Facing the confused expression on the guard's face, Yu Hanjiang had to pretend that nothing happened - he didn't want to bring his wife with him before because he was afraid that having an inexplicable woman around would affect the handling of the case. Now, since his wife is Xiao Lou, why not bring him with him?
? Of course I want to take it with me and be inseparable from my wife.
The guard couldn't understand Master Yu's thoughts, so he turned around and looked for the carriage.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou walked side by side towards the door.
He was an upright official, so he lived in a small place and had not many servants at home. In addition to his two confidants Yun Cang and Ping'er, he also had a cook, Mrs. Li, a housekeeper named Yao Bo, and two
Nursing home.
Thinking that Xiao Lou was going to the street to buy clothes, Yu Hanjiang whispered in his ear, "We have to ask the housekeeper for some money. The common currency in the ancient world should be silver."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "As far as I know, your salary as an official is not high. Our family doesn't seem to have much money?"
Yu Hanjiang rubbed his nose and said, "Clothes are still affordable."
After walking around the corner, they happened to meet Butler Yao. The middle-aged man in his forties came to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou and said respectfully, "Sir, I will leave for Jiangzhou tomorrow. The things I need to bring have been prepared. Do you want to take a look?"
?”
Yu Hanjiang said, "No, I feel relieved that Uncle Yao is doing the work." He glanced at Xiao Lou and said, "I want to take my wife to buy some clothes."
Butler Yao immediately handed him a money bag and said with a smile, "Sir, this is a hassle on the road."
Yu Hanjiang took the money bag, weighed it, and turned around to go out with Xiao Lou.
The housekeeper looked at the backs of the two people leaving side by side and thought with a smile, Your Excellency and Madam have such a good relationship!
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were walking side by side on the street. In addition to buying clothes, they also wanted to take a look at the environment of the world.
Xiao Lou was very interested in history when he was in middle school. In the five thousand years of Chinese history, there was no Daqi Dynasty with four kingdoms. Obviously, this was an imaginary dynasty, and many rules were made by the gatekeepers.
As the capital of Daqi, the streets of the Imperial Capital are very prosperous, and the pedestrians coming and going look very energetic. They must be living a prosperous life.
The streets in ancient times were not as wide as modern ones, and they seemed a bit crowded when walking among the crowds.
A passing vendor was carrying two baskets of gadgets and accidentally bumped into Xiao Lou. He apologized hastily, "Madam, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now. Are you okay?"
Xiao Lou smiled good-naturedly and said, "It doesn't matter."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at him, then naturally stretched out his hand to hold him, and whispered, "We are playing the role of a loving couple. We can't be too far away. If we meet an acquaintance, we will be suspected."
This reason could not be refuted. Xiaolou'ergen felt hot, but it was not easy to struggle.
Looking back, this is the second time they have held hands. Previously at the Intelligence Bureau, his feet suddenly collapsed. Xiao Lou grabbed Yu Hanjiang's hand to maintain his balance in desperation, but now it was Yu Hanjiang who took the initiative to grab his hand... It was even.
?
Xiao Lou followed Lord Yu in confusion.
The handsome and upright young official was shopping with his gentle and beautiful wife. Their appearance was so outstanding that they quickly attracted the attention of many people.
Xiao Lou discovered that there was a dazzling array of merchandise on the streets in ancient times, many of which were gadgets he had never seen before.
The heads of women coming and going were covered with jewelry. Xiao Lou thought of his complicated bun and then looked at the neat braids on Yu Hanjiang's head. He couldn't help but have a headache and said, "Can I change into men's clothes? In ancient times, there weren't many women who went out.
Do you dress up as a man when you are there?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "I don't know if it will work. Give it a try?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a warning popped up in the floating box - Xiao Lou's identity in the secret room world is the prefect's wife. During the identity play, please do not change your gender at will.
Xiao Lou said helplessly, "Okay, let's go pick out some women's clothes that are easy to move around."
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "I've wronged you."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just clothes."
There are many shops selling clothes on the roadside, where you can choose fabrics and have them customized, but they are leaving tomorrow and don’t have enough time, so they have to buy finished products. Xiao Lou walked into a shop and asked with a smile, "Are there any ready-made clothes?"
When the shopkeeper saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Yu, there are clothes in your size over here."
It seems that I have often come here to buy clothes before, and the shopkeeper knows him.
Xiao Lou followed the store owner. The clothes he was wearing were light pink. He really couldn't wear such a girly color.
The ready-made clothes were neatly arranged on the hangers. He had a headache just looking at the layers of long skirts. The bright red and purple colors were really eye-catching. He would probably scare his teammates if he wore a bright red skirt to Jiangzhou.
stay.
Xiao Lou asked, "Are there any lighter colors?"
The shopkeeper opened a door and took him into another room. "Ma'am, please come this way. They are all light-colored."
Yu Hanjiang also followed over to help Xiao Lou. He took a fancy to a moon-white gown with light blue moire patterns embroidered on it. The whole outfit was simple and elegant. Even with the moire decoration, it would not look too plain, and there were no complicated patterns.
