Chapter 4 The Journey is Over

Chapter 4 The Journey is Over
The next day, in the early morning when the sun was shining, Bai Tongtong had breakfast, checked out, and helped the coachman Lauley to lift the suitcase to the top of the carriage and put it away. Seya was married and only brought luggage for the journey. The dowry was mainly cash, etc. Add the full set at Fort Chemington.

In fact, the wedding was still a few months away, so the family did not go with them. Only she, the bride-to-be, set off first to prepare for the wedding with her fiancé.

Based on the indispensable style of the noble lady when going out, and the fright she received in the hotel lobby the night before, Seiya had the idea of ​​hiring a reliable female mercenary as a guard. Fortunately, she now has Bai Tongtong .

In the two-wheeled carriage, Seya and Fen sat on the same side, and Bai Tongtong sat opposite to her. They talked a few words when they first started on the road. Seya talked about trivial matters between nobles, and Bai Tongtong made up some nonsense. The story of a mercenary career.The mercenary experience is made up, and it is easy to deceive a country noble lady whose eyes are limited to a small place in her hometown, but the truth about survival in the wild is true.

Seya is very happy to have Bai Tongtong as a companion for the next journey, because they may encounter camping. First, the weather in summer is unpredictable, and a heavy rain may delay the trip; second, some villages and towns The distance between them is too far, and the only option is to sleep in the wild at night.

Bai Tongtong checked the tents and other things that Seiya brought after checking into the hotel on the first day of departure. The distinguished lady couldn't afford such a luxury as a space bag. In order to reduce the burden of luggage, she really only brought her own daily necessities and a change of clothes. The more important field supplies are not carried much.

After the inspection, Bai Tongtong had to praise Seiya's good luck. She had never encountered camping in Xinxin Town from her hometown, but if she went to Fort Chamington, there might be two or three camping trips along the way. She didn't bring any flint to light the fire, and no one at home reminded her.

After resting for one night, he continued to set off at dawn. Like Seiya, Lauley had no experience of traveling such a long distance. Every time he arrived at a place, he had to ask for directions carefully, but his memory was not good, and he was not very literate. He had to remind others to pay attention. The landmarks are forgotten or misremembered. For example, when you encounter a fork in the road, you should go to the right, and he can turn to the left;

This is the second unreliable shortcoming discovered by Bai Tongtong after Miss Noble's field equipment is not sufficient. This makes her a little anxious and dare not doze off in the car, otherwise if she falls asleep, she should remind her if she misses it. Where the coachman pays attention, a day's journey is wasted.

Seya was very happy and satisfied with Bai Tongtong's devotion to duty, and Bai Tongtong nicknamed her Silly Big Sister in his heart. With such a master, it's no wonder that the servants are not very reliable.

Other than that, there were no other disputes that were difficult to deal with. Even if they encountered glib mercenaries while staying in the hotel, as long as they didn't step forward, they would ignore them if they took advantage of their mouths.

Seya completely trusted Bai Tongtong on security matters, which saved the two parties' time, and Bai Tongtong didn't have to spend much time persuading Seya to understand her ignoring strategy.

But every time Fen couldn't get angry and quarreled with others, she arrogantly put on airs like a noble's servant, and the mercenaries didn't like this, and the result always turned into a real quarrel. Forced to intervene, he twisted the wrist of a certain mercenary and sent him back to his companion, in order to warn others not to act rashly.

Fen was very dissatisfied with this way of calming down the matter, thinking that the behavior of the mercenaries had damaged the noble face of her lady, and could only wash away the shame with blood, but Bai Tongtong was only a small punishment, and she did not miss it in front of Seiya. Complaining about the incompetence of this guard is a waste of such a high price.

Poor Seya who was caught in the middle and turned into a sandwich biscuit, Fen was sent by her mother, she couldn't resist Fen's opinion, she could only listen to what she said, but she felt that Bai Tongtong's actions were not wrong, so she was in a dilemma.

