This time I went there in a bit of a hurry and didn't bring much with me, just four carriages.
Qiao Rui's family wanted to go to Kyoto with Shuangxi. Shuangxi did not refuse and agreed directly. Otherwise, there would be no one to take care of them along the way, which would be really inappropriate.
Although Qiao Rui is young now, he is somewhat cold-blooded, and he treats everyone without pretense. Only when he saw Shuangxi, he became much more well-behaved, which made Shuangxi want to accept him as his adopted son.
But this didn't work out. Although the soul inside the shell was more than enough to be Qiao Rui's mother, the current skin was only fifteen years old... so Shuangxi directly recognized Qiao Rui as his younger brother.
Along the way, because of Qiao Rui's company, Shuangxi was a little more joyful, and the sadness between his brows was much less, which made several men slowly begin to accept this little devil.
The journey to Kyoto is very long. Even if you drive quickly, it still takes half a month. Sometimes you will inevitably have to stay overnight in the wild.
Today is already the third day that Shuangxi and others set out from Qingshan County. For the past three days, Shuangxi has been feeling sleepy. She couldn't help but think about Qi Han. Even if she really saw him, how could she do it? What?
The person driving the carriage outside was Shen Yan. Su Yu and Shen Ziyan were squeezed into Shuangxi's carriage. The three carriages behind were driven by Su Yu and several entourages.
Seeing Shuangxi's gloomy look, Su Yu hugged Shuangxi in her arms and said to Shuangxi, "Xi'er, don't worry. There will be a road to the mountain. Besides, you still have us."
Shuangxi looked at Su Yu's extremely serious expression and felt at ease.
It was getting very late at this time. Shuangxi and others decided to find an open place to rest. They could not rest directly on the road. If they encountered people riding horses on the night road while sleeping at night, they would not be able to trample on them. I was also so shocked that I couldn't sleep well that night.
Of course, the resting place cannot be too far away from the road. If it is too far, it will be troublesome.
Qiao Rui was young and energetic. As soon as the carriage stopped, he ran out.
"Sister! Come and see! There is a family here!" Qiao Rui shouted after a while.
The sky was dark, and although Qiao Rui's figure could still be seen, he could not see the house that Qiao Rui was talking about.
In front of the place where Qiao Rui is, there should be a small forest.
Shuangxi and others were in the open space on the roadside, not far from Qiao Rui, and suddenly they wouldn't let Qiao Rui run there.
"Fu Fan, go over and take a look." Su Yu ordered. She thought to herself that if there really was a family, she could use the money to stay overnight.
Butler Fu's footsteps were very fast, and he arrived at Qiao Rui's place in a short while. Following Qiao Rui's gaze, he saw a family in the woods. In the yard of that family, there were also There was constant laughter, it must be someone.
Butler Fu immediately brought Qiao Rui back. He told Su Yu, "There is indeed a family."
Su Yu glanced at Shen Ziyan, and Shen Ziyan understood. He said warmly: "Let's go and have a look. If possible, we can stay for one night. Even if it is inconvenient to stay, we can still ask for some hot water."
Shuangxi nodded. Camping in the wilderness would feel fresh once or twice, but if it was done too often, it would be really annoying. If nothing else, the mosquitoes were really driving people crazy.
Shuangxi looked at the men around him, and finally his eyes fell on the Qiao family's wife, and said to the Qiao family's wife: "Yue Niang, let's go over and take a look."
We can't let a few grown men knock on someone's door, right? In this wilderness, who's house wouldn't be frightened half to death if so many men suddenly came? It's better for her and Yueniang to go and discuss it with them first.
, it would be better to let them in again.
Shen Ziyan and others followed behind without worrying about any problems or dangers, but they would be the ones to intervene when the time came.
Entering the grove, I saw a small path that was only wide enough for a carriage to pass. The trees on both sides were lush and green, giving people a very dark feeling.
The carriage they brought was handed over to the three attendants to watch. Shuangxi and Yueniang led Qiao Rui in front, followed not far away by Shen Ziyan and others.
As they got closer, Shuangxi finally saw what this family looked like. The appearance of this family really shocked Shuangxi. The one in the Gaomen Courtyard was no different from the mansion in the county town.
Of course, this yard is not big, just like an ordinary farmer's house.
This caused Shuangxi to have doubts in his heart. He felt that this was not a normal family.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about this house. Which farmer would build such a courtyard for his home? If this small courtyard was blocked by this courtyard wall, wouldn’t it be very dark and damp?
The average farmer's house just casually fences off the yard and gets away with it. It's really rare to see a house like this that builds the yard wall seriously.
