The news came suddenly, and Mrs. Xie immediately sent Rong's mother to take care of it, but fortunately, she had prepared beforehand, and she was not in a hurry.

Three days later, Xie An also set off. This time when he entered Beijing, Master Xie specially sent Xie Anbang, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, that is, Xie Anyi's cousin, to escort him, so that he could send the team of show girls to Beijing earlier than the local government.

Speaking of Xie Anyi's cousin, he is not a nobody. At the beginning, he didn't want to rely on the official position of Yin Feng to make a living, so he studied hard in the cold window, and he took the Jinshi and the first. Today, the saints also appreciate him very much, and he is appointed as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. On weekdays, he is responsible for publishing scriptures, reading scriptures for the emperor and the prince, preparing for consultants, this time he specially took leave to pick up this beautiful sister into Beijing, and the emperor also specially sent Guo Wei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, to accompany him, which shows that the saint is long.

Xie Anbang is twenty-three or four-year-old, dignified and majestic, not like a weak scholar at all, but more like a young man who fights the world with swords, or the kind that is both civil and military.

The first time Xie An met him was on the day of his departure. Xie Anbang was asking for resignation from the old lady, and as soon as Xie Anyi entered the house, he saw a strange handsome man talking to the old lady, and he was a little stunned for a while. When the old lady saw it, she beckoned her over, Xie Anbang knew that this sister was suffering from soul loss, smiled slightly, and said, "This is the seventh sister, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she has grown so big." ”

"Seventh sister, why did you forget to salute when you saw your eldest brother?" Old Lady Xie was stunned when she saw Xie An and reminded.

Xie Anyi only then knew that this was the legendary Xie Anbang, who came to pick her up and go to the capital, so he hurriedly saluted and exchanged a few words.

The old lady gave a few more instructions, and it was not until Mother Rong told her that the carriage was ready and the luggage had been placed properly, and the two got up to say goodbye to Mrs. Xie.

This time when she went to the capital, Mrs. Xie didn't ask Mother Zhang to accompany her, but Mama Zhou followed Xie Anyi. In addition to Aimo Aiyan, Bailian Hongju mentioned a second-class maid and also followed. There are also more than a dozen rough maids and maids with raw faces, Xie An also glanced at it and didn't say anything, if she entered the palace, these people would have nothing to do with her.

The group set off in such a majestic manner. The journey from Weicheng to the capital was not too far, but because most of them were women, the carriage traveled for five days before arriving at the ferry port to board the boat.

Xie An had also sat in the carriage a few times before, as if he had adapted to the bumps and no longer got motion sickness, so the days ahead were quite comfortable. But when she got on the boat, she found that she was seasick, and as soon as she sat up, she vomited so dark that she had to lie in the cabin every day and not go out. In the meantime, Xie Anbang sent an accompanying doctor, checked the pulse through the handkerchief, and boiled a few bowls of medicine, Xie An also drank but did not get better, so he had to give up.

So, Xie An could only continue to lie down every day, and just when she felt that she was going to turn into a mushroom, Aimo lifted the curtain and came in and said loudly: "Girl, good news, the boat is about to dock." ”

Ai Yan had said before that after getting off the boat, you can get to the capital in four or five days by changing carriages. Hearing this, Xie An also suddenly refreshed, Ai Yan helped her sit up, combed her hair again, and applied some rouge to make her face look ruddy.

At this time, Xie Anbang's voice came from outside the cabin: "Seventh sister, the boat has docked, you can come out after you have your makeup." We've booked a room at the Joy Inn in town, where you can rest and we'll leave tomorrow. ”

……

As soon as he landed, Xie An also felt much more stable, and he could finally be "down-to-earth". In modern times, she has also been on a boat, but she has never been dangling on the water all day and night, and this is the first time in her life, so it is no wonder that she is not used to it.

Therefore, when she saw the words "Yuelai Inn", she felt that it was closer than her own mother. This Yuelai Inn is a small three-story wooden building, and the first floor is a hall, and many diners are in it. The second and third floors are rooms for passers-by.

After asking Ai Yan, Xie An also learned that this ancient inn, like the modern hotel, also has a presidential suite. They now live in the three-story Tianzi No. 3 room, and the No. 456 room next door has also been wrapped by them. The downstairs room is the ground number room and the person number room.

"Girl, I just heard that this Yuelai Inn is the favorite inn in the town, and all dignitaries and dignitaries who pass through this place will live here. No wonder I saw that there were very few people in this inn just now, and there was no shop, and there were no people in the firewood room and horse circle. "Aimo just went out to ask Xiao Er for hot water, and when he came back, he had already touched the inn clearly.

"Why, this firewood house and horse pen can live in people?" Xie An also got off the boat and felt that his body was more than half better, he had just cleaned his face, and he was leaning on the couch to close his eyes and recuperate, and he couldn't help but be a little curious when he heard Aimo say this.

"No, we've stayed in almost inns before, and sometimes the stables are full of people." Ai Mo Dao.

"Do you know if room number two next to us has ever been occupied?" Xie An also asked.

Aimo thought for a moment and said, "It should be a human being, and when the slave maid just went out, she saw a person dressed as a maid carrying water inside." Oh, by the way, the slave also picked this up at the corner of the stairs. As he spoke, Aimo took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket.

This veil is plain white, and only a plum blossom is shown in the corner, which looks very inconspicuous. It feels very soft in his hand, which makes Xie An also have a feeling of "enjoying silkiness".

"Do you know what this material is?" Xie An also asked.

Aimo shook his head and said, "Isn't it just ordinary silk?" The slave doesn't see anything. ”

Xie An also felt wrong, she seemed to have seen this material somewhere, but she couldn't remember it. So, she let Ai Yan touch it again. Ai Yan also shook his head: "Girl, I haven't seen this material slave before." Otherwise, ask Mama Zhou, she came out of the palace, she must know. ”

Xie An also nodded, and Aimo went to invite Mama Zhou. It just so happened that Mama Zhou had just finished a good meal and was going to come to Xie An to ask for peace, and the two met in the corridor.

"Mama Zhou, you are an old man in the palace, you are well-informed, help me see what kind of material this is." Xie An was also surprised when he saw Mama Zhou coming so soon, and asked.

Mama Zhou saluted, touched the material, and her expression changed: "Girl, where did you get this veil?" ”

"She picked it up in the hallway, and I saw that this material was strange, so I came to you." Xie An also pointed at Aimo.

Mama Zhou hurriedly handed the handkerchief to Aimo and said in a low voice, "Put it away first." ”

Then he walked up to Xie Anyi and said softly: "Girl, if the old slave is not mistaken, this should be Yujin." ”

"Jade brocade?"

"Yes, when the emperor was still alive, Concubine Yun liked this material the most. It looks ordinary, but it reflects light in the sun, and it looks beautiful. But since the current saint has succeeded to the throne, this jade brocade is not common. ”

Concubine Yun? Isn't that Xiao Xiaohan's biological mother, the one who gave the emperor a martyr? No wonder! She felt that she had seen this material, and the sachet of Xiao Xiaohan she had picked up before was Yujin!
