"Yes." The guy nodded immediately, and actually looked at Su Jinyao, and then pointed at Su Jinyao and said, "When this girl was feeding the horses at the door, the boy stood in the distance and watched for a while, and then walked into the inn and said that he wanted to stay." Then he chose a room next to the girl. At the time, I thought he knew the girl, and asked him if he wanted to call her in to catch up. The boy shook his head and said that he didn't know her, but he saw that she was diligent and the horse was good-looking. ”

"And then?" The head of the officers and soldiers asked, but their eyes looked at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao was also confused when she heard this, and felt that this matter was becoming more and more strange. She obviously didn't even see whether the guests in this room were round or flat, so why did she finally push the problem onto her (shēn).

However, the guy's later words made Su Jinyao even more strange to hear.

The man said, "The boy said that he didn't know this girl, so I didn't have much to do and retreated." Then the wontons that the kitchen made for this girl were ready, and I brought them into the house and left. Unexpectedly, after a while, the boy came to call me, saying that the wontons in the girl's room had been left for a long time, and I was afraid that they would be pasted. I was asked to throw it out and make a new bowl, and then gave me back a piece of silver. ”

After speaking, the guy looked at Su Jinyao again and said to Su Jinyao: "Girl, the wonton you just ate that night is actually the fourth bowl I made after I poured out the first three bowls." The boy said that the wontons were not tasty, and asked me to make you a new bowl every once in a while. He gave the money, and told me not to tell you. ”

Belch!! Su Jinyao was completely stunned, and she didn't understand what the situation was at all.

People from Beijing?

Su Jinyao obviously felt that the young man he was talking about would not be Gu Xuebin, because his age was not right.

But why does he care so much about himself? is so concerned that he doesn't even care if the wontons he wants to eat are going to be pasted?

After hearing this, the leaders of the officers and men were also stunned. Looking at Su Jinyao again, the eyes were strange. Then he asked Su Jinyao directly, "Have you seen any guests in this house?" What the hell is that kid coming from? ”

Of course, Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "When I came back, the door of this house was closed. I'm a girl's house, it's not very convenient to go out, of course, it's better to have more things behind closed doors than less, so how can I care about the man next door. Besides, I don't even know about these things that the guy said. ”

The head of the officers and soldiers listened to Su Jinyao's words while looking her up and down. I always felt that the girl in front of me was really unprovoked, and just that kind of bearing made people unconsciously give birth to a little admiration (qíng).

This head originally intended to take her back for strict interrogation, but he really didn't know her path and background, so he had to ask again: "What you said is the truth?" Do you dare to confront me at the government? ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "I don't need to confront you, I can guarantee that what I say is the truth." If you don't believe it, you can go to any Tongli Yinzhuang and inquire about the name 'Su Jinyao'. ”

Su Jinyao signed up for her surname before, and the head of the officers and soldiers didn't care, after all, this name didn't sound very special.

Now that Su Jinyao reiterated it again, he pondered it carefully. Although I still haven't heard of who "Su Jinyao" is, the person who can play the name of Tongli Yinzhuang must not be simple.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper brought a roster. handed it to the head of the officers and soldiers, and said: "My lord, please take a look, that young son is (rì) who lived in the store before Luo, and left his name as Shang Qing, a person from the capital." ”

"People from the capital? Shang Qing? The officers and men looked at the roster, muttering and frowning.

The girl in front of her is not easy to mess with, and the son from the capital seems to be not easy to mess with.

Although I felt that things (qíng) were weird, and I had never heard of which number one person "Shang Qing" was, the officials guarding the gate in the capital were much more senior than his team. The young man's coming and going is still so mysterious, it makes him a little difficult to choose.

After thinking about it, the head of the officers and soldiers closed the roster and said, "I will take this roster with me and report it to the adults for inspection." If I find anything untrue on it, I still have to go into detail. ”

With that, he waved his hand and walked away with the three minions. walked to the door, looked back at Su Jinyao, but didn't say much, and left with someone.

