Chapter 1097: The Marquis of the Xie Family
A month later, Su Jiu finally arrived in Shangjing with the convoy.
She quietly rolled up the corner of the draping curtain, but saw that the capital was prosperous and wealthy, the people were all wearing silk and the goods sold in the stalls were strange, even the swords, crossbows and poisons that were forbidden to be sold in the Central Plains were blatantly set up for sale.
It is not surprising that the woman has shown her head, and the green building stands in the most prosperous part of the market.
There are no signs such as curfews and laws, and this is a city where the truly strong are respected.
She saw it with novelty, and Concubine Fan Xiang said softly: "How do you look at the appearance of Miss Ah Jiu, it seems that she has never seen the royal capital of the ghost prison?" β
Su Jiu retracted his gaze, "I have studied medicine in the mountains since I was a child, so naturally I have never been to such a prosperous place, which makes Miss Concubine smile." β
The concubine covered her face with a fan, and her smile really showed a bit of contempt.
The sedan chair passed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a large and dignified mansion.
Su Jiu got off the sedan chair with the concubine's incense, and saw that the concubine's family was greeted outside the mansion, and the man headed by him was about twenty or thirty years old, tall and handsome, with a frivolous demeanor, but there was a yin owl hidden in his eyebrows and eyes, obviously not a good stubble.
"The second sister is back!" The man greeted him with a smile, his eyes turned on Su Jiu, and his eyes rarely lit up, "This girl is ......"
"The senior apprentice of Doctor Lu Shenshen specially went down the mountain to regulate my body." Concubine Fanxiang didn't take her brother very seriously, and walked towards the house, "It's been hard all the way, I want to have a good rest, don't bother me if you're fine." In addition, I will entertain Miss Ah Jiu well, she is my honored guest. β
Concubine Yunzhi responded with a "belch", turned to Su Jiu diligently, raised her hand and said, "Miss Ah Jiu, please?" β
Su Jiu looked up at the vermilion lacquer mansion.
The red lips curled slightly, not to mention the fighting relationship between the concubine family and the ghost prison royal family, just talking about gunpowder, no matter how this mansion can be called the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is also worth her to break through!
She calmly stepped into the concubine's mansion.
The Mu Feng Courtyard arranged by Concubine Yunzhi for her was luxurious and exquisite, and she introduced as she walked: "Coming out of Mu Feng Courtyard, to the left is my second sister's residence, and to the right is my residence. The second sister is busy on weekdays, and if Miss Ah Jiu has anything important, just look for me. β
"Thank you, princess." Su wine bowed.
"You and Fan Xiang are sisters in love, why do you call me the second son so outside?" Concubine Yunzhi smiled, and her words were ambiguous, "Just call me Brother Yunzhi." β
Su Jiu smiled and didn't answer.
Walking through the cobblestone flower path, she looked through the carved white stone wall and noticed that there were palace maids passing through the courtyard next door.
Concubine Yunzhi explained: "Don't hide it from Ah Jiu, because Fan Xiang is about to marry into the palace, so there are palace people who haunt the palace to prepare the things to be used on the wedding day, as well as teach etiquette rules and the like." I know you're from the countryside and haven't seen those battles, but you don't have to worry about it, let alone be afraid. You are the royal medicine girl of Fan Xiang, and no one dares to bully you. β
"Thank you." Su Jiu seemed to thank him seriously and coquettishly.
Sending Su Jiu to the dormitory, he followed him without hesitation.
Su Jiu looked at the room full of furnishings, but Yu Guang quietly paid attention to this man, always wary of him approaching him.
She was very disgusted with Concubine Yunzhi's eyes staring at her, this kind of disciple was really disgusting, and she really didn't know how he supported the concubine's family.
Fei Yunzhi smiled with her eyebrows, and her eyes lingered over the girl's slender curves and the tender pretty face, "Miss Ah Jiu looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she hasn't married yet, right?" β
Su Jiu's appearance is beautiful and gorgeous, but his face is a little close to a baby face, and even if he gives birth to a child, he is still slender, looking very young.
Probably because there was no one else in the house, he was even more daring, and even went to the small hand of the wine of Lasu.
Su Jiu raised his hand quietly, picked up a jade Ruyi on the Bogu shelf and played with it, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "I have twenty-seven or eighteen, because I am well maintained, so I look at the tenderness." Don't hide it from the concubine, I also gave birth to a child, if you don't believe it, you can ask Miss Concubine. β
Concubine Yunzhi raised her eyebrows, her gaze swept over her slender and white hand, and then fell lightly on her red lips, "Ah Jiu girl is in a charming city, I don't know who the man who married you is?" Seeing that you are dressed plainly, you should just be following a poor country man, right? If you are alone, the villager must be dead. Ah Jiu is in his prime, and the taste of widowhood is not pleasant......"
Su Jiu's face changed.
It's a pity that this guy didn't write a notebook, she didn't say anything, he automatically made up such a big drama in his brain!
Return to the countryside and villager, and still be a widow, if Xiao Tingchen knows, it would be strange if he didn't split this goods!
She pressed the corner of her forehead that jumped suddenly, and smiled coldly, "There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, so the concubine is not afraid of causing trouble?" You are in a high position, so let's go and do your business, I still have to prepare medicinal food for Miss Fei. β
Concubine Yunzhi smiled, and her eyes were full of thief light.
He has seen countless beauties in his life, but no one has a more beautiful face than the one in front of him.
Tsk, what a pretty widow, he will be blessed in the future!
He was not in a hurry, and told the maid to serve Su Jiu well and then went out to deal with government affairs.
Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She put down Yu Ruyi and walked around the dormitory, when suddenly there was a noise outside.
She walked outside the house, and a beautiful girl with a horsewhip in her hand, surrounded by maids, was standing not far away and cursing.
The little maid who was serving Su Jiu explained in a low voice: "Ah Jiu girl, don't be surprised, this is the third lady in our house, and she is very arrogant and domineering on weekdays. She recently asked for the king's marriage, and she was originally sweet and sweet to marry, but who knew that the Marquis Xie came back from the rebellion, and when she heard that she had a fiancΓ©e inexplicably, she immediately entered the palace and refused. The king did not want to chill the hearts of the heroes, so he spared the marriage. The third lady was furious, and she beat everyone when she saw it. This Mufeng Courtyard is the most exquisite courtyard in the house, and it was originally reserved for entertaining guests, but the third lady has always wanted to move in. Now that you're in, she's angry. β
Su Jiu was stunned when he heard it.
After a while, she said softly: "What is the name of that Marquis Xie?" β
"Hmm...... It seems to be called Xie Rongjing, but he was exiled from the Central Plains. It is said that he fought very bravely, and put down many rebellions in the Ghost Prison, and was very appreciated by the king. The slave maid had seen him from afar, and he was very handsome, and he heard that many officials and nobles in the capital wanted to be his wife! β
Su Jiu Waner.
Originally, she was a little worried that she would be alone in the ghost prison, and it was inconvenient to spread the news, but now that she learned that Xie Rongjing was mixing so well, she was relieved.
It's just that the top priority is to meet Xie Rongjing as soon as possible.
She looked at the menacing third lady of the concubine family, and suddenly had an idea.

Hey, Brother Rong Jing is about to appear
