Chapter 906 Something Is Not Right

Tang Lin came to send the newcomer to Bai Kou, so the palace chief couldn't leave anyone to eat in the palace, and he just entered the city today, the journey was exhausting, and this trip took half a year, leaving in summer and returning only in winter, Tang Lin She also wanted to go home early to meet her family and rest for a few days, so in order to start well and end well, neither Gong Changji nor Gu Yun expressed any gratitude, and it was Bai Kou who thanked her eldest uncle.

Bai Kou sent the eldest uncle out, and the two made an appointment to go to his house for dinner in a few days, watched the eldest uncle get into the car and go away, turned around and found the housekeeper to inquire about the Song family, and learned that they were taking a bath and freshening up, and then After coming down, he still needs to receive diagnosis and treatment from the government doctor, so Bai Kou didn't bother them after thinking about it.

Escaped from the fire and came all the way to the capital. Although the eldest uncle didn't say much, you can guess that before leaving the Xingning Prefecture, their itinerary should not let anyone know whether it was an accidental fire or arson. The forces must be well aware that if they think that this is an impeachment in Beijing, how can the eldest uncle and his party come back alive.

Thinking of this, Bai Kou went to her small courtyard and let the Song family have a good rest first.

On the way back to the back house, Bai Kou accidentally ran into Gu Yun who was walking out.

"Huh? Are you going home? Aren't you staying to have dinner with the prince?"

"Well, I'm going home to read. Time is tight and I can't waste it." Gu Yun said seriously.

"Oh, indeed, next February will be the tribute examination, and only those who are on the list can go to the palace examination. But it seems that you don't have to go this way from the flower hall to the gate, right?"

"I just go for a walk, take a walk, take a break."

"Walk? Take a break? Didn't you just say that you go home and read a book, time is tight and you can't waste it?"

"I call it a combination of work and rest."

"Oh, it makes sense, you can work your legs slowly, I have to go back and rest."

Just as the two intersected each other, Bai Kou stopped again, her right hand was tightly held by Gu Yun.

"This front yard of the palace is full of people coming and going, are you taking advantage of me again?"

"People coming and going? Why didn't I see anyone else besides you?" Gu Yun didn't let go, but even clenched his hands, proudly motioning Bai Kou to look around. At this moment, no one else was walking around here.

"You pay too much attention to your privacy. The small courtyard you live in is far away from the upper room. You like to walk this quiet path. Now tell me about people coming and going?" Gu Yun beamed with pride.

"Hey, I'm so proud."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the invisible tail behind him was wagging happily from side to side.

Bai Kou took a careful look at the surrounding environment, and there was indeed no outsider walking around, she turned slightly sideways, raised her left hand and gently stroked Gu Yun's chin.

Gu Yun became tense in an instant, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his eyes looked at Bai Kou without blinking.

Bai Kou was like petting a pet dog. His fingers followed the curve of Gu Yun's jaw back and forth several times, and then slid back and forth on his lower lip. Gu Yun felt his mouth was itchy and wanted to bite Bai Kou's mischievous finger. , because her mind was distracted, she unknowingly let go of Bai Kou's hand.

As soon as his right hand regained its freedom, Bai Kou quietly changed his posture, facing Gu Yun face to face, and slid his right hand along his abdomen to his left waist.

Gu Yun held his breath all of a sudden, his hands were hanging down on his sides foolishly.

Bai Kou didn't intend to let him go just like that, her right hand touched Gu Yun's waist and touched his shoulder, her left hand also slid down, wrapped her hands around the back of Gu Yun's neck, inserted her fingers into the roots of his hair, Gently massage his scalp.

Gu Yun couldn't help closing his eyes, let out a comfortable moan, and then he heard Bai Kou's mischievous laughter, but just as he was about to open his eyes, a more comfortable feeling came from his scalp, and he closed them tightly again. eyes.

The cold wind in early winter affected Gu Yun's true feelings. When he finally opened his eyes, Bai Kou had disappeared, and he was the only one standing alone in the quiet path, with no servants passing by.

Gu Yun rubbed his cold face with his cold hands, feeling a little dazed.

Did he stop Bai Kou from talking to her before? ? ?
This cunning girl! ! !

cunning!cunning!Damn cunning girl!

Humph! !! !!
Gu Yun went home to read a book full of depression and indignation that he couldn't explain.

Bai Kou has already stayed comfortably in her room, taking a good rest, and will go get her carriage tomorrow. After a month, it is finally done.

On Ning Peilan's side, the servant she sent to deliver the letter to Shi Tianqi came back to report. The letter had been handed over to the other party in person, and she also said that the letter had been torn apart privately. write back.

After receiving the reward, Ning Peilan discussed with Gong Zhangji, and felt that no matter whether Shi Tianqi would take advantage of it or not, it was all her family affairs, and they were just business partners here, so they couldn't control so much.

The next morning, Bai Kou went to get the carriage, and her new carriage turned into a real thing in the hands of the carpenters exactly as she had imagined.

The common people have the standards of common people's living materials, and the expensive wood is owned by the nobles. The wealthy class of the common people can't cross this boundary, otherwise the government will definitely sue after it is investigated.

Bai Kou has just recovered her citizenship, and her days of freedom have just begun. Of course, she will not die and step on the red line of class, so the materials used for the overall and interior decoration of the carriage are the best materials that the common people can use, which is why a month The biggest reason for being able to make a new carriage is that the masters don't have to spend a lot of time preparing those expensive and rare materials.

