Chapter 36: In the Rain
Bizhu saw Zhao Ziyi for the first time, and when she saw Zhao Ziyi come out, she was a little surprised and covered her lips with a handkerchief, and then whispered: "This son is ......"
Zhao Ziyi's eyebrows and eyes were warm, and there was a smile on his face, and he said: "I am just a poor scholar below, surnamed Zhao Ziyi, who was entrusted by Miss Cheng to serve as the bookkeeper this time. ”
Cheng Yuxi smiled faintly.
Before, when Cheng Yuxi learned that Ouyang Yu lacked a bookkeeper, the first thing he thought of was Zhao Ziyi.
First, Zhao Ziyi is a scholar, and his ability to keep accounts will definitely not be very weak, and from the house where Zhao Ziyi lives, he knows that his life is extremely poor.
And a person of noble character like Zhao Ziyi, if Cheng Yuxi directly gave him a large amount of silver taels, it would be an insult to him.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and Cheng Yuxi is now using the bookkeeper's expensive salary as a fisher.
Fortunately, although Zhao Ziyi has his own bottom line, he is not the kind of stubborn person, and after hearing Cheng Yuxi's meaning clearly, he happily agreed, so there was the scene in front of him.
When Cheng Yuxi counted all the things and confirmed that nothing was missing, he found the head of the carriage and asked, "Can we reach the city gate before noon and join Mr. Ouyang's convoy?" ”
The head of the coachman, named Li Yang, was a very sturdy young man, and after wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, he said, "If you set off immediately after a while, you will definitely be able to reach the city gate before noon." ”
Cheng Yuxi nodded, so she returned to Hongluo and Bizhu, and said, "We are ready to go, if you two encounter any difficulties in Cheng's house, or if anyone embarrasses you, go to Chang Fu immediately, you know?" ”
Bizhu looked a little reluctant, and she shouted in a low voice, "Miss......"
Cheng Yuxi continued: "I have already said hello to my father, and he will take extra care of you." ”
Hongluo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Miss, this time, the mountains are far away, you must be careful." We'll be here waiting for you to come back! ”
Cheng Yuxi looked at their reddened eyes, and felt a little emotion in his heart.
In her previous life, she didn't like to communicate with people, only Cheng Zimeng, a friend, where did she think that people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, but the only person she trusted took away all of her ......
Cheng Yuxi pursed his lips and decided not to let himself think about those troublesome things, so he said: "You two don't worry, I will definitely return as soon as possible!" ”
After about a short while, the mighty carriage in front of Cheng's house finally began to walk with a long whip.
Cheng Yuxi sat alone in a luxurious soft sedan chair, looking at the scenery outside through a small window, and couldn't help but feel a little trance.
The speed of the convoy was very fast, and in less than half an hour, Cheng Yuxi could no longer see any tall attics, but patches of farmland and ploughing cattle resting on the side of the road.
Cheng Yuxi hadn't been out for a long time, and she looked at these scenes, which were almost rare for her, and she was a little distracted.
Then, a slender figure appeared in Cheng Yuxi's sight, he rode a jujube red peach and plum horse, and looked at the surrounding scenery with faint eyebrows.
"Hey, Zhao Gongzi!" Cheng Yuxi shouted.
Zhao Ziyi turned his head to look at Cheng Yuxi, with a hint of a smile on his face, and he said, "Miss Cheng, do you have something to order?" ”
Cheng Yuxi was a little bored, so he asked, "I put a few pharmacopoeias in the carriage behind me before, can you help me get them?" ”
Zhao Ziyi naturally did not shirk such a trivial matter, and it didn't take long for him to hold a few books in his hands and rode in the direction of Cheng Yuxi.
"There are a lot of books over there, so I simply inquired and took the one you read recently but didn't finish." Zhao Ziyi said seriously.
Cheng Yuxi didn't expect Zhao Ziyi to be so serious, and a smile appeared in his originally indifferent eyes: "Zhao Gongzi is really as careful as a needle." ”
Zhao Ziyi smiled and said, "Miss Cheng, don't make fun of me anymore......"
Cheng Yuxi suddenly felt that chatting with Zhao Ziyi was more fun than reading any pharmacopoeia, so she said, "Mr. Zhao, I want to ride a horse." ”
The smile on Zhao Ziyi's face stiffened, and he seemed to be a little unable to believe what he heard, so he asked again: "Miss Cheng, what did you just say?" ”
……
About a quarter of an hour later, Cheng Yuxi sat on a well-behaved foal and walked forward slowly, she said, "Why can I only ride this foal?" ”
Listening to the tone, you are very dissatisfied?
Zhao Ziyi said with a smile: "Miss Cheng has not been professionally taught, if she rides such a horse directly, I am afraid that she will disturb those horses, and when the horses are frightened, it will be even more dangerous." ”
Cheng Yuxi sighed with some pity.
