On the barren riverside wharf in Zexian County, the cold wind howled, and the branches of the withered willows and fallen poplars were crushed.

Sheep small hair and small bun hanging hair, red hat, green small sleeves placket and Huzhou silk long skirt, beautiful and long, looking from afar like a fairy, in the snow and muddy river bank is extremely eye-catching.

On the third day of the first month, there are still very few people who go out, the riverbank wharf is very deserted, there are only a dozen boatmen, travelers, and the guys who are roasting around the fireplace of the riverside inn, at this time they all stand in front of the door to see the sheep small, and they have guessed the identity of this woman, if it is said that it is a concubine who eloped with a large family, but I did not see a man walking with him; If it is said that it is a boat prostitute who came out early to collect passengers, but did not see the flower boat and the painting boat, it is really strange!

A few frivolous men stepped forward to talk, inviting Yang Xiaofeng into the shop to drink a glass of wine to warm up, and after a lot of words, I didn't hear a reply, the woman just looked at the upper reaches of the river.

One of the lewd men deliberately leaned next to Yang Xiaofeng, and wanted to lift her veil to see her appearance-

Yang Xiaofeng violently pushed the man away, and pulled out a five-inch knife from the small leather bag on his waist, the blade was glowing with blue, and the blood groove was deep, obviously extremely sharp.

Several frivolous men were startled, hurriedly moved away, and stood under the eaves of the inn to tease the thin sheep with foul language.

Yang Xiaofeng looked at them, remembered their appearance, and waited for Gongzi to clean them up.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a lovely smile came, wearing a deer fetal crown, drawing her eyebrows and lips, and wearing a vulgar dress, and asked kindly, "Is the girl waiting for someone?" ”

These words suddenly asked Yang Xiaofeng's heart. She had been waiting for a while, and seeing that it was about to get dark, she couldn't help but be anxious, so she nodded immediately.

The vulgar woman said, "The girl is waiting for the boat to come down, right, because the boat that comes from upstream does not pass through this waterway, and there is a forked waterway on the other side." He pointed to the other side.

"Ahh Yang Xiaofeng was a little flustered.

The woman looked at the words and asked, "Is the girl waiting for a big boat or a small boat?" ”

Yang Xiaofeng finally answered: "Big ship." ”

The woman immediately said, "The big boat doesn't pass this way, but you see that it is a small boat that has just come down from the upstream." ”

After the woman had finished speaking, she waited for the sheep and begged her to help her find a boat to cross the shore. While looking at the lone girl carefully. Although the eyebrows are not visible under the veil. But this figure, this waist, and these fingers as white as onion pipes are definitely a beauty, looking at this dress, it is very exquisite, and the outfit is not like a servant, it should be a concubine who ran out of a big family, and said in her heart: "Wait for the old lady to trick her onto the boat." Trained a little, became a boat prostitute, is definitely a money tree, it is really good luck in the New Year, you can get such a beautiful girl without spending a penny! ”

The woman waited for a while, but when she did not see the girl speak, she said, "The girl has to wait for someone to cross the river, and it is getting late." Otherwise, it would be bad to miss it. ”

Yang Xiaofeng still didn't say anything. She was a very wise woman, and when she saw that this woman was smiling before she spoke, and her eyes were flashing, she did not dare to believe what this woman was saying. Decided to wait.

At this time, a nine-zhang long vermilion ship sailed down, with a huge belly and large sails on three sides, and the ship was as fast as an arrow from the string.

The woman's lie was self-defeating, and Yang Xiaofeng snorted, stamped his numb frozen feet, ran to a high rock closest to the water's edge, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted sharply: "Childe-childe-"

Fifty zhang away, the water in the heart of the river was turbulent, the big red boat sailed quickly, and there was a man wearing a beard and cloak on the side of the boat on the side of the boat, surrounded by several entourages, looking at this side, in Yang Xiaofeng's opinion, this is not her Zhou Qicha son!

"Childe-childe-"

Yang Xiaofeng ran along the riverbank, tearing off the veil hanging from his hat, revealing a beautiful face, and chasing the big boat hard.

The big ship sailed more than a hundred feet, and gradually slowed down, and the slower and slower, obviously to stop.

Yang Xiaofeng was so happy that her eyes were full of tears, and she ran down the river bank with her skirt, running faster and faster, like a green butterfly flying.

