The lady is stunning, she hides her secrets

The ship has docked.

The imperial capital of the Beimu Dynasty was right next to the port. Like Yuangang City, there were frequent water trade exchanges, and there was a closed road leading directly to Xiyan Pass. Such convenient transportation made this very prosperous city.

As soon as Ban Qing came up, he was very curious about the long-known imperial capital, and kept looking in the direction of the palace with his feet up.

But they still have to pass first.

As Zhong Ling expected, the border check here is very strict.

There was a long queue outside the port, and those who disembarked had to go through strict screening before they were eligible to enter.

Those who are suspicious will be taken away on the spot and sent to the government office for interrogation.

They queued for more than half an hour before they reached the checkpoint.

The officer and soldier had swords on their waists, holding Zhong Ling's and Ban Qing's household registration certificates, and checked them repeatedly.

Ban Qing used his real identity, and answered truthfully, without needing to lie, and answered quite smoothly.

Then the officer and soldier began to ask about his newlywed wife who was traveling with him.

Unlike Ban Qing, Zhong Ling's household registration document was fake from beginning to end, and he had to make up a false identity for himself so that he would not reveal his flaws when faced with strict questioning by officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers asked: "Liu Cuihua, just married?"

Zhong Ling answered cautiously: "Yes, yes."

Ban Qing was nervous about his wife, but he soon realized that he was thinking too much.

Zhong Ling's nervousness was all feigned, he was very stable.

Facing the officers and soldiers' cross-examination, his answers were flawless. It was written on his household registration that he was the daughter of a villager, so he was able to describe to the officers and soldiers on the spot a past of "before getting married, I went to the field with my father to plant rice seedlings".

Cuihua is like a young daughter-in-law who has never seen the world. When she first arrived in the imperial capital, she looked excited, restless, and a little tired from the long journey.

It also fits his current identity very well.

Guan Bingwen: "Your household registration is quite out of the way. How did you marry this guy? The guy is not ugly, and he still has a few acres of land."

After all, Banqing's household registration is a landed villager, and his family background is better than Cuihua's. If Cuihua is beautiful, then it makes sense.

Then Ban Qing was dumbfounded and looked at the lady with red eyes.

Ban Qing also understood what the officers and soldiers meant, and couldn't help being a little angry: "My lady, it's okay, no matter what you are, you are the most beautiful person in my heart."

Cuihua held Ban Qing's hand tightly: "Master, are you sincere?"

Ban Qing's heart became hot: "Where can I find a woman who treats me so well? The girl is good, she cooks deliciously, and she loves me."

The officer and soldier felt a little emotional: "My mother-in-law is also average-looking, and she cooks well. She also has me in her heart. Brother, you are young, but you understand better than I thought... Okay, you young couples live together. "

They pass the test, but they pass faster than others.

Ban Qing still hugged Zhong Ling's shoulders tightly, thinking that Zhong Ling was really sad, and he didn't even have time to look at the scenery of the imperial capital that he had longed for for a long time: "My lady, no matter what you are, I like you. In my heart, it's the prettiest."

"So it's not because of my face that you like me?"

"Of course it's because of someone who likes you!"

Ban Qing, who was tossed about on the boat, gave a standard answer without hesitation.

Zhong Ling is satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Ling pretended to be a village girl who had never seen the world, and did not let go of Ban Qing. Such dependence made Ban Qing feel warm in his heart.

"My lady, which direction are we going next?"

Before Zhong Ling could speak, there was a feeling of being watched.

His voice was like a mosquito: "It's all up to the husband to decide."

Ban Qing did not doubt that he was there: "Then I will choose a random path and go, let's go shopping."

Zhong Ling looked like a young daughter-in-law: "It's my husband's."

That line of sight left.

Zhong Ling walked quite a distance before looking back to where he was standing just now.

There are many tall buildings nearby.Zhong Ling glanced back, not wanting to attract attention, and quickly turned around.

Ban Qing: "What's wrong?"

"Did you feel it? There was a master just now."

Ban Qing asked blankly: "Is there any? I'm already looking at the imperial city."

Zhong Ling smiled: "It's okay, then let's go on."

They walked along the street pointed by Ban Qing for a while, and Zhong Ling dragged him to another direction.

Ban Qing: "Lady, do you want to go this way? Yes, no problem."

The imperial capital is not the same as Yuangang City. In the bustling here, there is something that has accumulated over the years, and a heavy sense of history blows over us.

Ban Qing was dazzled: "Wow, what does this store sell? There are so many people."

Zhong Ling glanced at it: "Is this shop?"

He looked at it, and said in Ban Qing's ear: "The things in this store look good, but they are not interesting. They are here to fool foreigners, so the business has been good."

Outsider Ban Qing: "My lady, you know a lot."

But he didn't expect Zhong Ling to say next: "I opened this store. Although the things are all deceitful, I still made a lot of money."

Ban Qing: "!"

Before he could say "My lady is amazing", Zhong Ling had already led him inside: "Did you see that? Except for the grocery store and the restaurant on the east side of this street, I don't own it. The shop and the title deed are all in my hands."

