The midsummer sun shines through the dense layers of foliage, and the ground is covered with sparkling spots the size of copper coins.

The cicadas that hide among the leaves are screaming incessantly.

Stuffy, irritable.

On a wide official road.

Four smooth horses open the way, and in the middle is a spacious and low-key carriage that cannot hide the luxury, followed by eight horses.

Inside the carriage, there is a thick velvet, and a layer of cold ice silk is spread on top of the wool, and a layer of brocade is also spread on top of the ice silk, and it will not feel too cold.

This carriage was carefully built by Zhao Cheng and other secret guards in order to safely escort An Rong back to Da Zhou.

Sitting in it, no matter how bumpy the road is, you won't feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the speed of driving is not fast.

At least it was more than twice as slow as when An Rong came.

That's the case, Xiao Zhan is still worried that An Rong will be bumpy and broken, and he must hold it in his arms to feel at ease.

But An Rong has a big belly, and being held by him is better than sitting comfortably by himself.

In short, Xiao Zhan shrank aside in disgust, watching a huge carriage being occupied by An Rong.

In fact, this carriage was originally prepared for An Rong alone, and half of it was a concubine soft couch, which was enough to sleep.

The other half is for the maid to sit, Anrong wants to drink tea and eat fruits, and it is more convenient to have a maid to take care of it.

Xiao Zhan is sitting in the position of the maid, not crowded, but far from being comfortable and comfortable.

An Rong leaned on the carriage with great interest, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

Xiao Zhan saw her holding her hand, afraid that she would be sour. Seeing a small bamboo clip next to the window, he helped her clinch the curtain up.

Outside the carriage, the green hills are dripping green and the grass is green.

It's been three days since I left the East Yan Capital.

At first, An Rong was still apprehensive, afraid that every time Xiao Zhan picked up the jade bracelet, he would be struck by lightning, but fortunately, no.

But it was also very thrilling, fortunately they left the small courtyard one step earlier.

After they set off, she left a newly embroidered little belly pocket in the small courtyard and asked the secret guard to go back and get it.

Who would have thought that Master Huiming would personally bring the guards to surround the small courtyard. To arrest Xiao Zhan and her.

Xiao Zhan picks up the jade bracelet. caused lightning and thunder, and was directly knocked unconscious, Master Huiming must have heard of it.

Unfortunately, he was too slow to hear from him. It was three days late to arrest her and Xiao Zhan. Doomed to pounce.

The carriage gurgled forward.

An Rong was in a good mood.

Half an hour later. The carriage stopped at the inn.

The post house boy hurriedly greeted him, and Zhao Cheng casually threw a five-dollar small silver ingot to the little guy and said. "Feed the horses."

The little guy took the silver ingot, and instantly smiled, although the post station received all the eunuchs, but very few people were so generous, but they just stepped forward to salute and gave a reward.

"Don't worry, the guest officer will be fed well!" After taking the benefits, the little guy did his best.

The little guy is waiting at the post station, he is used to seeing the world, and the more generous he is, the more prominent he is, and he can't afford to offend.

Xiao Zhan got out of the carriage first, and then helped An Rong down.

The two of them walked towards the inn.

I just went up the steps, and before I entered the station, I saw a notice posted at the door.

The little guy inside greeted him and said, "I'm sorry, all the guests who enter the post station to rest and stay must check their wrists, this is the will of the imperial court, and please show your wrists." ”

An Rong glanced at the notice, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

It's really annoying enough, when she came out of Kyoto, she entered seven post stations, and all seven post stations had to check her wrist!

Xiao Zhan broke his finger seven times, although he said that he didn't care about a small injury, but it hurt in An Rong's opinion.

She is embroidered with needlework and thread piercing her fingers, and her teeth hurt.

This time, it's no exception.

Xiao Zhan snatched his arm to show the little guy, and then raised An Rong's wrist.

Seeing that An Rong had a jade bracelet on his wrist, the little maid was embarrassed, "Please also ask the young grandmother to take it off." ”

Xiao Zhan helped An Rong take it off, and then helped put it on.

Only then did the little guy respectfully invite the two of them into the house, and then check on Zhao Cheng and the others in the back.

Zhao Cheng was dissatisfied, and he said, "We seven-foot men also need to be checked?" How many girls are our height? ”

The little servant laughed twice, "Forgive me, the guest officer, we can't do anything about the regulations of the imperial court, but it's just a matter of pulling off your wrists, and it doesn't take much trouble, right?" But when it comes to the height of the girl's family, don't say it, in Qingfeng Town, ten miles away, the richest girl of the Wu family, that height, well, is slightly three points taller than the guest officer, because she is too tall, and no one has come to ask for ...... so far. ”

The little guy said, Zhao Cheng's face turned red with embarrassment.

He coughed lightly and said, "It's me who is lonely." ”

The little guy shook his head and invited him into the station.

