Chapter 372: The Old Lady on the Way to Beijing
PS: Today's network is a bit ridiculous, it's troublesome!
The spring light is very bright, and the scenery along the way is intoxicating, if the road is not so bumpy. It is the carriage designed in the palace, and it is also a trembling, if you want to say what is the worst thing in this ancient world, Yuyue thinks it is the road. Except for a limited number of official roads that are smoother, the rest is a matter of fate, Yuyue has been away from Yongqing County for an hour, I really don't want to settle, Yuyue shouted to stop, plucked the few flowers on his head in the carriage, and Banxia stepped forward and tied his hair for him. Then use a jade ring to tie up, take a set of men's clothes with arrow sleeves to change, with Yuyue women's clothes are different, but men's clothes are all colored, this set is light blue, lined with black leather boots, a good young man, Pan's mother and Qing's mother don't care about her, the two sat comfortably in the carriage, Zeng Tou led a refreshed horse from the back of the team, the saddle bridle was distinct, Yuyue turned over and rode up, Cheng Jiabao took a team of boys to follow Yuyue's skills, the Fan family's team into Beijing started again, this time, There are as many as 20 people in the nursing home brought by Yuyue, the main and deputy captains are Zeng Tou Tong Cheng Jiabao, the girls also brought a team, the four girls brought it, and there are more than ten second-class inner courtyard girls! It's all trained by Mama Ding.
On the way, it was cooked in a tea house at noon, Yuyue's pots and utensils were all used, of course, the nurses ate not bad at all, the jerky is not fake, everyone has it, plus the rice is easy to make, and the instant noodles are cooked very quickly. After eating, Zeng Tou led the team and walked along another road, not the original road to Beijing, but the Zhuangzi chosen by Pan's mother this time was the biggest and best Zhuangzi of Miss Gao. It is a little away from the capital, close to the tip of the wings of Fengchi Mountain, and I heard that there are hot springs. The scenery of Zhuangzi is still very beautiful. Many families in Beijing have Zhuangzi nearby, just because the mountains and rivers are good. Pan's mother decided to take Yuyue on vacation. I chose this Zhuangzi.
It's getting late, and it's very close to Zhuangzi, but the dark clouds are rolling in the sky, and there are thunders, and the day has become too fast!
"Childe, there is a temple in front of you. It's big enough and there is a meditation room, should we go in and hide from the rain? Zeng Tou quickly caught up with Yuyue. Said loudly.
Yuyue nodded her head: "Okay, let's avoid this rain!" ”
It is certainly not possible to avoid this rain, and it is not a good thing to be caught in the rain for the luggage pulled by the carriage and mule cart. Yuyue beat the horse to speed up. Cheng Jiabao went to the back and ordered the carriage to speed up and go to the temple to hide from the rain. Zeng Tou took the horse and rushed forward, this is the front of the road, Niangniang Temple incense is very prosperous, only to turn on the path in front of the temple, then smell a very heavy smell of incense and candles, such a big wind did not blow away, Zeng Tou did a good job, quickly looked for the temple to donate sesame oil silver. I asked for three rooms and a place to park my carriage. Yuyue got off the horse, her own boy came to lead the horse away, Pan's mother waited down, and went straight to a room, the little novice in the temple had already stabbed the fire open, and the water was boiling, Pan's mother took out the tea set, made tea, and Banxia personally took it and sent it to the outside hall to give Yuyue to drink.
At this time, Yuyue was holding a horsewhip inlaid with rubies in her hand, followed by Zeng Tou and the guards, and let people see it casually, it was a frame for the son of a family to go out, Yuyue took the tea and drank it, while looking at the silver rain curtain outside the main hall.
"Zeng Tou, what should I do if this rain doesn't stop?"
"Childe, this rain comes and goes fast, it should be passing rain!"
"At this time, such heavy rain is really rare!" Qing's mother also came out and accompanied Yuyue behind, and when she heard the two talking, she replied. The people who were blocked by the rain were not one or two, and then a few families passed by and rushed in through the rain curtain. It's actually a young lady with a veil! When he was about to take off the veil, he saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help but be stunned, bent over and blessed, surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law, and walked to the other side.
Just thinking about it, she heard a delicate low cry from inside, and the voice like a yellow bird screamed, this young lady wearing silver brocade actually retreated again, to Yuyue's surprise, it was actually an old woman who stretched out her claws at this young lady! This is an old lady wearing a rosin-colored dress, the skirt is embroidered with exquisite swastika longevity patterns, and her hair is gray, her face is majestic and strict, and the corners of her mouth have deep wrinkles. There are also Sichuan character lines between the eyebrows, which makes Yu Yue feel that this old lady has never laughed, how long does it take to survive such deep wrinkles.
"Rip your veil off, I'll see, quick!"
Although this young lady was dressed in a wisp of silver and a hundred flowers wearing a moon and white brocade, although she was wet by the rain, it was okay, the plain cloak with golden silk peony at the bottom stopped most of the rain, and the whole person was not too wolf.
