Chapter 14 The Road Encounter
The car was still spacious after sitting her and the white peach peach, the car was surrounded by a thick woolen carpet, and black bearskin mattresses were spread all over the body, and four white long-haired rabbit skin mats were spread on the leather mattress.
Hua Jin couldn't help but touch the plush rabbit fur cushion under his body.
In the center of the carriage there is also a small table of plum blossom and vermilion lacquer with drawers, several teapots and tea utensils, and there are needles and threads, handkerchiefs, target mirrors, rouge gouache and ivory combs and other gadgets commonly used by boudoir women.
Listening to the sound of ruts, Hua Jin had to admit that although this ancient carriage was gorgeous, it was the slowest means of transportation she had ever ridden.
This time to Zhuangzi in Anyang Town, the drive took about three hours, and Luo arranged a total of four carriages.
The first one sat his brother Hua Chen, the second one sat Hua Jin, and the two cars that followed behind sat the maid and the woman and loaded some items, and there were more than a dozen nurses and servants riding horses around the carriage.
Hua Jin lifted the corner of the window, revealing a small gap, and saw that his brother's carriage had turned out of Taiping Lane, where Zhangfu was located, and his own car followed closely.
Although the ancient buildings coincide with the memory, Huajin has to admit that this is indeed a strange world.
Putting down the window fence, Hua Jin leaned on the carriage, couldn't help but glance at the two maids beside him, and remembered that there was still something to explain.
"White peach, peach." She called, "What do you think about the assignment just now?" ”
Because of Lingxiang's arrival, she has the opportunity to reshuffle the cards in her house, but do the two people she wants to rely on understand her intentions?
Bai Tao lowered her head slightly, "Girl, as long as Bai Tao has the opportunity to serve the girl closely, she will be content." ”
Hua Jin knew that Bai Tao was a very honest person, not good at talking, and Hua Jin always disliked her in the past. But she will never know who cried when she closed her eyes, and her eyes were red-eyed, and she was by her side day and night.
Hua Jin nodded and looked at Zhi Tao, knowing that she must have something to say.
Sure enough, Zhi Tao stirred the handkerchief with her hand, raised her eyelids and looked at her, "Girl......"
She had something to say, but remembering that the fifth girl always thought she talked too much, and she had just improved a little in the past two days, so she couldn't help but worry.
Hua Jin didn't force her, and said with a light smile, "You don't want to see if I have handed over all the important work to them, but to see who I have left by my side." ”
As soon as these words came out, Hua Jin saw that the expressions of the two maids were obviously more excited than just now.
Then he continued: "Whether it is the monthly silver or clothes and jewelry given by the public in my house, or the dowry of my mother on the surface, is my grandmother not clear, or does Luo not know?" ”
Then, she saw the more clever Peach with a clear expression of realization, "Girl, you mean ......"
"Since it's on the surface, let them take care of it."
At this point, she didn't say anything more, leaned her head against the carriage and closed her eyes, because the bump really made her feel uncomfortable.
A lot of things still have to be planned step by step.
Everything in the main room of Honghun Courtyard is as good as yesterday.
Luo went to Zhaohui Courtyard to invite An back, and Aunt Tong served Luo Shi for breakfast.
After Aunt Tong left, Yuping lowered her eyebrows and came over to serve tea, "Second lady, you drink tea." ”
Luo didn't take the tea, stared at Yuping's face tightly, and saw the mottled and ambiguous traces on her neck.
She struck Yuping's head with her hand, and the white jade Fusu flower hairpin fell to the ground and shattered in half, while the woman's head that had just been combed was scattered, and her long black hair was scattered.
In such a situation, Yuping was still holding the teacup tightly, and the hot tea overflowed, making her hands red, "Madam, it's a slave and a stupid maid, I hope Madame won't be angry." ”
Luo Che relieved the anger in his heart and waved his hand, "Go to Mother Du to get the medicine." ”
"Yes, Second Lady." Yuping bent down and kowtowed, trying to suppress the tears that were about to well-up in her eyes.
After having sex with the second master, she had to go to Du's mother to get a bowl of decoction.
She wasn't afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, she wanted to have a child with the second master......
Yuping got up and left the main room...... She thought that if one day the second lady could get a man in one fell swoop, then it would be her turn.
She should talk more about the good of her wife in front of the second master, Yuping thought so, and pulled her hair again, and felt that the bag on her head was already bulging, and it hurt slightly.
She held back the pain and told herself that she must help her wife leave the second master in Honghun Courtyard, so that she would have the opportunity to have a child of her own.
When Du's mother watched Yuping drink up a bowl of avoidance decoction, she came to the main room to report to Luo.
Mother Du first dismissed all the maids who served in the house, and then whispered to Luo: "Second lady, don't worry, I watched her drink it with my own eyes every time." ”
Roche nodded, his eyes wandering and his mind seemed to have been used for other things, "How's the arrangement over there?" ”
Mother Du showed a flattering smile at this time, "I have already sent someone to arrange it last night, and Mrs. can rest assured." With that, the smile turned dark.
…………
About an hour later, the carriage drove out of the city and onto the official road.
Hua Jin has been a little groggy from the bump, and has been leaning on the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Fifth girl, why don't you lie down and sleep for a while?" Bai Tao whispered in his ear.
Hua Jin didn't open his eyes, only shook his head, "No need, I'm afraid I'll be even more dizzy when I lie down." ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The sound outside the car was chaotic and noisy, and Hua Jin listened to the obviously increased sound of horses' hooves, and knew that they must have met someone.
Hua Jin opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were as translucent as washing.
Zhi Tao said: "Girl, the carriage has stopped, I don't know what happened outside?" ”
"Listen first." Huajin is still quiet.
The voices outside were high and low, and the carriage was wrapped in a thick car encirclement, and it was impossible to hear anything clearly.
Zhi Tao quietly embedded a gap in the window enclosure, and Hua Jin heard that the high-pitched voice was unfamiliar.
A moment later, someone outside the carriage gently knocked on the carriage, "Sister! Outside the curtain was my brother's voice.
Hua Jin's heart was slightly settled, she nodded, and Zhi Tao cautiously opened a gap in the car and poked her head out.
Bai Tao nervously put on the hat they brought in the carriage to Hua Jin.
"Brother, what's the matter with parking at this time?"
"Sister, we met a passer-by."
Hua Jin's brows jumped, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother, what kind of passers-by are you?" ”
"They said they were tenants from Anyang Town, who came out to the east to hunt in the woods."
Tenant winter hunting?
