Xiaolan was very worried, because Guo Xiaoxiao was going to meet Mrs. Yuan in Zuixianlou in the afternoon, and if it rained heavily, this business might be yellow.

At this time, the air on the fifth floor was very stuffy, and Guo Xiaoxiao woke up again after not sleeping for long. She got up and looked outside the observation deck at the slight dark clouds, straightened her clothes, and went down to the first floor.

Xiaolan saw her coming down and said, "Miss is awake, do you want some soup?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked outside the door and said, "No need, what time is it?" ”

"It's almost time."

Guo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a while, and saw the sunlight shining into the room again: "Let's go to the Drunken Immortal Tower." ”

"Miss, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain." Little Landau.

"This rain should not fall, it will be sunny for a while and cloudy for a while. Let's go first, and if it's raining, just find a place to shelter on the road. ”

Xiaolan thought about it, felt that it made some sense, picked up the chrysanthemum oil paper umbrella and followed Guo Xiaoxiao out.

Yarong instructed: "Miss, when it rains, remember to find a place to hide from the rain, don't get drenched." ”

"Got it."

On the way, Xiaolan covered Guo Xiaoxiao with the sun: "This weather is really cloudy and sunny, and the sun will come out again." ”

"No, you told me not to come out."

"Isn't the slave worried about you?"

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and entered the Drunken Immortal Building. Xiao Er came over to greet Guo Xiaoxiao and the two, and Xiao Er said that the private room on the second floor was full, and there were vacancies on the third and fourth floors.

Guo Xiaoxiao thought that Mrs. Yuan didn't want to go up too high, so he booked a private room on the third floor. Xiao Er led Guo Xiaoxiao and the two to the third floor, and also served tea.

Xiao Er said: "Does the girl order now?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Don't order it first, there is still a guest who has not arrived." ”

"Okay, then I'll come up when the guests are all there."

Xiao Er went downstairs, Guo Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea, took a few sips, and made a very flavorful appearance.

Xiaolan was greedy: "Do you still drink this tea, Miss?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded: "It's not bad, do you want a drink?" ”

Xiaolan was embarrassed to take another cup and pour some for herself.

"Poof, this thing tastes the same as Tieguanyin." She said disgustedly, "Don't you like to drink bitter things?" Every time I drink medicine, I have to go through a struggle of thoughts, why do I drink it so deliciously? ”

Xiaolan has served Guo Xiaoxiao since she was a child, and her preferences Xiaolan knows best.

"This tea is inferior to the plum blossom tea of our Zijin Fang, but it has its own characteristics, its astringency penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and then it is extremely bitter, and there is a little sweetness after swallowing."

Xiao Lan made an extremely reluctant expression, enlarged the cup on the table, and retreated.

After a while, Xiaolan said again: "Why hasn't this Mrs. Yuan come yet?" ”

"It should be that we came early, we are sellers, it doesn't hurt to wait for more time for guests, it's not good to come late and let guests wait for us."

"That's what Miss said."

At this moment, Xiao Er went upstairs, and Xiao Er was accompanied by an embroidered woman.

"Miss, it's not good." Zipei looked panicked when she saw Guo Xiaoxiao.

"What's wrong?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"The head of Jiang from the Yamen just came to Zijinfang to look for you, and he said, he said that Commander Jiang was assassinated!"

"What?" Guo Xiaoxiao stood up from the stool suddenly, "How can this be?" ”

The Jiang catcher in Zipei's mouth is talking about Jiang Feng, and Jiang Zhiyuan is the commander of Jiang.

"Jiang Zhutou said that Commander Jiang met a bandit on the way back to Yangzhou to escort the official property, and Commander Jiang desperately protected the official property, but was caught by the thief, and now there is more luck and less luck!" Zipei finished these words with all his breath.

Guo Xiaoxiao's whole spirit became trance: "I'm going to find him, I'm going to find him." ”

Zipei stopped Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "Where are you looking, eldest lady?" ”

"I ...... I'm going to the place where he was caught. What about Jiang Feng? What about Jiang Feng? Guo Xiaoxiao staggered out of the private room, "Where is Jiang Feng?" Where is Jiang Feng? I want to see him, I want to see him! ”

"Miss." Xiaolan followed Guo Xiaoxiao out and saw her rushing downstairs, for fear that she would fall, so she quickly chased after her.

After Guo Xiaoxiao went downstairs, Xiao Er stopped her: "Girl, where are you going?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao pushed Xiao Er away and rushed out the door, followed by Xiaolan and Zipei. Zipei saw that Xiao Er was knocked away, and after explaining the reason to Xiao Er, he chased him out again.

When she ran to the edge of Wan Lake, she accidentally tripped over a small hole in the ground. At this time, she didn't notice the pit under her feet at all, and she didn't know the pain after falling, so she got up and continued to run towards the yamen.

Xiaolan finally caught up and hugged Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao pushed Xiaolan away vigorously, and Xiaolan hugged her desperately.

"Let go of me! Let me go! "She was struggling like a mad bison.

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaolan cried.

"You let go of me!"

"Miss!" Zipei finally caught up and hugged Guo Xiaoxiao with Xiaolan.

After Guo Xiaoxiao ran out of strength and finally calmed down, the two let go of her.

"It's useless for you to look like you're crazy." Zi Pei persuaded, "Jiang Zhutou has already returned to the yamen to report to the prefect, and he asked me to tell you that he wants you to be mentally prepared." ”

Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao was no longer crazy, Xiaolan said: "Yes, Miss, Young Master Cousin is in dire straits now, all you can do is to wait for him and pray that God will bless him for a safe return." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the ground with a dull gaze.

