Although I was not in a hurry along the way, after a month of travel, a short rest for a few days could also make the soldiers who were highly nervous all the way relax a little.

What's more, there are two envoys who have some physical conditions and need to rest even more, if Tang Ning refuses He Rui's request, it will inevitably seem that he, the superior, is not close to the people, which is not conducive to the cohesion of the entire team.

The most important thing is that he promised Zhao Yu to take her out to play......

"Then thank you, Lord Tang." He Rui raised his head and arched his hand, turned around and retreated.

Not long after He Rui went out, Lu Teng strode in.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked at Tang Ning and said straight to the point: "Lord Tang, why do we want to stay in Yunzhou for three days, I don't think there is any need to delay the trip so much, just rest for one night, and we can leave early tomorrow morning......

Tang Ning looked at him and explained: "The soldiers have been on the road for so long, and they have all worked hard, staying here for three days can allow them to take turns to rest, not to mention, the two envoys in the mission are in poor health and also need to recuperate, there are already two envoys who have had an accident along the way, if there are two more of them, and the big thing is delayed in the Chu State, the court will blame." ”

Although Lu Teng is a rectum, he is not a dead brain, and after thinking about it, he agreed to this arrangement and went out to arm.

Along the way, he didn't say much, but he never slacked off in his position.

Tang Ning sat down to rest for a while, and a little palace maid walked in and said, "Lord Tang, princess, please come over." ”

promised that when Zhao Man arrived in the next state city, he would take her out for a walk, and she couldn't wait when she arrived.

Zhao Man was pacing in the room, and when he saw him coming in, he immediately asked, "How can we get out?" ”

Along the way, she wanted to go out for a walk more than once, but was stopped by Lu Teng.

Although she is a princess, Lu Teng is responsible for the safety of this trip, and these things still have to be listened to him.

Lu Teng can be described as conscientious in the matter of guarding, this post station, especially Zhao Man's courtyard, is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is almost impossible to take her out unnoticed.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "I'll go talk to Lu Teng first." ”

"No way!" Outside the courtyard, Tang Ning had just spoken, but Lu Teng refused without thinking about it, and said categorically: "The princess's daughter, how can she risk going out, what if something happens?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Commander Lu can send more guards to follow. ”

Lu Teng shook his head resolutely and said, "No, if something happens to the princess, we can't afford to take this responsibility." ”

"Then forget it."

Tang Ning waved his hand, along the way, he also knew something about Lu Teng's character, and the other party decided that ten cows couldn't pull it back, so he didn't have to waste his tongue here.

He walked back to the room, Zhao Man looked at him and asked, "How is it, did he agree?" ”

Tangning shook his head.

"Then forget it......" Although Zhao Man was a little disappointed, he still looked at him and said, "If you sneak out and are discovered, your father will punish you when you go back." ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at her and said, "You wait a minute. ”

The solution is always thought of by people, when she was in the palace, she was a canary in a cage, and now that she has left Beijing, it is time to fly out of the cage.

Walking the rivers and lakes, more skills do not pressure the body, this is the truth that Tang Ning has always firmly believed.

Therefore, he learned poison from the old beggar, Gu from Su Mei, over the wall with Tang Yaoyao, and makeup from Xiu'er......

Xiu'er is gifted and can turn one person into another through makeup, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake, and Tang Ning is not as good as her, but she has also learned her six-seven-point skill, which is enough to cope with most situations.

Zhao Man watched Tang Ning put a box on the table, took out something like rouge gouache from it, and asked curiously: "What is this for?" ”

Tang Ning washed his hands and dried them before looking at her and said, "Sit down." ”

Zhao Man sat upright and asked, "Do you want to put makeup on me?" ”

Tang Ning first applied a layer of foundation powder evenly on her face, Zhao Man couldn't help but giggle, and said, "Itchy......"

The base powder of women's makeup includes rice powder, lead powder, mercury powder, etc., and the powder used by Downing is pearl powder, which is lightly applied to a layer, followed by blush.

The thrush of the third step is the most important step, Tang Ning has painted Xiaoru Xiaoyi many times, but if he wants to deceive others, Zhao Man here, he still has to spend some effort.

"Close your eyes." He thought about it, reminded her, and then slowly put down his pen.

Zhao Man sat there quietly, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at him with a wink.

Tang Ning carefully looked at his eyebrows and said, "Close your eyes first, otherwise it won't look good when you draw it." ”

"I want to look at you like that." Zhao Man looked at him, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and said, "It would be nice if I could watch it for a lifetime." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I know, hurry up and close your eyes." ”

A girl's liking is blind, Downing will not puncture her beautiful fantasies, and when she grows up, she may be able to understand something.

