The light snow on Chinese New Year's Eve on the twenty-eighth festival stopped after only two days of hairy drifting. In the sound of "crackling" firecrackers, the new year began again. Perhaps because of the New Year, Persia and Nanban have been relatively quiet for more than ten days, and there have been no major war movements. The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and in the vicinity of Tide City, they amassed troops to defend each other, and for a while, they couldn't hold each other.

During the Spring Festival in Kyoto, because the climate is generally cold, most people stay in their own homes and do not go out. Compared with Nanning, it is much warmer, and this Spring Festival is naturally more lively than Kyoto. In the past half a month, the threshold of the guards battalion has been almost broken by officials of all sizes.

However, now all the officials know that the newly appointed commander of the Guards Battalion, Lord Wu, is not soft and hard, and those who give gifts, visit the door, and change their prescriptions are almost touched. But even so, at this special time, every time Wu Ming went out, he was cautious, not daring to go straight to the door, only daring to sneak out through the side door.

Zhu Xiaolong now comes to Wu Ming almost every day, pestering him to ask this and that. I don't know what the reason is, even if Wu Ming goes out every time, he can find Wu Ming accurately. Every time Wu Ming asked him, this kid was mysterious, and he talked about him left and right. Wu Ming looked at him, and he didn't have the interest to ask further, Zhu Huai was in Nanning, it can be said that he was covering the sky with one hand, and his grandson wanted to find himself, and if he didn't deliberately dodge, he just used the power in his hand casually. Thinking of this, he was not surprised.

Today is the Lantern Festival, according to the agreement with Zhu Huai, after today, Lin Yinghuan will end this southern visit, and will leave for the north tomorrow. Wu Ming will also go to the north as a representative of the south to discuss the matter of north-south cooperation, which is doomed to be a failure. Every time Wu Ming thought about it, he couldn't lift his spirits a little, but since he was going to the north, he had to prepare.

Now there is not a single retinue in the entire Guards battalion, and everything has to be prepared by itself. In the afternoon, he said hello to Yang Xiong, who was training with the soldiers, and he slipped out of the side door alone, ready to buy something by himself and get ready. Today is a rare good day, even with Nanning City is full of people, Wu Ming looked at the endless flow of people, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he will go to the north tomorrow, even if there is no request from Zhu Huai, he will go to Kyoto. Yululi let herself give a letter to the wine priest, and still carried it in her arms. And as the commander of the Guards Battalion, out of politeness, why did he go down to the Cangsong Pavilion to meet one of the grandmasters who stood at the peak of his personal strength. Another important thing is to investigate in Kyoto to see if you can find the Xuanyuan Spirit, or get some clues.

When Zhang Hao was there, he prepared all the expenses properly, and Wu Ming naturally didn't have to worry about these daily trivialities. In the past, when he was on earth, his father was very strict with him, and this daily life was naturally one of the homework that must be done. But now I am used to living a life of "clothes to stretch out my hands, food to open my mouth", and suddenly I have to take care of myself, but I am not used to it. Fortunately, the daily use store in Nanning is not difficult to find, just pull a few pedestrians a little and ask.

The city of Nanning is very well planned, and all the daily grocery stores are fixed on several streets, in the four directions of Nanning. The Guards Battalion was in the north of Nanning City, so Wu Ming chose a grocery street in the north of the city and rushed over. Although there were people on the street, when I arrived at the entire grocery street, I found that there were not many businesses operating inside. It's no wonder that most of the businessmen have gone back to their hometowns for the New Year, and now there is no Lantern Festival, so naturally few have opened.

Wu Ming casually picked a grocery store that looked quite large, and then walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard a female voice inside: "Boss, just order cloth like this, and it costs three taels of silver, aren't you robbing it?" ”

This voice is very familiar, it is Xiaobi's voice. Wu Ming was a little surprised, since he sent Xiaobi to Tao Yu, he went to visit Tao Yu and saw her after the New Year, but it was inconvenient for Tao Yu to come forward at that time. At that time, seeing that she was busy, Wu Ming didn't bother her, but he didn't expect to meet here.

When he walked in, he saw Xiaobi holding a large bundle of colorful silk cloth in her hand, bargaining with a fat boss. He walked in the door and said hello: "Xiaobi." ”

When Xiaobi saw that it was Wu Ming, her face was happy at first, but her face immediately changed, she threw the cloth in her hand on the counter, and said with a sigh: "Uncle, it's you." ”

The last time Wu Ming left Tao Yu's residence, she changed her mouth to call Wu Ming her uncle, and Wu Ming didn't want to talk about her, so she nodded when she heard the words, and said: "Yes, you also buy things, isn't the Governor's food, clothing, housing and transportation all taken care of by the Governor?" You really need it, just call and say hello to the internal affairs officer of the Governor's Palace, why are you all the way here? ”

Xiaobi looked around in a panic and said softly, "Nothing?" It's just that I want to make some new clothes, but I can't use the silk cloth of the government. As soon as he finished speaking, he saluted Wu Ming, and then walked towards the door in a panic: "Uncle, I'll leave first, and I'll say hello to you another day." ”

