After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 61: A Ride
When he came, Zhu Canyi brought several carriages filled with various gifts, and was escorted by dozens of slaves and bodyguards.
Today, there are only a few loyal servants.
A male servant in a blue cotton-padded jacket was driving the cart, and on the shaft sat a little maid in men's clothes, wearing a windproof hat with the cloth curtains on both sides tied at her chin.
She was not afraid of being recognized as a woman dressed as a man, exposing her glaring ear piercings.
At noon, the carriage arrived at a tea stall on the side of the road for rest.
The little maid dressed in men's clothing jumped out of the carriage, bought some food, and walked back to the carriage with it.
The curtain was opened, revealing a white and tender little hand, which waved at her and said, "Come up."
The little maid put the food on the carriage and turned to leave. An old maid jumped out of the carriage, took her hand and said, "Eat in the carriage."
She then reluctantly got into the car.
This carriage, which looks inconspicuous on the outside, actually has a lot of secrets inside.
The desk and tea tray fixed in the middle and the wide couch at the back are all made of high-quality soft satin fabric, which is soft and comfortable.
As soon as the little maid got on the car, the old nanny immediately changed her attitude and advised her distressedly: "My little ancestor, you should stay in the car. It's windy and dusty outside, and the little girl's skin can't stand such a waste."
"I finally have my freedom, Mammy, will you just obey me?"
The little maid, no, Zhu Canyi pulled the old nanny's hand and acted coquettishly, her pair of black eyes shining like stars.
Her facial features could only be considered delicate among noble ladies, but because of this pair of eyes, they were particularly vivid and lively.
"My good master, you better be careful."
Zhu Canyi's maid Qiu Ye is even more beautiful than her. She wears her clothes and jewelry to dress up as a young lady, looking exactly like a rich girl in the boudoir.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhu Canyi quickly filled his stomach with this simple meal and said, "We will arrive in Jingyang County in more than an hour, so don't let anyone show off."
After a short rest at a tea stall, the carriage continued on its way.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped.
The wheel of a carriage in front was broken, and it fell to the side of the road, taking up most of the road. Their carriage could not pass. Several people were standing next to it, surrounding a lady wearing a veil.
This road is the main road leading to Jingyang.
As soon as their two carriages stopped, several more carriages blocked the road in front and behind them in a short while.
Zhu Canyi jumped down from the shaft of the cart, walked up to the lady, saluted, and asked, "Excuse me, madam, do you need any help?"
Qin Yaoguang looked at the eldest daughter of the Zhu family through the veil, and admiration rose in her heart.
In the original book, she was deeply impressed by the fact that this person led the Zhu family away from the turbulent court struggle later.
When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.
It was worth it that she waited for her here.
The legitimate daughter of the Zhu family actually disguised herself as a maid dressed as a man, doing things that only subordinates should do, and yet she managed to keep people who didn't know the inside story from noticing anything. She was really amazing.
Looking at her natural movements, I wonder if she has done similar things countless times.
Qin Yaoguang didn't say anything, so Aunt Deng spoke for her, "Our lady went to visit relatives in Jingyang, but unexpectedly the carriage broke down. Young man, I wonder if your master would be able to take our lady with him? As long as we can get into the county town, we will go."
Zhu Canyi was a little hesitant.
She went to Jingyang for another purpose, and there was another person in the car, so there might be unexpected changes.
While she was hesitating, Qin Yaoguang said, "Please tell your master that he will reward you when he arrives in Jingyang."
Madam Deng added with great tact, "My wife's husband's family is the Ge family, who run a silk and satin shop in Beijing. I hope you can talk to your master and make it convenient for him."
The so-called Ge family was just the name of the silk shop owner under Qin Yaoguang's name. The Zhu family's roots were in Jiangnan, and they were not familiar with the capital. Besides, Zhu Canyi and the others had already left, so they were just trying to trick her so that she couldn't verify it.
After they said that, it would seem too strange if Zhu Canyi refused to pass on the news.
When you are away from home, the other party is willing to pay and tell you everything about his family situation.
Zhu Canyi turned and walked towards the carriage, but he had a plan in mind.
In just a short while, a few more carriages were jammed in front and behind, and pedestrians were moving more and more slowly.
When they arrived at the carriage, Zhu Canyi stood under it, said a few words to the person who lifted the curtain inside, and then walked towards Qin Yaoguang.
"Madam, my master said that the space in the car is narrow and only you can get in." Zhu Canyi said.
"It would be great if you could give my wife a ride." Aunt Deng smiled brightly and said to Qin Yaoguang, "Madam, please go ahead."
Qin Yaoguang took her hand and walked towards the Zhu family carriage, then turned around and ordered: "Lift the carriage first, don't block the road, and come as soon as it is repaired."
After getting on the carriage, the old maid said, "My daughter is unfamiliar. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Without announcing his name, Qiu Ye, with a veil on his face, bowed slightly as a greeting, and obviously had no intention of saying anything more.
Qin Yaoguang greeted him and closed his eyes to rest.
Since the real Zhu Canyi was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, there was no point in her trying to establish friendship with this fake daughter. It would be better for her to wait and see when the situation permits in Jingyang.
The reason she left Beijing was to meet Yan Changqing through Zhu Can.
In the original story, Zhu Canyi is Yan Changqing's man.
She did not want to be a girl from a noble family like Queen Xie, and was unwilling to be a pawn in the hands of Prince Ruyang, so she cooperated with Yan Changqing.
In the farce in the mansion of Duke Anguo, the golden peacock hairpin that Jiang Guan was holding belonged to Zhu Canyi. It was also she who drugged Jiang Guan and led him step by step to the warm room where the wife of Duke Anguo received guests.
She can achieve her goal without showing up.
Afterwards, no one would have thought that she, who was clearly the victim, was actually the mastermind behind the incident.
The plan was able to be successfully implemented because it was Yan Changqing who came up with the idea for her. It was also because of him that he mobilized the secret agents planted in the Anguo Mansion and cooperated with Zhu Canyi's actions to help her escape from the capital.
As for reputation?
Zhu Canyi didn't care.
Her interest has never been to marry into a family of equal status and become the mistress of the house. Such a life is too boring!
The Zhu family's carriage drove into Jingyang and stopped at the inn that had been booked in advance.
Qin Yaoguang got off the carriage, took out half a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to Zhu Canyi, saying with a smile: "I'm sorry for bothering you along the way. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"You're welcome, ma'am." Zhu Canyi took it and asked politely, "Where are you going? Is it convenient?"
Qin Yaoguang showed an embarrassment on her face and said, "It's not appropriate for me, a woman, to show my face in public. I'll just wait here for my family to come."
"That's fine too."
Zhu Canyi nodded, turned and walked away.
It was still early in the morning. Qin Yaoguang, wearing a veil hat, walked to an empty table by the window, sat down, and ordered a bowl of beef soup.
Before long, the waiter brought a bowl of steaming beef soup to the table.
Through the rising mist of the hot soup, she saw Yan Changqing, her consort, her husband, the Duke of the State, and the Great General of the Nation.
