After Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong said goodbye, they came all the way to the suburbs.

She vaguely remembered that Mr. Yan lived halfway up the mountain in the western suburbs, and she could get there in about half an hour if she walked along this road.

What will be written in the letter that I left for myself?

Could it be his own background...... Oh no, it should be Yan Zixi's life experience.

Born in the capital, is it still a family of eunuchs?

The more Yan Zixi thought about it, the more excited she became, and the pace under her feet gradually accelerated.

……

Half an hour later...... Yan Zixi came to the front of the courtyard, but was stopped by two boys guarding the door.

"Stop, Old Yan's residence, outsiders don't want to disturb!"

Yan Zixi looked at the two childish boys, squatted down, and touched their heads.

"Two little brothers, I'm not an outsider!"

"Who is that sister?"

"Well...... You just say that Yan Zixi, the second daughter of the Yan family, has something important to ask to see Mr. Yan. ”

The two boys glanced at each other when they heard this, and then there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, and they asked curiously.

"Are you Sister Yan Zixi?"

"It's me, what's the matter, do you know me?"

The two little boys nodded, "Master and his old man have been talking about your name since the last time they came back, and they have also explained to us, if you come, just invite you in." ”

Saying that, the two little boys pushed open the gate of the courtyard, "Sister Zixi, please come in!" ”

"Uh-huh, then thank you two little guys."

Yan Zixi thanked her and walked in.

After entering, a faint fragrance wafted over, and some flowers and plants were planted in the yard, which must have been planted by Yan Lao in his spare time.

Yan Zixi didn't stop, walked straight to the front of the house, and then knocked lightly on the door.

"Is Mr. Yan here? Yan Zixi, the little daughter of the Yan family, wants to meet you for something! ”

After waiting for a while, an old man's voice came from the house, "Come in." ”

Yan Zixi got Yan Lao's permission, gently pushed the door in, and saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on a futon fiddling with a few medicinal herbs.

Yan Zixi walked over, made a big salute, and knelt down in front of the white-haired old man.

"Meet Elder Yan!"

Old Mr. Yan raised his hand and said in that kind voice, "Get up, Zixi." ”

"Yes."

"Zixi, your old man already knows about it, I heard Yan Wenyuan say, you are leaving the Yan family?"

Yan Zixi nodded and replied, "Yes, Old Yan, I have already decided to leave the Yan family to see the outside world." ”

"Well, Yan Wenyuan told you, right? When your father picked you up in the capital, he still had a letter in his swaddling clothes. ”

"Yes, Zixi came here today to retrieve this letter." Yan Zixi explained his intention to Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan put down the herbs in his hand, slowly stood up, and then said to Yan Zixi: "You come with me." ”

Yan Zixi followed Mr. Yan into the inner hall in response, and Old Yan walked into his room and took out a delicate and simple box.

Mr. Yan put the box on the table, stretched out his trembling old hands and opened it.

Inside was a yellow swaddling swaddle, and underneath it was a letter that had been preserved for more than a decade.

"It's your stuff, you take it." Old Mr. Yan glanced at Yan Zixi and said to him.

Yan Zixi thanked her, and then carefully took out the swaddling clothes from the brocade box and held it in her hand for a while before picking up the letter.

"Old Yan, can I open this letter?" Yan Zixi raised her head and asked Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This letter was originally left for you, and you should open it." ”

Yan Zixi nodded, and then started to open the letter.

Because it was a few years, the seal of the envelope was not so strong, Yan Zixi easily opened the envelope, and then couldn't wait to take out the letter inside.

But as soon as she opened it, Yan Zixi was stunned.

This is not an ordinary letter at all, but a marriage letter.

The payment is the Zhenguo General's Mansion!

"Old Yan, is this letter really left for me?" Yan Zixi looked at Mr. Yan in surprise and asked.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Yan Zixi had no choice but to tell the truth: "This is not an ordinary family letter, but a marriage letter, saying that I have been engaged to the son of the current Zhenguo general since I was a child......"

"Oh, that's it?" Mr. Yan's old eyes lit up, and he also felt a little incredible.

Yan Zixi thought that Mr. Yan was well-informed and had been a doctor in the palace, so he hurriedly asked him to see if the seal was real.

After taking the letter and carefully identifying it for a while, Mr. Yan nodded, "Yes, this seal is indeed the seal of the General's Mansion, and it can't be wrong." ”

"But how is that possible...... I'm just an outcast, how could I ever be engaged to the general's son? ”

Mr. Yan smiled faintly, "Maybe the answer to this is only for you to go to the capital to find it......

"Well, it seems that I have to go to the capital, at least to figure out this marriage." Yan Zixi secretly made up her mind, and her next destination was to go to Beijing.

