This inn is for the exclusive use of the royal family. Although there are people guarding it on weekdays, people generally don't live in it.At present, the inn is very empty, Qi Wu and Qi Jiang each live in a room.
Putting down the baggage that he carried with him, Qi Wu took off his veiled hat, looked around the furnishings around the room, and then walked towards the toilet rack placed in the corner.
A bronze mirror was embedded above the dark sandalwood shelf, and the developing effect of this bronze mirror was obviously much better than the mirror he had in the residence of the Qi clan.Qi Wu has been in this world for several days, and finally he can see his current appearance clearly.
Very clear, unlike the inevitable blurred faces seen in the mirror or on the water before.
Qi Wu stared at the mirror, then touched his face, heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it's okay, wearing a book belongs to wearing a book, the name and face are the same as the previous self, so it won't be too difficult to adapt .It's just too thin, like malnutrition, it needs to be replenished...
Qi Wu muttered silently, turned away from the toilet rack in the corner, and sat down at the table in front of the window.
The wooden window was half open, and Qi Wu looked out, but the window of his room was not facing the street, and he could only see distant mountains looming in the night, and he couldn't even distinguish the topography here.
Qi Wu was walking distractedly, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Young Master Qiwu." It was still the indifferent envoy Liu Lu.
Qi Wu got up and walked over to open the door. His fingertips touched the latch. He suddenly remembered that he had just taken off the veil and hat and hadn’t put it on... After silently saying something, fortunately he remembered, Qi Wu hurriedly withdrew his hand, turned around and took it. The veil was put on.
It's not that he cares too much about the "marriage" rules of the Qi family, but Qi Wu doesn't want to be too special in front of the envoys, and he doesn't want to let the other party see his appearance... Just kidding, he is the one who wants to run away halfway, of course The less people know what he looks like, the better.
Although the rule of wearing a veiled hat is troublesome, it actually brought a lot of convenience to Qi Wu's calculation.
After putting on the veil and opening the door, Qi Wu didn't make a sound. He looked at the people standing outside the door and waited for them to speak.
There were four people standing outside the door, the envoy Liu Lv and one of his subordinates, and a man and a woman who did not wear Liu Lv's uniform. They also held a wooden tray in their hands. What was served was steaming food.
"This is your dinner, Mr. Qi Wu. As for these two people, they are the children of the official couple who are in charge of guarding the station here. If there is any need between tonight and tomorrow morning, Mr. Qi can tell these two people. Considering According to the customs of the Qi clan, it is inconvenient for Mr. Qi not to take off his hat when outsiders are around, so the two of them just guard outside this door, Mr. Qi does not need to worry."
This long paragraph was said by the subordinate next to Liu Lu. After he finished speaking, the taciturn Liu Lu added without haste: "The same is true for Mr. Qi Jiang. The two of you can feel free in the station." Act, but never step out of the station."
I can't go out, and there are people guarding it, but I still have to say this reminder first.
When they finished talking, Qi Wu only nodded quietly, and then moved slightly sideways to make room for the siblings who were still carrying food to enter the room.
After putting the food on the table, the two brothers and sisters withdrew, standing on both sides of the door in a regular manner and not moving.
Liu Lu watched Qi Wu close the door again, turned his head to look at the other couple who followed, and led them to continue to Qi Jiang's room, knocking on the door.
After saying the same thing to Qi Jiang, Liu Lu led his men back downstairs.
The emperor of the Great Zhou entrusted Liu Lu to take charge of the envoy to the Qi clan this time, and Liu Lu brought another 24 people with him, and the rest of them are having dinner in the lobby downstairs.
People in twos and threes, taking advantage of Liu Lu's absence, looked upstairs with ulterior motives, and gossiped in a more meaningful tone: "The people of the Qi clan are special after all. Let's say they are men. He can have children. Let’s say it’s a woman, but she looks like a man, which will make it more troublesome for the servants that Mr. Liu arranges to serve…”
"Arranging only one servant, male, that's not suitable, and only one maid, female, it's not appropriate... What can I do, people's fate is good, that is, at least one male and one female should serve!"
