In the morning, the sun pierces the rainy white fog, and the sky is clear and warm.
The carriage gradually slowed down, and Yu Qiao looked out through the screen window, beside a sparkling moat was a low bluestone sheep wall, and a towering arrow tower with a bright yellow roof stood inside, and more than a dozen soldiers walked back and forth and looked around.
"Miss, look, it's the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May!" Chun Zi said suddenly.
Yuqiao was stunned, and sure enough, the peasants or merchants who passed by the carriage came to open the city gate before dawn so that they could do morning market business.
Carrying the burden, pulling the truck, it is full of bundles of peach willow branches, pu leaves, Buddhist wormwood, bright green, heavy hanging, as well as five-colored flower fan, molasses pickled fruit, small horn zongzi and glutinous rice cake balls wrapped in strings, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass leaves and glutinous rice.
"Bixiu, I want to eat zongzi!" Yuqiao was a little greedy, Baba saw that someone on the side of the road was holding a stove and burning a big iron pot, the lid was lifted, the smoke was swirling, cooking zongzi, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and some people who got up early and didn't have time to eat, spent a penny to buy a few zongzi, and neatly plucked the leaves on the side, revealing the snow-white glutinous rice, and ate it sweetly.
Bixiu opened the door and didn't open her mouth, but saw her uncle hand over two strings of hot rice dumplings and a white sugar plate.
"Uncle is so coincidental, Miss is clamoring for food." Bixiu hurriedly took it and said with a smile.
Zhou Zhenwei swept towards Yuqiao as if he didn't have anything, and looked at the woman's delicate belly pretentiously, throwing a crisp flattering glance at him.
Hum! This will think of trying to please him, and when it comes to hurtful words, how can it be so brainy.
"This is what Gu Wu bought for you, not her share." Zhou Zhenwei threw down the cruel words, and then turned around and grinned and left. Gu Wu stepped up from the back, leaned over to look at her and said, "One string was bought by me for you, and the other string was bought by Lord Zhou." ā
"I don't want you to buy it!" Bixiu's face flushed, and she closed the door of the compartment.
When I turned around, I saw Yuqiao rubbing the handkerchief, with interesting eyes.
Stuffy put the sugar dish in front of the lady, opened the dumpling leaves and inserted them with bamboo chopsticks, and handed them forward.
Yuqiao took it, dipped it in some frosting, bit off the sharp corner of one end of the zongzi, and ate it slowly, only feeling soft and sweet between his lips and teeth, full of fresh taste.
"Miss, have you made my uncle angry again these days?" Bixiu asked with some concern. My uncle spoils the young lady very much, and it is difficult to be so temperamental.
They are all people who want to be fathers, and what kind of aged vinegar do they eat! Yuqiao ate with relish, he wanted to be angry and let him go, anyway, she was in a good mood.
The carriage began to move forward again, and after passing the urn city, it came to the three-story city tower with the same bright yellow roof, and at this time the city gate was wide open, and the city gate guards were in good spirits, and from time to time stopped people to conduct an investigation.
Zhou Zhenwei saw a sedan chair placed by the city gate from a distance, horses tied in a mess, seven or eight burly men clustered together, occasionally muttering a few words, and stretching out their necks to look, as if waiting for someone. The disciple's heart was relieved, and he whispered a few words to Gu Wu, took the lead in tightening the reins, and rode straight towards those people.
It was only a little effort, and the carriage had arrived.
Zhou Zhenwei opened the door and asked Chun Zi Bixiu to get out of the car first, and then opened his arms to Yuqiao, waiting to hug her.
Yu Qiao moved to the side of the car, and was about to take Zhou Zhenwei's hand, but saw a circle of men behind him, and looked at her sneakily, very curious, and hurriedly shrank in, his eyes were puzzled: "Zhou Lang, who are those?" ā
"I'm not afraid, it's the guards I followed when I was a general, and I went to serve as the governor of Shandong, and they all defected. It's good that they have martial arts, and they need their help on the way to Quancheng this time! Zhou Zhenwei said concisely, but the light in his eyes flickered, and in the bustling crowd, several figures flashed suddenly, and there was no trace in an instant. Trailing all the way, but there is patience.
