Chapter 716: Xiaobao who followed
Gu Yuanniang was a little annoyed by Xu Qingshan's long-winded words, and waved her hand at him impatiently: "Go in quickly, I will definitely take good care of myself."
Xu Qingshan then watched Gu Yuanniang get on the carriage reluctantly. Xu Miaomiao sat in the carriage, took two deep breaths, slowly lifted the curtain, glanced at Song Wushao, and then lowered the curtain. She stood at the gate of the Song Mansion in a white gown, with no expression on her face, except for a few wrinkles between her ordinary brows. Xu Miaomiao knew that Song Wushao was not in a very good mood, but he had no way to leave here, so he could only watch Xu Miaomiao leave.
Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath and leaned back in her chair. Gu Yuanniang, who was standing beside her, said, "We are going to the capital this time, not to Nanxiang. Why are you reluctant to leave?"
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Gu Yuanniang and turned her head to the side: "Who is reluctant to leave? I think you and Mr. Xu are the ones who are reluctant to leave, right?"
These words made both of them feel uncomfortable. Gu Yuanniang also blushed. Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was leaning against the carriage in silence, he did not say anything else.
On the way to the capital, they had to pass through a forest. Xu Miaomiao perked up as soon as she entered the forest.
Because they had been attacked in the woods before. If it weren't for Dabao and Li Yi, they didn't know what would have happened to those people.
So since entering the forest, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She lifted the curtain and the birds outside looked no different than usual.
Xu Miaomiao looked back and saw the gears on the ground, and was indeed lost in thought. He immediately said, "Stop the car."
Gu Yuanniang was drowsy, but was immediately awakened by what Xu Miaomiao said.
Puzzled, he looked at Xu Miaomiao beside him and asked, "Miaomiao, what's wrong? What happened? Why did you stop suddenly? If we can hurry up now, maybe we can reach the next town before dark."
Xu Miaomiao did not answer Gu Yuanniang's words, but pointed at the deep shadows behind the carriage, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Sixth Lady, look."
Gu Yuanniang tilted her head in confusion at Xu Miaomiao's words. She didn't feel anything different. Xu Miaomiao said, "There are only four of us in the carriage. The two of us are sitting inside, while Xuguo and Xiaosi are driving the carriage outside. Why are the wheels so deep? It shouldn't be like this."
Gu Yuanniang listened to Xu Miaomiao's words and looked at the wheels behind the car. She indeed felt a little puzzled. They didn't bring much with them this time. Just two sets of simple clothes and some money for food on the road. They didn't bring anything else. The gears of this car were indeed a bit deep. Although it was not obvious, it was still visible.
"Hush!" Gu Yuanniang suddenly became a little nervous, afraid that someone had sneaked into the back of the carriage, and she couldn't help but hold Xu Miaomiao's hand tightly. Xuguo and Xiaosi outside didn't know what had happened.
Xu Miaomiao just said: "Okay, let's rest under the tree over here."
After listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Xu Gu jumped out of the car and helped Xu Miaomiao down. After everyone walked under the tree, Xu Miaomiao told Xu Guo about this matter. Xu Guo was also a little shocked. Dabao also taught him a few tricks these days. If he met only one person, he would be able to handle it.
Looking at Xu Miaomiao, he said, "Sister Xu, you must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."
Xu Miaomiao held him with some worry, afraid that Xuguo couldn't handle it alone. However, Xuguo gave him a reassuring look and told Xu Miaomiao not to worry and to walk to the back of the carriage, where there was a box containing things needed to make the coins.
When Xuguo opened the box, he quietly clenched his hands. The short dagger at the back was also given to him by Dabao. Because the two of them could not go to the capital, he gave that thing to Xuguo and asked him to protect the safety of Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang. Since there was danger, Xuguo would naturally be the first to rush in. He opened the box carefully, looked at the clothes on it nervously, and moved. Xuguo raised the dagger high, ready to stab it at any time, but saw a young hand stretched out, and saw the chain on the palm. Xu Miaomiao looked familiar and immediately shouted: "Xuguo, stop!"
Fortunately, the dagger was taken back in time. Xiaobao poked out his little head, stared at Xu Miaomiao with watery eyes, and called "Mom" softly.
Gu Yuan's mother immediately took Xiao Bao out and said to him, "Why did you come here? Why are you hiding in this box?"
Xiao Bao was caught, and he looked at Gu Yuan Niang with a bit of embarrassment, "I know it's not good for me to do this, but I really want to go to the capital to have a look."
"Then what about your Qinggong? Aren't you going to study those lessons?" Gu Yuan's mother asked Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao really saw that his life was sincere and spoke: "I have asked the master, and the master said that as long as I practice diligently every day, I will not miss anything when I return. Mother, don't worry, I will practice hard in the future and will not fall behind every day."
Seeing Xiaobao's look, Xu Miaomiao also sighed and nodded: "Then let's go together. Don't hide in this box anymore in the future."
Xu Miaomiao was indeed a little scared. There were so many clothes in the box. What if she couldn't breathe? Xu Miaomiao was a little scared when she thought about it. Xiaobao did shake his head: "It's okay, mother, I remember everything you taught me, and I won't let anything happen to me."
Xu Miaomiao sighed and looked at him: "You!"
Xu Miaomiao had guessed a little about the purpose of Xiaobao's trip to the capital this time. It was probably for the little princess. After all, he was in the capital. It was a pity that one was inside the palace walls and the other was outside the palace walls. They probably had no chance to meet. But if Xiaobao knew what Xu Miaomiao was thinking, he would only think that Xu Miaomiao was thinking too much.
The three of them packed up briefly and got into the carriage together. It was originally a small carriage, and Xu Xi was holding the pipa in her hand. After Xiao Bao got in, the carriage became more crowded: "Sister Xu, there are two people waving in front, should we stop our carriage?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Why stop for no reason? Let's just go."
Although he said that, Xu Miaomiao still lifted the curtain and took a look outside the carriage, but this one look gave him a fright.
