"Shaodong, our family's tea mountains are all on Qingcheng Mountain, more than 20 miles outside Jinguan City. The distance is not far, but the road is difficult to walk after approaching the mountains and forests, so it is better for us to ride a horse this time, which is more convenient. I'll take care of you. ”

Thinking of Shen's shopkeeper's explanation yesterday, Su Zijin was ready to go alone early this morning, vanilla and they looked weak, Su Zijin was impatient to go out and take care of others, so he took his Xiaobai and prepared to go out of the city to meet Shen's shopkeeper.

"Miss, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, why don't you let me follow you?"

At the gate of Changfu, Zhang Long looked at Su Zijin, who was leading the horse alone, and hurriedly stopped and said.

Su Zijin thought for a while, "Escort Zhang will stay in the city and let the monkey come and go with me." ”

Su Zijin opened his mouth to make Zhang Long a little stunned, and then arrived, "Wait a minute, I'll let the monkey change his clothes and come over." ”

Su Zijin saw that Zhang Long understood what he meant, and deliberately asked the monkey to change his clothes, so he immediately smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the door." ”

The monkey's surname is Hou, and he is an outlier among the Su family's guards. Guards are also the face of a family, so when choosing guards in Beijing, tall and strong people are preferred, and people can know that they can't be provoked just by looking at their bodies. But the monkey is just like his nickname, not only is he unusually slender, but also not tall, he usually stands without bones, and when there is a disturbance, he is unusually alert. If it is in the army, it is a rare scout material, this time Su Zijin came to Jinguan City, and among the carefully selected guards of the Su Mansion, in addition to the leading Zhang Long, the monkey was the second to be selected.

Su Zijin, who was bored waiting for someone, was at the gate of Changfu, but heard some movement. At this time, it was just dawn, and there was only a lantern lit in front of the Changfu Gate, and there was a yawning gatekeeper, who was moving early in the morning?

Su Zijin looked for prestige, it turned out to be the east-west road at the gate of Changfu, came from the west to ride, wearing a snow-white brocade robe in the hazy sky, embroidered with silver bamboo leaf patterns, although he couldn't see his face clearly, he only knew that he was a scholar and a weak son.

Su Zijin glanced at it and didn't pay too much attention.

But the one who stopped at the house next to Changfu, at the door of the Xue family, at the door of this person's stable stall, the side door of the Xue family creaked open, and walked out of the Xue family miss and a man I saw yesterday, it should be the Xue family brothers and sisters.

Xue Baozhu was originally glanced at by Su Zijin on the side with an expectant and shy expression, and the two smiled awkwardly.

Su Zijin swore that she was not curious about gossip, it was purely instinctive, and glanced at the place where the voice came from, who knew that it was just right against Miss Xue.

Today, Miss Xue is wearing a begonia red jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt, bright and delicate, fifteen or sixteen years old like a flower and bones, with the shyness of a girl, people can't take their eyes off it, at least the eyes of the handsome boy have always been on Xue Baozhu's body.

Su Zijin smiled politely and was about to look away. She has been busy reading the account books at Chang's house these days, and she has not officially visited anyone, so it is inconvenient to say hello. Besides, people made it clear that they didn't want to go out with great fanfare, so they still didn't go up to talk and say hello. Su Zijin thought he was considerate, but who knew that it was Miss Xue who walked towards Su Zijin generously.

"Sister Zijin also went to the city to offer incense?"

Su Zijin couldn't pretend that he didn't see it, so he simply turned around and faced the few people in front of him.

"Miss Xue morning, I'm going to inspect the tea garden outside the city in a while."

