March, Jin Ling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In early spring, the buds and grasses are born, and the willows in the streets and alleys have scrambled to pull out new shoots, and the soft branches decorated with small green branches are blowing with the breeze and drizzle, and they can't wait to show people their vitality.

"Dada...... Da Da ......"

A thin and clear sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and pedestrians with oil-paper umbrellas on both sides of the street retreated, as if they were afraid that their new clothes would be splashed with mud. Someone turned around inquiringly, only to see a double-rider pulled purple rafter carriage slowly coming, the decoration of this carriage is not gorgeous, especially in the Jin Tomb, at the foot of this son of heaven, in the imperial capital, in this famous family Zhong Ming Ding food competition place.

But those with vision saw the clue, and it was the red and white horses. Just by discerning the sound of hooves, and then looking at the unique hoof prints left on the ground, I was already convinced that they were definitely two first-class Yue's iron hoof horses. The hoof shape of this horse is two to three times wider than that of the regular horse and is as hard as iron, the sound of the hooves is very clear, and its labor is very amazing, the ordinary horse has to catch up with the journey of three days, this kind of horse can be reached in a day and a half at most, and the regular horse must eat for up to two days, otherwise it is impossible to continue to move forward, but the Yue's iron hoof horse can not eat for four or five days and the physical strength is not reduced, it is the best horse breed in the Central Plains, and it cannot be compared with it, such good horses are even more difficult to buy in the territory of Dachen, and there is no market.

However, such a rare and unsupposedly expensive horse has now appeared two at a time, which shows that the master of this carriage must not be an idle person. What's more, look at the person who drives, his hair is high and hanging, his eyebrows are very handsome, his face is distinct, and he looks like he is only twenty or thirty years old, but no matter how he looks at it, he definitely doesn't look like a housewife and groom.

The window curtain on the side of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and the face of a very delicate but childish young girl was revealed, and the little girl stretched out half of her head and looked around curiously and happily, and said excitedly, "The streets of Jinling are so prosperous, but they are far stronger than our Yingzhou, there are so many people here on rainy days, in Yingzhou, there are no more than this half on such a Tian'er street!" ”

"Jin Ling is the imperial capital of a country, it is the hinterland of Dachen, although Yingzhou is rich, but it cannot be compared with this imperial capital, ordinary people can think of things with their toes, and you are surprised!" The person who said this was a woman in green clothes sitting on the other side of the carriage, her face was somewhat similar to that of the little girl, but it was more feminine, with the unique charm of a southern woman.

This seemed to make the little girl who spoke before not very happy, the little girl threw off the curtain, pouted and glared at the woman in Tsing Yi sitting opposite, "This way, no, it's all the time, saying that I'm not good, that's wrong, what's the matter, you have never said a good word to me, you say you...... Are you really my own sister? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi frowned and held her forehead, as if she was thoughtful, "Is this a problem, it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem like so! ”

The little girl's fingers twisted her goose yellow skirt vigorously, glared at the woman in Tsing Yi, gritted her teeth and said, "Bai Bixi, we're not done!" ”

A chuckle suddenly came from outside the curtain of the carriage, "I said Xiao Biyue, I've heard this all the way no less than five or six times, and the tone is so big, how about you honor one and open our eyes?" ”

The little girl scooped the curtain open and threw a fist at the back of the driver.

The man exclaimed in pain, "Ouch...... Biyue, you don't let people talk to you yet!! ”

"Shut up! Who told you to chime in! ”

"Why did I just interject?"

"Why didn't you interject, as long as I'm talking, you are not allowed to speak! As long as you speak, it's nonsense! ”

“……”

The woman in Tsing Yi straightened her slightly wrinkled sleeves and coughed twice to remind her to stop in moderation.

was reminded by Bixi, the man in white who was driving outside the curtain and the little girl who was unreasonable and arguing in the car all kept their mouths shut and didn't continue to make noise.

At this time, the woman in white, who had been sitting quietly in the middle of the carriage and wearing a moon silver carved mask, opened her eyes, but she could not see her facial expression at all because she was wearing a mask, and her eyes were deep, without sadness or joy. The woman lowered her head and stroked the little white plush guy who was sleeping soundly in her arms, "It's already in the Jin Tomb, is it......" The woman in white said softly, and she didn't know whether to ask or sigh.

