The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 294 On the Road (Part [-])
Wang Da is a servant in the posthouse. He is over 40 years old this year. He has been working in the posthouse since he was a teenager, and he has been working in this posthouse for more than 20 years.

"Drink, this snow is really big!"

Wang Dawo was in the house, guarding a charcoal basin, roasting his hands while watching the heavy snowfall outside the window.

At this moment, the door of the room opened, and a young guard in his early twenties walked in, wearing a coir raincoat and a hat on his head. At this time, the hat and coir raincoat were covered with snow.

He put the torch in his hand on the brazier at the door, took off his coir raincoat, shook the falling snow on his body, and said angrily, "Today is really evil. In such a cold day, there are still people coming to the posthouse."

Wang Da handed him a wine gourd, and asked: "Si Lang, that gentleman has already rested?"

The young guard was surnamed Zhang, ranked fourth in the family, known as Zhang Silang.

He took the wine gourd and unscrewed the lid, took a long gulp, touched the water stains around his mouth, and sighed: "Well, I've settled down. Uncle Wang, you are very knowledgeable, what do you say?" Who is this gentleman? You can say that he is a nobleman, but he only has a young man with him. You can say that he is a boy from a poor family, but his demeanor is not ordinary."

Wang Da listened to Zhang Silang's words, and nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, you have only been here for a few years, and you have good eyesight. Hehe, you can actually see that he is very handsome... Well, he has made progress. Let me tell you You, this gentleman must be a son of a famous family, don't look at him with only one entourage, and the clothes on his body are not luxurious, but the workmanship of the clothes is extremely exquisite, only the embroidered patterns on the cuffs and neckline are not ordinary officials. It can be done."

Taking back the wine gourd, Wang Da drank a few sips from the spout, and continued: "Also, he gave me a pouch just now, I opened it, and inside it was a naked body with a pattern of red gold, only this one It only weighs two or three coins. I heard people say that such gold objects are all rewards from the Taiji Palace, except for the emperor's relatives, ordinary courtiers don't have them."

Zhang Silang didn't expect Wang Da to get such an award, and he was very envious.

However, he is not jealous, Wang Da is an old man in the post house, and he has been in the post house for the past few years, and he has often been reminded by others.Besides, he still wants to study with Wang Dada for a few years, and the ability to observe words and emotions alone is enough for him to learn for a long time.

The two sat around the charcoal basin while drinking and chatting. When it was completely dark, Wang Da stretched his waist and said, "It's getting late, and no one will come here again. Go and lock the gate, let's Go to bed early, too."

Zhang Silang hurriedly responded, got up and put on his coir raincoat, took a burning stick from the brazier, held it up as a torch, and left the room.

He walked to the gate and was about to lift the latch to lock it. He didn't want to hear the chaotic sound of horseshoes coming from outside. He listened carefully, and there was the sound of someone yelling in the sound of horseshoes.

Huh?Is there someone coming to lodge again?

Zhang Silang walked out of the gate and looked around with a torch. Sure enough, a long line of people and horses came from one end of the official road. A few armored guards on horseback led the way. They held the rein in one hand and held a torch in the other. Running towards the posthouse.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, another nobleman is here to stay!"

Across the heavy snow, although Zhang Silang couldn't see the attendants and the exact number of people coming, the noise of horseshoes still reminded him that there must be a lot of people coming, at least there were hundreds of armored guards or trilogy on horseback.

Tsk tsk, what kind of person needs so many guards to travel?And now that there is a war in the imperial court, there is a shortage of horses among the people, but the group of people who came here can have so many horses, which shows that they are not ordinary officials.

"Your Excellency? What Honorable Person?"

Wang Da came out wearing a coir raincoat, and watched carefully by the light of the torch.

At this time, the horse team had arrived at the gate of the post house, led by a young and strong man in his early 20s. He was not wearing armor, but a thick cotton robe and a Hu-style hat (in the Tang Dynasty). A kind of wool felt hat), with a whip in his hand, sitting on the horse, he cupped his hands at Wang Da and Zhang Silang, and said: "My lord is the former Sizhi of Dali Temple, and now he is returning to his hometown, Ding You, and wants to stay overnight in the posthouse. "

The director of Dali Temple?A sixth-rank petty official in the capital?

Just now Zhang Silang was guessing who the nobleman in the carriage was, but he was a little Beijing official, so he was a little disappointed.

Wang Da did not make a judgment so early, Si Zhi is not a high-ranking official, but the person who came has such a big show, he must be a nobleman or a son of a noble family.

Coincidentally, just as Wang Da was guessing the identity of the visitor, a carriage drove over slowly.

The person in the carriage raised the curtain and asked in a deep voice, "Ada, why don't you go in, what are you talking about?!"

Wang Da saw the gentry emblem hanging in front of the carriage with sharp eyes, he opened his mouth, and blurted out in disbelief, "Is your lord's surname Cui?!"

This is the emblem of the Boling Cui family, tsk tsk, the number one family in the world.

