In order to avoid the large army, our return route was adjusted, and the first stop was not Xiangwei, but Zechang City, which was dozens of miles away from Xining.

Zechang, which is located in the south of Dawu, has the reputation of the literary capital, just because it has produced three champions in the past 20 years, five lists, six tanhua, jinshi and a number of first, and there are many famous literary giants who live in seclusion here, so that the talented women of the world are leisurely fascinated by Zechang City, and there are countless scholars who seek to study.

Riding with Jiang Zhuo, I was so nervous that I was sweating, and in order to divert my attention, I had to keep asking questions; Fortunately, she did not get bored, but spoke patiently and meticulously about the town we were about to go to—listening to her introduction, my interest was spontaneous, and I just wanted to see the grand scene of the literati as soon as possible, and the original tension could not help but be relieved a little.

This horse is indeed a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and although it carries the two of us, it is still effortless; Fortunately, Jiang Zhuo controlled the horse for me, and there was no hindrance to drag my legs, and within a few hours, I saw the outer wall of Wendu Zechang from afar.

Suddenly, she grabbed the horse by the reins, and drove it around the corner, pacing into a grove not far away.

"What's wrong?" Stunned, she watched as she rolled over and dismounted, then handed me her hand and motioned for me to come down as well.

"It inevitably attracts unnecessary attention and changes clothes." She explained simply, her hand unbuttoning her blouse.

"Oh, that's reasonable......" In my daze, she had already taken off her coat and was about to untie her middle coat, I hurriedly took out the clothes that Yan Ke had prepared in advance from the baggage - and secretly glanced at Jiang Zhuo, she didn't pay attention to me, just took care of her own clothes.

Seeing that she was about to lift her middle coat and reveal the dirty clothes inside, I immediately went around to the other side of the white horse, forcing myself to look away and focus on the clothes in my hands—fortunately, this wind and snow were tall enough to cover the area below the neck, and also to guard the spring light of the other world.

I breathed a sigh of relief and began to struggle with the squire's uniform.

Silence spread, only the movement of the clothes rubbing.

At this time, Jiang Zhuo's slightly puzzled voice floated over from the other end: "Your Highness? ”

"You, you, don't come here! This king is changing clothes! "I tugged at my clothes for fear that she would come to the other side—but the more impatient I was, the more I could not take them off; In this cool weather, I was sweating all over.

"Yes." She agreed indifferently, with one hand on the saddle, the other on the white horse's neck, and lowered her head and did not look at me.

Seeing that she stayed where she was obediently and didn't mean to come, my heart was relaxed, but I couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably depressed: no matter what, Kuang Xihan's appearance and figure are first-class beauties, and she didn't even bother to look at it...... Is it because I don't have the slightest attraction to her?

"Your Highness, the hour is not early......" After a while, Jiang Zhuo finally couldn't help but urge.

"Uh, sorry, just wait for me a little longer!" Yan Ke prepared a set of moon-white brocade robes for me, and the outermost part was a matching dark tulle blouse, which was beautiful but also extremely cumbersome, and it took me a lot of effort to put the whole set of clothes neatly - I was so used to being served that I couldn't even wear a single piece of clothing, and when I thought about it, I was ashamed of myself.

In addition to this robe, there was also a stack of silver tickets in the baggage, a few ingots of silver and a jade jue, after thinking about it, I hid a silver ticket in the belt of the clothes, hung the jade jue, and the rest of the silver money was given to Jiang Zhuo, who was wearing a bright purple brocade robe: "Oh, our belongings are all handed over to you for safekeeping, Jiang Steward." ”

"Don't worry, I can save it." She took the money, bowed her hand to me, and helped me to my horse, while she took the reins and went forward.

-- The red horse she had ridden had already been released on the road, and we were left with only this one to travel back to the snow.

"Steward Jiang, won't you ride with me?" Seeing her leading the horse and walking unhurriedly, I rode leisurely on the horse, and I felt a little unhappy in my heart—or, perhaps, that I no longer had that warm embrace behind my back, which made me feel insecure.

"No need," she refused without looking back, "there is a difference between master and servant, what kind of system does it become to ride together?" Don't be afraid, the owner won't let you fall. ”

- Is there a difference between master and servant?

Hearing her say this, my heart felt like a mosquito suddenly bitten, sour and sour slight sting, but I couldn't scratch the itch, only silently waited for the redness and scabbing there to slowly fade.

When they entered the city, they had to dismount and be checked, and they saw that everyone was obediently lined up, and the guards searched their bodies in turn—the men were just that, and they were allowed to pass after a few interrogations, but the women had to grope their way from the inside out.

I saw the guards do these things with expressionless faces, but a little rudeness in their movements; The woman who was searched didn't pay much attention to it, as if she was used to the situation.

Seeing that it was about to be my turn with Jiang Zhuo, I was anxious and couldn't help but retreat.

