Chapter 20: Encountering a Lady on the Road
Although Li Luobing was grounded, there was an invitation from the Murong family, and Li Luobing went out the next day. She was going to Nanhua Temple to meet Mrs. Murong.
Because of Mrs. Murong's name, Li Luobing's life in the Li Mansion has saved a lot of worry and trouble, and she feels that she must treat Mrs. Murong well, knowing that she likes to worship Buddha, Li Luobing silently wrote a lot of popular Buddhist classic sentences, and planned to give them to Mrs. Murong.
This time, the three of them still went to Nanhua Temple together, the carriage driver Luo Haibo, Qiao Su, and Li Luobing. Nanhua Temple is a mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, where the incense is very vigorous, and many dignitaries will come here to worship the Buddha. After all, it's a bit of a long way to go, and many people like to spend a night at Nanhua Temple and then come back. Of course, there are also quick horses, leaving in the morning and coming back in the evening, all of which are possible. It depends on the needs of the individual.
Because Li Luobing was invited by Mrs. Murong to go out. Before going out, it was also stipulated that she must come back at night. In order to be in a hurry, Luo Haibo threw the horsewhip fast.
Li Luobing and Qiao Su were very bumpy in the carriage, and the hair that Qiao Su combed for Li Luobing in the morning was messed up. Li Luobing directly scattered his hair.
"Miss, this doesn't make sense."
"What's so unreasonable? I'm inside the carriage, not outside. ”
The corners of Qiao Su's mouth twitched, this lady is not always ...... Miss Daughter's pattern? When she was sold, she was still trained as a maid and knew how to maintain the interests of the young lady. It's just, why is this young lady who serves by herself so strange?
She continued to persuade: "Miss, although we are in the carriage, we ...... You're a young lady, you have to keep your best appearance at all times......"
"Okay, okay, Qiaosu, stop nagging, isn't this just you and me in the carriage? And no one sees it, it doesn't matter. Don't nag me, I'm more comfortable like this. "What Li Luobing said is the truth.
When I went out this time, because I was meeting Mrs. Murong, the people of the Li Mansion asked Li Luobing to wear a lot of things on her head in order to prevent Li Luobing from losing face in the house, and her head was a few pounds heavier than usual. For a woman from modern times, modern headdresses basically have no weight, and suddenly go back to the ancient dynasties of a few catties on their heads.
Li Luobing felt that her scalp was torn by these headdresses, and she felt that her hair would become thinner and thinner in the future. Now that my hair is scattered, I feel that I am myself.
With a "phew", Luo Haibo stopped.
"Uncle Luo? What's wrong? Li Luobing asked.
"Miss, there's a carriage in front of you, it's broken down in the middle of the road!" The voice of the coachman Luo Haibo came from outside: "Let's be careful, it's okay to walk slowly." ”
Li Luobing paused, this ancient and modern are different, although the incense of Nanhua Temple is vigorous, but because it is far away, it is estimated that there will be large families to burn incense a few times a month, this carriage has a problem on this road, it is also fate to pass by, it is good to be kind to others, but I don't know, will this carriage be extortion? She opened her mouth and asked, "Uncle Luo, do you know where this carriage is?" ”
Uncle Luo is a carriage driver, he has long trained a pair of sharp eyes, the carriages of the big officials and nobles in the capital have their own markings, if he encounters the carriage of the big officials, he must pay attention to avoiding it, he replied: "Miss, it seems to be the carriage of the Hubu Shangshu." ”
"Then you go down and ask, do you need help?" Li Luobing lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage outside, just like his own carriage, it looked very ordinary. In any case, it is good to have a good relationship.
"Yes, Miss!" After Luo Haibo finished speaking, he walked up and asked the driver of the car in front of him directly: "I am a descendant of Li Mansion in the capital, and my surname is Luo, I don't know if you need anything?" ”
"Hey!" The driver in front sighed, pointed to the wheels that had fallen into the ditch, and the beams on the carriage that were a little cracked, and he said helplessly: "Master Luo, I don't know what's going on with this car, it's broken, and I can't go anymore...... It's a lady in this carriage again, and now I don't know what to do with the things that Mrs. explained? ……”
The two chatted for a while and exchanged some information, and Luo Haibo came back to report to Li Luobing: "Miss, the carriage of the Hubu Shangshu family in the car." Inside, a maiden and an old grandmother, they are now walking towards the nunnery. ”
Plain nunnery? Li Luobing and Qiao Su in the carriage glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were full of surprise, indeed, this road has been walking, and it is not far from the fork in front of it, which is the place to go to the nunnery.
