Chapter 347: Jianning and Boo
"What is this, I haven't seen it, buy it and try it."
"This one looks delicious."
"These, and this, all bought......"
……
Strangely dressed women and strong men walked down the streets, attracting the attention of countless people.
She didn't care about it, bought all the snacks from the street stalls, and finally walked into a remote inn.
The inn looked dilapidated, the door was ajar, she pushed the door in, and several figures in the room immediately stood up, folded their hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and said a few words, as if some unknown language.
The woman asked in the same language, and one of them immediately pointed upstairs.
The giant man who followed her in opened the leather bag around his waist and showed off to the few people in the house, but the woman had already gone up the stairs, and when she came to a certain door, she knocked on the door and pushed it in.
A middle-aged woman was sitting at a table, and when she walked over, the middle-aged woman asked, "Did you hear that?" ”
The woman stood still, stunned, and asked, "Inquire about what?" ”
The middle-aged woman looked at the sugar gourd that was still in her hand and asked, "Let me inquire about the affairs of the Chen State Mission, are you just buying things to eat?" ”
"I forgot, but the things of the Han people are really delicious...... the woman looked at the sugar gourd in her hand, handed it over with some reluctance, and said, "Do you eat it?" ”
"The convoy that Chen Guo escorted Princess Pingyang to the marriage of Chu State has arrived in Yunzhou." The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, "Once the marriage between the Chen State and the Chu State is completed, they will be like a family, and when the two countries raise troops to attack the grassland, your cattle and sheep will be robbed by them, the war horses will be robbed by them, and the women and children will be robbed!" ”
When the woman heard this, her face showed indignation, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The cunning Han people, absolutely, can't let them get ...... and ......, how do you say that Han saying?" ”
The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, "Go and copy the word 'success' a hundred times." ”
The woman's face immediately fell.
……
The weather in March and April is the most comfortable, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and there is a hint of coolness in the breeze, Zhao Man took off his shoes and socks, sat on the stones by the stream, raised his feet, splashed the water, and ran to the grass barefoot after a while, happy because he caught a butterfly.
A clean white cloth was spread on the grass, on which were placed the various snacks that had just been bought from the street.
Tang Ning pillowed his hands behind his head, lay on the grass, and watched the white clouds in the sky float by.
It has been more than a month since he left Beijing, but the journey has not yet passed halfway, and there is probably still half a month before he enters the territory of Chu.
Further ahead, it is the northernmost part of the Chen State, the further north, the weaker the imperial court's control over the place, and the more chaotic it is, if someone wants to block the marriage, they will definitely choose to do it in this section.
Although these people had the same purpose as him, they could not let them succeed.
Nominally, he is also the wedding envoy of this trip, and his responsibility is to send the princess safely to the capital of Chu State, and if anything goes wrong along the way, he has to bear the main responsibility, which cannot be escaped.
However, when he arrived in the Chu State, his task was completed, and naturally he did not have so many scruples, whether it was robbing people or stealing people, it had nothing to do with him, but the responsibility of the Chu court.
He was lying on the grass with his eyes closed and basking in the sun, when he suddenly heard the sound of "boom" and "boom" in the air.
He sat up and saw that Zhao Man had picked up a rattan from nowhere, and he was waving it vigorously.
She came over with a rattan and said, "The young lady I met today is so powerful, I also want to learn how to throw a whip, and when I learn it, if that dead peach still scares me with her snake, I will whip her with a whip!" ”
Zhao Hao was still worried about Xiao Tao scaring her with a snake, as if she thought of the woman's majestic appearance just now, and her face showed longing and expectation.
Tang Ning stood up, snatched the whip from her hand, and said, "Girls' don't play with whips......"
She is still young, and her three views have not yet been fully established, so it is best not to touch whips and candles......
Women who like whips have a bit of a queen plot, and if anyone marries a woman who is skilled in whipping in the future, the rest of their lives will be lively.
