Chapter 622 The Consort's Reward
When Zhuang Rou came, four people, one beast, two carriages, and when he left, only two beasts were left, but there was a group of servants.
Zhou You invited her to stay in Xiongshui County, but she got ten carriages and twenty servants. The show was very big, as if some princes and marquis were out.
Two of the carriages were particularly gorgeous. One was ridden by Zhou You himself, and two beautiful maids were also equipped with tea, water, and legs were beaten in the carriage.
The remaining one was prepared for Zhuang Rou, with thick blankets inside, the low table was filled with desserts and incense, and a maid with beautiful eyes and clean eyes came to serve her.
If you have any instructions or needs along the way, just ask this maid to do it. It is extremely considerate to prepare.
Qin Qiu snorted and squeezed into their own carriage with Yinba. There were also blankets, but there were more boxes for the money and Yinba was a little strong, which seemed a little squeezed.
But he likes to huddle with the furry Yinba, so he doesn't want to have a carriage like a maid staring at by outsiders.
Yinba didn't get on the carriage, but just watched Zhuang Rou circling around the carriage, as if she had never seen such a good thing before, and wanted to see it happily.
It hummed a few times, worried that Zhuang Rou was alone there and wanted to go over and ride in the same carriage with her.
Qin Qiu grabbed it, "You don't have to worry about her. With her thick skin and flesh, she will be fine when she meets an assassin on the road and the carriage is shot into a hornet's nest. It's better to be here. If you really have something to do, you can help from the outside."
"Oh?" Yin Ba looked at him blankly. These words were too complicated and I couldn't understand them.
At this time, Zhuang Rou tilted her head and looked over, pointed at their carriage and smiled, "Yinba, you can take that carriage."
Yin Ba patted his chest and got on the carriage without saying a word. He also patted the carriage board and asked Qin Qiu to come up quickly. But he had seen it many times. This car had to sit in front of two legs so that he could move honestly.
Qin Qiu was a little sad. Could it be that he was born to be unable to follow the wild **?
He got into the car and his eyes were casually sweeping over Zhou You's convoy. Apart from Zhou You, only two of them were good players.
It would not be easy for such a man to rob Zhuang Rou on the road. It seems that they would not be the ones who would take action. They only need to be careful of the matter on the road and after they arrive in Xiongshui County.
Zhuang Rou walked around the carriage for a few times, but she wanted to beware of whether Zhou You would install a mechanism on the carriage. She would sit under her and spikes pop up and tie herself into meat skewers.
She can't release her internal energy for twelve hours, as it would be very tiring.
After confirming that there was no problem, Zhuang Rou got on the carriage and the group rushed out of the city in a mighty manner.
When he arrived at the city gate, the carriage stopped. The pretty maid raised the thick curtains and looked out, then replied to her: "Sir, there is the prefect of Guanquan Mansion outside, and it seems that she is here to see him off."
"Oh, I thought he wanted me to leave early and hide and not see me." Zhuang Rou was eating the candied fruit prepared by Zhou You. After hearing this, she licked the candy on her fingers and came out of the carriage.
Zhou You got out of the car and was talking to Prefect Zhao.
Zhuang Rou got off the car and shouted enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhao, why are you going to send me a gift?"
"The Prince Zhuang is so polite. I don't say anything in advance when I leave. I have to let Zhao practice it for the Prince Zhuang." Zhao said, as if he was reluctant to let Zhuang Rou leave.
Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "No, it will be a few days later. Master Zhou said that the hot springs in Xiongshui County are extremely comfortable, so I naturally want to go there for the New Year. It's enough for Lord Zhao to have this intention. If you go to the capital another day, I'll treat you to dinner if I'm here."
Zhao prefect bowed and said, "Then Zhao will be respectful at that time, it is better to obey your orders. Be careful on the road of the prince-consort. This is a little bit of courtesy prepared by Zhao. I thank the prince-consort for breaking the big case in Guanquan Mansion and benefiting the people. I hope the prince-consort will accept it. This is the wish of the people of the whole city."
As he said that, he waved his hand and someone brought a box the size of a watermelon.
Zhuang Rou didn't refuse, and took it and smiled, "Mr. Zhao is so polite. You can be my elder by age. This is the New Year's money you gave me."
"The prince-consort is really joking. Where can Zhao have such a blessing?" Zhao laughed and said, "Then Zhao won't delay the prince-consort's journey. Be careful on the road. When you arrive in the capital another day, Zhao will definitely come to visit you."
Zhuang Rou handed the box to the maid who followed him and said politely: "Then I will say goodbye."
She returned to the carriage, Zhou You also said goodbye to the prefect Zhao, and the convoy boarded the official road and continued to go to Xiongshui County.
Qin Qiu looked at these people's mutual appreciation and felt extremely boring, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Rou also understood this trick and was playing very well.
"It turns out that it's not a good person." He murmured, threw off the whip, and followed the carriage.
Zhuang Rou leaned against the warm carriage, hugged a soup girl, grabbed another candied fruit and threw it into her mouth, and said to the maid: "Who, open it and see what this prefect Zhao gave me."
"Sir, my servant is Qiutang." The maid said in a soft voice.
"Qiutang? Why do everyone like to give the maid the name of flowers?" Zhuang Rou smiled.
Qiutang smiled, "I guess it's because Huaer's name sounds nice."
"I think it's easy to save trouble. You can get one by closing your eyes, and you won't hit the name of your family." Zhuang Rou looked like she had bought this maid for several years, and she was very familiar and natural about talking to her, "Open it quickly and see if it's jewelry and money, I'll take a handful of rewards for you."
Qiutang paused, just thinking she was joking, and moved away the teapot on the low table and put the box on it and opened it. She was stunned.
Zhuang Rou sat up and looked into the box. The box was filled with small brocade boxes, square and long, stuffed.
She smiled and said, "Open."
So Qiutang opened the brocade boxes inside one by one, without exception, all of which were filled with jewelry.
Zhuang Rou picked up a ruby and gold hairpin and said, "Look, this prefecture is different from the county government. Zhao Gong also knew to put jewelry in a brocade box. That's different from Anjing County. He made a box in a mess and piled it all in it. I had to look for something to appreciate people for a long time."
She put the golden hairpin back, grabbed two more brocade boxes, and threw all three to Qiutang, "This prince consort keeps his word, there is treasure for unboxing, and these three will be given to you."
Qiutang looked at her in amazement. When she opened the brocade box just now, she almost remembered what was inside and where it was placed on the table. These three jewelry were worth a lot of money, and it was worth thousands of taels of silver, especially the golden hairpin, which could not be taken down by five hundred taels.
Although she is not an unsavory person and she receives a lot of rewards from Zhou You on weekdays, she is all things that have been obtained by making contributions. Now she has just opened a box and got so many valuable things, which surprised her a lot.
"The powerful people in our capital are all rewarding people like this, and it is not worth mentioning. Work with me well. The money you have made in the past few days is enough for you to buy a house and become a rich woman." Zhuang Rou looked at her surprised look and said lightly.
Qiutang looked at Zhuang Rou with some fear. The powerful people in the capital all admire people like this. How could she believe this?
She had seen those people, but there was no such generous person at all. Could it be that she wanted to bribe herself?
What should I do, or not?
At this moment, Zhuang Rou said lightly: "If you don't accept it, you will die. I will only say it once."
