You will know when the time comes.
If the Fourth Prince and Zhang Chen knew Zhang Shou better, they would realize that these meaningful words could not be measured literally. However, although the two thought they were very familiar with Zhang Shou, they still did not know him well enough. Especially since Zhang Shou actually sent someone to send a letter back to Zhang Garden, telling Zhu Ying that he would not be going back tonight, so they were all misled.
Just because of their bullshit bet, Zhang Shou, who had just married Zhu Ying, had to accompany them to Tongzhou overnight? When the fourth prince and Zhang Chen thought about whether Zhu Ying would hate them for making such a bet after learning about it, they felt a chill in their necks.
Regardless of winning or losing, will they be severely beaten up by Zhu Ying when they return to Beijing in the future
So with such a worried thought, when leaving the city with Zhang Shou, the Fourth Prince tried his best to persuade Zhang Shou not to send them off, and they would complete the bet well, and Zhang Chen, who always had conflicts with the Fourth Prince, also tried his best to support him. However, they talked all the way until they were dry-mouthed, but Zhang Shou kept watching them perform crosstalk with a smile, and the two of them were immediately helpless.
They set out in the evening before the gates of the capital were closed. They simply ate some cooked food they brought with them in the carriage. Even though they had foot and hand warmers and the carriage was surrounded by thick fences, the Fourth Prince and Zhang Chen still felt that the weather was too cold and they were wearing too little. In the end, the two of them couldn't help but lean against each other, and for the first time, they regretted this inexplicable bet.
If we want to make a bet, we should wait until spring. It’s too cold!
It was impossible to make the carriages and sedan chairs airtight these days, so Zhang Shou was of course cold. However, he had Zhu Ying, the little fairy with many treasures. The couple had agreed in advance on this trip, so Zhu Ying had already prepared thick fur coats, warm socks, and waist protectors for him... Anyway, all the cold-proof items were prepared. He was armed from head to toe, and he also had a small red snail charcoal hand warmer in his arms, which was a token of his wife's infinite love, so of course he could still get through it.
But thinking about the fact that this was a night journey, the coachman outside and Ah Liu who followed the carriage would have a hard time, he couldn't help but make up his mind that after he threw the two in his carriage, plus the one sent by the Third Prince and Chu Kuan, to the place where they were, he would not let them come back no matter how much they cried out to the sky or the earth. He would never let them come back until they had stayed there for a full month, so that these two would not cause any more trouble!
Did you think that this was a relaxing trip to Tongzhou, where you could teach and visit families, talk to them earnestly, and then discover some hidden gem, win in one fell swoop, and return to the capital in glory? Haha, that was wishful thinking!
Therefore, seeing the big and small naughty kids in the car being drowsy due to the bumpy ride, Zhang Shou, although he was also suffering, always had a smile on his face as if everything was under control, and never looked outside the car from beginning to end - after all, in that era without street lights, as soon as night fell, nothing could be seen outside except the light of the lantern.
Even if one is not well-trained, traveling at night can be life-threatening. Therefore, if it weren't for the driver from the Duke of Zhao's mansion, he wouldn't dare to accompany him on this trip.
