Chapter 170: The Great Carriage
Feng Xiaoxue also said: "Yes, husband, you are now an official master, and it is nothing to take a few concubines, you will accept it when you meet a suitable one." Our mother has been waiting for her grandson for a long time. ”
Of course, Feng Xiaoxue understands that her husband has already accepted two concubines anyway, so she hopes to give birth to a son as soon as possible, and if she doesn't give birth to a son for a day, this concubine will not be finished for a day.
Yang Qiuchi was just about to speak, but Yang Mu had already turned around and ordered, "Yuechan, come here." ”
As they spoke, the three maids, Yuechan, Fluttershy, and Xiangqing, stood by and waited. Yuechan had already listened to their words sincerely, her heart was flustered and sweet, and when she heard Mother Yang's call, she hurriedly stepped forward and gave a blessing: "Old lady." ”
Mother Yang took Yuechan's hand and asked, "You heard what we just said, right?" ”
Yuechan blushed and nodded.
Mother Yang said: "In the future, the young master will be handed over to you, you have to serve well, and you will be a member of my Yang family in the future, otherwise, I will not agree." Did you hear that? ”
Yuechan knelt down and kowtowed to Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue and said, "Yuechan thank you for the love of the old lady and grandmother, Yuechan will definitely serve the young master with all her heart, please rest assured that the old lady and grandmother." ”
Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue looked at each other and smiled, and nodded with satisfaction.
Mother Yang asked Yang Qiuchi: "Qiuchi, what do you think?" ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly: "You have all arranged it for me properly, what else can I say." ”
Speaking from the heart, with this beautiful and well-behaved little maid to serve, I can save myself a lot of worry, and I am still very happy in my heart.
After saying that, Yuechan hurriedly went to pack her things.
Mother Yang knew that Yang Qiuchi was going to travel far the next day, she had to go to bed early, and she had something to say to his mother, so she didn't delay and said goodbye and went back to the room to rest.
Feng Xiaoxue is very reluctant to leave her husband, but this is also a helpless way, she can only take care of one head, the so-called filial piety comes first, besides, there are so many businesses to take care of. I can only endure the pain and separation.
However, Feng Xiaoxue is very sensible, she knows that if she is sad and crying, she will make her husband worry and she can't go to work with peace of mind, so she pretends to be smiling and laughs with her husband.
Of course, Yang Qiuchi understands Feng Xiaoxue's thoughts, although her lady has a dark spot on her face, which affects her appearance, she is kind-hearted, empathetic, and a typical virtuous wife, so Yang Qiuchi cherishes her very much. The parting is imminent, and I am quite reluctant in my heart.
If only Qin Zhihui and the mud doll Song Qing hadn't been snatched away by the old pious woman, at least the turnover would have been opened. This damn old pious woman, you must find a way to catch her and save the two concubines.
That night, the two talked in their hearts, lingering warmly, until the rooster crowed three times, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next day, several carriages in the courtyard of the Yang Mansion were ready to stop. Since Feng Xiaoxue did not go to the post with him, Yang Qiuchi left four female guards to protect Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue in Ningguo Mansion, and let the female guard Xia Ping go to the post with him, so as to take care of and protect Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter.
Nangong Xiong rode with fifteen male guards, Yang Qiuchi held his beloved little black dog, and the two carrier pigeons, and Song Yun'er and the little maid Yuechan sat in a carriage, and the two masters sat in a carriage, and the carriage behind was loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and soft prepared for them by Yang Mu and Feng Xiaoxue, as well as a few carts of ordinary supplies. Another carriage was specially equipped with Yang Qiuchi's large aluminum alloy cabinet, which contained the treasures brought by Yang Qiuchi's crossing.
When you're ready, head out for Beijing.
Mother Yang, Feng Xiaoxue, Song Tongzhi, Han and Song Tongzhi's concubines, as well as Zhou Zhifu, Hou Xiaoqi and other Yang Qiuchi's relatives and friends, have been sent out of the city, so they are sorry to say goodbye.
There was nothing to say all the way, and on the third day, I rushed to the capital, which was still the old rule, and stayed in the thousands of households in Madu and Niu Dahai.
That night, Ma Du, Niu Dahai, Jia Hanlin, and Gu Fuyin set up a banquet for Yang Qiuchi to catch the wind.
Gu Fuyin said that Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter had been transferred to Yingtianfu Prison, and he had already made arrangements and could leave at any time. The letter to Kang Huai, the procurator of Yunnan, was also written and handed over to Yang Qiuchi at the moment. Yang Qiuchi was very happy and toasted Gu Fuyin a few glasses of wine to express his gratitude.
The next day, Yang Qiuchi took the guards to the official department to receive the "certificate", that is, the dispatch notice and pass, which was used on the road. As for the appointment, it had already been issued to Huguang through a special official post.
The officials of the Ministry of Officials began to put up some shelves, and Yang Qiuchi was too lazy to say, the red envelope opened the way, and the officials of the Ministry immediately changed their smiling faces, and they got the certificate smoothly. According to the rules, you must leave within 15 days after getting the license.
