Chapter 265: Entering Beijing by Water (2)
But the capital is so complicated, she can't rely on her alone, she has to rely on the power and connections of the Qiao family, so she brought so many gifts to Beijing. It is necessary to choose a good marriage for your daughter.
Everything is ready, and finally it is time to set off.
The Ye family chartered a passenger ship. The passenger ship is a medium-sized ship, and although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, it is luxuriously decorated on the inside, and it is very clean and tidy inside and out.
The last time Ye Rong followed her mother to the capital, she took a dry road, so this time she took a boat and took the waterway, she was very excited, because she had never done this kind of big passenger boat.
Not only that, but most of the slaves and maids who followed out were going out for the first time to take such a luxurious ship, so they naturally felt strange. The master and servant were all huddled on the deck, looking up at the clouds, at the birds at the other, and screaming at the receding river, chirping and laughing.
Chunxi was naturally very excited and held her sister's hand. "Sister, let's go to the deck over there to watch the boat."
"Tsk, what's so strange about the ship? You go and see for yourself, I won't go, I'll go into the cabin and sleep again. β
Ye Mengmeng stretched and yawned, honestly, she got up early in the morning, and she hadn't woken up from her sleepiness yet.
"Okay, sister, the slave will come and take a look, and I'll come to you later." Haruki flew away like a bird. After all, it's still a teenage girl, and there's no one who isn't playful.
Ye Mengmeng shook her head with a smile, and when she just turned to the left side of the boat, several people came in front of her, it was Ye Rong and the girls.
Ye Rong was dressed very beautifully: a red mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with a moon satin embroidered magnolia flying butterfly shirt, lined with pale pink brocade wrapping chest, the cuffs embroidered with delicate gold-patterned butterflies, a few lace lace hooked out of the chest placket, and a thin layer of silk yarn like a clear mist on the skirt. With luxurious makeup and exquisite makeup, Ye Rong's whole person looks particularly beautiful.
Compared with her, Ye Mengmeng is simply a country girl, and even the girls around Ye Rong are better dressed than her.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Rong saw Ye Mengmeng walking over, her eyes hung slantedly, and she glanced at her with disdain, not looking at her at all.
Originally, she didn't intend to pay attention to her, but when the two of them were at a wrong turn, she suddenly saw that the woman seemed to be wearing something on her wrist.
She paused, turned her head and looked, her eyes lit up, and the woman was wearing a pair of red jade bracelets on her wrist!
Her mind turned, and she immediately shouted, "Stand!"
Ye Mengmeng paused, didn't plan to ignore her, and continued to walk.
"Hey, slut!" Ye Rong was furious, and ran to her in front of her in a few steps to stop her, with her hands on her waist. "You're deaf and don't hear me calling you?"
Ye Mengmeng stopped her steps and raised her eyes to look at her.
Ye Rong raised her toes, pointed to her wrist, and said, "Hey, take off the bracelet on your hand and take a look."
"Bracelets?" Ye Mengmeng looked at her wrist, the red jade bracelet was crystal clear in the sun, glowing with ruddy light, extremely attractive. She shrugged, her gaze defiant. "This is my bracelet, why do I want to show it to you?"
"What? Don't give? Ye Rong's face immediately became so ugly, and she turned her head to the big girl next to her.
Caiying immediately understood, she rolled up her sleeves, took a step forward, grabbed Ye Mengmeng's hand, and robbed her.
"Ah, it's a robbery, help-" Ye Mengmeng let out a few sharp swords
Soon, a few people came running from the other side of the deck, but they didn't come forward to help, they just stood there and watched the commotion.
Ye Rong sneered: "Slut, if you shout out, no one will save you......"
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "bang", and then there was an exclamation, and someone broke through the railing and fell into the water, and everyone was startled. They thought it was Ye Mengmeng who fell into the water, but after a closer look, Ye Mengmeng was standing with a good gamble, but it was Caiying who fell into the water.
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know how the warbler fell. Ye Rong was also dumbfounded.
Ye Mengmeng clapped her hands and laughed: "You deserve it, you deserve it, haha!"
Colorful warblers fluttered and screamed in the river.
"Help, save ......"
The others rushed to hear the cry for help. Mrs. Qiao also hurried over, surrounded by a group of grandmothers.
Several crew members moved quickly, took out long bamboo poles and pulled the colorful warblers up.
Ye Mengmeng had already slipped away and hid in the bow of the boat to watch the excitement.
The warbler was covered in water and shivered. In early autumn, the weather has already turned cooler, and the cold water is still very cold.
"What the hell is going on? How can a good person fall into the water? Mrs. Qiao said with a straight face.
The maids present glanced at each other, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Mother, it's herβ"
Ye Rong just wanted to speak, but Caiying stammered: "Go back...... Mrs. Hui, yes...... It's the slave who doesn't want to lose her heart...... Falling ......"
Nan Chu's hierarchy is very strict, no matter how stupid and bad the original body is, she is also a sister, and the maids chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, and even bully her, but they don't dare in front of the main mother. So Caiying had to fall by herself, and she never dared to mention robbing the eldest sister's bracelet.
"Don't want to fall?" Mrs. Qiao looked at the side of the ship suspiciously, and snorted coldly: "Why are you so disheartened? Pay attention in the future, it's okay, what are so many people crammed into the side of the boat? Let's all go back to the cabin! β
"Yes!" The slaves and maids who watched the bustle all retreated.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at her daughter, and did not say anything more, but turned around and walked away with the grandmothers.
As soon as her mother left, Ye Rong clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, this slut, she must have pushed Caiying down the river." Let's go, go over and take a look, and see where this slut got the courage and guts to do it against Sister Ben? β
Qiu Tong, the personal girl, said beside her: "Sister, the slave and maid look at the girl's bracelets, most of them are stolen."
"How?"
"Sister, that bracelet is worth a lot of money at first glance, that stupid woman doesn't even have a decent shirt, where did she get such a valuable bracelet? What is not stolen? β
Ye Rong nodded again and again when she heard this, and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
The master and servant searched along the side of the ship, and finally found Ye Mengmeng on the deck.
Ye Rong glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one on the entire deck except for the woman, and even Chunxi didn't know where to go. She was overjoyed, rolled her eyes, walked over slowly, changed into a fake smile, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, are you here alone?"
Ye Mengmeng glanced back at her, ignored her, and turned her head.
Ye Rong probed over, but saw her take off the red jade bracelet and play with it in the palm of her hand. The red jade bracelet shines even brighter in the sunlight.
Ye Rong's heart was itchy and couldn't scratch, and she really wanted to grab it, but she held back. Because she knew that if she robbed hard, there would be trouble, and her mother should count her down again.
