Chapter 195 Inside the Tiancang Pass

The weather was hot in July, but for some reason it was still very hot. The voyage set the wedding day on August 18, and today is just the first day of the new year, and there are still 17 days to go, so there is no hurry.

I got up early in the morning and looked at Liqiu, who was sleeping next to me, and Yuanhang laughed again. Since I learned that Liqiu was pregnant yesterday, I woke up a few times at night with a smile, stretched out my hand from under the thin quilt, and gently put it on Liqiu's abdomen.

Liqiu was woken up by him, put his hand on his, smiled at him, and said softly: "Xianggong likes children very much, and he has touched them many times at night." ”

Yuanhang nodded and said with a smile: "I like it very much, if it's a girl, it's fine." ”

Liqiu put away her smile, pursed her small mouth, and said unwillingly: "Why is it a girl, I want to give birth to a boy." ”

"A girl is like a father, if a boy follows you, then it will be fine." Yuanhang supported his head with one hand and looked at her with a smirk.

"Nonsense, I will give birth to a boy, so that I can inherit the family for the father." Liqiu lost his temper and took Yuanhang's hand away from him.

Yuanhang smiled, coaxed her and said, "Okay, boy, boy." He said that he climbed up dishonestly.

"Oh, don't mess around." Li Qiu frowned, put his hand away to cover his chest, and scolded, "Don't hurt the child." ”

The voyage can't cry or laugh, is it possible that you are pregnant with the child on your chest? Seeing her like this, she didn't force it, got up and said: "If you have nothing to do, go to the spring, it's very good for the child, I will go to Tiancang Pass today and return in the afternoon." ”

"Well, be careful." Liqiu turned around and looked up at the voyage.

Yuanhang out of the room, walked to the inner room and knocked on the door to call Du Wen. Du Wen opened the door, and Yuanhang was stunned.

Today, she intends to change into a long skirt, a white long skirt reaches the ground, a pale pink belt is tied around her waist, her hair is pulled into a weeping willow bun, and a wisp of green silk hangs down on both sides, looking pure and delicate, like a small jasper. The eyebrows are like waves, the phoenix eyes are flirtatious, the corners of the mouth are lightly raised, and he is looking at the voyage with a smile, and the two dimples are more obvious.

It was the first time for Yuanhang to see Du Wen dressed like this, no wonder he was fascinated. knew that Du Wen's appearance was not inferior to Yilan, but she didn't know that she was so moving when she was dressed up.

"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that he was just standing stupidly outside the door, Du Wen burst out laughing.

Yuanhang sneered and said, "I'm fascinated, you're so good-looking." ”

Du Wen's face turned red, turned her head to the side, and said angrily: "I will only say some good things to coax people." ”

Yuanhang took a step forward and said with a smile: "It's not only good words, but also actions." After speaking, he hugged Du Wen and kissed him hard. Du Wen didn't dare to shout loudly, nor did she dare to resist for fear of hurting the voyage, so she had to half-push and half-push, and he succeeded.

After some intimacy, the two of them came out with the door. Coming to Dao Zi's residence, Ah Jin, in August, the three of Dao Zi have been waiting for a long time. Qingxiang didn't know how to ride a horse, so Yuanhang didn't let Dao Zi call her. A few people were ready to set off, Tang Ling and Meteor ran over, saying good things to go together. Yuanhang thought about it, whether it was to take these two children to go shopping, it would be difficult for them to be in the house all day, so he agreed. The two of them happily followed them and walked towards the stable.

Out of the north gate of the official road straight for more than 40 miles, the voyage and everyone all the way to laugh, did not urge the horse to hurry, from a distance to see a pass standing on the official road.

Put the horse to the pass, there are no soldiers guarding the south gate of Tiancang Pass, look up, there are a few soldiers standing above the pass. The three big characters on the door are vigorous and powerful, and the sky is clear.

When he sailed into the gate, he saw people coming and going in the gate, mostly enclosing the land for himself, putting the goods in the open air, and shouting loudly. There are vendors everywhere, and there are few shops in the gate, so it looks like a big bazaar.

Everyone found a horse station, but it was just an empty field fenced off, and under a simple shed, three men were sitting at the table drinking herbal tea.

"Brother, can our horses be kept here?" Yuanhang and the others waited outside the courtyard, and Wuying went in alone to chat with the three men.

A man looked up at Wuying, nodded and replied: "Yes, this is where the horses are stored, how many horses do you have?" ”

"Eight horses in total." Shadowless turned around and pointed back.

"A tael of silver for a horse." The man looked at the voyage for a moment, turned to the stake beside him, and said, "Tie the horse yourself." ”

Shadowless frowned, glanced at them, held back his anger, and turned back to Yuanhang.

"Young master, they want a tael of silver and a horse."

Dao Zi took a step forward, separated from Wuying and was about to pass, but Wuying grabbed him and looked at the voyage.