Yang Qiuchi returned to the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, Jia Hanlin and Gu Fuyin were already waiting there, and everyone counted their departures.
On the day of departure, Yang Qiuchi finally met Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei again. When the guards brought the two of them out, although they were both wearing shackles, they were a little more energetic than the last time.
It's just that Mrs. Bai is obviously much older than before, and Bai Sumei is wearing a nun hat and plain clothes, she is still so weak and delicate, she has lost a lot of weight, and her two eyes have become bigger and cooler. It's just that she doesn't have the sadness of Mrs. Bai, and the experience of becoming a monk has taught her how to regulate her state of mind, and it is also four times that she has escaped death and repeatedly tempered her spirit and will.
They are in good health, it seems that after Ma Du confessed, they got better treatment in Jinyiwei Prison, and after being transferred to Yingtianfu Prison, the guards were not as strict as Jinyiwei, and the treatment was better, and Gu Fuyin took special care of them, and their bodies and moods gradually improved.
Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei wanted to kowtow to Yang Qiuchi to thank them, but Yang Qiuchi stopped them and said, "I am specially escorting Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai to Yunnan, and I will go to Huguang to serve after settling down." ”
Ma Du introduced on the side: "Brother Yang has been appointed as the magistrate of Qingxi County, Yuanzhou, Huguang Town. ”
In ancient times, the exile was 3,000 miles, and it could be walked step by step, and it was necessary to carry a wooden flail weighing twenty or thirty pounds, and the water and fire sticks behind the official were waiting at any time, but they really had to shed their skin if they did not die, plus their mother and daughter, they were inevitably humiliated along the way.
Therefore, Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter thought that they were going to die on the road this time, but at this moment, they heard that Yang Qiuchi was going to send them to Yunnan in person, which was really a surprise, and they were all happy for him when they heard that Yang Qiuchi was the county commander.
Mrs. Bai said: "Young Master Yang, no, Lord Yang is really a young talent, but unfortunately, our master ...... at the beginning" Speaking of the past, she was sad and shed tears.
Bai Sumei hugged Mrs. Bai and bowed her head and was silent.
Song Yuner once carried Bai Sumei to escape the fire of the Yin family, and the two can be regarded as friends of life and death. Stepped forward to be relieved at the moment. Bai Sumei was a little surprised when she saw Song Yun'er, and when she heard that Song Yun'er was going to Yunnan together, she was even more surprised, and she was immediately relieved.
According to the rules, the exiles who went out of the city had to be paraded in flail, Gu Fuyin was exempted, and specially prepared a well-covered carriage for the two of them, and quietly told Yang Qiuchi that when he left the capital, the shackles could be taken.
The two officials in charge of escorting are also Gu Fuyin's cronies, and they have been specially explained, and they have been responsible for escorting exile prisoners to the southwest many times, and they are familiar with the road conditions along the way.
After saying goodbye to Ma Du and others, Yang Qiuchi and his party of twenty or thirty people set off towards Huguang.
Ma Du led ten Jinyi guards to ride a tall horse to open the way, followed by Yang Qiuchi's carriage, followed by Madame Bai and Bai Sumei's carriage, followed by the carriage of Master Jin and Master Long, followed by several carts of gold, silver and luggage. In the end, Xia Ping took the rest of the brocade guards and two officials to break off.
The Jianwen Yu Party was annihilated by Yang Qiuchi more than 100 people in Beishao Village last time, and suffered heavy losses, they can't afford such losses now, and it is estimated that Yang Qiuchi is likely to have taken precautions by now, and Yang Qiuchi's more than ten brocade guards are all good at one as ten, so it is estimated that the Jianwen Yu Party will not attack Yang Qiuchi head-on again, and they will not be able to organize a powerful force that can annihilate Yang Qiuchi for a while.
Therefore, Yang Qiuchi and the others estimated that they should not encounter an ambush from Jianwen Yu's party along the way, but after the lesson of the last time, Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping were both very cautious and guarded along the way.
In modern society, Yang Qiuchi still often travels on business, but he takes a car, a boat and a plane, but he has never taken a carriage to go far away, and it is a real long distance, three thousand miles.
Yang Qiuchi instructed not to hurry, but to go slowly.
After leaving the city, Yang Qiuchi ordered to stop repairing, and the two officials of the Tianfu sent the shackles of Madame Bai and Bai Sumei away, and then continued to move forward.
Coming out of the capital Yingtianfu, they took the official road, although the official road is not as good as the current highway, but there is a special road maintenance team to maintain, so it is still very smooth.
Yang Qiuchi, Song Yun'er and the little maid Yuechan sat in a big carriage, which was specially customized by Feng Xiaoxue, anyway, they all took the official road this way, so this special carriage was built like a modern RV, very spacious, soft and comfortable. Feng Xiaoxue also hired an experienced handlebar driver to be Yang Qiuchi's special car driver at a particularly high price.
Therefore, Yang Qiuchi's specially designed shock-absorbing surname can be a good Ming Dynasty luxury RV to walk on the smooth official road, but I don't feel how bumpy, it is still very comfortable.
