On this day, it was the fourth day of the new year, Shen Mengxi watched Sun Shiyi Niang and Yu'er talking together, and asked Qingfeng to change her clothes. Qingfeng was ruthless, and his subordinates used force, tightened the white cloth, and then tied the tie in a knot. Shen Mengxi snorted,——It's so tight!" I can't breathe.

Looking down at the turbulent waves, I reached out and brushed back and forth a few times, which felt very peculiar.

Shen Mengxi can't comb his hair or tie his hair now. In the past six months, clothes have come to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths, and they can't take care of themselves.

Now, she wears a soft foot hood on her head, two feet hang down from the back of her neck, the wide white round-neck shirt makes her neck appear more small, and a leather shirt is tied around her waist, with a money bag and a knife hanging on it, for this kind of practice of hanging everything out to show the public, Shen Mengxi is very helpless, just now Qingfeng hung a circle for her, as well as sachets, fans, pen and ink, like enough shelves, she couldn't bear it, she took it off without hesitation.

No matter how you dress up, she is too small and has no Adam's apple, so she can see that she is a woman at a glance.

Fortunately, at this time, there are also a lot of women dressed in men's clothes, in order to travel conveniently, without wearing a hat, as long as they do not go out alone, no one criticizes.

- It took off the fence in the past two years, and now I don't even want to wear a hat.

Duoxi was young, dressed as a little girl, and followed Shen Mengxi out, she was excited to carry a burden, and she was so embarrassed in front of other maids, the princess was pregnant and gave birth, plus she was recuperating, she hadn't been to the market for a year, and she took her with her when she went shopping, which made her very proud.

Luoyang City has a history of 4,000 years of civilization, Luoshui flows through the city, water conservancy and transportation is very convenient, in recent years, the eastern capital of Luoyang has been changed to the capital of the gods, and expanded, Luoyang City is more prosperous.

Luoyang City has the South City, the North City and the West City. Beishi is located in the north of Luoshui, along the Cao Canal in the south, can pass through the big boat, there are a variety of industries such as incense shop, financial silk shop, silk shop, etc., and there are many Hu businessmen doing business here. Xishi and Nanshi are located in the south of Luohe, surrounded by the residences of dignitaries and dignitaries, mainly to operate daily commodities, and Nanshi occupies two lanes, which is the largest of the three markets. In the city, there are iron shops, pen shops, meat shops, jewelry shops, wine shops, restaurants, fierce shops, piano shops, mules and horses, embroidery shops, etc., everything, gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and fur from all over the country gather here, and then from here to all parts of the country, and even the Western Regions, Japan and other places.

Shen Mengxi went to Nanshi, there are about 400 shops on the street around the square, people come and go on the street, the river flows endlessly, and there is a canal passing through the northeast corner of Nanshi, and the cargo ships shuttle, which is extremely busy.

Shen Mengxi and Duoxi went shopping one by one, and there were not many people who looked at them, but they were lively, and they met many women dressed in men's clothes like her, and the people of Luoyang were not surprised, and no one looked sideways. The merchants in the shops all wear black, and most of the people on the street wear white clothes, it is really the era of white clothes, and most of the shops are very clean, and they really love clean Tang Dynasty people.

For an hour, but after a little walk, Shen Mengxi was fine, Duoxi had become a soft-footed shrimp, but he didn't dare to complain. The two found a restaurant, asked for an upstairs private room, ordered some soup cakes, that is, noodles, and served a plate of roasted mutton, fish and salt, a combination of soil and ocean, Duoxi didn't dare to dine with the princess, Shen Mengxi asked her to bring the meal to a corner of the room, and said that it was not enough to order again, Duoxi listened to the corners of her mouth, almost crying, Shen Mengxi couldn't understand her crying, and hurriedly signaled her to eat quickly.

After the meal, there was a plate of grapes, eating, suddenly heard the noise on the street downstairs, it turned out to be a thief stealing meat in the meat shop, and was chased and killed by the proprietress of the meat shop, Shen Mengxi remembered that the meat shop closest to this restaurant was at least five hundred meters away, the woman was in her thirties, she was running and scolding, holding a knife in one hand, holding a skirt in the other, her steps were fast, and her words were clear, and she didn't delay, the thief ran almost foaming at the mouth, and was intercepted by Wu Hou who was wearing a uniform in front of him, and turned around in a hurry, and was twisted by the boss lady who caught up. Almost picked it up. Looking at the raised knife, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy.

Wu Hou stepped forward to stop the proprietress of the butcher shop, and a rope chain took away the thief. The bitter boss also followed to Wuhou Shop, and she still scolded endlessly along the way.

