Zhao Hui got married, and Yu Shu watched the ceremony from beginning to end, watched her get on the sedan chair, and followed the welcoming team to He's house.

The sedan chair personally escorted by Pei Jing invited some friends in the shopping mall to join in the fun, and on this day he released a word, Zhao Hui is the righteous sister of Pei, the head of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, and Yu Shu believes that this matter will be spread to the Ji family on the same day.

After the cave room, when it was dark, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu left together in Pei Jing's carriage, and at Yu Shu's request, they went to the east of the city, the alley of Zhao Hui's house.

Inevitably, there was something unexpected, Pei Jing accompanied her to get out of the car, the two went to the door of Zhao Hui's house, Yu Shu opened the door and went in alone, went into the house and lit the lamp and came out, went to the kitchen to get a spatula, dug out a long strip of cloth from the soil, patted the soil on it, carried it in his hand, and flattened the soil pit with his feet.

The night was dark, she withdrew and closed the door, Pei Jing only vaguely saw that she had something in her hand, so he asked, "What did you take?" ”

"An antique." Yu Shu didn't explain in detail, the thing in her hand was nothing else, it was the "Ancient Sword" that she hid when she took someone to the suburbs to save Xue Wenzhe a few months ago, which was buried by her under the wall of the miscellaneous courtyard before, and then she was kicked out, so Yu Xiaoxiu, who was still in the Ji family at that time, secretly dug it out and buried it in Zhao Hui's house.

Whether this sword is an "ancient sword" She doesn't know, but it must be an old antique, this time she is going to the capital, just take it away, and then find someone who can identify one or two, if it is really a treasure, then it will be big. **

It's summer, it's rainy in the south, it only rained last night, the next day, the air is cool and comfortable, after Yu Shu washed, he called the maid who served in the yard to come in and comb his hair, tie a ponytail, and wrap up the apricot yellow silk hairband on the high plate, dig up the hair oil to wipe up the sideburns and forehead hair, and expose the whole face plate barely.

After calling the maid to bring the water out, she shook off the new clothes neatly folded at the head of the bed and dressed in the mirror.

The apricot yellow plain half-length silk shirt will cover the thighs, the narrow sleeves are shoulder-length, the slightly open placket happens to cover the ups and downs of the chest, a pair of soot pants, carefully tucked at the edge of the black cloth boots, the waist is tied with an inch-wide black leather leather belt, hung on the blue bottom purse, with a colored rope strung with three blessing coins, and the most reluctantly will be the tightly wrapped in the cloth strip of the "sword", learn from Jingchen's appearance, and tie the ribbon on the back.

Take a look in the mirror, reflecting a tall young man, an indisputable age, eyebrows, shining eyes, delicate and full of energy.

Yu Shu moved his hands and feet, grinned at the mirror with satisfaction, posed a few times, smelled beautiful, turned around and picked up the money bag on the bed, one stuffed into his arms, the other in the baggage, carried it on his shoulder, and walked out of the house.

Yu Xiaoxiu got up earlier than her, cleaned up quickly, and sat outside waiting for her to have breakfast, all dressed neatly and cleanly, even Jinbao took a special shower last night, and was rubbed back and forth by Yu Shu with a loofah.

The outside of the gate of this house was stared at by the Ji family for a few days, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu had dinner, the sky was bright, the two of them were led by the maid, and found a hidden back door in the backyard.

It has only been three days since she was newly married, and Zhao Hui had a hint of red light on her face, as soon as she saw Yu Shu, she pulled her and didn't let go, took Yu Xiaoxiu with one hand, and said to her sister and brother reluctantly:

"Don't run around on the road, cover the quilt when you sleep at night, you must be full when you should eat, I wrapped two packs of snacks, put your snacks on the road, eat hungry at night, Xiao Xiu, follow your sister wherever you go, you are also a little man, Aunt Hui knows that you are sensible, do you want to take care of each other with your sister?"

"Well, I know it," Yu Xiaoxiu nodded solemnly, "I'll take care of her." ”

Zhao Hui patted him with satisfaction, Pei Jing watched her finish speaking, and then said to Yu Shu: "The person who led the way of this caravan is Boss Bi Qingbi, he is the brother of another deputy manager of our Taiheng Commercial Bank in Yiyang City, there are twenty people in the escort team, the captain Qiu Biao was originally the master of the Tongyuan Dart Bureau, and he is very skilled, because he is transporting commercial goods, it is inevitable to encounter thieves and bandits on the road, don't be afraid, follow the convoy, don't run around, I have said hello to both of them, if you are in trouble, you will go directly to them and say, don't be embarrassed to speak." ”

In ancient times, there were few official roads, many suburbs, reckless, long-distance was very risky, if there was no force on the road alone, out of the city would not be robbed for less than three miles, and if it was not good to meet the wicked and lose his life, so when traveling far away, in order to arrive safely, the rich people would either bring their own guards or ask for a dart board, and those who had no money would find a caravan to take a ride, and it would be safe to go together.

