In the spring of the twelfth year of Jianyuan, it was the time of spring again, and the water in the river outside Chang'an City had just thawed, and a little green bud appeared on the ground, even the willow tree looked at it from a distance and had a little green.

The lifters who stayed in Chang'an City early, or the lifters who had just arrived stepped up their studies, sometimes several fellow villagers gathered in one place to discuss knowledge, and some went to the teahouse and restaurant to gather in one place to discuss some national events, and for a time, the literary style of the whole Chang'an City was prosperous.

On this day, early in the morning, the gates of Chang'an City had just been opened, and a few horses were running on it, and the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder on the bluestone road.

At present, there is a white horse, on which sits a girl dressed in red with a graceful figure, but her long face is black, and her complexion is not very good, this girl's black crow crow's hair is coiled on the top, only a few silver hairpins are fixed, and there are no ornaments on the side, wearing a green jacket, red leg-piercing trousers, a jujube red embroidered skirt, black thin-soled fast boots, and a red cloak behind her.

Although she doesn't look very good, this girl's dress, coupled with her sassy and heroic appearance, adds a lot of color.

The girl in red waved her whip and beat her horse forward, and when she was about to reach the city gate, she urged the horse to hurry faster, but she didn't see that there were many people gathered at the city gate to go out of the city or enter the city, just when she was about to arrive at the city gate, a little girl of seven or eight years old hurriedly ran by, and saw that the horse's hooves were about to step on the girl, and the people around her, as well as the soldiers guarding the door, were all frightened.

The girl's mother screamed in fright, and many people hid their faces and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Lan Mei ......"

The girl in red rode behind her, and immediately a tall and long boy with white eyebrows and beautiful eyes was also frightened when he saw that the girl in red's horse was about to step on someone.

Another white boy in a green satin robe also called.

Just when everyone thought that the little girl was immortal and crippled this time, they saw the girl in red on the horse whip out with her right hand, and the whip was thrown directly at the little girl who was already very close to the horse, and the whip was instantly wrapped around the waist of the little girl.

The girl in red was castrated, but when she ran over, she threw down a silver ingot: "I'll give you a shock." ”

The sound of horses' hooves trampling ran past, and the two sons who followed behind her also hurried after her.

When the three of them ran away, the people at the city gate quarreled like a frying pot, and the little girl's mother ran over to help her own girl up and down and looked carefully up and down for a long time, and saw that the little girl didn't even break the oily skin, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter, sister-in-law, is the child okay?" Several women gathered to inquire with concern.

The little girl's mother patted her chest: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just scared, it's okay next to it." ”

Someone picked up the ingot of silver and sent it to the little girl's mother: "Sister-in-law, take it and buy something for the child to suppress the shock, don't be scared of such a young child." ”

"Hey." The child's mother agreed.

She got up with the little girl in her arms, took the silver and asked for a big bowl of wontons on the stall not far away to feed the child.

Her mother immediately bought the cake to coax her, and when the little girl took the cake and ate it, her mother asked the stall owners, "Whose girl was that just now, and why is she so public?" I see that the girl's age should be married, why did her family let her out, not afraid of gossiping? ”

The wonton stall owner laughed when he heard it: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, that one is a powerful person." ”

"Huh?" The little girl's mother was shocked: "Isn't it a girl from a high-ranking family?" ”

"She's a great family." On the wonton stall, he smiled and served wontons to people while chatting with the little girl's mother: "That girl's surname is Qi, she is the daughter of the Qi Xiang family, the grandfather of the family is the grandfather of the country, the father is the grandfather or the Hou Ye, the aunt is the current queen, the aunt is the long live master, in addition, there are a few aunts who are also amazing, married to either a general or a big official, Miss Qi has grown up in the blessing pile since she was a child, and the family is spoiled, I am afraid that I have never heard anyone say half a word, and her actions are naturally more public." ”

"Who am I, it turned out to be a girl from the Qi family, no wonder." When the little girl's mother heard that the girl in red was Qi Xiang's daughter, she was startled, and her hands trembled a little: "Thanks to Miss Qi's good skills, otherwise, otherwise this girl in my family will be dead and disabled, and I am afraid that there will be nowhere to go." ”

A guest sitting next to her put down the bowl and smiled: "That's not it, Qi Xiang's family is very strict, earlier his kid and a civilian student had a dispute and beat people, Qi Xiang also brought the child to the door to apologize after learning about it, I want to come, Qi Xiang's child's tutor is also good, this girl is afraid that there is something urgent." ”

"Yes, maybe." The little girl's mother nodded: "I see that Miss Qi's heart should be good, my girl didn't touch it or fall, she actually gave back the silver, and if she wants to put it in someone else's house, I'm afraid it can't." ”

Everyone else also laughed and only said that this sister-in-law had touched someone with a good heart.

There were also many guests, as well as the people who gathered at the city gate and waited to go out, and they talked about Qi family affairs.

