In Hangzhou in April, flowers bloom everywhere and green trees are shady. After the baptism of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, it is extraordinarily bright. Lu Xin led his horse into the city gate, and immediately attracted countless eyes.

Most of them are young ladies and maidservants of various families. At this time, Lu Xin, with a sword and a horse, dressed in green clothes like water, was young and full of spirit. When the young woman sees it, she will inevitably have the meaning of spring. However, Lu Xin didn't look at anyone, if you want to talk about temperament and appearance, I'm afraid that no one in this huge Hangzhou city can compare to one-tenth of Tian Yu'er.

Now that he is leaving, Lu Xin wants to buy a gift for Tian Yu'er, so that he can keep it as a souvenir. After all, in the past two years, the two have often gotten along with each other, and their relationship is better than that of sister and brother. But Lu Xin has never bought anything for girls, and in the Tang Dynasty, where the customs and habits are completely different from modern society, when he got to the street, he was a little dizzy for a while.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty, which has been in Zhenguan for three years, has already had a trace of prosperity. At the beginning of the year, Taizong ordered the household department to reorganize the household registration, and the total population in the Tang Dynasty has increased from less than 2 million households in the early Tang Dynasty to more than 2.4 million. All industries recovered, the government was relaxed, and all prefectures and counties attached great importance to agricultural reclamation and commerce. Take Hangzhou City as an example, since Emperor Yang of Sui ordered people to dig the Jiangnan Canal, the people of Hangzhou City can take the waterway to Huainan Road to enter Yangzhou City, and connect the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north.

Along the way, both sides of the strait are important places of commerce and trade. The entire canal runs almost from north to south, and Hangzhou City is located at the southernmost end of the canal, which is both the starting point and the end point. The silk, porcelain, and seafood produced in Jiangnan Province can be transported to all parts of the country through Hangzhou City. Goods from the north and the Central Plains can also be distributed to the entire Jiangnan region through Hangzhou.

In terms of the prosperity of commerce alone, Hangzhou is better than Yuezhou City. And a large part of Xu Sanjin's business is also settled in Hangzhou. At this time, looking at the dazzling array of goods in the market and listening to the shouts of the hawkers one after another, Lu Xin was really a little confused.

"Girls should love to dress up, Sister Yu'er's face has never been smeared with rouge gouache, why don't you buy some for her? Forehead...... No, the teacher seems to have said before that girls often wear makeup and are not good for their skin, so forget it, it looks best without makeup. Hey, what should I do. ”

Lu Xin carried a sword, led a horse, and swayed in front of a small stall, his face full of confusion. He wanted to choose something that Tian Yu'er could use for a long time, so that it could be regarded as a souvenir. But although there are many things in the market, there are few things that Lu Xin likes.

"This son, I see that you have been hesitating here for a long time, but what trouble have you encountered?"

When Lu Xin stopped in front of a stall selling hairpins, a young girl suddenly walked up behind him. He is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate appearance and a handmaiden. Lu Xin had just come out of the Xu Mansion, so he naturally knew the origin of the other party at a glance. A servant girl can swagger out on the streets, and she must be followed by the lady in the house. However, Lu Xin saw that she was about the same age as Tian Yu'er, but she smiled.

"May I ask you, girl, if I gave you something as a souvenir, what would you want?"

"A memento?"

The girl didn't seem to expect Lu Xin to suddenly ask herself a question, and she was suddenly a little nervous, biting her lip and thinking about it for a long time. Lu Xin didn't urge him, just smiled, which made the girl blush, and hurriedly lowered her head.

"If it's a gift from the child, the little girl... The little girl will want a comb."

"Combs? That's right, Sister Yu'er combs her hair every day when she gets up, doesn't she think of me every day when she sees the comb? Good idea, thank you young lady, love you. ”

Lu Xin was overjoyed, lifted the reins of the horse, turned around and went to look for a stall selling combs. The girl had not yet come to her senses, and stood there muttering to herself.

"Little, little sister? Love, Love...... Love me? ”

The girl obviously didn't understand Lu Xin's modern words, and she was confused and shy. After a few breaths, a slightly chubby woman dressed in a bewitching dress and fine silk came over. As soon as he saw the girl, he slapped it with the fan in his hand, looking very angry.

"You shameless little girl, I'll kill you, I'll kill you. Ask you to find someone for Miss Ben, and you yourself will be fascinated. What about people, where have they gone? ”

"Miss, the slave is wrong, don't fight, please don't fight."

……

Not to mention how many young ladies and maidservants are there on the street in the huge city of Hangzhou. At this time, Lu Xin had already bought a beautiful mahogany comb. was about to lead the horse out of the city, but the street that was originally quite wide was blocked by a group of greeting people. The battle was very large, and there were more than a dozen people singing in the sedan chair carried by eight people. Coupled with the salutes, the lively, and the candy-grabbing, the whole street is surrounded and very chaotic.

But welcoming relatives is a happy event, and Lu Xin is not in a hurry, it is also interesting to mix in the crowd to watch the excitement.

"Why do so many people go up to grab the candy, which big family can't see the appearance of the groom's official, and there is such a big guard of honor?"

