Chapter 227: The Dragon Raised Its Head
Zhang Jinwen still declined the proposal to go out, just after the first month, the temperature in the mountains is still relatively low, the grass and trees have not yet budded, and it is too early to go out.
In order to avoid the two ladies being wordy, Zhang Jinwen took the opportunity to say a few words about the general situation of Zhongnan Mountain, wanting to dispel Mrs. Ji's interest: "The long insect and wild bears that have hibernated for a season have slowly begun to wake up, and they can be seen at any time on the mountain road. ”
Mrs. Ji is not afraid, and has already said: "Don't be afraid, I'll take a few more people, don't talk about those reptilian beasts, even if there are bandits, they can't get close to us by half a step." ”
Mrs. Qi also joined in the fun: "Exactly, Lord Ji will definitely send a few skilled martial artists to follow, so I'm not afraid!" ”
"There are still patients in Qianjintang, I have to stay here and guard."
"Let's go out now, don't go far, I'll step on a stone on the edge of the mountain, and I'll follow you back, and it will definitely not be dark when I enter the city."
Under Mrs. Ji's repeated assurances, Zhang Jinwen had to reluctantly agree.
When she arrived at the city gate, Zhang Jinwen found out that Ji Tong had been waiting in the long pavilion ten miles outside the city gate with their seven knights.
In a few days, the Beijing will release the list, and everyone will no longer be carefree students.
Ji Tong and them went out of the city gate as soon as dawn, rode a horse at the foot of the mountain and played all morning, at this time they were all in the long pavilion, while sweating, while waiting for Mrs. Ji and her party.
The little guy was fast-legged, and when he saw Mrs. Ji's carriage at the city gate, he took off and ran to the long pavilion to report the news.
Zhang Jinwen and the others went out to drive three carriages, as well as more than a dozen guards, plus Ji Tong and them, and suddenly turned into a lively convoy, marching towards Taiyi Mountain.
Ji Tong tightened the reins, slowed down the horse, followed Zhang Jin's carriage, and greeted in a low voice: "Little lady Zhang, do you want to come out and ride a horse?" ”
Zhang Jinwen lifted the curtain on the car window and looked at Ji Tong with a smile: "Ji Gongzi, don't run away today!" ”
Ji Tong smiled embarrassedly: "Don't run the horse, just walk like this." The city was stuffy, and when I came out, I was in a much more cheerful mood. Little lady Zhang, I was stuffy in the car, you really didn't try horseback riding? ”
"I'd better sit in the car." Zhang Jinwen politely declined again: "Mrs. Ji's heart is a little stuffy, Master Ji will go over and take a look." ”
Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Bai took the same car, and soon after leaving the city gate, she asked her mother-in-law to find Zhang Jinwen to get the medicinal oil once.
Ji Tong knew that this was another mother's little trick, so he didn't say anything, smiled and hit the horse forward, and when he arrived at Mrs. Ji's carriage, he raised his voice and said, "Mother, what discomfort do you have?" Do you want to ride a horse for a while? ”
In the carriage, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Ji glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Mrs. Ji just wanted to try her son's mind, but before she could find anything, she was first recognized by her son, frowned, covered her heart, snorted twice through the curtain, and said weakly: "Son, my heart is up and down, and I don't know if it's a bump in the carriage, otherwise, I'll get out of the car and walk a few steps, and you accompany me?" ”
Ji Tong looked back and forth, and replied: "Okay, mother, walk a few miles further, it is Wangjun Pavilion, where the terrain is open, you can come down and take a walk, or ask Little Lady Zhang to take a look at you." ”
The various gates of Chang'an City come out, and they are all five miles and one short pavilion, and ten miles and one long pavilion.
There are a lot of people coming and going on the post road, most of them are pawn traders who come out to the suburbs to pick wild vegetables and fresh young leaves to sell in the city market.
After the first month, the weather warms up, and there are more vendors on the post road.
In the pavilion, there are people sitting in it to rest their feet at any time.
Ji Tong sent the little servant to the Wangjun Pavilion in front, vacated the place, cleaned it up, and when Mrs. Ji arrived, she could get out of the car and sit for a while, look at the scenery, and drink hot tea.
In order to trade with the Western Regions, the emperor will send additional people to repair the post road every year.
Zhang Jin's carriage walked very fast, and they arrived at Wangjun Pavilion in less than two quarters of an hour.
On the stone table in the pavilion, the little guy had already boiled a pot of boiling water and put the food box on it.
Ji Tong stood by Mrs. Ji's carriage, stretched out his arm to give Mrs. Ji a hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, I haven't seen you for a day, and she looks as radiant as Little Lady Zhang." ”
Mrs. Qi's son Qi Yuezhi also followed, waiting by the carriage to support his mother, and when he heard this, he glanced at Mrs. Ji, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Jinwen, one arm was in the air, and Mrs. Qi stretched out her hand twice and couldn't reach it.
Ji Tong caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yue, hurry up and support your mother!" ”
Qi Yuezhi smiled, put his arm around Mrs. Qi, and stepped off the carriage.
Wangjun Pavilion is not big, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qi pulled Zhang Jinwen into the pavilion and sat down, and the rest of the people stood outside the pavilion, moving stools, boiling water, building pergolas, laying a piece of linoleum on the ground and sitting down to rest, occupying the Wangjun Pavilion around a tight area, and no matter how many people on the road wanted to get close to Wangjun Pavilion, they couldn't get together.
The seven heroes of Guozijian stepped forward to greet Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qi, and took the opportunity to greet Zhang Jinwen.
Zhang Jinwen is very unaccustomed to the hairpin and skirt on her head, this is the first time she has gone out in women's clothes, which can be regarded as dressing up, for convenience, she had to bring Chunlan with her.
Sitting in the carriage, she has been paying attention to the movement outside the car, and the more she thinks about it, the more she regrets that she shouldn't have listened to Mrs. Ji's words and shouldn't have gone out with her.
Although there are many people around this time, it will not have any impact on her reputation.
However, it is only when Mrs. Ji's mother and son travel together that it is easy for others to misunderstand.
No matter what, she has always lived for more than ten years, and there is nothing she doesn't understand about Mrs. Ji's mind at this moment.
Ji Tong and a few of them often come out, and they are still relatively familiar with this area.
Ji Tong volunteered to lead the way: "Mother, Aunt Qi, Little Lady Zhang, the forest in front, walk a hundred steps inside, there is a small pool, the scenery is extremely beautiful, do you want to go over and have a look?" Relieve the sulk? ”
A small waterhole? Zhang Jinwen raised her eyebrows, she walked on this post road many times, why didn't she know that there was such a place?
Mrs. Ji stretched out her hand and pulled Zhang Jin's arm: "Jin'er, let's go over together." As soon as I see you, my heart will not be bored. ”
Mrs. Ji was familiar with herself, and after living in Qianjintang, she began to call Zhang Jin'er and Jin'er, saying that this was kind.
Zhang Jinwen could hardly refuse such an enthusiastic overture, after she heard Aunt Zhang talk about her biological mother, she faintly had an imagination of her mother, a noble lady like Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qi was very much in line with her expectations for her imaginary mother, and she was happy to accept their nickname for her.
