Consort Zhanzhao

Under Bai Qingluo's guidance, Zhao Bijia bought a bunch of clothes, jewelry and accessories for her prince's younger brother. Although she doesn't know if His Royal Highness will be satisfied, the little girl in front of her is obviously Satisfied.

Bai Qingluo's eyes turned into crescents, and she looked at Zhao Bijia very relieved, her eyes were full of saying "I have accepted your gift, this is a gift in return".

Zhao Bijia ordered the clerk to wrap up the things, and when she looked up, she saw Bai Qingluo staring at Zhan Zhao again, Zhao Bijia frowned slightly, but before she had time to ask her, she heard Bai Qingluo say: "Brother Zhao, Is this your servant too?"

Zhao Bijia frowned even more. Before coming here, Mr. Gongsun also talked about the customs and customs here. Although it is still the territory of the Song Dynasty, some customs are still biased towards the former Nanzhao.

For example, there are slaves here, and for example, slaves can be freely exchanged and bought.

Zhao Bijia quickly turned her head and glared at Zhan Zhao, looking at your face, it's exactly what Zhao Hu said, from eight to 80 years old, no one doesn't like it!

But when she turned her head back, she smiled and said to Bai Qingluo: "No, this is a master invited from Bianliang, and when he escorts me back to Bianliang, he won't be considered mine."

Bai Qingluo groaned, looked at Zhan Zhao again, and said nothing more.

Zhao Bijia breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Are you also here to buy fabric?"

Bai Qingluo was still holding sister Bai's hand in one hand, nodded and said: "Yes, it's hard to celebrate a birthday, so I have to buy more."

Zhao Bijia couldn't help remembering that she was doing the same thing in the early years, finding all excuses just to get more gifts, and trying to divert her interest in Zhan Zhao, so she smiled at her and said, "Why don't I give you something too?"

Although she was talking to Bai Qingluo, Zhao Bijia was looking at Sister Bai.

Elder Sister Bai was a bit like a parent who encourages children to grow up on their own. She nodded at Zhao Bijia, then looked down at Bai Qingluo, and said with a smile, "Do you want it?"

Bai Qingluo nodded and said, "I've seen you for two days in a row," she felt a little embarrassed as she said that, she looked at Elder Sister Bai and said, "Just one horse, we'll buy the rest by ourselves?"

Sister Bai agreed.

Zhao Bijia looked at the silk and satin cloth in the room and said, "Why don't I send you here from the capital?" She took a closer look at their outfits and came to the same conclusion as Yang and An.

These two are definitely not short of money.

Bai Qingluo nodded, let go of Sister Bai's hand, walked to Zhao Bijia, raised her head and smiled shyly, "Tell me about these silks and satins again."

Bai Qingluo was not as tall as Zhao Bijia, and Zhao Bijia had to lower her head slightly when they were talking, but it was this posture that made her extremely satisfied.

Growing up so big... Except for her younger brother, no one has ever satisfied her so much.

And Zhao Xuan didn't know what she ate this year, she kept growing rapidly, almost as tall as her, and Zhao Bijia was about to become the shortest one in the palace.

Zhao Bijia looked down and saw Baiqingluo's crystal clear skin and plump cheeks, she really wanted to have a younger sister~

Speaking of fabrics, the major types are nothing more than cotton, linen, silk, silk and satin. There are no shops that are too cheap, and if you remove the unsightly colors, according to Zhao Bijia's point of view, there are only a few that can be given. .

"This?" Zhao Bijia pointed to the gauze that was placed on the high platform, covered with silk cloth, and only one corner was exposed.

Before Bai Qingluo could express anything, the shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, "This little brother has really good eyesight. This is a yarn made of silk spun by silkworms, and it is the most transparent." She opened the silk cloth slightly, and said: "This silk is different from ordinary mulberry silk, it is a faint grass green, and look here."

She took another piece of crystal and shone it on, "Look at the glow, under the sun there are colorful glows, gorgeous and dazzling. Although this yarn has another name called pearl yarn, in my opinion, it is pearl-like luster or I feel sorry for this yarn."

"That's it." Zhao Bijia smiled and said, "You made a blouse and put it on the skirt in summer, it looks good. So I—" Zhao Bijia paused, "My sister has such a skirt."

Bai Qingluo nodded her head vigorously, her eyes were slightly moistened by the gauze, "Thank you Brother Zhao."

Although she was called brother, Zhao Bijia felt more satisfied than calling her elder sister. After all, her serious younger sister was not so soft when called elder sister.

After Zhao Bijia finished delivering the things, seeing that all of Little Lolita's mind was attracted by the gorgeous yarn, she carefully looked back at Zhan Zhao and breathed a sigh of relief.

The two groups left, Bai Qingluo tightly hugged the yarn in her arms, and said with all her strength, "Make skirts for next summer!"

