Chapter 94: Going to Beijing, Grandmother
The aura of these two people was different from that of ordinary guards. They were like sharpened blades that had been deliberately sharpened to become a handy killing weapon in the hands of their master.
Su Wan was particularly impressed.
At first she suspected that they were from Qi Guang, but those rough guys were all hot-blooded people, and their aura was different compared to them.
Later, she suspected that it was Gu Huaizhi, but she quickly denied it.
Now appearing next to Gu Huaizhi...
She narrowed her eyes and looked at it.
"You're up." Gu Huaizhi didn't feel guilty at all about being caught. Under Su Wan's probing eyes, he looked very calm: "They are the guards I hired from the escort agency. They will take care of you while you are in the capital." Protect you. Twenty taels of silver a month, including food and accommodation. You can pay them again after you come back safely."
Mo Yuan said expressionlessly: "Give me a deposit of ten taels first. After the time limit is up, if the time exceeds one day, it will be calculated as twenty taels of silver per day."
Mo Chen's face twitched, and he secretly admired Mo Yuan's courage and acting skills!
He said with a smile: "This is for the sake of repeat customers. The last time Boss Gu hired us to do something, the matter was too simple, so we asked for a higher price, so we will give you a cheaper price this time. According to the skills of our two brothers, one month Got thirty taels.”
Gu Huaizhi glanced at them lightly and warned implicitly: "Make sure my people are unharmed. If they are injured, I will take your chief bodyguard to task."
Mo Yuan and Mo Chen looked solemn: "Don't worry, we will go all out!"
Gu Huaizhi said "hmm" in a low voice, his eyes fell on Su Wan's face, he looked at her for a long time, but without saying anything, he stepped into the yard.
Su Wan stretched out her hand to pull him, but her clothes flew away from her hands. She felt an impulse in her heart, "Gu Huaizhi, take good care of your brother and sister. I took Zhao Wei two thousand taels of silver and ten thousand bottles of wound medicine." One hundred taels, a total of 100,000 bottles will be given to him. When I come back, I hope you will deliver all the medicine to him."
"Don't worry, I'm here in Xihe Town." Gu Huaizhi waved his hand to signal her to hurry up.
Su Wan pursed her lips and turned around to get on the carriage.
Mo Yuan and Mo Chen acted as coachmen.
The carriage drove off.
Su Wan lifted the curtain and saw Gu Huaizhi leaning against the door, looking at her from a distance.
She tightened her grip on the curtain and wanted to wave to Gu Huaizhi, but the carriage turned and his figure condensed into a dot and disappeared from sight.
Su Wan felt sad, put down the curtain in her hand, and retreated into the corner. Her eyes fell on a food box.
Opening the lid, the aroma is fragrant, and there are shepherd's purse dumplings neatly placed inside. The second layer is meat patties and white flour steamed buns. The third layer is a bamboo tube of soy milk and ten boiled eggs.
Dumplings and soy milk were prepared for her as breakfast, while meatloaf, white flour steamed buns, and eggs were her rations on the road.
A burst of heat surged in Su Wan's chest, and her heart swelled.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Su Wan opened the car curtain and asked the two people.
Mo Yuan and Mo Chen looked at each other, alarm bells ringing in their hearts: "I've eaten."
Su Wan nodded, seemingly bored, and casually chatted: "Are you the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency or the Xuanmen Escort Agency?"
Mo Yuan and Mo Chen knew in their hearts that it was indeed a cliché, and they answered cautiously: "We are the only one in town, Xiao Ji Escort Agency."
Su Wan raised her voice and said, "How long have you been in the business? Have you ever encountered a robber as an escort? Just start a fight? If something happens, will the escort agency compensate you?"
Mo Chen scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.
When they met robbers, they immediately killed them. If something happens to the brothers, the master will give them generous pensions.
He can act as a temporary guard, but this knowledge is a blind spot and his homework is not sufficient.
Mo Yuan looked at Su Wan's curious expression and said cautiously: "I have been in the business for a year and have met robbers before. Usually they are not willing to make enemies and just say a few slanderous words to turn danger into good fortune. If something goes wrong, the escort agency will lose money. "
Su Wan nodded after hearing this impeccable answer, "Thank you for your hard work."
She lowered the curtain and sneered, damn escort agency.
It's true that escorts will tell slanderous things when they meet robbers, but when escorts go on missions, they will go to the insurance company to buy insurance. If something happens, the insurance company will pay for the pension and funeral expenses.
Su Wan picked at her fingers, thinking that her cheap husband might not be simple at all!
Along the way, Su Wan ate and slept, and when he was bored, he teased the two of them.
Mo Yuan and Mo Chen had heads as big as buckets. When they heard Su Wan's voice, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They were even more tired than working for their master, and they were afraid that their vests would be ripped off by Su Wan.
He traveled day and night for several days to reach the capital.
As soon as the carriage entered the capital, Mo Yuan asked: "Mrs. Gu, do you want to stay in an inn, or go back to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion first?"
"Go to the inn." Su Wan was dusty and ready to freshen up before going to see the old lady.
Suddenly, Su Wan remembered that the crying child had milk, and immediately changed her mind: "Let's go to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion now."
The old lady felt cold towards the original owner, but how could she be so hard-hearted and completely ignore her granddaughter who had loved her for more than ten years?
Su Wan wanted to show off her misfortune, so she could show sympathy.
——
Dingyuanhou Mansion.
Fuxi Hall.
Two maids wearing lake green dresses were guarding the door. An old woman came over. The maid quickly opened the door curtain, and the old woman quickly walked in.
There was a strong smell of bitter medicine in the room, and there were intermittent coughs.
The old grandma looked distressed and walked into the inner room quickly. She saw Mrs. Dingyuanhou lying on the bed, coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, and her face turned purple from holding back.
The old nanny was shocked and hurried to the bedside, patting her back to calm her down: "Old lady, I'll ask someone to invite the imperial physician, and ask you to take a few more doses of medicine."
"No need, the imperial physician hasn't seen enough? It's useless." The old lady was skinny, her face was sallow, her eye sockets were deep, and she was seriously ill. It seemed that she didn't have much time left. A layer of deep worry covered her face like old tree bark: "I have lived for most of my life, and I have no regrets. Now I can't let go of Ah Wan. She is very ambitious, and I don't know how she is living after marrying into a poor village."
The pampered young lady became a country peasant woman. Just thinking about it makes her feel wronged and uncomfortable.
The old lady wanted to see it, but she didn't dare to. The more they thought about Su Wan, the more they hurt her.
The vicious mother and daughter would never let her go.
"I just want to see her once, and see her again." The old lady tightly grasped the old nanny's hand, tears flashing in her turbid eyes: "Take some silver, go to see her secretly, let her calm down, and live a good life with the silver. Forget about the past, forget everything."
Wealth is fleeting, nothing is more important than being alive.
The old nanny nodded heavily: "The old slave will leave tomorrow."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have a few days to live, "Let your granddaughter go, don't stay there to take care of Wanwan."
Once she died, the mansion would be in chaos, and Qinglan would not notice these small problems.
When the mansion is settled, her Wanwan is so smart that these people will not find clues and can live well.
——
A carriage stopped at the gate of Dingyuan Marquis's mansion.
Mo Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Su Wan came out of the carriage.
At this moment, the door of the mansion happened to open, and someone came out of the mansion.
PS: I was confused before. In chapter 80, Zhao Wei bought 10,000 bottles of medicine. The price should be 200 taels. I calculated it as 2,000 taels, which is ten times more. I made a minor revision. The heroine should give Zhao Wei 100,000 bottles of medicine. QAQ
