Concubine Raiders Chapter 22: Departure

　　 The first lunar month is eighteen, and the year is scary. It is advisable to break the soil, repair the grave, build, recruit extravagance, travel, ask for money, seek medical treatment, and avoid marrying, getting married, living in peace, living apart, and accepting.

　　 Just after daybreak, the gates of Luo Mansion were all opened, leading a Cui Gaizhu Ying Babao car, followed by two Zhulun Canopy cars, and then more than 20 black-painted flat-top cars followed closely, with three floors inside. The outer third floor was guarded by guards, got a horseshoe cart, and the sound of the wheels of the bones rushed toward the post road to the east.

　　 The entire Yuhang city was awakened. People who got up early and drove the streets in twos and threes watched the excitement.

　　 "Look, it's Luo's carriage..."

　　 "It's so magnificent!"

　　"Just after the new year, where did this go?"

　　 "I heard that I went to Yanjing to see my daughter and son-in-law!"

　　 Eleven Niang sits in the carriage, unable to hear the comments from the outside, with her hands closed in her sleeves, her fingertips lightly traversing the ice-cooling and mirror-like cutting surface of the gemstone, but her heart is like a river that can’t calm down. .

　　 That is a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg.

　　 was given to her by Wu Yiniang when she went to say goodbye to Wu Yiniang last night.

　　"The only things in my room that are rewarded by the elder wife, they are all in the account books to be found and can’t be moved. Only this sapphire was given to me by the elder when I first went to Fujian, and no one else knew... You are going to Yanjing this time, and I can’t stay with you. After you take care of this, you can exchange some money for defense if you have anything. You must listen to your wife along the way and don’t make her angry. The young lady gets along well and can’t argue. You have to bear everything...be careful about everything..." At the end of the day, tears have fallen like rain, "I want to understand. You come here less, only the older lady likes it. You have a good future... in my whole life, I beg you to have a good home..."

　　 really want to understand?

　　 I’m afraid it’s just a last resort!

　　 Thinking of this, Eleven Niang feels her nose is slightly sour.

　　 Wu Yiniang has fallen out of favor a long time ago. When she was sick, her private money was almost used. This sapphire is probably left by her for self-defense and life...

　　 "Don't worry, my mother has been very generous to me in recent years, and has also put on top jewellery. I don't have money on hand... Keep this one!"

　　 I have a guilty conscience for occupying this body, so how can I ask for her things!

　　 Wu Yiniang insisted on giving her: "...Although you haven't come to see me often in the past two years, you always come to please me every Dragon Boat Festival, August 15th, and Spring Festival, and never fall, see me, There is only joy and no worries. No matter how stupid I am, I understand in my heart that you are afraid that we are too intimate and make my heart uncomfortable... At this time, you still don't tell me anything..." She cried like a pear flower "You’re older and have your own ideas. Since you don’t say anything, I don’t ask. If you leave, I don’t know if we can see you again... I just want to tell you something in your heart. Leave me alone, No matter what happens, you have to live. As long as you live, I will die and give birth to you...you will have a good life."

　　 is like something suddenly thrown into my heart, wave after wave, shattering her hard barriers, the emotions hidden in my heart pouring out... her tears flowed without warning come out.

　　 Aunt Wu wiped her tears awkwardly: "Don't cry, don't cry. This thing is of no use to me. As long as I am obedient, the old lady will not treat me like that. You are different, you are away from home. , There is no one to rely on... The big lady rewards everything on the bright side. If you have this self-defense, you may be able to save your life. If you don’t take it, how can I feel at ease... Don’t let people see..."

　　 Eleven Niang was sitting in the carriage dazedly, thinking about the scene when Wu Yi Niang stuffed herself with a blue stone treasure, her heart was so mixed, she couldn't tell what it was like.

　　 She only knows that she owes too much to Wu Yi Niang...

　　 Amber looked at the silent Eleven Mother, her heart confused.

　　 Yesterday at noon, Xu's mother suddenly came to tell them that Bin Ju could also go with them!

　　 The house was full of joy.

　　 She still remembers Miss Eleven’s smile—not the kind of gentle smile that makes people like a spring breeze, but a smile like the sky after the rain, clean, clear, and clear.