Sister Bai patted her head and said nothing.

Zhao Bijia stayed for another day, then went out for reasons such as going out for a stroll, looking around at the farm shops, etc., and went straight to the colorful mountain.

The colorful mountain is about a hundred miles away from Zhao Bijia's villa, although it is not too far, but in order to deceive people, they replaced the local horses and carriages, and the speed was much slower.

But when getting into the carriage, something was wrong again.

Needless to say, the princess must be sitting in the carriage honestly.

As for the driver...Yang and An are definitely worried about Liu Zhanzhao staying with the princess in the car, so they decided to act first, "I don't know how to drive."

Zhao Bijia looked at him with a bit of surprise. After the oolong incident where she was kidnapped last time, Yang He'an went to the imperial physician to study all the Mongolian sweat medicines on the market. In addition, he learned to drive a carriage. It can be said that his current methods can Driving a four-horse cart is also an old-fashioned way.

Zhan Zhao's smile seemed to see through everything, he stepped forward and patted Yang and An's shoulders, jumped up and sat on the shaft of the car, and said, "Brother Yang, you... are not a qualified manager."

These words pierced Yang He'an's heart. Although his face didn't change, his eyes were rounded, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were even clenched into fists.

But... he still chose the former to follow Fang Zhanzhao into the carriage out of a moment of anger, "Trouble Zhan's guard."

Zhao Bijia thought it was a bit funny, and waited until Yang and An got into the car and whispered: "It's more than 100 miles away, you two come in rotation?"

Yang and An nodded.

This road is very lively.

The tea delivered to Zhan Zhao was handed over by Yang Hean, and when Yang Hean went to catch the car, the tea delivered to him was also handed over by Zhan Zhao.

Probably showing Zhao Bijia what retaliation is?In short, Zhao Bijia looked at Yang and An's lips that were getting tighter and tighter, and Zhan Zhao's very calm expression with a faint smile, and thought that Director Yang was still a little tender.

By the time they arrived at the foot of the colorful mountain, it was already Shen Shi. They found the largest inn in the town to rest. After washing up a bit, Zhao Bijia said, "Go to the medicine store first? Then go to eat."

Neither of them had any objections.

Coming to buy medicinal materials is actually a purpose.

After all, something like Dadi Zhenye, which only appeared in ancient books, sounds too unreal. No matter whether it is the Bai imperial doctor from Miaojiang, or the Lingyun Taoist priest who can exorcise Gu, they are not sure that they will find such a thing. .

The next best thing is the medicinal materials that grow near the colorful mountain.

Taoist Lingyun's exorcism method is too harmful to the body, even if he can survive, he will have to rest for a long time, so if he can't find the true leaves of the earth, the herbs that can save Ouyang Chun's life are the herbs that grow nearby.

Sometimes such authentic medicinal materials are even more suitable than the medicinal power of paying tribute to the palace.

In addition to herbs like Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Danggui that everyone knows are used to nourish blood, there are also precious herbs like Saussurea chinensis, but there is also a herb that both Imperial Physician Bai and Taoist Lingyun name.

Only near Dali, the Shanzi mushroom, which grows on high mountains, is said to be effective in eliminating scrofula and carbuncles, but according to two professionals, this thing can also expel Gu, but the measurement is difficult to master , after all, things that can kill Gu worms are not small in themselves.

Zhao Bijia still remembered that Doctor Bai showed them medical books that day, mainly to see what the Shanzi mushroom looked like, but Zhao Bijia's thoughts were all on the words "scrofula and carbuncle".

Theoretically, she has been carefully taught since she was a child. It is hard to say that she is a literary hero, but the four words of knowledge and reason can still be applied to her. Words, she doesn't know any of them!

No... Zhao Bijia rolled her eyes when no one was paying attention, and the word "swollen" is still recognizable, but it's hard to find it among such a group of brothers and sisters.

Thinking back on the medical books that made people suspect that he was illiterate, Zhao Bijia signaled Yang and An to take out the list and handed it to the medicine boy in the medicine shop.

Of course, Zhao Bijia was still a little vigilant, and did not purchase according to the list of medicinal materials prescribed by Doctor Bai that day. After all, as long as the list was taken out and looked at, it would be known that it was to get rid of Gu insects, and to recuperate afterwards.

Therefore, Zhao Bijia handed over commonly used medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum and Angelica to the servants of the Biezhuang to purchase. What they were looking for was the real leaf of the earth and the next best mountain arrow mushroom.

The drug boy looked at their list and said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, it just happened to be sold out."

Zhao Bijia and others also did their homework before they came, Zhan Zhao said: "Isn't this season just the harvest season, how could there be none?"

The drug boy frowned, "It's a bit strange to say, although the demand for this medicinal material is not large, but there will be no one to send it."

