On the 20th day of June of the lunar calendar, it is sunny and suitable for travel.

Early in the morning, five carriages were prepared at the gate of the Ji Mansion, and some ordinary people watched the excitement on the side of the road.

"It's such a big show, they all say that the Ji family is honest, but there is such wealth?"

"The old lady of the Ji family is the former master, and he still has to ask him a question when the saint is in trouble today, do you say that he is rich or not? Although Mrs. Ji is gone, the shade is still there, and Mr. Ji is also a big official. ”

"Today, the daughters of the Ji family should go to Qingzhou for summer vacation, every year. I don't know how many fields and industries the Ji family has, and I heard that even the bowls for eating are made of gold. ”

"What is the golden bowl, the Ji family is rich and noble, and the daughters born are all like fairies, I saw the girl wearing a gauze hat and an apricot gauze skirt, it was the daughter of Lord Ji, they all said that she was extremely beautiful, and it is unknown if she will be selected to be a mother in the palace in the future."

"Tut-tut, it's a pity that I can't see the appearance clearly, such a rich life is not something that we ordinary people can imagine, I just ask the Bodhisattva to bless me with a good birth in the next life."

Yingning wore a veil and stood at the door of the Ji Mansion to see people coming in and out of the cage, not knowing that people outside were talking about her, and somehow her appearance had spread in Kyoto. Gathered the gauze skirt, and straightened the white juan yarn in front of him, as soon as the sun came out, his forehead was a little sweaty.

Hongqing called from the side, "Seventh sister, seventh sister, the old lady and the wife are here, it's time to get into the carriage." The excitement in his tone could not be hidden.

Mrs. Ji went out with Mrs. Ji in her arms, and this time Mrs. Ji wore a dark purple Ruyi cloud pattern satin shirt, and twisted a string of black jade Buddha beads in her hand, and the whole person looked very energetic.

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji each have a carriage, and the carriage is next to each other, and there is a good response on the road. Mrs. Ji stepped on the footstool, and slowly entered the carriage by two maids, Mrs. Ji arranged the matter, and she got into the carriage with peace of mind.

One for the second sister and the seventh sister, one for the fifth sister and the sixth sister, and one for the two aunts. The two personal maids also followed into the car, handed over a piece of water, played a fan, and there was also someone around the master to serve him. The carriage is spacious, and it is not crowded for four people in a carriage, and the two girls in the carriage can also take a nap while lying down.

The five carriages were followed by luggage, a total of dozens of boxes loaded into four carts, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji each brought three maids, the girl and the aunt each brought two, and there was a cook and four rough mothers-in-law, and there were about 30 people in rough calculation. They are all a group of female dependents, bodyguards are naturally indispensable, plus coachmen, no less than 40 people. All the way to the outside of Kyoto.

At this time, the shops along the street in the West Market have been opened. The guy at the teahouse was sweeping the floor with water at the door. A few small tables were set up in the stall early, and they were already full. The goose meat bun is stacked in a cage that is one person high, and when the cage drawer is turned up, the white steam rushes out, and the aroma of meat and noodles spreads.

"Where did the fragrance come from, it made my saliva almost come out."

"Seventh sister, it's a goose meat bun seller on the roadside, the convoy is slow, and the slave maid runs to buy some to satisfy your hunger?"

"I want it too, and the hairpin beads, buy some to play with." The second sister gave some broken silver, and Qingqing and Qingbi immediately ran to the bun shop.

Qingqing bought four goose meat buns, and the lady who called the bun shop wrapped two packets in oiled paper, holding them in her hand, and the fragrance wafted in her hand, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Come to the stall that sells beads and flowers, there are all kinds of beads and flowers on the shop, all kinds of flowers, there are wishful knots, pear blossom knots, double buckle knots, carved hostas, beaded hairpins, fine silver step shake...... Cyanqing and Qingbi were dazzled for a moment.

