-----------

In early spring and February, the branches are green and the warblers are crying gracefully.

The cool spring breeze carries a faint scent of grass. Bianliang, which has gone through a whole winter, thawed in the severe cold, and gradually revealed the early spring breeze.

There are many people who travel in spring by the Bianhe River. The delicate scholars wearing Confucian shirts and scarves shook their heads and recited sour poems, the brightly dressed sons of the family talked and laughed surrounded by servants, and occasionally there were young girls with delicate faces who covered their faces with fans and smiled shyly.

There is a marina not far away.

The wharf was full of people, the coolie porters carried heavy burdens, and the hawkers shouted at the top of their voices, looking vibrant and prosperous under the morning sun.

An official ship slowly approached from far to near.

A young man in a cyan shirt stood at the bow of the boat. He was about sixteen years old, slender and handsome, with admiration and a smile in his clear eyes: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really extraordinary. ”

This is just the pier of the outer city of Bianliang, if you enter the inner city, I don't know what it will look like!

This young man in a green shirt standing with his hands in his hands is Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked at it with great interest for a moment, turned back to the cabin, and said to Zou and Xu Jinyu with a smile: "Mother, second sister, don't stuffy in the cabin for the two of you." I was bored all the way for more than half a month, and I went out to see what Bianliang City was like. ”

Zou said with a smile: "If you are bored, just stand at the bow of the boat for a while, and Jinniang and I still don't go out." ”

Nowadays, the world style is not harsh on women, but serious boudoir daughters will not show up in front of people.

Xu Zheng didn't force Zou, and looked at Xu Jinyu who was slightly drooping: "Sister, are you better now?" "I didn't sleep until the third watch last night, and I don't know if Xu Jinyu's mood has calmed down.

Listening to the strong concern in her brother's words, Xu Jinyu's heart was warm, revealing her first shallow smile after waking up last night: "I'm fine, eldest brother doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Is it really okay?

Xu Zheng looked at Xu Jinyu intently.

The fourteen-year-old girl's cheeks are as smooth as jade, her eyebrows are curved, her nose is straight, and her lips are ruddy and small. The most beautiful thing is the calm and clear eyes. When smiling slightly, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, people can't help but ripple in their hearts.

Except for the slight redness and swelling of the eyes, as usual.

But Xu Zheng was keenly aware that she seemed to be a little different from before.

What's the difference? Xu Zheng thought secretly in his heart, and unconsciously stared at it for a longer time.

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and chuckled, and the pear vortex on her cheeks loomed: "Big brother, is there anything dirty on my face?" Why do you keep staring at me? ”

Xu Zheng came back to his senses and casually quipped: "It's nothing." I was just thinking, you kept crying last night and refused to go to the Hou Mansion to stay, why did you figure it out when you came over overnight. It's so calm now. ”

Xu Jinyu pretended to be embarrassed and glared at Xu Zheng. provoked a burst of laughter.

Xu Zheng's smile was clean and bright, and he was very good-looking. The cabin, which was slightly dim, also brightened by his smile. Zou laughed as well.

Xu Jinyu looked at the smiling faces of her mother and brother almost greedily, and secretly swore in her heart.

No one in this life would want to hurt her and her loved ones again

The official boat slowly stopped at the pier.

The Bianhe River runs through the inside and outside of Bianliang City, and ships carrying goods and people come and go frequently, and there are more than a dozen large and small wharves. This marina is the largest of them. Among the docked ships are many luxurious and exquisite official ships.

The official boat on which the Zou mother and son sat was also gorgeous, but it was not eye-catching.

Mother Li hurriedly walked out of the cabin, and soon came back with a smiling face: "Madam, the people from the Weining Hou Mansion are already waiting at the dock." ”

Li's mother and Zou are age-compatible, with slightly dark skin and mediocre appearance. She was the Zou family's dowry maid back then, she never married, and she was the confidant of the Zou family's closest confidants.

Zou snorted: "Send someone to carry the luggage to the carriage first." ”

Mother Li answered, and led the maid to carry the luggage in the cabin to the carriage one by one.

The Zou family came to the capital, and the luggage they brought with them was naturally not less. There are dozens of large and small cages, and the books and poems that Xu Zheng brought are placed in four full boxes. Fortunately, the Marquis of Weining's Mansion sent four carriages.

A woman about 30 years old wearing a silver and red jacket walked into the cabin and saluted the Zou family: "The slave and maid are the housekeeper mother beside the lady, and the wife can just call the slave and maid Mother He." Mrs. has been thinking about Mrs., and sent someone to wait at the dock for half a month, and finally received Mrs. today. ”

This mother He has an ordinary appearance, but she can speak well and speak well.

In the end, he has lived in the Hou Mansion in the capital for a long time, and even a housekeeper mother has such a bearing.

Mother He smiled and saluted Xu Zheng, Xu Jinyu's brother and sister, and praised: "The slave maid has never been to Lin'an, but only looking at the eldest young master and the second young lady, I also know that Lin'an is a good place for outstanding people." ”

Mother He is not a sycophant. Seeing this pair of brothers and sisters for the first time, no matter how picky people are, they can't help but secretly praise it.

