Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Liu Zhen put away the set of bowls, and everyone got into the carriage after resting for a while. They didn't know where they were. The curtains of the carriage shook with the body of the carriage.

Chen Jun was holding the map and looking at it carefully. Qing Ping glanced at it, and felt that the drawing was very blurry. It only marked some relatively large cities and place names, and some places were still blank.

The blue lines on the map looked like rivers, maybe Qingping's peeking movements were too obvious, Chen Jun leaned forward, put the map between the two of them, and generously said: "Just look at it if you want."

Qing Ping held the map, and it didn't feel like paper, but felt like leather.Chen Jun's fingers approached from Hengzhou to Hezhou on the map. There is a river running through the two states and branching out into countless tributaries in Chenzhou.

Are you going to Hezhou?Qingping saw a red circle marked under Hezhou, which said 'Le'an', and Chen Jun pointed to the red dot and said, "Our trip is going to Le'an City."

"Miss, shall we go by water?" Liu Zhen asked.

Chen Jun nodded and said, "When you leave Hengzhou, you will take a boat."

There are few people on this road, and occasionally passing by the post station to change horses, Chen Jun found out a book from somewhere, and asked Liu Zhen to teach Qingping how to read.

"Learn Qingping well," Chen Jun said with a smile while stroking Qingping's head, "It will be of great use."

Although Qingping was puzzled, he followed suit.They crossed the mountains, went all the way south, and crossed half of Hengzhou. The weather was still cold, but it snowed less and less. When Qingping read all the words in the book, Liu Zhen had nothing to teach her. That's right, the group of people finally arrived at Luancheng at the junction of Hengzhou and Hezhou.

Although the status of Luancheng is not as good as that of Chang'an, it has its unique conditions.The goods transported by water from various states to Hengzhou must be inspected in Luancheng before they can be released. Some merchants directly disassemble the goods on the spot, sell them to the caravan, and the caravan transports them to Chang'an.

If you want to take a boat to Minzhou, Chenzhou, Hezhou, you need to board the boat in Luancheng.After checking the documents, they entered Luancheng and rested in an inn for half a day.

Chen Jun asked for water for the three of them to wash, but the man in black had disappeared since entering the inn.Qingping seized the time to take a bath, when suddenly someone knocked on the wooden window, Qingping asked vigilantly, "Who?"

Liu Zhen's voice came: "It's me, open the door."

Qingping dried his body indiscriminately, put on an unlined garment and opened the door. Liu Zhen held a package in his hand, went into the Qingping room and opened it. It turned out to be a set of long robes with straight trains. "Change quickly." Liu Zhen shook off the clothes and pressed Qingping dressed her, Qingping hurriedly said: "What are you doing?"

Liu Zhen had quick hands and feet, and it didn't take long to put on this complicated robe for Qingping. After fastening her girdle, Liu Zhen took the bronze mirror and took out a jade crown from the package. Qingping felt a little familiar, Taking a closer look, it is the one that Chen Jun often wears.

This is simply overstepping, but without Chen Jun's permission, Liu Zhen would not have done this.Qingping pressed Liu Zhen's hand combing her hair, and asked in a low voice, "What does Miss want me to do?"

Liu Zhen tied Qingping's hair with a jade crown, and with a decorative pendant in her mouth, she mumbled: "..."

Qingping listened hard for a while but couldn't figure out what she was talking about. When Liu Zhen tied the pendant beads, the door opened gently, and Chen Jun came in. Qingping still had something on her head, and hurriedly salute.Chen Jun helped her up and said, "Qingping, now you are a lady, and Liu Zhen and I are serving you. Do you still remember the words I taught you when you came out? If you will be like this when you get on the boat explain."

Chen Jun and Liu Zhen wore the same clothes, and her hair was tied behind her head with cloth strips. Qing Ping held on to the hem of the clothes nervously, but was afraid of ruining the precious clothes.Chen Jun smoothed the wrinkles of her sleeves for her, "Tell me what I taught you last time."

Qing Ping tried his best to recall: ".......A native of Anping County, Yunzhou, his mother was in business in Minzhou, and studied in Mr. Chuanying's school for several years...now he is getting older... ...my mother sent someone to pick me up."

"That's right," Chen Jun pressed her shoulders and said, "Show more of the aura of a young lady."

Qing Ping silently said a few more times in his heart, Liu Zhen packed up his things and stood behind her, Chen Jun asked: "Okay, after you leave this door, you are 'Yu Jun', Liu Zhen and I are serving by your side Man...don't make a mistake, it's not good to let people see it."

Qingping took a deep breath, Chen Jun put on the cloak for her, and then opened the door.Qingping slowly walked down from the second floor, it was lunch time, and the first floor was full of people, Qingping felt a few unclear eyes sweep over him.

"Guests, walk slowly—" the waiter saw Qingping's attire and said courteously.

Qingping was wearing a silver-gray long gown with a straight train. Although she was short in stature, she was born like a beautiful jade. The jade crown she wore on her head was not ordinary. She was followed by two servants, like a young lady from a wealthy family traveling.