"Yes, Lord!" The woman in Tsing Yi leaned slightly sideways and said, "Lord, where are we staying today?" Do you go directly to Jiyue Pavilion first, or find a hotel to stay in first? ”

The woman in white shook her head slightly, "Go to Pingding Street in the north of the city, there should be a Xiangfu Building twenty miles away from the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion." ”

The little girl on the side heard the woman in white say this, and suddenly said in surprise, "Chief, you even know this? I don't know, I thought you were this Jinling, no...... Is that the person from Pingding Street in the north of the city? ”

The woman in white bowed her head, and the corners of her lips hooked a faint smile, but she did not answer. On the other side, the woman in Tsing Yi glanced fiercely at the little girl who said this, "Biyue, what did I tell you before I came to Jinling, don't say a lot, don't ask a lot, and don't act recklessly, have you forgotten?" Do you want me to find someone to send you back to Yingzhou immediately?! ”

Biyue seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she was afraid that her sister would really let her send her back, so she immediately said weakly, "Sister, I already know that I am wrong, I shouldn't talk nonsense, I shouldn't ask nonsense, I won't do it again next time, but I don't want to leave my sister and the leader, sister, ......can you forgive me?"

The woman in white smiled gently, "Bixi, you don't have to be too harsh on her, after all, she is still young!" It's good to take it slowly! ”

Bi Xi stroked her forehead, "Is she still young?" Chief, when you are her age, you can already take on half of the Su Clan's business house alone, so how can you indulge her! ”

"If I could, I also hoped that I could grow up as casually as her, without worries and without scruples, and I had a short period of time like this, but later, it was all different, and even if I thought about it later, I couldn't ......"

Yes, she can't, even if all the women in the world can, she can't, because the path she is about to take is too far away, too difficult, and the future is uncertain......

Bi Xi knew that this was a taboo for the woman in white, and she had been by the side of the woman in white for nearly seven years, and she had never seen anyone talk about her past, because perhaps once it was revealed, it would be bloody...... She knew that she was the righteous daughter adopted by the head of the Su family, and she claimed to be the third daughter who had been in exile for many years, but in fact she was not, because her real surname was Xiao, not Su.

But it is this righteous daughter who has an unusual special status in the Su family, she not only manages the business of dozens of shops across the country with Su Rou, the daughter of the Su family, but also the head of the Su family will discuss with the woman in white on the decision of many major events, and many times her words may affect the development direction of the Su Tea Shop. On this, even Su Rou, the daughter of the Su family, and Su Yan, the second son of the Su family, do not have such a big right to speak.

However, this second son is also a special character, in the Su family, you may be able to see him one day in ten days, or you may not be able to see him for two or three months. Not only will he not help take care of the tea shop at home, but he will go back to the house once in a while, or he will either practice his sword in the backyard, or go to his eldest sister to play chess with the righteous sister in front of him, or simply sleep in his room, and then I don't know when the person will be gone again, a typical image of a gentleman.

After the end of the day, there was a stick of incense, and the carriage stopped on the side of a street, "Chief, Xiangfu Building has arrived!" The young man outside the curtain of the carriage whispered.

The woman in white didn't speak, Bi Xi hurriedly got up, lifted the curtain and picked up two oil-paper umbrellas and walked out slightly, the young man driving took one of them and stretched it open, jumped lightly, and landed with both feet, clearly with a shallow layer of stagnant water, but not splashed half a drop.

"I'll arrange the room, and you can help the girl down!" The young man said. In front of people, they called the woman in white Miss Su.

Bi Xi nodded, waited for the handsome man to turn around and walked quickly into the guest house, and then also opened the umbrella and jumped out of the carriage, took off the wooden stool that came with the rear of the carriage and put it under the carriage, and then said to the carriage, "Girl, come down!" ”

As the words fell, the purple curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and the woman in white bowed down and walked out slowly, holding Bixi's outstretched right hand, Shi Ran stepped out of the carriage. When the woman in white landed on her feet, Bi Xi took the wooden bench under the carriage and put it back at the back of the carriage, and Bi Yue, who had just come out of the carriage, protested, "I haven't come down yet......

"Grow your own feet!!"

Biyue pouted and underestimated, "It's as if Sister Su doesn't have long legs......"

Bi Xi, who was holding an umbrella for the woman in white, suddenly turned around, and a cold knife-like gaze swept to Bi Yue's face, Bi Yue was startled, and quickly stopped and said, "I, I...... I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......"

The woman in white smiled lightly, "Next time I say something like this, but remember to keep my voice quiet, even I heard it!" ”

Biyue had a weak heart, pulled out a stiff smile, and didn't dare to speak again.

Because the three of them are all women, the looks of the two Bixi Biyue sisters are also outstanding, although the woman in white in the middle hides a silver carved mask, but just by looking at the fair and slender lower forehead exposed under the mask and the delicate and delicate Yin lips, it can be speculated that under the mask, it must be a stunning face that is far from even the other two people around her. As soon as the three of them entered the guest building, they immediately attracted the attention of a group of guests.