Xue Baozhu looked interested, "Sister Zijin can call me Baozhu, although our two families have no kinship, they have been neighbors for many years and are very close." ”

Saying that, he walked over a little more and stood in front of Su Zijin, "I didn't expect that Sister Zijin could run the family business at such a young age, it's really amazing." Unlike me, when I'm so old, I can only embroider at home, and I even have to be accompanied by my brother when I go out of the city to incense. ”

"Big brother, this is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Chang family, Miss Su Zijin Su. Miss Su, this is my eldest brother Xue Zhaofeng, that is my eldest brother's classmate, a student of Qingcheng Academy, Wang Chujun, Wang Gongzi. ”

When it came to Wang Chujun, Xue Baozhu's voice was obviously a lot shy, and after looking at Wang Gongzi, he staggered away and looked at Su Zijin on the side.

Miss Xue said hello simply and warmly, and Su Zijin deserved to greet the two patiently. Fortunately, none of the three of them had the nature of Miss Baozhu's conversation, so they only nodded lightly and saw it.

"Miss, Zhang Tou'er said you were looking for me."

Hou Yi suddenly appeared, relieving Su Zijin's embarrassment, Su Zijin immediately nodded, "Yes, I made an appointment with Shopkeeper Shen to go to the tea garden outside the city today, and you come with me." ”

Su Zijin looked at Xue Baozhu, who was staring at him with wide eyes, "Miss Baozhu, I still have something to do, let's go first." ”

Su Zijin took Hou Yi to turn over and get on the horse, and couldn't wait to leave.

Xue Zhaofeng looked at the two who left in a hurry, and looked back at his sister who was a little lost, "Miss Su has to run for the family business, and she is not a person with us, let's go." ”

"Big brother, don't say that," Xue Baozhu pouted, "Sister Zijin is still so young, she has to take on the family business, we can't compare." ”

"Baozhu always puts himself in the shoes of others." Wang Chujun on the side looked at Xue Baozhu and said.

Xue Baozhu's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head, "No, it's just that I feel a little distressed about Sister Zijin." ”

Xue Zhaofeng pouted, "The Chang family is a businessman, and the heirs are thin, this is Su Zijin's life, and my sister doesn't need to worry about it." Let's go, if you're late, you won't be able to catch up with the first incense injection of the month, don't you still have to pray for your mother? ”

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot, big brother, let's go quickly, the city gate will open in a while, we must be the first to go out of the city!"

Xue Baozhu looked annoyed, hurriedly walked to the carriage, Xue Zhaofeng helped his sister into the carriage, and then accompanied his classmate Wang Chujun to the carriage and went in the direction of the outside of the city.

Su Zijin didn't know that in the eyes of his neighbors, he was a pitiful little who supported the family business alone and came out to run around at a young age, but took Hou Yi and galloped all the way, and after arriving at the South City Gate, he waited to go out of the city and meet with the shopkeeper Shen outside the city.

"What's Miss's plan?"

Hou Yi was told by Zhang Long to be cautious, and he probably knew in his heart that Miss let her come here today on purpose, so she took advantage of the waiting time to ask Su Zijin about his plans.

Su Zijin shook his head and said lightly, "We are new here, what can we do?" It's just going with the flow and pushing the boat with the flow. ”

Hou Yi nodded, "I know, Miss." ”

The two men did not wait long until the gates of the city were opened, and they followed the men who got up early in the morning to make a living, and led their horses out of the city.

Before it was his turn, he heard Xue Zhaofeng coming on horseback, "Open the city gate, we have to go out of the city." ”

I saw that next to the city gate where Su Zijin was queuing, the city gate that was not easily opened was slowly opened for the Xue family's carriage to leave the city.

Xue Baozhu was lying on the carriage window, lifting the curtain to look at the people queuing up next to him, until he saw Su Zijin, he waved his hand excitedly, and then followed the Xue family's carriage and disappeared into the doorway.

The city gate closed with the disappearance of the Xue family, and everyone in the queue where Su Zijin was located turned a blind eye, not feeling unfair, but taking it for granted.

Su Zijin faintly heard the words "county guard" floating, Hou Yi's eyes were bright, and when he heard the discussion, he sneered disdainfully, "In the end, the emperor is far away, a county guard, the posture is really big, and it is a special city gate for eight hundred miles of urgency." ”

Su Zijin glanced at Hou Yi, and Hou Yi was immediately silenced.
