Chapter 219: A Desperate Shot
"Little girl, Mrs. Lin's inkstone and Yaoqin will be sold for five hundred taels, is your wife's silver not enough to replace it with a golden hairpin?" An old woman leaned over and looked at the contents of the turn in Bai Ying's hand, and said in amazement. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
Bai Ying shook his head: "Here are eight hundred taels of silver tickets, thirty taels of broken silver." How can the integrity of a scholar be measured by these silvers? My wife said, please Mrs. Lin don't worry about the things, and let the slaves and maids go with you to make a contract. The Lin family's inkstone and Yaoqin are only temporarily kept for the Lin family, and after the Lin family has overcome the difficulties, even if they send someone to exchange the silver back, no matter when, our family doesn't ask for much money. She swore by the pair of golden hairpins. β
The crowd of onlookers were all moved by Bai Ying's words.
Someone said: "Girl, your wife is really noble, I don't know which lady is it?" β
Bai Ying didn't speak, just looked at Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin stared at the turn for a while, and then turned her head to look at Sanniang's carriage. After thinking about it, she removed the yaoqin from her shoulder. Holding his hands in his hands, he came to the carriage.
The crowd of onlookers hurriedly followed, and Bai Ying followed behind Mrs. Lin with a turn.
Mrs. Lin walked to the carriage and handed the piano in her hand to the woman who followed the carriage next to the carriage.
After that, without saying a word, he knelt down, and immediately knocked his head three times with a "bang, bang", and when he raised his head again, it was already green.
Hearing the movement in the carriage, Sanniang hurriedly scolded the agarwood and helped Mrs. Lin get up, and Mrs. Lin got up and straightened her clothes before saying: "Concubine Feng, thank you for your generous help, the Lin family will not forget your great kindness, Madame." The lady's silver and the concubine of Fengchai have been accepted, and they will definitely be repaid twice in the future. As for the contract, it is not necessary. The concubine can be trusted by the lady. β
There was another round of talk in the crowd.
Feng Shi said again: "I don't know what Madame's house is?" β
Hearing this, Agarwood stepped forward and whispered a few words in Feng's ear, only Feng was the only one who heard it.
Feng Shi listened and nodded: "The concubine body remembers." β
As he spoke, he took the turn in Bai Ying's hand who followed, and bowed to the carriage again, and then left with the turn in his hand.
"Alright, let's go back." Sanniang saw that it was almost there. said to Xue.
Xue Shi only came back to her senses at this time, although she had some doubts in her heart, but she couldn't bear to ask for the time being.
The crowd saw that the carriage was leaving. All of them invariably gave way to a wide road.
The royal carriage drove away in full view of everyone.
Seeing that the carriage was out of sight, someone in the crowd sighed: "This lady is really noble, but it's a pity that she only reported to Mrs. Lin that she left the house." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" didn't let me wait to hear it. I don't know which house it is. With such insight and mind, she must be from an extraordinary background. β
At this time, someone in the crowd said: "I just met the coachman who drove the car for that lady." β
When everyone heard this, it turned out to be the driver of the rice paper shop at the end who drove the car for the owner.
"Oh? Where is the coachman? Someone asked curiously.
The coachman had never received this kind of attention, and he was very happy: "It's the coachman of the Wang's family in Maoyan'er Hutong." β
"Which Wang?" A student from other places came to Beijing.
"There is only one Lord Wang in Maoyaner Hutong, and it is Lord Wang Dong Wang, who is currently the right attendant of the Criminal Department." The owner of the Rulin Bookstore stroked his beard and said.
"This lady of Lord Wang's current ...... is the second lady of the late Xue Hanlin's family. Someone who knows more about gossip in Beijing immediately reacted.
"But that Xue Hanlin who was washed away by the current saint four years ago?"
"Exactly!"
"Then it's no wonder, the Xue family is also a scholarly family. There have been many virtuous scholars. β
"It's no wonder that the second lady of the Xue family has such a mind and bearing."
β¦β¦
If you want to ask where the allusions in history come from, Sanniang will tell you that they are all broken by scholars with added fuel and vinegar. Don't underestimate the power of public opinion that these people have gathered together. Compared to the women of the inner court, they are not weaker at all.
After that, Bai Ying asked Sanniang why she wanted Tete to offer the pair of hairpins. Even if they didn't have that pair of hairpins, Feng would give them Yaoqin and inkstones.
Sanniang said: "It's just a gimmick." "It's okay to say it's a prop.
Bai Ying didn't understand what Sanniang's words meant at that time. But this matter had already spread throughout the capital on the second day.
After a few more years, this incident hyped up by Sanniang for the Xue family was named by a good person. It's called the righteousness of the phoenix. Later, this incident was also turned into a drama by some literati. That's all for later.
This day passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was the second day of the chrysanthemum feast.
As Sanniang expected, Wuniang still made up her mind not to participate, and the Xue family did not force her to go.
After Sanniang dressed up, she went to Xue's room, and Xue was asking Agarwood to serve this headdress.
