sturdy landlady

Chapter 38 Is it delicious?

"Eldest lady, eldest miss, it's time to get on the road. Your servants have already packed up your luggage." Yu Hui, the maidservant next to the old lady, said with a smile while blessing her body.

Although they packed the clothes for Gu Xiaoxiao, mother and daughter, they were all the worst ones in the closet, and they hadn't worn much for many years, especially Gu Xiaoxiao's clothes, which were obviously short .

However, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't argue or make a fuss, just carried the burden, took her mother's hand, and walked out of the yard.

At the gate of the Gu family, three carriages were waiting one after the other.

The Gu family didn't see any of them, they wished that Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter would go away quickly, they treated them like plague gods, how could they come to see them off?

Even if it is just to show others, these people are not willing, which shows how much they hate Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter.

"Miss, madam, our old lady is not feeling well and cannot come to see you off. However, no matter how many wrong things the lady has done, the old lady still loves you. Her old lady specially sent her most trusted steward Yang to see you off. You and your wife are going to the northwest. On the way, Steward Yang will take good care of you. Steward Yang will also send someone to take care of all the food and drink for Madam and Miss. The second master also loves you very much, Miss Zheng. Fifty masters will escort you and your wife to the northwest, and the servants are here to send you off to your wife and miss." Yu Hui said with a smile while blessing her body.

When Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, her face was full of coldness.

Steward Yang is a loyal dog by the old lady's side, only loyal to the old hag, who is usually very harsh on the servants in the mansion, and is notoriously stingy, he escorts their mother and daughter to the northwest, Gu Xiaoxiao can foresee , They must not have a good life along the way.

As for Guard Zheng, she was her second uncle's confidant, she wasn't worried that second uncle would take this opportunity to let these people kill their mother and daughter, but she had to be on guard.

"Mother, let's get in the carriage!" Gu Xiaoxiao said while helping his mother into the carriage.

In the front carriage, their mother and daughter rode with Jinniang and Yueji, while in the rear two carriages were Yuanxiang, Miaozhu and others.

The baggage everyone brought was a change of clothes. Whether it was Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter or these servants, they were penniless, not even pearls and hairpins.

It can be said that they were kicked out by the Gu family in an extremely miserable manner.

But Gu Xiaoxiao felt fortunate that they had left the Gu family, and from now on... the sea is wide and the sky is high for birds to fly.

She, Gu Xiaoxiao, will one day return to the capital in a glorious manner and become the existence that everyone looks up to.

"Xiao Xiao, you seem to be very happy!" Seeing her daughter's excited look, Mrs. Ye couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

If her daughter is happy, she is naturally happy too, although she is indeed a little depressed.

"Of course my daughter is happy, and no one will harm us anymore!" Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, leaning on her mother's shoulder.

"Yeah!" Mrs. Ye nodded lightly.

The carriage rolled forward, and after slowly leaving the city, it entered the official road.

The Dafeng Dynasty has developed well in recent years, and the national power is strong, so the official road is very wide and flat, and the speed of the carriage running on it is also very fast. Gu Xiaoxiao paid special attention to it. One hour is half an hour in this era. , The carriage can run thirty kilometers, and they quickly left the capital, and when it was getting dark, they arrived at a post station to settle down.

Steward Yang is indeed the most stingy steward in the mansion. At noon, everyone eats the dry food they brought, a piece of cake for each person, even Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter are no exception, but he and the guards have beef to eat In his words, these men are all on horseback, and they are also responsible for protecting Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter, so they must eat more.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't care too much, and Mrs. Ye endured it.

But after arriving at the inn, he lived in the worst small courtyard for Gu Xiaoxiao and the others. In the euphemistic name, the old lady gave limited money and could only be frugal.

Because it is the worst small yard, the house inside is of course a bit dilapidated, not to mention the bedding on the bed. Although it is not moldy in hot weather, it is stinky.

Gu Xiaoxiao got angry when she saw it, and before she had time to get angry, the people at the post station brought dinner, each with a pancake and a bowl of vegetable soup.

"He gave us pancakes at noon, and also pancakes at night. Is it possible that Manager Yang is planning to eat pancakes for us until we reach the northwest? It will take about [-] days to go to the northwest, and we slaves will Forget it, how can Madam and Miss eat these?" Yuan Xiang was suddenly angry.

Usually in the mansion, even the most lowly rough envoys and servants don't have to eat pancakes, which are difficult to swallow. After leaving the house, it is simply too deceitful for Guanshi Yang to be so humiliating.

"I'll go find that dog slave to make a theory!" Ship Ye was trembling with anger, and wanted to find Steward Yang.

"Forget it!" Gu Xiaoxiao grabbed her mother's arm at once, ordered Yuan Xiang and Miao Zhu to close the door, reached out her hand to feel from her arms, and took out a bank note.

"This..." Mrs. Ye was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Xiao, where did you get this bank note?"

"I hid it before, and when I left, I took advantage of Yuhui and others not paying attention, so I put it on my body." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. Although she was a little guilty, she quickly calmed down, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, as if she really looked like her The thing said is normal.

"1000 taels!" Mrs. Ye picked up the bank note, her eyes lit up.

"Mother, let Jinniang and Yueji go out and buy some delicious food quietly. There are inns and restaurants near this post station, and they can buy some roast chicken and goose. As for these pancakes!" Gu Xiaoxiao opened the door at this point. Throw them all out.

Steward Yang and Zheng Huwei happened to be downstairs, and both of them were hit on the head by the dry and hard pancake.

"Where did it come from..." Steward Yang touched his sore head and cursed loudly, but when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao who was pouring pancakes down, he didn't dare to curse the word "beast".

Even though Gu Xiaoxiao's mother and daughter were kicked out of the house, they were still the master. On the surface, he didn't dare to do anything, and he didn't dare to show any disrespect.

"Guard Yang, are the pancakes delicious?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"Okay... delicious..." Steward Yang answered bravely.

"Miss, please eat more." After Gu Xiao finished the novel, he also poured down the big bowl of vegetable soup that Yuan Xiang was carrying.

After all, Zheng Huwei is a martial arts practitioner, so he dodged all of a sudden, but Guanshi Yang was splashed with vegetable soup by Gu Xiaoxiao.

"You..." Steward Yang couldn't help pointing at Gu Xiaoxiao, his face full of anger.
