I was a salted fish in ancient times

After Xiao Shan woke up, he smelled a faint sweet smell.

He opened his eyes and saw a fruit plate beside the bed, and a few pieces of orange peel beside his pillow, but Xie Zhui was no longer by his side.At this moment, Xiao Shan's stomach was empty and he was a little hungry, but he couldn't eat anything at all, so he was a little upset.

He reached out and took the orange peel and put it on his nose, inhaling the faint smell inside, the dizzy seasick feature still existed, but the turbulent heart was absolutely comforted.

When he changed a piece of orange peel to cover his nose, Xie Zhui pushed the door open and entered, and what he saw was a yellow patch on Xiao Shan's fair face.

Seeing Xiao Shan being so childish, he was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Xiao Shan was no longer dejected at the beginning, and a smile filled his eyes.

Xiao Shan put his nose against the orange peel without moving, looked at the person in front of the door with a smile on his face, and said, "It's quite useful." In fact, the real effect is just that, but this is Xie Zhui's intention. He can't live up to it.

Mood is also a good medicine for seasickness.

Xie Zhui was introverted. Hearing this, he walked over and said, "It's some folk remedies. It works for some people, but not for others." Xiao Shan's spirit was still not very good, and those words were not sincere, but he Didn't want to expose it.

Xie Zhui sat by the bed and said, "I made some porridge with some appetizers in it, would you like to drink some?"

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "You made it yourself?"

Xie Zhui nodded. He has no talent for cooking, and the porridge is not bad, but it is not as good as the cook in the palace.

Xiao Shan sat up and the orange peel fell on his body. He thought to himself, since Xie Zhui made the porridge himself, no matter how much he loses his appetite, he can't waste it.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Xie Zhui was a little happy, and immediately went out to get porridge.

The weather is hot, the windows in the room are open, and the river water in the distance can be seen from the windows.

The surface of the water surged back and forth, not at all steady.

Xiao Shan felt a little dizzy just looking at it. If it wasn't too hot, he wished he could close the windows tightly immediately.

Xiao Shan had never been on a boat, and the emperor didn't like to tour the south. He had reason to suspect that the emperor also got seasick.

Thinking about these messy things, Xie Zhui brought the porridge over.

The porridge is a little hot, with some crushed hawthorn in it, and the bowl is full of white and red, which looks very good.

In addition to porridge, Xie Zhui also brought a plate of pickled and refreshing radish sticks.

Xiao Shan called Xie Zhui to have porridge with him, Xie Zhui didn't hesitate too much, went out to serve another bowl, and then drank silently.

The porridge is still a little hot, with a slightly sweet and sour taste. Just a bite of crisp and delicious radish sticks can be called perfect.

Xie Zhui swallowed the radish sticks, only to realize that Xiao Shan fed the radish sticks to his mouth, and he took advantage of the opportunity to eat them.

Xie Zhui felt that the room was a bit hot, and his face was so hot that it burned.

Xiao Shan's expression was exceptionally calm, as if he had done a very normal thing, he said: "What's the point of just drinking porridge, this radish stick is delicious, you should eat more." , eat radish strips together.

Xie Zhui lowered his eyes and said, "Brother brought this thing, if you like it, I'll go and get some more."

"Next time." Upon hearing that it was from Xie Chen, Xiao Shan said bluntly without being polite.

Xie Zhui responded, drinking porridge silently and eating the radish sticks that Xiao Shan gave him.

In the case of seasickness, Xiao Shan had a rare appetite and drank a whole bowl of porridge.

Xie Zhui heaved a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of Xiao Shan's tricky mouth, but he was afraid that he would not be able to eat.

After Xiao Shan finished eating, he took the bowl out.

Xiao Shan didn't think that Xie Zhui should do these chores, but now that he was asked to get up and walk around the boat, he could spit it out.

To be on the safe side, he still lay on the bed without moving.

After going out, Xie Zhui went to the kitchen to wash the dishes himself.

They didn't use the utensils on board, these were brought from the palace.

Xie Zhui finished washing, ready to go back and put away the bowl.

On the way, he ran into Gu Ning, the guard beside Xie Chen.

Gu Ning used to be in the rivers and lakes, but was seriously injured in the northern border and was taken in by Xie Chen.Gu Ning is very skilled, but usually taciturn.

