Chengde Summer Palace was not far from the capital, about two hundred miles away. However, because of the slow speed, it would take two or three days, or even longer, to get there. In such weather, it must be uncomfortable to sleep in the open. However, this group of people were either members of the royal family or high-ranking officials and nobles. With a group of people serving them, they could even bathe eight times a day properly, let alone eat, drink, go to the toilet and sleep. Of course, this was just a saying. Even the King of Hell would not be so crazy. Compared with when they were at home, everything was about the same. However, this was only Jingwan's thought. Along the way, there were all kinds of complaints.
Fortunately, a lot of things had been taken away by the servants in advance to thoroughly clean up the residence of the summer palace. At the same time, everything had been settled. Otherwise, it would have been even more infuriating.
This time, the masters of the Luo Family who went to Chengde Summer Palace for the summer could be counted with one hand.
In the first branch, because little Wang was about to give birth, Wang naturally could not leave. Her husband, Luo Rongwen, was an official, so he was not in the entourage. Luo Rongwei was also on an errand at present, needless to say, Luo Rongping. With his condition, it was better for him to stay at home. Nominally, Liu had to take care of him. The one who was relatively free was Luo Rongyan, who had a nominal position. However, he seemed to be stimulated and now began to work hard. Even if he did not like those things in the officialdom, he forced himself to slowly accept them. Like Zhang, Madam Wu was reluctant to leave her husband. Therefore, the eight people of their generation did not go. Naturally, Madam Luo and the concubines and so on were even less likely to have a chance.
As for the younger generation, except for Jingwan and Luo Jingbo, the others did not go. The reason was very simple. Their parents did not go. If they went, wouldn't the old madam take care of them? Madam Luo's health looked good. However, after Luo Peishan learned that he almost died a few years ago, he did not dare to let her tire herself out. Therefore, except for those who did not need to worry, everyone stayed at home obediently. The only ones who did not need to worry and could leave at all were Jingwan, Luo Jingbo, and Sun Yijia.
Although Madam Luo did not say anything, it was not bad.
Therefore, along the way, the Luo family could be said to be the most easy-going family.
Although Jingwan tried her best to integrate into this world and did not need to look at the people under the feudal imperial society as equals, most of the time, she still tried her best to be considerate of the people who served her. If the people who served them worked hard, then the servants who served them must work even harder. Even at the moment, whether they were served or served, their status had already determined everything. If they were taken for granted, Jingwan still could not completely synchronize with their thoughts.
Jingwan had been by Madam Luo's side for so many years. Madam Luo was more or less influenced by Jingwan. She did not deliberately do anything and acted naturally. It seemed that when she saw too many people wandering around in front of her, she became more annoyed and irritable.
Sun Yijia had been with Jingwan for a long time and was also imperceptibly influenced.
Therefore, while the servants of other families were busy with work, the Luo family's section was much quieter. The servants even had time to stay in the carriage to enjoy the cool air and chat with each other. Even if they had something to do, there was no sign of them being in a hurry.
Sun Yijia's servant girls gathered together with Jingwan. "Third Young Lady has always been like this?" They asked curiously.
"Hmm?" She did not quite understand what they meant.
Therefore, the other party pointed to the family behind the Luo family. The carriages were moving forward, but the servants had to run in front and back. Their clothes had long been soaked in sweat. The status of the servants in charge of running was relatively low among the servants. They looked like they were mostly twelve or thirteen years old.
Jingwan's servant girls could not help but laugh. "Our Young Lady has always been very good. She has a good temper and is generous to us. She never loses her temper. Even to us, as servants, she is very considerate. If there is a small illness or pain, she will give us leave. Usually, she will also say that we will take turns to take leave. I think there is no master better to serve than our Young Lady."
They had always known this, but they had never experienced it more deeply than now.
Hearing their words, Sun Yijia's servant girls were a little envious. However, their Young Lady was actually very good, and now there was a tendency for her to be closer to Third Young Lady. It was their blessing to be able to serve such a master.
However, a certain mama who also happened to hear these words thought more. However, if they only had this side of leniency, they probably wouldn't be able to raise these servant girls who were strict with themselves. Even if Qing Ju's temperament was a bit jumpy, she wouldn't be careless in the things that she should do.
At this moment, the carriages stopped. It was obvious that Le Chengdi was making trouble again.
