Chapter 302 Meeting
Mrs. Zeng held her hand, patted the back of her hand, and said comfortingly, "Grandma has a very good body and bones. That little bit of shock can't scare grandma."
"Master said that grandma must not be frightened again." Otherwise, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, he may not be able to save her.
Just now, it really scared her.
Fortunately, my grandmother's pulse was steady, so she wasn't really frightened.
But...
Xia Zihan's eyes flashed, and he ordered Chu Fei, "Go down and see what's going on?"
In addition to Xia Zihan and Zeng, there were also two maids, Chu Fei and Hongmei, in the car, while the other maids were sitting on the small carriage at the back.
When the carriage lost control just now, Hongmei couldn't help but push forward. Chu Fei quickly pulled her, so that her forehead didn't hit the lower body.
Hongmei said thank you to Chu Fei.
Chu Fei let go of his hand, opened the curtain and went down.
Outside, Chu Fei's voice loudly reprimanded the coachman, "What's going on? Okay, why did the carriage stop? It almost shocked the souls of the old lady and the county owner."
"Miss Chu Fei, the carriage suddenly broke down. This... servant didn't expect this."
The driver's voice was filled with grievances.
"How could it be broken? Didn't you check it before you came?" Chu Fei shouted displeasedly, and the coachman said submissively, "I checked it, but... the carriage suddenly breaks down, how do I know? It's a thing, and it will naturally break down after using it. Damn, you can’t blame me.”
How dare you shirk responsibility.
Chu Fei's pretty face bulged with anger, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Can it be repaired? How long will it take?"
"The wheel bar is broken. This... needs to be replaced."
This means it cannot be repaired, only replaced.
If you want to replace it, you can only go to the city to buy a new wheel bar, and the round trip will take more than an hour on horseback.
"We are almost at the foot of the mountain now. Do you want the old lady and the county master to wait for you here for more than an hour?" Chu Fei huffed and blew the cold wind angrily.
"This... this is something that can't be helped." There was no wheel bar, and even if he wanted to repair it, he couldn't.
The driver also looked embarrassed.
The old lady wanted to use the carriage yesterday, so he checked it clearly and did not see that the wheel bars were about to break, but who knew...
Just when the coachman almost cried out of grievance, someone said, "Can the carriage in front of you give way and let our wife's carriage pass?"
It was the voice of a young man. It was very clear, but a little too clear and a little sharp, which made people feel uncomfortable.
When Xia Zihan in the carriage heard this, her face suddenly changed as if struck by lightning. The moment she changed her face, she hurriedly lowered her head to hide the change on her face.
Outside, the coachman said, "Our carriage is broken and cannot be moved."
"What should I do? Your carriage is parked right in the middle of the road, and my carriage can't pass. How about moving your carriage to the side so that it doesn't block the road and prevent people from passing by."
What others say makes sense.
The driver looked at Chu Fei.
Chu Fei climbed into the carriage with a cold face and told Xia Zihan and Zeng the matter.
Mrs. Zeng said, "What they said is right. This road is not ours. We can't block other people's roads. Yu Niang, let's go down and ask the guards to move the carriage aside and let their carriage pass by."
"Yes, grandma." After Xia Zihan tried to calm down her mood, she stood up and helped Zeng out of the carriage.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but shoot to the carriage behind him.
Cao Zian, it was indeed him.
Although he was much younger than when she first met him in her previous life, she would never forget that face, those lewd eyes, and that slender mouth, even if it turned into ashes.
In her previous life, she had been husband and wife with him for five years. He was the husband who beat and scolded her for five years. He was also the executioner who ruined her peerless appearance and the bastard who manipulated her like a horse or an ox for five years.
Even if she was disfigured and burned to ashes, she would never admit her mistake.
If Xu was the mastermind behind the murder of her, then Cao Zian was the executioner with a big knife.
Her life was ruined in his hands.
Cao Zian, you are well.
What you owed me in your previous life, I want to get it all back in this life.
You, Xu, Xia Ziying, Song Huai, all of you creditors, I will not let go of any of them.
I will take back everything you owe me.
Xia Zihan gritted his teeth and swore in his heart.
And Cao Zian, who had been paying attention to their every move, saw Xia Zihan's face clearly when his gaze came over.
With a long eyebrow, white teeth and red lips, a fairy-like appearance, and a pretty face that is as refined as an orchid, even her cold temperament can capture people's souls in an instant. So beautiful.
A beauty in the world, nothing more than that.
Cao Zian was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of stunning light, and he didn't even notice the tears streaming down his face.
He Donglin led the three guards and lifted the carriage to the edge. In order to avoid an accident, he did not forget to untie the horse from the carriage and hand the reins to a small guard beside him.
He Donglin came over and said, "Old madam, County Lord, the carriage has been moved. You can get on the carriage and rest first. I will send someone to the city to buy a new wheel bar. The carriage will be here soon." Fix it.”
