The official ship docked to the sound of the whistle.

Of course, Xia Chuqi was not stupid enough to get off the boat with Zhao Bottle affectionately at this time when everyone was in the limelight, and went to eat the thunderbolt eyes and cold wind eyes from all directions.

She is a wise woman.

She has to be tense when she should be tight, and she has to pretend when she should pretend, and in this situation, it is time for her to hide her edge, so she has to pretend to be low-key, so that she can live a longer life.

Now when she gets off the boat, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Zhao Bottle, she wants to learn from those shallow-eyed women, and she can't wait for everyone to know that she is Zhao Bottle's "prostitution", so that everyone knows that Zhao Bottle spoils her, then she probably won't wait for tomorrow to dawn, and then go to see Lord Yama.

"Master, I have a business."

Tugging at the hand he was holding, she whispered in a soft voice.

"What?"

Zhao Yu still looked faintly paralyzed, although he asked her what was wrong, but there was obviously no doubt in his expression.

"Master, my friend, it's the Gu father and daughter, they first came to Beijing, they brought so much luggage, they are not familiar with the place, a kind person like me, I have to help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west, right? Anyway, I'm going to have to send them to my doorstep, right? ”

"You're very familiar with Jingshi?"

His voice was very low, as if he was asking her, and as if he was not asking, but it was the seventh day of the first summer month? One? Root? Read? The novel xstxt was stunned. I have to say that Zhao Zhu is quite good at catching the leaky eyes in people's words, and if he is not careful, he will be bypassed.

"That's not what I meant."

coughed dryly, Xia Chuqi secretly pulled the corners of his clothes again, pretending to be docile and well-behaved, curling the corners of his lips and looking at him with a smile.

"Didn't I ask the master, you send a carriage and a coachman, with the carriage and the coachman, I am not familiar with it?"

"Ye can send someone to send them, I don't need you."

Seems to make sense of what he said, right?

Xia Chuqi looked at his majestic and cold face, and tried his best to find the steps that he could go down, and his face was stunned and smiling, and it looked very distorted.

"Master, Chu Qi is very curious about everything when he first came to Chadao, and he has never seen the bustling street scene of Jingshi, you know, I am so lively, I want to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, and I will return to my house later......"

Zhao Zhu looked at her from top to bottom, and hesitated before answering.

"Yes."

With a joy in his heart, Xia Chuqi let go of him and made a long throw at him with his fists.

"Chu Qi Xie Ye is compassionate."

"But ......"

As soon as the two faint words came into his ears, Xia Chuqi knew that this guy would not let her go so easily, and he would always seize every opportunity in his favor to find her. Sure enough, but in an instant, I heard him say lightly, "Ye was originally going to take Ah Qi back to the house, and now Ah Qi has left Ye alone, how are you going to compensate Ye?" ”

And to compensate?

Damn, Xia Chuqi can't wait to bite him to death.

There was a lot of blood brewing in his heart, and Xia Chuqi stared at him a little hairy.

"What do you want?"

"What do you have?"

"What do you want? Lao Tzu has everything. ”

"Oh" lightly, just when Xia Chuqi thought that this guy would take the opportunity to extort her for a sum of money, or take the opportunity to take advantage of her, he heard him say slowly, "Tonight, when the master comes back from the palace, you wait for the master to bathe." ”

Bath?

Last time I was kicked into the river by her in Qinggang, doesn't count, do you still want to do this?

Bathing him is not a big deal.

Bathing him can also see that the beautiful man looks at the boy chicken, which is also a benefit for her. comforting himself like this, Xia Chuqi calmed down, thought about it for a while, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. I'll grab some medicine at Uncle Gillian's house for a while, and make a full-body medicinal bath for you after boiling it up, so that you can relieve the fatigue of the journey and sleep comfortably, how about it? ”

Zhao Jun pulled her lower lip slightly and patted her head with satisfaction.

"Good, wait for the master to return home in the evening."

Wait, wait, wait for him to come home?

