The carriage driver came to report to Rong Ting that the carriage was about to pass through the gate of Luyan Town.
If you leave this city gate, you will leave Jinling completely.
Jiang Rao quietly listened to the voices outside, her face still blushing.
She used to bite her lip when she was struggling, but now she just frowned, not daring to touch it.
Even if you don't touch her, you will know that she is a little swollen.
I don't know if the movement just now has been heard by people outside.
If someone else heard it...then she really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
Before burying herself, she had to drag Rong Ting as a backing for her! Who told him to make her like this.
It wasn't until she heard what the carriage driver and Rong Ting said was serious, that her breathing became steady, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted again. When Rong Ting came in, seeing her, she couldn't help but curl her lips. .
The little girl curled up there like a rabbit hiding in its nest, looking at him warily.
"I have just passed Luyan Town, twenty miles away from the capital."
He said, "Even if we drive fast and travel day and night, the trip will take at least ten days to reach Huaizhou. Chuzhou is earlier, and it will take nine days."
Jiang Rao's thoughts were almost distracted by his expression of talking about business, but seeing his moist lips, she suddenly remembered the scene just now, her face was flushed red, and she complained: " You... you have no regard for etiquette."
"We are not married yet, how can..."
Her cheeks were a little thinner at the moment, and the blush never faded away.
Rong Ting squatted down in front of her with his knees half-bent, his gaze rested on her swollen lips, darkened secretly.
Seeing Jiang Rao's instinctive alarm bells, he immediately sank his chin, sank half of his face into the collar of his cloak, and only looked at him with two wet eyes.
Seeing her hiding, he leaned forward again, looked up at her, supple and well-behaved, and said innocently: "You hid in my carriage first."
For the first time, Jiang Rao frowned like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Is it because she sent it to the door by herself
She glanced at him in embarrassment, and continued to wrap herself tightly in the cloak.
He lowered his brows, looking even more aggrieved than her, "If it's really according to etiquette, you shouldn't have come here."
It means "you provoked me first".
Jiang Rao choked.
She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. When she saw his face, her heart softened easily. He stood up much taller than her, but he always liked to kneel down beside her knees and look at him. Grandfather The little white dog raised in the yard is not as pure and childish as him, which makes people pitiful.
What a scourge.
She opened her mouth to defend herself, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word, and she hung her head at a loss for words.
It is true that she did not respect etiquette first.
Ben also wanted to ask him if he really remembered those two drunken incidents, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dig his own grave in the end.
If you ask, although he can settle the account of his belittling her, but the time she belittled him, it can't be justified, and it will make her image of being impolite.
Jiang Rao continued to hide in the cloak and did not want to raise her eyes, her voice was muffled inside and sounded much softer, "Why did you kiss me?"
Rong Ting's eyes darkened.
Looking at her expression, he said slowly and tentatively, "You will be my wife in the future."
He was testing her bottom line.
Test how far she can tolerate him.
Jiang Rao tasted his words, even though he was so beautiful and his tone was gentle, but once she connected with his actions just now, she always felt that there was an unreasonable hooliganism hidden inside.
She will be his wife in the future.
But the marriage contract... She has always regarded the marriage contract as a nominal matter.
She also wanted to wait until the queen fell and no one threatened him, so she left and continued to roam around.
She grew up wandering, she is greedy for the freshness of walking from one place to another, the mountains and rivers and scenery of Jokhang. Others may feel panic when they leave their hometown, but she only thinks it is fresh.
Before getting engaged, she had asked him if he could give her a divorce letter first. If he did, she would dare to use her marriage as a bargaining chip against the queen without any hesitation.
At that time, he obviously agreed readily, and Li Shu even came to her one step before the marriage was granted, so she thought that he understood her mind.
But listen to what he said right now...
Does he not understand? Or do you think that as long as they get married, they are a real couple
Jiang Rao wanted to ask clearly, but she couldn't get the words out.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with being so confused.
She thought about the temperature in his arms just now, which clearly smelled like a cool medicine, but it was very down-to-earth.
Her face was getting redder and redder, and her head was buried lower and lower in the cloak. As soon as her eyes softened, she was pulled into an embrace by Lian Ren and the cloak, and he kissed her twice again through the cloak , when she looked at him, she even blinked at her, the movement was very presumptuous, but the eyes seemed very clear and innocent.
Jiang Rao sighed in her heart, terribly.
He has both the good-looking face and reliable soul that make her feel.
If you are confused, just be confused, she doesn't want to think too clearly, so let him forget it.
At noon the sun was on the head, and the convoy stopped in a small town.
Huai Qing came and knocked on the door of the carriage, "Your Highness, Luotan Town has arrived."
Jiang Rao lifted the curtain of the car and walked out. Her cloak was tightly buttoned, and half of her face was still buried in the cloak, for fear that others would see what she had experienced.
Seeing Jiang Rao, Huaiqing opened his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and stuck in place like a log, "Fourth, fourth girl?"
