After getting down the carriage and following the cousin into the inn, there were not too many people inside, most of them were sitting on the table drinking and chatting in twos and threes, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about, the cousin led us up to the second floor, and said to us enthusiastically: "Our inn is the best one here in Zhengzhou." ”

I smiled uninhibitedly in my heart, but any merchant would say this to a customer.

The cousin glanced at me and said, "Don't believe this girl, it looks deserted at this moment, but when it is noon, our inn will start to tell stories, and there will be many sons, and it will be difficult to find a place." ”

I asked, "Storytelling?" ”

Seeing that I was interested, the cousin said, "Yes, what kind of story, anecdotes, palace secrets, everything," he said, his eyes swept over Zaiyan, "I see that the two of you are from other places, you must come down to listen to it when you have time, only listen to it once on two copper plates, the secrets in the palace garden, the interesting things in the mansion, you can make your own money if you have money, you can't buy it at a loss, you can't be fooled!" ”

Hearing this, Zai Yan and I couldn't help but glance at each other.

Soon, we arrived at the guest room, which was the first one in the hallway. The cousin led us in, and then diligently poured us two cups of tea, and I sat down with Zai Yan to drink tea, but after a long time, the cousin still lingered in the same place and did not go out.

Jae-yan glanced back at him and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The cousin smiled and said: "Seeing that the two of you are well-dressed, they don't look like poor people somewhere, how can the girl and the master only open one room when they are obviously two people?" ”

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The cousin took two steps closer to me, bent down and whispered in my ear: "Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and it is not good for the reputation of the eldest girl's family to spread the word of cocoa." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile.

Zai Yan sighed, put down the teacup leisurely on one side, and raised his hand to slowly pull the rope belt of the cousin to pull him to his side, his eyes just staring at the cousin.

The cousin was puzzled, and his expression was inevitably a little flustered and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

Zai Yan let go of the cousin, flicked his body, got up from the chair gently, quietly took me in his arms and said, "You really don't have the eyesight to see it, this girl is the lady." ”

The cousin raised his eyebrows, "Madam?" Then, he looked at me left and right at me, as if he had never believed me.

Zai Yan shook his head, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I see that you are not the first to covet, and you will not be the last, so I will forgive you for your unintentional mistake for the time being." ”

After a while, the cousin was still looking at me in the same place, without the slightest intention of leaving, he was like looking at a sculpture, and I never felt that I was so attractive, so I pouted helplessly.

Zai Yan slapped the back of the hall and said, "Don't go out yet?" ”

Only then did the cousin come to his senses and laughed: "It's a little clumsy!" If the lord and the lady still need anything, just call the little one to come up, and the little one is busy on the first floor! After speaking, the cousin scratched his head before slowly withdrawing.

Zai Yan looked at me and sighed heavily, "It turns out that it is safest to lock you up in the harem." ”

I laughed, "What? As soon as the words "The emperor ......" came out, Zai Yan glared at me, I was busy suppressing my voice, and after a while, I said again: "Do you still want to go back?" ”

Zai Yan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Of course not," and said, "But you look at the look in Fang Cai's cousin as if he is going to eat you, how can I rest assured that it is so dangerous outside?" ”

I smiled, held my chin with my hand and looked out the window and asked, "Has the emperor ever come out to play before?" ”

Zai Yan said: "No. ”

I asked, "Not once?" ”

Zai Yan said: "I entered the palace and ascended the throne at the age of three, you don't know who Lafayette is, where do I have a chance?" ”

Hearing this, my heart suddenly softened, he said this as if he was talking about other people's things, I retracted my gaze to stare at Zaiyan and said: "Twenty-seven years in the Forbidden City, Shengsheng was under house arrest by Lafayette for twenty-seven years, it is really poor Zaiyan, it will be fine in the future, whether you want to travel through the mountains and rivers, whether you want to cross the ocean, Zhen'er will accompany you." ”

He stared at me for a moment, then whispered, "Don't lie." ”

I nodded.

Then, he planned: "I want to take you to Uriya Sutai to see Zhirui first, when I was young, you had the best relationship with Zhirui, after all, it was your second brother, I know you still remember him in your heart," halfway through the words, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Then I will take you together in a sunny place, roll the incense wind and bead curtains, watch the fish turn the algae, and the heron lights the smoke." ”

I smiled and said, "That's Jiangnan." ”

Zai Yan said with a smile: "When I was young, the first poem I read in the poetry anthology was to sing Jiangnan. ”

I smiled and asked, "What is it?" ”

He said: "It is the "Song of Entering the Dynasty" by Qi Xie of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture.

With green water, Zhu Lou was handed up.

Fly the road and weeping poplars in the ditch.

The wings are covered high, and the drums are stacked to send the Chinese wheel.

Dedicated to the PTZ watch, the fame can be received.

I laughed and deliberately quipped: "It turns out that you are coveting the little girl in Jiangnan!" ”

Zai Yan raised his hand and knocked me on the head, "What nonsense! Smiling lightly, he added: "Jiangnan is a rich and beautiful place, and it was once used as the capital by many emperors. In Xie Wei's heart, Jiangnan is grand. The same is true in my heart. ”

I looked at him and said, "Do you know that literati and artists have always magnified the goodness of a place infinitely, but what if you go and find that it is not so good?" ”

He smiled, "But it's not in vain, some things have to be seen with your own eyes." ”

In modern times, I am a real Jiangnan woman, born in Qinhuai and grew up in Qinhuai.

That Jinling is my favorite hometown.

After thinking for a moment, I said: "The city wall surrounds the winding moat, in spring, the green waves ripple, the scenery is charming, standing on the city wall and looking up into the distance, you can see the layers of high-rise buildings, row upon row, under the illumination of the sun, the crystal color appears brilliant." ”

He asked me, "Really?" ”

I looked at him with a smile, "About the same." ”

He laughed, "You haven't been, how do you know?" ”

I wrinkled my eyebrows, "How do you know I haven't been?" ”

Zai Yan asked: "Didn't you follow Changshan in Guangzhou before coming to the capital?" ”

I smiled deeply, "Can't I go somewhere else with my brothers and sisters?" ”

Zai Yan seemed to believe it and said: "I've never heard you talk about it." ”

I stared at him and said, "You didn't ask me!" Then he smiled and said, "How do I know that you are so yearning to go to Jiangnan?" ”

After a while, Zai Yan looked back at me and said, "Now you know?" ”

I smiled and asked softly, "Before...... How come I've never heard of you? ”

Zai Yan sighed: "Who knew that I would sit in the inn with you now? ”

I asked, "You haven't even thought about sneaking out once?" ”

Zai Yan lowered his eyes, "I thought about it," he said, and he took my hand and said, "But it was Zhen'er you who gave me hope, I was originally a person with a dead heart, until I met Zhen'er You, I realized that God did not give up on me completely, and occasionally made me gentle, and often surprises will appear when I am most inadvertent." ”
