Chapter 202 Leave
Private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

Everyone from the Xia family has come.

Xia Hu stood by the window, looked at the carriage that had just passed by, and asked, "Aren't we going to see off Second Aunt?"

Father Xia was sitting at the table drinking tea, and after hearing what his grandson said, he put down the teacup: "The situation in the world is too complicated today, so we won't make trouble for your second aunt. We have been keeping a low profile since we have been in Lingnan for so long. That’s how it should be.”

Xia Hu waved his fan and shook his head: "Our family is low-key, only relative to ordinary people. In front of the powerful, our family is transparent in front of them. No one in the dignitaries knows our relationship with the second aunt."

Xia Qingshan glanced at the third son, and scolded with a smile: "Don't say that there is nothing here, you just want to follow your second aunt to Jiankang if you say so much!"

Xia Hu chuckled: "It's still my father who understands me."

"It's useless to understand, if you can't go, you can't go!" Xia Qingshan didn't want to eat this meal, and it was useless to smile in front of him, "The situation in Jiankang is very chaotic now, you will only be used by others if you go, give your second aunt Trouble!"

Xia Hu put away his smile, turned around and lay down on the window again, his depressed expression made people want to laugh.

Standing by the side and keeping an eye out of the window, Xia Di asked curiously: "The third brother wants to go to Jiankang so much, is Jiankang fun?"

Xia Hu tapped his head with a fan, "Just know how to play!"

He doesn't know if Jiankang is fun, but he knows that Jiankang's money must be good!
Mrs. Chen sighed, her face was full of worry, "My son is worried after traveling thousands of miles, and I don't know what Jing'er will face when she arrives in Jiankang?"

Xia Qingshan comforted: "Little sister has been upright since she was a child, and she is also capable. As long as the prince is on her side, no difficulty will trouble her!"

Chen looked at her heartless son, "No difficulty can trouble her, but she is tired from living like this, and she has to worry about everything, she will be tired!"

Otherwise, why would there be the word mentally exhausted?
Everyone doesn't know how to answer these words, their family is just a family of a small rich family, even if it is an exaggeration, it can only be considered a rich family.

Prince's Mansion, now it should be said that they can't intervene in the affairs of the royal family. They really can't help Xia Jing, and they are powerless.

All they can do is try not to make trouble for her, not to hold her back.

The adults were talking, but the younger generation couldn't get in the way. Li Yingzi leaned against the window and watched the long queue outside in a daze.

At this moment, a figure outside the window caught his attention.

"Grandma, grandpa, I'm going out for a while."

"Why are you going out, there are too many people outside!" Mrs. Chen strongly disapproved of the little girl going to join in the fun.

Li Yingzi had already rushed to the door of the private room, "I saw a friend, I went out to say hello, and I'll be right back."

The Xia family looked at the door where they disappeared with the maid, smiled and shook their heads.

"Young Master Tong, what a coincidence?"

When Tong Song heard the voice behind him, he turned around. His face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it?

"you are?"

Li Yingzi blushed a little, it was embarrassing, it turned out that people didn't remember her at all.

At this time, the servant girl following behind came out to save the master, "My girl is a girl from the Li family. Last time I went out with the girl from the Wangfu to meet the young master."

"Oh, sorry, Miss Li, please forgive my clumsy eyes." Tong Song apologized out of politeness.

Li Yingzi waved her hand, wanting to say it's okay.

At this time, Lian Gui ran over, "Young Master, Yicheng has been handed over to the steward of the palace."

Li Yingzi glanced at Lian Gui unexpectedly, "Are you here to see him off?"

Although Lian Gui didn't know the relationship between this girl and his young master, when she saw her questioning, he nodded politely: "Yes, the princess is leaving today, and many families in Lingnan came to see her off. The team is so long, I guess it will take a lot of time for the Wangfu motorcade to leave the city."

After the convoy leaves the city, and then joins the soldiers and horses that the princess is going to take to Jiankang outside the city, it may take about a day.

You can't drive much on the first day.

Li Yingzi clicked her tongue, it's better to have the right, how much gift does the concubine and auntie have to receive this day?
Tong Song glanced at Li Yingzi who was in a daze, and said to Lian Gui: "Let's go, the others are still waiting."

"Young Master Tong booked a private room here?" Li Yingzi saw people walking in, and hurriedly followed.

"Yes, an appointment with a friend."

"Oh, do I know Mr. Tong's friends?" Li Yingzi followed behind upstairs.

Lian Gui looked back at her in surprise, it was another girl who wanted to get close to his son.

He clicked his tongue twice in his heart, the skin of the young master was very attractive to girls, and he didn't know how many girls went on to follow him.

Tong Song said without turning his head, "Maybe the girl doesn't know her."

Don't be too obvious about rejection.