Qing Ju stretched her head out to look. Seeing the wet nurse in the carriage in front of them getting off and walking towards them, she hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that she knew and did not need to come over. "I will go and see the Young Lady first. You guys prepare some iced fruits for the Young Lady. Also, go and find out how long we will stop. If it is long, find a place outside and open an umbrella." Qing Ju said and then got off the carriage.
The others also quickly took action.
Because she had been in the carriage for a long time, Jingwan was a little carsick. However, she still stayed quietly and did not cause trouble for others. Before she left, Nanny Gong and the others had already prepared a lot of food for her. They were especially particular about the food. Sun Yijia benefited a lot from the food. She was pregnant, so it was naturally more difficult for her. But, when they were preparing, Jingwan had already prepared a portion for her. She seemed to be in good spirits, much better than Jingwan.
Luo Jingbo and Sun Yijia were very grateful. This little sister was so considerate. Jingwan just smiled. Anyway, she was going to use it herself, and sister-in-law was just incidental. They knew very well whether it was incidental or not. She could have told them in advance and let them prepare it themselves. But in fact, some of the things that Nanny Gong and the others prepared were specially for Sun Yijia.
In fact, Jingwan really felt that it was too troublesome to ask her brother and sister-in-law to prepare another set of things. Anyway, she had to prepare more at one time. It would save her a lot of trouble. There were not many things that were specially prepared for Sun Yijia.
Sun Yijia's wet nurse and the others all saw this and were very grateful. After Sun Yijia's wet nurse who specially served her in this aspect was driven away, they had been learning. But after all, they did not have enough time to learn many things. Moreover, Nanny Gong, an etiquette instructor, seemed to be omniscient in this aspect. At this time, they did not care so much and hurriedly asked for advice. Nanny Gong was not stingy.
Sun Yijia stayed in Jingwan's carriage because Jingwan's carriage was not only comfortable, but also not so bumpy. In fact, when they left the capital, Jingwan had already prepared to give half of it to her. Even if she did not stay, she would have let her stay.
She leaned comfortably and took a nap like this for a while. "Looking at it now, Jin Qinwang is not that bad. Wan meimei, don't you think so?"
Jingwan closed her eyes and faintly made an 'en' sound.
Sun Yijia could not tell if she was really responding to her or if she was just being perfunctory. Sun Yijia saw that she suddenly became so "delicate". Thinking about it, it also made people's heart ache. "Wan meimei, the carriages have stopped. Do you want to go down for a walk?"
"Wait a moment, let's see how long it will be."
When Sun Yijia heard this, she did not move. She looked at the decorations on the roof of the carriage and suddenly became interested. She carefully looked at the layout of the carriage. A lot of things looked ordinary, but if you paid a little attention, you would find that there was not a single thing that was ordinary. Ivory mats were considered extravagant in Duke Ding's fu, but they were directly used to cushion the ground. When she first came in, she did not notice it. When she noticed it, the corners of her mouth could not help but twitch.
And this couch, she did not know what was inside the cushion. It was soft and cool. Under the cushion, Sun Yijia reached out and touched it. The edges were very smooth. Because it was covered, Sun Yijia did not know what material it was made of. She simply lifted it from the bottom to take a look. Then, Sun Yijia silently put it down.
Cool jade, it was actually cool jade that was even rarer than warm jade. The entire bottom of the couch was covered with it.
As for the other things, Sun Yijia did not want to continue looking. If she continued to look, she, who grew up in a rich nest, would be jealous.
Should it be said that he was worthy of being called the richest and most prodigal Jin Qinwang? Just the things that were on the surface, Sun Yijia slightly estimated. His mother, the value was already more than a million taels of silver.
That's right, this carriage was sent over by Li Hongyuan a day before they set off. From the outside, it looked very ordinary and suited Jing Wan's status. But inside, those who didn't know what was good for them didn't care, but those who knew what was good for them felt like they were blind.
When Old Madam Luo saw this carriage, she was also silent for a while. However, she heard that this carriage had been specially modified so that it would not be so bumpy. She thought about how her own granddaughter had been sitting in this carriage for a long time and thought about the matter of Jin Qinwang. No matter how much he cared about Wan Wan, his bad reputation was something that he owed Wan Wan. Moreover, Wan Wan was his daughter-in-law from outside. No matter how good he was to Wan Wan, it was only right that he treated her well. Thus, he impolitely waved his hand and let Jingwan take it.
