After playing for a long time, Huayan slowly returned to the house. She came to Ruya Pavilion and carefully instructed her mother to take the medicine she grabbed from Xiaohaizi Pharmacy. Self-bathing flower stream rest.

She came to the courtyard and leaned against the railing, looking at the flowers on the ground. "Tomorrow they will set off, and my father is also involved, I don't know how dangerous it will be in Peicheng, and how boring it will be to leave me alone at home." She wondered how to get her father to agree to her visit, so that she could help the displaced people and take care of her father's safety. "Dad is not as conservative as my mother, this is a good deed for the people, I think my father will agree with my idea." Thinking of this, Hua Yan turned around and asked Xin Qiao, who was doing needlework on the side, "Is Dad back?" ”

"The master has come back from the next court, in the study." Xin Qiao replied.

Before Xinqiao could finish speaking, she pulled out her legs and walked to the study. The study was quiet, only the swallows outside the corridor were singing happily.

Huayan walked into the study lightly, and saw that his father was still sitting at the desk and looking intently at the ancient history in his hand. "Dad, I heard that you are going to Peicheng tomorrow?"

Hua Xia Shan raised his head in surprise, glanced at Hua Yan, and then moved his gaze back to the book. "You know it all."

Hua Yan poked her head to the side of the desk and said with a smile: "Dad, can I help you?" ”

"You mean, go to Peicheng?" Draw Xia Shan put down the book in his hand and asked.

Huayan nodded, patted his chest and said, "Dad, it's still dangerous to go to Peicheng to trek through mountains and rivers." I am Qin Zhengfeng's closed disciple, and with me here, I can protect my father. ”

Painting Xia Shan only became a playful character again, and then read the book, "To guard, for my father's handful." ”

Seeing that his father didn't say yes or no, he felt that he had a good chance, and then said: "Dad, don't you often say that those who are in high positions should seek benefits for the people. I'm going, wouldn't it be good to do more? Otherwise, what's the use of being an idler? I'm just a little girl, and I'll follow behind, and no one will notice anything wrong. ”

After painting Xia Shan listened, he felt a little relieved, he thought about it silently, and finally agreed. He smiled and said: "Yan'er is very happy to understand this truth at a young age. It doesn't hurt to go out for a walk, it's to increase your knowledge. People are most afraid of idleness, what about women, those who have strong bones are also husbands. ”

Huayan clapped his hands again and again, "Dad's philosophical remarks will shame the old learning of those scholars and doctors." ”

"Yan'er, don't talk nonsense." Hua Xia Shan pretended to be angry and glared at Hua Yan, and then went to read the book.

"Yan'er doesn't disturb her father to read, see you tomorrow!" After painting Yan, he happily returned to Yuhuajian to prepare.

Early the next morning, Huayan changed into a girl's simple dress, and got into the carriage with his father, accompanied by his subordinate Boyan, who had been accompanying him. Bo Yan is more than forty years old, which is equivalent to the secretary of Painting Xia Shan, who handles daily chores for Painting Xia Shan, and follows him from Jiangling when he is on the side.

Although Mrs. Hua was unwilling, she didn't dare to go against Xia Shan's decision, and only instructed behind Hua Yan. Xin Qiao and Sheng Lan were secretly sulking, but Miss Strange didn't take them with her.

The carriage started and drove out of the city gate, humming happily like a loose bird, and occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside the car.

After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped. Puzzled, he asked the coachman, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Bo Yan replied: "Miss, we have discussed with the prince, gathered here, and set off together." ”

"I see." The painter sat back in his original position. Then he said to Boyan: "In the future, when you are outside, you can no longer call me Miss." ”

Bo Yan looked at the painting Xia Shan in amazement, "Don't you call Miss?" What should the little one call Miss? ”

"Hmm...... Just call me a girl. Hua Yan said casually.

Bo Yan nodded tremblingly, but he couldn't speak.

After a while, the coachman lifted the curtain and said, "My lord, the prince is here." ”

Hua Xiashan and the others hurriedly got out of the car and respectfully saluted Liu Che'er, who came on horseback, "Weichen has seen the prince." ”

Liu Che'er got off the horse and helped up the painting of Xia Shan, "You don't have to be polite to paint adults, now you are outside, everything is simple." Liu Che'er introduced Xiao Minglang behind him to Hua Xiashan, "Let me introduce to the painter, this is Xiao Minglang, my friend, and he will also go with us." ”

When he heard that it was Xiao Minglang, he immediately saluted, "I have heard the name of Xiao Gongzi for a long time." ”

Xiao Minglang returned the salute, "I've seen the painting adult." Xiao wanted to visit the painter for a long time, and now that he is destined to go with him, Xiao finally has the opportunity to ask the painter for advice or two. ”

"Xiao Gongzi's talent is unicorn, how dare he call it big. Everybody, please. After painting Xia Shan, he said goodbye to Liu Che'er and the others for a short time, and turned back to the carriage. Painting is a close second.

"Yan'er? Why are you here" Liu Che'er was about to turn around and get on the horse, when he accidentally found the painting Yan who was following behind Hua Xia Shan.

Seeing that he couldn't escape Liu Che'er's eyes, Hua Yan simply turned around and waved his hand to greet him. "Yo, the prince is also here. I followed my father out for a walk. ”

Liu Che'er got off the horse and came to Huayan, seeing that Huayan was dressed as a girl, and saw that her face was as white as snow, without any black spots before, Liu Che'er was dazzled for a while, and she stammered when she spoke, "Yan'er...... Are you cured? ......”

