Professor Lis Married Life - Chapter 95
The battle was very big, but because there were officers and soldiers clearing the way on the left and right, pedestrians on the street gave way spontaneously, so the carriages came along smoothly.
The driving speed in the city was not fast, and the carriage had to walk for half an hour before leaving the city gate.
The official road outside the city is spacious, and one line can go side by side, with Big Ye on the left and Yan Guo on the right.
Li Chengze’s carriages here are also covered with blankets, and a layer of bamboo stalks are placed on the blankets, which is cool and comfortable.
There is a low wooden table in the middle. The wooden table holds an empty tea set. Because it is fixed by a square wooden frame and the like, the tea cup does not move when the carriage is walking.
Look again, there are two small wooden cabinets on the left and right sides of the carriage.
Gu Celadon opened one by one. There were dried fruits on the first floor, snack fruits on the second floor, and tea on the third floor. The wooden cabinet on the other side also did the same. There was a kettle filled with water and some commonly used ones. thing.
Because he was going out with the prince, Li Cheng had told him to be simple early in the morning. He only needs to bring enough clothes and silver, and nothing else is prepared.
There were lots of cars and dust all the way. Gu Celadon took a few glances outside and then put down the bamboo door and bamboo curtain.
She sat next to Li Cheng, leaned over, and whispered to people’s ears: “I just saw the two princes have girls waiting by their sides. I knew that, so I should bring the jade pearl and jade shining.”
When Li Cheng heard the words, he bent his fingers, tapped her forehead, and deliberately said: “I knew this, I shouldn’t have brought you here.”
Gu Celadon acted like a baby: “Msang Gong…”
“No falsehood. I told you before that this road wall will definitely not be better. It is summer and it is very hot. There is no ice for you, and you can’t escape the heat in the house. If you don’t find an inn in the future, you can use water No, are you afraid of it? If you are afraid that I have not gone far now, I will let Yuanbao send you back.”
“Msang Gong, I’m just talking about it.” Gu Qingci grabbed his sleeve and mumbled.
“It’s not okay to talk about it, people talk too much, if it’s passed on by others, it’s a trouble.”
“Understood, I listened to him.” Gu Celadon was still pretty well-behaved and admitted wrong.
After sitting boring, Gu Celadon asked again, “Msang Gong, which road are we going on? Where do we stop today?”
Li Cheng pulled out a map from the luggage he brought, spread it out, held it in his hand and showed it to Gu Celadon: “Hey, this is the route. You can enter Barnyard County at night.”
“Barnyard County, I know.” Gu Celadon said, her mother seemed to have a relative who was the magistrate of Barnyard County. “Have Xiang Gong been to Barnyard County?”
Li Cheng in Barnyard County also knew that the last year’s emperor ordered the people to divide the area regularly, and the three surrounding villages, including Hekou Village, were included in Barnyard County.
Moreover, “Li Chengze” did go to Barnyard County, so Li Chengze replied: “I came here a few years ago. Before, Hekou Village was assigned a site, and Hekou Village was registered in Barnyard County, although Barnyard County is close to the capital. , But it is under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang Mansion, that is to say, next year for her husband to participate in Qiuwei and will go to Kaiyang Mansion.”
“How could this be? Isn’t it because you have to stay close and seek farther, just in the capital?” Gu Celadon hadn’t heard anyone talk about it before, and now Li Cheng mentioned it, she was reluctant to get up.
Li Cheng said: “It’s okay, Kaiyang Mansion is not far away, but it’s not a big deal for three or four days.”
“But it’s still troublesome, not as convenient as the doorstep,” Gu Celadon said.
This walk took more than an hour. At noon, when it was the hottest time, the convoy walked into the shade of a tree, and the three princes ordered the line to rest.
He didn’t prepare to make a fire to cook, so he only let the servants carry the dry food and distribute them one by one.
The carriage stopped by the tree, Gu Celadon rolled up the bamboo curtain and looked out, curiously asked: “Why are there so many pancakes? Are they all prepared in the morning, but I can’t help it in such a hot day.”
Li Cheng was amused, “Silly girl, naturally it is impossible to prepare dry food all at once. It is just the number of these two days. The total number of this team is about 700 or 800 people. You have to eat a lot of food a day. Seeing a few grain trucks behind the team, a team of nearly a thousand people is going out, and it’s okay if there is no grain to prepare.”
Where did Gu Celadon think about these things? When he was at home, he only asked Li Cheng to bring her with him. He didn’t think about anything else.
They didn’t settle down either, and Jian Pu brought a plate of four pancakes over.
Yuan Bao and the driver who drove the car sat outside together, took the plate for the master and handed it in, picking up his own pancake and biting it.
Gu Celadon said: “My husband, I don’t want to eat this. There are snacks and fruits in the box.”
Li Cheng didn’t force her, even if she didn’t eat snacks, she would spoil them.
People on horseback do not eat something dry and hungry, like this kind of sturdy pancake, eat two and drink a few cups of tea, you will surely make the stomach support.
Gu Celadon held a delicate and small snack and put it to his mouth to eat one bite at a time.
Li Cheng took a cake casually and chewed it in his mouth.
“Msang Gong, you can have a snack with me, that is not delicious.”
