Chapter 34: She Took It
Early in the morning, Hong Xiaoduo, who slept until she woke up naturally, looked at the bright sky, and she couldn't figure it out, like her current situation, even if no child woke up with a nightmare last night and woke up to her, she shouldn't sleep so steadily, right?
Didn't even have a dream? How big is her heart?
Tilt your head and look at the neatly stacked bunk covers on the bunk, hey? Aren't you even as good as a group of children now? So snooze?
"Mother, are you awake?" As soon as Hong Xiaoduo sat up, she saw Yaoguang sitting on the pony and shouted to her happily.
Before Hong Xiaoduo could respond, she saw Yaoguang standing up and running towards the door, and she immediately thought of the next scene.
"Brother, my mother is awake." Yaoguang opened the door and reported to the people outside.
Immediately afterwards, just like the previous day, Tianxuan came in with washing water, and Yuheng also took out the wooden comb that Hong Xiaoduo had just bought the afternoon before and came over.
Hong Xiaoduo's legs were put down, Kaiyang came over and put the shoes on the ground at her feet, and Tianquan immediately dragged her shoes and climbed up to make her futon.
A group of little ones are like they have been trained, and there is a clear division of labor.
Somehow, Hong Xiaoduo thought that the reason why they were like this was probably except. is also a not very good reason, which is roughly because I was by the side of that wicked man before, and I served him so much.
I felt a little uncomfortable, leaned over and insisted that I had put on my shoes, and I had to have a smile on my face, otherwise they would probably think that something wrong had made her unhappy.
Thinking that I was already up late, the children should be hungry, so hurry up and wash up.
"Mother, we have all checked it, and we have not missed anything, and we have loaded it into our car." Tianquan saw Hong Xiaoduo looking at the shop and said busily.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded, took them out of the room, and went to the counter to pay the room fee.
"If you're not in a hurry, you can stay here for a few more days, and you won't be charged for the room, anyway, there are no guests, and it's empty." Granny Orchid knew that they were leaving this morning the day before, and she was very reluctant to speak.
Although it was only two days of contact, but this big and seven small tenants, Granny Orchid really liked it.
Good-looking, sweet mouth, sensible and diligent. I get up early every day and help clean the inn.
"Mother-in-law, if you have a chance in the future, you may meet again." After speaking, he put away the change found by the shopkeeper, thanked the shopkeeper again, and said that the business was prosperous.
When I walked to the door, I didn't see Tianshu, so I thought of something and walked to the stable, and sure enough, there it was, feeding the donkey to eat grass.
"Tianshu, let's go have breakfast first." Hong Xiaoduo beckoned, looking at Tianshu while responding to himself, and looking at the donkey cart with three steps and three turns.
She took seven small ones to eat braised noodles at the noodle restaurant on the edge of the inn, and when she came out, she bought baked cakes at the roadside biscuit stall, and also bought a stack of meat cakes, and ate them on the way.
The little ones happily held it and followed Tianshu to trot back to the inn stables.
Standing in front of the donkey cart, Hong Xiaoduo looked into the carriage and was full of emotion, obviously she was an adult, and she should take care of these seven little ones, but in fact, it seemed that they were doing a lot of things, and she didn't have to worry about it at all.
Look at the carriage, some bits and pieces purchased the day before, as well as their newly bought cotton clothes, are neatly placed without looking cluttered, and will not affect their sitting, and can also be used as a backrest.
The tent I bought yesterday was tied to the back of the carriage, and the bundle was also sturdy, so I didn't have to worry about falling off the road at all.
"Alright, let's get in the car." After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, he hugged Yaoguang first, and the other children climbed up on the stool by themselves.
"Mother, why don't you go up?" Seeing that she didn't get into the car, Tianshu asked puzzledly, and then said, "Mother, go up and sit down, it's okay, I'm walking to catch the car, I won't get on." ”
Look, if she hesitates a little about anything, they will immediately wonder, why?
"It's not that I'm afraid that it won't be able to pull, didn't the boss of the carriage and horse shop say that the weight we add up is still a lot worse than its load-bearing capacity." That's it, didn't you just buy it, I'll follow along, it's safer. Tianshu immediately understood when he heard it, his mother was worried that he was not skilled in driving, and then the donkey's temperament did not know how, his mother walked and followed, if the donkey was out of control and disobedient or something, his mother could help stop it.
"Flooded, right?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but ask.
I bought three water bladders the day before and carried water with me, after all, it is not very convenient to find water sources on the road.
Tianshu immediately nodded and said, it was all full.
