Chapter 119: Pretending
After Liu Rumei finished taking care of the housework, she returned to Rongxuan Pavilion and heard from the housekeeper that Gan Peilin had left the house.
"Mother is sick for such a serious matter, why don't you go to the account office to inform me?" Liu Rumei was a little unhappy. "Peilin himself is still sick. How can she be allowed to pick up her mother back? What if half of the road falls ill? ”
The housekeeper didn't say it clearly, but said, "It's the old lady who sent a letter back and specified that the eldest lady should go." Maybe it's because the eldest lady knows how to mix spices and is good at massage, which can help the old lady relieve her pain. ”
"Yes." Liu Rumei bowed slightly: "Pei Lin is indeed careful, and well-behaved. Now that we've gone, let's do it first. You tell someone to follow me more, and if anything happens, let me know in time. ”
"Yes. Auntie. As soon as the housekeeper responded, he heard a rumor from outside that the second lady was coming.
"Let her in. You go about your business first. Liu Rumei's eyes flowed with a little disdain, she knew why Gan Jilu came. It's just that the account office has less money for her, not enough for her to buy a dowry.
I don't know where Peilin is at this time. I always felt that she was in a bit of a hurry to leave the house this time.
Gan Peilin and Liulan went out of the city in the carriage of Ganfu. Chen Rui and more than a dozen people he trusted accompanied the car.
After leaving the city, he went directly to the nunnery that the butler said.
Along the way, it is common to walk through the woods and climb the peaks. After all, the nunnery was built on the top of the mountain, and the location was still a bit off.
"Carriages can't go up mountain roads, and even horses can't ride on them. So wait a minute, Miss has to walk a little bit. The slave brought you these shoes for walking. Rulan smiled and patted the burden.
Gan Peilin immediately understood what she meant, nodded and said, "Very good." ”
"And besides, miss, it's too hot. Brittle Core specially instructed the slave maid to bring you a light veil to cover your face. So as not to burn your skin from the scorching sun at the top of the mountain. Rulan said thoughtfully.
"You're still thoughtful. I was so preoccupied with my grandmother's illness that I couldn't care about anything else. Gan Peilin sighed: "A few days ago, because of Gan Puyang's affairs, my grandmother has been in poor health. It's really worrying to be like this again. ”
"Miss, don't worry, the old lady Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will be fine." Liulan lifted the curtain and glanced out, and said, "Look, you will reach the mountain after passing through the forest in front of you." After all, it's not far away. ”
"That's fine." Gan Peilin nodded: "It's almost noon, wait for the summer in the forest and have some meals." It also saves everyone's hard work. ”
"Yes." Liulan put down the curtain of the car, and then cautiously signaled to Gan Peilin.
Sure enough, someone followed them all the way to the nunnery.
It can't be said that it is following, to be exact, it should be the road that waited for them to go up the mountain early in the morning. It shows that Gan Peilin's guess is not bad at all. "As planned."
While refuting the heat in the woods, Gan Peilin distributed the pre-prepared food to everyone.
The people who served in the Star Picking Building had always known that this daughter had no shelf, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. I also happily ate the food distributed by the eldest lady.
Originally, it was peaceful at this time, but Liulan still felt that something was wrong. When handing the water bladder to Chen Rui, she deliberately asked: "Are they all your people who brought them out?" Something is not quite right. ”
She glanced over one of the guards.
The man took the food, ate as he went, and went to the place where he carried the man.
"It should be fine." Chen Rui was not suspicious. "Maybe it's an upset stomach."
Liulan didn't listen to him, his steps were brisk, and he followed quietly. And behold, the man released a bird from his bosom.
Her eyes were pointy, the bird was small and ordinary, and there was nothing special tied to her feet. But under normal circumstances, who would carry a bird on their body and release it at this time?
Turning his head, Liulan told Gan Peilin and Chen Rui what he had seen.
Gan Peilin smiled slightly: "Just when you don't see anything, don't make a noise." ”
"Yes." Rulan answered.
It was also at this time that the wind started somehow.
The branches in the forest shook violently.
Chen Rui hurriedly said, "Miss, hurry up and get in the car." ”
The group began to walk forward with difficulty against the wind. The speed of the car was significantly slower.
Because of this, the people on the mountain were a little impatient.
"Are you Ganfu people so insincere?" The thief's face was very displeased. "If you don't see the silver ticket in the afternoon, don't blame me for being unkind."
Ju Ruo stood in front of Mrs. Gan, her face solemn: "I see which of you dares." How will our Ganfu depend on your money? But if you hurt my old lady, this mountain will not be able to accommodate you, so let's go directly to the underworld to report! ”
"Little lady, what a powerful mouth." The thief looked at her with a smile: "It's better to wait and you can go with us." It's also great to be a cottage lady. ”
"Fuck off." Ju Ruo slapped the back of his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The people of Ganfu would rather die than give in." If you dare to mess around, I will die with you. ”
"Yes, I want to see how you die with me." The thief reached over and touched her face.
was beaten in the palm of his hand by Mrs. Gan with a cane.
