Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 54
"Who dares? Who dares to look down on my beloved woman? Besides, you have such a virtuous reputation outside, that is to say, you are extremely respected outside!" Yu Shengshi puffed out his chest, full of momentum: "You just talk about it Who dares to say no, the Lord will not spare her!" Aunt Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and softly fell into Yu Shengshi's arms, and answered with a soft 'huh' from her nose.

Li Tian and Lin Ke got off the car at the second gate of the other courtyard. Yu Yaofang rushed forward to greet her. Lin Ke pulled Yu Yaofang and asked with concern: "Is Madam better? My aunt originally said that she would come to visit Madam today. But my cousin sent someone to ask her to help with the flower fair, she had no choice but to rush there, let me tell Madam, she will come to visit Madam the day after tomorrow."

"My mother is much better. Your mother sends people over every day to send this to that. My mother is very grateful. The princess is so busy, and this place is far away from the capital, so I don't have to travel back and forth to come over to see you. Besides, my mother Although it's better, you'll be tired after just a few words, go back and tell your aunt, it's best to come and see my aunt after a while, we are not outsiders, so we don't need those vain courtesy." Yu Yaofang hurriedly answered After Lin Ke said with a smile, Lin Ke nodded and said: "My mother also said the same, and told me not to pester Madam all the time, but to let Madam rest more."

The three of them entered the upper room while talking, talked with Madam Xu for a while, and then retreated to the east room where Yu Yaofang lived to drink tea and talk.

Yu Yaofang wanted to ask Li Tian a lot, and discussed a lot of things with Li Tian, ​​but Lin Ke was hindered from mentioning these things in front of her. Lin Ke was very energetic, and Yu Yaofang was going to take a nap , she was also beaming and energetic talking to Li Tian non-stop.

Until evening, the three of them went for a walk in the woods outside the other courtyard. Lin Ke loved the little squirrels that were running up and down the trees the most, and specially took some snacks to feed them. Only then did Yu Yaofang find an opportunity to pull Li Tian away from the forest. Ke asked in a low voice: "How's it going? Yesterday morning, before you came, Nanny Yao came and said that the words of Aunt Hong's virtuous and good management of the house have already been spread all over our house, what about outside? "

"It's about the same. Let someone take care of the three aunts and six wives who often go to Xu Shangshu's house, your uncle's house, and those who often come and go with you in the capital, or the important houses, and let them pass these words to the inner house. In addition to this journey, I also spread this word to the ears of the Qingke, stewards, and servants in these houses, as well as the places in the Green Lotus Tower. People also let people talk about it. You'd better go back tomorrow. Firstly, I have to ask your father's servants if this word has reached your father's ears, and secondly, there is going to be a flower party at your house." Li Tian looked at Lin Ke and spoke leisurely. .

Yu Yaofang looked at Li Tian with bright eyes and exclaimed: "Tian Tian, ​​you are so amazing, I was so worried a few days ago, how could I send the words of how virtuous and rare Aunt Hong is to my uncle and the others? I can't think of any good way, how did you come up with it?"

"What's unexpected about this? Where do we hear the private gossip about other people's homes? Isn't it just the three aunts and six wives who go from house to house and spread it everywhere? These also have their own business, and each has its own way. In circles, such as the stable women and matchmakers, they often gather together to drink tea and gossip at the Laiqing tea house outside the old Fengqiu gate, but it is not difficult to find them there and buy them a few good words with money. The stewards, servants, and cleaners on the board also have places they like to go to, so find out, and when you drive them there, let them tell them intentionally, and it will be done." Li Tian patiently Teaching Yu Yaofang.

Yu Yaofang was very surprised to hear it, and it took a long time before she exclaimed softly: "It's easy to hear you say that, but why didn't I think of it."

"Don't think about it. It's not something that can be done just by saying it. You need to have the right people. Let's not talk about it. You should think about the flower fair. You have to deal with it well."

"Well, don't worry, I had a detailed discussion with Mommy Yao yesterday, and Mommy Yao has already gone back to make some arrangements. It's not difficult. Let's go to the city together tomorrow morning, and I'll tell Auntie to go back and get some things. Arrange this matter and come back." Yu Yaofang said eagerly with silk, Li Tian nodded with a smile, raised her chin towards Lin Ke and said with a smile: "Look at her, she is about to be surrounded by squirrels, that one The squirrels jumped on her head."

Early the next morning, Yu Yaofang and Mrs. Xu said that they would go back to get some clothes and other things they needed, and they came out with Li Tian and Lin Ke. The three of them squeezed into the same car as usual, and got out of the other courtyard and went back to the capital. the main road.

Yu Zhihong only got the letter from Li Tian to go to another courtyard the evening before, and he wanted to go to another courtyard if he wanted a horse, but was reprimanded by Aunt Hong to go back. What should I do?This is simply unfilial.Yu Zhihong had no choice but to hope that Li Tian would stay in the other courtyard for a few more nights, at least not to let him run away again, this night was really eagerly waiting for the dawn.

In the early morning of the next day, before Yu Yaofang and his party left the other courtyard, Yu Zhihong had already rushed out of the city gate. He didn't dare to take any more people with him, so he only brought two confidants and galloped all the way to the other courtyard.

