Private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

The people of the Xia family are here.

Xia Hu stood by the window, looked at the carriage that had just passed, and turned around and asked, "Are we really not going to send off the second aunt?" ”

Father Xia sat at the table drinking tea, listened to his grandson's words, and put down the teacup: "If the situation is too complicated today, we won't cause trouble for your second aunt, we have been in Lingnan for so long, we have always been low-key, since this is the case, there should be a beginning and an end." ”

Xia Hu shook his fan and shook his head: "Our family is low-key, just relatively ordinary people, in front of power, our family is transparent in front of them, and none of the powerful people know the relationship between us and our second aunt." ”

Xia Qingshan glanced at his third son, and scolded with a smile: "Don't say what you have here, you say so much just to follow your second aunt to Jiankang!" ”

Xia Hu smiled: "Daddy still understands me." ”

"It's useless to understand, if you can't go, you can't go!" Xia Qingshan didn't eat this meal, and it was useless to smile in front of him, "Jiankang's situation is very chaotic now, if you go, you will only be used and cause trouble for your second aunt!" ”

Xia Hu smiled, turned around and leaned on the window again, his depressed expression made people want to laugh.

Xia Di, who was standing next to him and had been paying attention to the window, asked curiously: "Third brother wants to go to Jiankang so much, is Jiankang fun?" ”

Xia Hu knocked him on the head with a fan, "Just know how to play!" ”

He didn't know if Jiankang was fun, but he knew that Jiankang's money would definitely be easy to make!

Chen sighed, his face full of worry, "Erxing's mother is worried, and I don't know what situation Jing'er is facing when she arrives in Jiankang?" ”

Xia Qingshan comforted: "My little sister has had a good idea since she was a child, and people can do it, as long as the prince is on her side, no difficulty will be difficult for her!" ”

Chen Shi glanced at his heartless son, "No difficulties can be difficult for her, but she is tired of living like this, she has to worry about everything, she will be tired!" ”

Otherwise, how could there be the word emaciated?

Everyone doesn't know how to take this, their family is just a small rich family, even if it is exaggerated, it can only be regarded as a big rich.

Wangfu, now it should be said that they can't interfere in the affairs of the royal family, and they really can't help Xia Jing, and they are powerless.

All they can do is try not to mess with her, not to hold her back.

The adults spoke, but the younger generation couldn't interject, and Li Yingzi leaned against the window and looked at the long line outside in a daze.

At this moment, a figure outside the window caught his attention.

"Grandma, grandpa, I'll go out for a while."

"What are you doing out there, there are too many people outside!" Chan strongly disapproved of the little girl joining in the fun.

Li Yingzi had already rushed to the door of the private room, "When I saw a friend, I went out to say hello and came back immediately." ”

The Xia family looked at the door that disappeared with the maid, smiled and shook their heads.

"Tong Gongzi, is it so coincidental?"

Tong Song heard the voice behind him, turned around, a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen it?

"You are?"

Li Yingzi blushed slightly, this is embarrassing, it turns out that people don't remember her at all.

At this time, the maid who followed behind her spoke up to save the scene for the master, "My girl is a girl from the Li family, and I went out with the girl from the palace to see the son last time." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Li, please forgive me for being clumsy." Tong Song apologized out of politeness.

Li Yingzi waved her hand and wanted to say that it didn't matter.

At this time, Lian Gui ran over, "Young Master, the ritual has been handed over to the housekeeper of the palace." ”

Li Yingzi glanced at Lian Gui unexpectedly, "Are you here to see you off?" ”

Although Lian Gui didn't know what the relationship between this girl and his young master was, when he saw her ask, he nodded politely: "Yes, the princess left today, and many families in Lingnan came to see her off, and I don't know how long the queue was for the ceremony, I estimate that it will take a lot of time for the palace convoy to leave the city." ”

When the convoy leaves the city, and then meets the soldiers and horses that the princess wants to bring to Jiankang outside the city, the time may be about the same in one day.

The first day was certainly not much of a journey.

Li Yingzi smacked her tongue, right or good, the princess and aunt don't know how many gifts to receive this day?

Tong Song glanced at Li Yingzi, who was stunned, and said to Lian Gui: "Let's go, the others are still waiting." ”

"Tong Gongzi booked a private room here?" Li Yingzi saw people walking in and hurriedly followed.

"Yes, with a friend."

"Oh, do I know Tong Gongzi's friends?" Li Yingzi followed her upstairs.

Lian Gui glanced back at her in surprise, it was another girl who wanted to get close to his son-in-law.

He sighed twice in his heart, the skin of the eldest young master is very attractive to girls, and he doesn't know how many girls have come and gone.

Tong Song didn't look back and said, "The girl may not know." ”

Don't be too obvious about the rejection.

went up to the second floor, Li Yingzi saw him stop at the door of a private room, so he followed again, "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, Tong Gongzi will introduce you and get to know each other, everyone lives in Lingnan, many friends and many roads." ”

Tong Song listened to her shameless words, and finally looked at her squarely, and smiled meaningfully: "What the girl said is reasonable." ”

The door of the private room opened, and there were already quite a few people inside.

