Chapter 62: The Old Road (Part II)

Meng Tuo and Yue Fan hadn't gotten on their horses yet, and they were standing sideways and didn't know what they were saying.

Both of them changed into clothes, wide robes and long clothes, with a gentleman's ebony hair crown, Meng Tuo's body was already slightly taller, Yue Fan's back injury was not complete, his back was not straight, Meng Tuo leaned forward slightly, so as to talk to Yue Fan at eye level.

Most people who are taciturn are like dust, but people who are intimate are often sweet-mouthed.

Changting bowed and greeted warmly, "Thank you Lord Meng for sending Manxiu to serve, but there are already many inconveniences along the way, if there are a few more people, it will inevitably be some."

Before the word "scruples" could be spoken, Meng Tuo opened his mouth, and his tone was very light, "Miss Lu doesn't need to worry. His eyes didn't look directly at Changting, he glanced at Man Xiu behind Changting before he said, "Her use is not just to serve you, Miss Lu doesn't have to think about it." ”

He's just too stalkative.

Yue Fan is mouth is poisonous, and scratches the shame of others with one claw.

Montato is

Well, Changting can't describe it, anyway, it's like he hasn't breathed out yet, but he was blocked in his chest with a gesture of elimination, and he can't say that he didn't come at all.

She had never met anyone like it.

Changting smiled lightly, let out a light "oh", and then said, "That's good, I thought it was arranged by Lord Meng, so I was a little scared." Then he led Changning to turn around and get into the carriage.

"Miss Lu—"

Meng Tuo was silent for a long time, thought about it, put his back behind his back, and finally explained in a deep voice, "Dragging the family into the inner city like this, since several people don't look like ordinary people, then you can't use the scene of ordinary people as a foil, but it's not okay to be too public." Entering the inner city and walking through the road, if you are a horse team vendor, then you must bring four women to wear a gang. It is better to set the shopkeeper of the business and bring his family to go to Hudi in Youzhou, whether it is to visit relatives or move north, it is easy to find from the beginning, and it can be regarded as conforming to current affairs, so as not to cause suspicion. ”

The times are turbulent, and there are indeed more and more families moving to visit relatives and friends day by day.

It seems that in the face of saving life and wealth, the local feelings of returning to the roots are just empty talk.

I can't eat enough, what kind of feelings do you talk about?

And the general rich family will not bring all the slaves with them, and it is the norm to bring one or two to take care of the itinerary on the way to the master's family, after all, like the Lu family's generous attitude, there are no more families in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Man Xiu also has a use, which is used to prove the identity of their group - it is not a rich family, but it also has some family background, which can be regarded as a serious trader's family.

Changting understood, turned around and looked at Meng Tuo gently, the young man was clearly defined, the morning light shone slightly on his side, and he looked carefully that the pupils were not like the Jin people, but very deep brown, his eyes were very heavy, and his feelings were never exposed.

Changting pursed his lips, thought about it, and told him very seriously, "If there is an arrangement in the future, I hope that Lord Meng will tell him very frankly, instead of random suspicion between the two parties, it is impossible to do it - after all, it is a person who has to walk all the way for ten days." For example, Man Xiu's origin, age, past, etc., I believe that Lord Meng knows it very well before he dares to use it with confidence, but after all, he wants to get along with a certain person day and night, and he is thinking if Lord Meng tells him in advance that it would be better, rather than knocking on the door early in the morning with an absolutely strong attitude? ”

The pavilion spoke so softly that only those within a few steps could hear it.

Hu Yuniang pulled the corners of Changting's clothes behind her, but Yue Fan gradually smiled.

In the long pavilion, Meng Tuo thought that he would not respond, and unexpectedly, Meng Tuo changed the horsewhip from his left hand to his right hand, his face did not move, but at the same time he withdrew, he whispered a "good", and before the good word landed, he left a long shadow in a green shirt.

As soon as the horn blew into the sky, the convoy moved.

In front of them were three men riding horses first, followed by two carriages, one large and one small, Changting, Yuniang, Changning and Manxiu in one car, and Qingshao alone in one car.

The pavilion sat down peacefully, calmly letting the curtain of the car be closed properly.

Man Xiu sat tremblingly on her knees, trembling all over, not daring to look up at Changting's face, but suddenly heard the voice of the well-born girl in front of her very soft, and called her "Man Xiu" softly, she hurriedly raised her head in a trembling voice.

"Can you hand me the teacup?"

Man Xiu hurriedly gathered his head, shrunk his hands and feet, trembled and buried his head, and poured a cup of tea very respectfully and handed it over.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The lid of the tea kept ringing, and it was the hand of the person holding the tea cup who was shaking.

The teacup was raised almost to the eyebrows of the long pavilion.

Changting sighed, she wanted to take a stand with Meng Tuo and say her attitude, but she scared the girl's family enough, sighed again in her heart, reached out and took the teacup, the water was still steaming, it was too full, the water swirled on the side of the teacup and almost rippled out, and it was so hot that she couldn't put it down, Changting turned his hand and put the teacup to his side, smiled and said softly, "The water is poured for eight points, and the words are left in a line." Today, I didn't do the latter, you didn't do the former, and the two sides are even. ”

Man Xiu couldn't sit still, and quickly shook his head again and again.

