Chapter 125
Xiao Yuzhuo silently flipped through the account books.
Liang Sheng took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Now there will be no more charges for exchanging flying money for cash in the Zouyuan, and the business of the cabinet shop will also be affected."
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't seem to care, he said in a more serious tone, "And if we open it again, will the Holy Majesty doubt the lady?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "The shopkeeper Liang is worried that since Chang'an City doesn't ask me to open cabinets, the central area can't radiate, so let's surround the central area."
Liang Sheng was taken aback when he heard that, "What did the lady say?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Let's develop cabinet workshops outside Chang'an City first, and then attack Chang'an when the situation is unstoppable."
Liang Sheng was taken aback by her indifferent but determined tone.
"However, this is a long-term plan. Don't be in a hurry now. Let's reduce the size of Wufangzhai in Chang'an City first. Some shops with little profit in the market are closed, and we will vigorously open branches outside Chang'an City." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Liang Sheng nodded repeatedly, although he thought her idea was too risky.
After all, the shops with low profits in Chang'an City are also making profits. It is unknown what the situation will be and what difficulties they will encounter when they re-open semi-colons in other places.
But seeing that a woman like her has such courage, as her big treasurer, he naturally can't be timid.
"The villain understands." Liang Sheng agreed, "One more thing, the villain..."
Liang Sheng spoke but hesitated.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, "Shopkeeper Liang is from Chang'an City, right? I want to know something about Chang'an City."
Liang Sheng frowned slightly, "What the villain wants to tell my wife is also about Chang'an City."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "That's a coincidence, why don't shopkeeper Liang talk about it first?"
Liang Sheng licked his lips, "The villain has been paying attention to the situation of the general's residence, hoping to get news from the general's wife. Just when the villain left Chang'an, I heard that the general's residence has frequently invited a Hu Langzhong to visit The family, I don't know if... General Jing fell ill?"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze, Mr. Hu?
"The general came back from victory, but the Holy Majesty took his military power captive. Although he was granted the title of king of Wu, how can he compare with a general who holds a heavy army?" Liang Sheng frowned, and said slowly, "I wonder if the general was too worried, so he fell ill. "
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, her face turned pale.
Jing Yan is as strong as a cow, will he get sick?
Could it be that his precious son Chong Wu was sick?
"But... have you ever found out what kind of disease it is?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked cautiously.
Liang Sheng shook his head again and again, "The Hu Langzhong has a very close relationship with General Jing, so he won't say anything."
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately scratched his heart like a hundred claws, he couldn't sit still.
Originally thinking that Jing Yannian, the father, would definitely take good care of the child, she endured the pain of missing her, but in order to bring her son back in a dignified manner in the future, she also accepted it.
Now Xiao Chongwu is sick?
"Don't worry, lady," Liang Sheng sighed softly, "General Jing is strong and strong, but he can't think about it for a while, and he will get better eventually. Hu Langzhong's medical skills are quite famous in Chang'an City."
His reassurance is like scratching an itch, how could it reach Xiao Yuzhuo's heart.
She gritted her teeth and frowned, as if she had made a difficult decision.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Liang, for telling me this. I'd better leave the matter to shopkeeper Liang to Wufangzhai. As for the matter of the cabinet shop, we'll talk about it in detail later." Xiao Yuzhuo got up to leave after finishing speaking.
Liang Sheng also stood up quickly, "My lady is in such a hurry, what are your plans?"
She turned her head and met his worried gaze.
His eyes were deep, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his face was concerned.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "When I was away, you took good care of my property and kept looking for me, it was hard work for you. Now I am safe and sound, you can take a good rest for a while."
"Didn't the lady say that she wanted to ask me about Chang'an?" Liang Sheng asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Master Liang has already told me."
"So my lady is planning to quietly return to the capital to visit the general?" Liang Sheng said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, she nodded slowly, "Yes... I can't feel at ease after all."
"Your Majesty thinks that the lady is already...wouldn't it be very bad if she returns to Chang'an and falls into the hands of the Majesty?" Liang Sheng frowned.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "I'll go quietly, I've read it, and I'm relieved, so I'll go quietly, and the Holy One won't know."
Liang Sheng frowned slightly.
Xiao Yuzhuo saluted and said goodbye with a smile.
Liang Sheng hurriedly returned the gift, but he called to stop her, "Miss, give me two days to prepare."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
"Miss going to Chang'an like this is arousing suspicion. Give the villain two days, the villain forms a caravan and asks the escort to escort the lady to hide in the caravan, so no one will be suspicious." Liang Sheng said.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being pleasantly surprised when he heard that, "Thank you so much."
Liang Sheng bowed his hands and returned the salute, "It's what a villain should do."
Xiao Yuzhuo returned to the Yue Palace, and Mei Xiang wanted to pack up.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't ask her to clean up anything, "If you make the King of Yue suspicious, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave."
"I don't bring some clothes, bedding, tea, snacks... How can I stand on the journey of a lady?" Mei Xiang was worried.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "I have business to do, and I'm not going to play. I'm going to go to Chang'an with all these things? I'm afraid that I will be taken down by the Holy Majesty just after entering the city gate?"
"That lady is going to suffer all the way." Mei Xiang sighed.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "I'm not afraid of suffering, I just want to see Chong Wu."
Liang Sheng asked Lan Xue to send her a message that the caravan was ready.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't tell King Yue, just like going out as usual, he only brought a change of clothes, and specially left Mei Xiangxiyue at the mansion.
Only Zhuxiang and Juxiang were brought together on the road.
Liang Sheng invited bodyguards to accompany him for protection.
The caravan has several large carts, not Wufangzhai's caravan, there are other merchants going to Chang'an.
There are also other people's family members.
Xiao Yuzhuo brought two maids with him, which was not particularly eye-catching in this line of work.
"Thank you." Xiao Yuzhuo turned around and said to Liang Sheng before getting into the carriage.
Liang Sheng glanced at her, then quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, "If you're polite, my lady, I'll see you off."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, supported Zhuxiang's hand, and got into the carriage.
The caravan left the gate of Wancheng before noon.
By the time it was night, we had already left for more than a hundred miles.
When Li Tai heard that night was coming and Xiao Yuzhuo hadn't returned home, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But since Chongwu was taken away by Jing Yannian, she also came back very late, and he still waited patiently.
But it was already dark, and it was past dinner time, and she hadn't come back yet.
Li Tai couldn't sit still, and when he came to her courtyard, he saw two maids talking in a low voice on the porch outside the main room.
He stepped forward to ask, but the two maids faltered.
Li Tai felt that something was wrong, but the two maids refused to tell the truth no matter how much he pressed them.
