Tianye City is very lively, because it is close to the relationship between Jinguo, the buildings here are pavilions, ponds and pavilions, and there is a kind of elegant beauty. Most of the snow countries are bluestone buildings, with a sense of vicissitudes.

The streets of the city are clean and tidy, the shouting of the crowd, the laughter of children, there is a very warm sense of security.

Mu Xiaoxiao was dressed in men's clothes, walked around, and walked straight to Jiao'e Courtyard.

There were two little scholars standing at the door in broad daylight, very well-behaved, Mu Xiaoxiao was curious about what was going on inside, so he walked in with his feet raised.

Inside the carved window light veil, with a faint ink fragrance, the inverted place is hung calligraphy and painting, in the middle there is a one-person high square small platform, the four sides of the tulle float lightly, there is also a guqin on the platform.

Occasionally, a young man in white walked by, and the conversation was soft, this atmosphere was very emotional, Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the room with buildings on three sides, except for the second window on the right hand side that was open, the rest were all closed.

She looked at it, and it seemed like nothing else, so she turned to go out. Suddenly, I heard the sound of chuckling upstairs, turned my head to look, and at some point in the open window, there was a man in white, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, red lips and melon seed face, his hair was simply fixed with a wooden hairpin, and there were slight broken hairs falling on both sides, which looked lazy.

If it weren't for his voice, Mu Xiaoxiao really thought it was a woman, but she saw the person leaning on the window and looking at her lazily, biting the pen in his hand in his mouth.

Rubbing! This is really life-threatening, when did the old lady become so colorful? Scolded in her mouth, covered her nose with one hand, and when she raised her head, she handed over a handkerchief, she took the handkerchief and covered her nose and said, "Thank you." She looked up and stopped for a while, and then the bleeding stopped, and as soon as she put her head down, she saw the beautiful man upstairs standing in front of her and looking at her with a smile.

She put down her hand, blushed a little and said, "Let Childe see and laugh." ”

"It's okay, this is not the first time. The beauty looked surprised.

"If you still have something to do, don't bother the son, say goodbye!" Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and prepared to leave.

"Childe is not from this city?" the man asked.

"Yes, I just arrived yesterday with a friend. Mu Xiaoxiao said honestly.

"We have a poetry meeting in Jiao'e Courtyard tonight, I wonder if we can invite Gongzi to admire his face and come here to be invited?" The beauty had a soft voice, except for hibiscus, she had never heard such a beautiful voice.

"It's 、、、、、、。 Mu Xiaoxiao looked hesitant, and the beauty didn't seem to be in a hurry, quietly waiting for her answer.

"I don't know when my friend will leave, if I'm free tonight, I'll definitely come to cheer!" Mu Xiaoxiao looked sincere.

"In this way, I will thank the son in the next place. "The beauty bows to you.

"Oh, okay, okay. Mu Xiaoxiao also nodded hurriedly.

"In the next surname Zong, I don't know what to call the son?"

"My surname is wood, the wood of the trees. ”

"Then, I hope that my son will come to the appointment in the evening. ”

"Be polite, I'll leave first. ”

Out of Jiao'e Courtyard, Mu Xiaoxiao walked towards the post house.

Zong Yan entered the room, and saw a gray-clothed man sitting in the room, he put away his smile, saluted the man, poured a glass of water and put it in front of the man, just wanted to take his hand, but the white and tender hand was grabbed by a calloused palm, he struggled and did not break free, and the man hugged him in his arms.

"Yan'er, when are you going to be angry with me?" After speaking, he actually put his hand into his xx.

"Zhuang Gongzi, you are laughing, what right do I have to be angry with you?" Zong Yan slapped off his dishonest hand with an indifferent face.

"Alas, it's my father's attention that I want to get married, if I don't marry Miss Wen, Tianye City will fall into an embarrassing situation, Lord Wen is the Shangshu of Jinguo, this marriage was ordered by the emperor himself, and I can't help it!" The man looked helpless.

"So then, you will marry you, and I will go my way, and I will owe no one anything. Zong Yan broke free from his embrace and stood up.

"Don't you miss our affection?" the man said, with a hurt expression.

"Zhuang Bufan, remember our old love, so don't get entangled anymore, okay?" Zong Yan was a little angry.

"You gave up on me because of that little white face just now, right?" Zhuang Bufan looked gloomy: "He's just an ant, he wants to rob people with me, and he doesn't look at himself!

Zong Yan looked at his departing back sadly, and actually shed two lines of tears.

Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the post station and had dinner again, it was already dark, she was a little impatient to wait, and thought of the sincerity of the son's face in the afternoon, and couldn't bear to disappoint him, so she went out again.

When I arrived at Jiao'e Courtyard, I found that the appearance of day and night was really different. The hall here was full of people and a little noisy, she frowned, and just wanted to turn around and go out, a white boy said, "Is it Mu Gongzi?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded: "I am." ”

"Zong Gongzi is invited, please come with me. With that, he turned and went upstairs.

Mu Xiaoxiao followed, went upstairs to the door of the room with the window open during the day, knocked on the door, and the voice of Zong Yan came from inside: "Come in." ”

The boy stood at the door, and Mu Xiao pushed the door in.

The furnishings in the house are very tasteful, calligraphy and painting, the guqin is not lacking, Zong Yan is painting on the bookcase, Mu Xiaoxiao came closer to see, it is a rabbit, although it is black and white, but it is vivid, very cute. She couldn't help but admire: "It's so cute." ”

Zong Yan smiled: "I have nothing to do, I just like to draw something useless." After saying that, he put down the pen and blew the ink on the paper.

"Drawing is a very elegant thing, and I have always been envious of people who can draw well. Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the painting and looked at it carefully.

Zong Yan looked sideways, although this child is not from this city, but he seems to be ignorant of the world, although he is a little stupid, but his heart is not bad, perhaps, let him take him away is something that can be done. Thinking of this, Zong Yan said, "Mu Gongzi, can you help me next tonight?"

"I can help, just say!" Mu Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at him.

"Tonight is a triennial redemption meeting, which is about poetry, but in fact, it is still based on the level of money. I've been waiting here for three years, and I've finally waited for it, I thought I would be able to leave here tonight, but I didn't think something would happen, I could only be trapped here. As he spoke, Zong Yan actually knelt down on his knees.

"Don't do that!" Mu Xiaoxiao supported his arms with both hands: "Childe has something to say, I can help!"

"Wait a while, if someone bids for someone, please buy me!"

"But、、、、、" Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "I don't have any money." She said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter. Zong Yan took out a dozen silver tickets from a box: "This is a silver ticket of five thousand taels, you take it." He shoved it into her hand.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a look of antiquation, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded.

There was a boiling below, Mu Xiaoxiao quickly ran downstairs, took a sign with the name of Zong Yan written on it, and said loudly: "I'll buy Zong Yan! How much does it cost him to take a picture?"

"Zong Gongzi 、、、" A man with a long beard looked at the record tired: "Now the bid is two thousand taels, you go over there to bid." He gestured to the left-hand side.

Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly squeezed over and participated in the auction, from two thousand taels to four thousand taels to four thousand two hundred taels, and finally Mu Xiaoxiao lived up to his mission and won the risk. She jumped for joy.

Upstairs in a windowless room on the left, Gao Zhao was sitting on a chair looking at an account book, Rong Qing didn't know what was being written, and he was standing on the side without heart and carefree and excellence.

"The second son of the Zhuang family is the most capable in Tianye City, and the eldest son of the Zhuang family doesn't care about power at all, he has no ambition. In a corner, there was also a man, slender and handsome, although he was also dressed in white gauze, but his temperament was completely different from that of Zong Yan.

Several people were discussing, and suddenly heard a commotion downstairs, Gao Zhao vaguely seemed to hear a very familiar voice, he took the opportunity to listen, and sure enough, in the noisy voice, he heard a familiar voice: "I won, haha, I really won." ”

Gao Zhao stood up with a "whew", Rong Qing and the man were startled, Rong Qing put down the pen: "What's wrong?"

"Ye Ziluo, what are you doing here tonight?" he asked.

"On the day of redemption, if there are good people, you will be set free tonight. Ye Ziluo looked curious: "You never cared about this, this is?"

"There's a fool here who knows from this palace!" After speaking, he looked at Rong Qing.

Rong Qing didn't seem to react, and suddenly, he stood up, turned around and went to open the door.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry, now you go down, you will expose yourselves. Ye Ziluo stopped.

"Ziluo, you go with excellence. Gao Zhao glanced at Zhuo Zhuo: "Send her to the post station for me." With that, he flew out of the back window.

Rong Qing got up slowly, walked in front of Ye Ziluo and said, "Please take care of Brother Ye more, that kid doesn't know the height of the sky, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." ”

Ye Ziluo smiled: "Don't worry, not a single hair will be sent back to you." ”
