twenty-nine

In this way, they stayed in Shenjiazhuang for several more days, and then when Ye Changsheng's body was completely fine, Chu Liuxiang was ready to leave here. Although Shen Rushan didn't tell them where Pingzhou was in the end, he did ask them to go to Yunyang City first, where they had the clues they needed.

Chu Liuxiang got Dabai, who had been playing crazy for several days, and he had been living freely and unrestrained for the past few days, and he had eaten a lot fatter than when he came before. Ye Changsheng was held and sat on the horse, Chu Liuxiang was holding the horse rope and standing aside, and the two of them were saying goodbye to Shen Rushan.

"Brother Shen, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit again." Chu Liuxiang said to his old friend that if he didn't have something important to do, he would be willing to stay here for a few more days.

However, Shen Rushan's focus was not on him at all, and now Chu Liuxiang had no place in his heart. His gaze crossed him and fell on Ye Changsheng, who was sitting high on horseback, this was his nearest sweetheart.

Although Ye Changsheng is going out because he wants to go out, he is now wearing the pockmarked face mask again, but this does not prevent Shen Rushan from staring at him with warm eyes, and his tone is kind: "Changsheng, remember to come back to see your father-in-law more often, if you can't find that Laoshizi Pingzhou, come to your father-in-law, and your father-in-law will take you to raise flowers and grass, as well as peach blossom cakes." ”

Couldn't stand his burning gaze, Ye Changsheng moved his body uncomfortably, he was really scared of being pestered by this strange Mr. Shen these days, either pulling himself to play chess or discussing poetry and songs. Although he also liked this kind of activity, Shen Rushan looked at him with the eyes that wanted to eat him the whole time, which made him a little scared.

Chu Liuxiang didn't greet him for a long time, and finally only made a gesture, and then got on the horse and left the Shen family with Ye Changsheng.

It wasn't until Da Bai ran away and couldn't see the plaque of the Shen family that Ye Changsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, now you're finally at ease?" Chu Liuxiang wanted to laugh when she saw his timid appearance, so she teased him.

Ye Changsheng hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, he always looks at me with that kind of look, and he can't hide from me." ”

"Brother Shen likes you, it's just that he doesn't express it differently from ordinary people." Chu Liuxiang explained to him.

"He obviously likes my face!" Ye Changsheng was not easy to fool and exposed Chu Liuxiang's lies.

Chu Liuxiang laughed out loud.

The two laughed for a while, and Ye Changsheng sat on the back of the horse and suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that I still haven't asked about the news of Pingzhou, what should I do?" ”

"Brother Shen didn't say that he had his own reasons, he said let's go to Yunyang, there will definitely be some clues there, don't worry, I will accompany you to find it."

"Hmm......" Ye Changsheng nodded, and took out a brightly colored handkerchief from his arms to wipe his face.

Chu Liuxiang's sharp eyes found that the handkerchief was a little different from the previous ones, and the style did not look like the ones that Ye Changsheng was used to, so he asked, "Where did this handkerchief come from?" I haven't seen you use it. ”

"This?" Ye Changsheng turned around and held up the thing in his hand, and replied in confusion: "This was given to me by A-Qing, and it was forced to me when she came to me yesterday, I obviously have my own handkerchief, I don't need her to send it again, but she doesn't listen and has to give it to me." ”

"But this veil is so ugly, and I don't know what it's embroidered, I don't like it."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes were more knowledgeable than him, and he could see at a glance that this semi-finished product must have been embroidered by Shen Qing himself. If a girl gives away her embroidered handkerchief to another man, then the meaning of it is already obvious, and anyone with a little experience knows it.

But it was someone else, Ye Changsheng didn't have any experience in this area, so naturally he didn't think about it in this regard, he just muttered that this handkerchief was not good-looking and didn't like such words.

Chu Liuxiang pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand and dragged the embroidered handkerchief in his hand over to look at it, calmly stuffed it into his arms and said: "Changsheng, it's better for me to help you keep this handkerchief first, after all, this color is a common thing for girls, it's a bit bad for you to carry it with you, others will laugh at you." ”

"Oh...... Good. Ye Changsheng obediently agreed, without thinking about the meaning at all, besides, he didn't like this handkerchief anyway, one more piece or one less piece had no effect, there were a lot of things on him, all of them were better than this.

The two of them talked while hurrying like this, although Yunyang was a little far away from Shenjiazhuang, but fortunately, the road was very smooth, and if you took the official road quickly, it would probably take a little more than a week.

The weather was gradually getting cooler, and it was already late autumn in a blink of an eye, Chu Liuxiang changed another batch of equipment for Ye Changsheng's whole body, wrapping him thickly and more like a ball. Of course, it is definitely not suitable to sleep outside in this season, so Chu Liuxiang usually rushes during the day, trying to find an inn to stay in before dark.

It's okay that there is nothing to do along the way, but when you stay in an inn or teahouse during the period, you can always hear some literati and inkmen talking about the situation in the court, although Chu Liuxiang has not yet been able to sort out the relationship between those henchmen and the prince, but looking at Ye Changsheng's more and more dignified little face and gradually decreasing, you can know that the situation is not developing well.

Even when he was asleep at night, Ye Changsheng began to be often woken up by nightmares for no reason, and he was scared into a cold sweat, and then he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night. Every time this happens, Chu Liuxiang will naturally wake up, and always have to soothe him softly for a long time before he can fall asleep again, so he will always ask the shopkeeper to light a calming incense in advance.

"Changsheng, do you really want to tell me the purpose of your trip to Pingzhou?" Chu Liuxiang looked at Ye Changsheng, who was silent, and persuaded him earnestly: "You can actually trust me, we have been friends for so long after all." ”

Ye Changsheng shook his head sullenly: "Brother Chu, don't ask, this is my Ye family's business." ”

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and once again gave up asking, he could get to Yunyang in a day or two, Changsheng had always refused to cooperate with him, so he could only choose to guard on the side.

"I'm sorry......" Ye Changsheng apologized a little sadly, he was serious and didn't want to involve Chu Liuxiang, it was precisely because Brother Chu was too good to him that he couldn't say these things to him. He thought about it, and when he arrived in Pingzhou, or met Tianjia, he immediately said goodbye to Chu Liuxiang.

"It's okay, I said, no matter what kind of ideas you have, Brother Chu will help you." Chu Liuxiang couldn't bear to see him sad, and patted his head.
