Early the next morning, when the sun shone brightly, Chen Dongyue took the coachman and the maid and ran away.

When passing by the largest waterway dock in the city, the three of them also discovered that the workers on the dock were wearing the same clothes as the porters yesterday.

Some of the more well-dressed, steward-looking people were shouting: "Please be careful, this batch of goods is the porcelain sent to Jiangnan by the master. If one piece is broken, your lives will not be enough to pay for it!" "

The workers didn't say a word, but numbly moved things onto the ship carefully.

Chen Dongyue shouted "Drive!" and drove away from the dock quickly.

This place has so many rules that it's suffocating.

She really didn't want to stay a second longer.

After leaving Deyicheng, Chen Dongyue did not dare to delay for a moment on the road.

I only stopped twice on the way to eat and solve physical problems.

The rest of the time, I was on the road.

When we arrived at the gate of the capital, the time was just right and the gate was about to close.

In the cities of the Great Rong Dynasty, there was no uniform time for the city gates to be closed.

Like Raocheng in Nanzhou in the past, the city gate closed at the beginning of the Youshi hour.

As for Liaocheng, because there had been banditry in the past, there was a time when I wanted to keep the city gates closed twelve hours a day.

A few days ago, after finally suppressing the bandits, the time for closing the city gate was changed to the first quarter of Xushi.

Although Yicheng, which I passed through yesterday, has a curfew, the city gates were closed only after the third watch.

All in all, it is up to the city officials to decide which city and when to close its gates.

When the capital city closed its doors was decided by the most noble emperor in the city.

But that’s not accurate.

To be precise, the closing and opening of the city gates vary every year.

It depends on whether Qin Tianjian pinches his left hand or his right hand.

They would adjust the opening and closing time of the city gate based on the emperor's destiny, plus conclusions drawn from the Nine Palaces Flying Star Chart and night observation of the sky.

In fact, when the emperor was young, it would not be so complicated.

But now that he is older, there are more and more things he is afraid of.

At this time, it is the end of the Youshi period.

It is the time when the capital city gates are closed this month.

Chen Dongyue rushed the car to the city gate just as the gate was about to close.

Horse, go forward bravely.

Man, without brakes.

"Click".

The horse's head got stuck in the door.

Chen Dongyue cursed: "Chen Youqian, are you stupid!!!"

On the way to the bus, she had already gotten to know Chen Youqian a little bit.

This horse is said to be brave at best, but at worst said to be short of brains.

Silly.

When it obeys human command, it refuses to think for itself.

Completely unilinear.

The guards inside the city gate were also startled by the horse head that suddenly came in.

Hearing Chen Dongyue swearing outside the door again, although the guard didn't know who Chen Youqian was, he was still very angry.

No matter what you call Chen rich or Chen poor, if you scare our gatekeepers, you will become Chen unlucky!

So some officers and soldiers opened the door and wanted to open their mouths to lecture, but their mouths were blocked by the ten taels of silver given by Feng Bei.

"Thank you for your hard work, officials," Feng Bei said politely: "The younger one is Feng Bei, the guard of Zhang Shen's family, the minister of civil affairs. This is my guide, please take a look at it, officials.

This is Mrs. Zhang’s goddaughter in our mansion, Chen Dongyue, Chen Xiaowei.

We came from Liaocheng to deliver something to our wife. It happens to be the time when the city gate is closed. Please be accommodating. "

When he heard that he was from Zhang Shilang's family, the guard had no choice but to take it back when he cursed.

The man who received the money weighed the silver ingot in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Normally we can't accept this silver."

Chen Dongyue was about to open her mouth, but Taohong suddenly threw herself into her arms.

What's going on? !

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Taohong.

Taohong could only sneer and say: "Hehehehe, I'm sorry, boss, I don't have a good eye when walking. I accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained my foot."

In fact, where is her sprained foot?

She just wanted to shut up Chen Dongyue's mouth.

According to Taohong's understanding of her boss, the boss will definitely say, 'Forget it if you don't accept it, just give the money back. '

But the host was tall, and Taohong couldn't cover her mouth, so she could only fall into his arms.

Feng Bei and Chen Dongyue walked here all the way from Raocheng, so they naturally knew what her temper was like.

