Chapter 10: Riding with a Rival
Yu Qingyao carried a small green cloth baggage, went out, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you and Master won't come on foot, right?"
Li Huaide laughed and said, "How is it possible?"
"And how did you get here?
"No, when we came, Master used paper horsemanship, and we came on paper horses. β
Yu Qingyao remembered that they were indeed riding white horses at that time, and thought to herself that it was no wonder that they hadn't seen those two white horses in the past two days. She asked, "Why don't you use it when Master goes back?"
Li Huaide smiled: "I can ride a horse, but you can't ride." β
Yu Qingyao was speechless.
came to the Li family.
Wang Daochang motioned for her to follow.
Following Wang Daochang to the door, the Zhao family led her into a carriage.
Yu Qingyao had never seen the carriage, so she looked at the inside of the carriage curiously.
The back wall of the car is a seat, and the two compartments are temporarily placed on benches, which can also sit people. There are small windows on each side of the car wall, and bamboo curtains are hung.
The car was the daughter of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family asked Zhao Xiuzhen to bring two sisters to accompany her.
Seeing that it was Zhao Xiuzhen in the car, Yu Qingyao was a little hesitant.
Zhao Xiuzhen patted her side and smiled, "Miss Yu, please take a seat!"
Yu Qingyao thought about it and understood that the Zhao family was the most suitable to accompany her, except for Zhao Xiuzhen, there was no one else. There was no reason for a woman to accompany her, and the other girls were not enough.
"Excuse me!" Yu Qingyao sat down.
Yu Qingyao and Zhao Xiuzhen sat side by side, and next to them were Zhao Xiuzhen's two maid rings.
Zhao Xiuzhen talked to Yu Qingyao very kindly, asking her what she usually plays, what she likes to eat, and so on.
Yu Qingyao flipped through the memories of the original body and coped with a few words.
After a while, the carriage started and went out of the village.
Yu Qingyao looked at the time on the system, half past two in the afternoon.
She hadn't been in a carriage before, and she didn't know how long she would have to ride. Then he asked, "How long will it take for this car to reach Baishan City?"
Zhao Xiuzhen said: "It will take more than an hour." β
Yu Qingyao understood, it would take two to three hours, it was spring, and it was estimated that it would be almost evening when she arrived in the city. Do the math, the speed of this carriage is not fast, the speed is about twenty miles per hour.
The carriage was a little shaky, the road was not smooth, and Yu Qingyao sat holding on to the handrail on the side all the time.
"The Li family is so far away, I'm tired from riding in the car. Zhao Xiuzhen complained.
"It's a bit far indeed. Another girl said.
Yu Qingyao smiled secretly, in ancient times, taking a long-distance carriage was really physical work. In order not to fall and not to hurt the buttocks, you have to work your hands and feet.
At first, Zhao Xiuzhen didn't have anything to say, so she chatted with Yu Qingyao.
She asked about the village and Yu Qingyao's living situation.
Yu Qingyao replied casually according to the memory of the original body.
Zhao Xiuzhen pretended to mention his daily life unintentionally. I ate some snacks yesterday, I recently made a new silk skirt, and the day before yesterday I participated in a poetry meeting of a certain official lady, etc.
Yu Qingyao heard what she meant, this was hinting to herself, I am rich and you are poor, I am the eldest lady. You don't deserve to rob Li Huaide with me.
Yu Qingyao understands this. She is good at this kind of intrigue between girls and insinuating the way of speaking.
She imagined her life in the Taoist temple in the future, pretending to be naΓ―ve and talking about the ideal of slaying demons and eliminating demons in the future.
This is an implication that I am a Taoist, and wealth and wealth are like floating clouds with me.
Zhao Xiuzhen was a little depressed, this is telling me: Are you and Li Huaide just brother and sister? Or are you a good pair of like-minded people?
After a while, Zhao Xiuzhen asked Li Huaide what he liked to eat and play.
