Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 53 On the Road
It is March, the spring is bright and everything is recovering.

Seeing the flowers gradually blooming and sprouting in the mansion, everyone is willing to take a walk outside.Who would want to lock it up if they can go out? Before Fourth Lady was struggling with how to ask her elders.The old lady has already sent a message that the whole family will go to Changping Zhuangzi for a spring outing tomorrow, and will return in three days.

The whole family naturally includes a group of hard-working students, not only Sanlang and the fourth lady are crazy about joy, but even the prudent eldest lady and the introverted fifth lady are all overjoyed.Huilan and second cousin Liulang belonged to the middle class, not as ecstatic as the first two, but a little more excited than the latter.

The whole family packed their bags overnight, and there were many yards in the house when the lights were on until Haishi.Huilan only needs to take care of her own toys, and she doesn't have to worry about the rest, even everything for martial arts training can be taken care of by Tourmaline.

Hui Lan carefully put away the two exquisite paper kites sent by Cousin Wang the day before yesterday, thinking that she could play with them when she got there.I couldn't help being a little excited, so excited that I fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Everyone got up early the next day, and Chen Chu gathered at the old lady's place to set off, and no one was late.Hui Lan noticed the excitement on the faces of San Lang and Fourth Lady, and her eyes were a little red when she looked carefully.

Tsk tsk tsk, with such a bloody look, it must be that he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep.As for what, Hui Lan complained.

Uncle is here today, which is rare.After the fall of last year, this uncle began to work overtime indefinitely, and he was so busy that he never saw his end.With Hui Lan's schedule, she never sees him at all, except for Xiu Mu, it's good luck to see him five times out of ten.It is estimated that the old lady had spoken, and my uncle also asked for leave to accompany his family to Zhuangzi for a spring outing.

After the old lady packed up and came out, everyone chatted a few words, and then set off.Men ride horses, and the youngest Rokuro is no exception.Women all ride in horse-drawn carriages, plus the clothes and supplies of maids and servants, there are more than 20 double-riding carriages.There are more than a hundred guards on the side, and this line is not small.

Fortunately, it was an early departure, the gate had just opened, and there were few cars and horses on the road, otherwise there would be traffic jams.

When Si Niangzi got into the carriage, she dragged Huilan into Da Niangzi's carriage, and drove two of Da Niangzi's four servant girls out to her carriage.

The carriage rattled and moved forward steadily at a fixed rhythm, which made Hui Lan feel a little sleepy.The fourth lady was excitedly planning the program for the next few days, and of course Hui Lan couldn't sleep.

"Sister, I've already made an appointment with Arong from the Wei family, and they're all going to Changping to visit Shangsi. There should be a dozen or so sisters who will go, and that's enough to play polo." The fourth lady showed off her confidence with confidence.

The eldest lady leaned on the soft pillow and looked at the two younger sisters with a smile, "Okay, when the time comes when you play polo, A-Lian and I can enjoy it."

"Sister, why is she getting lazy? You are an expert on the polo field. How can you not play? We are the only ones who are not busy." Fourth Lady objected.

Hui Lan cheered up and nodded again and again, "That's right, the eldest sister Yingzi and the younger sister are fascinated." On the few times she went out before, she was lucky enough to watch a polo match between the eldest lady and the others.Immediately heroic, court demeanor, no worse than the main force of women's football in later generations.

The eldest lady's smile remained unchanged, "My sister is not feeling well these few days, you can call, I think it's fine."

The fourth lady was still a little ignorant, and kept asking her sister if she was feeling unwell and whether she had seen a doctor.

The eldest lady said it was all right and changed the topic without any trace.

Hui Lan noticed the rare lazy posture of the eldest lady and her red lips that were slightly pinker than usual, and then contacted her age, Hui Lan understood in seconds.Relatives are here, no wonder!
So he opened his mouth to help, "Fourth sister, I haven't played polo before, so you have to open my eyes. Wenqing is going too, and she probably will end up too. You take her with you."

Si Niangzi said happily, "Don't worry, polo is easy, you can understand everything after watching it once. Otherwise, you can sit with Sister and let her explain it to you. You are so smart, you must understand it at a glance. "As he spoke, he frowned in embarrassment, "Ah Qing is young, even if he wants to fight, it's not good for him to be with us."

Hui Lan blinked, "There's no rush, let's go and make arrangements."

The eldest lady shook her head with a smile, her younger sister is not stupid, but she is a bit stubborn.So she asked the servant girl to bring out the hot tea and hot snacks she had prepared, "Si Niang hardly ate anything in the morning, let's try this snack."

