Xuzhou belongs to the east and west of the east and west roads, the terrain is flat, the water source is vast, it is the grain production state of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a canal Bianqu that leads directly to Bianliang City.

Every autumn harvest season, a considerable part of the tax collected from the counties will be sent to Bianliang along the Bianqu. And this year, the first year of Xuanhe, is the most crowded period in Bianqu. The number of boats is much higher than in previous years, one after another sailing towards Bianliang, and the traffic is endless.

In the city of Xuzhou, or in the city of Peng. After exchanging the existing business and future development plans in the city with Wang Youde, the young lady of the Su family, Su Wan, prepared to leave.

Wang Luoyan wanted to pack her luggage, Su Wan left the old six and eight to her as guards, and she led Uncle Fang and the others to leave the palace first.

When I returned to the boat in my own building, I saw Xu Ziling and a few people who were separated a few days ago.

Ming Xia in the boat looked at Su Wan dressed in magnificent clothes and walked in with great momentum, a little envious.

But when she saw Su Wan, who was wearing gold and silver, she was graceful and luxurious, and joked to her: "I haven't seen you for two or three days, how did Miss Li end up like this, like a mountain village girl?" ”

In order to escape Liangshan's pursuit, Mingxia and the others only brought a set of clothes, and they never had a chance to change them, and it did seem to be a little dirty at this time, especially Xu Ziling, there was a large cyan patch behind the white robe.

After listening to Su Wan's joking words, the maid wanted to refute, but she was a little shocked by her momentum and didn't dare to speak. Next to him, Ming Xia chuckled: "I met some thieves before, and in order to escape from their pursuit, I made a little embarrassed." ”

When Su Wan heard this, she glanced at Xu Ziling, and looked down on him even more. This person just won the favor of Ming Xia with the childish jokes of his childhood, but he couldn't even give stability, and he really wasn't a person worth entrusting for life.

Thinking that Wang Luoyan still had some time to come, Su Wan said to Ming Xia: "I think there will be some time before I can leave, you go to the city to buy some clothes." ”

Ming Xia nodded, called Xu Ziling and Yue'er, and prepared to go to the city to buy some clothes.

But I heard Xu Ziling suddenly say: "Mingxia, you and Yue'er go first, I have something to say to Miss Su, and I'll come over after I finish speaking." ”

Ming Xia nodded, and left the Su family building boat with Yue'er.

Su Wan looked at Xu Ziling and said lightly: "What does Xu Shaoxia have to say?" ”

Xu Ziling carried the burden and said: "Miss Su has been in the shopping mall for a long time, there are many doors and wide roads, I have an item I want Miss Su to help me find a buyer, and I am willing to give Miss Su 20% of the income." ”

Su Wan was a little interested and asked, "What do you need to hide from Miss Li and let me sell it for you?" ”

Xu Ziling took out a clay pot from his baggage, put it on the table, and said, "This is it." ”

Su Wan waved her hand, and the fifth child next to her came over and opened the jar. Lao Wu glanced at it and said in surprise: "Miss, it's a sky blue blue, it's a rare thing, Brother Xu is really lucky." As he spoke, he moved the cricket jar in front of Su Wan.

Circulating in various street markets all year round, Su Wan naturally knows some ways to promote weaving, and after a few glances in the jar, she was also a little surprised, but in a blink of an eye, she returned to her plain appearance.

"Since it's not an unsightly thing, why do you want to sell it from Miss Li?" Su Wan asked.

Xu Ziling's face was a little hot, touched his nose, and said, "There are my reasons for this, Miss Su directly said yes or no?" ”

Su Wan nodded lightly: "I can help you find a buyer, but twenty percent of the income is what you said." ”

Xu Ziling said excitedly: "A word is a decision, and I will never regret it." ”

Su Wan glanced up at him and bowed slightly.

After the decision was made, Xu Ziling left the building boat and went to look for Mingxia.

Looking at the back of his departure, Su Wan felt even more sorry for Ming Xia, this young man surnamed Xu was just discouraged, and he found a good cricket, but he wanted to sell it behind her back, thinking that he was afraid that Ming Xia would covet his money.

