It's not just the Su family that is in turmoil.
The same is true in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment.
Although Wang Xiaojin had obtained the consent of Prime Minister Wang, men are in charge of external affairs and women are in charge of internal affairs, so naturally Wang Xiaojin needed to report this matter to the Prime Minister's wife.
At this moment, facing Wang Xiaojin who had reported the situation, the Prime Minister's wife did not show any strange expression, "Child, you should have told me this idea earlier. It's the same if you tell your father."
Wang Xiaojin didn't dare to look at her at all.
The Prime Minister's wife continued, "Don't worry. Although the three-day journey is not far, it is not close either. As a girl, I will make arrangements for you. Since you are leaving early tomorrow, you should rest early tonight."
Wang Xiaojin bowed politely, "Thank you, mother. I will take my leave now."
"Yes." The Prime Minister's wife nodded calmly.
After Wang Xiaojin went down, Wang Sisi, who was hiding behind the screen, came out with gritted teeth.
"Mom, Dad actually agreed to let her go visit her lowly aunt!"
"Okay, you can go down and rest too."
Wang Sisi stamped her feet, turned and left.
The Prime Minister's wife then called over the maid who was serving in Wang Xiaojin's courtyard and asked gloomily, "Has the little girl been in contact with anyone special recently?"
The old woman recalled it carefully and said, "Madam, there is none."
"No?"
"Yes, madam..." When the old woman heard the Prime Minister's wife's strange tone, a cold sweat ran down her forehead.
"Tell me everything she has done in recent days."
"Yes, ma'am..."
The maid did not dare to hide anything. Except for the times when Wang Xiaojin and Wang Sisi went out together, as a maid in the inner courtyard, she could not follow them and did not know anything. She told the Prime Minister's wife everything Wang Xiaojin did, ate, and even said in the mansion without missing a word.
"I dare not hide anything. Ever since you transferred me to the Second Young Lady's courtyard, I have not dared to neglect you in the slightest..."
A vicious look flashed across the Prime Minister's wife's eyes. Could it be that the little girl had encountered some kind of situation during the times she and Sisi went out of the house?
Although Sisi is a little willful, she is not stupid.
If that little girl really met some noble person outside, Sisi would not be completely unaware and not come back to tell others.
So, was it really a coincidence that the little girl suddenly behaved like this?
Or did you suddenly get it?
"Keep an eye on that girl from now on!"
The trembling old woman hurriedly said, "Yes, madam. I will definitely take good care of the second young lady!"
Jiuer, the culprit who had attracted special attention from some people in the Su Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, had already returned to Jinzhao Tower and was sleeping soundly.
The next day.
The people in Jinzhao Tower naturally couldn't stop Jiuer, and they had to prepare carriages, people, various snacks, and spare clothes for this little ancestor. They watched her leave in a carriage from the back door of Jinzhao Tower from upstairs.
Although Jiuer and Wang Xiaojin agreed to meet today, the farm where Wang Xiaojin's mother lived was about three days' journey from Kyoto. They set out at different times, so naturally they went their separate ways and could not meet today.
In the carriage, Jiuer snuggled in a soft pillow and ate candied fruit, while Yueer, who was leaving Beijing for the first time, curiously opened some curtains and looked around.
It was not until they had walked for half a day and hadn't met anyone on the official road for a long time and the surroundings had become much more desolate that Yue'er withdrew her head with great interest.
"Sir, Sir, the scenery outside Kyoto is different from that inside Kyoto."
Jiu Er was feeling lazy and sleepy at the moment. "Of course, every ten miles away, the weather is different, and every hundred miles away, the customs are different."
Yue'er has become much more lively these days after following Jiu'er.
"Sir, have you been to many places? Can you tell me about those places that are interesting?"
"Maybe I've been there, but I can't remember exactly. Let me think..."
Yue'er looked at her expectantly.
Just as Jiuer was searching for something interesting and fun in her mind, the coachman outside suddenly let out a "whoosh" and the carriage slowly stopped.
Yue'er heard the coachman seemed to be talking to someone, so she lifted the curtain to see.
