Chapter 37: Bathing and Changing Clothes

Qinzhou City, the gate of the city.

There were many more soldiers at the gates of the city than before, and they were on standby, carefully inspecting every carriage and goods leaving the city.

"Stop, who's in the carriage?" A soldier stopped Yue Heng's carriage and said loudly.

Yue Heng is now dressed as an ordinary person, with a dark face, and a mustache, and smiled honestly: "Hello big brother and soldier, inside is my little sister and little brother, we went to Chang'an to join my aunt, this is the place where the three of us brother and sister passed, please check." ”

The eldest brother of the officer and soldier took the three people's places to examine them carefully, and the other officer and soldier took two portraits and compared them with the people in the carriage one by one.

The eldest brother of the officers and soldiers asked loudly: "Are you from Yizhou?" ”

"Yes, yes, we are from Longli County, Yizhou."

"How many days have you been gone?"

"About ten days." Yue Heng secretly stuffed a large string of copper coins into the hands of the officers and soldiers, and smiled flatteringly.

The eldest brother of the officers and soldiers originally wanted to continue to ask, but he immediately smiled, returned the station to them, and let them pass with a wave of his hand.

Half an hour later.

Kang Tai came to the city gate to inspect and listened to the detailed reports of the officers and soldiers on the carriages and goods that had just passed.

"There is a carriage from Huzhou that goes to Chang'an to join Brother ,......"

"There was a carriage from Yizhou, going to Chang'an to join my aunt, and it took ten days to get here......

Kang Tai suddenly interrupted him: "How many people are from Yizhou?" How long did it take? ”

The officers and men tried to recall: "Around the tenth day, there were three brothers and sisters in the carriage, an elder brother, a younger sister and a younger brother. ”

"Is there mud on the wheels of the carriage?"

The officers and soldiers were a little weak-hearted, pinched their sweat, and said very confidently: "Okay, it seems that there is not, the wheels are very clean." ”

Kang Tai immediately called for someone to take down the officers and soldiers, jumped on his horse, tied the officers and soldiers and galloped towards the city.

Qinzhou City Official Station.

The eldest brother of the officers and soldiers saw the cold-faced prince in front of him with his own eyes, and he knelt on the ground with weak legs in fright, and spoke tremblingly: "Wang, Wangye, the lower official said that there were three people in that carriage, an older Langjun, and a little lady and a little brother. Said that he had walked on the road for ten days to get here. It was, it was about half an hour ago, and it was headed north. The lower official really doesn't know where he went wrong, and he asks the prince to spare his life! ”

Kang Tai said coldly: "On the road from Yizhou to Chongzhou, there have been heavy rains and sudden flash floods, and the mountain roads and roads have been cut off, and the government has been rushing to repair them for five days, so if they really start from Yizhou, they will not be able to get here within ten days." ”

When the eldest brother of the officers and soldiers came to understand, he was very weak-hearted, so he could only keep kowtowing and crying and begging for mercy.

"The three people in the carriage, what's unusual?" Li Yu spoke coldly, with irresistible indifference and majesty in his voice.

The eldest brother of the officers and soldiers wept bitterly, racked his brains, and finally held back a few words: "Yes, yes, the little brother in the carriage is lying down and sleeping soundly. Xia Guan thought that it should be a long way, and it was not surprising that the little brother fell asleep. ”

Li Yu waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers had been dragged out. Rubbing the small medicine bottle left by the little lady to Kangtai, the bottom of the medicine bottle is engraved with three small characters - "Huihetang". From Qinzhou to the north, there is only one destination, the imperial capital Chang'an.

"Prepare your horse and return to Chang'an immediately."

Kangtai got the order and hurried out.

Shen Yining ate and slept along the way, and continued to eat after sleeping, I don't know how many catties I have gained.

Sometimes I walked on a mountain road, stumbling, ups and downs, and I even wanted to vomit the food of the previous day. Sometimes it's a big road, and as long as you show the pass, the carriage can pass smoothly. The person who passed through the layers of checkpoints, and the person behind the man must be a high-powered person.

Four days later, when Shen Yining woke up again, it was finally not in the carriage, but in an elegant and clean room, with bright light shining out of the window, it was a clear and mild day. For several days, she was forced to take soft tendons, her limbs were weak and weak, and her body became weaker and weaker.

Someone walked in with a plate of food. It's not Cen Huan, but it's Yue Heng.

Yue Heng put the meal on the table in front of the bed and sat down calmly.

"Eat." The man's voice sounded coldly.

Shen Yining propped up the edge of the bed, limped to the desk, and sat down heavily. Today I finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with Yue Heng, and I had to seize this opportunity no matter what.

"Nanban, unicorn, on the night of the full moon, life is better than death." Shen Yining stared at him and said these words word by word.

Yue Heng looked up sharply and looked at her in disbelief.

"You, why are you ......?"

Shen Yining's eyes glanced at the back of his neck, and he smiled: "I have a way to solve it." ”

He stared into her eyes, trying to get some truth out of them. Then he got up and left, and when he left, he heard the delicate and sweet voice of the woman behind him again.

"Brother Ah Heng, Ah Ning will wait for you to come back."

Shen Yining looked at his back and smiled proudly, looking smug.

The dishes on today's dinner plate are very exquisite, and the food is much more exquisite.

The sky gradually darkened, the noisy frolicking outside the room became clearer and clearer, people came and went, although separated by a distance, there was still a faint sound of men's laughter, women's sweet and coquettish voices, and lively singing and dancing instruments.

Shen Yining probably knew where he was now, it should be a green house, a brothel or a teaching department.

There was some slight sound outside the room again, the door was opened, Cen Huan came in, and there was a beautiful and plump middle-aged woman, followed by two expressionless old women.

Cen Huan was holding a set of dresses in his hands, carefully dressed up, with the most popular fallen horse bun on his head, a faint scent of goose yellow pear flowers on his body, red lips and white teeth, green willows and red clothes, which was the fashionable dress of a Qinglou woman.

The two old women brought buckets of hot water and kept pouring water into the wooden barrels behind the screen.

Shen Yining was shocked, this is to bathe and change her clothes and let her dress up as a woman in the Qinglou?

The two mothers-in-law supported her, carried her into the tub, and freshened her up with their hands and feet. Later, the two mothers-in-law put on new dresses for her.

Cen Huan and the middle-aged woman stood outside the screen, chatting with their backs to her. Shen Yining turned his heart sideways, held the silver bracelet on his wrist, turned the mechanism, and some white powder fell from his palm, which was wiped on the arms and robes of the two mothers-in-law without a trace.

After a while, there was a beautiful girl like a flower in front of the mirror.

Shen Yining wore a double hanging bun, a goose-yellow blouse and a rhododendron red rhombic skirt, and a blue-green tulle shawl. is not as bright and gorgeous as Cen Huan, it is the delicate dress of the little maid.