Jingwan did not look carefully at the things on the carriage. In any case, she had seen the extravagance of Li Hongyuan's carriage. Naturally, she did not pay much attention to it. What she cared about was also the "shock absorption" effect. However, for Jingwan, Jin Qinwang was actually just a person that she knew. It was more special. Aside from the status of being engaged, there was also a very intimate contact. Even so, there was still no way for her to calmly accept his things. Although in Qi Yuan, after an engagement, giving some things would not be criticized, but what Jin Qinwang did for her was considered considerate and thoughtful. To a certain extent, for example, it was usually two families who gave gifts during the New Year. What he did was a bit excessive.
However, seeing that her grandmother accepted it without saying anything, Jingwan did not say much. In any case, the one who enjoyed it in the end would be herself. If she used all sorts of excuses to brush away Jin Qinwang's face, it would not only make things difficult for him, it would also make her seem pretentious. She did not want to be a "slut". Even after she found out the value of this carriage, she was silent for a moment and did some calculations. En, she was given a luxurious carriage that was probably worth a few hundred million yuan. When she thought about how the other party's net worth was in the tens or hundreds of billions, to him, this was probably just a drop in the ocean. Thus, Jingwan calmed down.
Fortunately, Li Hongyuan's goal was to make Jingwan feel more comfortable and did not think of pleasing her. Otherwise, Jingwan's reaction would probably be so cold that he would be depressed again.
However, Li Hongyuan also knew that Jingwan did not really care about material things. If it was good or fine, she could enjoy it. If it was bad or rough, she would not complain or refuse. It all depended on the environment. Therefore, if he wanted to use ordinary means like clothes and jewelry to please her, it was basically impossible.
Sun Yijia closed her eyes to avoid being annoyed. Seeing that Jin Qinwang's current performance was still barely acceptable, she decided to say less bad things about him. Of course, just this was definitely not enough. That rotten virtue of being fond of beauty was the key point. Thinking of this, Sun Yijia was stuffy again. Even if he was a Qinwang, couldn't he be a bit more clean?
There was a rustling sound outside. Very quickly, the inner curtain was lifted. Qing Zhu had already taken off her embroidered shoes. She first greeted Sun Yijia, then walked to Jingwan's side and whispered, "Miss, are you still uncomfortable?"
Jingwan opened her eyes, "It's okay. Do you know how long it will be? "
"I already went to ask. Does Miss want to eat some fruit? "
"Don't eat too much."
"Don't worry, I know your habits. How about this servant read a passage to you now? "When the carriage was moving, reading a book hurt the eyes. Miss never let them read at that time.
"Not for the time being." Jingwan sat up, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"Anyone with discerning eyes can see that I am definitely better than you." Sun Yijia teased.
"Then it's fine." Jingwan said without thinking. Pregnant people fainted more easily. This was an indisputable fact. But now, she was even more delicate than pregnant women. Jingwan was also helpless.
Qing Zhu covered her mouth and laughed. She took the round fan and gently fanned Jingwan.
Because Sun Yijia was pregnant, there was no ice basin in the carriage. However, the inside of the carriage was much cooler than outside, so she wouldn't sweat if she stayed inside quietly. Because of this, Sun Yijia decided to stay. Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to let Jingwan suffer without ice along with her. Sun Yijia had been puzzled before. Her carriage didn't have this effect. Now, she suspected that under the ivory mat, there was also cold jade.
"Fan Sister-in-law. Pregnant people get hot easily."
As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was lifted again. This time, there were several people.
"Miss, Third Young Madam, there is a message from the front. There is a forest ahead. His Majesty thinks the scenery is good, so he asked us to stop. He said that we will continue after lunch. This servant will ask someone to hold up the umbrella. Come down and sit for a while. "
There were still two hours before lunch. Moreover, even if the forest was big enough, could the carriage go deep into it? As expected of the Emperor, he would never consider the feelings of others, nor would he consider the feelings of others. He was really not an ordinary kind of willfulness.
This stop would take at least four hours. They could not stay in the carriage for long.
The wet nurse and the maidservant quickly prepared the things outside.
Unlike other families, who had to spend time and effort to set up a shelter, they only had a big umbrella. With Sister Hei and Baishao, they did not need to spend much effort to set up the umbrella. Then, they laid out a mat, a low table, a chair, tea and snacks, a fruit plate, and even quickly made a vase with materials from the ground.
Sun Yijia saw the whole process. Speaking of which, the other families had not set up the pillars yet, but it was all done here. Moreover, it was a few servant girls who looked equally delicate.