On the second floor, Li Yingzi saw him staying at the door of a private room, and followed him again, "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, Mr. Tong will introduce you to each other. We all live in Lingnan, and we have many friends and many paths."

After hearing her shameless words, Tong Song finally looked at her squarely and smiled meaningfully: "Young lady is right."

The door of the private room opened, and there were already many people inside.

"Tong Song is here!" Young Master Chen was the first to notice him coming in, stood up and greeted him, and finally his eyes fell on Li Yingzi who was behind Tong Song, "This is"

Tong Song briefly introduced: "Miss Li Fu."

Young Master Chen accidentally glanced at Tong Song and then at Li Yingzi. This was the first time he had brought a girl to their party.

"Miss Li, come and sit down!"

"Thank you, Young Master Chen."

"Hehe, you're welcome, don't meet outsiders, drink tea."

Niu Yongcheng, who had been sitting by the window without moving, said, "Master Tong, you are late today!"

Tong Song sat down, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "There is no way, there are too many people who have sent the princess a ceremony."

The corners of Niu Yongcheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Let your housekeeper do this kind of thing, why don't you go in person? Even if you go, you won't be able to see the princess. It would be a great honor for the housekeeper to meet you in person."

Tong Song didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and introduced to Li Yingzi: "This is the second son of Master Niu, the general soldier of Jieyang Guards in Lingnan, Niu Yongcheng, you can just call him Er Niu."

Niu Yongcheng stared immediately after hearing this address, "What are you talking about? Young Master Niu!"

Li Yingzi covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Brother Er Niu, I will call you Brother Er Niu from now on. There is a Brother Er Niu next door to our house, but unfortunately he is a second idiot!"

Niu Yongcheng: "."

"Ha ha."

Young Master Chen couldn't help laughing: "I think that's a good name, Brother Erniu!"

Tong Song suppressed a smile and nodded: "Brother Erniu, please take care of me in the future."

Sitting next to Niu Yongcheng, Mou Guangzhen saw his dark face, glanced at Li Yingzi, and said eccentrically, "What does Brother Erniu mean by being so affectionate? Shameless!"

"." Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.

Li Yingzi looked at Tong Song suspiciously, "Who is this?"

"Brother Erniu's concubine!"

The person was brought by him, and if Mou Guangzhen didn't give him face, Tong Song naturally wouldn't care about her face, and directly exposed her lowly status.

"It's a concubine!" Li Yingzi deliberately lengthened the ending, looked at Mou Guangzhen, and said with a puzzled face: "I heard that concubines like to climb on beds and seduce people. Because Brother Erniu likes Caina?"

After hearing this, Niu Yongcheng remembered that he fell asleep with Mou Guangzhen for no reason, and lost face in front of the prince, and his face that was not white at first became even darker.

The others all pursed their lips tightly, it's really hard to talk about such a thing.

Li Yingzi naturally took everyone's looks into her eyes, and smiled innocently: "Since I'm a bed crawler, why do you call me shameless?"

After all, she didn't forget to put on eye drops: "Brother Er Niu, your concubine is too arrogant, be careful to get you into trouble outside!"

"You..." Mou Guangzhen's lungs almost exploded. Whose girl has enmity with her, right?

"Okay!" Niu Yongcheng glared at her and warned, "If you want to come out and play, be safe!"

Mou Guangzhen immediately shut up, feeling aggrieved and angry, and still glared at Li Yingzi angrily.

Li Yingzi smiled triumphantly, it was useless to stare, and she couldn't kill me!

Niu Yongcheng said something indisputable and angry to Tong Song: "The girl you brought has sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"

Li Yingzi didn't fear him at all, "Brother Er Niu praised me a lot. My aunt said that birds fly away with phoenixes, and people with virtuous people are proud of themselves; those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black; things flock together, and people are divided into groups. Like me A person with such a straightforward personality must make friends with the same personality as me."

As he spoke, he stood up and patted Niu Yongcheng on the shoulder, "Brother Erniu speaks straightforwardly, I like it, I'm sure you are my friend!"

Niu Yongcheng was always full of anger, and after being praised by her like this, he didn't dare to vent his anger. If he got angry, it didn't mean that his character was not good.

This scene fell into Tong Song's eyes, and his eyes flickered. Is this girl really naive or pretending to be naive?
Niu Yongcheng finally laughed angrily: "The aunt you are talking about is not the lady next door to your house, is it?"

Li Yingzi recalled that Xia Jing taught many crafts, such as steel making, cement burning, glass making, etc. She was really a gentleman.

"Hmm! Brother Er Niu is so smart, you guessed it right!"

Niu Yongcheng: "."

When I go back, I will ask someone to find out who this girl belongs to. She is so eccentric and has the ability to irritate people!

The Xia family and the Li family did not deliberately hide their identities, nor did they conduct themselves in a high-profile manner.

