Chapter 188 Wild Dog
Nurse naturally said yes.
Jiang Changning didn’t know at all that Jiang’s mother had become suspicious of Jiang Luo’s identity. She was sitting with Jiang Changyuan, and she was lifting the curtain of the carriage to look out.
Qingfeng Mountain is located outside Beijing, and Zhuangzi is located halfway up the mountain. Although the mountain road has been cleared, it is still a bit difficult to walk compared to the flat official road.
The difficult road will naturally take more time, but fortunately, the two sisters have already prepared. Aside from getting up early in the morning, red apricots were stuffed in the dark drawer of the carriage with a lot of food. The weather is hot, and after the carriage has been driving for half an hour, when the things are taken out, you can still feel the residual warmth of the snacks.
Hong Xing carefully opened the oiled paper package, and there are delicate and sweet mung bean cakes, as well as slightly spicy dried meat scones. There are even crystal-clear grapes and a small jug of chilled plum juice.
Jiang Changyuan saw Hongxing take out so many things all at once like a magic trick, he couldn’t help opening his mouth slightly, his eyes widened.
Jiang Changning hilariously took a piece of plum blossom-shaped snack and stuffed it into her mouth, which brought Jiang Changyuan back to his senses.
It’s not in the mansion, and it’s not limited to so many etiquettes. The three masters and servants filled their stomachs affectionately, and then looked at the scenery outside the carriage with curiosity.
At this time, the carriage had already entered Qingfeng Mountain, the road was lined with trees and birds were singing.
From time to time, carriages from other houses can be seen slowly passing by.
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the weather is getting hotter. Halfway through the journey, you can already vaguely see the glazed tiles of Qingfeng Villa gleaming in the sun, and the roar of the waterfall in the distance.
Hong Xing’s eyes were full of surprise, she wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief, pointed to the front, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
“Look, girl! There seems to be a stone pavilion in front of you.” The carriage creaked closer and closer, and the pavilion that Hongxing said was in sight.
From a distance, it seems that the stone pavilion is on a protruding boulder, and the terrain is dangerous. Only when I looked closely did I realize that the stone pavilion is actually a plain with luxuriant grass and beautiful scenery.
“Girl, let’s go to the pavilion to rest our feet, Qingfeng Villa is not far away, and there is still time to go on our way.”
Jiang Changyuan heard Hongxing’s proposal, thought for a while and nodded, and Jiang Changyuan naturally had no objection.
It turned out to be a Qingfeng Pavilion.
Several people jumped out of the carriage and walked into the Qingfeng Pavilion.
The coachman was still resting in front of the carriage, while the horse was wagging its tail and eating the tender grass on the ground leisurely.
There are many rockeries around the Qingfeng Pavilion. Tea sets are placed on the stone tables and benches in the pavilion. At this moment, the pavilion is full of people resting their feet.
Jiang Changyuan and Hongxing had just sat down when a young man who looked like a servant came over.
“Guest officer, girl, my young master told me that the weather is hot these days, if you are thirsty, you can drink a glass of ice water, if you are hot, you can take a cold towel to wipe your sweat. My young master said, if you feel bored, you can go to Take a look at the scenery from the pavilion in front.”
Jiang Changyuan nodded shyly when he heard the words, expressing his gratitude.
Hong Xing is more courageous, rolled her eyes and said with a light smile: “Thank you, brother, what’s your name?”
“My surname is Chu, and my single name is four characters. The three girls can call me Chu Si.”
“Okay, Chu Si.”
Both are servants, Hong Xing has a good impression of this servant named Chu Si. This kid looks simple and honest, but in fact he has a delicate mind and speaks and does things very appropriately.
Chu Si chatted with Hong Xing for a while, then Chu Si said goodbye and left.
“It seems that Miss Hongxing feels quite good about that young master. Do you want me to talk about Xiang Shuan?” Jiang Changning was serious, but his eyes were full of narrow smiles.
Jiang Changyuan also covered his mouth and smiled, and said softly: “This Chu Si is indeed very good. There are many passers-by here. Although they all go to Zhuangzi, he is very clever. As soon as we came to Qingfeng Mountain, he arranged It’s all right, and bamboo is planted all around the pavilion, which is cool and refreshing, very pleasant.”
“Even if you get the master’s order, you can still see the exquisite heart of that person.”
“Girls are used to teasing slaves!” Hong Xing’s ears were red, and she covered her face with a handkerchief.
“I’m not making fun of you. Since you have followed me, I will naturally give you a good home.” Jiang Changning smiled slightly. In the previous life, because of her own confusion, Hong Xing was also dragged down.