As Gu Celadon spoke, he picked up a snack and put it in Li Chengze’s hand.
Li Cheng smiled: “It’s okay, the dessert is too sweet, I can just eat this pancake, why don’t officials pour a cup of tea for the husband?”
Gu Celadon quickly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then opened a jug next to it that was screwed up on the floor, refilling the white porcelain jug on the small table, and filled Li Chengze with a glass, “Xiang Gong, take a drink.”
This is the cold water that has been boiled first, and there is not so much attention on the road.
Gu Celadon was full after eating three snacks, and the rest was still in the box.
Gu Celadon put a pillow on it while not driving, and took a rest in the car.
In fact, it’s better when the carriage is moving. There will be wind blowing from the outside, and the carriage will be even more sultry when it stops.
Not long after, Gu Celadon sweated his forehead. Li Cheng saw it, so he had to take out a clean veil to wipe her, and then took a fan to beat her, and sighed: “But I know Are you tired?”
Instead, Gu Celadon smiled at him and said sweetly, “Not tired.”
Li Cheng could only pinch her nose.
After the repairs were completed, the convoy soon moved forward, and the speed was a little faster than in the morning. It should be because they wanted to enter Barnyard County before nightfall.
Gu Qingci slept in a daze, but Li Chengze woke her up, fearing that she would not be able to sleep at night after sleeping too much.
While playing Go, accompanied the girl in the next period, coaxing her to cheer up.
In the afternoon, I didn’t stop all the way until Youshi finally arrived at Yixian County.
Naturally, the six hundred soldiers camped in the outskirts to rest, and only a team of twenty guards guarded the three princes.
They found the best and largest restaurant inn, packed all the remaining rooms, and a group of people moved in.
After a day’s journey, everyone is hungry and tired. In an instant, a table downstairs was set up to fill up all these people, and the people who accompany them went to order the second one, just bring up the good wine and food.
Gu Celadon was tired and didn’t have any appetite, but Li Chengze coaxed her to eat a lot and gave her a lot of fish and vegetables.
Now I can still eat a bite of hot and fresh, there are still so many distances behind, I don’t know what the situation is, I have a place to eat it quickly.
After dinner, the two princes were led by the servants to the Tianzi room on the third floor.
Li Chengze and several other people accompanying them chose a room on the second floor alone.
Li Cheng casually recruited a shop assistant and gave him some money to send a bucket of hot water. After receiving the money, Li Cheng happily agreed, “Guest officer, don’t worry, the hot water will be delivered to you right away.”
The two took a bath and lay on the bed to rest. Gu Celadon had been sitting in the carriage for a day and suffered a lot of waist and back pain, but she could not say anything, but Li Cheng didn’t know how it was, but since she followed it out, it was bound to happen. It will be a bit harder for the first two days to suffer from this crime, and it will be fine when you get through it.
Li Cheng didn’t say a word on the face, but still felt distressed. Gu Celadon lay next to her with his hand, Li Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed her back with his big palm for a while.
Gu Celadon had his face buried in the first place, so he slowly tilted his head and glanced over and shouted: “Msang Gong…” His mouth was slumped, his eyes contained some misty water vapor, and his voice was crying that he didn’t know. As soon as he called out, tears fell out.
Li Cheng picked her up a bit, Gu Celadon wiped tears with the back of his hand, and buried his face in Li Chengze’s chest.
After a long while, he said in a soft voice: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Li Cheng stroked her back and whispered: “What apology, what on purpose?”
Gu Celadon has a nasal voice: “I didn’t cry on purpose, and I don’t hurt either, really.”
“Okay, it doesn’t hurt.” Li Cheng followed her words.
The two spoke in a low voice, one followed the other’s words, and the night gradually deepened, and soon they both fell asleep.
No dream for a night.
The next morning, I got up and took care of it. Everyone went downstairs, had breakfast, and set off again after checking out.
Gu Celadon only looked at the streets of Barnyard County from the carriage window. It was quite lively. There were already many people setting up stalls in the morning, including noodles and bun shops, as well as those selling tofu and butter tea. .
Yuan Bao wakes up early in the morning, and Li Cheng asks him to go out and buy more food.
No, as soon as I got in the car, I almost came with a few baskets of things, many snacks, various sauces of beef jerky, dried plums and raisins, and a lot of snack fruits.
There is also a basket with things wrapped in oil paper, steaming hot.
Li Cheng laughed when he saw it. I’m afraid he bought all the buns from others.
So he said: “Solve it yourself.”
Yuan Bao smiled: “Thank you, master.” Then he shared the food with the uncle driver. There were eight buns with big fists, and one person ate four.
Gu Qingci blinked at the sight, really afraid of people choking, and couldn’t help saying, “Hurry up and drink some water.”
Yuan Bao smiled with white teeth, “Miss grandma, this won’t choke me, my small appetite is good.”
Gu Celadon couldn’t help laughing softly.
——
Just as Li Cheng said, it was really hard a few days before the rush, and I got used to it when I got through it slowly.
Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and walk all the way from Daye Capital. It took more than 30 days from early August to early September.
Finally, the Julian Mountains are coming.
The motorcade stood at the entrance of Yulian City, and almost all of them breathed out a sigh of breath while looking at the mountain range in front of them.