Although she also knows that the capital is unpredictable, she has to face it after all, and if she wants to find her life experience, she must return to the place where it all began.

Yan Zixi thanked Mr. Yan again, and then carefully put away the swaddling clothes and the marriage book, and then turned around and left.

When leaving, Mr. Yan reminded him again.

"Zixi, when you arrive in the capital, you can go to a doctor named Lin Haitong, maybe he can help you!"

"Thank you, Old Yan, Zixi remembered."

……

Leaving Mr. Yan's residence, Yan Zixi carried her luggage and prepared to go to the capital.

It's just that Ningcheng County is 108,000 miles away from the capital, and even if it takes several days to ride a horse all the way, Yan Zixi is not in a hurry, she plans to go north while enjoying this great river and mountain.

After all, it's hard to come here, and you have to go around after all.

But what worries Yan Zixi is that travel in ancient times was not so safe, not to mention ordinary roads, even on official roads, you can often encounter bandits and robbers, and if you don't make up your mind, you may ......

The more Yan Zixi thought about it, the more scared she became, she knew that when she met Xiao Jingcong just now, she was not so hard-mouthed, and she was coquettish with him, and let him take her to Beijing with her, wouldn't there be nothing.

"Alas, Xiao Jingcong, Xiao Jingcong, you are really a pig's head, you don't know the girl's mind at all......"

Yan Zixi complained, and walked into the post house in Ningcheng County, and was about to ask the boss there to buy a horse, but the boss ran over with a smile and asked.

"Dare to ask if this girl is the Yan Zixi girl of the Yan family?"

"Yes...... It's me, you know me? Yan Zixi took a few steps back and cautiously glanced at the innkeeper in front of her.

The innkeeper hurriedly spoke: "Miss Zixi, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, and I don't know you, it's just that someone has booked a first-class horse with us early, saying that Miss Zixi is here and must be handed over to you." ”

"What do you say? Has someone booked a horse for me, or is it superior? ”

"Yes, Miss Zixi, please come with me!"

The innkeeper led Yan Zixi to the stable, and quickly selected a first-class BMW horse for her.

"Miss Zixi, this horse is a bloody horse, it can travel thousands of miles a day, but it eats concentrate feed, you have to be careful, otherwise it will be strained halfway......"

"Yes, I see, you don't need to go into such detail." Yan Zixi frowned, and then asked again: "By the way, boss, do you remember what the person who booked the horse for me looked like, was it a man or a woman?" ”

The innkeeper showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "Miss Zixi, that person specially explained that we can't reveal his appearance, and ask Miss Zixi not to embarrass us, we are just collecting money to do things." ”

"Okay, got it, then I'll ...... this horse Rode away, huh? ”

Yan Zixi pointed to the sweaty BMW next to her and said to the post station owner.

"Haha, Miss Zixi, even if you ride it, I've already fed you enough feed to run to the next foothold."

"Okay, then thank you boss."

Yan Zixi thanked him, hung his luggage on the horse's back, and sat on the horseshoe with difficulty.

It's my first time riding a BMW!

Yan Zixi laughed secretly in her heart, fortunately, Yan Zixi's memory before had the experience of riding a horse, so after riding it for a while, she could do whatever she wanted.

All the way north along the official road, and finally before dark, Yan Zixi came to a small village.

Yan Zixi saw that it was not early, the sun was about to set, and she could only spend one night in this village today, and wait until dawn tomorrow to continue her journey.

Thinking so, Yan Zixi got off the horse and led the horse into the village.

But before Yan Zixi entered the village, those villagers ran away screaming as if they had seen a plague god.

Before Yan Zixi could figure out the situation, after a while, an old man in rags and linen clothes walked to the head of the village with more than a dozen sturdy men.

The old man glanced at Yan Zixi carefully, and circled around her a few more times, with a hint of suspicion on his face.

Yan Zixi was a little puzzled, so she asked strangely.

"Hey, old man, do you stare at a little girl like that? You don't respect the old for you, you know? ”

"Shhhhh

The old man suddenly came up to Yan Zixi and asked in a low voice.

"I'm from Ningcheng County, is there any problem?"

"Then have you heard that there is a miracle doctor in Ningcheng County recently called Yan Purple Cabbage?!"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded, "Ah, what are you calling it, Yan Zi...... Cuisine?! ”

"Village Chief, you are mistaken, the divine doctor is not called Yan Zicai, I remember that it seems to be called Yan Ziqi......" A young man with a hoe reminded in the back.

"Let your mother's dog stink, obviously I remember it was Yan Ziyang's ......," another man retorted.

"Impossible, it's Yan Ziqi'......"

"Yan Ziyang!"
