Consort Zhanzhao

A few people went out together for an afternoon.

It is still in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the fiefdom of the princess. It is also located in Chengdu, and it is very prosperous. However, the dress, speech and overall architectural style of the pedestrians on the road are quite different from Bianliang.

Having a meal with local characteristics, Zhao Bijia came back and slept comfortably. Early the next morning, she saw that Han Zhang, Xu Qing and others had packed their things and bid farewell to her.

"Thank you, princess, for taking care of me all the way." Han Zhang, the oldest among the crowd, cupped his hands and said, "The few of us plan to visit Dali first, but we still have something to ask."

Zhao Bijia glanced at Zhan Zhao, saw him nodding, and then said with a smile, "Second Brother Han, please tell me."

Han Zhang felt a bit embarrassed to speak, and said after a while, "I want to borrow Bai Yutang."

Zhao Bijia raised his eyebrows, and Han Zhang also knew that half of these words were annoying, so he continued: "The few of us can't delay the matter of Hero Ouyang, and plan to let the four of us go to Dali to inquire about the news first, and go there by the way Take a look at the two Five Poison Mountains next to it."

Except for Han Zhang, Xu Qing, Ding Yuehua and Bai Yutang all nodded at her, indicating that it was the four of us.

Zhao Bijia hummed.

Han Zhang said again: "Princess, please pay attention to this one in Song Dynasty."

"Second Brother Han, don't worry." Zhao Bijia generously agreed, "It's about the life of Hero Ouyang, I will go with them to have a look in two days."

Only then did Han Zhang heave a sigh of relief, and said again: "Time is running out, the six of us will divide into three groups." He greeted Bai Yutang with eyes focused on him, and said, "You must remember to be careful."

Bai Yutang hadn't recovered from the complete blow he had offended his colleague, so he said listlessly, "Got it."

Zhao Bijia thought for a while, then said something to Yang Hean in a low voice, only to see Yang Hean go out, and after a while came in with a few documents and handed them to several people one by one.

Zhao Bijia said: "This is the certificate of the shop under my name. I have contacts with Dali from time to time. If there is any accidental conflict, I can use this to ward off the disaster." Then he looked at Bai Yutang and said: " It doesn’t matter if you are detained, I will redeem you with money later.”

Zhao Bijia was happy, but Bai Yutang was getting more and more frustrated.

Han Zhang got up to leave, and Zhao Bijia found a few more good horses for them, and sent them on the road.

"We... go out for a stroll?" Zhao Bijia said: "In the name of visiting the fief for inspection, we have to wait two days to meet people before talking about it."

Yang and An smiled lightly, "We are only a hundred miles away from the mountain. If we walk slowly, we will arrive there in a day, and if we go fast, we can go back and forth in a day."

Zhan Zhao was also not in a hurry, and said, "I won't be able to see until the beginning of the month, and there are still a few days left."

After lunch, Zhao Bijia changed into men's clothes again, and took Yang and An and Zhan Zhao out.

It is actually a little inconvenient to say that wearing women's clothing is actually a bit inconvenient. It is okay to walk around the palace slowly when the skirt drags the floor. It's late autumn, and skirts are getting thicker and heavier.

The second reason is that her dress has a face, plus her face is pink and white, she is not a local when she wears women's clothing.

Of course, they didn't intend to pretend to be locals, but it's okay to put "I'm from out of town" on their bodies.

Out of the gate, Zhao Bijia looked around, Yang Hean reminded: "I remember that there is a shop selling rouge and gouache in the east, which is registered under the name of the little prince, why don't you go and have a look first?"

When Zhan Zhao heard the words "little prince", he always felt that his nightmare was coming back again.

Zhao Bijia nodded, and said: "Don't call me little prince, don't reveal your identity, otherwise it will be troublesome if people know that we are here for their holy mountain."

The two nodded, and Zhan Zhao said, "Then...young master?"

"Remove the fine print and try again."