"Tong Song is here!" Young Master Chen was the first to notice him coming in, got up to greet him, and finally his eyes fell on Li Yingzi behind Tong Song, "This is"

Tong Song briefly introduced: "Li Mansion girl." ”

Young Master Chen glanced at Tong Song unexpectedly, and then at Li Yingzi, this was the first time he had brought a girl to their party.

"Miss Li, come and sit!"

"Thank you, Gongzi Chen."

"Hehe, you're welcome, don't see outside, drink tea."

Niu Yongcheng, who had been sitting by the window and did not move, said: "Young Master Tong, you are late today!" ”

Tong Song sat down, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "No way, there are too many people to send the princess to the ceremony." ”

The corners of Niu Yongcheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Just let your housekeeper do this kind of thing, why don't you go yourself?" Even if you go, you won't be able to see the princess, and the palace housekeeper will meet you in person, even if it is a big face. ”

Tong Song didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and introduced to Li Yingzi: "This is the second son of Lord Niu's family, the chief soldier of the Lingnan Jieyang Guard, Niu Yongcheng, you can call him Erniu." ”

Niu Yongcheng immediately glared when he heard this title, "What are you talking about?" Niu Er Gongzi! ”

Li Yingzi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother Erniu, I will call you Brother Erniu in the future, there is a Brother Erniu next door to our house, but it's a pity that he is a second fool!" ”

Niu Yongcheng: "."

"Haha."

Young Master Chen couldn't help laughing: "I think this is a good title, Brother Erniu!" ”

Tong Song couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Brother Erniu, take care of me in the future." ”

Mu Guangzhen, who was sitting next to Niu Yongcheng, saw him with a black face, glanced at Li Yingzi, and said in a weird manner: "What does Brother Er Niu mean by being so affectionate?" Shameless! ”

“.” The laughter of the crowd came to an abrupt end.

Li Yingzi looked at Tong Song suspiciously, "Who is this?" ”

"Brother Erniu's concubine!"

The person was brought by him, Mu Guangzhen didn't give him face, Tong Song naturally didn't care about her face, and directly pierced her lowly identity.

"It's a concubine!" Li Yingzi deliberately lengthened the tail note, looked at Mu Guangzhen, and said with a puzzled expression: "I heard that concubines like to climb the bed and seduce people, I don't know if Brother Erniu's concubine climbs the bed by herself, or is it because Brother Erniu likes it?" ”

Hearing this, Niu Yongcheng remembered that he had slept with Mu Guangzhen for some reason, and he lost face in front of the prince, and his face, which was not white, was even darker.

Everyone else pursed their lips, this kind of thing is really hard to talk about.

Li Yingzi naturally took everyone's looks into her eyes, and said with an innocent smile: "Since you are all crawlers, why do you scold me for being shameless?" ”

After that, she didn't forget to take eye medicine: "Brother Erniu, your concubine is too arrogant, be careful to cause trouble for you outside!" ”

"You" Mu Guangzhen's lungs almost exploded, whose girl has a grudge against her, right?

"That's it!" Niu Yongcheng glared at her and warned: "If you want to come out and play, settle down!" ”

Mu Guangzhen immediately shut up, feeling both aggrieved and angry, and did not forget to glare at Li Yingzi angrily.

Li Yingzi smiled proudly, it's useless to stare at me again, and you can't kill me!

Niu Yongcheng said to Tong Song without arguing his anger: "The girl you brought has sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”

Li Yingzi was not scared of him at all, "Brother Erniu praises falsely, my aunt said that the bird accompanies the Luan and the phoenix fly far, and the people accompany the virtuous and virtuous self-esteem; Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black; Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. People with a straightforward personality like me must have made friends with the same personality as me. ”

Saying that, he also stood up and patted Niu Yongcheng on the shoulder, "Brother Er Niu speaks straightforwardly, I like it, I have made a friend of yours!" ”

Niu Yong was angry, and he was praised by her like this, and he didn't dare to be angry, if he was angry, it didn't mean that his character was not good.

This scene fell in Tong Song's eyes, his eyes flashed, is this girl really naïve or pretending to be naïve?

Niu Yongcheng finally laughed angrily: "The aunt in your mouth won't be the female gentleman next door to your house, right?" ”

Li Yingzi recalled that Xia Jing taught many people crafts, such as steelmaking, burning cement, glassmaking, etc., and she was really a gentleman.

"Hmmm! Brother Erniu is so smart, you guessed it! ”

Niu Yongcheng: "."

When I go back, let people find out whose family this girl is, she is eccentric, and she really has the ability to infringe people!

The Xia family and the Li family did not deliberately hide their identities, nor did they deal with the world in a high-profile manner.

