There are several white partition curtains hung around the inn bed.
A thin layer, half-transparent and half-covered, I don’t know what kind of atmosphere it creates? No wind protection at all.
Yuan Ying opened the window in the morning but did not close it.
At this time, the wind blew the curtains.
Que Qingyue's thin quilt was covered with a clean cloth. She was wearing a blue singlet and sitting there leaning on the pillow.
Her hair is draped behind her back, and the bangs on both sides of her forehead are tucked behind her ears in a curvature and scattered on the other side. She leans there and bends her neck slightly, revealing a small and delicate oval face, half-covered and half-exposed.
Because he had vomited blood and was physically weak, he looked a little haggard and his lips turned white.
As soon as Dongfang Qingfeng sat down, the size difference between the two was quite big.
He looked at her almost condescendingly. From his perspective, the daughter of the Que family only had to lower her head slightly, and her original oval face immediately turned into a smooth oval face.
With her head lowered, the distribution of her facial features and the placement of the three courts are just right, which is almost stunning.
Dongfang Qingfeng looked at it for a while before looking away.
When she raised her head, she had an oval face as big as a palm. It was so delicate that you could stare at it for a long time just looking at this face shape. There was an indescribable beauty in it. This kind of beauty had almost no blind spots, and every angle was different.
No wonder Liu Sichen couldn't pull his eyes out when he saw her for the first time.
He put the spoon into the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful, paused with his hand, and put it to her lips. The spoon accidentally touched it, and she felt as soft as snowflakes through the spoon...
Que Qingyue looked at the spoon that was handed to her lips. She lowered her eyes and took a slow sip. She felt something was strange.
Hesitating for a moment, his eyes moved and looked to the opposite side.
Dongfang Qingfeng's gaze was resting on her slender, perfectly curved red phoenix eyes.
When the head is lowered, the red phoenix eyes are inward and outward, with a very beautiful shape. When the eyes are straight, they are narrow and double in the fan shape.
Just like a real phoenix feather.
He looked at her silently.
When he noticed her looking over, he looked away and put the spoon back into the bowl.
The spoon lightly hits the bottom of the bowl and makes a crisp sound.
…
Yuan Ying hurriedly poured out the paste and cooked another batch.
I ran upstairs in a few steps and saw my ancestor sitting on the bed with an empty bowl on the cabinet.
She said in surprise: "Yeah, you drank the soup yourself? That's fine."
Although Que Qingyue was powerless, she was not ready to be bullied by Yuan Ying. She glanced sideways at her: "How do you speak?"
Yuan Ying's expression immediately softened and she smiled at her: "Haha, I didn't say anything."
She walked to the bed and bent down to make the bed for her ancestors.
Que Qingyue turned her eyes and saw some dust and stains on Yuan Ying's shoulders.
He asked casually: "What did you do just now?"
"Decoction the medicine." Yuan Ying pulled the quilt.
"What about before cooking the medicine?" Que Qingyue looked at her clothes and then at her face, sweating profusely: "Why are your clothes on your shoulders torn?"
After hearing this, Yuan Ying said, "Oh." She stood up straight.
Then he reached out and touched his shoulder, knowing that he couldn't hide it from his ancestors: "It's not because I didn't wake up for two days. You are idle anyway, so I went to the dock to carry sacks for two days..."
Yuan Ying got excited when talking about this. She took out a money bag from her waist and shook it in front of Que Qingyue's palm-sized face: "Ancestor, you are right. Carrying sacks at the dock is really profitable, and it's paid off every day. I I made 500 Wen in two days!"
"Five hundred coins? Two days?" Que Qingyue looked at the purse in her hand, and the copper plates inside rattled as she shook them.
Look at her excited look again.
She couldn't help but lower her head and sighed.
"Go check out tomorrow morning and let's go to Drunken Dragon City."
Yuan Ying's happy expression froze: "Why?" She said: "The doctor said you need to rest, and you have to lie in bed to rest for at least seven days."
Que Qingyue said in a low voice: "It's the same when I rest in the carriage."
Seeing that Yuan Ying wanted to say something else, she had to settle with her: "I know my body, it's fine, just take some tonics, no matter how cheap this inn is."
"A house of this size costs 150 cash a day. How many days can you last with the money in your hand?"
"Let's go to Zuilong City first, and then make plans when we get there." She said leaning on the bedside.
"Oh." Yuan Ying looked at her ancestor's pale face and silently put the money bag back into her sleeve.
