Five years ago, in the early years of Hongwu, Wuyang, Qingzhou. Late summer and early autumn.

The sunset was hidden in the heavy mist and mountain clouds, and the lanterns on both sides of the river were picked up one by one. In the rippling waves, the painting boat is slowly moving forward, and the ladies of several families gather in one place.

Some of the girls bit their ears and said private words, some compared each other's embroidered patterns, and some secretly drank two sips of fruit wine and took paper to make boudoir spring poems.

The one next to her squeezed over to look at it and patted her pen: "What do you write...... What you wrote is too glamorous, Lang Qing concubine, and I was found by your family when I turned around......"

"You dare to say you haven't written, you haven't stolen the stationery that someone else stuffed into your wall?"

The two men were talking to each other, playing with each other and laughing.

At the end of the painting boat, there was a particularly eye-catching girl, with white skin and snow, and she was a natural talent. At this moment, she was humming a country song softly, and a magnolia hairpin in her hand was gently tapping the beat on the corner of the table. This is what she likes very much after hearing it once, and she has a strict family education on weekdays, and she doesn't dare to hum.

A girlfriend peeled an orange and put two petals into her mouth, and she opened her mouth to take it.

"Jue'er, your father is very valued now, a few days ago, did you want to leave your hometown and go with him?"

She chewed an orange, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out: "Nothing." ”

It was getting dark outside, and it was time for her to go back.

"Then how did I hear that Lord Liu sent a few boxes of things back, saying that they were for you. ”

"He said that I should get married in two years, and asked my mother to tell me about my family, and the thing I sent back was my dowry. ”

The other party was disappointed: "Why don't you take you to Yingtianfu?" I still want you to take me to see the royal majesty." ”

Yes, she also wants to go out and see what she wants. When can she be given this opportunity, she is willing to exchange what she will take.

In the tea and wine shop on the shore, the lowly little girl shuttles between the tables and chairs; the oil and rice shop has long since closed its doors and windows, and you can probably hear a few shouts of oil in the daytime; by the window of the green building, there is a prostitute with exquisite makeup and half-open clothes; the foot of the grocery seller walks briskly with a burden, and the flat shoulder is upside down, and two rock candy falls out of the frame, which is secretly picked up by the little girl......

Just when I opened the curtain and looked at it, it was all prosperous, lonely, sad, and lucky...... She has never traveled far, she has never seen the world, and she can only look for the scenery outside in some unknown books.

"Miss, it's time to go back. Her maid Wen Jin called her outside.

Wen Jin's name was given by Liu Jue's mother, because her mother said that this girl had beautiful eyes and always contained honey in them, so taking this name made her more restrained.

Liu Jue put down the curtain, got up and walked out of the painting boat, the maid handed over the masked white veil, and then carried Liu Jue off the boat and got into the carriage of the boatman's family, and they were responsible for sending back every family's daughter.

When the maid saw the hairpin in Liu Jue's hand, she couldn't help but praise: "The hairpin with magnolia patterns, Bingqing Yujie, really looks like you, Miss." ”

Liu Jue handed the hairpin out casually: "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Liu Jue is actually not very happy to hear others praise her with these words, she thinks she is very strange, and she wants to hear words such as praising men, such as outstanding, loyal and filial piety, and talented, why can't it be used to praise women?

Liu Jue sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, and the maid sat on the side. Halfway through the carriage, it suddenly swayed.

She saw a figure flickering, and before she knew what was happening, she heard the maid cry out in a panic: "Miss!"

It was a man who got into the carriage, a long sword pointed at Liu Jue, and sat down unhurriedly: "Hey, don't scream, call someone else, and you will die with me." ”

The maid nervously held Liu Jue's hand: "Who are you? If you want to hold me hostage, don't hurt my young lady." ”

"Me?" the other party smiled kindly, "My name is Chen Linsheng, and I am the leader of the Night God Sect. ”

Liu Jue was stunned, she didn't know the name Chen Linsheng, but she didn't know the Night God Sect, the adopted brother who was adopted by her father was chasing the Night God Sect all day long.

The sect leader is said to be a house slave who stole some cults, and he is a murderer who kills people everywhere. Although my father has never believed in ghosts and gods, he has also reprimanded this person a lot.

