As noon approached, the carriage stopped in front of a small inn.
Zhao Yanping left the bag in the car and got out of the car with only three bags of buns. Seeing that the magistrate was already standing outside the car, Zhao Yanping couldn't hold Ah Jiao down again, so he put on a stool in a regular manner.
"Go in and have a meal, rest for two quarters of an hour before leaving." Xie Ying arranged for the people to have three urgent needs. After rushing for a long time, everyone must solve the problem.
The post stations are usually used for the imperial court to send a message to the officers and soldiers. The accommodation is simple and the food is all big pot dishes. Zhao Yanping came once, but even he was a rough man, it was difficult to swallow the food, let alone Xie Ying and Ajiao.
Zhao Yanping sent six buns to the kitchen and brought them with other meals.
Xie Ying went to get rid of the problem.
Zhao Yanping asked Gillian: "Do you want to go?"
Gillian nodded embarrassedly, but she was a little scared and dared not walk around alone.
Zhao Yanping was not relieved of her appearance and signaled Gillian to follow him.
I met several servants on the road, basically all of them were men. Because Zhao Yanping was there, they did not dare to stare at Ah Jiao openly, but when the two walked over, the servants stared at Ah Jiao's back, looking at her slender waist, her side face exposed, her neck was tender and white, and she had no idea where she was thinking.
When he arrived at the place, Zhao Yanping checked the surroundings first and confirmed that there was no hidden person before letting Jiao go in and he was guarding outside.
Gillian has never been so relieved.
Both of them got through, so they found a place to wash their hands, and then came to the lobby to meet with Xie Ying.
"Sit together, go out and don't pay attention to the vain etiquette."
Xie Ying smiled and greeted the two of them.
Gillian looked at the official.
Zhao Yanping said: "Let's sit with Brother Shun." He said that, and sat down at the table next to him.
Xie Ying shook his head, no force.
The kitchen soon brought wine, food and drinks. The six buns were packed in two plates because they were big. When they saw a group of people split into two tables, they put a plate on one table.
The white and fat meat buns exuded the fragrance of noodles and the filling was fragrant, and Brother Shun swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
Xie Ying could not eat three by himself, so he asked Zhao Yanping to take one.
Zhao Yanping could eat three of them himself, but Brother Shun was so greedy. He only put two in his bowl, and gave them the remaining two to Jiao and Brother Shun respectively.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" Brother Shun smiled so hard that his eyes were bent and he started eating without hesitation.
Gillian knew the official’s food, and was afraid that the official would not be full, so she picked up the buns in the bowl and handed them over and said, “I’ll just eat rice, this official will eat it.”
Shun Ge'er was chewing buns in his mouth, his eyes were spinning between the two, and he would look at whoever he spoke. He had been with Xie Ying since he was a child, and he had almost seen all the beauty Shun Ge'er that Xie Ying had seen, so he would not lose his composure in front of Gillian.
Zhao Yanping didn't even look at Ah Jiao, staring at the savory stir-frying dish in the middle of the table: "You can't finish eating it."
He is fierce and his words also give people a sense of lesson.
Gillian lowered her head and had a quiet meal.
Brother Shun joked: "My sister-in-law doesn't like eating buns, so give it to me, I like it."
Gillian didn't want to give it to him, her forehead drooped even lower, and a pink color flew over her ears.
Zhao Yan glanced at Brother Shun casually.
Brother Shun said, "Come on, I'd better go to the table with the adults, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhao and his sister-in-law's love."
As he said that, Brother Shun really picked up the bowl and went to Xie Ying's table with chopsticks.
Xie Ying smiled but said nothing.
Gillian's face was blushing. If she had known that she would have provoked these words, she would not have been troubled.
After eating a big bun, Gillian was completely full and did not touch the food in the station.
The four of them got their stomachs fixed and continued on their way.
The carriage was bumpy along the official road. The sun was warm at noon and the sun was warm. Gillian secretly yawned with her sleeves to cover her face and was sleepy.
When Zhao Yanping saw this, he suddenly bent his waist and left the main seat and asked her to lie down. The main seat in the car was about six feet long. Gillian was petite and could lie down with her legs curled up. Zhao Yanping was nine feet tall and could not even lie down.
The official didn't even sleep, so Gillian didn't have the nerve to lie down and refused to go no matter what he said.
Zhao Yanping suddenly grabbed her shoulder and carried it over to her like a chicken. Then he sat in the side seat, put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes, and looked like he didn't want to talk anymore.
The official was so considerate to her, and Gillian smiled in her eyes. She gently placed the bag near the official. Gillian took off her embroidered shoes and lay down face in. Her legs were bent together, and her waist and hips were naturally moved backwards. She even stood her shoulders, which were only one palm away from the edge of the bench. If she was not careful, she might roll down.
Zhao Yanping opened his eyes slightly. Seeing her posture, he deliberately spread his legs apart and pressed his left knee against the bench. In this way, she would hit him first if she really turned over.
After that, Zhao Yanping really took a nap.
The official road was quite flat and there was basically no big bump. Gillian went out for the first time and sat for a long time in the morning. After lying down, even though the bench was not as spacious and comfortable as the bed at home, Gillian fell asleep quickly. She was also well-behaved and did not turn around.
