After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 300 Black Knights

She didn't know that Ning Xueyao was not angry at her for saying the wrong thing, but had another reason - she clearly remembered that only the maids in Zong Yuexi's yard would tie a strand of red string on her hair.

When she first arrived at the Zongfu, she found that the big maids around her, and even the sweeping maids in the courtyard, were all tied with red strings in their buns.At that time, when she first returned to Kyoto, she thought it was a unique custom in Kyoto, so she asked Zong Yuexi specifically.

Zong Yuexi smiled and said: "Sister Ning's family doesn't know something. I have two older sisters above me. These two older sisters were born of my father's first spouse. They usually look down on me as a step-miss, and my father also favors them. After a long time, the maids in their yard don't pay attention to my maids and often bully them."

"Later, I used a trick to make my two elder sisters lose their father's favor. The group of dogs who rely on people's power, without the master to rely on, naturally dare not embarrass my people anymore. I let the maids in my yard go Tie a red string on the bun, and after they leave this yard, it will represent my face. Naturally, no one dares to embarrass them again."

To put it bluntly, although it is just a red rope, in the Zongfu, it means superior to others. Zong Yuexi used this method to warn the servants of the Zongfu that it is very important to the master.

Could this maid belong to Zong Yuexi?
Ning Xue lowered her eyes and helped the maidservant up, and apologized softly: "Okay, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have said such harsh words to you, and even beat you with my hands. You and I have been master and servant for more than ten years, you should know my I can’t hear anyone saying that the General’s Mansion is not good, and I can’t hear people saying that the generals at the border are not good. To you, they may be just a distant existence. They fought bloody battles to defend their home and country, but you enjoyed a peaceful time , prosperity and stability, it seems that it has nothing to do with it."

"But have you ever thought, if it wasn't for them, how could you enjoy peace? What's more, you are my people now, and those generals are my uncles and brothers. If you say they are bad, you are talking about me. "

The servant girl sniffed and sobbed, "Your servant understands. Girl, don't be angry with your servant, I won't be able to do this anymore."

Ning Xueyao wiped her tears: "Don't say that, I was wrong too. The girl is here to apologize to Xiao Chan." Then, she raised her hand to caress her cheek again, "Did I hurt you? There is a good snow muscle cream on it, I will rub it on you when I go back, and your face will be back to normal the next day."

Xiao Chan was about to kneel down again, but was held back by Ning Xueyao, but she still said anxiously: "Girl, you must not force it, Xiao Chan is just a cheap life, and you will be beaten as soon as you beat her. The snow muscle ointment was rewarded by the emperor." Even the empresses in the palace might not have a sacred thing, how could Xiaochan spoil that thing."

"It's just a box of snow muscle cream. I said you can use it if you can. But before that, I need you to do something for me." Ning Xueyao's eyes were deep, "I want you to squat at the gate of the Zongfu, This is not a short-term effort, and you may have to work hard for the next few days. I want to meet the maid who showed you the way, you go and help me find her and bring her back to the house. "

Xiao Chan nodded emphatically: "The maidservant must complete what the girl ordered."

……

There is no wind and no moon tonight, and the long street is lonely.It's past the curfew time, and the lights of all houses are extinguished at this time, but in the far east, the palace lights in the majestic palace are always on, and the lights soaring to the sky reflect a dark blue night above, and the lonely stars are twinkling.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes on the long street, swift but regular.

In a house with white walls in Daiwa, there was a curious man holding a lamp and getting up at night, but the hairy wife who woke up next to him grabbed his clothes, and a slang with a strong local accent mixed with sleepiness softly rang out: "Don't die! When will it be?" It's Nong's turn to join in the fun when the superiors are doing business? Get sleepy early, and get up tomorrow morning to set up a stall."

The sound of horseshoes had already reached the city gate. The man on the horse was wearing a black cloak, his face was hidden in a silver mask, and holding a token in his hand, he shouted at the soldiers guarding the city gate: "The black cavalry guards are doing business. People wait to avoid."

The soldiers didn't dare to look closely at the authenticity of the tokens, so they boldly moved forward with the lanterns in their hands. When they vaguely saw the pattern on the tokens, they bowed back and said loudly, "Open the city gate!"

The man's horseshoes passed the city gate in an instant, and the sound of neat horseshoes sounded, but after a while, they disappeared into the vast night. .

A dim light in the long street in the city went out again, and the sound of horseshoes gradually faded away into the groaning of a distant dream.

Most of the people were still asleep, not knowing what had happened tonight, or that a procession called the Black Riders rode down the Long Street and out of the city gates after curfew.

In the second half of the night, the sky was already a little clearer, the dark blue color faded, and it turned into a light blue color, and a faint moon with only an outline left fell on the horizon.

The gate of the city opened in the frosty white sky, and a carriage came slowly, running over the mossy bluestone streets, and also the yellow dirt road with withered vegetation, and finally went out of the city.

And at this time, the leisurely and lively day in the city of Kyoto finally began. First, the stall was lit early, and then there was steaming heat from the steamer. Those who get up early to go to work, those who go to the market, and those who set up a stall, you come Let me go, the heat is white, the frost is white, and the breath that people exhale when they speak is also white.

The early morning of autumn in the city of Kyoto started so innocently.

Yunzhuo, who was far away on the official road in Luying, also missed the autumn morning in Kyoto.

Neither of them slept very well last night.

After driving for a day, in the middle of the night, when the sky was slightly brighter, Wen Lu dared to stop.Otherwise, the terrain on both sides of the official road is steep, and there are deep forests and dangerous peaks. If any snakes, rats, wolves and bears come out at night, they may have nowhere to escape.

The carriage can only be stopped when the sky is brighter.Not long after night fell, Xie Jie went to Xie Jue's carriage, Wen Feng sat outside and exchanged driving with the driver, Qiu Xing went into the carriage to rest with Yun Zhuo.

There was also Jin Yiwei and the others, who also rushed around until midnight.

When it was time to stop, they fell asleep on the horse, and Wen Lu Wenfeng and others also fell asleep leaning against the carriage door.

When Yun Zhuo woke up, the carriage had already continued on its way.She is not a delicate person. She didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and didn't complain a word. On the contrary, Xie Jie, who was with her, cared about her from time to time. Even Xie Jue sent someone to ask if she had anything to eat or play with. of.

Yun Zhuo naturally answered no, but after she finished speaking, she remembered the preserved egg and shredded chicken porridge on Zhuque Street.

She is so hungry.