Li Tai was anxious, "We can only protect her if she is in Wancheng. If she leaves Wancheng secretly, I don't know. What should I do if she is in danger?"
Both Mei Xiang and Xiyue knelt and did not speak.
"Xiyue, you are the son of my family in the Yue Palace. Your hometown is in Wancheng, and your husband's family and mother's family are all working on the Zhuangzi in Wancheng. If you don't tell the truth, you don't want them to have a good time?" Li Tai asked coldly.
Xiyue's face turned pale, "My lady..."
"Xiyue!" Mei Xiang immediately raised her hand and tugged at the corner of her sleeve.
Xiyue pursed her lips, "The servant girl doesn't know..."
Li Tai was furious, and ordered Chen Xiyue's child to be found as well.
When she was Xiao Chongwu's nanny, her son was just eight months old, and now her son is over one year old and is being raised by the family.
Seeing her son, Chen Xiyue trembled all over.
Li Tai held the little child in his arms, and asked her coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, where did my lady go?"
Seeing that Xiyue didn't even dare to look at her child, Mei Xiang seemed to be afraid of taking a look, so she couldn't help but put together her bag.
She couldn't help it, and suddenly got up from the ground, "His Royal Highness, what is it to use a child to threaten someone? No wonder my wife wants to leave here! If my wife sees this situation, I'm afraid my wife will be scared in the future." I don't want to see you again!"
Li Tai's face froze.
He looked at Mei Xiang angrily, and Mei Xiang also stared at him with a stiff neck.
Li Tai suddenly bent over and put the child on the ground.
The child immediately threw himself into his mother's arms.
But Li Tai stretched out his hand fiercely, and grabbed Mei Xiang's throat, "I can let that child go, but I have to ask you carefully."
Mei Xiang's face turned red from being pinched by him, but she had a sneer on her face, "It's fine for the King of Yue to strangle me, I won't say anything, my wife treats my servants like relatives, never threatens, never forces , the servant girl will never betray the lady! Willing to die for the lady!"
Li Tai looked at the stubborn and smiling Mei Xiang, his complexion became darker and uglier.
When Mei Xiang was pinched and rolled her eyes, he suddenly let go.
Mei Xiang coughed again and again.
Xiyue quickly stood up and supported her.
Mei Xiang snorted coldly, "Xiyue is originally a servant girl sent by the King of Yue to the lady, why is she willing to be loyal to the lady and betray her without being threatened by the King of Yue? Wouldn't His Highness the King of Yue think deeply about the reason?"
King Yue frowned and turned to leave.
But Mei Xiang said loudly behind him: "Because my wife has never been anyone's appendage! She is not attached to anyone! She is independent, self-improvement, she makes us see hope! She treats us kindly and peacefully! See how we are Personally, she respects each and every one of us!"
King Yue's footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head and gave Mei Xiang a cold look, with doubts in his eyes.
Mei Xiang smiled, "My lady would not be attached to the general in the past, and she will not be attached to His Highness the King of Yue now. If His Royal Highness is willing to help the lady, he may still become friends with the lady. If His Highness only wants to control the lady, he will only ask the lady to be with you. You alienate."
King Yue looked at Mei Xiang and sneered, "Stupid! Ignorant!"
After speaking, he strode away without looking back.
Xiyue hugged her child and looked at Mei Xiang in a daze.
Mei Xiang rubbed her neck and let out a long sigh of relief, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
There were tears in Xiyue's eyes, "Mei Xiang, what you said is really good! Really, we are slaves, and we can be bought or sold elsewhere. Life and death depend on the master's will. But the lady treats us like relatives. Generally... I can't say what you say, but I think the same as you in my heart!"
Mei Xiang nodded heavily, and grinned at her, "Follow the lady, the lady will make us live better, what the lady once said, she will definitely lead us to do it."
Xiyue hummed heavily.
Xiao Yuzhuo, who had left Wancheng, did not know that the maids in his own courtyard were so optimistic about her.
She has a great cause to do, and she has grand ideals to achieve.
But she is also a soft-hearted mother who misses her children.
Even if she just took a look, as long as she knew that Xiao Chongwu was safe and sound, she would be relieved.
Maybe now she is unable to protect her child well, and cannot lead her child to live a bright and aboveboard life.
But one day, she will not have to be afraid of anything, and can live well under the sun.
The king of Yue sent people to chase them out of Wancheng quietly.
He himself could not leave.
Zhou Yanwu was sent by the sage to watch him. If he also leaves, Zhou Yanwu will definitely be suspicious.
That Yuyu is even more dangerous.
King Yue's men chased her around, but he didn't expect that she would have the courage to go to Chang'an.
On the third day Xiao Yuzhuo left Wancheng, the sky was very cloudy.
I heard people on the road that it was going to rain today.
Xiao Yuzhuo still didn't believe it.
Liang Sheng asked her if she wanted to rest in the town first, but she was anxious to go to Chang'an to see Xiao Chongwu, so she shook her head and refused.
This caravan was organized by Liang Sheng, so naturally they all listened to Liang Sheng.
The caravan did not stop at the town, but continued on its way.
But after noon, the sky became very gloomy.
The caravan speeded up and wanted to rush to the next town so that they could have a place to stay.
I never thought that before evening, the sky would be as gloomy as dark.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
The heavy rain poured down.
After a while, the road became muddy and the road was difficult.
"It's good this time... don't stop when it's time to stop, hurry on the road, and become a drowned rat..."
Someone outside the car complained.
Xiao Yuzhuo's complexion was not very good-looking.
She was the one who didn't ask to stay. Although she didn't name her name in this complaint, she sounded uncomfortable.
Liang ordered people to go ahead to explore the way.
Not long after, the man came back and said: "One mile ahead, there is a post house. The post house is not small, and it can definitely accommodate caravans!"
When the whole group heard the news, their morale was boosted.
The wheels of the carriage sank into the mud, and everyone pushed the carriage out against the rain.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't sit still in the car, even though Ju Xiang Zhu Xiang kept persuading her, she still got off the car herself and pushed the cart with everyone.
The other female relatives saw that there were two maidservants beside her, dressed in good manners, and they didn't even complain, and they took the lead in the rain.
They stopped talking.
The bodyguards who were dissatisfied before and other merchants looked at Xiao Yuzhuo differently.
"Lady, get in the car, let us do the rough work!" A bodyguard stepped forward and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo wiped the rain off his face, smiled slightly, "It's not too far away, it's inconvenient to sit in the car, let's go."
Some bodyguards put their ponchos on her and her maids.
There were also women who handed them clean towels from the car.
Another car got stuck in the mud, the woman in the car didn't say a word, just like Xiao Yuzhuo, she got down and walked aside.
