Chapter 104 What to do with the courtesy

Duan Zhongzhong also saw him from afar, and at this time, he had already left the team and rushed over, and was stationed there to watch those Xiren cavalry. Zhuang Yi stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Duan! What do you think of these soldiers? ”

"Good! Yingzhou is also at your fingertips! I don't want Da Lang to really do this, it's really good, it's just ...... Have you ever thought about the name? Duan Zhongzhong bowed slightly and smiled politely.

"Don't worry! I've sent someone to Yuyang, let's get down to business first, and see how he goes. Zhuang Yi laughed.

"Then I'm relieved! Other things later, Zhao Niangzi is in the carriage, but she is very haggard, don't you go to see it? Duan Zhongzhong said meaningfully.

"Hey...... Of course! Zhuang Yi trotted forward to the side of the convoy, swept his eyes casually, and saw half of his face exposed by the window of a richly decorated carriage in front of him, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the carriage.

"Lang Jun......" The curtain of the carriage was brushed open, Zhao Qiuling poked his head out and shouted in surprise, and the driver of the car saw this, and drove the carriage away from the convoy with interest, and rushed to the side to stop.

The curtain in front of the carriage opened, and the two maidservants, Cai Ping and Yuhe, immediately got off the carriage and stepped forward to greet Zhuang Yi. But Zhuang Yi didn't care about them, stepped forward to the car window and grabbed Zhao Qiuling's outstretched hand, and said with some distress: "Qiu Ling! How long has it been...... How did you lose weight like this? ”

"It's okay! I'm good ...... Let it go! It's so bad to look at......" Zhao Qiuling said, tears finally filling his eyes and flowing down his pale cheeks.

"It's good to wait until you take Yingzhou! We will never be separated again......" Zhuang Yi said, letting go of his hand, and instead stepped into the carriage from the front.

Cai Ping and Yu He looked at each other and smiled, turned around and went to the back of the convoy, and got into the carriage of the other women.

The team continued to move forward slowly, and finally arrived at the camp after half an hour, Zhuang Yi arranged for everyone to camp, and went to the camps to inspect a circle, and at this time it was almost dark. The camp was filled with smoke and the smell of food, and the soldiers began to eat.

Zhuang Yi thought of the horse thief Xiao Bald that Ailan said, so he found Xiayue's big tent, and it happened that Meitu was also there, and the master and apprentice were eating, and when they saw Zhuang Yi coming, they hurriedly got up to greet each other, and wanted to call the soldiers to add a pair of tableware, but Zhuang Yi hurriedly stopped him.

"I heard that there is a horse thief named Xiao Bald in Qinglong Mountain on the north bank of the White Wolf Water, do you know where his lair is?"

"Oh...... This Xiao Bald is a thief, there are four or five hundred people under his command, could it be that Lang Jun wants to kill him? Xia Yue asked in surprise.

"Exactly! If you can collect it for me to use, it is the best, if not, I have to remove it. ”

"Qinglong Mountain is still far from here, about two days away, but we don't know where Xiao Bald's lair is, we only know that he is hiding in the area of Qinglong Mountain, and we are going to Yingzhou just by the way." Xia Yue nodded and said.

"That's good! I thought, you're an old scout, and you're good at archery! Otherwise, tomorrow you will personally take fifty people to spy first, find out the specific location and report back to me, I will lead a large army to come behind and calm him in one go. Zhuang Yi discussed and said that he needed to use these borrowed soldiers and officers properly, otherwise it would be easy to go wrong.

"Okay...... Then I'll be the first to go tomorrow morning! Kasumi nodded cheerfully in agreement.

"Then I'll go back to the account, you masters and apprentices use it slowly, rest early!"

Zhuang Yi returned to his big tent, which had been completely furnished, and all kinds of utensils were also in order, Zhao Qiuling was kneeling and waiting for him behind the low table, and when he saw Zhuang Yi entering the tent, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Lang Jun will sit down for a while, and I'll let Mei Xiang Caiping and them serve meals!" Zhao Qiuling said.

