Chapter 35: On the Way (17)
The autumn days pass quickly, and it's time for nighttime trimming.
"The old immortal is still alive?" Feng Da glanced at Uncle Zhou who was lying on the ground.
Huang Shi stretched his neck and glanced at it: "The people of the Zhou family are so quiet, they must not be dead." "There is no mourning, there is definitely no incident.
From this day until the evening, Feng Da and his party did not make any trouble. After all, the soldiers' eyes were too bright and surprisingly bright.
Li Li couldn't sit still: "Boss, just let it go?" ”
Feng Da saw that the soldiers in the distance were constantly looking at them, and he was irritable: "The Zhou family is now making trouble in the past, and it is estimated that they will be blocked back by those soldiers." ”
Huang Shi ran over quickly: "Boss, when I was fetching water just now, I heard a soldier say that the Lan family sent some medicinal herbs. Didn't those soldiers help them because they wanted the medicinal herbs sent by the Lan family? ”
Feng Da's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "This damn Lan family is actually sending medicinal herbs to please the soldiers!" "Giving money may feed a soldier's appetite, but sending medicinal herbs can make people grateful, after all, who doesn't have a sick time? Especially in this wilderness, there is an extra medicinal herb, which is simply an extra life guarantee.
Huang Shi's eyes lit up: "What we heard in Fucheng before is true?" Then the Lan family has a lot of prescriptions! It is said that it also cooperates with the big medicine hall in the capital! ”
Li Li also came over and said in a low voice: "The recipe for making ice, it's useless for us to think about it, but there is a prescription, it's a million benefits!" ”
Huang Shi: "As long as the old man of the family dies in the carriage of the Lan family this week, we will have a chance to negotiate terms with them." ”
Feng Da squinted: "But the Lan family would rather give up the carriage than take care of the old man of the Zhou family." ”
"I don't believe that they will always be willing to give up the carriage." Li Li touched his chin and smiled, "Let's stop the last carriage and see what they do!" ”
The next day, after the Lan family's carriage left, Feng Da and the others drove the prisoners to follow quickly, and as long as they distanced themselves from the army, they let the Zhou family kneel directly in front of the last carriage.
At this time, the Lan family had no soldiers to help, so the coachman decisively abandoned the carriage and ran directly to the carriage in front.
When the soldiers behind followed, they found that Feng Da and the others actually had two carriages of the Lan family.
The carriage of the Lan family is very recognizable, in stark contrast to the ox cart rented by Feng Da and others.
The thick-eyebrow soldier was a little stunned, he looked at the thin soldier and said, "Mo Er, why did the Lan family give the carriage to those green skins again?" The officials wore green uniforms, so they privately called them "greenskins".
The thin soldier known as "Mo Er" looked at the moving carriage in front of him and spat out: "The Lan family doesn't look so easy to bully, guess what?" ”
The thick-eyebrow soldier touched his head: "It's the first time I, Luo Wu, have seen these powerful people being chased by the officials!" "Although the Lan family has been deprived of their titles, isn't there still an official?
Mo Er smiled: "Luo Wu, have you ever seen the Lan family repair the carriage?" ”
Luo Wu was stunned and looked at Mo Er stupidly.
Mo Er: "I used to be a dart walker, and I had a lot of dealings with carriages. I'll make a bet with you, the Lan family left the carriage, and it is estimated that those green skins can't afford it. ”
Luo Wu still didn't understand Mo Er's words, but there was one thing he understood: "You don't want the Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill I got last night, right?" That's not going to work, I can't bet anything with you. "Last night, Lin Zi of the Lan family sent a small package, with broken silver and pills, and he chose Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill. After all, this pill can be left for a long time, but it is a good thing that money can't buy. Besides, listening to Lin Zi's meaning, when they arrive in Youzhou, the Lan family will not treat them badly.
Mo Er glanced at him and continued to move his gaze to the carriage in front of him.
Lan Rongzhuan couldn't wait to get into Lu Yingfang's carriage, and shouted angrily: "Mother, why did you give another carriage to that servant?" ”
Soldiers are humiliated and cannot be killed! They were actually bullied by the little servants to this point, and gave up two carriages in a row.
If everyone knows that they are so easy to bully, wouldn't everyone be able to bully them when they get to Youzhou? Lan Rong was so angry that the fat on his face trembled, and his face turned red.
Lu Yingfang held her forehead, and she didn't want to publicize some things widely, so as not to make people talk too much. However, if he jumps up and down like this, he must have nothing to do with Sun's run. The Sun family is pregnant, and it's not good to think about the west all day long.
"Remember, just trust your mother." Lu Yingfang saw that he was angry, so she had to comfort, "No matter how down-and-out our Lan family is, we won't be bullied like this." If he returns the carriage to us in the future, we will still have a good reputation for helping the servant. If he doesn't pay it back, he can't afford the consequences. ”
Lan Rong was full of confidence when he saw his mother, and he was a little hesitant: "But if they don't pay it back, we can't do anything about them!" "The fourth official position is so small, and he is a servant of a different state capital, the fourth official can't move Feng Da and the others at all!
Youzhou doesn't have their in-laws, and no one will help them get ahead.
They don't have much money left, those carriages are bought at the car dealership, and when they arrive in Youzhou, they sell the carriages, and this silver is the foundation of their lives!