Wang Da is indeed an old man who has been working in the post house for more than 20 years. Although his position is not popular, he has gained a lot of experience over the years.

This post house is located on the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang. The people who come and go every day are not officials who are going to or returning to Beijing, or relatives of honored and noble countries, and even children of aristocratic families.

Having seen a lot of noblemen, Wang Da also recognized the insignias of several famous surnames, so he recognized at a glance that the person who came was most likely a descendant of the Cui family of Boling.

Thinking of this, Wang Da also understood: No wonder, a small sixth-rank Beijing official can put on such a posture when he leaves Beijing.

Hearing Wang Da's words, the people in the carriage couldn't help being stunned, and then laughed and said, "Hehe, you old man has good eyesight, yes, our surname is Cui. Well, don't talk too much, hurry up and prepare some clean ones. There are women and children in the back of the room."

Wang Dalian repeatedly said yes, with an inexplicable flattery in his tone, and he said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, I'll go here."

Ah Da on the horseback laughed loudly, pointed at Wang Da with a whip, and said: "This is not our lord, our lord is still to come."

After finishing speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "What kind of eyes do you think that the butler is your lord, and our lord is Cui Jiayulang who is famous all over the capital."

As for the butler, Cui Yi, although he is not bad looking, but, he is already an 'elderly person' in his 40s, okay? !It's thousands of miles away from their lord.

Cui Yi in the carriage also only laughed, and said, "Okay, let's prepare the room quickly."

Wang Da knew that he had admitted to the wrong person and had an oolong, so he couldn't help but smiled embarrassingly, and then repeatedly ordered Zhang Silang to clean up the room, and then went to wake up the cook to boil water and cook.

At this time, Uncle Cui's carriage also arrived. He heard the voice from outside, opened the curtain, leaned out half of the body from the carriage, bowed his hands to Wang Da and other busy servants, and said with a smile: "Young Uncle Cui , thank you everyone!"

Seeing that Uncle Cui was dressed in plain clothes, Wang Da knew that he was the master. He also saw that although his face was thin, he was still handsome and dignified. The staff of the hall, Cui Langjun has worked hard all the way, come in and rest quickly."

Cui Youbo nodded, didn't say anything, but jumped out of the carriage with the support of the coachman, and stood aside to supervise the housekeeper and stewards to arrange the convoy.

Not long after, Xiao Nan's ox cart also drove over, Wang Da had been guarding the door, seeing the regulation of this ox cart, he was startled again, isn't it, this, this is the frame of the royal princess , Could it be that the princess is sitting in the car? !

Although people at that time did not bow their knees to the royal family and nobles as they did in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people in Shengdou were still in awe when they saw the nobles.

Especially this Wang Da, he is not just a small man, he is still a small official of the court. When he met the lady of the princess whose rank was much higher than him, his calf was only protruding, and he was afraid that he would treat the noble lady slowly.

Cui Youbo came to the side of the ox cart and said in a low voice: "Lady, we have already arrived at the post house, have Changsheng and A Yuan both fallen asleep?"

Xiao Nan said softly: "Well, the two little guys are sleepy after playing all afternoon, and they are falling asleep right now. Mr. Lang, don't worry about me, let's arrange the convoy with Qilang and the others first."

Cui Youbo nodded, and then told Qin Zhen, who was driving the ox cart, to be careful not to disturb the two young masters.

Wang Da followed the ox cart into the yard carefully, and took the time to ask Ah Da, who was running before and after: "Dare to ask Xiao Lang, who is the lady of the princess in the ox cart?!"

Ah Da raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Hey, you old man has really good eyesight. You actually recognized the identity of my wife. It's okay to tell you. My wife is the granddaughter of the saint and the eldest daughter of Princess Changle. Princess Xiangcheng."

Wang Da gasped, he didn't expect the lady in the car to be so valuable.To be honest, a low-level official like Wang Da may not know the name of each of the saint's sons, but he has definitely heard of the reputation of the saint's beloved daughter, Princess Changle.

Usually, Wang Da often listened to the chats of the nobles who came and went to stay, and often heard the gossip of the upper class in Beijing. Wang Da also heard a lot about the story of Princess Changle: what is the first child of a saint queen, what a saint The most beloved Ning Xin'er, what kind of empress dotes on her and even makes an exception to make her daughter a princess...

There are many stories, but there is only one conclusion, that is, Princess Changle is more important than the prince in front of the saint queen.

And the lady in the bullock cart is actually the daughter of Princess Changle, let alone petty officials like them who can be provoked, no, he wants to tell those boys again, don't offend the nobleman.

In a room in a corner of the post house, a 25-year-old young man heard the noise outside and couldn't help frowning: "Who is making the noise outside?"

The attendants hurriedly went out to inquire, and came back after a while to reply: "Huangjun, he is a small official of Ding You, and he said he is helping grandma's coffin to return home."

The man frowned: "How can a petty official be so frivolous?" His style was even greater than that of the county magistrate.

The servant added: "Ah, I inquired about it, the little official's surname is Cui, and his wife is a princess..."
