Chapter 474: The Thief Who Stole the Invitation
This scene is too abrupt.
Although everyone is in the proposed city and seems to be in the downtown area, everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is the palace inside, not the real East Market, so in fact, they are very cautious in their words and actions.
This sudden shout, coupled with a desperate flutter, really shocked countless people. Especially when everyone saw the situation of the people on the earth clearly, they looked sideways.
It was a woman of about twenty years old, although she was dressed as a man at the moment, but a discerning person knew that this was a woman at a glance, but her appearance was a little heroic, and her movements were neat and sassy. It was she who shouted, and then flew out, knocking a man down, uh, or subduing the man not far away.
By the time people reacted, she had already cut the person's hands in her hands.
Only then did everyone realize that this was a chamberlain dressed as an ordinary person.
"Hah! It's a lot of fun! I thought it was just a buying and selling market, but I didn't expect that even someone like a thief would be dressed up! The woman said happily, her voice was crisp, then she looked at Shu Jin, raised her chin and said, "Hey, let's see if you have lost anything!" ”
These words made Shu Jin stunned, she and Jiang Duanyu glanced at each other, just now they really forgot their minds for a while, but in this proposed city, there are not many people, far from the point of rubbing shoulders, so they have never felt close to others.
However, seeing what the woman said, Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu obediently turned over their pockets.
"How? But what did you lose? ”
The woman was still holding the waiter and stood three or four steps away from Shu Jin and the others. Although the chamberlain is said to be a person in the palace. But she is also an adult, but at the moment, she is holding it in her hand, and it looks light. The woman didn't seem to be feeling any strained. Shu Jinyou looked at her carefully, and felt that there seemed to be some kind of momentum on her, and if she thought about it, some of the aura was somewhat similar to her apprentice Liu Yunxi.
Is this martial arts?
"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, but the girl may have misunderstood something. I waited, and I didn't lose anything. Jiang Duanyu said.
"Huh?" The girl blinked, and her eyes widened. Stunned.
She looked at the chamberlain she was carrying, and for a moment she didn't know what to do, and the chamberlain ...... All right. The chamberlain was still covering his nose and mouth, and there was blood between his fingers, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to speak for a while.
The people around were speechless for a while, when they heard a bell-like voice suddenly coming from behind the crowd:
"Yan Xiao! What trouble have you done again! ”
With the sound. People separated. The appearance of the caller was revealed.
It was a tall man of about forty years old, full of heroism between his eyebrows, a little similar to this girl called "Yan Xiao", he was changing into an ordinary samurai uniform at the moment, but he was tall and amazing, Shu Jin could feel the killing aura on this person from the distance, maybe this is why people retreated so quickly.
"Huh? Father! The girl called Yan Xiao turned around. It was as if he didn't hear the reproach from the man's mouth, but ran over with the waiter.
"Daddy. It's a thief, I caught it! It turns out that there are still people pretending to be thieves in the proposed city! Uh......"
Originally, he was still babbling, but when Yan Xiao saw the person standing next to his father, he immediately stopped his voice, suddenly stopped in place, and then shrank his neck a little embarrassed, and then walked over again, "Jiang, Uncle Jiang." ”
The person standing next to the man was not a bystander, it was the current protector of the country, Jiang Duanyu's father, Jiang Cangjin.
"Stinky girl! What nonsense! The man glared and reprimanded. The voice is still loud, and it feels like I'm used to commanding in the army, and I can't change my loud voice.
Jiang Cangjin smiled gently when he saw Yan Xiao, and stopped the man's words that he was still about to reprimand:
"Hey, Brother Hong Wen, Yan Xiao is just simple and reckless, why bother training her!" As he spoke, he turned to Yan Xiao and said, "Little Yan'er has grown so big!" I haven't seen you for many years, and it seems that your ability has increased a lot! ”
I believe that there will be people in the market who will be ordered to pretend to be thieves, which is really simple enough. I didn't see that the people around me exchanged glances, obviously thinking that there was something wrong here?
"Hey, hey!" Yan Xiao listened to Jiang Cangjin's words, hehe, he was obviously quite stupid with a smile, but this Yan Xiao made it to make people feel like they were acting rashly, and they were not annoying at all.
Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu also came over at this time.
"Father." Jiang Duanyu and Shu Jin rushed to Jiang Cang.
As soon as Jiang Cangjin saw his son and daughter-in-law, he asked what was going on.
