Chapter 65: Youzhou (II)
Chapter 64: Youzhou (II)
The soldier's head still wanted to drill into the carriage, but Changting buried his head lower, and moved in little by little, half-sideways, the soldier was nearly an inch, and Changting retreated an inch.
Hu Yuniang's hands were clenched into fists, her whole body was tense, and she was ready to go.
Changting lowered his head, but happened to be stuck in front of Hu Yuniang.
Changting's little face is plain white, his eyelashes are hanging on his pure white skin, his eyes look down like autumn waves, Changting's expression looks calm and timid, and from Meng Tuo's angle, he can just see the little girl's biting jaw angle and half-pinched hands that are clenched tightly in the wide sleeves.
Meng Tuo clasped the horse's reins in his hand, and the short stubble raised by the reins pierced into the calloused palm of his hand, and then slowly released.
Yue Laosan had already lifted his robe and dismounted, and approached in a few big strides.
"Officialβ"
Yue Laosan smiled very happily, and took out a polished mutton fat jade ornament from his sleeve and stuffed it into the soldier's hand very easily, grabbed the soldier's shoulders, turned over halfway, and whispered flatteringly, "When you enter the city, I will prepare a few good chicks for the official and then bring you a few pots of fine wine from the business."
The soldier warmed his hand, squinted his eyes again, and then took a closer look at the women in the compartment from top to bottom, put the ornaments into his arms, looked sideways under the carriage, and his mouth turned upward, "That's Mrs. Ru, the shopkeeper of Yue?" β
Yue Laosan hurriedly put down the curtain in the inner compartment first, leaned out of the way, and said with a smile, "It was the official who took the official to search and search?" β
The soldier snorted and paced back.
The curtain fell, cutting off the light from the disgusting smell, and Changting's stomach was uncomfortable, and a large piece of dirt seemed to be sticky on his cheeks, like a snake wriggling his body with cold, greasy mucus and climbing up inch by inch.
Changting's palms were cold, and after being stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and wiped the place where the person's fingertips had touched just now, wiped it again and again, and wiped it over and over again.
Xiao Changning leaned on the eldest sister's arms and grabbed Changting's clothes tightly.
Hu Yuniang clasped Changting's wrist, frowned and said softly, "It's going to be scratched, it's okay, it's okay."
What else can you say but be fine?
Hu Yuniang hated her clumsy mouth and stupidity, leaned over, took out a handkerchief with white hairballs from her sleeve, and clumsily wiped her face for Changting, and whispered softly in her voice, "It's okay, our face is not dirty, let's find a place to wash it with fragrant pancreas after it is stable, it is the soldier leader who is dirty, not us." β
Changting's nose was sore, and he almost fell into tears.
Outside there was shouting, the horn shouted, and the convoy moved forward.
Qingshao also passed.
The light in the carriage gradually dimmed, and the ancient city wall of the inner city of Youzhou was built very thickly, and after a long time, the carriage slowly lit up.
"Stampede-trample-stomped-trampled-"
After passing the city gate, he was surprised to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloping from the side of the convoy, the horses' hooves carried the wind, the wind lifted the curtain, and the long pavilion vaguely saw through the narrow gap that it was a soldier with light helmets and red tassels, they rode their horses and galloped very fast, and the wind and dust seemed to bring the wind and frost accumulated in the outer city into the ancient city gate.
The red tassel plug, the high feather covers the body, and the heavy helmet wraps the head.
Dressed exactly like the soldier who wore the horizontal collar that night.
It's not useful.
Changting raised his head slightly, leaned over to cover the curtain more tightly, all the way the column was wiped out, so far lost, all the way the column returned in vain, how many men and horses did Zhou Tongling send out to search? There are tens of thousands of soldiers in a city, and the search manpower can only be selected from the henchmen, thousands of them, at most nearly a thousand people scattered to search, but Dai Heng's luck is really better than others, and he found them in one hand, but unfortunately his good luck has been used up when he searched for them.
Zhou Tongling should be in a hurry now.
If you can't find them, you can't pay the difference, you can't pay the difference, there is no way to announce it, there is no way to announce it, it means that it is impossible to occupy the magpie's nest in a justifiable and dignified place
The pavilion suddenly had a very secret and gloating pleasure.
