Chapter 45: Interesting Facts About the City Gate

Early the next morning, An Lan hurriedly finished breakfast and took Hanqiao, Xiaofei, and Xiaoyue to Taizhou City. Hanqiao and An Lan sat in the mule cart, while the two little guys sat on the wheels to catch the car. Seeing the cautious appearance of Han Qiao and the others, An Lan's lips moved, wanting her to relax a little, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything, after a long time, they naturally won't be restrained anymore, and now there is nothing they can do to make them change.

"Hanqiao, are you literate?" An Lan thought that a few people in the car were the objects she wanted to focus on cultivating, and asked.

Han Qiao was shrinking in a corner of the carriage, and when he heard An Lan's question, he immediately straightened up and replied seriously,

"Miss Hui, the slave maid has been poor since she was a child," Han Qiao paused when she said this, and then replied: "The slave and maid were sold by the stepmother since she was 6 years old, and she has been sold by the masters, and I don't remember where my home is until now...... The slave is illiterate, Miss, don't sell Han Qiao anymore. Han Qiao seemed to be caught in the memories, those sadness, and kept begging An Lan.

An Lan had no choice but to promise not to sell her, and told her that she wanted to teach her to read and write, so that she could help herself in the future.

"Really? Miss, you didn't lie to me? Han Qiao looked at An Lan in astonishment, as if she wanted to see the truth from her expression.

"Of course it's true, I'm not lying." An Lan said softly.

"Thank you, Miss." Han Qiao said gratefully, with an excited look on his face.

"Thanks for what? I'm going to have to rely on you for help in the future? You also know that we have a small family, and I will have to buy some properties in the future......" An Lan began to chat with Han Qiao, Han Qiao didn't seem to be as restrained as at the beginning, and began to chat with An Lan.

……

"By the way, is your previous name your original name?" An Lan asked curiously.

"How so? It was given to us by Mrs. Zhao, and she said that it was easy to remember and really ......" The more Han Qiao spoke, the more uncomfortable she became, her face turned slightly red, as if she felt embarrassed when she mentioned her previous name.

"This Aunt Zhao is really ...... That one...... Real people. An Lan held back for a long time to come up with this word, she was a little annoyed in her heart, she was also a cultural person, how could she not even say an adjective.

"Flutter...... Miss, you really are. I don't know, I think you're praising Aunt Zhao? ”

"I was originally complimenting her!" An Lan blinked and said playfully.

……

"Miss, Taizhou City has arrived, and now the people in front are queuing up to enter the city, see if you want to come out first to breathe." Dumbo's voice rang out from outside.

"Oh, that's fine. Hanqiao, let's get out of the car first! ”

"Yes, miss."

Han Qiao jumped out of the car after speaking, and An Lan also got out of the car. Xiao Fei and Xiao Yue led the mule cart to line up obediently.

"Miss, why are there so many people!" Han Qiao saw the long queue at the gate of the city, and asked An Lan in surprise.

"It's always been so many people, I'll tell you! It's because of the prefect here...... "An Lan told the story that the Chinese told her and told Han Qiao.

"Miss knows so much." Han Qiao's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he looked at An Lan and said adoringly.

"That's it, don't you look at who your young lady is?" An Lan raised her chin proudly and said ostentatiously.

"It's forbidden to make noise at the city gates, what are you two doing? If you want to get into town, go to the queue. At this time, a deep male voice sounded from behind An Lan, startling An Lan and Han Qiao.

The two of them turned around and saw that it was an officer and soldier, and Han Qiao immediately exploded, and said loudly to the city gate officer: "Why are you like this? How can we make noise, we are chatting, huh! What kind of eyes are you! Are you still reasonable, our family is queuing up over there, and you, a city guard, don't go to check the people who enter the city gate, and take care of our girls' private affairs. I said, "Are you sick?" ”

"Hanqiao!" An Lan said unhappily. Han Qiao saw the young lady's disapproving eyes, so she closed her mouth, but she saw that the eyes of the city guard were still not good, and it seemed that she was going to break his bones and eat him before she was relieved.

