Mrs. Shen nodded: "It's a long way to Yancheng. I heard that there are often bandits under Yunshan Mountain, so you should be careful."
"Bandits?" Zhu Ziming asked curiously: "In today's peaceful and prosperous times, why are there still bandits? Don't the government take action to deal with them?"
Shen Bixin glanced at him. She really didn't know whether he really didn't know or pretended not to know. These bandits were hiding in a hill next to Yunshan Mountain. In order to make a living, they would occasionally pop up from the mountain road. They robbed passers-by of their money, but for some reason, the government turned a blind eye to them, as if they were conniving.
This is something that everyone in Lingyun City knows, but he doesn't even know that you are no longer from Lingyun City...
Mrs. Shen said solemnly: "I don't know why the government is so indulgent. These bandits rarely come out to do evil. It's just that they behave strangely. As long as pedestrians leave some passing money, there is no need to worry. However, with your mouth, you are the last to If you ramble on, don't make them angry."
When Zhu Ziming heard his wife's words, he was undoubtedly reminding himself that if he really encountered a bandit, he should be more honest and not be glib.
However, these bandits are quite reasonable. They are not like vicious bandits who dare to do anything. But when they ask for tolls so blatantly, they are no different from bandits. Why do the officials of Lingyun City sit back and ignore it? Yun City Lord's subordinate Yun I am afraid that if I just send out a master at random, I can catch all these bandits in one fell swoop.
Zhu Ziming was surprised. Could it be that Yun Tianchou didn't bother to pay attention to these little bandits, or were they too powerful?
If these bandits were really powerful, how could Zhu Ziming give these bandits some money and just spend them away?
"Mom, don't worry, I will keep an eye on him," Shen Bixin said calmly.
Mrs. Shen smiled. Zhu Ziming seemed to have no thoughts, but he was as smart as a fool. Xin'er was not deeply involved in the world, how could she win him? Xin'er couldn't control him.
Zhu Ziming was speechless, why did he act like a person who only makes trouble? He said helplessly: "Am I such a ignorant person..."
"That's the kind of person you are," Shen Bixin said coquettishly, otherwise how could she have offended Lingyun's largest force, Yunmen.
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Shen said with a wry smile. They started to quarrel before they could say a few words. They were really enemies: "You guys should set off early, lest it gets dark and you can't reach the small town ahead. Inn."
At this time, the daily necessities of Uncle Shen and the ladies were all prepared and loaded onto the carriage by the maids and servants. Everything was ready. Miss Shen's personal maid Lan'er was standing beside the carriage, waiting for the lady to come. .
The groom sitting in the carriage is Zhang Zhiyun, the guardian of the Shen Mansion. He knows some martial arts. It is much better to take someone with some skills when traveling. Mrs. Shen specially ordered him to go with her.
This cheap son-in-law is really different from others. He is obviously a son-in-law who comes to the house, but he is domineering in the house and dares to secretly compete with Xin'er. He is really brave. Mrs. Shen thought to herself, but this fake son-in-law has his The great thing about him is that there is nothing he can do about him.
This person from Yan State is not familiar with the place. If he cannot find an inn and sleeps in the wild, it will be very dangerous. Zhu Ziming said seriously: "Madam, let's go."
"Well, have a nice trip," Mrs. Shen smiled slightly and said, "Xin'er, when you get to Yancheng, write a letter back to let mother know that everything is fine with you."
Shen Bixin said softly: "Mother, I can do it."
Mrs. Shen smiled warmly and said: "It's getting late, go earlier."
Shen Bixin often travels around, and this is not the first time she has traveled far away. I remember that when Xiner went away for the first time, she burst into tears. The little girl has grown up now and her mind has matured. Mrs. Shen sighed in her heart, it is really painful. It’s Xin’er.
Zhu Ziming and Shen Bixin got on the carriage. After everything was ready, Zhang Zhiyun, who was sitting in the front, waved his riding whip: "Drive!"
With the sound of the whip, Shen's carriage drove slowly and quickly on the official road, heading towards the gate of Lingyun City.
Mrs. Shen stood in front of the gate of Shen Mansion, looking at the carriage going further and further away, but it still didn't leave...
————————————————————————
Under the towering Yunshan Mountain, there is a winding mountain road. This mountain road is sandwiched between two peaks. There are cliffs everywhere. Just a slight cough can still hear the echo. There are long sounds between the cliffs. There are lush green vegetation, otherwise it would be really eerie if it were all bare...
There were very few pedestrians and carriages on the mountain road. At this time, I saw a gorgeous and unique carriage approaching the mountain road. There was a flagpole in the front of the carriage. When the flag was fluttering, there was a big Chinese character "Chen" written on it. All of a sudden People realize that this is Shen's carriage.
There were three people sitting in the carriage, Zhu Ziming, Shen Bixin and her personal maid Lan'er.
Zhu Ziming sat opposite the two of them as usual, holding the tea on the tea table and taking a few sips from time to time. The carriage had been driving for several hours, and it had only reached the foot of Yunshan Mountain. Find an inn to rest in the town ahead, it really has to be dark before you can get there.
This kind of driving speed is simply slower than a snail for Zhu Ziming's mind. It is rare to go out for sightseeing and the transportation is too inconvenient. It is really difficult for these ancient people to come here like this.
"Uncle, would you like some snacks?" The whole carriage was very quiet. Lan'er felt a little uncomfortable and asked Zhu Ziming.
Zhu Ziming was not hungry, but he was very boring at the moment. He might as well have some snacks to relieve his boredom. He nodded and said, "Well, are there any delicious snacks?"
Lan'er said with a pretty face: "Yes, Madam asked me to bring a lot of good snacks."
With that said, Lan'er took out the baggage from under the tea table, unwrapped the snacks and put them on the table. Zhu Ziming looked at the colorful desserts, there were so many kinds, and he didn't know which one to eat for a moment. The seeds are planted.
Zhu Ziming didn't like to pick and choose. He quickly picked up a piece of mung bean cake. After biting off half of it, he felt that he was satisfied and threw the remaining half into his mouth. This eating... I really can't compliment you.
Seeing her uncle eating, Lan'er was speechless for a moment. A few black lines appeared on her forehead, and she said to Shen Bixin beside her: "Miss, come and eat something too."
Shen Bixin said with a straight face: "I don't want to eat it right now, so I'll leave it for now." I'll eat it after he finishes eating...
This girl really loves to hold grudges. Zhu Ziming smiled and said: "Miss Shen, it will take a few hours to get to the inn. Don't be hungry. Eat something."
The little maid nodded. That was exactly what she meant. Otherwise, how could she dare to make independent decisions? She was just afraid that she would not take good care of her and make her uncle and young lady hungry.
