Chapter 64: Junyi's Request (2)
Along the way, the Zheng family had a straight face, and Wei Yunying was even more depressed, sitting there with his head bowed and silent.
Because it is walking along the mountain range, although it is an official road, it is also occasionally bumpy.
Wei Yunying took Puji pills before getting into the car, and Mama Tang put a plate of hawthorn cake in front of her, so although her face looked a little pale, it was not a big deal, maybe it had something to do with her not being on the road.
Although Mama Tang has the intention to enliven the atmosphere, she doesn't know how to speak. Seeing that the carriage had been traveling for nearly an hour, and the atmosphere in the carriage was not good, she couldn't help but look at Sanniang as if asking for help.
Sanniang thought about it, opened the curtain of the car slightly, and said with a smile: "The car has passed the clear water, yesterday I heard the female shopkeeper say that this road is not very smooth, I see that here is a beautiful mountain and clear water, not like a dangerous place"
Zheng Shi was really distracted, shook his head and said, "People can't be disgraced, let alone these dead things?" I heard that the more colorful and beautiful the flowers, grasses, insects, beetles, and beetles are more likely to be harmful poisons. I heard that a caravan stayed here overnight, and a few men who watched darts wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some game and fight tooth sacrifices, but they never came back, saying that there were wolves on the mountain. ”
Wei Yunying was also attracted by these words, and leaned closer to Sanniang in some fear.
Sanniang glanced at Wei Yunying and said softly: "Along the way, my sister has no spirit. It's just that Mrs. said this, this neighborhood can't stop and rest, and my sister may be able to hold on. ”
Wei Yunying was still worried that her gaffe along the way would arouse suspicion, but now when she heard Sanniang say this, she understood that everyone thought that she was in bad spirits because of motion sickness, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I feel much better, just now, just now I just got in the car and didn't get used to it." Wei Yunying smiled reluctantly.
Everyone began to talk again, although the atmosphere was not as good as yesterday. But it was much easier than the silence just now.
By the time the carriage arrived at Licheng, it had already passed the unitary hour. Fortunately, the summer days are long, and the sun has not yet set, so it is not too late.
Licheng is the capital of Shandong Province. Its lively and prosperous scene is naturally not comparable to Qingcheng County and Puji Town, which stayed for a day yesterday. The streets of the city alone can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages in parallel.
The Zheng family arranged for Gao Yuan to stay in the morning, which was inevitable for another incident. Zheng ordered the carriage to drive all the way into the inn. Therefore, the prosperity on the street Sanniang didn't have time to explore it carefully, and it only passed by in a flash.
This time it was a small courtyard of a large inn. The courtyard of the two entrances, plus the east and west wings, is also spacious.
Sanniang and Wei Yunying lived in the three main rooms with the Zheng family, and Wang Jing, Wei Mian, Xuanyun and others arranged in the first east and west compartments.
"Why don't you see that Junyi son?" Zheng asked after listening to Mama Tang's report on everyone's room arrangements.
"The prince said that the prince of Junyi has something to do. I left first when I was in Puji Town today. Later, he will meet us later, and the slave and maid will leave him a room in the west wing. ”
Zheng nodded and asked no more.
After dinner, Sanniang took Bai Ying and Bai Zhi to cool off under the grape trellis in the yard.
Because men and women live in the front and back courtyards, only Zheng's, Wei Yunying, Sanniang and some mothers-in-law and maids live in the second courtyard. Therefore, Zheng and Mama Zhang are also relieved that Sanniang is sitting in the courtyard.
"Miss, you put your chopsticks aside without eating a few bites at night, and the slave maid will go to the kitchen to give you a bowl of noodles, okay?" Bai Zhi asked.
"I've heard for a long time that Sister Bai Zhi can make good pasta, Miss, you have a good mouth today." Bai Ying said with a smile.
"One of you can make tea, the other can make noodles, I am indeed a good mouthful." Sanniang chuckled and said, "You go and ask Madam and Yunying if they want to use some." They also took a few bites today and separated the chopsticks. Anyway, if you want to do it, make more, and you can eat a little bit too. ”
"It seems that the slave maid is also a blessed person, that is, Sister Bai Zhi." Bai Ying quipped.
Bai Zhi glanced at Bai Ying with disgust. The blessed body is gone.
A gust of wind blew, bringing some warm coolness, but Sanniang paused and frowned.
"It's windy, let's go back to the house and wait for Bai Zhi's face." Sanniang stood up and said without a trace.
Although Bai Ying was a little surprised, she nodded softly and agreed, and was about to come to help.
I didn't want to suddenly walk out of the figure from the side at this time, Bai Ying was so frightened that she was about to scream, but Sanniang quickly raised her hand to cover Bai Ying's mouth.
"Is it Jun Gongzi?" Sanniang said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Bai Ying tried her best to swallow back the screams of the exit, and turned her head to look, although she couldn't see the face of the person hidden in the shadows because of the dark sky, but the cold temperament was indeed the same as that of the prince of Junyi.
"Sorry to scare you." The man took a slight step forward, letting a little moonlight shine on half of his side face, the moonlight was like frost, and his face was like jade.
Bai Ying patted his chest, and said in fear: "Jun Gongzi, if you stand up without saying a word like this, you will be scared to death." And this is the inner courtyard, if people can see it, what if it is okay? ”
Junyi glanced at Bai Ying and said lightly: "It's me who is not thoughtful." ”
Sanniang looked at Junyi's clothes, which looked a little darker in the moonlight, and frowned, "Are you injured?" "She's just been alerted when she smells blood when the wind is blowing.
