+++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line between you and me (IX) (below).

The dry cold wind of winter was blowing on my face with a faint pain, especially when I was running on a horse. Xinjie put together the hood that Lian'er specially made for him, and felt a lot warmer in his heart. I don't know what that cute little woman is busy with at the moment, do you miss her. I only came to Luoyang for two days, and I wanted to see her since the third day. Today finally finished the main things that should be done, and let Ah Zhi and his subordinates finish the rest, although it was almost dusk, he still hurried on the road, went out of the city tonight, and lived in the Baihuatang branch sixty miles outside the city, so that he did not have to slowly pass through the crowded streets in the city tomorrow morning, at this moment everyone was already at home ready to eat, there were few pedestrians on the street, and most of the people at the city gate were also people entering the city, and few people went outside the city, so that he did not have to wait in line at the city gate to get out of the city. The soldier at the gate knew him, and did not let him dismount for examination, but he smiled and nodded at them, and as if he had said hello, he hurried out of the city.

Although he was in a hurry, he still smelled the fragrance of lilies, which seemed a little abrupt in this cold winter when the flowers were withering. He habitually searched for the source of the fragrance, and saw a purple carriage with a sliding lid in front of him slowly entering the city, and the horses and gorgeous Yingluo May Day on the carriage did not show luxury. This kind of incense cart may be the lady of a large family sitting in it. The fresh lilies that can only be raised in a greenhouse in this season are naturally either rich or expensive. The curtain was lifted in a corner, and a woman in purple and a girl in a maroon dress could be seen sitting inside, who was poking out to talk to the guard next to the coachman. The moment the woman in the car saw Xinjie, her face showed a faint surprise, and then she smiled shyly, her eyes were shy, and she lowered her head slightly. If the average man sees it, he will feel that the spring in front of him is boundless. It's just that the person sitting right away at this moment was not moved by this tempting scene, no matter what the identity of the person in the car was, as long as it had nothing to do with Xiangyang Hou at the moment, no one else in Luoyang City could not arouse his interest, nor could he delay his trip home. At this time, the henchmen of the Marquis of Xiangyang were busy hiding themselves, where would they break into Luoyang City. And there is no such number one person among the Xiangyang Hou henchmen they are concerned about. So he silently withdrew his gaze and quickly left the car with a blank face.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent to herself, the woman in the car became angry and said hatefully: "Paper kite, have you seen the person who passed by just now?" ”

"You said that the boy in blue who rode out on a white horse just now? The maid hasn't seen it, I don't know if the Zhou guards know each other? The girl called Paper Kite asked the guard sitting next to the coachman in front.

"My subordinates don't know him, his clothing and fabrics are very ordinary, not like the children of rich families in Luoyang City, but judging from the high-grade horses and momentum he rides in the Western Regions, he doesn't look like a disciple of ordinary people. The horses ridden by his two retinues were also of the highest quality, and their hands and feet were steady, and their kung fu was also superior. ”

"Then how are they better than the Zhou guards?"

"Miss said with a smile, those two people are first-class good players in the rivers and lakes at a glance, how dare Zhou compare."

"Zhou Shouwei is too modest, where are there so many good hands all over the street?!" The woman in purple in the car sneered: "Daddy said that Guard Zhou is the best player in the two rivers. When my father was in charge of Lianghe, in order to win the favor of Zhou's guards, he spent a lot of energy. How can you be self-indulgent at this moment? ”

Zhou Weiwei was choked by his young lady for a while, and only said after a while: "At that time, his subordinates were young and ignorant, and they were self-righteous when they broke into the Lianghe area. Over the years, I have walked a lot of places to do things for my lord, and I realized that Zhou was a frog at the bottom of a well. There are many strange and capable people in this Jianghu, and there are many people who are more capable than Zhou. Just like the son who passed just now, his two entourages, one is only afraid that his foreign kung fu has been perfected, and the other is mainly feminine and internal, and his internal and external cultivation are more than one or two points above Zhou. And that son, I can't even tell if he has martial arts, if he is really martial arts, I can only say that his kung fu is unfathomable. ”

"If it's such a talent, we should get to know each other." The woman in purple was slightly distracted, "This Luoyang City is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, there is such a character, it seems that we should also come out and walk around." ”