Although I am also a woman, I can't bear to be touched by a stranger, let alone just confirm that I have a crush on Jiang Zhuo as a woman.

- Whether it's being slighted in front of her, or watching her be slighted in front of her, I won't allow that to happen.

Just as he was thinking about how to avoid the past, he saw Jiang Zhuo take out a silver tael from his arms, and stuffed it into the guard's hand with the cover of the sleeve, and explained warmly: "This lord, my young lady has a strange disease, and she can't contact outsiders, so please make it easier." ”

The guard glanced at me, nodded clearly, smiled ambiguously at Jiang Zhuo, and also lowered his voice and said, "The two of them eloped, right?" Eldest sister, I'm from here, and I've seen a lot! For the sake of your knowledge, I have to warn you a little - the little boy is too handsome, but be careful of being discovered by others...... Alright, let's get over it. ”

Being so close, I naturally heard the conversation between her and Jiang Zhuo clearly...... I couldn't refute it, so I could only smile stiffly at her and quickly turn my face - this gossip guard wouldn't have taken me as a rich young master who disguised himself as a woman to elope with his lover, right?

Alas, I'd rather she guessed right.

But I'm not a handsome boy, and Jiang Zhuo is not my elopement partner.

"Thank you." Jiang Zhuo didn't clarify, arched his hand with her and walked forward-I don't know if it was to confirm the guard's misunderstanding, she took the initiative to hold my hand, and walked side by side with me quite affectionately...... Don't be abandoned. ”

After being reminded by her, I quickly corrected my unconsciously posture of being with hands and feet - it was so embarrassing.

It wasn't until I hid into the noisy and bustling street market, and was sure that it was beyond the reach of the Shouwei satellite line, that Jiang Zhuo let go of the hand on my shoulder.

In order to hide the embarrassment and inexplicable loss of that moment, I pretended to be attracted by the vendors on both sides of the road, and turned my eyes to look - this one was really interested.

has always been confined in the palace and the court, rare opportunity to see the scene of folk crafts and sales, novelty, hidden in the bones of the desire to shop has also been stimulated, here to see, there to touch, have fun.

"The proprietor ......" When I was haggling with the vendor with a carved wooden hairpin, Jiang Zhuo patted me on the shoulder in disbelief, handed over a piece of silver, and raised his chin coldly at the vendor, "No need to look for it." ”

"Hey! Thank you! The little one will be wrapped for you right away! "The peddler was also clever, and before I could repent, he took the hairpin into a slender box, wrapped it in a blue coarse hemp cloth, and handed it to me with both hands, and smiled so hard that I could not see my teeth.

"Okay......" sighed, put the things away, forced himself not to care about the triumphant smile on the peddler's face, and followed Jiang Zhuo away.

To be honest, I didn't really like the hairpin, I just enjoyed the process of bargaining with the vendor.

The carving of this hairpin is quite meticulous, but the wood used is only ordinary fir wood, at most twenty copper plates are enough; And the ingot of silver that Jiang Zhuo gave out just now weighed about one or two, equivalent to a thousand copper plates; According to the price of Dawu, 1,000 copper plates can buy about 200 white flour steamed buns, one white fresh meat bun, 50 pots of rice wine, and 20 roast chickens...... Tsk, the more you calculate, the more distressed you become, it's not such a waste of money to have!

――I really can't see that Jiang Zhuo is still a hidden loser.

In the future, if she hands over the financial power of the family to her, she may be reduced to drinking the northwest wind...... But that's just my imagination.

If she is really willing to accept me, even if she loses her family and lives a life of poverty, I will admit it.

Still struggling with this account, Jiang Zhuo had already pulled me into an inn.

I handed the white horse to the shopkeeper who greeted her, she gave a few words, and gave a reward, and it was another ingot of silver with white flowers, I shook my head, and simply let her go - anyway, I gave her all the silver, as long as she was happy.

Entering the inner hall of the inn, the shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus raised his head and greeted with a smile: "The two guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Jiang Zhuo nodded, and casually slapped a silver ingot on the counter: "An upper room." ”

My gaze snapped back from the silver, and I confirmed in disbelief, "One, one? ”

――How did you become economical at this time?

"Steward Jiang, you don't have to save money for me...... We're going to spend it! I couldn't help but persuade, "Or, two, right?" ”

"One, bring some food." She glanced at me faintly, but still did not change her opinion, and clapped her head.

The shopkeeper naturally listened to whom, laughed at me a few times, and handed the number plate to Jiang Zhuo diligently, shouting Xiao Er to lead us upstairs.

"......" I took a deep breath, suppressed my depression, and followed Jiang Zhuo upstairs.

-- The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and it is indeed a truth that is common in all parts of the world, both ancient and modern.

My biggest concern was: What should I do when I go to bed at night?

I wasn't mentally prepared for the fact that I had sex with her!