Zhao Yanping felt uncomfortable sitting, and he sniffed for a while and woke up for a while. Every time he looked at Jiao, she would sleep soundly with her back to him.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped urgently!
Zhao Yanping shook forward uncontrollably. Halfway through, he suddenly reacted, and instinctively turned around and knelt out his hands, just taking the flipped Ah Jiao to her arms.
Her forehead hit his chest, and Ajiao, who woke up, opened her eyes and realized that she was being held in her arms by the official. Her head rested on the official's arms, her waist and hips were placed on the official's legs, and her calf was held by the official's right hand!
What's going on here?
Gillian was still confused. Zhao Yanping guessed that something was wrong outside, so he quickly put Gillian, who was soft all over back on the bench and whispered: "Stay in the car and don't move, I'll go out and take a look."
Gillian had no choice but to watch the official jump down.
Zhao Yanping rushed to the first carriage and saw Brother Shun jumping down, and was about to help a thin old lady in a civilized clothes who was falling down in front of the carriage.
"Sir, are you okay?" Zhao Yanping first asked about Xie Ying's situation.
Xie Ying shook his head: "I'm fine, see what's wrong with this old lady."
Zhao Yanping walked to Brother Shun and saw that the old lady had white lips and sweaty face. He squatted down and pinched the old lady's first.
The old lady woke up slowly, looking at Zhao Yanping blankly.
"You just fainted, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yanping asked.
The old lady thought about it and touched her throat, "Thirsty and dizzy. My brother's house is five miles away. Please beg the uncle to be kind and send me over. I haven't eaten lunch. I have walked for more than ten miles and I can't walk anymore."
It turns out that I'm fainted from hunger.
Zhao Yanping looked at Xie Ying.
Xie Ying said: "Then take her for a ride and help you get in the car."
Zhao Yanping nodded, held the old lady's shoulder with both hands, and helped the man onto the carriage behind him.
Gillian heard the sound, and had already sat back on the side seat. After the old lady got in the car, Gillian wanted to help her. Who would have thought that the old lady would snort coldly when she saw her face and sat on the side of the main seat.
Gillian just felt it was inexplicable.
Zhao Yanping got into the car and sat on the bench near Gillian.
He didn't see the scene where the old lady avoided Ah Jiao's help. After the carriage set off, Zhao Yanping handed the kettle to the old lady first.
The old lady took several sips, and after drinking, she became energetic. The old lady wiped her mouth and pointed at Ajiao and asked Zhao Yanping: "Is this little lady your wife?"
The old lady who met by chance left after walking for a while. Zhao Yanping explained too much without intention and nodded.
When Gillian saw her, the unhappiness caused by the old lady was instantly replaced by sweetness.
Unexpectedly, the old lady stared at her for a moment and suddenly hummed: "I really don't understand that you men. Even if you marry a wife, you like to marry such a delicate and beautiful beauty. What's the use? You can't do any job well. You can only confuse a man with a face. The man is so fascinated that he doesn't even listen to his own mother's words. The father-in-law also looks at her and beats a spendthrift!"
After a few words, Zhao Yanping and Ajiao knew about it. The old lady was angry with her beautiful daughter-in-law at home.
But she was angry with her daughter-in-law, why did she make a fuss about Ah Jiao?
Gillian looked straight, but because she was so old that she didn't care about her.
The old lady was dissatisfied with Gillian's attitude and patted Zhao Yanping's arm and said, "Look at this bad temper, I will just say a few words, and she actually gave me a look. Could it be that she treats your mother like this in your family?"
Gillian bit her lip and really glared at the old lady.
The old lady became even more fierce, pointing her finger at Gillian: "You..."
A slender and powerful hand suddenly stretched out and pressed the old lady's arm down. The old lady turned her head and saw that the man who had just been kind enough to support her, and he warned her coldly: "We are kind enough to take you all the way. If you are not polite to me, don't blame me for rushing you out of the car."
The old lady was just a bully of the weak and afraid of the strong. She was frightened by Zhao Yanping on the spot and didn't dare to say anything. She just secretly glared at Gillian with her eyes.
Gillian looked out the window, not wanting to pay attention to this annoying old lady.
Wuli land arrived soon. The old lady poked her head out and looked at a village not far away and said, "That's my brother's house. Do you just send me to the door?"
Zhao Yanping had no expression on his face: "We still have to hurry up, you can walk over by yourself."
The old lady was so angry that she got off the car and scolded Zhao Yanping for being caught by a vixen.
"How could there be such a person?" Looking at the thin and small old lady through the window, Gillian couldn't help but complain to Zhao Yanping.
Zhao Yanping has handled such a case and encountered worse ones, so he is no longer surprised.
"Drink a little water." Zhao Yanping handed over the kettle.
Gillian remembered that the old lady's mouth had touched the pot, and turned her head and said disgusted: "She has drunk it, and I will wash it and use it when I arrive in the city."
Zhao Yanping looked at her in surprise.
This was the first time he saw her having a tantrum, her pink lips pouted, lively and cute.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanping realized another thing: she loved cleanliness and would dislike the old lady, but the two of them shared this kettle in the morning. She did not show any hesitation when drinking the water, but her little face turned red, as if it was as if touching the kettle he had drunk, which was equivalent to touching his mouth.
“Okay.”