Rong Ting lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out of the carriage at this moment, he said softly, "What are you surprised about?"
After he came down, he grabbed Jiang Rao's sleeve, "She is walking with us, and she will come down when she reaches Chuzhou."
Chuzhou. Huai Qing thought about it, this is not far from Huaizhou, it is really extraordinary to be able to follow so far.
He looked at Jiang Rao again, his eyes couldn't help being filled with admiration, but he quickly frowned, showing embarrassment, "I thought about hurrying on my way, just eat some pancakes with tea on the floor. But the girl is beautiful and rich I'm used to it, why don't you take the girl to a restaurant in the town and use some good ones, I'm afraid the girl won't be used to eating those cakes and cold water."
"No." Jiang Rao shook his head hastily, Huaizhou is in dire straits, and he might suffer a day later, "I'm not here to be a burden."
She is petite, her face is white, soft, and clean. Even though her clothes are not as exquisite as those in Jinling, but she is set off by the dark-skinned, stubble-grown soldiers behind. The tired Jiaohua made her words seem particularly unconvincing.
Seeing Huai Qing looking at her worriedly, Jiang Rao quickly testified, "I also brought dry food myself."
She glanced back, her gaze fell to a distance of two acres of fields, and she pointed to a carriage parked there, "There is my family's carriage and maid guards, besides the things I use, they also bring food and grass. Some herbs may be useful."
She insisted on keeping up with Rong Ting's convoy because she really brought too many things. It was a long way to go to Chuzhou. The more things she brought, the more she would be like moving fat. She smelled the fragrance and came here. A day or two is not enough for her to find a trustworthy bodyguard from the Escort Bureau. It is better to follow Rong Ting's convoy and be protected by his soldiers. Keep her safe and let her parents rest assured.
Jiang Rao thought about it for a while, Rong Ting seemed to regard the marriage contract as such a thing, she was a little guilty before she came here, but now she has full confidence, she looks for her man to protect her, there is nothing wrong with her.
What's more, most of her things can be used as military rations, if not, she can still pay silver for military pay.
Rong Ting assigned Huai Qing to find a few people to check and count the carriage brought by Jiang Rao, and he looked at Jiang Rao who came back from fetching the cakes, "How did you hide in my carriage?"
Jiang Rao lowered her eyes, trying to break open the cake in her hand, and said, "The person you arranged to check every carriage knows me."
"Don't punish him," she added.
Rong Ting nodded, and when he nodded, his eyes were always glued to her, looking very obedient.
In Jiang Rao's eyes, it was the kind of cuteness that was magnified a hundred times after doing something wrong.
For the time being, she didn't care about anything, she broke off half of the cake in her hand and wanted to share it with Rong Ting, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her hand and tore off a corner of the bigger piece of cake that was supposed to be given to him. Throw it into your mouth.
Her little movements of picking and searching are really cute.
Rong Ting took the piece of cake, and saw that at least no one else was treated by her, with a slight smile in his eyes.
Jiang Rao looked around, some men just sat on the ground and ate cakes, she really couldn't sit on the ground, so she just sat on the shaft of the car, ate cakes in small bites, drank a sip of water occasionally, although she was slow, she didn't show any disgust expression.
Huaiqing is wrong, she is used to fine clothes and fine food, but because of this, occasionally rough tea and light food will not only make her unaccustomed to eating, but also feel fresh. passed.
Ming Shao came from the Jiang family's carriages from a distance, and seeing Jiang Rao sitting on the shaft eating this kind of hard cake, her face immediately became aggrieved.
Before she came, she wanted to bring some of Jiang Rao's favorite food as dry food for the road. She could even bring the cook in the house who was familiar with Jiang Rao's taste. Rao herself didn't want to, saying that there is only one cook, and it's okay to cook for a few people. I'm afraid it's not enough to cook for a whole caravan. Since I can't make everyone in the caravan eat the same food as her, it's better for her to be like them. .
Seeing Ming Shao's sad eyes, Jiang Rao knew what she wanted to say, afraid that she would bring up the past again, so she stopped her with his eyes.
Ming Shao had no choice but to stop talking about the meal, and just asked Jiang Rao, "Girl, you also saw His Highness Jiu, after a while, shouldn't it be time to go back to our carriage?"
She glanced at Rong Ting, and for some reason, she always felt uneasy when Jiang Rao wasn't taking care of her.
Rong Ting, who had been quietly and obediently by Jiang Rao's side, raised his eyes slightly at this moment.
Jiang Rao nodded, Ming Shao looked at her eating, suddenly frowned, leaned closer to Jiang Rao's face and looked carefully, "Girl, why are your lips...a little swollen?"
Jiang Rao almost choked for a moment, coughed, covered her lips with a cake, and staggered, "I'm not acclimatized."
"Is it serious?"
It was Rong Ting who asked this question, she was slightly annoyed when she heard that, and cast a concerned look at the man who came over to ask her.
It's not that he doesn't know what's going on with her acclimatization.