He thought Xiao Lou would like the pleated skirt, so he said, "Let me try this set on Madam."
The shopkeeper immediately took it off and took Xiao Lou into the fitting room.
Xiao Lou changed out of the complicated light pink skirt and put on new clothes. This suit only had two layers, it was not complicated to wear and the color was elegant. It could be worn by both men and women. He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and walked out
Want to look in the mirror.
There were no full-length mirrors in ancient times, only bronze mirrors. He couldn't see clearly, but he thought the size was quite suitable.
But Yu Hanjiang's eyes suddenly lit up——
Isn’t this too pretty?
When Professor Xiao is wearing men's clothing, he gives off the impression of being elegant. When he puts on women's clothing and wears a simple bun, he looks a little gentler. Especially when he smiles, his gentle and elegant temperament is simply amazing.
It makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou intently.
Xiao Lou felt guilty when he saw him, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is it weird?"
The corners of Yu Hanjiang's lips raised slightly, "It's not strange, it's pretty good-looking."
The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "Madam, you are so beautiful. This dress suits you very well! This is our new arrival. There is only one piece left. Madam, please buy it."
Yu Hanjiang simply took out his wallet and said, "Just buy this set. Are there any similar ones? Choose another set for him to wear."
The shopkeeper turned around and diligently pulled out another set of light blue ones and gave them to Xiao Lou.
After coming out of the clothing store, Xiao Lou, who was wearing new clothes, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's much better than the one just now. At least I won't trip when I walk. Besides, the one just now was pink, and I was really... cough,
No shame to wear."
Looking at Xiao Lou's smile, Yu Hanjiang's heart beat like a drum.
I never thought that Xiao Lou would look so good in women's clothes. I never thought that such a good-looking Xiao Lou would now be his wife.
At the mention of the word "Madam", Yu Hanjiang's hard heart had already softened into a ball. He held Xiao Lou's hand and couldn't bear to let go.
He liked this role-playing. If the future Chamber of Hearts is this kind of role-playing mode, he would be happy to play 100 Chamber of Hearts.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a luxurious carriage running rampant on the street. Yu Hanjiang immediately took Xiao Lou into his arms to protect him. As a result, the carriage happened to stop in front of him. A pair of slender hands opened the curtain and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Yu?"
When Yu Hanjiang saw this person, memories of her immediately came to mind.
The late emperor originally planned to marry the unruly and willful Ninth Princess to him, but he made excuses to reject it. The Ninth Princess was very petty and resented him ever since, always finding fault with him.
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and said, "Princess."
The Ninth Princess glanced at Xiao Lou with hostility and said with a mocking smile, "This is Mrs. Yu? She is indeed outstanding in appearance. No wonder Master Yu is fascinated by you. Even if you marry into the Yu family and have no heirs for four years, he will
I won’t divorce you.”
Xiao Lou "..."
What kind of mess is this? Four years of marriage and no children? It should be a plot setting. I think so, they go to Jiangzhou to handle a case, they can't still hold a baby, right?
Xiao Lou couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but on the surface he had to continue acting. He smiled politely at the Ninth Princess, and was about to speak, but Yu Hanjiang responded coldly, "My wife and I don't need to worry about the family affairs of the princess."
Princess Ninth's eyes widened: "You!"
Yu Hanjiang pulled Xiao Lou and turned around to leave, "I have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany the princess."
Seeing Yu Hanjiang leading his wife away, the Ninth Princess was extremely angry and immediately said to the maid beside her, "Go back and prepare, I am going to Jiangzhou too!"
After returning home, the two of them entered the house and closed the door.
Xiao Lou joked, "Is that Ninth Princess interested in you?"
Yu Hanjiang frowned unhappily, "According to the plot, the year when I won the first prize, the late emperor wanted to betroth her to me, but I liked you at the time, so I made excuses to reject her."
As soon as the words came out, both of them were startled.
According to the plot, Yu Hanjiang liked Xiao Lou, so he said it naturally, but after saying it, he suddenly felt guilty.
Like, it was the first time he said this word, and it was also the first time he carefully considered his feelings for Xiao Lou. Perhaps, he didn't just regard Xiao Lou as a friend. How could friends hold hands? But he held Xiao Lou but
Not repulsive at all, but reluctant to let go...
Facing Xiao Lou's clear eyes, Yu Hanjiang immediately looked away, coughed slightly and said, "The plot setting of this secret room is quite strange. Princess Ninth... You don't need to pay attention to her. I'm not familiar with her at all. Gatekeeper
It’s just a plot character forced into it.”
Xiao Lou said thoughtfully, "She may promote the development of the plot, and maybe she will follow us to Jiangzhou. By the way, are there any clues in Jiangzhou now?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "After His Majesty asked me to go to Jiangzhou, he went to the Zhenjiang Palace to see the Eighth Prince, and gave me a secret letter to pass on. In addition, His Majesty said that the situation in Jiangzhou was complicated, and he arranged a group of dead soldiers to protect us.
I can use the token to mobilize those dead soldiers."
