Twenty-three,
That night, Xiahou Liusu was as restless as a resentful woman who was out of favor. Her plan to serve the bed was failed again. Although the "Wynn Inn" was the largest inn in the town, there were only sixteen guest rooms, three of which were already inhabited. Zhou Xuan and his party and Li Tao and the five of them had a total of 31 people. There were more people and few guest rooms, so Zhou Xuan asked Xiao Xu to be in the same room as him, so Xiahou Liusu was not able to go to serve the bed again.
Xiahou Liusu never thought it would be so difficult to seduce a man with her beauty. It was a shame. She was a courtesan in Xuanzhou. Many romantic and talented men were obsessed with her and recited poems and lyrics for her, but Zhou Xuan ignored her and made her so angry that she almost forgot her true purpose. She just wanted to sleep with Zhou Xuan.
The little maid Yu'er said, "It's all because of the fat scholar Li Tao. He missed Miss Jiaqi. It's so hateful. Eloping will not end well. Sooner or later, his father-in-law caught and beat him up. Miss, Yu'er said you, is it fake for us to elope? "
Xiahou Liusu frowned and said nothing.
Yu'er comforted, "Miss, don't worry, there are opportunities, but you have to take advantage of the situation."
Xiahou Liusu asked: "How to use the opportunity to insert needles?"
Yu'er said, "Miss is too rigid. She doesn't have to be in bed at night, or in the carriage."
Xiahou Liusu blushed and said, "Miss Lin Er is often in his carriage, how can I go!"
Yu'er said, "What are you afraid of? The lady is elopement. She is his concubine. It's just right. Miss Lin Er is wrong and is an affair."
Xiahou Liusu felt very reasonable and was eager to try it out.
The fish looked like Zhiduoxing and said, "Even if it is inconvenient in the carriage, you can get the chance to be in the wild. That's called wild-collar."
"Ah..." Xiahou Liusu opened her mouth round and couldn't speak.
On the first day of May, Zhou Xuan got up early. He originally wanted Sanchi and Lai Fu to accompany him, because the inn guy said that the road was difficult to walk, the carriage was impossible, and the trip was riding horses or walking, but Lin Hanyun and Xiaoqian said they wanted to go.
Zhou Xuan also likes the excitement, and he is also willing to take the beauty back home. Hehe, I just don’t know if there are people in Shatin now? He said, “Okay, go all you want to go.” He asked the inn again: “Is it okay to take the water route?”
The guy said: "It's okay to walk on the waterway, but it hasn't rained for the past half month, so it's hard to drive a bigger boat, and it's going up against the current, so the boat is also slow to move."
Zhou Xuan said: "If you can ride a horse, go, if you can't ride a horse, stay, we will come back late."
Needless to say that Lin Hanyun can ride a horse. Xiahou Liusu quickly said that she can ride a horse, and Xiao Xuxiang said that she can’t ride a horse, but she would go to see her son-in-law’s ancestral home even by foot. It would be easier to tell Miss Que'er when she returned to Jiangzhou.
Lin Hanyun said: "You don't have to walk on Xiaoqian, I will ride a horse to take you."
Fairy Jingyi was a little hesitant: "Brother Xuan, do I think I can ride a horse anymore?" Fairy Jingyi rode a horse outside Shezhou City that time, and later refused to learn.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "You can ride it. It's okay, I can take care of my sister."
Judge Fan originally wanted to go and see the ancestral home of Marquis Zhou, but Zhou Xuan asked him to stay. Yesterday, the group of detectives who had their legs broken had almost brought the county horses and archers to arrest the bold and arbitrary salt merchants. Judge Fan had to stay and deal with those people, and don't disclose Zhou Xuan's identity for the time being.
In this way, Judge Fan and eight soldiers stayed, as well as Ming Feng, Jian Yue and Yu'er, and Lin Ning stayed, so there must be a master in charge.
Zhou Xuan and Sanchi, Lai Fu, Fairy Jingyi, Lin Hanyun, Xiahou Liusu, and Xiaoqian, a total of seven people were led by the inn to Shatian thirty miles away. Zhou Xuan also asked Fairy Jingyi for a set of Yue Kiln celadon tea cups. Lin Hanyun asked him what he had to take the tea cups? Zhou Xuan smiled and said nothing.
Scholar Li Tao sent Zhou Xuan for a journey and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll invite you to drink tomorrow."
Lin Hanyun rode the "Crane in the Clouds" with Xiaoxiang. Xiahou Liusu was skilled in bowing and horses, and Lin Ning's jujube-red horse was quite heroic. Zhou Xuan was still holding the horse for Fairy Jingyi.
