Hope for luck

Chapter 83
On an official road to the east near Dantang County, there happened to be two rather luxurious carriages driving at this time, and they seemed to be heading towards Dantang County.

Unlike ordinary carriages, the materials and appearance of these two carriages are extremely particular. It looks like they are refined, and most people can't afford to sit in such carriages.

Moreover, the width and length are both longer and more spacious than ordinary carriages, like a mobile attic. The doors and windows are all made of pear blossom wood, which looks very luxurious.

Sitting in the carriage at the front was a young young man, his face was red, his lips were white, he was wearing a white satin shirt, he was playing with a piece of jade in his hand, he looked like a rich young master.

However, with the cynical look on his face, it can be seen that this person is not an upright son.

From time to time, he picked up the melon and fruit snacks prepared in the carriage and ate a piece, and looked at the scenery outside the car window, looking bored, he was the only one in the car, and there was no one to talk to.

There are more people sitting in the carriage behind, three women.

Sitting in the middle is a middle-aged woman, with a graceful and luxurious appearance, like a wife from a rich family. She is sitting upright at the moment, with a trace of irritability and worry in her eyes.

Beside this woman is a [-]-year-old girl, wearing a pink dress with butterfly patterns and flowers, with a refined and beautiful face, her hands are holding the middle-aged woman, she looks very intimate, but judging by her demeanor She looks like a lady from a great family, a lady from a famous family.

There is also a girl dressed as a maid, leaning against the car door, away from this woman and the lady in pink.

Although this servant girl is dressed in plain clothes, she is not as gorgeous as the girl in pink, but her delicate appearance still makes her have the temperament of a lady in pink, like Xiaojiabiyu, which is lovable.

"Mother, don't worry any more. When we arrive in Jeju, I'll persuade my brother again. Let's take a boat and go up the canal. In just a few days, we will reach the capital!"

At this time, I suddenly heard the lady in pink say softly, the voice was very pleasant, like Ying's cry, refreshing.

But these words, hearing this middle-aged woman's ears, did not reassure her, but said very worriedly:

"I have said long ago that you will take the water route from Linjiang City, but your brother has a bad temper, so he must take the land route, and even went to the Central Plains for a while. It is already October now, and we just arrived at Dongshan. During the Chinese New Year, Can we get to your aunt's house?"

After hearing this, Miss Fenyi pursed her red lips and said with a smile:
"Don't you know my brother's temper? He did it on purpose. When the Chinese New Year comes, uncle and aunt won't be able to scold him, so he escaped this disaster. Just follow him and let's treat him as a Have fun on the road!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman patted Miss Fenyi who was holding her catkin, and sighed softly:

"If he can be half as smart and stable as you, mother doesn't have to worry so much. Since your father passed away, our Shen family has lost its backbone. It turns out that the traffic in front of our house has disappeared. In addition, since your brother When I was young, I pampered him a lot, and the older I got, the more I couldn't control him..."

After hearing what the middle-aged woman said, I realized that the young man who came up immediately ahead was the son of the middle-aged woman and also the elder brother of the young lady in pink.

"Mother, you have worked hard these years. Let's go to my aunt's house this time. Under my uncle's nose, my brother's temper will definitely be restrained. In addition, it is time for him to marry a wife. At that time, mother will find him a wife." When the virtuous sister-in-law comes back, my brother won't escape like this!"

Miss Fen Yi said close to the middle-aged woman's face, the feeling of licking the calf was particularly prominent.

And the delicate maid on the side just lowered her head, not daring to look at the two of them, she looked timid, as if she wasn't the maid of this family?
"Oh, it's fine if you suffer a bit, but it's a pity that the Shen family's family business is going to be ruined. If you hadn't been in the middle of these years to help with the recuperation, we might lose our reputation as an imperial merchant. My son, For your old brother, I let you suffer, otherwise, why should we travel thousands of miles to join your uncle's family?"

The middle-aged woman stroked Miss Fenyi's soft and smooth face, and said guiltily.

After Miss Fen Yi heard this, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated. Rou Ning grabbed the middle-aged woman's plain hand, squeezed it tightly, and said easily:

"Mother, it's okay. As long as the name of the imperial merchant is preserved, the Shen family's family business will not be broken. When the elder brother marries his sister-in-law and loses his temper, the Shen family will definitely regain its prosperity. At that time, the mother will rest assured. Just spend your days in the backyard!"

These words finally caused the middle-aged woman to throw away the worry on her face and change it into a slight smile:
"If it is true as you said, then it is truly blessed by the Bodhisattva and the ancestors!"

As soon as the words were finished, the delicate maidservant at the side suddenly said:
"Ma'am, Miss, when I was in Fuyang, I heard someone say that there are bandits infesting the neighborhood!"

After saying this, the middle-aged woman and the lady in pink looked at her in horror, and the smile that the middle-aged woman couldn't bear to appear just disappeared in an instant, and she spoke first:

"Why didn't you say it earlier? We've been gone for so long, you just said it? Did you want to kill us? Well, you, my son bought you back because of you, even at the expense of fighting with others. Now, is this how you repay?"

These words are very serious, and seeing the middle-aged woman looking at her resentfully, the delicate servant girl was even more terrified and didn't know how to answer the words, and said intermittently:
"Slave... Numai no, no, just... just..."

"Just what? Why don't you say it quickly? If you can't, I'll have someone beat you to death right away, you evil vixen, and throw it out to feed the wild wolves!"

The more the middle-aged woman thought about it, the angrier she became, and she raised her breath and accused heavily.

This delicate servant girl trembled all over, her face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.

And the boy in white at the front seemed to have heard the reprimand of the middle-aged woman, so he quickly stopped the carriage and came to a carriage behind.

"Mother, calm down...Luoying, tell me, where did you hear it? And why did you bring it up now?"

The lady in pink at the side hurriedly stroked the middle-aged woman's chest, then frowned and asked this delicate maid named Luo Ying softly.

At this moment, the door of the carriage was opened. It was the boy in white in the front carriage. Hearing the movement, he rushed over to check the situation.

"Mother, sister, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

The young master asked repeatedly, only seeing his mother and younger sister in his eyes, he didn't even glance at the handsome maid beside him, it could be seen that he was quite filial.

"She just said that there are bandits around here, but we have already arrived here. Didn't she deliberately want to harm our mother three? It's all because of you, for such a vicious person, that your sister and I have to suffer from this chariot Not to mention the suffering, but also suffer from bandits!"

The middle-aged woman pointed at Luoying and reprimanded him, making the boy in white look embarrassed and guilty.