Hearing this, the little girl paper kite was the most happy: "Yes, now the old lady's body and bones have been restored again, and it is tough, and the girl not only does not have to serve the sick, but also can take advantage of the time when everyone is visiting the house during the festival this year, and invite the nobles in the city to be guests." It's just that I don't know whose son is just now, when the time comes, I can let Young Master Chu Feng invite all the noble sons in the city, let's let Zhou Guards go and see it, there is really this son, probe the details, if it is a decent person, it is good to recommend it to the master, if it can be reused by the master, a certain background, it is good to be the young master's helper in the future. ”

Zhou Weiwei lightly hooked his lips and did not say much. If it was really the one just now, how could I think that he could be compared to a rough man from a humble background. The century-old family of Kangning Houlan in the capital is also the maiden family of the current queen, and the current head of the family, Kangning Hou, was the companion of the first emperor when he was young, and the former emperor was a scholar and right minister of Longteng Pavilion when he was alive. It's just that although Lan Daren was the playmate of the first emperor when he was young, he didn't recognize people and didn't agree with many of the first emperor's decisions, but stood on the side of the first queen, who is now the queen mother. It was not until the death of the first emperor that the queen mother cleared his name, and wanted to be reused, but if he entered the cabinet as a minister, it would inevitably hinder his son's career, and after weighing it again and again, he decided to only be a Kang Ning Hou who participated in the discussion of politics and had no real power, leaving room for his eldest son Lan Banghua, and at the same time sent his daughter to the palace for the queen, laying a solid foundation for the Lan family for the next fifty years.

Now everything is going well, according to the plan of the old Kangning Marquis step by step, the daughter is the queen, the grandson is the successor of the future throne, and the son has also accumulated outstanding official reputation and popularity in the release, and now he is promoted to the governor of Zhili, and the next step is expected to enter the cabinet. As the maternal uncle of the future emperor, promotion and reuse are just around the corner.

The woman in purple in the car is Lan Ruoxue, the daughter of Lan Banghua, who has been hiding in the snow of the Lan family. In the past few years, the situation in the DPRK and China has changed, and the former prince Yixiang and his brothers are fighting for the throne. The scheming old Kang Ninghou not only let his son go out all the time to avoid being involved in the whirlpool of the capital, but also kept Lan Banghua taking his daughter away from the capital. Later, Lan Banghua entered Beijing to serve as a direct subordinate, and the old man took the initiative to send Lan Ruoxue to his grandfather's house, called a generation of Hongru who followed Luoyang, and his maternal grandfather Mr. Liu Lao studied and did his filial piety in front of his grandmother, in fact, to keep Lan Ruoxue away from everyone's sight and avoid various marriages in the capital. Now that the position of Prince Yiyi is firmly seated, and the overall situation is about to be clear, he will choose a family business that is beneficial to the Lan family.

Lan Ruoxue has been taught by her father and grandfather since she was a child, and she knows that her marriage will be one of the tools for the development of the family, so she has already abandoned the dream that a girl should have, and obediently waited for the family arrangement. But at this moment, the words of the paper kite touched her, if her life can only be a chess piece, how good it would be to be able to choose a man who is not only beneficial to the family, but also her own favorite. The idea is like a seed under the snow that starts to thrive once it wakes up. And the noble and light person I saw just now became more and more imprinted in my heart. Such a person is definitely not the child of an ordinary family, but as long as there is a value of use, there is a reason to convince the parents.

"Guard Zhou," Lan Ruoxue made up her mind: "Send someone to follow and see which son it is." If it's really helpful to my father and brother, we'll take him over at some cost. She said that she was subdued, but in her heart she hoped that he was an important descendant of a big family, preferably because her father wanted to win over the forces.

Guard Zhou nodded and ordered the two accompanying guards to let them do it, but he didn't think so. If he is not mistaken, it is very likely that the foreign master is Yang Kun, a thunderbolt who has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years. Yang Kun became famous in the rivers and lakes in his early years, that is the top ten characters in the foreign kung fu rivers and lakes, and he has rarely appeared in recent years, if he defects to anyone, it must be a great master, even if the Lan family has a queen, it may not be enough charm. Lan Banghua is a good official, but serving the public is a person's charm. Lan Ruoxue didn't know what Zhou Guard's mind was, and was taking stock of the various forces in Luoyang in her heart, thinking about which side he might be.

