Chapter 63: Shocking Horses
In a blink of an eye, on the first day of the ninth lunar month, the people of Wu'an Houfu were busy early in the morning.
Today, the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady will take several girls in the house to the Tiansheng Temple to offer incense, prepare carriages, escorts, and so on.
In Rongkang Courtyard, Chu Yunpeng, the fourth young master from the third room, was wrapped crookedly in the arms of the old lady, shouting that he was going too. He had just returned from his grandfather's house, and when he saw that his three elder brothers had never returned from Qingfeng Academy, he felt bored.
In addition to the long house, there are no sons, and there are two rooms in the second and third rooms. Although the youngest Chu Yunpeng was born to the Yang family, he still loves him for the sake of the old lady's love for her grandson, no matter what, this is also the grandson of the old lady.
"Isn't it good for Xiao Yunpeng to stay at home with his grandmother?" The old lady pinched his round little face and teased him lovingly.
Six-year-old Chu Yunpeng blinked his beautiful eyes and said, "My grandson likes to accompany my grandmother the most, so my grandson wants to go to the Tiansheng Temple with my grandmother." ”
He didn't say whether to stay or not, but only said that he wanted to go with the old lady, which successfully won the old lady's favor.
"Yo! Mama Qin, look at him, this little elf, is really getting better and better at talking! ”
Mama Qin also smiled and said, "Old lady, our fourth young master is really getting more and more intimate!" ”
Chu Yunpeng saw that the old lady was coaxed to be happy, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Grandmother, will you take your grandson with you?" I saw a mother-in-law in my grandfather's village who was very old, but she was still working every day, and she looked very energetic! The mother-in-law still said that she didn't move for a day, she was tired, and if she moved, she didn't feel sick......"
Chu Yunpeng thought hard about the mother-in-law's words, and thought of what to say, but the old lady's heart moved when she heard it, and she really had the idea of going to the Heavenly Sage Temple.
When the old man was still there, he often told her to move appropriately every day to be good for her health. It's just that in recent years, there have been more and more things to worry about, and the old master is no longer there, so she gradually stopped thinking about it.
Now she also clearly feels that her body is indeed not as good as before.
"Mama Qin, go and talk to the Xia clan and ask her to prepare an extra carriage."
Mama Qin was a little surprised: "Old lady, do you really want to go?" ”
When Chu Yunpeng heard that the old lady had decided to go to the Tiansheng Temple, he cheered happily!
"Great! Grandmother and grandchildren can go with grandmother! ”
The old lady glanced at him with disgust and said with a smile: "You kid, Tiansheng Temple is not a place to play. When you go there, you have to be obedient, and you are not allowed to walk around, otherwise you will ......."
Chu Yunpeng immediately hugged the old lady's arm and said obediently: "Grandmother, I will be very well-behaved!" ”
Seeing that he was obedient, the old lady glanced at Mama Qin and said, "Go and pack your things!" ”
Seeing that the old lady had made up her mind, Mama Qin hurriedly went out, and on the one hand sent someone to inform the eldest lady, and on the other hand, she arranged for Hongying to pack up the old lady's things. Because it was a temporary decision to go out, for a while, several maids were a little in a hurry.
Because of the old lady's group, the carriage originally prepared was a little insufficient, and in the end, Chu Peijin was arranged by the Xia family in the last carriage and squeezed together with a few maids. Chu Peijin has no opinion on this, isn't it just a carriage, when she doesn't put a few more layers of embroidery piers in the car, what's the matter?
In the stunned eyes of a few maids, Chu Peijin sat comfortably on the three or four layers of thick embroidery piers prepared for her by Cuizhu, and opened the curtains to look at the scenery outside, how comfortable it was to be as comfortable as it was! This embroidery pier was still the last time she came back from outside, she told Cuizhi to do it, so that she would not be so guilty when she rode in the carriage!
In fact, Chu Peijin would like to make something similar to a sofa chair and install it on the carriage, but unfortunately, with her current status, she is not qualified to own her own carriage.
As soon as she got out of the city gate, Chu Peijin saw what it meant to be busy!
Tiansheng Temple is one of the largest temples in the vicinity of the capital, and I heard that there is also a monk who has attained the Tao to sit in meditation, so it attracts many pilgrims, especially the nobles in the capital.
Because of the narrow road, the carriage that Chu Peijin and the others were riding gradually opened a distance from the carriage in front, but no one cared.
Therefore, when there was no one in front of or behind their carriage, Chu Peijin realized that something was wrong! She glanced at Cuizhu and Cuizhi, and the two little maids who followed the fifth and sixth girls, none of whom had ever looked outside the carriage like she did, so they didn't know anything about the situation outside.
The carriage was still moving forward unhurriedly, and Chu Peijin recalled that the coachman who glanced at him when he got on the carriage was a young man with a very ordinary appearance, and she asked herself that she had never had such a person in her memory. So, is this situation related to him or not?
Just when Chu Peijin was not sure whether he was in danger, he quickly caught up with a carriage after them. Listening to the rapid sound of horses' hooves, Chu Peijin was inexplicably a little flustered.
"Everyone, help up!"
Chu Peijin let out a low roar, and grabbed the handrail in the carriage with one hand, and grabbed the window of the carriage with the other hand. Although the girls didn't understand what was going on, their natural survival instinct made them react quickly-
There was a loud bang, and their carriage was hit by the carriage behind them, and the force of the impact was so great that everyone was almost thrown out—if it hadn't been for the handrails beforehand.
"Wang Shun, what's going on?"
Cuizhu couldn't take care of himself anymore, and took advantage of this moment to yell at the coachman outside!
"Aunt, girl, the horse, the horse is shocked, how, how, how...... Do? ”
Outside, Wang Shun's frightened voice came into the car, making Chu Peijin wonder for a moment, could it be that this matter had nothing to do with him, and the carriage was really just an accident when it left the team?
"Find a way to get the horse to stop! Hurry—" Chu Peijin ordered loudly. Then he took advantage of the fact that the carriage was still stable and put his head out of the window and looked behind him. But they saw that the carriage that had struck them had fallen to the ground on its side, and the horse was struggling on the ground, and there was no driver or anyone around him.
It was premeditated! The purpose should be her, right? But why?
Chu Peijin's mind was full of questions, but she didn't have time to think about it at this time, because the coachman Wang Shun was already crying outside: "Girl, I'm ...... I can't control it, what should I do......" He wanted to leave the people in the car and jump out of the car to escape, but the speed was too fast for him to ......