Half an hour later, Tang Ning rubbed his sour wrist and said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Man stood up, looked at the woman in the bronze mirror, opened her mouth in surprise, and turned her head to look at the little palace maid standing aside.

The little palace maid looked at the face on the other side that was a little similar to her, and stammered, "Princess, princess......"

……

When Tang Ning walked out of the small courtyard, he saw Lu Teng standing outside the courtyard with a knife on his shoulder.

"The princess has fallen asleep." Tang Ning looked at him, then looked at the little palace maid behind him with her head bowed, and said, "Don't forget what the princess wants to buy." ”

The little palace maid said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Lu Teng's eyes swept over the little palace maid's body, looked at the team of soldiers who walked by, and said loudly: "Cheer up ......"

Zhao Man dressed as a little palace maid walked on the street, licking a sugar gourd, walking three steps and one jump, and her mood was obviously very happy.

Downing walked beside her, once again realizing how useful an extra skill was.

She suddenly stopped, sniffed, and said, "What a smell, it's so fragrant." ”

Tang Ning also smelled a burst of fragrance, followed the fragrance and looked over, and found a stall selling tofu brains on the side of the road.

Except in the third uncle's shop, it was the first time he had seen a tofu brain sold outside, but the sign in front of the stall said tofu flowers.

Zhao Man held the sugar gourd and said, "I want to eat that." ”

"Boss, let's have three bowls of tofu flowers." Tang Ning walked over, wiped the stool, and sat down with Zhao Man.

The seller of tofu flowers is a young woman, who looks a few years older than Zhao Man, wearing a cloth dress, her hair is wrapped in cloth, and her appearance is quite standard, probably because of this reason, there are not many customers at the stall, most of them are men.

Sitting next to Tang Ning and Zhao Man were two strange-looking people, a man and a woman, both young people, dressed strangely, and April Tian was actually wearing some kind of fur clothes.

The man sat in the position, two heads taller than Tang Ning, at least two meters tall, the woman should be about the same height as Zhao Man, the hairstyle was very strange, combed into pigtails one by one, close to the head, seemed to notice Tang Ning's gaze, glanced back at him, and said in an unkind tone: "What do you see?" ”

She spoke in a strange tone, I don't know where the dialect was, Downing glanced at her, and then withdrew his gaze.

"They can eat so much......" Zhao Man looked at the mountains of bowls stacked in front of the two, pulled Tang Ning's sleeve, and whispered.

Although the amount of tofu brain is not much, eating a dozen bowls at a time is enough to be terrifying.

The proprietress put three bowls of tofu flowers on the table and said, "Guest officer, your tofu flowers." ”

Lao Zheng tasted it, nodded and said, "It's better than Su Laosan's family, and it's better than Su Laosan's wife." ”

Zhao Man also tasted it, covered his mouth hotly, and didn't forget to say to Tang Ning: "Good times......"

Tang Ning tasted the taste and found that it was really better than the third uncle's house, it should be some secret recipe for this proprietress, no wonder the business is so good.

The woman next to Tang Ning put down the bowl heavily, patted the table, and said in a broken accent: "Three more bowls!" ”

The proprietress looked at the stacked bowls in front of them, and her face showed shock, but she still nodded and said, "Wait a minute, the guest officer will come soon." ”

As she turned to get busy, a voice came from the street.

"How much is a bowl of tofu flowers?"

She turned around and said, "Back to the guest officer, two pennies a bowl." ”

The young man on the street put away the folding fan in his hand and said, "It's so cheap, so be it, I'll give you twenty taels of silver, how about you accompany me for three nights?" ”

Only then did the proprietress hear the lightness in his words, and said in a little panic: "Guest officer, guest officer, please respect yourself......"

The young man spread out the folding fan, shook his head and said, "This is what you said about two pennies a night, everyone heard it, do you want to regret it?" ”

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the face of the proprietress and said with a smile: "This little face is tender, the same as tofu, twenty taels is worth ......."

Syllable!

After the sound of breaking wind, a bloody mark immediately appeared on the young man's outstretched hand.

He covered the back of his hands, his face was hideous, his forehead was bruised, and he said angrily: "Who! ”

The woman beside Tang Ning withdrew the whip in her hand, looked at the proprietress and said in a very non-standard Chinese dialect: "Tofu flower, can't you get it yet?" ”
