Cen Ziman opened his big black and white eyes, and said confusedly: "Isn't it from "Xiang Yu's Record", the meaning of being strong and domineering?" ”

Uh, well, that word has been twisted by later generations.

Xia Jin had to raise his eyebrows and turn his head to look out the window.

The man of the Shao family had already bolted his horse and walked over from a distance. In this group of people, wearing dark purple robes and jade crowns, it was Su Muxian. He is already good-looking, and when he is lined with this gorgeous dress, his face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like ink.

When Xia Jin looked at him, he also raised his eyes to look at the window, and the eyes of the two were far away in the air.

Xia Jin didn't feel embarrassed, he bowed his head generously, and was about to withdraw his gaze, Cen Ziman didn't know when he had come to her side, and when he saw Su Muxian, he waved his hand to him happily, which made Xia Qi's eyes light up when he was walking beside Su Muxian, and he couldn't help but wave his hand to this side.

Xia Jin twisted Cen Ziman and said, "Can you be a little reserved?" In public, you are not afraid of people gossiping about you. ”

Cen Ziman immediately blushed, stomped his feet and said angrily: "People are greeting my cousin." ”

Xia Jin secretly rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to this thing, and turned around to talk to Shao Wenxuan.

Gradually, there were more people below. Not only the relatives and friends of the ordinary soldiers recruited in the capital have come, but there are also many official eunuchs from the military position. Those with status and status have all chartered restaurants and teahouses, and those who don't have them are crowded in the crowd, bustling, rubbing shoulders one after another, all stretching their necks and looking forward to the appearance of the army.

The men of the Shao family stayed on the first floor, and the women stayed on the second floor, drinking tea and eating snacks and chatting, but they were still comfortable.

"Coming, coming......" After a while. I heard the pedestrians downstairs shouting.

The men of the Shao family hurriedly got up and went out, and the ladies surrounded the women of the Cen family to the window, and when they looked out, they saw a two-column procession, riding out of the city. The leader was Xuan Pinghou, who was wearing armor. Behind him, two tall flags were erected, and the word "Zhou" was written on one side. On the other side is the word "cen".

Xia Jin glanced at the old lady Xuanping. Seeing her eyes, there is the eagerness, admiration and reluctance of a girl when she looks at her lover, and she can't see worry and sadness at all. Xiao Shi, who was standing beside her, was implicitly worried. It's completely different from my mother-in-law's open-mindedness.

Different ages have different moods.

How many admonitions, they have told each other at home, even when they see their husbands coming on horseback. Mrs. Xuanping and Mrs. Xiao did not go downstairs, let alone shout or wave. Xuan Pinghou and Shizi knew that they were in this restaurant. However, he only glanced this way, and then rode his horse and galloped past, and went directly out of the city gate.

The cavalry and infantry in the back did not stop at all, and went directly out of the city.

After all, the capital is not big. The people who swore in front of the emperor were only some elites, just 5,000 people, just a formality. So it didn't take long. The army had all left the city, and the crowd of people who saw them off slowly dispersed.

"Let's go back too." Xuan Ping waited for the old lady to say.

Cen Ziman pulled Xia Jin to walk at the end. whispered to her: "While my cousin is free, let's go see the shop." After seeing the shop, Dong Yan could prepare. ”

Her proposal was exactly what Xia Jin wanted.

She has always been vigorous and resolute. said that he would open a restaurant and a dim sum shop, and Dong Yan also came, so he will do things. Once this is on track, she has other things to do.

However, she considered the problem much more thoroughly than Cen Ziman. The shop has to be seen, but Su Muxian and Xia Qi don't have to accompany them. Xia Qi and Cen Ziman became an unmarried couple, so it is not appropriate to see each other more; She didn't want to have anything to do with any young man, lest she provoke Mrs. Luo to do something stupid.

"You send someone to tell your cousin that he can send Su Qin's old housekeeper to accompany us to look at the shop."

Cen Ziman made that suggestion, originally wanting to match Xia Jin and Su Muxian and let them get along more, but he couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this. Looking back, Xia Jin and Su Muxian really didn't see each other much, so they had to give up and sent Xue'er to inform Su Muxian. However, before Xue'er left, she still avoided Xia Jin's gaze and winked at Xue'er.

After a while, Xue'er came back and said, "My cousin said that the shop is on Dong'an Street." He will send someone back to his house now to call Steward Su and let him wait there. As he spoke, he glanced up at his own girl and shook his head slightly.

Cen Ziman hurriedly looked at Su Muxian, wondering what his expression was. But he didn't want Su Muxian to look this way at all, his face was in the direction of the Shao family brothers, and he seemed to be listening to them intently.

