461 Warmth
Fang Jinyan opened her eyes and saw that the raindrops had lifted the curtains. The carriage had slowed down. The carriages in front and behind stopped when they heard the movement.
"What's going on?" Fang Jinyan asked. As she spoke, she walked to the raindrops and looked at it. She saw that there was nothing in the woods and Yuzhu didn't know where she went. Although she had been with Yuzhu for only a month, Fang Jinyan knew that Yuzhu was more steady and careful than Ziyuan. If it weren't for the fact that she was really suspicious, she wouldn't have flew out.
"Zi Yuan, go and have a look."
"But, we are not familiar with this place, so I can't keep you alone in the car."
"Are there any raindrops?"
Zi Yuan thought for a while, looked at the raindrops, and saw that the other party nodded to him, then jumped down and entered the woods in an instant.
"Xiaoyan, do you think it's the eldest lady?" Yun Duo saw Fang Jinyan's eyebrows slightly frowning and her lips were closed. She had already guessed when Liu Shi was not around before, but it was only a month. Could it be that the eldest lady could not wait?
"No matter who it is, we can't be careless." Fang Jinyan said, and at this time Jiuer ran over from not far away.
"Miss Four, is there something wrong? Mother Wang asked me to come and ask." Jiuer walked to Fufu's body in front of the car and said respectfully.
"It's okay, let's continue walking and go to the inn to wait for them." Fang Jinyan finished speaking, and without looking at Jiuer, she got into the car.
A hint of hatred flashed across Jiuer's eyes, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He turned around and walked around and thought that this fourth lady was really not easy to get close to her. No matter what she did, she just didn't let herself get close to her. Even if I went upstairs to support her, it was not my turn to do so. How smooth it was when I was in the eldest lady's room, why couldn't I eat this fourth lady? Humph, don't worry. Let's go and see, I can't do it. Fang Jinyan is just a piece of ice. Even if it is, I, Jiuer, can do everything possible to melt yours.
Yun Duo slowly drove the carriage and was about to enter the city, but Yuzhu and Ziyuan had not yet come out of the woods. The raindrops couldn't help but feel anxious. After a month, the four girls had gotten along very well, and it was getting late. She didn't want something to happen to them.
After finally reaching the station, the servant in front had already gone to inquire. Liu Shi was not here, so things didn't seem to go very smoothly.
Fang Jinyan got off the car and the slave who went to the post station ran over. After bowing and bowing, he said, "Miss, the official postmaster of the official post said that there are too many people in our house and there is no place for us to live in, so let us stay in the inn in the town."
Fang Jinyan looked at it and found that they rarely lived in inns along the way because their mother repeatedly told me that living in Guanyi was always safer, and that they had family signs. No official post dared to say that they would not be welcomed. Now, after all, they looked at this Guanyi, which was not very big. After all, it was set up in a small town, like a square fort with black flags in four corners.
Generally, the distance between such Guanyi Town is about ten miles, with four people in each department, which is very strict in management and military nature. Although the food is not as good as the inn, Fang Jinyan also knows that safety is the best now. Moreover, in today's situation, it seems that everything has been arranged by someone. Liu Shi can't find it, and Yuzhu and Ziyuan are as if they can be led away. Now Guanyi is not allowed to live. Could it be that he is forced to live in the inn?
When the raindrop saw Fang Jinyan silently, he waved his hand, and the servant stepped down.
Mother Wang said, "Miss, I'll go and have a look."
"Mom, let me go." Fang Jinyan said as she walked towards the door of the official office.
Mother Wang hurried forward and said, "How can this be made? The lady is a daughter, so there is no reason why the lady shows up in public? Let me go. Maybe the old slave will show her family card to the postmaster, so he dare not refuse."
Fang Jinyan thought about what Wang's mother said, after all, she is not Fang Jinyan from Zhaoxi Village now, but the emperor's attendant, and the third-rank Hanlin scholar Fang Zi's fourth lady from the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, her wealth is different. It's better not to let someone catch anything. Go back and let the eldest lady be a joke to make her mother look bad.
"Okay, go." After saying that, Yun Duo walked up and put a certain green gauze on Fang Jinyan's head. A thunder sounded from a distance. Fang Jinyan stood there, and through the veil she vaguely saw the pair of eyes staring at her in the dark two or three meters away hidden behind a group of servants and girls. Fang Jinyan smiled in her heart. The more you want to get closer, the less I will give you a chance to get closer. I don't believe you have any other tricks.
After a while, Mother Wang walked out with a smile. Behind him was a middle-aged man about thirties, about eight feet tall, with a burly face, dark skin, and his eyes were like a gong. His hair was not tied behind his head like an ordinary man, but was as messy as a steel wire. Although it was already winter moon, the man was bare-chested, without any coldness. He followed him like a black bear.
