Chapter 62: Out of the City
Du Rangneng helped persuade Cui Shi to stop Du Baozhu's study class because Du Baozhu took the handle. However, since then, he has been busy with official work and rarely cares about his daughter's studies, which is really against his conscience.
Du Baozhu nodded firmly: "The allusion of 'teaching students according to their aptitude' is taught by Aya, but the truth is what I came up with." β
In order to bluff Du Rangneng and Cui's family, she threw all the pots to He Wannian: "I see that when the shopkeeper He disciplines the guys in the store, he will always arrange suitable work for them, and the guys can always do things well, so I feel that this is somewhat consistent with Confucius's words, so I have such an understanding." β
What she said was reasonable, and she gave the credit to the shopkeeper He, Du Rangneng and Cui's thought that the sensible girl depended on He Wannian's guidance, and they didn't feel strange, but they only felt that they were lucky when they picked people and got such a good talent.
The two were still sighing that Du Baozhu had already left Yunhui Hall and planned to find Du Guangyi.
Who knows, before she walked out of the door of Yunhui Hall, she was grabbed by an arm by a big hand: "Jiaojiao'er, what do you want me to do?" I promise you'll get it right! β
The person who has Ladu Baozhu has a pair of tiger eyes, and the more serious he is, the more he looks naΓ―ve, it is Du Baozhu's eldest brother, Du Guangyi.
He had already arrived at Yunhui Hall, and when he was about to enter the door, he happened to hear his father shaking his head and smiling bitterly and saying that he was not successful. He had heard a lot of such words over the years, and he had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't feel any pain.
But he didn't expect that the eldest sister would defend him, and he also educated Aya A-Niang in a serious way.
He knew that he was not successful, and he was afraid that his eldest sister would look down on him, so he couldn't help but please the only sister. Recently, the eldest sister's business has been doing well, and he is embarrassed to lean in front of the eldest sister, for fear of being disliked by the eldest sister.
At this time, when he heard Du Baozhu praise him for his good martial arts and ability to handle things, he was as enthusiastic as if he had eaten chicken blood, and vowed to do the best of what the eldest sister explained, so that the eldest sister would speak for him in vain!
"Big brother?" Du Guangyi came out suddenly, and Du Baozhu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
As soon as I saw his expression, I knew that he had heard the conversation just now. Therefore, there was a smile on his face: "This matter is extraordinary, I think about it, only the eldest brother can do it." β
Du Guangyi subconsciously straightened his back: "What's the matter?" β
"Big brother comes here with his ears......"
Du Baozhu stood on tiptoe and attached himself to Du Guangyi's ear, and said that he planned to pick some tea trees from Xin'an and transplant them to Kyoto......
If someone with a heart, such as Li Jie, listens to Du Baozhu's request, he will definitely question whether Du Baozhu wants to plant tea trees or what to do.
However, Du Guangyi didn't understand farming, and he believed in his eldest sister, so he didn't have any suspicions. After snapping his fingers and writing down the key points of the site selection that Du Baozhu said, he patted his chest and said: "This matter is on me, I will run all these mountains around Kyoto, and I will definitely pick the most suitable place for you!" β
Du Baozhu knew that Du Guangyi's biggest advantage was to keep his promise, and the decoration of the new tea shop was completed by him before, and there was no mistake at all during the acceptance. This time the matter of choosing the mountain was handed over to him, Du Baozhu was very relieved, and immediately grinned his white teeth: "I believe that the eldest brother will be able to do what he says!" β
With Du Baozhu's trust, Du Guangyi felt that his body was full of inexhaustible strength, and he took people to the mountains in the afternoon.
Du Baozhu also had to go to the official office to get the way to the city, so he was not able to travel until the next morning.
In June, the sky in Kyoto is completely clear. On the wide street, a few early risers walked slowly, a little sleepy and tired.
At the gate of Dufu in the north of Jinggongfang, there were already three green cloth carriages lined up at this time.
Around the carriage, seven or eight stout women with big shoulders and round waists were busy carrying the salutes, and four or five young maidservants helped the two ladies to sit on the carriage at the head of the row: "Madame, be careful. β
This is the first time that the Cui family has gone far away since marrying into the Du family, and they can't help but be a little nervous. As soon as he got into the car for a while, he called the maidservant over several times: "Did you bring the bedding?" "Did you bring the dishes, chopsticks, and tea set?" "Did you bring the medicine for headache and brain fever?"
Not only her, but also Du Rangneng, who came to see her off, opened the door seven or eight times after a while: "Jiaojiaoer, although these dart masters are used to running Xin'an, they can't listen to them all." You can pay attention to your mother, if there is anything wrong, run away! "This is the Meng Khan medicine bought by the medicine store, and you two will hide some in your handkerchief."
Popular in the Tang Dynasty, Du Rang can hear a lot of heroic stories, but he has never had the opportunity to try it himself. This time, Du Baozhu and Cui Shi went out, and he used all the experience he heard from the storyteller.
"Aya......" Du Baozhu was made to cry and laugh by these two people, and finally couldn't help but stop the two: "Don't worry, I know it all in my heart." I have already asked Wen Xi to count the things that should be brought, and they are all loaded in the carriage behind. β
Cui Shi is still a little worried: "I heard that there is a famine in the south, I don't know if it will be collided on the road, or let's bring a few more families." β
Du Baozhu also wanted to take a Song Wen out of the city, and he should have hoped that the more people there were, the better. But at this moment, she couldn't help shaking her head: "A-Niang, look outside, there are already more than 20 people." No matter how much we can't go, can't we go? β
If she travels alone, she can run back and forth in four days. Now with Cui's family, you can only take a carriage, which is slow enough, and if you have to add more people, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Xin'an in five days.
