Chapter 85 Leaving Beijing (2)
The woman hurriedly complained, "Because of Li Haitang's dismissal, she vented her anger on the Gu Mansion. She resented Miss Gu very much. She led someone to the door and broke into the Gu Mansion. However, the people in the Li Mansion didn't take advantage of it. Arrived and escorted away the people of Li Mansion. At that time, many people saw that all the people of Li Mansion escorted out from the ancient mansion had their own trophies. I sent Chai Lang to tell him that he didn't see it with his own eyes, but many people said that Li Haitang had lost his face. .”

Mrs. Bu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Bu Yuyan asked anxiously, "What about Sister Shu? Was she hurt? Is she alright?"

"This? This old slave doesn't know, please forgive me, Miss."

Bu Yuyan stood up again, "Grandmother, let me go out of the house, I want to see with my own eyes if Sister Shu is well."

Mrs. Bu looked at Mrs. Bu, and saw that Mrs. Bu had no objection, "Come here, pass on the words of the old lady, let the third young master, the sixth young master, and the seventh young master accompany the eighth young lady out of the house together." Accompanying is false, protection is real.They have offended the third prince in Bufu. Although the third prince is young, he is a vicious person, and people have to guard against him.

Bu Yuyan couldn't wait for the servants to pass the message slowly, so she yelled "I'm going to find the third brother", and disappeared.

A group of people from the ancient mansion left the south city gate. It was almost noon and the sun was very hot.

They were already half an hour behind the agreed time, so naturally they didn't dare to stay, and those on foot took courage and hurried all the way with their backs on their backs, closely following behind the chariots and horses.

In the carriage, Qing Shu was anxious, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do to delay in such a situation.In order not to let her impetuousness affect others, she thought of a trick to divert her attention.That is, count the silver coins you got today, and string up the copper plates one by one by the way.

Xiaojuan was even more enthusiastic about counting money than Qingshu.I saw her spread out her burden, open the box, and when she saw silver ingots or broken silver, she would pull them to Qing Shu, occupying the copper plates herself, counting them with great joy, and then she would not forget that a hundred copper plates should be strung together with hemp rope things.

Xiaojuan counted very slowly, and when Qingshu collected the silver taels, Xiaojuan only made a string of more than a dozen coins.

Qing Shu didn't intervene, silently admiring the way she counted the copper coins one by one with bright eyes and concentration.Time passed unconsciously, and there were fewer and fewer scattered copper plates, and more and more strings were put aside.

The sound of galloping horseshoes came from far to near, and the oncoming knight passed by the Gufu group like a gust of wind.After a while, the knight on the horse turned back, looking very young.He slowed down his horse, followed Qingshu's carriage, and talked to Butcher Zhang, "Brother, do you dare to ask if the family members of the ancient mansion are sitting in this carriage?"

Butcher Zhang didn't even give him a stingy look, stared straight ahead, and replied blankly, "No."

Disappointed, the young knight looked back towards the direction of the capital. On the official road as far as he could see, except for this group of people with carriages and a large number of people, the rest were basically ordinary people in twos and threes with courage.He turned his head and continued to talk tentatively, "Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything malicious. Ten miles ahead, the young master of the Gu family accompanied my young master and stopped to rest. The young young master of the Gu family is very worried about Miss Gu's safety, my young master So I ordered my horse to come over and have a look, if I encounter one, I have to get off my horse and go back to report, so that the young master of the Gu family can feel at ease."

Butcher Zhang still stared ahead, "Since it was your son's confession, you have to do it with all your heart."

The young knight looked at Butcher Zhang suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?" He ran ten miles away, only to meet this group of people who seemed to be returning home with their families.

Butcher Zhang: ...

The young knight muttered unconsciously, "It's strange, there are few horses and chariots leaving the city at noon, and now you can see only your team with horses, chariots, and entourage. How could it not be? Am I going to the city Waiting for someone at the door?"

In the carriage, Qing Shu pursed her lips and smiled as she quietly listened to the commotion outside.Unexpectedly, Zhang Butcher, who seemed fierce and taciturn, actually liked to play honest people.

The young knight stopped his mount with a troubled expression, and watched Qing Shu's carriage pass by him, the carriages and ox carts full of goods passed by him, and the people carrying burdens and baskets passed him.Suddenly, he yelled, pointing to the one-armed Cai Tieniu, "You are from the ancient mansion, damn it, you dare to lie to me. The driver in front, please stop for me." He said, urging his horse to catch up with Zhang who was driving in the front The butcher was still yelling, "Damn it, only pay attention to the one with the scar on the face, but ignore the one-armed one." Apparently, someone told him these two characteristics before he set off, so that he could recognize people.

Butcher Zhang still maintained his Tianzi No. [-] expression, that is, he had no expression, and ignored the young man who was shouting in his ear.

The young knight yelled again, and with annoyed look on his face, he urged his horse to pass them, rushing to deliver a message to the people waiting in front of him.

When Butcher Zhang saw him galloping away in a panic, he grinned and muttered "silly boy".

Xiaojuan leaned close to Qingshu's ear, and said in a low voice, "Miss, Zhang Da is really bad." Zhang Butcher doesn't have a proper name, and everyone calls him Zhang Da and Zhang Butcher.

Qing Shu smiled noncommittally, "I'm done counting, how many are there?"

Xiaojuan closed the box, muttered with her fingers, and finally raised her head and replied: "98 hanging coins, and, and 86 copper coins."

Qing Shu raised her fingers and tapped her head, "No, repeat the count."

Xiaojuan scratched the buns on her head with annoyed expression, "Miss, did the slaves make a mistake, or did the numbers go wrong?"

Qing Shu didn't make things difficult for her, "The count is wrong, try again." She knew in her heart that Xiao Juan was distracted by listening to the movement outside, that's why she made the wrong count.

She counted twice more, and the two times were the same, so Xiaojuan dared to report, "One hundred pennies, seven pennies, 86 copper coins." After Qingshu's intentional training, Xiaojuan could only count from one to ten , now she can count from one to one hundred, but she still can't count over one hundred.Therefore, she is used to counting to a hundred and then starting from one.One hundred and seven hanging coins, naturally she said so separately.

A group of people traveled ten miles, and finally joined the people who had left the city when the city gate opened early in the morning.

Gu Qingyang stood by the side of the road early and waited. As soon as Butcher Zhang pulled over and parked the carriage, Gu Qingyang called his sister to run up.

Qing Shu stepped down on the horse stool and said with a smile, "Slow down, don't fall."

As soon as Qingshu's feet landed on the ground, Qingyang jumped up and hugged her arms, "Sister, you are so slow."

Qing Shu rubbed his head, "I met someone I hate, and I delayed my departure time. I made Xiao Yang worry, and my sister apologized."

Mother Su came forward, "Miss, you're here now. If you don't arrive, the young master will turn around and go back to pick you up."

After hearing this, Qing Shu narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Is Ma'am okay?"