In fact, she went to the pier not only to earn some money for food, but also to practice martial arts. For her, carrying rice bags was much easier than practicing martial arts. She could be worth ten people. She actually wanted to do it for two more days. After all, I work for 250 fen a day, but I still have 100 fen left after paying the rent...
If you can buy fifty steamed buns, you will make a profit.
If Que Qingyue knew her thoughts, he could probably only send her three words.
These two hundred and five...
See Yuan Ying going out with a bowl.
Only then did Que Qingyue close her eyes and enter the sea of consciousness.
The picture of the bright moon on the sea still hangs over the sea of her consciousness.
The "bright moon" seems to be much brighter again.
This gold-swallowing beast, the more merit it swallows, the more it becomes like a bright jade plate. If it continues to shine like this, it will really look like a bright moon.
There were some twinkling stars next to them, not many in number. Que Qingyue had counted them when she was bored before, a total of one hundred and twenty.
Looking at it now, it seems like a few are missing, but maybe she remembered it wrong.
After entering the sea of consciousness, the moon wheel began to flicker.
She was very enthusiastic, like a baby seeing her relatives. Although she had no legs, she inexplicably gave Que Qingyue the feeling that she was kicking her legs.
She estimated that this was a sign that it had taken advantage of it.
Although this thing swallowed merits too fiercely, she didn't hate it.
On the contrary, seeing it will make you feel happy and relaxed.
"Okay, don't say hello. Every time you come in, your eyes will be blinded." She thought casually.
The moon wheel immediately stopped flashing and hung quietly in the sky, illuminating her sea of consciousness.
When you don't swallow your merits, you are really obedient.
Que Qingyue waved her sleeve to the sky and looked at what the moon wheel had spit out today.
She knew that this plate required merit.
But no matter how necessary it is, we can’t be so deceptive!
Today it spit out a bunch of ingots.
The golden gold is twelvefold.
It's so good!
Did he know that she was short of money? He also knew how to tempt her by spitting out money!
Ten taels of gold can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.
But now to exchange for this gold, five thousand merits are needed.
crazy.
It's crazy!
It's a pity that she couldn't afford this incredible wealth. Que Qingyue waved her sleeves and left the sea of consciousness.
…
There is a big cellar between heaven and earth, and the world is cooked with charcoal.
A few days ago, it was cloudy and rainy in the mountains, and it was damp and cold. Today, the heat of midsummer has returned.
Not to mention the sweat on her back, Que Qingyue was so hot in the carriage that she held her forehead with her hands and sighed for the third time.
"Ancestor, how are you? Is my driving skills good?" Yuan Ying, the driver, was a little addicted. Liu Sichen came over and asked Yuan Ying to accompany her master in the car. She refused and insisted on her own. Rush.
Okay, if she likes to rush, just rush.
But unexpectedly, it is indeed much better than before.
"It turns out there is a trick to driving a carriage. I asked the coachman for advice. Don't worry, I won't let you take it again." She flicked the whip carefully this time and controlled the force.
Since the last time her ancestor broke her forehead, she actually asked the groom for advice and studied hard for two days.
The main reason is that the current ancestors cannot withstand any collision.
After vomiting blood for the past two days.
This body is even more fragile.
In just a few days, I saw that my face had become smaller again. The original oval face had almost become an oval face.
What a big slap...
Yuan Ying looked at her hand, which was almost as big as hers.
In the past, my ancestors always liked to say that he was a person who could fall down when the wind blew and be crushed by a hand, but at that time, it was only half-joking.
Now it's a prophecy.
Okay, now it really looks like it will fall if the wind blows, and it will break if the hand crushes it.
The haggard old lady would give her a hand when she saw him.
Que Qingyue sat in the car for a while, then lay down on her side. It was so hot that she had to close her eyes to rest.
Yuan Ying was full of energy and kept talking outside the car.
Que Qingyue couldn't sleep, so she just listened.
"...This is my first time going to Drunken Dragon City. I don't know what it's like. Ancestor, have you been there?"
Que Qingyue paid her no attention.
"I've never been there, but I've heard of it."
She said in the swaying car: "It is said that Zuilong City is a sea city. Its prosperity is second only to Fengyang. Post roads are connected in all directions, maritime trade is concentrated, Yi and Xia are mixed, and powerful people live there..."
"...I don't even understand what you said." Yuan Ying scratched her head with a riding crop.
"The summary can be summed up in four words: more people, more money."
"Oh, I should go and see it." Yuan Ying said happily: "I asked around and someone said that Zuilong City was originally a strait. Later, the city was built and named Zuilong because of the shape of the ground there. From a distance, it looks like a crouching dragon."