Taking advantage of Taohong's interruption, Feng Bei pulled the guard aside and said with a smile:

"It's freezing cold here, and you all have worked hard. This is not money. This is just a jar of ginger wine to ward off the cold."

Seeing that Feng Bei spoke politely, and since they were members of the Zhang family, the guard said a few words to them not to be stuck in such a time jam in the future, and waved their hands to let them in.

After entering the city, Chen Dongyue did not dare to catch the bus again.

Mainly because Chen Youqian had his head squeezed by the door, he was a little unhappy and lost his temper.

This stupid thing takes three steps forward and takes two steps back, which is no longer within Chen Dongyue's control.

Therefore, Feng Bei had to take over Chen Youqian who was squeezed by the door.

He also has a good temper.

Although he had clearly taken over the mess, he was still explaining to Chen Dongyue, "Dong Chen's family, it sounds like our master is a third-grade court official, and he has quite a lot of status.

But the most indispensable thing in the capital is high-ranking officials. In addition, there are many royal relatives and nobles, so my master still has to keep a low profile..."

"Understood," Chen Dongyue nodded, "It's better to be low-key. To be honest with you, I am also a low-key person."

Feng Bei was overjoyed and suggested, "Can we discuss it? Can we put away our two-meter sword in a while?"

If you really like knives and swords, I know a few good blacksmith shops in the capital and can take you to have a look. "

When the blacksmith shop was mentioned, Chen Dongyue's eyes lit up, "Okay! Then let's make an agreement. You have to take me to visit the blacksmith shops in the capital."

"Okay~~~" Feng Bei agreed without thinking.

But when I turned around and thought about it, it was wrong again, "No, the younger one said 'a few places', not the whole city!"

Chen Dongyue now knew how to pretend to be polite. She said, "Oh, there are people on this street. I don't want to show my face."

After saying that, she lowered the thick curtain of the carriage and pretended to be dead in the carriage.

Feng Bei smiled bitterly.

But just for a moment.

Then I actually laughed.

In his eyes, Chen Dongyue is just a walking two hundred taels.

That's right!

His real good boss, Zhang Dezhao, Mr. Zhang agreed to him before setting off.

As long as Chen Dongyue can be brought back safely, he will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver.

Two hundred taels! !

He has to work for ten years to get it.

What does it matter if you go to blacksmith shops all over the city for two hundred taels? !

Needless to say, although the boss likes to use money to win people's hearts, the people under them also really love the boss.

After all, these days, there are not many people willing to buy people's hearts with real money! !

.......

By the time Chen Dongyue and the others arrived at the door of Zhang's house, the moon had already come out.

When the concierge heard that Feng Bei was coming with the eldest son's sister in Liaozhou, he quickly welcomed him in.

The boy ran all the way and handed Xin'er outside the second door.

The night watch woman outside the second door ran all the way again and returned to the main courtyard.

The mother-in-law of the main courtyard ran all the way again and returned to the garden of the main courtyard.

The girl waiting in the flower hall trotted all the way again, returning to the Meiyuan where Mrs. Zhang lived today.

By the time Chun Nuan, the maid next to Mrs. Zhang, came to pick her up, Chen Dongyue had already finished her dinner.

Then when Chen Dongyue sees Mrs. Zhang, she can have midnight snack again.

Chen Dongyue was thinking about it along the way.

If Mr. Zhang was in a hurry to go to the toilet, he would probably poop in his pants pocket before he even got to the house.

Chen Dongyue couldn't help but grin silently at the thought of Mr. Zhang having shit in his crotch.

"Chun Nuan," suddenly a familiar voice came from the thorn, "Who are you taking to the inner courtyard?"

Chen Dongyue turned her head.

"Why is it you!!!" Zhang Shilang's voice rose three points higher.

Chen Dongyue, who was immersed in fantasy, grinned almost to her ears, "It's been a long time, Master Zhang. Are you in good health recently?"

"...What are you doing here!" Looking at Chen Dongyue's mouth that looked like it was about to eat someone, Zhang Shilang quietly took a step back.

He is not afraid of Chen Dongyue.

He was just... just... afraid of being sprayed by this woman's saliva!

But why on earth does Chen Dongyue smile so happily? !

What on earth did she want from him? !

Thinking of this, Zhang Shilang couldn't help but shudder, and then tightened his cloak...