The big boat put down a small sampan, two boats and two servants sailed to the river bank, the sheep Xiaojiao panted and just ran to the small sampan, and helped the servants to the small sampan, the two boats immediately rocked the oars, and the small sampan quickly rowed towards the big boat.

Yang Xiaofeng gasped for a moment and asked, "Xiaoxiang?" ”

The two servants were kind and smiled: "On the boat, both on the boat." ”

Yang Xiaofeng got on the big boat, the servant woman led her into the cabin, Yang Xiaofeng felt that something was not quite right, since Childe saw her on the riverbank, and now took her on the boat, why didn't he wait for her on the deck, Childe is not such a person who puts up a fight!

Yang Xiaofeng stopped, stretched out his right hand into the small leather bag, held the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Childe-"

The servant woman said, "The son is waiting for the girl inside." ”

Yang Xiaofeng took two steps back and called again: "Childe-"

Someone under the cabin answered, "Childe is here!" ”

There was a "knock" sound on the wooden steps, and three people came up, one on the left was tall and thin, in his forties, wearing a thin kudzu shirt, not afraid of the cold, his eyes bulging, his eyebrows were like two brooms, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, looking pretentious; On the right is a Confucian student in his fifties, with a Confucian crown and a green shirt, sparse eyebrows, and an unconventional appearance, always holding a wisdom pearl in his hand, and looking like he is smiling; In the center is a young man with a bearded hat and a sable fur, the one Yang Xiaofeng saw on the riverbank, not Zhou Xuan at all!

Yang Xiaofeng knew that he was on the wrong boat, and although he was panicked, he was not afraid, and said, "Get off the boat." ”

The young man with a bearded hat and ermine was about twenty-six or seven years old, with a slender figure, a handsome appearance, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and there was a kind of authoritarian power between Gu Pan, who was obviously pampered and arrogant, and first saw a fair girl on the riverbank beckoning to him, and knew that it was very likely that he had recognized the wrong person, and said with a smile: "Take the woman up, see how she looks, the beautiful ones are left, and the ugly ones are thrown into the river to feed the fish and turtles." ”

The big man with a shirt and eyebrows said, "Childe, this girl is stunning. ”

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, Mr. Du is an eagle eye, so he can naturally see clearly, stop the boat quickly, and send a board to pick it up." ”

See you at this time. fruit

The color of the country is captivating, and the age seems to be very young, and the pure beauty is childish, which can't help but make people feel pity.

The young man smiled and asked, "Girl, whose surname are you looking for?" ”

Yang Xiaofeng still has two words: "Get off the boat." ”

But by this time the ship had re-drawn its sails, straightened its rudder, and sailed down the river.

The sheep ran to the side of the boat. Looking at the receding banks and the surging water. Tears rolled in his eyes.

Young men stand idle. I was not worried that Yang Xiaofeng would jump into the river, and said slowly: "The girl is lucky to have met me, you are a lone woman who goes out to find someone, but I am afraid that people will jump into the fire pit if they don't find themselves, isn't it bad!" Stay on my ship for a while, and I'll look for you—who is the girl looking for? ”

Yang Xiaofeng pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

The young man was unfazed. Still said with a smile: "If the girl doesn't say it, it must be looking for Li Gongzi, and it is Li Gongzi below." ”

Yang Xiaofeng was as silent and unmoved as an ice beauty, indifferent to the words of the man who called himself Li Gongzi's witty words.

The young man turned his head and said, "Invite this girl to Xiao Yaxuan to live temporarily, so that she can wait." Then he said to Yang Xiaofeng: "The girl does not need to be afraid, she is the most elegant below, and she will not offend the girl, so the girl will stay." If a large ship comes from behind. It's never too late to find your son-in-law again. ”

Two handmaidens came up, two servant women and two handmaidens held Yang Xiaofeng back and forth, and Yang Xiaofeng did not resist. Calmly went down to the cabin.

Li Gongzi looked at the slender back of the sheep, and gently rubbed the thumb of his right hand with his left hand, and the smile became stronger.