"Okay, okay, but Sun Yicheng said that there are still people living in the official post now. I'm afraid the room is really not enough. If it's really not possible, other people will make do with one night. We'll leave at dawn anyway. Miss, what do you think?"
The Yicheng, surnamed Sun, stepped forward and clasped his fists and leaned slightly, "Yicheng Sun Ying has met Miss Fang."
Fang Jinyan whispered: "Thank you, Lord Sun, for disturbing me." In fact, Yicheng was just a poor and unqualified young man. Fang Jinyan called this just to make the other party happy. After all, he had to disturb others this night, maybe... the disturbance was not ordinary!
Sun Yan was naturally very happy when he heard this. Before he had not seen Fang Jinyan, the family members of the third-rank official who came from the capital should be married or older. When he saw him, he was just a little girl who was only a big one. Although he couldn't see clearly, he felt that the woman was very beautiful just by listening to the sound. Thinking of this, Sun Yan quickly lowered his head and did not dare to be his thoughts.
After taking Fang Jinyan and the others into the room, people usually cook for this kind of official post, but now there was an epidemic in this place half a month ago, so there are only two people in this official post. In addition to Sun Ying, there is also a 60-year-old soldier, which is equivalent to doing odd jobs.
Sun Ying led Fang Jinyan to the second floor room and walked to a room on the west side. He opened the door and felt a very heavy smell of mold coming towards him.
Yun Duo covered his nose and couldn't help coughing twice. Now that Yuzhu and Ziyuan were not around, Wang's mother transferred a girl named Qing'er in the third wife's room to serve Fang Jinyan. Qing'er's personality was obviously a fierce master and could not stay calm. Fang Jinyan had not spoken yet. Relying on her master, she was a fourth-rank lady, and Sun Huang was just an unqualified official secretary, she said impatiently: "How can this room be occupied? You, the official secretary, are you, there is nothing in the east? It doesn't matter if we sleep in the stable and pigpen. Do you not even have a room in Xiangyang? We have a wet room in such a humid room. If we get sick, I can't afford it."
Fang Jinyan smiled in her heart. Why didn’t this little girl notice that her mouth was so powerful?
Sun Ying was a little speechless, her face was already dark, but now she was so suffocated by Qing'er that she couldn't speak. Her face turned black and red like a ripe red plum.
"Miss Fang, don't blame me. The house in the east was already occupied by several guests from the north a few days ago." Sun Ying said.
Fang Jinyan held back her laughter when she saw Sun Xian who was half a body taller than her. In fact, she lived in Zhaoxi Village before, and she had always been not picky about these things. As long as she could shelter from the wind and rain, she was not discussing whether the house was good or not. She needed to settle down quickly and send someone to find Liu Shi and her two personal maids.
"Okay, since the house on the east side is gone, forget it. Can Lord Sun have something to keep warm here?"
"Yes, some, the officials immediately fetched Ms. Fang's brazier and charcoal fire, but you also saw that now you are the only ones who cook in our place." Sun Ying did not expect that Ms. Fang was so easy to talk to, so she said the following words without hesitation.
"You..." Qing'er was about to get angry again, but Fang Jinyan gently blocked her hand and said, "Okay, Lord Sun, let's do it yourself. Let's disturb you if you have something to do." After that, he entered the room.
After entering the room, Qing'er quickly asked a few servants to clean the room next door, and then asked the two girls to spread the bed. She couldn't wait for Sun Yan to take up the things she needed. She also asked the two girls to go downstairs to get what they needed. However, in just one cup of tea, not only did the incense be lit in the room, but the charcoal fire had already ignited in the brazier, and even the washing water was already hot and the tea had been soaked.
"I can't tell you, a girl, is quite quick!" Fang Jinyan asked her mother Wang to ask someone to secretly find Liu Shi while Qing'er was busy with work, and then asked Sun Ying to take her several of her slaves to the forest to find Yuzhu and Ziyuan. As the sky was getting dark, she had to worry a little more.
Seeing Fang Jinyan coming out of the guest room, Qing'er quickly placed a chair next to the fire pit and placed a cushion to sit down carefully. After holding Fang Jinyan, she took a white jade cup and said with a smile: "It's windy and raining all the way. The lady must be sleepy and tired, so I decided to use roses, wolfberry, coix seed and brown sugar for you. Please drink it first. Do you think it's good to drink?" Then she handed the cup to Fang Jinyan.
"Miss has always been disliked by sweetness. If you don't ask me, do you really think that I will be the close servant girl next to me from now on?" The mother Wang next to me was a little unhappy. She thought that there were not many girls coming to the third wife's room. Seeing that Qing'er was smart on weekdays, she temporarily replaced Ziyuan and Yuzhu. Who would have thought that this little hoof would actually...