It's good to say that he appeased Cui's family, and Wen Xi also came back to report: "Little lady, the luggage is all loaded." β
"Let's go, then." As soon as Du Baozhu gave the order, the convoy officially started, and the three carriages moved slowly like the three bodies of a dragon, crushing the silence of the early morning.
When I arrived at the Chunming Gate, sure enough, there were seven or eight soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Shence Army sitting lazily at the door.
That's not the right number. Du Baozhu's eyes shrank, and he lowered the curtain as if nothing happened, but many thoughts flashed in his heart like lightning.
She had already reconnoitred, because she had not seen the assassins for a long time, and the Shence Army had already slackened, although they were still guarding the city gates according to Tian Lingzi's orders, but they were just arranging two or three people to forcibly collect tolls under the banner of searching. It is absolutely unreasonable for seven or eight Divine Strategies to appear at a time like today.
However, if you really get the news and make a special trip to wait for the rabbit, it seems that there are fewer seven or eight people......
The carriage was not moving slowly, and before Du Baozhu could sort out his thoughts, he had already arrived at the gate of the city, only to hear a cold voice outside the car: "Lieutenant Tian has an order, you must search when you go out of the city, please get out of the car!" β
Wen Xi and Cui's personal maidservants hurriedly helped their sons get out of the car, and Du Baozhu glanced behind without a trace. I saw that the slaves in the car behind had also gotten out of the car and were standing obediently aside, waiting for the Shence Army to search.
Song Wen is naturally among them, he is still wearing the aqua green dress of the first class maid of Du Fu, although he is a little taller, but after slightly lowering his head and making a shy appearance and lowering his figure, it is not too eye-catching.
As if sensing Du Baozhu's gaze, he also looked over, nodded calmly, and looked away.
He seemed to have a strange magic power, and just this glance made Du Baozhu feel a lot more at ease, and he finally had the time to observe those few divine forces.
The men seemed to be divided into two groups, one of which was led by a young man in his twenties, who was now looking for something from the hem of his clothes.
The other faction was much more lazy, standing softly, coldly watching his partner search the crowd, and scolding: "I said Song San, what the hell are you looking for?" How many people have made a fortune today, what are you here to make trouble? β
The man named Song San was the young man who led the search, deaf to his partner's complaints, and his thin white fingers carefully touched the waist of each dart master.
When the women in the convoy saw this, they couldn't help blushing and turned their backs. Only Du Baozhu was still watching intently, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart: he was looking for Song Wen's scar!
When Song Wencai was injured, the wounds were all taken care of by Du Baozhu, so she remembered very clearly that the place where Song Wen's three fingers touched was where Song Wen was injured.
It's just that Song San and his party don't seem to know whether the scars are in front or behind, and they circled around each dart master, but they didn't gain anything.
"Third brother, are you looking for the wrong person?" After searching the men in the convoy, Song San's companion couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "The martial arts meeting was organized by this Du family, the assassins destroyed the martial arts meeting, how could they still help these assassins?" β
"......" Song San heard this, his cold eyes suddenly sharpened, and he turned his head to look at Du Baozhu.
Du Baozhu had already looked away, and turned his back slightly with Ah Niang to avoid suspicion. was looked at by Song San, she just didn't know, and turned her head to look at Wen Xi: "Go and ask all the military masters, is the search finished?" β
"Little lady Du." Song San walked slowly towards Du Baozhu and arched his hand: "Under Song Wentong." β
"It turned out to be Song Lang, who has admired the name for a long time." Du Baozhu's face was not shocked, and he politely returned the salute.
Cui, who was on the side, was afraid that his daughter would suffer a loss, so he mustered up the courage to take a step forward and half-blocked in front of Du Baozhu: "This military master, we still have to hurry, I don't know if you have finished searching, can you let you go?" β
Song Wentong didn't pay attention to Cui's, just stared at Du Baozhu: "On May 20, someone saw Du Xiaoniang passing by in Pingkangfang, can there be such a thing?" β
May 20 was the day of the Assassins. After Du Baozhu rescued Song Wen, he also made some arrangements, but the incident happened suddenly, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions, and it was not strange to be seen.
Du Baozhu nodded calmly: "This is indeed the case." β
"Pingkangfang is a well-known amorous field, what is the little lady going to do there? Why did you deliberately cover up your whereabouts after you went? β
"Lang Jun speaks so strangely." Du Baozhu pretended to be scared and secretly glanced at Cui's family, and when he saw Cui's dazed expression, he continued: "The slave is the daughter of a good family, how do you know that Pingkangfang is a place for the old man to spend his time?" If you don't notice it for a while, you get lost, and when you find out that something is wrong, of course you have to cover up the matter. β
Only then did Cui Shi understand: "Jiaojiaoer, why did you go to Pingkangfang?" It's ...... there."
Cui's is a famous lady, where is she embarrassed to say those words, she had to cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and pretended to glare at Du Baozhu angrily: "I'll clean you up when I go back!" β
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the personal maid Hongyin, who took out a small purse from his sleeve and sent it to Song Wentong without a trace.