"But there's nothing to play...... Zhao Man clapped his hands, lay down beside Tang Ning, and said, "Otherwise, you can tell me a story, I haven't listened to a story for a long time." ”
As long as she doesn't play with whips, anything is fine, Tang Ning nodded and said, "Then what do you want to hear?" ”
Zhao Man lay on the grass, looked at him sideways, and said, "I like to listen to what you say." ”
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Then let's talk about a "Deer and Ding Ji". ”
Although marriage is a national event, there are no absolutes, and it is still necessary for her to reduce some psychological pressure.
Butcher Zheng leaned against a tree not far away, put the pig-killing knife next to him, and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
On the grass by the stream, young men and women lay side by side with their hands behind their heads, the cool breeze by the stream, the white clouds in the sky, Tang Ning flipped his memory, and told a legendary story, Zhao Man hummed a light tune in his mouth, and looked satisfied.
The original text is more than one million words, of course Tang Ning can't finish it all, but he just explains the story clearly, especially focusing on the part of Princess Jianning's marriage, the purpose is to let Zhao Man regain a little confidence.
As he spoke, he suddenly felt that there was no movement beside him, turned his head, and saw Zhao Man's eyes rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.
After thinking for a while, she looked up at Tang Ning and asked, "Is Princess Jianning talking about me?" ”
Tang Ning glanced at her and asked, "Do you think you look like you?" ”
"Not really." Zhao Man shook his head and said, "I'm more ladylike than her......"
She thought about it again, and suddenly asked, "You say, if I click the crown prince of Chu State, won't I be able to marry?" ”
"Nope." Downing ruthlessly shattered her illusions.
There is only one prince in the state of Chu, if the prince becomes a eunuch, it is estimated that the state of Chu will immediately tear up the skin with the state of Chen, and it will be incompatible, and the mission to the state of Chu this time will not want to come back.
"Then I'll listen to you." Zhao Man sat up and said, "But why does Wei Xiaobao want to marry so many women, he is too sexy!" ”
This is to ask the author, in addition to Wei Xiaobao, he knows a senior surnamed Li, and he has also married a lot, it seems that there are not a few authors who like this tune.
Tang Ning didn't answer, but Zhao Man suddenly seemed to think of something, lowered his head, and his face turned red.
Although Princess Jianning is a princess, she finally married Xiaobao, is he hinting at himself something, although his father will not agree, but they can also go to a place where no one can find it and be happy together......
……
After telling the story, the time was almost up, when she went back, Zhao Man seemed to have something on her mind, she couldn't give up, Tang Ning took her back, and no one found out, if there was no accident, no one would enter the room where the princess was.
After sending her back, he turned back into the street.
The girl selling tofu flowers was cleaning up the stall, Tang Ning walked over, and when the woman saw him, she immediately said, "The folk girl has seen an adult!" ”
Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Boss, whether your secret recipe for tofu flower is sold or not, I want to buy your secret recipe." ”
The woman hurriedly said: "If the adult likes it, the little woman will give you the secret recipe, anyway, the little woman is about to leave Yunzhou, and it is useless to keep this secret recipe." ”
As she spoke, she bent down and dragged out a small box from under the table and chair, opened it, took out a yellowed piece of paper from the innermost, and said, "This secret recipe is an ancestral heirloom from the little girl's family, if the adults don't dislike it, please take it." ”
Tang Ning took the paper, opened it and looked at it, then took out a silver ticket from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "The money is to buy a secret recipe, and the girl has collected it." ”
The girl looked at the one hundred taels of silver tickets on the table, and immediately said, "My lord, this can't be done, this can't be ......."
"I like the taste of this tofu flower very much, since you are leaving Yunzhou, you should accept this silver ticket, and you can make another living when you go to another place." After Tang Ning said a word, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
Family recipes are other people's means of making a living, many people regard it as more important than their lives, and it is a bit too much to buy other people's secret recipes, but Zhao Hao likes it, and Tang Ning can only give her a relatively generous compensation.
He was walking down the street, and at one moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Stop!"
He turned his head and saw the alien woman he had seen today hurrying after him.
