(pink 942 plus)
Yi Yu didn't know how she slept at night, as if the crying outside had never stopped, just buzzing in her ears, she got up early and sat up from the bed with her sleepy hair on her head, rubbing her eyes to see that Li Tai was already standing on the edge of the bed and dressing.
"If you haven't slept well, lie down again," Li said.
Yiyu shook her head, and Pinghui walked in with a basin of water, squatting on the edge of the bed and putting on her shoes and socks.
"What happened last night?" Yi Yu lowered her head and asked her.
Pinghui smashed her mouth, showing some sympathy on her face, looked up at Li Tai, and saw that he didn't mean to stop it, so she whispered to Yiyu what she heard.
It turned out that the three cousins of the master and servant who stayed last night lived in the two rooms diagonally opposite their room, and the young lady's parents both died of illness, so according to the instructions of his father and mother before his death, he sold the family property and took a group of servants to the gate to join his uncle.
Along the way, it is inevitable to meet mountain bandits and robbers, and the servants are dead and wounded, leaving the young lady and the maid safe and sound.
"This Miss Song is soft-hearted, so she took the money out to help them, who knows that this big family is all things that eat people and don't spit out bones, thinking about the little expensive ticket money that Miss Song brought, and also made up the nonsense that she had a marriage contract with the second son in the family, oh, it was the one who followed them last night," Pinghui looked disdainful.
Yu Yu was confused, "Then why are they still traveling together, and where are they going?" ”
"Miss Song can't do it, their master and servant are under the fence, and a big family is planning to let her marry her cousin, she pretends to welcome her in order to get rid of the tiger's mouth, and says that there is still a field industry in her hometown, so that her mother's family allows her to go back, sell it, and the family is not worried about her, so they let that cousin follow their master and servant back to their hometown, who knows that last night they stayed, and that cousin had evil intentions," Speaking of this, Pinghui herself was disgusted first, "Master, such a filthy thing, the slave is afraid that it will dirty your ears if you say it." ”
Yi Yu nodded, and could guess that the cousin must have touched the lady's room at night.
"And what about them now?"
Pinghui pursed her lips, "Miss took the scissors to force the man back, he took someone's bags and ran away, and now there is no trace, Miss Song's master and servant lost the only remaining money, and cried in the house all night, and I haven't slept yet." ”
No wonder her ears were buzzing all night, and Yu Yu nodded, and asked again, "Where did you hear this?" ”
Pinghui's face turned red, and she bowed her head and said, "The slave got up early in the morning, so she went over and asked." ”
"So, that Miss Song told you personally?"
"And her maid Xi'er," Pinghui handed the wet handkerchief to Yiyu to wipe her face, and twisted, "Master, the two of them are strange and pitiful." ”
"It's quite pitiful," Yi Yu nodded, turned his face to the coldness in Li Tai's eyes, and said, "Wait a minute, you go and ask Zhou Ren to give them twenty taels of silver for the passage fee." ”
Ten taels of silver, the money outside can withstand flowers than Chang'an, and if it is saved by copper money, it should be enough to eat and live all the way, Pinghui happily responded, and when she washed, she walked out quickly with the basin, Li Tai did not say a word from beginning to end.
Yu Tong moved a table in out of nowhere, and Yu Yu and Li Tai had breakfast in the room, cleaned up, and was carried downstairs by Li Tai and sent directly into the carriage.
"The little girl Song Xinci, with the maid magpie, dare to ask Mrs. to see her, thank Mrs. for her help."
Zhou Ren rode a horse and rested beside the car, and said to the two masters and servants who were blocking the road on the side of the road, and said with a good temper, "Miss Song has this intention, and I will tell Madame in the next meeting, we are in a hurry, please give way." ”
"This woman has a reluctant request, and she needs to say it to her face to face with her and beg her to see her."
"Miss Song, don't be embarrassed," Seeing that there were already people on the side of the road to watch the excitement, Zhou Renban made a face, and if he could be on an errand in front of Li Tai, soft-heartedness was the most important, "We just met in Pingshui, if it is a reluctant invitation, don't say it, borrow it." ”
"Madam, please help Madame" The master and servant saw that they were not adults, so they simply knelt down on the side of the carriage, and saw that passers-by were pointing, and the chaotic chattering on the street was heard in the carriage.
Yi Yu leaned on Li Tai, with thought in his eyes, glanced at the man who was flipping through the book, and said outside through the curtain, "Zhou Ren, let her step forward and speak." ”
Ren waved his hand to signal several guards to disperse, and the pair of master and servant stumbled to the corner of the carriage, and did not dare to lift the curtain to cross over, only learning Beijing dialect in a dumb voice, stumbling and choking:
"My master and servant have fallen into a foreign land, and they have met a traitor, and they know that they should not trouble Mrs., but if we let us go on the road alone, we may meet that beast again, and the robbers along the way, Xu is even difficult to save their lives, ask Mrs. for sympathy, take our master and servant for a ride, great kindness, no retribution, just wait for one day to return to their hometown, burn incense and pray for the old lady on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, and ask Mrs. to be pitiful."
"How do you know we're on the same path?" Yi Yu asked, looking at Pinghui who was making tea in the corner of the carriage, and the maid quickly shook her head like a rattle, indicating that she didn't leak it.
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the little girl's family is in Yangzhou City, her father is a local outsider, and she has also seen some of the world, seeing that Mrs. Wagon has deep teeth, when it is to deal with the wet and slippery ground in the south, I guess that your party is also going south, if you are offended, the little girl apologizes."
