Chapter 145 She is the male favorite of Zhou Shizi
After negotiating with Governor Yan, the group returned to the inn.
Zhou Shaoyu said to Zhou Jin: "Say hello to Li Rong, we are going to a place and will be back in three days."
He asked Xie Yanyan: "I'm going to Chencheng to do some work. Can you come with me? There's something fun to do there."
"Aren't you busy?"
"Not busy." Zhou Shaoyu was as sunny as before, "I have things to do over there too."
Xie Yanyan really wanted to ask him if everything was really alright in his fiefdom.
If he doesn't tell her, she won't ask.
"If you tell Governor Yan your identity, won't they arrest you?"
"Lingnan is a no-man's land. Let alone Fu Rui, even if His Majesty gives an order personally, the people here may not obey." Zhou Shaoyu whispered, "Prefect Yan is a local and has some friendship with my father."
Zhou Shaoyu saw that she was looking at him and was in a good mood: "Change your outfit."
Xie Yanyan was thinking about this, so she returned to her room and changed into a boy's outfit. She had a cool temperament, and wearing this boy's outfit did not seem out of place.
With red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and dressed in plain silk, he looks like a low-key young master from a wealthy family.
She led out a horse and wanted to ride there like them, but Zhou Shaoyu said, "It's raining, you can take a carriage. It will be convenient for you to bring some things back when you come back."
Zhou Shaoyu, Zhou Jin, and Xu Wenrong rode horses, Xie Anfeng drove, and Xie Yanyan sat in the car. The five of them were still their old partners.
On the way, Xie Yanyan's mouth corners were always slightly curved unconsciously, and his whole face was much warmer.
It's great that he can come back safe and sound.
Xu Wenrong asked him: "A few days ago, Chu Xiwang sent a message to my cousin again, saying that Chen Jingyao brought 100,000 troops to attack the King of Nanhai. We are really worried."
"My father and the other generals have already set up camp on the banks of the river. They come from the north and are not good at fighting on water. My father is not afraid."
It was already evening when we arrived in Chencheng. The rain had stopped long ago and there was no water on the road.
Chencheng is very prosperous, even more lively than Xiangyang, and Yongxing City is simply incomparable. Even though it is now the night of the dog, the city gates are still wide open.
Before entering the city, we saw an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages, all of which were fully loaded.
Some people came hurriedly, leading horses. On the horses' backs were two large boxes of something, which were obviously very heavy.
"Why are there so many people coming in and out at night? What kind of stuff are they?"
After crossing the Five Ridges, it was the first time that Xie Yanyan saw a city with so many people, horses, and carriages entering and leaving the city.
Zhou Shaoyu whispered, "Salt."
Xie Yanyan just remembered that in ancient times, the most scarce thing was not just food, but salt, which was a strategic material and the most scarce material.
No wonder she put so much salt on the third level of that treasure cave.
The city wall of Chencheng is much taller and larger than that of Yongxing City and looks very solid, with lanterns hung all over the gate and the city wall.
Before their carriage entered the city, Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong placed their knives in a secret compartment under the carriage.
The city gate has two entrances and exits, one for caravans and the other for civilians. However, not many civilians go in and out at night.
There is a fee to enter the city, one cent per person for ordinary people, and the price for caravans depends on the situation.
When Xie Yanyan and his friends entered the city, they were stopped by guards and asked for a pass.
Zhou Shaoyu handed over the pass he had prepared: "I'm from Xiangyang Tongyuan Trading Company, here to purchase goods."
The guard glanced at them and said, "10 cents."
Zhou Jin handed over the money, and the group entered the city. Beside the city gate were ordinary shabby houses covered with moss, but the buildings became better and better as they went deeper in. At night, the lanterns formed a bright river of lights.
Cross the intersection and enter the bustling commercial district.
On one side there are inns, and on the other side there are brothels, such as Wanhua Tower, Baihua Tower, Feiyun Tower and so on.