Seeing Gu Ning, Xie Zhui asked without waiting for him to speak, "Brother wants to see me?"

Gu Ning nodded.

Xie Zhui followed him to see Xie Chen with the bowl in his arms.

Xie Chen didn't get seasick, but what he drank was Xie Zhui's porridge.

Hearing Xie Zhui coming, Xie Chen had a slight smile on his face: "The third master is awake?"

Xie Zhui hummed and said: "I barely drank some porridge, I'm afraid I will suffer for a while if I go on like this."

Xie Shen was silent, if it was better than suffering, wouldn't it be more painful when Xie chased and killed the enemy?At that time he didn't feel bitter, but now he was worried about Xiao Shan who was seasick.

When they left the capital, they naturally wouldn't reveal their titles and real names.

Xie Zhui is an exception, the sad red mole on his forehead is a particularly eye-catching sign.

As long as a person with a heart wants to find such a person, he will definitely find the target.

From Xie Zhui's point of view, it is most suitable for him to dress up as a man, use powder to cover up the dark mole on his forehead, and cover his forehead with hair so that no one will notice.

He can pretend to be Xiao Shan's guard.

Xie Chen also thought it was a good idea.

But Xiao Shan disagreed, Xiao Shan said that Xie Zhui was his husband, and there was no need to hide it.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Xie Zhui pretended to be a man to join the army, and Zong Qing was with them.

Zong Qing knew Xie Zhui's identity, so he definitely wouldn't really treat Xie Zhui as a man, it was unavoidably awkward to touch, and it was easy for people to see.

Instead of doing this, it's better to openly reveal the identity of brother Xie Zhui. Of course, you can't reveal that sad red mole, but make it more beautiful.

So he did the same thing, Xie Zhuian wanted to cover up the vermilion mole.

What Xiao Shan wanted was to paint the sad mole back to its original color.

In this way, Xie Zhui lived in the same room with him, and no one would say anything.

No matter what others think, Xie Zhui is convinced.

At this time, his identity is the younger brother, or the husband of Xiao Shan, the third master.

Xie Chen actually had nothing else to do when he called Xie Zhui here, he just felt that after this close contact with Xie Zhui, he suddenly found that Xie Zhui's attitude towards Xiao Shan had changed a lot.

Intimacy got a lot closer.

Xie Chen didn't know whether this change was good or bad.

Xie Zhui is in the barracks, which is the most dangerous but also the most innocent place.

As long as you are strong enough, you can win the appreciation of everyone.

But the backyard of the palace is different from the barracks, the backyard is always a place where blood is not seen.

He thinks this way not because he thinks that Xie Zhui is not good enough, on the contrary, he thinks that Xie Zhui is the best younger brother in the world, worthy of being held by anyone.He just doesn't trust Xiao Shan much.

First of all, Xiao Shan's identity is there. He is a prince, and he must have his own heir.

But Xie Zhui is the younger brother, and it is difficult to give birth.

As Xiao Shan is a prince, even if it is for the sake of his heirs, there will be all kinds of beauties around him sooner or later, Xie Chen is afraid that Xie Zhui will get deeper and deeper, and eventually hurt himself.

In the past, Xie Zhui also understood this, and even took lightly on the fact that Xiao Shan would have a concubine in the future, and didn't care at all.

At that time, Xie Chen was very relieved, but now Xie Zhui seemed to have forgotten his original intention and was a little bit sunken, which is not a good thing to say.

Xie Chen originally wanted to say this to Xie Zhui, so that he could have a bottom line.

It's just that Xie Zhuizhen came before him, hearing the unconcealable worry about Xiao Shan in Xie Zhui's tone, Xie Chen suddenly didn't want to say anything.

At least this time Xie Zhui is happy, he is experiencing various emotions when getting along with the closest people.

It's just the days of coming and going to Jiangnan, so there's nothing wrong with making him happy.

If one day, Xie Zhui was hurt by Xiao Shan, then he would still have a family and his elder brother.

Thinking about this in his heart, Xie Chen said: "Listening to what you said, the third master has already regained some appetite, so you don't have to worry too much."

Xie Zhui has been thinking about Xiao Shan who has an ugly face, and has no time to think about other things.

He was preoccupied and said: "He likes the radish sticks brought by the elder brother very much. Brother, give us more."

