Chapter Seventy-Eight: Pingshui Meets
The man on horseback cracked his mouth and smiled, and his eyebrows showed a little joy, and he stopped the horse. He turned back, reached out and pulled the man who was standing on the ground to the horse, and sat down in front of him, with his hands around her.
"Strongman...... Take your hands off the way, I can ride a horse myself!" "Where did Su Mi ride a horse, but he felt that he had already married Zhao Laosan, and other men should not be so close no matter what the circumstances.
"Really?" When the man around her heard her, he let go of his arm by her.
Although Su Mi had never ridden a horse, when she was in the capital before, she often saw those eunuchs riding horses, and she tried to hold the rope with two hands and shouted: "Drive!" ”
But where did the horse listen to her, not only did not go, but raised his front feet and got up. Su Mi was stubborn, and a pair of small hands tightly grasped the leash: "Drive!" Drive...... Horses, you have to move on! ”
Not only did the horse not listen, but shook its head and almost threw Su Mi off the horse. The man behind him sat steadily, seeing her stupid appearance, the corners of his lips hooked, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her body, and reached out to hold the rope: "Drive!" ”
The horse really still recognized the owner, and the man galloped towards Pinghe County in an orderly manner as soon as he gave the order. On the way, Su Mi was not so restrained, she sat on the back of the horse honestly, and the man behind her did not overstep it, and gently surrounded her with a pair of hands.
It's just that Su Mi, who was sitting in front of him, didn't know that his hat was blown up by the wind, revealing half of his white cheeks from time to time, and the eyes of the man behind him were full of surprise.
Riding a horse all the way, he soon arrived outside Pinghe County, and got off the horse at an inn, Su Mi hurriedly wanted to leave, but the man grabbed her slender arm: "Girl, do you want to leave like this?" ”
Su Mi is only worried about his man, it is still early now, if he goes to the city now, if it goes well, he can still see a man at the official office.
"Zhuangman, I still have the most important things, thank you today, I gave the tea money and the money for the horses to add grain and grass!" Su Mi shook his hand, took out some broken silver from the purse around his waist, and handed it to the man.
The man twisted his eyebrows, took the broken silver, and looked down at it, "Do you know who I am?" I don't need to reward anyone with this bit of broken silver! ”
"I know that strong men look down on me, but I only want to see my man, this broken silver is already the most valuable thing in our family!" Rao is weather is too hot, Su Mi's full forehead is oozing with fine beads of sweat, and a pair of apricot eyes are bloodshot, which makes people can't help but feel pity.
"Your man is at the county magistrate's office?"
"How does the strong man know?"
"If you are nervous like this, if you don't go to the official office, is it a funeral?" The man whispered quietly, and the little two at the inn came to lead the horse away. Without saying a word, he led the horse to the first-class horse grass and tied the horse.
"It's so unlucky to speak, my man is locked up in the official office, but it's not his fault!" Although she was grateful, Su Mi didn't want to entangle with him anymore.
The man pinched the broken silver that Su Mi gave him in his hand, and a man paced out of his side, bending slightly: "Childe, who is this woman, but she is very beautiful?" ”
"This woman is different from the people in the palace, you go over and see, if she needs anything, just help!"
"The fourth prince is just a rural village woman......"
"If you are told to go, where is there so much nonsense!"
"Why did the four princes come to Pinghe County, didn't they go to Pingjia Village to check if there was an invincible country?" This guard was also puzzled, how could he run to Pinghe County, dozens of miles away.
"I said for this woman, do you believe it?"
The entourage looked at the four princes' eyes flickering, some believing and some hesitating: "The little one doesn't dare to speculate!" ”
Su Mi was not familiar with the people of this peaceful county, this market was bustling and crowded, Rao was next to the neighboring country on the border, and people in different costumes could be seen everywhere.
She couldn't care so much, and her mind was all about going to the official office to find her man. I finally squeezed through the bazaar, and I still didn't know where to go from the official office!
casually pulled an aunt and asked, but this aunt looked enthusiastic and led the way for Su Mi. But bypassing the bazaar, Su Mi felt more and more deserted.
"Auntie, shouldn't this official office be in the east of the city? Why is it getting more and more remote? Su Mi pursed her lips and reached out to lift her hat.
The aunt's eyes were stunned, and she poked with both hands: "The girl looks like a foreigner, but she looks quite handsome!" ”
After following the aunt for a long time, he went around to another alley. The alley was damp and full of beggars begging for food.
Su Mi finally sensed that something was wrong, turned around and ran out of the alley. This aunt's legs and feet are also sharp, and she reached out and grabbed her: "If you want to run, if you fall into the hands of my mother-in-law, you have to lose your skin if you don't die!" ”
"What are you doing with me?"
"You have seen a man at a glance, but this face can still clean up a few men and sell them to Zuixianglou, maybe the old bustard won't want it!" Mrs. Wang is looking for girls in the market, especially girls from other places.