Yu Qingyao, hehe, Ma Phi, is this a demonstration like me?
So, she talked about how good Li Huaide was to her when she was a child, what rice cakes he gave her to eat one day, corn cakes to her to eat one day, and another time he quietly stole sugar cakes from the family for her to eat.
She also demonstrated and told Zhao Xiuzhen, I am good with Li Huaide, and we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. You have nothing to be proud of.
Zhao Xiu was so angry that she secretly grinded her teeth.
After a while, everyone lost the energy to talk, and only cared about holding on to the handrail. In ancient times, riding in a car was really a manual task.
At dusk, we arrived at White Mountain Castle.
After entering the city gate, I walked three streets and the car stopped.
Wang Daochang shouted outside: "Qing Yao, get out of the car!"
Yu Qingyao said goodbye to Miss Zhao, jumped out of the car, walked to Wang Daochang's side, and asked, "Master, have you arrived?"
She saw that there were shops on both sides, not the appearance of Taoist temples.
Wang Daochang smiled: "It's not there yet, this is still one street away from the Taoist Temple." I'll take you to buy something. β
Yu Qingyao smiled and asked, "What does Master want to buy?"
Wang Daochang smiled and said, "I bought it for you." β
Yu Qingyao asked in surprise, "What do you want to buy?"
Wang Daochang said indifferently: "You have to remake all your clothes, and buy some things that girls need." You are my apprentice, you have to go out decently. β
Yu Qingyao sweated and said, "Let the master break the bank." β
Wang Daochang nodded, took her to a ready-to-wear store, bought two sets of silk dresses that fitted, took her to a rouge shop, bought her a set of toiletries, and went to Jiayinlou and bought her two sets of silver jewelry. In the end, she was led to a tailor shop and asked the boss to tailor her clothes and order four sets of robes, four underwear, and four sets of martial arts training costumes.
Yu Qingyao sweated profusely, she silently calculated, and after a trip, the master spent more than three hundred taels of silver on her.
Yu Qingyao felt that it was good to meet such a master!
After shopping, Yu Qingyao followed the master to the Feiyun Temple in the city. In front of the view is a tall red stele tower.
The Taoist temple has red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. Yu Qingyao walked headlong and looked around.
As soon as the Wang Dao Chang appeared, the Taoist guarding the door immediately stepped forward to salute.
Wang Daochang led Yu Qingyao to the dining room, and the Taoists here stepped forward one after another to salute.
Everyone looked at Yu Qingyao curiously, not knowing what it meant for the master to lead a small village girl, and they didn't dare to ask.
Wang Daochang said to the leading Taoist priest, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a white face and beard: "Xiao Wei, this is your little junior sister Yu Qingyao, take care of it more in the future." β
Xiao Wei hurriedly smiled and said, "Master, okay!"
Wang Daochang said to Yu Qingyao: "This is your twelfth senior brother, Xiao Wei, look for him if you want to eat here." β
Yu Qingyao hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet Senior Brother Xiao." β
"Senior sister, if you have something, just look for me to make sure you are satisfied. Xiao Wei turned to Wang Daochang and asked, "Master, you have newly accepted your junior sister, do you want to hold a banquet?"
Wang Daochang hesitated and said, "Don't do it here, just wait until you go back to the mountain and invite a few of your uncles to drink once." β
"Yes!"
"Where's your Uncle Ding?" asked Wang Daochang.
Feiyunguan is divided into two courtyards on the mountain and under the mountain, which is the lower courtyard in the city, presided over by Ding Jin, the younger brother of Wang Daochang. Responsible for dealing with officialdom and handling ordinary affairs.
"Uncle Ding went to drink with the envoy of Feng Jiedu. β
The envoy of the feudal degree is the prince of the state.
Wang Daochang nodded and asked Xiao Wei to pass the meal. He took Yu Qingyao into the box, and the other Taoists dispersed.
Xiao Wei called his subordinates to urge tea, poured tea for the master himself, and talked to the master and sister.
