Chapter 186: A Chance Encounter

"Two guests, this is where you want to go, right? It's very strict here, and it's not allowed to park carriages on the official road, so the two of you may have to come down here first. ”

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Lu Chiye hurriedly led Qiu Yan down from the carriage.

After Lu Chiye paid the driver, he took a deep breath of the fresh air in the suburbs, took Qiu Yan's hand, and walked forward.

Listening closely, I could still feel the sound of a waterfall rushing down, and I couldn't help but gently pinch Qiu Yan's ears.

"I can't see it, this place introduced to us by Fengxing is really good, and the scenery is really good."

"That's right, you see, the wildflowers outside are blooming beautifully, and even the soil is soft, so there should be a lot of people coming to play, right?"

As he spoke, Qiu Yan stepped on the gravel road with great interest.

Perhaps because there were too many people coming, some small pavilions were built nearby, with stone tables and chairs placed in them.

Looking at this environment, at least she was quite satisfied, and hurriedly beckoned to Lu Chiye.

"Quick, come and sit down. After feeling this, my mood instantly became a lot more open, and I could finally experience the feeling of being in the countryside. ”

"Seems that Madame likes that kind of leisurely life, huh?"

"It's natural," Qiu Yan helped him put a big box that Ji Feifan had prepared for them when he came out this time and placed it on the table.

I put all kinds of fruit snacks and the like in it one by one, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"The reason why I'm working so hard now is because I want to make more money sooner, so that we can retire and live a free life in the future?"

"We haven't had a chance to go out and have a good experience of this great river and mountain, and we have been only busy with business before."

Hearing her say this, in fact, Lu Chi was still a little guilty in his heart.

Gently touching her head, he assured, "Don't worry, when the day is over, we can take care of ourselves and focus all our attention on business." ”

"It won't be long before we can go one step further!"

"I'm not trying to rush you." Qiu Yan smiled and shook his head.

"I just think it's a rare opportunity to leave all the business things behind me and come out to have some fun, which feels completely different from my previous experience."

With that, he brought a piece of snack to his mouth, rented a small boat by the way, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the lake.

Originally, the two of them were extremely satisfied with all this.

But who knew that in the afternoon, the two were going to go to a very distinctive small restaurant nearby, and they had just heard about it to taste the local firewood turkey.

I had just come out of this wood, but I was surprised to find that the sky in the distance was already gloomy, accompanied by a cold north wind.

Lu Chiye hurriedly took her into his arms and said worriedly.

"Look at it like this, I guess it's going to rain soon."

"yes. It's a pity, it's rare for the two of us to be able to come out. ”

As he spoke, Qiu Yan took a look at the sky in the distance.

The scenery in this area is really good, but because of the strict management, it is not allowed to park here in horse-drawn carriages.

If the two of them wanted to rush to the city at this time, they were afraid that they would have to walk back.

Although Lu Chiye felt very sorry for her, he could only stretch out his hand to her now and smiled helplessly.

"Let's go, madam, let's go back quickly, or it will rain later, and I'm afraid the road back to the city will be even more difficult."

"Alright, let's do it together." As he spoke, Qiu Yan took his hand, and the two of them hurried towards the city quickly against the cold wind.

But who knows, before they have gone far, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell from the air, and soon, the not too thick clothes on the two of them were already wet for a small time.

"What should I do, in such a thunderstorm, it's not safe to hide under a big tree!" Lu Chiye had already put the box that the two of them had brought over on top of Qiu Yan's head.

Looking at the sky in the distance and the clouds were thick, I was really worried.

"But it's not a good way to keep going, you see, the wind is so strong that you almost have to shout it in your ears to hear it clearly." Qiu Yan frowned.

Just when the two of them were at a loss for what to do, there was a sudden neighing of horses in the distance.

It didn't take long for a sturdy and luxurious-looking carriage to stop in front of the two of them.

The driver took off his hat and beckoned to the two.

"Do I need to give you a ride? My son-in-law said that he saw you hiding here from afar. ”

"Really? Thank you so much for your son-in-law! Qiu Yan glanced at the coachman gratefully.

Soon, a very young and hearty voice came from inside the carriage.

"Since I met you, it can be regarded as fate, why don't we go to my carriage together to hide from the rain, and send you back by the way, where does your family live?"

