Chapter 4 Cinnabar Mole (1)

Fei Lan originally thought that the two teams would be able to arrive at the city in fifteen days at the slowest along the way, but whenever they arrived at a post station, all the officials of all sizes around them came to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and they must take them to the surrounding scenic spots.

After passing the gate of the south of the city, the second brother Qi came over to express his gratitude, they had already bought a house on West Street, and it would be open in less than half a month. When saying goodbye, the second brother Qi also asked Feilan's father-in-law to name the new house.

"What name can I come up with, Master Gu is a quick thinker, Boss Qi, you should find Lord Gu to choose a name."

"Red Bean Building."

"But what's the implication?" Second Brother Qi was a little confused.

"It's all surnamed Hong, and when you hear it, you know it's a branch of your Red Sleeve Pavilion."

Second Brother Qi only felt that this Gu Da was too quick to think, which was indeed incomprehensible to ordinary people, and said straightly: "Thank you, Master Gu, when our store opens, we must invite you to come and watch the dance." ”

The carriage of the Red Sleeve Pavilion went to West Street, and the Red Silk Girl did not come down to say goodbye to him, Gu Peiqing was actually a little annoyed for a while, but instantly left this feeling behind.

"Lord Gu, the miscellaneous family is about to transport this batch of porcelain into the warehouse, and they need to be counted again, and they are still busy today, I don't know where to send Master Gu?"

Gu Peiqing immediately understood that people wanted to say goodbye to him, and said, "Today, I will find an inn to live in, and I will go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow." ”

Feilan's father-in-law made a gesture and said, "Master Gu, if you need to buy a house, you can contact me, I have been in the city for more than 20 years, and I often go out of the palace, so I also know about this. ”

"Then there will be a lot of trouble for Grandpa Feilan."

Because Gu Peiqing ran away from home, the luggage he brought was nothing more than a basically unfinished Zhiwei novel and a few sets of changing clothes, which could be said to be light. However, with Li Anyan's two thousand taels of silver tickets in his arms, his heart is also very stable, and he has money.

He found an inn that seemed to be a little popular, asked for a room, and as soon as he put his luggage, he asked Xiao Er to find out about the nearby bookstore. The second child is also enthusiastic, seeing that he is a foreigner, the introduction is extraordinarily detailed. In addition to introducing nearby bookstores, the little two even talked about various attractions.

"This son, there will be a grand fireworks in the Qing Kite Pond today, you just came to the city, you can go and have a look. The clear kite pond is not far from here, and if you walk there, it will take time to burn incense. ”

"It's not a holiday today, so why are you setting off fireworks?"

"Lord Qi and the Fourth Prince are engaged, and in order to celebrate such a festive event, the Holy Lord arranged a fireworks in the Qing Kite Pond. Legend has it that fireworks are set off at the Kite Pond to pray for good fortune. ”

Gu Peiqing thought that it was idle to be idle, so it was better to go and see it later, so he thanked him and walked out of the inn.

The city is indeed the capital of the country, and the streets are full of traffic, and people are side by side. Gu Peiqing went to the nearest bookstore first according to Xiao Er's introduction, in addition to the required reading list for the imperial examination, there were also a lot of Zhiwei novels in the small corner that he was interested in, some of which he had not read, Gu Peiqing picked up a few and flipped through them casually, and heard the two scholars chatting with the boss, originally they were talking non-stop, but suddenly mentioned the red silk girl, Gu Peiqing couldn't help but prick up his ears.

The boss looked to be over forty, with a big belly, and his double chin came out when he smiled, and his voice was greasy: "The red silk girl is a celestial figure, she also plays the piano well, and she dances like a flying fairy, I got the news, she has now arrived in the city, and the branch of the Red Sleeve Pavilion will open in a few days, and everyone will be blessed by then." ”

"How beautiful can it be? Is there Shen Xiang's eldest daughter Shen Fei Qingmei? A scholar asked.

"I've seen both of them, and the beauty of the Red Silk Girl is the color of the city, and it is a brilliant summer flower. Shen Feiqing's beauty is a dustless posture, and it is a mountain snow lotus. The boss was very satisfied with his words, and nodded smugly.

Gu Peiqing almost laughed out loud, Hongsi is at most a bright little girl, what is the color of the city, what is like a flying fairy, and it is also a brilliant summer flower, so Shen Xiang's eldest daughter Shen Feiqing is also very ordinary.

