Chapter 45: A Strange Woman

Until the shopkeeper delivered lunch to the room, Xia Yingjiu hadn't seen Ning Ziyue come back, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Thinking about it, she stopped Xiao Er, who was about to go out.

"Little brother, can you see my girl today?"

The shopkeeper stopped, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Miss is talking about Miss Ziyue, right?" ”

Xia Yingjiu was stunned: "Exactly." ”

At first, Xia Yingjiu thought that there was an endless stream of guests in the inn every day, and there must be a lot of people coming and going, plus they rarely came to the imperial city, I am afraid that the store did not have any impression of them, Xia Yingjiu also thought about how to describe it to Xiao Er.

Who knew that he called out Ning Ziyue's name in one mouth.

But thinking about this girl's out-of-the-box nature, it's not so surprising.

"Miss Ziyue is still there in the morning, and she waited in the hall early in the morning, saying that Miss, you will come back today, and then there were guests in the store, so I went to get busy, and then I didn't see Miss Ziyue." Xiao Er replied.

Xia Yingjiu couldn't help frowning after hearing this, according to Xiao Er's statement, Ning Ziyue should wait for them to come back at the inn, and she definitely won't have returned because of playfulness, not to mention that it is already lunch time.

She came back to her senses and saw that the shopkeeper was still standing in place, so she couldn't help but smile, took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them over: "Thank you, little brother." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and accepted the silver, thanked him, and then turned around and exited the door, but before leaving, as if remembering something, he said again: "If Miss is looking for Miss Ziyue in a hurry, you might as well ask our shopkeeper, he is here all morning." ”

"I'm tired." Xia Yingjiu thanked him.

Although lunch had been delivered to the room, Xia Yingjiu didn't have much of the heart to eat, and Ning Ziyue's matter made her a little uneasy.

Xia Yingjiu thought for a moment, then walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the inn.

At this time, it was the time of the meal, and there were unusually many people, mixed with the shouts of Xiao Er.

Xia Yingjiu walked to the counter, the shopkeeper's surname was sitting in front of the table at this time, fiddling with the abacus from time to time, as if he was settling accounts.

"The shopkeeper." Xia Yingjiu said loudly.

Hearing the voice, the shopkeeper hurriedly told the abacus to put down and stood up: "It's Miss Xia, are you okay for lunch?" If there's anything you can help with, just say it. ”

Xia Yingjiu first blessed his body, and then said: "The shopkeeper is reasonable, but it's not a big deal, it's my girl Ziyue, who originally said that she would wait at the inn today, but I don't know if it's playful, and she hasn't returned yet, did she leave anything for the shopkeeper before she went out?" ”

The shopkeeper first thought about it carefully, and then said: "I didn't leave the words, but early this morning, Miss Ziyue was waiting in the hall, saying that Miss Xia was going to come out of the palace in the morning, and then she didn't sit for a while, and then she suddenly ran out in a hurry. The Purple Moon Girl hasn't come back yet? ”

"yes, I don't know where I went." Xia Yingjiu responded.

"Miss Xia, don't worry, maybe she ran into an acquaintance who forgot the time, maybe Miss Ziyue will come back later." The shopkeeper comforted.

"That's all it can be."

said that, Xia Yingjiu felt a little strange in his heart.

How could Ning Ziyue have someone she knew in the Imperial City, when she was in Zhizhou City, Xia Yingjiu met her on the road, and it happened that she was a girl, so she rescued her.

Xia Yingjiu still remembered that she said that she didn't know anyone, and she once thought that Ning Ziyue was from Wannan, could it be that she met a fellow villager?

After thinking about it for a long time, everything was just Xia Yingjiu's speculation, she had the heart to go out to look for it, but first, although she had been to the imperial city a few times, it was already a very early time, and Xia Yingjiu was naturally not familiar with the imperial city, and second, she didn't even know the direction in which Ning Ziyue went, and looking for it was just looking for a needle in a haystack.

To no avail, Xia Yingjiu had to stay at the inn, thinking about waiting a little longer, and at the same time couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Ning Ziyue wouldn't have been able to run away while they had all entered the palace?

After waiting for a while, Ning Ziyue didn't wait, but waited for the others.

"Miss, but the surname is Xia?"

Xia Yingjiu secretly took a look at the woman in front of her, she was originally in the room, suddenly heard a knock on the door, originally thought that Ning Ziyue was back, but after opening the door, she saw a strange woman.

Roughly seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a peach-colored group, with no other jewelry on his head except for a jasper hairpin, his appearance is also mediocre, if he is in a sea of people, I am afraid it will be difficult to recognize.

Although it looks harmless to humans and animals, Xia Yingjiu has raised his vigilance, he has been harmed a few times before he came, and no matter how big his heart is, it is normal for him to be a little vigilant when he encounters a stranger visiting at first glance.

Second, I don't know if it's an illusion, although the woman in front of her looks really ordinary, but Xia Yingjiu has a faint feeling that her hairs stand on end, and another point is that although this woman is dressed in an ordinary style, Xia Yingjiu can be regarded as having seen a lot of rare objects.

Take the jasper hairpin on her head as an example, the color is delicate and deep, it looks like there is a sense of simplicity, it is absolutely extraordinary, and there is the pattern on the cuffs of this woman, Xia Yingjiu seemed to have seen it in the palace yesterday, but he didn't take a closer look at it at that time, yes, he is not very sure.

"You are?" She hesitated.

As he spoke, he looked out to see if there were any passers-by.

As if seeing her thoughts, the woman smiled: "Miss Xia, don't be nervous, it's actually my master who wants to ask Miss Xia to move." ”

Listening to Xia Yingjiu, it was even more strange, if this woman was just a servant, then the master's identity must not be low, but she didn't remember that she knew such a person, and the only one she knew was only eleven.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, it must not be eleven, where would that person let people know such a gentle style, no matter when, most of them would break in directly.

"Dare to ask who your master is?" Xia Yingjiu asked.

"Miss Xia will know when she sees it."

Although the woman's tone was gentle, there was no hint of rejection in her words.

Xia Yingjiu looked at her like this, and was afraid that it would be impossible not to go, so he nodded: "Let me inform my father, so as not to be anxious if I can't find it later." ”

The woman pondered for a moment before she said: "In this case, please don't reveal this matter to Miss Xia, my master just wants to see Miss Xia this time, and there are some things to say to Miss Xia, I don't want others to know." ”