It was raining cats and dogs, but the party finally arrived at the post house.
The group had just moved into the post house, and Xiao Yuzhuo and the others had just changed into clean and crisp clothes.
Then I heard the handymen in the posthouse chasing people away, "Get out! Go to the stables at the back!"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
"What's going on?" Zhuxiang frowned.
Before I understood what was going on, I heard the handyman knocking on their door, "Get out, do you hear me, go out and live in the stable!"
"It's not that we don't give money, so why live in a stable?" Zhu Xiang opened the door and said angrily.
"Give me money?" The handyman snorted, "My lord, I have booked this posthouse. Now the posthouse won't let you live, and you can't even pay me! Get out!"
Zhuxiang was furious when she heard the words, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to do it.
Ju Xiang stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Hey I haven't heard of..."
"Bamboo Fragrance." Xiao Yuzhuo also called her.
"My lady, how could they let someone live in a stable?" Zhuxiang frowned.
"Go out, don't cause trouble. Forgot what we are going to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at her.
Zhu Xiang curled her lips, angrily packed up the few salutes they had brought.
Someone in the corridor was arguing with the orderly.
When Xiao Yuzhuo went out, he saw Liang Sheng talking to the postman.
Liang Sheng waved at her and told her to wait in the corridor.
I don't know what benefit Liang Sheng gave that Yicheng, Yicheng took a look at them and left them a servant.
He also personally came over and told them: "I've given you this room because you have female relatives. You stay in the room, but don't come out. If you cause trouble, I will be implicated!"
"Who is it that has booked the posthouse, so arrogant?" Zhuxiang couldn't help asking.
That Yi Cheng glared at her, "Don't inquire! Knowing more is no good!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and told them to stay in the inferior room, and don't make a sound or come out.
The lower room is not big, and there are still two rows of bunks.
The female family members of the caravan were not limited to Xiao Yuzhuo and her two maids.
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't go to the stable, those female relatives also went to the lower class room instead of going to the stable.
In addition to Xiao Yuzhuo and three people, there were three or four women and two little girls sitting in the room.
It was too crowded for the six people to live in a row of shared bunks, so one person was allocated to sleep with Xiao Yuzhuo and the others.
"It will be fine when the rain stops." Ju Xiang whispered, making the bed together with Zhu Xiang.
Xiao Yuzhuo stood by the window.
There was a lot of rain outside the window, and the house was not only full of shops, but also facing the stables in the backyard.
The neighing of horses and the shouting and cursing of people all came in from the window.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly turned his ears, "Zhuxiang, have you ever heard a child crying?"
She left Wancheng for Chang'an just to see Xiao Chongwu.
Along the way, I pay special attention to children under one year old. Hearing the crying of other people's children is like hearing my own children crying.
Her heart will involuntarily follow suit.
Zhu Xiang came to the window and listened attentively.
"No? The servant girl only heard the sound of rain, the sound of people, cows and horses..."
"Yes!" Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, looking a little uneasy.
Zhuxiang shook her head.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but push open the window.
The rain outside was blown in by the wind, and fell coldly on her face.
Through the rain curtain, she saw a large ox cart parked in the yard.
"It's on that cart." Xiao Yuzhuo pointed at the bullock cart.
Zhu Xiang frowned and listened carefully, "I don't know if the lady said that, the servant girl subconsciously, or there is really a child crying, and the maidservant seems to have heard it too?"
"My lady, the wind is too cold, my lady should hurry up and close the window!" The woman next to her persuaded.
Xiao Yuzhuo listened to the indistinct cries in the wind and rain, and his heart seemed to be scratched by a cat's paw.
"So what if there are children crying? It's not easy for us to get this house, what else can a lady do to help others?" Another woman also persuaded.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
"Isn't there still a place here?" Zhu Xiang immediately said, "Don't worry, lady, maidservant will go and have a look. If there is a wife with a child, maidservant invites her to come and live with us."
"Hey, you can't live with your own people, so you want to help others? I don't know what you think?" The two wives who were traveling together sarcastically.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at Zhuxiang, "You go and invite, the wind and rain are too strong outside, adults are fine with it, children will definitely not feel well."
The women who were traveling with her were somewhat displeased with her.
Zhuxiang didn't hesitate, took a big umbrella and rushed out.
"Yi Cheng said that he told us to go to other places to cause trouble, and no one wants to make himself feel uncomfortable when he is away from home!" The woman who was traveling with him looked at Xiao Yuzhuo with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It's convenient for others, it's convenient for yourself. It's not easy to go out."
"It's not easy for us ourselves. If we force a servant, the lady is kind, so I have to do what I can!" The women sitting together couldn't help but criticize Xiao Yuzhuo.
Zhuxiang went and came back, but she came back alone.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at her, "Is there no woman with a baby?"
Did she get it wrong?
Zhuxiang nodded with a puzzled expression, "Yes, there are, but she said that the bullock cart is spacious, so there is no need to get off."
Several women in the same room immediately laughed, "Look, you want to be a good person, and people don't care about it! Do you think it's great to have a house?"
"People would rather be an ox cart than accept your kindness, right?"
……
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't care about the irony.
Only the sound of crying and crying breaking through the rain curtain made her feel tormented.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang had already made the bed, but she couldn't sit still.
"This child has been crying for so long, why hasn't he been coaxed?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help asking.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at her worriedly.
Others don't know, but the two of them know that it is precisely because the lady is worried about Xiao Langjun's illness that she ventured to leave Wancheng and go to Chang'an.
The lady was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, and when she heard other people's children crying like this, she would definitely think of her own son.
But when the woman at the side heard it, she sneered.
Those ironic and teasing words pierced people's hearts one by one.
The lady is magnanimous and doesn't care about them, but Zhuxiang can't listen anymore, "Shut up! You are also mothers, why don't you have any compassion?"
"Compassion is when you have the ability to show mercy! Now that you can't protect yourself, and finally asked Tongpu's servant, how can you still show mercy to others?" The woman asked back.
Zhuxiang gritted her teeth and wanted to make a move.
Don't say that it's time for the lady to be the princess before, but she is not the princess later. When did she suffer from such uselessness?
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Ju Xiang quickly stretched out her hand to grab her, "Don't cause trouble!"
"Hmph, what's this called? The dog takes the mouse - mind your own business!" The woman snorted, kicked off her shoes, and sat down cross-legged on her bunk.
"What did you say?!" The veins on Zhuxiang's forehead were about to explode.
Ju Xiang couldn't bear to listen to it either.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly stood up and walked out.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang didn't care about arguing with others, "Where are you going, lady?"