Jiang Duanyu explained the cause and effect in a few words, and at the same time knew the identity of the father and daughter.
This middle-aged man is the Marquis of Dingyuan, who came back from the border pass to report on his work, Fuyuan General Dou Zixuan, and this girl is his daughter Dou Yanxiao. Hong Wen is Dou Zixuan's character, and he and Jiang Cangjin have been friends for many years, so they call each other each other's words.
Dou Zixuan has been stationed at the border all the year round, and his wife and daughter have also lived at the border with him for a long time, three years ago, Dou Zixuan's original partner died of illness, and Dou Zixuan was alone with his daughter. This year, the border was stable, and he was ordered to return to Changdu to report on his work, so he naturally wanted to bring his daughter with him.
Dou Yanxiao was born in a family of military generals, and she was born with excellent roots, so Dou Zixuan simply trained her with her sons, and in the end, this daughter's skills are not inferior to ordinary men, and because she has lived in the border pass for a long time, she is surrounded by hot-blooded soldiers, and her mother has died, so her temperament is also more hot-blooded and upright. However, this kind of temperament, which is not a problem in later generations, made Dou Zixuan sad.
Because Dou Yanxiao is now twenty years old, but she hasn't even decided on family affairs!
The daughter was young, someone proposed to kiss him and his wife and all kinds of hesitation, to the wife was ill and finally died, the daughter kept filial piety for three years at once, and when the filial piety period ended, the daughter's best years were also wasted, and the people who came to ask for marriage became very rare, not those rude military men, or some fancy the lintel of their house. A villain who wants to take the opportunity to climb up.
After a long time, Dou Yanxiao simply stalked her neck and said that she would not marry anything. She claims that she is going to die of old age! Dou Zixuan returned to report on his work this time. In fact, I also saved the idea of seeing if I could grow up to find a wishful husband for my daughter. However, after he came back, he got together with some old friends, and he didn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and he just talked to Jiang Cangjin about it, wanting to ask him for an idea.
You know, the problem now is that there are few young talents, but they are not absent. With Dou Zixuan's power, even if her daughter is older, it is not difficult to get married. The key is that Dou Yanxiao refuses to marry! She seems to have really made up her mind, she will die alone, and she will not look at anyone's portrait sent to her.
Although Dou Zixuan shouted loudly at his daughter, in fact, he usually spoiled this girl to the sky, but now Dou Yanxiao is hard-hearted. It was in vain for him to blow his beard and stare at him. There's just no way to do it.
He and Jiang Cangjin are friends of life and death who crawled back from the pile of dead people together, at the beginning of Yan Xiao's martial arts, the enlightened person was still Jiang Cangjin! For so many years, although their family is not in Changdu, Yan Xiao admires this Uncle Jiang every time he mentions it, so he thinks, if Jiang Cangjin speaks, Yan Xiao should still listen, right?
That's it. Just now, he complained to Jiang Cangjin, but he didn't expect it. turned their faces and heard the commotion, and then the two of them realized that the center of the incident turned out to be Dou Yanxiao and Jiang Duanyu and his wife.
"It turns out that you are Uncle Jiang's son!" After the introduction of the two sides, Dou Yanxiao rushed to the river and said unreservedly, and then turned to Shu Jin, "Lord Xiangtang, I have admired the name for a long time!" I heard that your cooking is very delicious, I wonder if there is a chance to give me a taste? ”
The two people who were named, Jiang Duanyu smiled and saluted, while Shu Jin smiled and said:
"What's so hard about that! Welcome. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the Protector's Mansion tomorrow to find you!"
Shu Jin blinked, but still said:
"Okay!"
"Well, then it's decided!" Dou Yanxiao said happily.
Dou Zixuan on the side sighed, and did not stop his daughter's self-familiarity.
"Xiao Yan'er, did you let him go first?" After a few people talked for a while, Jiang Cangjin finally remembered the poor chamberlain, so he said to Dou Yanxiao.
As soon as she talked about this waiter, Dou Yanxiao also heard what had just happened, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the waiter on the ground with a "whew".
The strength of that moment was definitely not small, because there was obviously no distance, but Shu Jin heard a snort, and then after the waiter landed, he hugged his body and groaned, moaning several times, and didn't get up for a long time.
"Say! What the hell are you doing! Just didn't you want to steal! ”
Dou Yanxiao let him go, but obviously didn't intend to spare him. Seeing the reaction of his father and Uncle Jiang, Dou Yanxiao also knew that this stealing child was not a normal phenomenon.
