"Master—" A familiar voice broke Yang Muyun's hesitation.

A beautiful young woman with a peach bun walked towards her.

"Su Yue, is that you?" Yang Muyun exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong? Don't you know me? Su Yue smiled sweetly.

"No, you've become prettier, and I almost didn't recognize you." Yang Muyun said.

Su Yuexiu's face flushed, "Come in, Miss is still waiting for you!" ”

......

This is the best room in Tongfu Inn, with a bedroom, a study, and a living room.

In the study, Zhou Mengnan was wearing a light purple placket dress, leaning on a chair and reading a book quietly, her posture was so elegant and tranquil.

The door opened, and Yang Muyun walked in.

Zhou Mengnan put the book on the table and smiled at him shallowly.

"Sit down!" Slender Jade pointed to a chair next to her.

"I, I'll just stand!" I haven't seen her for a long time, and Yang Muyun looks a little restrained in front of her.

Zhou Mengnan smiled and stood up from the chair.

"Are you alright? Last time I received a letter from Master Ho, saying that you were injured? ”

"It's all right, don't worry."

"When Ning Xin came back, she told me that she met you in Luzhou, and you were in charge of protecting someone at that time, and then she separated from you......"

"I was running errands at the time, and it was inconvenient to ...... with her"

"Oh?"

The two of them asked and answered, and soon fell silent.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, are they okay?" Yang Muyun was the first to break the silence.

"My mom and dad are very good." Zhou Mengnan's eyes lit up, "I heard that you were promoted to an official in Nandu, and my father was very happy." ”

Without waiting for him to ask again, Zhou Mengnan preemptively said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very good, but I can't serve by their side, you ...... Will you blame me? ”

"As a son of man, I can't serve day and night, it's already unfilial, how can I blame it...... Lady, what about you? ”

Hearing him say the word lady, Zhou Mengnan's white cheeks seemed to be smeared with a thin layer of rouge.

"How are you doing? The last time I met Ning Xin, I heard her say that you went to Nanchang. ”

"Well, Prince Ning celebrates his seventieth birthday, and I will go to congratulate Prince Ning on his birthday instead of my father." Zhou Mengnan glanced at him, "Ning Wangfu has always been a big customer of our Zhou family's business, and our Zhou family can't help but go to Lord Ning's birthday." ”

"It's really hard for you, a girl runs around like a man, showing her head." Yang Muyun sighed.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it. It's ...... you" Zhou Mengnan's eyes became complicated, "How are you doing in Nandu?" She...... Is it good for you? ”

"What did you say?" Yang Muyun's body shook violently and looked at Zhou Mengnan. Her face was calm, and she didn't mean to ask for sin. "You know everything?"

Zhou Mengnan bowed slightly.

"I ...... Actually, it's nothing to do with her. Yang Muyun snorted, like a child who had made a mistake.

"She should have brought me a bowl of tea when you two were visiting." Zhou Mengnan's voice was very light, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Yang Muyun's head.

"She ......" Yang Muyun didn't know how to explain, he was confused when he visited the church.

"She's beautiful and versatile, isn't she?" Zhou Mengnan said leisurely. "But her personality is very sensitive, for fear that others will look down on her because she was born in a Qinglou."

"Lady-" Yang Muyun said abruptly, "How do I feel that you look like a brocade guard." ”

Zhou Mengnan smiled, smiling proudly.

"You think I'm going to be jealous? I can let Su Yue and Ning Xin serve you, do you care if there is another Qinglou woman by your side? ”

"That is, the lady is a person who does big things, how can she worry about me as a little person?" Yang Muyun said that he wanted to praise her a few words, but he was very lame.

"You men, you will never think that there are many women around you." Zhou Mengnan sighed lightly, she remembered her father.

"By the way, lady, why are you in Huai'an?" Yang Muyun wanted to change the topic.

"Huai'an has the largest salt farm in the imperial court, and I use a boat to sell the grain purchased from Jiangnan to the north, and then return here to load the salt and transport it to the provinces in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to sell." Zhou Mengnan said lightly.

"Who's that girl with you?"

"Her name is Yao Bichen, and she is the daughter of Yao Chuxi, the two Huai salt transport envoys, and the two Huai salt transport envoys are the highest officials in the salt transportation department of Huai'an Prefecture, and if I want to load salt on a boat, I must get salt from him."