"Let's go, then." Hong Xiaoduo closed the carriage door and smiled and signaled, Tianshu also smiled and nodded, very excited and shook the reins, the donkey raised its hooves and walked forward very humanely, the donkey cart did not look atmospheric without the carriage, but it was quite stable.
Granny Orchid and her son stood on the side of the road, saying that the road was safe, waving after them.
"Mother, actually, you should buy a horse to ride." Tianshu said as he walked.
Hong Xiaoduo glanced at him and said, "Buy a cotton coat, you still want to buy the cheapest, buy a horse?" A horse can cost more than ten taels of silver. However, in the future, if the purse is more bulging, I will buy it. ”
Well, she would never say that she was not sure if she could ride a horse, so she didn't dare to buy it.
She doesn't like to walk, she's not tired, this isn't the donkey cart she just bought, and she's a little worried, wait for another mile or two, and then get on the car and sit.
was already about to walk out of the town, when he heard someone shouting behind him: "Little lady Hong, wait a minute." ”
Tianshu grabbed the reins and looked behind him with Hong Xiaoduo, he was dressed as a small guy, and he didn't know him.
The person soon arrived, and the little maid handed her a brocade bag: "The master of my family is Dong Yuefan, he said that the little lady knows." Because there is something important, I can't come to see off the little lady in person, so I sent the little one to send this, saying that the acquaintance is fate and asking the little lady to accept it.
My master also said that if the little lady is not in a hurry, try to find a place to rest as early as possible during the day, try to take the official road, and don't be greedy to take the remote mountain road. ”
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and stretched out her hand to take the brocade bag, which was heavy, and she didn't need to look at it to know that it should be silver: "Thank you Brother Dong for me, tell him that the mountains and rivers meet, and if there is fate, there will always be goodbye." I also wish him a bright future and a prosperous official road. Thank you, little brother, for your hard work. ”
Why do you say again, because people have already done one of the biggest favors.
After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.
The little girl watched her turn around, looked down again to see that she was light and empty-handed, and looked up again as if she couldn't believe it, shouldn't she be a little polite, excuse herself, and take it again?
Tianshu looked at the little guy's reaction, and when he saw that he had seen it, he quickly turned around and drove the donkey to continue.
After taking a few steps, she secretly glanced at Hong Xiaoduo, and she looked as usual, just!
At this time, in Dong Yuefan's house, looking at the good brother who had already cleaned up but did not immediately get on the horse and leave, he complained in his heart.
I knew this, so I went to send Sister Xiaoduo first.
"Brother Dong, what about three catties?" Dong Yuefan looked at the few guards leading the horses around, there seemed to be one missing, and he didn't know where to go.
The good brother came with a few guards, and they usually let them live in the courtyard next door, and they don't eat together. This is going to leave, but why is there one missing, is it these days that they are free-range, raising loose vices?
Or, is there a good match in town? Hehe, isn't the good brother always showing off his subordinates, there are no womanizers, and there is not a person who can't control the belt of his pants!
Before waiting for the good brother's response, he saw that the little girl he had sent out to send Xiao Duo's sister back before.
Seeing that he came back empty-handed, he immediately smiled: "Okay, you, what did you say, she took it?" ”
"Hmph, the money sent to the door, if you don't want it, it's a fool." Mu Zitao looked at him like an idiot and said.
Dong Yuefan glanced at him and continued to look at his little girl.
After listening to the words of his master's good brother, the little guy looked at his master and didn't know how to answer appropriately, because if he told the truth, it seemed that he would do what General Mu had just said.
"The little one did as the master commanded, and didn't say much about the side." looked at his master, and he didn't dare to lie in the end.
Others don't understand, as a personal servant, he knows the master's temperament the most, and it doesn't matter if he does something wrong, but if he is clever and lies, after the master knows, he will not be spared.
"Look, this is what you want to lose your temper with the master, if you want it, don't want it, how good it is to be direct." Dong Yuefan was very happy.
"Well, Dong Ye, it's good that you're happy, Mu has said goodbye. Before leaving, I would like to advise you, if you want to return to Beijing as soon as possible, you must be as peaceful as before, and do whatever you want. ”
Looking at the three catties of his subordinates outside the door, Mu Zitao reminded his good brother and walked out.
Some of his men led the horses and followed them out.
Looking at the group of people who turned over and rode away, Dong Yuefan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, covering the dust raised by the horse's hooves, waiting for the good brother to turn around and wave in response, but as a result, the figures disappeared and did not look back.
A sigh, drooping shoulders, and sad eyes made the little guy a little unbearable.
Mu Zitao, who slowed down when she left the town, regretted a little, since she knew which direction she was going, why did she set off so early? They are just a donkey cart, where can they go fast?
Slow to follow? Or do you want to go first......
