"I didn't like you before, but we don't know each other until we fight, I."
Keyan Yue was getting excited when she spoke, and turned to look at Chu Shou. She tilted her head and leaned against the side wall of the carriage, enjoying the bumps in the road. She looked at the carriage in front of her out of the corner of her eye, a little absent-mindedly.
She then crossed her arms and crossed her chest, leaned back on the carriage, and said lightly: "If you care so much, why do you need to pretend to be magnanimous and push your sweetheart away? Come and sit in the carriage with me."
After hearing this, Chu Shou stood up slowly, raised his hand and got off the car curtain, lowered his eyes and said: "He and Miss Mu have official business, so why should I be so jealous?"
"Oh--it's not your bodyguard."
"It would be great if he were a guard, but he is no longer the same person as before." Chu Shou lowered his eyes and smiled again, and said in deep thought: "How could I have been the same person three years ago?"
"Let me tell you, I don't see any quarrel between the two of you, so why are you so pessimistic? He is the young master of the Wu clan and the princess of the Celestial Dynasty, so what if you directly appointed him as your husband-in-law?"
Chu Shou suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Keyan Yue with a smile. She turned her head and whispered: "What do you want me to do?"
"I don't want to force him. If he doesn't bring it up in person, no one's words will work." Chu Shou said in a deep voice, with a somewhat stubborn tone. The two of them were no longer what they used to be: collecting and buying medicine, and going out at sunrise.
Work, rest at sunset, open your eyes and close them, just the other person's face.
For two or three years, Hanyuan has been like a place to escape from reality. They can speak and do things according to their hearts. However, Hanyuan is not the destination for the two of them. Each of them has a heavy heart, so how can they be intoxicated and happy and forget to return.
Now that I have chosen to leave Hanyuan and face all this filth again, I have taken on my own identity. Life is like a chess game. You have no regrets about your moves. Once you have a thought, you should be fearless. Keep your head up and look forward. Don't be addicted.
There should be no more complaints about the past.
Naturally, she cannot be as wanton as she was then, and this title of princess has become a burden to her.
She knows all this.
The friendship that she cherished day and night has not come to fruition. Even before Azhi has made a living with her, she is already very satisfied...
Keyan Yue reached out and patted her shoulder, frowned and said sternly: "Love is a hollow thing, and it needs to be cultivated well. Don't worry, even though I am young, I can still see it.
What does loving or not loving have to do with worldly things?"
"Love is love, not loving means not loving. No matter how painful and tortured, there are only these two results. If you wait until the flowers fall and the water flows away, and then get drunk and feel the sorrow of spring and autumn, I really don't want to
I’ve made you my friend.”
Chu Shou listened and nodded, feeling in his heart that what she said made sense.
Keyan Yue patted her chest and said generously: "Don't worry, since I recognize you as a friend, I will naturally help you everywhere. Just wait and see."
The two looked at each other and smiled, completely forgetting yesterday's grudges, and suddenly felt that they had the same temperament. From then on, their souls burned brightly, and when they wandered around the world... at least there was someone who could help others...
Then the carriage drove for two hours without stopping. As soon as the group reached the city gate, they were stopped. There was a long queue of people who wanted to enter the city. They had to get off the car and walk, and the long queue followed.
.
The noisy sound in front woke everyone up, and the neighing of the horse scared Chu Shou to wake up. He held the carriage and sat up sleepily, "Huh? What happened?"
Keyan Yue also stretched, lifted the side curtain and looked out.
At this time, Ah Shui's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss, the water on the road ahead has not been cleared, and it is noon again. The officers and soldiers controlling the city gate seem to have refused to check, and they cannot continue to enter the city until noon."
"After noon? Just check the ultimatum. How much time will it take?" Ke Yanyue frowned and complained.
Chu Shou also stuck his head out and stretched his neck to look. Some were people living nearby. There were many carriages in front of them, and some were caravans. Those pulling goods under the banner of the escort agency were also lined up in the queue.
Before she could take it back, she saw Song Yanqing getting off the carriage in front of her and walking towards her.
Chu Shou waited for him, and when he came, he asked: "How is it? A Zhi is hungry?"
Song Yanqing stood up with her hands behind her hands and raised her eyes, her eyes gentle, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Chu Shou lowered his head and touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry..."
Then he handed over a mahogany box. After Chu Shou opened it, he found some exquisite pastries. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did you get these?"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, then handed the rest of the cakes to Keyan Yue in the car.
Seeing Chu Shou's praises, Song Yanqing couldn't hide his smile, curled his lips, raised his chin, and calmly said, "There is a real escort team in front of us who came back from the south of the Yangtze River. They are very complete."