"I just saw you sneakily following the prince and the county lord from a distance, and when they were not paying attention, they didn't know what they were doing, and then turned around and ran! Say, what the hell are you doing! ”
Seeing that the waiter didn't answer, she went up and kicked the man, and the person who kicked it made a whoop and rolled around.
When Dou Zixuan saw it, he couldn't help but reprimand Dou Yanxiao again.
If this is at the border gate, the harsh means are not a big problem, after all, the people to be interrogated are all meticulous works from other countries. But this is Changdu, it's the Changdu where he thinks he can find a wishful husband for his daughter! Who are the people who come to the proposed city? I'm afraid that the most powerful officials and courtiers in the whole length are here, right?
After such a fuss, oh my God, does anyone dare to marry his daughter? Who wants their son to marry a woman who may put people down and beat them at any time!
Dou Zixuan is a Zheng man, but he really broke down in his heart at the moment and wanted to cry......
"The slave is wronged!" The waiter was relieved, and hurriedly shouted. However, this sentence is very nasal. No matter who has a swollen nose, the nasal sound should be very heavy.
"You talk nonsense! I saw it! Dou Yanxiao obviously didn't understand her father's hard work, and it was not painful to be orally taught by her father, and she spoke again.
Shu Jin saw Dou Yanxiao's troubled appearance, and then looked at the waiter's somewhat erratic eyes, and frowned.
Looking at Dou Yanxiao's appearance, it doesn't look like a fake, and this waiter really seems to have a problem. Thinking like this, Shu Jin and Jiang Duanyu carefully rummaged through and verified the things on their bodies. In conclusion, I still haven't found anything missing or over.
"Humph! You won't say it, but I always know it. You, come here! Dou Yanxiao snorted coldly, still refusing to let him go, looked around, and saw a waiter standing not far away with a basket watching, so he waved at him and called someone over.
The chamberlain, who was disguised as a peddler, could not, so he had to come with a basket.
Although they are pretending to be hawkers at the moment, but any one who comes here has a head and a face, and they can't afford to offend anyone, and now in this situation, he has nowhere to hide, so he can only come.
"You searched him! Turn everything out of all his pockets! ”
Dou Yanxiao can be regarded as not arrogant to search for the body of an internal servant by herself. Although the chamberlain can't afford to be different between men and women, in the eyes of today's people, the chamberlain is an extremely lowly existence, how can the noble lady touch them if she has nothing to do.
The waiter dressed as a hawker couldn't, so he had to rummage through the waiter's body as he said.
Many people stared, and the waiter didn't dare not be serious, so he turned the waiter lying on the ground from head to toe, and finally found a post and a small medicine bottle.
It's unknown what the bottle contains, but the post is very familiar.
"Huh?" Jiang Duanyu was stunned, "This is not ......"
It's really their stuff. However, because they didn't bring it with them when they entered the palace, and they didn't buy it in the proposed market, they didn't remember it for a while even if they disappeared.
This is a minister and family members of the court who I just met, and they said that on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, their family held a banquet and invited Shu Jin to come to participate. That lady has no contact with Shu Jin, so it can be said that she is relatively unfamiliar, Shu Jin took the post, but she actually didn't plan to participate at all.
Anyway, the invitation letter sent to them for a period of time during the New Year is like a carp crossing the river, and it is not uncommon to refuse. People send a post, if you take it and throw it away, it will be too faceless, not to mention that for the formality, each post usually has the name of the invitee, so this post has the names of Shu Jin and Duanyu on it, so naturally you can't throw it away casually. So Shu Jin gave Jiang Duanyu casually.
Jiang Duanyu naturally knew Shu Jin's thoughts, so he helped her keep it, planning to wait until she returned to the mansion to dispose of it.
I didn't expect this thief to steal the invitation!
"What is this? You show me clearly! Still want to deny it? ”
Dou Yanxiao said, looking at the posture, it seemed that he could kick two more feet at any time.
"Well, that's what the minions picked up!" The waiter was hard-mouthed, and at this time, he was still quibbling.
Although Jiang Duanyu carried the invitation casually, he never lost the invitation without knowing it, so this person really wanted to steal something, and he still wanted to steal the invitation!
"What's that bottle?" Dou Yanxiao asked as she looked at the medicine bottle that was found on the person's body. As he spoke, he took it and opened the lid to smell it. (To be continued.) )