"Really? Then why isn't it called Wolong City?" Que Qingyue teased her casually.
"Well, I don't know about this. I only know that there is a kind of wine in the city that is particularly delicious. It is called Wolong wine, and there is another wine called Fengxiao. Both of these wines are specialties of Zuilong City. The locals call them Crouching Dragon and Phoenix..."
Que Qingyue chuckled, "Crouching dragon and phoenix chick?"
"Yes, ancestor, why are you laughing?"
"Did I laugh?"
"You obviously laughed."
"Oh, if I win one of the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks, I can conquer the world. It seems that the wine in Zuilong City is very strong." He is also very courageous, but he doesn't know who is the backer behind this city.
"Yeah, I think it's pretty good. The name is domineering. I'll definitely buy it and try it when the time comes."
Que Qingyue shook her head and said softly: "What a fool..."
Liu Sichen and Dongfang Qingfeng sat on the horse. In order to take care of the person in the car behind them, they both slowed down.
We were supposed to set off at 9am this morning and should arrive at Zuilong City at noon.
As a result, the afternoon application time has not yet arrived, and it is half past noon.
It is estimated that if we continue this way, we will not be able to enter the city until dark.
In the past, His Highness's temper would have been unbearable for a long time. He was used to being the pride of heaven and had arrogance in his bones. How could he walk in vain for a whole day under the sun?
But His Highness is quite calm today.
Yuan Ying, who was driving the car behind, kept talking, asking about her ancestors if she saw anything.
The people in the carriage didn't often talk to her. Occasionally, they would hear a lazy voice and try to deal with her.
Liu Sichen sometimes heard the conversation between the two, and he was also very happy to hear it. The two masters and servants, one is really stupid, the other is really smart, but they are a perfect match. People like Yuan Ying, who are stupid, are often ignored by her ancestors. She was having a lot of fun, and she didn't know the truth in the end, but she was quite happy. Her ancestors used her to relieve their boredom, and she was quite relaxed.
One word, absolutely.
He turned to look at his Highness. He had been Dongfang Qingfeng's companion since he was a child. After His Highness's accident, he followed him on the battlefield. Now he is the deputy general. It can be said that they are both young playmates and best friends. He is a friend who can live and die for him. He can be said to be the person who knows Dongfang Qingfeng best.
Look at the beauty among the flowers, and immediately look at the general.
Dongfang Qingfeng was already a bit domineering, but now he was riding on a horse. He had broad shoulders and narrow waist, he was tall, and his long legs were stepping on the stirrups casually. He was indescribably carefree and unrestrained. But now he was just holding the horse stiffly. , move forward slowly.
Liu Sichen followed behind and watched, then rode his horse closer and said, "Your Highness, it's getting dark. Should we speed up?"
"We'll be arriving at Zuilong City soon, there's no rush." Dongfang Qingfeng said nonchalantly.
Liu Sichen smiled: "General, you don't bother her anymore?"
"Who are you annoying?" Dongfang Qingfeng glanced at him sideways.
Liu Sichen glanced at the carriage behind him.
it goes without saying.
Dongfang Qingfeng also looked back, then raised his eyes and glanced at him, looking up and down: "You talk a lot today, Lieutenant General Liu? Are you very idle? Why don't you go first and go to Zuilong City to inquire about the past three months? information."
"Haha..." Liu Sichen pretended not to hear, and immediately pointed ahead and said: "I saw a tea shed. Your Highness, we have been walking for two hours, and my mouth is dry. Why not go and drink a bowl of herbal tea?" Take a rest before going on the road? I think Miss Que is also tired."
"Huh, whatever you want."
…
It was hot in the afternoon.
The tea shed next to the official road can park horse-drawn carriages. Most people passing by will take a rest here, drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat, and eat some refreshments to satisfy their hunger.
Que Qingyue stepped down from the carriage, and the wind happened to blow, so she covered her forehead with her hands.
The hair on her cheeks was fluttering in the wind, and when it covered her face, she looked inexplicably broken and fragile.
Yuan Ying held her hand with some caution.
Que Qingyue pushed the hair away from her face with her hands and adjusted her sleeves: "Let's go."
She was wearing a grass green plain dress with two layers of delicate cloud pattern embroidery on her shoulders. It might be a bit plain for others, but she wore it.
Extremely elegant and natural.
Clothes carry people, and people carry clothes, so naturally she is the latter.
The grass green looks fresh and refined when she wears it.
Yuan Ying has long been numb to the fact that the same clothes look good no matter how her ancestors wear them.