Suddenly realized, Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, "You mean that you won't go back to the Jin Palace, right?" There's no question of you're lonely, lonely, cold, right? You're fooling me again, aren't you? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Zun gave her a cold look of "You are so stupid", stretched out his arms, and motioned for her to tidy up his neckline and clothes for him, and then said lightly, "Your Majesty has taken the wind for your grandfather and made such a big formation, no matter what, you have to enter the palace to meet first, and you can only return home after completing some things first, this is filial piety." ”

Filial piety is a fart!

Xia Chuqi couldn't hear so much, and hatred gave him a big roll of his eyes, but he still had to tiptoe, like a little daughter-in-law, obediently tidying up his clothes and cuffs for him, looking at his appearance as the emperor's noble jade tree facing the wind, thinking of the good errand he gave himself, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"You said that you are a person, sometimes I really can't understand you, aren't there many concubines waiting for you in your mansion? Why do you want to fix me on purpose? Other beauties are lining up to let you get on you don't want to, but I'm drooling at my skinny chicken bones, do you think you're a tyrannical thing, mad? ”

"Sour again?"

"Who's sour?" Xia Chuqi pouted unhappily.

Glancing at her coldly, Zhao Zhu looked back at Zheng Erbao, who was looking at him not far away, knowing that the people who picked him up were in a hurry, but he didn't rush at all and stretched out his arm to hug her.

"Later, I will bring you good things back."

Teng took a step back, and Xia Chuqi made a blocking move, "Don't, last time I said that I brought good things, and the things are good, and I will arrest Lao Tzu when I turn around, and that resentment has not disappeared yet, you can bring me good things, and you can also talk to me, or think about it, I will enter the palace and meet the Oriental demon for a while, how to explain Fan Congliang's matter to the emperor." ”

"Yes, you forgot not to mention this king."

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips tugged and slapped her face hard.

"This matter, even if this king saved your life, how much silver do you have to compensate?"

"Go, go, I'm not here to help you? Less money in my money. Xia Chuqi gave her a big look, and when she saw Zheng Erbao not far away, her hands were twisted, and she didn't dare to come over to urge, so she pushed him a little embarrassed.

"Come on, don't be poor. Go ahead, there are so many people waiting for you down there? If they knew that our wise and martial His Royal Highness King Jin, regardless of the courtiers who were waiting, was still hugging a woman here, they would have to laugh off their big teeth. ”

"Are you a woman?" Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows, and in his faint voice, there was less cold and more dark, "Besides, what's wrong with letting them wait?" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing him say this, Xia Chuqi can be regarded as understanding.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin who dares to love people is not here for her, but as soon as he returns to Beijing, he is ready to give those civil and military officials a dismount? It's okay, heavyweights always have the power of hypocrisy, and the more he gets off the boat in a hurry, the more it makes those people's hearts panic, and the more taboo they will have against him.

The way of officialdom, the way of soldiers, the belly is black and thick, and the heart of people, this twenty-four-year-old cheap prince can be said to be rotten. This makes her, a modern person who comes from modern society and has received a diverse education, have to admire him.

At the same time, I also feel that I am not so sorry to plant him alone.

Thinking about it, she pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Okay, do you want to make out again?" ”

Zhao Zhu's eyes darkened, but he was amused by her.

"Huh? Why is Ah Qi so proactive? ”

Staring at him with a smile, Xia Chuqi pretended to be affectionate and approached him a little, and spread out a hand, "Cameo intimacy scenes, depending on the degree of intimacy, the fee ranges from 50 to 200 taels each time, Your Highness, do you want to hug and hug, or do you want to Qingqing and me?" ”

As soon as he grabbed her, Zhao Tuo lowered his head and pecked her lips.

"Are there any other services?"

"Go! No, what do you think? Xia Chuqi glared at him with a grin.

"Foolish!"

Zhao Zhu slapped her head vigorously, and when he looked back, he saw that Zheng Erbao was waiting so anxiously, as if he was holding his urine urgently, his face was red, and he knew that the time was almost up, so he didn't delay any longer.

"Wait for the master to come back in the evening, and take care of you."

With that, the corners of the robe flicked, and the goods strode away.

But the sentence he left behind was spinning in Xia Chuqi's mind, and he suddenly remembered the last time he drank too much wine to "rectify her". How do you think about it, how do you blush, how you think about it, how you think this is inappropriate for children.