An Lan didn't want to offend this benevolent brother, she remembered that he was the biggest official at the city gate, and he still had to enter Taizhou City every day? If you offend him, the business will be delayed, and it will not be cost-effective. Thinking of this, An Lan smiled and said to the man, "I'm sorry! This eldest brother, my family has never seen the world, and is not sensible, you have a lot of adults, so don't be like our little girl. ”

Nangong Nuo saw that the little girl in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, and remembered that she also glared at herself yesterday, and now he is still curious about how he offended this little girl.

"You're the niece of the king's treasurer?"

"Huh? What the? An Lan was stunned for a moment, this person still remembered himself, it's over, it's over, he gave him a look yesterday, it's okay, this thing is a grudge master...... An Lan kept talking in her heart, but her face was full of smiles and said,

"I'm not, my eldest brother recognized the wrong person."

"Or not? Who stared at me yesterday. Nangong Nuo clasped his hands to his chest and looked at An Lan for a long time.

"It's stingy! A big man holds such a grudge! An Lan shouted in a low voice.

"My name is Nangong Nuo, what about you? Little girl? ”

"Ahh Are you talking to me? An Lan looked up at him and said confusedly.

"Yes!"

"Nangong, then what do you have to do with the prefect?" An Lan didn't answer his question, but asked curiously.

"The prefect is my third uncle, don't talk nonsense!" Nangong Nuo said to An Lan mysteriously.

"Really! You're amazing! Who are you fooling! If your uncle were the prefect, you would still be here to defend the city, bullying me as a weak woman! "An Lan despises shì Nangong Nuodao.

"The little girl hasn't answered my question yet? It's rude for you to do that! ”

"My surname is An, and my name is not told to you? A girl's name is not to be told to a man casually? ”

After listening to An Lan's words, Han Qiao nodded on the side. When Nangong Nuo saw the little girl say this, he didn't want to ask any more questions, and his face was a little unnatural. How did I inquire about the little tiger girl, what's wrong today? Nangong Nuo couldn't figure it out, but it was not good to stand here anymore, so he had to say goodbye to An Lan and leave.

Looking at the back of the city guard, he said with disdain,

"Miss, this person must have taken a fancy to Miss's beauty! Let's be on guard. ”

An Lan couldn't cry or laugh when she heard Han Qiao's words, the person just patrolled as usual, and saw that he was noisy here and came to lecture him, this Han Qiao could actually think of falling in love and falling in love, I really don't know how to say her, besides, do you have beauty? How did I not know it myself?

"Okay, my good coquettishness, you're right, okay!"

"Miss! You have to be vigilant, Dengzi may be a talent outside, but in fact, he is very ...... in his bones Very...... Bad" Han Qiao heard the thick perfunctory tone in An Lan's tone, and stomped his feet and said in a huff.

"Got it! Little housekeeper! ”

Nangong Nuo said goodbye to An Lan, and when he walked under the city gate, he was still a little absent-minded, he didn't know what was wrong with him, and he would inexplicably inquire about the girl, but the girl seemed to be a little familiar? Didn't you see it yesterday before? Where have you seen it? I can't remember!

"Boss, where did you just go?" A city gate soldier said to Nangong Nuo.

"Patrol! Where else to go? Nangong Nuo looked at him without answering.

"Pretend, the brothers have seen it, but you went over there and talked to the two girls. Hee-hee! ”

"Go, go, do whatever you have to do?" Nangong Nuo was interrupted from his train of thought and shouted angrily.

"The boss is angry, is that the future sister-in-law......" Shi said with a ** face.

"I'm going to let you run 10 laps around the city wall, believe it or not." Nangong Nuohu said with a tiger face,

"Little ones don't dare! The boss spares his life, the boss spares his life! With that, he ran away as if he were running for his life.

"This kid is really not in shape." Nangong Nuo looked at the back of the stone running away, and scolded with a smile.
