Chapter 18: An Invitation to the Valley

Ao Qingxuan sat in the newly purchased gorgeous carriage and changed into a full set of women's clothes, a purple breast-length skirt with a sweetheart neckline, and simple ornaments on her hair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

This is the most conservative dress, but the dusty temperament and the delicate facial features carved in pink and jade make everyone who sees her deeply suspicious, and even the inner garden of the palace can't raise such a delicate and dusty person.

Before getting into the car, everyone was obviously shocked by her beauty, and their eyes kept looking at her, but she was indifferent, except for the object of her secret annoyance, which had been replaced by Ao Zhun.

thought that Helan Qiyou and his party would make her uncomfortable enough to follow her back to Hailong Valley, but Ao Zhun chose to make trouble at this time. He said that since the outsiders knew that Qingxuan was a woman, and now they were going out to go out with her, they had to take care of etiquette and asked her to sit in the carriage and not ride with others.

This has to make her think that her father talked about her marriage last night, and today he agreed to Ao Zhun's request, does it mean that her father will agree to marry her to Ao Zhun.

In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, customs were more open than in all dynasties, and it was acceptable for women to wear open-necked, low-cut skirts or hufus, men's clothes, and even husbands' clothes. Therefore, Ao Zhun insisted that she change her clothes and ride in the car, which really made Qing Xuan secretly dissatisfied with him, feeling that he would never give her so much freedom like his father.

Throughout the journey, I was so bored that I secretly opened the window and looked out the window, secretly hoping that I would bring at least one or two books with me to pass the time.

At this time, Gongsun Yuqi rode to her window.

He didn't need to rein in his horse, and the horse, as if he knew what he was thinking, automatically kept a flat line to keep up with the speed of her carriage, and could get close to her window without difficulty.

"You are very good at riding horses, and you are very familiar with horses?" Qingxuan couldn't help but ask him.

didn't expect her to speak first, and Gongsun Yuqi was very happy. "It's nothing! If the girl likes it, I can teach you later. ”

Hearing him say this, Qing Xuan did not answer.

"....Ao... Girl...."He couldn't get used to calling her girl, and was a little embarrassed.

"Call me Qinglin. She decided to change her mood, anyway, these people would definitely return to Sea Dragon Valley with her anyway, and it didn't help to be depressed. "Where we are going, there are hundreds of Ao girls, and when you shout, everyone really doesn't know who you are calling. ”

Gongsun Yuqi also felt happy when he heard her willingness to respond, so he laughed. This made him look like a handsome and cute big boy, and Qing Xuan unconsciously thought of his younger brother who was only ten years old.

Because he wanted to train him to inherit the burden of the sect master, he had almost completely lost this smile on his face.

"Really? but... Miss Qingxuan, you look good in women's clothes. It's just that the first time I saw your impression in men's clothes was too profound, the whole thing was a handsome guy, and even the young master couldn't compare to you. ”

Although his praise is set off by Helan Qiyou, she is not angry, Gongsun Yuqi is clearly the young master Helan Qiyou, who admires him very much, and he can't speak without him.

Qingxuan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly, with the momentum of her first sight on a moonlit night. "Really, then you should see me in my beard. ”

Ao Guangdi had bought goods from Yazhou to the markets on the Tibetan border, and he was happy to explore new things, and Hu merchants were able to supply cloth, supplies, and even horses that the Central Plains could not provide.

He had bought some of the most high-grade Hu clothes for Qing Xuan, all of which were rusted with top-quality moon-white satin and gold thread, and the dark patterns hid the scales of the golden dragon, and she wore them like a queen of an alien race.

**In the Tang Dynasty, it was popular for women to wear "Hu Fu". "Hufu" is the clothing of the people of the Western Regions. The form of the belt was also heavily influenced by Hufu. In the past, people's waist ornaments were made of gold, silver, copper and iron, and at this time it was popular to tie "sashes", with gold ornaments on the belts and short and small belts buckled for the purpose of tying. This kind of belt was most used in the Tang Dynasty, and was continued to be used until the Northern Song Dynasty.

According to the "Old Tang Dynasty Book and Clothing Chronicle", "there may be husbands' clothes, boots, and shirts, and the dignity of Neres and Nesi has always been consistent" has clearly recorded the scene of women wearing men's clothes. "The Five Elements of the New Tang Dynasty Book" records, "Gaozong tasted the internal banquet, the princess of Taiping purple shirt and jade belt, soap Luo folded the scarf, with seven things, singing and dancing in front of the emperor. The emperor and the queen smiled and said, "A woman can't be a military attaché, why dress for this?" It can be seen that the emperor also has a tolerant and appreciative attitude, and does not scold his daughter for not abiding by the etiquette law. Although this Taiping princess's move is a bit pampered, it also shows that there have been cases of women wearing men's clothing in the early Tang Dynasty. **

She didn't say what she looked like in a hufu, but it was enough for Gongsun Yuqi to look forward to whether she would really have a chance to see what was going on.

An unnatural cough came from behind, interrupting the casual conversation between the two, and Gongsun Yuqi remembered his task, and hurriedly took out a heavy roll of things from the bag lined up on the horse's body and handed it to her, and Qingxuan carefully took it.

"The young master asked me to give it to Miss Qingxuan. ”

After saying that, Gongsun Yuqi saw that Ao Zhun was also coming, so he rode to the side again, and Qingxuan put down the window when she saw Ao Zhun, she didn't want to see him at all for the time being.

She was very curious about the scroll, and probably guessed what it was, and opened it carefully, and sure enough, it was the latest version of the map that Daddy had mentioned that the Helan family had.

She was pleasantly surprised, and carefully examined each and every one of them, and painted them exquisitely. She had left the Sea Dragon Valley since she was a child, and everything was brought in from outside her father, and she was very happy to be able to see the drawings and reading materials of other places.

In particular, her father Ao Guangdi had only vaguely said that he had the intention of moving closer to the river basin, so she also paid special attention to this part. She has been studying carefully along the river basin, and she heard that the ships of the Haisha Gang can sail from south to north and out of the East China Sea, and she really yearns for it.

Studying the map made her forget about her unhappiness for a long time, but she wished she could stop quickly so that she could copy a copy. But if it's a gift of atonement, then it should be for her, right?

A rare smile crossed her lips, remembering that he had taken so much advantage from her last night, and she made up her mind that the map would not be returned.

Then every time she passed through a town, Gongsun Yuqi secretly sent her something.

Sometimes it's a variety of novels, sometimes it's an authentic snack, like orange balls and honey fried carved flowers. In Hailong Valley, they all have a lot of different calligraphy and paintings, as well as ancient and modern delicacies, but she has never seen and eaten them, and she thinks they are very fresh and strange.

Gongsun Yuqi said that everything was sent by Helan Qiyou, but he didn't come to talk to her in person, and he didn't follow the rules at night and didn't touch her room again.

This made Qing Xuan feel a little incomprehensible to him again, could it be that the previous frivolous behavior was really just to test her?
