Chapter 350: Saving Beauty
The little nun in charge of the reception was very anxious, hurriedly ran to the master to get the key, opened the second door, and led the servant of the distinguished guest into the inner courtyard to look for the dog.
Zhou Mingfang's things have been packed up and piled up in the yard, and the servants saw a large group of people, lest they lose their things, and the most important thing is that the agreed shoulder has also arrived, and Miss Zhou originally took the shoulder to the bottom of the mountain, and replaced it with her own carriage to go home, now, should she go or not?
Zhou Mingfang was very assertive, and while ordering the servant to salute well, he closed the door and waited in the house with the maid.
The people who raised their shoulders were in a hurry, they were waiting here, and they were delayed in making money.
Miss Zhou's maid instructed through the window: "Give the master who carries the sedan chair double the money, and let them wait for a while." β
The sedan chair driver immediately stopped arguing, and he could get money without effort, where could he find such a good thing?
The noblewoman's dog was caught, and the nuns sent them away, and then drove out the men who had broken in, and watched them descend the mountain, and then turned back and reported to Miss Zhou: "They are all gone." β
Miss Zhou felt that things were not so simple, she sent someone to check at the bottom of the mountain, and made sure that there was no one, so she sat down on her shoulder, and then smoothly got into her carriage and walked in the direction of the capital.
In the past, Miss Zhou never felt that there was anything wrong with this Zhulin Temple, it was pure, there were few people, and the nun master was a master who was proficient in Buddhism, she copied Buddhist scriptures, ate vegetarian food, and sometimes talked about Buddhism with the master, and the days were very quiet, but today, she suddenly found a problem, a big problem, that is, the Zhulin Temple is a little far away from the capital, so far that she has walked for a long time, and has not entered the city.
If you don't enter the city, there are not many people on the road, there are no soldiers and soldiers who patrol the city, usually, she hates them the most, bullying the weak, but today, she keeps praying, hoping that those people will appear soonββ, see their figures, she will be safe, Miss Zhou regretted a little, regretted that she did not implement her second plan just now - send someone home, let her father send a few more homes in the house to pick her up.
Sure enough, what are you afraid of, at the intersection of Shangguan Road, the road is disconnected, who is so lacking in morality, digging a canal on the road, digging a canal and not looking at it well, so that the water overflows everywhere, and there is a long road that cannot be walked, what should I do?
"Big girl, either turn around and go another way, or, unload the carriage, lead the horses one by one, carry the carriage over, let Aunt Zhang carry you over, and we will go again."
Miss Zhou looked at the steward through the curtains, and said in her heart that you are so stupid.
"Go into the woods and cut some branches, spread them on the road, and the carriage will be able to pass."
"Oh, yes!" The steward was very helpless, so he had to nod his head and agree, complaining in his heart, girl, can't you be stupid? Boudoir girl, how can you even understand this.
They were busy when a carriage approached. The road in the village is narrow enough for only one horse-drawn carriage to pass through.
"Who are you? How to block the way! The woman who followed the car shouted loudly, she felt that her master, although he was not a very big official in the capital, was not small, and most of the people had to give way to them. She dared to shout like this, just to see that the other party was a very ordinary carriage, and there was no emblem of the family on the carriage.
"What's the matter? Didn't you see the carriage break? "The other party's tone is very bad, the carriage is broken, and he is not in a good mood.
"What's wrong, I see you deliberately braked here."
The person on the other side rolled his eyes and ignored her, but refused to drive the carriage away, and the person here was about to report the name of his master, and give the other party some color to see, and another carriage came from behind.
Miss Zhou was in the gap on the side of the curtain of the car window, and saw the word "Dong" hanging on the carriage behind her, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Sure enough, on the carriage of the Dong family, a well-appointed son came down, he commanded the servants very righteously, cut down the branches and spread them on the road, and stepped on the branches to walk over, righteously reprimanding the carriage that was blocking the road, asking them to step back and make way for Miss Zhou's carriage.
Miss Zhou's carriage finally got on the official road, she ordered the lady in charge of the car to thank Dong Gongzi, Dong Gongzi was very kind and easy-going and said nothing, he even walked to Miss Zhou's carriage and said very modestly to Miss Zhou.
No one noticed that on the side of the black carriage that was kicked away, there was a young man dressed very ordinarily, but his good appearance still fell into the eyes of Miss Zhou who was observing outside from the gap.
"I didn't expect more than one family to come over today." Miss Zhou thought to herself, although the death of her mother and grandfather delayed her life's events, but Miss Zhou has never been anxious and worried, how to live her life, in her heart, there is a charter, in this society, women always have to live dependent on men, but a good woman can also live the life she wants through men.
Finally saw the city gate, and there were more pedestrians on the road, Miss Zhou thought that today's ordeal had passed, but she didn't expect that at the last intersection in front of the city gate, they encountered something big. - A crazy carriage, the people in the carriage screamed and cried, the coachman was thrown to the ground, and the pedestrians around him took flight: "The horse is frightened! "The horse is shocked!"
The frightened horse took the carriage and rushed on the road, and suddenly, rushed straight towards the carriage where Miss Zhou was sitting, just because this was a girl's car, and the front of the car was hung with an octagonal sachet with colorful threads, and the color, especially the red, was the most likely to cause animal fear and irritability.
Everyone was stunned, Miss Zhou watched the servant woman who protected her screaming and fleeing for her life, and couldn't help but show a bitter smile, is she going to die here today? Miss Zhou, who has always thought that my fate is up to me, couldn't help but close her eyes in resignation. "Smack!" Just when everyone was helpless and screaming, a young man dressed in a black cotton shirt suddenly picked up the coachman's whip and came quickly, with a crisp sound, the whip was whipped on the horse's neck, and at the same time, he also desperately pulled the reins of the startled horse. The startled horse neighed, the hooves swayed restlessly on the ground, and finally panted and calmed down, passers-by breathed a sigh of relief, many people stretched out their thumbs to the young man, and the girl Zhou in the carriage couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and even recognized that he was the seemingly ordinary, but outstanding young man just now.
