There is only one annoyance, that is, it is not very convenient to enter the gourd cave.
No matter how wide the ship is, it is not as good as home, there is only a wooden board between the cabin and the cabin, in order to save space, the door is pushed flat and there is no bolt, although the maids will knock on the door to report, in the end they dare not be careless, and there is no urgency, and the splendid will never disappear in the daytime adventure.
And the couple have been married for a few months, and the days they have been together are less than two months, so they especially cherish the reunion time, and they are almost inseparable day and night on the ship.
Fortunately, this guy has to get up early every morning to practice his fists and feet, this habit does not change in the wind and rain, and Jinxiu also took advantage of that time to quickly sneak into the cave to practice the Heart Sutra for two hours, the time of the cave is different from the outside, and when she flashes out and lies in the quilt, Luo Zhen has not finished practicing!
As for her own request to practice martial arts with Hong Caiyi and Jiang Yan, she can still practice on time at the beginning, and she will be lazy after the weather gets cold - in her previous life, she has been fighting in her uncle's martial arts hall since she was a child, and the moves are not difficult for her, and after practicing the Heart Sutra, she feels that her internal strength has increased and accumulated little by little, and her current force value is on par with Hong Caiyi, just make those basic things look good, as long as people know that she Baoding Hou has practiced, don't be too surprised by the weight of her hands and feet!
And Luo Zhen took a sheep-herding attitude towards Jinxiu's martial arts. She is willing to learn if she doesn't learn to pull down, and he is not willing to suffer from his wife! So he never thought of teaching Jinxiu in person, and he got up early and exercised in the morning for fear of waking her up, but he knew that she loved to sleep lazy. Every time, I carefully wanted to get out of bed, quietly walked out of the cabin to the open place at the bow of the ship, practiced all kinds of fists and feet, came back to take a shower and rubbed onto the bed to hold the little woman firmly, and watched her sleep before waking up, anyway, I couldn't see enough, if I woke up, it would be better. The two of them got tired of the warm quilt. Then get up and put it on.
Jinxiu naturally likes this sweet and warm life, and can't wait to live like this with Luo Zhen forever, with large tracts of ripe grain in the fields of Dongtian, as well as mushrooms in orchards, vegetable gardens, medicine gardens, and miscellaneous forests. Ignore it. Anyway, if they are not harvested, they will be still on the branches. It doesn't matter if you miss a few harvests!
But the ones that move, the fish and shrimp in the river are fine, and the birds that fly in the air. The chickens, ducks and geese on the river beach are reproducing too fast and are arguing in groups, almost against the sky!
Every time Jinxiu goes in, she can't wait to let them out as wild fowl, but in the end she is reluctant, thinking that she will find a mid-sky idle day and then clean them up!
At this time, I understood a little why the former owner of the gourd cave, Daoist Yunyi, didn't feed living things, and complained that people could become immortals and ascend to heaven, and sure enough, he was a layman, and he couldn't stand on the same ladder as the Taoist!
I only hope that there are a lot of Dao Elders and that they know that they have made the gourd cave heaven that he has built with his hard work like this, so don't be too angry!
Half a month after the boat docked, everyone changed to a horse-drawn carriage and took the straight road, the two boats carrying heavy goods and most of the entourage and servants still went along the waterway, and it didn't matter if the supplies and irrelevant people returned to the capital later.
There were already people walking in front of the road to explore the road and arrange the carriage and horses, the carriage was padded with thick cushions, all four horses pulled the cart, the speed was naturally very fast, even so, there were still seven or eight days away from the capital.
When I first went ashore, it was a snowy day, fortunately, there was no rain, and the official road in this area was also flat and not difficult to walk, Luo Zhen accompanied Jinxiu in the car, playing chess and playing cards or getting some small games such as Luban locks, lost the forehead and won a reward with a kiss, there is no way Jinxiu does not understand the high-end atmosphere and brain-draining Go, Luo Zhen is willing to play these children's games for the reward, and he naturally feels that it is fun to play with his heart, and only the two of them always have bursts of laughter in the carriage along the way, and they are as happy as picking up a treasure.
After a few days of snow, Luo Zhen took Jinxiu out of the carriage and taught her to ride a horse in person, first riding a horse together, and then seeing that she looked good, she picked a tame little mare for her to ride herself, and shook the horse to spur the horse to gallop freely on the official road, that feeling was so refreshing, it was incomparable with sitting in the carriage, Jinxiu was very happy and smiling, Luo Zhen wanted her to be in such a good mood, and she laughed happily.
The people sitting in the carriage of the same car, seeing the couple coming all the way and having fun with no one to take care of themselves, all looked at each other resentfully, except for Second Uncle Jia, who was sincerely happy for this young couple who were in love.
