experience the prosperity of the ancient metropolis.
…………………………
In a restaurant on the side of the street, in the good private room on the second floor, the man sitting by the window lazily turned the wine glass in his hand and looked out the window aimlessly.
People come and go on the street, and from time to time there is a woman's delicate laughter.
It's not good, it's all bad, and no one's voice is as good as hers.
A horse-drawn carriage drove down the street, and a slender hand lowered the curtain and retracted it.
Her hands were as slender and white as this one, soft and boneless, and she always liked to do boring embroidery with needle and thread when she had nothing to do, but she always seemed to enjoy it.
"Brother Shen."
The person on the other side didn't know what to say, called out to him, and raised a glass to greet him.
Shen Nanzhu turned his head, nodded, and drank the wine glass.
In the carriage, Mengbao, who withdrew his hand, smiled and took the pastry that Zhao's mother bought from a restaurant, raised his hand and put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's delicious." (To be continued) R466