"Ju Xiang and I went to see if the child has some kind of disease? Why did he cry for so long without stopping?" Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The woman in the room snorted fiercely, quite disdainful of Xiao Yuzhuo's kindness.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang didn't dare to persuade, each of them took a big umbrella and followed her to the big ox cart.
It was still raining heavily, even with umbrellas, the shoes, socks and skirts of the three of them were all wet.
The sound of a child crying came from inside the bullock cart, and a woman was coaxing him, but the child kept crying.
It seems that after crying for too long, the child's voice has become hoarse from crying.
Xiao Yuzhuo reached out and knocked on the car window, "Excuse me, Ma'am, where is the child feeling uncomfortable? I have a medical woman here who is skilled in medicine. If you trust her, can you ask her to show the child?"
Hearing Xiao Yuzhuo's voice, the child in the car seemed to cry even louder.
But apart from the crying of the child, there seemed to be a sudden silence in the car.
The window was opened from the inside, but the curtains were still drawn.
"Thank you for your kindness, lady. The child is fine, but it's just a little troublesome. I'm sorry to trouble you." The woman said politely.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Perhaps the child was frightened by the heavy rain. Even if the ox cart is comfortable, it is not as quiet as the room. We have a guest room. Although it is a full bed, it can accommodate one person. If you don't dislike it, why not?" Come to the guest room with the baby? The guest room is full of women and little girls."
There was another sudden silence in the car.
The child's cry was also much quieter.
Xiao Yuzhuo was even more worried, could it be that the child was tired from crying?Tired of crying?Or is it bad?
When people encounter things, they can't help but think of the worst.
The more things you care about, the more so.
"Don't worry, you can ask your husband to send you there. If you are worried, I will send you back. I am also a mother. When I hear the cry of my child, I can't help but think of my own child, so I invite you again and again. The intention." Xiao Yuzhuo explained.
Zhu Xiang was a little angry at the moment, her wife, who was once the proud daughter of heaven, was so kind to persuade and invite her, how could she not appreciate it?
"Forget it, lady, let's go, it's not surprising that people are on guard when they are away from home." Zhu Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, and waited for a while, but no one in the bullock cart spoke.
If you say more, it's annoying.
She shook her head to go.
The person in the car suddenly said, "Lady stay."
Xiao Yuzhuo stopped.
"The lady has children too, why are you out alone?" asked the woman in the car.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback.
Zhu Xiang snorted and said, "My wife has something to do when she goes out, so I kindly ask you, don't I even have to tell you in detail about the things at home?"
"Then... has your lady's husband ever been with you?" the woman in the car asked again.
"Hey, I'm talking about you! Come here if you want to live, forget it if you don't! What are you doing asking about people's family affairs?" Zhuxiang said angrily.
Xiao Yuzhuo patted Zhuxiang's hand, "Forget it, let's go back."
"If my wife is sympathetic and sincerely helps, but please arrange a guest room for our family, this child can't live without his father," said the woman.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression froze.
Zhu Xiang smiled, "I told you, my wife is only living in a bunk house now, but you want a single room? You are not asking for help, it is difficult for others!"
"No matter how much money we have, we can give it. I just ask the lady to speak for us." The voice of the woman in the car was not loud, and she didn't sound overbearing.
Zhuxiang rolled her eyes, pulled Xiao Yuzhuo, and said to her, "Lady, let's go, don't bother with her!"
But Xiao Yuzhuo looked up and saw a handyman carrying things into the posthouse.
"Go and call a handyman." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Zhuxiang pouted, but went anyway.
The handyman came quickly, "What's the matter, lady?"
"Maybe we can find an upper room? This woman has brought a child. It's so inconvenient. Their family is willing to pay a high price, just asking for a place to stay." Xiao Yuzhuo said warmly.
Seeing her graceful eyebrows and smiling face, the handyman said very politely, "Mrs. Hui knows that it would not be difficult if it was on weekdays, but it is raining heavily today, and a master has booked the entire post house, and does not allow idlers to enter, villain." Can't you do it?"
"Because of the heavy rain, I asked for a convenience, adults are fine, but the children were frightened by the sound of the rain and kept crying. I hope you will accommodate me and say a few more kind words." Xiao Yuzhuo said, and gave Juxiang a Wink.
Ju Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and handed the handyman a purse.
The handyman squeezed his purse, his face a little embarrassed.
This lady is good-looking, and she speaks politely. He really wants to help with this.
But the grandpa who is coming to live...
"Lady, I'll ask you later." The handyman gritted his teeth and said.
"Thank you." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
But the woman in the car said, "Young lady is really a bodhisattva. For strangers, she takes money and keeps a low voice. I'm really embarrassing you."
This sounds strange.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at the ox cart suspiciously.
The woman's voice was soft, not like a stubborn and eccentric person.
But the lady is working hard for her affairs, and she is still talking sarcasticly?
Xiao Yuzhuo also tilted his head to look at the bullock cart, feeling an indescribably strange feeling in his heart.
"Madam, wait in the corridor?" Ju Xiang said.
The three master and servant stood in the rain. Although they were holding umbrellas, their clothes were getting wet more and more.
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to pick up his steps and leave when he suddenly saw the handyman coming in a hurry.
But the handyman didn't come alone, he was holding an umbrella, and there was a gorgeous old woman walking in front of him.
The old woman and Xiao Yuzhuo bumped into each other, both startled.
Before Xiao Yuzhuo could speak, the woman laughed.
"Hey, isn't this the lady of the Yue Palace? Why did you meet me here? Where are you going?" the woman asked.
"Shuixiang, your Zuixiang Building has opened? Are you free to wander outside?" Zhuxiang sarcastically said.
That gorgeous woman is exactly Shui Xiang, the bustard of Zuixianglou.
Hearing the words "Zixiang Building is open", the smile on her face was a bit ferocious.
"Thanks to my wife, my Zuixiang Building has not been opened yet. But it doesn't matter, no, my master has returned from outside the pass, and I am going here to welcome my master! When my master arrives, there will be nothing that cannot be resolved Son!" Shui Xiang smiled triumphantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at the door of the posthouse.
I saw Yi Cheng holding up an umbrella, trying to shield a person in a black windbreaker from the rain.
Half of his body was wet, and he was smiling all over his face.
The man in the cloak was surrounded by two tall and strong young men holding umbrellas for him.Yicheng couldn't get close to him at all, but he still tried his best to please him.
"Third Master, Third Master! You're here! Didn't you get drenched by the heavy rain?" The old bustard immediately greeted her with a flattering smile.
(End of this chapter)
Xiao Yuzhuo silently flipped through the account books.
