Chapter 11: The Hundred Miles Barrier
When Lan Qiu heard this, the world spun around for a while, and she didn't know what to say, she just felt like a heavy hammer hit on her head, and she was dizzy.
wanted to rely on the identity of the Queen Mother's family to let this group of people get out of the way and let Zhuang Xun go, but thinking that Zhuang Xun's current identity was semi-hidden.
She went back to report this matter to Zhuang Xun with a bitter face, and felt more and more ashamed, Zhuang Xun's experience of Zhao Guo in the past two days, she herself felt that it was not very good.
"Doufu, still use a step barrier?" Zhuang Xun only felt so familiar when he heard it, isn't this Shi Chongwang Kai of the Western Jin Dynasty?
"Do you still use peppercorns to build walls, to see whose corals are bigger?" Zhuang Xun smiled, remembering the joke that the two were richer in history.
"Coral and peppercorns are not precious, what is there to compare?" Lan Qiu was stunned, and asked rhetorically, not understanding the meaning of Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun reacted at this time, after all, it is not his original world, and it is inextricably linked with his own world, but it is not a world after all.
"It's nothing, I thought of some jokes, Zhao Guo's spirit is really lacking, he actually has to show off his wealth to show himself, even if he shows off his wealth, he still occupies public resources, it is really, not a person."
Zhuang Xun said mercilessly, and then thought of his hometown, which was really half a catty and eight taels, and it was hard to say, so after saying this, he shook his head and said: "Let's take a detour, I can't go back, and there is no problem with the guest house." β
"The main thing is that Gongzi you are still nominally on the way to Zhao Guo now, borrowing the name of Madame, and finally finding out Gongzi, you will be embarrassed, otherwise you can use Madame's reputation to let these people get out of the way."
For the first time, Lan Qiu felt that the things explained by his superiors were so difficult, and it was so embarrassing to receive a prince, although Zhuang Xun's temper looked very good, very good, but it was someone else's business to give you face, and you were embarrassed everywhere, so it was your own business.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's right to give way to the big guys, after all, it's the king of a small country, equivalent to the courtiers of a big country, what's wrong with the small officials making way for the big officials."
Zhuang Xun comforted Lan Qiu, don't retreat when it's time to come out, this kind of place where there is no need to compete, just retreat.
"It's just a pity that so much fabric is used as a barrier, it's a pity." Zhuang Xun still can't forget the scene when he heard the farmer say that his family had no clothes so he could only stay at home a few days ago.
"I guess it'll be recycled." Zhuang inquired expectantly.
"I guess so." Lan Qiu was not sure, so he drove the carriage and turned in one direction, because it stretched for fifty miles, the road back to Yunding Mountain had been blocked, maybe they had just returned from the mountain.
"Let's rest in the inn room tonight, slack son." Lan Qiu didn't dare to let Zhuang Xun think about it anymore, she figured out something, and when the time came, she refused to sign an alliance with Zhao Guo, she felt that she was guilty.
Although she was thinking about it herself, as a cultivator, the things she was accustomed to before were picked out by Zhuang Xun and said, which made her feel that something was wrong.
"It's okay, I can chat with a few more people at night, if I go back to Genting Mountain, it's a little boring." Zhuang Xun smiled and sat back in the carriage.
In fact, chatting with Lan Qiu is not boring, and now Zhuang Xun sees Lan Qiu's embarrassment, and if he changes to himself, he is also uncomfortable when he encounters this situation.
After listening to Zhuang Xun's words, Lan Qiu directly drove the carriage to the best inn in Dongcheng to ensure that Zhuang Xun could not see any Bai Ding civilians.
Make sure that any person in it should be a child of the family, and the conversation is good, and I don't want to be ashamed anymore.
The Zhuang Xun experience is good, the sound of the piano is elegant, the vanilla is fragrant, and the waiters are warmly hospitable, which is more advanced than the five-star hotels of later generations, and the clean hands are sweet jujube water.
Zhuang Xun is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, anyway, she doesn't understand anything, she was guided by Lan Qiu all the way, and there are scholars who also stay in the same place Cheche laughed, but there was no one who came up to provoke.
Zhuang Xun is not embarrassed, but he has no idea of chatting, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, the other party laughs like this, whether it is malicious or not, he has no interest, these people are not in the range he wants to know, his identity is not suitable, and he can't make up any good identity.