Scum!

Snorted embarrassedly, Xia Chuqi went back to the cabin to find Li Miao and Gu Ajiao. As soon as she heard that His Royal Highness's carriage sent them back directly, Gu Ajiao was so happy that she pulled Xia Chuqi and kept saying words of thanks.

"Chu Qi, you are really good, I'll tell my dad to go."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Xia Chuqi responded casually, only squinting at her back.

Originally, it was just a matter of passing to send Gu's father and daughter, and she also had some other thoughts. It's just that Li Miao doesn't know her intentions, and since the last time Gu Ajiao sang a song on the boat, she has stopped talking to Gu Ajiao.

Xia Chuqi knew that Li Miao was from the Guogong Mansion, although she had been in the people for a few years because of later events, she still had the education and reserve of Miss Guogongfu, and it was natural that she looked down on Gu Ajiao's actions.

However, as far as she is concerned, as long as Gu Ajiao does not hurt her, she will not ask about other people's lifestyles because she has helped and helped her in Qinggang County.

A few men mingled in a pile of servants, carrying large bags and small bags.

But before they could squeeze onto the dock, the greeting ceremony of the deacon in front of them had already begun.

In the elegant and solemn music, a group of dozens of honor guards in fresh clothes and angry horses came over, the people in the front held all kinds of flags, the palace maids held the Huangluo umbrella cover, and a ceremony decorated with gold embroidered dragons carried by eight people walked to Zhao Zhu and stopped.

"Kneel—"

In the sound of the Honglu Temple's praise dragging a long tail note, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the accompanying personnel on the ship, and the ordinary people who welcomed them knelt on the ground one after another, singing in unison, "Welcome His Royal Highness the King of Jin back to the court, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose".

Xia Chuqi also knelt on the ground.

She can not kneel to him, but she is sensible, if she does not kneel at this time, she is looking for death, she still wants to live for a few more years, and she can't afford to lose her life for her knees.

Secretly, she used her eyes to look at Zhao Bottle.

I could only see a side face, but that face had long lost the bad energy that I had when I was teasing her on the boat before, and a glacier face that had not melted for thousands of years was cold, as if everyone owed him money, he only raised his sleeves and said lightly "up", and then strode over without squinting, and was supported by Zheng Erbao as if no one was around.

"Your Highness."

In the sound of gratitude from the mountains and tsunamis, the rite moved.

Ascending the steps of the pier, the ceremonial chariot stopped, and a red satin elephant chariot for the prince was already waiting there. The guard of honor holding the flag of the brocade guard lined up in four rows. ringing festivals, golden festivals, candle cages; Qinglong Building, Ban Sword, My Staff, Standing Melon, Lying Melon, Ritual Knife, Stirrup Staff, and so on...... The flags, halberds, ge, and yi qi were all commanded by the school captain, and Zheng Erbao shouted "up", and the elephant slowly moved. On the road, there is a ten-mile red carpet that starts from Fengtianmen, and along the red carpet, an incomparably large team is heading towards the imperial city......

Xia Chuqi looked at the battle, and his heart tightened slightly.

When the music slowly faded away, she exhaled.

Somehow, he was worried about Zhao Zhu.

The so-called meritorious master is what he is now. It stands to reason that after winning the battle, the next step is to reward the three armies greatly, and canonize and reward the meritorious officials. However, Zhao Zhu was already a prince, and he was also a general of Shenwu who was crowned by the imperial seal, and all kinds of food were not listed, and it was estimated that the old emperor had no reward for his merits, as the so-called one person is under and above ten thousand.

But according to the limited historical experience of Xia Chuqi, a person's merit is so great that the emperor can't find anything to give you, that is, fattening and slaughtering.

Fortunately, although he is a minister, he is also the son of the old emperor.

With his actions on Qinggang's side, and now that he has arrested Fan Congliang to prove his innocence, his ruthless father must be able to see that he has no intention of taking the emperor's throne. For the sake of the stability of Dayan's country, it shouldn't be anything wrong with him.

At least, not now.

Patting the dirt on his knees, Xia Chuqi looked at the crowd in the distance and looked back and smiled.

"Let's go too."