Su Jinyao knew that the head of the officers and soldiers had taken the chicken feathers and went back to the top of the tank.

obviously found something, but felt that the other party was very big, so instead of digging into the bottom of the problem to find someone, it was better to find a roster to hand over.

It is estimated that the lord of the government who ordered the raid may not have taken this matter to heart. The face matter (qíng) is done enough, let the people see that the officers and soldiers are spending their efforts to do things, and it will be okay to go through the motions.

As for the origin of the boy who never showed up?

Unless he is really a heinous and repeat offender, and such a person is most likely to be wanted by the government, no one will really pursue it to the end.

When the head of the officers and soldiers led the people away, the shopkeeper and his men came forward to apologize.

The shopkeeper said apologetically: "Girl, forgive me." The affairs of this government (qíng) are really not something that villains can control. If you cause trouble to the girl and interfere with your rest, we will compensate you. In this way, if the girl wants to stay for a few days, the shop will be free. By the way, I also wrapped the girl's one (rì) three meals, do you think it is feasible? Of course, the small shop is coarse, only coarse tea and light rice, and please don't mind the girl. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "This is less than a day's journey from my house, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I will not lose your store money." It's not easy for you to do business, I understand. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Then thank you for your generosity." Tomorrow's breakfast will still be prepared for the girl, and the girl can open her mouth for whatever she wants to eat. It was getting late, and he didn't dare to disturb the girl's rest anymore, and the villain retired. ”

The shopkeeper and the guy left, and Su Jinyao returned to the house to ponder carefully, feeling that this matter was really a strange mess.

First of all, she didn't know who that "quiet" son was. Take a seat, it seems that the young man next to her (shēn) is not the same age as this.

If you just talk about appearance, Gu Xuebin and Helian Tianqi are very good-looking, and the second prince Cang Qianmao is also good-looking.

But whether these three people can appear here and do such a strange thing (qíng) will not be said for the time being; Just the word "quiet", none of them can match the number.

Helian Tianqi is an unreliable comic; The real (xìng) son of the second prince is quite calm, but it is definitely not the word quiet.

Gu Xuebin is (xìng) introverted, and when he was young, he had a cold face and a cold style.

But in fact, after getting along for a long time, Su Jinyao concluded that Gu Xuebin was stuffy (sāo) (xìng) in his bones, and his mouth was also black, and he had a lot of ghost ideas. If you can do something like a stuffy stick (qíng), can you still be counted as a "quiet beautiful man"?

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Su Jinyao found that there was no such person in her mind.

So, could it be a trick to pick up girls by a certain noble son in Beijing? Su Jinyao re-filtered what the guy said before in her mind, and felt that there might be such a possibility, but it was not quite like it.

If it was really this quiet noble boy who took a fancy to him, he was careful and considerate to let the guy pour out the mushy wontons. So he's not going to be an unsung hero, is he?

First he paid for a few bowls of ravioli, but he didn't allow the guy to say that it was his idea.

Secondly, he didn't even come out of the door after doing a good deed, let alone looking for a chance to talk to Su Jinyao. Imagine if it's really a first sight (qíng), can you resist not saying a word to the other party and not look at each other a few times?

Finally, and the most suspicious, is why did he leave suddenly? And it went so quietly.

This made Su Jinyao wonder, is this son having another purpose? Maybe he was his target, but he didn't want to be exposed too early, so he secretly left before the officers and soldiers arrived.

Unable to figure out the mess in her head, Su Jinyao took a deep breath and had to let herself sleep first.

If she really wants to find this person, Su Jinyao can mobilize her secret agents to go to the capital to investigate this person named "Shang Qing". There's no need to speculate here.

The road is wide and has face

Perhaps because she thought it was too late the night before, Su Jinyao had planned to get up early (shēn) and go on the road, but she still overslept.