"Young master." Zhan Zhao called again sternly, and Zhao Bijia smiled, "Not bad, that's it. I'm a medicine merchant from Bianliang, and I'm going to inspect the family business to collect some medicines. As for the two of you This... well, it's the guard my father hired for me."

What a legitimate reason... Zhan Zhao couldn't help but think of him falling into the trap and Bai Yutang's spirit of falling into the trap.

So serious nonsense is actually a tradition of Bianliang... It is true to inspect the family property, the princess did come to inspect the fief, and it is also true to collect some medicinal materials, such as the true leaves of the earth, and some are said to be in the local authentic place herbs.

And he and Yang He'an, Zhan Zhao glanced at Yang and An who were still standing upright, aren't they two guards that His Majesty sent for.

They walked eastward all the way, Zhao Bijia walked more and more easily, with a faint smile on his face, and even the steps trained in the court were a bit free and easy.

"I've always had a dream." Her voice was a little illusory, as if it floated from the sky, "Being a complete playboy, holding a birdcage on the left and right, leading a big dog in the right hand, followed by two thugs— —”

Zhan Zhao, Yang and An looked at each other, and they could see a little... surprise in each other's eyes?

Zhao Bijia has already mentioned the key point, "I don't do anything every day, I go to the street every day to tease beauty—" Just as the male word came out, Zhao Bijia remembered that Zhan Zhao was still by her side, and abruptly changed her tone, " Molested beauty."

"Alas..." Zhao Bijia let out a long sigh, "It's a pity..."

Although I was a little curious about what she was sorry about, but Zhan Zhao, who had always had a bit of an intuition about danger, decided to avoid this topic.

"Young master is really ambitious."

Suddenly there was a burst of crisp laughter from the side, Zhao Bijia turned her head, and saw two beauties who looked like local styles standing at the entrance of Rouge Gouache Village, only about a foot away.

One big and one small.

The older one looks less than thirty, quite amorous, the younger one looks a year or two younger than Zhao Bijia, is being held by someone, with a pair of round eyes staring at Zhao Bijia, eyes full of curiosity.

Zhao Bijia laughed a few times, feeling a little ashamed to know such a secret, "I just said it casually, how about my sister not hearing it?"

The older beauty smiled again, looked her up and down, and said, "Why are you so shy, you dare to moles a beauty, are you afraid that others will say about you?"

Zhao Bijia thought to herself: What I am afraid of is not that "others" will say about me~

The older beauty smiled and took the little Lolita by the hand to go to the Zhuangzi. Zhao Bijia also came to see how her shop was doing. Of course, from the perspective of the annual account book, it was very good.

Who knew that just after crossing the threshold, the little loli suddenly turned her head and said, "Little brother, are you also here to buy rouge?"

No, no, Zhao Bijia was a little frustrated looking at her innocent eyes for a moment, the older beauty tugged at the little Lolita's hand, and said with a smile: "He came to buy rouge to please the beauty."

Little Lolita nodded, looked at Zhao Bijia with disappointment, and turned her head away.

You can't leave such an impression in front of your children!

In an instant, Zhao Bijia's mind turned quickly, and she explained: "I have a 12-year-old sister at home, and I want to bring her something back."

The older beauty looked back at her, but the smile in her eyes didn't look like she believed it.

Not to mention these two beauties from other races, Zhan Zhao felt a little...unspeakable for a while, he subconsciously glanced at Yang and An, only to see that his face was still plain, and his eyes on Zhao Bijia were the same as before.

It's just... how do you think that the 12-year-old sister she is talking about is not Princess Yunyan who is 15 years old this year, but Zhao Xuan who has just been crowned prince.

The older beauty looked at Zhao Bijia scrutinizingly, and then at the two servants behind her who were extraordinary, handsome, and even dressed in top-quality clothes, the smile on her face faded a bit: "I think you are a bit unfamiliar. , shouldn’t be a local, right?”

Zhao Bijia nodded, "He's from Bianliang, his family is in business, and he wants to collect some medicinal materials. Also... look at the business route."