Liang Sheng took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Now there will be no more charges for exchanging flying money for cash in the Zouyuan, and the business of the cabinet shop will also be affected."
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't seem to care, he said in a more serious tone, "And if we open it again, will the Holy Majesty doubt the lady?"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "The shopkeeper Liang is worried that since Chang'an City doesn't ask me to open cabinets, the central area can't radiate, so let's surround the central area."
Liang Sheng was taken aback when he heard that, "What did the lady say?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Let's develop cabinet workshops outside Chang'an City first, and then attack Chang'an when the situation is unstoppable."
Liang Sheng was taken aback by her indifferent but determined tone.
"However, this is a long-term plan. Don't be in a hurry now. Let's reduce the size of Wufangzhai in Chang'an City first. Some shops with little profit in the market are closed, and we will vigorously open branches outside Chang'an City." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Liang Sheng nodded repeatedly, although he thought her idea was too risky.
After all, the shops with low profits in Chang'an City are also making profits. It is unknown what the situation will be and what difficulties they will encounter when they re-open semi-colons in other places.
But seeing that a woman like her has such courage, as her big treasurer, he naturally can't be timid.
"The villain understands." Liang Sheng agreed, "One more thing, the villain..."
Liang Sheng spoke but hesitated.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, "Shopkeeper Liang is from Chang'an City, right? I want to know something about Chang'an City."
Liang Sheng frowned slightly, "What the villain wants to tell my wife is also about Chang'an City."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "That's a coincidence, why don't shopkeeper Liang talk about it first?"
Liang Sheng licked his lips, "The villain has been paying attention to the situation of the general's residence, hoping to get news from the general's wife. Just when the villain left Chang'an, I heard that the general's residence has frequently invited a Hu Langzhong to visit The family, I don't know if... General Jing fell ill?"
Xiao Yuzhuo's face froze, Mr. Hu?
"The general came back from victory, but the Holy Majesty took his military power captive. Although he was granted the title of king of Wu, how can he compare with a general who holds a heavy army?" Liang Sheng frowned, and said slowly, "I wonder if the general was too worried, so he fell ill. "
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, her face turned pale.
Jing Yan is as strong as a cow, will he get sick?
Could it be that his precious son Chong Wu was sick?
"But... have you ever found out what kind of disease it is?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked cautiously.
Liang Sheng shook his head again and again, "The Hu Langzhong has a very close relationship with General Jing, so he won't say anything."
Xiao Yuzhuo immediately scratched his heart like a hundred claws, he couldn't sit still.
Originally thinking that Jing Yannian, the father, would definitely take good care of the child, she endured the pain of missing her, but in order to bring her son back in a dignified manner in the future, she also accepted it.
Now Xiao Chongwu is sick?
"Don't worry, lady," Liang Sheng sighed softly, "General Jing is strong and strong, but he can't think about it for a while, and he will get better eventually. Hu Langzhong's medical skills are quite famous in Chang'an City."
His reassurance is like scratching an itch, how could it reach Xiao Yuzhuo's heart.
She gritted her teeth and frowned, as if she had made a difficult decision.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Liang, for telling me this. I'd better leave the matter to shopkeeper Liang to Wufangzhai. As for the matter of the cabinet shop, we'll talk about it in detail later." Xiao Yuzhuo got up to leave after finishing speaking.
Liang Sheng also stood up quickly, "My lady is in such a hurry, what are your plans?"
She turned her head and met his worried gaze.
His eyes were deep, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his face was concerned.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "When I was away, you took good care of my property and kept looking for me, it was hard work for you. Now I am safe and sound, you can take a good rest for a while."
"Didn't the lady say that she wanted to ask me about Chang'an?" Liang Sheng asked.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Master Liang has already told me."
"So my lady is planning to quietly return to the capital to visit the general?" Liang Sheng said immediately.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, she nodded slowly, "Yes... I can't feel at ease after all."
"Your Majesty thinks that the lady is already...wouldn't it be very bad if she returns to Chang'an and falls into the hands of the Majesty?" Liang Sheng frowned.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "I'll go quietly, I've read it, and I'm relieved, so I'll go quietly, and the Holy One won't know."
Liang Sheng frowned slightly.
Xiao Yuzhuo saluted and said goodbye with a smile.
Liang Sheng hurriedly returned the gift, but he called to stop her, "Miss, give me two days to prepare."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
"Miss going to Chang'an like this is arousing suspicion. Give the villain two days, the villain forms a caravan and asks the escort to escort the lady to hide in the caravan, so no one will be suspicious." Liang Sheng said.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being pleasantly surprised when he heard that, "Thank you so much."
Liang Sheng bowed his hands and returned the salute, "It's what a villain should do."
Xiao Yuzhuo returned to the Yue Palace, and Mei Xiang wanted to pack up.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't ask her to clean up anything, "If you make the King of Yue suspicious, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave."
"I don't bring some clothes, bedding, tea, snacks... How can I stand on the journey of a lady?" Mei Xiang was worried.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, "I have business to do, and I'm not going to play. I'm going to go to Chang'an with all these things? I'm afraid that I will be taken down by the Holy Majesty just after entering the city gate?"
"That lady is going to suffer all the way." Mei Xiang sighed.
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "I'm not afraid of suffering, I just want to see Chong Wu."
Liang Sheng asked Lan Xue to send her a message that the caravan was ready.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't tell King Yue, just like going out as usual, he only brought a change of clothes, and specially left Mei Xiangxiyue at the mansion.
Only Zhuxiang and Juxiang were brought together on the road.
Liang Sheng invited bodyguards to accompany him for protection.
The caravan has several large carts, not Wufangzhai's caravan, there are other merchants going to Chang'an.
There are also other people's family members.
Xiao Yuzhuo brought two maids with him, which was not particularly eye-catching in this line of work.
"Thank you." Xiao Yuzhuo turned around and said to Liang Sheng before getting into the carriage.
Liang Sheng glanced at her, then quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, "If you're polite, my lady, I'll see you off."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, supported Zhuxiang's hand, and got into the carriage.
The caravan left the gate of Wancheng before noon.
By the time it was night, we had already left for more than a hundred miles.
When Li Tai heard that night was coming and Xiao Yuzhuo hadn't returned home, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
But since Chongwu was taken away by Jing Yannian, she also came back very late, and he still waited patiently.
But it was already dark, and it was past dinner time, and she hadn't come back yet.
Li Tai couldn't sit still, and when he came to her courtyard, he saw two maids talking in a low voice on the porch outside the main room.
He stepped forward to ask, but the two maids faltered.
Li Tai felt that something was wrong, but the two maids refused to tell the truth no matter how much he pressed them.