Bai Tongtong took into account all the conflicts between master and servant. Ever since she found out that Fen was capable of causing trouble, she had labeled her as a heartless lady. The lady of a silly elder sister paired with a heartless maid was a perfect match for his grandfather. .

After halfway through the trip, the four of them experienced two sleepovers. They had to choose because the villages and towns in the two places were too far apart to arrive within a day. , there must be a certain place that is a fixed camping place for business travelers.

Seiya's tent came in handy, but it was Bai Tongtong and Laurie who set up the tent. In fact, Laurie didn't know much about it. Bai Tongtong talked and taught on the spot, how to tie the four corners of the tent with stakes, how to dig drainage ditches around the tent, The two of them worked for a long time before all four of them had a place to sleep.

The two masters and servants are still sitting like statues in the back. It is reasonable for Seiya not to work, and it is difficult for Fern to move like a lady. She would rather watch her husband Under Bai Tongtong's command, she did this and that, but she didn't even hand over the firewood.

This was true for both camps.

For the sake of earning fifteen gold coins after arriving at Fort Chamington, Bai Tongtong put up with all the hard work and served the two noble ladies.

When they were three days away from Fort Chemington, the four of them had planned to stay in Hill Village as planned, but there was a heavy rain at noon, and the surrounding area was open and wild, without even a place to hide from the rain. The whole body was soaked, driving the carriage slowly on the muddy road, it was God's blessing that the wheels did not sink into the pothole.

The three people in the car were unavoidably worried about whether they would be able to arrive at Hill Village as scheduled in the afternoon, thinking that they might have to spend the night in the completely wet wilderness, and could not find dry firewood to start a fire, so Fern chattered endlessly, Che Jilu talked over and over again.

Bai Tongtong was annoyed by this mouth-breaking skill that was stronger than Tang Seng, but seeing Seiya's expression that she couldn't bear it anymore and still wanted to bear it, she could only resist the urge to turn her face and bear it.

When the rainstorm subsided, the itinerary came back again, thanks to the long summer sun, and finally arrived at the village at dusk, otherwise Bai Tongtong couldn't guarantee that she would beat Fen violently and just beg her to keep quiet.

She wanted to ask Thea privately what she thought of Fern, but Fen was inseparable from her young lady, and Bai Tongtong spent more time with Lawley, after all, they did almost all the work.

Fort Chamington is a city developed from a military fort. The village of Hill actually belongs to the outskirts of Fort Chamington. The different surrounding villages supplied the soldiers and craftsmen in the fort with different living and military supplies, and they still do.

Military merit is the fastest way to emerge aristocrats, so the number of nobles in Fort Chamington is well-known throughout the country, most of them are hereditary ancestors living here, and a few are later moved from outside, just like Seiya's fiancé, who is the king. The nephew was working, so the fiancée had to travel long distances to come here to get married.

With the convenience of Fort Chamington, Hill Village has been doing business and travel business for many years. The catering and accommodation industry is very developed. The village can be seen to be relatively wealthy. The hard road paved with gravel and rammed earth will not give her shoes. Bai Tongtong was pleasantly surprised and surprised by the addition of new mud and even drainage ditches, and began to look forward to the urban environment of Fort Cheamington.

After asking several hotels, I finally found a room with vacancies. I checked in, had a meal and rest, passed the night safely, and continued to set off at dawn.

The whole journey is coming to an end, Seiya is very excited, energetic and eager to chat, but Fern interrupts inappropriately, teaching her young lady to understand the meaning of pride and restraint even when she is away from home. Don't lose your manners either.

Bai Tongtong had no choice but to shut his mouth in a little embarrassment, slandering that Fen was not only lacking in thoughtfulness, but also went a step further, only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light lamps.

Seya gave her an apologetic look, and Bai Tongtong readily accepted it. After that, the carriage was silent again until they arrived at the village where they rested at noon, and today's trip ended.

After walking for so many days, she finally had half a day of rest. After taking a nap in her room, Bai Tongtong went to sit in an open-air tavern on the street, ordered a glass of honey water, which was still a luxury, and when the man at the next table asked her When striking up a conversation, she picks up the topic and chats about it, absorbing more information along the way, and making more plans for her future.

