get married first, fall in love later

It was already high in the sun, but the east courtyard of Qian's mansion was still quiet.

Mo Xue waited at the door early according to the usual time, just waiting left and right, seeing that it was time for lunch, but there was still no movement in the room of the young master and young mistress.

"How could it be? Yesterday I rested as soon as it got dark, how could I not wake up at this time?" Mo Xue muttered a little puzzled, but then she seemed to think of something suddenly and didn't care. What kind of etiquette is inferior, he stepped forward and pushed open the door in front of him with a "bang".

After entering the room, he walked to the bed in two or three steps, and leaned forward to take a look. Sure enough, the quilt on the huge carved wooden bed had been neatly folded and placed at the end of the bed by the young grandmother using the usual method. The bed sheet was stretched neatly. It looked as if no one had ever slept at all, and there were no figures of those two!

Mo Xue shook her head helplessly: every time she goes out and doesn't want to take her with her, she sneaks up on her, but now that she's married, she still doesn't change her mind.It's just that she was a little puzzled in her heart. Judging from the past situation, the young master must have some special things to do every time he doesn't take her with him. I heard from Ah Si that the fewer people there are, the better at this time, and because it needs to stay overnight Hurrying or occasionally sleeping in the woods seemed a bit difficult, Qian Xiaobao didn't want her to suffer together, so he resolutely refused to take her there.Then why did you bring the young mistress with you?The young mistress doesn't look like she can endure hardships, at least she can't compare with her maid, right?

At this time, two horses galloped past on the official road outside Yongshan County.What surprised people was that only one of the two steeds had a person sitting on it, and the reins of the horse were being tightly held by a girl in a yellow dress and a white skirt.There was an unspeakable excitement on the face of the pretty girl, but her body was slightly tense as if she was a little scared. The boy sitting behind her had his legs tightly clamped on the horse's belly, and his right hand was casually grasping the end of the rein. , his left hand seemed to be unintentionally hanging by his side, half supporting the slender waist of the person in front of him, with a faint helplessness on his face.

But the back of the other horse was empty.

In a blink of an eye, the two people and two horses came to a fork, and the girl on the horse suddenly said loudly: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, stop!"

That's right, the two driving on the official road were Qian Xiaobao and Ouyang Xi who had just "disappeared" from the Qian Mansion.

Hearing Ouyang Xi's bluffing, Qian Xiaobao frowned in dissatisfaction, but obediently tightened the rein in his hand, and when the horse stopped slowly, he asked: "What's the matter?" ?”

I didn't know which tendon was wrong, so I agreed to go out with this troublesome spirit.In order to avoid Mo Xue, they seldom got up before dawn, but it took almost half an hour just waiting for Ouyang Xi to get on the horse outside the gate of the house, and in the end they half-carried and half-supported her, and then got her out of bed. up.It was so easy to get on the horse, but this person didn’t know whether it was because he was afraid or he was not used to it. One, he didn’t dare to clamp the horse’s belly, and the other didn’t dare to drink the horse and walk away. It wasn't until daylight that he walked slowly to the gate of the city.

In order to rush to the planned town before dark and avoid sleeping outside, she had no choice but to pull someone over and put him in front of her to share a ride.Even so, it seemed that half a day had passed, and they had only just left the county town for less than ten miles.

Qian Xiaobao murmured helplessly in his heart: If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have brought her out together. It's hard to say whether he can have a bed to sleep tonight, alas!

Ouyang Xi didn't know the entanglement and helplessness in Qian Xiaobao's heart at all. When the horse stood still, he freed one hand from holding the rein, pointed to the slightly smaller road in front of him and asked: "Where does this path lead to?"

Did you ask her to stop specifically to ask such a painless question?Qian Xiaobao rolled his eyes in his heart speechlessly, and replied patiently: "Same as the official road I took before, it also leads to Jiangzhou Prefecture. Although there are many mountains and forests along the way, this small road is a bit difficult to walk, but it is closer than the official road A lot."

When Ouyang Xi heard that it was a shortcut, her eyes lit up immediately. This ancient horse was very fresh to ride at first, but after riding for a long time, her waist and butt hurt, it was really uncomfortable, and now she wished she could ride it right away. Once you reach your destination, you can find a bed to lie down comfortably and take a rest.Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Qian Xiaobao and said excitedly: "Then let's go this way!"

Feeling the stiffness of her waist in Qian Xiaobao's hand, he naturally knew that the person in front of him was tired from staying here, and desperately hoped to get there earlier so that he could find a place to rest as soon as possible. Therefore, she usually chooses to detour.

Ning Mei pondered for a while, Qian Xiaobao said: "This small road is very remote, I heard that there are often bandits doing mischief, to be on the safe side, let's follow the official road."

Every woman, once she hears that she will be robbed, she will turn pale with fright and avoid it in fear.Qian Xiaobao originally thought that as long as he said that, Ouyang Xi would definitely give up the idea of ​​taking the path, but he never thought that when he said this, Ouyang Xi's eyeballs would jump out of their sockets with excitement: "You said this Will there be robbers on this road?"

