Professor Li’s Married Life

The battle was huge, but because there were officers and soldiers clearing the way from the left and right, pedestrians on the street gave way spontaneously, so the carriages came along smoothly.

The speed of traffic in the city was not fast, and it took half an hour for the carriage to go out of the city gate.

The official road outside the city is spacious, and one line can go side by side, with Daye on the left and Yan Guo on the right.

Li Chengze's carriages here are also covered with blankets, and a layer of bamboo stalks are placed on the blankets, which is cool and comfortable.

There is a low wooden table in the middle. The wooden table holds an empty tea set. Because it is fixed by a square wooden frame and the like, the tea cup does not move when the carriage is walking.

Look again, there are two small wooden cabinets on the left and right sides of the carriage.

Gu Celadon opened one by one. There were dried fruits on the first floor, snack fruits on the second floor, tea leaves on the third floor, and the wooden cabinet on the other side as well. There was a kettle filled with water and some commonly used ones. thing.

Because he was going out with the prince, Li Cheng had told him to be simple early in the morning. He only needs to bring enough clothing and silver, but he didn't prepare anything else.

With many cars and horses, dust was raised along the way. Gu Celadon took a few glances outside and then put down the bamboo door and bamboo curtain.

She sat next to Li Cheng, leaned over, and whispered against people's ears: "I just saw the two princes have girls waiting by their side. I knew this was the case, so I should bring the jade pearl and jade shining."

When Li Cheng heard the words, he curled his fingers, tapped her forehead, and deliberately said: "I knew this, so I shouldn't have brought you here."

Gu Celadon acted like a baby: "Msang Gong..."

"No falsehood. I told you before that this road wall will definitely not be better. It is summer and it is very hot. There is no ice for you, and you can't escape the heat in the house. If you don't find an inn in the future, you want to use water. No, are you afraid of it? If you are afraid that I am not far away now, I will let Yuanbao send you back."

"I'm just talking about Xiang Gong." Gu Celadon muttered while pulling his sleeve.

"It's not okay to talk about it, people talk too much, if it's passed on by others, it's a trouble."

"Understood, I listened to him." Gu Celadon was still pretty well-behaved and admitted wrong.

Sit and be bored. After a while, Gu Celadon asked again, "Msang Gong, which road are we on? Where do we stop today?"

Li Cheng pulled out a map from the luggage he brought, spread it out in his hand and showed it to Gu Celadon: "Hey, this is the route. You can enter Barnyard County at night."

"Barnyard County, I know." Gu Celadon said. There seems to be a relative on her mother's side who is the magistrate of Barnyard County. "Have Xiang Gong ever been to Barnyard County?"

Li Cheng in Barnyard County also knew that the following people ordered the emperor to divide the area regularly, and the three surrounding villages, including Hekou Village, were included in Barnyard County.

Moreover, "Li Chengze" did go to Barnyard County, so Li Chengze replied: "I came here a few years ago. Before Hekou Village was zoned, Hekou Village was registered in Barnyard County, although Barnyard County is close to the capital. , But it is under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang Mansion, that is to say, next year for her husband to participate in Qiuwei and will go to Kaiyang Mansion."

"How can this be? Isn't it because you want to stay close and be far away, just in the capital?" Gu Celadon had never heard of this before, and now Li Cheng mentioned it, she was reluctant to get up.

Li Cheng said: "It's okay, Kaiyang Mansion is not far away, but it's not a big deal for three or four days."

"But it's still troublesome, not as convenient as the doorstep," Gu Celadon said.

This walk took more than an hour. At noon, when it was the hottest time, the convoy walked into the shade of a tree, and the three princes ordered the line to rest.

He didn't plan to light the fire to cook, but let the servants carry the dry food and distribute them one by one.

The carriage stopped by the tree, and Gu Celadon rolled up the bamboo curtain to look out, and asked curiously, "Why are there so many pancakes? Are they all prepared in the morning, but I can't help it in such a hot day."

Li Cheng was amused, "Silly girl, naturally it is impossible to prepare dry food all at once. It is just the number of these two days. The total number of this team is about 700 or 800 people. You have to eat a lot of food a day. Seeing a few grain trucks behind the team, a team of nearly a thousand people is out, so it’s not enough if there is no grain to prepare."

Where did Gu Celadon think about these things? When he was at home, he only asked Li Cheng to bring her with him. He didn't think about anything else.

They didn't settle down either, and Jian Pu brought a plate of four pancakes over.

Yuan Bao and the driver who drove the car sat outside together, took the plate for the master and handed it in, picking up his own pancake and biting it.

Gu Celadon said: "My husband, I don't want to eat this. There are snacks and fruits in the box."

Li Cheng didn't force her, even if she didn't eat snacks, she would spoil them.

People on horseback do not eat something dry and hungry, like this sturdy pancake, eat two and drink a few cups of tea, you will surely make the stomach support.

Gu Celadon held a delicate and small snack and put it to his mouth to eat one bite at a time.

Li Cheng took a cake casually and chewed it in his mouth.

"Msang-gong, you can have a snack with me, that's not delicious."