If there is a chance to come back in this life, there is no reason not to make up for it.
Hong Xing knew Jiang Changning’s temperament, her mouth moved: “If you want a servant to marry, then you have to wait until the girl is married to the prince.”
After speaking, he suddenly remembered that Yan Wang was still far away from the frontier, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Jiang Changning shook his head at her reassuringly, and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky.
She believed that that person would come back soon.
While Jiang Changyuan was chatting with Hongxing, there was a sudden noise in the distance.
“Oops! How can you be so unlucky!”
“That’s right! There are still things that hurt people in Qingfeng Mountain!”
“My luck is so bad!”
“Is it too late to go home now!”
“Big sister, why don’t we go to the front and have a look!”
Jiang Changyuan couldn’t help but be a little curious seeing these people’s reactions so intensely.
“Alright, I don’t know what these people are talking about, let’s go and have a look.”
Jiang Changning pulled Jiang Changyuan up and walked over there.
The two walked over one by one, and saw a group of people gathered around, all of them turned their heads and looked around with panic.
“What happened?”
Jiang Changning stood in front of the crowd and asked with a frown.
These people looked up when they heard the words, some had regrets on their faces, and some had anger on their faces.
One of the middle-aged men said angrily: “We were here to enjoy the shade, but for some reason, a wild dog came here. It bites everyone, and many people have been injured.”
Jiang Changning couldn’t help frowning when he heard this. The officials and dignitaries of Qingfeng Mountain come and go, but they have never heard of any rumors of wild dogs.
While talking, Chu Si walked over with a sullen face: “This guest, you can eat but not talk nonsense. The Chu family has already sent people to investigate for a few miles around Qingfeng Mountain, and there is nothing that can hurt people. If you are like this, I am afraid that you want to extort money.”
Before Chu Si finished his sentence, he was immediately refuted by others. The middle-aged man was particularly angry: “The dog slave bullies people too much. The young master is not greedy for your little money. If you say that I blackmail you, it is better to report to the officials and let the adults Come and judge.”
When it came to reporting to the official, Chu Si was not at all afraid: “You said there were wild dogs hurting people, where are those dogs now?”
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Si with a nonchalant expression, curled his lips contemptuously, and said, “I’m not talking nonsense about this matter, you see, there are bushes and thorns around here, don’t these wild dogs just Hiding among the thorns?”
As if responding to his words, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and everyone stepped back in panic.
Jiang Changning looked up, and a young man in a white brocade robe came out carrying something.
He has a handsome face, a pair of very deep eyes, and the end of the eyes is slightly raised with a hint of evil.
“Meet Miss Jiang again.”
“Young Master Chu.”
Hearing Jiang Changning’s address, Chu Rong raised his eyebrows: “Miss, have someone checked me out?”
“Isn’t Mr. Chu the same?” Jiang Changning looked at Chu Rong strangely. The two of them met each other once, and they didn’t say a few words, but they didn’t know each other’s surname well.
Now that he just opened his mouth, he naturally made a fuss in private.
Jiang Changning felt a little puzzled, he checked Churong because of the inexplicable sense of familiarity, he always felt that the other party was very similar to Gu Han who harmed him in the previous life, so why did Chu Rong check her?
Chu Si looked at Chu Rong and hurried forward two steps, without the arrogance just now, he called out respectfully: “Second Young Master.”
Chu Rong looked away from Jiang Changning, hummed lightly, and motioned to Chu Si again: “Drag the thing out.”
Chu Si followed Chu Rong’s instructions, walked into the bushes, and walked out after a while. What is noticeable is that he is dragging a **** wild dog in his hand.
The wild dog is very strong, as strong as a calf. The black fur was like satin under the scorching sun, its mouth was wide open, and there were still pieces of meat hanging on the sharp teeth. The gurgling blood flowed from its abdomen, and it seemed that it would not survive.
Jiang Changyuan covered his eyes and screamed, even the middle-aged man who scolded the most just now changed his face.
Who doesn’t know that the Chu Mansion is a big family in Beijing, especially Qingfeng Villa is a treasured land of geomantic omen. The middle-aged man wanted to take advantage of the time when there were many people to blackmail the Chu Mansion. His leg was injured, but it was not injured by a wild dog on Qingfeng Mountain. The man let the dog bite.
There are wild dogs on Qingfeng Mountain. He made it up. Now that Chu Rong really found such a big wild dog, how could he not make him feel guilty and afraid.
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive. Didn’t ordinary people spend some money to settle the matter?
“Chu’s poor hospitality has frightened you all. The Zhuangzi has prepared bouillon, so I ask you to show your face and move away.”