The man in green shirt who was sitting and drinking next to him smiled and said, "You don't know, this eldest girl of the Wu family is not only extremely tall, but also has a lot of strength, ordinary men can't compare to her at all, and what is even rarer is that Master Wu and Mrs. Wu, and even her two brothers, are a head shorter than her." ”

As he spoke, someone on the side laughed, "Isn't this the so-called standing out from the crowd?" ”

The man was drinking, and when he heard this, he choked on the words, but he laughed and said, "It's true, you can't describe it if you don't stand out from the crowd." ”

An Rong sat down, listened to their conversation, thought about the height of the eldest girl of the Wu family, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

No wonder no one dares to come to the door to ask for marriage, how can anyone be a wife taller than a husband?

The two stand and talk, and the husband still has to look up at his daughter-in-law?

The eldest husband stands up to the sky and the earth, and let them be a head short in front of their daughter-in-law, who can accept it?

But because of this, she can't get married, and it's too cruel for the eldest girl of the Wu family.

After all, it's not her fault that she's taller, and she doesn't want to be taller than men.

Thinking about it, there is humanity over there, "The eldest girl of the Wu family can't get married, but the second girl of the Wu family is the first beauty in Qingfeng Town, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. ”

Xiao Zhan poured tea for An Rong, and An Rong took a sip and said with a smile. "I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, but I am afraid that the threshold will be broken by others, why do you still throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives?"

An Rong asked casually, and a man over there smiled, "This young grandmother is really right, this second girl of the Wu family is too good, virtuous and virtuous, pretty, there are too many people who come to ask for relatives, and the old man of the Wu family has a generous temperament." I don't like to do sinners. A daughter can't

Many families, this is not just throwing hydrangeas, leaving their daughter's marriage to God to decide. ”

Hearing this, An Rong smiled indifferently.

In order not to offend anyone. I left my daughter's family affairs to God to decide. It's too child's play, isn't it?

Recruit relatives in martial arts. It's better than Wen Zhaoqin, and you can still exclude some people, throw hydrangea, it completely depends on luck.

Just thinking about it. I heard a movement outside the station.

Sit calmly and look up just in time to see the window.

I saw a number of officers and soldiers dismounting, came over, and asked, "Do you see people on their wrists who can't take off the jade bracelet today?" ”

The post steward hurriedly said, "My lord, not today." ”

The officers and soldiers at the head frowned, and said, "Kyoto sent someone to spread the word, saying that the young grandmother of the Xiao Guogong Mansion has left Beijing to return to Dazhou, this is the only way, be sure to stop them, as long as they are caught, everyone will enjoy endless glory and wealth!" ”

After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, the post station manager asked, "My lord, didn't you say that the jade bracelet on the wrist of the young grandmother of the Da Zhou Xiao Guogong Mansion can't be taken off, all the way over, you must stay at the inn overnight, how can no one find out?" ”

The officers and soldiers were a little impatient, and said, "Who knows, in short, you must check carefully, if you let her go, be careful of your heads!" ”

After the officers and soldiers finished speaking, another officer and soldier came in and muttered two words in his ear.

The officers and soldiers frowned, "Can you take it off?" ”

The officers and soldiers who later nodded, "I said that I can, but if I take off the jade bracelet, it will cause lightning and thunder." ”

The officers and soldiers led by him took a sip, "Is a jade bracelet so evil, it burns people, and it can't be taken off, and now when you take off the jade bracelet, it also attracts lightning and thunder?" ”

The officers and soldiers behind shook their heads, he didn't know this.

Kyoto sent a document down, and adults were embarrassed.

Before, the jade bracelet couldn't be taken off, so I sent someone to guard the post station and various entrances and exits, and it was not troublesome to check it.

Now that the jade bracelet can be taken off, it is much more difficult.

Who knows if people take it off and put it on?

"What do you command?" The officers and soldiers frowned.

The officers and soldiers behind replied, "Your Excellency has ordered that no one who goes out within the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Town is allowed to wear a jade bracelet, and once it is found, it will be broken on the spot." ”

An Rong's brows furrowed, and she said angrily, "The jade bracelet is an ancestral thing, we just passed by Qingfeng Town, and we are going to break it while wearing the jade bracelet?" ”

The officers and soldiers glanced at An Rong and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and she was sitting steadily in the post station drinking tea, obviously taking off the jade bracelet, not because they provoked it.

He also felt that the adult's order was a bit unkind, and the jade bracelet was not tofu.

Tofu is broken for a few pennies, no matter how you smash it, you don't feel distressed, some people, a jade bracelet, passed down from generation to generation, can it be easily smashed?

But that's what the adults commanded, and they could only do it.

Several officers and men glanced at each other, but they did not dare to act rashly.

Thinking about entering Qingfeng Town for a while, it was none of their business, so they took their leave.