Li Luobing remembered that he was betrayed by the maid Kumquat at that time, and after making a big noise in front of the Li Mansion, he was told by the old lady to send him to the Nunnery Nunnery. That place, but the women's prison in the high-level of Mingyue Country, where did the women who went to live either go crazy or die after three or five years, and not many people could live intact.
In this Wei Shangshu Mansion, who is sent to this place? No matter who you are, if you go to that place, you are basically dead, and there is no return.
"Uncle Luo, you went back to them, told me my name, said that I invited them to my carriage, said that I went to Nanhua Temple, and let them come to Nanhua Temple to pick up people at that time. Just let the coachman go back to repair the car, or notify Wei Shangshu, and I will take the people in the carriage away. ”
"This ......," Luo Haibo hesitated.
"Miss!" Qiao Su also wanted to stop it.
"Go ahead!" Li Luobing commanded decisively.
She felt that this ancient was very inconvenient, if it weren't for the fact that women couldn't go out casually, she didn't need Uncle Luo to pass the word at all, she would go up directly to talk to the other party, don't let Uncle Luo pass the word again and again because of a trivial matter.
Uncle Luo went this time and didn't come back for a long time, Li Luobing opened the curtain of the car and looked ahead, Uncle Luo seemed to be talking to the people in the carriage, and the other party was unwilling.
Li Luobing didn't want to wait any longer, so he said goodbye to the hair on his head with a hairpin, and walked straight out and walked forward.
"Miss!" Qiao Su didn't expect Li Luobing to act like this, and she also followed down worriedly.
She found that she really had to change her mind, after all, the young lady she was following now was indeed bold and reckless, and she was eclectic.
Things look very out of place and uninhibited.
But it is precisely this Li Luobing who will accept his current self.
Li Luobing walked straight to the carriage and raised his voice to ask, "Meet Li Luobing from the Li Mansion in Sangui Lane, Taohuawu Street, East of the Capital City!" ”
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
Qiao Su thought that his own young lady was a threat, right? The people in this carriage were sent to the plain nunnery, of course, they made a mistake, and the young lady also reported to the house, no matter what, the people inside didn't dare to offend their own young lady, right? Miss Special is also the daughter of an official family.
The young lady is really wise......
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Goo-dong!"
Two strange noises came from the carriage.
Everyone was wondering what was going on inside, only to see the carriage curtain lifted, and a woman in her forties who looked like an old woman walked down, and said with a smile on her face: "I am the next person next to Mrs. Shangshufu, my surname is Wei." I thank Miss Li for lending a helping hand to us. It's just that we'll fix the carriage ourselves, and we'll just wait here. ”
"This road is so wide, your carriage is careful, you can still pass, what about us, we won't delay Miss Li, you will go to Nanhua Temple to offer incense."
This Mama Wei looked like she had a smile on her face, and when she said it, she didn't have much respect for Li Luobing, and she clearly didn't take Li Luobing in her eyes.
"Knock knock!" As soon as Mama Wei's words fell, there was a thumping sound from inside the carriage.
Everyone was wondering, could it be that this carriage was filled with animals? It was like the sound of flesh banging on the walls of a carriage.
As soon as this voice fell, Mama Wei's face changed: "Everyone, I don't need your help!" Please come back. "The tone is very harsh.
Li Luobing looked at it like this, there was definitely a problem in the carriage, looking at this Mama Wei's attitude, she was dissatisfied in her heart, she originally wanted to come to do a good deed to help, but she didn't admit to treating it like this. She also became angry instantly, and glanced at Mama Wei coldly: "Okay, it seems that you want to spend the night here, I kindly warn you, be careful to attract wild beasts!" Qiaosu, let's go! ”
As soon as Li Luobing turned around, he heard "grunt" and "smack!" A few voices came. The sound of something rolling out of the carriage and slamming to the ground.
Turn your head to look.
It turned out to be a woman of about fifteen years old, and she rolled out of the carriage. This scene surprised everyone.
Li Luobing was also very surprised and glanced at the people on the ground.
The man's hands and feet were tied all over his body, and even his mouth was sealed. His hair was messy, his face was still scarred, his apricot eyes were pleading, and he looked up at Li Luobing with a painful expression on his face.
Li Luobing gasped: This person ...... It was actually Li Luobing, who came over and had a short comradeship with herself, this woman ...... At that time, I also helped myself intercept other women, but she recognized herself at the time, but she didn't know her.
"Mama Wei, whether you agree or not, I will definitely take this person away today. Qiaosu, untie this young lady and help her up. ”
Qiao Su was very clever and stepped forward to untie the person.
"Miss Li, this is not ......" Mama Wei hurriedly jumped out of the car and wanted to hinder Qiaosu, but Li Luobing stepped forward to stop Mama Wei: "Don't move, if you dare to hurt me, Madam Murong will definitely not spare you." ”
