Chapter 175

(9)

Going to play leisurely under the pretense of official business will undoubtedly fall into the hands of those young girls who are confined to the thoughts of wandering.No matter how safe Lou Mansion is and how many dangers it has isolated, it is just another cage for them who have been away from home for many days.

The real home is the destination after a long journey. It is not a place where you hide your body in a closed space and spend your days wandering.

So the daughter of the Lou family chose to take the initiative to invite people to play around at this time, which can be said to have insight into people's hearts.No matter what kind of malice Lou Jinghua harbored, the invited guests couldn't seem to find any excuse to shirk and resist this "overt conspiracy".After all, it is much better to find a place to release your nature and express your sorrows and complaints than to be locked behind a strange door.

Especially for Ajuan and Xiaomei, although they have no special affection for Lou Jinghua, who is so kindly invited, and even feel a little disgusted, they can really get a chance to rest during the journey, go to the market, go to the foot of the mountain , Going around aimlessly and being stubborn can be described as a "beautiful job".

So on the second day, the five travelers who lived in Lou's mansion went hiking with the daughter of the Lou family, and took the opportunity to go out to recruit people to go to the famous places in the town.

Nowadays, the daughter of the Lou family, who can no longer pay attention to ostentation, still seems to be unhappy about yesterday's futile work. She is holding a bamboo basket in her hand. In it, she and her nanny made a morning pastry, presumably for friends Used on the road.However, she seems to only regard Zhao Kuo as a friend, and she will pretend to be overwhelmed and fall on the other party after taking two steps, as if she wants to show her light and graceful figure all the time.

Seeing her delicate body, everyone planned to hire a carriage.But Lou Jinghua said: "Obviously I invited everyone to go for a walk, so as to relieve the fatigue of the journey, how can I have the nerve to ride in the carriage by myself and let you follow behind like slaves?"

After that, she took a step closer to Zhao Kuo even more arrogantly.

Seeing this, Ajuan stomped her feet angrily. If the younger sister hadn't been obstructing, perhaps everyone would have seen the spectacle of two young women arguing and fighting in the street.

Others thought that Ajuan was angry because of other people's cynicism, but it was not the case.Because she is not inferior to the daughter of the Lou family in her attire today, she took out all her most exquisite and gorgeous silver ornaments, and put them on her wrists, neck, ankles, waist, and top of her head respectively. Dressed in dresses, she showed her curvaceous figure to her heart's content, even a little showy and flirtatious.

Ajuan walks on the road, and she is very attractive. She dresses up as if she is going to pray for her marriage, but she can't attract the attention of her sweetheart.

Along the way, Zhao Kuo seemed to only have Lou Jinghua in his eyes.Wherever the daughter of the Lou family pointed, he would look at it; what the daughter of the Lou family said, he would continue to make her happy; walk slowly.

Such a frivolous and arrogant woman, except for Zhao Kuo, she is probably ignored by anyone.Of course, even knowing the obvious doesn't change anything.

The legend of the "Acacia Tree" has been circulating for at least a hundred years. It was an era that was more chaotic than today.And the tomb with the acacia tree planted is at the foot of the mountain in the southeast of Mount Qunma, which is northeast of the town of Qunma.

Not long after they walked out of the town, they found a path into the mountain along the official road.The road is ups and downs. Although there are stone steps built artificially, the terrain does gradually become more complicated.

This day is not a special day, but there are still many young men and women passing by.They walked on the stairs decorated with jungle and streams, laughing and playing, so uncomfortable and comfortable.

Soon, came to a fork.One goes to the left, there are no stone steps, only a dark and deep muddy path; one goes straight along the stone steps, and a few people set up a checkpoint in the middle of the road, presumably they are the rumored hooligans who collect taxes privately.

These local hooligans did not carry knives, guns and sticks, but they just looked at the fleshy faces, which could scare off the fledgling Xiaoxiao.But all the people who passed the checkpoint obediently paid the lovesickness tax, and even smiled and thanked them repeatedly.

Zhao Kuo thought that there must be something inside, so he and Lou Jinghua stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the elder brothers, which adult is going to collect this road tax?"

"What are adults and villains? This is my family's ancestral grave. Isn't it only natural for me to collect some money?" A middle-aged man with a stubbled face replied: "If you want to cross the road, you can hand over two coins. Let’s take the narrow path next to it.”

Lou Jinghua then asked: "I said this big brother, how do you prove that this is your family's ancestral grave?"

"This stone-step road was repaired with money from our Han family. Girl, you have to prove it and go to the yamen to find it!"

After speaking, the big brother Han sat on a pony by himself, and then the four servants around him rushed forward to block the front, intending to drive away the idlers.

Zhao Kuo was still unyielding, and asked: "As far as I know, there was no such thing as a lovesickness tax on this road before. Why did Brother Han think of setting up a tax card now?"

"It's none of your business, hurry up! It's a waste of my heart..."

When the four young men were pushing and shoving, they accidentally caught a glimpse of some travelers behind Zhao Kuo who were about to go under the acacia tree, so they first moved Lou Jinghua and Zhao Kuo aside to make way. They all stared at the slim and seductive Miao girl in front of them in dumbfounded, and immediately forgot about the tax collection.

"You are the 'King of the Mountain', why do you need to pay money for passing by?" Ajuan said so coquettishly: "My family came here from thousands of miles to ask for sincerity, but I can't imagine that it is not as good as a few stinky copper coins!"

Brother Han saw that Miao girl turned around to leave, so he immediately got up from the saddle and shouted, "Little lady, have you ever seen a mountain king who has neither a sword nor a spear?"

"Really?" Ajuan frowned and thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then, can I pass by? Because I really can't afford two coins... I am alone, and I dare not take the dark and narrow road." trail..."

Big brother Han cherished the flowers and grasses again, and said, "Why not, girl follow me, let big brother take you to find a good marriage!"

"Really!" Ajuan's thoughts turned quickly, but she never expected that such a day would happen to her, and she immediately deceived herself and crossed the checkpoint with the middle-aged man surnamed Han, while the young servants beside her were quietly Celebrating: "Blessed is the elder brother, blessed is the elder brother."
