Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 486: A pleasant journey

 In the early morning of the next day, Pingyang had just finished packing, when the maid in the post house knocked on the door and brought breakfast.

Yuzhu opened the door, and a maid came in with a food box. When she saw Pingyang, she greeted Pingyang with a smile and said, "Madam is well. Mr. Pei has repeatedly told me that Madam is a delicate person and is very particular about her diet. I have a good day today." Before dawn, we started preparing breakfast for Madam alone."

As she said that, she pointed to the white rice porridge on the table and said in a flattering way: "Look, this porridge is made by me using newly slaughtered old hens over low heat. It is appetizing and nourishing. And this red date cake is also made by me." I chose polished rice and good red dates to make it, I just hope that my wife can eat it smoothly."

Jingganguanyu was full of dignitaries. Pingyang knew in his heart that the reason why this woman could serve her so diligently was because she had received a lot of money from Pei Yunqian.

Pingyang smiled at the old woman and replied: "Thank you, grandma." As she said that, she winked at Yuzhu. Yuzhu stepped forward and put a silver ingot into the old woman's hand. The old woman pretended to After some refusal, he finally put it in his sleeve pocket with a smile.

She looked at Pingyang, with a bigger smile on her face: "There are many freshly made snacks in the kitchen. Madam, would you like to take some with you for the road?"

"Okay, let's just wrap some up." After saying that, Pingyang asked the old lady again: "Has Mr. Pei sent you breakfast?"

The mother-in-law smiled and replied: "Pei Guanren got up at dawn. He had breakfast in the lobby below, and is now watching the children setting up cars and carrying luggage outside."

 Having breakfast in Pingyang, Yuzhu took the package and the master and servant left the house.

The carriages and horses were all ready, and Pei Yunqian was standing in the yard. When he saw Pingyang coming out, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Is everything packed?"

Pingyang nodded and replied: "I heard that you get up and work before dawn. Just let the boys take care of such small things."

“I’m used to getting up early and keeping an eye on things when there’s nothing else to do. It’s better to be more cautious when going out,” Pei Yunqian said, stepping forward to take the package from Yuzhu’s hand and put it on the carriage.

When Pei Yunqian came to Beijing, he was just a man, a horse, and two followers. Now that he brought her, a female dependent, with him when he went back, he actually caused a lot of trouble for him. Pingyang felt very sorry, and she said to Pei Yunqian: "This is my trip. Following you out will really cause you trouble."

Pei Yunqian was stunned for a moment after hearing Pingyang's words, and then smiled helplessly: "Marrying as a woman is really different. You have never been so polite to me before."

Pingyang couldn't help but laugh and joked: "I used to be very coquettish and rude, and I left you with a bad impression."

Pei Yunqian smiled and did not answer. He only extended his hand to help Pingyang get into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Sit down, distinguished little princess!"

The world is changing, and even Pingyang herself has long forgotten her past appearance, but in front of Pei Yunqian, a generous brother, she can always find some shadow of her former days as a prince and princess.

Pingyang sat firmly. She looked through the car window and said to Pei Yunqian who was getting out of the car: "The next city, Lucheng, is only half a day's journey away. We came out early today, so why not hurry up and simply cross Lucheng and go straight to the road ahead? Fancheng.”

Pei Yunqian glanced at Pingyang and said with a smile: "When I asked you to go home, you still refused to obey. Why? Now you are so anxious?"

Pingyang sighed slightly and replied: "I don't know why, although I miss not going home for so many years, I can bear it. Now that I am on my way home, my heart is like an arrow. I wish I could put on my wings and fly right away." go back."

Pei Yunqian smiled and replied: "It's cloudy today, I'm afraid it's going to rain in the second half of the day. If the rain is not heavy, we will rush to Fancheng to stay overnight. If the rain is heavy, we can only rest in Lucheng." Pingyang heard this, she I looked up at the sky through the car window and said to myself: "I just hope that God will not rain today, and ask all the gods to bless me to have a smooth journey and reach Yizhou as soon as possible."

The sky was gloomy, Pei Yunqian glanced at the childish Pingyang, but his face was sunny.

Accompanied by the driver's shouts, the carriages and horses drove along. The group of people left the post house and continued on their way.

The group of people walked until noon, and a light rain began to fall in the gloomy sky. Pingyang's heart suddenly became gloomy. Gradually, the sound of rain outside became louder and louder, and raindrops pattered on the roof of the car. , which makes people upset.

Pingyang opened the car window and complained to Pei Yunqian, who was riding a horse to protect him beside the car: "It's raining so hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Fancheng today."

Pingyang has a fair face, and against the backdrop of such a rainy day, her face looking out of the window looks even more delicate.

Pei Yunqian was riding on the horse. He turned his head to look at Pingyang and comforted her gently: "It's not safe to rush on a rainy day. Don't worry. Let's spend the night in Lucheng today. If the rain stops tomorrow morning, we can start early."

Autumn rain came with the wind. Although Pei Yunqian was wearing a raincoat, his face was wet from the wind and rain. Pingyang couldn't bear to see him in the rain and hesitated: "This rain is too heavy. Cousin, please get in the car."

Yuzhu, who was also in the car, also echoed the advice: "The car is so spacious, please come in and take shelter from the rain."

Pei Yunqian looked at Pingyang's master and servant, and said with a smile: "I am a grown man, this rain is nothing. Just stay in the car and you will be in Lucheng in another hour." With that, Pei Yunqian raised his hand and closed the door. He opened the car window and said: "Don't open the window, be careful of rainwater blowing into the car. If you get exposed to the rain, you may get sick."

Pingyang then sat down again, and Yuzhu handed her a cup of tea. Pingyang took it and took a few sips. She finally felt at ease. She leaned on the chariot wall and murmured: "Since God doesn't like it, I'm not in a hurry."

Pingyang's mood was no longer as urgent as before. After she relaxed, she leaned against the car wall and fell asleep.

Pingyang didn't open his eyes until Yuzhu called him when he arrived at Lucheng Posthouse.

Yuzhu opened the car door. Pei Yunqian stood under the car holding a big umbrella and told Yuzhu: "It's raining and the wind is cold. Please put a cloak on the princess."

With this reminder from Pei Yunqian, Yuzhu realized her carelessness. She quickly took out the cloak from the package and put it on Pingyang, and then helped Pingyang get out of the car.

Pingyang was sleeping hazily. When Yuzhu helped him get out of the car, his feet went weak and he almost fell. Fortunately, Pei Yunqian caught him steadily.

The rain was heavy, and Pei Yunqian looked at the water on the ground that had disappeared from his feet. He simply carried Pingyang on his back, Yuzhu held a big umbrella, and the two of them escorted Pingyang to the post house.

It’s the end of the month. Dear friends who have monthly tickets, please support me! Thank you!