"If I had known you would be going crazy hysterically, I wouldn't have told you." Zi Pei squatted down and took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, "Zi Pei didn't know that your friendship with Commander Jiang was so deep, and his safety would make him so worried." ”

"Zipei." Xiaolan gave Zipei a look and asked her not to mention Jiang Zhiyuan again.

Zipei shut up in a daze, Guo Xiaoxiao calmed down, and said to Xiaolan: "What about the umbrella? ”

"I landed in the Drunken Immortal Building just now."

"Go get it back for me."

"Yes, then Mrs. Yuan......"

"Let's push it off first, go and return the private room." Guo Xiaoxiao got up, his hair was a little messy because of the wild running just now, "I'm going to wait for him in Jiangfu." ”

Seeing Zi Pei standing respectfully aside, Guo Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Zijin Fang will be handed over to you and your aunt." ”

"Yes."

At this time, the dark clouds were overwhelming, the thunder was roaring, Guo Xiaoxiao left Lilac Lane and walked in the direction of Jiangfu. Xiaolan followed Guo Xiaoxiao's instructions, went to the Zuixian Building to get an umbrella, retreated to the private room, and after giving Xiao Er some broken silver, she went to follow Guo Xiaoxiao. Zipei also returned to Zijinfang to return to his life.

Xiaolan trotted to keep up with Guo Xiaoxiao, the rain did not fall, but the black clouds pressed the city, and it always looked like it was going to rain. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't go in when he arrived at Jiangfu, just waited for him on the porch.

The little girl went out to meet her several times, but she just refused to go in. The little guy was helpless, so he took a stool for Guo Xiaoxiao to sit on. Jiang Zhiyuan was captured by the bandits, and the whole Jiang Mansion already knew about it, but no one in the mansion looked panicked, and they were still in order as usual, cooking what should be cooking, cleaning and cleaning.

Guo Xiaoxiao was in the mood to sit on a stool, and kept walking around in front of Jiangfu, walking for a while and then stopping, walking for a while and then stopping. Xiaolan persuaded her several times: "Miss, your waist is not good, sit for a while." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao always shook his head, but still did not change his career. Sometimes there was soreness in her waist, but as long as she thought of Jiang Zhiyuan, she ignored the soreness.

She was wounded in the waist when she was thirteen years old, and she fell from a horseback ride. That was her first contact with equestrianism, and at the horse farm in Suzhou, she made an appointment with Guo Qianqian and Jiang Zhiyuan to learn to ride horses. Jiang Zhiyuan was agile and learned it at once. But she was very stupid in riding, and Jiang Zhiyuan specially chose a gentle horse for her.

When she was not very familiar with equestrianism, Guo Qianqian invited her to compete. Because her horse was relatively short, it was suitable for Guo Qianqian's length, and Guo Qianqian begged Master Guo, Jiang Zhiyuan had no choice but to give her horse to Guo Qianqian.

The two were ready at the starting line, and the referee sounded a gong, and the two rushed out together. After a while, Guo Qianqian took the lead over her. Not to be outdone, she raised her whip and pumped it fiercely on the horse, the horse was stimulated by the pain, and immediately accelerated her pace, galloped wildly on the horse farm, and choked Guo Xiaoxiao enough.

But she found that she was still behind Guo Qianqian, and then whipped the horse a few times, who knew that the horse was like crazy, running and crashing for a while. Guo Xiaoxiao was wantonly thrown by the horse on the horse's back, she pulled the reins and tried to calm the horse down, but the horse didn't listen to the call at all, and turned around and threw her out.

She broke a small bone in her waist. The doctor said that fortunately, he was still growing and could slowly recover from regular activities in the future.

However, "some" is just "some" after all, no matter how she recovers, the injury on her waist will still become her shortcoming, and sitting or standing for a long time will make her feel uncomfortable. This is the reason why Jiang Zhiyuan hates Guo Qianqian.

From Shenshi to Youshi, the sky still began to pour down, sweeping the ground like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. The wind blew the rain into the eaves, and Xiaolan opened the oil-paper umbrella and said, "Miss, let's go in and take shelter." ”

"No, I'm going to wait for him here." In the wind and rain, Guo Xiaoxiao stood in the rain and fog.

A little servant opened the door and came out: "Miss, go to the house to take shelter from the rain." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was speechless, his eyes kept looking at the end of the alley, which was the only way for Jiang Zhiyuan to return home. Xiaolan shook her head sadly, and Xiaowu understood what she meant, no longer dissuaded, and quietly retreated. However, this time the little maid did not close the door, but ajar it, and could enter the house at any time.

Guo Xiaoxiao remembered something, and said to Xiaolan: "You go and tell the kitchen to boil hot water, my cousin must be soaking wet when he comes back." ”

Xiaolan lowered her head in embarrassment, wanting to tell her that Jiang Zhiyuan might not be able to come back at all, and it was useless to do this. Although Xiaolan thought so in her heart, she still followed Guo Xiaoxiao's instructions and entered the Jiang Mansion.

Guo Xiaoxiao held the oil-paper umbrella left by Xiaolan in his hand and looked anxiously at the end of the alley. Her clothes were gradually wet with the rain and mist, and although the porch was not directly drenched in the rain, the wind and rain were blowing very hard, and her hair and face were covered with small raindrops like salt grains.

She wiped it casually with her sleeve, and there was a firm belief in her heart, and everyone under her mind believed that Jiang Zhiyuan would not come back, but she felt that he would definitely be blessed by God and return safely.

"Da ......" There was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The rain was so loud that she couldn't hear it clearly. The voice was getting closer, and her eyes lit up in anticipation, as if she saw hope.
