Mo Junyang watched Shi Qingxue transform from an innocent little girl into a pretty and enchanting young woman, and the corners of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
In the end, he could only smile helplessly and ask: "What do you want to do?"
Shi Qingxue smiled slyly, "Don't worry, I can handle it. Just keep an eye on that little lady in the car and don't let anything happen to her."
She had a vague feeling in her heart that this girl lying on their carriage might be an important person!
After queuing for nearly half an hour, it was finally their turn to enter the city.
A guard wearing a soldier's uniform walked forward casually. When he saw their carriage, he asked Wei Ziye like an uncle: "Who is inside?"
After being told by Shi Qingxue, Wei Ziye calmed down his momentum and answered in a decent manner: "Your Majesty, the young master is sitting inside."
"Open the curtain and take a look." The soldier said politely.
After saying that, he raised his head and lifted the car curtain.
Wei Ziye subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, and the guard immediately screamed like a slaughtered pig.
When the other guards at the back saw this, they all stood up vigilantly and looked over.
"Let go, let go quickly!" the guard yelled, trying to move the brothers.
Shi Qingxue heard something wrong in the carriage, and quickly opened the curtain to stop Wei Ziye, "Ziye, don't be rude, let go of this gentleman quickly."
The car curtain was opened, revealing a beautiful and carefully dressed face under the curtain.
Bright eyes and white teeth are charming.
Coupled with a slight smile, three points of charming becomes ten points.
The guard suddenly looked at Shi Qingxue in a daze and smiled, "What a beautiful lady!"
Wei Ziye's face turned dark, and his murderous intent immediately appeared.
It's just that the guard was so overwhelmed by the beauty that he couldn't feel it at all. He just looked at Shi Qingxue with squinted eyes.
Shi Qingxue secretly told Wei Ziye not to be impulsive.
He continued to smile and said: "This official has given me a reward. I am going back to Jiangzhou with my husband and servants to visit relatives. I hope that the official can be accommodating and make it convenient."
When he heard that he was about to enter the city, the guard's squinty expression finally calmed down a little, and he tried to put on a serious look, "The prefect said that any carriage entering the city must be carefully checked. Who else is in the carriage?"
During the questioning, the guard's dirty hands touched Shi Qingxue's tender little hands.
Shi Qingxue was the first to hold the car curtain and lift it up. She turned her body to the other side and quietly avoided the dirty hand on the pretext of lifting the car curtain for the other party.
The guard missed him and didn't want to catch up again so brazenly, so he poked his head into the carriage.
Mo Junyang was seen sitting on the side of the carriage, with a deep and indifferent face, holding a book in his hand. When the guard asked, he slowly raised his head.
"What's the matter?" His expression did not change, but at a glance, he gave off the feeling of being calm and intimidating.
The guard took a step back unconsciously, and then felt that such an action was too tiring, and shouted angrily to Mo Junyang: "What are you looking at? The officer is checking, come down quickly."
Shi Qingxue's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Mo Junyang would become angry and kill this ignorant guard.
"Sir, sir." She shouted before Mo Junyang could.
The voice was coquettish, like fear, more like coquettishness.
Mo Junyang paused, looked up, and was silent for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything and walked straight out of the carriage.
The guard thought that Mo Junyang was a strong man, he looked very majestic, and would get off the car if he yelled at him casually.
He was very satisfied and was about to give him a few more words of instruction when he realized that Mo Junyang was taller than him.
When people get off the carriage, their tall figures give people a sense of oppression.
Even if he stood on tiptoes and tilted his chin, his aura was much weaker than that of other people.
The guard said to Mo Junyang unwillingly: "You should step back a little more, so as not to hinder the government's errands."
Mo Junyang walked around the carriage and walked to Shi Qingxue.
There was a distance between the two sides across the outer seats of the car. Only then did the guard regain some of his 'official master' momentum. He snorted heavily and looked inside the carriage again.
"Why is there someone else in the car? Come down quickly!" The guard shouted displeasedly when he saw the girl lying in the back.
Shi Qingxue said hurriedly: "Master, please calm down. That is our master's unmarried fiancée. She is not feeling well and is resting in the car. I hope you will forgive me."
Mo Junyang and Wei Ziye looked at Shi Qingxue at the same time, with varying degrees of shock written in their eyes.
"Fiancée?" The guard was also a little surprised and looked at Shi Qingxue up and down. "The one inside is his fiancée, so who are you?"
Yes, they want to know the answer too.
Shi Qingxue's expression remained unchanged and she answered without hesitation: "The slave family is just a concubine that the master bought back to serve, making the official laugh!"
Confused? Wei Ziye: "..."
Silent? Mo Junyang: "..."
The faces of the two grown men were so colorful. When they stared at Shi Qingxue, his pupils suddenly dilated several times. Wei Ziye was so frightened that his mouth opened wide and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
I said these words without blushing and without a beating heart...