His Royal Highness the King of Jin's guard of honor left, and the Shangxinhe Wharf slowly returned to its usual appearance, only some ordinary people who had not yet left, whispering in groups, discussing the majesty of His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

There were so many people that it was easy to get things done, and in a few moments, the luggage of several of them was moved to the carriage. This carriage was originally sent by the Jin Wangfu to pick up people, but with the request of Xia Chuqi before, Zhao Zhu specially left one for her. The coachman was a young man in his twenties, who introduced himself as Xiao Fangzi, who was a man with an oily mouth and could speak well.

"Doctor Chu, where are you going, you only need to report a name. I grew up in Yingtianfu, and at the age of seventeen, I went to the Jin Palace, where I worked as a coachman. Hey, in this Ying Tianfu, there is no place where my little recipe can't find it. ”

"Okay, thanks to you, little master."

Xia Chuqi still has a modern person's politeness, but it made that little Fang blush.

"Doctor Chu, don't be polite to me, Sister Yue explained before, I must greet you well, I can't offend you."

“……”

Hearing Sister Yue's name again, Xia Chuqi closed his mouth.

She had heard Meizi say before, although there were some women in the backyard of the Jin Palace, they were all the concubines Teng sent by the nineteenth master three times before, but because the master had never slept and ignored it, they couldn't take it seriously. Therefore, in the entire backyard of the Jin Palace, it is basically managed by Yueyu, the eldest girl of the Nineteenth Master.

When she first heard about it, she never thought it was anything unusual. It is not strange that there are women in the mansion of a feudal prince, but it is strange if there are no women. But now I probably feel that my relationship with Zhao Bottle is different, and I always feel a little awkward.

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but ask again.

"Xiao Fangzi, how many ladies are there in the backyard?"

"Ma'am?" Xiao Fangzi thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled, "You said that those concubines in our father's backyard, those are actually not Mrs., they are also subordinates." ”

"And what do you call them?"

"We have to call them Mrs. in person. The main three remaining concubines are all something we can't provoke, and there is no way to send them away. ”

"What do you mean? Can't send it away? Xia Chuqi asked curiously.

"Many people have sent concubines to the lord before, but everything that can be sent has been sent, and only these three are left, all of whom are the daughters of the three households that had been married to the master. One is from the Dongfang family, one is from the Xie family, and the other is from the Wei family, although they are all daughters, they are also people's daughters, and it is not good for the master not to leave a little face. ”

I see.

Xia Chuqi let out a soft "oh" and stopped talking.

It turned out that in the Dongfang Amur family, in addition to the dead princess, a concubine Teng was also sent to marry, so the one in the Dongfang family was not Amur's own sister-in-law?

No way!

She thought about it and suddenly felt awkward, although Zhao Zhu didn't wait to enter the cave room three times before, and those women died, but according to the standard of engagement in this era, it is considered a marriage, then he is a widower in modern times, and he has been widowed three times, thinking that she is a good yellow flower girl, it is too much of a loss.

After a while, the carriage drove into the Jinchuan Gate.

Jingshi Ying Tianfu, as the imperial capital, it has a different flavor from any town in this era that Xia Chuqi has seen before. Today, taking advantage of the heavy snow in Beijing, the Jinchuan Gate under the heavy snow, the city gate is majestic and tall, and all kinds of people are bustling on the street that has been swept in order to welcome the victory of His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Shops are next to each other, selling cloth, sugar, tea, wine shops, restaurants, dazzling, one signboard after another, the street is full of endless crowds, there are very few carriages, but everywhere presents the prosperous scene of Jingshi.

The pictures with a strong sense of the times kept impacting Xia Chuqi's brain.

She knew that in the future, she would be the seventh lady of the former Wei State Mansion.

The road under her feet will not be peaceful.

With Xiao Fangzi leading the way, he almost didn't go far, and went straight to the Jishitang opened by Gu Ajiao's uncle's house. As Gillian said before, Jishitang is very prosperous on Ji'e Street, not far from the imperial city, and there are five or six stores on Ji'e Street. Looking through the big open door, you can see that the flow of people coming and going inside is really not small.

"Chu Qi, that's my uncle's medicine hall."

