The carriage was driving on Rongguang Street, and the wheels of the carriage made a clattering sound. Yu Weiyin felt a little sleepy at the sound.
Yao Xiang was so considerate that she put an embroidered pillow behind her back and burned her favorite osmanthus incense in the snuff burner. The smoke curled around her and she suddenly closed her eyes.
It was the middle of the day, and the sun was shining brightly.
Through the swaying cloud-patterned car curtains, I could vaguely hear the cries of vendors, the footsteps of pedestrians, and the incessant chirping of cicadas on the plane trees.
In this noisy commotion, Yu Weiyin actually experienced a trace of clear tranquility, and he did not feel depressed at all. He even ignored the heat in the air.
But this kind of peace did not last long, only a huge clang was heard, the horse neighed, and the carriage suddenly stopped with a shock.
"ah--"
Yao Xiang's exclamation sounded in the car, and Yu Weiyin suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold her arm in time, then hurriedly supported the car wall, and shouted out in a cold voice: "What's going on!"
Soon the driver's panicked voice came, "Miss, the wheels have sunk into the depression and are stuck in the crevices of the rocks. I'm afraid I won't be able to move for a while now."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Weiyin stretched out his long fingers and opened a corner of the curtain.
It turned out that the wheel was stuck in a deep pit and was stuck tightly by a triangular square brick.
The driver whipped his horse to drive, and the horse made a bleating sound. Several times, the carriage did not move at all, attracting frequent glances from pedestrians along the street.
"If it doesn't work, go hire a sedan." Yu Weiyin ordered.
The groom responded and left, but he never returned.
The sun was shining brightly, the rocks were flowing with gold, and the car had been parked for a long time, so stuffy that the interior of the car was shaped like a steamer.
Sweat broke out on Yu Weiyin's forehead, and he thought to Yao Xiang, "It's better to walk to Xu Mansion on this day than to be bored here."
"Miss, this can't be done! The Xu Mansion is at least two miles away from here. Today, my slaves are not equipped with curtains and hats. If you are walking on the street like this, don't you want to be judged by those cloth stockings and blue shoes? Let's wait and see.
If it's hot, my slave will fan you."
As he spoke, Yao Xiang turned to Yu Weiyin and waved the silk fan in his hand vigorously.
But that little bit of wind was better than nothing, and instead made people sweat more violently. Even Yao Xiang herself had big drops of sweat rolling down her forehead, and her little face turned red with heat.
"Yao Xiang, it's no big deal to show off. I'm not a weak lady. Is it possible that, just for the sake of a good reputation in others' mouths, I have to suffocate myself to death in the car?"
"But, but, miss, there are many people around now, and I see that there are many ruffians..."
Yu Weiyin snorted coldly, "What are you going to do with them? At most, they will be looked at a few times and said some nasty words. If you want to fight, your young lady will not necessarily lose."
She has now figured it out. Rumors can kill people invisible, but if you treat that sound as noise, deny it any meaning, and don't interpret any information that can hurt yourself, that is the most common thing in the world.
's voice.
Life is the most important thing. She must keep this life to redeem her past regrets and repay her past kindness.
so……
Taking Yao Xiang's hand, there was a softness in her beautiful eyes, "Yao Xiang, don't be afraid. If you are worried, just follow me."
Although Yao Xiang was a little hesitant, she was moved and filled with enthusiasm. Since the young lady is not afraid, what should I be afraid of?
The master and servant were about to get up when they suddenly felt the carriage seem to be pushed with force, and the wheels made a rattling sound.
Yu Weiyin was startled, and opened a corner of the curtain, and saw Shao Mo wearing ordinary black clothes, standing less than an arm's length away from her.
He was tall, with a long sword on his waist, and his deep eyes were as dark as stars. Even if he didn't say a word, the people around him would feel the chill of the cold wind penetrating their muscles.
The noise suddenly stopped and there was silence.
"Miss, Mo is late."
Yu Weiyin didn't know why, but his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly suppressed his chaotic emotions and said, "It won't be too late. The car is stuck in the masonry. See if it can be moved."
Hearing this, he rolled up his sleeves and robe, revealing his arms with looming veins.
He climbed onto the car with both hands, and with just one strong force, the car quickly ran over the bricks, but the speed was controlled very well, and the people in the car were not frightened.
"Where are you going, Miss? I am willing to drive Miss."
"Xu Mansion."
Shao Mo held on to the horse's bridle and saw that Yu Weiyin's cheeks seemed to be slightly flushed. Instead of being calm as before, he was filled with a trace of unnoticeable panic.
But...why was she panicking?
Just as he was about to look again, the sedan curtain had quickly fallen.
He only saw a catkin that bullied the frost and snow, shrinking into the sedan chair, like a white rabbit running away, casting a dark shadow in his heart.
He glanced at the red carriage and said nothing. He sat in the front room and drove the carriage forward like a shadow in the wind.
The breeze blew through the curtains, soothing the original heat and dispelling the tension in Yu Weiyin's heart.
For some reason, whenever Shao Mo got too close and met those serious eyes, she would always feel a little panicked and subconsciously want to step back.
Could it be that his temperament was too cold and hard, which made her afraid?
The shadow of the sun was rising and falling, and Yu Weiyin's thoughts were complicated and dreamlike, as if he had returned to the previous world.
At that time, Shao Mo was her horse slave, and what he did all day long was raising horses, leading horses, and driving horses for her. Now he is her bodyguard, but he doesn't want to, and his movements are smooth and calm.
"Miss, Xu Mansion has arrived."
Shao Mo's deep voice came, interrupting her thoughts.
Yao Xiang got off the sedan first and was about to help Yu Weiyin when she saw a pair of broad and strong hands passing away before her.
"Hey you brat-" Yao Xiang shouted, but was instantly silenced by Shao Mo's cold eyes.
This man was usually silent, but his eyes were like murderous knives, which made people feel frightened.
"There is mud in front of the door, so it would be more appropriate for me to help you get out of the car."
After hearing this, Yao Xiang was so angry that she opened her eyes wide. Men and women are not allowed to have sex! Even if there is mud, this brat should not be the one to help the young lady!
He must want to climb up to the young lady’s family so that he can marry into the Yu family and become his uncle!
Thinking about it this way, doesn't the previous loyalty to the young lady have a purpose?
But she didn't dare to say it in front of him. The man's eyes were not as indifferent as usual. It was so cold now. In such a hot summer, Yao Xiang felt that her teeth were chattering.
Yu Weiyin opened the sedan curtain and looked at the hand in front of him.
The hands were wheat-colored, and the palms were slightly rough, but the fingers had clear joints and were slightly curled up like a bow ready to go, exuding awe-inspiring force.
She had seen these hands many times, but she had never observed them so carefully like this time, not even missing the intertwined palm lines.
It's really emotional.
It was just a matter of getting out of the car. She brushed away the slight tension in her heart and put her slender fingers on it.
However, before she touched his palm, she was immediately dragged over by a powerful force. She whispered in surprise and quickly stretched out her hand to press the man's broad shoulder.
Shao Mo's palms were firmly locked around her waist, restraining her like a crab's claws, preventing her from moving at all.
He hugged her out of the car almost tightly, and the two of them were very close to each other. The skirts flew up, and Yu Weiyin felt dizzy for a while, and then the awe-inspiring wind in the wilderness blew towards her face.
The tense string in my heart is on the verge of breaking.
"Put me down..."
Her throat trembled. Although it was an order, her voice was not as calm as before, and there was even something unspeakable...