But Chen Lin was born as a person, unexpectedly not a reckless husband, she looked at him about forty years, plain robe and cloth scarf, but he was a declining scholar, and he didn't know which mountain he was on when he was in vain.

Chen Linsheng was still holding a sword here, unfolding a green silk fan over there, and said calmly: "What about you, as long as you help me avoid the Ruan family, I will return you to the Liu Mansion as it is." If I'm caught, you'll have to accompany me to the Yellow Springs. It's not a big deal, it's simple, you say?"

Liu Jue smiled, covered by a thin veil, but the pink lips were even more attractive. Chen Linsheng became interested: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you for saying these things redundantly. ”

The tip of her index finger slid against the surface of the sword, and pushed the tip of the sword outward: "It is impossible for the coachman not to know the movement of you getting into the car, but he did not react, so the coachman is also your person, why bother to threaten with the sword." Do you know that I am a member of the Liu family, if you still want to threaten me with my life and escape from my brother-in-law, how can you return me to the Liu Mansion? Aren't you afraid that I will expose your whereabouts?"

Chen Linsheng put his Qingxiao sword back into its sheath: "Then you want to laugh?"

"My brother-in-law and my father are very separate, he has never come to visit Qingtian, and he has no affection for me, you use me as a threat, it's useless, he may even push the boat down the river. ”

Chen Linsheng: "I already see that you are beautiful, I don't want to be abrupt, so I don't tie you up." If you say that, I won't let you go. ”

What kind of reason is this, beauty is not abrupt, and if there is no salt, can it be treated at will?

"Don't let it go, what should you do if you let it go? Now you don't know me, you just hijacked me casually by the lake, and the daughter who sat in the car may be any of the daughters who came out of the painting boat, so that they hijacked all the way out of the county seat to keep you safe. For the sake of chastity, I will not mention this day to anyone. ”

The maid didn't know what the young lady was talking about, and shook her arm.

Chen Linsheng felt very interesting that the daughter in the boudoir, when she met a bandit, she was helpless, and she could talk to him so calmly: "Then why should I believe you, why should I take care of your reputation?"

Liu Jue shook his head, and simply made his words clear: "There is no new blood on your sword, and there are no torn clothes on your body, but there is blood." So you've long since gotten out of sight, changed your attire, and now you're just worried about getting out of town. Since he was injured and couldn't meet the enemy, he naturally kept quiet and didn't make any more noise. ”

Chen Linsheng's eyes showed appreciation, he has always liked smart people.

"No, as I said, you went to the gates, though you shouted that it was I who had taken you hostage. In this way, I will probably never go back. ”

Whether it's dead, or innocent and bad, she can't go back.

She'd love to leave. A small Qingzhou really can't hold her heart ape from traveling far away.

After speaking, Liu Jue closed his eyes and rested, as if there had never been such a person in the car. The maid Wen Jin was still staring at Chen Linsheng, and he just shook his fan indifferently.

"If Miss Liu is willing to walk with me, it will be a good help. ”

He didn't just talk about today's peers, but also wanted to invite her to help in the future. Liu Jue did not respond.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Jue felt that the carriage had stopped, and when he opened his eyes, the maid was asleep on the side, and Chen Linsheng was gone. When the curtain was lifted, the lanterns on the city walls were lit in the distance in an open field outside the city, and the coachman was gone.

Liu Jue pushed the maid, and she woke up. Liu Jue asked, "Wen Jin, will you drive a carriage?"

The maid rubbed the corners of her forehead and replied confusedly: "It will be a little, but it will be fast." ”

She nodded, "Yes, let's go back." ”

Only then did the maid react and looked around: "Where is the thief?"

Liu Jue smiled and lifted the veil that didn't have any effect: "He will come back and look for me again." ”

In the third year of Hongwu, at the banquet of King Qin, Ru Sanshui stared intently at the beauty Liu Jue, Jiang Heng smiled and said nothing.

After a while, I saw Ruan Hongque and a dancing girl, all looking in the direction of Liu Jue.

She pounded Jiang Heng with her elbow: "Look, beautiful girl, men and women love to look twice." ”

Liu Jue sat upright and didn't look at anyone.

Jiang Wenjin stepped forward, hid his face, and made a gesture of wanting to dance, his eyes fell on the young prince on the main seat, and remembered Liu Jue's words.

"If you don't kill King Qin, you don't have to come again. ”
