"Suzhou is not as good as Chang'an Jiangnan, it has just been built but Jiazi, in fact, there is nothing worth visiting. The one in front is called Linglong Street, which is intended to be connected from end to end to form a closed loop, echoing with Huanfeng Street on the coast of South Vietnam, and occupying these two places can be regarded as the unification of the world......"

On the streets of Suzhou, foreign merchants led camels and horses through the market, and various accents came and went.

Xu Buling walked in front and introduced the local customs with a smile.

Cui Xiaowan's hair was still wet, so she walked behind to take a look, but her mind was not on the surrounding buildings at all.

As one of the eight kui, Cui Xiaowan has an excellent appearance, just out of the bath, her cheeks are smooth and crispy, white and flawless, the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow without powder, her body is like a weak willow supporting the wind, and with a little bit of softness that I see pity, it is quite eye-catching. However, the 'Zhaohong Yimei' who has brought disaster to the country and the people is in front, but there is no one who does not have long eyes and passers-by dare to look at him.

The two of them walked for a while, Xu Buling talked for a long time, but he didn't see Cui Xiaowan responding, and he was a little short of words, so he stopped talking.

Cui Xiaowan found an opportunity to interject at this time, and said, "Hey, why does the queen mother call me 'Xiaobai'?" ”

Xu Buling's cold and extraordinary expression froze, his eyes were slightly weird, and he explained softly:

"Hmm...... Xiaobai's meaning means that you don't understand anything, Xiang'er cares about you...... That's probably it......"

Cui Xiaowan saw that Xu Buling didn't tell the truth, but she didn't ask in detail, and continued:

"The queen mother is also your woman, right? I just saw you come in with her in your arms, and your skirt was torn open, and you are so bold. ”

Xu Buling nodded: "This is a long story, Xiang'er saved my life in Chang'an, so I took her out of the palace, you know, the palace is not a place for people to stay." ”

Cui Xiaowan empathized with this, and glanced at Xu Buling:

"Why do you have so many women?"

“……”

How do I answer that......

Xu Buling thought for a moment and smiled peacefully:

"According to the ancient rites, for the emperor, there are four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, eighty-one wives, and the princes and kings are halved, I will only have these few, not much, right?"

“……”

Cui Xiaowan frowned, thought for a while, and felt that it made sense. According to this method, it is indeed not much, and among the emperors and generals, it is relatively single-minded; Even Song Ji, who is full of power and does not pretend to women, has more than a dozen concubines in the harem, not counting palace maids. There are few princes in the world who can be as infatuated as King Su Xu You to the point of turning white overnight.

"When I was in the canyon, I thought you weren't a good woman."

Xu Buling spread his hands: "Eating color is also out of affection and courtesy." I...... I'm just. ”

Cui Xiaowan thought that Xu Buling was going to tell a lot of reasons, but she didn't expect to admit it directly, she smiled:

"You're so honest."

"If you marry everything, it's not self-deception to find some excuses not to be confused by beauty."

"Then you want to take me out of the canyon, do you also like me?"

“……”

Xu Buling's expression became more serious, and he shook his head and said: "That's not true, at that time, I saw that Miss Cui lived alone in the canyon, and there was not even a figure within a radius of dozens of miles, so if she was sick or something, something would happen to her." Although I don't know each other, I can't turn a blind eye when I eat your food and live for two days, so I can't get over it with my conscience. Later, you refused to leave, and I was actually quite worried......"

Cui Xiaowan's eyebrows curled: "I know you must be worried, so I came over." ”

Xu Buling's footsteps paused, turned his head and glanced at Cui Xiaowan, seeing that his eyes were pure and immaculate with some childishness, he didn't go to his heart, but just smiled lightly.

Cui Xiaowan walked side by side on the bluestone path and continued:

"You tell me the poems you know, I don't like to read books the most and see half of them gone, when I was a child, I turned over some fragments at home, and I was fascinated by it, and suddenly it was gone, and I couldn't sleep for half a month......

Xu Buling felt the same way: "The broken dog is really hated." But I don't remember many poems, since you came to Suzhou, then the days will be long, let me tell you about the books you have read, the legend of the White Snake, Liang Zhu, Jin Shui Mei or something......"

Cui Xiaowan naturally did not refuse: "Don't talk about uncomfortable things, you have to sound happy." Those sour Xiucai who are worried about giving new words always like to write about life and death, and giving their wives to others, which is particularly uncomfortable to watch. ”

"That's ...... nature"

……

Talking and laughing, the two came to a small teahouse.

Xu Buling picked a table by the window and sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and talked about "The Romance of the White Snake" seriously, although I don't remember all of it, but I probably still know the plot, and I have adapted and supplemented it when I told it to Jiujiu, and it was easy to talk about it at this time.

When Cui Xiaowan was with someone she didn't hate, she was very friendly, sitting across the table, supporting her cheek with one hand, listening carefully to Xu Buling's eloquent narration, and sometimes asking a few words she didn't understand.