There was still two or three miles away from the farewell courtyard, and the three of them had just rushed to a place with a slightly higher terrain, when the young servant suddenly stopped the horse and walked to the side of the road, pointing to the front and shouting: "Look, sir, that is not our family's car. " Yu Zhihong hurriedly reined in the horse, stepped on the pedals and stood up on the horse. After a careful look, he whipped his whip abruptly and said angrily: "There are two cars behind, why did they come back so early? I just said I should have rushed there yesterday, and stayed overnight in another courtyard, and last night, I will definitely find an opportunity!"

The two servants didn't dare to say anything, Yu Zhihong lost his temper, seeing the three cars approaching unhurriedly, if he just watched the cars approaching like this, Yu Zhihong would feel heart-wrenchingly uncomfortable , riding on a horse, gritted his teeth, turned his mind for a long time, turned around and pointed to the boy and said: "Get down, drive your horse over, and hit that car for the master, the harder the collision, the better, the master wants a hero today!" Save the beauty!" The two boys looked at me and I looked at you, not daring to say a word, they got off the horse together, pulled the rein and held the whip and hid behind a few trees nearby, Yu Zhihong also He got off his horse and hid behind a tree, only waiting for Li Tian's car to come.

Yue Niang sat leisurely on the front rail of the car dangling her feet, squinting her eyes, admiring the flowers and plants on the side of the road. Like Lin Ke, she also liked the bustle of flowers and green grass.

Behind a few trees on the side of the road, the boy was holding his whip in embarrassment. The three people in the car were all noble people. Even if they were injured, it would be a big deal. This man never took it seriously. Yes, when the time comes, the designated bastard shrinks his neck, and he has to bear the big mistakes of the day. No matter how good-tempered the wife is, she will beat herself to death, maybe even her life will be involved. Can't spare myself.Forget it, let's take it easy, just drive the horse out, no matter how much this master loses his temper, there is no limit to it, but he will be beaten.

Yu Zhihong stared at the car salivatingly. Seeing that the car had arrived in front of him, he hurriedly turned his head to signal the boy. The boy was about to push the horse out lightly. Yu Zhihong seemed to have sensed the boy's intentions. The horsewhip was stabbed fiercely on the horse's buttocks with the sharp thorns of the whip head. The sudden prick made the horse tremble with pain, screaming in pain and galloping wildly towards the road.

Seeing that the horse was about to collide with the two horses driving the carriage, if it knocked down the horse, the carriage would overturn, Yue Niang reacted very quickly, she jumped up from the front of the carriage, she was in the air, the knife was already in her hand, Before it landed, the knife had already cut the horse's neck.The neighing of the horse suddenly turned into a whimper, and it took another two steps to take advantage of the momentum and then fell to the ground. Yue Niang fell behind the horse, sheathed the knife neatly, and the horse's neck shot violently. The blood that came out didn't touch her body at all, but it sprayed the two horses driving all over their heads and faces.

Those two horses were all cart horses in their own right, they had never been on a battlefield and they had never seen blood. After being sprayed with the blood of the same kind, they kicked their hooves and howled wildly in shock, scurrying about desperately.The coachman pulled the reins desperately, but he couldn't hold back the two frightened horses. Yue Niang was dumbfounded at once. On the front board, he bent down and snatched the rein from the driver, and tried his best to pull the startled horse back, but the startled horse had great strength, the more it was pulled, the more startled it became, and the more it ran, the crazier it became.

Suddenly, a black, bright and handsome horse leaped out of a slanting stab, and immediately the man was dressed in black, one person and one horse easily passed the car, and rushed to the front of the two horses. On the horse's neck, the black horse held its head up and snorted, and walked gracefully to the side for two steps, as if it didn't care about the blood sprayed everywhere.

The car stopped suddenly, Yue Niang used the momentum to turn over and fell to the clean ground, but the coachman was thrown in the blood of the horse, rolled on the ground several times, his head and body were covered with blood.The three of Li Tian in the car were all thrown against the door of the carriage, only to be hit so painfully, the three of them screamed in pain, Yue Niang rushed to the front of the car, opened the door, and the three of them rolled out of the car in a panic, Yue Niang Pulling Li Tian over, he slightly raised his chin and said in a low voice: "It was the man who killed the horse. This is a cruel master. Don't make any noise. I'll thank you."

"En." Li Tian responded, raised his hand to take off the crumbling hairpin, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke. Lin Ke was holding his mother-in-law's hand, bent over and vomited non-stop, and Yu Yaofang's face was as white as paper. , holding the gamboge with one hand, and leaning on the carriage rail with the other, he turned his head and saw the half-stained driver, holding his hand on his chest in fright, his face as white as paper.

Li Tian handed the hairpin to Qingzhi, and turned to look at the man in black who was reining in the horse not far from the car. The man was in his twenties, tall and strong, with a slightly elongated face, slightly dark complexion and sharp edges and corners , with straight and long eyebrows, the tip of the eyebrows flying up slightly, eyes that are not big but extremely bright, not handsome, but like a sword out of its sheath, aggressive and masculine, like those elegant men in the capital Compared with him, it seems that they have become women.

Yue Niang was about ten steps away from the man in black, she cupped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your help, the strong man, and please give me a name from the strong man, it's a very polite thank you."

"No need." The man in black looked away from Li Tian and the three of them, looked at Yue Niang carefully, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then pointed to the front and continued: "Behind the short slope in front is a depression about ten feet high." After finishing speaking , without waiting for Yue Niang to answer, she shook the reins, and the black horse was very handsome, and rushed out in response.
