Chapter 3 Diversion to Yangzhou
That night, Shen Qingling and his party entered Luguan Town to rest, Jiao Liuniang and the servants of the Shen family did not dare to disobey Shen Qingling openly, so they followed her, only after entering Luguan Town, Send a letter to Bianjing.

She didn't want to go to Beijing like before, but Lu Guanzhen could come.

The next day, Shen Qingling took Pingniang and Uncle Fu out of the house early, and it happened that Luguan Town was going to market, the streets and alleys were full of people, Jiao Liuniang followed behind with sweat profusely, for fear of accidentally killing people I'm gone.

"Second Lady, are you looking for someone?" Ping Niang originally thought that Shen Qingling was out to join in the fun, but as she walked, she realized that Shen Qingling was actually searching for something in the crowd.

Uncle Fu also looked around, "Who are you looking for? Er Niangzi, tell me, Uncle Fu will help you find it."

Shen Qingling was really looking for someone, she walked along the hawkers all the way to the crowded place, and stopped after walking for about a stick of incense.

Opposite her, a skinny little girl was kneeling on the edge of a rolled straw mat with her head drooping.

If apart from Pingniang and Uncle Fu, Shen Qingling trusted anyone else, it would be Yingxiu and Yuxiang.Yingxiu was the orphan girl that Shen Qingling bought in Luguan Town on the way to Bianjing, and Yuxiang was the daughter of an escort who was rescued by Shen Qingling in the name of Princess Shou after she married into Prince Shou's Mansion.

At this time, Yingxiu did not have a name.

Although the Li Dynasty was more civilized than the previous ones, it still followed the old customs for ordinary women. The daughters of those ordinary families usually did not have names, and only added the word A before their surnames.

Girls from the Zhang family are called Azhang, and girls from the Li family are called Ali. If there are several girls in the family, a seniority order is added after the surnames. For example, the third girl of the Li family is called Li Sanniang by everyone. .

"It's her." Shen Qingling leaned over and raised Yingxiu's face with her fingers.

Ping Niang took a closer look at the little girl her wife had taken a fancy to, pondered a few times, then nodded and said: "Looking at the girl's appearance, she should be good. She can clean up and stay by your side to serve her."

Seeing that someone wanted to buy her, Yingxiu trembled and did not dare to move, and whispered, "Your great kindness, I will remember it forever, just, just..."

But Shen Qingling let go of her with a smile, turned around and told Jiao Liuniang who was behind her: "I want to buy her, and help her bury her mother, and by the way, invite a doctor for her, and let her take her back to rescue her." That useless brother."

Yingxiu, who was stunned on the spot, took a long time to come back to her senses, and kowtowed, thinking that she had met an exiled immortal.

Such an order meant that Jiao Liuniang not only had to contribute money and effort, but also had to accompany Shen Qingling to rest in Luguan Town for another day.

As a result, Jiao Liuniang immediately became dissatisfied. Seeing her with her waist up and her swollen face raised, she stumbled back and said, "Ling, Ling lady, this... is your fault, Mr. Lang asked you not to stop rushing to Bianjing, you, how can you play and stay here?"

Ping Niang was also a little surprised, and hurriedly suppressed her voice and said in Shen Qingling's ear: "Second Lady, Mr. Shen is still waiting for you to go back. We stay in Luguan Town for a long time, I'm afraid it will make him unhappy."

"When does the master need the servants to intervene when doing something? Is this the rule of the Shen family?" Shen Qingling threw back the words without hesitation.

Perhaps because of Shen Qingling's demeanor, Jiao Liuniang didn't dare to argue anymore, and honestly gave the money.It's just that when the doctor was invited to Yingxiu's house later, Jiao Liuniang muttered something to Yingxiu's elder brother in a tricky way, which made Yingxiu hate her elder brother even more.

After returning to the inn where she stayed, Shen Qingling pulled Pingniang and Uncle Fu to express her thoughts:

"I'm not going to Bianjing anymore."

As soon as the six words came out, Uncle Fu and Niang Ping were all shocked.

After a long silence, Uncle Fu sighed, and said to Shen Qingling lovingly: "You are the master, if you don't want to go, the old slave will naturally agree. Besides, the old slave thought that Mr. Shen Lang was Since I really want to get back the love of children, I wrote a letter to you, and I invite you to come to Beijing... Judging by the attitude of that wicked woman, I am afraid that the mistress of the Shen family is not a good person."

Uncle Fu and Niang Ping didn't have a good impression of Shen Zeng, but he was Shen Qingling's biological father after all, so on weekdays, Uncle Fu and Niang Ping never discussed his right and wrong in front of Shen Qingling.

"Second lady, are you really not going to see your father? It must be better to be able to go to father's side than to show one's face outside alone." Ping Niang was thinking of Shen Qingling, and did not fully agree with her.

"I won't go." Shen Qingling closed her eyes and shook her head, pretending to be worried and said: "The Shen family is an upstart in Bianjing, and the Xu family is a family with hairpin tassels. How can a vulgar woman like me be allowed to enter the house? Let alone... ...My existence is to remind Xu Yan that her sons and daughters are just concubines."

Ping Niang didn't allow Shen Qingling to belittle herself like this, she squinted her eyes slightly, and retorted: "Second Lady, don't say that, you are a lady who brought up hard, educated, and sensible, how could you be anything A vulgar woman?"