So leaning against the window, looking at the sky, the ground, and the pedestrians, enjoying the fun of the breeze, the wind rolled over the chin, and it felt like the Xuannu was stroking her cheeks, and the Xuannu seemed to have the god of the wind.
"I'm sorry, but you're in the wrong place with Your Highness." Lan Qiu felt that she had made all the mistakes of the year today, in her opinion, Zhuang Xun should have come to see the civilization and quality of the people of Zhao Guo, she never expected that Zhuang Xun would be laughed at when she came in, so it was better not to come.
"It's okay, it's very good here, the cool breeze is gentle, the sound of the piano is elegant, there are pavilions and buildings, and the calligraphy and painting screens are also good-looking, it should be regarded as the best inn in Zhao Kingdom."
Zhuang Xun commented that there is an illusion of dreaming back to modern society, although he has never lived in a so-called five-star hotel, but he feels that a five-star hotel is like this.
"Your Highness, the slave is really shameless to face you, I originally wanted to make you happy in Zhao Kingdom, but something happened to ruin your mood."
Lan Qiu knelt on the ground and apologized, and Zhuang Xunxuan raised his hand to let her up, saying that it was not in these things, but just to let him know Zhao Guo better.
"It's okay, it's okay, where are these things, Yu Guo, Your Majesty held a longevity banquet, I was hostile to Qingliu and those corrupt officials at the time, and I didn't think there was anything, not to mention that it was just a few strangers who ridiculed me."
"Your Highness is generous and has the demeanor of a benevolent monarch." Lan Qiu has always known that Zhuang Xun is a good person, and now she can still maintain her humble and friendly posture, it is not easy, as a cultivator, many of her feelings are annoyed, Zhuang Xun actually let it go gently.
Maybe it's because of the different perspectives, Zhuang Xun in Lan Qiu's eyes is the king who took the initiative to come to join the Zhao State, the king of a place, a prince, and he suffered several grievances as soon as he came, he didn't feel angry, and he was generous.
In Zhuang Xun's eyes, he is only a half-level prisoner, it is good to be able to move freely, what more requirements do you have to make, and you can observe these extravagant things to help stabilize your understanding of Zhao Guo, the upper class is indeed quite heavenly.
He can go to listen to music and dance every morning, enjoy delicious food, and enjoy the breeze and moon in the evening, which really makes him yearn for it, if he had this opportunity before, he must have grasped it.
The more I look at these now, the stronger the resistance of the whole person, there is a strong urge to change, I want to go back to Xia Youguo, I want to inherit Yu Guo, and then with the help of the gods, I desperately catch up with Zhao Guo, raise Zhao Guo, and send a piece of clothing to everyone, so that people dare to go out and walk without fear of being embarrassed.
The scholars and nobles of Zhao felt that Zhuang Xun was ashamed, where did the hillbillies come from, but in fact, Zhuang Xun only felt that these upper class people felt ashamed.
Judging from his own simple value, he is a group of corpse vegetarian guys, the people of his own country don't even have clothes to wear, and the places where they live are called tattered, what are you proud of, anyway, Zhuang Xun is not in the mood to talk to them.
It caused two perspectives, Lan Qiu felt that it was because Zhuang Xun was ridiculed by these scholars, so he was not looking for someone to talk to like Zhuang Xun said, Zhuang Xun simply felt that these scholars were speechless, and he looked domineering and proud, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"There are too many people who praise me with this sentence, what a Renjun, it's just a better temper, it's okay, I don't take it to heart, I can't change that I want to sign a contract with Zhao Guo and marry Mrs. Jiang, it's just that my country I don't want to become like this."
Humility for a moment, and then Zhuang Xun expressed his position and said, thinking in his heart that what is going on is okay, and he still has to show a firm position in front of the enemy.
"Marry a lady?" Lan Qiu stood up, looked at Zhuang Xun's kind smile, and remembered what he had said to Mrs. Jiang before.
Mrs. Jiang only appreciates Zhuang Xun, she has no love, don't look at Mrs. Jiang has been supporting Zhuang Xun, but in fact, just appreciation, her heart is very arrogant, fish is fish, she is human.
Since Zhuang Xun is just a fish, how can people fall in love with fish, Mrs. Jiang is coaxing Zhuang Xun to come.
"That's right, Madame said, let me come to Zhao Kingdom to meet my family, I really love Madame so much, I have to come regardless of the opposition of my subordinates, because if I miss it, I will probably never be able to marry Mrs. Jiang."
