Chapter 8 Welcome
As the capital got closer and closer, the road became wider and wider, and cars and horses passed by from time to time on both sides.

There was even one horse flying away from the carriage every one or two quarters of an hour.

"Did you see it?" The new old man was sitting on this side of the window, pointing to a horse that had just galloped past, and said to his granddaughter: "That is the Sanhe horse that the imperial court used in a hurry. It can easily run more than 600 miles a day. loose."

The Sanhe horse has a strong and handsome body, is chestnut in color without any variegation, and has sparse tail hair. It can run very fast, so it is the first choice horse for imperial stations.

It is also most commonly used for urgent deliveries that often require fast horses to deliver messages.

When Xinnuo was in Xiangshui County, he also saw Sanhe horses, but Xiangshui County is a well-known poor county, and the post station only raised a skinny horse.

Because her grandfather was a member of the government, it was very convenient for her to get in and out of the inn. The three-hemored horse was cooked by her. She rode it once and it was indeed very fast.

It's just that that horse is completely inferior to the divine horse that just passed by.

Xinnuo said enviously: "I also want a Sanhe horse."

The old man behaved the same way he always did when he heard that she wanted luxury goods. He waved his hands and said: "A three-hip horse costs at least one hundred and eighty taels. Grandpa doesn't have that kind of money."

Xinnuo groaned and hit her chin on her arm. The old man often did this when she was a child. She wanted a knife: "No, no, I can't afford it even if I cut my grandpa's flesh."

She wanted an iron rod: "No, no, I can't afford to pay for it if I break it."

But if she wants beautiful hairpins and beautiful clothes, the old man will say something else, "Okay, okay, our Nuo'er will look better wearing this than flowers."

At that time, she was still young and foolish. Her grandfather bought it for her, but she refused to take it. She also wanted to secretly work in the county's escort agency, but when she grew up, she learned about it.

It's all routines.

On the one hand, the old man didn't want her to be weak and powerless, so he taught her martial arts. On the other hand, he wanted her to be like her grandma, a gentle and elegant girl who didn't have any weapons.

Later, when I saw how poor I was, I became more sensible, and the old man even pretended to be poor.

Xinnuo didn't know his family background, but he still had enough money to buy a horse for 80 taels.

It's just that she is older now and has enough ability to make money, so she doesn't pester him.

Seeing that his granddaughter honestly stopped talking about wanting a horse, the new old man was still not used to it.

This girl is no longer fun when she grows up. I really want to say, in fact, if you pester her for a while, Grandpa will buy it for you.

We are now in the capital, the girl’s house, we can’t walk on our own two feet when we go out.

Nanny Qin suddenly interrupted: "Miss, we have several Sanhe horses at home. If you want to ride them, just tell me."

"Really?" Xin Nuo was immediately interested, "What other horses do you have?"

The flattering smile on Nanny Qin's face froze, but she still said: "There are quite a few. The young masters all ride horses when they go out, and the third lady can also ride one."

Only then did Xinnuo remember, and said, "Tell me about the people in your family, especially the second lady who replaced me."

Nanny Qin: How do you say this?I didn't see her asking about it along the way, so I thought she didn't dare to ask. Now looking at it, she probably didn't even think about asking.

At this time, in the Cheng Mansion, on the marble-paved road, a richly dressed lady walked past, followed by seven or eight maids and women.

"When did Yao'er get sick?" She asked the servant girl who was a step behind anxiously while walking in a hurry.

The servant woman was the old man next to Mrs. Cheng, her surname was Lu. She didn't look panicked, and said calmly: "Madam, the second young lady is still uneasy. These days, she always loses focus while doing things well, and she always says that she is a sinner. , I felt cold the day before yesterday, but I didn’t let him tell me.”

Mammy Lu said: "The other young lady came back in the past two days after talking. The old slave knew the second young lady's worries, so he made the decision privately. He only asked Cuiping to invite Doctor Wang to come and take a look. Who would have thought that he secretly ate for two days? The medicine is not good either.”

Mrs. Cheng said angrily: "Ah Cong, you are an old man, why are you still so confused and follow her in everything?"

Can you be careless when you are sick?
While talking, they had already arrived at the small courtyard where the second young lady Cheng Xueyao lived. When she walked in, she could indeed smell the smell of medicine. Mrs. Cheng's steps were a little faster.

In the room, a slender woman was half leaning on the bed, holding a dark soup in her hand, frowning and pouring it into her stomach bit by bit.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng immediately couldn't bear the sadness. She wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then walked over and sat by the bed. First she reached out to smooth her daughter's messy hair on her temples, then took the medicine bowl and put it aside. , asked: "My son, are you feeling better?"

Cheng Xueyao still had an abnormal blush on her face, but her lips were pale and pale. She was extremely fragile when she was sick. She was so concerned that she immediately threw her down. Mrs. Cheng grabbed her by the lapel of her clothes and cried: " Mother, I know I shouldn't, but for so many years I have always regarded you as your biological daughter, and even now I have to treat you as my biological mother. When the young lady comes, can you not let me go?"

"Who are you chewing such rubbish in the ears of the second lady?" Mrs. Cheng hugged her child, her heart was broken in pain, she got angry at the servant who stood silently, and then gently patted her back. Back, "Yao'er, who told you to send you away? That one is back, you are still my mother's biological daughter, the upright second young lady of our Cheng family. If anyone dares to say a word of nonsense, my mother will pull out his tongue."

As he spoke, his stern eyes swept over the maids in Cheng Xueyao's room one by one.

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside: "Madam, you are so majestic. Whose tongue are you trying to pull out?"

"master."

As a middle-aged man in dark blue silk clothes walked in, all the servants, women and maids saluted.

Cheng Pu ignored him and walked over and asked, "Yao'er, are you sick?"

Cheng Xueyao nodded with tears in her eyes. Cheng Pu never cared much about this prostitute, so he said lightly, "Then take good care of your illness."

"Don't sit here anymore," he said to Mrs. Cheng. "A message has been sent outside that your biological daughter will be here soon. Call someone and go outside to pick her up."

My own flesh and blood have been living outside for so many years, and I don’t care at all. Why don’t I give them a face?
Mrs. Cheng knew that her husband was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't expect that since Ningcui took away her daughter, he would not save face for herself.

"I'll go and notify the mother. You go and call the children," Cheng Pu said, turning around, then suddenly turning back, facing the sick-looking Cheng Xueyao and saying, "Yao'er is going too. Even though you were replaced back then, you are still innocent. "Yes, but after all, I have enjoyed so many years of wealth in vain. From now on," Cheng Pu, who didn't know the name of the child, followed what the family said, "that one will be your sister. You must respect your sister."

Cheng Xueyao stood upright and said yes with the help of the maid, with a hint of gratitude on her face.

Only the maid who was supporting her knew that a piece of flesh on her arm was almost broken.
