Autumn is deepening, and the summer heat has completely dissipated, which is a good time for autumn to be crisp.
The simple carriage moved forward slowly, and the horse's hooves made a crisp "click" sound on the bluestone slab.
Outside the dusty curtain is a variety of small stalls, guarded by small couples, old people, and occasionally men with big shoulders and round waists and delicate little girls.
Look at the day just arrived at Mao, this small street began to be busy, the stalls selling bean juice and tea vegetarian are even more lively, and the porridge seller next to it is not to be outdone, shouting at the top of his voice: "Porridge Lak, lotus seed porridge, mountain chestnut porridge, meat porridge, sweet and salty, the price is fair, don't regret Lak." ” It's so good, so vibrant, so fresh, so real.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, well, there is the sweet fragrance of bean juice, the rosin of firewood, and the meat fragrance of cakes I couldn't help but go down and buy a Poria porridge, holding a simple small pottery bowl and drinking it slowly, although the rice is not a famous product but it was boiled thoroughly, Poria cocos was also ground into powder, and two round, chubby little red dates were added, which tasted soft and glutinous, with the delicate and soft fragrance of Poria cocos, slippery into the stomach, and the body was warm and comfortable.
After drinking the porridge, the sleepiness came up, and Cui Wei persuaded worriedly: "Miss, let's sleep for a while, there will be a while in Qingzhou." ” Yuzhu was not reckless, and obediently fell asleep with his stomach in his arms.
Cui Wei carefully covered Yuzhu with a blanket, looked at the door curtain of the carriage and felt quite embarrassed, quietly cleared her throat, and silently recited what she wanted to say in her heart a few times, and then forced herself to speak with shame: "Brother Xinghua, thank you so much this time, I have caused you trouble again." ” I couldn't help but spit on myself in my heart, but I still stammered, and I couldn't help but hit my pink cheeks.
"Miss Cuiwei doesn't have to be polite, it's not worth anything."
Although her voice was a little hoarse in the voice change period, it was no less than Xianle in Cuiwei's ears, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up a big arc.
"But now the victims of Qingzhou are making a lot of trouble, I heard my father say that the lord has been sent by the emperor to relieve the disaster, why should the young lady go" The holy decree has just arrived, and the news has not yet spread, but Xinghua's father Li Guan is the chief manager of the Lin Mansion, and this time he has gone to Qingzhou with Lin Yuanzhi, and it is not surprising that his only son knows.
Cuiwei wasn't sure of Yuzhu's thoughts, so she only said: "The master's thoughts, how can I, a slave, know about it."
And he pulled it over.
Although Li Xinghua tried to make the carriage move steadily on the rugged path, Yuzhu was still awakened, she stretched out her milky white hand and rubbed her misty eyes, and asked Cuiwei in a soft voice.
Cuiwei opened the curtain and looked at it and replied: "When you arrive outside Dengzhou City, go further on the Zhushui River, and after crossing the river, you will reach Qingzhou."
There was a little excitement in the words, after all, as Miss's personal maid, she hadn't gone out for a long time.
The cool autumn breeze carries the refreshing fragrance of wild chrysanthemums blowing in from the window, refreshing people's hearts.
The air was as fresh as dewdrops, the sky was blue as if it had been washed, and it was clear and ethereal, and the singing of the larks could be faintly heard, and the lingering mist in the mountains and forests in the distance was slowly dissipating, and the outline of the river was finally becoming clear.
The carriage stopped steadily by the river, Yuzhu put a veil on his face, and helped Cuiwei's hand to get out of the car.
Due to the closure of Qingzhou, the official wharf on the river has been guarded, and it is quite strict.
With Yuzhu's identity in the boudoir, he must not be questioned, so he can only cross privately.
Cui Wei was anxious: "Miss, how is this good, it is certain that it will not be passed, it is better to report the method, this trip to the troubled waters is not allowed." ” Yuzhu smiled slightly, calmly gave his maid a comforting look, turned to Li Xinghua and said, "You walk along the riverside, be careful not to be discovered, and bring me when you meet someone from our house." ” The young man didn't dare to look up at Yuzhu, and after hearing the command, he bowed obediently and left.
After a while, a mother-in-law wearing a hat came, and Yuzhu saw that it was Liu's mother Mother Liu was obviously taken aback, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately reprimanded Cuiwei with a pale face: "How did you act badly and dare to bring Miss here, who gave you the guts?"
"Oh, Mother Liu, don't blame Cuiwei, I must come, you take me across the river quickly, I know how to cure the epidemic."
Yuzhu hurriedly interrupted Liu's mother, this is not the place to speak.
"Miss, it's not a joke" Mother Liu turned around and tried to persuade Yuzhu again, but suddenly reacted to the meaning of the last sentence, and her bloodshot eyes were full of doubts and surprises.
"Miss, seriously, it's not."
"I know, of course this is not a joke, don't delay, send me how you want to send your mother."
Yuzhu playfully stuck out his tongue.
"What, Madam is here too" Cuiwei opened her eyes and looked at Liu's mother accusatory, just like looking at a thief who shouted to catch a thief.
Mother Liu lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and muttered: "It's not impossible, Madame refuses to leave the master" After the words, her eyes were red again: "Sister, don't blame Madame for not hurting you, leaving you alone in the tiger and wolf den in the capital, Madame is also bitter in her heart, worried that the old man is alone and afraid that the young master and young lady will suffer and be bullied in the future, these days and nights have not slept and kept arranging and planning" Fu Youqiang smiled and said, "God bless, it will be safe."
Yuzhu's heart was sour, in fact, she could have told Lin Yuanzhi the method last night, but for Cui's sake, she was gambling, betting on her father's sincerity for her mother.
Standing on the small boat, Yuzhu clenched his hand, if the bet wins, then the Cui family will have a very beautiful second half of life, this may be the only chance, it seems at present Yuzhu couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, although he was only wearing a simple and ordinary maid costume and only hiding his face, the only eyes that were exposed instantly crossed by a bright light, as if the flowers and leaves all over the mountains had become a foil The odds are stacked.
Liu's mother was afraid that she had learned to hold a boat, and the boat was obedient like a child in her hands, and it arrived at the opposite shore after a while.
Obviously, she already had experience when she had just sent Cui's family, and Liu's mother skillfully led Yuzhu to avoid the officers and soldiers into the city.
Wiping the sweat left on his forehead, Yuzhu couldn't help but admire the miracle of the creator, but he crossed a river, the climate has changed so much, Qingzhou is obviously hotter than Dengzhou, although it is still like the end of summer in autumn.
When you enter the city, there will be no one to check it, Yuzhu followed closely behind Liu's mother, but she was bored to share some thoughts and recall the geography, this Qingzhou and Dengzhou are very close, and they must also be close to the sea, but the climate is like this, well, there should be tall mountains around, blocking the wind rich in water vapor blowing from the sea What kind of climate type does it belong to When she was reminiscing about the shiny A of her small college entrance examination geography, she heard Cui's frightened cry. gd1806102:
