Chapter Forty-Eight: Departure to Beijing (9)
Suddenly, a fresh breeze came, and a pungent smell of rouge wafted towards them.
At this moment, Pan Mingzhong woke up in this fragrance.
Her eyes opened and closed, closed and opened, and although she had only regained most of her consciousness, her head hurt a little.
She looked around and realized that she was still in the carriage, and when she realized that she was carrying something, she looked down and saw that it was a man's legs. When she looked up again, she saw Lin Yutang falling asleep with his eyes closed.
She was lying on his lap!
For a moment, she was a little incredulous, and unconsciously let out a scream and quickly got up from his lap.
And her scream woke him up alive.
He opened his eyes and looked at her coldly: "What a noise! ”
She turned her face away and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to! ”
He looked at it coldly, and then looked away: "Old Ma, have you found the inn?" ”
Seeing that he didn't answer, he felt impatient again.
Zhang Yuniang observed his side face and saw that he was moody and angry, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but she knew that he must be impatient at this moment: "Master, I know that there is an inn named Lianxiang that is very good!" ”
He turned to look at her, "Yes! So how do you know? ”
Oops, that's a leak!
She was slightly stunned, and explained: "I spent some time in Yingzhou when I was young, so I also know that this inn is good!" ”
He didn't pursue the truth of her words: "Do you remember where this inn is?" If you remember, lead the way! ”
She smiled and nodded at him.
In this way, under her guidance, they came to this inn.
They dismounted the carriage, led it to the stable, and entered the inn gate.
The little two in the inn saw that the person who came was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing, so he hurriedly walked up and greeted him with a smile: "Do the guest officers want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?" ”
"Stay! Prepare a few of us with some good rooms, and remember to have some hot water for us to bathe! Also, prepare a few more side dishes! ”
"Gotcha! I'll arrange it! ”
So, they paid a silver tael, and after the second little one arrived at the store and made arrangements, they went back to their respective rooms to take a bath.
After washing, they all went out the door and went downstairs, came to the place they had already chosen, and sat down to eat!
After a long day of travel, they were so tired that none of them wanted to speak, just to fill their stomachs for the next one!
After eating, Lin Yutang suddenly said: "Stay in Yingzhou for a few days, and then leave!" ”
They agreed, and went back to their rooms to get some rest!
At dawn on the second day, the morning sun dyed the city of Yingzhou with golden orange, and the hue was so bright that it woke up the sleeping earth; Outside the window, the birds chirped happily on the green branches, making the turbid world suddenly wake up! Everything is recovering, so lively!
They wake up in the morning and start getting dressed and washed.
When they were done, they went downstairs to have breakfast.
Lin Yutang ate pastries: "Take a day off today, and go out with me later!" ”
They nodded in agreement!
At some point, after they finish their breakfast, they go out into the streets!
There are columns of camel caravans in the streets, and they carry exotic goods on the backs of camels, and they are dragged along with each other!
Pan Mingzhong looked at these people, all of whom were gray-bearded and yellow-faced, dressed in strange costumes, leading camels past her.
She had never seen such a camel caravan! When I saw it at this time, I felt a little shocked!
So, she looked at the caravans in amazement, not knowing that her companion had already gone to another place!
By the time she reacted, there was no camel caravan in front of her, and there were no traveling companions around her.
She looked anxiously in all directions, looking for them!
Where the hell did they go? She's really, why don't you follow them closely?
However, could this be the best time for her to escape?
She thought about it, and suddenly thought of the last escape experience, and shook her head in fear.
No, if he finds out! She's definitely going to walk around without food!
However, if she loses this opportunity, she may regret it for the rest of her life!
With this in mind, she was ready to run away!
Life is unfamiliar, in a foreign land, no silver is not feasible! She knew she didn't have much money with her, so she returned to the inn and prepared to take her baggage before leaving!
She looked around and saw that there were no of them around, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the inn!
In a few moments, she was back in her room at the inn.
She opened the door, quickly picked up her baggage, and ran outside!
However, before she could run out of the inn, she heard the cold and terrible voice: "I expected you to escape!" ”
As soon as these words came out, she was shocked in her heart, and she immediately knew who that person was!
She turned slowly, and saw his ghostly figure, and when the words came to her mouth, she became incoherent: "I...... No...... I...... It's not like that, you listen to me......"
He walked up to her, took her hand and walked upstairs: "You still want to lie to me!" In my life, what I hate most is deception! ”
He looked back at her, and there was no emotion in his face, but his sharp eyes like poisonous snakes pierced her heart with a sharp needle, piercing her heart deeply!
He took her to his room and locked the door!