"I'm annoyed that Lord Meng didn't tell me in advance, but caught me off guard, and didn't prepare a reward or comb my hair and change clothes, which is really inappropriate." Changting raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I haven't annoyed you, you can relax." "Another meal," it is not easy for anyone in this world to beg for food, you are now with me, and I will do my best to take care of it, and I also hope that Man Xiu will be cautious in his words and deeds, and do not go wrong and step on the wrong step, so as to have a long-term friendship between the master and the servant. ”

It's better to say the ugly things first.

Man Xiu put his hands on his knees in an orderly manner, nodded like pounding garlic, thought about it, rolled up his sleeves and poured the tea again, and then respectfully presented it to the long pavilion.

The long pavilion looked at it, it was quite good, the water was poured eight points full, and it was not spilled at all.

looks very honest, but he can feel the door clearly in his heart, and he is a clever person, which means that he can understand what he says.

However, the wit is just an alternative in the Lu family's mansion, in the mansion of the Duke of Qi in Jiankang, Kyoto, even a fire girl is watching and listening to all directions, and her eyesight is so clever that people can't see her age, more important than cleverness, loyalty and honesty, to be honest, Chen Yu is not as smart as a hundred birds will drill camp, but the first person in the Changting room will always be Chen Yu, just because Changting is very clear that Chen Yu can give up her life for her

Recalling the old things, it was only ten days ago, but the long pavilion was in a trance as if a life had passed, like a white horse passing through a gap, floating clouds and mirror flowers.

Hu Yuniang didn't understand, but she subconsciously restrained the urge to talk to Man Xiu, and grabbed Lan Changting's shoulder, as if she had palpitations, "You said that you little girl, obviously have a good temperament, and you speak softly, but you almost got up with Lord Nameng under the eaves, and you had to bow your head."

Changting shook Hu Yuniang's hand back, pursed his lips and smiled.

Submit?

She doesn't bow her head.

As soon as you bow your head, you will be short, and others will be able to ride on your neck.

They reached out to the rescue, and she was grateful, and she had capital to reciprocate. So they can't repay the favor and then act without any scruples.

In the case that both sides didn't know much, Changting was on guard, but Meng Tuo stuffed a person close to him by himself, without telling in advance, or even explaining, this is ignoring and contempt, and even ignoring. What if she thought that Man Xiu was a pawn that Meng Tuo put next to her? Is it the people who are spying on her? What about even those who have bad intentions and other plans?

Employing people needs to know the roots, which is a habit brought by the scholars.

What's more, there is no one to protect her anymore, and she can't help but have more eyes.

The group has to get along for so many days, and since they don't understand each other, why not just put things on the table? It is good intentions, natural gratitude, not speculation, and the distance between people will be further and further apart because of their own ugly suspicions - this is not good for the journey.

She should at least show an attitude, not to mention that she is not a drag.

This is also what Lu Sui taught her.

The carriage "creaked" forward, the carriage was covered with a velvet blanket, a small red clay stove was burned, three small cases were placed, and a set of ancient books and travelogues were placed on it in turn, which was very pleasantly arranged.

Changning was quietly holding the book and reading, looking at it, he fell asleep on Changting's lap, Hu Yuniang was also drowsy, Manxiu tightened a string, and Changting chatted with her without a match, from Youzhou City, where she grew up, to Manxiu's father and mother, and then to Manxiu's experience of escaping from the inner city all the way, people relaxed when they spoke, and Manxiu's whole body gradually relaxed.

When it was time for lunch, Man Xiu had already called Changting to call the eldest girl very smoothly, "When I pressed my handprint to sign the deed of sale yesterday, I was afraid that Yue Sanye would not sign it, so I pressed it quickly!" Yue Sanye laughed at me. The master's family has money and food, and they have not lived a hard life, so they have pressed their handprints and sold themselves as slaves, at least I still have enough food to eat, and I will not starve to death and freeze to death! When I saw the eldest girl, Miss Ayu, and the second girl early this morning, I really felt that I was right—at least serving the girl's family! ”

"Who did you think you were serving?"

"Third Master Yue! Still panicking, didn't you fall into the hooligan pit? Which master doesn't recruit a small servant and let the maid serve closely? But Third Master Yue didn't look like a bad guy, and the young master who followed him didn't look like a bad guy either, so he hurriedly signed it after pondering and pondering. ”

Changting pursed his lips and smiled, "How many years have you signed?" ”

Man Xiu shook his head, "I can't read, I can't recognize it, and the third master Yue said it was a three-year period." ”

Changting bowed his head lightly, it is quite rare to only sign for three years, but thinking about it, they don't need to take advantage of the fire to rob, Manxiu's bottom is almost touched, and Changting's heart can't help but loosen downward.

Traveling all the way, there was no rest at all, several girls were very comfortable, the long pavilion curtains looked out, Yue Laosan and Meng Tuo rode very straight from morning to night, it didn't change at all, Yue Fan had injuries on his back, and he couldn't stand it, but Yue Laosan didn't say anything to let him rest in the women's pile.

It's like Lu Xuan's style of treating Lu Changying.

It's not that you don't feel distressed, it's that you can't feel distressed.

At night, he stopped on the road and rested for two hours, and then hurried forward, just in time for the sunrise to rise, and the time for the city gate of Youzhou to be opened. RS
