Bu Wu looked at Qing Shu with a surprised face, "There is such a mountain." It is in the northeast of Huizhou, but it is not on the border of Huizhou. It is located in a desolate and barren place in the east of Tuzhou, towering like a cloud, stretching for thousands of miles. This mountain is named Snow Mountain because the snow does not melt all year round. The snow-capped mountains are famous for their cold and steep seasons. This side of the mountain is the territory of my Da'an, and the other side of the mountain is the territory of the Chu State. This mountain and the Meidai River are the natural dividing line between Da'an and Chu. ”

Qing Shu pressed the excitement in his heart, "Can Tuzhou have the industry of the fifth brother?" ”

Bu Wu didn't hide it from her, "The fifth brother in the largest city in Tuzhou opened a restaurant. ”

Qingshu has limited knowledge about Tuzhou, so he naturally has to ask clearly, "Has the fifth brother been to the Snow Mountain?" Is your industry in Tuzhou close to the snow-capped mountains? ”

Bu Wu said, "I have never been to the Snow Mountain, and the largest city in Tuzhou is in the middle of Tuzhou, far away from the Snow Mountain. Sister, why do you want to inquire about the snowy mountains? It is very cold all year round, the snow does not melt all year round, and even under the mountain, the summer is only about half a month. There are hundreds of miles below the mountain, and there are no people at all except for the soldiers who defend the territory. ”

Qing Shu asked carefully, "Fifth brother, if anyone dares to go to the Snow Mountain to explore, can they go up to the Snow Mountain casually?" ”

"In the past, some people went into the mountains to hunt rare birds, and some people went into the mountains to hunt for treasures. However, the rare birds were not hunted, and the treasures were not found, and the people who entered the mountains basically could not get out of the snow-capped mountains alive. In the short summer of the year, the soldiers stationed at the pass would go into the mountains to search, but they would not go too far and simply carry the bones out of the mountains. If no one came to claim the bones, the soldiers buried them at the foot of the mountain. This happened a lot, people began to fear the snowy mountains, and no one dared to enter the snowy mountains again. In recent years, only the garrison has gone into the mountains in the summer to conduct a routine search. Sister Qingshu, Snow Mountain is a place where people have no return, what do you ask it for? ”

"Meaning, the garrison doesn't stop people from entering the mountains?"

"If it had been more than 20 years ago, the garrison would not have prevented the people from entering the mountains."

"What do you mean? Don't you let the people into the mountains now? ”

"Yes. It is reported that more than 20 years ago, many people were forced to go into the mountains in order to make a living. But it is difficult for one out of a hundred people to come out alive. At that time, the young eldest princess heard about this from somewhere, so she knelt outside the imperial study and begged the first emperor to issue an edict to prohibit the people from entering the snow-capped mountains. The first emperor scolded the eldest princess, but soon after, the garrison under the snow-capped mountain no longer allowed the people to enter the mountain. Slowly, I don't know when, there was a kind of saying among the people, saying that the snow-capped mountains were an ominous place, and those who trespassed died. Since then, there is no need for the garrison to chase after him, and no one dares to enter the snow-capped mountains again. Occasionally, those who sneak into the mountains never return. This made the people more convinced by the rumors, and no one came close to the snowy mountains anymore. ”

Qing Shu was extremely disappointed, it seemed that she was too naïve. She said goodbye to Buwu and took Qingyang and them back to Chen's mansion. Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong slept on the bed. Sheng Ge woke up from sleep, didn't pester Qingshu, and went to pester his father.

That night, when Bu Wu and Zhou Boyan were drinking together, they mentioned that Qingshu asked him about the Snow Mountain.

Zhou Boyan put down his wine glass, "What is she doing in Snow Mountain?" ”

Bu Wu poured him a full wine, "I asked her, and she didn't say." However, she seemed disappointed when she heard that she was not allowed to enter the mountain. ”

Zhou Boyan immediately said, "I guess I'm thinking about something again, it's not peaceful at all, and it's always reassuring." ”

Bu Wu had a look of ridicule on his face, "I'm afraid it's only you who can't rest assured." ”

"Probably!" Zhou Boyan didn't refute, but his face was not very good, and his feelings were a little low.

Step Five was surprised, "What's going on?" How is this expression? ”

Zhou Boyan shook his head, "It's fine." Then the conversation changed, "I heard that you went back to Jinyang City this time to take refuge." ”

Step Five shook his head for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Maybe!" ”

Zhou Boyan raised his glass, "Congratulations to our No. 1 talent in Da'an for stepping out of love and successfully surviving the fateful peach blossom catastrophe." ”

Step Five scolded with a smile, "you." If you have time to sit here and make fun of me, it is better to trap your restless girl earlier, so as to save you a lot of long nights. ”

Zhou Boyan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

The two of them drank for more than a quarter of an hour, and when they had three points of wine, they dispersed.

When Bu Wu sent Zhou Boyan out, he said seriously as if he was joking, "If you hadn't made no secret of your imperative for her, I'm afraid that many people would compete for her." ”

Zhou Boyan, who was walking out, stopped and turned back with a puzzled expression.

