003 Danyang
The young man in white smiled slightly and raised his hand to brush away the leaves that had fallen on his shoulders.
Such a simple movement, performed by him, seemed as graceful as playing the piano, as elegant and graceful as the white snow on the green bamboo, with a temperament that can be seen from a distance but cannot be blasphemed.
"Girl, this is our young master's house." Xiao Shi kept talking enthusiastically, "Our young master's family is kind. I just saw a carriage falling down, and he asked to come over and see if he could help..."
"..." Gu Yanfei stood there as if he hadn't heard anything, with a dazed look on his face.
She has been in the world of cultivation for two hundred years. At the age of eighteen, she introduced Qi into her body. Since then, she has lived without grains and no longer needs to eat whole grains. Over the years, she has long forgotten the feeling of hunger.
She felt uncomfortable in her stomach just now. She thought she had suffered some internal injury, but unexpectedly she was hungry?
Is this "hunger"?
"Gululu..."
As if to answer the question in her mind, her abdomen made another gastrointestinal rumbling sound.
The young man in white clothes in the carriage curled up his mouth, and a hint of smile appeared in his black eyes.
The ends of his eyes are slightly upturned, and a bright red mole under his right eye makes these auspicious eyes even more attractive.
"Does the girl live in Danyang City?" The young man in white bowed his hands to Gu Yanfei gracefully, "We are going to Danyang City, so we can give the girl a ride on the way."
Gu Yanfei asked with great interest: "How do you know, Master?"
The young man in white raised his hand and pointed to the sachet worn on her waist: "This is the sachet produced every autumn by Yipin Xiangji in Danyang City."
Yipinxiangji is the most famous incense shop in Danyang City. In addition to selling all kinds of incense, it also sells sachets, incense burners, etc.
The sachet embroidered with osmanthus on Gu Yanfei's body is only available in September and October every year.
"Young Master has good eyesight." Gu Yanfei smiled and thanked us, "Sir, please send us to Gu's house on Hua'an Street in Danyang City."
"It's easy." The young man in white stroked his sleeves and said with a smile, "Miss Gu, there is no need to worry about it."
This smile, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, adding a bit of beauty.
Xiao Shi immediately set up the horse stool. Juan Bi pursed his lower lip hesitantly and quietly pulled Gu Yanfei's sleeve.
No problem. Gu Yanfei smiled magnanimously at Juan Bi and stepped on the horse stool.
In her previous life, in order to be a qualified daughter of the Gu family, she would be cautious in her words and deeds, and be careful and cautious, just to gain the approval of the Gu family. But now, after her experience in the world of cultivation, she has seen a wider world.
, a more mysterious world has long been reborn.
For her, there is no need to care about the defense between men and women.
This carriage looks very ordinary from the outside, but the interior of the carriage is very elegantly decorated. The seats are covered with fox fur mattresses, a small carved mahogany table is fixed in the middle, and the floor is covered with soft Persian carpets.
Tea stoves, teapots, teacups, chessboards, etc. are all available.
After Gu Yanfei and Juan Bi sat down, the carriage drove slowly and the carriage shook rhythmically.
"This pastry is still hot, let's try it, girl." The young man in white took out a small plate of sweet-scented osmanthus millet cake from the food box next to him and gently pushed it towards Gu Yanfei opposite, gesturing for her to help herself.
His right hand is as beautiful as his own body. The fingers have clear joints, are white and slender, the roots are like jade, and the nails are full, crystal clear and neat.
Dressed in flawless white clothes, the young master is elegant, well-dressed, and has an unearthly handsome appearance. In contrast, Gu Yanfei's hair is messy, his skirt is muddy, and he is in a miserable state.
If it were a girl's family, she would probably feel ashamed of herself, but Gu Yanfei didn't even hesitate under the other person's gaze, and calmly stretched out her fingers to pick up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus millet cake.
A sweet smell penetrated her nose, and the tempting aroma of food made her salivate involuntarily, making her feel even more hungry.