As he spoke, a tall man with bronze skin, casually dressed, and unkempt walked up behind him. He led two men to carry a large box. There were various things in the box, including food and drinks.
, there are also some ornamental objects, hairpin rings, jewelry, clothes and fabrics, etc...
He walked back all the way, shouting and selling: "Yes! Sirs and ladies, we just came back from Jiangnan and bought a lot of things. We have everything. You are welcome to buy!"
Chu Shou lay on the side window of the carriage and watched him pass by, looking at his figure from a distance. Suddenly, her eyes were covered by a shadow. She raised her eyes, met Song Yanqing's gaze, and smiled.
Said: "What?"
Song Yanqing turned sideways again, turned away awkwardly, and said softly: "Nothing."
"I looked at him and was just wondering how on earth such a huge copper mine was secretly mined, smelted, and safely transported from Qingzhou to the pass?"
Not to mention the private opening of copper mines, it is not an easy task to refine the mined copper ore into copper concentrate, and copper mines are not just lucky. They can be successfully sent to other countries. I want to come here.
Most things have been planned for a long time, and the scope of the involvement is probably unimaginable.
Song Yanqing curled his lips, raised his hand to gently touch her frowning brow, and softly comforted her: "When you enter Qingzhou City, some of your doubts may be solved. Just treat it as if you are here for fun. I will handle everything."
As soon as she finished speaking, Keyan Yue bowed and walked out of the carriage, frowned and said to Song Yan: "Mr. Song, let's change to another carriage and sit in it. I will get angry just looking at her..."
Chu Shou:Thank you...

It was past noon, and the city gate was still not open. The originally bright sun gradually disappeared under the dark clouds, revealing a little bit of gray sky. It started raining again, hanging down like threads, and the autumn rain continued.
, I can’t help but feel annoyed. The weather was still good in the morning, but now it’s raining.
Mu Huashu came back from the city gate holding an umbrella. The city gate was still closed tightly, and the officers and soldiers were nowhere to be found. There was no place to ask questions, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
The mud splashed along the way fell into the ivory white dress, which was even more unpleasant. Mu Huashu shook the black line, flicked the sleeves and put his hands behind his back, turned around, and saw two people approaching.
Chu Shou was holding a pot of hot water in his hand, and when he saw Mu Huashu, he trotted over. Behind him, Wu Zhi walked slowly, a little absent-mindedly.
"Miss Mu? May I ask when can we set off?"
Before she could answer, Chu Shou stuffed a cup of hot water into her hand. The beauty held an umbrella, which was particularly eye-catching. However, the rain was ruthless and wet the beauty's clothes, which was really disgusting.
Chu Shou stared at her eagerly and said, "Miss Mu, drink first to warm yourself up. This autumn rain is really annoying."
Mu Huashu was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "There are no officers and soldiers in front, but I said it would be past noon, so it should be soon."
"My lord, why did you come out?" Mu Huashu turned to Song Yanqing who was behind Chu Shou, frowned slightly and looked at him and asked.
Wu Zhi huddled in his cloak, rubbing his hands, and the tip of his nose was a little red from the cold. He said in a muffled voice: "Who knew the autumn rain was so powerful? It's so cold and stuffy even in the car. Let's get out of the car and take a walk."
It's actually warmer."
"I should bring some attendants here for you." Mu Huashu said, turning his eyes and glanced at Chu Shou who was pouring water aside, and then looked at Song Yanqing, his tone sounded a little apologetic.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not that weak." Wu Zhi smiled and reached out to pat Mu Huashu on the shoulder, telling her not to worry too much.
"Young Master, why don't you give it to Mr. Song first?"
Keyan pushed back the tea bowl passed by Chu Shou, looking at Shen Yi's harsh and cold face, he didn't know why, but he didn't dare to accept the water brought by Chu Shou.
Chu Shou was confused, turned to look at Wu Zhi, opened his mouth, frowned, and said decisively: "He? He can drink it later."
After Song Yan listened, he rubbed his hands again, said "Okay", and supported the railing to get into the car. Only then did Keyanhui take the water, hold the hot bowl, and sip it in small sips.
Chu Shou was also about to get in the car, but was stopped by Mu Huashu, "County...Miss Chu, you are frail, please take good care of me."
Chu Shou paused and met Mu Huashu's worried eyes. Displeasure flashed through his eyes. When he turned his head again, his eyebrows were curved and his smile was bright. He responded sweetly: "Don't worry! Mu
Miss, I will take good care of Ah Zhi."
After saying that, he turned around, changed his face, darkened his face, and sat back in the car.
"Now, here it is, so you don't have to say I've wronged you." Chu Shou took out the small heater from his arms and stuffed it into Wu's hand.