When she was about to arrive at the imperial city, Jinxiu honestly sat in the carriage, accompanied by fragrant peach tea, and Luo Zhen rode in front, because ten miles outside the city, many people would come to greet her.
As soon as the Luo family's convoy stopped, a large group of people in brocade clothes poured up, laughing and shouting for a while, and all they heard in their ears were all kinds of shouting and greeting each other.
I don't know if the other ladies got off the car, because Luo Zhen didn't let her get out of the car, her carriage was parked more than a dozen steps away from the crowd, and seven or eight guards surrounded it, and no one was allowed to approach.
Jinxiu probably didn't understand what he meant, and her heart was sweet, although she was not a delicate little white flower, but she was collected and protected like a baby like this, how could she not be happy.
The carriage stayed outside the long pavilion for more than half an hour, and when it was about to move again, Aunt Rong beside Jia Ting came to say goodbye and told Second Uncle Jia's words:
"There are so many people here, Xiu'er doesn't have to get out of the car, someone comes to pick up my uncle, so I'll go back first. Xiu'er always has to go to Luo's house first to get acquainted with that side, there must be nothing to worry about with Zhen'er with you, wait for three or two days, and your husband and wife will come to your uncle's house by yourself! ”
Jinxiu and Aunt Rong corresponded to two sentences, and sent her away, pondering Second Uncle Jia's words and thinking it was very interesting, he didn't say that his uncle sent someone to pick him up, but you should come to your uncle's house yourself!
After a while, Baoliang also turned around and reported to Jinxiu: "Master Hou asked the little one to tell the young lady: We are going to enter the city." Hou Ye is not far ahead, and he has seen a lot of people. There are some words that can't be over, the young lady doesn't need to be nervous, the young lady looks at the young lady's car, and the young lady will come over after a while! ”
Jinxiu said in a rambling voice: "I know, I'm not nervous. ”
Isn't it just to enter an imperial city, what's there to be nervous about, young lady, I have been to several imperial cities in my last life!
Foreign ones don't count, the local Beijing, Nanjing, Bianjing, Xi'an, Luoyang, plus a Shengjing, where haven't you played for a few days!
Today's imperial city is called Chang'an? Whether it is related to Xi'an in later generations or not. That's how it should be anyway!
Soon after entering the city gate. Luo Zhen approached and knocked on the window of Jinxiu's car, Jinxiu opened a corner of the curtain, and Luo Zhen whispered: "It's very tiring to come back all the way, I only say that you are not well." pushed the banquet of the Guogong Mansion tonight...... You remember. It doesn't matter who invites you later. Don't go along! Let's go back to our own home first! ”
Jinxiu nodded again and again: "I understand!" Of course, go back to our house first! ”
Luo Zhen saw that the smile on the corner of her lips was looming, and the appearance of the ghost elf made people want to lean over and take a bite, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two little girls inside. I had to rest my mind and motioned to Jinxiu to put down the curtains - he didn't agree to meet Mrs. Hou when his friends outside the city wanted to see him, this would be full of people on the street, but he couldn't give it a look!
Don't let the curtains open, Jinxiu can only sit dry, secretly thinking that this kind of dynasty is really a pit sister, and finally take a car out of the door and can't enjoy the scenery along the way, so that you can't see anything with a touch of your eyes, isn't it easy to be hijacked? As long as the bad guy kills the coachman sitting in front of him, whether it is a soft girl or a lady in the car, or gold and silver wealth, it will all belong to others!
It's okay to think about it, I feel that the carriage has been going for a long time, it is estimated that this imperial city is indeed very large, and the noise outside must be full of lively streets, but it is always impossible to go to the ground.
Finally, the carriage slowly stopped, Jinxiu and Xiangtaoxiangcha glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "This is here, right?" ”
But he heard Luo Zhen talking to a woman outside, and after a while, he heard them approaching the carriage together, Luo Zhen stretched out his hand and opened a corner window and asked hypocritically:
"Is the young lady better? This is the eldest young grandmother of the Guogong Mansion, if the young lady can still move, she will come down to see her? ”
A gentle female voice said with a smile: "How can the third brother talk like this?" The three brothers and sisters came from afar, and their bodies were naturally very tired, which is also the reason for sitting for a long time. Why don't I go up and take a look at the three brothers and sisters, if the legs and feet are sore and uncomfortable, I will also rub them, my grandmother praises me for my good skills, I rub the three brothers and sisters, I will be able to slow down! ”
"Don't dare to bother my sister-in-law! The embroidery is young, and the bones are not as hard as the old lady, but you can't help rubbing! ”
Luo Zhen lowered the curtain of the car, and his originally gentle tone suddenly became indifferent.