Zhuang Xun showed his cultivated acting skills, showing a look of joy and a hint of longing, which can be regarded as a true expression.
"Does Your Highness like Madame so much?" Lan Qiu listened to Zhuang Xun's words, and looked at Zhuang Xun's expression, and his mood became not very good, probably seeing a Ming Jun being tempted by a beautiful woman into a faint monarch, especially this beauty is still his own wife.
"Of course, don't you like how I came here from Jizhou, I came here to marry your wife, don't you believe it? I'm probably going to be your uncle soon. β
Zhuang Xun joked, sat back by the window, continued to blow the cool breeze, and said that he intended to come to Zhao State as one of the conditions to marry Mrs. Jiang, but now he has the intention of escaping, he doesn't want to let himself threaten Si Qinmi's strategic deployment in Zhao State.
"Is it because Madame, she's pretty? If you want to say that she is beautiful, she is already the king of the secluded land, what kind of beauty does Your Highness not have? β
Lan Qiu knew that his words were a bit arrogant, and deliberately said in a relaxed tone, because Zhuang Xun was too two-faced, on the one hand, he cared about the lives of the people, and his benevolent temperament was full, and on the other hand, he was obsessed with Mrs. Jiang's beauty, and no one could persuade him to run to Zhao Guolai.
"Well, Mrs. Jiang is different, how to say it, it's like Bai Yueguang, who helped me when I was in danger, and she rescued me from several difficulties, such as the longevity banquet in Yu State, the coup d'Γ©tat of Chengguo, the revitalization of Jiannan, the capture of Youguo, and the care of me like an elder, so I have a feeling of admiration from the bottom of my heart, of course, Mrs. Jiang's beauty also attracts me."
Tell Lan Qiu what he said to Si Qinmi in a different way, he also has to use a set of excuses to explain why he came, and to show that he has no brains to do this kind of thing, so that Zhao Guo can let down his guard against him.
At least on the surface, he has to show that he is very friendly to Zhao Guo, although he can't get used to anything in Zhao Guo, he still has to show an understandable expression on the surface.
"Is that so? It seems that His Royal Highness is really affectionate to Madame, and Madame is also interested in you, so this matter may be done. β
Lan Qiu said that she didn't feel much hope anyway, but she just hoped that she would be able to stabilize her emotions when Zhuang was rejected for reasons in the later stage.
"Is there still a trick in Jinyang City at night?" Zhuang Xun didn't hear Lan Qiu's words insincerely, and he was bored to appreciate the artwork, and the cool breeze was also comfortable, so he asked.
"Then it's going to have to be Goolan Powder Building." Lan Qiu smiled mysteriously and said that he carried the Qinglou out generously.
"There's only that kind of place to play at night, and you need a slave to take you there?" Lan Qiu said playfully.
"No, no, how did you come up with that kind of place?" Grabbing the edge of the window, his eyes shook like a wave drum, and he looked out to make himself less embarrassed, he only had a fierce battle with Bi Yuewu yesterday, and he was not so hungry.
"I'm afraid Your Highness will be lonely." Lan Qiu was embarrassed to say, at least there was never a shortage of women around Zhuang Xun, and his wife and concubines were by his side, and now this environment was a little cold.
"Aren't you still there? I'm lonely for something. Zhuang Xun said casually, looking at the few scholars talking in the courtyard, it seemed that he could hear them talking high, and Zhuang Xun was attracted by their conversation.
"Such a big battle, fifty miles of moire brocade, sure enough, Song Fengchang is richer......
It's talking about the fight for wealth just now, so I can't help but divert my attention, I want to hear what other tricks there are, which I haven't heard before.
"Slave maid, slave maid is uncomfortable with grace...... Lan Qiu knelt down again, her face was crimson, and she didn't know whether she was angry or shy.
"Ah, no, I said it wrong, I'm sorry, my meaning is ambiguous, I don't feel lonely, so you don't have to go to Qing, that kind of place, forget it, I'm too lazy to go out, you've been with me for a day, go and rest."
Zhuang Xun felt that the more he explained, the more chaotic it became, so he simply drove people away, and his face became highly nervous, for fear that Lan Qiu would misunderstand something.
"The slave understands." Lan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little lost, didn't he see it?
Standing up and preparing to walk towards the door, her mood was complicated, she couldn't tell what it was like, she was embarrassed, and she thought too much.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who said something crazy and offended Miss Lanqiu, I hope Miss Lanqiu has a lot, don't care."