"What?" When Su Mi heard this, it turned out that this princess wanted to sell herself to a place like Zuixianglou, but she had become a good citizen, if she was sold into that kind of place, how could she be worthy of Zhao Laosan and the ancestors of the Zhao family in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Mi struggled desperately, but this princess used to farm the land, as strong as an ox, and she grabbed Su Mi's waist with both hands, as easily as holding a cat.
Su Mi cried and shouted, but the beggars in the deep alley were either sleeping on the ground or kneeling and begging, and they didn't have time to pay attention to her. Rao was caught too hard by Mrs. Wang, there was a cramp pain in his waist, he was afraid and anxious, and he hooked his neck with both hands and bit it with his mouth.
But Su Mi's body is really small, and Mrs. Wang's skin is rough and thick, and she was bitten so hard that she was even more ruthless, and she reached out and took a piece of wood and patted Su Mi's head fiercely.
only felt that his eyes were dizzy, and Su Mi fainted.
When I woke up, it was quiet. Su Mi slowly opened her eyes and lay on the bed, with many peony flowers embroidered on the white mosquito net. Although it is elegant, it is difficult to hide its style.
"Where is this?" Su Mi got out of bed, the door opened, and a strange man walked in.
Su Mi was stunned, pulled out the hairpin on his head, and pressed it against the man who came in. This person is not a bystander, it is the retinue of the Four Princes. Seeing her like this, I was a little impatient. I don't understand why the fourth prince, who has always been high, would make a mistake for this woman.
"Girl, you don't have to die like this, I'm here to help you!"
"Help me?" When Su Mi heard this, he was relieved to see that the man had not overstepped. Putting down the hairpin in hand, a pair of apricot eyes were full of tiredness, and the delicate and small cheeks were a little pale.
"Don't be so surprised, it's the boy who rode your horse and carried you on horseback!"
Su Mi was even more surprised, there was only one side, why did she help her: "I don't know that son?" Why should he help me? ”
"It is estimated that it is a one-sided relationship, I think the girl is difficult!" After the man finished speaking, he turned around, and his eyes were full of Su Mi's white cheeks and clear eyes. Such a face is indeed a lot more outstanding than those rouge gouaches in the palace.
"But I'm going to the official office!"
"My son-in-law has already taken care of it, and the person you want will be released in the evening!" The man's thin lips opened slightly, and he brushed his sleeves away after finishing speaking.
Su Mi looked at his slightly thin back, although he was puzzled, he was also a little serious. Holding his own package, he went out of the door and went out to the official office.
This official office is heavily guarded, Su Mi can see that his legs are a little weak, he has only heard that Mr. Storyteller has said that this official office is a place where people eat people and do not spit out bones, but this time I saw it with my own eyes, and I only felt like the palace of Hades.
Raise your eyes, the sun is about to set. If Zhao Laosan can really be released, it will be in the evening. There are rules in this official office, and when the living people come out, it is usually in the evening, which means that they can see the sun tomorrow. If you cut off your head, it's morning or noon.
Lingering at the door, and waiting for another half hour, the official guard began to change shifts. Su Mi clenched his hands into fists, and his chive-like nails pinched the flesh of his palms, and the pain was tight. I haven't dripped for a day, my face is pale, and my peach lips, which were originally pink, are now dry and pale now.
"Big brother, is anyone going to release it today?" Su Mi couldn't wait any longer, paced forward, stretched out his hand and pulled the arm of a servant and asked.
Seeing that it was a woman, the official only said coldly: "I haven't heard that anyone is going to release it today!" ”
When Su Mi heard this, his body was stunned, his brain shook, and he almost fainted to the ground. Fortunately, he stretched out his hand to support the stone lion behind him, could it be that he was in the inn just now, and what the man said was false?
Thinking of this, Su Mi's eyes burst into tears, and the tears fell uncontrollably, she should have understood that she should not pin her hopes on a strange man. She didn't know what the person's name was, and she didn't know which family's son-in-law it was, so she was counting on saving her man, isn't this a fool's dream?
The densely curled eyelashes were stained with crystal clear tears, and her heart was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, if the man couldn't get out, it would be useless for her to break in, it was better to die headfirst at the door of this official office and go with the man.
Closing his eyes, two lines of tears crossed his face, and he was about to crash into the stone statue, but he heard a sentence behind him: "Lady! ”
The voice was familiar and a little trance-like, as if many years had passed, Su Mi thought he had heard it wrong, but turned his head to see Zhao Laosan's gloomy and tired cheeks.
"Lady! Why are you here? ”
"Husband!" Su Mi couldn't hold back any longer, and ran wildly towards his man, throwing himself into his arms and crying. On this day and night, she didn't know how she came here, only thinking that if the man was gone, her life would be gone.
