"Lu Chen, stop joking with them. Where's your wife?" Another youth sitting next to the transvestite said. Hearing this voice, my heart skipped a beat. This voice sounded quite familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before. Lu Chen immediately added, "Senior Martial Brother, you're back …"
My family's Shi Hao laughed at "Senior Brother" again: "Godly Doctor, why are you so worried about your junior brother getting a wife? Where is your daughter-in-law? "
When Lu Chen heard that Shi Hao had started teasing him, he hurriedly turned to his teacher and said, "Hey, Big Brother, hurry up and finish what you need to do. It's getting late. Old Mountain Lord, you should go back and rest."
The conversation is moving fast, I thought. But — Godly Doctor? I deliberately glanced at the man next to the troll. Is he a doctor? He had a rather decent face, but not particularly handsome. His eyes were very lively, and he looked very confident with his bright eyes. His gaze was steady and strong. He's already a genius doctor at such a young age? Where had I heard his voice? I can't remember.
Just as I was looking at him with interest, he suddenly looked back at me and smiled. I suddenly felt very embarrassed when I was caught by his sharp and smiling eyes. I was so nervous that my whole body was burning up. I quickly avoided his eyes and took a few deep breaths before calming my beating heart. When she looked at him again, he had already started chatting and laughing with the Flower Elder Demon in a low voice. I was relieved, thinking, why is he looking at me? I don't know him. However, he had heard his voice somewhere before.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the twelve maidservants were finally arranged for them to go to each of the twelve lords' residences. After the arrangements were completed, the Old Mountain Lord announced that they had returned to their respective residences. As it was late, and every lord's house was scattered throughout the upper reaches of Mount Li, the lords were escorted back by their carriages. Of course, the little girl wanted to follow the adult's carriage back. He was slightly puzzled when he saw the two girls following behind the young mistress. Master Shi Hao saw my doubt and explained to me that Miss Tong was Master Tong's daughter, and that the father and daughter lived in Huxiao Po. Because Tiger Roar Slope was too far away from the top region, Master Tong's body was too weak to climb the mountain. He sent Miss to attend the meeting at the top region, and with the addition of Lord Feng's daughter, the Lady wanted to bring the two girls back.
I asked, "Isn't she your wife? Why doesn't she ride in your carriage? "
Lord Shi laughed. "Are you asking the obvious? She just said she wasn't married. "
"Then she's also your girlfriend?" Why can't you take her back in the carriage? Also, you two are so estranged that no one can tell you're in love. You should be more intimate. " I replied seriously.
At this time, the expression on Lord Shi's face could no longer be described as shocked. He looked at me as if I was an alien, carefully studying me from top to bottom, and then said seriously, "Girlfriend?" Love? Intimacy? Who taught you what you said? Rushan was a vassal state under the imperial government. The etiquette of men and women had to follow the imperial government's rules and regulations. It was very strict. The marriage of our lord must be arranged by the court. Even if they were engaged to be married, etiquette and rules had to be strictly observed before they passed through the door. "So I don't want to hear your words a second time, so that others won't say that I'm not controlling my little girl properly."
Alright, my words are too modern and too open-minded. My master can't take it anymore. It's a good thing that he didn't care for her at all, otherwise I would have lost my life.
As I was curious about my first ride in the coach, I pushed the curtains open more than once to look outside. When Lord Shi saw me like this, he said, "The sky is already dark. What are you looking at?"
I said smilingly, "I feel that this coachman is really strong. He dares to drive such a steep mountain road."
Master Shi said, "The one driving the carriage is Big Brother Yuan. He counts as half a lord in the mansion. "There aren't many people in Rushan who have his skills."
"Can a horse walk on such a steep road?" All I've ever seen on TV were horses on flat roads. I've never seen anyone who could walk on a mountain road.
"These horses are a different breed, they belong to the mountain road horses, the horses in the mountain have been specially trained. As a result, the mountain path was very stable. However, the training of these horses is much more difficult, so the carriages in all of the Mansion of Mount Han can only be equipped by the lords and the steward's slaves. For example, Big Brother Li, we only have two carriages in our Golden Lion Village! " When Lord Shi spoke of Big Brother Yu, his tone was filled with pride.
"Oh, is the mountain horse a southern breed? I remember there were many roads in the south, and the horses were smaller than the horses in the north, but they were light and agile, different from those that go to war to kill the enemy. " I told him what I had read in Jin Yong's novel, The Story of the Deer.
"It's more or less what you said. Which book did you read about it? " Master was surprised that I could understand all this.
"Ah, I don't remember. What book was it? " I'm in cold sweat. He couldn't help but regret that he spoke too fast and that he didn't think it through in his head. He had to be careful in the future.
"Master, do you have any other means of transportation besides the carriage?" I asked.
"What?" "What tools?" My lord did not hear me.
How did I manage to use modern words? I hurriedly explained, "It means you don't have to walk. You can ride on it."
"Every adult and servant in charge is also equipped with fast horses, making it easier to enter and exit." Master and his master said.
"Oh, I see." I don't know how to ride, I thought, but I wouldn't mind if you gave me a car. I have a family of cars.
Just like that, master and I sat in the carriage, which took us to the Golden Lion Stronghold, master's mansion.
After the carriage traveled for four hours, they finally arrived at Lord Shi Hao's Golden Lion Camp. At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the Golden Lion Camp's entrance was illuminated by the torches. The servant girl had been waiting at the door for a long time, and once she saw the carriage, she rushed forward. As soon as Master got off the carriage, a little girl took his cloak and brought him into the stronghold. I was like a guest watching the lass and the servants as they busied themselves with him. He just kept walking in and didn't even look at the people around him. Even though I am also his little girl, I won't do anything and can only watch on.
The Golden Lion Village was actually not some mountain stronghold. It was only a large courtyard built on the hillside between the Zhongshan Monolith and the top region, and was nothing more than the name of the stronghold. The courtyard had its back against the mountain. In front of the manor gate was a large flat land, and if one went beyond that flat land, they would be able to see the mountain paths and cliffs. Thus, when they stood on the flat land in front of the manor gate, they could see the Zhongshan Monolith and the lower mountains. I liked it here from the moment I arrived, and was full of joy as I studied the topography and the layout of the stronghold.