Zhao Ziyi looked at Cheng Yuxi's lost look, and said: "If Miss Cheng really wants to ride this kind of adult horse, you can wait until you get to Xiaocheng, and I will go to the stable to rent one for you." Most of the horses in our convoy were strong and a little restless. But there are also some milder adult horses in the stables. ”
When Cheng Yuxi heard this, a smile appeared on her face again, and she said, "If that's the case, then it's very good." ”
After about half an hour, Cheng Yuxi finally saw the city wall at the edge of the town, so she slipped off the foal, quietly slipped into the soft sedan chair where she was supposed to sit, and briefly tidied up her slightly messy clothes.
Ouyang Yu seemed to be looking forward to this trip to Xiaocheng, so from afar, Cheng Yuxi saw Ouyang Yu riding a tall horse and standing at the gate of the city.
When the convoys of the two families converged, they made a simple repair, and then set off in the direction of Xiao Cheng.
The distance between Xiaocheng and this town is not very far, if it is a convoy of their size, it is about a day and a night of walking, and the road is not very smooth, and the difficulty of walking is very low.
Ouyang Yu was very interested in Cheng Yuxi, and when he invited her into his luxury sedan chair, he said, "Can Miss Cheng get used to the bumps in the road?" ”
Ouyang Yu is worthy of being a qualified businessman, and his observation ability is simply incredible.
In fact, Cheng Yuxi is not very accustomed to this bumpy carriage.
Strictly speaking, this can be said to be Cheng Yuxi's first journey by carriage in his previous life and this life, at first Cheng Yuxi was still looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest, but after the sky gradually darkened, he couldn't see anything when he looked outside.
Then, Cheng Yuxi felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and his face began to become a little pale.
It happened that at this time, because Ouyang Yu had something to discuss with Cheng Yuxi, he called her to get into his carriage.
Originally, Cheng Yuxi thought that her carriage was big enough, but when she walked into Ouyang Yu's carriage, she found that the two of them were just a small thing in comparison.
Ouyang Yu looked at Cheng Yuxi's slightly pale face, and asked the previous sentence.
Cheng Yuxi shook his head helplessly, and then said, "It's not a secret, it's not suitable." ”
Ouyang Yu smiled and said, "I want to come too." Miss Cheng is a beautiful girl, and she should rarely go out on weekdays, let alone travel to this extent. ”
"It should be better after that." Cheng Yuxi's little face was still a little pale, she picked up the teacup in front of her, shook it lightly a few times, and then took a sip.
Suddenly, Cheng Yuxi felt like flowers blooming in his mouth, and the fragrant taste wanted to permeate his entire mouth in an instant.
"This tea is delicious. What kind of tea is it? Cheng Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and inexplicably felt that the dizziness she had before had disappeared a lot, and she asked, "I actually tasted it from me." ”
"It's just an ordinary Dingshan camellia." Ouyang Yu said with a smile: "When I was young, I often followed my father to swim, and at the beginning I always couldn't stand the bumps of this carriage, and I was tired enough every time, but fortunately, I found Dingshan Camellia, this thing is very cheap, but after making tea, it can clear heat and detoxify, which can help relieve the feeling of dizziness and dizziness caused by bumps." ”
Cheng Yuxi said: There is still such flower tea in the past three days?
Ouyang Yu saw that Cheng Yuxi seemed to like it a little, so he said: "If Miss Cheng doesn't dislike it, I'll send someone to bring you a copy later, I have prepared a lot of this Dingshan camellia." ”
Cheng Yuxi didn't shirk either, and said with a light smile: "Then thank you Mr. Ouyang." ”
Because of the Dingshan camellia given by Ouyang Yu, Cheng Yuxi's dizziness symptoms were reduced a lot, and he no longer looked like a man in the carriage, but looked at the leaves of the big bag of Dingshan camellia in front of him, and fell into contemplation.
When the convoy walked through a large field, Cheng Yuxi could see the continuous city wall from a distance, only to see that the city wall was full of soldiers, and the crimson flag fluttered in the wind.
The car listened in front of some officers and men, and the person in charge of handling the checkpoints hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and showed the officers and men his trade documents.
Cheng Yuxi looked at the neat and beautiful word "Xiao Cheng" on the city wall, raised his eyes and shouted at Zhao Ziyi, and asked, "Is this here already here?" ”
Zhao Ziyi rode over and said, "About yes." However, the weather doesn't seem to be very good, and it looks like it's going to rain, so let's hurry in and stay. ”
Cheng Yuxi raised her eyes to look at the gloomy weather, her eyes were also a little solemn, and she said: "The medicinal materials we brought this time can not be rained. ”
