Fortunate Young Gentleman

"What is this? I've never seen it before. Buy it and try it."

"This looks delicious."

"I bought these and this..."

…

Women and strong men dressed in strange clothes walked on the street, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

She ignored this at all and bought all the snacks on the street stalls before finally walking into a remote inn.

The inn looked dilapidated, and the door was ajar. She pushed the door open, and several figures in the room immediately stood up, folded their hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and babbled a few words, which seemed to be What unknown language.

The woman asked in the same language, and one of them immediately pointed upstairs.

When the giant man who followed her in opened the leather bag around his waist and showed off to the people in the house, the woman had already gone up the stairs. When she walked to a door somewhere, she knocked on the door and pushed the door open.

A middle-aged woman was sitting at the table. When she walked over, the middle-aged woman asked, "Have you heard about it?"

The woman stood there, stunned, and asked, "Inquire about what?"

The middle-aged woman looked at the remaining candied haws in her hand and asked, "I asked you to inquire about Chen Guo's mission. Are you just focusing on buying food again?"

"I forgot, but Han people's food is really delicious..." The woman looked at the candied haws in her hand, handed it over with some reluctance, and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

"The convoy of the Chen State escorting Princess Pingyang to the Chu State for marriage has arrived in Yunzhou." The middle-aged woman looked at her and said: "Once the Chen State and the Chu State complete the marriage, they will be as close as one family. When the time comes, the two countries will mobilize their troops to attack Grassland, your cattle and sheep will be snatched away by them, your horses will be snatched away by them, and your women and children will be snatched away by them!"

When the woman heard this, a look of anger appeared on her face, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Cunning Han people, absolutely, we cannot let them get..., get..., how do you say that in Chinese?"

The middle-aged woman looked at her and said, "Go and copy the word "success" a hundred times."

The woman's face immediately fell.

…

The weather in March and April is the most comfortable. The weather is gradually getting warmer, and there is a hint of coolness in the breeze. Zhao Man took off his shoes and socks, sat on the stone by the stream, raised his feet, and the water splashed everywhere. I ran barefoot to the grass and was very happy because I caught a butterfly.

A clean white cloth was spread on the grass, with various snacks bought from the street just now placed on it.

Tangning put her hands behind her head and lay on the grass, watching the white clouds drifting past in the sky.

It has been more than a month since we left Beijing, but we are not even halfway through the journey, and there will be about half a month before we enter the Chu Kingdom.

Going further, we reach the northernmost part of the Chen Kingdom. The further north we go, the weaker the imperial court's control over the place becomes, and naturally the more chaotic it becomes. If someone wants to stop the marriage, they will definitely choose to do so in this section.

Although these people have the same purpose as him, they cannot be allowed to succeed.

In name, he is also the wedding messenger on this trip, and his responsibility is to deliver the princess safely to the capital of Chu. If anything goes wrong along the way, he will have to bear the main responsibility, and he cannot escape it.

However, when he arrived in Chu State, his mission was completed, and naturally he didn't have so many scruples. Whether it was robbing people or stealing people, it had nothing to do with him, but was the responsibility of the Chu State court.

He was lying on the grass with his eyes closed and basking in the sun, and suddenly he heard the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" coming from the wind in the air.

He sat up and saw that Zhao Man had picked up a cane from somewhere and was waving it vigorously.

She came over carrying the cane and said: "The young lady I met today is so powerful. I also want to learn how to swing a whip. When I learn how to do it, if that damn peach still scares me with her snake, I will use a whip to whip her." she!"

Zhao Yingying was still worried about Xiaotao scaring her with a snake. He seemed to be thinking of the majestic look of the woman just now, with a look of longing and expectation on his face.

Tangning stood up, took the whip from her hand, and said, "Girls, don't play with whips..."

She is still young and has not yet fully established her three views. It is best not to touch whips, candles and the like...

A woman who likes whips is more or less like a queen. Whoever marries a woman who is skilled in whipping skills will have a lively life in the rest of her life.

