It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Changqing laughed out loud. After laughing, he came forward and asked curiously, "You are really good. How did you do it?"

"It's better to be prepared. Ugly people have less trouble." Weng Xiaoxiao pointed to her cheek.

Only when I got closer could I see clearly that there was a red thing that looked like human skin stuck on Weng Xiaoxiao's face.

However, this slightly intimate action made both of them feel a little awkward and their heartbeats quickened. Weng Xiaoxiao took a step back and kept some distance.

Lin Changqing pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Just carry it with you from now on. If you don't look closely, it can still scare people."

"Next time I go out, I will put on ugly makeup. It's OK for emergencies, but it's easy to be exposed."

This was said naturally, but it made Lin Changqing feel uncomfortable. Which girl doesn't like to be coquettish? But she could only act ugly. It was because of his incompetence that he couldn't protect her at all.

Noticing that Lin Changqing was in a low mood, Weng Xiaoxiao changed the subject, "The gentleman should have come to Beijing. Have you met him?"

Lin Changqing shook his head. Everyone was busy with their own things. Apart from doing the accounts, he seldom went to the bookstore.

"If anything bad happens to my father, you must find a way to write to tell me. I will be happy if he is not well!"

In the original book, Jiang Xiaoxiao died on the eve of the Spring Examination of that year. I wonder who would be the next poor person to take her place if she were gone. The scumbag father was brought down by the hero after the Spring Examination and dismissed from his position in the Imperial College. There was no further description of this person afterwards, so she didn't know what the ending would be.

"I found someone to keep an eye on him. I didn't dare get too close, so I didn't know many details. Debao seemed to be making some small moves, but nowadays this kid is very cautious and won't act rashly. You don't have to worry."

Speaking of which, Weng Xiaoxiao missed these brother and sister very much.

"If there is a chance, please let Kang Bao come to Yangzhou. I have been bothering you for two years."

"That's easy. It was a living contract signed at the beginning. She can leave at any time. When the caravan returns to Yangzhou, she can be allowed to follow along. I believe she is willing."

"Thank you!"

Lin Changqing smiled and shook his head. It was just a small thing. He felt better if he could do something for her.

"Since we didn't have a big meal, I'll take you to the night market. The special snacks here are also very good."

What to eat is secondary. Lin Changqing is more than happy to be able to walk around with Weng Xiaoxiao.

After strolling for more than an hour, the two returned home.

……

After a long journey and not sleeping well last night, Lin Changqing fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow due to the accumulated fatigue. After a good sleep, he was completely refreshed. As soon as he left the house, he met Weng Xiaoxiao who had just returned from exercise.

"After practicing for so long, how high can you jump now?"

Weng Xiaoxiao took off the sandbag on her legs and immediately felt as light as a swallow. She breathed in and out, put her toes on the ground, and jumped onto the stone table.

Lin Changqing watched with a smile on his face. There were so many amazing things about this girl, and her perseverance was something few could match.

Apart from his family background, how could he be worthy of her?

He shook his head to get rid of the frustration in his heart, and said with a smile: "I said I brought you a gift yesterday, open it and take a look."

Holding it in her hand, Weng Xiaoxiao looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure out what it was, so she quickly opened the buckle of her leather jacket.

Inside was a crossbow made of fine iron, delicate and small. Weng Xiaoxiao was surprised by this gift, but she liked it very much.

This thing can be tied to the arm and worn under the wide sleeves of a robe. It is completely inconspicuous and is a very good self-defense weapon.

When Lin Changqing saw this sample by virtue of his position, he knew that Weng Xiaoxiao would like it. This was specially made by the Ministry of War, and there was a fixed number, so he didn't dare to have any bad thoughts.

After completing the task from the Ministry of War, Lin Changqing found the craftsman and spent several hundred taels of silver to make such a sword. Although the material is not as good as those from the Ministry of War, the design is more compact and powerful.

After Lin Changqing finished explaining the usage, Weng Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to try it out in the yard.

Fenggu came up with a good idea to hang the cushion on the tree as a target.

Only then did Lin Changqing realize that Feng Gu was unusual and seemed like someone familiar with military training.

Weng Xiaoxiao only had her eyes on the target, so Lin Changqing started chatting with Feng Gu.

There was nothing to hide, so Feng Gu told everyone the reasons and consequences of her coming to Weng Xiaoxiao.

Lin Changqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and didn't know what to say. With Feng Gu accompanying Weng Xiaoxiao, he should be more assured, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Although the crossbow arrow is small, it is shot with great force. If you don't find the right feeling, it might hit the wrong place, making those who come out to watch the fun break out in a cold sweat and have to stay away.

How should I respond to such an expensive gift? Weng Xiaoxiao was a little confused. "Boyu, I don't have any expensive gifts for you."

"Then just owe it to me first, and the caravan will make more money for me." The more you owe, the better.

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's still the empty promise stage. After all, we haven't made any money yet! We still need to rely on Lord Lin for future development. It's worth it."

Lin Changqing said nothing more. Making money would benefit everyone.

The clothes Kang Bao made for Weng Xiaoxiao became more and more beautiful, and his craftsmanship improved significantly.

......

Lin Changqing has a position and can take leave, but he can't stay too long. It will take several days on the road, so he has to leave.

Weng Xiaoxiao prepared a lot of Yangzhou specialties for Lin Changqing. They didn't need to be expensive, but they just needed to be unique. She wrote a letter to Debao, instructing him on many things. She drew some unique embroidery patterns for Kangbao.

On the morning of the twelfth day, Weng Xiaoxiao personally escorted Lin Changqing out of the city.

Before leaving, Lin Changqing couldn't help but hug Weng Xiaoxiao, but it was only for a moment. He was afraid that if he hugged her for too long, she would be reluctant to let go, and he was also afraid that Weng Xiaoxiao would think he was a pervert.

Only when the carriage had gone far away and its shadow could no longer be seen did Weng Xiaoxiao mount the horse and turn back.

She was speeding along the way and didn't want to stop and think too much!

……

Weng Xiaoxiao had already paid the fare for the driver who was going on a long journey, but worried that they would be reluctant to spend the money, she sent Xiaotian to ask Chen Cheng if there was anything else that needed large items so that she could prepare them.

Chen Cheng suggested buying a tent or asking someone to sew it, but time was too tight and the women in the village had never made a tent before, so it couldn't be completed in a few days. They couldn't make a big one, but they could make a small one. Weng Xiaoxiao asked someone to sew a few cotton pockets to serve as sleeping bags, which were warmer than quilts and convenient to carry when going out, making them the most practical.

On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, Weng Xiaoxiao and Feng Gu stayed at the farmhouse. It was more lively here and it would be convenient to see them off tomorrow morning.

There are no exquisite palace lanterns and no delicious dishes, but the big red lanterns hanging high are also bright and eye-catching.

Each family contributed a few dishes, Weng Xiaoxiao provided a few jars of wine, and the whole village set up a long street banquet. With wine and meat, people talked and laughed, and the New Year passed just like that.

The 16th is a good day to travel.

Chen Cheng rode in front, five carriages were in the middle, and Liu Hongsheng was the rear guard. The caravan left Yangzhou in a mighty manner.