"What about last year's? Is there still stock?" Although last year's medicinal materials are definitely not as powerful as this year's, it is always better to receive a little bit than nothing.

"Not from last year," Yaotong said, "This herb loses its potency after a year, leaving only poison."

Several people looked at each other, and Zhan Zhao looked at the colorful mountain not far away.

Yaotong said: "The medicinal materials in our medicinal material store are basically collected from several villages on the mountain, but this medicinal material grows on the high mountain, so you probably won't be able to find it by yourself."

Zhao Bijia nodded. Although she had read medical books, the Sanzi mushrooms painted on them were very abstract. In her opinion, they were no different from the peonies and peonies in the imperial garden.

"Brother, please keep an eye on it for us." Zhao Bijia took a piece of silver and handed it to the medicine boy. "My family has a nodule in the abdomen. The doctor said that with this medicine, it might be cured."

The drug boy accepted the money, "Don't worry, if you have this medicinal material, I will keep it for you."

Several people came out of the herbal medicine shop, their expressions were a little dignified, Zhao Bijia suddenly smiled after walking two steps, and said: "This is a reason to go up the mountain." She thought about what Yaotong said just now, and said: "Doctor Bai I also said that this thing grows on a high mountain, why don't we go to the village on the mountainside to have a look?"

"How many masters want Shanzi mushrooms?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Zhao Bijia turned her head suddenly. Zhan Zhao, Yang and An were already on guard very quickly, making gestures and ready to strike at any time.

The person who came was a young man in his twenties. He was obviously dressed in the local style. He looked ordinary and could not tell anything.

Maybe he realized that this person has no martial arts skills at all, so Zhan Zhao and Yang He An withdrew their arrogance, Yang He An said coldly, "It's not fair to listen to people talking behind your back."

The man was taken aback just now, he hurriedly imitated the etiquette of the Han people and cupped his hands: "I heard some masters in the drugstore wanted Shanzi mushrooms, but I have some here."

"Oh?" Even if Zhao Bijia had never been in the rivers and lakes before, at this moment, she felt a little vigilant, and this came to her door...

Zhao Bijia looked at this man carefully, he was a little hunched, but the clothes were neatly dressed, but it looked a bit yellowish and white from washing too many times, there was a little mud on the hem of the shoes, and the trousers were not very clean, it must be dirty in the town Not on the dirt, unless... it came down from the mountains?

"Why don't you hand it over to that pharmacy? Don't they also collect medicinal materials?" Zhao Bijia asked cautiously.

The person who came shook his head, "The price of the medicinal materials they charge here is too low, I am in a hurry to spend money."

This reason... Zhan Zhao and Yang He An looked at each other and nodded, no matter the few of them, the Five Rats with a good background, and Ouyang Chun who is known as the Northern Hero, all of them have some family background, so for them It is said that the problems that can be solved with money cannot be simpler.

"How much silver do you want?"

"100 taels!"

This price was obviously much higher than the market price. Zhao Bijia glanced at Zhan Zhao, and saw the same meaning in his eyes: true leaves of the earth.

After such a short delay, the visitor became anxious and said: "Don't think I want too much, I can take you up the mountain to see and pick the best medicinal materials for you."

Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up obviously, and he turned to face the man calmly, "Let's talk slowly, haven't you asked your name yet?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "My surname is Dao, you can call me Dao San."

Sounds like a pseudonym.

"You can see that it's about time, how about we have dinner together?" Zhan Zhao originally had a righteous face, coupled with a gentle expression, it is more trustworthy, it really caters to men, women and children Rhythm.

Dao San looked at the sky, shook his head and said: "I live on the mountain, I'm afraid the mountain road will be difficult to walk any later, which inn do you live in, I will come to you tomorrow morning."

Zhan Zhao said: "Yuelai Inn, Room No. [-] Tianzi."

Yuelai Inn is the best inn in the town. Room No. [-] in Tianzi is the best room even if you are illiterate. Dao San smiled and was a little surprised. He looked at the three of them carefully, "I will have a room in Tianzi tomorrow." I will go down the mountain at dawn, and I will arrive in time."

When several people separated, not only Dao San was surprised, but also Zhao Bijia and others were also very surprised.

I thought I couldn't buy Sanji mushrooms anymore, but I didn't expect that now the turn of events, not only the news of Shanzi mushrooms, but also the colorful mountain, which is still located in the village on the mountainside.

But... Zhan Zhao frowned, "It's very strange that the medicinal materials that I had every year suddenly disappeared, and... what does this person want so much money for?"

Zhao Bijia also said: "If he came to sell medicinal materials, why didn't he bring some out, it would be like a white wolf with empty gloves."

"I'm practicing with Guard Zhan, who can catch us?" Yang He'an said proudly, and added: "But since there are so many doubts, we'd better be cautious."