If you ask questions knowingly, the crime will be aggravated.
She wanted to tear the pancake in his hand again.
Ming Shao said "ah", "Then do you want to go back?"
"It's not serious, it'll be fine after a while." Jiang Rao shook her head.
She kept a smaller piece of cake for herself, but she really didn't have much appetite, so she broke off a piece from the side she hadn't bitten, and handed it to Ming Shao, "Are you still hungry?"
"The slave has already eaten, I don't have any appetite." Ming Shao shook his head.
Rong Ting's face darkened slightly, he looked at Jiang Rao quietly, and took the small piece of cake from Jiang Rao's hand, "I want it."
Ming Shao stood by Jiang Rao's side, handed Jiang Rao water once, Rong Ting watched from the side, and when Ming Shao wanted to hand Jiang Rao water for the second time, his action was one step faster than Ming Shao's.
One time was okay, two times and three times were like this, Ming Shao's hand to grab the water bag always found nothing in the end, and couldn't help but look at Rong Ting who was always ahead of her.
I vaguely feel that Rong Ting's temperament is... very weird.
She is obviously a master, so why not steal her job as a maid
Jiang Rao didn't even have time to notice the undercurrent surging under her eyelids. She decided not to be a burden, and looked aside from time to time, seeing that others were eating fast, so she stuffed two more bites of pancakes into her mouth, not wanting to because She delayed the trip by herself, finished her meal hastily, took a last sip of water from the water bag that Rong Ting handed over, and heard Ming Shao ask her, "Miss, are you leaving?"
Jiang Rao nodded, put down the water bag and was about to leave, but her sleeve was caught by something, she thought it was a wooden thorn on the shaft, afraid of scratching the sleeve, she didn't dare to lift it up, looked down, but saw Rong Ting At some point, the hand came up without anyone noticing.
The slender phalanges of his fingers were slender and well-jointed, sticky and entangled with the fabric at the corner of her sleeve.
It was obvious that he didn't want her to go.
Jiang Rao looked at him, waiting for him to speak, he opened his mouth, and said surprisingly, "I won't do things to annoy you like I was in the carriage again."
Jiang Rao's face turned red again, and she immediately had the urge to cover his mouth.
"What's the matter?" Ming Shao sharply raised her ears.
Jiang Rao trembled, hesitated, and said to Ming Shao: "It's just that there are some disagreements. Ming Shao, you should go back first, and I will discuss it with him."
After all, it was the two who had already engaged in marriage, there was a slight inconsistency, it was harmless, Ming Shao didn't interfere too much, Jiang Rao told her to leave, and she left.
When Ming Shao left, Rong Ting's face turned pale.
Jiang Rao boarded the carriage, looked at Rong Ting's innocent face, couldn't help stamping her feet, and said anxiously, "You can't speak out."
The person being trained lowered his head and nodded steadily, his eyes were not sharp, and there was a bit of cunning hidden in the eyes blocked by eyelashes.
"Yeah." He agreed.
In the evening, the convoy was stationed in the suburbs.
The sky is full of stars, and Jiang Rao's tent is set up next to Rong Ting's tent.
Ming Shao burned the grass that could repel mosquitoes, and after lighting it, she went outside to take turns guarding the night with the other two maids.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
The bumpy road was a bit tiring, but Jiang Rao was a bit resigned to the bed and changed the environment. Even though she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Eyelids were closed tightly, and opened again by a ray of light.
The eyes that opened suddenly couldn't see anything clearly, and could only vaguely see a figure holding a lamp. Jiang Rao rubbed his eyes, his tone was vague, and before he could fully adapt to the light in the tent, he called Ming Shaoyu'er's name, the voice is delicate, and the appearance is dull and cute. After blinking a few times, the sight became clear, only to find that the extra person in the tent is a man.
She didn't scream or panic, because this man was her man in name.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that the figure outside the tent was gone, she was a little surprised, "Why is my maid missing? Where are they?"
"This kind of place is full of men. They are too conspicuous. I told them to go back to the tent and arrange someone to guard it. As for you, I'll just guard it."
He smiled as if taking credit, he didn't know if his smile was too full, or it was the first time she just stared at his lips uncontrollably when looking at him, instead of looking at each other when looking at people as usual For the first time, she noticed that the canine tooth on his left was very sharp.
Jiang Rao suddenly thought of what happened during the day, and suddenly felt a sense of danger in her heart, pulled the quilt to cover herself, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep peacefully.
But the sound of breathing is no lie.
His cool fingers pressed on her forehead that was exposed outside the quilt, so cold that she opened her eyes suddenly, and she was about to complain and ask "what are you doing", but before she could say it, he spoke first.
His tall figure was half lying on her side, the lantern was put aside, and his face was propped up, looking at her pitifully. There seemed to be a tail wagging behind him, and his hoarse and low voice lowered his voice, making his tone even more coquettish. Hard to refuse, "I can't seem to sleep."