Zhou Weiwei didn't guess wrong, one of the people who followed Xinjie was Yang Kun, and the other was Wang Yuecheng, one of the nine disciples of Qishan Old Ancestor. Not far after they walked out, Wang Yuecheng said to Xinjie: "Someone followed, it should be in the purple canopy car at the city gate just now." Xinjie had already found out, so he nodded and smiled: "You deal with it, let's go to Baihuatang first." Uncle Kun is afraid that he can't wait to see Aunt Yan. Wang Yuecheng nodded with a smile to show that he understood, but Yang Kun was extremely embarrassed: "Look at what the master said, they are all old husbands and wives." ”

"You are an old husband, Aunt Yan doesn't admit that she is an old wife."

The master and servant walked away teasing and laughing all the way.

It was already the first time of the Baihua Hall, and Gui Beiyan, the master of the Luoyang Branch, came out early. This Gui Beiyan is in her forties, but she is very good at maintenance, and she looks only twenty-seven or eighteen. It is the daughter of Gui Fei, the first fierce general under Tang Wen, her mother is said to be a geisha who was popular all over the country, and has been in the military camp since returning from good Gui Fei, when Gui Fei died in battle, she was martyred at that time, leaving her nine-year-old daughter Gui Beiyan. Tang Wen sent her back to Wabao Village, and Chen Biyan sent her to the school with the other orphans of the Tang Family, not only raising them, but also sending someone to teach them martial arts. Although the Tang family gave them the freedom to leave the Tang family at the age of fifteen to stand on their own, she, like many orphans of the Tang family army who grew up together, chose to stay in the Tang family to serve. When she was young, she was Tang Xiaoxiao's handkerchief friend, met Bai Baihua's friend Gao Tiejun, and married into the Gao family. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and three years later, Gao Tiejun died of illness, and she returned to the Tang family. It happened that the mother and daughter of the Tang family built Baihuatang, so she took the initiative to take on many affairs, and now she leads the Luoyang branch of Baihuatang.

A few years ago, he happened to meet Yang Kun who came to Luoyang to do business, and Yang Kun was suddenly shocked and worshiped under the pomegranate skirt. However, Gui Beiyan was once in a difficult position in the sea, so he just said lightly and casually, if you want to marry me, you need to work for Baihuatang like me. This Baihuatang is a place where a group of women gather, a big man is here, and outsiders always seem to be a little prejudiced, but Yang Kun is really desperate to break into the meeting hall of Baihuatang, begging Xinjie, who was in charge there at the time, to accept him, and finally achieved this marriage. After getting married, Gui Beiyan didn't want to embarrass her husband, and Xinjie also admired him, so he transferred to Aoki Society.

Now that the husband and wife are reunited, Xinjie is naturally very eye-catching, but he just told them that they don't have to send him tomorrow, he will leave early in the morning, and then hurriedly go to his room to rest, leaving this hall for the two of them. It's just that Yang Kun hasn't been able to get his wish yet, when he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl rushing in, no matter what the people in the house were doing, he asked in a daze: "Mother, they said that the third young man is here, what about the others?" ”

Gui Beiyan frowned when she saw her like this: "Yu'er, my mother has told you many times that Sanshao is the master, and there are some things that we can't think about." ”

As soon as she heard this, Gao Yu'er's face darkened. Gao Yuer is not Gui Beiyan's biological son, but the daughter of Gao Tiejun's younger brother, because the Gao family later fell into ruin, Gao Tiejun's younger brother and sister died early, and the younger brother remarried. has been spoiling her since she was a child, and her temper is inevitably arrogant, and at this time, she doesn't care about her mother's face, and immediately loses her temper: "You haven't let me try, how do you know if it's okay?" Maybe Sanshao will be able to take a fancy to me? I don't ask for the position of the wife of the young grandmother of the Tang family, as long as I can wait by his side, even if it is a concubine, maybe after a long time, the third young man thinks I am good, can I be given a name? How can outsiders explain this kind of thing clearly, just like you and Uncle Yang, outsiders don't think that you are a half-old, looking for a man to post upside down, how can you be worthy of a hero like Uncle Yang. ”

"How do you speak?" Yang Kun was not happy, this Gui Beiyan was a treasure he begged for: "Have you ever considered your mother's feelings when you talk like this, have you thought that it will hurt your mother, and she will raise you with hard work." ”

On ordinary days, Gui Beiyan cares very much about her appearance, how can anyone dare to mention an old word to her.

"Then has anyone ever thought about my feelings, I'm just an orphan girl that no one wants, and if you raise me, can you rub me flat at will?"

These words poked Gui Beiyan's lungs, and he was so angry that he was speechless. Gao Yu'er didn't care what her reaction was, and rushed out of the hall angrily.
