"This... the shopkeeper said not to let us move around." Lian Xin was a little tangled, while Qing Yi said, "What if our identity is revealed?"
"What's the point of walking around without leaving the palace?" Kun Xing added with an indifferent look on his face: "We are dressing up as maids. Could it be that Sun Houhou's sharp eyes saw through us at a glance? Besides, what if he saw through us? He saw through us."
She still has to give me gifts!"
Hearing what she said, Lian Xin and Qing Yi agreed. The three of them disguised themselves briefly and left the room. Zhu Cixiang looked at them and asked, "Where are you going?"
Kun Xing then whispered, Zhu Cixiang rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Go, go, you look like you have never seen the world."
Everywhere Chang Yu passed by during his patrol, some were happy and some were worried. The most worried person didn't know it, but the happiest one was Zhu Zhi'e. People in love wished they could get tired of being together all the time, but she couldn't. She could see through the autumn water and wait.
It took several months to go to Beijing in secret, and after a long wait, I had a quick meeting with Chang Yu and then returned to Taiyuan. Then I waited eagerly for more than a month before finally meeting my enemy.
But no matter what, there were so many people in the palace that she couldn't get too close. She could only take a close look to relieve the pain of lovesickness. A look or even a raised eyebrow from the other party could make her happy for a long time. She just hoped that she could take the opportunity to treat him well when he was on official business.
Accompany yourself.
As the favorite girl of King Jin, Zhu Zhi'e usually behaves informally and is not the kind of person who stays indoors for a whole day without going out. But these days, she really doesn't go out or take any steps, just because the princess issued a stay-at-home order.
, let her pay attention to the impact.
After all, there are still guests living in the palace. It doesn't matter that Chang Yu is an acquaintance and is informal, but he has dozens of followers and the Minister of War, Shi Kefa, are all there. If a princess is rash or disrespectful, it will be embarrassing.
Jin Palace.
Therefore, the princess, who had always wanted to find Chang Yu secretly, had no choice but to sit in the house and be a prostitute while thinking about her thoughts. A smile appeared on her lips from time to time, and her maidservants lowered their heads and snickered when they knew what she was thinking.
There were voices outside. The maid went out to look and came back and said that it was Chang Yu's maid who came to borrow needlework and wanted to learn how to be a nv. Zhu Zhi'e might not have noticed it, but she immediately took notice of Chang Yu's people and quickly asked a few people to do so.
When I came in, my eyes suddenly lit up. There was such a pretty girl hiding next to my damn enemy. Well... the two next to me were not bad. I felt a little jealous in my heart, but it was just jealousy, not jealous.
"Hey, the Taoist bun you are wearing, could it be that you are a Taoist?" Zhu Zhi'e saw Lian Xin for the first time, and then her attention was on Qing Yi. She had heard that there was a very powerful Taoist priest next to Chang Yu, but she did not expect that there was a Taoist nun.
: "Could he be Li Muchian's apprentice?"
Qing Yi made a knot, nodded slightly, and shook his head: "Daozhang Li is only famous but has not been seen before."
Zhu Zhi'e said: "I heard that there are many strange people around him, including monks, Taoists, beggars and knights, all of whom have strange skills. I wonder what the Taoists are good at?"
Qing Yi thought for a moment: "They said Pindao is very good at fighting..." Zhu Zhi'e snorted. You don't look like you can fight, but it makes sense. He loves to fight and kill the most."
"Are the princess familiar with my governor?" Kun Xing has been silently observing the princess of the Jin Palace. Listening to her expression when talking about Chang Yu, he always felt something was different and wrong, because Zhu Zhi'e was talking about "him"
"Rather than Eunuch Chang or the like.
Zhu Zhi'e glanced at her, she was just a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old: "When he came to Taiyuan to supervise the war at the beginning of the year, we fought alongside him, so we are familiar with her."
"Fighting side by side? Could it be that the princess is a female general who also went to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Kun Xing was startled, and Zhu Zhi'e smiled: "What female general? I can't even lift a knife, I just follow him to run errands and do odd jobs."
