Chapter 65: Strange Man Meets on the Road
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the people of the Chu Mansion began to toss and load the things that the masters wanted to use into the carriage. There are a total of three carriages in the Chu Mansion, two of which sit for the master, one carrying goods and the mothers-in-law, and the stuff is called a full board.
Chu Mo woke up and had something to do, so he couldn't accompany him to worship the Buddha.
Mrs. Chu assumed her identity and sat in the first carriage. Accompanying her was the triumphant Aunt Zhao. The two of them each brought a maid, Guiru and Duoxi. Guiru knows some fist and foot kung fu, likes to have a pair of skillful hands, and can comb his hair and rub his shoulders.
The second carriage was simply overcrowded. Chu Yueli, Chu Xianglin, Chu Zhaoyue, Chu Man'er, the four young ladies all brought their own first-class girls, how could eight people be crammed into the small carriage?
For this reason, Chu Xianglin complained with a nose that was not a nose and a face that was not a face: "How can you sit so crowded?!" Everyone wants to worship the Buddha, and they don't see what kind of virtue they have, how can the Buddha be protected by everyone? As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Yueli.
Chu Yueli was too lazy to worry about Chu Xianglin, and said to Hongxiao: "You go back, I don't have to serve here." ”
Red Night curtsied, obediently got down, stepped aside, and waited for the carriage to leave.
Chu Xianglin muttered, "Some people have cheap lives, and it's okay if no one serves them, unlike me, but they can't be served without others." ”
Chu Man'er said: "Fourth sister, don't be yin and yang, can't you talk well?" ”
Chu Xianglin raised his voice and said, "Yo...... That's how I usually talk, and today it's your turn to teach me how to speak! ”
Chu Yueli simply closed her eyes and took a nap. A thorn like Chu Xianglin, if he is not beaten, he will not learn a lesson.
Chu Xianglin saw Chu Yueli close her eyes, thinking that she was scared, so she said to Chu Man'er: "Tsk...... You stand out for others, but when you look at others, you know that your arms can't twist your thighs, so you just shrink your shell. ”
Chu Man'er looked at Chu Yueli, then at Chu Xianglin, pouting and saying nothing.
Chu Zhaoyue said to her girl: "Xiaomu, you don't have to go with me." ”
Xiao Mu looked at Chu Zhaoyue uneasily.
Chu Zhaoyue nodded, and she stepped aside.
Chu Man'er cupped her cheeks and said, "Okay, since my sisters don't bring girls, I won't bring them either." Momoko, you go back. "Puffed out his cheeks, looking innocent, cute and helpless.
Chu Xianglin's maid Cuiliu looked at the carriage with a hesitant look on her face.
Chu Xianglin said: "You just sit outside." ”
Cuiliu responded and sighed slowly. To be honest, she really didn't want to squeeze in.
The coachman raised his whip and the carriage creaked forward.
Chu Zhaoyue closed her eyes and began to take a nap. In fact, his eyes moved occasionally, and he didn't fall asleep.
Chu Xianglin endured it for a while, but still didn't hold back, opened the window, and secretly looked out.
Chu Man'er also looked out through the gap, looking excited.
Chu Xianglin glanced at Chu Man'er, and Chu Man'er stuck out her tongue and grimaced at her. The two didn't fight anymore, but began to appreciate the scenery outside together. The chatter and the talk go on and on.
The carriage walked for about an hour and a half, passing by a market, which was particularly lively.
Chu Xianglin and Chu Man'er were very excited, and the sound of chirping became faster and faster, accompanied by exclamations from time to time.
Chu Zhaoyue couldn't bear it anymore, opened the curtain on the other side, and looked over.
Chu Yueli also opened her eyes and looked out. She wants to know what kind of money-making business can make her rich in an instant in this so-called banquet country, so that she can step on the gold, silver and jewelry to the peak of life! Ay...... When she thought of the wealth she had saved in modern times, she didn't have time to enjoy it, and she felt a burst of heartache.
Perhaps because this is the imperial capital, the items in the market are dazzling, and the cries of selling are one after another, and it is very lively.
It's just that this kind of excitement is like scratching the itch in the boots, which is always less interesting. After a little more looking, the itch became tasteless. Chu Yueli has no girlish heart and wants to make money, and these excitements are not as good as silver to please her. Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, the carriage stopped.
It turned out that Aunt Zhao had morning sickness, so she had to stop the carriage and buy a bag of sour dates to suppress the taste. In order to prevent these young ladies from getting out of the car and showing their heads, Mrs. Chu also specially instructed Gui Rulai to spread the word, and no one was allowed to get out of the car, otherwise they would be grounded when they went back.
The young ladies scratched their hearts like cats, but they didn't dare to disobey their mother's orders.
A carriage drove slowly past the carriage of the Chu Mansion. The carriage looked unremarkable, but the person driving the carriage was Xiao Yi in a straw hat. As for the people sitting in the carriage, naturally...... The mysterious man who owes Chu Yueli's daughter.
Xiao Yi looked at the six roads, and felt as if he had seen an acquaintance, but he just swept it by, and he was not sure who that person was.
At this time, a juggler led a person and slowly walked into Chu Yueli's line of sight.
The juggler wore a tattered cloak and a messy straw hat buttoned over his head. He pressed his straw hat very low, and his body was a little rickety, so that others could not see his eyes clearly, only his face was full of beard, dirty.
In his hand he was holding a chain the size of a little thumb, and on the other side of the chain, a man was locked. It is said that it is a man, but in fact...... More like a giant dog.
The man was unkempt and couldn't see clearly. His long hair, like a dirty braid that has never been washed from the editor to the eldest child, sticks together, hanging down on the back, shoulders, and face. His face was like a black grease coated, so dirty that he couldn't see what it was. There is a short, uneven black beard around the face. At first glance, it was furry, like the fur of a wild beast.
He does not stand and walk like a man, but crawls on all fours like a dog. His nails were black, but it could be seen that the nails were very thick, not quite like a normal person, but more like a feline.
The man was shirtless and wore only a pair of tattered shorts. His body looked very strong, as if it was full of power. Under his naked feet, there were layers of thick calluses, so that he walked on the stones without reacting.
The juggler stopped not far away, drew a leather whip from his waist, and flicked it in the air with a crisp snapping sound, attracting the attention of some people.
After he threw three whips in succession, he raised his voice to the people who came around: "You have all seen the world, you must have seen it if you played a monkey and swallowed fire." Today, Xiao Lao'er wants to show you a rare thing. ”
The crowd asked, "What are you seeing?" ”
The juggler waved his whip and said loudly: "Train the dog!" ”
The crowd booed him.
Someone said: "Dog training or a rarity?" Old man, you don't brag so much. ”