Gu Ajiao entered Beijing for the first time, her expression was very excited, patting Xia Chuqi's arm, pointing to the big signboard of the Jishitang and the plaque of "Hanging Pot Jishi", and the two beautiful apricot eyes were about to overflow.

"Yes, yes, it looks awesome."

In order to match her emotions, Xia Chuqi smashed his tongue and said a few words that he listened to. Only Li Miao was still motionless, and his expression was a little impatient.

Old Gu Tou went down to find his wife and uncle first.

There were only three girls left in the car, Gu Ajiao looked at Li Miao, who had never been waiting to see her, suddenly her eyes turned red, and she looked at Xia Chuqi awkwardly, and dragged her off the car in a daze, and the two of them moved to the bottom of a willow tree that had been crushed by snow on the side of the street.

"Chu Qi, there are some things I want to say to you, but I haven't looked for a chance all the way, I'm afraid that I won't say it today, I don't know when we will meet when you go back to the Jin Palace, if you have thoughts about me in your heart, then I can't go down in my heart."

Seeing her pitiful little appearance, Xia Chuqi couldn't help but be funny.

"Say, what's inconvenient to say? Or do you want to be the concubine of the prince of Jin, and you want me to tie you a bridge? ”

She asked very freely, but it made Gu Ajiao blush.

"Chu Qi, the two of me have known each other for so long, and I won't talk nonsense with you. To say that I didn't have that kind of mind is to lie to you. His Royal Highness the King of Jin Longzhang Fengzi, but anyone who has seen his daughter's family, which one is not pounding? Of course I'm the same, but I've told you before, I know my identity, where are the people who dare to trespass? ”

Staring into her eyes, Xia Chuqi raised an eyebrow.

"And what do you want to say?"

Gu Ajiao pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed, and paused for a long time before continuing, "What happened on the official boat that day, I know that your cousin doesn't look down on me. But I don't care what she thinks of me, I'm afraid that you will also misunderstand me, which will make my two sisters have some trouble. Chu Qi, I have a high heart, and I really don't look down on those ordinary sons and daughters in that place in Qinggang, but I know that I am two catties, even if I am in Beijing now, although my uncle is a medicine hall, but the family of commercial medicine is also lowly, how can I promise a good family with me? On that day, I saw a few adults come on the boat to meet His Highness, and I secretly glanced in the cabin, and saw that there were two young men who were born very well, so I had some thoughts, and I definitely didn't think about hooking up with Your Highness......"

She said very seriously, her eyes were full of longing, Xia Chuqi frowned when she heard it, and sighed for a long time.

"Gillian, do you want to marry a good man, don't you care if you have a relationship with each other?"

"Feelings?" Gu Ajiao was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand, glanced at her, and sneered, "Did you say that you have that relationship with Your Highness?" I didn't think about it. Most of the men in the world are lucky, if the daughter's family gives their hearts to them, then they will have to suffer in the future. I, I just want to find a stable nest and marry an official eunuch with status, and my daughter will not be like me in the future, even if she is born well, she can only find a bad family to match, and she will not be able to turn over for generations. Chu Qi, you know, I don't have a mother, and my father is such a generous character, he doesn't know his daughter's thoughts at all, if I don't work for myself, who will care about me? ”

After listening to Gu Ajiao's long confession, Xia Chuqi felt a little touched in his heart.

But no matter what, although she can't agree with Gu Ajiao's thoughts, she can only respect it, everyone has the right to choose their own life and way of living, Gu Ajiao was born in this era, and it is normal for her to have limitations in her thoughts. Just as the purpose of her and Li Miao is to take revenge, and Gu Ajiao wants to find a good family, although the journey is different, the result is the same, they both want to live a good life in the future.

"Okay, but Gillian reminds you, a man can't just look at the surface, you need to know if he has grown another heart, don't be coaxed by a few sweet words. You are born so well, you don't have to worry about finding a good man. If you don't tie your belt tightly, you won't be able to get anything out of it, so you can cry. A girl who doesn't have a mother has to cherish herself even more, do you know? ”

She said it very directly, but Gu Ajiao didn't hate her this time, but her eyes were redder, nodded at her, and clenched her hand again.

