Fang Jinshi returned to his home, first went to find Qiao Ling'er, he walked to the house where Qiao Ling'er lived, the door was not closed, and he saw Qiao Ling'er standing in front of the table from the outside, writing with a pen.

Fang Jinshi was very surprised, Qiao Ling'er practiced martial arts and housework on weekdays, but she had never seen her write, Fang Jinshi knew that she knew some words, he tiptoed gently to her door, and then jumped over the threshold at once, and said with a smile: "What are you writing?" ”

Qiao Ling'er was startled when she saw him suddenly appear in front of her, and hurriedly went to collect the paper she wrote on the table, Fang Jinshi was quick, grabbed two sheets, and before she could take a closer look, Qiao Ling'er snatched the paper hidden behind her, Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Show me what you wrote." ”

Qiao Ling'er shook her head again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Fang Jinshi looked embarrassed when he saw her, and suddenly felt that there must be something, he became more and more curious, walked over and grabbed a few pieces of paper in her hand, and said, "Since it's nothing, show me what's wrong." ”

Qiao Ling'er dodged a few times, but she didn't give it, and Fang Jinshi was forced to grab it in the corner, she quickly lifted a wooden box in the corner, threw the paper into it, closed the lid, and then sat on the lid and said, "It's nothing, I'm just learning to write." ”

Fang Jinshi wanted to pull her up, but she just wouldn't let her, the two were entangled for a while Fang Jinshi couldn't get her up and open the box, Fang Jinshi said: "I know, you must have a crush, write a love poem to him, then I won't read it." ”

Qiao Ling'er hurriedly said: "Where did I come from, no." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I thought the person you liked was me, who knew that I was doing it myself, since it wasn't me, it was someone else, I won't read it, you continue to write, I'll go." ”

Qiao Ling'er watched him walk out with some apprehension, Fang Jinshi walked to the door, poked his head in and said, "I'm really leaving." ”

Qiao Ling'er stood up, walked over with her head down, and said, "Okay, I'll show you." She squeezed past Fang Jinshi, hiding her face with her hands shy, Fang Jinshi watched her walk out of the door, and opened the lid in front of her wooden box, the box was full of clothes and shoes that Fang Jinshi himself was no longer wearing, washed and neatly folded, Fang Jinshi took out those pieces of paper, opened them and saw that they were all written "Fang Lang, Fang Lang" or his full name Fang Jinshi.

No wonder she didn't want Fang Jinshi to see it, such an affectionate title, Fang Jinshi felt very useful when he looked at these words, he found a few more pieces of paper from Qiao Ling'er, but it was written Liang Cuirong's name and Xue Ling's name, Fang Jinshi smiled, and when he walked to the door, he saw Qiao Ling'er standing outside with his back to him, Fang Jinshi said, "You come in." ”

Qiao Ling'er squirmed and walked in slowly, Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Your writing is really ugly, I'll let Second Sister Huang teach you well another day." Qiao Ling'er raised her eyes to look at him, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Fang Jinshi picked up the pen, spread out a new piece of paper, and wrote the word "Fang Lang", he picked it up and looked at it, and found that what he wrote was not much better than Qiao Ling'er, so he shook his head and threw it away, Qiao Ling'er saw it, and couldn't help lowering his head and pursing his lips and smiling.

Fang Jinshi said: "You clean up, and take you to Bianliang the day after tomorrow." ”

Qiao Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Of course it's true, if anyone else doesn't bring it, they must bring you, and they must find your mother for you this time." ”

Qiao Ling'er nodded heavily, Fang Jinshi put the folded pear golden hairpin on the table and said, "You take this, find time to melt or sell it on the street, and give you pocket money." Fang Jinshi didn't plan to return this golden hairpin to Cai Yunlian, he always felt that she had made herself regret it to a certain extent, and she always had to be punished.

Qiao Ling'er put it away with a sigh, but she was thinking in her heart, why did such a good golden hairpin melt away?

Fang Jinshi saw her doubts, so he said: "This is what I got from other women, it's not good to give it to you, when you get to Bianliang, I'll take you to buy a new one." ”

Qiao Ling'er agreed again, Fang Jinshi told her a few more words, and then went out, he returned to the main room and told Liang Cuirong about entering Beijing, and finally said: "This time I went to Bianliang, I don't know if Zhao Sange will summon me, I always feel faintly uneasy." ”

Liang Cuirong said: "I'm afraid that you think too much, he will not reward you at most, Mr. Yuwen and a group of ministers who follow him are watching." ”

Fang Jinshi thought about it, he and Liang Cuirong discussed going to Bianliang, in fact, the best thing is to take Liang Cuirong with him, but Huang Jinmian not only can't go, but he is only afraid that he needs someone to take care of him, although Shi Quan's father Shi Taigong is clamoring to go back to Bianliang, but Fang Jinshi thinks that the weather is still a little hot now, and it is really hard to hurry, I am afraid that the old man's body can't stand it, he is even more selfish, and wants to persuade Shi Quan to come to Jiangnan to live in Beijing this time.