Chu Rong was well-dressed, elegant and handsome, and his demeanor was extremely low. Even if some people still had some anger in their hearts, they were too embarrassed to speak ill of him.
Since the beast that hurt people is dead, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Just now, the onlookers walked towards Qingfeng Villa in twos and threes.
Seeing that everyone was about to disappear, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but panic, and shouted in a panic: “This is not the dog that bit me.”
But no matter how much he yelled, it didn’t help. No one wanted to stop and listen to what he had to say.
Seeing that the blackmail was unsuccessful, the man touched the tip of his nose with some guilt, and finally walked away in despair with his head down.
Chu Rong watched the man go away with a smile all the time, and then turned to Jiang Changning after seeing the figure disappear: “Let the girl laugh, Chu has something important to do, Miss Jiang, please do it yourself.”
Jiang Changning bowed to Chu Rong: “Young Master Chu, go slowly.”
The two parted ways, and Jiang Changning returned to the carriage with Jiang Changyuan and Hong Xing. The coachman was wiping his face with a sweat towel, and when he saw that the girls from the house had come back, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and moved down the footstool.
Hong Xing helped Jiang Changning and Jiang Changyuan into the carriage, and then she followed.
The coachman flicked his whip, and the fed horse walked slowly again.
The middle-aged man didn’t get money but lost his face, how can he not be angry. While going down the mountain, he was still cursing and talking non-stop. Just as he was talking, a figure flashed in front of him, it was Chu Si who had just quarreled. The middle-aged man was very irritable, he would not care about the person blocking the way, he couldn’t help raising his hand to push the person blocking him.
Chu Si didn’t dodge or evade, and stood motionless.
When the middle-aged man saw that the opponent was thin and defenseless, he felt a sudden panic. New grudges and old grievances stretched out their right fists and threw them at Chu Si.
Chu Si still stood motionless, the middle-aged man missed the shot, and grabbed Chu Si’s collar with his left hand.
“If you don’t get out of the way again, be careful that the young master breaks your leg!”
The middle-aged man was about to throw Chu Si to the ground after he finished speaking. But as soon as his palm touched the opponent, he felt a huge force coming from Chu Si’s hands. His hand was dislocated in an instant.
“Ah” the middle-aged man let out a scream like killing a pig. The pain in his hands made his head dizzy, and he couldn’t help but loosen Chu Si’s clothes.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground, covered his arm and kept screaming. He felt that his arm seemed to be broken. And he also felt that there seemed to be a terrifying power in the opponent’s body.
“Quick, quick, go to the doctor!” The middle-aged man couldn’t help moaning in pain, but Chu Si looked at him indifferently, with piercing pity in his eyes.
“I wanted to let you die, but I wanted to die myself! Who is it wrong for you to offend, why do you have to offend the second son?”
Chu Si’s voice was very soft, the middle-aged man didn’t understand it, and he had no chance to understand it again.
Hearing a horrible whimper, the middle-aged man turned his head in horror. Before he could see anything, he was thrown to the ground by the ferocious beast.
The screams in his mouth stopped abruptly, and the hot blood splashed on the green branches like a rain of meat.
Jiang Changning naturally didn’t know what happened to the middle-aged man.
Qingfeng Mountain Villa was within easy reach, and everyone in the Jiang Mansion got out of the carriage. Immediately, a young man came to take away the carriage of Jiang’s mansion. Behind Zhuangzi, there were places specially prepared for the servants of each mansion, and there were also stables for the horses to rest.
You can’t see it from a distance, but you can really feel the extraordinaryness of Qingfeng Villa when you get close.
The beautiful maid brought Jiang Changning into the Qingfeng Villa. The pavilions and pavilions inside are unique, and the rockery and rocks are all exquisite. The most amazing thing is that there is a lake with crystal clear blue waves in the villa. Because it is midsummer, the lotus leaves are green, and the large lotus flowers make people happy. From time to time, fish jump out of the water. Next to the lake is a large bamboo forest, and the path paved with bluestone slabs, don’t go to the sky in the bamboo forest. There are exquisite bamboo buildings inside, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the light gauze is graceful.
I don’t know if it is affected by the environment, but walking among the green trees and flowers still makes people feel so cool.
Along the way, Jiang Changyuan and Hong Xing almost stared straight at him. Jiang Changning was a little uneasy. She raised her eyes and coughed lowly, as if responding to her, a bamboo leaf dangled and landed on her palm.
Pinching this small bamboo leaf, Jiang Changning settled down.
There are already quite a few people in Qingfeng Villa, and laughter can be heard everywhere. The maid brought Jiang Changning to a small building before stopping.
