Chapter 37: Missed
Turning the horse's head, Li Ji leaned down and slowly stretched out the horsewhip.
"Third grandma, are you alright?"
"Third grandma!"
……
Awakened by the heart-rending howl, and coming back to her senses, she didn't know where she got the strength, Wu's mother rushed over in a few steps, pushed away the whip that had touched the curtain of the carriage and pounced on the carriage, and her round body blocked in front of Li Ji's horse.
Hula, the maid who had already fled in all directions like a frightened bird didn't know where to get out of nowhere.
It was a carriage that was surrounded by water.
"Third grandmother, third grandmother......" shouted like a soul.
Feeling that the lost consciousness finally came back, Zhao Qing was afraid for a while.
A fine layer of sweat oozed from the back instantly.
Chunlan jumped out of the car just now, she wanted to jump after that, but it was just over three feet high from the ground, in her previous life, not to mention that the carriage was parked, even if it was galloping, she could also jump off unscathed...... It's a pity that she forgot that her delicate body like a daffodils was too disobedient, and the moment her blood surged and she was about to turn over and jump out of the car, she "crashed" without arguing.
Seeing Chunlan stretched out her hand hoarsely, she looked at her with tears in her eyes, begging her to come down quickly, come down quickly...... But she couldn't do anything!
If it hadn't been for the chivalrous man's righteous action, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to decisively cut off the horse's head, she would have died by now!
This time, it happened that someone was passing by.
What about next time?
What about the next time?
Even if she can meet a good person again, who can guarantee that he will have the skill and decisiveness of the chivalrous man just now?
As long as that chivalrous warrior just had the slightest hesitation, he would die today!
If she hadn't been too impulsive and irritable, if she had not been arrogant and impatient, she would have gotten up in order, taken steps, and calmly disembarked when the carriage stopped...... She has enough time to hide on the side of the road with Chunlan, at least she can take the initiative to grab a glimmer of life.
I will never watch the crazy iron hooves fall towards my head like I did just now, but I can't do anything about it!
At that moment, she was so helpless.
No, she must get rid of the fiery temper in her previous life, as long as she is not impulsive and doesn't want to be hot, her body will not crash.
Qingshan is not me, I will go to Qingshan.
No way, who calls himself empty with a strong will, but is tightly bound in this delicate body like a flower?
For the first time, Zhao Qing took the initiative to change his fiery temper. No matter how fierce and spicy she was in her previous life, no matter how strong she was, in this life, she also had to live according to the rules of the environment in which her body lived!
"I'm fine." The voice was always calm, Zhao Qing lifted the curtain, "Mother Wu will go first to thank the chivalrous man just now for saving him and ask him his name." "The grace of saving lives is like rebuilding, and when you go back, you must let the old lady thank you heavily.
Mother Wu then remembered the man in black who had just made a righteous move.
When I turn around, how can there be a figure?
I couldn't help but look around.
"They're there!" There is a mother-in-law with sharp eyes, and at a glance she sees a few fast horses that have walked far ahead.
"Huh......" Mother Wu raised her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that Commander Fu?" How did they meet...... Commander Fu seems to be ...... I'm afraid of him ......."
Following Wu's mother's gaze, Zhao Qing lifted the curtain and looked.
I saw that Commander Fu was rolling and jumping off the horse, and in a panic he bent down and saluted the man in black who had just rescued him, "...... general"
As soon as he shouted a word, he was dragged by Li Yuzhi and didn't let him bow down, "You don't have to be polite for ten thousand years, my seventh master is just passing by here, and he will leave immediately." ”
"Seven...... The Seventh Master ......" Fu Wannian's eyes were stunned.
Pseudonym Seventh Master, he ...... Did he come out of his own way?
Oh my God, the battle...... Once ...... That's a great crime to kill the head.
For a while, Fu Wannian's head was confused.
Who the hell is he?
Even Fu Wannian was so respectful to him?
Seeing Fu Wannian's trembling appearance, Zhao Qing's heart twitched, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Ji.
He is slender and slender, wearing a Buddha-headed green plain Hangzhou silk robe, black hair like ink, high nose bridge, clear and deep facial features as handsome as a knife carving, the golden sun shines on his body, and the whole person exudes a powerful king atmosphere.
Rao is Zhao Qing has read countless people in his previous life, and his heart can't help but be shocked.
Xu is the reason why he saved his life, and felt a hawk-like probing gaze shoot over, Zhao Qingxin immediately thumped twice, and she brushed down the curtain.
What am I afraid of?
As soon as he lowered the curtain, Zhao Qing regretted it.
After all, people saved their lives, and it stands to reason that when he saw it, he should greet him generously and take the initiative to show his gratitude.
How do you make it look like a little daughter who is pretentious?
What did she Zhao Qing do?
If it was seen by those iron buddies in the previous life, I don't know how to damage it.
Holding down his chest, which was still thumping, Zhao Qing despised himself fiercely in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, she generously lifted the half-rolled curtain of the torn car.
"Mother Wu......"
was about to beckon her to go over and keep that person, when Zhao Qing raised his head, how could there be a shadow of that person?
Only the commander of Fu is still standing in the wind......
Inexplicably, Zhao Qing was stunned.
*****
“…… Find out who saved her? Unconsciously, the eldest lady crushed a freshly picked orchid in her hand.