Thinking about it, Su Wan felt that Ming Xia would have to talk to her when she came back for a while, hoping that she could recognize Xu Ziling's true face and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, so as not to miss her life.

On the street, Ming Xia took Yue'er to walk around for a while, only to find that her money was all in Xu Ziling's, and the poison in Xu Ziling was too mysterious to explain, so she had to tell Yue'er that she had lost her money bag.

Fortunately, Yue'er still has a dozen taels of silver on her, but she can buy some ordinary clothes. However, there were very few ready-to-wear shops in this era, and most of them bought fabrics and tailor-made clothes. So the two of them shopped for a long time and didn't find the clothes they liked.

After a while, Xu Ziling chased after him and walked around with the two girls. After half an hour, the three of them bought some clothes in a big tailor's shop, all of which were plain clothes, which were not worth much, but Xu Ziling asked the maid Yue'er to pay the bill on the grounds that she forgot to bring her money bag, which made her roll her eyes.

When she went out of the city gate, a woman in black passed by Xu Ziling, Xu Ziling glanced at her, she happened to glance at Xu Ziling, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then parted ways.

The woman's face was neat and neat, and her face was ordinary, but Xu Ziling felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it. And after the woman and Xu Ziling missed it, they also stopped for a while, turned their heads and glanced at Xu Ziling's back.

After returning to the building, the three of them each found a room and changed their clothes.

When a few people gathered in the main hall of the building boat again, it happened that the old six and eight led Wang Luoyan into the building boat.

As soon as he said goodbye to his father, Wang Luoyan, who was a little lost, saw Xu Ziling, and when he saw Xu Ziling, he was overjoyed, and said with a happy face: "Young Master Xu, why are you here?" ”

Xu Ziling didn't expect to see her on this boat, but it was not easy to answer her question, so he laughed dryly twice and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." As he spoke, he introduced to Ming Xia: "This is the girl Wang I told you before." ”

Seeing Xu Ziling introduce himself to the woman beside him, Wang Luoyan's expression of joy dimmed a little, glanced at Ming Xia, and asked, "Is she the sister you said you went south to look for?" ”

Looking at the bright-eyed girl in front of her, Ming Xia felt a little surprised, and replied: "Yes, Sister Wang, although Ziling went south to find me, he let me find him first." ”

The simple-minded girl looked at the beautiful Ming Xia in front of her, and although she was a little bitter in her heart, she still smiled: "Xu Gongzi can have such a beautiful and moving childhood sweetheart as his sister, which is enviable." ”

Seeing the girl's innocent appearance, those strange thoughts in Ming Xia's heart suddenly disappeared, stepped forward to hold the girl's hand, and praised: "My sister is so delicate and lovely, so that my sister is also very envious." ”

Friendship between women often begins with mutual compliments. After a few words, Ming Xia and Wang Luoyan sat hand in hand, like cordial sisters. Under Ming Xia's unsparing praise, Wang Luoyan's cheeks gradually became rosy.

Seeing them chatting happily, Xu Ziling, who didn't understand the affairs of men and women, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to Uncle Fang and the others, not only to escape from Ming Xia and the others, but also to discuss the problem of martial arts with Uncle Fang and the others by the way.

Su Wan saw that Wang Luoyan seemed to know Xu Ziling, and was even quite enthusiastic about him, so she couldn't help frowning, and slowly walked to Mingxia and her side, and chatted with them.

The maid Yue'er seemed to be a little afraid of Su Wan, who was full of aura, so she followed Xu Ziling to listen to them talk about martial arts.

The boat slowly began to move, and everyone in the boat slowly relaxed, chatting all over the world.

Su Wan and the other three women quietly discussed the private words of their daughter's family, and glanced at Xu Ziling and the others from time to time.

Xu Ziling, Uncle Fang and others talked about many insights about martial arts. When Xu Ziling asked Uncle Fang how he could enter the realm of martial arts, Uncle Fang told him that there were only two paths, one was to practice and the other was to understand.

