The master and servant went out of the courtyard one after the other, and in order to avoid being bumped into on the road, they walked a short distance before they separated. Ping Qianjing went to the main gate in the front yard, and Jiang Shu turned around at the nearest fork in the road and walked to the side gate on the east side of the courtyard.

After she avoided a few busy domestic servants and maids, she cautiously left the house, and when she arrived at the meeting place that the two had agreed to meet, Ping Qian was already waiting there.

Next, the two of them walked through several lanes of different widths on the front road, walked out of Xiaoyongfang, and walked into the West Chang'an Street outside.

At this time, due to the cold weather and bad weather, there was a simple horse-drawn carriage passing by on the street with few pedestrians.

Ping Qian immediately strode forward, stopped him, stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into the hand of the little brother who was driving, and asked him to send them to Guangqumen.

When the little brother saw that there was money to be earned, he was naturally very happy and enthusiastically invited the two of them into the car, and began to drive forward.

In the dim carriage under the dark curtain, Jiang Shu looked at the package full of clothes, jewelry, and silver tickets in her arms and was silent for a while, looked up at the screen sitting opposite her, and was thinking about whether to say something, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from her face.

Ping Qian's hands twisted together couldn't help but tighten, and he quickly turned around and lifted the car curtain on his side to look outside.

When she saw the appearance of the person on the horse, although she was not surprised, the expression on her face could not help but stiffen, and she immediately lowered the curtain again.

"Who's out there?" In the dim light, Jiang Shu didn't see her panic, and when she turned around, she asked casually.

"No...... I don't know," Ping Qian forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, "It's just a young and handsome son." ”

"Oh." Jiang Shu has been in this era for more than half a year, and the young and handsome son has seen a lot, and he is not much interested, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves approaching and quickly moving away, he nodded slowly, leaned on the wall of the car, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Due to the scarcity of pedestrians on the road, the carriage was able to flow unimpeded, and it was not long before the Guangqu Gate, which was located on the eastern wall of the southern city, arrived.

This Guangqu Gate is one of the thirteen city gates of Beijing, the city gate is heavily guarded, and it is not allowed to park the sedan car at will, so the little brother parked the carriage near an inn on Guangqumen Street a few zhang away from the city gate.

Jiang Shu got out of the car one step ahead of the car with the package, and freed up one hand to stop Ping Qian, who was about to get out of the car one step later, and lightly pulled the corners of his lips at her: "Okay, it's been delivered, don't come down, let him send you back again." ”

"Lord Lang hasn't come yet, the slave maid can't just go back," Ping Qian raised his head and looked at the towering city tower in front of him, and said with a slight movement in his eyes, "The slave maid wants to accompany the young lady and wait until Lord Lang comes before leaving." ”

After speaking, without waiting for her to agree, he gently pushed her away, leaned over and jumped out of the car.

When the little brother saw this situation, his face suddenly showed embarrassment: "Two girls, the person you have to wait for doesn't know when they will come, I still have something to do, so I can't wait with you." ”

"He's right, you'd better go," Jiang Shu said with a slightly restrained expression, "I can do it myself." ”

"No, the slave can't leave Miss here alone," Ping Qian said decisively, waving his hand at the little brother, "You go, don't wait for me." ”

"Miss Xie is considerate." The little brother nodded gratefully, took the reins of the horse and turned the head of the car, and ran into the car neatly, waving the horsewhip and driving towards the road.
