The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 435

Li San's daughter-in-law is not stupid either, and she has already heard some tricks from the girls' few words, so she started to chant Bodhisattva at this time.I hope the owner can achieve what he wants and reunite as soon as possible.

Shi Chuying fell asleep exhaustedly in Chu Xu's arms after being emotional.Occasionally, she sobbed twice in her sleep, and after she had slept for half an hour, Chu Xu shook her awake, it would be bad if she slept too much and was sleepy at night.

Shi Chuying looked at Chu Xu with sleepy eyes, and it took a while to distinguish the person, she couldn't help being discouraged, and muttered: "I thought I saw Daddy." In the dream.

Chu Xu can't accept her sleep talk, if she really agrees, with Yingying's brain power, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to kill him properly, and ask him for an explanation, he will become an indistinguishable liar, right?Let's wait for her to wake up...

"I'll have to look here again when I get back. I dreamed that Daddy was here." Shi Chuying got up from Chu Xu's lap, with loose temples, crooked hairpins, red cheeks and almond eyes, and a begonia-like expression. The sleeping picture appeared in front of Chu Xu as if alive.

Chu Xu swallowed his saliva, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Wake up, I will arrive in Lianzhou City in another hour. I am afraid that the Meng family is already waiting outside the city. Wait a minute." We will arrive at the front station, rest for a while, and let the maids tidy up for you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Chuying stretched out her hand to help her hair, feeling a little embarrassed, hummed lightly.

When the sun was westward, Chu Xu and his party finally arrived at Shili Pavilion outside Lianzhou City.

Seeing a line of chariots and horses approaching slowly, the Meng family who had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time went forward to inquire from a distance, and hearing that they were the ones who were about to be picked up, they hurried forward to salute.

Chu Xu got out of the car early to change horses. At this time, he was wearing a stone-blue ground woven gold dragon pattern arrow sleeve uniform, a yellow belt around his waist, and a treasured sword faintly exposed from under the skirt. He sat majestically on the tall horse, with a pair of cold stars His eyes were dull, but the aura emanating from his body was daunting.

The person who came to greet the Meng family was Meng Chen, the second master of the long house. He was about 25 or [-] years old, with an elegant appearance and a slightly thin body like a literati. He said: "Meng Chen, I am following the order of my ancestors to lead the way for the general and his wife of Fuguo." Because we are on the way, there is no need to meet each other with great courtesy.

Chu Xu immediately raised his hand and replied, "You don't need to be too polite."

Meng Chen originally wanted to take advantage of the lack of people and get close to General Fuguo in advance, but the waiter had already unceremoniously extended his hand to ask Meng Chen to lead the way.Meng Chen's heart beat as he walked, the majesty of this clan should not be underestimated.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the city gate of Lianzhou appeared in front of everyone.

Through the window screen, Shi Chuying saw a city wall wrapped in blue bricks, about 6 feet ([-] meters) high, with towers on the gates, crenels around, square towers and watchtowers, which is a typical city shape for defending against foreign enemies .But in Shi Chuying's view, the widest part of the base of the city wall is no more than [-] feet, and the top is no more than [-] feet wide, and there is no moat around the perimeter, so it may not be enough to really resist powerful enemies.

Speaking of it, there are 98 state capitals and [-] passes in the north of Great Chu, and Lianzhou is close to the inland, so it is not considered an important point.Moreover, not many years had passed since the war, and the economy of Great Chu had just started to improve. Of course, the top priority of the money in the treasury was to build a majestic and strong military town.

As for other places, the rich government will fortify the city itself, and those without money will wait for the imperial court to allocate funds.A city like Lianzhou in the rear is basically between making do with it and strengthening it a little bit, so it can still be seen anyway.

However, the imperial court was naturally worried about these things, and it was never her turn to tell them what to do.

They were walking through the south gate at this time, and they saw two large characters of "Yongqing" carved on the top of the city gate.Before they could take a closer look, Meng Chen had already led his entourage on horseback to finish negotiating with the gatekeepers, and the chariots and horses rumbled into the city without stopping.

The little official who watched the city gate looked at the group of carriages that were gradually going away, weighed the purse given by the Meng family, and showed a satisfied smile on his face: Good guy!It's half a penny!This guest was probably not young, so he only looked at the clothing and clothing of the man on horseback in the crowd, tsk tsk, he didn't even recognize the gatekeepers in the stately city!
As a prominent family in the Northwest, the Lianzhou Meng Mansion has a natural advantage in the local area. The so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. Even today's masters of Zhizhou still look favorably on these local prominent families.

The guards of the city gates are served by local soldiers and subordinate officials, which can be regarded as fat jobs. They think that they are well-informed people.Why don't people leave the city gate when they come!

Like this time, the Meng family had already said hello in advance, and a pot of wine and a chicken had already been brought over by servants. It seemed that the real guests had arrived at this time.

However, judging from his many years of experience in guarding the city gate, the Meng family has not been in contact with high officials and dignitaries for many years, and this is still the first time.

In the evening at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the sun slanted to the west, and the golden light scattered across the city wall which was not too tall.In front of the ancestral house of the Meng family in the east of Lianzhou City, 30 men, old and young, stood respectfully in front of the gate to welcome the General Fuguo and his wife who came from afar.

Chu Xu glanced at the crowd, got off his horse, walked in front of Dashi Chuying's carriage, and raised the curtain with his own hands. Before Shi Chuying could move, he clasped his hands, and Shi Chuying fell to the ground.