The former pays attention to the quality from quantity to quality, which is nothing more than diligent practice, while the latter is intended to realize the true meaning of the martial arts learned, create a precedent or go to the next level. But those who relied on enlightenment to ascend to the heavens and ascended to the realm of martial arts in one step have been few throughout the ages.

Of course, there is no shortage of lesser-known powers.

Uncle Fang is the martial arts realm that he was able to enter only after continuous practice, and the hardships involved are difficult to say.

The maid Yue'er held her head and listened to them from what martial arts realm, talking about Emei, Shaolin, Wudang, Yuanshan, Five Immortals, Pure Land Sect, Baihua Valley and other messy things, and her eyelids fought, drowsy, she simply pillowed her arms and fell asleep on her stomach on the table, making a slight snoring sound.

On the other hand, Su Wan learned that Wang Luoyan and Xu Ziling knew each other, so she put her mind at ease, in her opinion, the girl's love for the young knight who held a sword and rode the horse, and had a heart of admiration for the righteous shot, this is understandable, after seeing Xu Ziling's true face, she will know how to choose.

Time passes slowly in a dull chit-chat.

At night, Xu Ziling went to the deck with the six and eight people to keep vigil together. The ladies of the boat were ready to wash and rest.

The maid who was asleep on the table woke up, rubbed her eyes, and suddenly saw a puddle of water stains on the table, her little face was flushed, and she quickly turned her head to look left and right, and found that Xu Ziling and the others had dispersed, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the table.

Ming Xia walked over with a smile and said, "After wiping it off, go back to your room and sleep." ”

When the maid heard Ming Xia's voice, she was shocked and was relieved to find that it was her own young lady. She has been embarrassed in front of her own young lady more than once or twice.

Wang Luoyan went to the room to make the bed, and only Su Wan, Ming Xia, and Yue'er were left in the hall at this time. Su Wan was looking through some ledgers by the light of an oil lamp.

Suddenly, several insect chirps rang out in the hall.

Su Wan, who was inspecting the account book, changed her face slightly, she forgot about the crickets chirping at night, and put the jar given by Xu Ziling in a cabinet in the ship hall.

Hearing the chirping of crickets, Ming Xia and Yue'er walked over to Su Wan, Yue'er was a little curious, and asked weakly, "Does Sister Su also like to play weaving?" ”

Su Wan was slightly stunned and said, "I don't like it, it's just a rare insect brought by a friend, ask me to help him find a buyer." ”

When Yue'er heard that it was a rare cricket, she was a little moved, and asked softly: "Then, Sister Su, can I take a look, just take a look." ”

Su Wan didn't know why this little girl was so polite to her, and said with a smile: "It's just a weaving promotion, you can watch it as long as you want, just go to the cabinet over there, go get it yourself." ”

The maid showed a smile when she boarded, said sweetly "Thank you, Sister Su", walked in the direction she pointed, and found a jar in the cabinet.

After opening the jar, the maid exclaimed, "Sky blue blue! ”

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old little maid actually knew this rare weaving, and Su Wan was a little puzzled: "You also know Tianlanqing?" ”

But seeing the maid suddenly crying with a sad face, she said with some crying: "I also caught a sky blue blue yesterday, but the jar broke at night, so I let it run away." ”

Su Wandeng was angry and understood why Xu Ziling wanted to hide that Ming Xia and the others sold this cricket, it turned out that he stole it. It's really a shameless villain, and he even steals the maid's things.

This has touched her bottom line, and immediately told the maid to let her take Tianlanqing to play in other rooms, she and Ming Xia have something to say.

After the maid left with the jar, Ming Xia saw that Su Wan's face was a little wrong, and asked, "Miss Su, what's wrong?" ”

Su Wan stared into her eyes and asked rhetorically, "Do you know which of my friends gave me that weaving?" ”

Ming Xia didn't quite understand what she meant, and shook her head.

Seeing her unsuspecting appearance, Su Wan sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's Xu Ziling who you are hanging on to your heart." ”

"Huh?!" Ming Xia was also extremely surprised.