Shen Mengxi and Duoxi were lying on the window, watching with relish.

Before the crowd dispersed, I saw a few ladies throwing flowers, fruits, and sachets at a handsome young man, very bold, Shen Mengxi picked up the grape grains in his hand, thinking about whether to join in the fun and throw them.

Seeing that Duoxi next to him had already thrown a grape out, right in the middle of the man's head, that Lang Jun looked up, just in time to see Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi turned his head to see that Duoxi had squatted down in fright, and helplessly spread his hands at the man, expressing his innocence. The man was not surprised, chuckled, and walked on his way unconcernedly.

After dinner, I went to a few more shops to eat, bought pen and ink for Yin'er, and bought some snacks and bits and pieces for Yu'er and Jian'er, and planned to go home.

Luoyang City has a population of one million, living in an area of more than 50 square kilometers, and the business districts are concentrated in the south city, the north city, and the west market, and the opening and closing times are unified, and the curfew is implemented at night, so the prosperity and liveliness of the south city can be imagined during the day.

Yongtai Avenue in the south of Nanshi, connects Tianjie to the west, leads to Jianchun Gate to the east, is 50 meters wide, 8,000 meters long, the cars and horses on the street are orderly, a scene of national peace and security.

Their carriage stopped at the fixed carriage station on the side of the road, and Taxi's burden bulged, but it was not heavy, and she was eating a sugar cake in her hand, and her eyes narrowed with satisfaction.

"What a foodie!" Shen Mengxi smiled and turned around urging her to leave quickly.

A person ran over on the front, collided with Shen Mengxi, staggered back a few steps, and exclaimed: "Princess! "Hurriedly hold on.

When he heard the word princess, he suddenly stopped, knelt on the ground and kowtowed wildly, Shen Mengxi hurriedly drank him, but it still attracted the curiosity of the people.

"What's going on?"

"Isn't this the little thief Cao San'er? It's a habit of stealing here! ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to mess with someone I shouldn't be messed with today, look at him so scared!"

The four guards quietly approached Shen Mengxi's side, and she gestured to them not to act rashly.

She didn't plan to embarrass the half-grown child, she just wanted to solve it quickly, so she was ready to let the half-old child get up and leave quickly.

"Bold Dog Slave!" Hearing only a coquettish reprimand, Shen Mengxi turned around and saw that the county lord of Anning was also dressed in men's clothes, and a servant girl dressed as a small maid came in from outside the crowd, and the little maid was holding two horses in his hands, and the crowd of onlookers obediently gave way out, and no one dared to complain.

Before Shen Mengxi could react, An Ning had already picked up the horsewhip in his hand, slashed his head and face and slammed it at the kneeling man, and the half-grown child kept wailing and begging for mercy.

An Ning crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at the man with a horsewhip with the other, "Why don't you hand it over quickly?" ”

The man knelt on his body and groped, trembling and holding up an object with both hands, Shen Mengxi looked at it, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out to touch his waist, and sure enough, the money bag was gone. In a fit of rage, he snatched back the money bag and kicked the thief. The two Wuhou patrolling the street happened to pass by, and when they heard the sound, they hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and looked up and down at the costumes of several people.

The martial marquis didn't dare to offend, and asked politely, Shen Mengxi didn't want to reveal her identity, first, she didn't want to show off, and second, she still wanted to visit the unfinished Nanshi next time, but An Ning pointed at the little thief menacingly, "Don't wait to tie up that thief quickly!" Dare to rob the princess's money bag, I don't know how many heads he has! ”

The two Wuhou were shocked, although they knew that there were many powerful people in this god capital, but they had never seen the princess, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, and the people around them also knelt down, and the four guards also knelt down with the crowd, and the little thief kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even called for mercy.

Shen Mengxi was speechless and looked at the sky.

When the two Wuhou looked at the little thief, they immediately scolded: "Cao San'er, it's you again!" I didn't eat enough food in prison, and my skin was itchy again, right, I actually dared to steal Her Royal Highness the Princess's money bag! Your whole family won't have enough heads to chop off! ”

A passer-by next to him answered, "Jin Wuhou, Cao San'er is an orphan and has no family, just his head!" ”

The crowd laughed lowly.

In the end, the thief with two whip marks on his face was taken away by Wuhou, and An Ning was still angry, angry, and I don't know where she was so angry. The maidservant who threw the whip to her followed Shen Mengxi's carriage and went to the princess's mansion. In the past half a year, Shen Mengxi has hardly posted to An Ning, An Ning is a little uneasy, this time he met in Nanshi, naturally he will not miss it.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Mengxi closed his eyes and recuperated without saying a word, An Ning finally noticed her displeasure at this time, and Duoxi was also silent.