"You're smart," Yi Yu took the flower tea that Ping Hui flattered and handed over, turned his hand and stuffed it to Li Tai, looked at him again, was silent for a moment, and instructed outside:
"Zhou Ren, arrange for the two of them to go and ride in a car with Pingxia and them."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness, thank you, Madame"
After a pause, two more people were brought with him, and the group of carriages and horses moved forward again.
"Master, the slave knows her mistake." Pinghui drooped her head.
"Tell me, then, what did you do wrong?" Yi Yu sat upright, pulled the hem of her skirt, and asked.
"If it weren't for the slave and maid gossiping in front of you in the morning, we wouldn't have gossiped in front of you," Pinghui muttered in a low voice, "Who knew that this Miss Song was so brutal, beating snakes and sticks." ”
"Wrong," Yi Yu stretched out his hand and poked her in the head, "You're not wrong here, I've told you a few times on weekdays, you have to use your brain in everything, and you don't want others to say anything, you should be what you are." ”
Seeing that Pinghui still couldn't react, Yi Yu didn't feel good and said, "Do you think the two of them walked all the way from Yangzhou to Guannei, and the entourage was almost dead and wounded, how much money can she have left, and she can be coveted?" If it is too much, then she has the heart to flee and take that cousin with her, and she will put the money close to her, so that people will not have no money for the journey after taking their bags, right? Also, even if the two of them have a marriage contract, it will not be a pair of master and servant with a big man and three people on the road, she told you those words in the morning, full of loopholes, just to trick you little fool to come to me to learn to speak. ”
Pinghui suddenly realized, blushed all of a sudden, and wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Li Tai was still in the car, so it was not easy to say, so he could only say to Yi Yu aggrieved, "Then you still let them go with you, and the slave maid will go and drive them away." ”
"Forget it, she is also trying to protect herself," Yi Yu said, her eyes were dyed with memories, and she turned her head to look at Li Tai's face with a relieved expression, "What's more, I did this kind of thing back then." ”
If it weren't for Song Xinci's sentence of "burning incense and praying for blessings", which reminded her of her past memories, she would never have taken care of this idle matter, and after experiencing an accident in the racecourse, her mentality was different from the past.
Hearing this, Li Tai handed the empty cup to Yi Yu, and spit out three words in a soothing tone, "It's different." ”
Back then, she rushed to stop his galloping carriage for help, how could she have the idea of self-preservation, and afterwards, their mother and daughter did not have the slightest intention of causing trouble to him, and they also planned to drive the ox cart into Beijing to find someone by themselves.
People are different after all.
At noon, the carriage and horses traveled to a forest, which was not in front of the village and there was no store in the back, so they could only stop for lunch, Pingxia and they also got out of the car to serve on the side of the jade, and Song Xinci and the magpie master and servant were left in the car, hesitated, Song Xinci planned to follow and get out of the car, the magpie hurriedly pulled her, and whispered a little nervously:
"Miss, where are you going?"
"I'm going to help, let's beg people on the way, we can't eat and drink for nothing," Song Xinci patted her hand to reassure.
The magpie licked her lips reluctantly, "The slave is going with you." ”
Three or four guards went into the forest to find water to eat, several people on the side of the road were lighting a fire and preparing to cook, Pinghui asked Yiyu about today's taste, got off the carriage to find the cook to explain, and was bumping into Song Xinci and magpie who got off the carriage, the little girl held a grudge, because they cheated her, they didn't give the two of them a good face, and glared at the past.
Song Xinci didn't know that Yu Yu had broken her mind, but when Pinghui was dissatisfied with them stopping the car, she stepped forward and said in a good voice, "Miss Pinghui, maybe the two of us can help?" ”
"What help, you're going to make a fire?" Pinghui didn't mean to embarrass her, but she was kind enough to be used and consciously nestled.
"Make a fire?" Song Xinci said embarrassedly, "I don't know this, but I will cook a few meals." ”
"Then it's even more unnecessary," Pinghui raised her chin and said disgustedly, "You haven't seen anything that my master can eat, let alone made it." ”
The magpie was already dissatisfied with Song Xinci's low voice to this slave, so she couldn't help but whisper, "What are you bragging, my young lady has eaten more than you have heard." ”
"Magpies are not allowed to talk nonsense."
"The slave is not wrong."
Pinghui didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned her head and went to the fire, the magpie was angry, so she pulled Song Xinci to follow, she had to see what they could do to fly in the sky and swim in the sea, which they had never seen.
How do you know that standing on the side for such a period of visitation, it is really stupid for the eyes of the two of them, the fresh fish fished out of the water cylinder, the arm is long, glowing with silver red phosphorus, is the carp so plump. The fresh meat unloaded from the car was still wrapped in a thin layer of ice, what was it used to store? A fist-sized yellow-skinned egg, is there such a big egg? What kind of vegetables are the green-headed and purple-core, and what kind of melons and fruits are red-skinned and white-fleshed?
Sure enough, not to mention eating, they haven't seen it before, so many ingredients, they can only barely recognize a rabbit that has just been beaten back from the forest.
"Cut," Pinghui saw that the two of them were stunned, stuck out her tongue at the magpie, turned her head and walked back, and muttered, "Tubaozi, just this little thing, my master can eat the same thing for a month." ”
Yiyu loves to eat vegetarian, in fact, she is very picky, Li Tai is used to it, as long as she can get off the spoon, the same kind of things, often let the house prepare more than a dozen things, just a simple vegetarian radish, that radish is more delicate than an orchid in someone's yard.
