Chapter 53: Travel
Whisper's physical fitness is really good, and yesterday according to the doctor, the wind chill she felt was more severe, and it may take five or six days to get better.
But what Situ Xi didn't expect was that she recovered early this morning, and all kinds of symptoms on her body dissipated, she was in a surprisingly good mental state, and she was busy in the yard early in the morning.
She spoke highly of the perilla cooked water that Situ Xi boiled for her yesterday, saying that it played a great role in her condition.
But this is mostly due to psychological effects, and Situ Xi also drank some of the cooked water, which is really good in terms of taste alone, and it should be a best-selling product.
Today, Situ Xi's family of three is going to Nanshan Ranch, and after learning the news, she is very glad that she can recover, and she also likes to play around.
The three of them had breakfast at home, hurriedly cleaned up, and prepared to go out to the Huaiming Mansion.
However, when Situ Xi walked out of the courtyard gate, he found that Zhong Limo had already prepared the carriage early and was waiting outside the door, and the location of the house should have been told to him by Zhong Liyi.
Zhong Limo was sitting on a horse in a loose black robe today, and Steward Chen was holding the reins for him.
There were two carriages and a sedan chair outside the gate of this courtyard, and there were many people accompanying them on this trip, and there were as many as sixteen attendants alone, all of whom were equipped with self-defense weapons.
This trip was a rare opportunity for Zhong Limo, who was particularly strict with him on Huaiming's fair day, and recently he has also been obsessed with his studies.
Now that he was finally able to go and play, he was naturally very happy, and when he saw that Situ Xi had finally walked out of the door, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran quickly to Situ Xi's side.
"Sister and brother-in-law, you finally came out, I thought you were still resting, so I didn't go in to disturb."
Greeting the two casually, Zhong Limo pulled Situ Xi's sleeve robe with both hands, dragging the luxurious carriage he was close to his house, quite impatient.
"Brother-in-law, come on, come on, this car is a little high, little brother, I'll carry you up."
"Brother Mo, it's still early." Zhong Li couldn't help but chuckle when he saw him like this, the childlike nature is sometimes quite enviable, at least there are not many troubles in his heart.
Seeing that Zhong Limo was looking forward to today's event, Situ Xi did not disappoint his interest, and he led him to board the carriage.
The carriage is extravagant, with a spacious interior with soft cushions, beautiful carved patterns and delicate ornaments.
There were seats on three sides of the carriage, and Situ Xi and Zhong Lixuan naturally sat on the main seat, and Whisper was also allowed by Zhong Limo to sit in this carriage on the grounds of taking care of Situ Xi and his wife.
After a few people boarded the carriage and sat down, Steward Chen below asked them for instructions, and the wheels turned and drove towards Nanshan.
"Brother Mo, my father actually agreed to let you come out to play, it seems that you have really done your homework well recently."
"That's natural, sister, my little brother has gained a lot in arithmetic recently, and even the master praised it, and my father must have heard the news."
Hearing Zhong Li's praise, Zhong Limo was proud, he looked at the husband and wife in the car, and suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he turned to the two of them and asked:
"Brother-in-law, Nanshan is still some distance away from here, why don't you let the younger brother pass the time by giving you a few questions, if you can't answer it, you can agree to my request in a while."
As he spoke, a smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, apparently already confident.
When Situ Xi saw him like this, he also felt interesting, thinking that he should have encountered some difficult exercises.
"Okay, then you might as well tell me about it."
"Well, brother-in-law, you can listen well, say that there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage today, with fifty heads on the top and one hundred and sixty on the bottom, ask the pheasants and rabbits how much they are?"
It turned out to be a question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, Situ Xi smiled knowingly, and gave the answer in less than a moment.
"Twenty pheasants, thirty rabbits, right?"
Zhong Limo immediately looked stunned, and looked at Situ Xi in surprise, this problem is more difficult to solve, and the master also talked to him for a long time before he understood, but Situ Xi answered it almost instantly.
"Right...... Yes, yes, brother-in-law, you did this before? How can you answer it so quickly? ”
The whispers on the side and Zhong Lixuan were also surprised, and they began to think that Situ Xi had already answered correctly.
didn't answer Zhong Limo's question, Situ Xi also wanted to tease him at the moment, so he smiled and said to him:
"Brother Mo, since you have just asked the question, then I should test you a question now, if you can't answer it, you have to promise me a condition."
"This can't be done, my brother-in-law must know more than me, I definitely can't win you, no, no!" Zhong Limo was not fooled, he knew that Situ Xiti's question was definitely not something he could answer.
"It's not a problem, it's the same problem of the pheasant and rabbit co-cage, if you can answer it, how about I give you a small gift?"
"Really? Brother-in-law, I did a lot of this kind of arithmetic practice yesterday, and if it's just a pheasant rabbit in the same cage, then it's fine. ”
"So it's okay, you listen, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, a total of 100, the feet of the pheasant are more than the rabbit's feet by 20, ask the pheasant and the rabbit how much do they have?"
"Gone? What about rabbit heads? Brother-in-law, you're not complete on this question, are you? Zhongli Moben was still counting in his heart, but when he finished listening to this question, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, this was different from what was written in the book.
"You don't need a rabbit head, you can already solve it with the conditions I give, how about it, can you have an answer?"
Scratching his head, Zhong Limo's face was a little bitter, and he turned his head to Zhong Limo to ask for help.
However, Zhong Lixuan also shook his head slightly, still thinking about it with some distress.
After another long silence, Zhong Limo suddenly raised his head suddenly.
"Got it! Brother-in-law, you can directly say what the conditions are, little brother, I will do my best to do it, and I will never break my word. ”
……
Talking and laughing along the way, Situ Xi and his party had already arrived at the time when they arrived at Nanshan.
The scenery along the way is good, especially at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the flowers and trees on both sides of the road and the flowing stream make people feel relaxed and reassured.
On the side of the stream at the foot of the mountain, there are already many Confucian scholars cooking tea and making wine to have fun with friends.
However, after reaching the mountains and forests, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.
After walking forward for some distance, Situ Xi suddenly felt the carriage slow down, and slowly seemed to have a tendency to stop.
He opened the curtain and looked out, and suddenly found that someone had set up a barricade on the not very wide path in front of him, and there were some sword guards who looked like guards on both sides of the road.
It's just that the guards in front are now surrounding the three women, as if they are conducting an interrogation.
"Stop." Zhong Limo also saw the situation ahead, he ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and continue to move forward, and then looked at Situ Xi and said, "Brother-in-law, you just sit in the car, I'll go and see what's going on, and I'll be back soon." ”
Situ Xi was about to nod, but he heard a more familiar voice in front of him.
"We don't go in, and now we want to go back the way we came, but you refuse to let us go at the moment, is this a bit too domineering?"
