Women in ancient and modern times are the same. They have to dress up before going out, and Xue Weiyang is no exception. But she didn't have any cosmetics, not even the simplest rouge and gouache. She just changed her work clothes and combed her hair and that was it.
A family of three hit the road.
Ning Tao put Ding Ling on his shoulders and acted as a horse for the little cotton-padded jacket. Xue Weiyang felt it was inappropriate and said a few words that neither the father nor the little cotton-padded jacket were happy, so she stopped talking. It would be embarrassing if he scolded the little cotton-padded jacket a few more times and said that she was only allowed to ride daddy.
How could such a thing be seen by the little cotton-padded jacket
She was puzzled.
But this is normal. At that time, how could she have the intention to visit other places? Her heart was filled with Ning Tao, and there was no room for anything else.
Xue Weiyang's home was several miles away from Yecheng. Ning Tao didn't feel tired at all when he was working as a horse for Ding Ling, but Xue Weiyang was a little unable to walk with her bare hands. After all, she was just recovering from a serious illness, and she had been through strong winds and waves, and her physical strength was somewhat overwhelmed. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, quietly wiping off her sweat so as not to let Ning Tao see it.
"Ling'er, come down and walk for a while." Ning Tao said.
"Yes." Ding Ling responded obediently, and then added, "I can walk to Yecheng by myself, and dad doesn't have to carry me on his back."
Ning Tao put Ding Ling down, but squatted in front of Xue Weiyang: "Xue'er, come up."
Xue Weiyang said in surprise: "Brother Ning, what are you..."
Ning Tao circled her legs with his backhand, stood up while she was leaning forward, and carried her on his back.
Xue Weiyang's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, "Brother Ning, I can't do it, I can't do it... Let me down quickly."
Ning Tao carried her on his back and continued walking to Yecheng, saying, "You are my wife, what can I do if I carry you?"
Xue Weiyang said distressedly: "You must be tired after carrying Ling'er for such a long distance. Please let me down quickly. I can walk by myself."
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Leave me alone, I'm not tired. I'll put you down when I can't carry you anymore."
Xue Weiyang struggled for a while, but Ning Tao hugged her tighter, and she gave up. Ning Tao carried her on his back because he was pampering her like a daughter. There was no reason why she didn't like it. She just felt sorry for Ning Tao, but seeing that he was walking steadily, not blushing or out of breath, she let him go.
For someone like Ning Tao, who is almost on the verge of becoming an immortal, the physical labor of carrying someone while walking is almost as if it has never happened and there is no pressure at all. He also likes the process of carrying it. Every step is bumpy, and there is always a gentle collision on his back.
Xue Weiyang could remain calm at first, but after not walking far, she started to react a little abnormally, blushing inexplicably, and her breathing became inexplicably short...
Why is this damn road so long and uneven
Ding Ling jumped up and down in front of the two of them, sometimes picking a wild flower and putting it in her hair.
As we get closer and closer to Yecheng, the small roads turn into big roads, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road. Many people cast strange looks, but Ning Tao didn't care, but Xue Weiyang was so embarrassed that she insisted on coming down and walking alone, so Ning Tao had to let her go.
"Dad, Mom, Yecheng is just ahead, we're here!" Ding Ling looked very excited and ran forward alone.
Xue Weiyang hurriedly stepped forward to catch her and lectured her: "Don't run around alone. What if you get lost? There are many people in the city, so you have to follow your mother and father."
Ning Tao also cooperated and said with a smile: "Ling'er, come here, daddy will take you to buy candied haws."
Ding Ling ran to Ning Tao's side and held Ning Tao's hand: "I want to eat two skewers."
"It's enough." Ning Tao said with a smile.
"Wow!" Ding Ling shouted excitedly.
A family of three walked to the city gate of Yecheng.
The city wall of Yecheng is more than ten meters high and is made of stone bricks. The city gate tower stands on the wall more than ten meters high, which is majestic.
There are soldiers on duty on the city walls, and there are also soldiers on guard at the city gate to check people coming and going.
When Ning Tao, Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling arrived at the city gate, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the city gate, and the soldiers and pedestrians at the city gate retreated.
Ning Tao also pulled Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling aside.
The cavalry team galloped forward, sending billowing yellow dust up the road.
"I heard that Tang Ye, the beloved son of guard Tang Town, went hunting yesterday and has not returned today. These people must have gone to look for Tang Ye." A soldier said.
Another soldier said with a smile: "I'm afraid he fell in love with a girl from a certain family and stayed at that girl's house."
Xue Weiyang couldn't help but glance at Ning Tao. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Ning Tao said: "Xue'er, let's go into the city."
Xue Weiyang nodded and followed Ning Tao into the city.
The street behind the city gate is wide, and there are many shops on both sides of the street. Most of them are open. There are blacksmith shops, some selling cloth, some selling dry goods, some selling medicinal materials, some selling wine, food and snacks, etc. Various.
