When they arrived at the place where they were to be separated, Zheng Siniang said goodbye to the three of them: "After this road, it will not be my territory, and it is not of much use for me to protect you, take care!" ”

Song Beibei also raised his hand and said, "Take care." ”

After the three of them saw Zheng Siniang and his party leave, they continued to hurry, but Zheng Siniang sent them a carriage and a coachman, so this time the journey was much easier than before.

The three of them were all sitting in the carriage, calm at first, but after walking for a while, Song Beibei suddenly began to feel uncomfortable.

The mountain road was rough, and the carriage cushion was not soft, and the stumbling made her stomach very uncomfortable.

Shen Zhao and Yin Youtang both noticed that her face was pale, and Shen Zhao was thinking about how to solve it, but obviously Yin Youtang's child was more expressive, and hurriedly asked, "Beibei, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Song Beibei smiled at him with difficulty, uncomfortably unwilling to speak.

Shen Zhao glanced at Yin Youtang, thinking of what Yin Youtang and Song Beibei said at the bottom of the inn last night, so he deliberately asked, "Why don't you call your sister again?" ”

Yin Youtang glanced at him, and there were three big words written on his face: Do you want to care?

However, Song Beibei also thought of what he said last night, so he followed Shen Zhao's words and said, "Yes, why don't you call me sister." ”

"......" Yin Youtang comforted himself in his heart, what about calling his sister, she is not a kiss.

And if he asked his sister to make her feel better, he would definitely be willing.

So he obediently called sweetly: "Sister, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Song Beibei didn't want to cause trouble to the two of them and interrupt the progress of the journey, so he shook his head and said, "I'm okay." ”

Actually, it's really not good, this carriage is hard and swaying, it's better to get down and walk a few steps......

Yin Youtang was just worried and anxious, but he didn't prepare anything, and he didn't know what to do now.

But Shen Zhao knew that the little girl was pampered, so he prepared some things for her in advance, although it was not suitable for her, but she could only try it in this wilderness.

He took out the small bag that Song Beibei often carried from behind him and handed it to Song Beibei: "There are sour plums in it, you eat a few first, if it is still not good, let's stop and walk, and wait for this rugged road before taking the carriage." ”

Song Beibei looked at the thing in his hand in surprise: "There are sour plums!" Thank you. ”

Yin Youtang watched Shen Zhao grit his teeth from the side, and his face was full of words: Look at your flattering appearance!

But Shen Zhao just looked at him and smiled, and his eyes also said: You used to be more flattering than me.

was taken advantage of by Yin Youtang once before, how could Shen Zhao not have a long memory?

If you can't play tricks with this kid, you'll really live in vain.

After Song Beibei ate the sour plum, the feeling of tumbling in his stomach was really suppressed, but he felt a little tired, so he leaned on the body and fell asleep.

Shen Zhao watched with gentle eyes as she slowly leaned over to his shoulder.

Yin Youtang also found out, and reached out to help Song Beibei to his side, but suddenly noticed Shen Zhao's cold gaze.

He looked up at Shen Zhao, Shen Zhao glanced at Song Beibei, and then at him, raised his eyebrows, raised his fingers and said "shhh".

Yin Youtang understood what he wanted to say, if he moved around and woke up Song Beibei, it would not be good.

So he had to grit his teeth and hold back, and let her sleep on Shen Zhao's shoulder.

He took off his coat and gently covered it on Song Beibei's shoulders.

……

When the carriage traveled in the evening, and seeing that it was getting dark, the coachman suggested that he settle down in a nearby village, and the three of them went to that village.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I heard gongs and drums beating in the village.

Song Beibei was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums, rubbed his eyes and sat up, opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that he had arrived in a village that did not seem to be wealthy.

It is full of low-rise thatched houses, and there are not even a few tiled houses, and it looks like a particularly isolated and poor place.

This is nothing, there are many such villages in Dayong, but it's almost night, and the gongs and drums are beating, which is a bit weird.

Song Beibei asked curiously: "Why is this village so lively?" ”

Shen Zhao shook his head: "I don't know, let's find a place to settle down first, and then go down and have a look." ”

"Okay."

The coachman looked for a long time, only to find an inn, this inn is also very small and old, the coachman came down and asked only to know that it is the only inn in the village, and the three of them did not have to choose, so they lived in.

Yin Youtang packed his luggage in the back and helped the coachman to tie the horse together.

Although Shen Zhao didn't help, he kept an eye on him.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that my younger brother is very good, although he seems to have a bad temper, but he is so attentive to the coachman, and he will be a benevolent monarch who loves the country and the people when he becomes the emperor in the future.

As soon as Song Beibei got out of the car, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the innkeeper: "Boss, are there any happy events in your village?" Why are there still gongs and drums beating and lanterns outside at this time? ”

The proprietress said happily: "There have always been no promising people in our village, not to mention the imperial examination, there are few literate people in our village." Now there is finally a person who has come out to get ahead! ”

Song Beibei thought about it carefully, and this year was the time for the big exam, so he asked: "Is there a champion?" ”

The proprietress shook her head: "No! Out of a quasi-concubine! ”

"Quasi-concubine?" Song Beibei now hears the word concubine, and his heart is furious, and he doesn't understand what a quasi-concubine is.

The proprietress regarded this incident as the pride of the village, and explained ostentatiously: "A father-in-law came this morning, saying that he was going to find a woman who looked similar to Concubine Song, and if there was a place that was similar, he would give ten taels of silver and take him to the palace to be a concubine!" Later, he saw my second uncle's sister's cousin's niece, and the father-in-law's eyes were worth it at once, because he said that my cousin and niece looked exactly like the concubine in the palace! When I go to the palace, I must be a concubine! ”

Song Beibei raised his head and glanced at Shen Zhao, but he didn't expect Liu Xu to arrive before them.

Fortunately, I usually wear men's clothes, otherwise it would be over if I was seen.

As soon as Song Beibei thought so, the proprietress looked at her curiously and said, "Little brother, take a closer look, you also look the same as my distant cousin niece!" ”

Song Beibei hurriedly explained: "I can't be the emperor's concubine, I'm a man." ”

The proprietress didn't suspect anything, and asked again: "Do the three sons plus the coachman outside only need two rooms?" My house is very large, and I think it's no problem for two people to live in a room! ”

Shen Zhao lowered his eyes and smiled, and almost couldn't help but applaud the proprietress for it, this is too good.

Shen Zhao glanced at Song Beibei and answered: "Okay, it just so happens that we don't have much money on us, two rooms are fine." ”

Song Beibei raised his arm and bumped into him, glaring at him: "It's okay to open two rooms, you can live together, and I will live alone." ”

"......" Shen Zhao was silent for a moment, "Forget it, let's still have four rooms." ”
