Chapter 6: Entering Beijing

In order to take care of the speed of the donkey cart, Lu Wei did not walk fast this way, and the horses that traveled thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night moved forward at the speed of "walking".

Fang Mo complained for a long time, "Childe, why don't we go first, just ask Fang Qin to take the two of them to follow behind." Madame contacted a famous teacher in Beijing for you, and it's not good to go back late! ”

Lu Wei said: "This road is not smooth, since I promised others, there is no reason to break my promise." ”

"What a reason to talk to that kind of person! Is she a reasonable person? Fang Mo muttered stupidly, his son-in-law just abided by the ethics of a gentleman, and he was entangled by a rogue woman like Zhang Yuqing.

Lu Wei glanced at Fang Mo, "Be cautious." ”

Reputation is too important for a woman, and besides, this woman is a member of the Zhang family, and whether her behavior is good or not is disciplined by the Zhang family, it is not their turn.

"Yes." Fang Mo's heart froze, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

In the donkey cart, Wang Chunniang was nervous and couldn't believe it, "I'm really going to the capital with you?" ”

"Really." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.

Wang Chunniang asked uneasily, "Have you really found your relatives?" What if not, or if they don't recognize you? ”

Zhang Yuqing sighed deeply and said softly: "It's not easy to get out of here. Otherwise, I don't dare to ask for anything more. If they really don't recognize me, I have no choice but to complain. ”

Wang Chunniang looked at Zhang Yuqing's delicate hibiscus face, her beautiful black eyes flashed with fragile light, and felt that Zhang Yuqing was a poor person, who was originally the daughter of a rich family, but she fell to this step of the field, and comforted: "Look at my mouth!" Your family must be a big official in the capital, if you find them, a better day will come! ”

"I hope so......" Zhang Yuqing muttered.

Wang Chunniang smiled again: "The boy riding the horse in front of him is strange and good-looking, but he always has a cold face. ”

She didn't dare to look at the elegant noble son, as if a lowly person like her, just one look at him, and she blasphemed such a noble son.

"You're amazing! If you want me, you don't dare to talk to them! Wang Chunniang said.

Zhang Yuqing smiled: "They are also people, two eyes and one nose, what are they afraid of?" ”

Wang Chunniang sighed, "This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see my father and mother in the future, if your brother-in-law is looking for trouble with my father......"

"The surname Lu is not my brother-in-law. He is a brute who drinks and beats women, tiger poison does not eat children, he can sell his three-year-old daughter for wine money, and he is not as good as a dog! Your father and mother sold you to the surnamed Lu for a dowry of two taels of silver, and gave the two little beasts as a stepmother, serving their family, and you still have to worry about the surname Lu making trouble for them? Zhang Yuqing said coldly.

The surname Lu is not stupid, he asked the royal father and the queen mother for five taels of silver before letting Wang Chunniang go, five taels of silver is enough for him to marry the eldest daughter of Huanghua and have a lot of wine money left!

Wang Chunniang covered her face, thinking of the heart-wrenching pain of her daughter who was sold, crystal tears flowed down her fingers, and she was choked and speechless.

"Flowers have a reblooming day, and people have a time to meet again. Leaving here, we have a chance to find the child, and one day we will find it! Zhang Yuqing put her arms around Wang Chunniang's thin shoulders, her eyes flashed with determination, "Don't blame me for taking you away, I figured it out, if you want to go, you can go together, if you can't go, then drag them to die together!" ”

"What can't die, don't say that!" Wang Chunniang covered Zhang Yuqing's mouth and burst into tears, "You are all for my good, I know!" ”

Fang Qin was rushing in front, the wind was blowing, and the sound of talking in the carriage was not audible, but Wang Chunniang's cry could still be distinguished.

O iniquity! Fang Qin shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Just because Zhang Yuqing lacked people to serve, poor Wang Chunniang was forced to separate from her husband and relatives and follow Zhang Yuqing into Beijing.

Crying like this, I must miss my family very much!

Lu Wei hadn't spoken to Zhang Yuqing all the way, as if he was followed by a stranger.

Zhang Yuqing also knew that she was cheeky and entangled with Lu Wei, which made Lu Wei very annoyed, very interesting, and she didn't dare to bother Lu Wei when she had nothing to do.

The two sides were weird and peaceful, and they went all the way to the capital. When there were still three hundred miles away from the capital, Lu Wei instructed Fang Mo to hurry up, take a step first, and go to inform the Zhang family about the matter.

When Zhang Yuqing and his entourage arrived in the capital, it was already early afternoon.

The donkey cart clattered along the official road, and the city walls gradually appeared in sight. The roofs of the walls are covered with green glazed tiles, which reflect the sunlight and shine brightly.

The pedestrians on the road rubbed shoulders and dressed more decently and cleanly than the places next to them.

"Girl, the capital has arrived!" Fang Qin was happy when he saw the familiar city wall, and said to the people behind him.

Wang Chunniang lifted the curtain to look at the towering city wall, looked up and exclaimed: "The gate of this capital is really tall and big!" ”

The cities they had seen along the way were majestic and tall, and the walls were full of soldiers with three steps and one post and five steps and a sentry.

The people got closer, and when they walked to the base of the city wall, they could feel the height of the city wall and the insignificance of the people.

Fang Mo had already gone to Zhang's house to inform him, and at this moment he was leading the horse and standing outside the city gate waiting for Lu Wei.