Liang Cuirong finally said, you take Xue Ling with you, she has never been to Bianliangcheng's home, Fang Jinshi thinks she is really generous, but he doesn't think much about the current social atmosphere in the Song Dynasty. At the moment, Fang Jinshi went to Xue Ling to tell her, and she was naturally very happy.

The next day, Fang Jinshi went to Sihai Qianzhuang to explain to Shi Haoji Chang'an, and went home to see Huang Jinmian, she was already a little inconvenient to move. After preparing for a day, Fang Jinshi specially asked people to load the wooden cart pagoda sent by King Xiu in a carriage, and he wanted to transport it to Bianliang for Song Qian to see.

Fang Jinshi led dozens of people to follow, most of these people were the Hu shopkeepers who Shi Quan helped him find at the beginning, and now they all want to take the opportunity to go back to Bianliang to have a look, Fang Jinshi took Qiao Ling'er and Xue Ling, took four carriages, went out of Pingjiang Mansion City, and marched towards Bianliang City.

This road stops and stops, this day came to the boundary of Shuzhou, out of the town along the official road walked a little way, the sun was uncomfortable, Fang Jinshi saw that there was a tea stall selling tea when he passed by, so he beckoned everyone to stop and rest.

The entourage sat down and ordered tea and snacks, and the guy who sold the tea just poured tea for them, and saw the fast horses flying over the five horses on the avenue, and the five black-clothed men hurriedly urged the horses to swing the smoke and dust on the road, Xue Ling, who had just gotten off the carriage and was still on the side of the road, quickly covered his mouth and nose and ran to Fang Jinshi's side, Fang Jinshi said: "That's the way it is when you go out, you will always meet some people who don't care about the feelings of others." ”

Xue Ling said: "I didn't say anything, maybe people are really in a hurry?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid that you will say that it is hard, and you will dislike this and that, and regret coming along." ”

Xue Ling said: "Do you think I look like a pampered person? ”

Before Fang Jinshi could answer, he saw that the five people who were in a hurry turned around and came back again, but this time they slowly rode their horses, and when they arrived at this tea shop, they looked at Fang Jinshi's side, and then the two people led by them bowed their heads to discuss something.

Seeing this, Fang Jinshi immediately became vigilant, and hurriedly beckoned Xue Ling to sit down, these five people had a fierce face, and each of them had a long bag on their horses, as if they were equipped with weapons, these five people discussed and dismounted one after another, and a fatter person shouted: "Xiao Er, bring a pot of tea." Then he led the five of them to the tea shop and sat at a table not far from Fang Jinshi and the others.

Fang Jinshi saw that most of these people were wearing thin-soled fast boots, their complexions were tanned, and they looked like they were rough, and after sitting down, they looked at him and Xue Ling from time to time, and then lowered their heads and gathered together to talk, Fang Jinshi was even more suspicious in his heart, most of the people he brought back to Bianliang this time were some guys who were shopkeepers, only one or two people could fight, and only Qiao Ling'er could beat the most, seeing that these people seemed to have bad intentions, and I didn't know if they coveted his money or Xue Ling's beauty.

Fortunately, it was daytime at this time, and it was close to the official road, but it was not guaranteed that these people were some outlaws, desperate to start, he was thinking about it here, the fat man led by the five people stood up with a tea bowl and said to Fang Jinshi: "A few masters, are you going to Beijing?" My brother is going to Beijing, and I don't know the way, so I want to ask a few people. ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly stood up and said, "No, we just went to the market in front, and we are not familiar with other roads, so we can't help a few." ”

The fat man said, "Then I'll bother you." ”

The five of them drank tea for a while, got up and prepared to leave, Fang Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief, the fat man walked to the side of the road but did not get on the horse and leave quickly, but looked around Fang Jinshi and the carriage they parked on the side of the road, and then discussed with the other four companions on the side of the road, as if confirming something.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly walked to the table where Qiao Ling'er was sitting next to him, and whispered to Qiao Ling'er: "Be careful, these people are only afraid that those who come are not good." ”

Qiao Ling'er nodded, the final result of the discussion of the five people did not know how, but they walked to their own horses on the side of the road together, ready to get on the horse, the fat man finally got on the horse, and looked at Fang Jinshi and them again, shook his head at the other companion, and said, Fang Jinshi looked at his mouth from a distance, as if he said the word "no".

Fang Jinshi guessed that they must have recognized the wrong person, and some characteristics of these people were similar to the person they were looking for, so after confirming again and again, and after observing many parties, they finally determined that they were not their fat sheep, so they left.

But this is the best, these five people are just about to urge the horse to leave, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves on the avenue is urgent, a team of fast horses galloped from the direction of Shuzhou City, this team of people and horses actually has more than 20 horses, the horses are all wearing black or blue coarse cloth clothes of strong men, these people have a black cloth bag on their horses, from the appearance of the inside is like a thick rope, the bag mouth reveals a five-grasp big iron hook that can not fit into the bag.

Fang Jinshi was taken aback again, still thinking about whether these twenty or so people would be in the same group as the five people before, and the fat man among the five saw that this group of riders was about to pass them forward, so he chased after them on horseback, and shouted to these big men: "Stop, stop, stop." ”

One of the more than twenty people blew a loud whistle, and the group heard it one by one and quickly stopped.