The overall structure of the carriage has also been changed. Bai Kou doesn't like to get on and off the carriage from the front. Even if there is a step stool, she still thinks the posture of bending over and climbing up and down is too ugly. There are footsteps, the door and the opposite window are inlaid with glass and curtains, and there is a small rain eaves outside the car window. There is a small window sill inside the car, and a small portable lamp with a four-sided glass lampshade is placed. The outside of the door is locked with a bolt. The door is locked with a chain. , the window is divided into upper and lower parts, the lower layer is fixed, and the upper layer can be opened for ventilation. In addition to the height of the vehicle, it can also prevent outsiders from throwing things into the car.

The four-wheeled vehicle has a large frame, and the interior of the compartment is very spacious. The door is opened on the side, and the inside is arranged as a pair of seats. Three people can sit in a row. The seat box is under the cushion. The board can be moved flexibly, and the size of the storage grid can be adjusted at will. In the middle of the two rows of seats is a small table with a table top that can be folded in two directions. When folded, it is a small table. Passengers can stand up and sit down easily. The chest, although it is inconvenient to stand up, is more convenient for writing and reading. The table is empty, and you can put your legs freely when it is full of people.

There is a small window with a trap above the middle of the reverse seat. After opening, you can directly talk to the coachman. There is a wide rain canopy above the coachman’s seat, and a glass lantern is hung under the rain canopy. Although there is no chance to go out at night. There are few, but hanging these two lights can also be used as a decoration.

Bai Kou looked in and out of the car, and the more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied, and the more she looked, the happier she was. She spent more than 100 taels of silver for this new carriage, which was more expensive than the money she paid for beating Mrs. Gu. Thinking about it, she just got it One month's salary of the big shopkeeper cost more than 200 taels of silver in a blink of an eye, which is really a waste of money.

You have to work harder to make money.

The master carpenter brought the high-quality work horses that he had ordered early in the morning, which were the same as the work horses used by his own team in the workshop. To pull the four-wheeled carriage, one had to rely on such muscular horses. Correspondingly, this Stallions also eat a lot, but new carriages have been built, so who cares how much the horses that pull the carriages have to eat a month.

The men worked together to harness the horses. In addition to the coachman who brought Bai Kou, there was also a coachman surnamed Cui, who was Ning Peilan's servant. She assigned this old Cui to Bai Kou as a special coachman. .

Bai Kou paid off the follow-up balance and rewarded the coachman who worked so hard to pick her up and drop off this month. Old Cui fastened the car door, sat in the coachman's seat, and tried to drive the empty horse-drawn cart. Ma Lao Cui has never driven a caravan, but he has decades of experience in caravan driving, and he has traveled all kinds of terrain. Ning Peilan gave Lao Cui to Bai Kou because he thought that Bai Kou had always planned to go to the farm. It is definitely not possible to take a boat in this cold weather, the only way is to go by land, so Lao Cui is the most suitable driver in the house.

The carpenters opened the back door to let Lao Cui go out, and Bai Kou waited for Lao Cui to come around at the front door. As soon as the big carriage, which had never been seen before, came out of the back door, they were surrounded by neighbors. They followed the carriage together until they reached Front door.

Bai Kou ignored their onlookers, opened the car door and sat in, then opened the small movable window, and told Old Cui to go around the city, go to Xilefang to show off, and then return to Tianshuifang.

Old Cui responded with a smile, and took Bai Kou along the Che River in the city.

The new carriage is just comfortable, and I don't feel any bumps on the stone road in the city, and there will be no more sore backs and buttocks from the bumps.

The big carriage was surrounded by people all the way, because of the shape and structure of the frame and the horses pulling the cart, many people recognized that it must be the carriage of Xilefang Dagong, but they didn't know who was sitting in the carriage.

Bai Kou is nestled by the window, she can see the street view outside, but passers-by can't see her, and their discussions can be passed in through the open ventilation window, Bai Kou listens and laughs , right to have fun.

When the carriage entered Xilefang, it naturally caused a greater commotion. The gatekeeper of the workshop saw that although the unfamiliar carriage looked like his own style, his first reaction was to dutifully refuse to let it go, until Bai Kou opened the door and showed his face. Cui Cai was able to drive into the factory compound, and when Bai Kou got out of the car to attend to her business, the carriage was surrounded by three floors of workers, and they rushed to visit.

Bai Kou stayed in the factory for more than half an hour and then drove back to Tianshuifang, still surrounded by people watching and talking.

When the carriage passed the gate of the palace and went to the stables, the steward sent someone to tell the princess immediately, and after Bai Kou finished speaking with Old Cui in the stables, he promised to pay him an extra monthly money and feed money to ask him to take good care of him. While riding the horses, Ning Peilan also came to the stables in a soft sedan chair.

"Oh my God!" Ning Peilan got out of the sedan chair and was very surprised when she saw the new carriage, "I know you said the new carriage will be big, but I didn't expect it to be so big! Is it comfortable?"

"My lovely and charming Princess Cheng, would you do me the honor of visiting the capital with me?" Bai Kou suddenly held Ning Peilan's right hand pretentiously, and smiled affectionately in a low voice, and used a special way of speaking, so that The voice seemed deep and muffled.

Ning Peilan couldn't help but blushed, her heart pounding wildly, she nodded as if infected, "I am willing."

Bai Kou immediately took a side step to join Ning Peilan's side, putting her right hand on her left arm, and the two of them walked back to the upper room like this, naturally discussing the time for their next visit to the capital together.

When Gong Changji came back home, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was not right, and the princess actually told him why Bai Kou was not a man, and if she was a man, she would definitely elope with her.

Looking at his wife with an excited face like a girl Huaichun, Gong Zhangji opened his mouth and could only utter a meaningless syllable.

"what?!"