　　 In the flint and lightning, she suddenly understood.

　　 It turns out that this is Miss Eleven’s smile from the heart.

　　 Her heart was tingled slightly.

　　 Only in front of people who can trust, Miss Eleven will do this!

　　 So when Mama Xu finished her message, she took the initiative to send Mama Xu out, trying to avoid the joy of coming in the house.

　　Who knows, when she walked out of Luyunlou, Mother Xu took her hand and looked at her with a smile for a long time. After looking at her for a long time, she said something that shocked her: "Amber has grown up and become beautiful. But also remember, you have today, whose grace is it!"

　　 Xu's mother would not say such a thing for no reason.

　　 she thought, her back was a little cold.

　　No one knows what happened to Yanjing? The real intention of the lady taking them there? If it's between your wife and the young lady... if you are not a person inside and outside, let alone what happened, I'm afraid she will be the hapless person who is in the wrong!

　　 was quiet in the carriage, and the sound of the carriage rushing outside clearly came in. Miss Eleven closed her eyes to calm herself, but she felt very depressed.

　　

　　 The carriage went on for more than an hour and then stopped slowly. A mother surnamed Jiang next to his wife came to ask Eleven Mother: "Miss wants to go to the toilet?"

　　 Eleven mothers lifted the curtains and saw a simple tea room by the side of the road. The tea room was surrounded by the Luo family's guardian. Several five-big and three-thick women were using black coarse cloth to enclose the tea room. Surrounded.

　　 "The place is shabby, but you have to go to the toilet again. After an hour, the lady will still have it!" Mother Jiang persuaded Eleven.

　　Eleven mothers saw Mrs. Xu getting out of the carriage with Mama Xu and walking towards Chaliao.

　　 "Thank you mom!" Eleven Niang smiled and thanked Mama Jiang, then put on a drapery hat and got out of the car with Humber's help.

　　 Just as she got out of the car, Wu Niang, who was sitting in the carriage in front of her, also got out of the car with Ziwei's support.

　　 The two smiled at each other through their white gauze hats, and walked towards the tea house.

　　The tea house is divided into two parts. The outside is a shed built with bamboo strips, and the inside is a small room.

　　 The two stood in the shed and waited for a while. The eldest wife was helped by Mama Xu and walked out. Seeing Wu Niang and Eleven Niang wearing drapery hats, she nodded slightly and smiled. : "The road is no better than home, you have to take care of it."

　　 The two men bowed their knees and saluted "Yes".

　　 Mrs. 　　 got into the carriage, and Eleven Niang asked Wu Niang to go first, and then she went in when Wu Niang came out.

　　 There are two front and back rooms in the house. The front is a small tea room, and the back is a stove. A red lacquered toilet is placed in the center of the tea room.

　　 Eleven Niang managed to endure the discomfort and solved the physical problem, then walked out of the tea room and waited for Amber to come out. The two got back into the carriage.

　　 After a while, there was a chirping chuckle from Chaliao, Eleven Niang lifted the curtain, and saw Cuckoo, Du Wei and Wu Niang’s little maidservants Zhuo Tao and Sui Er sitting on the carriage behind. Waiting for people to talk and smile into the tea room.

　　 is a bit like a service station on a highway...

　　 Eleven Niang's mouth turned up slightly and she laughed.

　　 I heard Mother Jiang’s voice: "Girls, be careful to let people watch jokes."

　　The little maids either stuck out their tongues or made faces, but did they calm down?

　　 After stopping for about half a time, the carriage restarted.

　　 After midday, their carriage arrived at Hangzhou Mansion, but did not enter the city. They circled the city northward to the dock.

　　 There was a three-masted red-painted galleon waiting there. The stewards had already enclosed a passage with a tent, and sent a rough woman to stand on the red-painted boat ladder to serve them. ferry.

　　 The carriage was parked in an empty space in front of the passage. A man in his thirties brought an old man with white beard and hair and a handsome young man in his early twenties to greet the elder wife, who was behind the carriage curtain. After speaking to them, the old man and the young man stepped back respectfully.