Fortunately, she hadn't slept until she had slept on the three poles, so she just moved (shēn) on the road at this time, and by the time she rushed back to Anji City, she was afraid that it would already be dark.

When the guy saw Su Jinyao rising, he greeted Su Jinyao with rice. He also said: "The shopkeeper made a special explanation last night, prepare a few more snacks and porridge cakes, and see what the girl (ài) eats, so she can eat more." ”

Su Jinyao felt that this shopkeeper really understood things, and this guy was not bad. He gave a small piece of broken silver, and settled the shop's money. After that, she asked the guy to bring her a few random breakfast snacks, and she said that after eating, it was time to leave.

Leaving the inn and preparing to go on the road, Su Jinyao found that there were officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth on the street, and it seemed that Luo Erchuang's group of mountain bandits were making a lot of noise, which made the neighboring Nanping Prefecture nervous.

But that's fine, those officers and soldiers are usually idle and don't do much (qíng), but now they can move their muscles and bones more.

Su Jinyao, a single (shēn) woman, walking on the street with a white horse of a divine steed, is still quite conspicuous.

Some officers and soldiers noticed Su Jinyao and looked up and down, as if they had the intention of coming forward to ask.

But it happened that the head who was checking in the inn yesterday passed by, and when he saw that it was Su Jinyao, he stopped his companion, and no one came to disturb Su Jinyao.

Only then was Su Jinyao able to go on the road quietly, and she passed through several towns along the way, and she also saw officers and soldiers patrolling around nervously.

It wasn't until most of Nanping Prefecture had passed that it was quiet. It is estimated that even if the government wants to make a fuss, it will not mobilize the officers and soldiers of the entire state.

What's more, Luo Erchuang has already been caught, everything is just a show, and a little away is simply too lazy to do it.

However, Su Jinyao was about to answer An Jicheng. After a short walk, you will be able to pass by Xiaozhang Village.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but speed up, and when she passed the intersection of Xiaozhang Village, she looked in the direction of Pingshan Village.

But if you think about it, if it's late today, you should go back to see (chūn) Niu and Siping another day. He didn't stay long, and urged the horse away.

Before dark, Su Jinyao saw the walls of Anji City. The time was a little faster than expected.

As soon as Su Jinyao arrived at the city gate, she saw Ma Liu and Dongzi waiting. It was Su Jinyao who had already sent a message in advance, telling them that she was coming back today.

Ma Liu has become a father, and he looks red, a little fatter than the last time I saw him.

Dongzi hurriedly came over to pick up the reins in Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "Master, this horse is even more handsome than the previous Da Hei." ”

Su Jinyao patted the white horse's neck and said, "Its name is Moyun, and it is indeed a good horse, but it is not good, and it is deceived by people." You have to lead it all the way, and if you ride it, you don't know when it will play (xìng) and throw people down. ”

Dongzi agreed, took the reins, took out a piece of bean cake from his pocket and handed it over, and said flatteringly: "Moyun, there is no place to place you in the city for the time being, you go with me to the carriage and horse to rest, don't worry, I will take good care of you." ”

It's just that I didn't expect that Moyun's (xìng) Zilie has a cold temper. Seeing that Dongzi was pleasing it with bean cakes, he didn't bow his head and eat it, but looked at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao said, "Eat, you follow him for the time being, and I will often go to see you." ”

Mo Yun ate the bean cake at this time, and after eating, he snorted, it seems that he will not lose his temper with Dongzi for the time being.

