The way down the mountain was not as complicated as Tang Yi thought, there was no tiger in the way, no giant python entrenched on the end of the tree, she heard the lark chirping on the treetops, she saw the carp swimming against the water in the rapids, Tang Yi was in a good mood, but when she arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the horse left by Father-in-law Qi was so hungry that he couldn't ride.

Tang Yi walked over and saw that the big tree with the tethered horse had been gnawed bare, and the ground was flat and formed a circle, which contrasted sharply with the lush grass outside.

Don Yi untied the horse's reins, and the horse staggered towards the grassy place, bowed his head, and gnawed on the grass on the ground.

Tang Yi knew that this horse could not be ridden for a day or two, she raised her eyes and looked around, there was wilderness everywhere, there was no cooking smoke, there were no people, she looked at Panlong Mountain, she knew that the Taoist would not take her in, the Taoist was a strange person, and the words he said would never be taken back.

Tang Yi decided to walk out of this wilderness.

In the wilderness where the two countries meet, she walked along a patrol road on the border of the northern country, and after an hour, she saw a river, there were boats on the river, and this river led all the way to Kyoto in the north, and it was from this river that Su Man and Chen Yao came.

I had to find something to eat, Tang Yi saw a ferry on the river, and the captain was a gray-haired old man, wearing clothes full of patches, and shoes without heels on his feet, and stepped forward.

"Old man, can you cross the river with me?"

"A penny!" The old man looked up, saw that it was a girl, got off the boat, straightened the reins, and let Tang Yi get into the boat.

"I don't have any money!" Tang Yi touched all over her body, but she didn't touch a single child, she was slightly embarrassed.

"What river do you cross without money?" The old man is not very careful, this is the first time, but he met such a handsome girl, who took a boat but had no money.

"Or not!" Tang Yi took down a jade pendant on his body, handed it to the old man and said, "This is the money for the ferry, it's enough!" ”

The old man took the jade pendant, looked at it, shook his hand, and handed it to Tang Yi.

"Girl, don't be kidding, our Zhuang family, although poor, but they are all responsible people, the girl makes us happy, doesn't she? How expensive this thing is, you better keep it, if it breaks, I can't afford to lose my family. ”

"You take it, it's okay, I'm willing to give it!"

"Miss, just spare me, I don't dare to cause trouble! If your lord comes to me, sends me to the government, and convicts me of blackmail, it will be enough for me, and I don't want to die in prison! ”

"What then?" Tang Yi was worried, although the old man was poor, he was not greedy for money.

"It can be seen that the girl is really lacking for a while, this time I don't need money, I will send you across the river!"

After crossing the river, Tang Yi went ashore, looked back at the old man's house, and asked.

"Old man, what is this place?"

"This is Zhennanwang Street!"

Tang Yi sighed, she stood there, looking at the village far away from here, the old man was ferrying here, and there was no business, and he thought that his life was poor, and there was really no way, so he ferried in this place. There is a pier upstream, but it has already been occupied.

Tang Yi didn't say anything, she went ashore, thinking that one day there would be a chance to send money to the old man to thank him for his kindness this time.

Zhennanwang Street? Tang Yi thought, then will the Zhennan Wangfu be here?

Tang Yi went up and asked someone, and sure enough, he was here. Tang Yi walked around the street, where people came and went, and it was very lively, not as depressed as Hedong. Tang Yi was on the street until noon, his stomach growling with hunger.

She's penniless, what should she do? Tang Yi walked to the back door of the Zhennan Palace, which was on the side of the street, and when she saw a woman in the palace come out, she stepped forward and called out.

"This mother!"

This mother is none other than Zhou's mother, she went out to buy crisp cakes for Chen Yao. Chen Yao likes to eat Nanji crisp cake the most, Nanji crisp cake business is particularly good, but every time, the store has to leave a piece, the shopkeeper knows, there is a young lady in the town's Nanwang Mansion, especially like to eat his crisp cake, he has to keep a piece, because this young lady, maybe when he wants to eat crisp cake, once, he closed the door, in the middle of the night someone knocked on the door, asked if there was a crisp cake, he said no, the door was called open, left a tael of silver as his overtime pay, asked him to make crisp cake in the middle of the night. From then on, the shopkeeper should keep a piece of pastry no matter what.

The person who lost the silver was Zhou's mother.

Mother Zhou heard someone call her, turned around and saw a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, beautiful.

"Girl, is there something wrong?"

"This mother, you are doing well, I am hungry and have no money to buy something to eat!"

Zhou's mother looked Tang Yi up and down, judging from her clothes, she didn't look like a child from a poor family who had no food, she should be a young lady, why did she come here alone to beg? Suspicious, he asked.

"Where's your family? How are you alone? Where do you live? ”

"Me?" Tang Yi was stunned, could it be said that she was the princess of the southern country? She thought about it for a while and made up a lie, "I am from Nancheng, and my father is in the grain business, this time I secretly followed the boat that transported rice at home, and secretly went ashore to play, and when I turned around to find the boat, there was no more, and I heard that the boat had already left!" ”

"Huh?" Mother Zhou looked at Tang Yi in surprise, "Ouch, you naughty child, you are quite bold." In the grain business, you are also a rich man, you are such a beautiful lady, you can't run around, if you meet a bad person, how can you get it? ”

Mother Zhou sighed, and finally said to her as if she had made up her mind.

"So, you wait a while to come into the house with me, I will tell the old lady to go, the old lady is the most charitable, our house just has a boat going north, tomorrow morning to pull out, then let people give you a message to the house, let your family come to pick you up, such a handsome girl, don't dare to run around."

"How is this good?" Tang Yi was secretly happy in her heart, she remembered that Chen Yu asked her to go and see her sister when they were separated, she was still embarrassed, how could she find it? She can't enter the Zhennan Palace, and she doesn't know anyone, this time it's okay, it's really a blind cat that meets a dead mouse, what a coincidence, thinking of this, Tang Yi said: "When someone from my family comes, I will ask him to thank you well!" ”

"Pull it down, I don't want you to reciprocate, I look at you pitiful, a girl's family, falling to such a point, no one can bear to watch you run around and encounter danger. Let's go, come with me to Nanji Pastry first, and I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat! ”

"Then thank you Mom!"

After buying the pastries, Zhou's mother took Tang Yi into the inner mansion, asked the little girl to send the pastry cake to Chen Yao, and then took Tang Yi to the old lady's room.

"Old lady!"

The old lady sat there drinking tea, and when she saw Zhou's mother coming in with a strange beautiful girl, she asked.

"Mother Zhou, whose girl is this, so handsome?"

"Old lady, I was about to tell you about this!"

Mother Zhou repeated what Tang Yi had just said, and the old lady beckoned to Tang Yi and looked at it carefully.

"It's really pretty, it's comparable to the pearl Yao'er in our house, well, it's good, this skin is so fine and white."

The old lady rubbed Tang Yi's hand, but Tang Yi's mind was on the old lady's words, Zhu'er Yao'er? Could Yao'er be Chen Yao?