"It's also thanks to the fact that this post station is not particularly remote, and we can find enough people. If you go to a remote place later, you won't see a few people, let alone find two men and two women to serve in front of people. It will be troublesome at that time." .”
Speaking of this, someone suddenly laughed and frowned: "If you want me to say, Master Liu didn't think carefully. Since he came to pick up the Qi people into the palace, when he came from Wendu, he should have asked the emperor for a few." It would be easy for the eunuchs to go together, so you don’t have to rest and find a servant just to serve those two!”
"Hey!" It's not convenient for them to drink at the moment, so someone drank the tea bowl in the post station out of the wine bowl posture, pretended to be heroic and raised his head, put down the pottery bowl and said, "Let me tell you, these two Qi people Put them in their own place, they haven’t been served like this in the past ten years or so... They all say that men from the Qi clan are good-looking, but I don’t know what a good idea is, any of you have seen it before, come and tell everyone!”
A group of people chattered loudly, although they deliberately suppressed their voices to talk, but the overall noise was still very loud. It was not until someone said in a low voice, "Master Liu is down", that the bustling conversation in the lobby downstairs was instantly quieted down. Wearing a uniform black uniform, each is more serious than the other.
Liu Lu looked at the twenty people in the lobby, frowned and shook his head slightly.Liu Lu still knows the virtues of the people he brought with him, and they are all far away from the word prudence... They are too comfortable after all.
However, today's emphasis on civil and military affairs has reached the point where they even loathe the strict drills in the army. These soldiers are resident in Wendu, and they have become a habit of laziness, and it is difficult for Liu Lu to restrain them in practice.
……
Upstairs, Qi Wu slowly finished his sumptuous dinner, put on his veiled hat again and opened the door.
The two brothers and sisters guarding the door hurriedly recovered from their distracted state, lowered their eyes and asked, "What is your order?"
"I'm done eating, please put away the dishes, and I need hot water to take a shower." Qi Wu said calmly.
"Okay, wait a moment, son."
Less than a quarter of an hour after they entered the house and cleaned up the dishes, the brothers and sisters brought over the wooden barrels for bathing, hot water, towels and other items, and then retreated out in a proper manner.
Qi Wu glanced at the closed door, walked behind the screen and untied his belt, took off his complicated clothes with several layers inside and out, and finally took a comfortable hot bath.
In the hot air, Qi Wu raised his hand and touched his neck back.This innate imprint of the people of the Qi clan really made Qi Wu a little worried.After all, if he can't cover up this imprint, it is basically equivalent to not being able to cover up the identity of the Qi people, and the current identity of the Qi people will be a big burden on his freedom.
Outside the house, the brothers and sisters guarding the door looked at the porch and saw that there was no one around, so they couldn't help talking in a relaxed whisper.
"Brother, there was wind blowing in from the window just now, and this Mr. Qi happened to be standing there, and his hat floated a little bit, and I saw his mouth! It looks good!" The younger sister's eyes lit up.
Brother was a little disdainful: "Just one mouth can tell what looks good or not, you have to see half of the face before you talk! After all, we don't want to stand outside here all night, we won't be exhausted ?”
"Didn't you listen to what my father and mother said just now, when the nobles have rested, we can be lazy, but most of them still have to guard... Mother said that the job of the post station is decent and easy, all year round It’s just a little tiring once or twice like this, our family will persevere, and the nobles will leave tomorrow.”
After a while, the younger sister still couldn't help muttering: "Why can't you say that you are good-looking just by looking at the mouth? A good-looking person must be good-looking everywhere. I must be very good-looking when I look at Mr. Qi, but it's a pity that he wears it." The hat, we can't see it... But if you listen to him, the voice is nice, not like you..."
"Hey you bitch..."
The elder brother was about to settle the accounts, but he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw someone approaching from the corner, and quickly straightened his posture: "Someone is coming, stand upright, and I will talk to you girl again when I turn around..."
The person who came was wearing the same clothes and hat as Mr. Qi Wu in the room here. Although he came alone, the brothers and sisters immediately realized that this was another Mr. Qi, and asked him what he had need.
