The new coachman arrived early this morning to report for duty. He is a man in his thirties, silent and reticent, named Gu Heng.
As he was about to hit someone, Gu Heng pulled the reins and steadily brought the carriage to a stop.
Xia Wenjin squinted her eyes, and Nanny Zhou had already lifted the curtain, looking out from inside the carriage. There were three carriages just in front of Xia Wenjin's, which had just come to a halt. As the passengers disembarked and were about to leave, they noticed Xia Wenjin's inconspicuous carriage.
The plain blue cloth carriage was out of place among the luxurious ones.
Among those from the three carriages, the man on the left wore a suit of bright green brocade clothes, which, instead of making him look lively and energetic, only highlighted his pale face, as if he were malnourished.
The other two were young women, around the ages of fifteen or sixteen, clearly unmarried girls of eligible age.
