Jingwan nodded. As long as her own people were well, it was fine. Other people, it was not her turn to care, nor did she want to care.
Not long after, the servants started to pack up the things. The Luo family's "shed" was "built" quickly, so it was naturally not a big problem to pack it up. Without much effort, everything was properly packed up. They could even take advantage of the time before departure to rest for a while.
Sun Yijia impolitely boarded Jingwan's carriage. She saw that there was indeed no effect, so the carriages continued to move forward.
Other than the two of them, there was also a servant girl left in the carriage.
"Did sister-in-law sleep well?"
"Very well." Sun Yijia nodded and picked up a sour plum from the small table and put it in her mouth.
Because the window curtain was not down, Jingwan suddenly saw a carriage that was abandoned after the horse was untied. It was a good carriage and looked ordinary. It definitely did not belong to any wangye or wangfei. However, there were other family members in the wangfu. Naturally, the carriage was not of that high standard. And in front of the Luo family, it was not only members of the imperial family. Jingwan's heart moved. If everything was fine, this carriage naturally would not be abandoned like this. It seemed that it was related to the previous incident. "Whose carriage is this?"
"It should be the Grand Secretary's." Sun Yijia glanced at it and withdrew her gaze with lack of interest. However, there was a bit of schadenfreude in her tone. The one who had an accident was Ruan Fangfei, so she was naturally happy, "I heard that when Ruan Fangfei was resting, a very scary and dirty thing appeared on the carriage. She was very frightened and even went a bit crazy."
Jingwan was rather speechless. Ruan Fangfei was her enemy, but she did not feel anything. This sister-in-law was actually happy.
"It's good that she went crazy. It's best if she went completely crazy. Then she doesn't need to enter Jin Wangfu to avoid annoying people."
"Sister-in-law …" Jingwan was helpless. How could she still remember this.
"Alright, I won't say anymore. She, Ruan Fangfei, has been plagued with bad luck recently. If I say too much, it will be bad luck."
Jingwan didn't know whether Ruan Fangfei was unlucky or not. She only knew that Ruan Fangfei was indeed unlucky, and it was bloody unlucky. Even if it wasn't something that could scare people into madness, it was obviously messing with her. Jingwan originally wanted to take revenge, but looking at it now, it was as if someone was taking revenge for her. Moreover, it was done step by step, little by little. It felt like they could kill Ruan Fangfei with one stab, but in fact, they were using a blunt knife to cut her flesh. They would not stop until she was tortured and in heart-wrenching pain.
She didn't know if it was to avenge her, but it was a fact that someone was targeting Ruan Fangfei. Then, who was this person? Was it the Jin Qinwang Li Hongyuan who had humiliated Ruan Fangfei in the beginning at the Gong Qinwang fu?
There were many things that seemed right but were actually wrong. However, when you really thought about it carefully, you would find that it couldn't withstand the scrutiny at all. There were many loopholes that couldn't be connected at all. Then, these clues seemed to have been deliberately left behind by someone, and it felt like they could be erased.
Perhaps it was because of the Ruan family's matter that Le Chengdi's mood wasn't very good. Of course, most people didn't know that Jin Qinwang had been assassinated by a "rebel thief". After that, unless it was necessary, they didn't stop. Fortunately, for two consecutive days, nothing happened. At this speed, they would arrive at Chengde Summer Palace in another day.
However, on the evening of the first day, they passed by a river. However, the bad luck was that the bridge was broken.
The depression in Le Chengdi's heart hadn't dissipated, and now that they encountered another unlucky incident, he couldn't help but feel angry. It should be known that in front of the ceremonial guards, there were people who cleared the road first. Along the way, unrelated people were cleared early on and prohibited from passing. Previously, they didn't receive the news that the bridge was broken. Now, wouldn't it make them furious?
Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, the bridge was broken, and there was no way around it. It couldn't be repaired in a short period of time. They couldn't go back to the capital, so they could only choose to take a detour. The result of their exploration was that there was a rope bridge one li upstream. Obviously, it couldn't be used. Further up, they didn't find it for the time being. Two li downstream, there was still a rope bridge. Finally, they found another bridge seven or eight li downstream, which could barely allow the carriage to pass.
Thus, the caravan turned back. Because they couldn't walk along the river bank, they could only turn back one li and go downstream.
However, it was a road that could barely allow the carriage to pass. Along the way, it still needed to be leveled, so the speed was naturally slow. In short, it could be summed up with one word — — annoying.