"Okay, let the guards come down and have a rest. We can go to Baoxiang Temple in an hour and a half." Zeng asked kindly.
"Excuse me, are they Mrs. Chu and County Lord Chu Yu?"
Just when Xia Zihan and Zeng were about to get on the carriage, Cao Zian drove the carriage over.
The carriage stopped, and Cao Zian couldn't help but glance at Xia Zihan a few more times.
Up close, the beauty becomes even more beautiful.
The skin is white and thin, and it can be broken by blows. A pair of big eyes are black and bright, as beautiful as the black ones, and that mouth...
Cao Zian was about to continue looking when suddenly, a murderous attack came, making him shiver suddenly. A stream of cold air rose from the soles of his feet and went straight to his head, making him wake up suddenly.
He heard Chu Fei ask him coldly, "Who is your family?"
"My wife is the eldest sister of Mrs. Xia Er's natal family. Her husband's surname is Cao, and she is the prefect of Qinhuaicheng." Cao Zian quickly calmed down his expression, not daring to look at Xia Zihan anymore.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Cao opened the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of her maid.
Mrs. Cao walked up to Mrs. Zeng and Xia Zihan and blessed her body respectfully, "Greetings to Mrs. Chu and greetings to County Master Chu Yu."
"What a coincidence, I met the old lady and the county lord here. I sent a post to the government a few days ago. I heard that the old lady was not feeling well. I wonder if she is feeling better now?"
"It's much better."
Hearing that she was from Xu's natal family, Zeng's expression was very cold, "Mrs. Cao, the driveway has been given away, so I'll excuse you."
She looked like she didn't want to talk to Mrs. Cao anymore, and even issued an expulsion order.
Madam Cao seemed not to understand the meaning of her words. She thought for a while and said, "Your carriage is broken. If Madam doesn't mind, you can take my carriage. This road is the only way to Baoxiang Temple." On the way, the old lady and the county leader should also go to Baoxiang Temple, we just happen to be together.”
"No need."
Zeng refused coldly and did not want to say a word more, but Mrs. Cao did not give up and said, "Old madam, it is cold in March, you..."
"Staying in the carriage won't keep my old bones cold." Mrs. Zeng interrupted her, "Mrs. Cao, it's getting late. You should go first. If you go late, you won't be able to catch up with Baoxiang Temple at noon. It’s vegetarian.”
"The vegetarian food at Baoxiang Temple is one of the first-class delicacies in the capital. To be honest with you, Madam, I came here today just for the vegetarian food at Baoxiang Temple."
Although he said this, there was no intention of leaving at all on his face, "But you want me to leave the old lady and the county master here and go eat vegetarian food alone. That vegetarian food is really the most delicious in the world. Eat I’m afraid it won’t taste good in my mouth.”
Mrs. Cao's face was full of worry, as if she was leaving behind her own mother, which made Xia Zihan's mouth twitch.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, then she smiled sweetly and said, "Mrs. Cao, in that case, please stay and wait with us."
Then he helped Zeng get into his carriage.
"But..." Before she opened the curtain and entered the carriage, she suddenly turned around and looked at Mrs. Cao, who had no time to change her expression. Her face was dark and blue, and said, "You are the one who is willing to stay and wait. No one forced you to do so." You.”
Mrs. Cao's face turned even more blue. She couldn't leave or not leave. For a moment, she dug a hole for herself. If she jumped down, she couldn't climb back up.
Cao Zian came over and whispered, "Madam, let's take a step first. There's no rush in that matter."
"Why are you not in a hurry? It's only been a year." Mrs. Cao said, "One year has passed in the blink of an eye."
"Perhaps the master has an acquaintance to ask for help. We don't necessarily have to come to Mrs. Chu to ask for help."
Just now, he clearly saw that Mrs. Chu was very disgusted with Mrs. Cao and would not try to find a relationship for the master and transfer him to the capital.
"Anyway, I won't let go of any hope." Mrs. Cao said.
Finally, she reluctantly got into her carriage.
After her carriage left, Xia Zihan helped Zeng out of the carriage and went to sit on the small carriage behind.
Four people, Qingya, Nuanyu, Sicao and Xianghua, were already sitting on the little carriage, while Mrs. Su was left in the house by Mrs. Zeng to take care of Mrs. Zhuo.
The four little maids were chatting about something funny. When they saw the master and the old lady coming up, they stopped smiling, closed their mouths, and all stood up.
"Old Madam, sit here. The slave has put a thick cushion here, so Old Madam can sit comfortably." Nuanyu helped Zeng to sit in her seat, while she and Xianghua sat together.
There were eight people sitting in a small carriage, especially the row of Nuanyu, where five people were sitting. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable to rush, but fortunately, we were almost at Baoxiang Temple, so we just had to endure it and get there.
Only Xia Zihan and Hongmei sat on Zeng's side, but it was not crowded at all. Zeng also praised Nuanyu, "This cushion is good, thick and soft, and it is comfortable to sit on."
