Chapter 19
Gu Heng has his own considerations.

"I hope Mr. Shang you can not sell this play."

Shang Zirui was a little puzzled, and Gu Heng hurriedly explained: "I don't want to say the reason, but after arriving in the capital, I hope that Mr. Shang can make this play sing. Any troupe can sing, and I don't charge money."

After Shang Zirui listened, he thought for a moment.

"The weak must learn to be wise and protect themselves..."

Gu Heng was taken aback when he heard this sentence.

"Sir, you..."

Shang Zirui shook his head and remained silent.

Gu Heng suddenly felt something was wrong.

The caravan traveled northward for three consecutive days without encountering any abnormalities, half of the big stone in Gu Heng's heart was relieved.

During the lunch break that day, she was watching a play, Li Wei took out a half-green fruit from his bosom, and handed it to Gu Heng with a smile.

"Try it?"

Gu Heng wiped it on his clothes, and after taking a bite, his sore teeth fell out.

"This is too sour."

Li Wei took a bite of the fruit, frowned and said, "It's really a little sour, but there's nothing delicious in this wilderness."

Seeing Li Wei's chattering posture, Gu Heng asked softly, "What background do you have?"

Li Wei laughed out loud when he heard Gu Heng's words, and he asked back: "My background can't be seen by ordinary people, it seems that you are not simple, you also have a background..."

This Li Wei is very slippery.

Gu Heng ate quietly, while Li Wei sat on the side, chatting occasionally.

Maybe this day was too leisurely, God didn't like them, and it started to rain again.

The rain in late spring in the north is very precious, but if it rains frequently, it will be troublesome for passers-by.

The caravan transported some extremely precious treasures, all of which were birthday gifts for the extremely honored Concubine Rong, so naturally there should be no wear and tear.

So they can only find a place to set up camp, each team counts the goods and checks for water leaks.

Gu Heng pitched up the tent, his whole body was already soaked.

She went inside and changed into the new clothes that Xiaotao gave her. The clothes were light and breathable, but very comfortable.

Mrs. Chen inquired about a lot of things from the caravan, hurriedly told Gu Heng, and then crawled in. Seeing her daughter changing clothes, she was a little surprised and said: "I just said that my daughter is not It may not be outstanding, but your sister is good-looking, so naturally you are also good-looking."

Gu Heng smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"I don't know how my sister is doing in the capital right now..."

The capital, Xiwu Palace in the Forbidden City.

Concubine Rong had a drink with the emperor last night, and on a whim, she wrote a poem on the screen wall of Xiwu Palace, which is extremely elegant.

The palace people did not dare to disturb this beloved concubine, so they could only wait outside the palace.

At noon, the Concubine Rong opened her eyes. She sat up from the imperial bed, revealing her white jade-like skin.

A palace man hurried forward, put on the underwear for Concubine Rong, and washed Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong smiled softly, and she said, "Why didn't you call me earlier?"

The palace man hurriedly said: "The servant sees that the mother is sleeping very soundly, so I can't bear to disturb you."

Concubine Rong helped the hibiscus flowers on her temples, looked at her extremely beautiful face in the mirror, and suddenly thought of the lotus cloth that had been brought as a tribute from the West a few days ago.

"Are the clothes I ordered a few days ago ready?"

The palace man hurriedly replied: "It will be ready tomorrow, the empress wants to try it on quickly?"

Concubine Rong said with a smile: "Of course not. I heard that the concubine's sister has always felt hot and dry these days. This lotus dress is cool and breathable, and has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. It is the most suitable gift for the concubine."

The palace man said: "This servant knows."

After freshening up and dressing up, news came from the servants outside, saying that the emperor, who had just come down from court, had come to Xiwu Palace.

It is said that since this concubine Rong moved into the palace, the emperor has no time to care about others, and spends all day in Xiwu Palace.

The world said that this Concubine Rong of unknown origin was the reincarnation of a fox demon, who came here to charm their king.

When Concubine Rong heard the servant's words, her face immediately looked like a hibiscus flower in full bloom.

……

The rain on Gu Heng's side has been falling...

And because their road ahead is an official road near the mountain, it is difficult to pass through the heavy rain, so they have to look at the mountain and sigh.

Misty rain surrounds the green hills, and the sky is stained by clouds, water and mist.

The scenery was nice, but Gu Heng was a little anxious in his heart, whether the Fuguo Duke's people would be behind them, a large group of people, armed with knives and guns, ready to arrest and kill them at any time.

God may be responding to Gu Heng's thoughts.

After the caravan stopped, many business travel officials stayed at the station here.

Officials can live in posthouses, and so can rich people. Those like Gu Heng who can't afford the rent can only pitch a tent under a tree.

Naturally, the tent was also leaking, and several people were wet.

Seeing their pity, Shang Zirui allowed them to sleep in the carriage. The space in the carriage was extremely narrow. The three of Gu Heng and Chen Xiaodouzi were crowded together, their bodies were wet, and it was still thundering and raining outside, so the three of them were freezing.

Li Wei found quilts for them, but it was not much better.

Shivering with chills, Chen said to Gu Heng: "Damn girl, these are poor people who don't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, and have no place to live. They are pitiful."

Gu Heng was helpless.

"Mother, we won't be poor forever, you trust me."

"I believe you ghost, don't talk about being poor, I will burn incense if I can live."

Gu Heng said: "Li Wei said, as long as we get to the capital, we will be safe."

Chen Shi could only sigh when he heard this.

Fortunately, God was not so ruthless. After several days of rain, it finally stopped, and they could finally follow the caravan on the road.

The road just rained was extremely muddy, and the wheels of the carriage got stuck in the mud. Gu Heng didn't think anything of it, and said to Shang Zirui and Chen Shi who were sitting on the carriage, "I'll go down and push the cart."

Gu Heng got out of the carriage, she ran to the back of the carriage and pushed it forward vigorously, Li Wei and several big men also came to push the carriage.

Li Wei said with a smile: "After passing this mountain, you will arrive at the border of bandits. There are a lot of bandits and thieves at the junction of the two provinces. The officers and soldiers can't control them. We have to be careful."

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment.

Li Wei whispered in Gu Heng's ear: "The Fu Guogong may choose to do it here, you have to be prepared, let Xiaodouzi follow me in the past few days, and keep the testimony for me, you and Chen Madam must be careful, when the time comes..."

During the lunch break, Gu Heng went to the kitchen to ask for water. She found a girl who looked the most talkative. That girl was called Su Su. She was very cute, but unfortunately she had a scar on her face.

Su Su is an enthusiastic person, seeing that Gu Heng asked for water, she scooped up a large pot of boiled water for her.

"You can't drink unboiled water when you're on the road. It's not good if you get sick."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Susu."

Susu also brought Gu Heng a juicy carrot from the desk.

"The manager rewarded me today, but Shui Ling!"