The older beauty looked at her, and suddenly said: "I am a commoner."

Zhao Bijia suddenly remembered the imperial physician whose surname was later changed to Bai, and she should have stopped at this point, but unfortunately Jinhua Ham's lethality was too strong, and she couldn't help but go to Bai Yutang again. I couldn't stop smiling.

In order not to make people think that she has a weird personality, she called out sweetly, "Sister Bai."

Elder Sister Bai laughed loudly, "You are so eloquent, even if you are a dude, you are not considered inferior."

Zhao Bijia said, "My surname is Zhao."

After two sentences, sister Bai and brother Zhao's family had a happy conversation, and Zhan Zhao, who watched everything around, felt a little relieved.

His teachings finally worked. The princess told people with nine truths plus one lie. If she met Bai Yutang again now, she would not be so easy to follow.

The two said a few words, and the little Lolita who had been holding Sister Bai's hand tugged her hand to signal, "I want that."

The conversation was interrupted, and Zhao Bijia couldn't help but follow Xiao Lolita's eyes.

What she fell in love with was a powder box, just from the appearance, it looks like the style of the capital city, the box is very exquisitely made, and there are camellia flowers woven with silver thread on it, which is very beautiful.

Zhao Bijia's rouge shop is located in Chengdu. Although the cosmetics in the north and the south are different, she didn't think too much about it at first. She sells both the south and the north. For example, there are tributes for making progress, and she sells what she can't use up.

Unexpectedly, the business was exceptionally good. Although some people imitated her later, no one could surpass her.

Firstly, all the things she bought were good things, and secondly, it was the emperor's blessing to delay her father. The location of this shop is excellent, and the two most important factors that determine the price of goods, one is tax, and the other is transportation cost. Don't think about it at all.

The emperor's shop didn't need to pay taxes, and the transportation was all official roads, and no one would take her money, so this shop became the best rouge shop in this area within two years.

The clerk took out the compact that the little loli liked.

Open it and look, although the little loli still likes it very much, but Elder Sister Bai frowned and said: "This thing is not suitable for you."

What little loli likes is a thick compact. According to Zhao Bijia's classification, it is not clear enough, but the style with excellent concealer is usually used by people who are a little older.

"You said you were going to buy me a birthday present." Little Loli curled her lips, a little unhappy.

"You're only 14 years old." Sister Bai persuaded, "It's really not suitable for you." She saw Zhao Bijia looking at her after speaking, smiled and explained: "My niece just turned fourteen today."

Zhao Bijia thought about it, and felt that a young girl of this age...even if she gave something, she couldn't be considered a playboy... However, she asked the clerk to bring out other things.

"Try this?" She asked tentatively, "Your face is so delicate, it's better to use this." Afraid she wouldn't believe it, she said, "My sister also uses this."

Zhan Zhao shook inexplicably, and lit a wax for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who seemed heartless on the surface.

But this little loli hides behind Sister Bai very vigilantly, looking at the things in Zhao Bijia's hands without saying a word.

Zhao Bijia...has accumulated thousands of years of make-up experience, plus all kinds of edification in the palace these years, I am not happy to be seen like this, from base makeup to eye makeup, from face makeup to eyebrow makeup , even sister Bai was fascinated by it.

Yang He'an was very relieved to see this scene, and couldn't help but think of Concubine Zhang Gui who was far away in Bianliang. After so many years, the princess didn't care much about it, but she didn't forget anything that should be remembered.

At the end, even the little Lolita, who was a little wary of her at first, came over and said cautiously, "Little brother, draw me one."

Zhao Bijia woke up suddenly, fortunately this little loli called "little brother", otherwise she would really have to get started.

Zhao Bijia took two steps back and said with a smile, "It's not very convenient."

Little Lolita was a little disappointed. Seeing a lot of things on the table, she picked up the compact she valued most, "I still want this."

Sister Bai looked helpless, but she still smiled, "Buy, buy, buy."

