More than a month has passed since the Jincheng prefect's murder tragedy, and the imperial court still has not sent officials over, not to mention the officials of Jincheng, even ordinary people, can't help but panic.

But these have nothing to do with the people of the rivers and lakes, they are a little happy under the leniency of Yin Jiabao, especially the people invited by An Xun, most of them are free people, they are unrestrained and rarely have a moment to settle down, but they are not in a hurry to urge Yin Jiabao to indicate the purpose of inviting them over.

As for the poisoning of the lord of Yinbao, these people in the rivers and lakes did not know about it for the time being, thinking that he had not returned from going out to run errands.

Shen Yi and Song Xingchen have been coming to Yinjiabao for two days, An Xun doesn't know if he is too busy or not in a hurry, and he has never meant to see them, but Yin Ye has met with them and is very kind to help them hide their identities.

Because there is no prefect, the inventory of the city gate has been a little stricter recently, so as not to cause chaos at this time, and there is no one in charge.

"Xianggong, you have come to Jincheng, just accompany me to Yinjiabao, your cousin's invitation also has your name written on it, it is not good for me to go alone, after all, we are already married." Liu Hui'er looked at He Xiaze with a pitiful face, tears rolling in her eyes.

He Xiaze frowned, with a look of impatience in his eyes.

Although it was not sincere to marry Liu Huier at the beginning, Liu Huier was in a difficult situation, He Xiaze still had some sympathy for her, and she also had a desire to protect, but it had nothing to do with love.

The two have been married for a few years, and He Xiaze has been trying to integrate into the role of her husband, but Liu Huier shows a sad appearance from time to time, as if everyone in this world has bullied her, which makes He Xiaze feel very tired.

"Hui'er, I have already told you, I am the general who guards the city, I can't leave my post without permission, you have arrived in Jincheng safely, and I should return to the border pass." He Xiaze did not open his mouth warmly, and had a businesslike tone.

Liu Hui'er secretly hated in her heart, she thought she was a beauty, but she had never entered He Xiaze's heart.

As long as he doesn't touch He Xiaze's bottom line in everything, he can tolerate Liu Hui'er, but in principle, things will not be shaken in the slightest because of Liu Hui'er, otherwise Liu Hui'er would not have deceived him to Jincheng.

"But I've only been here for two days, do you want you to come and pick me up again? Besides, General Qi is also a general defending the city, can something happen with him in charge? Xianggong, you are not the only general in the Great Zhou Kingdom, it is not that you have to be you, my Hui'er only has one relative. Liu Huier said, tears flowed down, and the action of wiping her tears attracted the attention of many passers-by.

He Xiaze wanted to yell and let Liu Hui'er take back her tears, but during this time, his temper became more and more difficult to control, and there was no way to show Liu Hui'er's weak side as before.

"The enemy country is about to move, and the army is stationed at the border, and you are so unwilling to let me go back, in case the enemy army comes, even my head is not enough to excuse the crime, so you want to be a widow?" He Xiaze lowered his voice, but his tone could no longer be calm.

Liu Hui'er's body stiffened, and she was stunned for a while before she said: "No, the two countries have to pay a price for going to war, and the neighbors have always been friendly, so how can they ......?"

"Who are you from an enemy country? Do you know what they're thinking? Hui'er, if it weren't for you being my wife, I would have suspected that you were deliberately taking me away from the border pass......" He Xiaze suddenly stopped halfway through his words, looked at Liu Hui'er with deep eyes, and saw that she was a little unbearable when she shrunk her neck, but she still asked: "Hui'er, you tell me the truth, do you still have contact with the capital?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Hui'er hurriedly shook her head and explained: "Xianggong, you know my relationship with that side, how can I have contact with them?" Those people don't see me well, and I don't think it's too late to escape from them. ”

After staring at Liu Hui'er for a while, He Xiaze handed her the bag, stepped out of the way and said, "Get in the car, I'll go back to the border." ”

"But ......" Liu Hui'er still wanted to keep people, but He Xiaze had already turned over and got on the horse, so she had to change her words: "Xianggong, don't forget to pick me up, I don't dare to go on the road alone." ”

"Your cousin will send someone to send you back to the border gate, and the people around him are no worse than my kung fu." He Xiaze refused indifferently.

"But I don't want to go with a strange man, if Xianggong is busy with official business, then wait until I have time to pick me up, I will wait for Xianggong." Liu Hui'er didn't give He Xiaze a chance to refuse, and hurriedly pulled out a smile and said, "Xianggong has a good journey." ”

After speaking, Liu Hui'er got into the carriage, did not give He Xiaze a chance to refuse, and ordered the carriage to start.

He Xiaze also immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away towards the outside of the city.

Before going to the border with He Xiaze, Liu Huier passed through Jincheng, but this was the first time to come here as a guest, so she couldn't help but be a little curious, reached out and opened the curtains, glanced at the scenery outside, and found that there was nothing too novel, so she put it down again.

And Liu Hui'er's action happened to let the strawberries who went out to buy snacks see it, and after being stunned for a while, they hurriedly ran back to the grocery store.

"Someone chasing you? You can't be steady. Apple glared at the strawberry and continued to tally.

"Guess who I saw?" Strawberry didn't even breathe, so he spoke.

"Is it a noodle seller, or a dim sum seller?" Apple asked casually, just with strawberries.

"It's that Liu Hui'er, the woman who is delicate and sheds tears at every turn." After strawberry finished speaking, she looked at Song Yue at the counter, and asked with some concern: "She knows the second miss, and she seems to know the master, she is in Jincheng now, if she sees the two young ladies, will there be an accident?" ”

Apple frowned, put down the things in his hand, walked towards the counter, stretched out his hand and waved in front of Song Yue, and whispered the words of strawberry.

