Not far south of Chongdu is a large lake, surrounded by gentle rolling hills, and several trickles flow into the lake from the belly of the mountain. In the summer heat, it becomes a cool place to live. Because of this, the princes and nobles in Chongdu City enclosed their own land, and took a few places in the mountains that were relatively gentle and had unique scenery as their own, and built a villa garden here, so that they could come here to escape the heat in summer.

The wide official road is almost parallel to the river, the sound of horses' hooves falls like stepping on the drum, and the two horses gallop towards Chongdu one after the other, the people on the horses are very flamboyant, the horses are carved saddles, and the people are also splendid clothes. The man behind raised his hand, and a long whip was thrown down in the air, and it hit the hind hip of the horse in front of him, and the horse neighed and was about to run forward, but was grabbed by the reins of his master, and his front hooves were raised high.

"I once whipped a famous horse for drunkenness!" The whip-wielding man's eyebrows fluttered, and he groaned with high interest.

The one at the front just laughed it off, he knew this friend's heart too well, and the more he messed around, the more others shouldn't pay attention to him. He chuckled and shook his head, and then rode his horse towards the forest by the roadside.

"Master Xi, don't ignore people!"

There was a wide meadow in the woods, Xi Yan jumped off the horse, and lay on his back on the grass with a relaxed face, "I will never go out of the city with you again in the future......"

"What's wrong!?" Qi An wiped the sweat on his forehead and lay beside him.

"If you want to go to the mountain villa to escape the summer, you have to go to your house. You are closer, but the scenery is not as good as my ......" Xi Yan thought of Fang Cai's experience, and his heart was quite awkward.

"The scenery is a little worse, but there are beautiful people and fine wine~" As soon as Qi An turned over, most of his body pounced on Xi Yan, pressing him almost out of breath.

"And your thirteen aunts?" Xi Yan desperately pushed him away, and finally pulled out from under him.

Speaking of this stubble, Qi An's face was also quite embarrassed, they just wanted to find a place where no one was to relax their minds, and finally chose the Qi family's villa outside the city after choosing left and right, who knew that as soon as they entered the door, they found that it had already been occupied. Qi An's thirteen aunts and aunts were holding a banquet in the villa to listen to the play, and when they saw the two coming, they pulled them into the banquet without saying anything.

The ladies and ladies already love to watch some bitter dramas of talented and beautiful women, and this kind of drama happens to be the least favorite of the two. As the saying goes, three women are a play, if thirteen women get together to chat, the scene is like a thousand ducks gathering together to call. The two were dragged by the elders to ask this and that, from official positions to marriage, and from interesting stories when they were children to things after the crowning......

In the end, Qi An couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly thought of an excuse to leave, and the moment he left the gate of the villa, both of them had a feeling of escape......

"I didn't know if they would live in the villa," Qi An softly excused himself, and then grinned, "But I see that my fourth aunt likes you very much, and I'm afraid I want to marry my cousin to you." Besides...... Aren't you having a good time? ”

"Go, go, what's the heart? If it weren't for the courtesy, I would have left early......" Xi Yan raised his eyes and looked directly at the sky, the sun had already been buried in Stratus clouds, and the sky was very soft.

"Okay, okay, just think it's my mistake," Qi An propped up his body with his hands and said in a humble manner, "Originally, things have been too busy and stressful recently, so I asked you to come out to run and relax, who knows that I will make you tired again, it is really my fault, and I can't compensate you." ”

Xi Yan was made to cry and laugh by his actions, so he could only push his hand away and scolded with a smile: "You don't come here, and those who don't know think I'm so stingy." No matter what, I won't ask you to deign to apologize, will I? ”

Qi An laughed, turned over and sat up, "That's it, how can you be such a generous person as Xi Gongzi and me?" But when it comes to going out of the city in the afternoon, it's actually the most comfortable here! ”

"Yes," Xi Yan also replied lazily, "There is less smoke and miasma here, and the atmosphere in the forest is very comfortable, and the natural atmosphere of heaven and earth is of course the most comfortable." ”

"Why do I think you speak like a Taoist priest," Qi An stood up, stretched hard, and suddenly stared at the official road.

"Huh! Huh! Qi An kicked Xi Yan gently, and Xi Yan also felt the vibration of the ground under him at this moment, and got up with a solemn face to look at Qi An's gaze.

"Is it a dart team?" Qi An didn't answer, but the two of them both felt each other's suspicions from each other's eyes, and Qi An said in a deep voice, "How can there be so many escorts from the idle dart team?" Have you counted how many dart carts have just passed? ”

"Seventeen." Xi Yan stared at the team that was still rumbling by, and asked, "Which dart game is it, do you recognize that dart flag?" ”

"How can I know," Qi An saw that it was just a dart team, and he lost interest for a while, so he squatted down again.

"They stopped, didn't they ......" Xi Yan shook his head slowly, ignoring the fact that Qi An was pulling the hem of his clothes, "People from the Jing family? Look, is that the guard next to Jing Yuan? ”

When Qi An heard this, he immediately got up again, and this time both of them saw it clearly. The heavily guarded dart team stopped in the middle of the official road, and a person came opposite the head of the dart, who was the guard next to Jing Yuan. Seeing that he commanded the dart team to be busy for a while, the original dart flag was replaced with the sign of the Jing family, and after a short rest, the dart team roared towards Chongdu.

"Why did they change the dart flag?" Qi An frowned and thought for a long time, but he was still puzzled.

"Probably two possible ......" Xi Yan's thinking was relatively clear, and he pondered, "Either this is the Jing family's team, pretending to be a dart team just to hide people's eyes; Or, just to get into the city for the dart team. ”

As soon as Xi Yan said this, Qi An could naturally understand, he took over and continued, "Not bad, such a long queue, when you enter the city, you must open the box for inspection, but if you hang the sign of Jingfu, the guards at the city gate can only be exempted from inspection, and then welcome them in......"

"Yes," Xi Yan also made a confused look on his face, "What the hell is the escort, seventeen carts...... It's so well guarded. ”

Qi An looked at it thoughtfully, and rolled his eyes and said, "Silver two? South...... There are a lot of arrangements in the Jing family, isn't it what Jing Yuan is going to do? ”

"I don't know," Xi Yan shook his head slowly, "I can't be interested in Jing Yuan for the time being." If you are interested...... Just look it up. ”

"I'm not interested," Qi An patted the grass clippings stuck to the hem of his robe, and pouted, "What if people really just bring some silver taels into Beijing?" ”

Xi Yan smiled, but the sudden flickering of his eyes showed that he was not ignorant of the matter.

"Let's go," Qi An pulled up his cuffs and put one hand on Xi Yan's shoulder, "Let's go to the city, go to Hele Lou for dinner first, order a crispy duck you love, and then have a poinsettia braised yellow croaker, and then go to Shifang Street to listen to music." ”

"Yes, add another mulberry chrysanthemum herbal tea to relieve greasy." Xi Yan nodded in agreement, then turned over and got on the horse, and the two of them went to Chongdu side by side.