Su Jinyao asked Ma Liudao again, "How is your son?" It's really not enough to catch up with Xiaoying's production, but the gift money will not be less. ”

Ma Liu smiled and said: "Thanks to the master's blessing, I gave birth to a big fat boy of more than eight catties, but I worked hard for Xiaoying." The gift money is the lottery head, and I will not be polite to you, the master. It's late tonight, so I'll send my master back. Early tomorrow morning, I will let Xiaoying hold the tiger's head and show it to the master. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "No, no, I'll just go over and take a look for myself when I have time." The child is still young, don't toss and go out, let Xiaoying have a good rest. ”

Ma Liudao: "The master's family has also been settled. Dr. Cheng from Anhetang went to see Mr. Liu's leg disease every once in a while, and I often went to visit. Xiuning goes almost every day, and often cooks meals and sends them over. However, according to the master's instructions, the news of your return this time has not been told to them. ”

When Su Jinyao heard that her father and eldest sister were fine, she nodded and said, "When you settle down, I'll go over immediately." ”

As he spoke, Ma Liu and Su Jinyao entered the city and walked all the way to Jasmine Garden.

Now Ma Liu is also a leading figure in this Anji City, he used to know that he was a famous gangster in this city, but now he knows that he has followed the right master and is prosperous. Therefore, even the officers and soldiers guarding the city looked at him differently, and when they saw that Ma Liu was going to enter the city, they had no intention of stopping him.

After entering the city, Ma Liu also said to Su Jinyao: "Recently, I have said hello to the city defense guards who are guarding the city, and all the guests who come from our carriage and horse shop do not need to pay the poll tax." Every month, we will send a fixed tax silver. This not only saves the time of the guests, but also shows that we have a wide range of cars and horses, and we have face. As soon as many guests come here, whether they want to stay overnight or not, they must first store their carriages and horses here, and then our carriages will be specially delivered to the city gate, and even the poll tax will be saved when they enter the city. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and praised after listening: "It's really good, it should be like this, I didn't expect you to be more thoughtful than me." ”

Ma Liu said again: "The two children brought by the master before are also good, very diligent, and their brains are also flexible. I tried my best to teach them how to do things, and I guess in another two or three years they will be able to take charge on their own. And he must be the kind of person who can carry heavy loads. ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "What happened to the chariots and horses in other places (qíng)?" And is there anything special (qíng) in the city right now? ”

"No, no." Ma Liu said with a smile: "The master has only been away for a few months, how can there be a big change." The last time you were gone, it was more than two years before it changed. ”

Su Jinyao was right to think about it, it seemed that she left this time because she had experienced too many things (qíng), so her heart was also a little tired, as if she had been away for too long.

But when you think about it, it's really not a few months. But the mentality has really changed a lot.

When he came to the gate of Jasmine Garden, Ma Liu said: "It's not too early, the master has worked hard all the way, so I won't bother." Tomorrow, when the master is free, I will come to tell you about the things in the shop (qíng), and then tell Dongzi to call me over. ”

Jasmine's son, Gu Shangqing

Su Jinyao was in a hurry, and she didn't sleep well last night, so she didn't mean to stay with Ma Liu. She asked Ma Liu to say hello to Xiaoying and the old man in the family, and went up to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Jinyao's hand knocked on the door knocker, the door was opened inside. A slender (shēn) young man with a handsome face stood in the doorway, his hands still resting on the door panels on either side.

Su Jinyao was stunned, thinking that she had gone to the wrong person. Take two steps back and look at it, sure this is the jasmine garden she bought earlier, right?

Ma Liu was also stunned, but he was a man after all, so he immediately stepped forward at this time, hugged his fist at the young man, and said, "This son, may I ask if you are going to the wrong door?" This is our host's home. ”

The young man looked at Ma Liu, then looked at Su Jinyao, smiled slightly, and said, "That's right, this was originally my home." This girl, but do you still remember the condition she agreed to when she bought this jasmine orchard? ”

Su Jinyao pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said suspiciously: "That son, who are you...... The eldest young master of the Gu family? ”

"It's me." The eldest young master of the Gu family nodded, and then said, "In the lower Gu Shangqing." ”

Gu Shangqing? Shang Qing! Was he the one who suddenly disappeared from that little inn last night?

Su Jinyao suddenly became alert, but she didn't show it at all, just smiled slightly, and asked, "Then in the inn yesterday, the one who helped me ask the guy to change the mushy wontons was Gu Gongzi?" ”