The three of them chatted for a while, chatting about the protagonists of tonight's fireworks, the Four Princes and the Lord of Qi.

"It's really unexpected that the fourth prince and the county lord of Qi are married, doesn't it mean that the county lord of Qi only has Wu Siye in his heart? She is really pitiful, she was originally the princess of Wanru Kingdom, but she grew up in Cangzhi Country as a hostage, and now Wanru Country is weak, after her brother inherited the throne, she now has no heirs, and there is no successor to the throne, if she has a child with the fourth prince, it is very likely that this child will be sent to inherit the throne. Of course, this is also what Cangzhi wants to see the situation the most, and directly control the future monarch of Wanru Kingdom. ”

"Alas, how can those of them who live in the clouds decide for themselves who will accompany them for the rest of their lives?"

"The boss has seen it so thoroughly, there is still a delicate heart under the fat."

"You two don't make fun of your figures, and when you reach my age, you will be like this."

Gu Peiqing picked two books and settled the account. Seeing that it was getting late, I asked the boss the direction of the kite pond and walked slowly.

Qing Kite Pond was already crowded at this time, there were still many carts selling snacks and small toys parked on the side, and children were interspersed with play between the legs of adults, and Gu Peiqing was hit a few times.

Suddenly, he had a pain in his shoulder, and a woman's back hit him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" The girl turned around while apologizing, and the two looked at each other and said at the same time: "It's you." ”

The Red Silk Girl was standing in front of him, "You're also coming to see the fireworks?" Gu Peiqing asked.

She chuckled, "yes, separated from my sister." ”

"There are too many people, and the city is really prosperous."

"That's right, Lord Gu, do you know that there are many young women who come here to watch fireworks and make wishes for the lover they meet?"

"I just heard about it today, is the Red Silk Girl here to make a wish?"

"The Red Silk Girl is not, but the other girls are." She continued to laugh.

Gu Peiqing was a little confused, and suddenly the red silk girl took his hand, "Come with me, there are too many people here, let's go to a place with few people to watch fireworks." Her hands were small and soft, but they were also warm. Gu Peiqing's mind was stunned for a while, and she took her to a mountain road, which was sparsely populated, and although the bustle of the Qing Kite Pond was visible to the naked eye, it was also out of reach.

"This is halfway up the mountain near the Kite Pond, and you can see fireworks here later, but not as many as you see below, but it's also very beautiful, and then you can go inside to set off fireworks."

As soon as she finished speaking, fireworks rose all over the sky, one after another, shining the mountains and the clear kite pond as if it were day, Gu Peiqing glanced sideways at the red silk girl, her big almond eyes reflected those ups and downs of the sparks, which were also very beautiful.

"Does the Red Silk Girl have a wish?"

"Nope."

Gu Peiqing was about to say something to tease her, when suddenly a scream came, the two glanced at each other and ran towards the scream.

A woman rolled on the ground with flames on her body, screaming loudly and heartbreakingly. Gu Peiqing took off his coat and threw himself on the woman, and Hongsi also grabbed the clod of soil on the ground and covered her. Because in time, the fire on the woman's body was extinguished, she had already fainted, a cinnabar mole on her forehead, her head was scorched, and the right sleeve of her clothes was burned more seriously, I don't know if she still had burns on her body, Gu Peiqing picked her up and ran down the mountain, followed by the red silk girl.

didn't run a few steps, only to see a handsome young man with a nervous look and hurried steps, and he was even more anxious when he saw the woman in Gu Peiqing's arms. "Lord Qi!" He stretched out his hand to Gu Peiqing and motioned for him to give him the woman. "What's wrong with her?"

"We just heard her shout, and we ran over and saw her burning, and we put out the fire, and we don't know if it hurt somewhere else."

"I'll take her to the doctor right away, thank you two, I will definitely repay the kindness." The handsome young man turned around and ran with all his might.

"He ran in such a hurry, and he didn't ask who we were, and he said that he would repay the favor, is this possible?" Gu Peiqing looked at Hongsi and asked.

Hongsi's expression was solemn at this time, and she did not answer this question.

"What's wrong with you, Miss Scarlet?"

"I feel like I'm in trouble."

"Me too."
