Among the group heading north, besides He Yunxiao, Chu Chu, and Meng Qingrou, there was also one of He Yunxiao's trusted subordinates, a skilled horseman named Ma Dekuai!
To get to Yinjing as quickly as possible, He Yunxiao personally bought a large cart and four fine horses, essentially upgrading Ma De's equipment.
A carriage, unassuming in appearance but sturdy in its interior made of hardwood, sped along the smooth, gravel-paved official road. It moved steadily and quickly, the dust kicked up by its wheels disappearing from sight before it could even settle.
Ma Dekuai excitedly waved his long whip at the front of the car.
The whip's tail strikes the horse's rump with just the right amount of force, spurring the horse on without injuring it.
A fine, green-skinned horse from Hexi costs a full five hundred taels of silver, so four horses would cost two thousand taels! This price is much higher than that of a courtesan in an ordinary brothel!
Do those delicate women have the strength to withstand my BMW?
Haha! cascoo.net
Drive!
Wuhu!
...
Unlike Ma Dekuai, who was extremely excited outside the car, the atmosphere inside was much more awkward.
Nan Zhu and Chu Chu sat on either side of He Yunxiao, neither of them speaking.
Since there were no outsiders around, Nan Zhu's wife wasn't socially awkward at all, and she didn't even let He Yunxiao take her hand.
Since his wife, Nan Zhu, wasn't taking the initiative, He Yunxiao had to be more proactive himself.
I gently touched Nan Zhu's small hand and quietly held it in my palm.
He Yunxiao sat between the two women, glancing at Nan Zhu's wife out of the corner of his eye. She sat upright, her eyes fixed straight ahead, and acted as if her hand wasn't being held at all.
He Yunxiao then reached out his right hand and quietly took Chu Chu's small hand.
Chu Chu was the same; when her hand was held, she didn't make a sound at all.
The two female leads were secretly competing with each other, which really gave He Yunxiao a headache.
"Rou'er, I bought a lot of pastries, would you like some?"
He Yunxiao wanted to let go to get the pastries, but suddenly realized that he was holding the hands of two female leads, and he couldn't let go of either of them. He Yunxiao made up his mind and simply let go of both of them at the same time. He got up and took the pastries from the storage box in the carriage, put them on the table, and distributed them to Nanzhu and Chuchu.
Nan Zhu's wife was obedient, holding the pastry in her two little hands and munching on it quietly. Chu Chu, however, was different.
"Chuchu, here, some pastries from Guihuafang."
Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao and said, "Your sister likes to eat it, so leave it all for her."
"Chuchu~"
"Passing on my skills is not as important as finding pastries for my sister. Stay away from me, I'm tired."
After Chu Chu finished speaking, she closed her eyes and pretended to doze off. He Yunxiao looked embarrassed, while Meng Qingrou ate pastries while blinking her big eyes, still not understanding what had happened.
