Gongs, drums and firecrackers sound in unison, and the dark night sky is full of debut fire trees and silver flowers.

In Kyoto, even though it is the third day of the Lunar New Year, the smell of the New Year is still strong, and the streets are lined with brand-new red lanterns, and the sound of festive music and the sound of people are intoxicated by the strong sense of the New Year.

Nie Yun followed behind Han Yue step by step, her face was a little bitter, she didn't know why her senior sister seemed to be in a bad mood, even if it was such a lively gathering, she didn't even look at it, and walked straight towards the address given by Xiao Xue.

Could it be that Master left too early? Nie Yun couldn't help but secretly think. It's not right, the master left on the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, and I didn't see my sister unhappy.

What's more, the senior sister is not unhappy after the master leaves, it seems to be... Nie Yun tilted his head and thought about it.

Well... That's it on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then no matter how much she behaves and teases, she doesn't see her sister's mood improve, and she even faintly becomes a little more depressed.

Although the senior sister smiled reluctantly in order not to worry him, how could she hide it from herself, and wanted to go up and ask, but the senior sister said that there was nothing wrong...

No, the second master left, and Nie Yun No. 3 directly passed the Wanli Transmission note and planned to come over to "ask for help" Xiao Xue, counting on Xiao Xue, a good girlfriend, to persuade or inquire about something... And so there was such a scene.

Kyoto is worthy of being the largest and most prosperous city in the whole Daqian, but it is only an outer city area that is a few points larger than the entire Yishui City, and the degree of prosperity is even more incomparable.

The inner city of Kyoto is a little less smoky than the outer city, but the interior decoration is more high-end and elegant, and although the red lanterns hanging on the street are also brand-new, you can tell that the red lanterns are worth a lot of money by looking at their smooth and supple materials.

The sons and ladies of each family stand everywhere in twos and threes, or enjoy the scenery or put on the lights, less than the scene of rubbing shoulders outside the city, although it is a little more elegant, but it also seems a little lonely.

There were also obviously more officials in the inner city than in the outer city, and there were two or three armed officials in almost every street to maintain law and order, not only to prevent people in the inner city from drinking too much, but also to prevent South Vietnam or some reactionary forces in the country from committing suicide in the inner city to create chaos.

After all, the people living in the inner city are either dignitaries or relatives of the emperor, and if there are dead and injured people here, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole Daqian is shaking three times.

And for Xiao Xue's family living in the inner city of Kyoto, neither of them was surprised at all, after all, Xiao Xue was the eldest lady who could use the spirit rune as paper before entering the university hall, and how rich her family background was, it was still a mystery to Nie Yun.

I only know that this eldest lady has never been short of money in the university hall.

After walking along Suzaku Street for more than half an hour, when they were almost about to reach the towering buildings of the city within a city, the footsteps of the two slowly stopped, looking around, looking for the house with the plaque of "Xiao Mansion".

"You two, what are you doing?" The two of them looked around and soon attracted the attention of a sword-wielding officer, who immediately frowned and asked.

Although the man of these two is handsome and the woman is elegant, no matter how you look like a so-called "terrorist", this is almost on the sole of the emperor's feet, and look at what mansions are around? At the very least, it's the family house of the three-grade master!

As a servant in the inner city, not to mention knowing all the large and small families in the mansion, but the sons and ladies of all sizes, especially those in the area at the foot of the Forbidden City, do not say that they should be remembered, but at least they must have the most basic image.

And these two are obviously not the faces of the family, and they are still looking around under the Forbidden City, if they are not checked, it will be a dereliction of duty, after all, who knows if you are observing where the guards are not strict, so as to secretly write down and cause sabotage?

"Me?"

Nie Yun looked at the officer with the knife and pointed at himself a little confused.

"That's right, it's just the two of you." The official with the knife walked over and confirmed again, "Who are you, what are you doing here?" ”

"Oh... Oh, we are students of Yuelu Academy, and we came to find our classmates. Nie Yun reacted, and he didn't embarrass others, and immediately took out an identity talisman of Yuelu University Hall and handed it to the officials.

After hearing Yuelu Academy, the official with the knife had obviously improved his attitude, and his right hand, which had been placed on the handle of the knife, quietly let go, stretched out his hands to take the talisman and carefully inspect it, and then handed it back with both hands and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a student of Yuelu, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

This is the influence of Yuelu University Hall! Even if it is just a piece of student identification, it can dispel all doubts.

Because everyone knows that although a large part of the students who come out of the university hall are not happy to join the army and politics, or just after realizing their ambitions through a short military and political career, they wander and do penance. But as long as you work diligently in the military and political system, it depends too much on the appreciation of today's saints, but the three grades are almost certain!