Zhuang Xun accompanied him all the way and apologized all the way, this is his advantage, if he is wrong, he will admit it, Lan Qiu is the person sent by Xuannu and Mrs. Jiang to take care of him, and he respects him very much.
"Your Highness, the slave maid is not angry...... Lan Qiu looked at Zhuang Xun's worried expression and smiled, although she knew that Zhuang Xun knew her identity and didn't really treat her as a maid, but she was in such a hurry to pay attention to it, she was in a much better mood.
"Understood, understood......" Zhuang Xun received a reply and breathed a sigh of relief, Lan Qiu is also a cultivator and his guardian, such frivolous words are too much.
Closing the door, Zhuang Xun reflected on his humble behavior, and then felt particularly profane and frivolous, so he thought about how to remedy it.
Walking to the window, the crowd in the courtyard was gone, the orange light of the sun was shining on his face, and the shop should not have closed its doors at dusk.
I packed up and went out, and walked to the middle place of my memory, which was a jewelry store that I occasionally saw while sitting in a carriage today.
Changed the jade pendant on his waist to a beautiful golden jade hairpin, Zhuang Xun planned to hand it over to Lan Qiu as an apology tomorrow, and he saw it just after he went out, Lan Qiu, who was standing at the door, had a bad face.
"Childe, it's night, what should I do if I meet a bad guy? The slave and maid were worried about death. Lan Qiu tugged at his sleeves and said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to worry you, this is for you, thank you for taking care of it, and reparation for offense." Zhuang Xun picked up the gift box, like a child who was caught.
I was still thinking in my heart, this was too tight, and I hadn't left Jinyang yet, but I was found after just a little street.
"Palace, where did you get the money, Childe?" Zhuang Xun, as a king, how could he bring money with him, there was nothing when he was rolled, and a few copper plates were given to the poor farmers at the foot of Yunding Mountain early.
"You don't have to worry about ......"
ββ¦β¦β
After a while, Zhuang Xun came out with the jade pendant that Lan Qiu hung up with his own hands, one of the two of them held the gift box, and the other walked around the jade pendant around his waist from time to time, speechless all the way.
Zhuang Xun was embarrassed and didn't want to speak, and Lan Qiu didn't mean to start the topic.
Passing by the corner of the street, I saw that the intersection of the west city of the south city was stopped by a group of soldiers, and there were many people standing outside.
"Here's what to do." Zhuang Xun said unexpectedly, and then thought of what the vendor said during the day to pick up the money lost by the Wang family.
"Nobles, these people who are applying for scavengers want to come and sweep the streets." Zhuang Xun's puzzled words came out, because he was close to the soldiers, a soldier glanced at his clothes, and immediately replied respectfully.
"So many people to sweep the streets?" Zhuang Xun was a little puzzled, but there was a group of people outside.
"After all, it is necessary to clean carefully to ensure that the roads that the nobles walk on during the day are clean and tidy." The soldiers flattered and said that the more Zhuang Xun didn't understand this, it meant that the higher Zhuang Xun's vision, the more he didn't dare to offend.
"Well, can't they come and clean during the day?" Zhuang Xun basically understands, what to clean, just pick up garbage.
"What if you disturb the nobles during the day, Dongcheng is the area of the nobles' activities, and the sentry will not let these people come during the day, and I will be supervised at night, lest these scavengers contradict nobles like you, but the nobles can rest assured, and they will only be allowed to come and clean up when the time comes." Bing Ding explained that he wanted to reassure Zhuang Xun.
"......" Zhuang Xun's pupils dilated, combined with the content of the hawker's angry scolding yesterday, although he had guessed, the truth was still shocking, this city obviously has no city walls, but there are city walls everywhere.
"Childe, let's go, you haven't eaten dinner yet, the slave has made it for you." Lan Qiu reminded that Zhuang Xun reacted at this time.
"Lan Qiu, do you think this is really right?" Walking to the road, Zhuang Xun couldn't help but ask.
"Childe, didn't you already know during the day?" Lan Qiu replied sullenly.
The next day, Zhuang Xun did not return to Genting Mountain early, and never went down the mountain for ten consecutive days, reading every day, looking at the mountains, and overlooking the cannibalistic city.
Until one day, when I woke up early in the morning, I saw a purple ribbon stretching to the east, passing through Genting Mountain.
"What is this? And who is richer than whom? β
"That's the step barrier for His Majesty King Zhao to greet Your Highness, there are hundreds of miles, and your mission has arrived."
