Chapter 19 You Don’t Understand the Sufferings of the World
After lunch, everyone set off.
Lu Sui arranged someone to drive the carriage for Jiang Yueyao and the others. At first, Jiang Yueyao stayed obediently in her carriage, but after two days, she could no longer sit still.
Compared to Lord Lu's luxurious carriage, her simple carriage was simply unbearable.
In addition, the room was filled with luggage and there were three people sitting in it, so they couldn't even stretch their legs straight. After sitting there for two days, not only did Jiang Yueyao feel uncomfortable all over, but Sulan and Cui Xiangxiang also beat their legs and rubbed their waists from time to time, and their whole bodies felt like they were falling apart.
On the third night, the group settled in a small town and prepared to find an inn to rest for the night before setting off early the next morning.
During the meal, Jiang Yueyao and Lu Sui sat at the same table.
She seemed particularly attentive tonight.
She served him soup, picked up some vegetables for him, and even peeled the shrimps herself and put them on the plate in front of him. When she saw that he had finished eating the rice, she immediately took the bowl and gave him another one.
Lu Sui glanced at her.
The voice is light.
"I have hands, I don't need you to serve me."
"Wouldn't it smell better if someone was serving you?" Jiang Yueyao carefully picked out the green onions and ginger from the steamed fish balls and put them aside, then scooped two fish balls for him and placed them on the plate in front of him.
Seeing him eat it, she smiled flatteringly.
"Sir, wouldn't it be lonely for you to ride alone in such a big carriage?"
Lu Sui didn't even raise his head: "No."
"Don't be embarrassed. If you feel lonely, I can accompany you..."
"Need not!"
"Of course I use it." Jiang Yueyao really admired her ability to cling to people. "I can tell all kinds of jokes and stories, like Widow Wang and the butcher next door, the scholar and the little fox, and Jinlian and Dalang..."
Lu Sui put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
He looked up at Jiang Yueyao, and his slender fingers lightly tapped the teacup beside him.
Jiang Yueyao understood what he meant and immediately poured him a cup of hot tea.
Lu Sui took it, rinsed his mouth, drank half a cup of tea, and then looked at her and spoke slowly.
"Tell me, why do you insist on riding in my carriage?"
Jiang Yueyao smiled embarrassedly.
"My carriage is too small, and there are a lot of things in it. It's too crowded for three people to sit in it."
Lu Sui remained unmoved.
"Just buy another carriage. Why go through so much trouble?"
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I just like being close to you, sir." Jiang Yueyao started to be shameless again. As she spoke, she gave him a charming glance, "Is it okay, sir-----"
The voice is so delicate.
Lu Sui couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and left.
Jiang Yueyao followed him eagerly: "Are you really unwilling?"
"I swear, I won't bother you."
"My lord, my lord..."
Lu Sui suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at her, his face expressionless.
"Jiang Yueyao, don't push your luck."
Jiang Yueyao became good in a second.
"Oh, okay. Take care, sir. I'll go on and have dinner."
She turned back to the table without looking at him again.
Lu Sui couldn't help but sneer and went upstairs.
Jiang Yueyao's plan to ride in a luxury car failed, and she immediately put the matter behind her and stopped thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, there was a new carriage at the door.
Qingshu smiled and said to Jiang Yueyao, "The master prepared this specially for you. Would you like to take a look?"
Jiang Yueyao's eyes lit up.
She thought Lu Sui was just talking casually yesterday, but who knew he was serious.
Now I am really happy.
She got into the carriage, holding her skirt.
The carriage was much more spacious than her own, and the interior was extremely comfortably furnished, with cushions, pillows, a tea stove, and a small table. It had everything she wanted.
Jiang Yueyao sat on the cushion, which was soft and comfortable.
She happily opened the curtain and was about to talk to Qingshu, but saw Lu Sui walking out of the inn.
"Sir," she called to him, quickly got off the carriage, and trotted towards him happily, "Thank you for the carriage you prepared for me. I like it very much."