Li Tai was anxious, "We can only protect her if she is in Wancheng. If she leaves Wancheng secretly, I don't know. What should I do if she is in danger?"
Both Mei Xiang and Xiyue knelt and did not speak.
"Xiyue, you are the son of my family in the Yue Palace. Your hometown is in Wancheng, and your husband's family and mother's family are all working on the Zhuangzi in Wancheng. If you don't tell the truth, you don't want them to have a good time?" Li Tai asked coldly.
Xiyue's face turned pale, "My lady..."
"Xiyue!" Mei Xiang immediately raised her hand and tugged at the corner of her sleeve.
Xiyue pursed her lips, "The servant girl doesn't know..."
Li Tai was furious, and ordered Chen Xiyue's child to be found as well.
When she was Xiao Chongwu's nanny, her son was just eight months old, and now her son is over one year old and is being raised by the family.
Seeing her son, Chen Xiyue trembled all over.
Li Tai held the little child in his arms, and asked her coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, where did my lady go?"
Seeing that Xiyue didn't even dare to look at her child, Mei Xiang seemed to be afraid of taking a look, so she couldn't help but put together her bag.
She couldn't help it, and suddenly got up from the ground, "His Royal Highness, what is it to use a child to threaten someone? No wonder my wife wants to leave here! If my wife sees this situation, I'm afraid my wife will be scared in the future." I don't want to see you again!"
Li Tai's face froze.
He looked at Mei Xiang angrily, and Mei Xiang also stared at him with a stiff neck.
Li Tai suddenly bent over and put the child on the ground.
The child immediately threw himself into his mother's arms.
But Li Tai stretched out his hand fiercely, and grabbed Mei Xiang's throat, "I can let that child go, but I have to ask you carefully."
Mei Xiang's face turned red from being pinched by him, but she had a sneer on her face, "It's fine for the King of Yue to strangle me, I won't say anything, my wife treats my servants like relatives, never threatens, never forces , the servant girl will never betray the lady! Willing to die for the lady!"
Li Tai looked at the stubborn and smiling Mei Xiang, his complexion became darker and uglier.
When Mei Xiang was pinched and rolled her eyes, he suddenly let go.
Mei Xiang coughed again and again.
Xiyue quickly stood up and supported her.
Mei Xiang snorted coldly, "Xiyue is originally a servant girl sent by the King of Yue to the lady, why is she willing to be loyal to the lady and betray her without being threatened by the King of Yue? Wouldn't His Highness the King of Yue think deeply about the reason?"
King Yue frowned and turned to leave.
But Mei Xiang said loudly behind him: "Because my wife has never been anyone's appendage! She is not attached to anyone! She is independent, self-improvement, she makes us see hope! She treats us kindly and peacefully! See how we are Personally, she respects each and every one of us!"
King Yue's footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head and gave Mei Xiang a cold look, with doubts in his eyes.
Mei Xiang smiled, "My lady would not be attached to the general in the past, and she will not be attached to His Highness the King of Yue now. If His Royal Highness is willing to help the lady, he may still become friends with the lady. If His Highness only wants to control the lady, he will only ask the lady to be with you. You alienate."
King Yue looked at Mei Xiang and sneered, "Stupid! Ignorant!"
After speaking, he strode away without looking back.
Xiyue hugged her child and looked at Mei Xiang in a daze.
Mei Xiang rubbed her neck and let out a long sigh of relief, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
There were tears in Xiyue's eyes, "Mei Xiang, what you said is really good! Really, we are slaves, and we can be bought or sold elsewhere. Life and death depend on the master's will. But the lady treats us like relatives. Generally... I can't say what you say, but I think the same as you in my heart!"
Mei Xiang nodded heavily, and grinned at her, "Follow the lady, the lady will make us live better, what the lady once said, she will definitely lead us to do it."
Xiyue hummed heavily.
Xiao Yuzhuo, who had left Wancheng, did not know that the maids in his own courtyard were so optimistic about her.
She has a great cause to do, and she has grand ideals to achieve.
But she is also a soft-hearted mother who misses her children.
Even if she just took a look, as long as she knew that Xiao Chongwu was safe and sound, she would be relieved.
Maybe now she is unable to protect her child well, and cannot lead her child to live a bright and aboveboard life.
But one day, she will not have to be afraid of anything, and can live well under the sun.
The king of Yue sent people to chase them out of Wancheng quietly.
He himself could not leave.
Zhou Yanwu was sent by the sage to watch him. If he also leaves, Zhou Yanwu will definitely be suspicious.
That Yuyu is even more dangerous.
King Yue's men chased her around, but he didn't expect that she would have the courage to go to Chang'an.
On the third day Xiao Yuzhuo left Wancheng, the sky was very cloudy.
I heard people on the road that it was going to rain today.
Xiao Yuzhuo still didn't believe it.
Liang Sheng asked her if she wanted to rest in the town first, but she was anxious to go to Chang'an to see Xiao Chongwu, so she shook her head and refused.
This caravan was organized by Liang Sheng, so naturally they all listened to Liang Sheng.
The caravan did not stop at the town, but continued on its way.
But after noon, the sky became very gloomy.
The caravan speeded up and wanted to rush to the next town so that they could have a place to stay.
I never thought that before evening, the sky would be as gloomy as dark.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
The heavy rain poured down.
After a while, the road became muddy and the road was difficult.
"It's good this time... don't stop when it's time to stop, hurry on the road, and become a drowned rat..."
Someone outside the car complained.
Xiao Yuzhuo's complexion was not very good-looking.
She was the one who didn't ask to stay. Although she didn't name her name in this complaint, she sounded uncomfortable.
Liang ordered people to go ahead to explore the way.
Not long after, the man came back and said: "One mile ahead, there is a post house. The post house is not small, and it can definitely accommodate caravans!"
When the whole group heard the news, their morale was boosted.
The wheels of the carriage sank into the mud, and everyone pushed the carriage out against the rain.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't sit still in the car, even though Ju Xiang Zhu Xiang kept persuading her, she still got off the car herself and pushed the cart with everyone.
The other female relatives saw that there were two maidservants beside her, dressed in good manners, and they didn't even complain, and they took the lead in the rain.
They stopped talking.
The bodyguards who were dissatisfied before and other merchants looked at Xiao Yuzhuo differently.
"Lady, get in the car, let us do the rough work!" A bodyguard stepped forward and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo wiped the rain off his face, smiled slightly, "It's not too far away, it's inconvenient to sit in the car, let's go."
Some bodyguards put their ponchos on her and her maids.
There were also women who handed them clean towels from the car.
Another car got stuck in the mud, the woman in the car didn't say a word, just like Xiao Yuzhuo, she got down and walked aside.
