Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

Xia Chuntao didn't realize it and said with a smile: "The main reason is that shopkeeper Li has done a good job in sales. Without the high price set by shopkeeper Li, there would not be such a huge profit today. I have to give shopkeeper Li a big red envelope!"

"In two days, you will go to Rongcheng with me."

"Ok?"

Xia Chuntao was confused by Ling Qingxuan's sudden change of topic.

"Lee An has already scouted the land. Don't you want to settle on it as soon as possible?"

"Oh!"

Xia Chuntao was shocked. I thought Ling Qingxuan was dating her alone!

Of course she was very excited to have such a handsome guy ask her out!

But as a widow, I still have to have some moral integrity.

Besides, in Dai Viet, it was time for Ling Qingxuan to marry and have children at his age, and Xia Chuntao didn't want to be a concubine. Even if Ling Qingxuan is not married, given the conditions he has, he must be good-looking, rich, and powerful. What kind of girl can't be found, and why would she come to you as a widow?

The most valuable thing about people is self-knowledge.

Just be a beauty fan and don't get involved in other people's private lives. There still needs to be a certain distance.

"Then...the prince is going to Rongcheng?"

Ling Qingxuan glanced at Xia Chuntao.

"What do I have to explain to you?"

Xia Chuntao waved her hands repeatedly,

"No, no, no, I'm afraid of delaying the prince's business!"

Ling Qingxuan looked directly at Xia Chuntao, smiling but not smiling.

"Are you so scared?"

Xia Chuntao nodded, then shook her head after thinking about it.

"Don't worry, Li An will show you places, I have other things to do."

Xia Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

If a man and a woman are really alone together, what if I can't control myself and knock the person down?

Prince, you have to thank me for not attacking!

Two days later, with the consent of Mr. Yan and Prince Ling, Xia Chuntao left a litter of children with Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan would discipline them and the ladies of Ling Mansion would take care of them. Xia Chuntao had nothing to worry about.

With plenty of money and sitting on her carriage, Xia Chuntao happily followed Prince Ling and Shopkeeper Li to Rongcheng.

Rongcheng is more than three hundred miles away from Xiyang County.

Although a horse can run three to four hundred miles a day, that is its limit. It needs to rest, eat and drink. The carriage is even slower because of the load and the feelings of the people sitting in the carriage. Basically, an ordinary carriage can only travel fifty or sixty miles a day.

Therefore, it takes almost four or five days to get from Xiyang County to Rongcheng.

Every time she takes the road to Rongcheng, Xia Chuntao misses her little cross-country.

How did Huang An sing that song?

"Yesterday was like the flowing water in the east, you can't stay away from me..."

But there is a good thing. Following Ling Qingxuan, you will be protected by guards, you will be safe along the way, you will have good food and accommodation, and the treatment will be great!

Xia Chuntao sometimes felt that she was a bold thief. There were three carriages, more than a dozen guards, and she was the only woman. Why didn't she think of bringing a few more of her own?

Hey, lust really makes people lose their vigilance!

In order to rush for time, lunch is basically eaten outdoors.

Xia Chuntao is a person who will not treat herself badly.

The horse-drawn carriage is rocking to the point of falling apart, why don't you find something delicious to comfort yourself?

On the first day, Xia Chuntao took out her charcoal stove, cooked the prepared scallion pancakes, and cut into cubes of braised cooked beef. Give one to each of Ling Qingxuan and Shopkeeper Li, and get one for yourself.

The next day, Xia Chuntao cooked the handmade noodles prepared in advance, mixed with homemade fried sauce, and sprinkled with chopped green onion. Before Xia Chuntao went to deliver it, shopkeeper Li took the initiative to come over to eat the rice after smelling the fragrance, and brought the prince's share to the prince's carriage.

The aroma of fried bean paste noodles was so fragrant that the greedy guards salivated.

On the third day, Xia Chuntao bought a piece of tofu and a piece of cabbage from the previous village. She took out the meatballs she had prepared in advance, made a tofu, cabbage, vermicelli and meatball soup, and made some pancakes.

The guards really wanted to stay away, but they couldn't stand the fragrance that filled the surroundings and kept wandering around Xia Chuntao.

Ling Qingxuan took the initiative to come over today. He ate elegantly but not slowly. After finishing a bowl of hot soup, he handed the bowl to Xia Chuntao. Xia Chuntao understood clearly and took another bowl and handed it back.

When shopkeeper Li saw this scene, his hands trembled and he almost overturned the bowl.

What's going on?

The master never expresses his preferences. Does he like to eat this?

Also, are Master and Lady Xia already familiar with each other to this extent?

The master never likes women to be close to each other. Madam Xia is so close to the master, but the master doesn’t react?

Also, the master never asks women to serve him, but the action of handing the bowl to Madam Xia is too natural, right?

Shopkeeper Li had a meal and had mixed tastes.

At noon on the fourth day, we had arrived at the post station twenty miles away from Rongcheng. Xia Chuntao borrowed the inn's kitchen to make a big pot of hot and sour noodles for everyone.

I brought my own vermicelli, meat sauce, and meatballs, and used the fungus, mushrooms, ground beans, and bean sprouts prepared by the inn. Xia Chuntao specially added extra spiciness.

The guards smelled the aroma for three days and finally tasted the real thing!

After eating a bowl of red oily, sour and spicy hot and sour noodles, your whole body will feel warm and ironed.

It turns out these are vermicelli, delicious!

Madam Xia’s craftsmanship is really good! No wonder the prince follows him around every day.

Ling Qingxuan and Xia Chuntao were sitting at a table alone. Shopkeeper Li ran to the side to stay with the guards.

"Your Majesty, is the hot and sour rice noodles delicious?"

"It's okay."

It’s passable again! Isn’t this the only word of praise that Ling Qingxuan has?

"The main reason is that there are not many ingredients, otherwise it would taste better."

It's a pity that Xia Chuntao didn't show her true level.

"When my shop opens, I will make you a genuine bowl of hot and sour noodles."

Ling Qingxuan put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth elegantly with a cotton handkerchief. Xia Chuntao looked at it blankly. Beauty is beautiful in whatever she does!

"Look what I'm doing, eat your hot and sour noodles!"

"Oh." Xia Chuntao buried her head in her meal.

Ling Qingxuan looked at the top of Xia Chuntao's head, and the corners of his mouth curved gently.

Thanks to this appearance, Ling Qingxuan was harassed too many times in the capital. As he grew older, his force value also continued to increase, and all kinds of harassment gradually decreased.

He doesn't like to be stared at.

But surprisingly, when Xia Chuntao stared at him, he didn't feel disgusted. Looking at her big bright eyes, I just thought this woman looked cute and cute.

A person who is so stupid in front of me can actually do a great job in business. It's really hard to tell what a person looks like.

Shopkeeper Li at the next table happened to see Ling Qingxuan smiling at Xia Chuntao.

Master can actually laugh?

Still smiling at Lady Xia!

Does he have to re-evaluate Lady Xia's position in his master's heart?

Some of the guards were disapproving, why is it strange that the prince smiled? When has the prince not smiled when he saw Lady Xia? Shopkeeper Li is so ignorant!

Rongcheng is the largest city in the north. Every day, merchants from all over the world transit or do business here.