The wheel of a horse-drawn carriage in front broke, and a man who looked like a coachman was sweating profusely, and was at a loss as to what to do.
"Sir, someone's carriage has broken down ahead."
Jiuer sat up slowly and looked outside, "Let me take a look."
Jiuer glanced up and down at the driver, then asked her own driver, "What's going on?"
"Sir, this fellow's carriage broke down. Their destination is the same as ours, so they would like to ask if we can give them a ride..."
The anxious driver, sweating profusely, quickly bowed and took over the conversation, "Sir, I am sorry to bother you. It is true that our boss has urgent business to go to Rong County and cannot delay. This carriage is broken again... We have been walking for most of the day, and it is too late to return to Jingdou to find a new carriage and horses to continue. I wonder if this young man can help me?"
Just as he finished speaking, a cough was heard from the carriage over there.
The driver quickly lifted the curtain and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Ayi, you can't force the other party if he doesn't want to." The young man's voice from the carriage sounded a little weak, but it was surprisingly not unpleasant, like a soft feather gently touching one's heartstrings.
"But the boss..."
"Hey, you guys in the carriage over there." Jiu'er said to the carriage with a smile, "I agree to give you a ride."
The coughing in the carriage stopped, and the driver's face was full of gratitude.
"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you so much. But I won't need it. There are so many of us in one carriage, and one horse may not be able to handle it. You can just take our boss with you. I will wait here for someone to come and repair the carriage, and then I will catch up with you." said the coachman.
Jiuer didn't care, "Okay."
The driver then said to the people in the carriage, "Master, this kind-hearted young man has agreed to help. I will help you down first."
Jiuer and Yueer stared at each other's carriage.
The carriage curtain was opened by a slender and beautiful hand, and the Western Region incense in the carriage floated out faintly like a light cloud.
It's like lifting a charming, elegant and confusing veil.
Revealing the young man with a sickly pale face.
The man in the light purple robe was taken down by the driver. Although he looked pale, he was a little taller than the tall driver.
The little girl Yue'er was stunned. This man's face was just ordinary, but why did people feel unable to take their eyes off him?
Jiuer also stared at the man's face.
The sickly man in the purple robe turned his head slightly away and said, "I'm sorry, did my sick appearance scare you two little brothers?"
Jiu'er's eyes curved, "What a coincidence, I know medical skills."
A moment later, the man got into Jiuer and her friends' carriage.
After introducing themselves to each other, Jiuer kept staring at the other person. Just when he was about to turn his head away, Jiuer smiled and said, "Brother Chu, it's fate that we meet. How about I take your pulse?"
"No need, Brother Jiu. It's just an old illness. It's nothing serious."
Although it was still the pleasant sound of gentle breeze and drizzle, the sound seemed to have some other meaning in it.
"Oh, what a pity. I think I should be a doctor, but it seems that I haven't examined anyone's body for a long time. I originally wanted to practice on you." Jiuer looked regretful.
"Hehe...sorry." The other person smiled gently and harmlessly.
Jiuer is no longer sleepy now and is full of energy.
"By the way, Brother Chu, your driver calls you the boss, does your family run a shop?"
"I opened a small bookstore in Kyoto."
"Yeah, I like reading. What's the name of your bookstore? I'll go there and take care of your business when I return to Beijing."
"Once a bookstore."
The other party had just finished speaking, and this time Yue'er, who was unable to get a word in, was the first to be surprised.
Yidu Bookstore! That’s not a small bookstore!
Even she, a maid working in a brothel, had heard that it was the largest and best bookstore in Kyoto, and the one where scholars and writers gathered most frequently!
Many rare books are only available in this bookstore and are priceless!
Although people often talk about YiDu Bookstore, few people talk about its owner behind the scenes. Could it be the sick Mr. Chu in front of us?
…
As for Mr. Chu's coachman, who was still packing up the carriage, saw that Jiuer and her group's carriage gradually disappeared from his sight, and then he scratched his messy hair in confusion.
Although the master was indeed going to Rongcheng to do some business, it was on the same route for Miss Jiu.
But I have to break my own carriage and ride on Miss Jiu's carriage...
It is indeed something that only the Lord can do...