Xiao Lou remembered the reminder when entering the secret room. Many attack card skills were disabled. In addition, His Majesty sent people to protect them. It was obvious that there were many crises in Jiangzhou. Not only did they have to solve the case, but they might also face life-threatening danger.
It is indeed an A-level secret room, and the difficulty level has been directly upgraded.
Xiao Lou said, "Look at the card pack. Are all your weapon cards disabled?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Well, I checked the card pack when I saw the floating box prompt. Functional prop cards such as the invisibility cloak and night pearl are still usable, but the guns, sabers, and daggers all turned into unusable gray."
Xiao Lou frowned, "Everyone else's attack cards should also be banned. Once we are in danger, you can only mobilize the dead soldiers arranged by His Majesty, as well as your bodyguard Yun Cang... I have a hunch that over there in Jiangzhou
, maybe someone doesn’t want you to be the prefect, maybe we will be assassinated.”
The situation in Jiangzhou is still a mystery at the moment. They can't go to Jiangzhou tomorrow, and everything will have to wait until there.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a day off today. The first day in the Chamber of Hearts is usually reserved for us to get familiar with the environment. We carefully sort out the settings of this world."
Yu Hanjiang naturally agreed, and he took Xiao Lou to the study room.
His study room has a wall of bookshelves with many books. Fortunately, the words on the books are in traditional Chinese and can be read. In addition, there is a map hanging on the wall.
There are four countries in this world: Qi, Chu, Zhao, and Yan. The south of Da Qi is bordered by Zhao State, and Jiangzhou is near the border. Qi and Zhao have adopted the strategy of "harmony" to form an alliance with each other.
The west of Da Qi is adjacent to the State of Yan. There are constant wars on the border between Qi and Yan. Your Majesty specially sent a General Zhengxi to resist the invasion of the State of Yan on the front line. The life and death of Xiao Lou's younger brother is also unknown on the front line.
As for the Chu State, it is located in the remote north and is very low-key. Its relations with the other three countries are neither good nor bad.
The situation in the Four Kingdoms Dingli was very complicated. The two of them read a lot of books to understand the setting of this world. It was not until the maid called for dinner at lunch time that Yu Hanjiang took the map off the wall and put it in his bag. In the afternoon, he packed some luggage.
Several servants were arranged, the time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou played the role of husband and wife, and of course they slept together in the master bedroom.
But there is only one bed in the bedroom, and the ancient bed is not like the modern 1.8-meter double bed, which is a bit crowded.
Yu Hanjiang originally wanted to lay the floor, but asking the maid to help him get another bedding would definitely arouse suspicion. He thought about it, gave up the idea, and asked Xiao Lou, "Do you mind if we sleep together?"
Xiao Lou's heart skipped a beat and his ears burned, but his face pretended to be nonchalant, "It doesn't matter. Since we are playing husband and wife, we should follow the rules and don't show our flaws."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Then rest. We have to get up early tomorrow and go on the road."
Xiao Lou was lying on the bed, and Yu Hanjiang pretended not to mind and lifted the quilt and lay beside him. They both took off their coats and wore white underwear and underwear to sleep side by side. There was only one quilt, and they were in the same bed.
It's really embarrassing...
Xiao Lou's hands were placed neatly by his sides, his legs were straight, and he felt like he was sleeping like a corpse.
Yu Hanjiang also looks at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose...
He has never been so close to anyone since he was a child, let alone sleeping in the same bed.
Xiao Lou's breath was by his side, and Yu Hanjiang was wearing only a thin layer of pajamas. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's paws. He could feel his heartbeat gradually slowing down.
The room was dark, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Lou. Under the dim moonlight, his eyelashes were long and thick, and his pale pink lips looked particularly soft, making people couldn't help but think...
Xiao Lou noticed the sight from the side, opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter, Captain Yu?"
Yu Hanjiang's voice was hoarse, "Don't call me Captain Yu. If you get used to being heard, we will reveal your secret."
Xiao Lou thought about it and changed his mind and said, "Then... call me husband?"
Yu Hanjiang smiled, "According to the identity setting, this is what I should be called."
Xiao Lou's ears turned slightly red and he said, "How about... I call you Han Jiang in private? It shouldn't be a big deal if a couple calls you by your first name." It's really shameful to call you husband in private. He can't play such a role.
.
Yu Hanjiang's heart skipped a beat - it was the first time Xiao Lou called his name Hanjiang.
The two words were spoken by Xiao Lou's soft and gentle voice, which sounded like a joy.
Yu Hanjiang readily agreed, "In front of others, I call you Husband. In private, you call me Hanjiang and I call you Xiaolou."
Xiao Lou nodded.
Yu Hanjiang said softly, "Go to sleep, it's just a plot, don't think too much."
Xiao Lou said "Hmm" and closed his eyes.
Unfortunately, no one could fall asleep.
Who can sleep under the same quilt, with someone lying under the quilt who makes their heart beat faster?
If they moved their bodies a little, they might touch each other. Therefore, both of them seemed to have their acupuncture points tapped, not daring to move at all.
Both of them were thinking about when it would break. It would be too hard to sleep in the same bed!
