Chapter 58
I only take care of Ah Bao in the palace every day and rarely go out, even if the ladies and ladies of Youzhou City come to see me, I am not seen, so few people have seen my true face, so that Youzhou City has a variety of different versions of my appearance, and there are many people who are curious about my appearance, Chen Xie, he naturally does not want me to show up in front of people now, in order to make up for me, he has collected many books to relieve my boredom, as long as there is no official business, he will accompany me to talk, but I can't stand it for a long time, I still feel bored, Except for when Po was in front of me, I was in a better mood, but most of the other times I was depressed, and I gradually lost my appetite, I ate less, and I lost weight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Xie dismissed me several times to no avail.
On this day, I led Ah Bao to play in the garden, Ah Bao has already left, the garden is a mysterious place for him, there are countless treasures waiting for him to discover, he can play in the garden without anyone at all, even a flower and a leaf can make him happily fiddle for a long time. At this time, I was snubbed by him, so I had to sit in the pavilion and look at the sky and sigh. Just when I was bored, Chen Xie came to me, and he rarely entered the inner courtyard during the day, and most of the time he was in the front yard to discuss his military affairs with the strategists and generals. So I was very surprised when I saw him, he came over and hugged me, smiled and watched Po fiddling with the pile of leaves there, and opened his mouth to shout, "Po! Ah Bao, who heard the voice, turned his head and saw Chen Xie grinning, "Father! He immediately staggered towards the pavilion, and Chen Xie waited for him to run closer, bent down and hugged him in his arms, and affectionately pushed his little head against him. Then put Po on his lap.
I reached out to straighten Ah Bao's placket, and asked casually, "Why did Your Highness come back so early today?" "I'm going to patrol the border, just take you and Po out for a walk." I was a little surprised, Chen Xie's current entrenched Youyun Erzhou is located on the border of Yan and Xirong, Xirong has many large and small tribes, these people graze for a living, suck blood and eat meat, fierce and good at fighting, in the past, every year when the green and yellow are not harvested, they will secretly cross the border to loot property and grain, in recent years, due to the opening of the mutual market, the merchants in the interior will exchange grain, silk, tea and Xirong's tribes for horses, medicinal materials, so this situation is almost extinct. Chen Xie would go to the mutual exchange market every once in a while to inspect the combat readiness of the defenders by the way.
I've heard about the mutual market for a long time, and I've never had a chance to see it, but I'm glad to have the opportunity to see it now, but I'm a little worried about Bao, so I asked, "Bao is still young, can I take him with me?" "Don't worry, Bao's body is strong, we will bring more people to serve when we arrive, and there will be doctors with you, you can relax." When I think about it, Po's body has always been strong, and it's rare to have a headache and brain fever. I came interested, so I asked him where to go, what to prepare, Chen Xie saw that I was interested in explaining to me one by one, and also told a lot of interesting things when he went out, I was in a good mood that day, and I ate half a bowl of rice at dinner, Chen Xie was very happy.
Three days later, Chen Xie took me and Bao and a team of entourage on the road, just out of the city when I held Bao with a jade butterfly to sit in the carriage, not long Bao was tired, it happened that Chen Xie ran to my car, through the window asked me if I wanted to ride a horse, I opened the curtains, saw a tall horse beside him, this horse is a brown-red mane smooth and shiny, look at it to attract people, I haven't ridden for a long time I can't help but feel itchy, Bao shouted to his father, Chen Xie smiled and took him over, wrapped in his cloak and put it in front of himI stopped the carriage, put on my hat, got out of the carriage and jumped on the horse's back to whip my horse, and galloped up, and after a while I left the team, the cool wind whistled past my ears, and the trees on the side of the road retreated quickly, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being free and unrestrained at this moment...... I didn't spur the horse again, let the horse run slowly, and finally stopped on the side of the road leisurely eating the tender grass, I looked at the mountains and trees in the distance, waiting for the team behind, after a while, a sound of horses' hooves came, I turned my head, only to see Chen Xie running over with a small team of people.
He saw me stop on the side of the road, slowed down and stopped beside me after a while, a large bulging piece in front of him, pulled open the cloak, Bao's little head was exposed, he saw me and shouted, "Mother...... Mother...... Ride...... Ride...... I smiled and responded, "Is Po happy to ride a horse?" Ah Bao clapped his little hands and said with a smile: "Riding a horse, riding a horse" Chen Xie said with a smile: "Let's go first, there is a restaurant in the town in front of us, and the game there is good, I will take you to taste it." I looked back and saw that there were more than a dozen horsemen behind him, except for Jade Butterfly, who wore a hat like me, the rest were Chen Xie's personal guards. I nodded, Chen Xie covered Ah Bao with his cloak, and we urged the horse forward together.
Running up to know, the town in front is actually very far away, we ran until near noon to arrive at a small town, this town is backed by high mountains and dense forests, there is a winding river in front of the town, the river water is clear and shallow, there is a wooden bridge on the water, but we have not been from the bridge, the horse waded through the stream, on a stone road, immediately sounded the sound of horses' hooves, this town is not big, we walked along the stone road, on both sides are shops and restaurants, to the end of the road, is an inconspicuous small restaurant, It was said that it was a restaurant but there was no signboard, only a wine banner was picked on the bamboo fence, and there were several thatched houses in the courtyard, one of which was a gazebo, and we dismounted, tied the horse to the stone trough at the door, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
A burly man was squatting there with his back to us and grinding his knife, Chen Xie shouted: "Lao Cao, Lao Cao", the man turned his head, a dark face, a full beard, a pair of bright leopard eyes, a face full of horizontal meat, he stood up with a sharp knife, looking at the height of eight feet away, coupled with a strong body, it looked like a door god.