Yu Shu wrote down Pei Jing's words and said to him: "Mr. Pei, my mother is still in the Ji family, please help me keep an eye on it, one day she is kicked out, help her secretly, let her have a place to settle, and when I settle down in the capital, I will send you a letter." ”

"No problem, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

The caravan assembled in the west of the city early in the morning, and when Yu Shu and them arrived, the two stewards were counting the goods at the end of the day, Pei Jing got off the carriage first to find someone, Zhao Hui hugged Yu Shu, and was reluctant to let go:

"You must be careful on the road, and you must be safe."

"Well, you also have to have a good life, live a good life with He Langzhong, pay more attention to your body, and find Mr. Pei when you encounter difficulties," Yu Shu buried his head in her shoulder, hugged her hard, then pushed her away, picked up two burdens, and pulled Yu Xiaoxiu to jump out of the car.

"Ah Shu!"

Pei Jing shouted to her not far away, and there was a man in a long shirt standing beside her, in his early thirties, thin and tall, with a little hunched back.

Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu and ran over.

"Bi Qing, these are Xingqi's two nephews, I also look at them like nephews, it's not that they have to go to the capital to find their grandmother, Xingqi won't agree to let them go, it's not that they are reluctant to send it today, you can help me take good care of it."

"You can rest assured, I promise to send them to the capital safely," Bi Qing smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Yu Xiaoxiu, who was close to him, and said: "It's good to go out early to see while you're young, I'm two years younger than your Uncle Xing, depending on whether you call me Uncle Bi or Uncle Qing." ”

"Uncle Bi." Yu Shu picked one first, and Yu Xiaoxiu immediately shouted, the two of them are generally well-behaved, and few people don't like it.

Bi Qingha smiled and said to Pei Jing: "Such a good-looking child, no wonder Xingqi is reluctant to let go, I have to protect my head at home if I change it, okay, you two go to the car first, do you see, it's the one in front, the roof of the car is painted red." ”

"Hmm."

Yu Shu turned around and waved his hand at Pei Jing, thanks were self-evident, Pei Jing nodded, and watched them climb into the carriage in front of them with big bags and small bags, before turning his head and talking to Bi Qing in a low voice:

"Are you sure you didn't have any personal belongings in this trip?"

Bi Qing smiled bitterly: "You have asked me for the third time, if I am caught in the smuggling, can I dare to lead the team in person, I must have sent someone else to take risks." ”

"It's okay if you don't have it, be careful on the road, I'll go back, and when you come back from the capital, Xingqi and I will invite you to drink."

"Good!"

Pei Jing took Bi Qing's shoulder, glanced at the carriage that Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu were sitting in, and turned to leave.

**

Caravans travel, not so squeamish, mostly horse-drawn carriages without carriages, goods are all placed on board carts and pulled by horses, escorts on horseback, merchants either ride horses, or sit on empty carts.

However, Bi Qing's caravan had two carriages, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu climbed into the car, only to find that there were already people in the car, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, who looked quite handsome, wearing a placket of lily brocade shirts, a scarf wrapped around his head, a pointed chin, and a pair of big eyes, looking at the two new passengers with displeasure:

"Who are you and why are you getting in the car?"

Yu Shu looked this person up and down, there was a little clarity in his eyes, put down the burden, and pulled Yu Xiaoxiu, who had the old man's face, to sit on the side, before he spoke:

"The two of us are brothers, my name is Ah Shu, this is my younger brother Xiao Xiu, it was Uncle Bi who let us take this car, what about you?"

"Uncle Bi?" The young man made a straight face: "Why did he tell you to take my car and get down?" ”

Yu Shuhu said suspiciously: "Your car? ”

"Hmph, of course it's my car, I paid them to deliver it to me, this is my car," the young man said, holding his arms.

Yu Shu immediately laughed, this was because she was afraid that she would be bored on the road, so she deliberately gave her fun, look at this beautiful appearance, the voice is brittle, there is a pink fragrance on her body, and she knows that she is a little girl, and she is a "fake" boy like her.

"That's right, we're also paying for a car." Yu Shu opened her mouth and was confused, Yu Xiaoxiu glanced at her obliquely, and she didn't know what she wanted to do.

"Huh? Do you too? ”

"Of course it is, otherwise how can I make a car with you, right?"

"Hmph." This "fake" kid obviously believed Yu Shu's words, and didn't push them down again, but he didn't welcome them, glared at them, and looked up at the roof of the car, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to them.

She wasn't interested in them, but Yu Shu was interested in her:

"Hey, you haven't told us what your name is."

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I just said it, my name is Ah Shu, my brother's name is Xiao Xiu, you have heard our names, there is no reason not to say yours." Yu Shu said confidently.

"I didn't let you say it, you wanted to tell it yourself."

"Okay, since you don't want to say it, and I don't know how to call you, just pick up any one," Yu Shu touched his chin and looked at her, clapped his hands and said, "I see that your eyes are big, so I'll call you big eyes." ”

"You're called Big Eye!"

"My name is Ah Shu," Yu Shu said aggrievedly, "Didn't I tell you just now, big eyes, why do you have such a bad memory." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head and laughed, the "fake" kid didn't know that Yu Shu was teasing her, and said in shame:

"Don't call me that, my name is Xia Ming, Ming-"

Her tongue was knotted, and Yu Shu listened to the accent, and nodded with a smile:

"It turned out to be Mingming."