The painting face didn't know what it meant, "Sick? What are you talking about? ”

Liu Che'er pointed to his face and lowered his head shyly, "Your face has changed...... It's pretty......"

Only then did Hua Yan understand. She didn't wear ugly makeup on this trip, those tricks were just to deal with those eye scouts in the palace, and now that she is dressed as a girl, no one will pay attention. She said casually: "It turns out that you said this, yes, I visited a famous doctor before, and it would be fine." After speaking, he was about to turn around and get into the car, Xiao Minglang coughed a few times, looked back, and saw that he wanted to laugh and tried his best to hold back, so he walked next to him and whispered, "Be careful, don't laugh too much." Then he got into the carriage.

It will take two days to travel from the capital to Peicheng at their speed. In a short time the carriage left the city and was on the trade route. Seeing that there were few people on the road, he sat next to the coachman and learned to drive a horse.

Liu Che'er rode a horse to the side, and he smiled and said, "Yan'er, do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Hua Yan turned his head and replied, "Of course." ”

"Then let's ride a horse, I have one here, it must be boring to sit in the carriage." Liu Che'er asked.

Huayan turned around to ask his father for what he meant, and when he saw that Huaxia Shan agreed, he said happily: "Okay, I'm here!" ”

The coachman stopped the carriage, and Huayan jumped down easily, quickly changing into the horse led by Liu Che'er.

Xiao Minglang followed from behind and said, "I think it's better for Miss Hua to sit in the carriage." It's windy outside. ”

Huayan suddenly remembered his chills, got off the horse again, and said apologetically to Liu Che'er: "Thank you Lord Wang, but I think I still won't ride." Huayan walked in the direction of the carriage, and when he passed by Xiao Minglang's side, he suddenly reached out and slapped Xiao Minglang's horse hard, the horse raised his head and neighed, and immediately raised his legs and ran forward, which caught Xiao Minglang off guard.

Huayan covered his stomach and said with a smile: "If you don't let me ride, then you can ride for me!" ......”

Liu Che'er looked at Huayan's actions in astonishment and couldn't stop laughing.

Hua Xia Shan poked his head out of the car and whispered to Hua Yan: "Don't get on the horse yet." ”

Hua Yan immediately suppressed his laughter, lowered his head and silently got into the carriage. So after a short break, the crowd was back on their way.

By the time we climbed the mountain, it was already dark. After discussion, they decided to rest for the night at a small tea shop in front of them and leave tomorrow.

Hua Yan jumped off the carriage easily, stretched, and hurriedly rushed to the side of the carriage to support his father, "Master, slow down." ”

The eight or nine people, led by Liu Che'er, walked into the tea shop one after another.

The owner of the tea shop, a bowed old man in his fifties and sixties, took a rag and carefully wiped the table, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to eat in this small shop?" ”

Huayan was already hungry, and she hurriedly said, "Come up with everything you can in the store!" ”

The old man smiled and said, "The small shop only has vegetable buns." ”

"And you're asking us what we eat?! Whatever it is, let's go first. Huayan poured tea and drank it in a big gulp to satisfy his hunger.

"Yan'er, don't be rude." Painting Xia Shan humbly saluted the old man slightly, "The old master is not strange, she is just a little anxious." ”

The old man waved his hand again and again and said, "Nothing is wrong." ”

"Shopkeeper, open a few more rooms for us." Liu Che'er sat down and said.

The old man changed his kind appearance and said solemnly: "No! Meals are OK, but accommodation is not! ”

Why is that? Rest assured, we are not bad people and we will not owe money. Liu Che'er said gently.

"Hey, it's not that I won't let you live, it's that there are ...... here," the old man stopped talking.

Xiao Minglang put down the teacup and asked, "What's here?" ”

The old man glanced around, leaned closer and whispered, "There are robbers here at night, so you better get out of here quickly." My daughter and I are going to run away from here in a few days. ”

Seeing the old man's words, Hua Yan couldn't stop it, and secretly ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Robbers? This place is close to Cangwu County, and it is the place where Liu Qinglian is governed, how can there be robbers? Xiao Minglang asked.

The old man said as he sat down against the table, and said with tears in his eyes, "The guest officer doesn't know anything, the robber...... Simply do whatever you want, no matter day or night, you dare to break into people's houses. Now the boss has taken a fancy to my daughter, and wants to rob her to be a robber's wife...... When the grass people went to the county government to report to the official, they couldn't see the county master. ”

When Liu Che'er heard this, he threw the teacup angrily, "What a good Liu Qinglian, he doesn't seek his job in his position, see how I clean him up!" ”

When the old man heard this, he realized that these people in front of him had a big background, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for help, "Adults, please save our father and daughter." My daughter is fifteen years old, and she must not let the robbers ruin her future! ”

Xiao Minglang helped the old man up, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we will never sit idly by." ”

At this time, Hua Yan brought a bowl of steamed buns from the kitchen and sat down, and asked while eating, "Do you know where the robber came from?" ”

The old man cupped his forehead, thought for a moment and said, "I remember, his subordinates all call him Master of the Golden Hall." ”

"What?!" When Hua Yan heard this, all the buns in his mouth squirted out.