"I'll take your shoulder, you can hold my waist, I can step down!" Yuqiao was a little ashamed, and in front of everyone's eyes, she refused to let him hug him.
Zhou Zhenwei frowned slightly, his solid arms wrapped around her plump waist, Yuqiao was about to step forward, but he was suddenly forced, and fell into his arms by surprise, and couldn't help but hug the man's neck tightly in panic, so frightened that he didn't dare to let go.
"Aren't you going to come down on your own? Hug me so tightly! I like her to rely on herself, pouting her little red lips, "å³....", there is a fragrance of zongzi.
Yuqiao raised his head, his eyes sparkling at him, this person is bad! Knowing that she was shy, he deliberately played tricks on her.
swept the big men again, and they were all dumbfounded. His cheeks were stained with rouge, and he clenched his fists and wanted to beat him, but he paused, and simply covered his hands with a handkerchief, and pinched him on the waist.
"Brother Zhou!" Crisp, with a joyful call, Yuqiao saw a woman wearing a honey-colored striped gauze cardigan and a bean-green sprinkling silk skirt, combing her double buns, inserting only a little jade fish and lotus hairpins, standing in front of them, as if she didn't notice her, she only tugged at Zhou Zhenwei's sleeves affectionately, and smiled at him with both eyes.
Zhou Zhenwei waved his sleeves and looked at a man, with a slightly stern tone: "Why did you bring the girl?" Don't you know she's a troublemaker? ā
The man secretly complained, Lord Zhou had a cold temperament, and he didn't touch the female color when he was on the border, who would have thought that he would marry a daughter-in-law so soon, look at the beautiful and upright belly, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I haven't delayed for half a time! I just pity this girl with a budding heart, looking forward to coming!
Hurriedly approached the front of the hand, pulled the sister to Yuqiao, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mrs. Zhou in Xia Zhao Guanghui, I have worked under Lord Zhou, this is my sister-in-law Zhao Susu, because Aunt Quancheng brought a letter, let my sister live for a few months, I had to bring it, as soon as I arrived in Quancheng, I will send her away, and I hope Mrs. Zhou will forgive me." ā
Yu Qiao broke away from Zhou Zhenwei's big hand on his waist, and when he saw the girl, he looked at himself with a shocked and inexplicable expression. Zhao Guanghui said softly: "I can't do this, if my husband is willing, I am naturally very willing." ā
Zhao Guanghui secretly tugged at the sleeve of the sister's shirt, and asked her to come forward to thank Mrs. Zhou, she never thought that she was a stubborn girl, her eyes were red, she only looked at Zhou Zhenwei with a small mouth, wiped her tears with hatred, gritted her teeth and said: "Brother Zhou promised to marry me, why did you bring the lady now, what do you want me to do!" As he spoke, he stomped his feet and cried "wow".
Zhou Zhenwei heard this, his face instantly darkened, and he glanced at Yuqiao in a blink of an eye, and saw that she was half-hanging her head, unable to see her demeanor clearly, only faintly smiling at the corners of her mouth, supporting her waist with one hand, and slowly caressing her bulging belly with the other.
"The baby is making a fuss?" Zhou Zhenwei hurriedly approached and covered it with a generous palm, and sure enough, the two little guys felt sorry for their mother and were bullied, and slapped him hard in the palm, hateful daddy.
"Alas!" Yu Qiao snorted softly, squeamish.
The hearts of the onlookers also trembled with the sound of sighs.
looked at Lord Zhou again, rubbing the little lady's shy belly painfully, and looked at Zhao Susu fiercely, with a burning face.
