Chapter 163 Dog Training
Shanglin Paddock is not close to the capital, and the imperial carriage does not travel very fast, so it will take at least two days and one night to travel the distance, and it will arrive around noon the next day.
The setting sun was as red as blood, and half of the sky was dyed a brilliant crimson.
The team stopped and was destined to sleep outdoors tonight.
The guards were preparing the tents. Qiao Wanyan and He Baozhu did not get off the carriage. Guo Licheng came over to pay his respects and was kept by He Baozhu to play cards together.
He Baozhu didn't know much about the ancient leaf cards, but after learning for a while, she had mastered the techniques.
Of course, Qiao Wanyan didn't have the patience, but Guo Licheng explained it patiently and carefully. If he couldn't understand it once, he would explain it twice, and he finally taught him.
Guo Licheng was considered an expert at playing mahjong at home, but now he only won one game out of ten against the two of them.
"I'm not as smart as the princess and the second young lady. This leaf card is too difficult."
Qiao Wanyan said calmly: "Although you know how to play leaf cards, you still need talent to win when you really play."
Guo Licheng nodded and smiled, "Second Miss is right. I always have trouble remembering the cards. My talent is much worse than Second Miss's."
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Wanyan's lips. This Guo Licheng was clearly a master of leaf cards, and he was just deliberately giving in to herself and the Tenth Princess.
The method of flattering people deliberately without showing it is clever and not annoying.
"I've been coughing for so long. Princess and Second Miss, why don't you try the new tea I brought from home? Although it's definitely not as good as what you two usually drink, it's worth a try."
He Baozhu won several times the first time she played, and now she was in a good mood and forgot about hating this Fruity Orange.
"Okay, I'm actually a little thirsty."
Guo Licheng got off the carriage and paused slightly when he saw a handsome man of similar age walking towards him.
Qiao Jibai didn't recognize the woman who got off the carriage, but he still nodded slightly and greeted her. He walked to the side of the carriage, and a warm voice came out of his throat.
"Sister Wanyan, I'm Qiao Jibai from the second house. The tents are ready, you can come over and rest anytime."
The second branch of the family also went along as a court minister this time, so the task of setting up camp for the Qiao family was naturally taken over by the second branch of the family.
Qiao Wanyan did not respond, so Zi Yuan spoke up, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Qiao Jibai was not angry, but the maid replied, her face still gentle, "No need to thank me, I will leave first."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Guo Licheng looked at his back and asked, "Ziyuan, was that person from the second branch of the Qiao family?"
Zi Yuan nodded, "Yes, the bastard of the second house."
Guo Licheng retracted his gaze. Bastard?
The bright full moon in the moonlight sky is like a flawless jade plate, pouring down cool and soft silver light, giving all things a faint halo.
It was late at night and Lu Jinye walked into the tent.
Looking at Qiao Wanyan who was reading a book with one hand, he was silent for a long time before speaking, "Antidote."
Qiao Wanyan sneered, "How much self-control do you have? Your body must be in pain, right?"
Although he looked calm, he must be in a lot of pain. The poison he got from Yun Heng must be too strong for ordinary people to bear.
However, Lu Jinye could still endure so much. It was indeed because he suffered too much in his daily life and had developed some resistance.
Lu Jinye didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. His face was a little pale and bloodless, and he looked sick and dying.
Qiao Wanyan put down the book in her hand and said, "Come here and call out twice for the master to hear."
Jin, who had just come in to give her daughter a bowl of calming soup, stopped immediately when she heard this and stood at the door staring at Qiao Wanyan.
The scene suddenly became awkward.
The air was as silent as death, and one could clearly hear a pin drop.
Then, an untimely cry was heard.
"Woof."
Jin: “….”
Jin looked at Lu Jinye with a look full of strange shock, and then looked at her precious daughter.
"Mom." Qiao Wanyan spoke weakly.
Jin suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Haha, Yanyan, mother is here to bring you a bowl of soothing soup. Drink it and go to bed early, because you have to get up early tomorrow morning to travel."
After saying that, he turned around and left the tent.
He walked several feet before he stopped, supported by the maid beside him, and looked back.
Oh my God, does my daughter usually have such exciting fun?
Didn't she say she was going to marry the prince? Why is she moving towards keeping a concubine?
Jin drank the calming soup in her hand in one gulp. She felt that she would not be able to sleep tonight if she didn't drink it.
"Who is that Lu Jinye?"
The maid said, "Madam, when the second young lady came back from Yongzhou, she brought that man with her as a close bodyguard. I heard that he was bought because of his good skills. I heard Ziyuan talk about him before, and he seemed to be an orphan."
Jin let out a long sigh, "If he is a quiet and obedient man, it would be fine for him to stay with Yanyan. But if Yanyan still wants to marry the prince, then Lu Jinye should not appear by Yanyan's side."
If Yanyan married into the Eastern Palace in the future, she would have no time to do something as exciting as today. Her scalp tingled just thinking about it.
"What the lady means is..."
The maid turned her head to glance at the tent in the distance, and directly dealt with Lu Jinye to prevent future troubles?
Jin was silent for a moment. "Forget it. Let me discuss it with her father first. Even if we want to deal with Lu Jinye, we have to ask Yanyan's opinion."
At that time, inside the tent, Qiao Wanyan threw the scroll in her hand at Lu Jinye, "Why are you yelling?"
He screamed like that in front of my mother. He did it on purpose!
Why didn't it bark when he was asked to do so? It was because he normally wouldn't bark that I thought it was fun and teased the dog on purpose.
Lu Jinye said calmly: "It was the master who told me to shout, not to shout randomly."
Qiao Wanyan was so angry that she laughed, "Okay, okay, since you are so sensible, I will definitely give you a reward. Ziyuan, go get the short whip."
Zi Yuan: "Miss, we didn't bring a whip this time."
Qiao Wanyan said: "Jiang Qiyun has it, go borrow it."
Zi Yuan nodded in agreement and turned to leave the tent. After finding the tent of Marquis Jing'an, she reported to the servant at the door. A moment later, she saw Jiang Qiyun coming out.
"What are you doing? What is Qiao Wanyan trying to do so late at night?"
Zi Yuan said, "My young lady wants to borrow a short whip from the young marquis."
"What do you want to borrow the whip for?" Jiang Qiyun looked puzzled.
“Dog training.”
Jiang Qiyun was silent for a moment, "She didn't seem to be traveling with the dog, right?"
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Just wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around and rushed into the tent. When he came out, he had a short whip in his hand.
"Come on, come on, I'll deliver it to your young lady myself!"
