At this moment, a soldier in a cloth of lily clothes came from the drizzle quickly, knelt on one knee outside the door, and respectfully bowed his head to report: "Report! News has just come that something suspicious has been found in the woods in the west of the city! ”

When everyone in the room heard this, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and they all looked at the soldiers who came to report at the door.

Yu Wenyi was even more anxious, raised his legs and hurriedly took a few steps forward, and shouted to the soldiers outside the door: "Get up and speak!" What was found?! ”

The young soldier rose in response, glanced up at Yu Wenyi slightly, then lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Major General Hui, when we searched the woods in the west of the city, we found a wooden house, in which there were women's scattered clothes, jewelry, and some broken hemp ropes. ”

"Have you found any missing women?"

"Not yet!"

"What about the corpses?"

"Neither!"

"Lead the way ahead! Check it out! "It was Huang Fuchen who spoke.

Shangguan Jiyue looked up in the direction of the voice, his face was solemn, his eyes were deep, and his voice was not loud, but it was undoubtedly low and majestic.

"Yes!" The soldier took the order, turned and walked out into the rain.

Everyone then strode out, and when they reached the door, Huangfu Chen suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back at Shangguan Jiyue: "Yue'er, you go back to the post house and wait for me." ”

Shangguan Jiyue was slightly stunned, looked at the man's dark eyes, and nodded: "Okay, you must be careful." ”

"I will!" After speaking, Huangfu Chen glanced deeply at Shangguan Jiyue again, turned around and stepped out of the door.

In a few moments, the neighing of horses was heard outside, and the sound of horses' hooves rushed straight to the west of the city, further and farther away, and gradually fainted.

Shangguan Jiyue was the only one left in the huge hall, she smiled helplessly, looked at the rain outside, walked to the long case again, picked up the portraits of those missing women, and lowered her eyes in contemplation.

Where have you seen it?

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't think of it, and when I looked up, I found that the light rain outside didn't know when it stopped.

Looking at the slightly brighter sky, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly remembered that today is the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet once a year.

She seemed to think of something, her heart was sweet, she put down the stack of portraits in her hand, got up and left the case, and walked out briskly.

Because it had just rained. The sky is still gray, the bluestone pavement is also wet, there are even small puddles in the low-lying places, and there are few people scattered on the street.

She casually walked all the way to the post house, but she was wondering if Huang Fuchen and they had already arrived in the woods west of the city, and what they found there, and her steps slowed down for a while.

Turning a street corner, she was about to walk forward, but inadvertently saw a familiar slender figure.

The man is dressed in a plain white cloth shirt, with a slender figure and a gentle temperament. It's just that at this time, what he is carrying in his hand is not a medicine box, but a vegetable basket full of ingredients, which is being blocked by two colorful matchmakers on the side of the street, looking slightly embarrassed and evasive.

Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but stop, looking at the three people pulling and pulling with a smile, and the voices of the two matchmakers gradually came.

"Doctor Jia, the youngest daughter of Xu Yuanwai's family is a beautiful embryo, sixteen years old, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the dowry is also very rich, the most important thing is that Miss Xu loves you, you give a happy word, and I can go and reply to a letter." One of the matchmakers said.

Before Jia Xingbai could respond, another fast-talking matchmaker interjected: "Hey! Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all decorations, what is the use? Those young ladies are pampered, and they can't do anything when they marry back, but they still have to be served. If you want me to say, the most important thing to marry a wife and a virtuous person is to be able to run a family. She changed her words, "The granddaughter of Old Man Zhang's family is ingenious, you have also seen it, she looks good and is seventeen years old." Although there is no dowry, if you marry Dr. Jia, you will be a good wife and mother......"

"No, no, no......" Jia Xingbai waved his hand again and again while hiding, "I have no plans to marry a wife for the time being, thank you for your kindness, thank you for your wrong love......

"Why don't you plan to marry a wife, the man should marry the woman, and you are not too young, don't you want a woman at night?"

"That's it! You are a young man, strong in blood, marrying a daughter-in-law to warm your kang head, give birth to a son, and someone to take care of your food and clothing, aren't you happy? ”

The two matchmakers muttered, and Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard it. It turned out that Jia Xingbai had also become the target of these women who had not yet come out of the cabinet.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shangguan Jiyue also understood it instantly. Although Jia Xingbai is a doctor, he has superb medical skills, a gentle temper, and an unusually handsome and elegant appearance.

At this moment, Jia Xingbai also saw Shangguan Jiyue, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled awkwardly at her from afar.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a friend is here, please let me ...... Let's ......" Jia Xingbai said as he dodged the entanglement of the two matchmakers and walked in the direction of Shangguan Jiyue.

Seeing this, Shangguan Jiyue had no choice but to shake her head and walk towards Jia Xingbai with a light smile. Listening to his tone, he wanted her to act bravely and block the two matchmakers.

The two matchmakers also noticed Shangguan Jiyue at this time, and they were amazed and immediately collapsed, and each muttered: "It turns out that with such a beautiful little friend, I wonder I have to want to marry!" ”

After speaking, the two snorted coldly, shook their handkerchiefs, twisted their waists and left one after another.

As soon as the two left, Shangguan Jiyue couldn't hold back any longer, and looked at Jia Xingbai covering her lips and laughing. The eyebrows and eyes of the straight smile are crooked, and the shoulders tremble slightly.

Jia Xingbai seemed to be laughed at by Shangguan Jiyue, and his smile was even more embarrassing, and his face turned red. He put down the basket, bowed his hand slightly, bent down, and said seriously: "It's all because Xingbai is not good, people misunderstand General Qi, and Xingbai is here to make amends to General Qi." ”

Shangguan Jiyue saw that he was making amends for his sins in such a serious manner, and immediately wanted to laugh again, so he hurriedly endured it. But the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were still full of smiles, and he helped him weakly: "Doctor Jia doesn't have to be polite, hurry up." ”

Jia Xingbai stood up straight, but he didn't look at Shangguan Jiyue, and there was still a little blush on his fair handsome face.

Shangguan Jiyue raised the corners of her lips silently, she didn't expect Jia Xingbai to be so shy, just like a woman. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the hands carrying the vegetable basket again, the fingers were slender, the bones were distinct, and they were as white as jade, as if they were whiter than the last time they saw him.

As if sensing Shangguan Jiyue's gaze, Jia Xingbai smiled faintly, straightened his sleeves, covered his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Today, Xingbai made General Qi laugh." ”

"No, no." Although Shangguan Jiyue wanted to laugh very much, she still said insincere words in a row, just coughed lightly, turned her face slightly, and the corners of her lips gradually curved in places where he couldn't see.

Jia Xingbai glanced at her: "It's okay, General Qi can laugh if he wants, you don't have to dodge like this, Xingbai won't care." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh again.

Jia Xingbai also smiled a little embarrassedly.