And in the distance of the tea pipe, on the roof of the street.

Father-in-law Jia, who was dressed in a cloth robe, stood quietly with his hands on his sleeves, looking at the teahouse with dim eyes.

Seeing the scene of men and women sitting opposite each other at the table, Father-in-law Jia was a little stunned at this time, and understood why Cui Xiaowan left Peach Blossom Valley on a whim.

A snowman is a snowman after all, no matter how similar it is, it won't run around, but after all, it is a dead thing, and it can't be by your side for a lifetime.

In February, the spring breeze dawns, and the snowman in the canyon may have melted in this spring breeze.

If Cui Xiaowan was still in the canyon, sitting at the table at this moment, all she could see was a densely sewn white robe, and she wouldn't even have the opportunity to admire the peach blossoms with the snowman.

And now, men and women sit at the small table, except for the very different scenes, but the artistic conception is exactly the same as in the small courtyard of the farmhouse.

Isn't that man in a white robe a snowman sitting on a stool......

-----

The long street is full of people, the spring day in the sky falls into the sand sea in the west, and the time gradually arrives in the afternoon.

In the tea shop, men and women still sit opposite each other on both sides of the small table, and there are several plates of melon seeds and snacks on the table.

Cui Xiaowan listened carefully, took the melon seeds and gently peeled them off with her hands, put them on a plate, and after piling up a small plate, she pushed them in front of Xu Buling, which was regarded as a reward for listening to the book.

Xu Buling drank a pot of tea and said that his mouth was dry, but Cui Xiaowan listened with great interest, and he naturally didn't want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition', and still told the story with emotion.

It's just that there are more than two people in this world after all, and what we have to do is not just to tell stories quietly.

When Xu Buling was talking about 'the white lady drank the realgar wine, and Xu Xian lifted the curtain', a post envoy suddenly galloped by on the street, with an urgent yellow flag of 800 miles on his back.

Suzhou is an important border town, the people are the descendants of the family members of the founding soldiers of Jiazi, the understanding of the post envoy is far beyond the hinterland of the Central Plains, seeing this posture, you know that Chang'an City is coming to the urgent news, either to send troops to fight, or to transfer troops into the king of Jingqin.

Xu Buling saw the envoy and quickly stood up:

"Miss Cui, the court has come to order, I am the prince of King Su, I have to be present to listen to the announcement, let's go back."

Cui Xiaowan was a little angry when she heard the critical moment, and she wanted to throw the melon seed shell on the face of the messenger. However, although Cui Xiaowan has a different personality, she still knows the major rights and wrongs, and she did not interfere with Xu Buling's business at this time, so she stood up and smiled softly:

"you, I'll just go back by myself, I know the way."

？？

Xu Buling blinked, but before he could respond, a figure fell from the window.

Gonggong Jia stood at the window and smiled lightly: "The saint was fooled into the Xiliang army to enter the customs to quell the rebellion, the prince should be busy, and the old slave can take care of Miss Cui." ”

Xu Buling was also relieved to see this, raised his hand and saluted, and walked out of the tea shop.

Cui Xiaowan stood at the window and thought for a while: "You're done, remember to come over and finish the story, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”

Xu Buling knew that Cui Xiaowan had a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely finish speaking, Jiujiu also knows, if you can't help it, you can find Dabai...... Ahem, find Ning Yuhe, and let her take you to Jiujiu. ”

Cui Xiaowan was a little unhappy: "The story depends on who tells it, and if you tell the same thing by another person, the taste will change." ”

"Got it."

Xu Buling nodded, turned around and walked towards the palace.

Father-in-law Jia stood outside the window, watching Xu Buling go away, and suddenly said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince has entered the Guanzhong, but can he return it?"

Xu Buling's footsteps paused, and he turned back a little inexplicably: "How did Father-in-law Jia know that I was leading the troops into the customs?" ”

Father-in-law Jia laughed: "Watching the saint grow up, the saint knows a little bit of his thoughts." ”

Xu Buling suddenly, thought about it, and quipped: "This time, I'm afraid I will lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and I will come back naturally after the fight, and I can't learn from Dong Zhuo to stay in Chang'an and not leave." With that, he flew up and disappeared between the buildings.

Father-in-law Jia was slightly puzzled, and turned his head to look at Cui Xiaowan: "Who is Dong Zhuo?" The old slave hadn't heard of it. ”

Cui Xiaowan thought for a while: "The big villain in "The Han Dynasty", I heard him talk about it, he is also a feudal official in Xiliang who supports the army and respects himself, and King Qin of Beijing killed ten eunuchs, and then relied on not fornicating the palace to harm all the emperor's women...... Same with him. ”

Father-in-law Jia pondered for a moment and frowned slightly:

"It's a matter of killing the eunuch, but fortunately the old slave left early......"