Lu Yingfang showed a motherly smile: "You guess, guess right, I'll give you ten taels of pocket money." ”
In the middle carriage of the Lan family's convoy, Aunt Bai pushed Yajie: "Did you hear what was said outside?" ”
Yajie frowned: "Is it the Zhou family who is here to entangle again?" ”
"Yes, the coachman outside said that we lost another carriage." Aunt Bai rolled her eyes and looked at Yajie, "Do you know why the old lady abandoned the carriage?" ”
"You know?" Yajie really couldn't figure out why her grandmother gave up the carriage, even if she didn't want the Zhou family to climb up, she wouldn't lose the carriage!
Aunt Bai sighed slowly: "How do I know! I have served her for so many years, and I know that she is a master who does not suffer losses, and I have never seen anyone take advantage of her. I think ah, if she doesn't go back to her ancestral house this time and wants to go to Youzhou, there must be some big reason, she just can't guess!
Uncle Zhou finally couldn't hold it anymore and went.
Only a few members of the Zhou family cried a few times, and then the silence was silenced. After all, crying also requires strength, and they are so tired that they can't walk.
The weather is getting drier and drier, and it is difficult to get water. The prisoners were already short of food and clothing, and they were half frozen to death in the autumn cold, not to mention hot water, they didn't even have water to drink, and they fell ill within two days! Now Fonda's wishful thinking failed.
Huang Shi said hatefully: "Boss, they are sick so many people, not to mention that they can't stop the Lan family." I'm afraid of dying too much, and we can't explain it! ”
Li Li sighed: "If this Lan family doesn't eat hard and soft, we will part ways the day after tomorrow, and if we don't do it, we won't have a chance." ”
They had to go to the Heyuan Prefecture Mansion to draw and hand over the documents before they could move on. The grain convoy continued to take the mountain road of the official road, and they had to take the official road on the other side of the village.
They were only a hundred miles away from Heyuanzhou. With those soldiers in the way, they can't let the Zhou family block the carriage.
Fonda squinted: "Do it tonight." ”
After Xing Guan made his rounds, he was ready to sleep. Suddenly he heard a commotion outside, and he immediately walked that way.
Under the torches, a large crowd gathered around something, and he pulled through the crowd and walked in.
A little lady in prison uniform was kneeling on the ground with her chest covered and crying, and a fat woman ...... The third master of the Lan family?
Feng Da's voice had already come: "How did your Lan family bully the little lady?" It's too much! ”
Lan Rong turned annoyed and pointed with his finger: "I said it all, she pounced on herself...... With such a posture, do you still need me to use a strong one? Lao Tzu's maids are all better than her. ”
Xing Guan saw that the eldest girl of the Lan family came out, and he quietly moved over there. The Lan family coachman craned his neck and watched, the mother-in-law next to the eldest girl of the Lan family was gone, this was his opportunity.
"Girl, don't go to the front, these people are unreasonable." Lan Yayu actually didn't come forward, the third brother was entangled by the wicked, and Aunt Cen hurriedly went to report the news.
The moment Lan Yayu saw Xing Guan, her mind was sized.
After not seeing Xing Guan for a long time, Lan Yayu found that Xing Guan under the torch was even more handsome.
The young man has tough facial features, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a tall figure. Closer, she could even see Xing Guan's Adam's apple......
Xing Guan saw that Lan Yayu looked at him silently, so he said in a low voice: "When I get to Youzhou, can I go and propose marriage?" ”
Lan Yayu's brain seemed to explode all of a sudden, he wanted to propose?
Xing Guan felt that something was not right, shouldn't the eldest girl of the Lan family be shocked and embarrassed at this time? Why do you look stunned?
As long as the Lan family is willing to check, there are many people in the grain team who know his details, and the Lan family will never let the eldest girl marry him.
Only the eldest girl of the Lan family is determined to marry him enough, and if she insists on marrying him, it will be natural for him to come to the door to propose marriage. That's what works.
"If you marry him, you will write a letter of dismemberment, and from now on, the Lan family has nothing to do with you." Mother's words suddenly echoed in her head, Lan Yayu was stunned, along the way, Xing Guan had the intention to get close to her, and intended to gain her favor, which made her heart full of holes a little energetic.
Even if the other party is sincere, if there is no Lan family, how much better can her life be?
"Sister." A little girl squeezed over and pushed Xing Guan aside.
"Yaqing." Lan Yayu was a little surprised when she saw Yaqing close to her for the first time.
Yaqing glared at Xing Guan and said, "Mother is looking for you!" ”
Xing Guan could see the hatred in the little girl's eyes, regardless of whether Old Madam Lan really wanted to find the eldest girl, but with this black girl here, the rare opportunity tonight was lost like this.
Yaqing almost dragged Yayu away, until Xing couldn't see it, and Yaqing suddenly let go of her hand. Yayu almost fell, and she said angrily, "What are you doing with a girl like this?" ”
Yaqing didn't speak, and her black and white eyes stared at Yayu like this.
Yayu had a ghost in her heart, and said blufffully: "What are you looking at? Such rudeness to the eldest sister is against you? ”
Yaqing snorted and left. If Aunt Ma hadn't asked her to come, she would have come rarely!
At this time, Lu Yingfang had already hurriedly walked past her and went to the place of trouble.
The reason why Aunt Cen didn't guard Yayu was that she saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went to find Lu Yingfang.
When Lu Yingfang arrived, Lan Rongzhuan was already angry and shouted, "You just want the benefits of the Lan family, so you framed me." ”