Nanshi is not far from the track, but An Ning feels that this road seems to be at the end of the road, she doesn't dare to go out, it is easy to get to the gate of the princess's mansion, she got out of the car first, stood next to the car, did not dare to move, Shen Mengxi entered the door She hesitated and did not dare to follow, don't look at the princess's usual gentle appearance, especially when facing the horse, but if she loses her temper, it is definitely not something she can bear, this Luoyang City, no, the entire Tang Dynasty, the queen of heaven is the biggest woman, and Princess Taiping is definitely the second.

Shen Mengxi turned around and asked coldly, "Why don't you enter?" ”

"Tranquility.... An Ning didn't dare..."

"Don't dare? Aren't you very good at making ideas for me? ”

"Princess!" An Ning cried out pleadingly, and her body was lowered.

"Enough!" Shen Mengxi stopped her: "Your mother is a princess!" Don't fall in her face on the street! ”

An Ning cried out when she heard this, and squatted on the ground, "What about the princess?" My mother has already died, and in the huge Luoyang, who else can care about me! "Covering his face with his hands, tears oozing from his fingers, he has completely disregarded his image.

Shen Mengxi glanced at Duoxi, and Duoxi hurriedly helped An Ning into the princess's mansion.

Hearing the sound of the several children who came out to greet her, they were all startled when they saw the peace of crying, Sun Shiniang, a sincere child, has not returned home until now, and has always accompanied Yu'er, she saw the peace of crying, and shrank her body uneasily.

"Anning, don't scare the children, don't cry. This is Sun Yicheng's granddaughter, Eleven Niang, who is now teaching me medical science, but what about my little teacher. ”

Sun Shiniang hurriedly saluted An Ning, although An Ning was annoyed, but she couldn't, wiped away her tears, and quickly returned to a cold state.

Sun Shiyi Niang reported a day's teaching to Shen Mengxi, praised the eldest lady for her unusual intelligence, reciting the soup song quickly and well, and offered to say goodbye. Shen Mengxi took out the gadgets he bought for the children, and also gave Sun Shiniang a delicate noodle figure, a box of pearl flowers given by the palace, and sent a car to send her back.

As soon as this son and grandson Eleven Niang left, Shen Mengxi pulled down his face again.

Anning fell to the ground and cried, like mourning.

Shen Mengxi's head was as big as a bucket, so Qingfeng brought a bottle of wine and took two crystal glasses, "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, tranquility, get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows, don't cry, drink." ”

An Ning really drank cup after cup.

An Ning's name is Cheng Furong, the daughter of Princess Qinghe, and Taiping's cousin. In recent years, the two have been in contact a lot, and in Taiping's memory, An Ning is a good playmate and is also very good to her, and the two often play polo together and go out together.

Back then, her grandfather followed Taizong to make great contributions, and when it came to her father, except for Princess Shang Qinghe, he had no achievements, and he reached the limit from the general Guide of Sanpin.

The Wang family she married to is not the real Taiyuan Wang family, but the second son of the concubine of the side branch of the five suits.

An Ning gave birth to two daughters in a row, and her stomach did not move this year, so her mother-in-law took the initiative to send a concubine to her son, and the day before yesterday was round. An Ning's heart was like a stone, watching the little concubine kowtow to her for tea, and she couldn't wait to strangle her directly. When I went to the street to relax today, I happened to encounter Shen Mengxi's money bag being stolen, and my first reaction was to step forward and beat someone, as if it was the little slut and the hateful old pious woman.

Who knew that he didn't please the princess, but annoyed her because of his own opinions.

She recounted incoherently, tears streaming down her four glasses of wine.

Shen Mengxi's wine is just touching her lips, she doesn't comment, she just acts as a listener, and when she encounters repeated chattering plots, she automatically blocks it and thinks about her own affairs.

"It's not that I can't regenerate, the old pious woman didn't ask, and just stuffed me with a little slut! I'm only 22 years old, and I can still give birth! The queen was born to be 42 years old! Me too! "Everybody likes to look up to the royal family, dress up, behave in a way, even have children. An Ning leaned on a table, without sitting at all, holding a cup in one hand, tilting his head, and doing it again. Her face was red, her eyes were straight, her blisters were swollen like rotten peaches, and there were no tears.

"Drunk, huh? Let's send it to the room. When I went to Wang's house to deliver a letter, I said that Anning lived here with me. Tomorrow morning, when the house opens, send her back, you don't have to say goodbye to me, you go and send it to Qingfeng, give her a basket of melons and fruits sent by the saint, give her a bottle of my perfume, go. ”

There will be no peace on this day.