Xu Zheng has handsome eyebrows, a clear smile, and an outstanding bearing.

Xu Jinyu's eyebrows were picturesque, smiling slightly, gentle and quiet.

The two brothers and sisters look alike, but their temperaments are different. Standing side by side, like a pair of pearls, exuding dazzling brilliance and heartbreaking.

This sentence can be regarded as a compliment to Zou's heart.

The smile on Zou's face was even bigger: "The two of them are still young, and they have never seen the world. Where can I match the young lady in the Weining Hou Mansion. Mother He praised it falsely. ”

Xu Jinyu listened to the greetings between the two calmly, without showing the slightest abnormality.

This Mother He is the second-class steward in the Hou Mansion. When the scenery is welcomed, when the fall is down, he spares no effort, and he is a villain who sees the wind and makes the rudder look high and low. Back in the Hou Mansion, she suffered a lot of losses. Now that I see He's mother with a courteous face, I only feel disgusting in my heart.

But no matter how disgusted I am in my heart, I can't reveal a single star.

When she enters the Weining Hou Mansion, she will meet people who are several times more treacherous and sinister than Mother He. If you don't even have this bit of a city, you will only be calculated and framed like in your previous life.

Mother He said with a smile: "This is the outer city, and when you enter the inner city, and then go to the Hou Mansion, it will take three or four hours." After a slight delay, I was afraid that it would be dark when I arrived at the Hou Mansion. I also asked my wife to lead the eldest young master and the second lady into the carriage and set off early. ”

Zou smiled and nodded.

The carriage of the Marquis of Weining was parked on the official road by the dock.

Xu Jinyu lowered her head slightly and got into the carriage with the Zou family. The wooden wheels creaked on the flat official road and headed towards the Weining Marquis Mansion

The carriage of the Marquis of Weining entered the outer city from the Nanxun Gate. Two hours later, I arrived at Suzaku Gate.

The tall and sturdy city gate, the neat soldiers guarding the city, and the long queue of people waiting to enter the city outside the city gate were orderly and not noisy at all. The carriage of the Marquis of Weining Mansion also did not have the privilege of advancing to the city, and was honestly lined up in the queue. I waited a quarter of an hour before entering the city gates.

After entering the Suzaku Gate, it is the inner city of Bianliang.

Dayan was founded for more than 200 years, and its national strength was prosperous, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. Zou's mother and son have lived in Lin'an for a long time and have always been proud of Lin'an. However, compared with Bianliang City, Lin'an is really nothing.

The streets are wide and smooth, with shops on both sides, and pedestrians on the streets are bustling with people.

Xu Zheng lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and his young and handsome face showed a flying look: "If you can show your skills in Bianliang, you will not be in vain in this life." ”

The words were full of the ambition of a young man.

Listening to the bustling sound outside the carriage, even Zou couldn't help but look around, and sighed with a smile: "Less than three years after getting married, I went to Lin'an with your father, and you were only born at that time. I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years, and now I look at Bianliang City, even I feel strange. ”

The mother and son sighed in their hearts.

Xu Jinyu, who was sitting next to the Zou family, was even more secretly embarrassed.

At this time, the national power of Dayan was prosperous, the four seas were peaceful, and the capital Bianliang was stable and prosperous. Who would have thought that in just six years, Dayan would be turned upside down. There was a river of blood in Bianliang City

"Sister, why don't you talk all the time?" Xu Zheng looked at it with concern.

Xu Jinyu has a gentle temperament, but she is also smart and playful in front of her family. After getting into the carriage today, he has been silent, and he is not happy to see the joy of entering Beijing, which is really surprising.

Xu Jinyu came back to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled: "When I get to the Weining Marquis Mansion, I want to be more submissive and quiet!" ”

Xu Zheng smiled, and his eyes showed apology: "I'm sorry, for my sake, I have to wronged you." "No matter how good the Weining Hou Mansion is, after all, it is under the fence. Xu Jinyu was obviously reluctant to live in the Hou Mansion, and for his own selfishness, he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Xu Jinyu saw that her brother looked apologetic and guilty, and secretly annoyed that she had lost her words, so she pretended to smile briskly: "Big brother, don't say that, I was ignorant and foolish before." What is there to be wronged about staying at my aunt's house. ”

Since he had already decided to go to the Weining Marquis Mansion, why did he show his reluctance again and make Xu Zheng and the Zou family sad?

Even if the Weining Hou Mansion is a tiger's den in Longtan, there is nothing to fear. She has all the memories of her previous life, and knows all the things and secrets in the Hou Mansion. This alone is enough to be invincible.

After making up her mind, Xu Jinyu also pretended to be happy and looked out of the carriage together, exclaiming from time to time. Zou was quite relieved to see that she was acting as usual.

Xu Zheng is not so easy to fool. He stared at his sister's smiling face, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.

He must take the imperial examination as soon as possible and embark on a career in office, and at that time, his sister and mother will no longer need to send people to watch other people's faces to live.

At noon, everyone had a hasty lunch in a restaurant, and then got into the carriage.

Towards evening, I finally arrived at the Weining Marquis Mansion