Wu Ming looked at the bundle of flower cloth, but he smiled secretly in his heart: "The little girl is thin-skinned after all, and she makes some new clothes by herself, what are you doing so nervous?" ”

Before he could think of it, he heard a sudden "ouch" sound outside the door, which was Xiaobi's voice. When he turned his head to look, he saw Xiaobi rubbing his forehead, her eyes were shining with tears, her face was flushed, and she was staring at Zhu Xiaolong. Zhu Xiaolong was rubbing his chest and exclaimed a little exaggeratedly: "This sister, what are you doing in such a hurry?" It hurt my chest. ”

Wu Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that Zhu Xiaolong followed him to find him today, but he didn't expect that he bumped into Xiaobi who was in a hurry to go out, but this kid had a young heart, and what he said had a bit of a flirtatious taste. Sure enough, Xiaobi's apricot eyes suddenly widened, her willow eyebrows were raised, and she was about to get angry, but a soft voice came from outside the door, and Zhu Yuqing's voice came from far away: "Xiaolong, are you causing trouble again?" Why don't you apologize to someone? ”

Wu Ming was taken aback, since the last time he had a long talk with Zhu Huai, he had avoided Zhu Yuqing intentionally or unintentionally. I am afraid that when I see this woman who is almost no different from He Yi, and make a gaffe, I will really jump into the Yellow River and I can't wash it away.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the curtain of the grocery store flash, and a delicate pale yellow figure had already come in from the outside with a fresh breeze. Then he lifted the wind shield on his head, revealing a pretty face that I saw You Pian, who else could there be if it wasn't Zhu Yuqing? Her bright eyes glanced at Wu Ming first, and blinked slightly reproachfully. Then he turned his head and whispered to Zhu Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, tell you to be careful, you see, you bumped into this sister, don't you apologize to this sister quickly." ”

As she spoke, she was about to pull Zhu Xiaolong, and Zhu Xiaolong muttered, naturally the boss was reluctant to do so, and he was at this noisy moment. The shopkeeper had already run up and stammered a little, "Zhu, Miss Zhu, what do you want?" The small shop has daily necessities, all kinds of gadgets, as well as jewelry and fabrics. If you like something, please do not hesitate to ask for the small one, and the best one will be sent to you immediately. ”

Zhu Yu stroked Yun Sideburns, and said gently and implicitly: "Thank you, boss, I'm here today, just looking for someone, not buying anything, I'm bothering you." This time the style was fully displayed, and Wu Ming secretly said that it was fatal. Although this Zhu Yuqing is no different from He Yi's appearance. However, because he grew up in the governor's house and received a much better upbringing, his temperament is invisibly very different from that of He Yi.

If He Yi is a plum blossom that is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, it has an appearance that does not stand through the wind, but it stands strong and resolute in the cold wind and snow. That Zhu Yuqing is a pitiful, elegant and refined orchid in the mountains, every move, every smile, people can't help but be intoxicated. No wonder this little girl has so many "fans" in Nanning, her identity as the daughter of the governor is one thing, but it is not unrelated to her own temperament.

When she entered the door just now, she had already removed the windshield on her head, and she was clearly seen by the shopkeeper. Seeing Zhu Yuqing's appearance now, the shopkeeper was already stunned, standing in place, not knowing how to answer.

Xiaobi's face changed, she looked Zhu Yuqing up and down a few times, then glanced at Wu Ming, and said a little sourly: "This must be Miss Zhu Er, who is famous in Jiangnan and has the elegant name of 'talent and appearance'." I don't know, what's the matter with coming to my aunt today? ”

Zhu Yuqing was suddenly surprised, a pair of big eyes turned, glanced at Wu Ming again, and then smiled slightly, and said: "There is a new female official named Xiaobi in the Niangniang Department of Jiuwen Xianzhuang, who was originally the maid next to Princess Mengling. He is fine and beautiful, and his personality is even more straightforward, and he does not let his eyebrows go. When I saw it today, it was really a beautiful woman who was difficult to describe. ”

Xiaobi has been with Xuanyuan Ling for a long time, and she didn't learn much else, so she learned seven or eight points. At this time, Zhu Yuqing replied like this, but choked her very lightly, she stood in place, for a while, she didn't know what to do, but it was no different from Zhu Xiaolong's appearance just now. After a while, he muttered: "Miss Zhu praised, Miss Zhu praised." ”

Wu Ming suddenly wanted to laugh, the last time Xiaobi was in the guard camp, Wu Ming hurt a lot, this morning, Tian Hong also called Wu Ming to call Xiaobi to sew two new clothes for his future uncle, which was also used when he went to Kyoto. But I didn't expect that I would meet my nemesis now, if Xuanyuan Ling met Zhu Yuqing in the future, what would it be like?

Thinking of this, his body shook violently, what was wrong with him? He Yi's bones are not cold, but where did he think of it? I immediately blamed myself in my heart, and I couldn't wait to slap myself twice immediately to relieve my anger.
