Chapter 4 Carriage Wheel (3)
Thinking so crankily, I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that it was already dark. Shu Yao sat up with a bone, and he didn't care about the pain all over his body, and hurriedly called Liu's mother and Qiushuang:
"What time is it? Why are you still sleeping, it's already bright outside! ”
Liu's mother woke up a long time ago, afraid of noisy Shu Yao, but she didn't dare to move when she lay down. Hearing her shouting in a panic, he hurriedly got up and drove forward:
"Don't worry, it's not too late. You see it's bright outside, because it snowed heavily last night, so it's brighter outside. Then he poured her a glass of water, and said:
"It snowed so hard last night, and I can't make it this morning. You sleep a little longer, and I'll go out and see how the second master arranges it." As he spoke, he pressed her hand, put on her clothes, and pushed the door open.
Shu Miao drank a sip of hot water, but she couldn't sleep because she had something in her heart, so she asked Qiushuang to serve her to get dressed, wash and comb her hair.
Before she finished cleaning up, Liu's mother came back, and her face collapsed obviously. Shu Yao chuckled in his heart, and knew that something was wrong. She asked Liu's mother with her eyes, and Liu's mother stepped forward and said softly:
"My aunt is gone......"
Gone? Shu Yao's heart sank, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton. Qiushuang, who was standing on the side, was obviously flustered, holding a comb grate in his hand and not knowing what to do. Shu Yao reached out to hold Liu's mother's hand and asked:
"How do you know? Where did the news come from, can it be taken seriously? ”
Mother Liu held her tightly with her backhand and said:
"It really couldn't be more real! Who did you say gave us a room last night? It turned out to be the general of the town and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council! Who is the general of this town, who is the ninth son of Lao Mao Guogong, the ninth uncle of our eldest aunt! The second master said that last night, the general asked someone to ask him to speak, and this is what he said. ”
Shu Yao was silent, it turned out that the person was such a high official rank, such an identity, no wonder he had such an imposing body. It's just that he looks very young, and he turns out to be my sister's ninth uncle! It's just that I can't take care of this for the time being, what matters is my brother-in-law's business. After thinking about it, he asked again:
"When did the brother-in-law's affair come out? It's not there, or has it been a few days? ”
Mother Liu looked at Shu Yao's expression, and seeing that she was not flustered at all, her heart was a little calmer, and she said slowly:
"It shouldn't have been, and the general only received the news last night. I think the person who sent us the letter went wrong and didn't find us. The general learned our identity from Yi Cheng, so he told the second master about it. They left the post station early in the morning, the general settled the second master don't worry, go slowly, the matter has already happened, it won't help to rush to arrive, the weather is bad, if something happens again, it will be even worse. ”
Shu Yao nodded slowly, glanced at the overwhelmed Qiu Shuang, and said:
"What are you panicking about? Quickly comb my hair, I'm about to go. ”
Qiu Shuang responded with a snort, but his subordinates were fast, put on a simple bun, Shu Yao picked a silver hairpin and inserted it in the bun, and picked up the clean clothes to put on. After cleaning up, a post man knocked on the door and brought breakfast.
It was used up in a hurry, and there was already a commotion outside. Not long after, Li Cunyi sent the little maid to find Liu's mother, saying that he would go out when he was ready.
The cyan cloak covered Shu Yao tightly, and Liu's mother helped her into the carriage. As she stepped into the car, she glanced in the direction of the stable, and there were indeed many fewer horses than there had been last night.
After waiting for a while, Liu's mother and Qiushuang gathered all the luggage and belongings, and the convoy set off.
This place is not far from Jingshi, if it is on weekdays, it will be there for most of the day, and in this snowy day, you still have to walk for a whole day to rush to travel.
The thick snow creaked under the wheels, and the people who helped the car could not walk, and the people sitting in the car did not feel much better. Because the snow covered the road, it was difficult to see the ruts, and the wheels sometimes slipped, and sometimes they fell into the deep ruts with a bang.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressing, and the three of them were turned upside down and no one spoke. Even if the general explained that Li Cunyi was walking slowly, but when he encountered such a thing, who could slow down, and unconsciously wanted to speed up his pace and rush over.
Shu Jiao thought about her big sister in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her sister was pitiful. When her mother died, her sister had just turned thirteen years old, and when she was thirteen years old, other people's girls were still spoiled by the family as children, but her sister began to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister as a mother, and the little one put her arms around her and her younger brother, wiped their tears for the two of them, and gently patted them on the back.
My sister's family affairs were decided early when my mother was alive. Mrs. Wuyang Hou was the matchmaker, looking for the eldest son of the Maoguo Mansion. Speaking of which, my sister is considered to be a high-level marriage, and their Li family is the highest official in their father's generation, and it is only an official title from the fifth grade, and the Duke of Mao Guo is a real first-class prince, even if he marries a concubine, he also has a long time.
Outsiders say that my sister is well married, but Shu Yao has always had a faint worry in her heart. Until now, she has never seen this brother-in-law, and she doesn't know what kind of person he is...... What is the situation in the Maoguo Mansion now?
Poor sister, she has only been married for a year, how can she live this long life in the future......