Yuanhang grinned, handed the reins to Wuying, and said, "Go, just put it here." ”

"Yes." Wuying shook Daozi's arm hard, let go of the reins, and led the horse in. Dao Zi endured his anger and led the horse to follow.

Several men tied their horses and walked out of the station. The voyage asked Ah Jin and them to go shopping for goods, and they were told not to make trouble, and they gathered here at noon. He and Wuying went to the north gate of Tiancang Pass and checked the customs defense.

Ah Jin saw an old man not far away, and a carriage in front of him was full of wine jars, looking like an old man selling wine. stepped forward to salute and asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you know where there are screens to sell?" ”

The old man pondered for a moment, pointed to the east, and replied, "There is a purple wood screen of the Shang Kingdom on that side, but it is expensive. He pointed to the west again and said, "This side is Liangguo fragrant wood, and the price is not as good as purple wood, so you can decide it yourself." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Ah Jin chuckled and came back to inform everyone, and after a little discussion, a few people walked towards the east side.

The voyage strolled around and walked north. Approaching the north gate, I saw that the number of soldiers was gradually increasing, and the merchants who came from the north gate had to go through strict inspection when they entered the gate.

The two of them stood at the door and watched for a while, and when they saw that the soldiers only checked the belongings of the common people, and those who were a little rich and noble handed over some silver, the soldiers smiled and let them go.

The two of them glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, this pass is just a decoration, if it is useful, I am afraid it is just to extort some silver taels.

"Young master, this pass is so lax, no wonder the Shang Kingdom can easily come and go, and I am afraid that it is also very easy to enter thousands of troops." Shadowless whispered beside Yuanhang.

"Yes, I need to discuss with General Lin when I go back, and it will be a disaster in the long run." Yuanhang nodded in agreement. Suddenly remembered Li Tian's words, there was a merchant in Cangguan this day, and instructed Wuying: "You go and find out where the Tianlai Inn is." ”

Wuying randomly found a merchant and found out, Tianlai Inn was in the southwest corner, Yuanhang decided to go to meet Shang Guozuo, and the two of them walked all the way under the city wall.

A row of simple wooden houses, without even a signboard, only a pole was erected in front of the door, on which was hung a cloth and the words Tianlai Inn were written crookedly.

Yuanhang walked into the house, a big-bellied shopkeeper sat behind the stage, and when he saw Yuanhang and the two come in, he didn't even get up, and asked lazily: "Do you stay in the hotel or rest?" ”

Yuanhang took out a tael of silver and threw it over, and said, "I want to stay in the hotel for nineteen days." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he looked at the voyage, got up and touched the silver, and said slowly, "Let's go to the room to rest first." ”

The man came and led the two to the innermost room on the west side, and the shopkeeper took a few pounds of silver, laughed, and said to himself, "It's better that this money comes quickly." With that, he put the silver in his bosom and walked out.

Ah Jin and the others found the place where the screen was sold, and they really saw an excellent screen, with meticulous workmanship and excellent wood, which was far from being comparable to the screen in Jiangzhou. Several people let Du Wen call the shots, Du Wen shook her head and said, "You can choose what you like." ”

Ah Kim looked back at August and asked her to choose. Dao Zi scratched his head and looked at Du Wen, and said in a humble voice: "Fifth young grandmother, I am a rough person, I won't choose this, you will call the shots for me." ”

Du Wen's face turned red, no one had ever called herself like this, so she tapped the show head at the moment and chose for Dao Zi first.

In August, I saw a red screen, and the pattern on it was a horse stepping on auspicious clouds, and I liked it very much, and turned my head to look at Ah Jin. Ah Jin had no objection and nodded with a smile.

Du Wen thought that Qingxiang was born in a medical family, so she was looking for some simple and elegant patterns, and saw a pink and white screen, painted with various flowers, which was very exquisite, turned to Dao Zi, and asked, "Do you think this Qingxiang will like it?" ”

"Well, that's it." Dao Zi knew that she would like it, and the fifth young grandmother said that it would be good.

Du Wen thought that Yuanhang always liked to dance and write, so she chose a lilac screen for herself, which had no patterns on it, and was full of calligraphy sentences.

Negotiate the price, hire a carriage and put the screen on the car. Du Wen saw that it was still early, so she wanted to continue shopping, but Ah Jin and Dao Zi didn't want to move, so they stayed to take care of the screen.

Meteor had already seen a lot of food on the other side, and his saliva had been swallowed a few times, so he pulled Tang Ling up and ran towards that side. Du Wen chuckled, instructed Ah Jin a few words, and walked to the other side with August, which was full of things used by girls.

There was another group of people, no less than a dozen people. The first boy looked like a son, got off the horse, stood outside and watched around.

The men led the horses in, and the boy suddenly saw the dark clouds stepping on the snow, his eyes lit up, and he walked into the horse station.

"What a horse." The boy stood in front of Kuroko and muttered to himself, reaching out to touch Kuroko. Kuroko snored, dodged the horse's head, didn't let him touch it, and turned to face the man.

