Chapter Thirty-Seven: Finally Done a Job
On the first day of He Changdi's abandonment of his wife and joining the army, Chu Lian slept quite soundly, and he didn't even have a dream.
In Zhangzhou, where Shengjing is in the city, He Saburo took Laiyue to hurry overnight.
Although Fuzhong didn't know the route he rushed to Liangzhou in the north, he was inevitably caught up, and he had to travel day and night.
At this time, it is the height of summer, even if the sky is dark, but the windless night does not make people feel very cool, not only is it not cool, but it is suffocating and makes people feel unbearable heat.
The two horses galloped on the official road at a high speed, the master and servant both carried burdens behind them, although the wind brought by the horses when they ran was a little cool, but they were on the back of the horse for a day, even He Saburo, who was physically strong and strong in martial arts, was a little unbearable.
Enduring the hot pain of rubbing the inner thighs, the two of them rushed for more than ten miles.
Through the faint moonlight, Lai Yue saw the thatched hut at the fork in front.
His face was happy, "Third Young Master, there is a grass shed in front, let's stay here for one night tonight." ”
There are still forty or fifty miles to go to the next town, and if you want to rush through it overnight, I am afraid that it will be dawn, and it is better to sleep on the side of the road for the night, and besides, the horses that have been running for a day also need to rest.
He Saburo nodded, turned over and dismounted, Lai Yue took the reins from He Changdi's hand, tied the horse to the tree next to him, and the horse rope was lengthened so that the horse could eat the tender grass around it.
It was a simple tea shed, and a pair of tables and chairs left behind in it were obviously a little rotten and a layer of dust had fallen on them, apparently no one had done business here for a long time.
The thatched shed is open on all sides, the bracket is not very stable, as if it is crumbling, and there is not much thatch on the roof of the shed, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain.
Although the conditions are difficult, there is not so much attention to people who go out, and it is much better to have such a place to rest and such a pair of dilapidated tables and chairs than to sleep on the side of the official road.
Lai Yue took a thin blanket from the bag and put it on the chair, and then took out steamed buns and water bladders from the bag.
"Young master, let's drink saliva!"
He Changdi sat at the table and closed his eyes to recuperate, he took the water bladder handed over by Yue and drank a few sips.
Then he took a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
The package also brought some jerky, and He Saburo put steamed buns in one hand and jerky in the other, and mechanically stuffed them into his mouth.
In fact, after he was harmed by Chu Lian in his last life, he suffered a lot and was outcast, even the roots of the turf tree were gnawed, and now he can eat steamed buns and dried meat, which is already very good, it stands to reason that there is nothing to complain about, and he is not a hypocritical person at all.
But I don't know why, I have never had any requirements for food just to fill my stomach, in this wilderness gnawing dry steamed buns and throat-pulling dried meat always feel that the whole body is not a taste, the mouth is mechanically chewing, slightly closed eyes, what emerges in front of me is the delicious rock sugar white fungus lotus seed porridge, otherwise it is a hot and fresh hand, or it is a scallion pancake with the fragrance of green onions......
He Changdi swallowed the dried white steamed bun in his mouth, opened his eyes irritably, and forced himself not to think about the delicacies made by that poisonous woman.
Biting down on the jerky fiercely, when he thought that Chu Lian, the poisonous woman, didn't know what to do tonight, the more he ate it, the more it tasted.
Barely swallowing a few mouthfuls to block the hunger in his stomach, He Saburo impatiently threw the steamed buns and dried meat in his hand back to the package, drank another saliva, and spread the blanket on the ground to force himself to sleep.
The two of them were tired and didn't want to move after running all day, so they leaned closer to the corner of the table, pinched a steamed bun, took a bite and sighed, looked up at the moon hidden in the clouds, swallowed a mouthful of steamed bread and sighed: "I really miss the braised pork made by the third grandmother, the taste is so fragrant, but unfortunately I can't eat it in the future." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was cold, and when he turned his head, he met He Changdi's cold and angry eyes, thinking of the unpalatable look on the face of the third young master when he was eating just now, and quickly closed his mouth.
He Changdi saw that his surroundings were finally quiet, and closed his eyes with a straight face.
That poisonous woman, this time he deliberately left someone to watch inseparably by her side, to see if she dared to hook up with Xiao Wujing!
If they dare to hook up at all, then he will absolutely mercilessly abandon her, make her discredited, and never raise her head in Shengjing again!
Thinking of Chu Lian's appearance of receiving his handwritten letter from Mama Zhong, He Sanlang, a snake spirit, felt that he had taken revenge on Chu Lian, so he dissipated the depression of eating unpalatable dry food in his heart, and his dark face improved.
With his hands behind his head, he gradually fell asleep.
But in the second half of the night, suddenly there were showers, the wind was blowing, the grass shed was overturned, the thunder roared, and the raindrops of beans fell in an instant, and the master and servant who slept on the ground were instantly drenched in the cold.
He Changdi rolled up the cover in embarrassment, carrying the package and hiding under the table with Lai Yue to avoid the rain......