Just when Shuangxi felt that something was fishy and was about to think about it again, Yueniang had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Bang bang bang." Following the sound of Yueniang knocking on the door, the bursts of laughter in the yard suddenly disappeared.
Yueniang suddenly said: "Madam, I just heard laughter inside, why did it suddenly disappear? Could it be that I met a ghost?"
When Yueniang said this, Shuangxi felt a chill go down his spine, and he quickly said: "Bah! Bah! Bah! There is no ghost in this clear sky!" After saying this, Shuangxi realized that he was simply deceiving himself, as the sky was almost completely dark.
It's getting dark, but there's still no clear sky and daylight.
Looking back, he could still see Shen Ziyan and others, which made Shuangxi feel at ease.
"Mom, sister, I just saw someone coming in from the road. It's not a ghost. Those two people were carrying a big wine jar. How can there be a ghost who knows how to drink?" Qiao Rui's childish voice sounded.
Although Qiao Rui is young, he knows a lot of things. With Qiao Rui's words, he felt relieved when he saw his wife, and was about to knock on the door again.
Then I heard a thin female voice coming from the courtyard: "Who is it?"
"We were passing by. Seeing that it was getting dark, we wanted to stay at your place... If it's inconvenient, we'll just buy some food." Shuangxi's crisp voice sounded.
"Where are you from? Where are you going?" The door did not open, but the woman in the yard asked about it.
This was not a secret to begin with, so Shuangxi answered casually: "We are coming from Qingshan County and going to Kyoto."
The woman in the courtyard opened the door at this time and saw Shuangxi and Mrs. Qiao, two women with a child, and her face became calm.
When the woman looked at Shuangxi, Shuangxi also looked at the woman. He saw that the woman was scantily clad and was wearing a red gauze dress. She did not look like a woman from a good family.
The woman in red looked behind Shuangxi and saw Shen Ziyan and others behind Shuangxi. Shuangxi quickly explained: "Those are the little girl's husband and his entourage." It would save a lot of trouble to say it this way. After all, it is not
Everyone who knows she is the wife can accept it.
For such people who only plan to stay for one night, Shuangxi does not intend to explain too much.
"How many of you are there?" the woman in red asked.
"Ah?" Shuangxi didn't expect that the woman in red would suddenly ask this question, as if she was trying to find out about the enemy.
Seeing Shuangxi's expression change, the woman in red quickly explained: "I'm planning to prepare some food for you... You have to ask everyone about this, right?"
Shuangxi was a little confused, how could this woman in red be so hospitable?
At this moment, the woman in red said with a smile: "A person can take care of himself with half a tael of silver."
Hearing the woman in red mention money, Shuangxi felt relieved. She had to be more careful in this barren mountain. If the woman in red was really kind enough to let them eat for free, it would be a bit strange. The more she asked for nothing.
, the more it makes people suspicious.
After the woman in red looked around Shuangxi, she saw that Shuangxi was well-dressed and handsome, so she didn't ask Shuangxi how many people were here, opened the door directly, and said to Shuangxi, "Come in."
Shuangxi did not go in directly, but stood there and waited for Shen Ziyan and the others.
The woman in red saw four men approaching. She looked up and saw that these four men were all of noble appearance and good temperament.
Among these four men, there are of course the three husbands of Shuangxi, but the extra one is Yueniang's husband - Qiao Hai. To be honest, Qiao Hai is tall and looks a bit rough, but in fact he is really handsome.
Yes, a pair of eyebrows slanted into the temples, and his eyes were piercing. Looking at Qiao Rui's look, you knew that although Qiao Haisheng was not as good-looking as the men in Shuangxi, he was still much better than the average person.
Shuangxi looked at the four men, pointed at Su Yu and said, "This is my husband, and the rest are my followers."
Shuangxi pointed out that Su Yu was not partial to Shuangxi. In the past, she would have said that Shen Ziyan was her husband, but today... that was not possible.
There is no other reason, but what Su Yu is wearing today is really too coquettish! That dark purple gold brocade robe with wide sleeves is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear. He is dressed like this. If he is said to be a follower, it would be a ghost.
letter!
Shen Ziyan and Shen Yan had already settled their relationship with Su Yu when they were in trouble. At this time, they had no hostility towards Su Yu. Naturally, they would not be angry when Shuangxi said this.
After all, Su Yu was the son of a wealthy family. He was full of nobility in every gesture. He took two steps forward, saluted the woman in red and said, "Girl, I'm sorry to bother you."
When the woman in red saw Su Yu's outfit, her eyes started to light up. She didn't expect that this time it would be such a fat sheep! The woman in red was carried away by a kind of joy called "waiting for rabbits".
