Chapter 47: Walking Together (Part II)
Shu'er sighed: "It is said that Shu Road is difficult, but I didn't expect that going to Song Country is such a difficult errand." I once asked how to enter the Song Dynasty from the Chen State, but it was not impossible to do it before, but the current new Chen King seems to have no intention of interacting with the Song State at all. Zhao was sandwiched between Song and Chen, and in order not to offend either party, he controlled the population exchanges between the two countries extremely strictly. When Shu entered the Song Dynasty, there was only one dangerous road, and I heard that everyone had no return. And the state of Chu entered the Song Dynasty, unless it entered Shengwang County, it was even more difficult. ”
Zhuge calmly asked, "Why does Boss Yan want to go to Song Kingdom so much?" ”
Shu'er said abruptly: "I haven't been back for too long, I'm just curious......"
"Boss Yan turned out to be from the Song Kingdom?"
"I was born in the Song Kingdom and later ...... I went to the Chu State, thanks to the merchant ships of your Zhuge family. After two years in the state of Chu, he went to the state of Chen. ”
"It turns out that Boss Yan has traveled all over the world since he was a child, no wonder he has a unique vision and can make a fortune with makeup. Where are you going? ”
Shu'er pointed to the south and said, "I'll go to Shu." ”
Zhuge said calmly: "I'm also about to go to Shu, if Boss Yan doesn't dislike it, let's go together?" ”
Although Shu'er knows that it is very inconvenient for men and women to travel together, but now he is a big man with a sword with a king, and Young Master Zhuge still respectfully calls her "Boss Yan", so there will be no wrong thing to think about. Shu Road is difficult to walk, and there is a rumored "top of the beauty list" in the rivers and lakes to accompany him, which is indeed a little exciting. And along the way, maybe you can also find out which of the seven kings of Chu is supported by the Zhuge family for Lin Ying. If he is really disgusted, he will find a reason to part ways in the future, so why refuse his kindness to go with him now? So he smiled and said: "Okay, being able to walk with Young Master Zhuge must be the dream of many young women in this world, but unfortunately I took the lead!" ”
Zhuge smiled calmly at the handsome young man in front of him who was wearing a red fox and holding Meng Lin's sword, and felt that he had crooked eyes with a smile, as if he had many bad ideas, like his red-haired bad fox. Zhuge said calmly: "My little fox doesn't know where to run, it has never run away before, and it doesn't appear for a day or a night." And our grilled fish is so good, it's time for it to come back. ”
Shu'er said, "Why don't we go to the forest separately and look for it?" ”
Zhuge nodded calmly and said, "Okay." Boss Yan carries a sword, if there are jackals, tigers, leopards, black bears and the like in the forest, you must not fight with them, and escape is the best policy. If you get lost, make a fire and wait for me to find you. If you can't find it, we'll come back here after a stick of incense. ”
Shu'er praised: "Young Master Zhuge is really thoughtful. So he took up his sword and went into the woods alone. The forest during the day is not as scary as at night, and the branches of the trees are still hung with last night's snow, and the vast expanse is crystal clear, like a fairy land. She walked lightly on the snow on the dead branches and leaves, leaving a series of small footprints on it, and occasionally saw the footprints of some mountain birds, which she thought was very interesting.
After a long time, Shu'er walked under a low tree, and suddenly saw a red-haired big-tailed fox lying in a pool of red blood, with its eyes open and motionless, already dying. She hurriedly ran over and picked up the bleeding little fox, tore off a few pieces of clothing and cloth to hastily bandage its scratched paws and belly, and then carried it back to the fire where the fish was grilled by the ice lake.
When Zhuge came back calmly, he saw that the petite and thin Boss Yan was only wearing a light linen-colored cotton coat, and there were a few pieces of fabric missing from the cuffs, and he looked independent and stubborn in the cold wind next to the fire. Zhuge calmly picked up the fox who was sleeping warmly in the injury, and said gratefully: "Thank you Boss Yan for rescuing the little fox!" The cold wind is bleak, you quickly put on the big hat, and I will go to the house to get a coat and wrap it in the little fox. ”
Shu'er calmly bought some herbs to stop bleeding and heal injuries in Binghu Town, and put them on Xiaohu, and the two of them rode a donkey and went to Shu together.
Zhuge calmly hugged the injured fox all the way, the fox was not naughty, he gave him what to eat, and gradually became energetic. Shu'er suddenly remembered that she was actually the fifth on the beauty list, but she couldn't compare with the top of the beauty list, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Young Master Zhuge not only has a jade tree and strong martial arts, but also knows how to use medical skills and bring the dead back to life." The top of the beauty list really deserves its name. In comparison, I don't seem to know anything. People and people, don't compare with each other. ”
Zhuge said calmly: "Boss Yan is too humble. Boss Yan started from scratch, less than a year to sell Biliang cosmetics all over the boudoir in Fanjing, business talent, better than me several times, in the future must be a big business, on the business list, just around the corner. ”
Shu'er listened very usefully, pursed her lips and smiled, her dimples were shallowly hooked at the corners of her mouth, and her appearance was sweet and lovely. Zhuge calmly looked at the fair-skinned and handsome side face of the young man beside him, and couldn't help but feel an emotion that he had never felt before, smoky and fluttering, feeling how could there be such a "Boss Yan" in the world. Zhuge calmly suddenly asked without words: "It is rumored that Boss Yan is a talented man with broken sleeves, but those people are jealous of your handsome appearance and business talent, so this rumor is spread?" ”
Shu'er was stunned by the sudden question, but after thinking about it, she must have dressed up inappropriately, so she simply gritted her teeth, covered her face and smiled: "Young Master Zhuge said that he was joking, the so-called rumors, I'm afraid they are not groundless." ”
Zhuge was also stunned by Boss Yan's sudden charming posture. He had never seen a man in the world who could be so frank and provocative, one moment he could stick a sword cast by Meng Lin into a fish, and the next he could wrap an injured fox in an expensive fox fur. In the face of rude questions, he can answer them so unabashedly. Zhuge calmly appreciated his openness, and jokingly said: "No wonder Boss Yan is so suave and suave, and he is deeply favored by the beauties of all households in Fanjing, and even I, the top of the beauty list, can't help but revere it." ”
Shu'er rode a donkey and shook in front, dressed in men's clothes, but deliberately looked back and smiled, and said with a smile: "Thank you Young Master Zhuge for your praise." ”
Zhuge calmly stroked the fox in his arms and looked at the young man with broken sleeves in front of him with a smile. For a moment, he suddenly felt that if the boy was not a broken sleeve, but a woman, the mountains and rivers they walked together might be even more intriguing, although it was already very interesting at this time.
Zhuge Retreat asked: "Boss Yan is alone, and he is going to Shu Kingdom, but what is the important errand?" ”
Shu'er said: "Don't hide it from Young Master Zhuge , your Zhuge family has a deep foundation, and you will definitely not steal this business from me, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." I went to find the Biliang Chrysanthemum Workshop on the shore of Biliang Lake in Xiling, Shu Kingdom, and wanted to sign a contract with them to directly supply Biliang Ningxiang to our Biliang Cosmetics Shop, and no longer handle other business trips. If this trip goes well, I will have to find a way to get the Shu royal family to retract the restrictions on the sale of Biliang Ningxiang to other countries. Young Master Zhuge is going to Shu Kingdom, what is the reason for this? ”