"Elm head." Cen Ziman scolded secretly.

Cen Ziman and Xue'er's eyebrow lawsuit, Xia Jin naturally saw it. She didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, turned her head and instructed Calamus: "You go back to the mansion and inform Dong Yan to go to Dong'an Street." Then you don't have to go back here, join me over there with him. ”

Xia Jin has always been light and simple when he goes out, and he often only brings one subordinate with him. Although Calamus was embarrassed to face to face with Dong Yan, she was the only one who followed Xia Jin today, so she had to take the order and leave in a hurry.

Cen Ziman and Xia Jin are juniors, and their carriage can only walk at the end of the line. That's appropriate. When everyone got into the carriage and walked back, she and Xia Jin broke away from the army and headed for Dong'an Street.

Although Xia Jin has been in the capital for a while, she has not gone shopping much, and when the carriage stopped, she followed Cen Ziman forward through two streets, standing on a street full of people, she knew that this Dong'an Street was the most prosperous street in the capital.

"My cousin really has a lot of good shops." Cen Ziman pulled Xia Jin, looked at the streets full of tourists, and said excitedly.

"Do you know where you are?" Xia Jin saw that this street was relatively long, and he was afraid that it would take half an hour to walk from beginning to end, and there were many people, so he couldn't go faster if he wanted to, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried. I knew that I would have made an appointment with Su Qin and Dong Yan about whether it was the east end of the street or the west end of the street.

"I don't know." Cen Ziman also made a bitter face.

At this time, it is the end of May, and today it is sunny again, and the sun makes people sweat. She had just been gone for a while, and she was a little overwhelmed.

Xia Jin saw a teahouse next to him and said, "You and Xue'er go upstairs and wait, I'll go look for them." ”

"How does this work?" Xue'er was anxious when she heard this, "How can there be a reason for the girl to find someone and the slave to rest?" Naturally, the two girls went to the teahouse. The slave went to find someone. ”

Xue'er is next to Cen Ziman, she is a deputy lady, and her body is a little delicate, not as energetic as Cen Ziman. Let her go to find someone, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back for an hour.

"Okay, don't fight, it's settled." Xia Jin couldn't help but say and waved his hand at them. Turn around and go.

Cen Ziman knew that Xia Jin's kung fu was very good. This is not the time for an argument, so I have to pull Xue'er to the teahouse.

Although there are many pedestrians on the street, Xia Jin is nimble. Wearing flowers, the pace of the figure seems to be leisurely, but in fact, it suddenly rushed to the other end. Walking from the street to the end of the street is just a cup of tea. It's just that on this trip, she only met Dong Yan and Calamus. Su Qin was nowhere to be seen.

"Girl, you and Calamus go back to the teahouse first. I'll go find Steward Su. Dong Yan said.

"You haven't met him again, how can you find him?" Xia Jin said with a smile.

Dong Yan had no choice but to stop.

"Miss Xia, Miss Xia......" A familiar voice came from not far away.

Xia Jin turned his head to look, only to see Su Muxian squeezing through the crowd with a sweat.

Xia Jin glanced behind him. Seeing that there was no one, her eyes flashed and she asked, "Why are you?" What about Su Qin? ”

Su Muxian stood still in front of her. wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When I go home." He was still in the house, and he had been delayed for a while. I came and saw Xue'er at the door of the teahouse, I asked him to wait at the teahouse, and then I came to look for you. ”

Xia Jin frowned and waved his hand: "Let's go, go back to the teahouse." ”

Su Muxian nodded, did not speak again, but hurriedly took a step forward, walked in front of her, helped her block passers-by, and escorted her all the way to the teahouse.

When he arrived at the door of the teahouse, Su Muxian stopped and turned around: "I still have something to do over there, so I won't accompany you." The shop is not far away, and the two are connected together. Just let Su Qin accompany you to see it then. As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Jin, turned around and left.

Xia Jin looked at his departing back, frowning slightly. It wasn't until he disappeared into the crowd that she turned around and entered the teahouse.

Probably to make her easy to find, Cen Ziman did not go up to the second floor, but sat on the first floor and waited for her. Su Qin was standing beside her, following her to say something.

