Chapter 105 Passerby

"Excuse me, is the Lord's house there? We are pilgrims going up the mountain. We pass by here and want to ask for a bowl of water. Thank you."

Hearing that they were just passing pilgrims, Wang Zhuangzhi heaved a sigh of relief, "Huh~"

He wiped the sweat from his brow before walking to the door to open it.

Jiaojiao heard the movement and had already walked over, looking at the visitor curiously.

After the door opened, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman stood at the door.

The woman wore double buns, and she looked delicate and honest. A mole on her mouth and a sweet smile made her round face a little more festive. She was wearing a dark blue skirt, and her not-so-slender body made her shoulders appear A little round, but it doesn't prevent her from being kind and cute.

"Master, is it convenient for us to enter the house to ask for water?"

Wang Zhuangzhi glanced at the little maid, and then at the magnificent carriage behind her.

Pulling the cart are two high-quality black-maned horses, strong and powerful, very imposing. The carriages are large and exquisite, with golden silk nanmu and fine brocade silk tassels, and the wooden windows are carved with patterned totems that have never been seen before.

This looks like a person who is either rich or expensive.

It’s an eventful time now, although he doesn’t want to have too much entanglement with strangers, but this person in front of him is not suitable to offend, so Wang Zhuangzhi clasped his fists and said politely: “The farmer’s family has never had any tea. If you don’t mind, there is enough water in the mountain spring.”

"Our lady will not dislike her, thank you for the host's consent, I will go and ask our lady to come down."

As he spoke, the magpie happily ran towards the carriage, muttering and explaining something to the carriage.

After a while, a girl in white clothes wearing a veiled hat was helped down by her mother-in-law.

"Miss Si, please pay attention to your feet, don't bump into them."

"Mommy, it's all right."

Nurse Zhao was dressed in a navy blue brocade dress, with two golden gold hairpins stuck in her hair. Her brows were a bit solemn, she supported her own lady, and looked at the Wang family's house openly and squarely.

Compared to the farmhouses they passed by before, it was much better, Miss Fourth had a place to rest.

She straightened her back and saw that Wang Zhuangzhi was covered in dust at the door, and his temperament did not look like the master's, so she thought she was a servant of this family, so she waved to Wang Zhuangzhi and said: "Then who, hurry up."

Before the master was notified, Fourth Miss suddenly coughed lightly.

Nurse Zhao frowned, supported the young lady and asked in a low voice: "Miss, I didn't hear coughing on the way just now, so what's wrong?"

"Never."

Rong Qingyan stopped in her tracks, her face was covered by a veil, but her figure was slender, and her clear and pleasant voice was even rarer.

"Nurse, don't forget that you are here to ask for water." The woman said in an inarticulate voice.

After hearing this, Nanny Zhao knew that Miss was annoyed by her actions just now, she bowed her head back half a step and said, "Yes, this old slave has overstepped the rules."

I am used to commanding in the mansion on weekdays, and the habit of following the lady out has not changed. It was a subconscious behavior just now, but I forgot that these common people don't know the identity of the lady at all.

Wang Zhuangzhi looked at this family with a lot of attention, sighed and shook his head in his heart, hoping to send them away soon.

At this time, Rong Qingyan stepped forward, nodded and said to Wang Zhuangzhi: "Master, I want to ask for a bowl of water when I pass by here. Excuse me."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly invited and said, "Nothing, please come in, my lord."

A group of people walked in, Jiaojiao looked at them carefully.

Seeing that there was no bad breath on them, they called out "Father."

Wang Zhuangzhi saw that he was a sweetheart, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile and picked him up, looked at the people behind his father with a puzzled look, and asked in a waxy voice: "Father, what do they do? Why are they still covering their faces?" .”

Wang Zhuangzhi heard about it, and was afraid that his daughter's words and deeds would offend those people, so he hugged his daughter and said to the nobleman behind him: "My little girl is young and ignorant, please forgive me."

Liu Zhihua came out after hearing the commotion, and unfortunately, she heard what the head of the house said, and she was immediately unhappy, and she couldn't hear others saying anything bad.

While looking at the outsiders who broke in, he walked over and said dissatisfiedly: "My family is very cute and well-behaved. Look at what your father said."

Liu Zhihua took the daughter from Wang Zhuangzhi's arms, snorted angrily, and carried her directly back to the house.

The face covered by the veiled hat was full of emotions, but she hesitated to speak. She didn't speak in time just now, because she was completely dazzled by the charming girl just now.

The girl's eyebrows are eight or nine points similar to the portrait of a girl hanging in her grandmother's room.

Wang Zhuangzhi was worrying about how to explain it, and Zhao Mama at the side looked cold, and said bluntly: "Do you know what kind of status my lady is, she is polite to you, how dare you be so rude, you are so rude in the countryside. People are really savage."

Although Wang Zhuangzhi didn't know who they were, he knew it wasn't easy to mess with such an arrogant tone.

If this was the past, he naturally couldn't let them belittle him like this, but after these two days, he was really exhausted and didn't want to cause trouble again.

"People in the countryside don't understand the rules, so please don't care about it, nobles. Please sit in the yard for a while, and then go to serve water."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhuangzhi hurried to the kitchen, thinking only of getting rid of this group of people as soon as possible.

"The apology is not half-sincere, if you are not sincere, please don't add anything to the water." Zhao Mama guessed dissatisfiedly.

Rong Qingyan didn't speak, and the magpie beside her could tell that Miss Fourth was angry.

Looking at Zhao Momo who was still aggrieved, Magpie hurriedly pulled Zhao Momo, and reminded in a low voice: "Mommy, the masters are also ignorant, and they didn't mean to be unreasonable to Miss."

"Magpie, as Miss Fourth's personal maid, you actually dare to help outsiders."

"Mother Zhao."

Rong Qingyan yelled with her surname this time.

Mother Zhao knew what the young lady wanted to say, frowned and explained: "Miss Si, this old slave is doing it for your own good. Before leaving, the old lady reminded me to never let you be wronged. That woman was so helpless just now. Li pointed at Miss, why are we angry with her?"

"When traveling outside, it is safest not to reveal your identity. If you make oaths everywhere, I will be ordered to return to the capital."

Rong Qingyan's clear and light voice made Zhao Mama speechless, she shuddered, and hurriedly plopped down on the ground and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "It's the old slave who is stupid, Fourth Miss, please forgive me."

Rong Qingyan sat down with the support of her personal maid, Xi Que, and didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground.

Since he came out of the old lady's house, he has become more and more presumptuous these days.

It is also good for long-term memory.

Seeing that the young lady didn't call her up for a long time, Grandma Zhao in the underground dragged her clothes in embarrassment. She used to serve by the old lady's side, and no one dared to teach her this. Fourth Miss was very satisfied with her arrangement.

But it was because of her outspoken and wrong words the day before yesterday that caused the sixth son to leave without warning, and the fourth young lady was sullen for a whole day.

I'm going back to Beijing soon, in order to avoid Miss Fourth returning to Beijing to complain to the old lady, she had no choice but to comply with Miss Fourth's request and go up the mountain to burn incense under the surveillance of the guards.