After her job as a bodyguard was over, she had to find something new for herself to do.

Back at the hotel, I saw Seiya and Fen in the lobby. A mother and daughter were at the same table. They were also wearing tutu skirts, and the styles and colors were much more gorgeous. The mother and daughter held tassels in their hands. There is a small bone hollow folding fan decorated with feathers, gemstone rings on fingers, and matching necklaces on the open neck.

In such a comparison, Seiya looked extremely shabby.

Bai Tongtong didn't want to go there at first, but after hesitating for a while, he still walked up to say hello.

In any case, Seiya would integrate into the noble circle of Fort Zammington in the future, and since he had nowhere to go, he could only stay and live for a while, so it was necessary to make good connections.

Seeing Bai Tongtong approaching, Seya immediately introduced them.

"Tongtong, these two are the wife and miss of Viscount Linden. Ma'am, this is the female mercenary I mentioned just now. Her surname is Bai and her name is Tongtong. She is really powerful. She protected me from Been bothered a lot. Oh, those boring men are so annoying."

Madam and Miss nodded in agreement, expressing their complete understanding of Miss ***'s hard work along the way.

Bai Tongtong immediately showed the Viscountess and Miss the etiquette that a commoner meets a nobleman, which is not too standard, but it is passable.

When you get closer, you can see that the mother and daughter are both of magnificent stature. If Seiya counts the bead as round and smooth, the mother and daughter are more plump than plump, and they are wearing skirts with wide open necklines, showing half of their breasts, which is quite eye-catching. .

There were three aristocratic ladies sitting at the same table, and Fen and Bai Tongtong naturally had to stand at the table. Bai Tongtong took full advantage of her good teeth, showed her toothy smiles without hesitation, and tried to be as polite as possible, "Please ", "Thank you" and other words like that.

After the greetings, Bai Tongtong left tactfully, found Laurie, and went with him to find the coachman, servant and knight of the Viscount's family, invited them to drink, and asked them about life in Fort Zammington, such as street shops. It spread to Viscount Linden's family circle.

Seiya also ate dinner with her new friend. It was not until the next day when she was sitting in the car that Bai Tongtong finally spoke to Seya, telling her about the specific location of her fiancé's address and the surrounding area. What suitable hotels are available for temporary stay.

But the purpose of the viscount's mother and daughter's trip, she knew yesterday, is to go back to the country manor to prepare for the summer banquet. This is the tradition of the nobles in the city. There are seasonal banquets throughout the year, which take turns. After the circle, a season is basically over, and it's time to get busy for the next seasonal banquet.

This is the daily life of noble women.

It is a three-day journey from Hill Village to Fort Chamington. The four of them have already passed through two villages, and there is still a town half a day away, and that town is only a few hours away from the final destination, so it is three days. The journey of one day, in fact, is full and full, and one and a half days is enough.

After Bai Tongtong learned about this situation yesterday, she agreed with Lao Li to hurry on the road today, trying to go to the city in the evening, rest in the city, and end this tiring journey early.

Knowing that there is hope to enter the city today, Seya was ecstatic, and then Fern interrupted the young lady's good mood, and then she started chattering again, expressing doubts about whether she could really enter the city today.

This is really only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing people to light lamps.

Bai Tongtong has great sympathy for Seiya, although she doesn't do anything about her, she still can't help but wonder if Seya's future married life will be completely destroyed by her maid.

Although Lawley is illiterate and rather stupid, he has an advantage, that is, as long as he is told clearly, he will carry it out without compromise. He drives wholeheartedly according to the driving speed Bai Tongtong ordered, and he is already on the road before noon. Arriving in the town, the four of them set out immediately after having lunch as quickly as possible, turning a deaf ear to Fern's accusations of failing to observe the noble dining etiquette.

When the sun was setting, they suddenly heard Lauley shouting happily, and the three people in the car poked their heads out of the car windows, and the majestic and tall city walls of Fort Chemington appeared in front of them.

At last the tormenting journey was over.