"It's on Xiangyang Street in the capital, so thank you Gongzi."

Lu Chiye and his wife exchanged a few words with the young man inside through the storm outside, and the two of them could probably feel that the person sitting in the carriage should be a young and rich son.

In addition, there are indeed no carriages in this vicinity, so I can only accept his kindness.

After entering the carriage, the coachman immediately brought the two of them dry soft towels.

The two hurriedly took it, wiped the water droplets on their heads, and then bowed their heads in front of the boy and brother, and thanked him again.

"Thank you so much for today, thanks to your help, otherwise, our husband and wife would have been drenched like chickens in soup."

"It's just a small thing, you don't have to take it to heart."

When Brother Gongzi first saw the two of them, he behaved quite mildly and harmlessly, and even pointed to a small table inside the carriage.

"Why don't you two just sit down next to this first, I have hot tea here."

Hearing this boy mention it, Qiu Yan reacted that there was actually a hole in the inside of this carriage.

Just now, I only found that this carriage should be half as long as the ordinary one.

After entering, I found that the interior of the carriage must have been carefully modified.

The boy in front of him was leaning against a soft collapse, and there was a small stove next to him, which was steaming hot.

Sure enough, having money can save a lot of trouble, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

But he didn't refuse the kindness of this boy, and after eating a few snacks by the way, he quietly leaned against the carriage.

Finding that the two of them seemed to be a little restrained, the boy smiled again and spoke.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I know you."

"Yesterday, the descendants of my family told me that the head of the Lu family and his wife had already arrived in the capital from Qipyo, and I was worried that I would not have a chance to get to know the two of them."

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today. I also know about the two courier companies, such a novel thing, I really heard of it for the first time, the two of them are really amazing! ”

"Thank you for the compliment, our husband and wife are just fighting, but I didn't expect the effect to be good." Qiu Yan responded politely.

Brother Gongzi looked at her with no expression on his face and continued.

"Originally, I thought that such an amazing and beautiful couple, no matter how I said it, they should be middle-aged, but today I found out that the two of them are so young! is talented and beautiful, which is really enviable. ”

When I first met this son-in-law, Qiu Yan was still very grateful to him.

However, listening to the other party's words until now, it seems that for them, the enthusiasm is a little too much, and the alarm bell suddenly rings in their hearts.

After all, they had just arrived in the capital, and they had to be extra careful with their every move, who knew if there would be a few pairs of eyes staring at them from behind?

So, after patting Lu Chiye's hand lightly, he responded coldly and detachedly.

"Thank you Gongzi for your compliment, today, Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, and our husband and wife are beyond our reach."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked a little sleepy.

The two have been together for a long time, and the tacit understanding is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Lu Chiye looked at her like this and knew that he was already wary of this son.

He patted her lightly on the shoulder and nodded at the boy.

"Let the son see the smile, just now my wife was drenched in the rain, I'm afraid it's a little uncomfortable at this time, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, if Madame Ling is uncomfortable, then rest for a while. I'll just send them home later. ”

Lu Chiye's polite response, although it was not rude, was not at all as enthusiastic and talkative as he showed when he first got into the carriage.

It wasn't until I got closer and closer to the gate of the capital that I listened to the movement outside, and I seemed to find that the rain was much lighter, and it was no longer as violent as just now, so that people didn't even have the strength to move forward.

Listening to the coachman's reflection on the road conditions outside, until he had already walked to the city gate, Lu Chiye hurriedly patted the back of Qiu Yan's hand who lowered his head and closed his eyes, and looked politely at the son in front of him.

"Thank you Gongzi just now, now that we have arrived at the gate of the city, our husband and wife have to decide to go back first, thank you."

"Don't sit still for a while? Anyway, I'm going home, so why don't I give you two more rides, and I'll just send you to your doorstep later. ”

"Isn't Mrs. Ling a little unwell?" The boy and brother continued to stay.

"I took a break just now, and I'm already much better, thank you, childe." Qiu Yan was too lazy to have any further contact with this boy.

The man just now always looked at her, which always made him feel weird.

"In that case, then I won't keep two of them anymore, and be more careful on the road."

As he spoke, the boy lifted the curtain of the carriage himself.