More than just a three-character summary of the book I have read?

Shen Qingling was able to read at the age of three and learned Chinese at the age of six.

It is also because she knows everything and is good at everything, so when she appeared in the Chen family, Xu Yan immediately felt the crisis, so that in the end Xu Yan didn't intend to let Shen Qingling live in the Shen family for years, so she took her away without stopping. Arranged into Shouwang Mansion.

At that time, King Shou was about to go to northern Xinjiang. In order to show his kindness, the officials planned to let him get married before going north, and asked him to choose a woman he liked in Bianjing to be his concubine.

As a result, the noble girls in Beijing couldn't avoid it, and it was just right for Shen Qingling to bump into her.

"I know that Pingniang loves me." Shen Qingling leaned her head on Pingniang's shoulder, and said softly and coquettishly: "But I think, compared to Bianjing, I still prefer a more unrestrained life, mother give me Is the money left enough for me to settle in Yangzhou? No matter how bad it is, it’s not bad to settle in the villages on the edge of Yangzhou.”

In short, don't go to Bianjing again, don't meet Li Yu, and don't have any entanglements with the Tian family or power.After that, she will find another place to go, whether it is farming or business, the vast world can always accommodate her family of five.

As for the mother's hatred——

Shen Qingling sneered unknowingly, and withdrew the fierce look from her eyes.She doesn't think it's difficult to take revenge. It was possible in the past, but it will be possible in the future. She will go to Xu Yan and the Chen family to settle the score, but not now.

Let them... let them have a good time for a few more years.

Now that the route to Yangzhou was set, Uncle Fu began to discuss the matter of changing the route. Jiao Liuniang didn't know about it, so he took a rest for a day and didn't bother with anything else.

And after Yingxiu took care of the trivial matters at home, she began to learn and serve by Shen Qingling's side.Although she was a slave in the past, she had never been so close to her master, so many things had to be taught by Ping Niang.

Fortunately, Yingxiu is smart, and can understand many things at once, which saves Pingniang's heart.

Shen Qingling and Pingniang are teaching Yingxiu in an orderly manner, while Uncle Fu has dismissed the bodyguard hired from Runan.This is done to ensure a safe journey, and secondly because going to Bianjing is different from going to Yangzhou.

If you go to Bianjing, you can be regarded as the foot of the emperor along the way. There must be a lot less bandits and lunatics, and the price will be cheaper. If you go to Yangzhou, the mountain roads and waterways are full of dangers, and the asking price will be completely different.

Runan's bodyguards are not as good as Bianjing, nor as small as this little Luguan Town, so dismissing them early can be regarded as a peace of mind for the bodyguards.

Fortunately, although Luguan Town is not big, it is next to Bianjing. It has everything you need, even the Escorts and Posts, so Uncle Fu didn't spend much time, so he found two more expensive ones. bodyguard.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Pingniang went to Shen Qingling's guest room with hot water and tea as usual, and knocked on the door, but before she knocked, Shen Qingling called Pingniang first, and then ran over to open the door like a gust of wind.

"Ping Niang help me to see, what else should I add here?" She held up a booklet full of words in front of Ping Niang with a charming expression, and asked with bent eyes, "I remember that Uncle Fu's plowing is a Good hands, Ping Niang, you can also raise silkworms, why don't we go to Yangzhou to settle down, and then use the remaining money to buy a house and a piece of land, so that we don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Seeing that Shen Qingling is so energetic, Pingniang also believed that she really didn't want to go to Bianjing, and looked down at the booklet in her hand solemnly, pointing out some problems from time to time.

The two leaned on each other, and as soon as they talked, they talked about noon.

After noon, Jiao Liuniang came.

Jiao Liuniang is not stupid, she quickly saw what Shen Qingling and her servants did these days.Therefore, after she figured it out, she aggressively folded her arms to block the door of Shen Qingling's room, with a sense of arrogance on her face that she had caught Shen Qingling.

"Hey, isn't this Jiao Liuniang? Why, what's the point of coming here?" Shen Qingling unhurriedly closed the booklet, handed it to Pingniang, then got up and walked towards the door, "If you urge me to leave, then No need, today I have a severe headache and don’t want to hurry.”

I saw Jiao Liuniang spitting, hanging her eyes and scolded angrily: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! I have already written to tell my wife, and she will come over and drag you to Bianjing in a short time. Don't waste your time here!"

puff.

Shen Qingling raised her sleeve to cover her lips, and laughed lightly.

Hearing the mocking laughter, Jiao Liuniang blushed immediately, raised her finger and pointed at Shen Qingling, and continued: "What are you laughing at? Do you think you can escape the first day of junior high school, and you can also escape the fifteenth day? Even if you don’t want to go, Jing, you have to go!”

There are also a few words that can be heard in the mouth of a fool.

In her previous life, Shen Qingling had doubted the real reason why Shen Zengxiu went to Runan, because the timing was too coincidental, she had learned etiquette on the front foot, and the marriage edict from the palace on the back foot was sent to Shen's residence.

So Shen Qingling guessed that even if Shen Zeng didn't do it on purpose, it must have something to do with Xu Yan behind him.

Now, when Shen Qingling heard Jiao Liuniang's blurted words, she could be sure that at this time Xu Yan must have received the news that King Shou was going to be married and was going to Northern Xinjiang, so she acquiesced in accepting Shen Zeng. Pass the house lightly.
