Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 6
After walking non-stop for half a month, Chu Qingyan felt that the whole person was about to be knocked apart by the carriage, and her mother would pat her shoulder lightly from time to time. Fortunately, her father thought it was fun to toss and turn, and the whole person was bouncing around without feeling tired.

It's just that Chu Qingyan felt a faint uneasiness in her heart. This Mrs. Li and her party went through wind and rain without even taking a break, and they went desperately to the capital. This made her a little unimaginable. The thought of going to the Hongmen Banquet made her tremble all over.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, Chu Qingyan raised her eyebrows puzzled, and then heard the sound of horseshoes approaching, Chu Qingyan lifted the curtain of the car, saw Wang Tingli standing on the horse and saw her poking her head out, and immediately said: , "Miss Nine, after passing this mountain today, I will arrive in the capital, and my servant is here to tell you."

Chu Qingyan nodded, and then put down the car curtain.

Wang Ting saw that Miss Nine was always indifferent to others and said very little. He thought it was a country girl who didn't understand etiquette. It hits the nail on the head, and advances and retreats well. It really doesn't look like she grew up in the mountains. Take the action just now as an example. Although she didn't speak, her bright and cold eyes have already made him, who has been a servant for more than [-] years. Slightly fearful, Wang Ting thought for a while, although it could be said that Miss Jiu’s family would return to Chu’s house, but as the saying goes, maybe Miss Jiu flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, he couldn’t be as rude as before, Anyway, be more polite, and you won't lose a piece of meat. In case one person becomes a chicken dog and ascends to heaven, he can also get a good future.

So Wang Ting made up his mind not to run on the family in the open and polite way like Mrs. Li.

Chu Qingyan didn't know that her inadvertent behavior would bring about such an effect. Although Wang Ting treated her a lot later, which made her a little puzzled, her thoughts were all on the upcoming family meeting tomorrow.

At the beginning when Dad served as a soldier and fought in the glory of the family, they regarded him as a hero of the family, but when he was defeated in the battle and was blamed by the people, they did not stand in front of him to protect him. Instead, they drove the seriously injured dad out of the Chu family. With her delicate mother and her who is under two years old.

This is the icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult.

Chu Qingyan withdrew her thoughts, turned to look at the exhausted mother who was dozing off, and her father who had her eyes wide open, and couldn't help but stop her father who was about to pull her mother's long-haired hand, and threatened him with a tiger face.

"Father, mother is tired, if you wake her up, my daughter will ignore you."

Father Chu immediately took it back, stuck out his tongue at his daughter, then sat down obediently, and looked at her innocently, "Caicai, just now that big horse face said that I will soon be in Kyoto, does it mean that I will be able to soon?" See the green onion upside down?"

Malaysian face?Chu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, the nickname her father gave to Wang Ting was quite appropriate, but after hearing the last sentence, the smile on her face suddenly froze, thinking that her father hadn't mentioned the purple-faced man for so long , She should have left it behind, but she didn't know how to answer when he brought it up again.

"That, that..."

Unaware of his daughter's embarrassment, Father Chu continued with a look of yearning, "The upside-down onion must have already woven a net and is waiting for me. When the time comes, I will take you to go fishing together!"

Chu Qingyan couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, hoping that her father would not be disappointed when the time comes.

The top of the sunset mountain rose again, and another day passed, and Chu Qingyan and the others had already arrived at the capital of Xixuan Kingdom.

"My lord, my lady, you can reach our mansion after walking through this street." Wang Ting said while riding a horse.

Chu Qingyan had already lifted the curtain of the car when entering the city, admiring the most lively and prosperous capital of Xixuan Kingdom. The same feeling, just like her summer trip to Shanghai, except that when she was in this quaint and lively ancient capital, she finally accepted that she really came to this country submerged in the river of history after a thousand years fact.

The dazzling shops reminded her of the modern version of Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, but the buildings in front of her gave her a real visual impact, instead of standing on tiptoe across the long river of time and fantasizing about how the ancient people lived, because the real thing in front of her was happening.

Withdrawing her gaze, she turned her head to see the excitement in her mother's eyes and the curiosity on her father's face. She suddenly felt that maybe the decision to come to Kyoto was right.

The road became more and more secluded, and the flow of people became less and less. Chu Qingyan understood that the richer the family, the cleaner the place they live in.

Chu Qingyan looked at the surrounding environment with both eyes, and kept comforting herself with this reason, but the more she walked, the more she couldn't calm down and deceive herself.

Weeds, broken tiles, mottled door walls, potholes on the ground...

Are you sure this is a rich area?It should be considered a slum, right?
The carriage passed an alley, and many beggars swarmed up to stop the carriage and wanted to beg for something to eat. The female relatives were scared and hid in the carriage.

Mother Chu patted her chest lightly, and said in shock, "Obviously this place was very prosperous ten years ago, why is it so desolate now?"

After hearing what mother said, Chu Qingyan couldn't help asking, "Mother, what was it like here ten years ago?"

As soon as the past was mentioned, Chu's mother's eyes brightened. She took her daughter's hand and recalled, "It used to be called Jiangjun Street, and every household had a general. There were many people coming and going, and it was very lively. The common people They are all proud to be able to live here, but later—”

In the end, Mother Chu's expression darkened, "It's just that when your father was defeated in the battle, the whole army was wiped out, and many of the generals and soldiers who died were from the residents of this street. Later, those family members could not accept the condemnation of the people afterwards. , disheartened, moving and scattered, this place is getting more and more depressed."

"But my daughter remembers that our Chu family was a civil servant, how could we live here?" Chu Qingyan was puzzled.

Mother Chu sighed when she heard the words, "The Chu family has not had any civil servants for many years, and it is gradually declining. It was not until your father became famous in World War I that he was favored by the Holy One and your father was given a house, so the Chu family moved here."

"What? Mother means that the Chu family I'm going to later is actually Daddy's house?" Chu Qingyan's eyes widened.

Mother Chu sighed and nodded.

Chu Qingyan suddenly became depressed. It turned out that the family of three was taken over by someone and then swept out of the house!Why is she not angry!

Then she wants to see this shameless family!
