Huaxi Chronicle

West of the city.

Although Cui Jiamu's hug at the end was somewhat inexplicable, Xun Feibai didn't think too much about it.

After Cui Jiamu's carriage left, Xun Feibai saw another carriage behind Cui's carriage.

Looking from a distance, Xun Feibai recognized that the person driving the car was the treasure box, and the one sitting beside her was Yuzhu.She stepped forward quickly and greeted the two of them, "Treasure box, jade beads."

Treasure Box nodded with the same complexion: "Miss Xun."

Yuzhu looked at Xun Feibai, unable to express herself.

Xun Feibai was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Yuzhu, do you have something to tell me?"

Seeing her speak so frankly, Yuzhu was at a loss for words for a while, and said, "Miss Xun, you just..."

Before Yuzhu finished speaking, she was interrupted.

Yan Cong'an's cold voice came from inside the carriage: "Yuzhu, don't waste any more time, let someone come up."

Yuzhu shut up when she heard the words, she jumped out of the car, made room for Xun Fei to get in the car.

Xun Fei thanked him in vain and got into the car.

She lifted the curtain of the car, and saw Yan Cong'an sitting against the wall of the car, holding a scroll.

This horse-drawn carriage does not sit on the left and right as usual, but has a row of wider seats and cushions at the rear of the carriage.As a result, Xun Feibai could only sit beside Yan Cong'an.

But the carriage was less than four feet wide, and the two sat in the same row, although they were not close to each other, they were still very close.Thinking of this, Xun Feibai felt a little embarrassed.

She suppressed her shame and greeted Yan Cong'an, "Cong'an."

Yan Cong'an nodded, then moved to one side, motioning for her to sit on the other side.

Xun Feibai put the burden in his hands aside, and sat beside Yan Cong'an.As soon as she sat down, a faint peach blossom fragrance wafted from her body, covering up the refreshing soap locust fragrance on this person.

Yan Cong'an frowned slightly.

Seeing her frown, Xun Feibai thought that he was sitting too close to her, so he moved a little to the other side.

Although Yan Cong'an didn't like the fragrance of flowers on her body, it can be seen that she was close to the side of the carriage, wishing for another person to sit between them, and she was even more displeased.

She said softly, "Why is Fei Bai sitting so far away? But he doesn't want to get too close to me?"

Seeing her misunderstanding, Xun Feibai hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to get close to you, but I'm afraid..." Before she finished speaking, she realized that what she just said was a bit frivolous. speech.

Yan Cong'an pretended not to understand the meaning of the words, and asked in confusion: "It's not that Fei Bai doesn't want to get close to me, so why is he sitting so far away?"

Seeing her normal expression, Xun Feibai thought he was worrying too much.Then he explained to her: "I'm afraid that if I sit too close, I might squeeze Cong'an."

Yan Cong'an said with a smile: "I'm not crowded, but Fei Bai is sitting like this, I'm afraid I'll be crowded. You'd better sit over here. It's more than fifty miles to Binzhou, if Fei Bai sits like this all the way, tomorrow I’m afraid I’ll have sore knees.”

Xun Feibai thought for a while, and what Yan Cong'an said was indeed reasonable, so he moved towards her.

Seeing her sitting close, Yan Cong'an pretended to approach her, smelled it and said, "What's the smell on Fei Bai? It's so strong, but he brought a peach blossom sachet?"

Xun Feibai didn't smell any fragrance on his body, he raised his sleeve and smelled it, it seemed that there was a hint of peach blossom fragrance.

The smell is so light that Yan Cong'an can smell it. Xun Feibai admired it a little: "Cong'an's nose is really good. I have never noticed it. Maybe it was accidentally contaminated somewhere. The sachet on my body was a few days ago. The sun was a little damaged, so I put it at home and didn’t take it with me.”

Hearing what she said, Yan Cong'an took out a new sachet from the hidden compartment of the carriage, handed it to Xun Feibai and said, "I bought two new sachets a few days ago, and now there is an extra one. It contains my favorite spice, if Fei Bai doesn't mind it, I will give it to you."

Although Liang Guo has a traditional custom of giving a lover a sachet, the sachet presented by Yan Cong'an was neither made by her, nor was she deliberately bought by Xun Feibai, let alone the two were already engaged, Fei Bai didn't think much about it, so he took it and hung it on his waist.

Yan Cong'an saw her directly hanging the sachet on her waist, and the sullenness in her heart was relieved a little, but the scene she saw at the alley just now really felt like a stick in the throat, which made people feel unhappy.Just now when Xun Feibai got into the car, she didn't want to mention it, now she wants to ask, but she doesn't know how to ask.

Looking at the sachet at his waist, Xun Feibai remembered what happened just now, and reached out from his bosom to take out the amulet Cui Jiamu gave her.Open the sachet at the waist and put the amulet in it.

Seeing this, Yan Cong'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked aloud, "What did Fei Bai just take?"

Xun Feibai heard the words, opened the sachet, took out the amulet, handed it to Yan Cong'an, and said, "This is what Xiaomu gave me just now, and it is the amulet that Guangji Temple asked for. Wish me a smooth trip , She has something on her mind, I can't refuse it, there is nowhere to take it now, I think I put it in the sachet first, and then put it away when I go home."

Yan Cong'an knew that this amulet was given to her by Cui Jiamu, but seeing that Xun Feibai didn't hide it, and didn't say much, she took the amulet and looked back and forth. It was a common one in temples. style.

