Faced with Chengchun's choice, Hongdou didn't say anything. She still chose to support her without hesitation as before.
Chengchun is a person who rarely misses, so since she decided to leave the next day, she didn't hesitate at all.
Su Xubai originally wanted to let Isam send Chengchun and the others to Taiping County, but Isam was always with Su Xubai. If he left, the target would become bigger, so in the end they decided to let Su Xubai
The two guards who had been with Cheng Chun sent them back to Taiping County.
These two guards have been with Chengchun for a while. One is named Qiu Yue and the other is Qingfeng. Chengchun often chats with them. Sometimes he makes delicious food and gives them some, which is a back-and-forth relationship.
It became quite good.
On the way back to Taiping County, Chengchun was a little sad at first. He stayed in the carriage and refused to show up. He was sad and sad for a whole day. But then he got over it and still chatted happily with them.
Qiu Yue and Qingfeng also liked this approachable lady very much. Even though she was just a concubine, they never looked down on her and were still very respectful to her.
"Have you thought about what to do when you go back?" Qiu Yue saw that Chengchun was in a low mood, so she deliberately found a topic to talk about.
"What can I do as a woman?" Cheng Chun smiled, "Fifth Master left so many shops and fields in Taiping County. The money alone will cost me a lifetime. Of course I will go back to Taiping County to enjoy the happiness.
That’s it.”
"That's all, Madam. Madam is someone who can't take any time off. Even if she lives in another courtyard, she grows flowers and vegetables from time to time. How could she not do anything when she returns to Taiping County?" Qingfeng on the side also asked.
said.
Chengchun thought for a while: "That's right. Why don't you accompany me to plant vegetables?"
Qiu Yue and Qingfeng looked at each other: "Actually, this is quite good. You can grow vegetables and then marry a gentle and virtuous woman who is like a wife in Taiping County and live there for the rest of your life. It's better than us.
A day of licking blood on the sword!"
"If you stay with the Fifth Master, you may gain fame in the future, and that will be a glorious achievement for your ancestors. You have all been able to do this for a lifetime, how can you just waste it in the countryside like this?" Cheng Chun smiled and shook his head, "But
If you like our girls from Taiping County, I can let you look at them, but I have one request, you cannot let them be my concubines!"
Qingfeng looked back at Cheng Chun, and then said: "If the fifth master is not the son of the Hou family, he will never be willing to let his wife be his concubine!"
"I know!" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes slightly, "You also know that being a concubine is not easy. No matter whether I am forced or voluntary, as long as I become a concubine, I will always be inferior to others, so in the future you
If there is a woman you really like, you must think carefully about it. Then marry her with three matchmakers and six beauties and become your main wife!"
Qingfeng and Qiu Yue looked at each other, then smiled and responded: "Of course."
The walk along this road was actually quite peaceful. Occasionally, I met a few beggars. Hongdou gave me some broken silver and passed by. When someone wanted to surround me, Qiu Yue and Qingfeng stood on both sides and looked at the beggar in his hand.
Sword, they didn't dare to step forward anymore.
It’s just that what I encountered today was a bit strange. Because Qiuhu, the weather is still a bit hot during the day. After walking for a while, I came across a tea shop. Chengchun didn’t want to say stop and take a rest.
Avoid the hottest time here and continue on your way.
Just as they were sitting down, a young man came over to talk to Qingfeng: "Something happened on the official road ahead. I heard that two trading houses were fighting there. It seemed that a few of them were also on their way, so they
Don’t go that way.”
Qingfeng took a look at the young man and found that he was very stable. Although he looked a little thin, he was very energetic. He was obviously a Lianjiazi. However, he did not expose it, but asked with a smile:
“If we can’t take the official road, is there any other way we can take?”
"There is a mountain road on the left side from here, which is closer than the official road. However, the road is a bit small and cannot accommodate a large carriage. I see that your carriage is not big, so it should be just enough to go there." Although the young man said,
He was talking to Qingfeng, but his eyes were always on Cheng Chun.
Qingfeng turned slightly to block the man's gaze, then smiled and said: "Thank you very much!"
When the people were far away, Hongdou asked softly: "Then let's wait for a while and go to the path?"
"Don't leave!"
"no!"
Chengchun and Qingfeng spoke almost at the same time.
Qingfeng paused, and then responded: "That person looks like a practicing practitioner, but he pretends to be an ordinary citizen. He must have some agenda, and he lures us to take a small road. He must not be a good person. And you see
His eyes just now were on the lady almost from the beginning to the end. The only people accompanying us are me and Qiu Yue. We can't take this risk. We would rather wait one more night and go through the official road."
Cheng Chun nodded: "It seems a little strange to me. We are not the only pedestrians sitting here, but as soon as we sat down, that person came straight towards us. As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either a traitor or a thief.
, we should be more careful when we go out!"
"That's what I said!" Hongdou said with a solemn expression, then tightened the bag in her arms.
"Since they said that there was a fight between two trading houses, let's wait here. If it is really a fight between the trading houses, officials will definitely come over. This road is an official road, and the court cannot allow them to take this place.
The road is blocked!" Qiu Yue took a sip of tea and said, "We're not in a hurry anyway, so just wait."
Cheng Chun felt that what Qiu Yue said made sense, so he agreed!
They had been waiting on this road for almost two hours. Many pedestrians walked straight over without stopping. They did not see them walking back, and they did not see any officials passing by. Obviously
There is no so-called business fight ahead.
The young man was obviously dressed as a pedestrian, but he was just like them. He sat here in a daze for two hours, drinking a cup of tea again and again, without any sign of leaving, and his eyes were always on them.
here.
It's so obvious that everyone can see what's going on.
Qiu Yue and Qingfeng were a little late today, and they didn't want to wait any longer, so they stood up: "Madam, it seems that there is no so-called fight ahead. Let's set off. Maybe we can get to the nearby place before dark.