Just now I saw that the heater in the carriage was no longer in use and gradually lost its temperature, so I thought of finding a nearby house to replace with a piece of charcoal. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhi insisted on following, so Chu Shou let him go and asked for it.
Bring a pot of hot water.
Wu Zhi sighed softly and frowned, "Well... the hand stove given by the princess is very warm."
"Huh? Yes, Mr. Song was ridiculous." Chu Shou curled his lips and smiled, reaching out to cover Wu Zhi's mouth but he stopped. He felt his hands were cold, so he took it back sarcastically.
Wu Zhi smiled, his eyes sly, showing his gleaming white teeth, his eyebrows arched, "Then what should I call you?"
Chu Shou looked into Wu Zhi's black eyes, and he was looking back at her intently, suddenly wanting to ask him.
What do you want to ask? She doesn't know, but that person's eyes seem to have some magical power, and they can see through people, suck them in, and then crush them.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
But his face was calm and he just looked at her lightly, but it also made her think a lot and made her eyes red inexplicably.
Chu Shou panicked, his heart palpitating so much, he laughed stupidly, turned around and opened the curtain, and murmured: "Why is it so slow? It's already past noon, isn't it?"
Wu Zhi rolled his eyes up and down, tightened his hands, turned his face to one side, and remained silent.
Finally, when the city gate was opened, everyone picked up the things they had put on the ground, sighed deeply, and the team walked forward slowly.
They pretended to be cloth merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, ate exquisite Jiangnan snacks bought from the local escort team, took the ultimatum pamphlet given by Qiuniang, and dealt with the layers of questioning from the officers and soldiers at the city gate.
"This is?"
An officer and soldier gently opened the curtain of the last carriage with two fingers and asked in confusion.
In the car, Cangcuo leaned against the side wall, and Yutong rested his head on her lap. Her face was covered by a veil, as if they were sleeping peacefully at this time.
"Going back to the official, this is my little sister and niece. They caught wind and cold when we went north and were dizzy. We came to Qingzhou this time just to find a place to see a doctor."
Brother and sister Keyan Hui and Keyan Yue also put on ordinary clothes. He got off the carriage, bowed his hands and explained gently.
Xiaoyu said as he opened the gap in the curtain and flew into the carriage. The officer and soldier quickly got off the curtain, turned over the ultimatum, looked at their entire caravan up and down, then handed the ultimatum to him, shook his head and said
: "There is Jiuzhaitang in the west of the city. There is an old doctor sitting there who has good medical skills. You can go there and have a look."
"Yes, yes." Keyan nodded, respectfully took the ultimatum and put it in his arms.
It wasn't until the carriage started to pass through the city gate that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The verification was not as strict as they thought and it was difficult to pass. Chu Shou looked at the announcement on the bulletin board about bandits scurrying from a distance, with two ugly stars painted on it.
The avatars are a man and a woman. These are not Cangcuo and Yuetong...
Asking Keyan to make excuses about his wife and daughter, he refused, and now his innocent little sister and niece just got away with it. I really don’t know if it’s luck? Or luck?
"Master Shen is probably being treated respectfully at this time, with big fish and meat, a fragrant couch and soft pillows, and beauties and wine by his side..." Chu Shou leaned against the side wall, looking out of the window with his peripheral vision, murmuring to himself.
Song Yanqing looked at the wandering Chu Shou, and smiled unconsciously. He rubbed the warm hand stove in his hand, patted his shoulder, and hinted that there was a "fragrant shoulder" here...
Chu Shou glanced at it, but didn't look at it. He used to get sick as soon as he arrived in Qiuli. At that time, he often leaned on her shoulder. She didn't look like this at that time, waiting for others to lean on her. Thank you, it is very popular.
?
Thank you, it is very popular.
This is a good opportunity to cultivate feelings that Ke Yanyue's selfless dedication bought for her... But he should be the one to take the initiative in this matter. In the past, it was just giving medicine when he was sick, and no matter how intimate he was, it was pure in her eyes.
The doctor-patient relationship was so strong that they didn’t even have time to say a word when they parted.
But things are so different now. He hugged her once in the palace and carried her once in Fodu Temple. What about his feelings? Are they also pure?
She didn't feel that she was that pure, but every time she met his eyes, Chu Shou always felt that she was a dissolute deceiver, and her mind was full of waste all day long...
Song Yanqing looked at Chu Shou with eyes wide open, thinking that she was still worried about the copper mine. Her brain was running rapidly, and she said a comforting sentence: "It doesn't matter, we will look for him as soon as we enter the city."
Chu Shou stood up, looked at him steadily, his eyes were dark and unclear, and asked in a puzzled and serious tone: "I really want to know, what are you thinking about every day?"