Sun Yijia turned to look at Jingwan. She felt that this result must have something to do with Sister Wan. Tsk, she was indeed different. It was obviously a very simple thing, but others could not think of it.
"Sister-in-law, don't be in a daze. Let's go." Jingwan looked at Sun Yijia's admiring eyes and found it amusing. Was it necessary? She just made it according to the beach sunbathing in her previous life.
When the two of them got out of the carriage, Luo Jingbo also came over. When he saw that the shelter was ready, he glanced at Jingwan. "Just now, I asked Grandmother if I should ask someone to set up a shelter. Grandmother said that I don't need to worry about it. Little Sister, you will get it ready. I was thinking that how could I let you do this kind of thing. In the end, I am the one who is idling."
Jingwan rolled her eyes at him. "Little Sister Hei, give the umbrella in your hand to Third Young Master. He doesn't want to be an idler."
Luo Jingbo looked at the big umbrella. Little Sister Hei could hold it easily, but he guessed that it was not light. Little Sister Hei's eyes obviously had some bad intentions. To avoid embarrassing himself, he repeatedly begged for mercy. "Little Sister, Little Sister, Third Elder Brother was wrong. Please forgive Third Elder Brother. Third Elder Brother is just an idler.
Sun Yijia walked over and smiled as she gently pinched his arm. "Good for nothing."
Luo Jingbo went from idling to living off a woman. "With Little Sister and a capable wife, it doesn't matter if I'm not good for nothing." His expression was especially shameless.
"Bastard, you really are good for nothing." Luo Peishan "scolded" him.
Luo Jingbo shrunk his neck and immediately jumped behind Sun Yijia. He pulled Sun Yijia's arm. "Wife, why didn't you remind me that Grandfather was coming?" He seemed to have lowered his voice, but in fact, everyone heard it.
Even though she knew that he was doing it on purpose, Sun Yijia still blushed. "Who cares about you, you good-for-nothing." She quickly walked to Jingwan's side. She even wished that Jingwan's entire body would block her.
Luo Jingbo looked quite aggrieved.
Everyone finally couldn't hold back their laughter. It seemed that the unbearable heat had subsided a lot.
"You're all not young anymore, but you're still acting like children." Madame Luo laughed and shook her head.
While they were joking around, two more large umbrellas were set up, and other things were also prepared.
Luo Peishan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. "It's indeed fast and convenient."
Thus, when the other families had just started, the masters of the Luo Family had already sat down and started chatting.
That wasn't all. An even bigger umbrella was taken down. What was different was that after it was opened, the pillars were at the four corners. After it was fixed, it was completely a shade. The things the servants were doing could all be placed under it.
"Little Sister, actually, two of those would be enough. There's no need to go through so much trouble." Luo Jingbo looked up.
"This is called fun, do you understand?" Jingwan said unhappily. She could say that when she was in Qi 'an prefecture, she was used to such big umbrellas. The furthest place she traveled was her own village, so there was no need for the servants to do outdoor work. Thus, a few days before she left, she had people prepare a few big umbrellas. Only then did she realize that it was actually inconvenient, so she thought of this. In the end, Nurse Gong and the others nodded as if it was a matter of course. Masters and servants should be separated.
Well, Jingwan didn't say anything.
Luo Jingbo didn't know what fun was, but separating like this was indeed more comfortable than all of them being under the same shade.
When the left and right families of the Luo Family saw the situation of the Luo Family, they were immediately envious, jealous, and hateful. Especially those servants who were busy putting up airs, they were sweating profusely. As for the masters, they didn't have a place to stay for a long time, so they felt more and more stuffy in the carriage. Even the ice basin couldn't relieve the heat, so their temper became even more irritable.
Nurse Gong brought them freshly squeezed fruit juice. Everyone else used iced fruits. Jingwan and Luo Jingbo even had a small piece of ice added. However, Madame Luo and Sun Yijia used slightly cold fruits.
While the others were still looking at the strange sight, Madame Luo was the first to pick up a small bamboo tube and put it into the juice. She took a sip and then let out a subtle sigh of relief. However, seeing her relaxed expression, her heart should be extremely happy.
However, looking at her skillful movements, it was obvious that she was used to this.
When the other three saw this, they followed suit. After taking a sip, they all felt very comfortable.
Jingwan also slowly took a sip. The cool feeling slid from her mouth to her stomach, making her whole body feel comfortable. The discomfort caused by the motion sickness was almost instantly reduced by a lot.
Drinking icy-cold fruit juice with his family, there were people fanning him beside. Even though it was June, it was still a great enjoyment to be in the wilderness with such beautiful scenery.
