Scolding and scolding, that dish still has to be done well, who calls himself to ask for others now? You have to look like you're asking for someone, right?

It didn't take long for Du Xiaomeng to buy things back from the vegetable market. She bought all the taro in the market, no matter the size and type. Seeing that she bought more, several hawkers also specially sent a representative to pack the taro, carry it on their shoulders and follow her to deliver it to the door.

The kitchen of the General's Mansion was close to the back door, and Du Xiaomeng walked directly to the back door without leaving the door. Some distance from the back door, she saw a beautiful carriage with a royal blue lid and a gold and black body parked in front of the door.

Who came to the General's Mansion as a guest? It's strange to have the front door and run to the back door.

Just when Du Xiaomeng felt strange, Xiaohong and Qiu Sha walked out of it, they didn't see Du Xiaomeng not far away, and they boarded the carriage directly as soon as they went out.

Today, Qiusha was dressed very differently than usual, she wore a leather hat decorated with multicolored feathers and beads, a yellow lapel-length knee-length robe with narrow sleeves inlaid with white fluff on the collar, a pair of leather boots with fur edges on her feet, and two white fluff balls swinging around at the heels.

Qiu Sha's outfit made Du Xiaomeng involuntarily stop. She had seen this kind of dress similar to that of Mongolian, and the two masked men who kidnapped her last time were wearing this kind of clothing.

Qiusha usually doesn't go out, and during the days when Du Xiaomeng went to the General's Mansion, she invited her to go out shopping together several times, but she was rejected every time. I saw her go out today, and she was wearing a completely different costume from usual.

The carriage started, slowly drove past Du Xiaomeng's side, and gradually walked away.

Du Xiaomeng retracted her gaze and asked the people around her curiously: "Xiaoliu, where is my sister going to dress like this today?" ”

Liu Lu said: "What Mrs. Qiu is wearing today is the costume of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. In the days when the month is approaching the end of the month, Mrs. Qiu will definitely go out to the light of the north one day. ”

"Light of the North?" Du Xiaomeng was puzzled.

Liu Lu then explained: "The Light of the North is a restaurant opened by the Northern Barbarians, and it is the favorite meeting place of the Northern Barbarians in the capital. ”

Du Xiaomeng now understood. What kind of place will the Northern Light gather be for the Northern Barbarians? She was a little curious, and she must see it if she has the opportunity in the future.

The Light of the North, which opens in the north of the capital near the outskirts of the city, occupies a large area and is divided into three parts: front, middle and back.

In front are two large white cloth tents with symmetry on the left and right, and a passage about three meters wide between the two tents allows people to pass through; After walking through the two tents and walking ten meters forward, you will see a three-storey building, which is not much different from other restaurants in the capital, and you will only find a big difference when you enter the store; There are large open spaces on the left and right sides of the store for guests to park their horses; Behind the shop is the kitchen and a sheepfold with a large flock of sheep.

The beautiful carriage with a royal blue cover ran for more than half an hour before finally reaching its destination. The carriage went straight to the door of the Light of the North and stopped, Xiaohong jumped out of the car first, and then helped Qiusha to get out of the car.

Qiusha walked towards the store, Xiaohong did not follow, but parked the car next to the store with the driver, and the two sat in the car and waited. Her wife is far away from her homeland, and only in this place can she feel the breath of her homeland, and every time she comes here, her wife likes to be alone in the wing room to remember her hometown, and she and the coachman are waiting outside the store.

The restaurant of Northern Light does not have tables and chairs like ordinary restaurants, but uses soft and low tables, and the tables are filled with exotic lamb skewers, grilled lamb and other foods, and in addition, there is a heavy smell of goat's milk in the air. Many men and women wearing Beiban costumes sat together in groups of three or five, speaking Beiban dialect loudly, drinking wine and eating meat, so lively!

Qiu Sha walked through a row of low tables and walked directly to the third floor.

Seeing her enter the door, a shopkeeper wearing a Beiban costume had already run to a wing room on the third floor one step ahead of her, opened the door, and welcomed her in. When she walked into the wing, the shopkeeper withdrew and closed the door.

A few steaming dishes had already been prepared on the low table in the wing.

Qiusha walked over and sat down on the soft floor, took the flask on the low table and poured two glasses of wine. There was a noise on the wall opposite her, and then, with a few movements of the large carpet hanging on the wall, a burly man in a dark green robe with narrow sleeves and a high nose lifted the carpet and walked out from behind.

The man walked straight to the low table, sat opposite Qiusha, took the wine glass she handed over, drank all the contents of the glass, then put down the wine glass and asked, "Has something special happened recently?" ”

Qiusha shook her head and said, "No." But......" she looked at the man in front of her, "I want you to spy on someone for me." ”

The man asked, "Who?" ”

Qiu Sha gracefully drank the wine in the cup and said slowly: "The new lady in the general's mansion." ”

"New lady?" The man looked at Qiusha suspiciously.

Qiusha said, "That's right. There's a good chance that that woman will be a stumbling block to our plans, and for safety, I need you to monitor her every move outside of the General's Mansion. ”

The man wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Wouldn't it be okay to kill the people who hinder our plan?" ”

Qiusha said, "No! Have you forgotten the task on us? The last kidnapping incident has made such a big move, and if we kill people again, it will be a surprise, and it will ruin the work we have been doing for a long time. ”

The man thought for a moment, let go of his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then do as you say." ”

A seductive smile bloomed at the corner of Qiusha's mouth, and she lifted the flask and poured a full glass of wine for the man, saying, "Thank you." ”

The man looked at her smile and was stunned. It took him a while to come to his senses, and he smiled and raised his glass to drink the wine.

What happened in the Light of the North, no third person knew.

didn't know that he had been targeted, Du Xiaomeng's life was still very peaceful. She was waiting for Xiao Gongzi's reply, but she waited for two days before she moved.

Xiao Gongzi didn't come to her, but just wrote a letter and asked her to send it in and hand it to her.

The envelope was written with a few concise words, "The General's Wife Personally Opened", but the letter inside was a five-page paper written in a crepe-like manner, and the twists and turns of the words made Du Xiaomeng dizzy, and she almost saw her eyes black and spit blood. She read the letter three times, and finally picked out a few key words from the pile of words, and barely understood the meaning of the letter.

The content of the five-page letter is actually very simple, that is, after a few days of hard thinking about not being able to eat and sleep, Xiao Gongzi still felt that the job of a helper in the general's mansion was not suitable for him, so he decided not to come to the general's mansion and continued to stay in the small workshop.

After reading it, burn the letter on the fire. Du Xiaomeng sighed lightly, she understood Xiao Gongzi's thoughts, he definitely didn't want to accept the favor of a man who had a relationship with his wife.

has lived in a utilitarian society that values interests and effectiveness for many years, although Du Xiaomeng understands Xiao Gongzi's thoughts, he doesn't understand them. Is face really that important? As long as the end goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter what the process is.

People have their own aspirations, and it is not good to impose their own ideas on others and force others to accept what they think is good. Since Xiao Gongzi is unwilling, then respect his wishes and find other ways to help them.