Several people had a meal of local delicacies before returning to the inn.

Tianzi No. [-] room is a suite, needless to say, the princess must be living in it.

Just after returning from dinner, Zhao Bijia saw Yang and An come in first, checked the doors, windows, beds, tables, chairs, benches, wardrobe shelves, etc., as long as there were things in the house, and said with a little self-blame, " The princess has been wronged."

When Yang and An finished checking and went to the small kitchen to order water to be boiled for washing, Zhan Zhao came in again.

This... Zhao Bijia blushed.

Among other things, the first thing he did when he came in was to pinch the two layers of mattresses on the bed, a quilt, and two pillows inch by inch. In southern Xinjiang, it's late autumn again, there are a lot of mosquitoes, rats and ants, Brother Yang doesn't come out often, I'll show you a good look."

Zhao Bijia looked at his slender but well-articulated fingers, especially the light red but shiny nails, the full and delicate finger pads, and the fast movements without seeming flustered... His heartbeat was a little bit Hurry up.

Zhan Zhao checked everything on the bed, tidied it up for her, pulled the quilt away and patted it, even turned a small corner to make it easier for her to get on the bed, and said, "No problem."

Zhao Bijia looked at the quilt that Zhan Zhao had touched, and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and wondered how to sleep at night.

It's just...Zhao Bijia lowered her head silently. Did he flirt on purpose, or did he intend to flirt!

"There are Lao Zhan's guards." Zhao Bijia didn't realize that she was actually playing a tricky tone, "Physician Bai gave Gu worms, so there must be no things that don't have long eyes, but Zhan's guards... have no body protection. Just be careful."

Zhan Zhao smiled, "With the princess in mind, Zhan will be safe and sound."

Pooh!Do you dare to say it in front of Yang and An?

Zhao Bijia raised his head and stared at him, stepped forward to stroke the dust on his shoulders that did not exist, felt his strong and powerful arms by the way, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a fake smile: "The princess has always remembered And you."

Now that they were able to touch Zhan Zhao's shoulder, the two of them were naturally very close. Zhao Bijia gritted her teeth to suppress the throbbing in her heart, and deliberately stood there for a while, then raised her head and looked at him with innocent eyes full of longing and sustenance. Zhan Zhao's voice was so small that it was almost out of breath, "Why are your ears red?"

In an instant, all the muscles in Zhan Zhao's body tensed up, Zhao Bijia naturally saw it, and laughed loudly, "I lied to you."

After speaking, he walked out of the room in two steps and said, "I'll go see why Yang and An haven't come back yet."

Zhan Zhao reached out and touched his earlobe, only to feel that the tentacles were scorching hot, and when he put his hand down again, his earlobe was already red.

When Yang and An came in with two waiters carrying hot water, what they saw was Zhao Bijia sitting outside drinking tea, and Zhan Zhao standing inside, not knowing what to do.

After Xiaoer put down the water and left, Yang and An said coldly, "What are you doing in the room? What are you doing in the princess house?"

Zhan Zhao walked out of the room without looking sideways, and said righteously: "I'll check again, look at the windows and so on, the princess is away, there are only two of us around, so be careful in everything."

These words are very suitable for Yang and An's appetite, but he is unwilling to lose the wind in front of Zhan Zhao, so he still keeps a straight face, "Guard Zhan can see what?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "It's very safe, no one can climb in through the window at this distance."

Only then did Yang and An nod their heads, and Zhan Zhao said, "I'll go out and have a look." He left without waiting for Yang and An to speak.

Yang and An still had to wait for the princess to wash up, so naturally they had no time to supervise Zhan Zhao, but the hot water entered the basin, and when he was still testing the temperature of the water, he suddenly frowned.

Why do you think he blushed just now?

He recalled the scene when he came in just now, the princess was sitting in the living room drinking tea, the expression on her face...was a bit like she was triumphant after getting something good, and the guard...however you looked at it, she was a little pretending to be calm Feel……

I always feel something is not right.

Yang He'an shook his head and said, "I'm going to climb a mountain tomorrow, so I'll make the princess's insoles thicker."

At night, Zhao Bijia suffered from insomnia as expected.

To be honest, the quilt covered her body like a fire, and she was almost sweating from the heat.

But... She still remembered that when Zhan Zhao said that he had excellent hearing when he was at the post station, he could even hear clearly whether the people in the kitchen had come out or not.

At that time, the kitchen was about ten feet away from her small courtyard.

But now, Zhan Zhao is only ten feet away from her bed... although there is a wall in between.Zhao Bijia always felt that no matter if he turned over, stretched his arms or legs, he could hear everything clearly.

Zhao Bijia only felt that the hand that was released was numb for a while, as if being touched by some slender fingers, she put it back silently.

It's getting hotter...
