Yan Li Yaotao

Chapter 164 has arrived

Li Xiaoyao closed her eyes and fell asleep for two or three hours and opened her eyes cleverly. She was sore and speechless, and her legs were hot. But in her dream, she lay in the extremely beautiful and cold sea again.

Li Xiaoyao woke up and cheered in and drilled out. His bones seemed to be soaked in vinegar, and his skin and meat were soaked in chili water. Li Xiaoyao reluctantly raised his hand, looked at the red and swollen palms with faintly oozing blood, and gently took a breath. He was really amazing! Li Xiaoyao slowly turned his head and looked at Danyue and Begonia, who kept moaning in their sleep, and sighed. It was not easy to be himself, and it was not easy to be his own girl. In the past five days, the two girl gritted their teeth and survived.

I'm afraid that this hand and legs are not good. Li Xiaoyao lies on the kang on her back and feels the pain on her body everywhere, but her mind is extremely clear. This trip to Taiping Mansion is by no means peaceful. If Wu Guifei and the eldest prince are not idle people as Su Zicheng said, then she just walks on the tip of the knife and is a little careless. She You have to stay in the Taiping Mansion forever. When you enter Wudi, you must be cautious. Li Xiaoyao looked at the rough fir beam and thought for a long time. He turned over with difficulty, gritted his teeth and sat up, took his clothes and slowly put them on. He held the edge of the kang out of the inner room, sat on the outer chair, trembled his hands and poured a glass of water to drink it, put it back in the cup, and thought for a long time. He shouted in a hoarse voice, and the curtain lifted the door curtain. Xi'an came in neatly and bowed for half. Looking at Li Xiaoyao waiting for her instructions, Li Xiaoyao looked at him and asked, "Where is Changming?"

"The letter was sent three hours ago, and it has passed Zheng Cheng."

"When can I enter Taiping Mansion?"

"The letter said that Wudi was ready to stop day and night. In this way, it will take 14 or five days to enter Taiping Mansion."

Li Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, and then asked, "If we take a bus day and night, how long will it take to get to Taiping Mansion?"

"The girl has been very tired these days and can't rush too tightly. When she enters Wudi, she has to slow down in the first few days. When the girl rests, she can hurry up. In this way, it will take 20 days." Xi'an answered very in detail. Li Xiaoyao lowered his eyes and said nothing. Xi'an was right. Those wooden wheels ran on the uneven dirt road. The bumps were really life-threatening. Forget it. She entered Taiping Mansion 20 days, only four or five days later than Changming, which was almost enough.

"Tell Nanning that the thicker the mattress in the car, the better. Both cars are. What time is it now? Let someone prepare a medicinal bath and leave when it's ready. Li Xiaoyao then ordered that Xi'an agreed and took a few steps back. Li Xiaoyao wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were so painful that he had nowhere to focus. After trying twice, he held the table to stand up, moved to the door of the inner room, and held the door frame to keep in. He only raised his voice and woke up Danyue and Haitang and ordered, "Get up, soak in the medicine bath and took the medicine. After dinner, get in the car and go to bed."

Danyue and Begonia gritted their teeth. The three of them soaked in the three large bath buckets in the back room for half an hour and changed their clothes. Nanning had already brought the food prepared. Xi'an took three small bowls of soup and medicine in. Li Xiaoyao took a bowl, drank it with his eyes closed, rinsed his mouth, and ate more than half a bowl of rice tasteless.

Nanning looked at the three with pity. The first time he marched in such a hurry, he almost lost half his life. It was really impressive that the three delicate girls could survive all the way. Looking at Li Xiaoyao's meal, Nanning smiled and reported: "What the girl said is ready for the funeral. In fact, it's nothing. Now I bought a few clothes and a few mourning sticks. Why don't we change them when we get to Wudi? It's not appropriate to change it now."

"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao nodded and agreed to ask, "Two years ago, I went to Taiping Mansion to get married. Who appeared in this group at that time?"

"I haven't seen it." Nanning simply replied with a smile, "That trip was protected by Changming. Dongping and Beiqing waited with him. Xi'an and I were still lying in Liang..." Nanning vaguely said a few words and then said, "Girl, don't worry. None of them have followed me into Taiping Mansion last time."

"Well, that's good. When you enter Wudi, if anyone asks, just say that we are with the county people who go home for mourning. The people who go all the way home are unuspicious. Ordinary people have to avoid it when they see it. This is the best. There are too many guards. You can take a long-term look and don't follow them together."

"Don't worry, the girl has been arranged in the long run. A total of four groups have been divided into two groups, two before and after. In the long run, Xi'an and I will take a few old guards to accompany us." Nanning replied with a smile, and Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't have to worry about what happened on the road.

Lying on the car, although it was bumpy, although it was still on the road day and night, compared with riding on a horse, it was the difference between the abysss. After walking for seven or eight days, the three of them rested, walked for a few more days, and then entered the county. In the evening, the car passed by the gate of the county. Li Xiaoyao raised the curtain and looked at the distance. The county gate, thinking about the situation of five brothers and sisters who fled here in panic two years ago, suddenly appeared as yesterday.