On the road, there are tea sellers, flower sellers, and candy pinchers,...... The second sister and the seventh sister gently opened a crack and crowded together curiously. The grandmother who followed by the carriage always reminded from time to time, "Girl, put down the curtain a little, be careful of being looked at." Thinking that the girls rarely went out of the house, they also turned a blind eye.

"It's a pity that the third brother didn't come, he couldn't see these bustles, and there were some interesting things missing on the road." Yingning has some regrets, in previous years, the eldest brother and the third brother went to Qingzhou with them, talking about what they saw and heard on the way, and occasionally buying some gadgets. This year, the eldest brother is busy with the imperial examination, and he studies behind closed doors in the Yu Study Zhai every day, so he rarely enters the inner courtyard.

The third brother likes to dance and play with swords since he was a child, but Master Ji doesn't like his son to practice martial arts. Although there are still two years before the imperial examination, it is necessary to let the third brother accompany the eldest brother to study together, first, to have a companion for each other, and second, to have a better chance of winning the scientific examination in the future.

At this time, Cyanqing and Qingbi returned.

Zitang opened the oil paper, and a smell of meat came to his face. Ying Ning took a careful bite, and the goose fat juice in the bun flowed out, although she had already eaten breakfast, she couldn't withstand the temptation, Ying Ning wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth, and took another bite. This big meat bun is thick and thin, and it is already seven or eight minutes full after only two bites.

The two sisters looked at each other with a big meat bun and couldn't help laughing.

"Look at the mouth you eat full of oil~" The second sister pointed to the corner of the seventh sister's mouth, and her face bloomed with joy.

"Second sister doesn't have to make fun of me, you take the bronze mirror and take a look, who has become a big cat?" Ying Ning blinked. The second sister was busy wiping it with a silk, and her mouth was full of gravy.

The two sisters were so satisfied with their food that they began to look at the gadgets they had found.

"Although the materials used in these jewelry are poor, they are expensive because they are small and novel." The second sister picked up a hosta and looked at it, thinking that it was just right for the seventh sister.

In the end, the seventh sister picked a carved hosta, the second sister picked a pair of flower knots and a fine silver hairpin with beads, and the rest were rewarded by the little maids below.

"Second sister, seventh sister, there is a juggler in front, so it's not lively." Qing Qing lowered her voice outside the carriage and couldn't suppress her excitement.

The juggling gang enclosed a plot of land and was surrounded by a circle of people, and the juggling scene in the crowd could be seen in the carriage.

Jumping pills, making swords, walking ropes, spitting fire, swallowing knives, each is more exciting than the other, which makes people tremble to watch. Ying Ning saw a burst of flames rushing out of a big man's mouth, and hurriedly lowered the curtain in fright, and when she looked back, she saw that the second sister could see it, and she was itching in her heart, so she picked up the curtain again.

In the downtown area, the crowd gathers, the convoy moves slowly, and it is even more difficult to move an inch when encountering these jugglers.

I saw that a footstool was set up in the field again, and a beautiful young woman came out, and everyone immediately started to coax.

"What's going on?" The second sister couldn't take her eyes off it.

Qingqing and Qingbi stood short, and they couldn't see anything when they were blocked by the crowd, and when they stood on tiptoe, they could only see the footstool on the footstool, stacked one by one, more than a foot high.

"It's going to be a frisbee." Zitang said: "The girl's body is light, climb on the top of the stool, and catch the flying porcelain plate. The maid has seen it once when she was young, but it's not exciting! ”

"It's going to fall down...... the second sister's eyes widened, wanting to see how the girl could get up.

The girl was young and slender, stepping on the back of the big man's hand, climbing the stool and going up three or two times. Who would have thought that the young girl would turn over on it again, and she would stand upside down, and the second sister sighed repeatedly.

Seeing that the footstool was crumbling, Yingning was afraid that a gust of wind would blow and it would fall.

