Chapter 141: Ximen welcomes Jia Cong's return to Beijing
It's getting dark.
The goose-feathered snow also stopped.
When he had just arrived, Xue Baochai had already prepared a carriage in the mansion, and he had changed into a fox fur and cloak, preparing to go out to meet Jia Cong at the gate of Xicheng.
It's just that I changed into the outfit for going out.
A little maid came to report, saying that Lin Daiyu had brought the maid over.
As soon as I entered the door.
Seeing Xue Baochai who was neatly packed, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "I know that you will definitely go to greet Brother Cong, I rushed over early in the morning, it's not too late, right?" ”
"Use me as an excuse again," Xue Baochai smiled and glanced at Daiyu, "If you don't want to greet him, even if you go back, you can sleep again." ”
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu's face turned red, but she didn't say anything more.
Apparently I guessed what I was thinking!
Then, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh......
That's it.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai took a few maids, sat in a large blue-curtained carriage with the seal of Zhongyong Bofu, and went straight to the West City Gate under the escort of a group of personal soldiers and servants.
The rest of the maids and maids followed closely behind in the other two carriages.
West City Gate.
By the time Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came here, the sun had already climbed into the air with difficulty.
At this point, the snowflakes stopped.
But the air after the snow is a few minutes colder than when it falls.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were surprised that in such a cold and cold wind, a small tea shop was actually set up at the gate of Xicheng, selling tea to passers-by for breakfast.
Ordered the coachman to pull over the carriage to the side of the tea shop.
Xue Baochai then took the silver and ordered the servant to send it over, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare enough water to ward off the cold for the accompanying maids and servants to take it.
In the carriage, pieces of silver frost charcoal were added to the stove, and in a short time a wave of heat rose, and the carriage instantly became much warmer.
That's it, Daiyu Baochai and his entourage stayed at the tea shop at the intersection, quietly waiting for Jia Cong to return to Beijing.
Time passed slowly.
From time to time, there were people and vehicles passing by at the gate of the city, and during this period, some people wanted to stop and rest in the tea shop, but they saw a few horse-drawn carriages parked around, and more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and carrying knives.
The idea of resting was immediately dispelled.
Whenever this happens, there will be a mother-in-law on duty, under the order of Xue Baochai, carrying hot tea soup cakes or something to ward off the cold, and give them some, and pay two sentences.
There are naturally not many big families who can come to this kind of roadside stall.
Therefore, it is already extremely satisfying to be able to get some drinking water for free, and as for feeling insulted or something, there is no such thing as a thing!
In just a short period of time, it has won many thanks and praises from passers-by.
The sun rises higher and higher in the sky.
The gusts of north wind blew, making the winter cold to the bone, and the muscles and bones of the people became more and more severe.
Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves.
Everyone in the convoy followed the sound, and saw a line of cavalry approaching rapidly in the distance.
There were about more than 100 people, one by one, they were not mighty with bows and knives, and the person who hit the head was wearing general armor, and a big red cloak behind him flew up and down, like a prairie fire.
The person who came was Jia Cong and all the soldiers under his command!
"Wow! Whew! ”
The heavy sound of horses' hooves, like a dull thunder falling on the earth, rolled in the direction of the tea shop, and the hearts of the people who shook "poof" beat wildly.
It is obviously a cavalry team of more than 100 people, but the rumbling hooves of the horses are neatly aligned like a single horse, and the scene is extremely shocking!
Seeing this cavalry team, the faces of the soldiers on duty at the city gate all changed greatly, and they subconsciously clenched their weapons in their hands, and they wanted to close the city gate tremblingly.
The team leader is a bold one.
noticed the "Jia" character general flag waving in the wind, and then thought of a few carriages waiting not far away early, how could I not know that the person who came was the loyal and brave Bo Jia Cong?
The cavalry came to an abrupt halt at the teahouse.
The sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder disappeared in an instant......
From galloping to stopping neatly, the strong strength and performance of Jia Cong's personal soldiers made the crowd tremble, and at the same time, they were also extremely hot.
Then, Jia Cong turned over and dismounted, and walked to the carriage parked by the tea shop.
After walking a few steps, Jia Cong took off his helmet and handed it to He Dong on the side.
Under the helmet, there was a handsome face with extraordinary martial arts, and Pan An would be ashamed to see it, only two points inferior to the creatures called readers in later generations.
Terrifying!
Carriage side.
Jia Cong stepped on a special bench and boarded the big blue-curtained carriage.
When I lifted the curtain of the carriage, I saw Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai sitting there smiling, silent.
Looked at.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's so cold today, why don't you wait at home, run all the way to the city gate, in case it's freezing, how can it be worth it?" ”
The smiles on the faces of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai froze.
Aggrieved: "We didn't sleep much yesterday, and today we got up early in the morning and went out of the city to meet you in the cold wind, why did we blame you as soon as we met?" ”
Jia Cong reacted at this time.
Busy with a smile: "I've been outside for a long time, and my head is not good at freezing, so I don't like to speak, you have a lot of forbearance, a lot of forbearance!" ”
After that, he came to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai and sat down.
smiled at the two of them: "I came all the way against the biting cold wind, knowing that it is cold today, I am worried that you will run out and be frozen, isn't it my sin?" ”
While speaking, he subconsciously held one person with one hand.
made Lin Daiyu's face turn red!
Then, Xue Baochai was just laughing, while Lin Daiyu lowered her head and didn't speak.
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment.
Immediately saw the two white tender and soft Yi in his hand, he immediately reacted, smiled awkwardly at Daiyu, and said, "In a hurry, it's rude......
saw Jia Cong's embarrassing appearance.
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so they lowered their eyebrows and whispered apologeticly, "We were also a little petty just now, but we embarrassed you!" ”
Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and said unswervingly: "Why do you have to say this to me? Doesn't it look like it's raw? ”
Both girls laughed.
Next, the three of them said a few more words, and Jia Cong immediately got up and said: "It's freezing here, it's not a place to talk, it's most important for us to hurry back home!" ”
After that, he commanded everyone to prepare to leave for their home.
Lin Daiyu and the others couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, and asked, "Didn't you say that you still have to go to the palace to report on your work today?" Can you go home with us now? ”
"What's this?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "As early as last night, I sent someone to hand the fold up, anyway, there is Lord Lu from the household department to report on the work or something, and I will go early when I enter the palace to celebrate the banquet tomorrow!" ”
As he spoke, he stretched.
"After all, debriefing or something, how can it be comfortable to take leave at home?"
Seeing Jia Cong's lazy appearance, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai couldn't help but laugh again.
