On an early summer morning, the mountains are filled with fog, and the mountains are stacked in the distance, as if you are in a fairyland!

Since the rest of the road was not easy to walk, it was rough and winding, and everyone rode their horses and abandoned the carriage!

On the official road in the mountains, there are ordinary people who carry burdens and sell, and they are all things produced in the mountains!

In order to be less dazzling, Xiao Tao and the five of them are all wearing clothes of colors that ordinary people often wear, but the materials are excellent!

The five of them, whether male or female, are beautiful in appearance and noble in temperament, even if they are as low-key as possible, they still seem to stand out from the crowd!

Fortunately, Niannian and Qiqi both brought scarves to cover their faces, otherwise the return rate would be even higher!

The topography here, as well as the customs and customs, are becoming more and more different from those near the capital, and the accent of speech is getting heavier and heavier!

Although they tried their best to walk on the official road, they could still perceive that they were walking higher, the sky was getting lower and lower, and a large cloud seemed to be floating overhead, very thick and white, really like a clump of cotton, as if it was within reach!

Xiao Tao estimated that his group was about to enter the boundary of Shanxi, and the current appearance over there should be lofty mountains and mountains, and the mountains are winding!

And the woods are dense, and maybe there are all kinds of wild beasts, which must be very different from the later generations! The terrain here is quite complicated, and she remembers that there are many types of landforms, such as mountains, hills, plateaus, basins, and terraces.

Mountains and hills account for more than two-thirds of Shanxi's total area, and most of them are between meters above sea level.

From the topography, it is a high platform composed of many complex mountain ranges, so the terrain here is mainly a plateau!

After walking for most of the mountain road, a group of people entered a prefecture and county, the city gate said the original county, they rode into the city, they first found an inn, bathed, and ate!

After resting for a while, they went to the streets together, planning to chat with the common people to see if there were any interesting things in the local area, or if there was any malfeasance by the local officials!

Situ Yu has not been here in person, he only knows that the governor of Shanxi is now Li Zhiyuan, who was recommended by Suning at the beginning!

As for the county magistrate of this original county, it seems that he has just taken office this year, he is a jinshi in this year's new examination, and he is a child of a farming family, it seems that his name is Qi Hai, twenty-five or sixteen years old, he has just arrived, and he has no merits!

Suning is now the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Shaoliang replaced the original Su Shangshu as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

Suning's uncle is over 60 years old and has resigned and retired for three years!

His two sons, one is now in the household department, and the other is in important positions in the army, and Suning has always been a rising leader, Su Shangshu knows how to cultivate obscurity and retreat, otherwise the Su family is too prosperous, and it will always be prosperous!

Situ Yu and Xiao Tao were strolling slowly in the back, Nian Xi also walked slowly, from time to time to go to the stall on the side to say a few words to people, and after a while, he told Xiao Tao and Situ Yu that he was going to go shopping by himself, and he would go back to the inn by himself in a while!

Xiao Tao and Situ Yu are not worried about him, although Nianxi's kung fu may be worse than Situ Yu, but it is also very good, and there is Xiao Hei with him by his side, there will be no danger!

Nian Nian and Qiqi two little sisters went hand in hand to a small stall selling jewelry, with hairpins, beads, bracelets, a lot of styles, and most of them silver jewelry!

The owner of the stall is a woman in her fifties, with a gray headscarf wrapped around her head, a brick-red skirt, and a slightly black and red face.

"Oops! These two young ladies are really beautiful, like fairies from all over the world! Not our locals, right? ”

Qiqi and Nian Nian both smiled kindly at the old woman, and Nian Nian returned sharply,

"It's not! The two of us are here to visit relatives! ”

Qiqi glanced at the jewelry on the stall, and fell in love with a wooden hairpin of a jujube red bird falling plum branches, and looked through it in his hand, although it was not very exquisite, but the carving was also lifelike!

"Ou Yo! Miss just has a good eye, but my son carved it for several days, and it took a lot of work! See how pretty! ”

Qiqi smiled and nodded, and asked in a gentle and sweet voice,

"Grandma! How much does it cost! ”

"Seeing that the young lady likes it so much, and looks so beautiful, if others say less, they will get eighty wen, you give my wife sixty wen, and I can't be less!"

Qiqi nodded in agreement, the old woman's family may not recognize this kind of wood, this is a rare sour pear branch, it is definitely worth the price, and then put away the hairpin, planning to be fine, polish it yourself, it will be very good!

Nian Nian didn't match, so he took out the money from the money bag and paid the bill to Qiqi!

The two turned to leave, and the old woman shouted at them again,

"Hey! Girl, wait! ”

Nian Nian and Qiqi turned around, and Nian Nian asked in surprise,

"What's wrong, Grandma? Isn't the money right? ”

The old woman waved her hand, with a little caution on her face, glanced around, and said in a low voice,

"The two young ladies are new to the city, you may not know, we have a family here, surnamed Zhang, saying that there is a backer in the capital, his son is not a good thing, bullying beautiful girls everywhere, you two better hurry home, remember to bring more people when you come out in the future, or dress yourself ugly! Otherwise, if the person surnamed Zhang sees it, it will be troublesome! ”

Nian Nian and Qiqi glanced at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes, they were bored! I still think about why I haven't met the robbers in the stories my mother said, bullies! Or some heroes save beauty, so that they can also learn from women and teach them all a lesson!

I'm dozing off, and the pillow is here!

The two of them must not miss it!

Nian Nian smiled and looked at the old woman back, "Thank you mother-in-law for your kindness, we remember!" ”

Then the two held hands, and did not hurry to find Xiao Tao to meet, but looked around, and saw that there was no particularly flamboyant and domineering person, so the two continued to wander, but neither of them left Situ Yu's sight!

Xiao Tao and Situ Yu are buying a special dim sum called boiled cake in front of a small stall, very famous, the skin is sticky with burnt white sesame seeds, after breaking in half, the skin can pull out a nest of gold silk of 3-6 cm, eat into the mouth, crispy sand is soft, not sticky, sweet but not greasy, aftertaste after eating, there is a kind of pine and cypress aftertaste.

Situ Yu held Xiao Tao, but his eyes were always paying attention to Nian Nian and Qiqi!

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be deliberately spinning in circles, they were not just spinning around at random like just now!

It's like I'm waiting for someone!!

He was thinking about what these two little girls were going to do, when he saw a few hooligan-like boys pushing and shoving, looking around at the girls on the street!
