Strange, too strange. Tourists are weaving, walking along the bustling flow of people, a candy man's stall comes into view, Bian Qingdou can't help but stop, slightly stopped.

Because she is very familiar with this candy man stall, she often comes here to buy candy people to play, not only she likes it, but Miaomiao also likes it very much.

When she encountered this familiar stall, she suddenly felt that the Liufang River had become vivid, and the sense of strangeness and isolation had gradually faded.

"Girl, but do you want to buy a candy man?" The old man saw Bian Qingdou leading the horse to stop, staring at the sugar man on the stall, and couldn't help asking.

Bian Qingdou led the horse to the stall, where there were all kinds of exquisite sugar figures, and a small pot was boiling syrup, exuding a sweet smell.

"Uncle, can I draw a candy man myself?" Bian Qingdou asked.

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, if the girl wants to paint, she can draw it herself, but it looks simple and it is not easy to draw well." ”

Bian Qingdou scooped the syrup with a small spoon, and then began to paint, she also learned calligraphy and painting, it is not difficult to paint well, but the first time to use the sugar spoon to paint, it is inevitable that you will not master the strength, some places are thick, and some places are thin.

But even so, a candy man was drawn, and the old man looked at it and smiled: "Although the painting is a little rusty, it can be seen that it is a handsome young man, this must be the girl's sweetheart, right?" ”

Bian Qingdou shook his head slightly and said, "It's not, a big villain!" ”

The old man smiled, as if he had seen through the world.

Bian Qingdou held his breath and drew again, and a lifelike sugar man was soon formed under Bian Qingdou's spoon. After her first attempt, she immediately mastered her strength.

Bian Qingdou looked at this sugar man in a daze, his eyes were a little sad, and the old man asked, "This is your brother, right?" ”

Bian Qingdou nodded and said, "Yes, this is my brother." ”

Putting down a few copper plates, thanking the old man, Bian Qingdou took the candy man and led the horse to continue walking a little dazed.

This is where the painting boat docked before it was called.

This is where she went ashore together after being pushed into the water by Downing.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the alley, and before he knew it, he came to the small courtyard again, Bian Qingdou stood in front of the small courtyard door for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand and pushed the courtyard door tentatively.

With a creak, the courtyard door opened.

Bian Qingdou was a little surprised, and led the horse into the small courtyard, which was empty, with fallen leaves, weeds growing in the corners of the walls, and the house looked dilapidated.

The kitchenette has collapsed, and only the stone benches and tables under the trees are still intact after a few years of wind and rain.

Brushing off the fallen leaves, Bian Qingdou sat down on the stone bench.

Outside, I vaguely remembered the sound of dense footsteps, which was almost inaudible, but it all fell on Bian Qingdou's ears.

She knew that the brocade guard was coming. She entered Beijing so unabashedly, how could Jin Yiwei not be aware of it?

The small courtyard was already densely surrounded, Zhao Liantang pushed open the door of the small courtyard, and a girl who was beautiful but a little dusty was sitting on the stone bench.

Waving his hand at the subordinates behind him, Zhao Liantang entered the small courtyard alone.

"I don't know if I should call Miss Qiuling or Miss Bian?" Zhao Liantang asked with a complicated expression.

When Tang Ning went to the painting boat to redeem Qiu Ling, he took Zhao Liantang with him, and now a few years have passed, and it has long been a matter of fact.

Bian Qingdou smiled slightly: "Let's call me Bian Qingdou, I didn't expect this small courtyard to be here." ”

At that time, this small courtyard was rented, because Tang Ning had just entered Beijing at that time, and there was not much money, and when Bian Qingdou pushed the door of the small courtyard, he was ready to be inhabited inside, but he didn't expect that the small courtyard was so dilapidated.

Zhao Liantang explained: "In fact, the day after the emperor rented this small courtyard, the Department of Internal Health bought this small courtyard, and then it was abandoned. ”

Deserted, indeed deserted, the past is like smoke, Bian Qingdou asked, "Are you here to arrest me?" Congratulations to Lord Zhao on being promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

Zhao Liantang bowed his hand slightly in the direction of the palace and said, "It's all the emperor's grace!" Miss Bian, as a personal disciple of Lord Si Si of the Oracle, came to the capital, how could we Jinyiwei not pay attention to it? ”

Bian Qingdou said: "I'm here to see Tang Ning!" ”

The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, but it is not something you can see if you want to see it! However, Zhao Liantang also knew that Bian Qingdou was a master, and it was not easy to catch her.

Zhao Liantang said: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, not anyone who wants to see it, I have already handed the news to the palace, as for whether the emperor will see you, no one knows." ”

Bian Qingdou was still sitting on the stone bench and said softly, "I want him to meet me." ”

Tang Ning was still immersed in the excitement of his daughter's birth, and he was really surprised to hear that Jinyi Wei reported that Bian Qingdou appeared in the capital. Especially after knowing that Bian Qingdou swaggered into Beijing, I was even more surprised.

"Where is she now?" Downing asked.

"Back to the emperor, Miss Bian first wandered around the Liufang River, and then went to Shuijing Hutong."

Shuijing Alley? Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, then remembered the small courtyard, and after being slightly stunned, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, is this preparing to play the emotional card?

Could this be the temple's aftermath? However, didn't it mean that the envoys of the temple had just entered the territory of the Great Zhou? Why did Bian Qingdou go to Beijing first?

Looking for Bian Qingdou for so long and not finding it, now that Bian Qingdou has thrown himself into the net, how could he not go to see her?

Leaving the palace with the secret guards, Tang Ning thought about it and did not go directly to Shuijing Hutong, but instead went to his former mansion.

Senior brother, they have already left Beijing, only Mingyue and Xiao Qi live in it, and the sad Xiao Twelve accompanies them.

Tang Ning came to the mansion to tell Mingyue, and he didn't tell Mingyue when he went to catch Miaomiao last time, which made Mingyue unhappy.

What's more, the person who came this time was Bian Qingdou! Mingyue has claimed more than once that she wants to find Bian Qingdou, and now Bian Qingdou is in front of her, if she doesn't call Mingyue, then Mingyue will really be angry.

Walking into the mansion, Tang Ning looked at it as he walked, as if the old scene was in front of him.

"Hey, why are you here?" Only Mingyue dared to say it so bluntly.

Tang Ning smiled: "Bian Qingdou has come to Beijing, I was about to go to her, will you go?" ”

Mingyue was stunned and said, "Bian Qingdou? Coming to the capital? ”

Tang Ning nodded and confirmed: "Yes, she has come to the capital!" ”

Mingyue didn't say anything, turned around and left. Tang Ning looked at the back of Mingyue in the distance and was a little stunned, what is the situation?

Just when Tang Ning was stunned, he heard Mingyue shouting: "Lan'er, Xiaoqi, copy guy!" ”

Tang Ning couldn't help but stroke his forehead when he heard it, how could he sound like a bandit!