Sanniang wore the pink dress she tried in Yunxiang Building yesterday, with the set of red gold inlaid pink beeswax head and earrings that she bought in Duobao Building later.
It was the first time Xue Shi saw her in this outfit, and his eyes immediately lit up: "This face looked quite inconspicuous yesterday, and I don't want to match this outfit very well." β
Sanniang smiled and looked at Xue.
Xue is also wearing a newly made dress today, with a white trim powder blue background, a pink printed satin placket, and a pink floral pleated skirt. On the head, he wore a jade head face that Sanniang picked out with her yesterday, which was called Xue's elegance and charm, and the beauty was like the person in the painting.
Xue had already dressed up and stood up.
"This set of heads and faces you picked out really lined this clothes, I didn't know if I didn't wear it yesterday, but when I put it on today, I realized that Sanniang, your vision is really good."
Sanniang replied with a smile: "Then you can support this color, mother." β
Xue Shi was not annoyed when he saw that he was teased by his stepdaughter, so he only stepped forward and held Sanniang affectionately: "Let's go out." Brother Jing has already come just now, saying that he wants to ride a horse with Brother Jing and them first, so as not to have too many people with us, and it will be difficult to walk outside the city when the time comes. β
Prince Li's courtyard is in the western suburbs, and he has to walk a few miles out of the city gate.
"They said they were afraid that the road would be difficult to walk, but I think they were greedy for fun and wanted to take the opportunity to play elsewhere." Sanniang shook her head and said.
Xue Shi smiled: "They all ride horses very well, so let them go." The two of us just went together. β
Both of them were ready, and they went to the second gate to take the car.
This time I attended the banquet, Sanniang and the Xue family got into a carriage, and each was accompanied by their own personal maids.
Sanniang has been in the carriage several times, and now she is not as disliked about the carriage as she was when she first came. In ancient times, there was such a means of transportation on the road, and you had to walk without sitting.
The carriage of the Wang family gradually passed through the inner city, went out of the west gate, and went to the western suburbs.
The road outside the city is a dirt road, so naturally it is not as smooth as the road inside the city. Sanniang has dressed up again today, and she can't even lie down and rest, so Sanniang, who just felt that she had overcome the fear of the carriage, was helpless again.
"Miss, you lean on the slave." stepped forward and sat down against Sanniang.
Sanniang nodded, leaned on Bai Ying, and finally felt better.
Sanniang thought about closing her eyes and resting for a while, when suddenly there was a long neighing sound of horses, and the carriage shook for a while. There was an exclamation from the carriage of the mothers-in-law and maids who followed.
Sanniang opened her eyes suddenly, and looked out from the curtain lifted by Bai Guo, who was sitting by the car door, and was startled at this sight.
Xue's carriage, which was walking in front of her, had already run to the front because the horse was frightened, and her own two carriages had just stood up with the two legs behind them.
When Sanniang looked out, it just put down its front legs and stood firm, but Sanniang happened to see a small arrow flying from diagonally behind and shooting into the horse's buttocks. Then another arrow was shot diagonally forward, also at the horse.
The horse was frightened and afflicted, and seeing that there was danger in front of him, and that there was a mountain wall on his right, he galloped towards a fork in the road on his left. The coachman, who had jumped out of the carriage in fear when the arrow in front of him had just been shot.
Sanniang's driverless carriage went crazy and deviated from the right path and took a fork in the road.
"Ahh
"Missβ"
"Ma'am, helpβ"
"Be carefulβ"
Remembering the exclamations one after another in the carriage, Sanniang fell into Bai Ying's arms and reached out to hold the wall of the carriage.
"Don't panic, when the horse is tired of running, it will naturally stop, and Madame will send someone to find us." Sanniang tried her best to take a deep breath to calm herself.
But at this time, Bai Guo screamed: "Miss, ahead, there is a cliff in front." β
Sanniang couldn't help it when she heard this, and immediately sat up straight and looked out. This road is a sheep intestine path, it is very flat, and there are no trees on both sides, and it is precisely because of the flat Sanniang can see that there is no road about 300 meters ahead.
"Miss, what should I do?" Bai Ying said urgently.
Sanniang gritted her teeth and said: "If you really have no choice, you can only jump out of the car." β
Several people gasped when they heard this.
"But, miss, the horse is running too fast." Baiguo Road.
Sanniang knew that the horse was running too fast, and it was inevitable that he would be injured if he jumped into the carriage, but there was a cliff ahead......
Thinking of this, Sanniang suddenly touched her cuffs, and when she touched a hard thing in her hand, she didn't know how to be more stable in her heart.
Sanniang struggled to the door of the carriage and took out the contents of her sleeve, which was a dagger with a handle wrapped around vines. It's inconspicuous, but Sanniang knows that it can be cut into mud.
"Miss." Bai Ying exclaimed.
"I'll see if I can cut the wheels." Although this idea is a bit unbelievable, Sanniang feels that with the sharpness of the dagger in her hand, she may really be able to do it.
"If you can't jump out of the car, you jump as far forward as you can, and keep your head down to your chest and curl yourself up." (To be continued)