Jinxiu listened to Luo Zhen's words, almost choked on a mouthful of tea that was drunk into her mouth, handed the cup to Xiangcha, and secretly thought: Grandma of the Guogong Mansion, Luo Zhen called that woman to be a sister-in-law again, that should be the wife of Luo Song's eldest son Luo Rui! Sure enough, Luo Zhen really guessed that someone came to invite him to return to the Gongfu, and ...... Is this to stop people on the street?
Splendid can not see the situation outside naturally do not know, in fact, this place is not a street, but a street, a large archway erected at the entrance of the street, on the top of the written "Ronghua Street", from the archway in, a whole Ronghua Street only lives two households, one is the Chengguo Mansion, the other is the Taishi Mansion, equivalent to two families each occupy half a street, which is very rare in the capital, like such a prominent family, now less than ten households.
Luo Zhen naturally didn't live in the Guogong Mansion if he had the Hou Mansion, but when he came in from Dongcheng today, he and Jinxiu had to pass through Ronghua Street, so they were stopped by Grandma Luo sent by the Guogong Mansion without accident.
In other words, Grandma Luo doesn't go to stop people on the street, but stands at the intersection of her house, and when she sees it, she comes up to say hello, and then invites the third brother and the third brother and sister to return to the mansion, which is a logical thing!
Jinxiu was still thinking that when Luo Zhen first started talking to Grandma Luo, he seemed to be very polite and polite, according to his attitude towards Luo Yan and the Jin family, it is really rare to be able to treat Grandma Luo so gentlemanly, it seems that this Grandma Luo should be different from Jin's mother and daughter.
Over there, Xiangtao had already approached the door of the car, and said loudly outside: "Back to Master Hou: The young lady has a headache and her body hurts, and she just woke up and drank some water after sleeping for a long time, and now she seems to be asleep again!" ”
"Got it, the good student is serving, let's go back to the house and invite a doctor to take a look!" Luo Zhen's tone was brisk, and he immediately said goodbye to Grandma Luo: "I have to hurry up and take the embroidery back, sister-in-law, please retreat, don't let the carriage touch!" ”
Jinxiu was speechless, and said in her belly: Can you pair of masters and servants who open their eyes and talk nonsense pretend to be a little more like?
Grandma Luo is not a fool, I only heard her say with some anxiety: "Oh, the situation of my brother and sister is so strict, I can't delay it!" I see that my younger brothers and sisters only bring a few maidservants, and there are not many people serving in the third brother's house, the third brother, you are at the border all the year round, and you are also a careless man, there are some things you don't understand about the women, or I will follow the past to see and rest assured! ”
There was silence outside, and Jinxiu could imagine Luo Zhen eating turtles, and she almost couldn't help laughing.
"Sister-in-law, the old lady and the lady have just returned home, why don't you hurry up and serve, it's very boring to grind with me here, right?"
Luo Zhen is not the kind of person who is willing to spend time coaxing, Jinxiu guessed correctly just now, in addition to being a person, this Grandma Luo was the sister of a friend of Luo Zhen before marrying into the Guogong Mansion, so Luo Zhen has some respect for her, but at this time he lost his patience, and his words were as cold as ice and snow, which really made Grandma Luo retreat.
But she still didn't give up, and persuaded softly: "Third brother, sister-in-law knows your thoughts, but you also have to think about the third brother and sister, she has just returned to the capital, and she didn't even enter the ancestral house, how can it be spread out in the future?" It's not like I'm waiting here for no reason, it's because my second brother brought my grandmother back from outside the city and talked to my grandfather, and my grandfather asked me to come over......"
Jinxiu blinked: What does this have to do with Luo Fang? Anyway, did Luo Fang go to the Changting outside the city to pick up people? Well, he was hidden in the carriage in the snow, and even if he went, he would not see it!
Outside the car, Luo Zhen's tone became more and more cold: "Grandma Luo knows what I think?" Where do you see that I don't think about my wife? Is it wrong that my embroidery has walked so far back to the capital, and I am tired and sick, and I can't get out of the car and enter the ancestral house? What kind of unpleasant words is the eldest grandmother going to say to her? I will preach it to you, but don't go too far, and don't let me hear it, or you know that I have never spared wicked women! ”
After saying this, Luo Zhen flicked his whip, Jinxiu and Xiangcha Xiangtao were still listening with their ears pricked up, and the carriage suddenly ran forward, and the three masters and servants were defenseless, rolling pumpkins in the car and rolling to a corner, fortunately, the cushions everywhere were soft and thick, and they were not injured, but they were also startled.