"You're back?" As soon as he saw Xia Jin coming in, Cen Ziman stood up, saw that only Dong Yan and Calamus were followed behind her, and asked, "My cousin went to look for you, did you see him?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Jin nodded, "He said he had something to do, so he went back first." ”

"Where does he have something to be busy with...... Speaking of this, Cen Ziman waved his hand, "Forget it." Asked Xia Jin, "Will you sit down and have a cup of tea before going over there, or will you go over there and drink tea again?" ”

Tea houses are often divided into two to three floors, the second and third floors are elegantly furnished, and the reception is rich and status; The first floor is often a small citizen, or gossiping, or talking about small business, and the environment is noisy. Cen Ziman, such a pretty lady, is here, and she doesn't match the crowd around her at all.

Xia Jin said: "Let's drink it over there." ”

"Let's go." Cen Ziman pulled her out the door.

Su Qin led the way and walked ahead. The shop in Wu'an Houfu is indeed not far from the teahouse, and it is only three shops away.

The doors of both shops were open, and someone was cleaning inside. Seeing Su Qin enter, a guy immediately ran up and nodded and greeted: "Grandpa Su, are you here?" Looking up at Cen Ziman and Xia Jin, he was stunned for a moment.

"I'll take Miss Cen and Miss Xia to take a look." Su Qin said and asked, "Is upstairs cleaned up?" ”

"Packed up."

"Put on the pot of Biluochun and take a few plates of dim sum." Su Qin commanded, standing at the top of the stairs and smiling at Cen Ziman and Xia Jin, "Two girls, please go upstairs." ”

Xia Jin glanced downstairs and saw that the area of the shop was larger than that of the restaurant in Linjiang, the ground was paved with green bricks, and the pillars and twenty or so tables in the hall were shining with red lacquer, clean and tidy, and it seemed that it was also a restaurant.

She followed Cen Ziman upstairs, and saw that the upstairs was the same, only the table was separated by a screen, and some strange stone porcelain was placed in the compartment for decoration, and some green plants were decorated, and some calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall. The closed gauzy windows block out the hustle and bustle, and it looks very quiet and elegant.

"Two girls, please be seated." Su Qin pulled out two chairs, invited Cen Ziman and Xia Jin to sit down, took the teapot from the man's hand, poured tea for the two, and then bowed and said, "The old slave will accompany the two girls first." When the old slave received the order of the waiting master, he immediately rushed here, but he didn't want to just leave the mansion and encounter some things and delay for some time. My grandfather didn't want to come over. When I returned home, I saw that the old slave hadn't gone out yet, and I didn't think I could make it clear, because I was afraid that the two of them would work hard to find it, so I couldn't rest assured, so I came to take a look. ”

Cen Ziman kept looking at Dong Yan while he was talking.

Xia Jin was such a keen person, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked Su Qin: "What happened to you when you left the mansion, can you tell us about it?" If you can't say it, you don't have to take it seriously if I didn't ask. ”

Su Qin didn't want to hide it, so he immediately said: "It's Miss Dong Fang, I said that I have something to say to Master Hou." ”

These words surprised Dong Yan. He quickly raised his head and looked at Su Qin: "This, is this true?" ”

Su Qin smiled faintly: "Although the old slave is old, his eyes haven't been flowered yet. Miss Dong Fang followed Miss Xia to Houfu, and the old slave had seen it, and she would never admit her mistake. ”

"Girl, girl......" Dong Yan looked at Xia Jin, his face was terrified, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Last night, the villain took Dong Fang back, and he reprimanded her, telling her not to be delusional, and to have that daydream of the blue sky that I don't know what to do." But I don't want her to ......" he was speechless in a hurry.

"I returned her deed of sale, and she is free to do whatever she wants. You don't have to, hurry up. Xia Jin helped Dong Yan weakly, and his expression and tone were very pleasant.

She turned her head and said to Su Qin again: "Miss Dong is not my maid now, she is a free body." ”

"But ......" Su Qin didn't expect Xia Jin to have such an attitude, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Cen Ziman frowned and looked at Xia Jin, as if he couldn't understand what she meant. After thinking about it, she turned her head and asked Su Qin, "Then when my cousin went back, didn't he just meet her?" What does she want to say to her cousin? ”

She said that she wanted to serve Hou Ye to repay Hou Ye's great kindness. Hou Ye said that the object of her repayment should be Miss Xia. Even if he helped the Dong family, it was for the girl's sake. ”

Cen Ziman looked at Xia Jin, his eyes flashed, and his face was colorful.

Dong Yan's face turned red in embarrassment, and he couldn't find a crack to drill into the ground.

Xia Jin didn't seem to see Cen Ziman and Dong Yan's expressions, picked up the tea and drank a cup of tea, and praised: "Good tea." Putting down the teacup, she asked Su Qin, "Is the other shop the same area as this one?" (To be continued)