There was a "click" sound, and she knew that the door was locked, so she began to panic: "Let me out!" You...... What to do! ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, and walked towards her step by step, she panicked even more! She didn't want him to get close to her, so she started walking around the room in order to find an opportunity to escape!
It didn't take him a few steps to fly to her side!
Seeing this, she was startled: "You let me go!" Let's go......"
He said angrily: "You are not qualified to order me! He took out a medicine bottle and poured a pill from it: "Eat it!" ”
She stepped back step by step: "I don't eat!" ”
He looked at her, not moving. But when she couldn't retreat, he made a quick stride and came to her.
He grabbed her hands and pressed her legs to prevent her from breaking free.
He quickly shoved the balls down her throat and didn't let her spit them out!
Swallowing the pill in her stomach, she immediately felt a burst of pain.
Her face was distorted, and tears could not help but flow down, and it was difficult to resist the intense pain!
Seeing her appearance at the moment, he felt a little happy in his heart, so he sneered and let go of her: "Snort~ It's ugly!" ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Master, has Ming Zhong found it?" Are you in there? ”
When he heard this delicate female voice, he knew who was knocking on the door! So, he said impatiently: "It's annoying! There's always someone who wants to mess with it! He looked at her: "Stay here, accept my punishment well, feel the pain, do you hear?" ”
This terrible and hateful demon, if she had the chance, she would have to kill him!
She held back and nodded at him.
He was satisfied: "That's good!" Also, don't disobey me again! Speaking of this, his eyes turned hateful: "Otherwise, I will kill you!" Or, kill what you love the most! ”
Seeing this, she broke out in a cold sweat, trembled in her heart, and quickly lowered her head to not look at his eyes that made her soul frightened.
When he had finished speaking, he ignored her and walked straight to the door. Then, he opened the door, walked out of the door, and left with Zhang Yuniang!
When he left, she breathed a sigh of relief!
However, she was unconscious because of the dizziness of her head and the pain of her body!
Here, Lin Yutang and Zhang Yuniang went downstairs together and were sitting on the table drinking tea.
He took a sip and frowned: "This tea...... It's so unpalatable! He turned to look at her: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to you!" ”
Hearing this, she lowered her head and whispered, "Master...... I'm sorry! ”
He touched his chin and said solemnly, "Since you have done something wrong!" So you say, how am I going to punish you? ”
She clenched her fists: "Yu Niang didn't dare to speak at will, so she let the landlord dispose of it!" ”
He smiled coldly: "Sure enough, you are also a coward!" That's it, I'll punish you for going with me somewhere! ”
She didn't want to spoil his interest, so she didn't ask more.
He stood up and looked at the crowded avenue outside the inn and the afterglow that spilled on the ground: "But before that, you go with me to change your clothes!" ”
She also stood up and respectfully agreed!
After the change of clothes, they drove the luxurious carriage to the Shengxiao Fang.
They parked the carriage in a suitable place and got out of it.
One of them was born handsome and proud, and although the noble and cold aura was not revealed, he was powerful; The other is born with a jade face and a soft face, does not distinguish the beauty of male and female, and is extremely clear, and is drunk and obsessed with pedestrians without amorous feelings.
Such a jade person, it seems to come from the sky! In this way, as soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of several people!
When they entered the workshop, they had a beautiful girl who came to answer with a smile: "The two sons looked at the noodles, it's the first time to come!" That...... Do you want the slave family to recommend a few excellent ones for the sons to have fun! ”
As soon as this sound came out, the thick fragrance of fat powder came to the nostrils.
Hearing this kind of words and smelling this aroma, Lin Yutang was displeased: "Get out!" Don't make me say it a second time! ”
The woman was startled, and then turned her head to look at Zhang Yuniang.
Seeing that she was a little panicked, I knew that she was scared! But she didn't say anything to her, only turned her head and whispered to him: "Master, we are not familiar with this Shengxiao Workshop!" Why don't you ask her to tell us more about it! ”
He pondered: "Whatever you want!" ”
Knowing that he agreed, she said to the girl, "Girl, I'm sorry I scared you!" What he just said is withdrawn, so tell us about it! ”
Hearing these comforting words, the woman's heart felt relieved: "Okay...... I'll tell you about it! Then come with me! ”
So they sat down in a quieter corner.
The lady served them good refreshments: "Speaking of Shengxiao Fang, it is also thanks to the first generation of owners a few years ago!" The owner is a childless and daughterless half-aged, she is not afraid of hardships, not afraid of gossip, with the wisdom of business, founded the Shengxiao Fang, and continues to carry forward! ”
"In addition, she was a kind person, often helping the poor and caring for the young, adopting homeless children, nurturing them without paying a penny, teaching them a skill, and not expecting anything in return!"
When Zhang Yuniang heard this, she was a little touched: "This story ...... I think I heard it when I was younger! ”
