Su Jiu was also afraid of delaying him.

She swallowed her words and said softly: "Then the little brother must come back with a good ranking, and I will pick you up and wash the dust." ”

Xiao Tingchen responded and got into the carriage.

Stunned to drive away, the young man looked back from the car window, and the little girl in the pale pink pipa sleeve skirt was still standing by the long pavilion, waving a small handkerchief vigorously.

He retracted his gaze and leaned lazily on the pillow, "Go to Gusu." ”

"Gotcha! Drive! ”

The boy began to close his eyes and recuperate.

There are countless families in Jinling City, among which six are the most valuable:

Xiao, Xie, Xu, Li, Zhou, Zhao.

The six families are married to each other and have a complex relationship with intertwined roots.

As the center of power, Chang'an City, the situation is more complicated and prosperous.

Among them, the two factions of the north and the south have been separated from each other for a long time, and the power is uncertain.

It's just that the current Xiangye is a member of the northern faction, so the top three admitted to the imperial examination this year must all be northerners.

How could he, Xiao Tingchen, as a student of Dean Sikong and the leading figure in the southern faction, be admitted?

Instead of spending months running in vain, it is better to go to Gusu.

Gusu is the center of silk weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, if you can swallow all the weaving workshops in Gusu, what should he Xiao Tingchen call a rich country?

What's more, Gusu is a beauty, and it is also excellent to enjoy the beauty by the way.

Maybe you can buy a little Oiran and play with it.

Hehe.

……

Ten Mile Long Pavilion.

Su Jiu was about to take the carriage back to his house, when a sharp whistle came from the cold all around.

More than a dozen strong men pounced out, surrounded her with big knives, and said fiercely:

"I planted this tree, I drove this road, if you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road!"

Frost lowered his brows slightly, and immediately protected Su Jiu behind him.

She was about to draw her sword, when the little girl suddenly smiled sweetly:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't do a good job in the Cao Gang, and you actually came here to rob passers-by...... Is it that Grandpa Yan is gone, you see that I am young and easy to fool, so I refuse to do things well in the Cao Gang? ”

This group of robbers is actually a member of the Cao Gang!

The strong men were stunned.

When they saw Su Jiu's appearance clearly, more than a dozen people were so frightened that they hurriedly put away their knives.

The person at the head laughed and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" It was a stinky female cousin named Gu Mingyu in Xiao's Mansion, who asked us to help her tie up a little girl, saying that she was going to sell it to Gusu Bantang! The brothers thought that they could not miss such a good thing to earn pocket money, so they hurried here! Unexpectedly, the person she wanted to tie up was actually the boss! ”

Someone shouted again: "That female cousin is really ruthless, Bantang is a brothel, she wants to sell the boss to a brothel!" Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart! ”

is so indignant and full of righteousness, as if the person who just did it is not him.

"Gu Mingyu?"

Su Jiu raised his eyebrows.

She knew that Gu Mingyu hated her, but she didn't know that she hated her so much.

The girl's face was calm, "Gusu is her territory, and she sold me there to destroy me." However, since she wants me to go to Gusu, then I'll go for it. It is still unknown who will sell whom in the end. ”

Gu Mingyu has repeatedly harmed her, and she will not let her go again.

The strong men looked at each other.

Su Jiu sent Bai Lu and Shuang back to the house, and asked the group to take her to Gusu by boat.

They arrived in Gusu at night.

The small bridge in the water lane, the river of people, and the wind blowing in the face, with the unique cold and humidity of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, seem to be gentler than the wind in other places.

Su Jiu has already changed to a light boat and shuttled slowly through the water alleys of the ancient city with blue tiles and white walls.

The houses on both sides of the water, the bluestone slabs and bricks are paved in front of the door, and the bluestone steps for pulp and laundry are also built, the red lanterns hanging under the eaves still contain the joy of the first month, and the children who walk the streets and alleys jump in front of the door, humming nursery rhymes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The awning boats on the water are crowded one after another, selling new tea water lotus root in early spring, and more Qiluo silk piled up in mountains.

This is the first time that Su wine has left Jinling City.

She saw everything rarely, and she didn't even care about the road.

The two stunned young men who were paddling were also the first time to Gusu, looking around curiously, and they didn't know if they had taken a fork in the road.

Paddled and rowed, the boat crossed the stone arch bridge, and the fog in front of him became more and more difficult to see the direction.

The thick fog spread out on the water, and Su Jiu could only vaguely see the prosperity on both sides of the strait, with wooden buildings lined up one after another, countless red lanterns hung on them, and the women's delicate smiles and ethereal pipa sounds came and went, which was about the fat powder incense pile in Gusu City.

In the vast white mist, it is inadvertently mixed with a strange fat powder fragrance.

The two young men who rowed the boat, smelling the fragrance, became more and more dizzy, and finally slowly fell asleep.

The boat is quietly moored on the water.

Su Jiu picked up a lamp and looked around blankly, but he could hear a sound from underwater.

She leaned on the low side of the boat and raised her lamp to look underwater.

A miserable white woman's face is slowly emerging from the bottom of the water.
