Chapter 276: Small Means
Outside the sedan curtain, the city gate engraved with the word Fengcheng gradually moved away, and Xiao Hanyue and Lotus couldn't help but show a sense of uneasiness in their eyes.
Although Xiao Jingmo didn't probe, he also knew that they had left the Fengcheng realm at this time, and they were going towards the unfamiliar realm more and more far.
Su Qingtian looked at the nervous appearance of the three of them, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Take it easy."
As she spoke, the girl took out a few wrapped peach blossom cakes from her sleeves and handed them to the lotus, "I returned to Beijing this time at the behest of the emperor Lao'er, and my identity is a precious princess, and this group of people dare not really harm us." ”
"It's just that according to their methods that can't be put on the table, I'm afraid that along the way, I will find an opportunity to humiliate and practice."
Lotus lowered her head and opened the package, handing the peach blossom cake to the masters while quietly listening to the little lady's analysis.
"The daughter taught by Su Zheng, presumably there will be endless small tricks in private."
Xiao Hanyue snorted coldly.
He had heard the third brother mention that Xiao Qingtian's life in the Su family before she came home was not good, and the third brother had tried to take her away many times but in vain.
With such a father, Su Lingxian is afraid that he will be in trouble with them.
"No problem." Taking a bite of the pastry, Su Qingtian smiled and said, "If you really want to do it, you have to leave Fengcheng far away, and even leave the boundary of Linxian, the border is within the scope of the Xiao family's army, and the prince who has no one in his eyes will not be so stupid." ”
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why King Jin has always wanted to completely destroy the Xiao family through Su Zheng, he knew that he could not control the old general Xiao and the Xiao family army at all, so he wanted to make the Xiao family disappear through other means.
As the son of the King of Jin, Gu Mingxuan knew the importance of the Xiao Jiajun to the Mexican Kingdom since he was a child, and he was also afraid of three points in his heart.
Listening to Xiao Qingtian's analysis, Xiao Hanyue couldn't help but nodded, he really cared about it, and he forgot that the border was his own territory.
Thinking of all the humiliations that the Xiao family tasted back then, he wouldn't take this idea to heart when he was on the road now, but he just suffered his little niece and the child Jingmo.
Seeing that the masters were all relaxed under the comfort of the young lady, Lotus turned around and lifted the curtain to move to Nie Chen's side and sat down, handing him the peach blossom crisp in his hand.
The man glanced down and naturally reached out to take the next bite.
Well, this peach blossom crisp is really sweet.
No wonder women love it.
He didn't notice that the two of them were too intimate, and still cautiously surveyed the surrounding mountains and forests.
The lotus flower who withdrew her hand lowered her head and took a small bite of the pastry, and climbed on her face with a gentle smile.
This passing by was as calm as Su Qingtian expected, but the uninterrupted rush made everyone's backs sore and their legs swollen.
When the sky was about to darken, five vehicles also sped down on the official road, as if they were rushing to their destination when the night was completely dark.
Half an hour later, Lotus finally noticed that the carriage under her was slowing down slowly, and finally stopped.
She grew up in Fengcheng since she was a child, and the farthest she went to Linxian for her master's errands, it was the first time she hurried in a carriage with such intensity.
Fortunately, I used less for breakfast, otherwise I would have to vomit it all.
After Su Qingtian and the others all got off the bus, they saw that the post station in front of them had already left the boundary of Linxian County.
The guards around were busy arranging the wagons and horses to go to the backyard of the inn, unloading the wagons, driving the horses to the stables and letting the post soldiers feed the horses the best horse feed.
The last one in the most gorgeous car slowly lifted the curtain, Gu Mingxuan got out of the car in a chic and neat manner, turned around and supported Su Lingxian with a distressed face.
It wasn't until the woman leaned on her arms softly and bonelessly that Gu Mingxuan set his eyes on Su Qingtian and his party as if he was giving alms.
"Miss Sue." The man's voice was full of cold and faint disgust, "We'll stay here for one night tonight and continue our journey tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he took Su Lingxian to the second floor of the post station.
Su Qingtian naturally saw Su Lingxian's gloating expression and the smugness in her eyes.
Tsk, are you ready to get started?
This post station is considered to be a relatively large place on the way to the capital from the border, and it is a place for officials who have done things in the past to rest temporarily or pass on military information to change horses, so the accommodation of the post station itself is also divided into many grades according to the character of the person who came.
The rooms and food of the royal family were the best, and after the royal family were the first-class officials, followed by the second-class and third-class, then the fourth-class and fifth-class, followed by the sixth-rank and below, and the last rank was the commoner.
Gu Mingxuan is the prince, and Gu Qiuyang is the prince, so naturally he lives in the best room.
Su Lingxian came with them, and naturally stayed in the best room.
didn't bother to guess, Su Qingtian knew that Su Lingxian must have wanted to use the rules of post station grading to humiliate their family.
After all, except for his grandfather, the rest of the Xiao family currently have no official position, and the eldest uncle still had the title of major general before he fell ill, and he was cut off after less than half a year of being in a coma, and now he is naturally a cloth cloth.
The night breeze began to rise, and the family waited for a quarter of an hour at the entrance of the post station before they saw a man in a guard's uniform coming.
"In the lower woods." The man politely clenched his fists and beckoned, "It's the prince who will arrange accommodation and food for you." ”
"The post station is graded." Lin Mu didn't care whether they knew it or not, and said directly, "Our guards are only nine grades, and they can only sleep in the Chase bunk, and several of them are civilians, so they can only sleep in the firewood room tonight." ”
"Come with me, everybody."
Xiao Jingmo wrapped the girl in his arms with a big coat, and when he saw Lin Mu turn around, he beckoned his uncle and a few people to go to the direction of the firewood house together.
In fact, when he heard the word "firewood room", Xiao Jingmo's brows furrowed, and he wondered if the clothes he brought could make a comfortable bed for the girl.
Xiao Hanyue, who was at the end, also had a very ugly complexion, but because his little niece had no rebuttal, he couldn't bear it.
He knew that the post station was graded, but the treatment was not so bad.
The Chase Bunk is generally used by officials, grooms, and entourage, and the room where the Jiupin officials live is a room for four people, and there are four separate beds in the room.
Gu Mingxuan arranged it like this, isn't it bullying them, the Xiao family is a mud leg who only knows how to fight with brute force and doesn't know anything, and by the way, he is grinding the little girl to satisfy Su Lingxian's careful thoughts.
These two people are really dark in heart.
Lin Mu pushed the door of the firewood room open, and a smell of damp wood and heavy dust came to his face.
Inside, there are piles of wood that have been hoarded for many years, so as to be used in the winter, and there are farmers at the post house on weekdays to deliver firewood to the door.
So after the firewood room was piled with wood, it was never opened again.
Lin Mu was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't expect it to be like this inside, it seems that the prince really hates this group of people, who has offended the people on the tip of the prince's heart.
