Chapter 731 Inconvenience in Traveling
In this way, Liu Ji and Lu Xiaofeng, the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, started the painful and happy daily life of "tour guides".
At first, both Liu Ji and Lu Xiaofeng felt that leading King Chan and the princess on a trip to the capital was a chore.
After all, King Chan and Princess Beiman are people who cannot be offended and must be carefully served. If a small matter is not handled properly, at worst, it is their reception that makes things difficult.
To put it more seriously, it means that Sheng Guo neglected his envoys and spread the word. The surrounding countries still don't know how to scold Sheng Guo for not having the magnanimity of a great country.
By the way, you have to avoid Princess Huhe Tixiang's little eyes that are stunning from time to time. Whoever serves you knows how it feels.
This was especially difficult for Liu Ji, who always acted in a flamboyant manner and wished he could fly his peacock tail every day.
He must remember that he is a married man and always be careful not to be too unrestrained in his words and deeds, lest his charm spread wildly and trigger a murder.
but!
Waiting and waiting, I suddenly discovered that eating, drinking, and having fun all cost nothing.
There is a fine collection of fine wines on the first floor of the capital. You can get as much as you want. If you don't drink enough, you can still walk away.
Eat as many of Chef No. 1’s specialty dishes as you want until you feel like vomiting.
There are also those art studios, teahouses, treasure pavilions, etc., where the goods are as high-end as you want. You don’t have to wait in line for a year and a half. You can ask the master to paint or print for you on the spot, and the things you get are still warm when you keep them. .
King Chan and the princess picked these good things first, and then rewarded the rest to their 'reception envoys'.
Liu Ji shook his bulging money bag, and suddenly felt that the dozens of taels of private property confiscated by his wife were nothing.
That's not all. Wherever they went, everyone was happy and received them carefully with the best reception etiquette, without daring to neglect them at all.
Liu Ji, a small official, had been called "Master Liu" several times, which made him feel happy and scared. He was afraid that he would overstep his bounds, so he had to explain himself and said that he didn't dare to do it. Just call him by his name.
As a result, as soon as the explanation was finished, everyone said, "I know, I know, I understand."
Turning around, those smart businessmen took advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders in private and called him Mr. Liu. It was really embarrassing~
There were also the female soldiers who were patrolling the streets. They changed their bad habit of teasing beautiful men in the street and greeted them politely.
If you need someone to run errands during the trip, these female soldiers will respond as soon as you wave, and they will be so busy that Liu Ji and others are flattered.
Because he was either at home or going to the Imperial Preceptor's Office to take care of his teacher all day long, Liu Ji had little opportunity to wander around the streets of Kyoto, so he had never been 'entertained' by a female soldier, and he didn't feel very good about it.
I simply feel that as soon as I wave, there are officers and soldiers responding, and they are all women, which is very majestic.
But Lu Xiaofeng is different. He is a man who has been verbally molested by these women three times!
Although he had never suffered any loss, it was still very embarrassing for him to be besieged by a group of women in the street for a tall and dignified man.
His uncle Jing Zhaoyin once locked him out of the government office in disgust, causing him to be severely laughed at by the women patrolling the streets.
Now that the situation has changed, Lu Xiaofeng feels that her waist has straightened up, and she is arrogant and has paid back all the grievances she suffered in the past.
But looking at those female soldiers who were trying to endure and hiding murderous intent in their eyes, Liu Ji tugged on his good brother's sleeves and whispered:
"Feng'er, it's almost done. Now, son, we are very happy to rely on the power of King Chan and Princess. But without King Chan and Princess, these women's soldiers have been in Kyoto. By then... tsk tsk tsk, eldest brother Even if I ask your sister-in-law, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to save your life!”
Lu Xiaofeng's heart trembled at what he said. She held her face tightly and swallowed secretly.
Turning around, with a faint wave of his hand, he dismissed the female soldiers who were helping to carry a pile of gift boxes.
There were only four manpower. Without the help of the female soldiers, the gift boxes in Liu Ji's hands instantly stacked up higher than his head, and the road could no longer be seen.
Liu Ji glanced sideways at Lu Xiaofeng, who was as embarrassed as himself, and laughed in anger.
"I told you to get over it, but I didn't ask you to remove them now!" Liu Ji gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice.
Lu Xiaofeng was startled, yes, he could wait until he returned to the other courtyard and ask the female soldiers to put down their things before leaving.
Anyway, I have already offended someone, so it won’t be too late.
Facing the resentful looks cast by Liu Ji and the others, Lu Xiaofeng lowered her head in shame.
Fortunately, King Chan and Princess Beiman brought a few guards over.
Huhe Tixiang saw the fine sweat on Liu Ji's forehead condensed into a bead of sweat on his temples, rolling down his smooth cheeks, and sinking into his open collar. His face felt hot, and he showed mercy and signaled The guards came forward to help share the burden.
Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed and quickly divided half of it and went out. Her hands felt instantly relaxed and her sight became wider again.
He approached Liu Ji and said jokingly: "Brother, your face is the best. The princess just looked at you and was crazy about you again."
The words stopped abruptly because his eldest brother's eyes were destructive.
Seeing Lu Xiaofeng honestly shut her mouth, Liu Jicai, who was already sweating profusely, dared to relax a little.
Fortunately, the lady is not around. Otherwise, if she hears him and the word princess appear in the same sentence, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for him.
Alas, my wife loves me so much, what should I do? Liu Ji thought helplessly in his heart
After three consecutive days of shopping, I have already visited everything in Kyoto City today.
The other two receptionists were happily introducing the beautiful scenery outside the city to King Chan and Princess.
King Chan and the princess were very moved after hearing this, and decided to head to the suburbs of the city tomorrow.
"Liu Ji, what do you think?" King Chan turned around and asked Liu Ji specifically.
Liu Ji hurriedly took two steps forward and said apologetically: "I have to apologize to the prince first. The teacher is still at the Imperial Preceptor's house. He needs to be taken care of by his side every morning and evening. If he goes out of the city, I'm afraid he will be taken care of by his side." The teacher delayed the trip of the prince and princess."
"I don't want to ruin the interest of the prince and princess, so I won't go. I will stay in the other courtyard to prepare dinner and wait for the prince and princess to come back."
King Chan sighed regretfully, "That's it. Naturally, Mr. will be the main one, but..."
He changed the topic and asked enthusiastically: "You said before that Mr. is in good health now, why not?"
Before King Chan finished speaking, Liu Ji seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and shook his head first:
"The teacher suddenly fell ill last night and it is difficult to travel."
King Chan's smile froze and he took a deep look at him. All he could see was the full back of his head.
Liu Ji bent over, looking very apologetic, but did not raise his head to look at him.
As expected of Gong Liangliao's disciple, he didn't even give him the respect of the prince. The king of interpretation is the yin and yang in the heart.
The smile on his face rose again, and he didn't mention Gong Liangliao again. He slightly raised his chin to everyone and returned to the other courtyard.
