April in the south is full of vitality, the stream is murmuring, there is no majestic momentum of the flow of the Yanjiang River, but there is a different mood, that is, the beauty of the south, the small spring dingdong, flowing happily, the green grass on the side of the stream, the breath of spring is strong.

"Uncle Nangong, where are we going to Nanguo? Why haven't we arrived after we have been gone for almost a month?" A handsome-looking young man in dark men's clothes squatted by the stream, washing his face with water and asking the middle-aged man beside him.

"It's probably going to be two or three days away! We're going to Nanxi City, the capital of the Southern Qin Kingdom, it's been a hard time for the princess, please bear with me a little longer!" The middle-aged man was wearing gray ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and he looked like a cropper.

They are the princess Feifu and the general Nangong who are now missing in the northern country. Now the northern kingdom is already under the rule of King Qi Yi, it is neither good nor bad, there are still some forces in the north that oppose Qi Yi's rule, there are people who disturb the order in the country and fight against the court forces, there are not many people in the court who care about the disappearance of the princess and the general, mainly because the sons of the king of the north are still in the palace, Qi Yi has no worries, the princess is a daughter, Qi Yi will not spend energy to care. Qi Yi has just taken over the northern country, and there are still many measures and reforms implemented in the country, which can be said to be very busy at this time.

"Uncle Nangong, don't call me a princess in the future, the northern kingdom has changed hands, the father and mother are no longer there, my princess is destined to not go back, and you are protecting me all the way, I thank you too late, how can I still let you call me a princess, you call me Su'er just like my father and mother, so that I will not show flaws, and Su'er will feel more at ease." Wen Su's face was sincere, in this month's rush, she relied on Nangong Honglie's preservation to reach Nanqin, and her heart was full of gratitude to this person like her father.

"Princess, don't say that, these are all the ministers' own willingness, and the ministers will call you over the line in the future. Although Nangong Honglie was born as a military general, he was thoughtful, took care of the princess thoughtfully along the way, and hoped to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but the country has changed hands, he can't live up to the trust of the first king, and he must send the first king's favorite daughter to a safe place, so that he can go away with his family with peace of mind. Count the time, and in less than two days you should be in Nancy!

"Su'er, pack up, we're on our way. Nangong Honglie saw Wen Su coming back by the stream, and felt distressed for a while, so he couldn't help but call.

Since leaving the northern country, this girl has been well-behaved and sensible, for fear of causing trouble to others, and no matter how hard and tired she has endured it silently along the way, but every time she rests, she starts to stay in a daze, and her face is depressed. The successive deaths of the first king and queen hit this girl too hard, and she lost her dearest person overnight, how could she be relieved. Every time in the dead of night, the longing is getting thicker and stronger, and the loneliness is getting more and more, and she is left alone in this world, and the future is slim.

"Okay, Uncle Nangong, I'll be here right away. Wen Su cleaned up her sadness and looked at Nangong Honglie with a smile, she couldn't make trouble for Uncle Nangong anymore, she had to be happy, so as not to worry Uncle Nangong.

The two came to the outside of Nancy City in less than two days, the city gate of Nancy City is full of people, it can be seen that its prosperity and wealth, the climate in the south is warm, and the people in the past are wearing light clothes, unlike in the north, when the ice and snow melt, the cold swish, and you have to wear a thick fox fur.

"Su'er, let's rest first when we enter the city, and then go to your aunt, okay?" Nangong Honglie looked at the city gate and asked the young man next to him with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Nangong. Uncle, my father asked you to take me to my aunt, but I haven't seen my aunt since I was born, can my aunt recognize me?" Wen Su asked worriedly.

Her heart is terrified, she doesn't know anything about this aunt she has never met, but occasionally heard her mother mention it, it is said that the aunt met her uncle when she went south to play, and she has been settling in the south with her husband's family, and she has little time to return to the north, so she has not seen this aunt since Wen Su was born. I remember that two years ago, my aunt also sent a letter to the queen mother, saying that she wanted the queen mother to go to the south to play, but ・・・・・

"Su'er, don't worry, you look very similar to the queen, your aunt must be able to recognize you at a glance, the first king originally ordered the old minister to send you and the queen to join your aunt, but the queen..." Nangong Honglie was afraid of arousing Wen Su's sadness again, so he stopped talking. The two walked into the city together, and the streets of the city were crowded with people, shouting and selling, and the girls on the street were all dressed brightly, shuttling in front of various stalls selling rouge gouache, picking and choosing what they liked.

The two found an inconspicuous inn and stayed, Xiao Er led them upstairs, there were more than a dozen rooms lined up upstairs, and Xiao Er led them to stop in front of the innermost two wings.

