Shen Tong looked around and saw that not far away, a handsome young man was guarding a stall selling fried goods, weighing melon seeds for an aunt dressed in red and willow green.

The boy was a flatbread.

Shen Tong glanced at Fang Fei, and Fang Fei jumped up and ran over: "Brother, I'm here to help you look at the stall." ”

When the cake looked up and saw that it was Fang Fei, his eyes were bent with a smile, and while handing the melon seeds to the aunt, he said to Fang Fei: "You came just in time, I'll go buy a bowl of herbal tea." ”

Fang Fei pouted in the direction where Shen Tong was, and the flatbread ran away.

Shen Tong stood in the shade of a tree, saw the flatbread, and asked, "Have you changed to selling melon seeds?" ”

Flatbread said with a smile: "The old man who sells melon seeds is too hard, I gave him five taels of silver, let him rest at home for a few days, and I will set up a stall for him." ”

Shen Tong looked at the courtyard not far away and said, "She's in there?" ”

The heart of the pie moved.

Although he left a note in the room, he didn't expect that Miss Shen would come here directly to find him.

The matter of stalking is not in a hurry, and it will not be too late until he returns to the inn.

But Miss Shen seemed to be unable to wait.

"After they moved in, only the short little brother came out to buy some things, including rice, noodles, vegetables, fish, and gouache from the Jiangnanchun family at the corner of the street."

With the woman, in addition to Lao Ke, there were two young descendants. Dahua's size is slightly shorter than two or three, and the short brother in the mouth of the big cake is Dahua.

Shen Tong frowned slightly, it was not surprising that Dahua came out to buy rice noodles and vegetables, but why did he buy rouge gouache?

She nodded slightly at the flatbread and said, "Let Fang Fei go to Jiang Nanchun to have a look." ”

After waiting for another half an hour, Fang Fei came back from Jiang Nanchun.

With an excited face, she said to Shen Tong: "The fat powder shop in the capital is different, and that Jiang Nanchun also sells oil paint used on the stage." ”

Oil paint on stage?

How can there be a rouge shop that sells this?

However, Shen Tong was quickly relieved. Jiangnan Spring blooms in Yangliu Hutong, in addition to the Baihua class that once lived, there are now a few little-known small teams, even the sisters in the green (building) will occasionally dress up and dance the water sleeves to please the guests.

This is the place where the three religions and nine streams gather, there are opera troupes, female plays, and small children, singing storytellers and huqin, in addition to these people, there are more people here who are looking for fang, and these seekers come from all over the world, among them there are officials in disguise, there are self-proclaimed style (flow) readers, there are big-bellied businessmen, and there are also Jianghu people who lick blood on the tip of the knife.

All kinds of people, all kinds of needs.

I'm afraid that Jiang Nanchun not only has oil paint for singing, but there may be other good things, but those things will not be put on the surface, and Fang Fei can't see them.

There are several such places in every city.

Shen Tong said to Mrs. Jiang: "You go and see if there is a human skin mask, don't be pretty." ”

Mrs. Jiang is a Jianghu person, and this kind of thing is the most appropriate for her to do.

Early the next morning, when Shen Tong and Fang Fei walked out of the Gaosheng Inn, they both changed their faces.

Fang Fei complained: "Mother Jiang is not picky, this face is not good-looking at all." ”

Shen Tong smiled and said nothing.

Since you want to use a human skin mask, you don't want to be recognized, of course, it is the ordinary public face that is the least noticeable.

Fang Fei originally thought that Shen Tong was going to take her to visit the downtown of the capital, but she didn't expect that they came to the door of the Dingguo Mansion in two turns.

There are ten ginkgo trees outside the Dingguo Mansion, which are still green leaves at this time.

The gate of the Dingguo Mansion is closed, and the front of the door is deserted, which cannot be the same as the Huguo Mansion.

Shen Tong knocked on the side door, the door opened a crack from the inside, and an old man leaned out half of his body, saw that it was two strange girls, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Shen Tong said: "Uncle, I'm looking for Uncle Ama." ”

Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and said to the old man: "The last time I came to the capital, Uncle Ama gave me a box of osmanthus snacks, and I want to thank him in person." ”

It turned out that he was looking for Amma, although Ama has an identity in the house, but he is just a subordinate, not to mention that they are still two little girls.

The old man took them to the porter, sent the errand boy, and went in to find Amma.

Ama was in the study of Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo.

"Old Bai Tuo Xiaoda has brought a message." Ama said.

"That kid is causing trouble again?" Ding Guogong did not look up, still reading the slander in his hand.

"Liushao was beaten in the temple, and he was forced to carry water after only lying down for three days, Lao Bai said that this is not a problem, and if it goes on like this, Liushao will definitely escape, and if he runs to a place where he can't find it, he will be in trouble." Ama Dao.

Ding Guogong finally raised his head and said, "He doesn't have any silver on him, where can he go?" You ask Xiaoda to tell Lao Bai, keep an eye on him, add 3,000 taels of incense money to Shaolin Temple, talk to the abbot, and let that kid stay for another year. ”

"Yes, the old slave will arrange it."

Ama turned around and came out, just as he saw the little guy who had come to report the news.

"Master Ma, there are two little girls at the door looking for you, saying that when you came to the capital last time, you gave them a box of osmanthus-flavored snacks, and she came to the capital again, and she wanted to thank you in person."

Ama was stunned, osmanthus-flavored dim sum? Little girl?

His eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Invite them to the small hall in front." ”

That year, he did give a large food box containing osmanthus snacks to a little girl.

This little girl is from Xi'an.

Ama thought about it, turned around and went into the study again, and told Xiao Changdun, the Duke of Dingguo, about it.

Xiao Changdun was overjoyed and said busily: "Ask where they live, and whether Xiao Qi has come to the capital together." ”

Ama took three steps and two steps to the small hall in the front yard, and when he saw Shen Tong, he was stunned, after many years, he couldn't be sure that the little girl in front of him was the same person as the little girl back then.

"Girl, are you ......?" asked Amma.

"My surname is Shen, my name is Shen Tong, you remember." Shen Tong said.

Ama immediately remembered that he had inquired at that time, and the little girl was indeed surnamed Shen.

Ama came to the spirit and asked, "Seven young people, he also came to the capital?" ”

Shen Tong saw hope in his eyes, and she couldn't bear it, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "He led troops in Xi'an, and he won't be able to come to the capital for a while, but he asked me to greet Grandpa Guo and your old man on my behalf." ”

A smile bloomed on Amma's face, and wrinkles were squeezed together: "Okay, the seventh young man has grown up and is sensible." ”

Shen Tong exchanged a few more words with Amma, and seemed to inadvertently talk about the things in the capital, and Ama immediately noticed it and said, "If the girl needs the help of the old slave in the capital, she can speak." Although the gate of the Dingguo Mansion is closed, it is not isolated from the world, and the big and small things in the capital cannot escape our ears. ”
