In this way, the carriage traveled for two days. Xu Xiaoyi kept exercising vigorously in the carriage, doing push-ups and getting off from time to time to run. He felt that his physical strength was increasing too slowly. How long would it take him to absorb all this internal energy? It seemed that he had to ask Luo Qingcheng for advice!
"Horseman, where are we now? What is that in front?" asked Xu Xiaoyi in the carriage. He saw a city in front!
"Prince Consort, we are already halfway there. The city ahead is the eastern territory of the southern part, 'Tianhou City,' and our destination is Liang City, which belongs to the northern part."
"Tianhou City? Then what are we doing here?" Xu Xiaoyi asked:
"Prince Consort, we have to go through Tianhou City! This section of the road is a must!"
"Oh! Let's go!"
After a while, the carriage arrived at the city gate, and the guards stepped forward to stop it! When they saw the group of people behind them who were as strong as bulls, they panicked for a moment.
Xu Xiaoyi got off the carriage and pulled out his token to prove his identity, along with the documents for his trip to the front lines. The guards were surprised to see that the man before them was actually the emperor's son-in-law. A son-in-law going to the front lines? Was there no one else at the imperial court needed? Without giving it much thought, they immediately and respectfully let them in!
After entering the city, Xu Xiaoyi saw the prosperous scenery inside. Although it was a little worse than the Ganhuang City, it still felt very good. Compared with here, it seemed simpler and more fun.
Xu Xiaoyi asked the coachman to stop the carriage at a teahouse. He was almost bored after being in the carriage for the past two days. He finally arrived at a place with a lively atmosphere and had to get off the carriage to show off his good looks. He told the coachman that he wanted to wander around for a while, and the coachman immediately stopped him and said:!
"Prince Consort! We have to hurry! If you wander around now, what if something happens and you waste time..."
Xu Xiaoyi waved his hand and said casually:
"Oh, I'm just going for a walk, what can go wrong? I'll be back in half an incense stick of time. You guys go to the teahouse and wait for me. You can also go for a walk and buy whatever you want to eat!"
Xu Xiaoyi waved his hand and left! Except for the anxious groom, everyone else had already sat down in the teahouse. The groom turned around and found that a group of people who were originally drinking tea had left quickly. Only Xu Jia and his group were sitting there drinking tea with a fierce look on their faces. The groom immediately stepped forward and whispered:
"Why are you making such fierce expressions?"
"My parents said that this way you won't get ripped off, and sometimes you don't even have to pay. It works every time I try it, and I find it amazing!"
The groom was speechless for a moment. What kind of dirty tricks did the prince consort teach him? If it were me, I wouldn't dare to accept the money!
Xu Xiaoyi wandered around aimlessly, bought some glutinous rice cakes and ate them on the way. He enjoyed the feeling of girls peeking at him. Then, he saw something lively ahead and immediately walked over. He asked the person next to him:
"What's going on over there?"
"Hey, you're new here! You don't even know this, hahaha." The man said with a smile, holding his stomach.
Xu Xiaoyi immediately grabbed his collar and said fiercely:
"Talk to me nicely, bug! Believe it or not, I, a foreigner, will kill you right here!"
The man was instantly frightened by Xu Xiaoyi's face and then fainted.
"He fainted so suddenly. I'm speechless. I'll go and see for myself." Xu Xiaoyi left him aside and walked over there!
Just when Xu Xiaoyi was grabbing that person and questioning him, an old man on the bustling second floor shouted:
"Today, Fan Xi, the daughter of Fan Dabai of the Fan family, is throwing out a ball to find a husband. The chosen one will receive five hundred taels of silver and a shop on East Street!"
Although the reward was so generous, no one in the audience was excited. A closer look revealed that there were no rich people in the audience! They were all plainly dressed people and beggars.
"Fan Xi is beautiful, but with a punch that could kill a cow, who would dare to marry her if they thought their life was too long? All the people here only came because of her family's wealth," people watching from a distance mocked.
"Exactly. Can good looks be enough to make a living? Besides, she's already been thrown out five times this year. How much does Fan Dabai want to marry her off? But she just won't."
In the attic on the second floor, a long-haired woman in a red wedding dress and a maid holding a hydrangea were about to leave when the fat man behind them hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. He said in panic:
"Xi'er, promise father that you won't refuse to throw the embroidered bouquet this time. Everyone in the city treats our Fan family as a joke! You can't hit anyone anymore. Just find someone to live with! Otherwise, you really won't be able to get married!"
"I understand, father," Fan Xi replied with her head lowered. She felt very unwilling in her heart. Why did her father insist on her getting married when she could obviously live alone?
Fan Xi walked out. Her beauty instantly caused everyone present to exclaim in surprise, but they were still amazed at her strength.
Fan Xi looked at the people below and felt nothing at all. They were all there for the money. The people around him were all there to watch the show, and the people below even had expressions as if they were ready to die.
Fan Xi picked up the hydrangea and looked around for a moment, her movements becoming stagnant. There wasn't anyone here she liked, not even someone she could compromise with. Huh? That elegant, handsome man actually liked me? And he was holding my favorite glutinous rice cake!
Xu Xiaoyi was rushing in with glutinous rice cake in his hands. He didn't even look up to see the scene on the second floor, but just kept elbowing the people next to him.
"Don't squeeze me! I can't see the road! Get out of my way, you bastards!"
Fan Xi was immediately moved when she saw Xu Xiaoyi's crazy spirit. This was the first time she felt that since you chose me, I won't let you lose!
