Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 60
After learning boxing and kicking with Master Liu for an hour, Wen Shu, who had not been active for a few days, felt his arms were sore and weak again, and he couldn't lift a bit of strength.

Just as he was struggling to climb onto the car, he heard Lu Xi say behind him: "Wait a minute, little lady, come sit in the front today, I'll teach you how to drive."

"What? Driving?" Wen Shu froze and turned his head away.

Lu Xi showed his white teeth with a smile, "Yes, it was also ordered by the young master."

Wen Shu cursed in her heart, and then explained to herself, it's okay, it's okay!Isn't it just driving a car, there are so many skills that don't burden you, and you can learn for free, why not do it, so you turned around and sat on the shaft, then looked at Lu Xi, waiting for him to speak.

"Today is the first time, and the little lady doesn't need to get started, just look at it, let's go to the city now, I will always remind you of driving tips on the way, the little lady just needs to write it down, wait for two days Once you get familiar with it, you can practice it, and I will watch it from the sidelines.”

It's almost there!
After listening to Lu Xi finish his teaching plan, Wen Shu nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Wen Shu, who was already familiar with and mastered some tricks, staggered to the city in a carriage under Lu Xi's teaching.

But after all, she is a novice, and it is okay to be in a wide and sparsely populated place outside the city, but once she gets to the city gate, especially after entering the city, there are so many cars and horses coming and going, and there are so many people walking around to carry burdens, she has some control Not good, almost hit someone a few times.

Fortunately, Lu Xi was sitting next to him, and when he saw this, he pulled the rein together, and then patiently explained to her while operating, how to deal with this situation, and how to control the rein to avoid it.

Wen Shu listened very carefully, and tried a few times later, and became more proficient. Although she was still a little crooked, she was able to avoid people and carriages in time.

Time passed by like this, Wen Shu practiced martial arts in the morning and drove the car, and went to the medical hall and temple to stay in the afternoon, but I don’t know if she was unlucky or because there were not many people with jaundice, and no patient was found for several days. with.

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wen Shu didn't go to the medical clinic anymore, but changed into the crimson jacket she wore during the New Year's Eve and went to the Renxuan Tea House on Qingming Street.

During the New Year's Eve, teahouses and restaurants are the busiest places. When she arrived, the lobby was already full of people, and the first storyteller who was over forty years old was spitting out myths and legends, attracting the audience below.

Wen Shu glanced at the second floor, and saw Lu Yuancheng standing on the railing with a teacup in his hand. She was slightly startled, and saw him beckoning to her.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and carried her skirt up to the second floor. Seeing that she understood, Lu Yuancheng turned and entered the elegant room behind him.

The elegant room was at the end of the hallway. When Wen Shu entered, Lu Yuancheng was pouring tea at the table. Seeing her coming, he said calmly, "Come in." But after she stepped through the door, he said, "Close the door."

Hearing this, Wen Shu paused, then turned his head and looked at the door behind him, as if hesitating whether to do this or not?
"Hurry up, I have something important to tell you." Here, Lu Yuancheng had already issued an order.

Regardless of the influence, Wen Shu turned around and closed the door, then sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what your lord came to tell me?"

It was so important that Lu Xi couldn't convey it, and he didn't say it in another courtyard, but had to make an appointment with another teahouse.

Lu Yuancheng didn't speak, but first poured her a cup of tea and pushed it over: "Have a cup of tea first."

He didn't say that Wen Shu didn't feel it. After saying this, she felt that she was indeed a little thirsty. She was busy practicing martial arts in the morning, and rushed here after dinner, and she really didn't have time to drink a cup of tea.

"Thank you, my lord." She thanked her and took a drink from her teacup.

Lu Yuancheng stared blankly, then shook his head and refilled her a glass, and then started to talk about today's business: "The date to go to Cangzhou has been fixed, it will be after the Lantern Festival, the sixteenth day of the first month, you should be ready."

