Chapter 51 Bad Girl
Xie Fengyue found the stable in this yard after asking the sweeper servants along the way. When she arrived, Li Xiaobao was rolling up his sleeves and holding a rice dumpling to wash Gongzi Yan's black horse.
His face was hidden in the steaming heat and couldn't be seen clearly, but the clear arm muscles made Xie Fengyue blush.
She touched the tip of her nose awkwardly. It must have been Tong Gongziyan who told her she liked this type before that made her notice this.
"Li Xiaobao"
The people over there were still bowing and brushing the horses carefully.
Xie Fengyue's voice became louder: "Li Xiaobao."
The sound of brushing stopped, he turned around and touched the sweat on his forehead and asked: "Girl, it stinks here, please stay away first."
Xie Fengyue held the handkerchief obediently, stepped back a few steps, and retreated to the side of the willow tree.
After he poured the last bucket of water, he straightened his clothes and rushed over.
"Is something wrong, girl?" he asked, lowering his head.
Li Xiaobao was extremely tall, half a head taller than Gongzi Yan. Even if he lowered his head to reply, he seemed to be overlooking Xie Fengyue.
Xie Fengyue got straight to the point and said: "I can give you slave books."
Li Xiaobao suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of doubts: "Is the girl asking me to leave?"
This time it was Xie Fengyue's turn to be confused: "Don't you want to leave?"
He looked directly at her and answered humbly: "The girl has given me the grace to save my life and to rebuild my life. Although I have been with the girl for a short time, I am not the kind of ungrateful person."
What he meant was that he would not leave.
Xie Fengyue finally heard it, and she smiled: "Then you may suffer if you follow me. In a few days, I will no longer be a girl, but just an ordinary young lady."
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Li Xiaobao's eyes: "Do you want to go out, girl?"
Xie Fengyue felt that it was easy to talk to smart people. She nodded and simply explained: "I am getting married on February 13th. I will go out of the city with the wedding team first, and will leave when we arrive at the inn. We will go south to Lingnan first.”
Li Xiaobao was stunned: "If the girl wants to escape from marriage, there will definitely be someone pursuing her. I...I..."
Xie Fengyue was very satisfied with his calmness. If there was someone who was really pursuing the investigation, he would definitely not be able to stop it. It seemed that he was not a person who was full of nice words.
She was still smiling: "It doesn't matter, there won't be any pursuers. Then find me a spacious carriage first, then find the safest route south, and just wait for me at the inn."
She lowered her voice: "You are not allowed to show your face in front of the Xie family these days."
The worry in Li Xiaobao's expression did not diminish. He continued to worry after repeated worries: "My colleagues in the Xie Mansion have long thought that I was dead. It doesn't matter, but if the girl wants to go south, I'm afraid..."

Xie Fengyue looked stern: "Go on."
"Going south will definitely pass through the state of Qi, which is very chaotic."
Xie Fengyue frowned: "Isn't the state of Qi always stable? It is a vassal state where the emperor's sister married."
It was for this reason that Xie Fengyue never considered the danger of going south. Although Qi was small, it was as wealthy as Wu and Song, so how could it lead to chaos?
Li Xiaobao came closer and said in a deep voice: "A large-scale iron ore was discovered there."
It only takes one word for Xie Fengyue to understand.
Nowadays, most of the iron mines are monopolized by the Zhou royal family. The family is worried about this. Now that iron ore is discovered in a vassal state far away from the sky, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.
The Queen of Qi is also the biological sister of the Emperor of Zhou, so the Zhou royal family will definitely send people there, so there will be a dispute between the people sent by the major families and the people sent by the royal family. Wouldn't it be a mess? Xie Fengyue had to consider going south again.
If you can't go south, you have to go north.
Going north, we faced rogue bandits again.
She twisted the handkerchief in her hands, her thoughts confused.
Li Xiaobao also bowed his head and remained silent. A slave can only analyze the pros and cons and never make a decision for his master.
"Go south!" Xie Fengyue said firmly after a long silence.
"Going south, we will go around the border of Qi State without passing through the hinterland of the capital. We will walk for a few more days. When we leave the territory of Chen County, we will hire another team of bodyguards."
Li Xiaobao nodded: "Yi girl's."
Xie Fengyue took out a pink purse from her sleeve: "This is fifty taels. You must have all the things you need for this business before February 13th. If you don't have enough, come to me directly."
The sprouting willow tree danced in the wind, and the two people under the tree whispered.
Not far away, Wang Yan gritted his teeth.
I don’t know what the so-called Songshan is so bold: “How come the moon girl is giving a purse to this sin slave? It’s so unruly.”
Wang Yan's fists clenched loudly, and the words came out of his mouth: "You seem to be very free. I will leave the trivial matters of going to Qi to you."
Songshan had a look on his face: "No, Mr. Lang! I can't wrap my head around all that shopping."
"Leave the manpower management to your brother. You can also take care of Chen Jun's aftermath."
Songshan's facial features were wrinkled: "Mr. Lang, I just came back. People who have been sleeping in the open air in the past two days have lost weight." After he finished speaking, he lifted up his sleeves, as if to prove that what he said was true, the bronze arms The muscles are densely packed and shining in the sun.
Wang Yan's face turned darker. Is this the muscular man Xie Fengyue likes?
"You can go do the kitchen shopping in person today. If you lose weight, make up for it!" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Songshan was left stunned in the cold wind: "Why did I make Mr. Lang angry again?"
Xie Fengyue didn't know that the quiet conspiracy between her and Li Xiaobao was loudly shouted, so she returned to the west wing in a good mood.
She was so forgetful that she was happily counting the money and objects that Gongzi Yan had sent earlier. When she saw Xie Fengyue opening the curtain and entering, she smiled so hard that her teeth were blind and she said, "Girl, look!"
She pointed to something on the couch and waved the banknote in her hand like a fan.
Xie Fengyue frowned slightly: "Is this?"
Zhe Zhi was so happy that he couldn't find the north. He grinned happily and replied: "Gongzi Yan sent these to us. These are practical things that we can use when we go out. There is also a total of two thousand taels of silver notes!"
Xie Fengyue stepped forward and picked up a bottle of golden sore medicine with an unclear expression: "You return the money to him and just keep the things."
Zhezhi held the banknote to his chest and said reluctantly: "Why, we will use our money in many places in the future!"
"He has helped us enough, and now he has also given us money. Haven't you ever heard of the saying that someone who is short-handed should be criticized for being soft-spoken?" Xie Fengyue leaned over and took the banknote from his hand.
Lao Gao, Zhe Zhi’s mouth curled up: “He gave it to himself, and we didn’t ask for it.”
She looked at the banknote with clear eyes: "Girl, why don't we keep it for one hundred taels? He won't be able to count such a thick pile anyway."
Xie Fengyue twisted her bulging cheeks: "Don't take advantage of yourself! Bad girl!"
Zhe Zhi shrank back in pain, and replied not to be outdone: "Bad girl, you told me you won't pinch my face when I grow up!"