Ban Qing: "..."

He was dragged away by Zhong Ling with no temper at all.

Zhong Ling turned across a street: "The shop over here is also mine."

"There are three shops on this street that belong to us."

Ban Qing was already numb: "Just say that it's not yours."

Zhong Ling smiled: "Walk in the direction of the palace, my brother and I don't have much land. Most of the shops over there are decades or hundreds of years old. It's not easy for us to take them down. Only the port side It is newly built. Ten years ago, my brother bought a lot of them, and now he is rich.

Zhong Ling led Ban Qing around, until they came to a residential alley.

"When we get here, we don't actually need to stay in a hotel."

Zhong Ling looked around to see if there was no one around, jumped into the courtyard, and opened the door from the inside.

This is a small yard, and Zhong Ling pointed out a room to Ban Qing: "You take a rest first, change your clothes, I'll boil some water for you, and wipe your body."

Ban Qing wondered: "Now?"

Zhong Ling glanced at Ban Qing.

Ban Qing finally understood, obediently listened to the lady's words with red face, and went to change clothes.

After Ban Qing finished wiping and changed his clothes, he found that the lady had also changed into a new set of clothes, her facial features had not changed, but she looked better than before.

Zhong Ling glanced at him: "Since I brought you to the imperial capital, I want to eat and have fun, and I don't want to lose you."

After he changed his clothes, he didn't look like a country girl anymore, at least he looked like a city man.

Then Zhong Ling took out a stack of household registration documents and picked them out for a while: "I found it, this is it."

Ban Qing leaned over to have a look.

It is still the three big characters "Liu Cuihua" that come into view.

Ban Qing: "...Is this different from the previous ones?"

Zhong Ling said implicitly: "This is at least the status in the city, which is better than the previous one."

Ban Qing didn't know what to say for a moment, he could only express that the lady was happy.

After a little grooming, the two continued to set off.

Zhong Ling is still dressed as Cuihua, but Ban Qing has started to get used to it a bit, he can see Zhong Ling's real expression on Zhong Ling's face through a layer of blindfold.

"Zhong Ling, where are we going next?"

Zhong Lingxian had planned it long ago: "Let's wander around casually, and don't need to do anything special today."

Ban Qing was fascinated by the imperial city, looking around curiously.So he didn't realize that Zhong Ling just looked relaxed, but he was still thinking about something.

They walked towards the center of the imperial city.

The majestic city walls of the imperial palace can already be vaguely seen.

They passed Lan Shan Tang in the imperial capital.

The two of them happened to be thirsty, so they ordered tea to take a break in a teahouse diagonally opposite.

Ban Qing commented: "This Lanshantang is really magnificent, much bigger than the one in Yuangang City."

Zhong Ling nodded: "This Lanshantang is the main store in the north and south of the river, and it is at the foot of the emperor, so it is naturally extraordinary."

Ban Qing was still thinking about the two medicines that Zhong Ling didn't ask: "After we drink tea, go in and inquire, ask if Dr. Xiaochi is there, and say hello to him for the old man."

Lanshantang is full of people coming and going, and the business is very lively.

But while they were sitting for a while, they saw three or four doctors coming out of Lanshan Hall, carrying a medicine box and leading a child, and they looked like they were going somewhere together.

Zhong Ling asked Xiao Er to come to refill the tea, and gave a reward by the way, and inquired: "This little brother, the doctors of Lanshantang, where are you going?"

Xiao Er, who received the reward, was extraordinarily considerate: "Are you a visitor from Jiangbei? Everyone in the imperial capital knows about it. Prime Minister Guan's wife is seriously ill, and Prime Minister Guan is recruiting all the doctors in the city to help His wife is seeing a doctor."

This little second brother is obviously very aware of what happened in the imperial city: "The imperial palace has sent several imperial doctors, but none of them can be cured, but Prime Minister Guan is very anxious, saying that as long as the prime minister's wife can be cured, Prime Minister Guan will definitely reward you a lot. "

Zhong Ling was thoughtful: "When did this Mrs. Guan get sick?"

"It was last winter. Didn't the daughter of the Guan family want to marry into the imperial palace as a noble concubine? But she didn't marry in, so it was said that Miss Guan died of a sudden illness. Since then, Mrs. Guan has been ill."

"But according to my opinion, Mrs. Guan has a heart disease, which cannot be cured by medicine."

After the second brother answered, he went to another table to work again.

Talking about the Guan family, even Ban Qing was silent.

Wasn't the one he snatched back back then the one who was going to the palace to be a noble concubine?

But after lifting the hijab, it was Zhong Ling.

Ban Qing looked at Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling understood his question, leaned into his ear and whispered: "It's a long story, I'll talk to you again when I have a chance, the real Miss Guan married my brother... "Wait a minute, why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

The author has something to say: During a few days tour of the imperial city, Ban Qing kept silent, and after returning to the village, he counted all his belongings, estimating the possibility of marrying into the Fang family with a dowry.