This said that when Qi Xiang was the champion, he also specially looked at it on the royal street, the scene was really spectacular, and that said that Qi Xiang was honest and honest when he served in Suzhou earlier, and how he took the people of Suzhou to make a fortune, and some people said that when Qi Xiang built the south garden of the city, he planted trees there, and said a few words to Qi Xiang.

There are also people who say that when the city of Chang'an was broken, His Majesty and Qi Xiang led troops to rescue, and after the Northern Liang people were beaten away, the first thing Mrs. Qi did when she entered the city was to collect the corpses of those people, it was snowing at the time, and the cold weather could freeze people's faces, but Mrs. Qi was not afraid of the cold, and she was stunned to take people to stay in the snow for more than half a day, crying and giving those who died.

Speaking of this incident, the people who used to laugh lost their smiling faces, and thinking of the tragedy at the beginning, many people were also in a bad mood.

Not to mention what these people say.

It was said that Qi Lan was Niuniu who came out of Chang'an City to fight horses and galloped, all the way to a small river, where many willow trees were planted, and now they have grown like delicate buds, and when the wind blows, the light green branches are fluttering with the wind.

Qi Lan jumped off her horse and tied her horse to a tree, she took out her whip and struck a stout willow tree next to her.

"Sister Lan." A black horse and a red horse came running, the knights on the horses dismounted almost at the same time, and the delicate and white son in a long fragrant shirt led the horse and walked over: "Sister Lan, who provoked you, you went crazy in the morning?" ”

The boy in the blue shirt then walked over and smiled at Qi Lan: "What's wrong with you?" If you have anything to tell your brothers, let's do it for you if you can do it. ”

"Phew!" Qi Lan snorted, put away the whip, pointed at the blue-clothed boy and scolded: "Han Xiaopang, who are you, brother, don't be embarrassed and embarrassed with this big head of garlic." ”

"How do you talk?" It turned out that this blue-clothed son was actually the Han fat man who passed on to Princess Pingyang, but now that he has grown up, he has also lost weight, he is thin and tall, and he is a rare beautiful man.

"yes." The one wearing the fragrant clothes was Qi Yue, and he came over a few steps to stop Han Fatzi: "How did you talk to your cousin, my cousin also cared about you and ran with you, otherwise you would go crazy with you in the morning when you are full and have nothing to do." ”

Qi Lan glared at Qi Yue: "Did I tell you to care about me, even if you don't like me, you will get out of me and stay away from me." ”

"You ......" Qi Yue was also angry, pointed at Qi Lan and scolded: "Don't you don't know the hearts of good people, what's the matter, we care about you and it's wrong, you ......"

Qi Lan's whip was swung out immediately, which could be regarded as scaring Qi Yue, but Qi Lan was accurate in the end, and besides, she couldn't really dare to hit her own brother, so the whip was thrown directly to the ground next to Qi Yue, throwing off a large piece of grass that had just sprouted.

Qi Yue shuddered for a moment, and whispered in his mouth: "Don't you say that you can't do it, who should care about you." ”

"Get out!" Qi Lan scolded, and simply lay down on the grass with his cloak on.

Qi Yue saw that Qi Lan was really in a bad mood, so he didn't leave, and after a while, he pulled Han Fat Man to sit down next to Qi Lan, and when he saw that Qi Lan didn't move, he pushed her: "What's wrong with you?" No one in our family dares to make you angry......"

"What's wrong?" Qi Lan turned over and sat up: "How old do you say we are?" ”

Qi Yue looked at Qi Lan like a fool: "How old are you?" You're not really stupid, you can't remember how old we are, we're sixteen this year. ”

Qi Lan snorted: "You still know that we are sixteen, we will be adults at sixteen, you should marry a wife and have children, and I should marry someone." ”

"Huh?" Qi Yue was stunned.

Qi Lan got up: "I wanted to go over and ask my mother about something last night, and when I walked to the door, I heard what our father and mother said to ask you for a daughter-in-law, find me a son-in-law, and said that this year is the year of Dabi, and there must be good candidates in this new science and technology advancement, so you have to pay attention to it." ”

"What?" Han Fatzi was also taken aback when he heard this: "Cousin, cousin is going to marry you to those poor scholars?" ”

Qi Yue pulled Han Fatzi: "How do you say to the left, are these Jinshi poor and sour?" There are few poor students there, and most of them are the sons and daughters of the big families. ”

Han Fatzi's face immediately became ugly, and he opened his mouth to say something but didn't say it.

However, Qi Yue was not stupid, he understood after a little thought, he looked at Qi Lan: "But what you said is reasonable, as far as my sister looks like this, I'm afraid that this son-in-law can't look down on her, and she can only pick among the poor students." ”

"Can't you find a beating?" Qi Lan was angry when he heard this, and he was about to really beat Qi Yue with his fist.

"Don't, don't." Qi Yue hurriedly dodged over: "Don't be angry, tell me, what did our father and mother say?" (To be continued.) )