How did Shi Qingxue do it
The guard didn't notice the reaction of the two men. He only glanced at Mo Junyang sourly and muttered in a low voice, "Tsk, what a blessing. The concubines are so beautiful, so how good is the unmarried wife? "
He curiously poked his head into the carriage and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"I feel cold and ill. I have a slight fever. I just went to bed not long ago. I hope you can be accommodating."
When Shi Qingxue said this, the guard's expression immediately changed. He didn't even bother to peek at the appearance of the woman in the carriage. He took a big step back and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You can't enter the city. Let's go quickly."
This change of attitude was so sudden that Shi Qingxue couldn't react, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you see what the notice said? No one with a fever is allowed to enter the city."
Shi Qingxue followed the guard's hand and saw clearly the notice posted on the side of the city gate. It said that in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading again in the city, no one who was sick was allowed to enter, especially those with persistent high fever.
Because the first characteristic of plague patients this time was high fever, those people avoided seeing someone with a fever for fear of being infected themselves.
The guard did not dare to enter the carriage to check, and kept waving his hands to drive them away.
Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes and immediately understood what they were afraid of, and said quickly: "Master, you have misunderstood. Our wife really only gets a fever when she catches the cold occasionally. She is definitely not infected with the plague."
While saying this, she secretly stuffed a large gold ingot into the other person's hand.
After receiving the 'heavy' gold ingot, the guard seemed to want to refuse, but was somewhat reluctant to part with such a good thing, and was hesitant for a moment.
"Isn't it really Fenghan?"
When the guard asked this question, Shi Qingxue knew that the former was tempted.
She nodded quickly and responded: "It's really just wind chill! Sir, think about it! Who is not afraid of death? If Madam is really infected with wind chill, can we sit in the same carriage with her? We are also afraid of being infected!"
It's true that my wife caught a cold yesterday and felt very uncomfortable when she woke up this morning with a low fever. That's why we hurried to the city to find a doctor. It's not a big deal, and we are going back to our hometown to visit relatives. Now people are coming to the door of our house, but it's not as good as passing through the door. Entering, how can it be justified
I hope the official will be accommodating and let us in. "
After Qingxue's persuasion, the guard's originally only five points of heartbeat suddenly turned into ten points.
He glanced into the carriage again and asked hesitantly: "Isn't it really an epidemic?"
"It's really not the case, sir, don't worry!"
Shi Qingxue vowed to give her guarantee. After pausing for a while, she stuffed another gold ingot of the same quality into the guard. She smiled and said: "The officials have been guarding the city gate for a day. They must have worked hard. I'll give this to you." Let’s have some wine, and I hope the officials won’t dislike it.”
Her movements this time were not hidden, and she was immediately seen by another guard standing far away. The other guard raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Zhang, you haven't checked yet, okay? Can you come in? Over there?" What are you doing here?"
The guard who was called Brother Zhang was hesitant at first, but after being urged by this voice, he finally couldn't bear to send the big treasure back.
Gritting his teeth, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, get in the car quickly and get into the city quickly. Don't block the road here."
Shi Qingxue was overjoyed, said thank you twice, and quickly pulled Mo Junyang back to the carriage.
The wheels of the car started turning again and slowly drove towards the city.
When Qingxue returned to the carriage, before she could sit firmly, she was embraced by a big hand. The body tilted and fell steadily into that familiar and warm embrace.
The man's warm and ambiguous breath dyed her ears red, "Bought concubine, huh?"
Shi Qingxue was just talking nonsense, saying whatever came to mind without any hesitation. He was having a great time by himself and didn't think much at all.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the incident was over, I would be held in someone's arms to settle the score.
She subconsciously reached out and scratched her ears, not daring to look at Mo Junyang's expression. She pretended to be deaf and said "Ah" and stopped talking.
Mo Junyang had indulged her just now without saying a word, but when they were alone, he would not let her go so easily.
"I don't care about Aunt Gui anymore. What's going on with this 'fiancée' and 'bought concubine'?"
The man's voice is deep and hoarse, and he is not angry or intimidating when he is not smiling.
Shi Qingxue's eyes were darting around, but she couldn't hide anymore, so she defended herself: "You already have a wife you haven't married yet!"
Isn't it her
She's not entirely lying!
"But someone just said that she was the concubine that the master bought to serve..." Mo Junyang thought of the way Qingxue spoke without hesitation just now, and he still can't calm down.
Shi Qingxue is probably the only one in the world who spares no effort to blackmail himself!
When Shi Qingxue was pointed out, she stopped covering up. She looked at Mo Junyang and said in a matter-of-fact tone again: "A wife is not as good as a concubine! I think it's pretty good!"
Mo Junyang: "..."
The man took several deep breaths, but finally couldn't hold it back and snorted coldly: "Then why didn't you say 'it's better to steal than a concubine'?"