At night, the group avoided the smoke. Near dawn, they looked for a small forest and avoided the white cloth on the car. Li Xiaoyao changed into a plain silk jacket and a embroidered plum skirt bought in Zhengcheng. Danyue and Begonia changed into the plain dress often worn by Wudi maidservants. In the long run, they changed into indigo coarse cloth jackets with Nanning, Xi'an and others. , the group pretended to be the master and servant of the rich and noble family who entered the Taiping Mansion, slowed down the journey and rushed to the Taiping Mansion without any time.

The group rushed to the north gate of Taiping Mansion. It was already Shen Zheng's time. Taiping Mansion was bustling as usual. Although it was late, it was still bustling. Li Xiaoyao raised the curtain and looked out carefully with a solemn face.

At the gate, Brother Zhao was dressed in a dark green silk robe, wearing a black silk cotton cloak, and was stretching his neck and looking back and forth. Li Xiaoyao saw him at a glance, hurriedly knocked on the carriage board, and told Nanning through the seam of the curtain: "The man in the dark green robe and black cloak in front is Brother Zhao." Nanning answered in a low voice, watched Brother Zhao rush to take a few steps to greet him, and raised his hand to greet him: "Brother Five! Here! It's me! I saw you from afar!"

Brother Zhao looked at Nanning quickly and trotted over with a smile on his face. He answered, "You boy! I grew taller and almost couldn't recognize it! Is the girl in better body? Thank you for your hard work on the way.

"Alas! Good what! All right, come back to Taiping Mansion? Don't mention it. It's sad to mention this. It's really not easy to walk all the way. The two of them gossiped affectionately and went to the car together. Everyone came over and talked loudly as if they had been reunited after a long separation. Nanning looked around and introduced in a low voice: "Girl's surname is Mu, Xingwu, fifth brother called me. Xiaoning is fine. This is Brother Chang. This is Xiao An. We all have the same surname. Brother Zhao quietly recognized the crowd. Li Xiaoyao asked in a low voice through the crack of the curtain, "Is it all arranged?"

"Yes, according to the instructions of the fifth girl, it's all right." Brother Zhao bowed deeply to the car and replied respectfully,

"Well, go to the city. Let's go in and talk about it." Li Xiaoyao ordered in a low voice, and Zhao Wuge agreed and led the car to a three-entry house not far from Jiangnanfang.

The house was hidden in a quiet and remote alley. When he entered the alley, Zhao Wuge said through the curtain of the car, "I picked up the fifth master..."

"I'm going to call you a girl." Nanning corrected in a low voice with a smile. Brother Zhao nodded and thanked quickly, and then said, "After receiving the girl's letter, Uncle Sun and I have been looking at the house everywhere since Jiangnan Square. In the past two years, there have been few empty houses in Taiping Mansion. I finally found this place, which is suitable everywhere, that is, the house is older. The girl will rest first. If you are really not used to living, then look for it. Go somewhere else."

"Well, did you buy it or rent it?"

"I bought it, but I don't want to rent it. The house I'm willing to rent is not suitable. It cost a thousand yuan."

"Is it all drawn from the daily running water of Jiangnanfang? How much cash is left on the cabinet now? Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked, and Brother Zhao Wu quickly replied in a low voice, "No, Uncle Sun said that there was still a lot of money brought by the girl last time, but he didn't use the running water on the cabinet." Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. While talking, the car arrived at the door of the house. Zhao Wuge hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, turned around and handed the key to Nanning. He bent down to remove the threshold and watched the two cars come in before installing the threshold with a guard.

Li Xiaoyao got off the car in the second door, turned his head and looked around. This is an ordinary courtyard that can't be ordinary. As soon as he enters the door, there is a snow-white shadow wall. The front is painted with Wufuying Gate, and the back is painted with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemums. On the shadow wall, there is a pomegranate tree planted while planting a wisteria. A few steps is the hanging flower door, passing through the drooping door. Huamen, there are two wing rooms on each side, and two main rooms on both sides of the middle of the hall. This is a private house. There is no corridor, but the wing room and the main room are connected by eaves. Through the hall is the main courtyard. There are three main rooms facing the main room, and there are still two rooms on the left and right. A small moon door next to the main house leads to the kitchen behind, etc. Everywhere, these two yards are extremely small, and the ground is covered with bluestone with various auspicious patterns such as blessing and longevity. There is a small rockery in front of the main courtyard on the left. The mountain is full of dark green moss, and a somewhat withered vine climbs up and down from behind the rockery. Except for some, there is nothing else in the yard. Li Xiaoyao stepped on the moon door and looked back. There are six rooms in a row that are much lower than the main room in front of them. The three rooms on the left are opened, built with pots and stoves, and several rooms on the right are thought to be used as residences.

Long-term, Nanning and others lived in the front yard. Li Xiaoyao entered the main room with Danyue and Begonia. The room was full of brand-new elm furniture, and the curtains were also clean and complete. Danyue and Haitang were busy looking for stoves, teapots, tea cups, tea leaves, etc. to heat up and make tea. Li Xiaoyao slowly sat to the south. On the couch under the window, I opened the window and looked at the narrow yard outside. Suddenly, I was full of peace and satisfaction. I just wanted to drink tea lazily in such a yard, let the time slip slowly and die.
