270,Station
After sleeping until midnight, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in my ears. Xu Shu woke up alertly, but she didn't expect that Gao Zhinan suddenly apologized, "I'm getting up at night and clamoring for you!"
Xu Shu shook her head, and she was gone with her sleepiness, so she simply put on her clothes and sat up, "What's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
"I can't hide it from you!" Gao Zhinan sighed with a wry smile, "I just had a nightmare... I dreamed that my mother happily brought a son from the clan. She raised the son but was unfair and unfilial. She scolded her mother at home every day. Somehow I went back. My mother shouted "Save me", then rushed towards me, and I woke up..."
I have thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night. Before going to bed, Gao Zhinan's thoughts that flashed through the Gao family remained persistently in her dream.
"When I was a child, the wet nurse told me that dreams were against each other. You were too worried about Aunt Gao to have such dreams. In fact, Aunt Gao is fine!"
"Maybe!" Gao Zhinan let out a leisurely breath. She also knew that this was just a dream, but after waking up for so long, she still couldn't get rid of the soreness in the dream. It was real and accurate. Gao Zhinan couldn't help but touch her heart, and she still felt sour and painful.
"Go to sleep!" Gao Zhinan took the initiative to remove Xu Shu's coat and covered her with a quilt, but he was not sleepy at all.
The long night was long, and Xu Shu sighed silently as she listened to Gao Zhinan's breathing and slow breathing. Gao Zhinan had just set off on the road of family affection, and she had reached the end. Gao Zhinan's road in the future is still long!
This night was probably because there were singing girls to accompany them and they were all peaceful all night. At the second day, the county magistrate even gave these singing girls to the marriage delegation, but it was not given to Anatu's firm refusal.
The marriage team gradually became farther and farther away from the capital, and the Chang'an Princess was also becoming more and more impetuous, which was reflected in the slower progress and the more picky attitude towards everything. She was always angry at the people around her. Mrs. Ding ate twice, and the perfect and decent expression on her face finally had a crack.
In this way, I set up camp and rested for a night on the way. After two days, I finally arrived at the Luochuan Station, which is more than 200 miles away from Kyoto, to replenish supplies, change post horses and repair equipment.
The Chang'an Princess quickly rushed to send a letter to the post station and prepared some maids for selection. When everyone arrived at the post station, Renyazi had been waiting with a series of young girls for a long time.
After being greeted by everyone at the post station, the Princess Chang'an excitedly ordered the postmaster to bring in a row of maids, which was quite intended to choose people for Miss Xiao San himself.
Most of the girls who were forced to sell themselves out of poor families, and they didn't know where they would go. The fear in their hearts eroded their thoughts. They were told to go to see the princess, and the chosen ones would go to Rouran to marry each other. The fear of staying away from their hometown made them all shake together, and even the dentist who led them here was not as smart as before.
Princess Chang'an smiled and said to Miss Xiao San, "It's the person you want to use, you can choose it yourself!"
"Thank you Princess!" Miss Xiao San gave a little salute and turned to the maids, "Misses are still waiting, and it is not easy to delay their time. Let's just keep it simple! They all raised their hands, looked up, and looked forward with their eyes!"
The maids did as they did. Miss Xiao San glanced around and clicked out, "You're the one!"
So fast? The Chang'an Princess was very surprised, "You don't pick carefully anymore? Is this too..."
Too hasty...
"It's her!" Miss Xiao San seemed very satisfied with the candidate she picked. "I felt destined to be with her at first glance!"
"Just like it!" Princess Chang'an no longer insisted, "Okay, let's go down the rest! You can rest as well!"
The station had already cleared all the idle people out due to the arrival of Princess Chang'an. The rooms were very sufficient, and everyone had their own room. Gao Zhinan said with great regret, "I actually want to live with you!"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "You can also live in the same room with me. I will let Wanfeng accompany Caixia to live in your room!"
"It's rare that I can sleep in a bed alone, so don't squeeze with you!" Gao Zhinan smiled and pushed open the door of his room and entered the room first.
Xu Shu then walked forward to find her room. When she was pushing the door, Miss Xiao San passed by her back and said with a smile, "So you live next to me!"
Xu Shu replied with a smile, "If you make a fuss about Miss Xiao San at night, please bear with me more!"
"I'm afraid it's even more quarrel than you!" Miss Xiao San pointed to the new maid, "I have to teach her some rules tonight!"
"It's okay!" After Xu Shu said that, she nodded at Miss Xiao San again and entered the house.
As expected, Miss Xiao San began to teach the maid's rules next door, from the simplest words and deeds to daily behaviors, everything was covered. After hearing this, Xu Shu felt it was quite interesting, so she asked Wanfeng, "Do you also need to learn these when you first entered the palace?"
Wan Feng nodded, "The nanny in the palace is not as gentle as Miss Xiao San. If we do something wrong, we will be beaten with a ruler! After following the lady to the Xu family, Madam Wu also taught me the family rules of the Xu family!"
Xu family! She had only been away from Beijing for a few days, and she almost forgot the Xu family. If she hadn't mentioned it again, she would have really forgotten...
Xu Shu sighed slightly, "Let's take a shower!"
Wan Shu nodded, served Xu Shu to take a shower, change her clothes, loosen her bun, and was about to lie down, Xu Shu suddenly stopped and sniffed hard, "Wang Feng, has the candle burned?"
Wanfeng looked at the candlestick and shook his head, "There are still half left!"
Xu Shu frowned and asked again, "Look at if there is something burning in the room, I smell the burnt smell!"
Wanfeng looked around and there was no sign of anything catching fire. He sniffed and didn't smell anything. However, Xu Shu's sense of smell and hearing has always been different from that of ordinary people, so it is impossible to make mistakes.
Then...where is the fire?
"Change clothes!" Xu Shu turned over and sat up. Wan Feng hurriedly changed Xu Shu's clothes. Just as she was pulling her bun again, a slight noise suddenly came downstairs. Xu Shu had not had time to react, and the heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside. The sound was coming to the room where ten of them were.
Xu Shu immediately stood up and made a quick decision and ordered, "Blow the light!"
Wanfeng put down his half-tied bun and ran to the candlestick as fast as possible. He blew out the candlelight. He was about to walk back to Xu Shu in the dark, but unexpectedly, Xu Shu had approached her and pulled her into the curtain behind the bed to hide!
"Miss..." Wan Feng whispered Xu Shu. She hadn't figured out what had happened yet.