Someone looked at the three of Bixi for a long time, and their faces were even more naked with the desire to take possession of themselves, seeing that they were just three women, and they didn't look like people in the Jin Tomb when they heard a few people talking, so they boldly raised their wine glasses and walked forward with a light smile on their faces, blocking the way of several people, and said with a smile, "A few girls are outsiders, and it is not safe to go out like this!" However, it just so happens that I ...... I ......"

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt a trance in front of him, and he already felt a terrible chill on his neck.

It turned out to be a half-unsheathed sword, and the person holding the sword was one of the three women in Fangcai, and it looked like the youngest was supposed to be the youngest. She is indeed the smallest, but that doesn't mean she can be underestimated.

Bi Yue looked at the man in front of him who was completely stunned with a friendly smile, but the kung fu in his hands was not ambiguous at all, Bi Yue's fingers moved slightly, and the sword blade gently scraped on the man's neck, seeing that the man's legs were trembling with fright, and he couldn't spit out a complete sentence with his mouth open, then he asked with a satisfied smile, "What did you just say, or how are you?" ”

The man was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly reacted, but he was so frightened by this formation that he was already out of his soul, and said hurriedly, "A few girls spare their lives, I was wrong...... There are a lot of you adults, you adults don't remember villains, I have no eyes to offend a few girls, but I, I won't dare next time......"

Biyue's fingers moved again, and she smiled faintly, "So, do you want to have a next time?" ”

The man hurriedly stopped, "No...... It's not a girl, I'm me, I'm ......"

"Look, you yourself said you are, what else do you have to quibble!"

The man was anxious, "Girl, listen to me, I'm really not, really not!" ”

"What's not?"

"I want to have a ...... next time"

"Look, look! I'm not wrong to blame you, now you've said it yourself again, what, you still want to deny it? ”

The man couldn't argue, a big man was so anxious that he was about to cry, Biyue also felt that it was almost over, and the sister behind her should scold her again after a while, she is now a heroine, and it will be very shameless to be scolded in front of so many people! So he didn't make any more trouble, Huo Di put away his sword and walked back to the woman in white.

At this time, the young man who entered the building first had already arranged the room with Ke Xiaoer, came down from upstairs, and was bumping into this scene, but not only did he not come forward to help, but stopped in the stairwell and couldn't go up or down, waiting to watch the play, and when the play was over, the talent walked down leisurely and said with a smile, "It turns out that our little girl Biyue is not just a vase!" ”

Of course, Biyue knew that this was a mockery of the last time she was scared to cry by a little mouse in a hostel, her eyes rolled, and she said, "I will never tell anyone how spectacular the scene was when our dignified Jing Yu hero fell into the lotus pond last month, and besides, the lotus pond is less than a meter deep......"

As soon as this sentence came out, Jing Yu only felt that her eyes were dark, and the whole person was not good, she wouldn't tell anyone if he invited her to eat roast chicken, she ate all the roast chicken, and even sold him!

"Let's go!" The woman in white smiled lightly, holding the curled up plush little guy in her arms and walking slowly upstairs.

Biyue rolled her eyes at Jing Yu standing in the building, and followed the woman in white, Bixi paid some more silver for the shopkeeper to take the carriage to the backyard and feed some forage, and the shopkeeper took the silver and happily went on an errand.

When Bi Xi went upstairs and stepped into the arranged hall, she saw the woman in white and Jing Yu standing in front of the window discussing something, while Bi Yue was sitting on the side boredly teasing the little white velvet guy who was finally willing to wake up for a while.

Bi Xi stepped forward and asked, "Girl, we have been traveling for nearly half a month, and now we have finally arrived at Jinling, you have basically not eaten much along the way, I think this Jinling is also rich, and the unique dishes of Yingzhou are basically available here, what does the girl want to eat?" I'll go and command it right away! ”

The woman in white turned to the side slightly, "You can arrange whatever you want to eat, I don't have any appetite, just call a bowl of lotus soup!" ”

Biyue was the tip of her ears, and as soon as she heard the words of the woman in white, she immediately reported what she wanted to eat, "Sister, I want a steamed sea bass, a biluo crystal hairy crab, a sauce plate duck, and a braised pork ribs, and a red stewed chicken......"

Jing Yu glanced at Biyue who was counting the food with her hands with disdain, "Are you sure, can you eat so much?" ”

Biyue rolled her eyes back, "You care about me!" I can eat it if I like it, but you're not convinced? ”

Jing Yu: "......"

"Jing Yu, you go to Jiyue Pavilion later, let Du Xiu come here to see me tonight!" The woman in white commanded lightly.