Xie Chen: "..."

On his side, he was worried that his younger brother would be wronged in the future, while on the other side, his younger brother had already started picking things from him to give to his prince.

***

The next half a month proved that Xie Zhui's worries were not unreasonable.

Xiao Shan's appetite has always been poor, and he can barely eat something occasionally, and his stomach is churning a lot due to seasickness.

After tossing, Xiao Shan lost a lot of weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was almost no flesh on his cheeks.

Now, if someone pointed at him and said that he was a pampered prince, no one would believe him at all.

For this reason, Xie Zhui couldn't tell what it was like, it hurt a little.

Zong Qing is loyal to the emperor, but he is not rigid when things happen.

Seeing Xiao Shan like this, he was also very anxious, afraid that if something happened to him, he would be finished with him.So Xiao Shan stayed on the boat for a few days, and seeing that the situation was wrong, he proposed to let Xiao Shan disembark at the nearest ferry and join the guard of honor of the imperial envoy.

And he went to Liangzhou by boat alone.

The emperor asked him to keep an eye on Xiao Shan, not only to prevent him from making trouble, but more importantly to let him protect Xiao Shan's safety.

In case Xiao Shan had any problems following him, he would not be able to do the job with the emperor.

But Xiao Shan disagreed.

To go to Liangzhou, it is much faster to take the waterway than the imperial envoy with a huge honor guard on land.

Crouching in the guard of honor of the imperial envoy, what he saw was what others wanted him to see.

I arrived in Liangzhou in advance, and only by listening to the voices of the people can I know the real situation in Liangzhou, and then I can know whether Liu Jingxuan is a good official or a corrupt one.

At this time, he disembarked and joined the guard of honor. Everyone would feel that there was a problem.

At that time, if someone leaks the news to Liangzhou, if someone suspects that there are still people on board, then Zong Qing will be in danger.

People's hearts are becoming sinister, and no one can predict it.

Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable Xiao Shan was, he finally chose to endure it.

Anyway, closing and opening eyes is a day, time will always pass, sooner or later they will set foot on the boundary of Liangzhou.

Zong Qing couldn't convince him, so he let him go.

It's just that his face became quieter and his expression became more solemn.

Fortunately, in the next few days, I don’t know whether it was because I got used to the life on the boat, or hypnotized me over and over again that I would not get seasick at all, or because of Xie Zhui’s considerate care. In short, before disembarking at the Liangzhou Ferry, Xiao Shan’s appetite improved a little. At least I won't keep throwing up what I eat.

Seeing this situation, Xie Zhui quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this journey was relatively smooth, because Xiao Shan forced himself to eat every day, and he was in good health and did not get sick.

Liangzhou Water Transportation Hub is relatively close to Yangzhou, and if you walk along the canal outside, you can reach the East China Sea. It is a good place for maritime transactions.

They waited in a long queue to disembark.

Xiao Shan's feet stepped on the ground again, his legs were soft, it was like stepping on cotton, and he couldn't find a root at all.

Holding Xie Zhui's hand all the time, he managed not to fall.

There were a lot of people disembarking, and everyone walked very slowly. At first, Xiao Shan and others didn't understand why, but when they got closer, they realized that someone was there to collect money.

It is said that the silver is called disembarkation silver. To Xiao Shan's surprise, the cashier is not the government, but a man who looks like a housekeeper. There is a group of servants standing behind him, and the silver box is placed beside the table.

Fill one box and exchange for another.

Many people have paid before, some pay a few copper coins, some have to pay more, I don’t know what the standard is, anyway, people have to pay regardless of whether they are rich or poor.And looking at the appearance of those people has long been used to it.

Before Xiao Shanren entered Liangzhou, he was overwhelmed by their atmosphere.

When they came to them, the cashier sitting there felt unlucky when he saw Xiao Shan's sick appearance, he knocked on the table impatiently and said, "You guys, take the money once or twice."

Xiao Shan was happy, he grew up so big, it was the first time anyone dared to speak to him in such a tone, even his father had never done it before.

And if you read correctly, the one in front of him just paid a few copper coins.

But Xiao Shan didn't intend to find fault at this time, so he handed over the money without saying a word.

It's just that he didn't expect that he followed them all, but this group of people became mean-spirited.