A set of porcelain embedded in a metal hollow shell was placed on the small magnetic table fixed in the carriage, with pots, cups and saucers.Of course, there is no condition to set up a full set of tea sets to cook tea on the carriage, but to use the hot water in the thermos to brew the pre-prepared tea powder.

The maid cleaned her hands and took out four warm snacks from the food box with a warm layer.With the tea soup made by the eldest lady herself, it made the fourth lady feel hungry.Immediately stopped, cleaned his hands and began to eat and drink.

The Daqin tea culture is quite popular, and since Huilan started school, tea has been included in her schedule.She had tasted authentic tea soup, and it tasted similar to the mush made from Wugu mill powder, and it was full of foam after one sip.Hui Lan's skills in making and ordering tea are mediocre, and she herself is not too fond of this kind of drink.In her room, Hui Lan just smashed the tuancha and brewed it with less broken tea leaves.Although everyone said it was indecent, they didn't restrict her too much and let her go.

When the sisters were cooking tea, she only drank one cup at most, and everyone was used to it, so they didn't care.

So here the eldest lady did not pour tea for her, but poured a cup of hot water.

Hui Lan meant to stop after breakfast with a piece of pastry, and just leaned on the soft pillow to watch Si Niangzi eat happily.After looking at it, he slowly narrowed his eyes.She and the eldest lady sat inside the car, seeing that she was sleepy, they gently laid her flat and covered her with a cloak, and closed their eyes to rest next to her.

The fourth lady was full, and the maids cleaned up the mess without making any loud noises.Seeing that the elder sister and younger sister were all asleep, and the fourth lady had no one to speak, she reclined on the soft pillow and fell asleep after a while.

The distance from the inner city to Changping is about 20 kilometers. Because there are old people and children in the team, the journey is slow.Set off at the first moment of the morning, and by the time Changping Zhuangzi arrived, it was already upright.

Hui Lan woke up for a while, and didn't want to disturb the fourth lady who was still asleep, so she winked with the eldest lady a few times, then excitedly lay down at the window to watch the scenery outside.Here is already the outskirts, the seedlings are sprouting, the grass is green, gradually dotted with wild flowers of various colors; insects are singing and birds are singing, butterflies are flying and bees are dancing, it is a scene of spring.

The boys riding horses outside took their companions and followed the team no longer in a proper manner.Suddenly rushing, sometimes chasing birds and butterflies, chattering non-stop.The adults in the team didn't care about them and let them play like crazy.

With this movement, it is estimated that no one can fall asleep.The fourth lady got up quickly, her eyes were hot, and she immediately clamored to go down to ride a horse.

The eldest lady knew her sister's temperament and her equestrian skills, so she didn't persuade her.He just stopped Erlang who was passing by and asked him to go ahead and report to his second uncle, and bring two of the horses brought by Si Niangzi.

Erlang responded with a smile, touched the head of the smiling fourth lady, and went to the front.

"Ah Hui, go ride a horse with me." Si Niangzi still remembered that her sister was not feeling well, so she didn't call her.

Hui Lan quickly shook her head, joking, although she looked at the beautiful spring, but riding a horse and blowing the wind...it must be uncomfortable. "My riding skills are not as good as the fourth sister's, so you should take Hsinchu with you."

Hsinchu is Si Niangzi's personal maidservant, she has followed the master, she is good at martial arts and horse riding, and it is convenient for her to take care of the excited Si Niangzi.

The eldest lady interrupted with a smile, "Clean up quickly, and don't forget to wear big clothes and a drapery hat. If you catch cold or hurt your skin from riding a horse, see if your mother will allow you to ride a horse again."

The fourth lady stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly asked the eldest lady's maid to help put on the thin cloak and drapery hat.The carriage drove out of the procession and stopped by the side of the road, the fourth lady got out of the carriage fully dressed, and got on the horse with Hsinchu, who was already waiting at the side.

"Sister, Ah Hui, I'll go first, we'll see Zhuangzi." The fourth lady couldn't see her face clearly with her veiled hat on, but she could tell from her voice that she was very excited.

"Ride slowly, Hsinchu looks at Si Niang." The eldest lady only reminded this sentence, and watched the two riders go away.

"Fourth sister hasn't rode a horse for more than three months, so it's obvious that she is exhausted." Hui Lan laughed and teased the eldest lady.

The eldest lady shook her head helplessly, "You don't look like a little lady, you should be a pair of living monkeys with Saburo."

Hui Lan thought of the two people who were both active and like fighting cocks, and her stomach hurt from laughing.The fourth lady really doesn't look like the eldest lady's own sister, but she and Sanlang look like her to the bone.

The carriage restarted and the convoy walked slowly.Without the fourth lady, the two sisters chatted quietly and watched the scenery.After a while, it will arrive.