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the next day the master and servant went on the road in wet clothes, and they ate steamed buns and dried meat soaked in the rain, and He Saburo's face became even more stinky.
Lai Yue followed behind with an embarrassed smile, "Young Master, you will be on your way first, when we get to the town, we can have a hot meal, although it is not as delicious as the third grandmother's cooking, but it is definitely much better than this soaked steamed bun and jerky." ”
Lai Yue felt that it was a kind and kind word of comfort, but when it fell into He Sanlang's ears, it was like water poured into an oil pot, which almost made He Changdi explode.
"Shut up, if you mention Chu Lian again, I won't let you eat hot rice. ”
Leaving this sentence, He Changdi whipped the horse's ass with a black and handsome face, and took the lead in galloping out along the official road.
This kid didn't know where he offended the third young master with a good word, so he grabbed his hair strangely, and could only hurry up and follow.
"Hey, young master, don't run so fast, wait for the little one!"
Chu Lian slept until dawn, extra sweet, last night's rainstorm made today's temperature drop slightly, the flowers and plants in the small garden in the early morning were hanging with dewdrops, take a deep breath of the morning air, comfortable no.
Just woke up, Chu Lian was staring at the top of the tent embroidered with a picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, thinking about things.
According to the original text, the previous heroine made the eldest grandmother Zou seriously injured in the fire in the big kitchen in order to hold the power of Jing'anbo Mansion, and the Zou family's maiden family is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she is the eldest granddaughter of the Dingyuan Marquis.
And tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the old Dingyuan Marquis, and as an in-law, Jing'an Bofu is bound to congratulate.
In the original text, Zou was seriously injured and couldn't go out, so he Lao Taijun could only take Chu Lian in the original book to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to congratulate, and Chu Lian, the original owner in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, not only saw Xiao Bojian again, but also a series of things happened to ruin Chu Lian's reputation, making Chu Lian and He Lao Taijun have a disagreement.
Now, now that she knows about the development of the text, she will never go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to take this troubled water again.
Besides, now the sister-in-law Zou is very good, and it doesn't matter if she goes or not for Jing'anbo Mansion.
After making a plan, Chu Lian got up, and this morning he taught Xiyan to make xiaolongbao soup, a drawer of xiaolongbao was moved down from the steamer by the maid, steaming with a good smell, picking one up, biting a small opening slightly, gently sucking off the fragrant soup flowing out of it, and then eating the xiaolongbao of the right size, the taste is really wonderful.
With crispy pickled cucumbers and glutinous white rice porridge, Chu Lian ate half a steamed bun.
The rest of the steamed buns were eaten by the maids and grandmothers in the yard.
In the end, the three of them actually grabbed a basket of steamed buns, and the three of them gobbled it up, where can they still see the arrogance and composure when they came last night.
Chu Lian looked at the appearance of the three of them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, I don't know how He Changdi would feel if he knew that she had "bought" the person he sent for two meals.
After eating, he asked Mama Zhong again.
Chu Lian is not a person who likes to sell guanzi, and there is no such person as Mama Zhong in the original text, so she asked directly in front of Mama Zhong.
Mama Zhong's mouth opened slightly, but she didn't expect that in just one night, the third grandmother would see the special nature of the two girls who asked Qing and Lan.
She suppressed the shock in her heart and replied: "Third grandmother, ask Qing and Lan The two girls have indeed practiced martial arts. ”
Chu Lian set his eyes on Wen Qing and Lan, who had an ordinary face and a medium stature, and continued curiously: "I don't know how Wen Qing and Lan are doing?"
Mama Zhong was full of black lines, and she quickly looked up at Chu Lian in disbelief, why did she think that the brain circuit of the delicate third grandmother in front of her was different from others, if the ordinary young grandmother shouldn't frown and ask: Why do you put such a maid by my side, do you not believe me?
Then she calmly replied: Third grandmother, you are too worried.
But this girl didn't follow the script at all, which made her have no chance to say the draft she had typed earlier.
Mama Zhong swallowed a mouthful of depressed old blood, her eyelids trembled, and she looked at Wen Qing.
Receiving the eyes of Mama asking for help, Wen Qing hurriedly took a step forward, and said proudly: "Back to the third grandmother, there is no problem for the slave and maid to deal with the four or five men who are waiting for leisure." ”
Mama Chung: ......
What to do, she felt that even the calm Wen Qing on weekdays was taken to the ditch by the third grandmother.
They're here to spy on the young grandmother! What kind of trouble are you going to make with that little loyal dog with a proud face who wants to protect the goddess and ask for praise and praise!
Mama Zhong has no doubt that if she adds a wagging dog tail to the back of Wen Qing at this time, she will definitely be able to interpret her current appearance more vividly.
Mama Zhong felt that it was necessary to mention the two girls again after going back today.
Yesterday, he thought that asking Qing and Lan to know martial arts was just Chu Lian's speculation, but now that they recognized it, Chu Lian suddenly became excited.
A pair of black black jade eyes lit up like stars.
It's good to know martial arts! And it's so powerful! When you go out in the future, this is a free bodyguard!
He Changdi finally did something to himself.