Jing Yu clenched her fists and arched her hand slightly, "Yes, girl!" It's just that...... I'm afraid that the news that the girl has arrived in Jinling should not be known to others, should the other branches be notified at the same time? ”

The woman in white shook her head slightly, "This is not in a hurry!" Du Xiu is the general manager of Su's tea shop in Jinling, and it is also the bus that I 'undercurrent' placed in Jinling, all the veins must be passed through his hands, and the news is passed on by him, which is much safer than if you start to move frequently now, even if you start to be noticed by people in the future, you will only find a Su's tea shop and a Su family's young master, but these are above board and honest identities, it is harmless for us, just let them go! ”

"Did the girl already predict that someone would check us by now? After all, we are just foreign tea merchants who have just arrived here, not to mention that our people have always been extremely secretive! ”

The woman in white smiled and shook her head, "You underestimate the characters in this Jin Tomb too much!" Those who can firmly stand at the feet of this Son of Heaven, in the imperial capital, are not simple people, not to mention that above them, there is also a suspicious and jealous Emperor Chen! ”

"Yes, Jing Yu understands!"

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened, Jing Yu had quietly left the building, and the little girl Biyue also went back to her room to rest after eating and drinking enough because of the tiring travel for days, and Yu Bixi stayed in the hall with the woman in white. The woman in white still stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the street below with fewer pedestrians, silent.

The night is getting thicker, and the night of early spring is chilly, Bixi turned around and took a fox fur cloak, and gently draped it on the shoulders of the woman in white from the side, "Although the winter is over, but after all, the cold is still there, and it has just rained, and the wind is also strong here, the girl's body has never been too good, and I am afraid that I will catch a cold if I stand like this!"

The woman in white looked sideways at Bi Xi, a faint smile on the corner of her lips, but it seemed to be mixed with more desolation, "Bi Xi, from the moment you followed me into the Jin Tomb, you are destined to embark on a road of no return, and you should know the hardships and dangers, if you ...... I mean, if I end up defeated, then you may also be led into the abyss because of me, and there is no way back, you ...... Will you regret it? ”

Bixi's hands stiffened when she was arranging the cloak for the woman in white, her expression paused slightly, she looked up at the dark eyes of the woman in white under her mask, and said resolutely, "The girl shouldn't ask Bixi like this!" Since the girl saved our two sisters from the hands of gangsters seven years ago, Bixi's life has been the girl's! ”

The woman in white shook her head slightly, "Bixi, I saved you, but for me at that time, I was just a gesture, even if it wasn't, but who stipulated that the person who saved you must give everything for that person to repay?" And now, I'm taking you down another, more treacherous, harder path......"

Bi Xi smiled and shook her head, "Girl Duan Ran don't blame herself for this, the girl has always trusted us, and treats us like biological sisters, just with the girl's affection, we have nothing to reciprocate!" ”

The woman in white smiled self-deprecatingly, and her eyes moved to the inky night outside the window again, "Although I really want to say that I will protect you in the future, but the truth is that you have always been protecting me all the time!" ”

"Protect the girl, that's all we have!"

The woman in white smiled faintly, "From tomorrow morning, keep a close eye on the street in front of you, and notify me immediately if there is a carriage with the number 'Dai' passing by!" ”

"'Generation' name? Do you mean the carriage of the royal palace? ”

"Hmm!"

Bi Xi nodded and took the order, and suddenly understood why the woman in white did not choose to go to Jiyue Pavilion, nor to find a nearby hotel to stay, but chose to go around most of the imperial city to this Pingding Street, because Emperor Chen's fourteenth imperial brother, the mansion of the current right auxiliary prince Zhong An, is located in this Pingding Street Xiangfu Building to the east of the eleven miles, and here, it is also the only way to go to the palace on behalf of the palace.

About half an hour later, Jing Yu returned.

"When is he coming?" The woman in white asked.

"Back to the girl, he said that it is not very convenient at this time, so as not to attract the attention of others, so he is ready to come over after the morning!"

The woman in white nodded, "It's not too early, after half a month's journey, none of you have been able to rest well, and now that you have arrived at the Jinling Tomb, you don't have to worry about your safety or anything, you two go and rest!" As for Du Xiu, just have me waiting! ”

Bi Xi hurriedly shook her head, "How can that be done?" Girl, your health is not good, I should wait, you go to rest! ”

Jing Yu took a step forward, coughed twice, and said, "How can you say that there is also a man here, such an errand, do you also have to fight with me?" ”

The woman in white naturally knew that the two of them were thinking about her, but the hard work they had paid for her was already several times that of her, how could she not think about them, not to mention that even if she went to rest, she couldn't sleep at all! This city, the city that appeared in her nightmares again and again, woke her up again and again, and now, she was in this city, how could she possibly sleep?

"This is an order, don't fight anymore!" The woman in white said in a deep voice.

Bixi and the others knew that she said this, that is, there would be no change, although they were worried about the body of the woman in white, they had to retreat, and they only hoped that Du Xiu would not come too late.