"Chu Qi, you are the best person to treat me besides my father. I know that you must look down on what I did that day, and think that it is not the work of the daughter of a good family. However, I will be in Jingshi in the future, I don't want to have anything to do with you, Chu Qi, you have to come and see me often. ”

"I know, I know, where is it so wordy?"

Xia Chuqi glanced at her with a smile, and was about to persuade her a few more words, when the old Gu Tou had already come out with a slightly chubby man wearing a navy blue robe, and she guessed that it was Gu Ajiao's uncle at that age.

Sending the Buddha to the location, Xia Chuqi thought of what he had promised Zhao Bottle on the boat before, and followed Gillian in, picked up a few Chinese medicines and prepared to soak Zhao Bottle in a medicinal bath at night, and he didn't want to stay any longer after finishing his work, so he said goodbye to Gu Ajiao, and drove the carriage to the outside of Ji'e Street.

"Doctor Chu, shall we go back to the house now?"

Xiao Fangzi took over this job temporarily, although Yue Yu carefully explained that he wanted to take good care of Chu Qi, but he couldn't figure out what the way Xia Chuqi was, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Let's take a stroll around the streets first." Xia Chuqi said in a warm tone.

"Where to go?" The coachman apparently didn't get it.

"Go to Baotai Street, and then go around to Danfeng Street." Xia Chuqi said lightly.

"Oh, okay." Xiao Fangzi "drove", the carriage drove for a while, he remembered again, and asked with a smile, "Does Doctor Chu have any relatives in Beijing?" It's still early, so if you want to check it out first, you can do that. ”

But the words of family members made Xia Chuqi's calm eyes narrow.

It took a long time for her to let out a soft breath.

"Nope."

I have to say that it is really good to have a specialization in the art industry, and after going out of Jishitang and going around the city for a while, the coachman was stunned to pick the nearest road to Baotai Street.

"Which one is Doctor Chu going to?"

"If you don't go anywhere, just take a look."

"Okay."

Xiao Fangzi promised, waved a whip, in the sound of the horse, a carriage of two people on the Baotai Street up, Xiao Fangzi conscientious, not only doing the coachman's work, but also the tour guide, he thought that Xia Chuqi and Li Miao are the first time to enter Beijing outsiders, along the way keep introducing the name of the place, the cultural landscape, very interesting.

After a while, the carriage passed by a mansion, and he suddenly turned back and smiled.

"That's the Mansion of Wei."

"Xiao Fangzi, slow down, I'm a little dizzy." Xia Chuqi finished speaking calmly, and then looked at the house with a pair of big stone lions at the door from a distance, looked at the vermilion lacquer gate and the vigorous and powerful "Wei State Mansion", looked at the ridges of those carved beams and paintings, and slowly squinted his eyes.

This is the Duke of Wei's mansion.

It's just that things are not people, and the people here are no longer the people they were at the beginning.

This Wei Guogong is no longer the former Wei Guogong.

The carriage slowed down as soon as it walked to the door, and the guards at the gate of the Wei State Mansion were probably a little suspicious when they saw it, glanced at each other, and walked over to this end, Xia Chuqi lowered the curtain without waiting for them to approach.

"Xiao Fangzi, let's go."

"Okay, Doctor Chu, sit tight."

Xiao Fangzi is a person who came out of the Jin Palace, and he naturally has no fear of the courtyard of the Wei Mansion, and his old god threw a whip on the ground, ignoring the two people who were looking him up and down over there. Fortunately, those people are also human spirits, and they can afford to sit in such a carriage, so they are naturally not ordinary people, so they just took a look and retreated.

When the carriage was far away, Xia Chuqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Miao again, and asked with a smile.

"Would you like to go back and see it, cousin?"

"Not necessarily." Li Miao replied slowly and calmly, but her fingers had already curled slightly and were tightly clenched in the palm of her hand.

Xia Chuqi didn't force her to face it, shook her hand, and said softly.

"Xiao Fangzi, please go back to the Jin Palace."

------Off topic------

Emma, Erjin's body is not very cool, beauties, these words will cushion the stomach first, and when I recover, I will change more, what!