As long as someone has a heart to check, a little snack can find out their relationship with the palace.

That night, Niu Yongcheng read the news and found out the news, he really couldn't cry or laugh, this princess's relatives are really "different"! ——

In Lingnan, there is already a new green, and after the Nanling Mountains, the trees on the roadside in Jingzhou have just grown new leaves.

In the farmland passing by, farmers are bending over and planting seedlings.

The warm spring breeze blows and you can smell the muddy smell of the earth.

Naturally, their large contingent also attracted the attention of the people.

The Guiyang County Guard led dozens of officials up and down the Yamen and went out of the city thirty miles to greet them.

"Ouyang Chuansheng, the county guard of Guiyang, pays a visit to the princess!"

Strictly speaking, Xia Jing is the concubine of King Qian, and now that King Qian has become the emperor, it is not an exaggeration for them to call Xia Jing the queen.

It's just that King Qian hasn't canonized her as the queen yet, let alone announced it to the world, so they can only call her the princess according to the previous honorific title.

Xia Jing lifted the curtain and glanced at the kneeling people outside, "Lord Ouyang, get up, lead the way ahead." ”

Ouyang Chuansheng stood up after thanking him, cautiously glanced at the carriage, and saw that the carriage was tightly blocked, so he turned around and got on the horse with all the officials, and walked in front to lead the way.

Guiyang County is located in the south of Jingzhou and north of Nanling, because there is Nanling to block the monsoon of the South China Sea, so Guiyang County has four distinct seasons and rich products.

Due to the high terrain of Guiyang County, several rivers flow north through Changsha County.

In fact, it is more convenient to go north by boat, but the river volume is slightly smaller, and it can only be carried by a small boat of dozens of people.

Xia Jing brought nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, which were only suitable for land.

Entering Guiyang County, because Xia Jing was a female dependent, the county guard arranged the master of the palace and his party in another courtyard.

Xia Jing came from Lingnan over the mountains, and it was very hard along the way, so she fell asleep after eating.

Later, the county keeper's wife handed over the post, and her maid was postponed to the next day.

After breakfast the next day, the county guard's wife handed over the greeting note again, Xia Jing only glanced at it and said, "Hongmei, you go and invite her in." ”

The morning and evening of April were a little cold, and Xia Jing wore a thin jacket.

"We haven't worn a jacket in almost a year, have we?"

Bai Mei smiled and nodded: "The weather is changeable this season, the princess must pay attention to keeping warm, covering the spring and autumn frost, and I would rather wear more in the spring and not be cold, otherwise, it is very easy to get wind chill when the evil wind soaks the body." ”

Xia Jing nodded: "We can prepare some medicinal herbs in Guiyang County, just in case on the road." Did our soldiers and horses settle down outside the city last night? ”

"The county keeper's arrangement is very appropriate, princess, you can rest assured."

While the two were talking, Hongmei led several ladies in.

"The courtiers have seen the princess."

"Get up."

Everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, and Mrs. Bo handed over the basket to Hongmei.

"Now is the best time in spring, all kinds of wild vegetables in the wild are the most tender, this is the courtier's wife picked the rice dumplings and some pastries made by Qingming vegetables, I hope it can meet the taste of the princess."

Xia Jing's habit in the last days, as soon as she heard the food, she wanted to taste it, "Oh, Hongmei go and set the plate and serve it, the mind of Mrs. Bo, I will taste it." ”

There are two or three kinds of pastries, red and green, which are very pleasing to the eye from the outside, and make people have an appetite at the first sight.

Seeing that she was amazed at the color of the pastries, Mrs. Bo explained with a smile: "The green pastries are made of Qingming vegetables dried, ground into flour and mixed with rice flour, and honey is also put in it, which tastes sweet but not greasy, and the red pastries are made from peach blossoms picked from the mountains, you can taste them." ”

"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom; I didn't expect to be able to taste such poetic pastries in Guiyang County, you bothered! ”

After that, Xia Jing pinched a piece and took a bite, "The floral fragrance is light, the entrance is sweet, refreshing and non-sticky, and the taste is good." ”

Several ladies were relieved to see that she liked it.

The princess came to Guiyang County, and they couldn't think of what food to use to entertain her.

These snacks were still thought up by the ingenious Lord Madame Bo.

It's also a loss to the princess who likes it, otherwise they don't know how to treat her at all?

The official lady who lives at the bottom doesn't know what the nobles at the top like at all?

It's so hard for them.

Xia Jing ate another piece of green pastry before rinsing her mouth, "The pastry is delicious, and the shape of the plate is also beautiful." ”

Mrs. County Shou pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess doesn't know, the pastries are from the hands of our lord Mrs. Bo, and the plates for the pastries are from the fired porcelain of our county tile kiln ping. ”

"Oh, there is still a place to burn porcelain in Guiyang County?" Xia Jing was interested.

"Yes, it's been burning for hundreds of years."