One after another, the porcelain plates were thrown up, and the young girl stretched out her little feet in embroidered shoes and followed them neatly, and the plates swirled on their toes again. The officials below applauded one by one.

There were two plates left, and the girl began to take them with some caution. Another plate flew in, and the girl's head and feet were covered with porcelain plates, and only two hands remained. She lay down, her limbs cocked, the plate still spinning on her tiptoes.

The people below were silent, and the seventh sister couldn't help but hold her breath.

Suddenly, there was a clatter, and the porcelain plate fell to the ground. There was an uproar at the bottom, and a few girls in the carriage didn't dare to come out when they saw the atmosphere.

The little girl on the top plate blushed for a while when she saw the eyes handed by the big man. There was a sudden burst of applause around, and everyone cheered up. The little girl shifted her posture to catch the last plate.

The plate flew out of the big man's hand, and the girl stretched out her hand with all her might, seeing that it was about to continue, who would have thought that the footstool under it would shake up, and the little girl's face turned white in fright, and the porcelain plate fell down in a hurry, and the porcelain slag was shattered to the ground.

The seventh sister's heart and liver were about to mention her throat, and the second sister on the side had already covered her mouth with a handkerchief. With Zitang's call, everyone watched as the footstool stacked more than a foot high collapsed.

The seventh sister immediately closed her eyes, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and helped the car frame. Huang Ji, the eldest girl next to the second sister, read with a hint of crying at this time: "This is a ......"

The seventh sister closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and was about to turn around and sit back in the car, when a burst of applause suddenly broke out in the crowd, and someone shouted, "The strong man is a good skill!" ”

I saw a young and handsome man, with wheat-colored skin, angular facial features, and a strong body, wearing an indigo-patterned ochre robe and a gilded sword, not like an ordinary person. Letting go of the young girl he had caught in his arms, the man turned away without saying a word.

The first cadre suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the seventh sister let go of her hand that grasped the window frame, and when she came back to her senses, she actually sweated in her palm.

At this time, the young girl's face was pale, and she trembled a little when she saw the red face of the big man who threw the plate.

The crowd on the side praised one after another, and asked the strong man to leave his name. The seventh sister's gaze followed the young man. Thinking about what kind of person this is, he has such a ability.

I saw the young man with the sword walk out of the crowd and waved at another man in black clothes. Unexpectedly, the young man looked very rich and unusual, but he whispered to the man in black clothes.

Yan Chen felt something strange behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a woman with an apricot face and peach cheeks on the carriage, a small face without fat powder, but her skin was like clotted fat, and her big eyes were radiant but innocent, looking forward to being like a fairy.

Before the seventh sister could take her eyes off, she crashed into a dark jade-colored deep eye, like an eagle in the night, so that people did not dare to look directly. The heroic sword eyebrows, the thin lips pursed, the fair face, the dark brocade clothes, and the jade around the waist show the nobility all over the body.

The seventh sister hurriedly looked away, forgetting to put down the curtain for a while, only thinking that there was such a handsome man in the world.

The man in the dark clothes turned his head with a smile and opened his mouth to the man with a sword on the side, not knowing what he was ordering. I saw that the man with the sword walked into the crowd again, gave the big man some silver taels, said a few words, and then withdrew. The big man kept waving at the man with the sword, and the young girl on the side kowtowed again and again, tears glistening.

Ying Ning clutched her chest and shrank into the carriage, and for some reason her heart was still beating at the gaze.

"The man with the sword must go and warn the great man, lest when everyone leaves, the young girl will suffer from the club, and there are indeed more good people in the world." The second sister also lowered the curtain and shrank in to talk about the scene just now.

Yan Chen turned around again, and the girl in the carriage had lowered the curtain at some point, leaving only a silk handkerchief on the side of the road......

"Fifth master, it's time to go back to the palace, the queen is waiting." Seeing that the fifth prince was stunned, Ling Tian called again: "Fifth brother? But when I see Shi Bao, I rarely see you like this. ”

"That's the Ji family's convoy?"

