Shen Hua answered, squatted in front of the stove, ready to help light the fire.

Li Xia went to cut pork, his cooking skills were not as good as Tao Zhu's, he was only responsible for doing these chores.

Shen Hua scribbled on the ground with a burning stick, but his eyes were looking at his carriage.

Xu Ying was in his family's carriage, not in the Xu family's carriage, and the Xu family was standing in front of his family's carriage at this time and saying something to Xu Ying.

His mouth pursed involuntarily, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

The Xu family is so hateful, do you have to pick his cousin to talk when he is studying? I don't know if his cousin is busy with business!

"As long as Xu Ying's heart is on you. I think Xu Ying is quite assertive, don't worry. ”

Tao Zhu looked at Shen Hua's line of sight, and couldn't help but say a word of comfort.

Shen Hua retracted his gaze when he heard this, pouted and snorted: "Whatever he wants, even if he wants to listen to the Xu family, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal for me to learn from Brother Yuzu." ”

"You can't think like this, feelings are managed, how is Xu Ying treating you now?" Tao Zhu asked.

Anyway, based on what Tao Zhu saw, Xu Ying was much more interested in Shen Hua than before.

In the past, Shen Hua revolved around Xu Ying, what food and fun were interesting, and Shen Hua shared it with Xu Ying.

Xu Ying will also respond and will not be perfunctory, but at that time, Xu Ying just regarded Shen Hua as a cousin, and she was not intimate.

But this time when she went to the capital, it was Xu Ying who revolved around Shen Hua.

In the past, Shen Hua jumped down directly when he got out of the carriage, but now Xu Ying put a stool under the carriage, and he took Shen Hua's hand and let Shen Hua step on the stool to get down.

Moreover, wherever Xu Ying goes, she holds Shen Hua's hand.

When eating, he also took the initiative to serve soup to Shen Hua, you must know that it was all the other way around.

Shen Hua pursed his lips: "He treats me well." ”

"Since it's okay, it's good, the two of you are already married."

"I'm not reconciled." Shen Hua's mouth pursed again.

He rejected Xu Ying at that time, because he was really afraid of getting married, but Xu Ying promised it so well, and he was willing to make a note, of course, more importantly, he was unwilling.

He has liked Xu Ying for so many years, and now that Xu Ying has finally proposed, if he really refuses, then he will definitely have regrets in his life.

He wanted to marry Xu Ying to try.

"I married him to have no regrets, if he treats me badly in the future, then I will reconcile with him, I don't have to hang myself on his tree, Brother Yuzu is my role model!"

Tao Zhu: "......"

After a silence, he praised: "You have a good mentality, it was indeed Xu Ying who was wrong in the past, you should dry him." ”

"However, even if you are ready to leave, you have to manage it well. Feelings are managed. ”

"Okay, Brother Zhu, don't worry, you and Brother Yuzu are my role models!"

Shen Hua said with a grin.

His Brother Zhu and Brother Yuzu are both honey and oil, and he is very envious of it, if he and Xu Ying can become like this, how can he be reconciled.

He just reminded himself all the time that he had to leave a way out, and he couldn't put all his mind on men.

Soon, lunch was ready.

Xu Ying and Shen Hua came over with food, and the two families had lunch together.

It's winter now, and it's easy to cool down when the breeze blows, so they make a quick decision and finish their meals quickly.

The Zhuang family and the Meng family are also quick to decide, as for the Han family's team, they are simpler, just nibbling on steamed bread cakes with hot water.

After lunch, Li Qiao went back to the carriage to read a book, and Tao Zhu Li Ershan Li Xia was responsible for brushing the pots and dishes.

The convoy soon moved again.

The road was bumpy and he couldn't read, so Li Qiao got out of the carriage and drove with Tao Zhu.

He wrapped him and Tao Zhu in a large cloak, which was specially sewn by Tao Zhu before leaving, and the hat was also very large, so that they could be wrapped tightly and only one face was exposed.

In this way, Li Qiao was very willing, either he leaned on the carriage and let Tao Zhu sit in his arms, or the two sat side by side, he held Tao Zhu or leaned on Tao Zhu.

Anyway, the official road is narrow, and it is rare for two cars to run in parallel, and there are not many pedestrians on the road this season, so Li Qiao is very bold.

Besides, even if you do meet someone, it only takes one person to cover their faces and hide them in their cloaks.

Just like now, he and Tao Zhu sat side by side, he grabbed Tao Zhu's cold hand with his big hand and rubbed it a few times, and then took out the best mutton fat paste and carefully applied it to Tao Zhu's hand, and after the application was finished, it was interlocked with Tao Zhu's ten fingers, and the whole body was crooked to Tao Zhu's body.

Last night was in an inn, he didn't sleep, read all night, although he made up for sleep in the morning, but at this time after eating a little sleepy.

"You sleep for a while." Tao Zhu straightened his back so that he could lean more comfortably.

"Then you lean against the carriage, it will be more comfortable."

Li Qiao really wanted to catch up on sleep.