Zhao Bijia also glanced at the things on the table, smiled at her and said, "Why don't you try these for me? If it works, I'll buy one for my sister later."

Little Lolita's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she turned to look at her aunt.

Elder Sister Bai looked at Zhao Bijia again, and then looked at the two servants behind her... Even the sons of ordinary people would not have such aura. I don't know what to think of, and she looked a little gloomy. She nodded and said, "It's her birthday today. I am sorry to trouble you.”

Little Lolita was very happy to receive a lot of presents, she smiled and called "Brother Zhao", and said sweetly, "My name is Bai Qingluo."

There is really a red word, Zhao Bijia watched the clerk wrap up the things and delivered them to her, and said with a smile: "It's fun."

Little Loli turned her head three times and followed her aunt away.

It was enough for Zhao Bijia to go around for a while, and then looked around in the store, bought some rouge and perfume made with local flowers, and followed them out of the gate.

It's just that she didn't leave for long, and that sister Bai came back with Bai Qingluo. Bai Qingluo was a little disappointed that she didn't see Zhao Bijia in the store, and said, "Why did you leave, little brother, and didn't say where he lives. All these things Even if I use it well, I can't tell her."

Elder Sister Bai smiled and patted her head, thinking that the man looked extremely wealthy, and he was a big merchant from Bianliang, how could he care about this.

The two came out of the rouge shop again, and within two steps, Bai Qingluo's face changed from frustration to a smile, "But it's okay, both of them have the aura of Gu insects, aunt, your search Can you lend me Shadow Seeking Gu?"

Sister Bai smiled with a bit of worry, and said: "It will be the first day of junior high school soon. Come to this point, I always feel that their motives are not pure."

Bai Qingluo sighed, and said: "It's only been a few days, so you can borrow it from me after the first day?"

Sister Bai smiled and agreed, then took her hand and said, "It's hard to come out here, what do you want to eat tonight?"

The two left happily, and Zhao Bijia and others also returned to Biezhuang.

Back in Biezhuang, another group of local officials asked to see him. Zhao Bijia asked the shopkeeper who was in charge of several villages to ask questions. He was busy talking until dark before he was free.

Because there were only Zhan Zhao, Yang and An around, and they were still classified as her own, Zhao Bijia was very relaxed, and even asked to eat dinner together.

Of course, she also remembered the guards who escorted her all the way, ordered the kitchen to prepare good wine and good food, and then called Shao Yong herself: "It's been a hard journey for you, just take a good rest for the next two days."

Shao Yong thanked him. He also knew that whether it was him or all the guards combined, not to mention the guards, even Director Yang was no match. It was mainly a matter of royal dignity and specifications that they followed, so he nodded politely. , said: "The law and order here has always been very good, and Dali has been safe and sound for many years. The princess will not go wrong with the two of them on the street."

Zhao Bijia smiled, gave them some banknotes, and said, "I'm going to stay for a while. If you want to take something back, you're welcome."

Naturally, there is no shortage of money to be an imperial guard, but I still thank the princess for her thoughtfulness.

Zhao Bijia said a few more words to him before coming out.

Back in the house, she called Zhan Zhao, Yang and An over to discuss things.

"We'll find a reason to sneak out in two days, we can't take Shao Yong with us."

Zhan Zhao frowned.

Zhao Bijia could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and said, "You are the most skilled, and I definitely can't leave you."

The last half of the sentence did not know where Zhan Zhao was poked, and his complexion improved a lot.

Zhao Bijia persisted and said: "Besides, you are still... full of yang energy, and you are not afraid of meeting people, nor are you afraid of meeting ghosts."

Yang and An coughed twice, and Zhao Bijia said again: "Yang and An have been with me since childhood, and this time they will also go together."

The corners of Yang He'an's lips twitched, and he said, "That place is only a hundred miles away from here, so it's okay to just go for a visit, and then spend the night there. Besides, our three goals are small, and they will look like fat sheep if we take them with us."