After a while, Mei Xiang Caiping and other six maidservants rushed in with trays of fish in their hands and put together food and utensils. Zhuang Yi was a little dumbfounded, the food had a large plate of roasted mutton, a small bowl of cheese, and a large bowl of noodles, which was already very rich, but there was only a pair of chopsticks and knives and forks.

"It's ...... Mine alone? Zhuang Yi said in surprise.

"Yes! If it's not enough, there are still some ......," Zhao Qiuling said with a smile.

"Alas...... That's not what I meant, have you all eaten? ”

"The concubine has already eaten first, just waiting for her husband to come back!" Zhao Qiuling was a little inexplicable when he heard this.

"Alas...... Why don't you wait for me to come back and eat together? You sit too! It doesn't hurt to eat more! Zhuang Yi said suspiciously, as soon as Zhao Qiuling arrived at Diexiu Village, he left, and the two have not had the opportunity to dine at the same table so far.

"Huh? There's no such thing...... Husband! You...... How can you not observe etiquette......"

Zhao Qiuling was also dumbfounded, Cai Ping and Yuhe also opened their mouths in surprise, they were born in a family of eunuchs, they were familiar with various etiquette, and their words and deeds were very exquisite. And Mei Xiang and the other four Xi maids were also so shocked that they didn't know what to say, although they didn't have so many rules, but women also had no status, and they rarely ate at the same table with men and women.

This is a feudal era of etiquette, everything will be regulated according to the corresponding etiquette system, there is yin and yang regardless of the world, men and women are seven years old and do not sit at the same time, even between husband and wife, the official eunuch and wealthy family dining, the distance is even more scary.

"What etiquette is not etiquette...... Isn't it just dining, what does it have to do with etiquette? Come and sit down...... You see, how can I eat. ”

Zhao Qiuling hesitated for a while, couldn't help but laugh, and had to order the maid to add another pair of tableware, sat down on the short side very entangledly, and ordered the maid to retreat.

"This is delicious! Eat this...... You eat more! Lost so much weight...... How can this work? I don't know, I think I'm abusing my mother. Zhuang Yi began to be courteous, and at the same time, his hands were not idle, and he vigorously served Zhao Qiuling vegetables.

This made Zhao Qiuling almost go berserk, holding chopsticks in his hand, unable to do it for a while. She wanted to refuse, but when she heard Zhuang Yi say this, her heart was warm, and she couldn't speak, and she was suddenly stunned and didn't know what to do.

"Eat it! If you don't eat it, it'll be cold! Come...... I'll feed you! Zhuang Yi began to gobble up, and when he saw Zhao Qiuling put down the chopsticks again, he immediately took a knife to cut off a piece of mutton, stuffed the sauce again, clamped it with chopsticks, and handed it to Zhao Qiuling.

Zhao Qiuling looked at him in a daze, seeing that Zhuang Yi was very serious, and there was no joke in her eyes, now she finally understood, Zhuang Yi didn't understand these etiquettes at all, and she didn't want to pay attention to this at all, and suddenly her heart was mixed.

"Xie Fujun! You eat! I really had dinner! Zhao Qiuling smiled faintly and said softly.

"Alright! Anyway, how long have I been going to the grassland, it seems that it has been more than two months, and it is really difficult for you to suffer without suffering...... From now on, yours will never be left behind! ”

"The husband is also for meritorious service, this is as it should be, and it is nothing for the concubine to suffer a little."

"That's right! I sent someone to Yuyang to see your father, this time should have arrived a long time ago, and when the spring of next year begins, we will prepare gifts and go together! Zhuang Yi was also a little uncomfortable at this time, and he didn't know what to say to comfort her.

"Hmm...... Good! I'm also a little homesick, my dad actually doesn't have a temper, it's very good to talk, my aunt is also a gentle temperament, but my grandfather is a little strict, if you see him, don't contradict him, he's old and in bad health! When Zhao Qiuling said this, tears rolled in his eyes again.

Zhuang Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand and groped in his arms twice, wanting to hand her a handkerchief, but found that he had never used it at all, and he was suddenly a little at a loss.