"Ah, yes." Qian Xiaobao nodded blankly, not knowing why.

"Oh, it's really fun to meet the robbers. If you go this way, you must go this way." Before Qian Xiaobao could react, she unexpectedly boldly pinched the belly of the horse under her feet, and For the first time, he roared at the top of his voice: "Drive, horse, go, go!"

Qian Xiaobao was dumbfounded again: Is this really a woman she married?Even if you can't be gentle, graceful and generous, you can at least act a little normal, right?What kind of place is that so-called "modern" place that can cultivate such unique and weird people?

But no matter what, seeing Ouyang Xi's persistence, I'm afraid that today's path will be decided.Qian Xiaobao was speechless for a while, but he could only comfort himself: Forget it, arriving earlier will at least ensure that you don't have to sleep outside tonight, which is not a bad thing.Besides, the robbers probably weren't there every day, maybe they were lucky and happened to catch up with them to rest today.

Thinking of this, he put his heart back into his stomach and continued to concentrate on his journey.Ouyang Xi sat on the horseback bored, and leisurely half leaned against the people behind him to enjoy the scenery along the road.Not to mention, the unpolluted environment in ancient times is not a little bit better than the modern one.The mountains are lush and the trees are verdant. When you look around, you can see a vibrant green. When you lower your head and glance at your feet, there are delicate and tender grasses all over the roadside. Various flowers in the grass are gently swaying under the breeze. Each show their posture.Wrinkling his nose and sniffing slightly, even the air carried a faint fragrance of flowers.

Ouyang Xi stretched out her arms comfortably, snorted contentedly, and said, "Oh, it's great that there is no smog. Even breathing feels smoother than before."

Qian Xiaobao asked curiously after hearing the words: "What is the smog?"

"Smog is not a thing, oh, actually it is. Oh, you won't understand anyway."

"You haven't said it yet, how do you know if I understand?"

"I……"

"Or, could it be that you don't even understand it?"

Ouyang Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly: Why don't I understand?Isn't it because of setting off firecrackers, burning straw and so on that the air pollution is so serious that the hateful PM2.5 appears?Just do you know what is air pollution and what is PM2.5?If I explain to you one by one, wouldn't you be exhausted?

Ouyang Xi was concentrating on complaining about Qian Xiaobao, but suddenly felt that the horse under her body slowed down, she turned her head to look at the people behind her suspiciously: "Why don't you leave?"

Qian Xiaobao looked at her speechlessly, raised his chin and signaled her to look forward with his eyes.Ouyang Xi obediently turned her head back and looked in front of her. Twenty or thirty strong men of different heights, fat and thin were standing in the middle of the road, blocking their way.

Monk Ouyang Xi Zhang Er was puzzled, looked back at Qian Xiaobao again and asked, "What are they doing? Line up to welcome us?"

Hearing this, Qian Xiaobao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot: It's been several lifetimes of bad luck for her to have such a stupid daughter-in-law.

"Your dream, robber."

What?Robber?Why doesn't this play out according to the routine?Shouldn't there be a pioneer or something who jumped out and shouted, "I planted this tree, and I opened this road. If you want to live from now on, you can save money to buy roads"!This is quietly, what kind of bandit is robbing.

Wait, something seems wrong.Robbers, according to the TV dramas, usually at this time, pedestrians will be ransacked. If you are unlucky and encounter that lecherous and tyrannical one, all the men will be killed, and all the women will be tied back to be Mrs. Yazhai.Ouyang Xi looked down at her well-developed exquisite figure, and her back began to sweat unconsciously: she seemed to meet the standards of Mrs. Yazhai...

Seeing that Ouyang Xi didn't respond for a long time, Qian Xiaobao thought that his astonishing lady was really fearless, but then he felt a slight tremor in the palm of his hand caressing her waist.I suddenly laughed in my heart: I still know that I am afraid, so I don't look stupid, but this reaction is indeed a bit slow.

As if sensing the thoughts in her heart, Ouyang Xi quickly turned his head to look at Qian Xiaobao and asked in a low voice, "Hey, where are your bodyguards?"

Qian Xiaobao looked at her with a slight smile, and said very calmly: "No need."

"You can beat them?" Ouyang Xi's eyes lit up, he couldn't tell that Qian Xiaobao was still a master of martial arts.

Qian Xiaobao shook his head slightly, and smiled at her again: "I can't beat it."

Ouyang Xi's eyes darkened and he almost fell off the horse: "Then what are you laughing at?!"

Qian Xiaobao still smiled brightly when he heard the words: "It's just robbery. In the final analysis, there are two purposes. If it's robbery, I will obediently give them the money. If it's robbery," she deliberately paused. After a while, he looked at Ouyang Xi maliciously and said, "Is it okay to just give you to them?"
