A carriage suddenly came in front of the small tea house on the side of the road eighty miles outside Yongjing City, which was opened to young couples, and provided a place for passers-by to rest and rest.

Because this road leads to Yongjing, there are a lot of passers-by, and the young couple can be regarded as having increased their knowledge.

At this time, the sun was setting, and they were about to close their stalls and go home, but a carriage came leisurely in the distance.

The carriage stopped at the door of the tea house, and after a while, a grandmother of nearly fifty got out of the carriage, asked them for boiling water, made a few pots of tea, and inquired about the situation. Although the grandmother was dressed simply, it was still difficult to hide the luxury on her body. When the mother asked, the young husband and wife answered, and then looked at the carriage with only one coachman, and was a little worried.

"It's getting dark this day, Mama, you are few people, and there is no one to protect you, so let's find a place to stay for one night and then hurry."

"How far is this from the nearest town?" Mama asked.

The young couple also knew that they were coming out of Yongjing City, so naturally they would not go back, so they pointed to the road in the direction: "There is a town about ten miles to the south, if Mama is faster, she should be able to arrive before dark." ”

"Thank you!"

After thanking her, Mama returned to the carriage with three full water bladders, and the coachman nodded to the young couple who were looking at him, and then raised his whip and drove the carriage out of the tea house and drove quickly towards the south.

In the carriage, there was not only the grandmother, but also a woman about forty or fifty years old. Mama took out a cup of water from the drawer, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the woman, and then told the woman what the young couple in the teahouse had said.

Xu had something on her mind, but the woman seemed a little absent-minded, she didn't drink the cup, and asked leisurely: "Ah Ping, what do you say, what will be the situation after you arrive?" ”

These two people are like Ah Ping and the missing Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager also learned something from Yun Shumo's words, the person she was looking for was long gone, and all that was left now was future generations. I don't know what kind of psychology it is, she knows that she can't see the person she wants to see, but she still wants to go on this trip. If nothing else, it is better to see the man's grave and see the place where the man once lived.

Ah Ping didn't know what her master was thinking, and she sighed quietly, "No matter what, it's good to meet those juniors." ”

The Empress Dowager took out the jade pendant from her pocket, rubbed it gently, and her cheeks were gradually dyed with memories.

The Empress Dowager's surname is Lou, and her maiden name is Xue Yan, she is the younger sister of Knowles, and she is the youngest daughter of the king side by side, and Knowles is her eldest sister.

No one expected that the Knowles who had fallen into such a situation would have such a prominent background. I don't know if Hua Qi will regret it after he knows it. But none of this has anything to do with Hua Qi, what he is going to face is the revenge of Hua Yaozong or the Empress Dowager.

"I heard Yi'er say that the girl is a good one, and he is also very attentive to the girl, but this generation seems to be poor." Lou Xueyan frowned, Yun Shumo's love for her couldn't be hidden from her as a mother, and where did this jade pendant come from the girl's hands, Lou Xueyan was not stupid, so she naturally knew who her son liked.

But isn't this joy a little inappropriate?

Ah Ping smiled: "My madam, even if you think it's inappropriate, do you think the young master will listen to you?" What the young master decided was something we could hinder. ”

Hearing this, Lou Xueyan smiled helplessly, her son knew best, and as Ah Ping said, she couldn't shake the decision made by Yun Shumo. What's more, this is the first time Yun Shumo has been tempted, if she stops her, her son is afraid that he will hate himself.

When night fell, she finally arrived in the town, and Ah Ping chose a fairly good inn and opened two rooms, one for her and Lou Xueyan, and the other for the coachman. Then he told the lad to bring some hot water and food. Ah Ping waited for Lou Xueyan to take a bath and tested the poison of the dishes served to her one by one, and then waited for Lou Xueyan to eat.

Looking at the simple side dishes on the table, Lou Xueyan sighed with emotion: "I don't know if my sister also ate these and lived in this inn back then." ”

Ah Ping wanted to laugh when she heard this, every time she passed by a place and saw a landscape, Lou Xueyan would sigh, could it be that the eldest lady had come, and whether the eldest lady had also stayed here...... It's full of melancholy and nostalgia just like now. Ah Ping can understand her wife's feelings, after all, since the eldest lady ran away from home, the two sisters have not seen each other for more than ten years, Lou Xueyan thinks about her all the time, even if she married into the palace instead of the eldest sister back then, she has no complaints.

People who have not heard from him for decades finally have news, and anyone else will be excited.

"Madam, I'm afraid the situation of the eldest lady back then was not as good as ours." Ah Ping thought about it and said, Lou Xuekite was an escape from marriage back then, so naturally it was impossible for her to rush so blatantly, and the situation could not be so comfortable, it could only be worse.

