042 Gift of Harmony (2)

The masters of Sufu are waiting, even if the road is bumpy, they can lie in the car and rest for a while, but they are suffering from these maids and women, in this scorching summer, it is good to follow the master in a sedan chair, those three or five are crowded in a car, exposed to the sun, and do not stun people, even if they are lucky.

"Mother Yu, what does this old house in Sufu look like? Is it bigger and more magnificent than the Su Mansion where we live now? "A little maid is the first time to follow the old house of the master's family, and she is full of curiosity.

This mother is an old man in the house, and when she was in Dancheng, she was an errand boy in the house, and after Su Mu was promoted, she sent some capable servants to bring the capital, and she was one of them.

"The old house of Sufu, that's not an ordinary style," Yu's mother pouted, proudly telling about the old house of Sufu, "This Su family is one of the largest families in Dancheng, and there are not eight hundred but one thousand descendants, not to mention those side lines, in recent years, there are more capable people in Sufu, and the people who go to other provinces to be officials can't be counted on two hands, so ah, whenever the ancestors are worshipped, the daughters perform the ceremony of the concubine, and the men perform the ceremony of the weak crown, the Su family outside the family gathers together, and it is very lively." ”

"I heard that there is a thousand-year-old banyan tree in this old Su mansion, and the roots of the tree stretch for several miles, covering the entire Su family's house, is that so? Yu Mom? The other boy wiped the sweat from his face, and put his hands together flatteringly, and lifted it above his mother to shade her.

Yu's mother was complimented, and suddenly felt that her identity was not ordinary, her waist was straight, and her face was flushed, "That is, it is said that this old banyan tree has existed since the ancestors of the Su family came to live in Dancheng, and now after thousands of years of growth, it has grown very big, the roots of the tree are as thick as horses, and the canopy is shrouded in the entire Sufu ancestral hall, protecting Sufu." ”

The more Yu's mother spoke, the more excited she became, her whole body began to tremble, and she fainted after a while.

Everyone in the same car looked at it and panicked, some people were calling her, some people jumped out of the car, and said a few words to the steward Ke in the team, only to see the steward come over and investigate, try it on the mother's nose, and say to everyone: "You all scattered, this is heat stroke, you are still gathered here, do you not want this mother to wake up?" ”

When these people heard this, they did not dare to bear this sin, and quickly dispersed.

Then the housekeeper asked the two mothers-in-law to help Yu's mother to rest under the shade of the tree, instructed her to give her more water to drink, and then rode to the eldest lady's car.

"What's going on behind the scenes?" The eldest lady asked.

The steward's report: "Mrs., it's too hot, and an old mother in the back fainted from heat stroke. ”

The eldest lady lifted the curtain and looked at the sky outside, the sun was scorching the earth strongly, and the heat was constantly rising, as if she wanted to steam out the water vapor on people's bodies.

"You take someone to the front to see if there is a place to rest, just so that everyone can escape the heat."

Steward Ke received the order and found someone to inquire in front, and after a short time, the man came back to report that there was a tea shop in front, and he just stopped to rest.

At this time, Yu's mother also woke up, but she still felt dizzy, so Steward Ke left a car, and when she felt better, she went to the front to keep up with the team.

Because of Yu's mother's matter, the team slowed down, and the curious people opened the curtain to ask about the situation, only Su Yi was bored along the way, let go of his hearing, and listened to the words between this group of people, and naturally knew about Yu's mother's heat stroke.

"Miss, the line is slowing down." Huanyu will always be a curious baby.

Su Yi smiled and said: "In such a hot weather, those maids and wives who follow are all making curtainless cars, and it is estimated that someone is suffering from heat stroke." ”

"Hey, Da Cong, come here." Huanyu greeted a nursing home with a big waist and a round waist and asked, "What's going on in the back?" ”

Sun Huyuan knew that Huanyu was the eldest maid next to Miss Four, so she only said that she was asking questions for Miss Four, and replied respectfully: "Miss Hui, a mother in the back fainted from heat stroke, and the eldest lady said that the tea shop in front of her would rest and recuperate before setting off." ”

Su Yi opened the sedan curtain on the other side, and found that there were high slopes and depressions around, and it was not a problem to hide three or five hundred people, and then a little farther, it was a mountain, although it was not high, but it stretched for several miles, hiding in the mountains, and it was difficult to find traces when the soldiers came, this was really a place where bandits haunted.

"Da Cong, you tell Steward Ke and ask him to send more people to guard around the mountain, and when there is any trouble, send someone to notify the government first, and then find a way to save people." This group of people are all old and weak women and children, and the bandits can't run away from others, although there are accompanying nursing homes, but if they really encounter bandits, they can't be beaten.

"Sister, you're worried too much, even bandits don't dare to come, besides, we have more than a dozen nursing homes to protect us, so you don't have to be afraid at all." Su Qing held Su Yi's hand, originally wanting to comfort her, but she never thought about it, and was stopped by Su Yi's words.

"What if there are dozens, if even hundreds, of people on the other side? Does my sister have a way to deal with it? Su Yi's tone was soft, although he was asking, he didn't have the slightest sense of aggressiveness.

Su Yi saw that Su Qingleng was there, so he exerted his kindness and let this eldest lady who stayed at home understand what evil in the world was, "Second sister, look at the mountain over there." ”

Su Qing poked her head out and looked in the direction of Su Yi.

Su Yi continued: "The mountains over there are towering, stretching for miles, or even farther, if there are really thieves hiding in them, looking down, our team is exposed, they are familiar with the terrain in the mountains, after killing and plundering, hide in the mountains, even if thousands of troops come, it is difficult to find traces." ”

Su Qing nodded, although she rarely read books on the art of war, she thought Su Yi was very reasonable, "Then what do we do?" Do you want to go home? ”

"It's impossible to go back to the house, but it's necessary to take precautions, if you really encounter a situation for a while, second sister, we have to change into the clothes of the maid, and then find a chance to escape, this is not far from the capital, even if there are bandits, my sister thinks, it's not that kind of murderous nature, otherwise the government would have sent someone to clear it." Su Yi knew that when she encountered something, Huanyu would definitely listen to herself, but for this second lady, she didn't know how to ensure that she could be obedient.

As soon as Su Qing heard Su Yi say that even if there were bandits, they wouldn't kill anyone, and her heart suddenly relaxed, "In this case, if you really encounter bandits, then let's discuss with them, give them more silver, and let us go." ”

"Everyone, Miss is still too naΓ―ve!" Su Yi thought so, but he had to speak patiently, "Second sister, don't forget, we are all ladies in the house, if the bandits lack a daughter-in-law, our group of people will be in the middle of it!" ”

"Then, Jin Xiu, quickly, find me a dress of yours, so that I don't get flustered and have no time to change into it."
