I want to cultivate swordsman

Chapter 81: Overnight

nasty?Zhao Liangcai didn't think so, in his opinion, he should be upper class.

Gu Qingyue called Xiao He, and the green-clothed maid lowered her head and said nothing, obviously realizing her slip of the tongue.

Zhao Liangcai didn't care about it, and said with a playful smile: "Actually, what I want to see the most is not the oiran, but our princess Qianyuan. I heard that she is more beautiful than a fairy. It would be worth it if I could meet her once." okay."

Hearing this, the maid in green couldn't help muttering again: "Princess doesn't just meet when you meet."

This is true, most of the Qianyuan imperial family stayed in the palace, and ordinary people could not see each other at all. Zhao Liangcai was the second generation of the top official in Lin'an County, but when he went to the capital, he was no different from ordinary people.

Zhao Liangcai was also clear about it, he took out the folding fan at his waist and said: "I know that, but on the day of Shangyuan Festival, our Princess Qianyuan will accompany the emperor to cruise around the capital on a dragon boat. Is it here, I can't tell..."

"What are you not sure about?" the servant girl asked, raising her eyelids.

Zhao Liangcai snapped open the folding fan, and said rather narcissistically: "Maybe someone caught my eye in the crowd and asked me to go to the palace to be a consort."

At the end of the speech, Zhao Liangcai seemed to have imagined such a picture in his mind, and couldn't help smiling silly.

The maid in green also laughed, covering her mouth and laughing non-stop.

Xu Zhiqiu also thought it was a little funny, but it wasn't because Zhao Liangcai wanted toads to eat swan meat, but because he always carried a folding fan with him wherever he went, and fanned fans regardless of season.

Gu Qingyue reminded: "When you come to the capital, you can't say this casually, or you will cause trouble."

Zhao Liangcai shook the folding fan and said, "Sister Qingyue, don't worry, I still know this. It's not far from the capital, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

The green-clothed servant girl said: "Then just say what you say, why are you fanning in winter, people are freezing to death."

After saying this, Zhao Liangcai scratched his head in embarrassment, closed the fan and put it back on his waist.

In the evening, the convoy drove a hundred kilometers along the official road. There was a small village nearby. When the convoy came over, it attracted many children to watch, and a few naughty ones picked up stones to smash the wheels of the car, but it was very difficult. He quickly ran away under the scolding of the elders.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The wild dogs in the village started barking wildly when they were far away. Affected by this, the free-range ducks in the farm ran away in groups, and the villagers standing by the road stared at the carriage and pointed, Not sure what is being said.

In the carriage, Zhao Liangcai's mouth was never idle. This guy was like a chatterbox, always having endless topics to talk about.Xu Zhiqiu only felt the noise and didn't participate in it, and closed his eyes most of the time.

The coachman opened the curtain and said, "Miss, it's getting late, do you want to spend the night in this village?"

It is very unsafe to drive at night, and Gu Qingyue knew it, so she replied after a little hesitation: "Then find a place to stop, but there should be no inn in this small village, you go ask someone about it." Let’s see which one is willing to spare some rooms for us to live in, and we can pay more.”

"Oh, I see." The coachman responded, and the speed of the convoy slowed down.

This village is not big, and there are probably more than 300 households. The coachman asked the guards to inquire. It is impossible for there to be any inns here, but they are all poor country people. As long as they give some money, they will sleep on haystacks. Also willing to vacate the bedroom.

So after paying some money, three neighboring houses were leased. The guards and grooms lived in the houses on both sides, while Gu Qingyue and Xu Zhiqiu lived in the middle house.

After settling down, the coachmen fed the horses with water and food, while the guards were busy patrolling. Two of them who knew how to cook were in charge of dinner. There was food in the carriages, so there was no need to borrow them from the villagers.

However, Zhao Liangcai took a fancy to a few fat ducks in the village, so he asked someone to buy them and roast them.

The duck farmer looked honest and honest, but when it came to selling ducks, he just stretched out a finger and asked for a penny.

Zhao Liangcai was rich, but he was not stupid. He said angrily, "Why don't you grab a penny?"

The farmer said honestly: "I don't dare, my family's ancestors have been honest people for generations and never did anything illegal."

Zhao Liangcai was speechless for a while. At this time, a guard came over and didn't say anything. He just deliberately protruded the saber at his waist forward.

In the end, Zhao Liangcai bought four ducks for 120 Wen, and asked the guards to take them back to the courtyard and roast them all.

Soon, the smell of roast duck wafted from the yard, and this smell attracted a group of children. They crowded at the gate of the yard, each poking their heads to look in, looking greedy.

In this world, the farmers in the village don’t have much money, and the children can’t eat meat a few times a year. Although these ducks are raised at home, they can’t afford to eat them at all, so these children can’t move when they smell the roast duck. open pace.

One of the oldest children, estimated to be about ten years old, shouted towards the courtyard: "I want to eat roast duck."

After shouting this, the other seven children around him immediately shouted to eat roast duck.

The guards in the yard didn't speak, they just pretended that these children didn't exist, and seeing that they couldn't respond, they kept yelling for roast duck. So many people yelling together was very noisy.

The guard was a little annoyed by the quarrel, so he drew out his saber and threatened, "If you dare to quarrel again, I will kill you."

The children were scared away immediately, but they ran back after a while. The older child Wang threw a stone in and cursed: "If you don't give us food, Qiniang will come to you at night."

The other children followed suit: "If you don't feed us, Qiniang will come to you at night."

During the noise, Xu Zhiqiu came out of the house. He glanced at the dirty children and asked, "Who is Qiniang?"

The Kid King didn't speak, but put his fingers against his nose and stuck out his tongue to make a face.

At this time, several elders in the village came over with sticks in their hands, and scolded: "You guys, why don't you go home quickly, what are you doing here, do you want to be beaten?"

The children were laughing and not afraid, until the elder raised the stick and made a gesture to hit them, and then ran away in all directions.

The elder near the courtyard gate was an old man who had lost his hair. He nodded to Xu Zhiqiu who was in the courtyard and Gu Qingyue who had just come out, and said inarticulately: "The children in the village are used to being wild and have no rules. The adults Don't get angry."

Without waiting for a response, he left on his own.
