Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

The carriage clattered along the bluestone paved road.

On both sides of the street, there are rows of shops of all kinds, with a dazzling array of goods. The shop signs are hung high, and when the wind blows, they sway gently, making a rustling sound.

There is a constant stream of pedestrians on the street, some wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, some wearing simple cloth, some chatting or trading, forming a lively and harmonious picture of the market.

Li Jiaojiao lifted the car curtain and carefully savored the first city she saw, a city full of life.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the door of an inn. The inn was simple and solemn, with an eye-catching sign hanging on the door, "Check in before it's too late, and watch the sky at dawn."

Everyone got off the car, Bai Ze went to check in, and the waiter led the carriage to the backyard to set it up.

Only larger inns like this one have horse posts and horse troughs, which is why Bai Ze chose this place as he walked forward.

The road ahead is still long, and they need to find a place where both people and carriages can stop and have a good rest.

Bai Ze arranged a room for Li Jiaojiao and Lu Liang. Li Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment and followed Lu Liang back to the room.

There was no way they could sleep together in Qingshan Village, and as they came out, they should sleep separately.

But think about it, when they were on the road, the two of them rested together in the carriage, and they would still have to spend the rest of the time in the carriage, so they shouldn't be pretentious about staying in an inn occasionally.

So Li Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, and when she saw that Lu Liang had no intention of objecting, she did not say anything.

Anyway, she won't suffer any loss. She's not even fifteen years old and can't do anything.

But she didn't know that her slight hesitation made the person walking next to her look unhappy.

The two of them tidied themselves up a bit and went out together to meet Lu Xiao and others downstairs, preparing to go buy things after lunch.

There was a restaurant next to the inn. It was the peak hour, so everyone found a seat by the side and sat down.

Before we started ordering, Meng Siyuan came over.

The nobleman in luxurious clothes walked through the crowd and ran straight towards them.

Lu Liang had no choice but to stand up to greet him.

The two met in the middle and talked about something. Lu Liang pulled Meng Siyuan out, while Meng Siyuan leaned out half of his body and looked at Li Jiaojiao.

Li Jiaojiao: …………

After lunch, everyone went out shopping. Li Jiaojiao was in a rare mood. She bought some snacks here and made a sugar figure there, just to kill time.

His hands were soon filled with food, and he couldn't help drooling as he looked at the big steamed buns freshly baked on the roadside.

There is space but I can't use it properly. I can obviously keep food fresh but I can't store it. Sigh...

If I had known I would travel through time, I would at least go to a five-star hotel and prepare a table of food for my home.

Because of this distraction, I forgot to look at the road while walking.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of hoofbeats, and a horse not far away was running straight towards her. It was running so fast that an ordinary person could not escape at all.

Amid the exclamations of surprise from all over the street, the man on the horse pulled the reins quickly.

The horse's hoof was raised high when approaching Li Jiaojiao, and then fell to the side.

The Lu family had already rushed to Li Jiaojiao's side after hearing the noise. Chen Ruolan spoke first: "Jiaojiao, are you okay?"

Li Jiaojiao retracted her hand which subconsciously wanted to use her supernatural power to knock over the visitor and his horse.

"nothing."

At the same time, the man on the horse also dismounted and came to Li Jiaojiao. The young man was gentle and handsome, with a graceful demeanor and a clear voice. He asked with concern, "Girl, are you okay?"

The horse beside him had been restrained by a few big men who looked like servants who came from behind.

The man's concern didn't seem fake.

The moment the horse came to her, she knew that it had been frightened and ran away.

Although the person in front of her was not riding a horse in the street, if she had not calmed the horse in time, it would be hard to say where the horse's hoof would have landed.

Most likely it was her brain.

Li Jiaojiao raised her chin slightly and stretched out her hand: "Mental damage compensation."

The person in front of him was wearing plain clothes embroidered with silver patterns, and his temperament was outstanding. He looked at the pure horse next to him without a single stray hair, and the strong servant beside him.

Must be rich!

Xie Xiao was stunned for a moment. The girl in front of him had a pair of sparkling black eyes with a playful cunning. The exquisite curve of her eyes extended from her slightly raised chin all the way down to the depths of her graceful neck.

Even if your arms are full of things, it is difficult to hide the shocking curve.

Xie Xiao suddenly lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl in front of him again.

He probably understood the meaning of mental damages, which should be money. "Miss, to be honest, I'm in a hurry to get out. Could you please go back to my house with me to get it?"

"Xie is currently staying at the county governor's residence. Please rest assured about his safety."

Li Jiaojiao: …………

County Magistrate's Office?

The political center of Xilin County?

It seemed quite ok to go deep inside and visit the county governor's mansion.

Seeing that the person in front of him seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of the problem, Xie Xiao quickly made a gesture, and soon a carriage with the logo of the County Magistrate's Mansion arrived.

Li Jiaojiao no longer hesitated and refused Chen Ruolan's offer to accompany her. She told the Lu family that she would return to the inn and wait for everyone after getting the silver, and then got on the carriage.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

Li Jiaojiao followed Xie Xiao to the garden.

Ever since they entered the County Magistrate's Mansion, the curiosity in the eyes of the girl behind him was almost bursting out. Xie Xiao simply took Li Jiaojiao and visited all the places they could.

The garden in early spring is a vibrant picture.

The sunset glows through the sparse clouds and shines on the garden. The colorful light and the tender green branches and leaves are intertwined to form a harmonious and beautiful picture.

There is an artificial lake in the garden, the water is clear and blue like jade, and there is an exquisite pavilion beside the lake. The pavilion is surrounded by large tracts of peach blossoms. The pavilion is covered with a veil that falls to the ground, so the scenery inside cannot be seen. The lake reflects the sky and the pavilion, as if the whole world is shrunk in this small space.

When the wind blows, ripples appear on the lake water, and the fragrance of peach blossoms and the fresh air of the lake water hit you in the face.

Li Jiaojiao took a deep breath. It was such a great enjoyment. She wanted to buy a house like this in the capital someday. The garden inside would be even more beautiful than this one.

There were footsteps in the distance, and they hurriedly walked up to them and stood still, handing over the banknotes with both hands: "Young Master."

Xie Xiao took it, but before he could give it to Li Jiaojiao, he was interrupted by the movement coming from the pavilion.

A jade fan lifted the layers of veil in the pavilion, revealing two figures inside. The orchids and jade trees were graceful and elegant.

But the look in one of them was so dark that it looked murderous.

Li Jiaojiao: …………

Isn't this a coincidence?