"The third prince has a crush on this horse?" A middle-aged scholar-like attendant asked on the side.

"Horses are good horses, but it's a pity that they have owners." The boy said regretfully, his eyes never left Kuroko's body.

"Go, ask who owns this horse, and if you can sell it." The scholar shouted backwards, and someone ran to ask a few horsemen under the shed.

"This horse is owned by the guest, and it is temporarily stored here, and whether it is sold or not needs to wait for the owner to return." Watch the horse man shout under the shed.

The scholar-like person came over and said, "If the third prince likes it, his subordinates will call someone to take it away." ”

"Don't cause trouble and delay the right thing." The boy looked at the sunspot reluctantly, added unwillingly, and said: "Leave the two of them, and wait for the master to come back to see if they can be sold." ”

"Yes, Third Prince." After the scholar explained, he left the two of them here, followed the boy, and walked out of the horse station.

Du Wen and August walked around, and the jewelry, head flowers and other objects abound, although they are not expensive, but they are very novel. The two of them were dazzled, discussing quietly while buying for the women in the house. But he never thought that there was a pair of eyes on the other side, looking at Du Wen in a daze.

"The Third Son." The scholar called softly, and followed the child's gaze.

"There is such a beautiful woman here...... the boy looked at him stupidly, as if to answer him.

The scholar took a closer look and said, "This woman has never seen it in the guan, but the third prince has taken a fancy to it?" I'll ask. ”

This time, the boy didn't stop him and nodded.

The middle-aged scholar pretended to be careless and walked over.

"August, do you think this is suitable for Sister Liqiu?" Du Wen picked up a wooden hairpin, smiled and handed it to August.

Although the hairpin is made of wood, it is very heavy, and it must be made of fine wood. The carving is extremely fine, and on the small hairpin, there is actually a dragon and a phoenix. The tail of the hairpin is in the shape of a round ball, and the dragon's beak and phoenix beak gather here to give birth to this bead.

August nodded and chuckled, and replied, "Very good, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and the children are complete." ”

"Giggles, then I chose this one to give to her." Du Wen covered her mouth and laughed, seeing that the boy opposite was drunk and lost his demeanor.

"This girl, be polite." The middle-aged scholar walked up behind Du Wen, gave a light salute, and looked up at her.

"Courtesy, sir." Du Wen turned around, didn't know this person, and politely returned the salute.

"Excuse me about the two girls, I don't know if the two of you are from the Liang country?" The scholar asked lightly.

"What do you want?" August is accustomed to being very vigilant, and he stopped in front of Du Wen and asked.

The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Two girls, don't doubt it, I want to buy a headdress for the cheap, just because I don't understand this thing, seeing the two girls here, I take the liberty to disturb, hoping that the girl can buy one for me." ”

After hearing this, Du Wen pulled August, looked at the scholar and said, "Sir, don't be weird, the two of us don't know about this thing, but it just looks good." Since the gentleman has a heart, he only needs to give one thing at will, and the lady will be pleased. ”

After hearing this, the scholar smiled indifferently and said: "Naturally, it is better to choose some good ones, but I don't know if there is a better thing than this in Jiangzhou, Liang?" ”

"Jiangzhou is mostly silverware, rarely wooden, even if there is one, it will not be better than here, Mr. will choose it here." Du Wen replied without thinking.

"Thank you, girl, in that case, I won't go to Jiangzhou anymore." After the scholar finished speaking, he saluted again and said, "The reason why I asked the girl is because the girl is quite like the daughter of my old friend, but unfortunately this girl was lost in this pass ten years ago, so every time I come here to do business, I always pay attention to it." ”

"Oh?" Du Wen tightened up after hearing this, and said to the scholar: "It's rare that Mr. has a heart, and I hope to find that sister as soon as possible and reunite with the family." ”

"Thank you, girl, take the liberty to ask, girl's surname?"

Du Wen hesitated, perhaps this person moved her by looking for a daughter for ten years for her friend, and replied softly: "The surname of the folk girl is Du, and the word Wen." ”

"It turned out to be Miss Du, and it was really not the daughter of my old friend, so I won't bother and say goodbye." The scholar gave a salute and said goodbye, and Du Wen returned the salute.

"Young grandmother, you shouldn't tell others about your name." August stared at the scholar and saw him walk around the vendor to the opposite side, where a group of people stood in the corner, and one of them was looking at it.

"We'll leave right away, and we'll be fine." Du Wen didn't care, lowered her head and continued to choose.

The scholar walked back to his son's side and whispered, "This woman should be from Jiangzhou, Daliang, and her name is Du Wen." ”

The boy nodded silently, and when he saw August coming, he turned his head to the side. A man dressed as a chaifu walked up to the scholar and said a few words softly, and the scholar waved him down.

"Third son, you go shopping in the customs first, there's someone over there, I'll pick it up." The scholar stepped forward and whispered.

"Haha, there's someone over there, it's a coincidence." The boy's eyes lit up, as if he was quite interested, and he laughed out loud.