Song Yue raised her eyebrows in annoyance, thought for a while, and said, "I won't go out these days, if I'm afraid that she will find out, let's close the grocery store first." ”

Apple pondered for a moment, nodded approvingly: "It's okay, we can recognize Liu Hui'er, and maybe she also has an impression of us, if we meet us on the road, we will definitely be noticed by her." ”

"That woman is not a good thing, we can't cause trouble now, we can only let her go first." Strawberry muttered: "It's just that we are avoiding her like this, and we are really uncomfortable in our hearts." ”

Glaring at the strawberry fiercely, Apple was worried that Song Yue would make an irrational decision, so she hurriedly said: "Third Miss, there are no guests left and right now, or we will close the shop now?" ”

Song Yue has been worried about her husband and sisters for the past two days, and she has no intention of doing business, so she nodded in agreement.

As for Liu Hui'er's appearance, Song Yue didn't take it to heart, a woman who had nothing to do with her at all, it wasn't worth wasting her mind.

In Yinjiabao, after Liu Hui'er got off the carriage, someone led her to the hall, and An Xun was already waiting here.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, my cousin is still handsome and extraordinary, but Hui'er has become a young woman." Liu Hui'er opened her mouth sweetly and handed the luggage to the girl on the side.

"The more and more signs of your cousin's whereabouts show that your cousin-in-law loves you very much, and it is not a false rumor." An Xun smiled gently, looked outside, and saw that there was no one behind Liu Hui'er, so he asked, "Where is my cousin-in-law?" Didn't come with you? ”

The curvature of the corners of Liu Hui'er's mouth stiffened for a moment, and then explained: "Xianggong still has official business, send me to Jincheng and go back, and he will come to pick me up in a few days." ”

An Xun's smile faded by two points, but he still maintained a polite smile, "Cousin is tired all the way, I asked my subordinates to arrange for you to rest first, and then pick up the wind for you later." ”

Knowing that An Xun was unhappy, Liu Hui'er pretended not to see it, and turned around and left with his subordinates.

After Liu Hui'er's back disappeared, An Xun immediately turned cold, clenched his fists and whispered: "Okay, you He Xiaze, the An family can't win you over many times, really I can't move you?" ”

Sister Song Xingchen, who was basking in the sun and chatting in the yard, didn't know that Liu Hui'er was also in Yinjiabao, otherwise she would have taken precautions.

An Xun didn't know the past of He Xiaze and Song Yue, so when he arranged a guest house for them, it was very close to this guest house, and they needed to pass by.

"This is also a guest house, right? Why is there still someone waiting at the door? Liu Hui'er has always been sensitive, and when she saw that there were disciples of Yinjiabao guarding outside the guest house, she asked the maid tentatively.

"The slave and maid don't know, the third aunt's guest lives in this courtyard, and it seems that he came from the capital." The maid replied.

"Well, I should pay a visit when I have time. Since he is a distinguished guest in the capital, he can't say that he is still an old acquaintance, and everyone says that the right to speak should be relieved. Liu Hui'er said casually.

The maid hung her head and said in a panic: "Miss Cousin, don't embarrass the slaves, Yinjiabao has the rules of Yinjiabao, and the guests in that courtyard have strange tempers and don't like to be disturbed, even the third aunt rarely passes." ”

"Well, forget it, I don't know anyone with a weird temper." Liu Hui'er smiled indifferently, seeing the girl's relieved appearance, she was even more curious about the guest house.

I don't know if the woman's intuition is too accurate, Song Xingchen was talking when he suddenly glanced in the direction of the outside of the hospital.

"Second sister, what's wrong?" Song Yueya noticed Song Xingchen's expression, so she also glanced at her, but she didn't see anything.

"It's okay, I just suddenly want to see how big Yinjiabao is, but unfortunately we don't have a small building in this yard, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity." Song Xingchen diverted the topic, grabbed a few melon seeds and swallowed them, which was the best way to pass the time.

"You girl, you just can't stay, it's really hard for you to stay in this yard for a few days." Song Yueya reached out and nodded on the tip of Song Xingchen's nose, and then lowered her head to do embroidery work, she had already embroidered a pair of double-sided embroidered pu fans in the past two days, and she was putting the finishing touches on it.

"A few of our sisters, except for the one who loves to nest in the house, only the eldest sister can sit quietly for a day, otherwise I have to die of depression." Song Xingchen pursed his lips, looked down at the embroidery in Song Yueya's hand, and exclaimed: "The eldest sister's embroidery is becoming more and more exquisite, this embroidery can't be sold without a thousand taels of silver, and the eldest sister's hard work has been wasted." ”

"You are a money fan, just a fan, no matter how delicate it is, it is just an embroidery, where can it be worth so much silver." Song Yueya smiled lightly, she has been busy for the past two days, but she has less worry.

"What's wrong with being a fan of money, how hard our family used to be, and now that we have silver, we don't have to worry about filling our stomachs, I like this feeling." Song Xingchen smiled, threw back a few melon seeds in his hand, stood up and stretched his waist and said, "My body bones, if you go on like this, it will be rusty, it's better to exercise." Eldest sister, don't be in a hurry to embroider, move your muscles and bones with me. ”

Saying that, Song Xingchen blinked his eyes and said, "Let's play hide and seek, just like when I was a child, I'll hide first and see how much time the eldest sister can find me." ”