As Gu Celadon spoke, he picked up a snack and put it in Li Chengze's hand.

Li Cheng smiled: "It's okay, the dessert is too sweet, I can just eat this pancake, why don't officials pour a cup of tea for the husband?"

Gu Celadon quickly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, then opened a jug next to it that was screwed up on the floor, refilling the white porcelain jug on the small table, and then filled Li Chengze with a glass, "Xiang Gong, drink quickly."

This is the cold water that has been boiled first, and there is not so much attention on the road.

Gu Celadon was full after eating three snacks, and the rest was still in the box.

Gu Celadon put a pillow on it while not driving, and took a rest in the car.

In fact, it’s better when the carriage is moving. There will be wind blowing from the outside, and the carriage will be even more sultry when it stops.

Not long after, Gu Celadon sweated his forehead. Li Cheng saw it, so he had to take out a clean veil to wipe her, and then took a fan and beat her, sighing, "But I know Are you tired?"

Instead, Gu Celadon smiled at him and said sweetly, "I'm not tired."

Li Cheng could only pinch her nose.

After the repairs were completed, the convoy soon moved forward, and the speed was faster than in the morning. It should be because they wanted to enter Barnyard County before nightfall.

Gu Qingci slept in a daze, but Li Chengze woke her up, fearing that she would not be able to sleep at night after sleeping too much.

While playing Go, accompanied the girl in the next period, coaxing her to cheer up.

In the afternoon, I didn't stop all the way until Youshi finally arrived at Yixian County.

Naturally, the six hundred soldiers camped in the outskirts to rest, and only a team of twenty guards guarded the three princes.

They found the best and largest restaurant and inn, packed all the remaining rooms, and a group of people moved in.

After a day's journey, everyone is hungry and tired. In an instant, a table downstairs was set up to fill up all these people, and people went along and ordered the second one to bring up the good wine and food.

Gu Celadon had no appetite when she was tired, but Li Chengze coaxed her to eat a lot and put a lot of fish and vegetables on her.

Now I can still eat a bite of something hot and fresh, and there are still so many ways to go. I don’t know what the situation is, I can eat it quickly while there is a place.

After dinner, the two princes were led by the servants to the Tianzi room on the third floor.

Li Chengze and several other people accompanying them chose a room on the second floor alone.

Li Cheng casually recruited a shop assistant and gave him some money to send a bucket of hot water. After receiving the money, Li Cheng happily agreed, "Guest officer, don't worry, hot water will be delivered to you right away."

The two of them took a bath and lay in bed to rest. Gu Celadon was sitting in the carriage for a day and suffered from a lot of backache and back pain, but she also endured no sound. But Li Cheng didn't know how it was, but since she came out, she must It will be a bit harder for the first two days to suffer from this crime, and it will be fine when you get through it.

Li Cheng didn't say a word on the face, but still felt distressed. Gu Celadon lay next to her with his hand, Li Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed her back with his big palm for a while.

Gu Celadon had his face buried in the first place, so he slowly tilted his head and glanced over and shouted: "Msang Gong..." His mouth was slumped, his eyes were filled with misty water vapor, and his voice was crying that he didn't know. As soon as he called out, tears fell out.

Li Cheng picked her up a little, Gu Celadon wiped tears with the back of his hand, and buried his face in Li Chengze's chest.

After a long while, I said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Li Cheng stroked her back and whispered: "What apology, what on purpose?"

Gu Celadon has a nasal voice: "I didn't cry on purpose, I don't hurt either, really."

"Okay, it doesn't hurt." Li Cheng followed her words.

The two spoke in a low voice, one followed the other's words, and the night gradually deepened, and soon they both fell asleep.

No dream for a night.

The next morning, I got up and took care of it. Everyone went downstairs, had breakfast, and set off again after checking out.

Gu Celadon only looked at the streets of Barnyard County from the window of the carriage. It was quite lively. There were already many people setting up stalls in the morning, including noodles and bun shops, as well as those selling tofu and butter tea. .

Yuan Bao wakes up early in the morning, and Li Cheng asks him to go out and buy more food.

No, as soon as I got in the car, I almost brought a few baskets of things, many snacks, various sauces of beef jerky, dried plums and raisins, and a lot of snack fruits.

There is also a basket with things wrapped in oil paper, which is steaming hot.

Li Cheng smiled when he saw it. I'm afraid he bought all the buns from other people.

So he said: "Solve it yourself."

Yuan Bao smiled: "Thank you, master." Then he shared the food with the uncle driver. There were eight buns with big fists, and one person ate four.

Gu Qingci blinked while looking at him, really afraid of choking, and couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and drink some water."

Yuan Bao smiled with white teeth, "My grandmother, this won't choke me, my small appetite is good."

Gu Celadon couldn't help laughing softly.

——

Just as Li Cheng said, it was really difficult a few days before the journey, and I got used to it when I got through it slowly.

Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and walk all the way from Daye Capital. It took more than 30 days from early August to early September.

Finally, the Julian Mountains are coming.

The motorcade stood at the entrance of Yulian City, and almost all of them breathed out a sigh of relief when they looked at the mountain range in front of them.
