Xu Jin fell asleep.

Finding that his breathing became long and slow, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the room, greeting Feng Mian. Feng Mian didn't even give her a look, but Hongxiu came over and showed off her sword body!

"He's sleeping, it's cold here, he has to catch a cold."

Shen Yan smiled, pushed the sword two fingers wide from his neck out, and pointed to the hidden door behind him.

Hongxiu snorted coldly and deliberately shook the sword body before turning his head and entering the house.

Feng Mian also came over at this time, passing by Shen Yan, and didn't say anything, just saluted.

In this city lord's mansion, the most pungent and capricious is Hongxiu, and the most etiquette is Fengmian. Although she is only Xu Jin's nominal concubine, this gift has never fallen.

Patting his somewhat hot face, Shen Yan stretched his waist, thinking to himself, how good it would be if there was an antidote to hangover, so he walked towards his courtyard.

A dreamless night.

……

Xu Jin sat on top of the mat, his slender fingers turning a pottery pot, thoughtful.

Qingcheng, one of the four guards, is good at collecting intelligence, mainly in charge of the dark web under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, covering the affairs of the world.

At this time, he bowed his head and reported: "The group of Westerners in the city have all the paperwork. It is certain that Yan Niang is not their person. ”

"What about the pirates who were seized?"

"Those who should be recruited and those who should not be recruited have been recruited, they originally only planned to pass through Jiangcheng, but in fact, the purpose is Suzhou." What Qingcheng said was the pirate ship that found the corn.

Xu Jin's clues about Shen Yan were suddenly broken.

"You keep an eye on the people over there in Suzhou. If you have too much appetite, you won't be able to tolerate him. ”

As soon as he let go of his hand, the pottery cup turned around on the desk a few times, his eyes contemptuous. The prefect of Suzhou has secretly interacted with pirates over the years, and he has become very rich.

It would have been okay if he had stopped in time, but this man was not greedy enough, and he became more and more closely associated with pirates!

"City Lord, do you really believe what Yan Niang said, and plan to plant that maize?"

Qingcheng remembered what happened at the banquet last night and asked. This maize was still collected by him with his troops, and he didn't see anything good about it.

Shen Yan's origin is unknown, and he remains skeptical of her words.

"There is a record of this in the book left by Elder Yan. You can't trust her, you should believe in Yan Lao. ”

"Since you have known about maize for a long time, why did you ...... last night?"

Xu Jin leaned on the soft backrest, her expression uncertain, "I just want to make sure if she is another Yan Lao." ”

Twenty years ago, Yan Lao came to Guzhou by boat. For hundreds of years, the ancient Zhou Dynasty has been in contact with the ocean-going feudal states, and silk porcelain and so on have been transported across the ocean by ship to exchange for spices and gold.

It's like the Maritime Silk Road.

For the blonde and blue-eyed Yan Lao, although the people are afraid, they have no malice. He stayed in Jiangcheng and left behind a book of sea country illustrated books before his death, which recorded what he saw and heard when he was a young man to a strange sea country.

Xu Jin used to just treat this book as a strange bizarre, until Qingcheng seized this box of corn.

In addition to the ocean-going feudal kingdoms, there are indeed unknown countries in the world! And Shen Yan knows!

However, Xu Jin thought to himself that he deliberately got drunk to test Shen Yan last night, but this woman was steady and did not reveal her bottom at all......

Shen Yan, who was praised by Xu Jin, was sleeping peacefully at the moment, her wine was excellent, but she was easy to fall asleep.

White wine with Sprite, she can drink a pound!

Sleep a pound for a day.

At noon, Xiaoqiu opened the curtain and saw that Shen Yan was still sleeping, hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "Yan Niang, Yan Niang, it's noon, if you don't get up again, there will be no Su cheese to drink." ”

"No, Su Cheese, Su Cheese ......"

“……”

Xiao Qiu stared, feeling that Yan Niang was really powerful, and she could sleep for seven or eight hours in one sleep! It's hard for her, she can still wake up.

Shen Yan opened his eyes in a daze, squinted and smiled, "I want to drink chilled Su cheese!" ”

"Got it!"

Seeing her get up, Xiaoqiu turned around and went out to prepare Su Cheese.

After coming to Gu Zhou for more than a month, Shen Yan has been able to skillfully wear a good dress and tie his hair in a bun. Today, she had nothing to do, so she casually wore a tender yellow round-necked shirt and skirt, and sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair.

In the mirror, she is much more delicate than before between her eyebrows and eyes.

With pure air and full cultivation, the skin is smooth, but this hair is still not very long, and it can only be tied casually with a headband.

After drinking Su cheese, Shen Yan felt refreshed.

At this time, someone came to visit outside the door.

"An Niang has seen Madame."

The beauty under the moon is under the sun, which is another touching. An Niang is also graceful in plain clothes without dancing clothes, with a light gait, and her eyes and gestures are just right.

Shen Yan yearns for beautiful things, and naturally loves such beauties.

"No need to be polite. Come, sit. ”

Shen Yan helped her up, and the two sat opposite each other in front of the collapse, and Xiaoqiu retreated after serving tea and pastries.

After chatting carefully, I found that An Niang not only danced gracefully, but also learned well, poetry and songs came easily, and famous classics were also like a number of treasures.

If it weren't for her miserable background, An Niang would not have made a living from dancing.

"Who in the world can be a wooden man with a stone heart? Hongchen is prosperous, and they are all blind. An Niang looked at Shen Yan with a smile, as if she meant something.

The city lord of Jiangcheng has a force in his hands, and since Shen Yan is his person, in the eyes of An Niang, he is not a good person!

"Can't do it. As long as you are still in this world, there will always be things to worry about, and people and things to worry about will be affected. ”

The realm of a person with a wooden man and a stone heart is too high, and it is not something that an ordinary person like her can do.

After listening to Shen Yan's words, An Niang asked rhetorically: "If you do something against morality for the sake of the people you are biased and concerned about, is it right or wrong?" ”

"People's hearts are all on the long side, there is no absolute right and wrong, absolute black and white, just different positions."

Shen Yan has always looked at things dialectically, she is not young, she has seen too much life and death in the emergency department, and she has long understood that there are not only black and white sides in the world.

An Niang nodded with a smile and got up to salute her.

"Yan Niang's words are right. Five days later, it will be the summer flower festival in Jiangcheng, which is the most lively at this time. If the banquet lady is free, you can find me to go on a tour with you. ”

"It's a deal."

Seeing off An Niang, Shen Yan felt a little sorry.

Listening to An Niang's words, she was afraid that she was forced to marry by Zhang Qi. Thinking of Zhang Qi's greedy eyes yesterday, Shen Yan felt a chill.

Although An Niang is a free body, most of the women under the feudal rules cannot control their own fate.

Even she herself is being crushed by Xu Jin at the moment, and it is difficult to protect herself.

……

After asking Xiaoqiu, Shen Yan knew that the Summer Flower Festival in Jiangcheng was a festival for enjoying flowers before the Chinese Valentine's Day every year, which was a good day.

On this day, the people will wear bright clothes and skirts to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers, eat flower cakes, and put lotus river lanterns, which is very lively. In order to enjoy the people, the curfew in the city will be delayed by an hour on this day.

Shen Yan has been nesting in the house since she came to Jiangcheng, and now An Niang invited her to go out to play, and her mind has already drifted to the Summer Flower Festival.