"Okay." Lu Yuancheng mentioned this day before, so Wen Shu was not surprised.

"I don't have any other requirements for you. Those tasks of serving tea and water, you can do it as you like, and it's okay if you don't like it. There is only one thing that must be done." Before the opposite side, holding the cup and looking at her steadily : "That is to follow Wan'er every step of the way."

"Stay close? What about sleeping and going to the bathroom?" Wen Shu asked.

"Of course you have to follow, and don't meddle in other people's business, so as not to fall into other people's schemes to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Your task is to protect yourself and Wan'er. Other things have nothing to do with you. Even if someone outside kills and sets fire, you still have your own guards." The team has to worry about it, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Kill and set fire!Wen Shu's eyes widened slightly, she regretted what to do now.

Lu Yuancheng knew what she was thinking without guessing, took a sip of tea, and said coolly: "But you don't have to worry too much, the guards I sent are all skilled, and it is by no means a problem to deal with ordinary thieves. The most important task is to protect Wan'er, and we must not let her place the order alone, otherwise, even if she is fine in the end, if I lose my reputation, I will still seek revenge from you."

When Wen Shu heard this, he immediately turned down.

Can't lose a cent!Can't get a bad reputation!Why did she accept the task of protecting people, this is basically escorting rare treasures!

Too lazy to guess what she was thinking, Lu Yuancheng didn't say any more, and directly took out a brocade bag from under the table, and put it on the table with a bang.

Wen Shu was startled, looked up at him, saw him untie the bag, and took out a dagger and a few small bottles from inside.

"The dagger is for your self-defense. You can usually hide it in your boots or the waist of your underwear." Then he took out two red porcelain bottles, "These two bottles are sweat medicine, you can put them in wine or vegetables. The breath is effective, the other few bottles are wound medicine, what are they used for, and the usage is written on it, you go back and have a look, although the maids around you will bring these things in the evening, but it is safer for you to bring a copy with you .”

This is a dagger and a wound medicine. It seems that this trip is really dangerous!
Wen Shu wanted to say that she would quit, but when she thought that she had already signed the contract, she regretted hitting the wall.

But this matter is actually not dangerous in Lu Yuancheng's mind, because what they encountered in their previous life was just a group of ineffective bandits. The twenty guards he sent were more than enough to deal with these bandits, but I don't know what trick they used , actually dropped most of the guards away from the front, and the remaining few had to deal with the thieves, and they had to take care of Wan'er, so they were somewhat at a loss. One careless, Wan'er was robbed by the thieves even with his car.

When he received the letter and rushed to Cangzhou in the starry night, he saw the guards bringing Wan'er back on the way, but when they returned to the capital, the news that the eldest girl of the Hou's mansion was kidnapped by the thieves had already spread throughout the capital.

Although Wan'er said that those thieves did nothing to her and released her and her maid Yinhong the next day, Miss Lu's innocence had been ruined.

Wan'er was originally a strong and sensitive person, upon hearing these gossips, she locked herself in the room without eating or drinking.

A few days later, people from the Anping Marquis' Mansion came to visit Wan'er in the name of visiting Wan'er, but they kept talking about what was going on outside and how bad the news was.

His father immediately dissolved the marriage of the two families with an ugly face. When Wan'er heard about it, he committed suicide that night. Although he was rescued later, he insisted on twisting his hair and went to become a aunt in Qingxinguan outside the city. .

Later, when the Jin soldiers invaded the capital, the officials were taken captive, along with many royal relatives and women's belongings. It is said that the Jin soldiers did not spare even the Taoist temples outside the city.

He happened to be working outside at that time, and several days had passed by the time he heard the news, and it was too late to pursue Jin Bing at that time.

Later, he sneaked back to Tokyo to see if the Qingxin Temple was still there, but when he got there, it had been burned to ashes, and his sister was also missing.

To live a new life, he wants to save his family and country!Protect the people!What's more, Wan'er's fate must be changed, so that her life will be safe and smooth!