The houses on the street are made of blue bricks and glazed tiles, and the streets are wide, with more than enough space for four carriages to run side by side.
They went to Keyue Inn first.
This inn is a relatively luxurious inn on the street. It is very large. According to her previous life, it is a six-star hotel or above.
As soon as they arrived at the store, someone ran over and said respectfully, "Master, you are here."
The man was young, but full of vigor and looked like a wealthy young man.
Zhou Shaoyu nodded, and the man waved his hand. Several servants outside helped them take the reins. The horse went to the stable and they entered an independent yard.
Only then did Xie Yanyan realize that this inn was really big. Not only did it have a whole row of guest rooms in the main building, but it also had many independent courtyards, all of which were rented out to large caravans that came to do business for a long time.
Zhou Shaoyu pointed at Xie Anfeng and the others and said, "This is General Xie, Young Master Xu, and Third Young Master Xie."
He then introduced the man to Xie Anfeng and the others: "Zhou Tu, Zhou Jin's elder brother."
Zhou Tu first bowed and greeted them, Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong also politely clasped their fists, and Xie Yanyan just nodded.
The main building of the yard they rented was an independent building, three stories high, with a total of ten rooms, including an independent bathroom and a small kitchen downstairs. There were two rows of bungalows on the east and west sides, which were warehouses and stables.
Just like the original marquis's mansion, one can eat public meals or cook on one's own.
Zhou Tu had obviously been in this courtyard for some time and was familiar with the place. He arranged a large independent room on the third floor for Zhou Shaoyu.
Zhou Shaoyu pointed at Xie Yanyan and said, "Let her live on the second floor, East 1. The Third Young Master is a light sleeper and is afraid of noise."
Zhou Tu was a little surprised. The east room on the second floor was the one his master had ordered to be cleaned up via carrier pigeon. It was decorated entirely according to the woman's needs and was very meticulous.
He always thought that it was prepared for Princess Xiyue, the beloved jewel in the crown of King Nanzhong.
Zhou Jin said happily: "Third...Master, don't worry, my brother may have done it."
Zhou Tu looked at Xie Yanyan twice more.
[This person is quite capable. Ah Jin doesn't easily give in to others.]
Xie Yanyan went to the room arranged by Zhou Tu first, and immediately a maid brought water for her to wash her face.
"Third Young Master, please wash up and let's go have dinner!" said the maid, "Your servant Qinglian, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Um."
Xie Yanyan wanted to take a bath, and seeing Qinglian standing aside, he said, "I want to take a bath, won't you avoid suspicion?"
Qinglian said "oh" and went out quickly.
[Isn't this room for my princess? How come a little boy is living here?]
Princess?
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and put her hair neatly on top of her head, revealing her smooth and full forehead.
This is not a costume drama. In the real Former Qin Dynasty, people would not leave their hair loose on their foreheads like in costume dramas. Their hair was always neatly combed.
Even for princes and nobles, their daily clothes were not that complicated; they were simple yet elegant.
She took out a black jade hair crown from the men's hair crowns selected from the Sihai Pavilion in Chang'an, dressed herself neatly, put a simple jade pendant on the hem of her clothes, and left the room.
Qinglian didn't leave, but waited at the door. When she saw her come out, she looked cold and immediately put on a smile.
Apart from looking a little feminine, this little prince looks really noble. I wonder which prince's family he belongs to. Could he be the seventh prince?
Xie Yanyan asked calmly: "Are you from the store?"
"Replying to the Third Young Master, I am the maidservant of Princess Xiyue."
"Princess Xiyue?"
"Princess Xiyue is the apple of the eye of Prince Nanzhong's eye and is best at making salt."
[The King of Nanhai wants my princess to be the Crown Prince of Zhou’s consort]
[The princess said that Prince Zhou was a waste, he had been a hostage for ten years and was spoiled by the emperor]
[The Third Young Master is not his male lover, is he?]