Qi Jiang looked at the closed door in front of him, and replied softly: "I...I just want to talk to Qi Wu, is it convenient for him now?"
"Young Master Qi Wu asked for hot water to take a bath earlier, but now...how about we ask through the door?"
Hearing this, Qi Jiang, who is afraid of troublesome personality, quickly waved his hands: "No, I, I don't have anything important, so I'll go back first..."
In the house, Qi Wu had finished bathing and washing up, just put on his clothes, and was about to sit on the bedside and slowly wipe his wet hair when he faintly heard voices outside the door.
After hesitating for a while, Qi Wu casually put on the valance, didn't bother to fasten the straps, and only held the edge of the valance with one hand to make sure it wouldn't fall off, then came to the door and opened the door with his other free hand.
Qi Jiang, who was about to leave outside the door, froze for a moment.
Qi Wu's voice was clear and cold: "Is there something wrong?"
Qi Jiang pursed her lips, but still nodded lightly in response: "There is a small matter... If you are sleepy, we can talk about it in the carriage tomorrow... that's fine."
Qi Wu turned around and walked into the house: "Come in and talk."
Qi Jiang froze for a moment before following in, not forgetting to turn around and close the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Qi Jiang turned around to look for Qi Wu's figure, just in time to see Qi Wu took off the veiled hat and put it on the wooden hanger.
Qi Wu had just finished taking a bath, and there was still some warm water vapor in the room. He didn't change into the clothes that corseted his waist during the day, but just wore a simple and loose robe. His long hair was hanging down, and the moisture at the end of his hair was smudged. The fabric of the outer robe and the hair on Qi Wu's forehead were also steamy, and fine drops of water slipped from the ends of the hair and dripped gently down the cheeks. He frowned and took a dry handkerchief to wipe the ends of his hair.
Raising his head, Qi Wu said, "If there's anything, please tell me."
While speaking, Qi Wu's strength increased... Long hair is really too troublesome, I accidentally got wet everywhere, and I don't know when I can dry it with a handkerchief, and there is no modern hair dryer to use... Qi Wu Wu himself is not a very patient person, and now he has the idea of cutting with a pair of scissors and forgetting.
Qi Jiang hesitated for a while, walked slowly to Qi Wu's side, looked in the direction of the door, and then whispered: "Didn't you ask me today, do you know any way to remove or cover the hair on the back of our necks?" Is it a mark? I... I don't know what you want to do, but I've been thinking about it... I just suddenly remembered that two years ago, when I was helping the patriarch's grandfather prepare the sacrificial ceremony, I heard several elders in the clan Said one thing..."
Seeing that Qi Wu seemed irritated by the wet hair, Qi Jiang spoke a lot faster, as if he was afraid to make Qi Wu more impatient.However, although the speed of speaking was faster than usual, Qi Jiang's voice became smaller and smaller, especially at the end when Qi Wu suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
"I..." Qi Jiang faltered and didn't know whether to continue or not.
Seeing that Qi Jiang seemed to be frightened by himself, Qi Wu was a little helpless but also at a loss, thinking that he was not so scary.
It was about the imprint on the back of the neck, Qi Wu's patience and curiosity doubled, and he simply put down the handkerchief that he thought was quite useless, and stared at Qi Jiang with a pair of bright and moist eyes: "Go on."
Only then did Qi Jiang pluck up his courage again: "...Actually, I don't know if it's useful, but I think maybe you want to know... But I was busy with other things at that time, so I just heard it by ear, maybe Not very detailed."
No matter how anxious Qi Wu was, he could only slow down his tone: "It's nothing, just tell me."
Putting down the baggage that he carried with him, Qi Wu took off his veiled hat, looked around the furnishings around the room, and then walked towards the toilet rack placed in the corner.
A bronze mirror was embedded above the dark sandalwood shelf, and the developing effect of this bronze mirror was obviously much better than the mirror he had in the residence of the Qi clan.Qi Wu has been in this world for several days, and finally he can see his current appearance clearly.