The carriage turned left and right, and gradually passed the crowded and very lively place, the noisy voices were farther away, and the carriage stopped when the surroundings gradually quieted down, Man Xiu got off first, and stood next to the carriage to help the three little girls down, Hu Yuniang was very uncomfortable, whispered and complained to Changting, "Grabbing people's arms, itching to death, I am not missing arms and legs, and the next carriage has to be carried by people"
Changting pulled Hu Yuniang, raised his chin, and motioned for Hu Yuniang to look.
Hu Yuniang propped up her neck and looked.
This is the first time they have seen such a magnificent courtyard in more than ten days, no, this is the first time she has lived for more than ten years to see the green tile gray wall, the eaves corner bend and bend to build a light silk stitch, they stopped in front of the main entrance, and when they looked up, they could just see the word "Li Zhai" on the red lacquer plaque, and then two lions with their heads held high and their mouths held back to the mansion, no, how can lions have long beards, eagles? No, how can an eagle not have wings
Hu Yuniang's thoughts flew all of a sudden, and she leaned over and asked Changting, "What is that?" β
Changting glanced at it and was about to answer in a whisper, but he heard Yue's voice like a bell, "Pixiu!" Fushun wants to make money, Pixiu only eats and does not vomit, which is a good implication for the Jia family to gather wealth! He turned around again and pointed to the door at the corner of the street, letting Hu Yuniang look, "Look, what is that?" β
Hu Yuniang didn't know a few words, and vaguely looked at a copperplate-like signboard hanging in front of the store's house in the wind, and hesitated, "Silver number? β
Yue Fan's back was straight, and he nodded with a smile, "That's right!" Pixiu's mouth is facing the silver number, which means to swallow all the money in the Youzhou silver number into his own stomach, in order to fight for this house, but he spent a lot of money, just to be auspicious! β
Half of the silver horns of the Great Jin Dynasty were opened by the officials of various states, and the Fushun dared to build a Pixiu stone statue facing the silver number of the official family, wanting to swallow the money of the official family
Changting tilted his head and thought about it, too, Shi Meng's old scoundrel made it.
Hu Yuniang was stunned and nodded again and again, Yue Fan raised her horsewhip, shrugged her shoulders triumphantly and raised her head, an inattentive injury to her back, and with a low "hiss", the young and proud Fengzi disappeared all of a sudden.
Some people are born without the gift of beauty.
Changting burst out laughing.
Someone came out of it, a shopkeeper on the left, a young master on the right, and a female dependent, Yue Laosan introduced that it was Mrs. Li, who was the wife of the manager of Fushun in Youzhou, Mrs. Li first blessed herself with Changting, and her tone was very vague but very respectful, "The eldest girl has worked hard all the way, and she is waiting for you to come after preparing a hot pot!" β
The long pavilion bowed in return, and Mrs. Li led a few girls into the mansion first, and the men tied their horses and unloaded things in the outer courtyard.
As soon as she entered the mansion, as soon as the Zhu Door was closed, Mrs. Li's posture was lowered, and she leaned sideways to guide the way, and her tone was submissive, "Three or four days ago, I received a letter from Lord Meng, saying that several extremely noble girls were coming to stay here, and the concubine was restless and waiting--people from official families usually do not communicate with the Fushun, you know that this world is chaotic, if others know the origin of this Fushun."
"Oh! Girl, turn right. β
Mrs. Li turned around the corridor, made a gesture of "you please first", and continued, "This is the first time that the official family has talked to us, and the official family said at the beginning that the Fushun number is the last way to retreat, and when the concubine received the letter, she was really panicked for a long time."
Three or four days ago?
Except for the road, the time point happened to be when they met Yue Laosan and his party.
Unsure of who they were, Yue Laosan decisively sent a letter to inform him, and Meng Tuo was also well prepared in advance
That's why I wasn't caught off guard
Changting straightened up, walked in front with Mrs. Li without hurry, Hu Yuniang led Changning and whispered behind him, Qingshao and Manxiu followed behind, this order was determined by Mrs. Li invisibly, and Qingshao had no objection at all - along the way, as long as the three of Changting were taken care of, Qingshao would definitely not be left behind, and the upper room where he lived, the clothes he wore, and the jewelry he wore, Qingshao was as good as ever.