You say, almost every year, they had to avoid the summer heat. Every year, they had to walk that road. Naturally, they had to maintain it every year, but the result … …
The road became more and more uneven. Jingwan sat in the carriage and really suffered. Unfortunately, because Luo Jingbo had to take care of his wife, and because the sun was high up in the sky, other than the horse pulling the carriage, he didn't prepare any more horses. Even if she wanted to get down to ride, she couldn't.
It was also at this time that An Yi led a horse over. His intention was self-evident.
Jingwan was slightly silent. To be honest, when Jin Qinwang was considerate, it really made people unable to resist and hard to refuse.
However, Jingwan's gaze stayed on An Yi for a moment, "You're Jin Qinwang's bodyguard captain?"
"Replying to Miss Luo, yes." He didn't know Jingwan's intention, but he still obediently answered.
Jingwan didn't want to continue to suffer in the carriage, so she accepted Li Hongyuan's kindness, "Thank Wangye for me."
"Miss Luo is too polite." An Yi left the horse behind and left.
Jingwan got down from the carriage. She naturally knew how to ride a horse, but she wasn't very proficient. If it was flat, she could run, but if it wasn't flat and there were some small hills, she could only ride. Compared to Jin Qinwang's horse skills at the Great War Princess Fu, the difference was more than a hundred and eight thousand li. Fortunately, the current journey was slow. To ride a horse to keep up was just a small matter.
Then, Jingwan put on a gauze hat, stepped on the saddle, and mounted the horse. When she sat down, Jingwan found something unusual. The cushion of the saddle felt the same as the couch in the carriage, soft and slightly cold. Looking at the shape of the saddle, she knew that it was definitely prepared a long time ago and wasn't a temporary idea. Moreover, this horse was a BMW, but it seemed very docile. It didn't kick its hooves just because the person on its back was a stranger. Most likely, it was prepared before leaving the capital. Perhaps it was specially prepared for her and was needed in an emergency? Jingwan didn't want to be narcissistic, but it was proven more than once that Jin Qinwang really did it for her.
She, this fake, could be so attentive, then what about the original one? To what extent did Jin Qinwang treat her well? However, under normal circumstances, when dealing with a substitute, other than forcibly seizing, shouldn't there be a standard for every word and action of the original? Especially for this kind of overbearing and unreasonable person like Jin Qinwang. However, the truth was not like this. He never asked her for anything, but everything was according to her own preferences.
She couldn't understand it, ah … …
Jingwan felt that she was still deeply influenced by Jin Qinwang. Otherwise, why would she think about it every time he did something? He clearly told her every time, if she couldn't figure it out, then she shouldn't think about it.
Ai … …
Riding the horse, neither fast nor slow, neither fast nor slow. Without the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and panic, Jingwan felt quite leisurely.
However, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to cross the river before dark. Was this the rhythm of having to sleep in the wild again?
Speaking of this summer palace, they had to go there every year. Only the road was repaired, but there was no relay station along the way. According to reason, it should be calculated at the right time to set up a relay station for resting and lodging. Moreover, because it was a place where the Emperor needed to use, it should be very luxurious. As a result, along the way, there wasn't even a normal relay station.
Jingwan asked out of curiosity, and the result made people speechless.
Chengde Summer Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Qi Yuan. It was not the palace site left by the previous dynasty that was remodeled. Except for the more than 30 li that overlapped with the official road, there was no relay station until the palace. According to Emperor Taizu, his descendants should know the hardships and appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers. There were few opportunities to go out on weekdays. Therefore, the journey to the summer palace was a rare opportunity that must be grasped. Therefore, Emperor Taizu called for his descendants to eat and sleep in the wild.
After hearing this, Jingwan wanted to ask Emperor Taizu, did you have a stroke in your brain? As the Emperor, the master of the world, it was really eating and sleeping in the wild. It would only be more tiring. Just imagine, in order to let the Emperor eat and sleep well, without a relay station, how many things would have to accompany the journey? How cumbersome would it be? It would be more reliable if you ordered that the relay station be built like a summer palace.
Sure enough, as Jingwan expected, there was still some distance to the bridge. The sky was getting darker and darker. If they didn't find a place to sleep for the night, they would probably have to move in the dark. Le Chengdi had to order to find a place with a dark face.
Soon, there was a village built near the river not far ahead.
Le Chengdi lowered his status.