"Guest officer, your rooms are these two, if you need anything, just give an order, and the little one will come immediately. Xiao Er opened the door and said to Nangong Honglie.

"Then please get us some hot water to the room, and we'll wash up and rest." Nangong Honglie instructed Xiao Er to prepare hot water.

Seeing that Xiao Er went downstairs, he said to Wen Xu: "Su'er, since you have arrived, just freshen up and rest, don't be in a hurry to find your aunt, and wait until you have rested and raised your spirit before you can go to see your aunt." ”

"Uncle Nangong, you must have been very tired along the way, Su'er is not in a hurry, you can rest and rest here with confidence, don't worry about Su'er. "Wen Fu is considerate and authentic.

The two of them each entered their own rooms, Wen Su closed the door tightly, looked around the spacious guest room, a sense of loneliness welled up in his heart, remembering everything that had happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but cry, from now on, he was really alone, and when he found his aunt, Uncle Nangong, who had been with him, was about to leave, and then he really had no support, and he didn't know if his aunt would accept him, the queen mother was no longer there, and I don't know if my aunt would be sad when she heard the news.

Knock, knock, knock, a knock on the door pulled Wen Su back from deep thought, "Childe, the little one is here to bring you hot water." Xiao Er's voice sounded outside the door, and Wen Xu hurriedly pulled his sleeve to wipe his face before getting up and opening the door.

Xiao Er led a guy in the room, carrying a wooden bucket and a kettle into the door, the two poured hot water into the large bath bucket in the house, Xiao Er walked to Wen Su and said: "Childe, the water is poured into the bucket for you, you test the water temperature, the kettle next to it is hot water, you can add it at any time, if you have something to tell the small one, the small one will go down first." Xiao Er said and walked out of the room with his buddy.

After Xiao Er left, Wen Xu closed the door, took off his dirty clothes, stepped into the steaming bathtub, immersed his whole body in the hot water, and felt relaxed all over his body.

At noon on the second day, Xiao Er came up and knocked on the door, knocking and knocking, "Childe, Childe, the guest officer with you called you to eat!"

"Little Er, please go and say something, I'll come down immediately. Wen Xu said and hurriedly got up and took out a clean cyan men's dress from the baggage and put it on, and after quickly freshening up, he went downstairs, and saw that Nangong Honglie seemed to have been sitting in the lobby of the inn for a while, full of guilt.

"Uncle Nangong has been waiting for a long time, Xu'er has overslept. ”

"It's okay, I just came down, it's good that Su'er is resting, I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I called Xiao Er to come up and call you down to eat, come and sit down to eat, the dishes are ordered, it's all your favorite food, after eating, we'll go to your aunt's house." Nangong Honglie smiled with pity on her face, this girl has been running around for several days, and she is tired, but she just hopes that she can live comfortably and settle down when she arrives at her aunt's house.

"Uncle Nangong, thank you, for your hard work. Wen Su sat at the dining table, looked at Nangong Honglie's wrinkled face, and said sincerely.

"Xu'er, what I did for you, my uncle said that it was voluntary, so you don't have to be so concerned, but when you get to your aunt's house, your uncle will leave, and you have to take care of yourself in the future. Wen Xu heard Nangong Honglie say this, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he nodded obediently, picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and ate silently.

After eating, the two rented a carriage and headed for the south of the city. Nanxi City is the capital of Southern Qin, the east of the city is the imperial palace of Southern Qin, and the south, north and west of the city are the places where the ministers and people of Southern Qin live.

Xiping, the secretary of the military department, is now forty years old, the hereditary father's title, and Yan Mei has a son and a daughter, the son is now the Hanlin imperial history of Southern Qin, has a family, has his own mansion in the west of the city, and the daughter is seventeen years old, which is the age to be married. The carriage stopped in front of a gate with a few large characters on it.

"It's here. The coachman shouted, lifted the curtain, and let the passengers out. Wen Su hugged Nangong Honglie, slowly got out of the carriage, paid the coachman's silver, and walked towards the gate.

Nangong Honglie held the copper ring on the door and knocked, knocking and knocking, one by one, it seemed to knock on Wen Su's heart, and her heart trembled.

After a while, the door opened, and it was a man about thirty years old, dressed in slave clothes, "Who are you, and who are you looking for here?"

"Trouble the little brother to go in and report it, saying that Mrs. Shangshu's maiden sister is looking for her, and Mrs. will understand. Nangong Honglie said to the man.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report. After the man finished speaking, he instructed the other man standing in the door to watch the door and walk briskly inside.
