More than 40 years ago, Liu Yong, a great poet of Tianxingguo, traveled to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yunnan and Hangzhou, and wrote words:

"The southeast shape is victorious, several dynasties will be the capital, and the two hangs have been prosperous since ancient times. Smoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, uneven 100,000 households. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. ”

"The heavy lake is stacked with Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus. Yi Guan is clear, Lingge is full of night, frolicking and fishing for lotus babies. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth, listen to the flute and drums while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua. ”

The two hangs are backed by the North-South Grand Canal, and the smoothness of the waterway is no less than that of the land route. These two prefectures are the richest and most prosperous places in the Tianxing Kingdom, and before the two Xiaos were settled, their population density was equivalent to three times that of the same prefecture city. After nearly 100 years of operation, the registered population has now reached 10 times.

The denser population than the carp crossing the river, the infrastructural trade transactions that cannot be delayed, and the enlightened and fair governance strategies of the other county governments in the Tianxing Kingdom have created prosperity that is unattainable in Lianghang. As Liu Yong said: "The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious." ”

Back then, the princess of Qin first worked hard in Suhang Mansion, and Yunhang Mansion was only included in the family business after her young daughter Xiao Lao Taijun got married. But Mrs. Xiao's ability is extraordinary, and for decades, the style of Yunhang Mansion is only above that of Suzhou and Hangzhou Mansion, and never below it.

Yunhang Prefecture has built dozens of wharves along the North-South Grand Canal, including public wharves built by the government and private wharves. One of the South Wangjiao Wharves belonged to the Yunhang Xiao Clan, and now the east is only showing the white of the fish's belly, and several riders and a big carriage are rushing to stand on the wharf and wait in the distance.

Of the seven knights, two women and five men, all but one girl not more than ten years old, the rest were young men of seventeen or eighteen years old. The crowd was led by a blue-clad female knight, who was dressed in a thin silk riding suit with a cross-collared and narrow sleeves, her slender and straight thighs tightly wrapped in trousers, and knee-high riding boots. Her hair was pulled up in a bun. Fastened with a yellow gold crown set with a hairpin and ruby.

This female knight was born with long sideburns, big phoenix eyes, a hanging nose, a naturally smiling and slightly curled lips, and an amiable smile on the goose egg face. She sat on her horse with her back straight, her eyes looking straight up the Grand Canal. It's out of my mind.

Everyone was silent, and five male knights with long swords hanging from their waists surrounded the two female knights, their eyes patrolling around, vigilantly approaching the left. The other female knight was dressed similarly to the blue-clad female knight, except that her outfit was a delicate pink-green. The crown on his head is set with a large sapphire. Her appearance is quite similar to that of the female knight in blue, but she has a pair of apricot eyes, but she is not a big and charming Danfeng eye.

The Lady Knight in Blue and the Knight in Green are sisters, but they are far apart in age. The female knight in blue is Xiao San, Xiao Langlang, who is famous among the two Xiao, and the female knight in green is her own sister Xiao Sixteen Xiao Yingying. The five male knights were the sisters' personal guards, giving them the ruthless role of blocking swords and arrows every minute.

Xiao Langlang only returned to Suzhou Mansion from Tianyi Zhenzong half a month ago, and only rested at home for a few days, so he took his sister to Yunhang Mansion to visit Mrs. Xiao. In terms of seniority, they want to call Mrs. Xiao Mrs. Jun's great-aunt and grandmother.

Of course, everyone knows. Xiao Langlang's intention to be a drunkard here is not to drink. Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to ask to enter the Shaw Girls' School. As for Xiao Yingying, although she is not qualified for the title of princess of Qin Kingdom, she and her sister plan to take the Xiao Girls' School in Yunhang Mansion.

The sisters came to the dock early in the morning today, because it was an urgent matter. Before Xiao Langlang left the division, he specially invited an elder to come to Tianxing Country as a guest. She didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect this Uncle Li to respond with a mouthful.

However, the two did not go together, and Uncle Li would arrive later, and the calculated time was these days. Xiao Langlang came to try his luck today, hoping to meet him sooner.

Xiao Yingying's eyes rolled a few times. After all, he was young and uncertain, so he couldn't help but complain: "Sister, if they arrive at night." Shall we wait until the evening? ”

Xiao Langlang didn't look at her, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You can go back." ”

Xiao Yingying pouted, not daring to mention this stubble again. Although they are the sisters-in-law of the same mother, because Xiao Langlang has been cultivating in Tianyi Zhenzong for many years, he rarely goes home. Although there is a sisterly relationship, Xiao Yingying's awe of her sister is also half a lot.

After a while, Xiao Yingying grinned and asked again: "Sister, then tell my sister, who is this Uncle Li, and why is it worth your sister to pick it up in person?" ”

The person Xiao Yingying admires the most is her sister, in her opinion, if her sister was born in the Jokhang Empire and has the status of the Jokhang royal family, the throne of Jokhang will not have anything to do with Xiao Wanwan! What kind of Uncle Li is this, hum, what kind of virtue does he have, how can he let his sister greet him in person!?

Speaking of Uncle Li, Xiao Langlang's eyes softened, and even his voice was much softer. Even, she sighed faintly first, and said, "Uncle Shizu, he ...... It is the most amazing person in our mountain gate. After saying that, she was stunned again.

Xiao Yingying said that she was pricking up her ears to listen, why didn't my sister say it? just peeked at her sister's look, she didn't dare to urge, she could only wait honestly.

After a while, Xiao Langlang finally turned his face to look at Xiao Yingying, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he solemnly admonished: "Yingying, you remember, in front of Uncle Li, you must not slander the Eastern Tang Kingdom. Although Tianxingguo and the Eastern Tang Kingdom are feuding, we are the Jokhang clan, and the hatred of Tianxingguo has nothing to do with us. Moreover, now these two countries have not torn their faces and claim to be allies. If you are a friend, you should be gentle with each other. ”

Xiao Yingying responded sweetly, clapped her hands and smiled: "Sister, this Uncle Li is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, right?!" ”

Xiao Langlang nodded and looked at the Grand Canal again. The surface of the water, illuminated by the rising sun, was as dazzling as if it were sprinkled with broken gold. She didn't know what she remembered, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "He is the seventh prince of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, and he is the king of Linzi!" ”

Xiao Yingying blinked her apricot eyes, and the innocent smile on her round face was still in full bloom, and she looked at the river from afar like a sister. The prince of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, the most amazing Uncle Li of the Tianyi True Sect who rules the world, and his sister invited him to come in order to suppress the Venerable Hui of the East China Sea Buddha Country who was famous in the Tianxing Country during this period after the three generations of Zongzheng, right?! Hey, he's supposed to be young, then?

Xu heard the hearts of the sisters, and after waiting for about a pillar of incense, several tall masts slowly appeared on the horizontal surface of the sky, and several flags waving in the wind were hung on them. As soon as Xiao Langlang saw the word "Li" embroidered on the flag surrounded by silver-white cloud patterns, he smiled heartily. (To be continued.) )