"But there's nothing to do anymore..." Zhao Man clapped his hands, lay down next to Tang Ning, and said, "How about you tell me a story? I haven't listened to a story for a long time."

As long as she doesn't play with the whip, everything will be fine. Tangning nodded and said, "Then what do you want to hear?"

Zhao Man lay on the grass, looked at him sideways, and said, "I like to hear everything you say."

Tangning thought for a while and said, "Then let's talk about "The Deer and the Cauldron"."

Although marriage is a national matter, nothing is absolute, and she still needs to relieve some psychological pressure.

Butcher Zheng was leaning under a tree not far away, with his butcher knife beside him, looking into the distance with deep eyes.

On the grass beside the stream, young men and women lay side by side with their hands behind their heads. There was a cool breeze by the stream and white clouds in the sky. Tang Ning turned over his memory and recounted a legendary story. Zhao Man hummed softly. tune, with a satisfied look on his face.

The original text of the novel has more than one million words. Of course, Tang Ning cannot tell it all. She only explains the context of the story clearly, focusing especially on the part about Princess Jianning's marriage. The purpose is to let Zhao Man regain some confidence.

As he was talking, he suddenly felt no movement around him. He turned his head and saw Zhao Man's eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking about something.

After thinking for a while, she looked up at Tang Ning and asked, "Princess Jianning, are you talking about me?"

Tang Ning glanced at her and asked, "Do you think you look like her?"

"No." Zhao Man shook her head and said, "I am much more ladylike than her..."

She thought about it again and suddenly asked, "If I kill the prince of Chu, won't the marriage be impossible?"

"No." Tang Ning ruthlessly shattered her fantasy.

There was only one prince in Chu. If the prince became a eunuch, Chu would probably immediately break up with Chen and become irreconcilable. The envoys who went to Chu this time would never come back.

"Then I'll listen to you." Zhao Man sat up and said, "But why did Wei Xiaobao marry so many women? He's too lustful!"

This is something that needs to be asked of the author. In addition to Wei Xiaobao, he knew a senior named Li who also married many women. It seems that there are many authors who like this style.

Tang Ning did not answer, but Zhao Man suddenly seemed to think of something. She lowered her head and her face turned red.

Although Princess Jianning was a princess, she still married Xiaobao in the end. Was he hinting something to her? Although the emperor would not agree, they could also go to a place where no one could find them and be happy together...

...

After telling the story, it was almost time. When they went back, Zhao Man seemed to have something on her mind and was absent-minded. Tang Ning took her back, and no one noticed. Unless there was an accident, no one would enter the room where the princess was.

After sending her back, he returned to the street.

The girl selling tofu pudding was packing up her stall. Tang Ning walked over. The girl saw him and immediately said, "My lady, I'm here to meet you!"

Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "Boss, would you like to sell me your tofu pudding secret recipe? I want to buy it."

The girl said quickly, "If you like it, I'll give you the secret recipe. Anyway, I'm leaving Yunzhou soon, so there's no point in keeping it."

As she spoke, she bent down and pulled out a small box from under the table and chair. After opening it, she took out a yellowed piece of paper from the innermost part and said, "This secret recipe is It is an heirloom in my family. If you don't mind, please accept it. "

Tang Ning took the paper, opened it and took out a silver note from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "This money is for buying the secret recipe. Keep it, young lady."

The girl looked at the 100-liang silver note on the table and immediately said, "Sir, this is not allowed, not allowed..."

"I like the taste of this tofu pudding. Since you are leaving Yunzhou, you should accept this silver note. You can find another livelihood in another place." After Tang Ning said this, she waved her hand and turned away.

The family secret recipe is a means of livelihood for others. Many people regard it as more important than their lives. Buying someone else's secret recipe is a bit excessive, but Zhao Yingying likes it, so Tang Ning can only give her a relatively generous compensation.

He was walking on the street, and at a certain moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Stop!"

He turned his head and saw the foreign woman he met today chasing him quickly.