When it came to Chang Yu, Zhu Zhi'e's eyes were full of tenderness. Princess Kunxing finally felt something. Women's feelings in this regard are particularly sensitive and accurate, let alone women who have the same feelings for the same person.
"The princess seems to like my governor very much." Kun Xing pretended to test it casually. Zhu Zhi'e was startled and then said: "Eunuch Chang is a young hero. Who in the whole country doesn't like him?" He stared at Kun Xing and said: "Little girl
What's your name?"
Humph, you dare to call me little girl! Kun Xing felt unhappy, but he still smiled and replied: "My name is Ajiu, and my family governor gave me my name." When he said this, his face looked smug and proud.
However, Zhu Zhi'e didn't seem to notice. She asked the maid to get them some snacks and tea, and then asked Qing Yi and Lian Xin's names, just chatting like this. However, the topic always turned around to Chang Yu, and she didn't mention a female celebrity.
Zhu Zhi'e wanted to know more about Chang Yu from these three girls, while Princess Kunxing kept testing her relationship with Chang Yu.
When a man drinks, he has to make a plate of peanuts to go with the food. A woman has to do some handicrafts such as needlework, weaving, embroidery, and sewing. Children from poor families like Lian Xin only know how to needle and thread.
In terms of work, Tsing Yi is slightly better at weaving, but embroidery is mostly something that only ladies can do, and it is also a required course for virtuous ladies like Zhu Zhi'e and Princess Kunxing.
The girls were chattering in the palace, having fun while chatting away from home, each having their own thoughts and dreams. In the other courtyard, Zhu Cixiang still listened with interest to Wang Zhengnan talking about his military and political career.
It was already evening when Chang Yu left the governor's office. The sky was cloudier, the wind was stronger, and it was colder.
This afternoon, he met several officials who surrendered in the Yamen, which made his head grow bigger. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and became the treasurer. He asked officials from the Sanfa Department to take over and ordered him to work in the Yamen on a twelve-hour shift. Three days later
Those with criminal records who did not surrender were ordered to be arrested and tried in court.
It was a windy and cold day, but there were many people on the street, all coming and going in a hurry. There were many beggars crouching under the eaves in the corners of the streets and alleys. There were also many refugees begging outside the wine shops, inns and brothels. Chang Yu clasped his hands behind his back and looked unhappy.
Bu Bei strolled down the street, with Lao Jiu, Jia Waixiong and the Chen brothers leading a retinue behind him.
Chang Yu sometimes stopped at the door of the restaurant, sometimes looked in front of the brothel, or chatted with the street vendors, or even squatted and chatted with the beggar. Finally, he discovered one thing... It was really cold this year, but
People these days are very resistant to cold!
Maybe it’s because they are generally poor and don’t have thick clothes to wear, but they are indeed cold-resistant.
For example, Chang Yu couldn't do it. He still felt cold even after wearing several layers.
He remembered that in later generations, when he was a child, it was very cold but he was quite resistant to freezing. However, when he grew up, the weather was not so cold and he had all kinds of warm clothes, but he found that his body was not so cold-resistant.
It seems to be the same as drug resistance. If you stay in cold weather for a long time, you will gradually develop cold resistance. In this era, when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, you have less clothes to keep warm, and you gradually develop cold resistance. If the people of later generations come, no matter what
It's weird how cold it is.
Hey, isn't he from the later generations? Chang Yu shrank his neck, turned to Kuang Ren and the others behind him and said: "It's still a while before dinner starts at the palace, why don't you find a place to drink two cups to warm yourself up first?"
”.
"Okay, some of you can't help but grin." Kuang Ren pointed towards the north: "There is a guest building over there with good food and wine..." Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by Chang Yu: "
You take it seriously! No matter how good the food and wine are, how about the wine and food in the palace?"
That's true. Several people laughed, but suddenly they heard a harsh voice coming from the street: "The wine and food in the Wangfu are good, but are you worthy of drinking them? Are you good enough to drink them?"
Everyone turned around and saw a group of people in front of a restaurant on the roadside with mocking faces.