"You old woman, you ......"
"No matter how poor my old woman is, the son she gave birth to is also a famous Da Sima. You only want money, why do you want to do everything? Even if we were to die today, would you be safe? When my son comes back, it's strange that he won't raze your mountain! ”
While he was talking, someone hurriedly came to report the news. "Boss, Ganfu's carriage has stopped at the bottom of the mountain. They were parking to change horses and prepare to go up the mountain. ”
"Hmph." The thief leader said with cold eyes: "For the sake of the silver, this is just a matter of convenience." Hurry up and send someone down to answer it, and make sure to get the beauty and silver in Ganfu. ”
There is a lot of mystery in these words, and I suddenly understood it.
It is true that these so-called "bandits" want silver, and it is also true that they want Gan Peilin. And the means to bring her here......
Mo Yanqing!
Mrs. Gan saw the whole thing through at once.
This slut, when he shared the interests with her in the past, was courteous and flattering everywhere. Now that she is miserable, she has to drag her and Peilin into the water, but she is too soft-hearted.
"Boss, they've got people up."
The thief suddenly spoke, and Mrs. Gan's body trembled: "I warn you, don't try to hurt my granddaughter. She is the favorite candidate of the Metropolitan Governor Jiang Yu. If there is anything missing, Jiang Yu will never spare you. ”
"Old lady, do you know why you are doing it now?" The thief leader glanced at him with contempt: "The governor in your mouth, I'm just afraid that now I have no time to take care of myself, where will I have the opportunity to take care of other people's affairs." So I advise you to be smarter, and maybe I can save your life later. ”
A terrible cry came from outside the nunnery, and the hearts of the people jumped suddenly.
Mrs. Gan felt that she was too reckless and harmed Peilin for nothing. The masters in this nunnery were all restrained by these unauthorized amounts and imprisoned in the cellar. Now I am afraid that the only one who can help them is the guards accompanying Ganfu.
But everyone came in, and the guards were not as good as these snakes.
"Let Me Go ......"
"Peilin." Mrs. Gan saw her being pushed in, and her face was full of worry: "Are you okay?" ”
Liulan raised her head, matched her colors with Mrs. Gan, and said in fear, "Grandmother, are you okay?" Don't be afraid that Peilin will come to save you. ”
It's actually Rulan. Mrs. Gan only breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seems that Peilin's girl is really smart.
"Less nonsense, what about the silver ticket?" The thief held out his hand to her.
"Here." Liulan only took out a silver ticket, which was only one hundred taels of silver.
"One hundred taels?" The thief looked at her in surprise: "Are you here to ask for food?" I want 10,000 taels. ”
"Others are in the hands of my minions." Liulan learned from Gan Peilin's calm appearance, and her tone was like a beautiful girl. "Why should I lay the money on myself, is it not enough for them to take it? Who told you to be in no hurry, and let me go up the mountain alone. Eighty percent of you, I don't think you want that silver either. ”
"How can it be?" The thief leader hurriedly said to the little brother beside him: "Don't go and get the silver ticket yet!" ”
His men hurriedly withdrew.
Liulan showed fear on the one hand, and secretly watched the movement inside.
There are quite a few of these bandits, and each of them has a sword. It seems that it is indeed the notorious bandit of this generation. But for no reason, how could they fight Ganfu's idea?
She didn't have to think about it, the bandit had already become lustful. "I can't complain, everyone says that the daughter of Ganfu is the most outstanding in the imperial city. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. It's much better than this girl. Why don't you go back with me and be my cottage lady? ”
"You?" Rulan smiled lightly, avoiding his outstretched hand. "That's up to you."
"My ability, don't you know it if you try it!" When the thief said this, the brothers laughed.
Liulan pulled out a silk silk from her waist and shook it in the wind. "I'm not that easy to bully. Don't believe it, you try! ”
"Try it, just try it." The thief's head held out his hand to her.
Liulan made a clever move, grabbed his wrist and shook it violently, and his arm was immediately dislocated.
"Ah......" The thief exclaimed in pain: "Do you know martial arts?" You're not the daughter of Ganfu! ”
"It's a pity you know too late." As Liulan's words fell, the bandits with swords in their hands staggered to the ground.
Even Mrs. Gan and Ju Ruo felt drowsy, their eyes were confused, and their minds were blank. It was as if he heard Rulan talking, but he couldn't hear anything at all.
"I'll leave it to you here, remember, the eldest lady means that it must be sent to the official." Liulan rubbed her hands and told Chen Rui before she said, "I'll go down the mountain now to pick up the eldest lady." We'll see you later in the house. ”
"Okay." Chen Rui nodded, feeling a little uneasy.
The eldest lady was the only one who left the guard who let the bird go, and that was also the brother with whom he had been in trouble. Is he really innocent? So what is the purpose of the eldest lady doing this?
The ghost blows the lamp
