peasant girl allure

Chapter 639
The next morning, Xiao'er and the others set off, Shangguan Xuanyi sent her out of the city, and gave her careful instructions beside the carriage along the way, Xiao'er felt that he was more wordy than Liu Shi.

Under Xiao'er's teasing gaze, Shangguan Xuanyi closed his mouth impatiently.

"Take care of yourself!" At the fork in the road, Shangguan Xuanyi said something again, and then reluctantly glanced at Xiao'er in the carriage, then stopped the horse and let their carriage go first, until Xiao'er's carriage He turned a corner and could no longer see, so he took his men and horses to another road.

After the horse ran for a short distance, Shangguan Xuanyi still felt uneasy after thinking about it, he said to Feng Yang: "Feng Yang, you follow County Lord Rui'an to Shengping County to celebrate his birthday."

Feng Yang: It was like a bolt from the blue!He also wants to go to war instead of being a guard!

County Lord Rui'an just went back to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, so what's the matter with several hidden guards!

Shangguan Xuanyi seemed to know what Feng Yang was thinking, he glanced at Feng Yang: "To me, she is more important than anything else."

Feng Yang was shocked when he heard these words, he lowered his head in shame: "This subordinate will definitely protect County Lord Rui'an unscathed."

For him, the master's business is the most important thing.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "Go!"

Feng Yang ordered to go.

Feng Yang went directly to Xiao'er's carriage to protect her nearby.

Xiao'er heard the sound of horseshoes, opened the curtain and saw that it was Feng Yang, she was speechless to Shangguan Xuanyi's move.

Feng Yang bowed his hands to Xiao'er and said: "The master asked me to protect the county master."

Xiao'er nodded: "Thank you."

She didn't say anything about asking him to go back, anyway, it's useless to say it, there is no difference between one more person and one less person to "watch" her, forget it, don't care about it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Xiao'er, the Sixth Prince really cares about you."

In this way, she felt at ease, and Xiao'er would live well after marrying.

This is undeniable, Xiao'er nodded: "It's just a bit long-winded."

Liu Shi and Yun'er both laughed when they heard this.

……

Xiaoer and the others went home this time with light and simple packs. Mrs. Liu carried little Jing Zhe with her two daughters in a carriage, Jing Rui and Jing Hao had a carriage, and the other carriage contained some luggage and birthday presents and other gifts. , and several guards, of course Yangliu Yangmei also accompanied.

They took the official road. In the past few years, many main roads between counties have been repaired.And unless it is really dangerous and insurmountable, the main road is built in the shortest way between two points as far as possible, so many official roads are built on the mountain.

This greatly shortens the round-trip time between the north and the south, and brings convenience to many businessmen.

However, someone has calculated that from the extreme south to the extreme north, the road and bridge tolls need at least three taels of silver!It may not be enough to walk all the official roads in all counties of the country.

The total income from road and bridge tolls in the past two years surprised the emperor, and he sighed that the road leads to wealth.

It took more than half a month for the group of them to hurry and rush, and finally entered the boundary of Shengping County.

Before going down the official road, I encountered another toll station.

Zhao Yong took out fifty coins and lined up to pass the station. There happened to be a caravan passing by in the opposite lane, a total of twelve carriages.

Xiao'er opened the curtain and looked over, just in time to see the leader of the merchant across the street took out a tael of silver and handed it to the toll collector.

"My lord, please do me a favor, we are in a hurry."

The toll collector took a tael of silver and removed the barrier: "Let's go!"

Xiao'er's eyes widened: Calculated according to the overloaded carriages, one carriage needs to pay fifteen Wen, and their ten carriages only need to pay 150 Wen at most!

The man gave a tael of silver!Is this too much money?
Businessmen are the most penny-pinching, if it is really a caravan, how much time can be wasted passing a toll booth?There is really no need to tip so much money!

Unless he wants to avoid the inspection of the toll collector!
Xiao'er was right, the toll collector collected the money and let them go without even asking what was in the carriage.

Xiao'er looked at the convoy passing by slowly, and found a few grains of rice dropped by a carriage.

food?There is a lot of grain in twelve carriages!However, this made it even more unreasonable for the road and bridge tolls to be given by the one tael of silver.

In the past two years, food prices have been falling.Many people are self-sufficient, and even have surplus food, which makes it difficult to sell food!Profits are few and far between!

It is very unreasonable for a grain merchant to be willing to pay so much travel expenses.

Besides, there is no need to evade inspections just for grain. Grain merchants are all led by grain, so there is no need to be so evasive!

The idea of ​​being in a hurry also deceives these toll collectors who are trying to make extra money.

If things are abnormal, there must be a demon!
Xiao'er suppressed the doubts in her heart for the time being, and after their carriage passed the toll booth, Xiao'er said to Feng Yang: "Feng Yang, turn around and follow the caravan."

"Master said that for him, County Lord Rui'an is the most important thing." In other words, he didn't care about other things except protecting her safety.

It's not that Feng Yang didn't notice the abnormality of the caravan, it's just that he promised his master to protect County Lord Rui'an, and he naturally ignored other matters.

Xiaoer dizzy!Things are prioritized, okay?But Feng Yang had a determined look on his face, so Xiao'er didn't waste her words, so she said, "That's alright, Feng Yang, you can drive the carriage, Zhao Yong, go check out the caravan."

Zhao Yong: "Girl, the master told me to drive the carriage well on the way, and protect you when you don't have to drive. Apart from your business, don't worry about other things."

Xiao'er looked at the sky speechlessly after hearing this, needless to say those hidden guards, it is impossible to investigate, Shangguan Xuanyi, why don't you send a few more people to use for yourself!As for the guards in her mansion, Xiao'er shook her head, after all, they are not as skilled as others!

It's really when people come to use it, they hate less!
Seeing Xiao'er's aggrieved expression, Yang Liu couldn't help laughing and said: "Girl, the Sixth Prince is most concerned about the girl's affairs. His arrangements must be comprehensive, and the girl just orders."

Xiao'er suddenly realized after hearing this!Since Shangguan Xuanyi has arranged people to protect him, those people naturally have to listen to his words, if they don't listen, she can just drive him away!

So Xiao'er cleared her throat and said, "Zhao Yong, I will leave it to you to find out what's wrong with that caravan!"

Zhao Yong has the heart to kill Yang Liu!Doesn't she know what it means that more things are worse than less things?

This time back to Shengping County to celebrate the birthday, the most important thing is to arrive safely and return safely!
According to his experience as a coachman for many years, the girl is someone who can cause trouble even if she has nothing to do, let alone now that she wants to cause trouble on her own initiative!

There is no leisure at all!
Zhao Yong resigned himself to running errands.

Xiao'er looked at Zhao Yong's face of death and smiled: "Yang Liu, Zhao Yong probably wants to kill you."

Yang Liu: "Don't worry, girl, he doesn't dare."