"Childe!" Fang Mo saw Lu Wei and shouted excitedly.

Lu Weile stopped his horse.

A middle-aged round-faced steward next to Fang Mo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The villain is the steward of the Zhang family, his name is Li Degui, and he came to pick up this girl into the mansion on the orders of the master, and asked the old lady and Mrs. to take a look." ”

said this safely, did not immediately admit that Zhang Yuqing was the lost girl of the Zhang family, only said to take it back and take a look, and then talk about it after recognizing it or not.

Zhang Yuqing heard the words outside, got out of the donkey cart, and glanced at Li Degui.

Li Degui also secretly looked at Zhang Yuqing, and after just one glance, he was shocked, he looked like the master of the Zhang family, no wonder the eldest son of the Lu family brought people back directly!

At first glance, this girl is a little more beautiful than the big girl of the Zhang family, who is famous in the capital!

Zhang Yuqing faced Lu Wei, bent over, bowed for a long time, made a thank-you salute, and said sincerely: "Lu Gongzi's great kindness, I remember it in my heart. The son is rich and smooth, although he does not need my repayment, but if he has a place to get me, he can tell him. ”

Lu Wei did not dismount, bowed coldly, turned the horse's head, and left with Fang Mo Fang Qin.

The wind blew the corners of Lu Wei's robe, and the upright and handsome figure quickly disappeared into the crowd of people coming and going in the capital.

Zhang Yuqing retracted her gaze and looked at the crowded street.

The last time she was here, it was when the Hu people captured the capital, burned, killed and looted. There were corpses everywhere, and blood stained the ground red. More than ten years have passed, and the bloody gas has long since dissipated, and even the floor tiles have been polished bright and smooth, calm and peaceful.

Li Degui smiled: "Girl, get in the car, I'll take the girl to the house." ”

"I'm tired." Zhang Yuqing said and sat back in the car.

Li Degui drove the donkey cart into the city gate, and the dazzling sunlight was completely blocked by the city wall, and the donkey cart was completely black.

"This wall is like a mountain!" Wang Chunniang said with emotion.

In the dark, Zhang Yuqing remembered the tragedy in this city thirteen years ago, and said faintly: "I look like a cannibalistic tomb where many people are buried. ”

"That person ......" Wang Chunniang pointed to Li Degui who was catching the car in front of her, "Is that your relative?" Is it your uncle? ”

Zhang Yuqing shook his head, "He is the steward of the Zhang family, and he is the subordinate who serves the master." ”

Wang Chunniang was a little disappointed, even if she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, she knew that when her relatives came, the host's family would definitely welcome her, not to mention that this was a hard-working person who had been living abroad for many years before she could return home.

"It's good to see your loved ones." Wang Chunniang was afraid that Zhang Yuqing would feel sad, so she held her hand and comforted.

Zhang Yuqing smiled, the map of this world had slowly unfolded towards her, she was already a free person, and she would never be worse than before.

The donkey cart traveled for two quarters of an hour and stopped.

Li Degui jumped out of the donkey cart, opened the curtain, and said with a smile: "Girl, it's time to Zhangfu, get off!" ”

Lifting the curtain, Li Degui saw that there was still a person sitting in the car.

Wang Chunniang untied the cloth covering her face in the car, and was unexpectedly seen by someone who saw the ugly scar on her face that occupied half of her face, Li Degui was startled and screamed "Ah".

Wang Chunniang's heart trembled, she hurriedly pulled open the cloth to cover her face, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look up at people again.

Zhang Yuqing held Wang Chunniang's hand, looked at Li Degui coldly, and shouted unhappily: "What's your name?!" ”

Li Degui smiled and said: "It's rude, don't blame the girl, don't blame!" He secretly glanced at Wang Chunniang, who covered most of her face, and secretly said where did this come from, and it was terrifying to death in broad daylight!

Zhang Yuqing got out of the donkey cart and looked up at the gate of Zhang's mansion, the main door of the vermilion lacquer copper nail was closed, and there were two small doors next to it, and there was a plaque painted with gold paint in the middle of the door frame, with the words "Zhang's Scholar's Mansion" written.

Li Degui led Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang to the small door and knocked on the door.

After the door opened, Zhang Yuqing looked at the courtyard in front of him, facing a wall, painting mountains and flowing water, and a few green bamboos were planted next to it.

Bypassing the wall, there is a three-entry courtyard.

"The front yard is a place where the old man and the old lady meet guests, and a place where the sons and sons read." Li Degui introduced, led the two of them out of the side door, and arrived at a hanging flower arch, where a middle-aged woman wearing a green silk placket was waiting.

After seeing Zhang Yuqing's appearance, the middle-aged woman was also shocked, and secretly said that this looks really like the handsome Zhang family master, plus the gold collar hanging on her chest, no matter how well she dresses up, anyone who sees it will believe that this is the Zhang family girl.

After glancing at Li Degui, the middle-aged woman asked with a smile, "The girl looks so handsome!" ”

Li Degui said to Zhang Yuqing: "Girl, follow Mother Liu in!" ”

Zhang Yuqing nodded and followed Liu's mother into the courtyard.

The little maid guarding the door lifted the thin bamboo curtain and shouted, "People are coming!" ”

Mother Liu patted Zhang Yuqing's thin shoulder and said, "Go in, our Zhang family's wife is waiting in the house!" ”