"Heh, it's lonely, isn't it? This is Niu Ercheng, the eldest young master of Niu Mansion, who wants to marry the fourteenth concubine. This day was killed, and on weekdays, he relied on the wealth of Niufu and ran rampant in the township. Which girl you like, even if you don't rush into the door, you have to flirt. Today, I don't know whose yellow flower girl was poisoned. ”

"It turned out to be him, didn't you say that the eldest master of the Niu family had only been dead for a few days? Dad's bones are not cold, and this is such a big deal when he is a son? ”

"Hehe, who's to say it's not. But that old lady Niu is not a good thing. In the past few years, he colluded with the government, expropriated and extorted violently, and did a lot of things that hurt nature and reason. It's good that all the people in this family are dead. ”

Lu Xin stood in the crowd and heard a lot of discussions, so he naturally knew the identity of the person who married him. He and Niu Ercheng also took a photo, and almost did it. Since the groom is not a good person, Lu Xin is not so polite. He immediately pulled down his face and led the horse out of the crowd.

The streets were still chaotic, and Lu Xin walked out of the city alone, which looked particularly eye-catching. When passing by the welcoming procession, several subordinates of Niufu wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they saw the sword in Lu Xin's hand, they retracted again. Two years later, Lu Xin has changed greatly in both his figure and appearance. Niu Ercheng didn't recognize him, and when he saw that he was dressed as a person in the rivers and lakes, he ordered someone to make way for him.

"Hmph, you're in luck. Otherwise, I will turn you upside down! ”

Lu Xin glanced at Niu Ercheng, who was red on horseback, and sneered in his heart. Because of Tian Yuer's affairs, he has always been very disgusted with Niu Ercheng. The reason why he went out of the city despite the chaos was because he wanted to meet the famous bully in Hangzhou for a while. It doesn't matter if the other party doesn't make things difficult, if there is a little rudeness, the sword in his hand can be drunk with a glass of turbid wine.

The sound of gongs and drums in his ears gradually became far away, and Lu Xin left the city and rode straight to the West Lake. When I climbed Shifeng Mountain, it was already past noon. Lu Xin was a little hungry, and before he got to the place, he called "Sister Yu'er" from afar, shouting to eat. But this time, he didn't even respond to several calls. If it was in the past, Tian Yu'er would have jumped out early to greet her.

Lu Xin felt that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he realized that the entire tea mountain was empty. It is now the busy season for tea picking, and at this time, the mountain people should have had lunch and started picking tea.

Until he walked into Tian Gui's house, Lu Xin frowned. The house was full of people, and almost all the tea farmers who lived on Shifeng Mountain arrived.

"Xiao Xin? Tian Gui, it's Xiao Xin who is here, and he hasn't left yet. ”

"It's really Xiao Xin, didn't you tell Yu'er that you were going to Chang'an?"

"Woooooooooo......oo Brother Xiaoxin, Yu'er, and Sister Yu'er were robbed. Grandpa Tian, he always vomited blood, he couldn't speak, woo woo woo ......"

Seeing Lu Xin, all the mountain people surrounded him. One of the children was crying so badly that his face was full of tears. Lu Xin was stunned, short of breath. This scene, he seems to be similar. At this moment, his mind was full of what Grandpa Tu looked like before he died. He didn't dare to think about it, let alone go forward, and even the hand holding the sword trembled.

As the child said, Tian Gui was seriously injured and his whole face was swollen. Lu Xin examined his injuries, his right arm was broken, and he was bleeding from the inner house...... At Tian Gui's age, let alone getting out of bed, it's hard to say whether he can get through it. The strange thing is that Tian Gui's injury should have been several hours old, the wound has scarred, and some blood stains that have not been wiped off have also dried.

"What about Lang Zhong, why isn't Lang Zhong here?"

Lu Xin squatted beside the bed and looked back at everyone. He couldn't hide the anger on his face, and the mountain people didn't dare to look at him.

"I've already sent someone to look for it, but, as soon as Lang Zhong heard that he was going to go up to Shifeng Mountain, he refused to come."

"Won't come? Hahahaha, what a refusal to come! ”

Lu Xin laughed and stood up from the ground suddenly. His movements were loud and his face was full of anger. The mountain people had never seen him like this, as if the warm boy they had seen before was just a man in a dream.

"Who is it, snatched it, Sister Yu'er?"

"Xiao Xin, Yu'er... She won't let Yu'er say. She is looking forward to that you can go to Chang'an safely. ”

"Yes, Xiao Xin, you can go quickly, there are still us here. Yu'er, she is willing to leave, don't go to her. She's afraid of you......"

"Willing to be a fart!"

Airplanes!

With a roar, the sword was unsheathed. Lu Xin swung out his sword, and the wooden table beside him instantly fell apart. Everyone was so frightened that they retreated, and several timid women hugged each other and began to cry.

"Xiao Xin, we're afraid that something will happen to you......"

"I ask again, who is it? Otherwise, don't blame me Lu Xin turned his face and said ruthlessly! ”

Lu Xin had never been so angry, who was the person who snatched Tian Yu'er, he had already guessed a few points in his heart. But this kind of thing, he has to be confirmed. He didn't want to find the wrong person, let alone kill the wrong person.

"Alas...... Xiao Xin, you should have guessed it. Who can there be, in a place like our Shifeng Mountain, apart from Niu Ercheng, who else will have a powerful person come up. Before she left, Yu'er was afraid of causing trouble for you, so she specially asked us not to go to the people of the Xu Mansion, let alone tell you. Xiao Xin ......"

Seeing Lu Xin's persistence, Liu Laohan, who lived next to Tian Gui, sighed. But before he could finish his words, the boy was already gone.
