Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 3 Encountering Thieves Halfway
Five days later, two ordinary Ugai carriages pulled by two skinny horses that were so hot that they were breathing, stopped in front of Zhuangzi's gate.

There is no decoration on the body, the front one is covered with ash-colored cloth, and the rear one is covered with blue cloth.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, the blue curtain on the carriage at the back was lifted, and a woman in her forties who was sweating profusely and a maidservant with double buns about 13 years old came down.

The woman is dressed in a willow green and bamboo blue skirt with a narrow mouth and embroidered bamboo skirt. She has a rather slim figure and a fair and beautiful appearance. She has a golden and silver hairpin with a swallow butterfly on her head and holds a round fan embroidered with lotus, which is very dignified.

The little maid stepped forward to knock on the door, and a middle-aged man in his forties poked his head out, "Who are you looking for?"

The woman said arrogantly: "I am Mother Lin, and I am ordered by my wife to take the young lady back!"

"Wait a mininute."

Soon, a girl with peach blossom face, snow-like skin, and peerless elegance stepped out from inside.

Combing a ponytail, with a unique shape of begonia pearl flower stepping, crescent moon color with blue wide-sleeved skirt, full waist, tied with a light blue ribbon, swaying in action, step by step Health lotus.

The expression on his face still showed a bit of laziness after waking up, adding to the charm, and there was a kind of publicity and evil that seemed to be a smile but not a smile between his brows.

A slender little servant girl held an umbrella, "Miss, it's hot outside, so be careful."

The girl hummed lightly, her voice was clear and melodious, like ding-dong spring water, but the ending sound was slightly hoarse, crisp and numb, which made one's soul tremble.

Nanny Lin stared wide-eyed, she was dumbfounded for a moment.

I didn't expect such a beautiful person to exist in the world!
It is not an exaggeration to overwhelm the country and the city, and the fairy descends to earth!
She had known Lu Xinyan for three years, and she couldn't believe it. The beautiful woman in front of her, who was comparable to a fairy, was the vulgar, old-fashioned Lu Xinyan from before!

At this time, two smooth-haired steeds came from not far away and stopped firmly in front of the gate.

The red-covered car roof is hung with tassels made of white jade beads, surrounded by silver-red soft smoke, carved with brass and inlaid with gold and silver threads, which is extremely luxurious.

"Miss, please get in the car."

Xiao He opened the silver-red curtain, and bursts of cold air burst out from inside.

Inside is a soft couch, with two armchairs on each side, ice at the four corners, and a low mahogany table in the middle, on which fresh washed melons and fruits are placed.

"Xiao He, you've done a good job. There's a reward." Lu Xinyan said with a smile.

"Miss Xie." Xiao He said happily
"This is the life of a human being." After getting into the car, surrounded by a trace of cool air, Lu Xinyan sighed comfortably, "Come on, everyone."

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Lin stood up, staring dumbfounded at the dozens of carriages drawn by tall horses and surrounded by silks of different colors coming one after another.

He caught a coachman and asked, "Are those going back home together?"

"Yes."

"What's on it?"

"Two carts full of ice, used on the road, two carts of melons and fruits, three carts of nurses and maids in the Zhuangzi, and the rest are some young lady's clothes and some basic daily necessities." The coachman said: "Miss said, keep everything simple." , if there is anything missing, I will buy it after I go back.”

This is also called simplicity?It is more luxurious than the travel of princes and nobles in the capital!

Nanny Lin was speechless, "Is this carriage originally owned by Zhuangzi?"

"No, it was bought by Miss a few days ago, and it will be used when I go back home."

Buying so many luxury carriages at once just to go home?

Rich people are really capricious!
Following a few yells and whips, more than a dozen carriages swayed past her. When each carriage shook, there was air-conditioning seeping out, and it seemed that they were filled with ice.

Sister Lin thought that she was a nanny in the Hou's mansion, and her treatment was not as good as that of a rough woman in a village in the countryside, and she felt like a thorn in her throat.

The little maid asked tremblingly, "Mommy, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Follow behind!" Nanny Lin endured her anger and walked towards the carriage that came from the Hou Mansion.

Looking at the cotton-clothed, ice-free, and thin horse-drawn carriage, which was so different from this one, when he was about to get into the carriage he had brought, he suddenly had a thought.

Since there is no one in the carriage dedicated to pick up the young lady, and it is still empty, it is good to let her have a good time.

Behind the gorgeous carriage pulled by more than a dozen tall horses, there was an ordinary carriage pulled by two skinny horses, a typical wealthy district and a poor district.

Because the two carriages behind were moving too slowly, Lu Xinyan asked Uncle Tian to stop and go, resting and waiting.

In this way, the person who was supposed to be able to reach the capital at dusk the next day, had to delay until it was almost twenty miles away after dark.

More than a dozen carriages hung red lanterns and drove past at a leisurely pace, leaving the two carriages behind behind by a considerable distance.

In the woods on both sides of the official road, there are three black figures hidden, and the one on the right has greedy eyes, "Boss, these carriages seem to belong to rich people, why don't you rob them and let the brothers make a small fortune?"

"No!" The eyes of the black and strong man in the middle were shining, and he could see that he was very reluctant, but he still calmly refused, "The leading coachman is not weak, and the three of us are not afraid of joining forces, but Our main task this time is an ordinary carriage, so we must not lose our reputation!"

At this time, a person on the left pointed to the distance, excitedly said, "Boss, the target has appeared!"

The three of them suddenly regained their composure, "All ready!"

In the silver-red soft smoke Rome car, Lu Xinyan was dozing off, when Qingtong suddenly said: "Miss, there is someone lying in ambush in the woods, do you want to solve it?"

Xiao He's face turned pale, her legs trembled, "But... but did you meet a robber?"

"Don't be afraid, Xiao He. I'm here with Miss, and I will definitely protect you!" Lu Xinyan opened her beautiful eyes, and the light in her eyes flowed. After teasing and comforting her little maid, she lazily said: "Don't worry about it, the enemy won't move , I don't move."

"Really... really there are robbers?" Xiao He's eyes widened.

Lu Xinyan patted the couch under her body, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid, come and sleep with me. If there are robbers rushing in, I will block it for you!"

"Miss!" Xiao He turned her head angrily, and ignored her, but because of Lu Xinyan's teasing, she felt quite settled.

Lu Xinyan picked up a grape, threw it into the small cherry mouth chicly, swallowed it two or three times, and then took another one.

While eating grapes, on the quiet official road, Mother Lin suddenly screamed, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Ah! Don't tear my clothes! Help! There are thieves! Woo..."