It was raining cats and dogs, but the party finally arrived at the post house.
The group had just moved into the post house, and Xiao Yuzhuo and the others had just changed into clean and crisp clothes.
Then I heard the handymen in the posthouse chasing people away, "Get out! Go to the stables at the back!"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
"What's going on?" Zhuxiang frowned.
Before I understood what was going on, I heard the handyman knocking on their door, "Get out, do you hear me, go out and live in the stable!"
"It's not that we don't give money, so why live in a stable?" Zhu Xiang opened the door and said angrily.
"Give me money?" The handyman snorted, "My lord, I have booked this posthouse. Now the posthouse won't let you live, and you can't even pay me! Get out!"
Zhuxiang was furious when she heard the words, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to do it.
Ju Xiang stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Hey I haven't heard of..."
"Bamboo Fragrance." Xiao Yuzhuo also called her.
"My lady, how could they let someone live in a stable?" Zhuxiang frowned.
"Go out, don't cause trouble. Forgot what we are going to do?" Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at her.
Zhu Xiang curled her lips, angrily packed up the few salutes they had brought.
Someone in the corridor was arguing with the orderly.
When Xiao Yuzhuo went out, he saw Liang Sheng talking to the postman.
Liang Sheng waved at her and told her to wait in the corridor.
I don't know what benefit Liang Sheng gave that Yicheng, Yicheng took a look at them and left them a servant.
He also personally came over and told them: "I've given you this room because you have female relatives. You stay in the room, but don't come out. If you cause trouble, I will be implicated!"
"Who is it that has booked the posthouse, so arrogant?" Zhuxiang couldn't help asking.
That Yi Cheng glared at her, "Don't inquire! Knowing more is no good!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and told them to stay in the inferior room, and don't make a sound or come out.
The lower room is not big, and there are still two rows of bunks.
The female family members of the caravan were not limited to Xiao Yuzhuo and her two maids.
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo didn't go to the stable, those female relatives also went to the lower class room instead of going to the stable.
In addition to Xiao Yuzhuo and three people, there were three or four women and two little girls sitting in the room.
It was too crowded for the six people to live in a row of shared bunks, so one person was allocated to sleep with Xiao Yuzhuo and the others.
"It will be fine when the rain stops." Ju Xiang whispered, making the bed together with Zhu Xiang.
Xiao Yuzhuo stood by the window.
There was a lot of rain outside the window, and the house was not only full of shops, but also facing the stables in the backyard.
The neighing of horses and the shouting and cursing of people all came in from the window.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly turned his ears, "Zhuxiang, have you ever heard a child crying?"
She left Wancheng for Chang'an just to see Xiao Chongwu.
Along the way, I pay special attention to children under one year old. Hearing the crying of other people's children is like hearing my own children crying.
Her heart will involuntarily follow suit.
Zhu Xiang came to the window and listened attentively.
"No? The servant girl only heard the sound of rain, the sound of people, cows and horses..."
"Yes!" Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, looking a little uneasy.
Zhuxiang shook her head.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but push open the window.
The rain outside was blown in by the wind, and fell coldly on her face.
Through the rain curtain, she saw a large ox cart parked in the yard.
"It's on that cart." Xiao Yuzhuo pointed at the bullock cart.
Zhu Xiang frowned and listened carefully, "I don't know if the lady said that, the servant girl subconsciously, or there is really a child crying, and the maidservant seems to have heard it too?"
"My lady, the wind is too cold, my lady should hurry up and close the window!" The woman next to her persuaded.
Xiao Yuzhuo listened to the indistinct cries in the wind and rain, and his heart seemed to be scratched by a cat's paw.
"So what if there are children crying? It's not easy for us to get this house, what else can a lady do to help others?" Another woman also persuaded.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly.
"Isn't there still a place here?" Zhu Xiang immediately said, "Don't worry, lady, maidservant will go and have a look. If there is a wife with a child, maidservant invites her to come and live with us."
"Hey, you can't live with your own people, so you want to help others? I don't know what you think?" The two wives who were traveling together sarcastically.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at Zhuxiang, "You go and invite, the wind and rain are too strong outside, adults are fine with it, children will definitely not feel well."
The women who were traveling with her were somewhat displeased with her.
Zhuxiang didn't hesitate, took a big umbrella and rushed out.
"Yi Cheng said that he told us to go to other places to cause trouble, and no one wants to make himself feel uncomfortable when he is away from home!" The woman who was traveling with him looked at Xiao Yuzhuo with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It's convenient for others, it's convenient for yourself. It's not easy to go out."
"It's not easy for us ourselves. If we force a servant, the lady is kind, so I have to do what I can!" The women sitting together couldn't help but criticize Xiao Yuzhuo.
Zhuxiang went and came back, but she came back alone.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at her, "Is there no woman with a baby?"
Did she get it wrong?
Zhuxiang nodded with a puzzled expression, "Yes, there are, but she said that the bullock cart is spacious, so there is no need to get off."
Several women in the same room immediately laughed, "Look, you want to be a good person, and people don't care about it! Do you think it's great to have a house?"
"People would rather be an ox cart than accept your kindness, right?"
……
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't care about the irony.
Only the sound of crying and crying breaking through the rain curtain made her feel tormented.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang had already made the bed, but she couldn't sit still.
"This child has been crying for so long, why hasn't he been coaxed?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help asking.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at her worriedly.
Others don't know, but the two of them know that it is precisely because the lady is worried about Xiao Langjun's illness that she ventured to leave Wancheng and go to Chang'an.
The lady was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, and when she heard other people's children crying like this, she would definitely think of her own son.
But when the woman at the side heard it, she sneered.
Those ironic and teasing words pierced people's hearts one by one.
The lady is magnanimous and doesn't care about them, but Zhuxiang can't listen anymore, "Shut up! You are also mothers, why don't you have any compassion?"
"Compassion is when you have the ability to show mercy! Now that you can't protect yourself, and finally asked Tongpu's servant, how can you still show mercy to others?" The woman asked back.
Zhuxiang gritted her teeth and wanted to make a move.
Don't say that it's time for the lady to be the princess before, but she is not the princess later. When did she suffer from such uselessness?
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Ju Xiang quickly stretched out her hand to grab her, "Don't cause trouble!"
"Hmph, what's this called? The dog takes the mouse - mind your own business!" The woman snorted, kicked off her shoes, and sat down cross-legged on her bunk.
"What did you say?!" The veins on Zhuxiang's forehead were about to explode.
Ju Xiang couldn't bear to listen to it either.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly stood up and walked out.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang didn't care about arguing with others, "Where are you going, lady?"
