With the flow of the tide, Zhao Xing pressed the handle of the embroidered spring knife out of the hundred households, and saw that the brothers did not go to the jurisdiction as in the past, dutifully investigating rumors to maintain law and order in the streets and alleys, but a group of three and five gangs did not disperse, muttering in whispers there, not full of uncertain worries about the future.

Zhao Xing didn't have a partner here, so he didn't want to stay longer, and he was embarrassed if he didn't come, so he walked out.

The sun had risen, the city gates had been opened, camel riders, carriages, horses and pedestrians outside the city had begun to enter the city to make a living, and the shops on both sides of the street were also a chaotic sound of safety boards. On the streets, the sound of acquaintances who got up early to say hello to each other, the shouts of shopkeepers who began to solicit business, the sound of the wife scolding the apprentice for being lazy, and the singing and selling sound of the street vendors in the streets and alleys converged together, so that the screams of the beggars who were still full of people and beggars in the streets and alleys at night disappeared and were replaced by a peaceful vitality.

Today's holiday, Zhao Xing has no friends and relatives to move around in the capital, and there is nothing to do when he goes home, so he walked aimlessly, and when he looked up, he was not far from the restaurant where he was working. In fact, from the attitude of today's hundred households, it has been announced that the retrenchment of Jinyiwei will begin ten days later, although it is not explicitly said, but the people's hearts have been dispersed, everyone can go home directly to pick up the child, and there is no need for them to go to work again.

Zhao Xing looked around boredly, but saw Xiufen, who was supposed to supervise the cleaning of the guys in the lobby, at the door of the restaurant where he was on duty, was standing under the porch of the plaque and looking around, his face full of expectation. When she saw Zhao Xing, she paused, and then raised her hand to wave at Zhao Xing. I didn't say anything, but the anticipation was palpable.

Zhao Xing couldn't say that he was in love with Xiufen, but after a long time, Xiufen was overflowing with his feelings towards himself. So he smiled slightly and walked towards Xiufen.

Walking closer, Zhao Xing greeted Xiufen with a smile: "Morning, girl." ”

Xiufen pursed her lips and smiled: "The sun is getting high, it's still early, but you're late." ”

Zhao Xing laughed: "Originally, from today onwards, I don't have to come, I'm just passing by." Zhao Xing opened his eyes and said nonsense. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash in the corner of his coat behind the door, which was the corner of the shopkeeper's robe.

Xiufen smiled at Zhao Xingyan: "Nonsense, isn't your family the opposite of ours here?" ”

The nonsense was exposed, Zhao Xing touched his nose in embarrassment, but he couldn't help but move in his heart, often inadvertently following his feelings, what he wanted to go to was not somewhere, but the people in that place, of course he would not have any good feelings for the snarky shopkeeper, but subconsciously for this spicy and bold Xiufen.

Unsure of his thoughts, so Zhao Xing stood under the porch without a word and said some gossip, it was not some interesting things in the past, Xiufen didn't want to stop, Zhao Xing didn't mean to leave, but there was a hazy and ambiguous reluctance of a little man and woman.

Also, Zhao Xing is eighteen this year, Xiufen is sixteen this year, it is the season when love is beginning to bloom. Although Zhao Xing's real age is in his thirties, this body still matches most of the thinking that determines this body.

Talking and talking, in fact, the two of them have forgotten what they were talking about at the time, some are clichés I don't know how many times, some are born with the scene, but the most are speechless. With the passage of such a salty topic, I unconsciously talked about the current situation.

"Brother Zhao Xing, what are your plans in the future?"

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, and only then did he remember that Jinyiwei was about to enlarge the fake, of course, he didn't want to mix in Jinyiwei and ruin his reputation.

rejected the little fat man's kind arrangement, of course, because he didn't want to die for the upcoming war, and died unjustly.

Then, he was really laid off and cut off his income.

Although the mother is thrifty, her own money, and according to the rules, Jinyiwei maintained this jurisdiction when they were clever and arrogant, such as the monthly share of the Xiufen family's money, everyone is distributed according to the grade, and there is still a little surplus, but there are not many low-grade people like themselves, in this imperial capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where prices are expensive, it can't last long. I really have to find a way to make a living.

was asked like this, at that time, Zhao Xing didn't want to escape from the war in the north and go to the south to avoid trouble: "If this errand is really gone, I will take my little sister to the south, after all, it is easier to live in the south, when the time comes, my mother's old cold legs can also get some support, and my little sister will be more handsome, I am ready to train my little sister into a fair lady, and marry a good family in the future, a pretty look, and a dowry that can be handled, all need money, so, No matter how you look at it, it is easier to go to the south to earn a living than to live in the north. ”

Hearing this, Xiufen's originally ruddy and joyful expression immediately froze on her face, and she covered her mouth tightly with her little hand, revealing infinite grief and sorrow.

"Can you not go?" After a long time, Xiufen lowered her head and stirred her fingers, her voice was as low as a mosquito, but this sentence sounded in Zhao Xingdan's ears like thunder.

yes, can you not go? But the north is about to end in trouble, the court is about to be chaotic, the wild boar skin is about to destroy the surroundings of Beijing, countless refugees, countless chaotic armies, will make the emperor ruined, and finally fall into the hands of the rogues, he has the foresight, why stay here? And the reason I just explained to Xiufen, isn't it quite sufficient?

But, isn't Xiufen's sentence of not leaving, the most powerful reason to stay?

Just when Zhao Xing was in a daze, a stern shout came from the door: "Everyone is busy and doesn't occupy an area, you dead girl, why don't you come back to help?" ”

Xiufen raised her head and looked at Zhao Xing, tears were already flashing in her eyes, and then she dropped a sentence: "Can you not leave?" He turned around and ran away into the hall, leaving Zhao Xingmu in a daze, his head in chaos.
