After resting for two days, the group set off in the direction of Dujing.

Heading north from Yingzhou, the group soon arrived at Qizhou, a state adjacent to Yingzhou.

The terrain of Qizhou is steep, there are the most precipitous peaks in the whole Daliang, and arriving here means that the most bumpy part of the whole journey has arrived.

The group entered the city before dark, arrived at the post station in the city, arranged the brothers and the goods transported, and rested in Qizhou.

Early the next morning, Lu Li was still asleep, and above the street market downstairs, he began to be busy, and the lively image was not inferior to the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Lu Li sleepily pushed open the window and looked at the street, all kinds of stalls on the street were beautifully decorated with red satin, and round red lanterns were hung on both sides of each stall, and there were countless people selling lanterns and lanterns on the street.

This Qizhou has always been outside the hundred states, because of the rugged terrain surrounded by mountains and rarely communicate with the outside world, at the same time, the people here are diligent and capable, the Qizhou business is impressive, I heard that the prefect here is also a young and promising talent, which will govern Qizhou so richly.

But looking at this, it doesn't look like a normal day can be lively, could it be that today is a special festival in Qizhou?

There are many side tribes in Qizhou, and the largest number here is the Mengqi people, which are very different from their Han customs, and some festivals should be different from them.

Their team and horses need to rest for two days, and they also need to prepare for a day and a half of dry food and drinking water on the road, and it seems that they will not miss this lively festival here today.

Lu Li cleaned up and went downstairs to the front hall of the post station to eat, and happened to meet the post station steward who dressed his daughter appropriately and sent her out.

When the post manager saw Lu Li, he looked a little surprised.

"Master Lu, why did you come out wearing this today?"

Lu Li looked down at herself, the dark blue gown, the waist was a buckle of the same color, she was dressed normally, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

She touched the button on her neck, and the button was quite tight, and she was neatly dressed, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"What's wrong with me?"

"It might not be a problem in normal times, but today it's different." The post steward shook his head again and again, and Lu Li was even more puzzled, "Today is the marriage festival of our Mengqi tribe, if a man or woman has a favorite woman on the street, he must tie this marriage belt on his dress with the marriage belt of the person he likes, if the two like each other, they can tie the knot together." ”

"I see." Lu Li nodded in sudden realization, and then wondered, "But what does this have to do with my clothes?" ”

"If Master Lu goes out in men's clothes today, and is pleased by the women in the city, she will hand over the marriage belt to you, if she knows that you are wearing men's clothes, she will not give up, this is the tradition of our Mengqi tribe, do not confuse the gender to deceive the marriage belt, otherwise it will anger the in-laws and gods!"

Listening to the words of the post steward, Lu Li understood.

I almost missed a big deal.

"How's that to be? I didn't wear women's clothes. "She has been used to men's clothing since she was a child, and she has not been in the habit of preparing women's clothing.

Could it be that she can only watch the city in her room today? It's too bleak.

"Master, don't worry, you wait for me at the post station for a while, and I'll go to the ready-to-wear shop opposite to buy one for you."

"In that case, thank you, sir." Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to tell the steward about his size, but suddenly heard someone clear his throat behind him.

Looking back, it was Shangguan Yinling and Duan Lang.

"Lord Steward, please take a few meals."

Xu Yun said, the post station manager nodded again and again, and went to the back to deliver food.

Lu Li sat at the table next to him, waiting for the steward to come out.

"That's it, I don't have much appetite for days on the road, and my clothes are dirty and messy, so I went to the nearby ready-to-wear store to take a look."

"My lord, are you going to the ready-to-wear store?" Lu Li's ears were smart, and he could hear clearly, "Can you help the lower official bring one?" ”

"Bringing it to you? What are the benefits of this officer? Shangguan Yuling asked rhetorically.

Sure enough, it was the black-hearted Lord Shangguan, and the ready-to-wear shop was a few feet away from the opposite, if it weren't for the inconvenience for her to go out, she would still have to be blackmailed by him.

"Xiaguan helps you feed the wind? Boiling your bath water for you? Help you with Tuina? ”

"It's barely okay." Shangguan Yinling nodded very reluctantly, and the three of them left the post station, and Lu Li couldn't help but scold at the post station.

"Zhou Papi, Huang Shiren, is there anyone in this world that you don't dare to bully?"

At this time, the three of them were strolling in front of the skirts of the ready-to-wear shop, Duan Lang and Xu Yun had never seen women's clothes, and they couldn't tell what styles and colors were good-looking, they only felt bored, but Shangguan Yinling looked at the picks quite seriously, and finally stopped in front of a set of red skirts.

"Childe, your vision is better than that of ordinary women, this skirt is sassy and not delicate, dazzling and not gorgeous, the most suitable for our Mengqi women, Ling Mei will be able to shine at tonight's marriage festival, attracting the talented and heroic people in the city to compete for the marriage belt."

The proprietress of the ready-to-wear shop had a pair of clever mouths, and Duan Lang and Xu Yun were a little tempted to say it, and both of them stood in front of the skirt and looked at it, nodding again and again.

"It's really exquisite, I think Rao is a rough girl like Lu Li, wearing such clothes, can also attract everyone to turn back."

When the proprietress saw Duan Lang say this, she was overjoyed, and just when she thought that a business had been negotiated like this, Shangguan Yinling frowned slightly, and turned her gaze to the lake-green skirt on the other side.

"I want this."

"Childe has good eyesight, this one is not bad, the green is clear and not overwhelming, it will definitely be able to line the jasper of the little sister and the hibiscus out of the water."

The proprietress really couldn't figure out the guest's thoughts, so she had to quickly wrap his skirt and collect the money quickly.

Duan Lang and Xu Yun exchanged looks, and both of them were puzzled.

Shangguan Yinling paid the money and turned around to leave, Xu Yun couldn't help asking.

"Childe, why don't you buy clothes?"

"I don't like anything, I'll talk about it when I go back to Beijing."

You don't even look at it, how do you know that you don't have a favorite? Besides, didn't Childe come here to buy clothes for himself, how could he just be cheaper in the end?

Xu Yun was even more puzzled, but if he was a son-in-law, how could he dare to say a half-sentence, so he had to close his mouth and follow behind him.

"Eh, Childe! This matching match will take you to forget to take. The proprietress hurriedly chased out with the green marriage belt in her hand, but Shangguan Yinling looked back slightly, forcing her steps back.

"No need."

When the three of them returned to the post station, Lu Li was eating steamed buns at the table, and when he saw the three of them coming back, he hurriedly wiped the oil stains on his hands, and reached out to take the cloth bag in Shangguan Yinling's hand.

"Thank you, sir, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."