Jingwan looked at the forest in the distance and was a little lost in thought.
Sun Yijia reached out and waved her hand in front of Jingwan. She didn't know when, but she had moved from Luo Jingbo to Jingwan's side. When she saw Jingwan looking at her, she asked, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me when I called you?"
Jingwan raised the corner of her mouth, and a smile overflowed from the depths of her eyes. "I just suddenly feel very happy. Even if it's a hot summer day, even if it's a little uncomfortable now, I still feel very good."
Hearing her words, the others looked over, especially Madame Luo, whose gaze was exceptionally gentle.
"Grandmother is also very happy, isn't she?" Jing Wan smiled.
Madame Luo didn't deny it and nodded with a faint smile.
Looking at her smile, Luo Peishan suddenly understood something. He had let her down a lot. However, even so, at this time, he couldn't bring up the idea of retiring and then accompany her to enjoy her old age.
The one who understood Luo Peishan the most was indeed Madame Luo. Seeing his expression at this time, she knew what he was thinking. "Lord doesn't need to think too much. This moment is enough." Even if it was for Wan Wan, it was impossible for him to retire at this time.
Although they didn't particularly understand the atmosphere between the two elders, Luo Jingbo and Sun Yijia looked at each other tacitly. Their eyes flashed with a seemingly indescribable warmth, but they understood each other's feelings.
Jingwan subconsciously covered her eyes. Single people couldn't afford to be hurt. This pair of old and young represented the beginning and end of a marriage. They were brimming with happiness, and the lethality of this was extraordinary.
It caused her to even have a little bit of expectation for marriage.
"Aiqing Luo is very comfortable."
Hearing this, the masters of the Luo family hurriedly looked back. Le Chengdi was standing beside the carriage, and behind him was a group of people. His sons, palace servants, and the imperial guards brought along with them.
They obviously came from the other side of the carriage.
Your Majesty the Emperor, you should at least let someone say something in advance. Is it really good for you to silently "inspect" the private lives of your subjects? Alright, in this person's eyes, there was probably nothing he did that could be said to be bad.
The servants followed their masters and hurriedly stood up to salute.
"Aiqing, you may dispense with the formalities." Le Chengdi modestly raised his hand. He walked over unhurriedly and saw the things on the table. "Aiqing Luo is indeed very comfortable." His voice couldn't help but become a little happier.
Along the way, in fact, Le Chengdi's pressure was getting lower and lower. He felt that when he was in the capital, he didn't have such a good time. So, he stopped on a whim, intending to let everyone enjoy themselves. Then, he was prepared to see how grateful they were to him on a whim. However, it was obvious that they didn't hear the gratitude. There were a lot of grumbling and complaining. When they saw him, they were scared pale and knelt down to beg for forgiveness. But he couldn't punish them because of this. Although he was angry, he still continued to walk as if he was torturing himself.
Except for Li Hongyuan, who was still calm and composed, the rest of the people who followed him didn't dare to breathe loudly for fear of offending him accidentally. But now, when they came to the Luo family, it seemed that the gloomy atmosphere suddenly turned sunny.
Le Chengdi looked around. Sure enough, it wasn't his decision that was wrong. It was clearly that the others were too stupid. "Who came up with this idea?"
Jingwan stepped forward at Luo Peishan's signal. "Your Majesty, it was me."
"Oh? It's you again. Good, good, good. You're really smart. "Le Chengdi looked very pleased.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I'm just opportunistic. It's nothing."
"You don't have to be modest. Even if you're opportunistic, I don't see anyone else who has this ability. — What are you drinking? Give me a cup. "Even though he was sweating now, Le Chengdi was still in high spirits.
It was obvious that he wanted to stay. The table of the two elders was quickly cleaned up. Le Chengdi was invited to sit down. And his close servant who served him hurriedly followed Nanny Gong to prepare fruit juice and other things for him.
Because they didn't bring Le Chengdi's special things, they could only make do with the Luo family's things at this time. However, all the things were checked again and again. Although it was reasonable to do so because it was for the Emperor, it still made people angry. It was Nanny Gong who had this thought. However, she didn't show it on her face at all. — If she really wanted to poison him, there were many poisons that couldn't be detected by silver needles.
While waiting, Nanny Gong said, "My dear minister, go get the chess pieces and play a game with me."
Because Jingwan's carriage was the closest, he directly took the chess pieces from her carriage.