　　 Amber explained behind the eleven mother: "The middle-aged surnamed Tao is the manager of the Luo family in Hangzhou, and the gray-haired manager is the manager of Niu. He opened a small silk shop in Hangzhou. , Pick up the goods at Luo’s main store. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival, he goes to greet his wife, and behind him is his young son Niu Jin, taking care of the silk shop of Niu’s family."

　　Everyone is gone, but the tea is not cold. From this point of view, the Chief Niu is really a capable person...

　　 Eleven Niang nodded slightly, holding the curtain of the carriage and continuing to look out.

　　 I saw two sedan chairmen carrying a sedan chair with a tin soap cover and soap curtains and walking towards this side. A lenten woman was followed by the sedan chair. There were seven or eight people wearing soap clothes in front of the sedan chair and behind the sedan chair. Ya Ya.

　　 Amber smiled and said: "It's the wife of the prefect of Hangzhou, Lord Zhou."

　　 As soon as her voice fell, the eleven mother saw the old lady getting off the carriage with Mama Xu's support, and greeted the sedan chair. The woman next to the sedan chair looked at and said lowly to the people in the sedan chair. After a few words, the sedan chair stopped, and the office servants were scattered around. A lenten woman wearing a royal blue makeup and a large emerald flower on her head got off the sedan chair. The two of them saluted each other from a distance. Smiled and held her hands together. After saying a few words, Mother Xu gave a few boxes of gifts, and the old lady sent the woman onto the sedan chair. Watching the sedan chair go away, she turned around and gave a few words to Mama Jiang and went to the boat with Mama Xu.

　　 Jiang's mother first ran to the Wuniang carriage and whispered a few times, and then ran to the elevenniang carriage: "Miss Eleven, the eldest lady let me get off the car and board the boat."

　　Eleven Niang watched Wu Niang stepping on the footstool and getting out of the carriage supported by Ziwei, and she also got out of the carriage supported by Huanghu.

　　 The two followed the old lady and got on the boat one after another.

　　 The ship is very large, divided into two floors. The escorts and ruthless wives live on the top, and they live on the bottom. The big wife has four rooms, and she and Wuniang have two rooms each.

　　 Someone in the big cabin had already prepared steaming food.

Mrs. 　　 told them: "...We will leave in half an hour."

　　 Neither of them are hungry~ IndoMTL.com~ I had a snack on the way. But he didn't dare to flick the big lady, and ate a small bowl. During the meal, heavy footsteps can be heard from time to time passing by the corridor beside the large cabin. When the tableware and chopsticks are put down, the sound is gone. Mother Xu went out to take a look, and came back to report to the wife: "The cages are all packed."

Mrs. 　　 nodded, and told Mother Xu: "Then set sail! Try to stay in Suzhou tonight."

　　 Xu's mother answered, and quickly turned back and said: "You can set off with half a stick of incense."

Mrs. 　　 nodded, and said to their sisters: "You are tired all the way, let's go and rest each!"

　　 Eleven Niang bowed her knees to salute, but Wu Niang said: "Mother is also exhausted, or should I help beat the leg?"

　　 "No need!" The big lady smiled, "It's the first time you take a boat, and you don't know if you are seasick, just take care of yourself."

　　 Wu Niang saw that the big lady had made up her mind, so she retreated with a smile.

　　 Luo Qiao was busy fetching water to serve the eldest wife to freshen up and rest, but Mother Xu had to check the cages with Coral and Tortoiseshell.

When 　　Eleven Mother returned to the house, Holly was also checking the cages.

　　 Thinking that they were on the boat with Mama Jiang, she couldn’t help asking: "Have you all eaten?"

　　 Binju’s face still has the joy of being able to go to Yanjing, and he immediately smiled and said: "No. But, we are not hungry. We had a snack on the road."

　　 Dongqing also smiled: "Miss, don't care about us, Mama Jiang said, let us go to the cabin in half an hour-we have arranged food, let us check the contents of each house first before we say." /

　　Eleven mothers looked at the arrangement in order, and didn't say anything. Bin Ju and Qiu Ju served to rest and had a good night's sleep.

　　 (I crawl and crawl on the grid... There is one more tonight!)