After all, although everyone has one head, two arms and two legs, they look similar, almost the same.
However, the difference is huge upon closer inspection.
Let me ask you, from head to toe, are every bone in the body beautiful, delicate, and perfect? Is the skin beautiful, delicate, and perfect? Is the temperament beautiful, refined, and perfect?
When the three are paired together, are they harmonious, symmetrical, and perfect?
It's almost, not even an inch away from that taste.
Maybe someone can achieve the harmony of these three, which is extremely close to perfection!
But it's no use.
Her ancestors were immortals.
The posture of heaven and man.
Can't compare.
Dongfang Qingfeng and the other four tied up their horses and sat down in the empty seats on the left side of the tea shed.
There were five tables set up in the shed, only two of which were occupied.
The open-air tea shed is simple and simple, with only a straw shed for shade, but the wind is blowing here and it is comfortable to look at the scenery.
Dongfang Qingfeng sat on the left side of Que Qingyue. After sitting down, he took the empty bowl from the table and placed it in front of Que Qingyue. Yuan Ying also wanted to take the bowl to her ancestor, but was stunned for a moment.
However, Liu Sichen on the side saw the opportunity and took a bowl and put it in front of her. Only then did Yuan Ying look at the waiter. She didn't know if there was anything to eat here.
When the waiter saw a distinguished guest coming, he immediately came over with a pot. Brown rice tea was cheap and refreshing.
A bowl only costs one copper plate.
The tea has long been cold.
When pouring tea for Que Qingyue, the nimble man almost spilled the tea. Fortunately, Dongfang Qingfeng reached out and lifted the spout of the teapot without spilling it.
Yuan Ying murmured next to him: "This guy is really interesting. If you don't look at the tea while pouring the tea, where would you be looking at it?" Then he looked at his ancestor's clothes, but luckily he didn't get any tea.
Que Qingyue picked up the tea bowl.
At this time, the breeze is gentle, the scenery is unique, and the nose is full of the fragrance of grass, trees and rice.
She saw the other three people holding bowls and drinking, so she lowered her head and took a sip.
As soon as he entered, he stopped.
She looked towards the room between the three people on the table.
Yuan Ying was not picky about food and drank half a bowl in one go. Dongfang Qingfeng and Liu Sichen drank it calmly, as if they were used to it.
It was just too hard for her to swallow.
Maybe I drink too much Peiyuan tea and get used to the smooth and soft taste of Peiyuan tea.
This brown rice tea was too astringent, so she sucked it for a while before swallowing it.
Liu Sichen saw that she looked wrong and asked, "Have you ever drank from this tea house girl? Is it a bit hard to swallow?"
Que Qingyue smiled politely: "...it's okay."
At this time, a group of young people passed by on the official road, entered the tea shed, and sat down at the table next to Liu Sichen and the four of them.
Several people had signs hanging on their waists, with the word "que" on them.
Que Qingyue originally had her back turned to them.
After the five people sat down, they drank tea and chatted. Someone with sharp eyes saw someone sitting at the table next to them.
Her long hair was draped down her back, and under the sun, her hair was shining brightly.
However, she actually also had the Que Celestial Master's medal hanging around her waist.
"Hey, someone hung up a wooden sign?"
Because he was so close, the man asked directly: "Which disciple of the Que Sect are you? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Yuan Ying glanced sideways at the man. He was probably a member of some aristocratic family. He was well-dressed.
Seeing that Zu Zong didn't answer, she came closer and said, "...he's from Quemen. I think he seems to be talking to you." Zu Zong.
Que Qingyue still held the teacup in her hand and didn't even look back.
She glanced at Yuan Ying and said, "I'm not deaf, so let's go."
"If he talks to me, should I reply to him?" Que Qingyue casually put the tea bowl back on the table and said calmly.
The man behind heard it.
So arrogant!
He stood up immediately, "You dare to go out without knowing the rules and hanging a wooden sign? Which Tianshi Academy are you from?"
"Is it possible that you are pretending to be a disciple of the Que Sect?"
He walked to the table opposite in two steps. He wanted to see who dared...
Que Qingyue put one arm on the table and the other on her side. When the man came over, Liu Sichen stopped him in front of the table.
She glanced at it casually and ignored it.
Lazily, he looked at the tea bowl in front of him again and studied the pattern on the bowl.
But the person who was still arguing just now froze when he saw the person hanging the wooden sign...
Liu Sichen felt like he had seen him before.
Just like my old self.
Okay, another one is stupid!
