A good night's sleep.......

The next morning, when the golden light broke out from the east and shone on the earth, Wen Shu opened his eyes refreshed,

After washing, she had a simple breakfast and then wandered to the south of the city.

Although the south of the city and the north of the city are far apart, Wen Shu's feet are not slow and he gets up early, and it is more than enough to arrive before the hour. Only one point, she didn't know the specific address of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Lu Xi didn't say it yesterday, and she forgot to ask, but she only remembered it early this morning.

Wen Shu was a little annoyed, and now she could only inquire about it when she went to the place, she thought while walking quickly to the south of the city.

At the beginning of the hour, the sun had risen in mid-air, the street was noisy, but the front of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in Xuandefang in the south of the city was deserted.

Looking at the closed gate of the Hou Mansion, Wen Shu felt a little drumming in her heart, I heard that the door of a big family was not opened easily, and she came to be a maid, so she stepped forward and knocked on the door for fear of being blasted out, after thinking about it, she turned around and went around the side door.

She didn't know which side door of the Hou Mansion would open, but generally large families entered the east side door, and the west side door entered things, so they went to the east as if they were lucky.

Fortunately, her luck was good, at this time the east door was open, and there were two young men standing outside the door, one left and one right.

Wen Shu looked at it for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the two little brothers, Lu Xi, is Lu Steward there?" ”

She didn't dare to say that she was looking for Lu Shaoqing directly, for fear of being beaten out, but it was Lu Xi, since Lu Shaoqing sent him to pass the word, he should be his cronies, so his status in the mansion must not be low, and it should not be wrong for her to say that she is in charge.

Sure enough, the two little girls didn't have any different colors behind them, but they just looked her up and down, and asked, "The little lady is surnamed Wen?" ”

Is this a greeting?

Wen Shuleng paused for a moment and nodded again and again.

One of them smiled and said: "The little lady is here, Steward Lu ordered it yesterday, the little lady will wait for a while, and I will go back." “

"There's Brother Lao." Wen Shu smiled and waited quietly outside, while secretly thinking about what he would say when he saw Lu Shaoqing.

But after a while, Lu Xi came out with the little guy who reported the news.

When he saw her, he smiled but did not welcome her in, but approached her and whispered: "The little lady will wait here for a while, I have asked people to arrange carriages and horses, and I will ask the little lady to go to the west courtyard of the city with me later." ”

Wen Shu was stunned and asked: "Why do you want to go to the Chengxi Courtyard, didn't you say that it was in the Hou Mansion?" ”

"The son rested in the courtyard last night, didn't the little lady say that she wanted to make a note, it's better to be in person." Seeing that she hesitated, she said: "If the little lady is not at ease, I can also give you the address, and you can go yourself." ”

"No need, I'll go with you." Wen Shu said without hesitation.

Just kidding, there is still a long way to go from the west of the city to the south of the city, and her legs have been sore since she left this morning, but she doesn't want to go again.

As for whether this Lu Xi is good or bad, she saw him come out of the Hou Mansion with her own eyes, proving that he is indeed a person from the Hou Mansion of Weiyuan, and if he can clearly say the IOU, then it should also be Lu Shaoqing's person.

Although Lu Shaoqing is not a good person, and she doesn't like it very much, she is also a dignified court official, so she will not want to assassinate her as a little woman.

"Wait a minute, the little lady will be here soon."

Before the words fell, someone had already led the carriage from the back courtyard wall, Lu Xi stepped forward and said a few words, then led the horse over and asked Wen Shu to get into the car.

Wen Shu glanced at the carriage and nodded, took a few steps forward, jumped on the wheel with his hand, lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one inside, so he sat in.

Lu Xigang, who followed closely, took off the stool from the wheel, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately put the stool back in place, sat on the wheel, and coughed: "We're leaving, Little Lady Wen is seated." With that, the flies shook and the horses trotted up.

Wen Shu sat in the carriage and looked around curiously, although she usually hired a car, she had never taken a carriage, generally mule carts and ox carts, horse-drawn carriages were only available to wealthy families, and ordinary wealthy families only had ox carts to travel.

All this is because the dynasty lacked a place to raise horses, and there were Shaanxi Road and Yandi on the border suitable for raising horses, but they were occupied by the Western Xia and Liao in the previous dynasty, and they have not been able to recover it so far.

The sixteen states of Yanyun, which have not been recovered for a long time, are not only the pain in the hearts of the successive officials, but also the pain in the hearts of the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty.

After feeling it for a while, Wen Shu felt that compared to the ox cart, the horse cart was indeed much faster, but at the same time, it was also bumpy than the ox cart, in fact, if you were not in a hurry, it was still comfortable to take the ox cart.

The carriage traveled for about a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped at the side gate of a small courtyard facing the lake.

"The little lady has arrived."

In the courtyard, Lu Yuancheng had just gotten up, and was about to have breakfast after a simple wash, when he heard a report from the porter that Lu Xi had brought a girl over.

"Let them in."

After a while, Lu Xi led Wen Shu in, bowed his head and reported: "Son, Little Lady Wen has arrived." ”

Lu Yuancheng took his eyes off the table full of food and glanced at the two people standing outside.

When he looked over, Wen Shu outside the flower hall suddenly froze, and his eyes showed a slight look of surprise, but today's Lu Shaoqing's dress score is very different from the past.

In the past, he always wore dark clothes and had a serious face, not smiling, as if everyone in the world owed him.

Today, he is dressed elegantly and casually, with a plain shirt covered with a white cardigan, and his hair is not combed meticulously as before, but half bundled and half scattered on his shoulders, and his facial expression is also a little softer, looking a little lazy.

"I've seen adults." Wen Shu bowed his head and blessed his body.

Lu Yuancheng took the deed paper that had been prepared on the table without raising his eyes, and said: "Lu Xi told you about it, you can take a look at this contract, and if there is no objection, sign it." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to take the deed paper and handed it to Wen Shu, while Lu Yuancheng turned his head and continued to eat his breakfast.

Wen Shu didn't dare to be sloppy about the deed paper, and after taking it, he took it seriously and looked at it seriously.

I saw that it was written: She is willing to be Miss Lu's personal treatment for half a month, accompany her to Cangzhou to visit relatives and fulfill the responsibility of protection, if the eldest girl returns safely and unscathed after half a month, the fifty yuan she owes Lu Shaoqing will be written off, and if the eldest girl misses on the road, she will compensate Lu Yuancheng one hundred times!

After reading the deed paper, Wen Shu's breath stagnated, what is the big girl's mistake, she will have to pay a hundred times!

Five or six hundred miles to Cangzhou, no one can say what danger will happen on the road, she is a weak woman, that is, she is slightly more powerful than ordinary people, what ability can she make this guarantee.

After thinking about it, she said directly: "This contract is unreasonable, I won't sign it." ”