Ning Tao took Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling to wander around, shopping here and there. He bought several pieces of fabric, some rouge and gouache, and some bedding for Xue Weiyang. Ding Ling held a bunch of candied haws in one hand. Eat with concentration.
It was dusk during this stroll.
Ning Tao took Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling into a small shop selling wine and food, and ordered two kilograms of beef, a plate of steamed buns and a jar of wine.
This era is not the era of more than a thousand years later. When you enter a restaurant, you can order a wide variety of delicacies from the menu, such as Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, etc. The food of this era is simply cooked and steamed. , and there won’t be any seasonings such as MSG or chicken essence. A little salt would be nice.
Liquor is also turbid liquor, which is simply distilled rice wine. It is yellow in color, so it is also called yellow soup. The alcohol content is only about 10 degrees, which is a little higher than the beer of later generations.
But it doesn't matter what you eat or drink. All Ning Tao wants is for Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling to be happy. Of course, he also has a little selfish intention, that is, to give Xue Weiyang some yellow soup so that when he gets home at night, he can open the door to see the other her, that is, the elixir hidden in her body. When she's drunk, what loving intentions can't be satisfied
The family of three gathered around the table, eating beef and steamed buns, drinking wine, talking and laughing, and having fun.
Ning Tao drank too much and didn't react at all. Xue Weiyang got drunk after drinking two bowls, her cheeks were full of wine red, and her dark eyes were a little drunken.
Outside the window, the sun was setting.
Ning Tao poured another bowl of wine for Xue Weiyang: "Madam, have another bowl."
"I'm so drunk... I can't drink anymore... Geez..." Xue Weiyang felt a little dizzy.
Ning Tao smiled and said: "After drinking this bowl, we will go home."
Xue Weiyang looked at Ning Tao with a smile on her lips: "Husband, you got me drunk... what do you want to do?"
The treacherous plot was revealed, but Ning Tao could still maintain a serious look: "I didn't want to do anything. Madam, drink some wine to relax your muscles. It will be good for your health. This is for your own good."
Xue Weiyang's drunken eyes were blurry and her eyes were watering: "Then I'll drink half, and you drink... half."
Ning Tao smiled: "Okay, you drink half of it first, and I'll drink the remaining half."
In the end, Xue Weiyang couldn't stand Ning Tao's persuasion and poured another half bowl of yellow soup into her stomach.
After half a bowl of yellow soup, she was in the right state. She held her cheeks in her hands and looked at Ning Tao with lustful eyes. The fragrant cheeks are rosy, and the whole body is as fresh and tender as a ripe fairy peach. People can't help but imagine her taste.
Ning Tao was also a little distracted and wanted to take her home right away. He drank the remaining half of the bowl of wine she drank, and was about to call the waiter to come over and pay, when a group of three people just walked in from the door of the wine shop, and his raised hand froze in the air.
Among the three people, the one in front of them was tall and had a pair of big ears. The earlobes were even worse than the earlobes of the Bodhisattva in the temple.
The person on the left was born with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face as heavy as a jujube, and a dignified appearance. Especially the strand of beautiful beard, which is black and smooth, and naturally hangs down on the chest, at least more than a foot.
The person on the right is tall and tall, with a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard. His head is like a leopard's. His eyes are so big and bulging that even when he looks at people normally, he feels like he is staring.
These three people…
Ning Tao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, Damn!
Isn't this Liu Bei, one of the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, and his two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
He must have never met these three people before, but he has watched the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The characters in it are all based on historical records, and they are almost the same as the three people. Combined with the descriptions in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they corresponded one to one, so even when they met for the first time, he recognized the three of them at a glance.
What an adventure.
First, they met Diao Chan, one of the four beauties. Now the daughter-in-law had some wine and met Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
If he could bring a camera to this time and space and shoot a documentary, even if he just shoots something casually, he would probably take it back and win the top spot at the box office of the year. For example, I went to toast Liu Bei, took a photo with Mr. Guan, and so on.
The three Taoyuan brothers came in, and the leopard-headed Zhang Fei shouted loudest: "Second servant, bring some jars of good wine and cut twenty kilograms of beef!"
"Okay! Wait a moment, gentlemen," the waiter said and went to the kitchen.
Ning Tao put his hand down, feeling itchy in his heart, thinking about some excuse to chat with the three of them.
Liu Guan and Zhang are almost every Chinese’s idol, and stories about the three of them have been circulating for more than a thousand years. There are all kinds of stories and versions. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming. The three of them also had a great influence on later generations, and they can be regarded as legendary figures who have left a strong mark on Chinese history. Ning Tao is naturally no exception, because he is also a Chinese with upright roots, so when he suddenly meets these three brothers, it is inevitable that he will have a deep-seated idol worship complex.
Just as Ning Tao looked at the three brothers eagerly, the three brothers walked over and sat down at a table next to them.
Zhang Fei glared at Ning Tao, seemingly dissatisfied with him staring at him.
Ning Tao didn't care, smiled in return, and then looked away.
That's Mr. Zhang, he has to give him face no matter what.