Lou Xueyan naturally thought of it, and looked at the side dishes on the table and had no appetite for a while. The dishes on the table are really simple, stir-fried pork slices with pickles, a seasonal vegetable, and a few cakes. If Lou Xueyan couldn't even eat these back then, then Lou Xueyan couldn't think about what kind of life her eldest sister was living.

"I don't want to eat it, so let's quit." Lou Xueyan waved her hand.

"Madam, if you don't eat, your body can't stand it!" Since leaving the palace, Lou Xueyan has become more sentimental, and Ah Ping has also gained experience after more times, and she is also very easy to deal with, "I think the eldest lady doesn't want to see you exhaust your body for her, right, let's eat some." ”

In the end, Lou Xueyan still listened to the persuasion, ate some more or less, and went to bed. Ah Ping tucked the corners of the quilt for her wife, checked some of the things she had brought with her, and sorted out the ones that were missing, and they needed to be repurchased tomorrow. When he was done, he slept on a small bed in his room.

Early the next morning, Ah Ping settled down Lou Xueyan and went to the street to buy what she needed, and by the way she bought some dry food. Ah Ping tasted one, and the taste and shape were chic. She bought some and gave Lou Xueyan a fresh taste on the way.

When she went back to buy it, Ah Ping remembered that when the prince sent the dim sum before, the shape was not the same as the one she bought. And this girl surnamed Hua in the southeast is probably the person they are looking for on this trip!

Ah Ping went back to the inn and talked to Lou Xueyan about it, Lou Xueyan heard that the girl made the dim sum recipe public, and she was stunned at first and then relieved. In her heart, she was even more satisfied with Hua Qingyan, and she also understood the truth of her guilt, but she didn't expect Hua Qingyan to be so open-minded.

Lou Xueyan smiled and looked forward to the meeting in the future.

Because they were not in a hurry, Lou Xueyan and Ah Ping planned to stay in the town for another night, and then rush to the next big city when they had enough rest. Ah Ping was persuading Lou Xueyan to let her go to the town for a walk, and there was a commotion downstairs. Ah Ping was shocked and thought that the palace had sent someone to escort them back to Beijing, but she didn't expect to take a look at the staircase again, but she saw a man and a woman arguing.

And the man and the woman were none other than Le Yao and Shang Youyang.

"Shang Youyang, you've followed all the way, what do you want to do!" Le Yao frowned, obviously impatient, and didn't want to entangle with Shang Youyang any longer.

Le Yao came out to look for Hua Qingyan, and she pestered Hua Qingyan for a long time before she learned Hua Qingyan's whereabouts from him. She was tired of the smoky Yongjing City, and she wanted to see her friends, so she didn't bring anyone with her, and secretly packed up her things and went out of the city. Unexpectedly, I met Shang Youyang who was returning from Zhuangzi outside the city halfway.

As soon as this person saw Le Yao, he automatically stuck up, first asked Le Yao where he was going, Le Yao didn't say anything, he kept following, and he nagged to persuade Le Yao to go back, saying that it was inappropriate for the girl's family to be alone outside, what was there and so on.

Le Yao ignored him, he just followed him all the time, it was endless.

Shang Youyang frowned, with a concerned expression: "Miss Le Yao, you better go back with me, it's always bad for a girl who hasn't left the pavilion to show her face outside." Why wouldn't the girl be happy to think about it? ”

"What's the matter with you? Miss Ben can go wherever she wants, and it's not your turn as an outsider to take care of it! Le Yao clenched her fist and couldn't wait to smash it on Shang Youyang's face! She glared at Shang Youyang, then ignored him anymore, and let him put on an injured look, and was indifferent, "Shopkeeper, didn't you say that there is still a room, I want it!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Shang Melodious, and he couldn't figure out the relationship between the two. But if there are customers who come to do business, they will naturally not be pushed out, so he hurriedly registered, and then called the young man to lead Le Yao upstairs to find a room.

"Eh, Le Yao!" Seeing that Le Yao was leaving, Shang Youyang unwillingly reached out and wanted to grab her, but was dodged by Le Yao.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear the shopkeeper say that there was only one room? Le Yao glared at him, "Why do you still want to live with me?" Shang Youyang, who do you think Miss Ben is? Who do you think of yourself? I can tell you, you don't want to have anything to do with my family in your life! Even the flower family can't be! ”

Saying that, Le Yao no longer took care of businessmen and went upstairs by herself, leaving only an arrogant back for everyone.

Le Yao's words are not light, and he understands people a little. The eyes of the resting people in the hall of the inn couldn't help but focus on Shang Youyang, with inquiry and contempt.

I didn't expect such a handsome son, but he wanted to climb to a girl's house and rise to the top from now on? This is too unmotivated! And listen to what that girl means, this boy has also pestered other girls? Tsk, it's shameless!