Several people discussed it, and they all felt that this place was very safe, and the guards would not be suspicious if they wanted to come, not to mention that they didn't take them out today, so they didn't come here properly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bijia smiled, and said, "I'll go to the silk shop tomorrow, and then..." She pinched her fingers and calculated, "There are still five days until the first day of junior high school. Although it is close, we have to step on it in advance." Just step on the spot."

Zhan Zhao opened the map sent by the local officials today, and pointed to a few small dots around the colorful mountain, "There are two villages at the foot of the mountain, and one on the mountainside. Doctor Bai didn't say where the grass grows."

But after thinking about it, he came to a conclusion, "It will naturally appear when there is no moonlight, and there is still a crescent moon on the first day of the new year...it shouldn't be on the top of the mountain, but in the old forest?"

Zhao Bijia thought for a while and said, "In short, it's an inaccessible place. Let's see it the day after tomorrow."

When Zhao Bijia fell asleep, Yang and An glanced at Zhan Zhao, who obviously had something to say, Zhan Zhao came out with him, and heard Yang and An say, "The two people I met today... don't look like ordinary people."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?"

Yang He'an said: "In the past two years, there have been envoys from Dali in Bianliang, and I have studied their costumes a little. The decoration on the head of the old man is made of tiger skin, and he is a nobleman."

"The silver ornaments around the little girl's head are very gorgeous, and ordinary people can't afford them." Yang and An listed at least seven or eight extraordinary things about the two of them.

But Zhan Zhao didn't talk to him, he just felt that Yang and An's speaking speed... seemed to be nervous?

Yang and Anxu finished talking, sighed, and said, "Zhan has rich experience in guarding the world, what do you think?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Do you think where we met the two of them?"

Yang Hean frowned slightly, "Princess's rouge shop." He suddenly smiled and said, "Cough, the princess's rouge shop is not something ordinary people can afford, so it's reasonable to meet two wealthy people."

Yang and An relaxed a lot, and Zhan Zhao said again: "Although I don't see any problems, but you still have to be careful when you go out."

Yang and An nodded, and they went to sleep separately. Early the next morning, Zhao Bijia was still wearing men's clothes, and took Zhan Zhao and Yang and An to the street.

Today's destination is silk Zhuangzi.

To say that the purpose of going to the rouge shop yesterday was very simple, just to have a look, but today I went to the silk and satin shop for something serious: to buy some gifts for my mother.

Although Concubine Zhang Guifei has everything, but the things that this daughter-in-law bought, she can't think of too much.

But as soon as she entered, she saw yesterday's little loli, Bai Qingluo, still held by her aunt, looking at the brocade hanging on the wall of the silk and satin village, she whispered: "It's much prettier than the weaving in our house. "

Seeing Zhao Bijia come in, Bai Qingluo and her aunt all smiled, "I met you again."

Zhao Bijia also smiled, "Bring something for the family." She looked at the colorful samples and said with a smile, "I'm a little confused, I don't know what to choose for her."

Sister Bai replied: "This cloth is not as fine as the cloth in Bianliang, but the color is bright and beautiful."

Zhao Bijia agreed, but turned her head and saw Bai Qingluo staring at Zhan Zhao non-stop, she turned her head and gave Zhan Zhao a look, look!have a look!He is only 14 years old!

But looking at Zhan Zhao's expressionless, serious face, he was slightly relieved.

Bai Qingluo looked at Zhan Zhao for a moment, then turned her head and said to Zhao Bijia, "I remember you said you have a younger sister?"

Zhao Bijia nodded.

Bai Qingluo pointed to the cloth with the brightest color in the middle of the table, and said, "Most people buy this for little girls." She also pointed to her cuff, "Look, mine is also in this color."

"And this purse." Bai Qingluo seemed to want to thank Zhao Bijia for the birthday present she gave her yesterday, talking non-stop, pointing out what she was wearing and what she was wearing on her head one by one.

"Your sister is only 12 years old. I liked these things when I was 12 years old."