Bu Wu stood there with his hands behind his back, the sky was not yet dark, the light of the lantern hanging above his head had not yet been fully exerted, and the shadows around him were not very clear. His tone was very calm, "Taishi Zhong knelt down and asked the Empress Dowager to marry Sister Qingshu for his grandson. If it weren't for the Holy Lord's timely stopping, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager's decree would have arrived at this time. ”

Zhou Boyan turned around expressionlessly, "Thank you." ”

Looking at the back of Zhou Boyan striding away, Bu Wu sighed. If there was no Zhou Boyan, perhaps, he would have listened to the opinions of his mother and sister, and would really marry Gu Qingshu. After all, it is rare to see such a vigorous and resilient and kind woman. The warrior family is forever inseparable from bloodshed and sacrifice; The martial arts family needs a tenacious wife, not a beautiful girl who can only be held in the palm of her hand. Thinking of her bright and smiling eyes, he turned and entered the restaurant.

Zhou Boyan returned to the mansion, washed up, let Gu Shi go out, blew out the oil lamp himself, and sat on the edge of the bed in the dark thinking about what Bu Wu mentioned. Snow Mountain, Qingshu inquired about what Snow Mountain does? Taishi Zhong, and the Queen Mother, what do they want to do?

On the second day, Qingshu went out to the Guji bun shop. Mr. Lu also made arrangements, he brought three disciples, as well as Xiao Shengge, to visit the largest academy in Jinyang City, Wenjie Academy.

Qing Shu didn't stay in Guji for a long time, and then went to several dart games. Every time he went to a dart bureau, Qingshu himself would stay in the car, and then send someone to ask the dart bureau if he could walk the dart of the snow mountain, and if he did not enter the mountain, he would only go to the pass of the garrison. The answer is the same, don't take the dart of the snowy mountain. Later, she inquired if any caravan had gone to the camp of the Snow Mountain garrison, or if no one had got.

Qingshu felt regretful and had to give up in the end. Leaving Jinyang City tomorrow, Qingshu decided to spend the remaining half a day on shopping and shopping. Most women spend their energy and money on rouge gouache, beautiful and delicate fabrics, or gold and silver jewelry. Qingshu was not among the ranks of most women, she only entered one rouge shop, bought a box of high-quality rouge for herself, and then chose six medium-sized boxes of rouge, and after some haggling, bought the selected seven boxes of rouge at almost a seven-percent discount.

Then, Qingshu began to visit grocery stores, rice grain shops, vegetable shops, craftsmen's shops, and so on. It wasn't until Xiao Yu reminded him that it was not too early, and Qing Shu gave up and prepared to go back to Chen's mansion.

Lily of the valley glanced at Gu Shishi, who was following them with his head drooping, "Miss, what should Brother Shi do?" ”

Gu Shishi was excited, thinking that someone finally remembered him.

Qingshu didn't look at him, returned to the carriage, and was helped into the carriage by Xiaojuan.

Seeing this, Lily of the Valley didn't dare to look up to the stone anymore, and put the things she was holding in her hand on the carriage.

At this time, ten guards stepped forward, escorted the carriage that Qing Shu was riding in the middle, and escorted them all the way to the gate of Chen's mansion, and then prepared to go back.

Qing Shu suddenly lifted the corner of the curtain and said to the guards who were about to leave, "Go back and tell your master and let him die." ”

The guards bowed their heads and walked away quickly.

Qing Shu snorted and lowered the curtain.

Ding Jiabao waved his hand, and Li Dalang led the carriage to enter the gate of the Chen Mansion.

"Wait, wait, miss, miss, please wait......"

Ding Jiabao motioned to Li Dalang to leave it alone, then turned around and strode over to stop people, "Lady of the Zhang family, this is not the place you should come, hurry back." ”

Xiaojuan also came over to stop, "Lady of the Zhang family, don't be embarrassed, hurry up and go away." ”

Mrs. Zhang was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and she was a little thinner than before. She was wiping her tears at the moment, "Miss Xiaojuan, steward Ding, okay, okay, okay, let me see Miss, please." ”

Xiao Juan's face was impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, get out of here." It's not uncommon for someone like you to be ungrateful, but it's rare to be cheeky enough to come to the door even after doing something ungrateful. ”

Mrs. Zhang's face was pale and pale, but she still didn't give up, "Miss Xiaojuan is good, Steward Ding is good, let me meet Miss, please." Miss scolded and scolded, and beaten, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, let me go back to work, please. The two of them who are in charge and Da Mao have to work for three years to resist this mistake, and we admit this punishment. However, I have to go to work, I have to earn money to support my family! In the next three years, the head of the family and Da Mao couldn't get any of them, and Ermao was also resigned. I have to work, I have to work to feed a family of four, do well, please, please......"

Xiaojuan was not happy to hear it, "Zhang family lady, do you want to be shameless?" You are ungrateful, I won't say anything about you when you eat inside and out, I didn't expect that your skin can be thick like this! , don't let your aunt see you again. I didn't send you to the official, there are reasons, one is that Master Zhang has a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and the other is that Master Zhang took the initiative to promise to take Da Mao to work for three years to repay the losses in the shop. With all this, the young lady decided to open the net and let you go. Don't be ignorant. If you dare to make trouble unreasonably, your family of four will have to go to the official. ”

Zhang Niangzi was dumbfounded.

Ding Jiabao also drove people away, "Get out, if you don't get out, someone will come out and beat you away." ”

Mrs. Zhang covered her face, cried and turned around and ran away.

Xiaojuan and Ding Jiabao didn't prepare to enter Chen's mansion until Zhang Niangzi ran away without a trace.

"Brother Ding, wait a minute, Brother Ding, wait a minute, something happened in the house......" With the sound of galloping horses' hooves, a familiar voice shouted loudly.
