Chapter Ninety-Six: There Are Rats!
The more Shao Zhiqiu looked, the more strange it became, and several coachmen and mother-in-law did not talk, but they all gathered around a carriage and looked around.
Could it be that there is someone else in the car?
It was almost April, and there were unknown small yellow flowers blooming on the side of the road, Shao Zhiqiu was really curious, so she grinned as if she was tired of sitting in the gazebo, and felt that the flowers were delicate, so she picked up the flowers around the gazebo.
Although those coachmen and mothers-in-law had been staring at her before, after all, Qinghuai had already left, and they didn't pay much attention to a little girl who only cared about playing, until Shao Zhiqiu finished picking all the flowers nearby, and walked towards them step by step, and got closer, and then the mother-in-law frowned slightly.
"The little girl looks at the road carefully, the cars and horses stop here, it's very unsafe, let's go play elsewhere!" When Shao Zhiqiu was finally only a few meters away from them, a mother-in-law finally showed a deliberate smile and said.
Shao Zhiqiu pretended to look up at the mother-in-law blankly, then looked at the flower in her hand, and then sat down on the spot.
Originally, the mother-in-law was polite when she saw that Qinghuai and Shao Zhiqiu were not dressed like ordinary people, but at this time, she saw that Shao Zhiqiu was sitting on the grass without any scruples, and she was contemptuous in her heart, although she didn't say anything, her expression was not as kind as just now.
Shao Zhiqiu sat on the grass and made a wreath.
She scattered the flowers in her hand and put them away, and only started to do it after looking at it for a long time, after all, she didn't make it up! It's because when I went to Zhuangzi to meet my grandmother, I watched the children in Zhuangzi make it up.
After all, the stems of those small flowers are not long, and all the flowers are used up, but they are not woven into one, so Shao Zhiqiu picked them up again near the grass where he was sitting, and the mother-in-law who spoke before did not pay attention to it, but was moved by Shao Zhiqiu left and right, and got two or three meters closer.
Seeing that Shao Zhiqiu had finally finished the garland, she stood up and patted the dust on her body, and was satisfied with the garland to bring it to her head, when she suddenly screamed.
"Ah~!! Mouse! There are rats! Yes! ”
While screaming, he pointed to the bottom of the carriage and ran towards it.
The coachman and mother-in-law were startled by her, and suddenly asked where to look, Shao Zhiqiu took this opportunity to jump left and right and rushed to the front of the surrounded carriage, and quickly opened the curtain of the carriage while no one was paying attention, and was looking at a woman holding a child.
Seeing that the woman looked panicked and was about to call someone, Shao Zhiqiu hurriedly let go and ran away with a thud.
The coachmen and the women were busy for a long time but did not find a single mouse, and when they looked again, they saw the little girl running back to the pavilion with a frightened face, holding the wreath in her arms and looking around vigilantly.
The mother-in-law who was talking to Shao Zhiqiu lifted the curtain and looked at the people in the carriage, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so she put the curtain down again without speaking.
There are many private things in the mansion, this Shao Zhiqiu knows, but looking at the clothes of the woman and the child, she looks like a serious master, but if she is really the master, how can she be guarded in the car?
Qinghuai had been gone for a while, and Shao Zhiqiu didn't move again, just looked at his wreath and sat in the gazebo waiting.
But before Qinghuai arrived, he saw a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, hurriedly ran to the side of the carriage, said a few words to the car, and ordered the coachmen and mother-in-law that they were leaving!
Shao Zhiqiu wanted to follow up to take a look, but she was afraid that Qinghuai would not be able to find her when she came back, and she was hesitating, but the carriage had already left.
didn't have time to think about it, Shao Zhiqiu was about to catch up, but was held down from behind.
As soon as Shao Zhiqiu turned around, Qinghuai frowned, looking at her with an expression written on her face, she had no choice but to give up.
"It is indeed the family of Liu Henian, the imperial history of the right capital." Qinghuai said, seeing that Shao Zhiqiu was a little hesitant, she said again.
"Let's go back to the inn first, I already know where they are, so there's no hurry."
Shao Zhiqiu had no choice but to nod and follow.
Back at the inn, Shao Zhiqiu handed Qinghuai a cup of tea, sat down and took a few sips, and then asked.
"What are they doing here?"
"The little monk who swept the floor said that he was here to pray for the old lady at home, who was old and in poor health." Qinghuai took a sip of tea and said.
She didn't continue, but Shao Zhiqiu knew that this was by no means the real reason, seeing that Qinghuai didn't say anything, Shao Zhiqiu frowned, it seems that things are really not simple.
"I saw a woman holding a child in the carriage of their house parked in the middle of the mountain, she looked like a master, if she was just praying for the old lady, how could she bring the child? What rich and noble family would bring a child into the temple, and I don't think the child is more than a year old! ”
Qinghuai's expression moved slightly, and he sighed and said to Shao Zhiqiu.
"I don't want to get too close in broad daylight, and they are very cautious, so they don't listen to all the specifics, in general, I'm afraid that Liu Henian will get into trouble, and someone has sent a box to their home for a few days, and the box is full of dead dogs with rats."
The dog takes the mouse...
Shao Zhiqiu raised her head and looked at Qinghuai.
"Could it be a matter of the court?"
"I didn't say anything specifically, only that Liu Henian instructed the family to send the eldest grandson to the clansmen in Dengzhou's hometown overnight, but he didn't want to make a noise, so he asked the family to secretly take the child out in the name of praying for blessings, and someone from there quietly picked it up, and now I am afraid that the child has been sent to Liu Henian's clan."
Shao Zhiqiu was slightly surprised, what did Liu Henian do! There are people who do not hesitate to coerce important ministers of the court, and Liu Henian's reaction told Shao Zhiqiu that the people behind them really have the strength to coerce important ministers of the imperial court! Liu Henian is arranging the aftermath just in case!
"What kind of person is this Liu Henian?" Shao Zhiqiu asked faintly.
Qinghuai shook her head, her duty on weekdays was to guard, and the eldest princess had never been involved in court politics, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the court.
"We'd better leave this alone." Qinghuai said.
In Qinghuai's opinion, this matter really shouldn't be managed, a person who can't be beaten with eight poles, and it involves the affairs of the court, it is really not something that an inner house girl should take care of, although Shao Zhiqiu is not an ordinary girl.
Shao Zhiqiu groaned. I thought about it for a long time and didn't speak.
In the previous life, Shao Zhiqiu only knew how to play when he was nine years old, and many court affairs were only somewhat understood after contact with the four princes, but now he can't help at all.
"Are they going to travel to Dengzhou overnight?"
Shao Zhiqiu asked.
"At this point, it's probably already on the road."
"Do you know which way they're going?"
"I didn't say it, but I probably have to go through the official road, and they don't bring many people."
Shao Zhiqiu nodded, and heard Qinghuai say again.
"The people from the Liu family have also set off to return to Beijing, and now I'm afraid they are also on the way."