Everyone else was riding a horse, only Zhou Xuan and the inn guy walked, which made Fairy Jingyi feel very sorry and whispered: "Brother Xuan, I'd better not go anymore. I can't ride a horse, it will drag you down."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "What's my sister saying? I would rather walk. It's rare to go back to my hometown once. It's also comfortable to step on the soil of my hometown."
Fairy Jingyi knew that Xuan Di said this was actually to comfort her. She was so moved. Fortunately, she wore a hat and covered her veil, otherwise her tears would be seen by Xuan Di.
Lin Hanyun hugged Xiaoxiang and stepped on Qingchen, saying, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you are so stupid. You can just take my sister to ride like this. Isn't it much faster to let the third gentleman take the guy?"
A scene in the dream flashed by, and Fairy Jingyi quickly said, "Hanyun, then you can take your sister and let Brother Xuan bring fennel."
Lin Hanyun said, "How can that be done? Sister, you are taller than me. If you sit in front of me, you will block my way. Only Brother Zhou Xuan will take you the most suitable." In fact, Fairy Jingyi can sit behind Lin Hanyun on the back of the horse, but Lin Hanyun did not say it on purpose.
Zhou Xuan knew that Fairy Jingyi couldn't hide her face and rode with him. This was too ambiguous, and said, "It's only more than thirty miles away, and I can get there quickly when I walk."
Lai Fu said loyally, "Son-in-law, please ride my horse and let Lai Fu lead the horse for Miss Lin."
Fairy Jingyi said in surprise: "No, don't."
Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "Laifu, your loyalty is indeed commendable, but how can you let Sister Daoyun lead a horse? I'm just waiting for the bumpy mountain road to do it, but Sister Yun can't ride it steadily." He said: "Laifu, be careful of the silver and food on the horse's back, don't fall - Sister Daoyun sits firmly, let's go quickly."
Lin Hanyun laughed: "Sister is so majestic, Grand Secretary, Grand Marshal leads you, and the little Empress Zhou Hou is not so majestic."
Fairy Jingyi turned her head and pretended not to hear it, but she was happy in her heart. She was originally a person who liked Jing and did not like movement, but Zhou Xuan couldn't stay idle all day long, but she would rather follow Zhou Xuan, with a hazy joy. Although she knew there was no result, she cherished the moment in front of her. She couldn't help but think of a poem. This poem can be sung. Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but sing in her heart: "I advise you not to cherish the golden twigs, and I advise you to cherish the time you were young. The flowers bloomed and you must be broken, and don't wait for the flowers to fall and break the branches."
Fairy Jingyi's cheeks were hot, and she blamed herself for her heart's heart. She quickly recited the "Taiqing Sheyang Sutra" silently.
The group left the east gate of Yongfeng Town and went up the left bank of Fengxi River. The road winded among the hills and suddenly merged with Fengxi River. The early rice in the fields had ears, and it would be almost harvested in another month. The fragrance of ears floated in the air.
From time to time, I heard the sound of "dongdong" drums, and I kept going.
Lin Hanyun asked: "Brother Zhou Xuan, what kind of drum is this? I have been beating several miles?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Stupid, Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, this is the drum for dragon boat racing."
Lin Hanyun said: "Yes, yes, the dragon boat race in Jiangzhou is very lively every year, and I can't get back to the Dragon Boat Festival this year. It seems that I have to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in Xinzhou. Brother Zhou Xuan has to entertain us well."
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, please eat rice dumplings with all kinds of stuffings. How about we row ourselves for a dragon boat?"
"Okay, okay." Lin Hanyun cheered. He saw a lot of dragon boats, but he had never rowed by himself. When he was in Jiangzhou, his father and sister were reluctant to let her go to row dragon boats, so he didn't even think about it.
Lin Hanyun looked at her sister. Her sister rode on the horse and shook her slightly. She didn't seem to hear her answer with Zhou Xuan just now. Since she left Jiangzhou at the beginning of the year, her sister has not cared about her much. Indulging her is actually just indulging Zhou Xuan. Her sister is very good to Zhou Xuan. As long as Zhou Xuan says something, her sister will agree. Humph, my sister is partial!
The weather was already very hot in early May, and it was fine to get up early. After walking for more than ten miles, the sun was roasting and the face was oily. It was fine if you were riding a horse. Zhou Xuan was walking and walking in a hurry, and he became sweaty. Two pieces of sweat were leaking from the shoulder blades of the green cloth summer shirt.