"So you have to have a good relationship with Lord Yao's family." Yang Muyun suddenly understood why Zhou Mengnan was so affectionate with Yao Bichen's sister and sister.

"I'm thanking you for this." Zhou Mengnan smiled mysteriously.

"It has something to do with me, too?" Yang Muyun was surprised.

"In the past, when my father and I faced Lord Yao, Lord Yao was full of official shelves, and it was difficult to ask for more salt, since I told him that my man was a hundred households in Jinyi Weinan Town, he was polite every time he saw me." After that, he pursed his lips and smiled, looking very cute.

"That is, there are probably very few officials in the court who are not afraid of Jinyi Guard." Yang Muyun suddenly felt that his figure had become taller.

"Then what else does Lord Yang need to ask the little girl?" Zhou Mengnan asked playfully. The conversation between the two was no longer as restrained as it had been at the beginning.

"There is another question, how did you and Miss Yao go to that Ganlin Temple?" Yang Muyun finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Master Jin Chan of Ganlin Temple is a famous disciple of the Buddha, so Miss Yao took me to visit him."

"It's not easy to see him, it's hard to queue up!" Yang Muyun asked with concern.

"Snort-" Zhou Mengnan smiled, "That's a person who has no money, as soon as I donate the sesame oil money of a thousand taels of silver, won't that Jin Chan master get up and greet him!" ”

Yang Muyun's eyes widened and he was stunned.

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and it seems that money can also make Buddhas grind." Yang Muyun sighed: "One thousand taels, it's enough for me to receive a hundred months." ”

"That is, Xianggong is a decent person, and he hasn't learned the method of making money in the yamen." Zhou Mengnan's words don't know whether to praise him or hurt him.

"How is that Golden Zen Master? Isn't it as godlike as the legend suggests? ”

"I don't see it, but a pair of eyes are very dishonest, always looking at others." Zhou Mengnan said with a smile. "And he talks so much, and I want to go to him often to listen to his lectures!"

"Later, when I met you, Miss Yao had to go to a side door to see, was there anything in there that interested Miss Yao very much?"

"It's dark in there, I can't see anything clearly, maybe that's why Miss Yao is interested!"

After Yang Muyun listened, he muttered for a long time, it seems that there is indeed something strange in this temple.

"Xianggong, what are you thinking?" Zhou Mengnan woke him up from his contemplation.

"It's okay, lady, how long are you going to stay in Huai'an Mansion?" Yang Muyun asked.

"It's hard to say this," Zhou Mengnan pondered, "It depends on when the Huai salt can be installed, and when the salt introduction can be approved and released." ”

"Oh?"

"Xianggong, did you come to Huai'an specifically to handle the case?"

"If I say I'm here to play, do you believe it?" The corners of Yang Muyun's mouth hooked.

Zhou Mengnan's eyes narrowed: "Who believes that a brocade guard will come out to play alone?" ”

"No one believes it, but-" Yang Muyun stared at Zhou Mengnan: "I'm with my lady now, will anyone believe it." ”

————————

In the bustling crowd of people on Huailou Street in Zhenhuailou, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young couple, the man was handsome, the woman was gentle and beautiful, and they could be called a pair of beautiful people.

"Xianggong, what are you pulling me to this street for?" Zhou Mengnan's eyebrows curled slightly.

"I'm shopping with you! Don't you believe I'm here to play? Yang Muyun looked at her and smiled.

"Xianggong, let's go back. I'm not used to ......" Zhou Mengnan glanced at the pedestrians around her, with an unnatural expression on her face.

"Lady......" Yang Muyun looked into her eyes and said emotionally: "Do you remember what you said to me the night I left Huzhou?" ”

"What did I say?" Zhou Mengnan was a little confused.

"You said, when I went to Nandu, I asked me to bring you some things for the girl's family, but I have never fulfilled this promise." Yang Muyun looked serious.

"Xianggong, I've forgotten about this matter."

"But I haven't forgotten that if this promise is not fulfilled for a day, I always feel a debt to you." Yang Muyun took Zhou Mengnan's hand and walked towards the crowd.

