Qiao Xianyong's group of men and horses then drove in the direction of the capital. Qiao Xianyong chose the tallest white horse, which was just right for his figure. He rode on this horse and moved forward slowly with the convoy,
Because the other servants on horseback did not dare to overstep, they followed his horse closely. Therefore, there was no one around Qiao Xianyong to chat with him. Only occasionally, he saw the purple sedan in front of him.
The curtains on the small embroidered window will be lifted, revealing the face of Huanxiang or Qier, waving and smiling at him from a distance.
Qiao Xianyong's mood was very different from the last time he traveled, and he couldn't help but feel very emotional.
The last time he traveled with a large team of carriages and horses, he, Qiao Xianyong, was just an insignificant and unobtrusive handyman in the Baisha Escort Bureau, doing the most miserable and menial work, eating the roughest rice balls, and drinking the coldest water.
But now he has become the only son of a family with who knows how much wealth. There are so many servants for him to drive. As soon as he raises his hand, someone will bring wine and jelly to his mouth. When he is tired, someone will immediately lie down on him.
He was asked to dismount under his feet, and then he was sent to rest in a soft sedan that he had never slept in before. When the weather was hot, there were people fanning him. When the weather was not hot, there were two girls who kept squeezing his back.
Beat your legs.
Although Qiao Xianyong has tried his best to reject all the comforts that wealth has brought to him, compared with when he was at Baisha Escort Agency, there is a huge difference between him and him in heaven and earth.
Which kind of life does Qiao Xianyong want more? For many days, he often thought about this question when he was alone. The life in the Baisha Escort Agency was because he had other purposes, and the ordinary life in the Escort Agency was obviously
It's not what he asked for. But the current life of wealth and wealth has never been something he has longed for since he was a child. Although he now enjoys many comforts brought by wealth, it also makes him feel uncomfortable.
After more than twenty days and nights, this group of wealthy people finally arrived at Anjiang City, an important central axis city from south to north in the Central Plains. Qiao Xianyong always wondered, this is strange, why Baisha Escort Bureau
Not long after the martial arts master set out from Guang'an Town, he encountered strong men who robbed homes and houses one after another, including the green-faced leopard and the old shop of the He family. Finally, he fell into the hands of weird people such as Bai Xinxin and Luoxia Guyu.
.
As for Qiao's convoy, they traveled for more than twenty days and nights, and they followed the official road in an orderly manner. Not to mention that they did not meet any strong people who blocked the road, not even a tiger or a fox blocking the road. Could it be?
The gangsters along the way were all very snobbish, and they specifically targeted the hard laborers from the Baisha Escort Agency? Qiao Xianyong thought about it but couldn't figure out the reason.
So one day, when he was having lunch with his mother and Huanxiang in a purple sedan, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why is this road so peaceful? At first, the child was worried that he would encounter robbers and bandits like those on Baisha Escort Road.
, it’s hard for us to resist, and I also want to remind my mother to bring more good servants."
However, Mrs. Qiao seemed to be ignorant of the world. She smiled and said nothing. She looked at Huanxiang and motioned for her to answer.
Huanxiang thought for a while and said, "Brother, except for you, our group is all a family of women, and we don't have any valuable jewelry or money. What do you think those bandits from Green Forest are doing to spend their time to rob us? My sister is thinking
I think there are probably many other rich people who have spent their precious time." After saying this, he covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and laughed softly.
Qiao Xianyong knew that was not the case, but maybe his mother and sister didn't show much publicity on weekdays, so it was very possible that they didn't know that this road was dangerous. So he smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but from now on he would be more careful and vigilant.
Watch for possible dangers.
But until I entered Anjiang City, one of the ten largest cities in the Central Plains, I didn't encounter anyone who wanted to rob me of Taoism.
As they headed north, the weather became obviously cooler, and the group all put on velvet-lined robes. Qiao Xianyong, at Qier's repeated begging, put on a lavender robe with densely embroidered layers inside.
The white and soft velvet is warm and comfortable to wear. Qier said it was the neck velvet of snow foxes from Tianshan Mountain. It took more than a dozen snow foxes to make it. Qiao Xianyong just smacked his lips in surprise after hearing this.
After entering Anjiang City, the convoy headed straight to the north of the city in a very familiar way. Last night, Qiao Xianyong had learned from Qiao that he had a village in Anjiang City where he could rest for a few days before setting off on the road. His family members had already visited him.
On the way back, he reported that the roads to the capital were extremely smooth. According to the speed of travel in the past few decades, we would probably be able to reach the capital in less than the twelfth lunar month. Therefore, Mrs. Qiao tiredly asked to rest for three or four nights in Anjiang City before leaving.
Although Qiao Xianyong was anxious, he couldn't go against his mother's wishes. Furthermore, seeing that his mother and Huanxiang were not as energetic as they were when they left home, and they really needed to cultivate themselves, he could only nod in agreement.
Although the roads in Anjiang City are wider than those in Zhangzhou City, the pedestrians are also more crowded accordingly. Therefore, the speed of the convoy has obviously slowed down a lot. When they arrived at Zhuangzi mentioned by Huanxiang, it was already approaching dusk and everyone was comfortable.
Take a breath.
Qiao Xianyong looked carefully. When the convoy had just turned into a deep alley, he saw a motionless servant in black standing like nails every few meters on both sides of the alley. There was another servant in black robes.
You can see a tall man with a faint Pauline pattern embroidered on it, smiling as he approaches the convoy.
When the coachman at the head of the convoy saw the man in black, he whistled longly, and then the entire convoy stopped. Qiao Xian, who never knew what he meant, also stopped the horse. The curtain of the purple sedan was lifted.
Qier's face was revealed as she drove forward. She looked forward and shouted loudly, "Madam asked, is that the housekeeper in front of you? If so, please call over and talk."
Seeing Qier's words passed forward one by one, she saw the man in black robe trotting towards the purple sedan, stood respectfully by the sedan window, and said in a deep voice, "To answer my wife's question, it is Mrs. Yan Jinying, the housekeeper."
Go back home with the young lady." The man then quickly turned his head, greeted Qiao Xianyong accurately and said, "Welcome the young master back home."
Qiao Xianyong was stunned, and before he could react, he heard Qiao's unhurried voice coming from the sedan, saying, "Steward Yan, thank you for your hard work, your family still engages in such a big battle. It's okay for Huanxiang and I to say,
This is the first time Mr. Qiao comes, and you have taken good care of me."
The black-robed "Steward Yan" still leaned on the ground, bent over and said loudly, "Please don't worry, old lady!" Then he raised his head and said with a smile on his face, "Master, please come."