Lu Sui's eyebrows remained motionless.
His thin lips parted slightly.
"This carriage cost me two hundred taels. You can give the money to Qingshu later." After he said that, he walked towards his carriage.
Jiang Yueyao was dumbfounded.
She hurriedly chased after him: "Two hundred taels, you are trying to steal the silver."
"Besides, didn't you buy this carriage for me?"
"Taking the initiative? If you didn't insist on riding in my carriage, why would I bother?"
"...That can't be two hundred taels, right?" Jiang Yueyao felt a little pained. "Given our relationship, how about giving me a discount, fifty taels?"
Lu Sui stood on the shaft of the carriage, with his hands behind his back, looking down from above.
"If you don't want to sit, I'll have someone leave now."
"...One hundred taels!" Jiang Yueyao refused to give up.
"Qingshu." Lu Sui ordered him, "Go and retreat..."
"Oh my, it was just a joke, sir, why did you take it so seriously?" Jiang Yueyao hurriedly smiled and said, "Two hundred taels is two hundred taels, but I don't have any money now. I'll pay you back when I earn some money in the future."
"Is Boss Jiang so poor?"
"Hmm~" Jiang Yueyao pursed her lips in a bitter voice, "Being hunted, leaving home, all alone..."
"But I heard that you sold the Jixiang Inn for five thousand taels of silver?"
“…”
This Liu Yunyan is such a gossip, she must have spread it.
But she still held her pockets tightly.
"I'll keep this money for something useful." Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Sui, "My lord, think about it. When I go to the capital, I'll need a place to live. I heard that the rent in the capital is ridiculously expensive, and I don't know if this money will be enough."
Lu Sui sneered: "You have considered everything."
"I'm with Sister Lan and Aunt Xiang now, so I have to be more thoughtful about everything." She sighed heavily, "Sir, you come from a noble family and don't understand the hardships we poor people face."
She opened her mouth, wanted to say something, then shook her head slightly.
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you..."
She sighed softly, turned around and walked towards her carriage, and it seemed that even her steps were very difficult.
Lu Sui looked at her listless back, knowing that she was acting, but still couldn't help herself.
"I'll give you a half discount, one hundred taels."
Jiang Yueyao paused, turned around suddenly, and looked at her small face which was the size of a palm.
Her eyebrows were curved and the corners of her mouth were raised high.
He looks like a little fox who has succeeded in his evil plan.
"make a deal."
"Thank you, sir."
"My Lord, you are so kind. I will be devoted to you forever."
Lu Sui: "Don't use idioms carelessly."
"Yes, as you command."
Seeing him enter the carriage, Jiang Yueyao shook her head happily.
This made Qingshu, who was standing beside him, laugh.
"As expected, there is no business without fraud. Boss Jiang is amazing. You even dared to bargain for the price of the Grand Tutor."
"Qingshu, you don't understand the sufferings of the world..."
Qingshu turned around and ran, fearing that if he was too slow, the silver in his pocket would fly into her hands.
…
The new carriage was very spacious.
Jiang Yueyao asked Sulan and Cui Xiangxiang to get in, and the other carriage was used to carry the luggage.
After another five days of travel, they were about to reach the capital when an accident happened.
On this day, the team passed by a place called Sishui in Yongzhou, which was more than 200 kilometers away from the capital. Lu Sui received an order from His Majesty, asking him to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Therefore, the group rushed to the capital city day and night without stopping.
It was late at night when we passed through Surabaya.
Jiang Yueyao was sleeping soundly on Aunt Xiang's lap when suddenly a horse neighed and the carriage stopped abruptly. Her body tilted and she rolled off the small couch.
With a bang, his head hit the car wall.
At the same time, Xiaoxi's voice came from outside.
"Girl, don't come out. There are assassins."
Jiang Yueyao was so stunned by the blow that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of fierce swords clashing outside that she suddenly opened her eyes wide...
assassin?
Who to kill?
Could it be that Pei Yu, that bastard, sent someone to kill her again?