Gu Yanfei bit into it slowly. The millet cake was soft and sweet in the mouth, with a rich rice aroma. Both the sweetness and texture were just right.
She tasted the taste in her mouth carefully, as if she was eating some rare and delicious food.
The young man in white picked up the teapot next to him and brewed two cups of scented tea.
Gu Yanfei took another bite of the millet cake, looked from the opponent's raised elbow to the sword on his waist, and turned his eyes on the sword.
This is a short sword with a simple scabbard and a hilt carved from Hetian green jade.
Taking the tea cup from the other party, Gu Yanfei took a sip and asked casually: "You haven't asked me what your surname is?"
"My surname is Chu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in white looked uncomfortable, turned his head to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed lightly.
"Ahem..."
Xiao Shi outside the carriage heard the coughing, and hurriedly lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and asked worriedly: "Young Master..."
He only said two words before he stopped abruptly and looked at Miss Gu in shock as she took hold of her young master's left hand. Her stunned look was the same as Juan Bi's.
The coughing gradually became quieter.
Gu Yanfei calmly pressed twice on the acupuncture point under Mr. Chu's left thumb. The skin of the tentacle was as delicate as a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, with a slight coolness.
In just a few breaths, Mr. Chu stopped coughing and his breathing became noticeably calmer.
"It's okay." Gu Yanfei smiled and retracted her hand.
Now that she has taken action, the effect will be immediate, and she will not do it again within a month.
"I didn't expect the girl to be proficient in the art of Qi Huang." Mr. Chu cleared his throat, and the smile on his face made people feel like spring breeze. "There is nothing on the way. Miss, do you want to have a chat with me?"
Anyway, playing chess wouldn't delay her eating, so Gu Yanfei nodded readily.
After a while, a crisp sound of falling was heard in the carriage.
Gu Yanfei held the black piece, and Mr. Chu held the white piece. Both of them played the game very decisively, falling one piece after another, with almost no time to think.
The black and white chess pieces are engaged in a bloodless fight on the chessboard, each expanding their own territory...
The carriage arrived at Danyang City at the beginning of Youchu.
"Young master, Danyang City has arrived!" Xiao Shiba shouted at a high volume, full of energy.
Various noisy sounds were mixed together on the official road, including chatter, shouts, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of wind... it was very noisy.
Juan Bi eagerly opened the curtains and looked out, and saw the familiar city gate appearing directly in front. The three characters "Danyang City" were written above the city gate, which was slightly mottled due to wind and rain erosion.
It was dusk at this time, and the people were rushing to enter the city before dark. Two long queues were lined up at the city gate, a hundred feet long, and the teams were advancing slowly.
There were seven or eight government officials guarding the city gate, arrogantly gesturing at the people entering the city, conducting interrogations one by one, searching carriages, searching people, and inspecting goods. The atmosphere around them was tense and depressing.
After waiting for a long time, their carriage finally arrived at the city gate.
Outside the carriage, a rough and rude male voice shouted impatiently: "Whoever is in the carriage, get out of the carriage!"
"Master, the people in the carriage are our young masters..."
The coachman replied politely, but before he could finish his words, a cadre rudely opened the door of the carriage, and the cool evening breeze blew in.
There was no obstruction in the carriage. Fatty Yanzai saw Master Gu Yanfei and Mr. Chu in the carriage at a glance. His eyes passed lightly over the two girls' houses and settled on Mr. Chu, looking him up and down.
The boy with the duck voice had no time to stop him and said with some frustration: "Master, we are good citizens, you..."
"Xiao Shi!" Mr. Chu interrupted Xiao Shi in a calm tone, and Xiao Shi had no choice but to close his mouth and purse his lips tightly, obviously unconvinced.
"My lord, I'm sorry." Immediately afterwards, Mr. Chu politely bowed his hands to the Yamen, "I've been feeling cold these days, and I can't blow the wind...cough cough."
As he spoke, he turned his face slightly, put his fist against his lips, and coughed violently. A blush like rouge appeared on his pale cheeks, looking weak and sick.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows in interest, her eyes falling on his face.
Pretending to be like that...