The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Childe has always liked tough methods, why is he so gentle this time?" ”

Li Gongzi said with a smile: "This woman is beautiful and fragrant, and she is still a virgin, I naturally want to treat her with the royal way, and only by capturing her heart can I show my ability, just like Mr. Du and Mr. Gan are geniuses in the world, only I appreciate you, and treat you with the honor of a countryman, you are naturally willing to serve me." ”

The eagle-eyed man known as Mr. Du and Mr. Gan Confucianism arched their hands together and said: "The grace of the son, the sky is high and the earth is high, and the two of us swear allegiance to the son." ”

Yang Xiaofeng was supported by two maids to come to Xiao Yaxuan, this Xiao Yaxuan Yingying Yanyan A group of women were talking and laughing, all of them were beauties, dressed in beautiful makeup, dazzling, Yang Xiaofeng Qingling went to that station, all the women were overshadowed, all of them lost their voices, and a pair of jealous eyes stared at Yang Xiao, and only after a while did they gossip and say:

"It turns out that Childe has a new favorite!"

"Jade bottle, you're going to fall out of favor!"

"Isn't it great, cold look!"

Yang Xiaofeng only didn't speak, and was hugged by two maids to a beautifully arranged pavilion, Yang Xiaofeng saw that there was a window, and hurriedly went over to push it open, looking at the surging river, a little relieved.

When it was dark, the ship was moving so fast that I didn't see a ship coming from behind.

The maidservant brought dinner, Yang Xiaofeng didn't move her chopsticks, her eyes looked out of the cold window, and she thought about what to do next?

That Li Gongzi wanted to capture the old man, but he never came to see Yang Xiaofeng.

When it got dark, Yang Xiaofeng got up and walked out of the pavilion and walked slowly, and the two maidservants followed her inch by inch.

Although the ship is big, hundreds of people gather in one boat, and people can be heard talking everywhere, Yang Xiaofeng listened to these words in his heart, and learned that the ship was also going to Jinling, and that Li Gongzi was a great nobleman.

Yang Xiaofeng nodded secretly, it is only seven or eight days to go to Jinling by water, and it is not too late to find Gongzi when she arrives in Jinling, as long as she can make up her mind, she is not afraid of Li Gongzi to harass her.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaofeng touched the knife on his waist.

When she walked back, she suddenly heard the voice of Li Gongzi, above her head, it was the top of the big ship, and she only heard Li Gongzi say: "Wei Bo has been persuaded by me, and I promised to let him dominate Zhennan and Zhaowu after the incident." ”

Of course, Yang Xiaofeng knew who Wei Bo was, and he was very surprised, slowed down, and heard that Li Gongzi said again: "The five major protectorates in the southwest of the Tang Kingdom - Zhennan and Baisheng are from our land, Zhaowu and Jianzhou are not, as for Fenghua, I visited Lin secretly half a year ago, this old fox is ambiguous, obviously he sees the wind and makes the rudder, and whoever gains power will support whom." ”

Another voice said: "This time Lin's two daughters entered Beijing, the young daughter Lin Hanyun seems to be going for that person, Childe, you must not let Lin marry that person, you should destroy it from it, it is best for Childe to marry Miss Lin Er, Childe's demeanor is far better than that person, as long as you meet with Miss Lin Er a few more times, Miss Lin Er will definitely have a heart tied to Childe." ”

That Li Gongzi laughed and said: "I am really miserable, I have become the prince Zhaojun of peace, and I also promised to marry Wei Bo's daughter, ouch, that Wei Bo's daughter is really ugly, and I will not see you if I really want to marry in the future." ”

Several people laughed together.

Yang Xiaofeng walked over slowly, couldn't hear the speech, and thought, "Who is this Li Gongzi?" It seems that it is going to be unfavorable to Miss Lin Er, my son-in-law is friendly with the Lin Mansion, this must involve my son-in-law, and I must tell him about it when I see him. ”

In the next few days, the big ship went all the way, passing through Anqing, Chizhou, and Tongling, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Jinling, the western capital, in three more days.

In the past few days, Li Gongzi will come to sit in the small house of Yang Xiao every day for a while, and say some witty words, but Yang Xiao is silent, if he didn't say the word "get off the boat" when he got on the boat, he would have thought she was dumb.

Accustomed to seeing other women's flattery, coquettishness, bewitchment, and jealousy, Li Gongzi became more interested in Yang Xiaofeng's lotus-like beauty, and thought: "When you get to Jinling, you will be trained well, and I will definitely teach you to say anything." ”

Yang Xiaofeng's mind was full of Zhou Xuandi's appearance, and he prayed in his heart: "Son, come quickly, Xiaofeng is afraid." ”
