Chapter 284: Walking Together
"The convoy in front, but the backer is Lianjia?" A loud voice came from behind, and a man of about thirty years old in a yellowish coarse cloth robe jumped down from the carriage, threw the whip on the carriage, and said with a smile on his face.
"Whoever comes, report your name!" The first captain of the escort team walked out, and saw that this man was bookish, although he was not a rich man, his attitude was a little better.
"Under is the family surnamed Zhang in the nearby villages and towns, skimmed a few books, has a show of fame, and now wants to enter Beijing to catch the exam, but there are many bandits in this high mountain and far away, I heard that someone in the family is going to leave for Beijing, so I am waiting here every day, hoping to go together and make it convenient." The man said with a smile arching his hand, his eyes flickering from time to time, and it was obvious that this man was not as loyal and honest as he seemed.
"It turned out to be a reader!" The captain obviously had a good impression of the man who could read, and when he said this, he nodded, "You wait here, I'll go back to the master at home!" ”
"Okay, I'm tired!" The scholar said yes again and again, smiled and lowered his head to make a gesture, and when others couldn't see it, a cold smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, which looked very hideous.
When the captain walked forward, Cui'er was sitting in the car and was sleepy, Cui'er missed the children, so Cui'er carried the soft and small bag to the car in front of her, while she was taking the big girl and Huiya to do needlework.
Speaking of Huiya's apprentice, Cui'er originally wanted to leave her in the tea shop in the backing mountain, after all, this little girl was not lightly injured after being pushed down the hill by Feng Peony's grandmother, but she didn't expect that after Huiya heard that her family was going to the capital, she would follow without saying a word. said that it was good to be a maid or a slave, and he must follow everyone into Beijing together, but he closed his mouth and refused to say why.
Cui'er looked at Huiya and loved it very much. It seemed to be an apprentice for a while, and now although I was puzzled, I couldn't bear to refuse her so directly, thinking that along the way, the girl didn't have a peer to talk to or anything, so she agreed to take Huiya with her. There is also a scene of the three of them talking and doing needlework together in the carriage.
"Miss Yubao, a Xiucai surnamed Zhang came after her, saying that she was going to the capital to catch the exam, and wanted to go with us. It's better to be sheltered, Miss, look at this? Although the captain didn't speak to the surnamed Xiucai when he spoke, he found Cui'er, who was the most gentle and the best to talk to among the masters, which shows that he still cares more about that surnamed Xiucai.
"Zhang surnamed Xiucai?" After hearing this, Cui'er was not very surprised, although Cui'er had not been in contact with many ancient scholars. But in the TV series or in it, I have seen poor scholars entering Beijing to take the exam, and I have sympathy for these dead scholars. "Look at that man, if he is a traitor, he will be beaten, if he is pure, let him follow the convoy."
Sure enough, Cui'er was easy to talk to, and the captain got Cui'er's order. went back with a smile and passed the word, and the surnamed Zhang Xiu heard this. Overjoyed, he saluted the captain again and again. I am very grateful.
As a rough captain, he saw that the scholar frequently bent his waist to himself, and he only felt very hot-headed, I don't know if he deliberately made friends with Zhang surnamed Xiucai, or the two of them had already surrendered to the deed, and walked on the road for an afternoon.
In this case, the hidden man who was disguised as a coachman was in his eyes, others didn't know the scholar, but the hidden one's heart was mirror-like, the second village master of the Black Tiger Village, the second village master, the original master of his own family was unwilling to kill more and leave you a way to live, but you have a way to heaven, and there is no door to hell!
Yin Yi's eyes flickered, looking at the second village master of the Black Tiger Village secretly inquired about the ins and outs of his own team, with an unintentional look, knowing that this was the Black Tiger Village to hit the idea of his own team, it is estimated that the second village master is a spy in disguise, and the team of the Black Tiger Village will definitely ambush their own team along the way, and when the time comes, they should take down their own team in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Yin Yi's eyes were cold, thinking of the tragic situation of the people who were taken captive there when the Black Tiger Village was lurking, the horse whip that Yin Yi was holding in his hand was broken with a bang, no, this dangerous person must not be allowed to stay in his own convoy for a long time, the safety of the young lady was so threatened, Yin Yi felt that the green tendons on his forehead were about to burst out.
Called the people next to him to drive his own car with the goods, Yin Yi slowly walked towards the car of Master Ye, because he was wearing the coachman's clothes and disguised again, Yin Yi was inconspicuous at the moment, and slowly moved to the front of Ye Ye's car, and glanced at Yin Wu who was driving the car for Ye Ye, and Yin Wu called Yin Yi over, talking like an ordinary coachman.
