Li Zi'an settled down Princess Fengrong and others, and after having a vegetarian meal with them in the temple, he left Tian'en Temple with great fanfare, pretending to be returning to Wuchang Mansion.
At the same time, Shen Tianshu was learning from Fang Fu how to comb a woman's hair in the Zen room.
Li Zian prepared everything very carefully, from common people's common clothes to slightly distressed silver hairpins to unembroidered thousand-layer cloth shoes...
There was even a pair of extremely thin silver shrimp whisker bracelets.
The image of a woman whose life is a little difficult is almost vivid.
Fang Fu also specially showed it to Shen Tianshu: "Look, there is a mechanism hidden inside this bracelet, which can hide the gold needles you usually use."
Shen Tianshu took off the gold bracelet he was wearing, took out the gold needle inside, and tried to insert it into the shrimp bracelet.
It actually fits perfectly, with only the tail of the needle exposed, like the decoration on a shrimp whisker bracelet.
The shrimp whisker bracelet is extremely thin, and it must require more sophisticated techniques to make it like this.
Li Zian even considered such details, which made Shen Tianshu feel very happy.
Fang Fu taught Shen Tianshu two simple buns for women, then helped her comb her hair and put on a silver hairpin.
Shen Tianshu went to the inner room and changed her clothes and shoes. When she came out, she already looked pretty, but her face was still too bright.
Fang Fu took out the rouge and gouache and was thinking about how to cover up Shen Tianshu when she saw Li Zian coming in from the door and saying, "Shu'er just wears a curtain hat."
Fang Fu originally couldn't put his hands on Shen Tianshu's face, but when he heard what Li Zian said, he immediately put down what he was holding.
Shen Tianshu turned to look at Li Zian, only to find that not only had he changed his clothes, but he also had a large brown birthmark on his face.
The birthmark covers almost half of the face, from the eyebrow arch to the cheekbones. The birthmark spans from the inner corner of the eye to the temple, covering up the red mole in the corner of the eye.
He was wearing a gray cotton robe, black trousers, and leggings on his calves. He looked a little bloated on top, but a little capable on the bottom.
The bloatedness is because the cotton robe is made of ordinary material and needs to be made thicker to keep warm.
The exercise of the lower body is for the convenience of traveling.
Li Zian's figure was not as tall and straight as usual. He slumped his shoulders and back slightly, looking like an ordinary person who was hunched over under the weight of life.
After Shen Tianshu put on the curtain hat, she looked no different from an ordinary civilian woman.
"Let's go after everything is done." Li Zian took Shen Tianshu and quietly left the courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion in Tian'en Temple through the back door, and then went straight to the most remote temple gate in the back mountain.
A mule cart has already been parked outside the temple gate. Although the cart is a bit old, fortunately it still has a compartment that can protect it from wind and rain.
The few luggages of the two people were already loaded in the car, and Shen Tianshu's medicine box had already been hidden under the seat in the car.
Li Zian helped Shen Tianshu get into the car, and he sat sideways on the shaft. With a flick of the whip in his hand, the mule took off and walked towards the north.
On the way, Li Zi'an saw no one around, so he said to Shen Tianshu: "The Chen family is in Sanli City under the jurisdiction of Hanyang Prefecture. Although it does not go beyond the boundaries of Huguang, we are going all the way from Wuchang Prefecture, and there are mountain roads and waterways. It takes almost ten days to get there."
When Shen Tianshu heard this, he calculated the time in his mind. He would go there for more than ten days and come back for more than ten days. This would be a month away.
When we got there, we had to see Mrs. Chen. Now we don’t know what her condition is.
If you want to get home before the twelfth lunar month, the time to treat Mrs. Chen must be limited to ten days.
Time is really tight right now.
But now we don’t know what Mrs. Chen’s situation is, so there is no point in thinking about it.
In addition, as we walked further down the mountain, there were gradually more and more pedestrians on the road, so the two of them no longer talked about serious matters, but just chatted casually.
"Let's go straight to Han first
Yangfu, although it will take a little detour, but this road used to be an official road, so it will be much easier.
"After arriving at Hanyang Mansion, we need to buy some dry food to take with us. We won't encounter such a big city again for most of the journey.
"After leaving Hanyang Prefecture, continue all the way north, passing through Xiaochang County and Lishan County, and we are almost there."
After the two people took the mule cart down the mountain, they quickly drove onto the official road.
As Li Zian said, the road from Wuchang Prefecture to Hanyang Prefecture is indeed easier to walk.
At noon on the third day, the two people saw the city gate of Hanyang Mansion.
Although Hanyang Mansion is not as grand as Wuchang Mansion, it is still a very large city with seven gates and intertwined rivers and lakes.
There were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, but because Huguang was peaceful, the inspection was not strict.
Li Zi'an jumped off the carriage, pulled the mule to the city gate, and handed the official guide that he had prepared long ago to the other party for review.
The officers and soldiers looked at Guan Ping's road guide, then asked Li Zian to lift the car curtain, took a look inside, and then lowered the car curtain.
"Who are you in the car?"
"When I go back to the official, my wife is sitting in the car.
"We just got married, and it's almost the end of the year, so we plan to go back to our hometown as soon as possible.
"First we will repair the old house at home, and then we will take my wife to meet relatives and friends."
Li Zian spoke in a dialect of unknown origin, which seemed quite similar.
The officers and soldiers looked at the birthmark on Li Zian's face, raised their hands and patted him on the shoulder hard: "Brother, you should pay attention to this person, and you can't neglect it.
"It's not easy for you to find a wife like this."
After that, the officers and soldiers stamped the Guan Ping road guide and returned it to him, indicating that he could enter the city.
Li Zian was stunned by the officers and soldiers.
As the prince of Prince Rui's palace and a gifted person, this was the first time he heard such words.
Shen Tianshu listened in the car and couldn't help but chuckle, and then reminded him: "If you haven't thanked the official yet, hurry up and enter the city!"
Listening to the gentle and pleasant words spoken by the people in the car, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but sigh. They didn't expect this silly big guy to be lucky.
Li Zi'an collected the official guide, thanked the officers and soldiers, and then pulled the mule cart into the city gate.
Hanyang Prefecture is not as prosperous as Wuchang Prefecture, but the streets are very clean, and the shops on both sides of the road are lined up in rows, which looks very pleasant.
Li Zian drove around and asked two passers-by for directions, and finally stopped at the door of an inconspicuous-looking inn.
The waiter in the room saw the guest coming and immediately came out to greet him.
"Hello, sir, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
"How much does it cost to stay for one night?" Li Zinan asked awkwardly.
"You came to our inn because my house is famous throughout Hanyang Mansion for being clean and affordable.
"The store has Tianzihao rooms, Dizihao rooms, Herringbone rooms and Tongpu.
"The Emperor's room is a suite, and comes with one dinner and one breakfast for one tael of silver per night.
"The room with the ground floor is on the second floor. It is airy and spacious with a good view. It only comes with one breakfast and costs 500 cents per night.
"The herringbone room is on the first floor. It comes with nothing but two hundred cents per night.
"The general store is at the back, thirty cents per person per night."
"I want a room with a local name..."
Before Li Zian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Tianshu who was still sitting in the car.
"Husband, it's okay to live in a herringbone room. I just sleep for one night and then leave. What can I do to save the three hundred cash?"
Li Zi'an felt so comfortable when she called her husband, let alone staying in a herringbone room, he would not hesitate at all to let him sleep in the Datong bunk.
