The New Year's festival in the sixth year of Lixin, and did not cool down because the Son of Heaven said that he was sick, especially the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival for three consecutive days, and even set up a row of five huge dragon and phoenix lampposts in front of the Suzaku Gate, the Queen Mother and many clansmen set up a banquet in the imperial city gatehouse, so that the musicians in the palace and the artists of Fanbang performed in the square outside the city, in order to show that they were happy with the people, and it attracted the crowd of people to sing and praise, and the grand occasion was more enthusiastic than in previous years.

Entering February, Chang'an City seems to have resumed the daily life of oil, salt, firewood and rice from the New Year's festival and joy, but the new science and technology provincial test followed by a lively scene, because of the old year Wannian County trial dance turmoil, the Queen Mother ordered the solemn trial, after a lot of people with various eyes to promote the momentum, so that this New Year's spring test attracted the attention of the public, the poems sung in the market, many of them are the theme of praising the Queen Mother's benevolence, and for the current branch of the head of the flower, it is Xue Liulang who has no accident to win the three yuan, or there is a "dark horse" to win the championship, It has attracted heated discussions and increased attention.

But for Xiao Xiaojiu, this year's New Year has been extremely depressed.

Eleven Niang did not stay at home to accompany Ting on the Shangyuan Festival, because she was invited by the Queen Mother, she had to enter the palace and feast, but it can be regarded as completely cutting off Xiao Xiaojiu's expectation of traveling with Eleven Sister to the Lantern Festival, in fact, throughout the first month, Xiao Jiu was ordered to close the door by the elders in the family, and it was not until February that Xiao Xingzhen was finally forced by the pressure of his mother Mrs. Dong to allow Xiao Jiu to continue to "stay" at his sister-in-law's house to avoid the risk of the pearl being dusty.

From Liu Xiaojiu's mouth, Xiao Xiaojiu inquired that Eleven Niang was not on duty, but after the first month, he went to Shangqingguan, Xiao Xiaojiu immediately sent a child servant to Shangqingguan to send a letter - Chang'an's five sons are now down, and there will be no one who will miss high school, but if they wait until the unveiling of the list, the gathering of the same year and the Qujiang banquet held in the palace are continuous, and Xiao Xiaojiu, who was ordered not to join in the fun, has no chance to participate at all, so he had to negotiate with the eleventh sister that there is no need to wait for the unveiling of the list, and the exam will be held in three days, and he will be the east and congratulate Wuzi High School in advance.

However, when the boy servant who delivered the letter returned, he said that he had not seen Eleven Niang, but only handed over the letter to the servant of Shangqingguan, and waited for a long time and did not hear back.

Xiao Xiaojiu suddenly became anxious, and without saying a word, he wanted to go to Shangqing Guan to meet Eleven Niang in person to discuss.

But not only did the child servants stop him, but even the nurse didn't allow Xiao Xiaojiu to go out.

"Lord Lang told me a thousand times that Xiao Langjun was not allowed to go out, in case the villain plotted ......"

Xiao Xiaojiu was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Could it be that in order to prevent the villain from plotting, I won't even be able to go out of the door in the future?" Where is this kind of grass and trees, before Mrs. Tai and her aunt just told them to be more vigilant, go out with more people, don't bow with people, and I just go up to Qingguan, it belongs to the inner Guo important land, and there are not a few markets, how dare Lu Rui? ”

However, no matter how much Xiao Xiaojiu made a fuss, the nurse insisted that she could not disobey Lord Lang's order, so angry that Xiao Xiaojiu slammed the door and fell on the couch, and her two fists almost didn't break through the couch.

"Mother, in case Jiulang knows that I didn't send the letter to Shangqing Guan......" Outside the house, the child servant looked uneasy and asked his mother for advice.

The nurse sighed: "I really can't hide it, so I have to tell Xiao Langjun that this is all Lord Lang's order, and the intention is to let Xiao Langjun concentrate on his studies." ”

It turned out that Xiao Xingzhen was the nurse who deliberately told her son to take care of the big and small affairs, and in the future, she was wary of Xiao Jiu getting close to Eleven Niang again, and she was not even allowed to go to Shangqingguan again.

Although the nurse is loyal, but there is a slightly older long-term follower, quite good at pleasing the drill camp, usually see the little master closer to the nurse mother and son, as well as the child servants of similar age, but he is quite estranged, the heart has long been unwilling, this day to see the little master and the nurse are unhappy, usually at the opportunity to surround Xiao Jiu around the flattering and flattering child servant at this time did not dare to come forward to ask for no fun, this long Sui only felt that the opportunity was rare, two eyes slipped, and then volunteered to persuade Xiao Jiu.