So Tao Zhu moved back, leaning against the carriage, Li Qiao leaned on his shoulder, and fell asleep after a while.

Li Qiao was taller than him, and soon fell asleep a little uncomfortable, and out of instinct, Li Qiao fell into his arms.

He crossed his legs and let Li Qiao rest on his thighs.

Li Qiao only woke up for a moment, and immediately adapted to this position, his tall body curled up in a ball, his face facing Tao Zhu's lower abdomen, his body was wrapped in a thick cloak, and his nose was full of Tao Zhu's breath.

He soon slept soundly again.

When I woke up again, it was almost dark.

The sleepiness completely dissipated, he pillowed Tao Zhu's legs, his body shook from time to time with the bumps of the ox cart, and in his ears was the sound of horses' hooves and the subtle sound of the carriage and ox cart walking, and occasionally there were human voices, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and poked Tao Zhu's stomach.

"Awake?"

Tao Zhu immediately lifted the corner of the cloak.

The cold wind poured in, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck, and when Tao Zhu saw this, he immediately covered the cloak tightly.

He couldn't help but smile.

This sleep was resounding, and the drowsy brain was awake.

But the body is also very stiff.

He stretched his legs out of his cloak and moved around Tao Zhu's neck with his hand.

Tao Zhu understood what he meant, and lowered his head to kiss him.

He fell into the carriage holding the pottery bamboo.

The carriage was covered with thick mattresses, dim and dark, wrapped in a cloak, and he and Tao Zhu kissed.

This kiss has no desire, he just wants to be intimate with Tao Zhu, and when the kiss is over, the two of them hugged each other tightly, didn't speak, but held hands tighter.

Leaving his familiar hometown and going to a strange capital, he had to take out all his hard work.

In this case, if there is Tao Zhu, then everything is worth it.

The ox cart swayed, even if no one was staring, it honestly followed the carriage in front, and this walk soon left Yuanhe Province and entered Jibei Province.

It's November, and they've been gone for a month.

Because they had to light a fire to cook every day, the convoy walked slowly, and at this speed, it was already the moon when they walked to the capital.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is snowing, and the snow in this world is very large, half a meter thick at every turn.

I couldn't travel on this snowy day, so I had to stay at the inn.

When staying in the inn, Li Qiao studied day and night, the closer he was to the capital, the more anxious he became, his foundation was too thin, and he had no choice but to work hard.

Fortunately, he is an extraordinary person, with good physical strength, and can withstand this kind of hardship.

In addition to feeling sorry for him, Tao Zhu took care of his good life.

Fortunately, there was not much snow this year, and when the third snow fell, the convoy, which had been walking for two months, finally came to the capital.

The author has something to say:

It's a hundred chapters, thank you to all the treasures who have appeared, thank you for coming here, send you a little red envelope, what~

Chapter 101: Autumn Pear Paste The Han family's sour pears

The capital of Dasheng is called Shengjing, which is a 300-year-old castle that was named Anseong in the previous dynasty and renamed Shengjing after the establishment of Daesheng.

The castle tower is very high, it looks like it is 40 meters, and the city wall is also very high, about 15 meters, not only high, but also very new, and there are no signs of wind and rain erosion at the root of the city wall, and there are no weeds, and it can be seen that it is being repaired every year.

Li Qiao took a closer look, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, this is a solid city.

There are stubborn soldiers on duty at the gate of the city, and the entry and exit of the city gate are very strict, not only to enter the city to be checked, but also to be interrogated when leaving the city gate, Li Qiao and his party were delayed at the city gate for more than half an hour, and then they successfully entered the city.

It was noon when they entered the city, and the Han family had already rented a house for Li Qiao, Zhuangwen, Xu Ying, and Meng Yue's families, so Li Qiao and the others refused Han Ning's invitation, and went to the rented house first, and then visited the Han family after the settlement was completed.

Shengjing is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city only has the palace city and the yamen of each department, and the east of the outer city is the place where the dignitaries live.

The Han family is just an ordinary wealthy businessman, living in the north of the outer city, most of the people living here are petty officials and ordinary wealthy businessmen, and the house rented by the Han family for Li Qiao is here.

It is not far from the Gongyuan, and the law and order is good, if the people who enter Beijing to participate in the examination do not want to stay in the guest house and have plenty of money, then this place is the first choice for them to rent a house.

The Han family rented eight houses for several families to choose, the eight houses are distributed in one street, and the farthest two are less than 100 meters apart.

Although there were only four people on Li Qiao's side, he and Tao Zhu chose a two-entry courtyard.

Shen painted Xu Ying and chose a courtyard with two entrances.

There are many Xu families, and they chose a big house with three entrances.

But the dealer and Meng Yue chose a small courtyard.

The Meng family has few and not much silver, so it is understandable to choose a courtyard.

The courtyard that the dealer chose to enter was purely because Zhuang Quan Zhou Yun was timid, and they didn't dare to go out alone when they were in the capital, let alone when they came to Shengjing.

The family lives in the same yard, which is more reassuring.

After choosing the yard, the families were busy scrubbing and tidying up.
