Ten years later.

The more warm and humid the ground, Fang February has passed the season of peach and plum competition, but I don't know where to float the light fragrance of flowers, and the warm spring breeze, which makes people feel lazy.

Xiao Yu, dressed like an ordinary child, walked down from the upper floor and sat down in a corner in the lively lobby of the inn.

The old storyteller above sat on a chair, and a cup of tea was placed on the lacquered wood square table in front of him, and his eyebrows were dancing, gesturing with emotion.

Storytelling, also called commentary, was only in the past two years in the rise of Yuedi, and then all parts of the Central Plains have followed suit, for a time the restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc. all invited people to rack their brains to write a book to tell the story to attract visitors to earn money, after all, I heard that the story also has to collect money.

At this moment, the gray-haired old man was telling the legend of an ancient empress.

Xiao Yu only felt that these words were very familiar when he heard them, and when he finally came back to his senses, wasn't it exactly the same as the rise and fall of the Su clan of the Nanyue royal family?

The old man finished the exaggerated and tragic ending with great sorrow, and there was a sigh at the bottom.

Xiao Yu's nose was sour, his eyes were swollen and he almost wanted to cry, remembering the memory of this life at the beginning, thinking that his father was in a dream: "Minmin, you really don't plan to let Wan'er follow your surname Su?" ”

It's like yesterday, but it's just that the personnel are no longer the same.

The gentle and amiable father and mother are no longer there, leaving themselves alone, hanging from each other. That's a lot better than the script.

Xiao Yu put his hand into his sleeve. Recalling the past, she couldn't help but clutch the raw edges of the burlap mourning dress inside, as if it would reduce the pain. But this time, she felt empty, and only remembered that twenty-seven months had passed, and she had been removed from the service a few days ago.

The old gentleman on the stage took a sip of tea and began to talk about the book again, but this time it was the story of a heroic general who bravely broke into the thief's cave and rescued the beautiful girl. There is no need to listen to it, Xiao Yu also guessed that the general and the beauty finally became married.

But the crowd was fascinated.

The world is already so difficult, and there can't be too many tragedies to talk about all kinds of jokes.

This inn is not far from the North City Gate, and the script is especially famous. Many business travelers from the south to the north settle here, and they are willing to listen to this comment in their leisure time, and find fun from it to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

Xiao Yu has long been tired of this kind of talented and beautiful people, heroes and beautiful people who save beauty and have a simple plot. She looked at the crowd in the audience who were listening to the drama with great relish, got up happily, and walked to the guest room upstairs.

Before going south, Aunt Zhang found two escorts to escort Xiao Yu from the dart bureau, named Wang Gui and Xu Jincai respectively, and hurriedly followed her upstairs when she saw this. Both of them are in their twenties, ordinary in appearance, and are said to be quite knowledgeable about martial arts. But it looks honest, but the character is not very good, and I don't know how I picked it at the beginning.

Aunt Zhang's maiden name is Jingyi, and she and Xiao Yu's mother Su Ying have been friends in adversity, and the two have a deep friendship. After Brother Jun was taken away before, her mother was worried about her safety, so she sent her to Zhou's husband's house in the capital Zhang's family. But Aunt Zhang didn't know Su Ying's identity, and the two rarely exchanged news.

It is rare that the Zhang family treats Wan'er very well, but the people of the Zhou family do not treat her very well, so after Zhang became seriously ill, he immediately arranged for her to return to South Vietnam.

Xiao Yu was surprised that the two of them didn't go to eat and drink but followed up, so he stopped and looked up and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Gui stepped forward and bent his waist and said, "The little boy took a step to speak." ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't act like a thief." Xiao Yu had even more doubts in his heart, continued to walk forward, and said with a frown.

Xu Jincai hurriedly glanced at Wang Gui, and when he saw his hesitation, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little boy, where can you settle down?" Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't say anything, he said: "You are alone, although you are wearing men's clothes, after all, you are a girl's family, and there is no relatives and friends to run to. Now that I have arrived in Yuecheng, I can't live in an inn all the time. ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jincai, not knowing what his idea was.

Xu Jincai looked at Xiao Yu's appearance as if he wanted to let himself continue, and he was overjoyed, and said, "The two of us went out this morning, but I happened to meet an old acquaintance who was on an errand in the palace. He told us both the news that the palace was now looking for a companion for the county lord. The two of us discussed it, isn't this a great place to go? ”

"How could the companion of the prince of the palace find me like this? Besides, even if my family is ruined, I will not go to slavery. Xiao Yu shook his head and said unhappily.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: "It's not a slave maid, we have inquired clearly, if we don't sign the deed, we just find a companion for the county lord to study, and I don't care about anything about my family background." With the girl's talent and conduct, if you go to the palace to see it, you will still be worried about finding a good husband in the future? ”

What is this?

Xu Jin heard the word husband, coughed heavily, and then echoed: "That's right." There are a lot of people in the city who want to go. This is still Brother Zhao's ability to speak in front of the princess, so I will have this opportunity. Why not give it a try? ”

"Thank you both for your kindness, I'm not going." Xiao Yu flatly refused, she walked into the room and took out the cloth bag and a letter that she had packed up earlier, and handed it to Wang Gui.

"The rest of the unpaid money from this trip is here. This letter was handed over to Aunt Zhang on my behalf, and the money for the foot trip was also in the cloth bag. I bought you wine for the extra silver in it. You've worked hard along the way, so let's get here. I found a place to settle down on my own. ”

The two glanced at each other, and when they wanted to persuade again, Xiao Yu frowned: "I have made up my mind, do you two want to make decisions for me?" ”

Although Xiao Yu was young, but as soon as he showed the posture of his employer, Wang Gui and Xu Jincai were speechless, looked at each other, and took the silver for a while. The two then took their leave, talking in a low voice as they went, and glanced back.

Xiao Yu entered the room and sat down, his face slightly gloomy.

Wang Gui and Xu Jincai sent her all the way south, in addition to being greedy for a cup of good wine and seeing money, how could he have cared about her whereabouts, but now she is enthusiastic. The expressions of the two of them were also strange. But if they had the audacity to want to harm her, there were many opportunities along the way, and they didn't see any action.

Why did the two of them suddenly have a plot against her when they arrived in Yuedi?

Xiao Yu was taken aback. Could it be because of her identity? She carefully recalled whether there were flaws in her speech and demeanor along the way, and analyzed the differences between Wang Gui and Xu Jincai.

If her inference is true, how did the two learn about her origins? Xiao Yu pondered hard. After all, only my father and mother and Brother Jun knew about this, well, there was Huahua, and even Aunt Zhang didn't know Su Ying's identity.

Xiao Yu stroked her chest, where she was wearing the ancestral jade pendant her mother gave her. She couldn't remember if she had accidentally exposed the jade pendant for the two men to see, but if her identity was suspected, it was the only possibility that this was the case. She doesn't look like a dead mother, not to mention that there are many similar people in the world, and she will never suspect a person's origin because they are similar in appearance.

But it stands to reason that Wang Gui and Xu Jincai should not know this jade pendant. Thinking about it this way, only the person from the Jingnan County Wangfu was the most suspicious.

Jingnan County Wangfu ......

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly untied the jade pendant, thought about it, hid it in another inconspicuous but specially made sachet, and still put it in her arms.

This jade pendant is very special, not only warm to the hand, but also vaguely fragrant, I don't know what kind of jade it is.

Xiao Yu decided to wait and see. If the people of the county king's mansion really had doubts about her, they would not give up easily. But if she leaves in a hurry, it will only lead to more conjecture.
