269, Overnight
Perhaps after last night's accident, Princess Chang'an felt that it was not very safe to set up camp in the wild. So Princess Chang'an did not make any moves to affect the progress. However, because she left late, she arrived in Fang County, the suburbs of Beijing before dark.
The county magistrate of Fang County and the marquis of all officials were at the gate of the city, and he was extremely attentive to welcome the marriage team into the county government. The county government prepared banquets and dances early, with rich wine and dishes, and the dancers were charming. Rouran looked straight and looked straight. The county magistrate knew each other and arranged a singing girl to accompany them.
The wife of the county magistrate, such as the Chang'an princess, also carefully accompanied the county magistrate. After all, small officials like the county magistrate have too few opportunities to see the beauty. Now a princess has finally passed by and has to entertain her well. It will be a great achievement when the term of office expires.
The Princess Chang'an was very tired and was not very interested in the banquet and singing arranged by the county magistrate. The wife of the county magistrate thought that she had done something bad and offended the princess. She became more and more attentive in her fear.
The Chang'an Princess patiently said a few words, and then left the banquet on the excuse of changing clothes. The county magistrate's wife smiled and wanted to serve her in person. Chang'an endured his disgust and said "No need" and left in a hurry!
The county magistrate's wife watched Princess Chang'an leave nervously, and her eyes fell on Miss Xiao San, who was personally designated by Princess Chang'an when she was sitting down. The person who could get the princess to look at her must have said something in front of the princess!
"What do you call Miss?"
Looking at the county magistrate's wife who suddenly walked over with a smile, Miss Xiao San replied politely, "My surname is Xiao, I'm here to go to San at home!"
"So it's Miss Xiao San!"
The county magistrate's wife had already walked to Miss Xiao San, so Miss Xiao San had to move to the side and asked the county magistrate's wife to sit down. The county magistrate's wife sat down without seeing each other.
"Why are there no one around Miss Xiao San?" Looking around, Miss Xiao San was alone.
Miss Xiao San sighed slightly, "I thank my wife for her concern. I originally had a maid, but yesterday she suddenly felt unwell. The princess gave her kindness and allowed her to go back to Beijing to recuperate!"
"Princess is kind!" The county magistrate's wife flattered and suddenly smiled, "The journey here is long, how can Miss Xiao San beside her not serve me? Ruiyu, who is beside me, served me for many years, is very considerate and considerate. If Miss Xiao San doesn't dislike me, I will give her to the lady!"
When Miss Xiao San was stunned, how could she give a maid to someone when she met her first time? And she was a personal servant, not a person who knew the truth. Who could use it with confidence? Even if she was anxious to please the princess, it would not be so pleasing!
"Madam, you are polite! Since Miss Ruiyu has served for many years, she must be very popular with her wife. How can I win over what I love?" Miss Xiao San politely declined.
The county magistrate’s wife wanted to say something else, Miss Xiao San said first, “Besides, the princess has promised me to arrive at the inn and ask me to buy a new maid!”
"So that's it!" After moving out of Princess Chang'an, she finally asked the county magistrate's wife to give up the idea of sending a maid to Miss Xiao San, but the county magistrate's wife was still next to Miss Xiao San, and she didn't move forward. She either asked her about Princess Chang'an or was satisfied with today's banquet. Miss Xiao San was annoyed, but she couldn't turn against her face, so she had to barely deal with it. At this moment, Miss Xiao San finally understood why Princess Chang'an suddenly left the table.
Gao Zhinan watched the excitement for a while and whispered to Xu Shu, "I made such a fuss last night, and Miss Xiao San asked the princess to look at her differently. Today, the princess treats her very differently!"
"The princess is not a stupid person either. I'm afraid she wants to use her as a gun! Otherwise, why would she hold her so deliberately!"
Xu Shu had already seen through Princess Chang'an's plan. Princess Chang'an cannot always come forward to get along with Rouran. First, Mrs. Ding will not let Princess Chang'an be resigned by the Queen Mother. Second, she represents the entire Dayin and should not act too radically. Even if the marriage can be ruined, she should not do it herself. Otherwise, her marriage will not be a good deal! As the master who just killed the noble maid of Rouran, Miss Xiao San is an existence that provokes Rouran's hatred. In order to protect herself, Miss Xiao San has to stand opposite to Rouran. Princess Chang'an can enjoy the benefits of a fisherman.
"It's just to use each other! Rouran people have never been the one who swallowed their anger. Hongmei killed Rouran people. Rouran people were forced to not pursue the matter. Now Hongmei has been sent back to the capital. Rouran people can't do it if they want to take revenge privately. Of course, they can only go to Hongmei's master, Miss Xiao San! Miss Xiao San himself understood this and hurriedly found the princess as a talisman. With the princess protecting her, Rouran people dared not take their ideas to her!"
From time to time, Rouran's unrestrained laughter came from the men's mat next door. Gao Zhinan shook his head in disgust. Even though it was her own choice to go to see her off, she still couldn't bear Rouran's various bad habits. Especially after seeing Rouran's despicableness, she suddenly began to miss the taste of starting a family. For a moment, a faint regret flashed by.
"Sister Zhinan, don't be afraid. With me here, we won't be able to do anything!" Xu Shu held Gao Zhinan's hand.
Miss Xiao San has the support of Princess Chang'an as her backing. Rouran cannot touch her, so she may turn around and look at Xu Shu and Gao Zhinan. However, Xu Shu and Gao Zhinan have nothing to rely on, so she can only be extremely careful.
"Yes! We won't be fine!" Gao Zhinan held Xu Shu's hand hard. Although she was gone, at least she still had a close friend by her side. Even though the road ahead is long and the return date is vast, it is also a blessing to have a close friend accompanying her.
After a long time, Princess Chang'an came back. This time she did not hide the fatigue on her face. Seeing this, the county magistrate's wife did not say much and took the initiative to leave the table. Princess Chang'an felt that the county magistrate's wife had finally become tactful and showed a little praise on her face.
The female relatives scattered and each went back to the house to rest under the guidance of the county servants. The county government was not big, but they were still the same courtyard as yesterday. Xu Shu and Gao Zhinan lived together, but Miss Xiao San no longer lived with Miss Huang. Miss Xiao San lived with Princess Chang'an, and Miss Huang lived alone in the courtyard.
