Chapter 40: Almost Caught Up

Shen Sangyu didn't want to make extraneous branches.

Hearing that Gao Tingqin wanted to go back to the city with her, he hurriedly refused, "No need, my wife is a cheap bone, how can she be with you? ”

After saying that, he planned to leave quickly.

The soldier next to her stopped her and smiled honestly, "Old man, don't misunderstand our tall man, he is the most approachable, what a blessing to say that he can send it to him." ”

Shen Sangyu laughed dryly, wanting to sew the soldier's mouth shut.

Can't you let go of a poor old woman!

There were soldiers who stopped her, and Shen Sangyu, as an "old woman", couldn't go straight away, so she had to keep her head down to the ground to minimize her sense of existence.

Although she couldn't see it, she could feel Gao Tingqin's gaze lingering on her several times.

Shen Sangyu was very competitive and tried harder to pretend to be a quail.

When he was suffering, suddenly someone rode a horse from a distance, and came straight to Gao Tingqin's side, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anxiety, and he got off the horse and knelt on one knee, "Lord Gao, there is something important to report." ”

"Come closer. Gao Tingqin bowed.

The man leaned into Gao Tingqin's ear and whispered something.

Shen Sangyu couldn't hear it clearly, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Gao Tingqin's expression a little solemn, and her gaze came to her, so frightened that she hurried to be a quail again.

"I can't send you anymore," Gao Tingqin walked up to her and said softly.

Shen Sangyu couldn't ask for it!

Quickly nodded, "It's okay, it's okay, the adults are going to get busy, the old body will go back by himself, I am familiar with this mountain road, and I will be able to get home soon." ”

Gao Tingqin snorted and didn't say anything more.

Immediately, he turned over and got on the horse, the corners of his ink-colored clothes flew up, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes became more and more dazzling under the golden light, forcing people to look away.

The handsome and picturesque young man grabbed the reins with one hand and threw the sword in his hand at Shen Sangyu with the other.

Shen Sangyu subconsciously took it, and there was still a residual temperature on the hilt of the sword, just like the feeling that Gao Tingqin gave people, warm and comfortable.

"There are many snakes and insects in the mountains, keep it for self-defense, and if you are free in the future, you can return it to Prince Shuo's mansion. Gao Tingqin said.

"Thank you, sir. Shen Sangyu immediately thanked him.

I'm worried about having no tools to dig tea trees!

She watched Gao Tingqin and the others leave, and waved her arms happily, not like an old woman at all.

The soldier also whispered to Gao Tingqin, "My lord, you handed over your beloved saber to this old man so casually, what if she doesn't return it?"

"Will pay it back. Gao Tingqin said.

On the horse, the silhouette of the young man was cold and handsome, and the bronzed skin was warm under the golden light, like dark eyes, full of certainty.

If you look closely, you can see a little smile.

The soldier was so shocked that he quickly rubbed his eyes, lest he had seen it wrong.

Didn't you just lend a sword to the old man, what is there to be happy about?

......

The sword made of Xuantie sharpened iron like clay, and it was sharp beyond Shen Sangyu's imagination.

Therefore, when using it to dig tea trees, pay extra attention to it, so as not to cut off the roots of the tree and turn back to transplant it without life.

However, the tea trees in this mountain are rooted and extremely deep, and finally a large pit deep for one person was dug out, and the tea trees were finally dug out.

Shen Sangyu took out a handkerchief, carefully wiped the soil off the sword, picked up the tea tree, and walked to the foot of the mountain.

The groom was still waiting for her.

When he saw it from afar, he hurried to help.

"Didn't you say that you were looking for something, young lady, and what are you doing digging a tree?" asked the groom, puzzled.

Shen Sangyu patted the tea tree proudly, "Oh, that's it." ”

"It's this tree, it cost ten taels of silver to run so far, just for a tree, what is this picture?"

Shen Sangyu waved his hand casually, "I'm happy." ”

What a joy there is in this!

Shen Sangyu told him again, "You don't understand the happiness of rich people." ”

The groom was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He simply fell silent, carefully moved the tea tree into the carriage, and drove the horse back.

Shen Sangyu noticed that when the groom went back, he chose not the official road, but the path at the foot of the mountain.

"What are you doing on the detour?" she asked, puzzled.

Ma Fu explained, "Just now I met a few officials who came out of Longhu Mountain and warned me to take the trail, and there are people on the official road who seem to be passing by, in short, I can't go." ”

Afraid that Shen Sangyu would misunderstand, he added, "Don't worry, Miss, we are a one-price deal, and it takes me time to take the trail, so why bother like this? ”

Shen Sangyu pursed his lips slightly, and subconsciously clenched the saber in his hand.

If the groom is tricky, with her skills, it is enough to knock him down.

"Let's go. She said softly.

The trail is not smoother than the official road, and bumps are a common thing.

Shen Sangyu was not afraid of bumps, but he felt sorry for the tea tree in the car, worried that the violent bumps would break the roots of the tree, which could only make the groom slow down and slow.

After some tossing, when I arrived in front of the city gate, it was already dark.

The time of lockdown is just around the corner!

"Mademoiselle sat down, and I had to rush a few steps to see that the gates were about to close. Mafu said.

Without waiting for Shen Sangyu to answer, he had already raised his whip, and the horse began to gallop wildly when it was in pain, and the carriage curtain was rolled into the carriage, and there was a hunting sound at the hanging corners.

Hurry, and by the time the carriage rushed to the gate, the gate was mostly closed.

"Official, official, it's convenient, we have to go into the city. The groom said with a smile.

The soldiers defending the city were full of impatience, "Why did you go earlier, didn't you see that the door was closed most of the time, and you have to push it open for you alone, it's not hard enough, get out, come back tomorrow." ”

The gate of the capital weighs 3,000 catties, and it takes more than 20 people to open and close it together, which is convenient for individual small people in the market, and it is really not worth it.

"Just drive a little bigger, my carriage is small, and I don't need much of a gap. The groom continued.

The soldier still refused, "No, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, see it, there is a post station over there, stay overnight and pull it down." ”

The groom really couldn't persuade him, so he had to turn his head and find Shen Sangyu.

"Miss, why don't you stuff some silver? Mafu said.

Otherwise, we will have to enter the city again tomorrow.

Shen Sangyu must return to the Bohou Mansion, otherwise the Wei family will seize the handle of not returning all night, and he may not know how to arrange her.

It's nothing more than giving some silver.

When she started the tea business in the future, she didn't have to worry about this little money.

Shen Sangyu thought about it, so he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his money bag and slowly got out of the carriage.

"Official, please make it convenient, this little money, I will invite the official to drink tea. Shen Sangyu said.

The soldier looked down at the silver ticket and immediately smiled.

Just as he was about to wave his hand for people to let him go, he saw the city gate slowly being pushed open from the inside.

Walk out of a carved nanmu carriage decorated with hexagonal golden bells, and there is a flag on the top of the carriage, and the ink flag is embroidered with large gold threads.

The soldier immediately didn't care about Shen Sangyu, like a pug, wagging his tail and going to the carriage.