As long as someone is willing to check, they can find out their relationship with the palace with a little effort.

When Niu Yongcheng read the news that night, he really couldn't laugh or cry. The relatives of the princess's family are really "out of the ordinary"! ——
There is already fresh green everywhere in Lingnan, but after passing the Nanling Mountains, the trees on the side of the road in Jingzhou have just grown new leaves.

In the passing farmland, the farmers bent over and planted rice seedlings.

The warm spring breeze can still smell the muddy smell of the soil.

Their huge team naturally attracted the attention of the people.

The governor of Guiyang led dozens of officials from the top and bottom of the yamen, and went out of the city thirty miles to meet him.

"Minister Ouyang Chuansheng, governor of Guiyang county, pays his respects to the princess!"

Strictly speaking, Xia Jing is the official concubine of King Qian, and now that King Qian has become the emperor, it is no exaggeration for them to call Xia Jing a queen.

However, King Qian has not canonized her as a queen, let alone announced it to the world. They can only call her Wangfei according to the previous title.

Xia Jing opened the curtain, looked at the people kneeling outside, "Master Ouyang, get up, lead the way."

Ouyang Chuansheng stood up after thanking him, glanced cautiously at the carriage, seeing that the carriage was well covered, he turned around and got on the horse with all the officials, and walked in front to lead the way.

Guiyang County is located in the south of Jingzhou and north of Nanling. Because Nanling blocks the monsoon from the South China Sea, Guiyang County has four distinct seasons and rich products.

Due to the high terrain of Guiyang County, several rivers flow north through Changsha County.

In fact, it is more convenient to go north by boat, but the water volume of the river is slightly smaller, and only a small boat with dozens of people can travel.

Xia Jing brought nearly soldiers and horses, only suitable for land travel.

Entering Guiyang County, because Xia Jing is a female family member, the county guard arranged the master and son of the palace in another courtyard.

Xia Jing came over the mountains from the south of Lingnan, and the journey was very hard, so she fell asleep after eating.

Later, the magistrate's wife handed over the greeting card, and her maid pushed it to the next day.

After breakfast the next day, the magistrate's wife handed over the card again, Xia Jing just glanced at it and said, "Hongmei, go and invite her in."

It was a bit cold in the morning and evening in April, Xia Jing was wearing a thin jacket.

"Have we not worn a jacket for almost a year?"

Baimei nodded with a smile: "The weather is changeable this season. The princess must keep warm. In spring, it's cold in autumn. I'd rather wear a little more in spring so that I don't get cold. Otherwise, it's very easy to get cold from the evil wind."

Xia Jing nodded: "We can prepare some medicinal materials in Guiyang County, just in case on the way. Did our soldiers and horses settle outside the city last night?"

"Your Majesty's arrangement is very appropriate, Wangfei, don't worry."

The two were talking, and Hongmei led the ladies in.

"The courtier's wife has seen the princess."

"Get up."

Everyone sat down and greeted each other, and Mrs. Bo handed the basket to Hongmei.

"Now is the best season of spring, and all kinds of wild vegetables in the wild are the freshest. These are rice dumplings and some pastries made by my wife who picked Qingming vegetables. I hope they can suit the taste of the princess."

Xia Jing has developed a habit in the last days. Whenever she hears delicious food, she wants to take a bite. "Oh, Hongmei, go and serve it on a plate. I'll try Madam Bo's wishes."

There are two or three kinds of pastries, red and green, which are very pleasing to the eye from the outside, and make people appetite at the first sight.

Mrs. Bo saw that she was amazed by the color of the pastry, so she smiled and explained: "The green pastry is dried with Qingming vegetables, ground into powder and then mixed with rice flour. The red pastry is made of peach blossoms picked from the mountains, you can try them all."

"April is the end of all the beauty in the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom; I never thought that I could taste such poetic pastries when I came to Guiyang County, you bothered!"

After all, Xia Jing pinched a piece and took a bite, "The fragrance of the flower is light, the taste is sweet, refreshing and not sticky, the taste is good."

The ladies were relieved to see that she liked it.

The concubine came to Guiyang County, and they couldn't think of any food to entertain her even though they were thinking about it.

These snacks were thought up by the ingenious Mrs. Bo.

Fortunately, the princess likes it, or they don't know how to treat her at all?
The officials' wives who live at the bottom don't know what the nobles at the top like?
It's too embarrassing for them.

Xia Jing ate another piece of green pastry before rinsing her mouth, "The pastry is delicious, and the shape of the plate is also pretty."

The county magistrate's wife pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess doesn't know that the cakes are made by Mrs. Bo, and the plates that hold the cakes are made of fired porcelain from Wayaoping in our county."

"Oh, there is still a place to burn porcelain in Guiyang County?" Xia Jing became interested.

"Yes, it has been burning for hundreds of years."