One side of the amulet was embroidered with a lotus flower, and the other side was embroidered with the words "All the Best", but Yan Cong'an casually glanced at it, and saw a row of small characters embroidered under the lotus, which was Xun Feibai's name.

Yan Cong'an raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that these three characters were not there when Guangji Temple asked for them. The stitches are not neat. You don't need to guess to know that it was embroidered by Cui Jiamu, but Xun Feibai's name was deliberately embroidered. Quite attentive.

But just now when she was in the carriage, she saw that Xun Feibai took the amulet without looking at it, and put it in her arms, she probably didn't see her name embroidered on it either.

Yan Cong'an didn't want to tell her about this, so he reached out and handed the amulet back to Xun Feibai with the side facing up.

Xun Feibai didn't know how careful she was, so after receiving the amulet, he put it back into the sachet.

Yan Cong'an seemed to mention it casually: "Cui Jiamu looked for you just now?"

Xun Feibai didn't pay attention to her question, so he answered bluntly: "Yesterday Cui Jiaze came to look for me. She knew from Cui Jiaze that I was leaving for Binzhou today, so she came to say goodbye to me and just gave me this amulet. With that said, Xun Feibai remembered what happened at the alley just now, and showed a hint of embarrassment on his face: "She told me that she would treat me like a elder sister in the future, and would no longer love me."

Yan Cong'an didn't answer the words, but just looked at Xun Feibai quietly.

Seeing that she was silent, Xun Feibai was afraid that she might misunderstand, and then said: "I see her expression is relieved, she must have really figured it out, don't overthink it."

Cui Jiamu didn't figure it out, Yan Cong'an didn't care, anyway, this person is already engaged to him now.

No matter who it is, it is delusional to want to snatch someone away.

After Xun Feibai explained, he waited for Yan Cong'an's reply.

After listening to her explanation, Yan Cong'an said with a faint smile: "Fei Bai is really as hot as my uncle said, not only Cui Jiamu, but even my three-year-old niece also wants to marry Ji I will be your wife. Presumably there are many people in the academy who love Fei Bai."

Xun Feibai heard the meaning of ridicule in her words, his face turned red immediately, and he said: "How can you make fun of me with this matter from Cong'an? I said that day that what a three-year-old child said can't be true. When I was in the academy, I was determined I only know how to read books, and I have never heard anyone say that they love me. The words of the old mountain chief are just words to coax children, so don't take it seriously."

Yan Cong'an smiled without saying a word, with disbelief in his eyes.

Xun Feibai glanced at the book in Yan Cong'an's hand, then turned around and asked, "What book was Cong'an just reading?"

Yan Cong'an knew that she was changing the subject on purpose, but didn't expose it, so he followed her words and replied, "It's a travelogue."

The two talked about some travel notes and miscellaneous books, and then they read quietly without disturbing each other.

Having been bothered by chores for several days, Xun Feibai rarely had time in this car at this time, so he could study hard.

After the carriage drove for more than an hour, Xun Feibai felt his shoulders sink. It turned out that Yan Cong'an, who was reading a book, fell asleep at some point.

Xun Feibai switched the book from his hand to his left, and straightened his body slightly so that Yan Cong'an could lean more comfortably.

In this way, one person read the book and the other leaned on the shoulders for a nap, until the carriage stopped suddenly.Fortunately, Xun Feibai reacted quickly and reached out to hold Yan Cong'an in his arms, preventing her from falling off the seat directly.

Yan Cong'an was naturally awakened by such a big commotion.

Seeing her wake up, Xun Feibai helped her to sit upright.

At this time, the voice of the treasure box came from in front of the car: "Just now a deer suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, the treasure box failed its duty, and the third lady was startled."

Yan Cong'an straightened his clothes and asked, "Where are you now?"

Just now the carriage came to a sudden stop, Bao He knew that the two people in the carriage should be safe before he heard any impact in the carriage, so he drove forward slowly.

Hearing Yan Cong'an's question, he replied: "Third lady, we have arrived at Sanchong Mountain."

Triple Mountain is not three mountains connected, but just one mountain.After leaving Huaxi County and heading north, after passing Bailipo, you will find Sanchong Mountain.When they arrived at Sanchong Mountain, they were outside the boundaries of Huaxi County.

Xun Feibai calculated in his mind, if he has already reached Sanchong Mountain, then half of the journey has already been passed.It should have been almost three hours since several people came out of Huaxi County.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and opened the curtain of the car. Sure enough, the sun was shining outside the car, and it was noon.

Yan Cong'an also saw the scenery outside from the curtain she opened. She thought for a while and told the treasure box: "Treasure box, find a mountain stream, stop for a while and then go on your way."

The treasure box heard the words and agreed.

The carriage drove for less than half an hour and stopped slowly. The voice of the treasure box came from the front of the carriage: "There is a stream ahead, do you want to stop here to rest?"

Yan Cong'an stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, and saw that beside the road on the right hand side, there was a small gentle slope that was not steep, and there was a stream at the bottom of the slope.She put down the car curtain: "Just rest here."

The treasure box slowly drove the horse down the slope, and stopped by the mountain stream.

After the car came to a complete stop, Xun Feibai and the two got out of the car, Bao He unhooked the harness, and led the horse to the stream.

The two horses ran continuously for two and a half hours, already thirsty, bowed their heads and began to drink heavily.