After talking for a while, seeing that there was no one next to him, Yin Yi told Cui'er's father what he had just seen through the curtain, and the two talked a few more secretly, and Yin Yi jumped off the carriage like nothing and returned to the carriage where he was.
The convoy did not go slowly, and after a short time, they came to the place where they planned to rest, the place was a small village, dozens of families lived next to each other, and the people sent by Uncle Zhong in front of them came to prepare in advance on horseback, and when the carriage arrived, several relatively good houses in the village had been vacated, and they had cleaned up and boiled hot water, waiting for the arrival of the masters.
Cui'er was pregnant, and she didn't sleep well, she was already very sleepy at this time, she was half-helped by Lian Qingshan to get out of the carriage, and was sent to one of the best houses, looking at the appearance of the mud on the wall of the house, it should have just been built.
Cui'er was already a little sleepy at this time, wiped her face a little, and a steaming meal was served, although this meal was made in this house, but it was prepared in advance by the cook who came to the front station, the taste and nutrition were suitable, although Cui'er had been sitting in the carriage for a day, there was no consumption, but she also had a good appetite and ate a lot.
After finishing the meal, Cui'er was sleepy, and went to sleep, Aunt Zhong took Xiangmo and them to serve the masters, and after all the things were done, she took a long breath and prepared to hurry into the house to take a good rest.
It was almost dark, and Aunt Zhong watched the servants in a large courtyard disperse, and gently beat her back a little sore because she had been sitting in the carriage for a day, and looked at the courtyard where the masters were resting next to her, and looked at the light of candles in it, but when no one made a sound, she knew that the masters were also tired this day and were going to rest.
Xu is out of the mountain, the courtyard wall of the farmhouse in this place is only half a person's high adobe wall, and it can't block the sight of adults, that is, it is just a role to mark the boundary of the land, looking at the moon rising in the sky, Aunt Zhong let out a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face, and the day passed smoothly.
Just when Aunt Zhong turned around and went back to the house, she suddenly saw a small shadow hurriedly slip out of the yard where the master was, and the movement was very slight, if it weren't for Aunt Zhong'er's good eyesight, she wouldn't be able to see her at all.
But because the light is not obvious, the small shadow can't really see who it is, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a girl's figure, Aunt Zhong subconsciously quickly passed over the girl with a similar body shape in her mind, there should be four matches in her own team, but who it is, Aunt Zhong is not sure.
Originally, Aunt Zhong didn't care too much about the situation when this girl came out, thinking that this little girl might be going to the thatched house or something, and just wanted to enter the house, but saw that the figure did not go out openly, but quickly hid in the shadow of the wall, and the cat rubbed along the wall little by little, like a thief.
Be a thief! Aunt Zhong'er's eyes suddenly became sharp, if this little girl is her own girl, then there is no need to go out so sneakily, if the girl of another family, what did she do to go to her master's room, eighty percent of them went to steal things!
Aunt Zhong is a cold-hearted and hard-hearted person on weekdays, or she can't control so many girls in Cui'er's yard, and now she sees someone who wants to make a moth under her nose, so what's the point? Aunt Zhong immediately stopped having a sore waist, no more back pain, and no longer tired legs, looked around, and saw that there was a half-person tall flat pole in her yard, and she copied it without saying a word, and tiptoed to follow the thin shadow.
She rubbed to the gate of the yard little by little, gently dragged open the fence door made of firewood sticks, and looked out nervously, and saw that there was no one outside, so she quickly and cleverly rushed out, and rushed to the door of the two courtyards next door.
I don't know if it's because there are many guards, the gate of the farmhouse where the masters are located is just hidden in the void, and the courtyard door where the people are located is not even closed, and the courtyard door where the figure touches itself is not somewhere else, but the courtyard where the Ye family's guardians live.
Looking at the small figure walking neatly and firmly towards one of the houses, Aunt Zhong'er's brows furrowed more and more tightly, just at the moment when the small figure ran out, through the newly rising moonlight, Aunt Zhong recognized that this figure was Huiya, who often followed her young lady.
Aunt Zhong recognized Hui Ya, and was very relieved, it was not the girl outside who came to steal things, without the trouble of the thief, Aunt Zhong'er's face was much better, and she no longer pinched the flat burden so fiercely, she followed behind Hui Ya, and watched the little girl slowly enter the courtyard, and went to one of the rooms where the lights were still lit, but she was careful for fear that others would find out, and doubts rose in her heart.
What the hell is this Huiya secretly going to do? (To be continued)