————————

In front of an open-air jewelry shop, Yang Muyun was carefully inserting a chrysanthemum-shaped golden hairpin inlaid with rubies into Zhou Mengnan's bun.

"Is it pretty?" Zhou Mengnan asked uneasily.

"It's still better looking!" Yang Muyun praised.

"You're going to be flamboyant." Zhou Mengnan took a sip.

"Wear this again-" Yang Muyun took another orchid jade hosta and prepared to put it on for Zhou Mengnan.

"Boss, do you have a Tianhua here who just came in from Suzhou?" A woman's voice asked.

Yang Muyun looked at it when he heard the sound, and saw a few women dressed in fancy clothes, holding a fan in their hands, with heavy makeup on their faces, and they looked like happy women.

"Yes, yes—" the boss said busily, "Girls, please see, this jasper butterfly flower is a popular style in Suzhou this year, and even many women in Nandu wear it." ”

"Come, I'll see—" the girls scrambled to try to put it in their buns, "how?" Is it good-looking? They asked each other.

"Binong, you still look best when you wear it." Several female companions said in unison to one of the most beautiful women among them.

"Boss, how much does this Tian cost?"

"The girls are all regular customers of the trumpet, so I'll say the lowest price, thirty taels of silver." The boss had a cheerful look.

"It's expensive—" Binon said as she plucked the flower and put it back.

"Binong, you are the most popular in the entire Yicui Column, and now another big official has just wrapped up your field, what is this thirty taels of silver to you?" A female companion next to her said.

"Little hoof, you're crazy, you're talking about this in public......"

......

"Xianggong, I'm tired and don't want to try anymore, let's go back!" Zhou Mengnan's face was a little unhappy.

Yang Muyun knew that she didn't want to be in the same room with these happy women, and was about to speak, only to hear an "ouch", he looked up and saw that a young man with clear eyebrows was in a hurry when he walked, stumbled under his feet, and fell under the feet of the group of happy women.

"Why don't you look at it?" Binong frowned in disgust and covered her face with a fan.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" the teenager bowed repeatedly. He took a few steps back, and then hurried away.

Looking at the young man's disappearing back, Yang Muyun showed a strange color.

"Lady, you wait for me here for a while, I'll come when I have something to do." As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared into the hurried flow of people.

In a secluded alley. A fair-eyed young man took out a rose-colored money bag from his arms, untied the bag, took out a silver ingot from it, checked it in his hand, and threw the silver in the air with a smug smile on his face.

But he soon found that he couldn't laugh, and a handsome scholar crossed his arms and stood in front of him with a smile.

The boy's smile froze, like a lake that suddenly froze. The scholar gradually approached him, and he realized the danger, quickly took the money bag into his arms, turned and ran. Before he could take a few steps, the scholar stopped in front of him with a smile and a groan.

Is this man a ghost? How can you do it so quickly? The boy turned around again, and as soon as he moved his legs, he found the scholar again......

"Are you still running?" The scholar looked at the stunned young man in front of him and said leisurely.

"Don't run away, this bag of silver is for you, I just ask the uncle to let go of the small one." The boy gasped and put his hand in his arms.

A cold light stabbed at the scholar's chest fiercely and fiercely, and the young man took out not a money bag from his arms, but a sharp dagger.

When the dagger plunged into the scholar's chest, the scholar disappeared like air.

The young man was stunned, only to feel a pain in his wrist, his palm was choked, and then he was strangled by someone's backhand, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Ahh

"Uncle spares his life, uncle spares the little one!" The boy fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

The scholar snorted coldly, raised his hand, and threw him out.

The young man hurriedly got up, took out the money bag from his arms, and respectfully offered it.

The scholar stretched out his hand to take it, checked it, and said coldly: "Get out, let me meet you again, and I will abolish you." ”

"Uncle Xie, the little one doesn't dare anymore." The boy stepped back again and again, turned around and ran on the ground.

————————

"Lady-" Yang Muyun hurried back, "Huh? What about the women? ”

"They're all gone." Zhou Mengnan asked, "Xianggong, where did you go just now?" Why did you go in such a hurry. ”

"Oh, it's okay, lady, let's go back!" Yang Muyun touched the bag of silver in his arms.