It was a big village with more than a hundred households and a population of nearly a thousand. Because it was not particularly far from the capital, some people had been to the capital. However, not everyone had the opportunity to see the Emperor. Therefore, when they heard that the Emperor was coming, the whole village was frightened and excited. They had long known that the Emperor would go to the summer palace in a few days. Some people even wanted to sneak a peek. Of course, they could only see the majesty of the Emperor from a distance. They absolutely couldn't see the Emperor clearly. After all, the clattering of the iron hooves of the guards was frightening.
Jingwan didn't know that it was unusual for such a big village to be a few miles away from the summer palace. However, it seemed that it had existed for a long time and had been well-behaved. Moreover, the Imperial Guards had carefully checked it and found that there was no problem. For something like an assassination, it should be considered very lucky to encounter it once, right?
Therefore, they settled down in the village. Every family wanted to make room for these nobles, especially Li Zheng, who wanted to invite Le Chengdi to stay at his home. Unfortunately, Le Chengdi said that he didn't want to disturb the villagers, so he politely declined.
As for whether he really didn't disturb the people or disliked it, hehe …
They didn't cook their own food but borrowed the kitchens of the families.
Jingwan had already returned to the carriage. Sun Yijia also returned to her and Luo Jingbo's carriage after the hottest period. Looking outside through the gap of the window curtain, both adults and children poked their heads out to look inside with curiosity and excitement. However, not only the Imperial Guards, but the guards of the families also stuck to their duties.
The young ladies and madams didn't show their faces, but the servant girls were busy going in and out. One must know that they were all servants. In the eyes of these people, they were unattainable. The peasant women were inevitably envious and jealous. Some men even couldn't help but reveal a lustful look. These beautiful and tender young ladies, perhaps they would never see them again in their lives.
Jingwan frowned and put down the curtain. No matter what, she inexplicably didn't like this place. It wasn't that she had any opinions about these people who were at the bottom. In her opinion, if she couldn't change the social structure, then it was better to completely isolate them. No matter where it was, in fact, there was a phenomenon of hatred for the rich. If one didn't come into contact with it, perhaps it would be better. Once one came into contact with it, there would be an obvious difference in feeling and the gap in one's heart would grow. This could become the root of crime …
When Jingwan heard that there were some young masters who seemed to be curious and brought people to wander around the village, her frown deepened. This wasn't a small village. There should be a lot of unmarried young ladies, and there must be some outstanding ones. Who knew if they would disturb the spring water because of them. In her previous life, there were a lot of melodramatic encounters in ancient dramas. However, if it wasn't a trap set by someone, even if it wasn't, the innocent young ladies who entered a noble house because of their appearance wouldn't have a good ending in the end.
Jingwan sent someone to tell Luo Jingbo to stay in the carriage obediently to accompany his wife.
Originally, Luo Jingbo and his wife wanted to go down the carriage for a walk. However, when they heard Jingwan's words, they dismissed the idea. When they lifted the curtain and looked outside, they seemed to understand Jingwan's intention.
Jingwan casually ate some food in the carriage. Originally, she didn't prepare much, and there wasn't much left. However, even so, if those farmers saw it, they might be drooling. Jingwan basically didn't use the serving chopsticks when eating. Therefore, she basically wouldn't give the leftovers to the maids. Now, it was even more impossible to give it to outsiders.
"Wash the dishes yourself. In addition, send some snacks, dried fruits and other things to the master. Also, leave some money for him." After Jingwan gave the order, she didn't say anything else.
It might be more convenient to take a bath when sleeping in the wild. However, here, Jingwan felt uncomfortable. Therefore, she decided to endure it for the night and just casually wash up. No matter how much time was wasted, she would definitely arrive at the temporary imperial residence before tomorrow night. At that time, she would have a good bath.
As night fell, the village gradually quieted down. Only the occasional dog barking could be heard from afar.
Jingwan didn't sleep very well in the carriage.
In the middle of the night, Jingwan suddenly woke up. It should be known that this situation was very rare for her.
Jingwan faintly heard the noise. Was it almost dawn? "Mama, what time is it?"
Mama Gong was right beside her. She reached out and patted her. "It's still early. Do you want to drink some water?"
"Yes."
Then, a small lamp was lit. The light wasn't strong, but it was just enough for her to see clearly.
Without Mama Gong's order, the maid quickly brought in the water. After all, their carriage was right next to them.