"Exactly, a few days ago, my father just received the holy will and assigned a few guards to accompany him."

"Master Ji is really capable, and his family can actually ask for the grace of his father when he travels."

"Master Ji is sleek, and he stands with Nie Guifei's mother's family, Nie Cheng, and the saint has to scruple. I heard that the Ji family has a beautiful daughter, I wonder if Master Ji will send her to the palace......"

Yan Chen narrowed his eyes: "The affairs of the court are something you and I can talk about?" My father has always hated collusion and stood in line, and you will invite trouble when you say this. ”

His eyes were so cold that Ling Tian trembled, and he only heard Yan Chen leave a sentence of "return to the palace" and turned to leave. Ling Tian hurriedly followed.

Tie Ling Tian is the second son of the general, was assigned to be the prince's side of the guard, since he was a child, he studied and practiced martial arts with the five princes, although he has long been called a brother, but the prince is the prince after all, and he dare not cross when he sees that cold gaze.

After this matter, juggling naturally closes the stall. The crowd also dispersed. The Kifu convoy also moved.

After passing the West Market, there is the city gate in front of you. At this moment, a voice in the carriage exclaimed.

"Ah, where's my veil." Ying Ning didn't know when she lost the veil, and after thinking for a long time, it should have fallen when she saw the juggler girl. When Zitang heard that the girl's veil was gone, she panicked for a while.

"How is this good, in case someone picks it up, Miss ......" Zitang didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't panic, I told the convoy to go slower, and said you weren't feeling well. Tell the young to run back to the market to look for it. A handkerchief is not worth much. Although the second sister said so, she didn't know the bottom of her heart, the seventh sister's handkerchief was not ordinary, and it was picked up by someone with a heart.

When she heard Zitang's instructions, she was stunned for a moment, and her face was not good-looking. Hurriedly told the mother-in-law next to her that the seventh girl was thinking about the little handicap in the market, so she picked up her skirt and ran back.

The seventh sister thought all the way, looking forward to the blue coming back with the silk handkerchief, and thinking about the woman who had just juggled, and the deep eyes, there was nothing to say in the car for a while. When the second girl saw the seventh sister like this, she shook her hand, and her palms were spread out, and her palms were full of sweat.

Zitang blamed herself, blaming herself for not taking a good look at the seventh sister, and the girl's personal belongings were also lost, thinking that the girl's name was embroidered on it, and she became more and more uncomfortable.

Seeing Zitang like this, Ying Ning calmed down, shook her hand, and knew that she was a little more anxious than herself.

A few people in the car were in a hurry, and Zitang stretched out his head to look back frequently. Yin Hong, who was beside Mrs. Ji, and Xingzhi, who was beside Mrs. Ji, came to ask many times, and Zitang had to cheer up and say that the girl had eaten too much and was not in the way.

Seeing that he was about to leave the city gate, a small figure finally appeared behind the convoy. Zitang's hand holding the seventh sister was already wet. Qingqing ran to the side of the seventh sister's car, panting.

"But you found it?" Zitang asked anxiously.

The blue trotted all the way, and at this time she was out of breath and couldn't speak. Left Zitang in a hurry.

"I didn't ...... Not...... Yikes...... I'm along the road...... If you look closely, how can there be ...... Trace. ”

As soon as she heard this, Zitang's tears flowed. Let my wife know that she will not be able to stay by the side of the seventh sister. There was silence in the car for a moment.

After a while, the convoy left the city gate and traveled a little longer, and the mother-in-law brought food. The second sister said leisurely, "That's it, let's eat, what can happen, we don't say anything and others don't know, don't think about the worst." ”

Zitang wiped her eyes, got up and took out the utensils, and prepared to set the meal for the girl.

A car of people with two different moods for a day, the excitement of travel is completely gone at this time. The convoy was still moving slowly.

Ying Ning faintly felt uneasy, and thought that something should not happen, and after a long time, her heart slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
