Chapter 197: Stationed
With the sweet and sour honey cherry, Fu Ying sniffed: "This is really the only thing that makes me feel gratified." ”
Zhenyu lowered her head and smiled, if it weren't for the wrong atmosphere, she actually wanted to say: You are glad that you can eat meat.
She has been with the girl for nearly three years, and she can't forget why she was chosen by Fu Ying's side in the first place.
The carriage moved slowly all the way, although General Wei was a man in his early thirties with a rough face, he was very organized, how far the daily itinerary was fixed, what kind of speed would not make Fu Ying feel bumpy, and how long it would take to make Fu Ying feel tired, he seemed to have a plan in his heart.
About half a month passed, the team finally left the border of Dongsheng and arrived at the land of Da Zhou, Fu Ying put on a veil and quietly lifted the curtain to look out, and found that Da Zhou was indeed much more prosperous than Dongsheng.
And that's just a border town.
The team only went through the motions in the border city, and had a banquet with the local officials for less than one night, and took the Lord Zheng, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who came to greet Da Zhou, and set off the next day. Because the target of the accompanying 500 soldiers was conspicuous, and the matter of harmony was not a secret, General Wei was afraid that there would be complications, and the team would basically not enter the city, so he would rather take a detour to ensure the safety of his party.
Fu Ying felt bored. Mushrooms are about to grow on the body of the carriage all day long, and in addition to the palace maids and maids who accompany the marriage, the five hundred light cavalry in the entire team, including the secret guards left by Xiao Cuo, are all men.
In this way, the possibility of wanting to get off the carriage and walk around when she is bored is eliminated. It was only after camping at night or staying at an inn that she could wander around for a while.
On this day, it passed through Xingping in the northeast of the Great Zhou. Suddenly it rained heavily, the road became muddy, the wheels were covered with a thick layer of mud, and the potholes and water on the road were wet and slippery, so it was not a good choice for either the car or the horse to go any further.
It was Lord Zheng who came to greet him, and when he saw this, he didn't dare to snub Princess Dongsheng, so he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the surroundings.
Not far from the soldiers, there was a village, which was mostly filled with peasant households, and although it could not accommodate all the Dongsheng soldiers, there were also yards and open spaces on high ground for them to camp. The princess can stay in a farmhouse temporarily.
Master Zheng and General Wei consulted for a moment.
General Wei said, "Make some silver." For the time being, let the peasants settle elsewhere, so that they can make room for the princess so as not to be rude. ”
Master Zheng smiled: "That's nature. The general does not have to worry about this matter, and the subordinate can come forward to do it. ”
"There is labor." In the territory of the Great Zhou, of course, it was the officials of the Zhou Dynasty who came forward to negotiate and other matters.
Lord Zheng urged the horse to go and return quickly. I'll be back in a moment. smiled: "It's ready." Please princess for the night here today. ”
Fu Ying in the carriage was bored fiddling with the candy ball.
Zhenyu answered on her behalf: "The princess said that there is General Lao and my lord." ”
General Wei and Master Zheng said that they did not dare.
Although the farm is a little simpler, it is better than hiding in a carriage that is about to be drenched in the rain.
When they got out of the car, General Wei and Master Zheng only left a few personal soldiers around them. Due to the limited size of the open space in the village, he ordered the remaining nearly 500 soldiers and horses to find a flat place nearby and set up camp.
Fu Ying's embroidered shoes were covered with clogs, a honey-colored half-new waist jacket, a bean-green thread-picking skirt, and a layer of tulle on her face, so she stepped on the footstool and got off the carriage under the service of Zhenyu and Luzhu.
Lord Zheng greatly admires the brave and treacherous prince, and he also has a critical heart to observe the princess in front of him. The figure is exquisite, the cloud bun is stacked, although the veil obscures the face and cannot see clearly, but the eyebrows exposed outside are very exquisite. The skin on his hands and neck is as white as tofu.
Lord Zheng was satisfied, relieved, and didn't have to worry that the woman's appearance was not worthy of Prince Xiang's face.
Fu Ying ordered the eight palace maids who were married to retreat, leaving only Mama Wu, Zhenyu and Luzhu by his side.
After entering the house and closing the door tightly, Fu Ying immediately stretched out in a mess: "I'm really tired of riding in the car all day." "I miss the days when Xiao Cuo took her on horseback!
The corners of Mama Wu's mouth twitched: "The princess should pay attention to her words and deeds, this is not in our Dongsheng." How can the word 'death' be used to talk nonsense? Also, you are here for Dongsheng's talent and relatives, how can you complain about the hard work? If you let people hear, I am afraid that it will not be good. ”
Fu Ying knew that Mama Wu liked to nag, which was also her duty, and after leaving Dongsheng, the more she came to Da Zhou, the more she felt what it was to leave her hometown. Although she is a princess and does not sleep in the open, her life is not comfortable, which can be seen from the fact that Mama Wu has taken the initiative to persuade her to eat meat when she has served her for dinner in the past two days. And then there's the issue of accents.
Dongsheng is in the northeast, the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the south, although Kyoto City is as cold as Shengjing City in winter, but it is always closer to the south than Shengjing, and the official dialect of the Great Zhou Dynasty sounds very standard and delicate, but it is much better than the official dialect of Dongsheng.
Fu Ying learned the official dialect of the Zhou Dynasty, and his speech was also very standard. But it is said that Xiangzhou is farther south, and if she wants to go to Xiangzhou with Xiao Cuo, I am afraid that listening to people will be like ducks listening to thunder.
Even speaking is different, not to mention that the eyes of the Great Zhou people looking at the cavalry who escorted her are like looking at a bear......
Dongsheng is rich in war horses, and most of them are tall and strong, both men and women.
She can be regarded as an outlier among the women of Dongsheng.
But in the Zhou Dynasty, where people were tall, they still belonged to a small barbarian country. And she, although she was named a princess, is not a real princess. It's just an ordinary woman who comes here with a strong sense of purpose.
No matter how you think about it, the future is bleak!
Fu Ying didn't know if it was because of the worry or the bumps on the road, so he only ate half a bowl of porridge for dinner. I didn't use a few bites of meat and vegetarian dishes.
Mama Wu was a little worried when she saw this, but she said that Fu Ying was overworked, so she was busy serving her and fell asleep.
Fu Ying fell asleep easily, and dreamed of Xiao Cuo.
In the dream, Xiao Cuo wore the light blue brocade robe he often wore, sticking a piece of chicken to feed her mouth, and the other hand was still sticking half a roast chicken with a branch, and the fire was bright, illuminating his gentle smiling face.
He asked her how it tasted.
She tasted it seriously for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "It's not delicious, it's tasteless." ”
When I looked down again, I saw that the fire had burned to the hem of my skirt.
Smoke billowed and her skirt was ignited, and a sense of burning and fear instantly surrounded her, and Xiao Cuo in front of her was long gone.
"Wake up, princess! Princess! ”
Lu Zhu pushed a few handfuls hard, but when he saw no result, he simply took cold water and splashed it on Fu Ying's face.
Fu Ying woke up smartly, but in his confusion, he saw thick smoke billowing in the house and a blazing fire outside the window. (To be continued......)
