Chapter 70 Is it actually a tour?
Si Haochen also knew Lieyan's temper and was always alert to Lieyan's outrage. However, this man still got along well with each other.
"Since the fare is charged, I'm going to get on the bus." Mingruo touched Lieyan's horse's head.
Lieyan kicked the horse's hooves a few times on the spot, probably because he made a default.
Mingruo planned to sit behind Si Haochen, just like riding an electric bike to take someone, and there was nothing wrong with it. But Si Haochen reached out and pulled her onto the horse and steadily wrapped it in his arms. Mingruo's spine stiffened, this posture...isn't it too intimate?
Si Haochen grabbed the horse's belly and Lieyan ran, and Ayi hurriedly followed. The secret passage was very long, and it took about a quarter of an hour to stop. Ming Ruo only felt Si Haochen's arm move, and then he heard a rumbling sound. The stone wall that was originally blocking the road ahead slowly opened.
Si Haochen took the lead, and Ayi drove through the stone gate and started the mechanism, and the stone gate gradually closed.
Today is the Moon Festival, and the moonlight is very bright. Passing through a small piece of gentle hills and woods, there is a flat official road in front of you, and a carriage parked on the side of the road.
Si Haochen stopped his horse, and Lieyan stopped in front of the carriage. The person who was originally sitting on the shaft stepped forward and saluted: "See master, madam."
"Yes." Si Haochen turned over and dismounted, turned around and hugged Ming Ruo.
Mingruo took out another handful of licorice sugar and fed it to Lieyan. Lieyan was very happy to eat it, and Mingruo rubbed his head again: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lieyan sniffed and shook his big horse's head, as if saying - You're welcome!
Si Haochen took off the horse harness and patted Lieyan's back: "Go to play."
"The city gates are closed now, it can't go back, right?" Ming Ruo was a little worried.
"It's going with us." Si Haochen got on the carriage and reached out to pull Mingruo into the carriage.
"Will the flame get lost?"
"If you get lost, it won't be lost." Si Haochen glanced at Mingruo who was worried about nothing.
"That's right." Ming Ruo nodded sincerely, he really didn't recognize the way.
"Ha." Si Haochen entered the carriage.
As soon as Mingruo entered the carriage, she was stunned for a moment. She took this carriage into the capital. The carriage was covered with snow-white fur, and fists-sized night pearls hanging from the four corners. There were two coarse cloth bags in the corner not far from the car door, and there were pillows and a brocade quilt inside.
Si Haochen took off his boots, took off his cloak and robe, and hung it on the clothes hanger.
Then I walked in and put the brocade quilt on the pillow: "What are you doing when you are stunned? Close the door and come over."
"Oh." Ming Ruo closed the carriage door first.
Then he took off his outer clothes and shoes, walked to Si Haochen and sat down.
"Master, can you set off?"
"Let's go." Si Haochen responded.
The carriage ran, but it was not a bumpy one, but the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the quiet night.
"Do you want to sleep?" Si Haochen turned his head and looked at Ming Ruo.
"You go to bed first, I'm not too sleepy." Mingruo looked at the pillow and quilt and twitched the corners of his mouth. It's true that the pillow and quilt are both big, but there is only one.
"Well." Si Haochen covered the night pearl with silk cloth, but did not sleep, but opened the window of the carriage.
The moonlight shone into the car through the window sash. Mingruo looked over and saw a full moon hanging high in the deep blue night sky, illuminating the surrounding clouds.
Ming Ruo suddenly spoke: "Your name is the view outside the window, right?"
Si Haochen's eyes shone with a glimmer of light in the moonlight: "Yes."
My mother once said that on the night he was born, the bright moon shining in the sky. So my father gave him this name.
"It sounds nice and looks good." Mingruo lies on the pillow, which makes it more convenient to watch the moon.
Si Haochen also lay down and pulled the quilt to cover Mingruo and himself: "Your name sounds nice too."
"Oh." Mingruo had no feelings for his name, neither poetic nor cute.
It was not even thoughtful by parents or grandparents. Because in the Ming family, as long as the girl with a birthmark of Que Yu is born, she is called Mingruo. Moreover, from birth, she is recognized as the future head of the family and devotes her entire family to cultivate it.
"Didn't you want to go to Jiangnan before? In three days, we will be able to go to Jiangnan." Si Haochen lay on his back on his pillow.
"Is the Yanxin Lotus Seed in Jiangnan?" Mingruo thought this trip was a business trip, but didn't expect it to be a trip?
"I just passed by, and I can't go to the famous prefecture." In fact, it was a bit far away when I passed by Jiangnan, but he still chose this route. "When I come back, you can go to Huzhou, Changzhou or Ningzhou to see where my king's fief is."
"Ah... your fief is in Jiangnan?" Mingruo looked at Si Haochen in surprise. In her world, there is a saying that "Su Changshu, the world is full." Zi Su said that Jiangnan where her hometown is also very rich.
"Yes." Si Haochen responded.
"How could the emperor allocate such a wealthy place to others as fiefdoms?" No matter who becomes emperor, he naturally has to hold the granary and commercial center in his hands, and how could he give up someone?
"It was given to me before the Supreme Emperor abdicated. Danxu was so angry that he almost died of death..." Si Haochen's eyes were smiling.
"..." I would be so flirtatious that I am Emperor Danxu.
Si Haochen raised his hand and closed the window: "Go to sleep."
"Yes." Mingruo closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
Si Haochen also closed his eyes and listened to his breathing on his side gradually becoming even and long. This was the first time they had "padded the same bed" since they got married.
When Mingruo woke up, he found that the carriage had stopped and Si Haochen was not in the carriage. Mingruo got up, folded the bedding, put on his outer clothes. She opened the window and parked the carriage by a stream. Ah Yisheng had a pile of fire and roasted dry food there.
Si Haochen's hair was tied up and he washed his face by the stream. The round-faced Fifteen was holding a handkerchief and a toothbrush made by Ming Ruo.
Mingruo opened the bag, took out the washbasket she had prepared, and got off the carriage.
"Madam." When I went out, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ayi and Shiwu changed their name to Master and Madam.
It seems that I have to have a 'picnic' to get breakfast this morning, but fortunately she was prepared: "You go to the car to move the small red mud stove and use that small copper pot to cook a pot of water."
"Yes, madam." Ah Yi put the dry food and went to move the stove.
Si Haochen had already washed up, but Mingruo placed the small bamboo basket in his hand on the stone by the stream, opened the lid, and placed the toiletries neatly in the basket. It was very practical and convenient without anyone serving on the side.
After Mingruo finished washing up, he put the washbasket on the car and hung the used veil on the handle of the basket.
"Madam, the water is boiling."