"This son, this is ......" looked at this extraordinarily dressed old woman, the two phoenix eyes glanced back and forth, and the old and the young were recognized as a family.
Yuyue took a step back and shook the horsewhip twice in front of her, indicating that the old woman was not in the same group as herself.
"Quick, quick, I see that your body looks very much like my good grandson......"
Several able-bodied servants helped the old woman, and a housekeeper's mother came forward, saluted the young lady, and whispered something, and the young lady lifted her veil and saluted the old woman! Hurriedly walked to the other rooms in the temple, curling Nana's gait, and saw Yuyue sigh: What a beauty, it's a pity......
Zeng Tou said something to Qing's mother, Qing's mother helped this little boy with her hand, and went into her guest room to rest, when Yuyue was leaving, she heard the old lady and whispered: "Good grandson, where have you been?" Come back. ”
The voice was poignant, and Yuyue's heart trembled. Looking back, the old lady's footsteps were procrastinating, and it seemed that her body was very bad. Yuyue couldn't help but have a thought, is this old lady the so-called wind and candle in her last years?
The rain fell for an hour, and finally stopped, and there was a sunset in the sky, which was too discordant, and Zeng Tou arranged to pull the carriage or something on the road, but Yuyue did not ride a horse, but got into the carriage.
Behind her, there was also the sound of the family arranging to go on the road, Yuyue lifted the curtain of the car and saw that the young lady had changed her clothes and got into the carriage. Zeng Tou rode over and whispered, "Childe, let's go!" ”
"Who's in the back?"
"Duke Liujun, now it's the Duke of Guo, the carriage of Duke Liu's family!"
Yuyue's mind turned, the hanging princess Xian!
The carriage quickly rushed towards the village, the rain was heavy, fortunately this road was paved with gravel, there was not much mud, there were few pits, the front was the manor, a breath, before the sky was dark, it must be rushed.
After walking for an hour and a half, the sky was dark, it was already the end of the hour, the manor had long known that the master was arriving today, so the color was ready, Yuyue's carriage entered the private road, and it was faster, the road was smooth, all bluestone roads, natural driving was very convenient, according to Pan's mother, as long as it was into this road, it was into the manor, on the way into the village, the lanterns of the dead wind were hung high, and the lights were hung in each courtyard and every room, so that the surroundings were bright, and the road went ten miles before I saw the high manor gate!
Steward Xu led the head of the village and the servants everywhere to guard the gate, about 100 people, and when they saw Yuyue's carriage coming in, they all knelt down to greet them, and Steward Xu was also ready to kneel. Pan's mother got out of the car and said:
"Spread the master's words, no courtesy, everyone get up and talk back!"
Mother Qing put the stool here, and Yuyue walked down and changed back into the women's clothes that went out!
Someone from Zengtou had already come to lead the carriage over to unload the goods, Banxia, Honghua, etc. took paper and pens, and directed the boxes to be put away temporarily, and there were a few boxes with good words, and they were immediately carried into Yuyue's bedroom! Busy and methodical.
Zhuangtou Lady is a woman with a thick waist and wide arms, but she is delicate, she takes people early, prepares washed vegetables, and cooks more than a dozen chickens in a clay pot over slow heat, as well as cut and soaked in blood, fish, tofu, mushrooms and so on, all finely clean, packed with bamboo baskets, and covered with fine white cloth. Immediately ask Pan's mother what to do with this dinner? This time, Yuyue brought Sister-in-law Zhou, who was cooking, to come over, and Pan's mother asked Sister-in-law Zhou to take a break and take care of the girl's meals.
This Zhuangzi also has a large banquet parlor, and the tables and stools have already been set up, and the lights are bright, so that they will eat hot meals and hot dishes in less than two moments.
Pan's mother tried the chickens with a silver needle, and in Yuyue's smiling gaze, she came in with two chickens with a red face.
"Girl, isn't there a big mistake in being careful!"
"Hehe, Mother Pan, it's naturally good to be cautious, but this is your own Zhuangzi, what are you thinking? And I'm really curious, how did you say that you took out this silver needle, where did you put it? ”
Pan's mother spread out her two hands, one hand was a sharp silver needle, and the other was a flower made of silver.
"Girl, I have more than a dozen sets of this needle! There are also jade shells. Pan's mother smirked. I really didn't see it, this look is just a silver hairpin, and I really want to think of it.
Yuyue took a little chicken torn off by Banxia, a small bowl of soup, and took a sip gently:
"You're tired all day, eat!"
Pan's mother put a few green vegetables fried by Zhou's sister-in-law, and a chicken tofu with steamed chicken soup, Yuyue ate less at dinner, everyone is used to it, and there is less for dinner, and these dishes are enough.
Yuyue only ate half a bowl of rice, drank two small bowls of soup, ate some green vegetables, and that's it. Get up and see where you are going to live. (To be continued......)