"If Xiao Langjun really just wants to go to Shangqing Temple, he is not worried that there will be danger, the villain would rather take the responsibility of being punished afterwards and go out to help Xiao Langjun once." Chang Sui saw that the little master sat up with a carp, swept away his annoyance and frustration, and knew that he had hit the nail on the head this time, so he made a plan: "As long as Xiao Langjun condescends and changes into the clothes worn by the servants, he can get out of the house with the villain." ”

Xiao Jiulang came to be really aggrieved, and he hadn't seen Eleven Niang for a long time, where could he bear it after hearing this, so he obeyed, but because of the use of the carriage and horse either Xiao Jiu came forward in person, or the nurse delivered the token, it was impossible to rely on the long follow, Xiao Jiu was confused, of course, it was impossible to use the car and horse to "throw himself into the net", but although Chongren Fang and Yongxing Fang were adjacent, it would take more than half an hour to walk to Shangqingguan, and the long follower was not only to please the little master, of course, it was necessary to be comprehensive, where would the little master suffer, So I came up with another idea.

"The villain has a familiar acquaintance, but he happens to run a mule cart rental, Xiao Langjun is not waiting at the wine shop at the intersection, and the villain goes to find him."

Xiao Jiu has always been informal, and he also wants to see Eleven Niang, and he is impatient to walk, if the nursing mother finds out that he is missing, will it be useless to send someone to recover him? It's to obey once again.

However, Chang Sui's "acquaintance" was met by chance a few months ago, and he was invited to go to a wine shop and gambling house a few times, but he was just a friend of wine and meat, and he was usually just peddling business outside a gambling house in Chongrenfang, and Chang Sui actually didn't know the details of this person at all.

He also said that on this day, Liu Yan happened to take a break, and was at home with his pregnant wife Xue Hui gossiping, while teasing his toddler daughter, he was so happy that he saw his aunt Xiao Shi entering with an impatient face.

"Xiao Jiu's child, I really don't feel at ease, I went out of the house quietly, only brought a half-old long entourage to follow, I should have gone to Shangqingguan, I couldn't leave for a while, and I didn't feel at ease when I asked the servants to find it, and I asked San Lang to go on this trip, it doesn't matter if he really went to Shangqingguan, just leave someone to take care of him and come back next day."

Liu Yan naturally didn't shirk it, but he didn't take it to heart, just comforted Xiao: "Aunt rest assured, Xiao Jiu must go to see the eleventh sister, Shangqingguan is located on the bank of the imperial city, and it is just the next place, when there will be no accidents, I also have leisure today, and I will accompany Xiao Jiu back next day." ”

However, when Liu Yan arrived at Shangqingguan, Eleven Niang greeted him alone and asked with a surprised face, "Why did San Lang come here", Liu Yan knew that something was wrong, and said what he meant in a few words, hit his palm with a fist, and stomped his foot fiercely without anxiety: "Xiao Jiu said earlier that he wanted to come to Shangqingguan, but was stopped by his nurse, and only found that he was missing at lunchtime, and he couldn't find it all over, so he must have secretly run out, but if he didn't come to see Eleven Sister, where did he go?" ”

"Although Brother Jiu is willful, he will not disobey his elders because of playfulness, so he should not have gone elsewhere." Although Eleven Niang's face was also solemn, she was not very anxious: "It seems that Lu Rui finally got the opportunity to start." ”

These words were like a fire trigger, which completely "exploded" Liu Yan: "In this way, it is very likely that he was taken away by Lu Rui?" He was so bold, and he was in Dongcheng in broad daylight, and he was actually taken captive! Thinking that if it was really as Eleven Niang speculated, Lu Rui would definitely not let go of Xiao Jiu, and Liu Yan was even more anxious like an ant in a hot pot: "What should I do now?" ”

"I expected that Baimi would be sparse, and with Xiao Jiu's temperament, where would I be able to endure it for a long time." Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows slightly and instructed Binu: "Go and invite Uncle Bai." ”

This day happened to be the beginning of the provincial examination, He Zhan was not in Shangqingguan because of the exam, so Eleven Niang had to personally command the battle, and after Bai Yu followed Binu, she first confessed: "Ask Lu Rui where he is now, and control it immediately." ”

Seeing that Liu Yan was dumbfounded, Eleven Niang explained: "I expected that Lu Rui would not give up, and the precaution was only for a while, so I entrusted Shishilang to arrange for Uncle Bai to arrange for Lu Rui to keep an eye on Lu Rui, and it must not be Lu Rui's expectation that Xiao Jiu would go out today, even if he wanted to kill and retaliate, it would not be in time, otherwise before San Lang came to Shangqingguan, I had already received the news." Therefore, as long as we have Lu Rui in hand, we are not afraid of forcing Xiao Jiu to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Jiu, but at this time, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and I need San Lang's assistance next. ”

Liu Yan only breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "Fortunately, you have already made arrangements, I hope it is still too late." ”

"Yi Lu Rui's eyes will be repaid, even if it is harmful to people's hearts, he should be humiliated in person or even do it himself......" Eleven Niang had just finished saying this, but she was shocked by another guess that suddenly popped up in her heart, and almost lost her voice: "It's not good, I neglected one thing......"