"I wonder what is the name or surname of the classmate you are looking for?" The official with the knife patted his chest and said: "I don't dare to say anything else, but the location of this inner city mansion is still clear, and I may be able to help Your Excellency." ”

Nie Yun showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and said with a smile: "My classmate's surname is Xiao, it should be in the Xiao Mansion." ”

"Xiao Mansion..."The corners of the sword's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a look of embarrassment in his eyes: "This..."

"Uh... What's wrong? Nie Yun scratched his head in confusion.

“... The surname Xiao is the surname of the country, after the founding of the country, many Xiao clans were divided into princes, this Xiao Mansion... That's too much. The official was a little helpless, and wanted to sell it to this university student by the way, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome, but he said all the words of help, so he had to continue: "Dare to ask Your Excellency that classmate's surname?" ”

"Xiao Xue, it's the snow in the sky." Nie Yun said with some embarrassment, he was negligent for a while, forgetting that the surname Xiao is the surname of the country, not to mention that the streets are all over the streets in this inner city, but it is definitely a lot, fortunately, he asked this official here in advance, otherwise if he came to the door one by one... Just thinking about Nie Yun was embarrassed.

"Xiao Xue?" The official muttered softly, his brows furrowed slightly, and in his impression, it seemed that no prince of any family had such a daughter named Xiao Xue, and she was also the daughter who entered the university hall of Yuelu Academy.

If he didn't know that the two university students in front of him didn't need to lie to him at all, he couldn't help but wonder if Nie Yun was teasing him... But now, he can only wonder if his professionalism is not enough and he missed the daughter of a prince's family...

Is it an illegitimate daughter? The official couldn't help but think, it's not very like, if the illegitimate daughter can live in the main house of the inner city in a grand manner, and even invite three or five friends to get together, how kind the housewife is...

After pondering for a moment with a slight headache, just as the official was about to clench his fists and say sorry, a crisp and pleasant voice came slowly, and his whole body stiffened slightly.

"Xiaoyunzi, you are so stupid! You can ask me directly with the Wanli Transmission note, if you have to trouble people here. Xiao Xue, who was dressed in a fiery red jacket, did not look bulky, but gave people a feeling of lightness, and ran towards Nie Yun and the others with a jump, the fiery red skirt and the white snow on the street set off each other, like a fire spirit dancing in the snow.

"Hee-hee, it's still Yueyue smart." Xiao Xue turned her head and grabbed Han Yue's slender arm and leaned her head up affectionately.

Han Yue silently withdrew the emerald jade talisman in her palm, and the corners of her ruddy mouth were slightly hooked: "It's hard to really count on him." ”

"Then how can you say that you are a senior sister?" Looking at the rare smile on Senior Sister's face, Nie Yun also smiled, turned his head to look at the somewhat stiff servant, and showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't think much about it, hugged his fists slightly and said, "Then don't bother Big Brother." ”

"Remember to add a few extra clothes when it's cold." Nie Yun couldn't help but add again.

And the official seemed to wake up from a dream, the whole person was slightly shocked, his eyes showed a look of understanding, and he was about to salute subconsciously, but as soon as he bowed halfway through his body, he saw a slender white jade palm swaying rapidly.

"Big brother, what are you doing here? ... I can't help it. Nie Yun was stunned, and then jumped back suddenly, what's the matter, why do you look like you're going to kneel, didn't you just help me, as for blaming yourself so much...

The half-bent figure with the knife froze again, raised his head slightly, met a pair of beautiful eyes that kept blinking, slowly bent down completely in his heart, wiped the snow on the upper of his shoes, raised his eyes and glanced at Nie Yun and said lightly: "I just wiped my shoes, what do you think I am going to do?" ”

"Uh... It's nothing. Nie Yun scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Big brother, you continue..."

"Now that you've found your classmates, I'll continue to patrol." The servant glanced at Nie Yun faintly, and the enthusiasm just now had long since disappeared.

"Whew..."Glancing at Xiao Xue's quietly raised thumb, the servant breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked towards the opposite street with a slight turn, his right hand was on the handle of the knife again, and the corner of his eye stared at Xiao Xue's vicinity.

"I can't imagine that the officials in Kyoto are so enthusiastic." Nie Yun watched the officer with the knife put his right hand on the handle of the knife again, and the silhouette of meticulously patrolling the street sighed slightly: "I didn't even leave my name when I did a good job, eh... After all, am I too narrow-minded..."

"Hahaha, that's why you're the 'little' Yunzi." Xiao Xue suddenly burst out laughing, and Han Yue next to her laughter was a little stunned, as if there was something particularly interesting that she didn't know?

"Okay, let's go, take you to my house to have a look." Xiao Xue laughed enough, turned around and picked up Han Yue, while Nie Yun followed behind like a follower.

The sky in the capital always comes as it is said, and the fine snowflakes fall leisurely at some point, and the three people walking together can't help but speed up their pace slightly, until the figure gradually disappears in the vast white and disappears.