It's already a mortal situation, but a stunned blue appeared out of the sky!
After some careful calculation, it was put into practice.
She's so unwilling!
"As soon as I heard that Commander Fu knew him, the eldest master went to the post house." Su's mother's voice trembled, "...... What kind of shit luck did she hit? "You can't die like this!
Rubbing the broken flowers in her hands, the eldest lady was speechless with a gloomy face.
Su's mother looked at her cautiously.
"The horse...... Guo Shun wants to die or live to make the slave's family pay for it. ”
For ordinary people, a strong horse is all their belongings.
"It's ...... to do such a thing," the eldest lady stared at her.
Before he finished speaking, a little maid knocked on the door and came in.
“…… The old lady invited the eldest lady to Eijudo. ”
plopped, as soon as the little maid went out, the frightened mother Su sat on the ground.
"How, how is this good?"
The old lady must have come to Xingshi to ask for her guilt!
If Zhao Qing dies this time, it's okay, the old lady and the second wife have no hope, because of the prestige of the big house, knowing that they did it, they dare not be angry, now that the person is not dead, in order to ensure that there will be no next time, the old lady will definitely be strictly investigated...... Once it is found out that they have murdered their relatives...... The old man can't save their master and servant!
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, Su's mother's wrinkled old face was as gray as a dead man.
"What are you afraid of?" The eldest lady shouted.
"Old Lady ......"
"What can she do if she has no evidence?"
"But Guo Shun's family ......"
"Give!" The eldest lady gritted her teeth fiercely, "Double the compensation for his silver!" "If you have money to make a ghost grind, you don't believe that the silver can't seal his mouth!
……
And Zhao Qing was frightened and leaned softly beside the old lady like a rabbit.
Seeing her delicate and powerless appearance, the old lady felt inexplicably distressed, and reached out to take the bird's nest porridge served by Qingmei and fed her personally, "...... Drink some hot porridge to suppress the shock. ”
"The granddaughter-in-law will come by herself." How dare you let the old lady feed, Zhao Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand.
The old lady pushed her hand away.
"You carefully smashed my jade bowl."
Is it that exaggerated?
Zhao Qing subconsciously looked at her wrist like a reed stick, it was thinner, but she could bend the copper chopsticks with the thickness of her little finger, only few people in this mansion knew about it.
It was just that she had such a rare opportunity to get close to the old lady, so she deliberately made a frightened appearance to win sympathy.
In the past month, she has tried her best, but the old lady has done everything well, and it is too difficult to get close to her to break the ice between the two, such an opportunity is really rare.
However, is she pretending to be too big?
Hearing the laughter of the little maid, Zhao Qing's face turned red to the root of his ears.
As soon as the eldest lady entered the house, she saw such a picture of filial piety and happiness of mother and son.
My heart suddenly felt like a pinprick in my heart.
Thinking about herself, the old lady has always kept a distance from Zhao Qing, and she is unmoved to deliver porridge today and vegetables tomorrow.
Now, it's upset!
let Zhao Qing sit on the big kang by the window, and personally fed the porridge and drank it...... Is this a demonstration to her?
But what could she say?
Everything was her own doing.
Today, even if there is no evidence, with the shrewdness of the old lady, she can guess that she did it, but she can't be convicted.
"Old lady......," she cried bitterly.
Without words, the old lady held a crystal clear white jade bowl and fed Zhao Qing bird's nest porridge.
In an instant, Zhao Qing understood the old lady's mind.
With a sour feeling in his heart, Zhao Qing didn't shirk anymore, and obediently drank it from the old lady's hand.
The silence of the house and the tomb is like a wilderness.
The little girl tiptoed out, and only Qingmei Huamei was still trembling and holding her breath and standing quietly by the kang with a tray of black lacquer painted gold magnolia flowers.
It wasn't until Zhao Qing drank the last sip and put the bowl back on the tray that the old lady raised her head.
“…… What the hell is going on? Her voice was rarely excited, "In the mansion for more than ten years, Zhu Gui is also an old master, how can he actually put the carriage across the road and be a target alive?" Look, scare the kid! And ......," the old lady breathed, "those maids, don't you know what they do?" None of them stepped forward to help the third grandmother get out of the carriage! As she spoke, the old lady's eyes turned red, "If this kid has three longs and two shorts today, how can I be worthy of Huaiyu under the spring." ”
The eldest grandmother and the fourth grandmother have given birth to three or four great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters for you, and I have never seen you so nervous!
It seems that she has eaten a young girl who has just been twisted, and the eldest lady is miserable.
"Fortunately, the third grandmother is blessed with a great life, and the mother and son are safe, otherwise the daughter-in-law will be responsible for her death." She said against her will.
The old lady's face was slightly pale.
The eldest lady changed her words.
“…… It was the horse of Guo Shun's family in the east of the town that was frightened by firecrackers, and I heard that it scared the third grandmother of our house, and Guo Shun immediately brought something to make amends. Guo Shun entered the house as soon as possible, but it was not to make amends, but to ask for compensation, and the eldest lady was panicked without blushing or beating, "Mother Su saw that his horse was dead, and she was also pitiful, so she wanted to forget it...... Scared the third grandmother like this, the daughter-in-law didn't dare to make her own decisions, old lady, ...... you look," she discussed frankly, "Do you want to call Guo Shun here, and you can ask in person?" ”
