Early spring.

A clear sky, the sky blue is clear and transparent, and a few white clouds are also idle into silk, hanging in the sky, like a beautiful veil, very beautiful.

On this day, Shen Si was going out to communicate with a few familiar scholars, so he happened to send Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong to a bookstore by the way, and solemnly asked Chen Houji, who came to answer.

Chen Houji was dressed in a cyan robe on this day, dressed very casually. He made a promise to Fourth Master Shen, and then took Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong over.

After saying goodbye to Shen Si, Chen Houji carefully looked at Shen Rouning and the maid behind her - Shen Rouning was young, and she only felt that she was handsome when she dressed up in men's clothes; But her maid is already old, and no matter how she dresses up, she can't hide the girl's slender and soft beauty. With a little more eyesight, you can easily recognize her.

But it doesn't matter, girls dress up in men's clothes, often just to come out for ease of movement, and it's not really unrecognizable, so don't care.

"Where does my cousin want to go?" Chen Houji asked with a smile.

"Since you've come to the library, I'll pick up two books first." Shen Rouning simply walked around the library, quickly picked out a few notes such as wild history anecdotes, asked the guy to wrap them, paid the bill, went out, and said, "I heard that the South Gate Queqiao is the most lively, let's go and have a look." ”

Chen Houji was stunned for a moment, then his face turned bitter, and he cautiously suggested: "Why don't we go to the Qinhuai River for a walk?" There are many painting boats there, and there will be boat girls stroking the piano and singing, which is also very fun. ”

The South Gate Queqiao is on a street in the south of the capital. The so-called Queqiao, originally a restaurant in the previous dynasty had a whimsical idea, bought the two restaurants on the street, hung a beautiful covered bridge on the second floor, connected the two restaurants into one, and there was a boo, took the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and named this aerial covered bridge Queqiao, and soon became famous. Later, the Daqing Dynasty was built, with Jianning as Kyoto, this increasingly lively street seemed to be crowded and unusable, so the imperial court ordered to widen and rebuild, and the original buildings had to be demolished. However, this magpie bridge is very distinctive, so the steps have been rebuilt and retained, and it has become a place where everyone can climb the bridge and visit. The street was also named Queqiao Street.

Because of this high place, those juggling artists gather here to perform. With juggling, there is also other excitement. All kinds of stalls and vendors also began to gather, and gradually became the existence of Jianning City like a temple fair, bustling with people coming and going, 360 days a year almost every day is noisy.

There must be a lot of delicious and fun gadgets in such a lively scene, but at the same time, there are also many problems - such as the thief who picks up people's purse fan pendants; Another example is a liar who deceives people and deceives people; For example, the traffickers with black hearts.

Shen Rouning and Shen Duanrong are both children, and the two maids and two little maids who followed are also not very old, which is exactly what those traffickers want to target. And when he went out today, there were only two people, him and his follower Jiansui.

There were so many people, if some turmoil washed them away, they would have been poisoned in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.

It's too dangerous to go there.

Chen Houji really didn't dare to lead them.

On the other hand, on the other side of the Qinhuai River, there are scenery, and there are vendors buying some beautiful things, there are not many people, and there are painting boats to rent, which is safe and interesting, which is a suitable place for them to go.

But Shen Rouning didn't want to give up the South Gate Queqiao.

That's the most interesting part of a city. Wouldn't it be a pity not to feel it? After listening to Chen Houji's explanation, she said, "My cousin is very worried. However, when we get to the corner of the street, Ning'er will show her cousin an item first...... If the cousin still says no after reading it, then Ning'er won't insist. ”

Chen Houji was stunned again.

He didn't believe in anything that could change his mind.

You must know that in the lively place of the South Gate Queqiao, there is no girl who is not interested. But almost all the big families forbade the girl's family to go - if there was an accident, it would be regretful!

And those sons, only when they have the size of adults, are they allowed to go in and play together, and they are not afraid of human traffickers. But the sons who went in, almost everyone lost some purse or something, and left a memorial.

It was Chen Houji himself, who thought that he had some kung fu to practice martial arts, and he also lost his purse once. No way, there are too many people. It's hard to prevent.

Shen Rouning was actually sure to persuade him to agree? What is she? Goods?

Chen Houji looked at Shen Rou's smiling little face again and again, and couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Jian Sui to rent a big carriage, and several people rode together, heading towards Queqiao Street.

Along the way, Chen Houji asked several times, but Shen Rouning just smiled and didn't answer.

It's not that she's selling off, it's just ...... It's simple, it's just a special carriage.

When she arrived at the place, Xi Yan, who had not spoken all this time, was obviously excited, looked around, and saluted Shen Rouning: "Girl, over there." ”

Chen Houji's gaze immediately followed.

Under a large locust tree on the corner of the street, a small black carriage was parked, pulled by two very docile mules, and on the wheel sat a young man in his early twenties, who seemed to see this, and was driving over.

"Cousin wants to get in the car?" Chen Houji pondered for a moment and said, "This carriage is not big, but it can indeed drive into the street...... But sitting in the carriage and shopping, you can see what kind of excitement, it's not interesting, right? ”

Of course, there is no danger in taking a horse-drawn carriage through Queqiao Street, which is one level away from the crowd. It's just not interesting. Chen Houji thought to himself. If my cousin plans to do so, if it's not boring, then he will accompany him.

It's just that the expectations that were raised just now turned up were actually such a result, and Chen Houji was inevitably a little disappointed and disappointed in his heart.

Shen Rouning shook her head and said, "Cousin Ji, my carriage is a little different. It's not as pleasant as being in a crowd for shopping, but it should still be interesting. ”

As he spoke, the carriage had already driven over, and the setting sun had set up.

"Brother, this is the fourth girl, this is the seventh young master, and this one is the second son of Chen......" Xi Yan hurriedly introduced the young man who was driving the car, and finally pulled him to salute with Shen Rouning and said, "This is the slave's brother." ”

"The little one's surname is Liu, his name is Tieshan, and he has seen four girls and seven young masters; I've seen Chen Gongzi. Liu Tieshan saluted respectfully. He was not born tall, but he was very strong, he had some strength at first sight, he smiled a little honestly, and he looked very honest and reliable. It's not like the beautiful sunset at all.