"Not me." Junyi paused when he heard this, but he didn't want to say more, and only handed the things in his hand to Bai Ying on the side.
"This is a drawing, hard work."
Sanniang saw that he refused to say more, so she just gave up.
She was not familiar with this Junyi son, and she agreed to help him draw the picture out of repaying him for saving Wang Jing, and listening to what he said, the blood on his body was not his.
As for whether this blood is human or animal, if it is human, what kind of person it is, Sanniang is not willing to care, and even has to care.
"I wonder when this map boy will ask for it?" Sanniang groaned.
He was in such a hurry to send the picture over at this time, thinking that he was in a hurry to get it. It's just that now on the road, tomorrow I have to take a day in a carriage, and it is too difficult to draw a picture on the car.
When Junyi heard this, she was silent for a moment, as if she was a little hesitant, but finally said, "Although I know that it is a little difficult." But if I can, I hope that the third lady can try to give me the map before arriving in Ziyang City. ”
Sanniang pondered for a while when she heard this, then nodded and said, "I'll try tonight to see if I can make it out in a hurry." ”
If it weren't for the urgency, she believed that this gentleman would not have quietly come to her to give her a picture in the night. And to make this obviously somewhat embarrassing request.
Since she promised to help, she will do her best to do it.
Junyi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her thin lips were slightly hooked. With a shallow smile, he said, "Thank you, Miss Three." When the third lady leaves early tomorrow morning, she can put the picture on the table in the room, and I will let someone get it. ”
Sanniang was slightly stunned by his smile. She had heard the word "Laughing Allure", but the person standing in front of her was obviously a teenager, and she didn't know that this word could be used on men.
Although Junyi's smile is very faint and has a coldness in her bones, it is undeniable that it is very attractive.
Sanniang smiled, every time this teenager stood in front of her, she would always unconsciously ignore his age.
Now he can still degenerate enough to be attracted by the smile of a teenage child. It seems that she has entered this body, and she has entered the play too deeply.
"I know, in this case, Sanniang will go back first." Sanniang nodded and motioned for Bai Ying to take the drawings and go back to the room, but saw that Bai Ying was also a little uncomfortable on her face.
Sanniang couldn't help laughing, sure enough, everyone is equal in front of beauty, and when she returns to God, where is Junyi's figure.
Sanniang's face was as immobile as a mountain, but she secretly exclaimed in her heart, this is the legendary kung fu?
When I returned to the room, I ate the noodles brought by Bai Zhi. Sanniang excused herself to rest when she was tired, and drove all the girls out to rest, leaving only Bai Ying to serve.
Bai Ying took out the four candlesticks that she had just gone out to prepare, and blew out the oil lamps in the room first. Then in the dark, cover the windows and door cracks and other light-letting areas with a thick futon.
After being so busy for a long time, I didn't feel at ease, so I lit a candle first, and then quietly ran outside to look, and came back after a while and said happily: "Miss, there is no light at all." As he spoke, he lit the remaining three candles.
Sanniang shook her head and smiled: "What if there is a little light?" When others asked, they said that I had come to this strange place, and I had to sleep with the lamp on, and I closed the window for fear of disturbing others. Who are you going to hold accountable for such a small matter? ”
Bai Ying smiled when she heard this: "The slave forgot that this is not the mansion. Mrs. Wei fell in love with Miss again, so naturally she would not be embarrassed by such a trivial matter. After saying that, he felt that what he said was inappropriate, as if he had said that he had not yet been at ease outside to stay at home. He pursed his lips and said no more.
Sanniang didn't care, she just opened the drawings given by Junyi and turned on the lights.
The difference between ancient maps and modern maps is that when maps were drawn in ancient times, they were influenced by the idea that the sky is round and the earth was round, and the surface of the earth was regarded as a plane, regardless of the curvature of the surface. Because the ancient political, economic and cultural center was in the mainland area of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, it really looked like a plane.
However, if you only draw a small area of the map, the plan can be very accurate, and if you draw a large area of the map, you also need to use a map projection.
Junyi gave five small maps, some of which were drawn very accurately, and some of which were sparsely brushed. Although the drawings are concise, they are also simple and easy to understand.
It's just that these five pictures look familiar? Sanniang took a closer look, but found that these maps were the topographic maps near Mingshui that she had traveled today.
It's just that some of the maps have carefully drawn every settlement, every path, and even how deep and wide some caves are, and where they lead in the end.
Sanniang couldn't help but wonder what this gentleman wanted to do with all these pictures.
Although there were doubts in her heart, Sanniang did not stop in her hand, turned out a piece of rice paper and began to draft with charcoal.
There is also some data on a piece of paper, which looks like a calculation formula, Sanniang took a closer look and found that some of them were incomprehensible, but fortunately, she knew that the two words of the score were the scale. Because of some skills, even if you guess, you can't leave ten.
Sanniang turned out the booklet that she had originally drawn for reference, and drew the range of the five pictures on the rice paper.
Sanniang draws the picture, Bai Ying hands the pen, hands the ruler, and grinds the ink on the side, and Sanniang also uses paint in order to make the picture more intuitive.
By the time the picture was completed, it was already dawn. Sanniang rubbed her sore neck and arms, tried to open her upper and lower eyelids that had been fighting, and found that Bai Ying had removed the mattress covering the window at some point, and even the candles that had been lit all night had been blown out because of the bright sky.
Sanniang just wanted to lie down on the bed, but Bai Zhi knocked on the door and asked if Miss was awake.
Sanniang sighed slightly, it seemed that she could only go to the carriage to make up for sleep. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