"Ju Xiang and I went to see if the child has some kind of disease? Why did he cry for so long without stopping?" Xiao Yuzhuo said.
The woman in the room snorted fiercely, quite disdainful of Xiao Yuzhuo's kindness.
Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang didn't dare to persuade, each of them took a big umbrella and followed her to the big ox cart.
It was still raining heavily, even with umbrellas, the shoes, socks and skirts of the three of them were all wet.
The sound of a child crying came from inside the bullock cart, and a woman was coaxing him, but the child kept crying.
It seems that after crying for too long, the child's voice has become hoarse from crying.
Xiao Yuzhuo reached out and knocked on the car window, "Excuse me, Ma'am, where is the child feeling uncomfortable? I have a medical woman here who is skilled in medicine. If you trust her, can you ask her to show the child?"
Hearing Xiao Yuzhuo's voice, the child in the car seemed to cry even louder.
But apart from the crying of the child, there seemed to be a sudden silence in the car.
The window was opened from the inside, but the curtains were still drawn.
"Thank you for your kindness, lady. The child is fine, but it's just a little troublesome. I'm sorry to trouble you." The woman said politely.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Perhaps the child was frightened by the heavy rain. Even if the ox cart is comfortable, it is not as quiet as the room. We have a guest room. Although it is a full bed, it can accommodate one person. If you don't dislike it, why not?" Come to the guest room with the baby? The guest room is full of women and little girls."
There was another sudden silence in the car.
The child's cry was also much quieter.
Xiao Yuzhuo was even more worried, could it be that the child was tired from crying?Tired of crying?Or is it bad?
When people encounter things, they can't help but think of the worst.
The more things you care about, the more so.
"Don't worry, you can ask your husband to send you there. If you are worried, I will send you back. I am also a mother. When I hear the cry of my child, I can't help but think of my own child, so I invite you again and again. The intention." Xiao Yuzhuo explained.
Zhu Xiang was a little angry at the moment, her wife, who was once the proud daughter of heaven, was so kind to persuade and invite her, how could she not appreciate it?
"Forget it, lady, let's go, it's not surprising that people are on guard when they are away from home." Zhu Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed, and waited for a while, but no one in the bullock cart spoke.
If you say more, it's annoying.
She shook her head to go.
The person in the car suddenly said, "Lady stay."
Xiao Yuzhuo stopped.
"The lady has children too, why are you out alone?" asked the woman in the car.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback.
Zhu Xiang snorted and said, "My wife has something to do when she goes out, so I kindly ask you, don't I even have to tell you in detail about the things at home?"
"Then... has your lady's husband ever been with you?" the woman in the car asked again.
"Hey, I'm talking about you! Come here if you want to live, forget it if you don't! What are you doing asking about people's family affairs?" Zhuxiang said angrily.
Xiao Yuzhuo patted Zhuxiang's hand, "Forget it, let's go back."
"If my wife is sympathetic and sincerely helps, but please arrange a guest room for our family, this child can't live without his father," said the woman.
Xiao Yuzhuo's expression froze.
Zhu Xiang smiled, "I told you, my wife is only living in a bunk house now, but you want a single room? You are not asking for help, it is difficult for others!"
"No matter how much money we have, we can give it. I just ask the lady to speak for us." The voice of the woman in the car was not loud, and she didn't sound overbearing.
Zhuxiang rolled her eyes, pulled Xiao Yuzhuo, and said to her, "Lady, let's go, don't bother with her!"
But Xiao Yuzhuo looked up and saw a handyman carrying things into the posthouse.
"Go and call a handyman." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Zhuxiang pouted, but went anyway.
The handyman came quickly, "What's the matter, lady?"
"Maybe we can find an upper room? This woman has brought a child. It's so inconvenient. Their family is willing to pay a high price, just asking for a place to stay." Xiao Yuzhuo said warmly.
Seeing her graceful eyebrows and smiling face, the handyman said very politely, "Mrs. Hui knows that it would not be difficult if it was on weekdays, but it is raining heavily today, and a master has booked the entire post house, and does not allow idlers to enter, villain." Can't you do it?"
"Because of the heavy rain, I asked for a convenience, adults are fine, but the children were frightened by the sound of the rain and kept crying. I hope you will accommodate me and say a few more kind words." Xiao Yuzhuo said, and gave Juxiang a Wink.
Ju Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and handed the handyman a purse.
The handyman squeezed his purse, his face a little embarrassed.
This lady is good-looking, and she speaks politely. He really wants to help with this.
But the grandpa who is coming to live...
"Lady, I'll ask you later." The handyman gritted his teeth and said.
"Thank you." Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
But the woman in the car said, "Young lady is really a bodhisattva. For strangers, she takes money and keeps a low voice. I'm really embarrassing you."
This sounds strange.
Both Zhuxiang and Juxiang looked at the ox cart suspiciously.
The woman's voice was soft, not like a stubborn and eccentric person.
But the lady is working hard for her affairs, and she is still talking sarcasticly?
Xiao Yuzhuo also tilted his head to look at the bullock cart, feeling an indescribably strange feeling in his heart.
"Madam, wait in the corridor?" Ju Xiang said.
The three master and servant stood in the rain. Although they were holding umbrellas, their clothes were getting wet more and more.
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to pick up his steps and leave when he suddenly saw the handyman coming in a hurry.
But the handyman didn't come alone, he was holding an umbrella, and there was a gorgeous old woman walking in front of him.
The old woman and Xiao Yuzhuo bumped into each other, both startled.
Before Xiao Yuzhuo could speak, the woman laughed.
"Hey, isn't this the lady of the Yue Palace? Why did you meet me here? Where are you going?" the woman asked.
"Shuixiang, your Zuixiang Building has opened? Are you free to wander outside?" Zhuxiang sarcastically said.
That gorgeous woman is exactly Shui Xiang, the bustard of Zuixianglou.
Hearing the words "Zixiang Building is open", the smile on her face was a bit ferocious.
"Thanks to my wife, my Zuixiang Building has not been opened yet. But it doesn't matter, no, my master has returned from outside the pass, and I am going here to welcome my master! When my master arrives, there will be nothing that cannot be resolved Son!" Shui Xiang smiled triumphantly.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked up at the door of the posthouse.
I saw Yi Cheng holding up an umbrella, trying to shield a person in a black windbreaker from the rain.
Half of his body was wet, and he was smiling all over his face.
The man in the cloak was surrounded by two tall and strong young men holding umbrellas for him.Yicheng couldn't get close to him at all, but he still tried his best to please him.
"Third Master, Third Master! You're here! Didn't you get drenched by the heavy rain?" The old bustard immediately greeted her with a flattering smile.
