Chapter 54: Old and Strong

"Your master, I'm not stupid, I won't do such a thankless job." Xia Jing glanced at her.

The entire royal family, not to mention the livelihood of Lingnan in the future, is currently enough to maintain the entire team on the road.

No one appreciates her for doing this kind of thing, and if everyone can't eat, then everyone will definitely blame her.

Hongmei: "Don't say it, if you don't take care of this matter, the next headache will be the third master." ”

After her reminder, Xia Jing remembered the people in the third room, "Hey, why hasn't Aunt Sun seen her stumbling around these days?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but the slave guesses that she should have been injured by the prince's words that night, and she has been secretly healing herself these days."

Xia Jing held her head boredly, her eyes fell on the window, and outside the window was full of guards on horseback escorting them, and she couldn't see the scenery.

Not to mention, Jingzhou's two hundred cavalry is really a mascot, with the function of exorcism and evil spirits, since they joined the team, the team has not encountered any accidents in the next journey.

Isn't it strange, you say?

"In the past few days, is there anything new in the team that the concubine doesn't know?"

Bai Mei raised her head, "The fourth master has a new concubine, does this count?" ”

Xia Jing nodded, and asked with a smile: "There are no beautiful women all the way, and the women who can make the fourth child flee without forgetting to enter the house, you won't talk about the owner of the Qingbu carriage, right?" ”

The last time I heard them talk about the green cloth carriage, they mentioned it now, but it reminded her that there was such a person in the team.

"Well, that's her. This matter is not new, but after the fourth lady knew about it, she had an awkward relationship with the fourth master for a while. ”

Hongmei glanced at Xia Jing, and then said: "However, women can't beat men after all, in order not to fall out of favor and for the sake of children, it is women who compromise in the end." ”

Xia Jing raised her eyes and glanced at the little girl, and sneered, "You little girl, why do you so many old mothers?" Beware of your middle-aged bald head. ”

Her meaningful words really made Xia Jing cry and laugh.

Hongmei covered the top of her head with her hands and said angrily: "Princess, you are so bad, you will scare the slaves and maids." ”

When they arrived in Runan, King Qian and his entourage were warmly received by the Runan County Order.

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and King Qian drank too much that night.

Well, when there is power and money, beauty seems to become an indispensable item.

It seems to confirm that only by standing on three legs can men stand taller, farther and even more stable.

King Qian was also unconventional, and when he was drunk that night, he accepted a great beauty sent by the county order.

"This beauty is not only good at singing and dancing, but also knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I heard that she is also a distant niece of the county order."

Bai Mei told Xia Jing, who had just gotten up, the news she had inquired about, and her tone was inevitably mixed with dissatisfaction with King Qian.

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "King Qian should be strong and strong, he is a lot older, and he can still be a beautiful woman when he is drunk, it's true. You can’t judge a book by its cover! ”

Hongmei coiled up the last strand of hair and looked at her seriously, "Princess, aren't you angry?" ”

Xia Jing looked at her through the bronze mirror in front of her, "Why is this concubine angry?" Anger makes people get old, and it is better to be kind to yourself when you have that free time. ”

"Then why are you frowning?" The two maids obviously didn't believe it and vowed to find out to the end.

Xia Jing put the golden hairpin on her head and sighed, "Concubine Ben is really not angry, but I'm worried that the ideal retirement life is getting farther and farther away from Concubine Ben!" ”

It's all uneasy stuff!

Don't produce, just want to enjoy, it's strange that the Yu Dynasty is not dead!

Xia Jing finished washing up and had just put breakfast on the table, when Li Chengmu, who hadn't seen him for a few days, walked in.

"Mother, my son came to dine with you."

Xia Jing motioned for him to sit next to her, "Have you finished today's training?" ”

"With the supervision of my mother, I don't dare to slack off for a day." Li Chengmu sat down and shook his half-dried hair.

After returning to the courtyard after training, he listened to the maid talk about his father's absurd things, and he rushed over after washing, for fear that his mother would be sad to hear it.

Having his son with him for breakfast at least distracted her.

The etiquette at the table in the palace is silent, but Xia Jing can sometimes eat alone, and she will say a word or two when there is a son at the table.

Li Chengmu has gotten along with mother and son a lot during this time, and he sometimes answers a sentence or two.

Today, he came over to comfort Xia Jing on purpose, so he had nothing to say.

He asked, "Mother, what are the arrangements for a while?" ”

Xia Jing smiled and replied with two words, "Go to the street." ”

Li Chengmu responded positively, "I happen to be fine today, and I will accompany you later." ”

Xia Jing wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes flashed, and the smile on her face deepened, "Okay, let's go shopping together." ”

After finishing the meal, the mother and son were escorted by the guards and happily went out shopping.

And Aunt Sun, who had been waiting to see Xia Jing's reaction and wait for her to make a noise, was so angry that she dropped a set of exquisite tea sets after hearing Xia Jing go out.

"Slut, pretend, old lady see when you can pretend? One day I will make you unable to pretend, if you want a good reputation of virtue and virtue, you are also worthy! ”

Aunt Sun vented, and the anger in her heart dissipated a lot, before she sat down and continued to ask the maid, "Do you see her expression clearly?" Is she really going out of the door? ”

The maid raised her head and glanced at Aunt Sun's hideous face, and quickly lowered her head, "Yes, at least on the surface, I can't see that there is a haze in my heart." ”

Aunt Sun couldn't help but scold again: "Slut! ”

Calm down for a while.

She asked again, "What is the situation on the prince's side?" ”

The maid's head hung lower, and she replied tremblingly, "The prince has not gotten up yet, and there has been no movement in the courtyard where he lives at this hour. ”

When Aunt Sun heard this, she was so jealous that she couldn't rush into the room and beat up the pair of scumbags and.

But her status does not allow her to be unscrupulous and reckless in front of the prince.

I was angry again, and I could only endure this breath.

The streets of Runan City are spacious and smooth, antique, and the only drawback is that it is not popular enough.

The prefectural order took some measures at the beginning of the drought, ordering the city gate to be closed before the arrival of the displaced people, and only the south gate was opened for a short time every day.

In addition, there are many water systems in Runan, and the drought is not too serious.

The lives of the people in the city have not been greatly affected.

Xia Jing walked on the antique street and saw the large and small shops that were in normal business, each selling their own special goods, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"In this Runan City, I really can't see the seriousness of the disaster."

Leading the way in front was the steward of the county commander's family, who listened to Xia Jing's words and explained with a smile: "The disaster in the north is serious, and our Runan has also been affected, but everyone at least has water to drink." The reason why the shops in the city were still open for business was that the trade routes from Runan to the south were not affected much, and the caravans of various merchants were able to transport goods in as normal. ”

Several people listened and nodded.

Li Chengmu looked left and right, "Mother, what do you want to add?" ”

Xia Jing looked around, but she didn't see a single pharmacy, "All the way over, why didn't you see a pharmacy?" ”