After they left, An Rong looked at Xiao Zhan, pouted and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Master Huiming must have guessed the clue.

Only Xiao Zhan can take off the jade bracelet, if she can be casually alone, she will return to Da Zhou by now, and she will come to pick her up in person after Xiao Zhan loses the border war?

And picking up the jade bracelet will attract lightning and thunder, obviously the jade bracelet can't leave her.

An Rong had a tight headache.

Xiao Zhan held An Rong's hand and said with a smile, "Eat first." ”

After eating, I prepared the food for the road, and set off on the road again.

Ten miles away, soon arrived.

In front of the city gate, An Rong raised his wrist and bit his lip lightly.

The jade bracelet can't be separated from her, if she takes off the bracelet now and has to check the carriage, how much blood does Xiao Zhan have to lose?

This has to go all the way back to Da Zhou, and Xiao Zhan must not die of blood?

An Rong stared at the jade bracelet and muttered in his heart.

Couldn't you turn into a hosta in your previous life, why can't you do it now?

You're going to change one for me!

It's a pity that no matter how An Rong shouted in his heart, the jade bracelet never responded.

Xiao Zhan squeezed An Rong's hand and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

An Rong was relieved.

Because of the baggage to be checked, there was a long queue in front of the city gate.

After waiting for a while, it was An Rong's turn.

There are officers and soldiers who are responsible for searching the carriage, and there are officers and soldiers who are responsible for checking Anrong's wrists.

Seeing that An Rong had a jade bracelet on his wrist, he wanted to take it off.

Xiao Zhan stopped him, and then helped An Rong take off the jade bracelet and hand it to the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers glanced at the jade bracelet, and there was a look of regret in their eyes, and they begged the officers and soldiers to be accommodating, and she liked this bracelet very much.

The officers and soldiers shook their heads, and then smashed the jade bracelet to the ground.

A high-grade jade bracelet smashed on the ground and shattered into several petals in an instant.

An Rong was stunned.

Xiao Zhan touched An Rong's face and said, "This one is broken, when I return to Yuzhou, I will buy you a new one." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan took An Rong's hand and put the original jade bracelet on An Rong.

On the sly.

Zhao Cheng picked up the broken jade bracelet and wrapped it carefully with a handkerchief.

The carriage was also checked, and An Rong got into the carriage again.

The carriage gurgled forward.

Then, halfway down the road, it stopped again.

Zhao Cheng looked at the bunch of people in front of him, his brows jumped unexpectedly, and said, "Master, there is a fight in front of you, and the road is blocked." ”

An Rong lifted the curtain and glanced forward.

There's really a fight ahead, and it seems to be fighting fiercely.

The reason for the fight is really laughable.

Before at the post station, I heard that the second girl of the Wu family threw hydrangeas to recruit relatives today, and there were crowds of people who came to grab the hydrangea.

Who wants to recruit a son-in-law for the second girl, she is recruiting relatives for the eldest girl.

At that time, it was clearly written in red and black, but no one noticed.

The Wu family is also determined to marry the eldest girl, and invited the county magistrate to sit in charge.

As soon as the hydrangea was caught by the young master of the Zheng family, the county master announced the family affair, and this time, the young master of the Zheng family, who grabbed the hydrangea, fell from heaven to hell.

He didn't agree to marry Miss Wu, but the county magistrate was here, so he couldn't be presumptuous.

The Zheng family is unwilling, so they don't come to the door to withdraw from their relatives.

If you don't talk about it, you start fighting.

What a farce.

The fight in front was inextricable, and Zhao Cheng had no choice but to take a detour.

When he came out of Qingfeng Town, he met someone who wanted to check the jade bracelet, and he was full of evil fire.

Lifting the curtain, she threw the previous jade bracelet heavily on the officers and soldiers, and said angrily, "It's been smashed, what do you want to do?!" ”

To say that these officers and soldiers are really cowardly, as soon as An Rong gets angry, they don't dare to say anything.

This trick was used intermittently for a few days, which helped Xiao Zhan save a lot of blood.

On this day, twilight was falling, the sky was cloudy, and there was a tendency for heavy rain.

Zhao Cheng looked at the sky and turned around and said, "Young grandma, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, the post station is still ten miles away, and my subordinates are going to speed up." ”

An Rong replied, "I'm fine. ”

Zhao Cheng drove the carriage much faster.

When I arrived at the post station, the rain had already fallen.

Xiao Zhan carried An Rong into the post station.

Before An Rong's feet touched the ground, he felt a murderous aura rushing out of his face.

She looked back and saw a group of men sitting in the inn.

His face was grim and he did not smile.

There was an aura of a dark guard on his body, it was obvious.

The corners of An Rong's mouth twitched.

It's over, and I collided with the Dongyan Secret Guard. (To be continued......)