The shopkeeper has never seen people from all over the world, but when he sees a rich person, he still has to go up and ask a few words: "Where does this lady come from? The small shop is still comfortable to live in?"

Qing Ping nodded slightly, returned a smile in a detached manner, and walked out of the inn without answering.The carriage was already waiting outside, Qingping stood in front of the carriage, Chen Jun stretched out his hand to help her into the carriage, and waited for the curtains to be lowered to block the view from the outside before she leaned on the carriage to breathe.

"Is it that difficult? I won't blame you." Chen Jun said, "Persevere, we have to get on the boat later."

Arriving at the wharf, there is a new ship on the right, and the goods on the ship are covered with impermeable Ubud. The officers and soldiers who come and go open the Ubud, and the clerks count the goods. It was a cargo ship transported to various states. It was parked at the pier and was ready to go. A luxurious passenger ship was parked at the nearest place. Qing Ping got off the car. The man in black clasped his fists to greet Chen Jun. Chen Jun whispered: "Thank you Now, when we settle down in Hezhou, we will naturally meet."

The man in black nodded and drove away in the carriage.Qingping stood in front of a woman in blue with a document in her hand. The woman had dark skin. While reading the document, she kept looking at Qingping, wondering: "Where is Miss from?"

Qingping was already too familiar, so he opened his mouth and said, "I am from Anping County, Yunzhou..."

"Where are you going?"

"...Minzhou. My mother is doing business in Minzhou. This trip is to visit my family."

Qingping has a natural attitude, and his amber eyes are calm and straight ahead.The woman in blue read the document again, but there was nothing wrong with it, so she had to stamp the document and let it go.

Chen Jun led the way and took Qingping on the splint. Liu Zhen showed the receipt, and someone led them to a small room. Chen Jun closed the door, and Qingping let go of her clenched fist in her sleeve. The palms were slightly wet, so I had to stretch them out to dry.

This was a valuable experience for Qingping. She slowly took off her cloak and put it aside carefully, but Chen Jun held her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not over yet."

Qingping was stunned: "Huh?"

Chen Jun said calmly, "You don't need to change your clothes, you just wear them, and they were made for you."

Qingping felt that they seemed to be running away from someone. The carriage left Chang'an, avoiding the borders of people, and took the ancient mountain road; Starting to make clothes by myself, it seems that Chen Jun has already arranged everything.Thinking of this, Qingping sat down silently and poured a cup of tea for Chen Jun.

Chen Jun drank the tea in one gulp and said, "Walls have ears. I'll tell you more about it when I get to Hezhou."

It will take [-] days from Luancheng to Le'an City in Hezhou. Chen Jun took out another book from somewhere. It is some kind of "sage cloud". The servant brought it to the room.Liu Zhen also found some joy in being a teacher. Every day when he was reciting Qingping's books, he felt a little regretful and said: "...It's a pity that there are no pens, ink, paper and inkstones on board. It would be great if we took the opportunity to practice calligraphy together. of."

Qingping said that it's better to forget it, and she has no ambition to become an official in the scientific examination, she is purely doing things for others by working for others.Chen Jun was often overjoyed to see her in pain, patted her on the head and said: "Don't think that you can be complacent because you understand the few travel notes in the study. How can you do it properly if you read, read, write, and compose poems?" Hurry up and learn with Liu Zhen while you have time, no matter how bad she is, she is more than enough to teach you."

The boss has spoken, and Qingping can only show his determination and focus on fighting the college entrance examination in his previous life, and use his actions and attitude to show that he is a conscientious and good employee, and try his best to satisfy Chen Jun.

It was evening when they arrived in Le'an City. Hezhou was close to the south, and the ice and snow melted early. The whole city stood tall like a new plant in the twilight of early spring.

As the sun sets, the golden and red afterglow sprinkles on the water, reflecting a beautiful scene; the city of Le'an is full of traffic and people, and the shouts of vendors are faintly heard not far away. This bustling and bustling street scene makes Qingping feel very cordial.After staying on the boat for more than [-] days, she finally got off the ground, still not quite used to it.

Chen Jun bought a pony on the side of the street and motioned Qingping to sit on it.Qingping looked at the horse which was slightly taller than her, and grabbed the saddle and gritted his teeth and climbed up, because horses were not allowed to ride on the main road, Chen Jun led the horse into an alley slowly.

The fashion of early spring was a bit chilly. They walked through the winding alleys, the hustle and bustle of the street was slowly left behind, and in the quiet alleys only the sound of horses' treading and kicking could be heard. They passed by the doors of several houses in the alley. , The newly pasted couplet red paper is slightly upturned, flying up and down in the evening wind.Finally, they stopped in a small courtyard, and the door of the courtyard was unlocked.Chen Jun pushed open the wooden door, Qingping got off the horse, and led the horse into the yard by herself.

Qingping and Liu Zhen looked at the new house curiously. The yard hadn't been cleaned for a long time, showing a dilapidated scene. There was a bamboo frame on the right side of the yard. There is still unmelted snow in the ground, clinging to the bluestone floor, and the melted water flows into the cracks and wets the ground.

Chen Jun said wearily: "Okay, we're here."