Lin Hanyun deliberately took out a silk paper: "Brother Zhou Xuan should wipe his sweat? Thank you so hard."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay, I sweat and feel light and healthy." As he said that, he took off Fan Yang's hat and fanned the wind.
Fairy Jingyi was a little uneasy and said unhappily: "Brother Xuan, do you want to take a break?"
Zhou Xuan said: "No, I am not a spoiled young man."
After walking for a while, Zhou Xuan's sweat on his clothes became heavier and stronger, Fairy Jingyi's pity and guilt continued to increase. Finally, he said, "Brother Xuan, you can come up and ride a horse. We are siblings, right?"
Lin Hanyun quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, my sister finally figured it out. There are no outsiders here. What are the fears of siblings riding together? Brother Zhou Xuan, come on, hurry up."
Zhou Xuan was a little embarrassed by Lin Hanyun's urging. The girl seemed even more urgent than him. She immediately stopped the horse and said, "Sister, don't pedal your feet, sit forward a little."
Fairy Jingyi did as she said. Zhou Xuan stepped on the kickstick with his left foot, and sat behind her with a horse on his back. His arms stretched out, pulling the reins of the horse. With a "drive", the "Black Rose" trotted.
Fairy Jingyi was dizzy, and she was like she was in Xuandi's arms. She touched Xuandi's left and right arms from time to time. The man's body odor and sweat surrounded her, and her hot breath sprayed on her snow-white back neck. It was itchy. Fairy Jingyi was so clean by nature. Although it was the middle of winter, she had to take a bath every day and was very disgusted with the smell of sweat, but Xuandi's smell of sweat did not make her hate it. Instead, it smelled a little good.
Fairy Jingyi didn't expect that there would be such a day. Brother Xuan would ride with her. It wouldn't be a dream again, right? Fairy Jingyi pinched the palm of her hand. It hurts, it's not a dream!
Nervous, too nervous. Fairy Jingyi was stiff and grabbed Anqiao with both hands, trying not to tilt back, so that her back would be pressed against Xuandi's chest.
The "Black Rose" is running faster and faster. Although the road is rugged, it is still like a good horse like "Black Rose" who is one of the most popular horses.
Lin Hanyun smiled like a silver bell, urging "Yun Zhonghe" to catch up. Lai Fu, Xiahou Liusu, and Sanchi also urged the horse to run quickly, leaving the guy who led the way at the "Wynn Inn" behind.
The guy shouted: "Dear guests, wait for me." He ran away with his big feet in straw sandals.
Sanchi smiled and strangled the horse. When the guy caught up, he lifted the guy up and put it on the back of the saddle, and then rode his horse to chase the person in front of him.
Fairy Jingyi was dizzy. The scenery on both sides of the road was shaking, and the tide was running backwards. She had no time to see the scenery on both sides. Her heart was pounding, and her stiff body gradually softened. As the horse moved, she leaned against Zhou Xuan's chest from time to time. Zhou Xuan said in her ear: "Sister, don't be tense, you will be very tired. Relax, just lean on me, it's nothing."
Zhou Xuan seemed to be able to curse forbidden art. Fairy Jingyi's tight waist suddenly softened, leaned against Zhou Xuan's chest, and made a whispering sound from her mouth. Zhou Xuan couldn't hear what she was saying.
The soft jade is embracing the warm fragrance of Fairy Jingyi's Phalaenopsis is very charming, with her round buttocks facing his front crotch. Zhou Xuan tried hard to control himself and not be distracted, otherwise he would be foolish. Sister Daoyun should not be as stupid as Hanyun.
It was much faster to ride a horse. In less than half an hour, the guy shouted: "Mr. Zhou, Shanxi Township is ahead. You have to cross the river. If you have to travel more than ten miles, it is what Mr. Zhou said about Shatian. It should be the place between Shanxi Township and Xincheng Township."
Zhou Xuan knew that Shanxi was the five capitals of later generations, and Xincheng Township should be Tongfan, and his hometown Shatian was between these two places.
When he arrived at the ferry, a ferry two and six feet long could cross four horses at a time. The shipkeeper carried bamboo poles to and from both sides. After a while, he transported Zhou Xuan’s eight men and five horses across the Fengxi River. Zhou Xuan thanked him for one tael of silver. The simple shipkeeper refused to accept it, saying that he could get three stones of rice at Shanxi Post for a year when he was guarding the ferry, and he could not get the money for passing guests.
