The carriage was galloping fast, and the wheels hit the rocks on the ground, causing the carriage to become unstable and shake back and forth. If Xiao Lingchuan's driving skills were not superb, the carriage might have overturned.
Even so, Li Haitang was shaken so badly that he almost vomited it out.
The two or three days I came to Surabaya City were even more torturous than before.
"Ma'am, is the master here to pick you up?"
Wu Fu clapped his hands, which means that the group can go back! This shabby place is really uninspiring. The only reward is a meal of roasted venison with honey.
"That's right, since He Baozhu has been rescued, our mission is complete."
Li Haitang had a lot to say to the savage husband, but he was busy driving, and the two of them hadn't found a chance to talk.
Without Li Haitang's guidance, Xiao Lingchuan drove to a remote residential house. The windows and doors of the surrounding houses were closed, and the Korean paper had several holes. The house was crooked, as if no one lived there.
He Baozhu was curled up in the corner of the room, cursing in a low voice. After she was fished out of the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, she was thrown into this desolate place.
The house is full of dust, and I don't know how long it has been unoccupied.
She wanted to struggle, but the other party only said coldly, don't be afraid of death, just go out, next time you won't be so lucky.
He Baozhu is Jiao Didi's eldest lady, where has she ever been wronged like this? She cried and yelled to go home, but the man ignored him and asked her to wait here, and someone would naturally send her away.
Here, as soon as the carriage arrived at the door, she heard a noise.
One day, He Baozhu hardly had a drop of water, and He Baozhu was very hungry. In fact, there was food and water in the stove, but the water was served in a thick porcelain bowl, and there were a few yellow steamed buns next to it. It's not made of flour!
The He family is considered generous and has ancestral property. Not to mention eating braised pork every meal, the He family also needs to add slices of fatty meat to stir-fries, so that she, a young lady who is loved by thousands, can eat steamed buns?
He Baozhu was so wronged that she hugged her knees and was angry all the time.
The servants of the city lord's mansion did not make things difficult for her. They had three meals a day, delicious food, and snacks. The city lord said that as long as his grandfather is willing to come to Sishui City to treat the disease, he will be treated as a guest of honor and get a sum of money.
And she will be put back and continue to be the eldest lady of her He family.
When He Baozhu heard this, she was not so afraid. She was the only girl in the family, and her grandfather obeyed her words the most. If she wanted the stars and not the moon, but he came to Manzi for medical treatment, his grandfather would definitely agree!
He Baozhu insisted without thinking much, and continued to live a comfortable life as a prisoner.
Regarding being rescued, she still complained that the other party was nosy, what if grandpa came and couldn't find her?
Moreover, if you save people, you save them. I have never seen someone so irresponsible. Throw her here, and send her away with broken cornbread that her dogs don't even eat, ignoring whether she is afraid or something.
She kept an account for that person in her heart, and waited to return to the border town to complain to her grandfather.
Although old man He is an imperial doctor, but He Baozhu has no interest in medical skills, but only likes playing the piano and composing poems. She thinks that people who study medicine smell like medicine, just like the mud legs in the village. The muddy smell that can't be washed off doesn't fit her status as a young lady.
Returning from the capital to this poor country, she was already very depressed, surrounded by some bumpkins who had never seen the world, which made her look down on her.
But this is the decision of her grandfather, He Laoyu, and what she said doesn't count.
"The dilapidated place, that's enough!"
When she heard a carriage coming, He Baozhu rushed out first. She didn't know Zhang Ruyi, and Li Haitang and his wife wore masks, so she only knew Wufu.
"Hmph, Miss Ben recognizes you, you are Li Haitang's maid."
He Baozhu was forced to be happy when she saw her own person. She raised the corners of her mouth with an arrogant expression on her face, "You stupid girl, why don't you come over and help Miss Ben?"
On weekdays, Li Haitang occasionally went to He's residence as a guest, and had little contact with He Baozhu, and occasionally met He Baozhu in the yard, and the other party also looked superior, which made her very displeased.
However, she was surprised when she spoke in such a tone as the savior.
Zhang Ruyi opened her mouth. This person is just the granddaughter of a little imperial doctor. In the past, He Baozhu was not qualified to participate in the sister flower viewing party in Kyoto. So arrogant, where did he come from for his confidence?
Wu Fu frowned and didn't move. She was a servant girl, but she was a servant girl of the Xiao family, and she only served his wife, but she had nothing to do with He Baozhu!
"You are stupid, you are really stupid! Your wife took advantage of this lady's grandfather, and this lady can't order you anymore?"
Wu Fu didn't move, which made He Baozhu very embarrassed. She stood still and hooked her fingers at Zhang Ruyi, "It's you!"
"I... are you sure?"
Zhang Ruyi took off the mask amusedly, but the two of them had never met in Beijing, and He Baozhu didn't know her. Seeing this, she asked suspiciously, "Is there any problem?"
"You talk to me like that, do you know who I am?"
Ignorance is terrible. Back then, Miss Zhang relied on her status in the clan and got involved in the circle of the aristocratic family in Kyoto. How could the sisters have simple characters? There is a fourth-rank official position in the family, so she doesn't have to look up. She also relies on her grandfather's official position and the status of her mother's Xia family to dare to run amok.
A granddaughter who is not a low-ranking official dares to let her serve. If she says it, she will be laughed at by her sisters in the capital!
"I don't care who you are, you are just a slave."
He Baozhu looked indifferent, her grandfather's official position was not high, and now he has retired and returned to his hometown, but who would dare to blatantly oppose the imperial doctor? Unless you can guarantee that you will never get sick.
Even though He Baozhu said that, she observed Zhang Ruyi's brows tightly, but she didn't dare to continue talking nonsense, and got into the carriage first.
It's important to go back to the border town first, so why rush to clean up the servants?
The veins on Zhang Ruyi's forehead were throbbing violently. She took two deep breaths before resisting the urge to kick him down, just to keep the overall situation in mind.
In order to get such a thing out, they have suffered a lot, but now it seems that it is really not worth it.
After getting into the carriage, He Baozhu was still picking and choosing, disliked that the carriage seat was not soft enough, the water in the teapot was too cold, the taste was not right, it might be overnight tea, and the smell in the carriage was also not pleasant.
"What, it stinks!"
He Baozhu fanned the wind with his hands, and then said arrogantly, "Don't you all use rouge and gouache?"
"That's right, the box I use costs twenty taels of silver, and you probably can't afford it." I heard that buying a girl now and signing a death contract is only twenty or thirty taels of silver. Enough to buy a girl to wait on!
