The twilight will be dark, and the Shenque Street will be lit up with stars. The weeping willows by the river stumbled and smoky in the wind, compared to the noisy night market on the embankment, it was silent. Suddenly, I heard a few goose cries gradually becoming clear from far and near.

Zhang Yihe drove his eight geese, melodious, admiring the twilight of Shengjing, the tranquility and indifference that only the world of Chengping can have.

At the gate of the Song Mansion at this time, Song Zhouli looked at Song Xiao and wanted to explain something, but the person in front of him couldn't listen to anything, he smiled dumbly, and finally said to the little girl who followed her: "Come back when the purchase is over, don't let the girl walk around." ”

"Yes."

Song Xiao was excited, this time she was really involved in the affairs of the house, she waved at Song Zhouli who was still standing at the door: "Brother, don't worry, I will complete this purchase perfectly." ”

Seeing a group of people out of sight, he turned around and went back, sighing helplessly.

Song Xiao looked at the four little guys behind her, her eyes rolled "grunt", these four people suddenly felt bad, I don't know what this ancestor is also thinking.

Really!

Song Xiao assigned tasks to the four of them: "Ah Shan went to the cloth shop to buy cloth, Ah Cao went to the restaurant to get the meal ordered by his brother, Ah Shui went to the bookstore to buy the scriptures listed by his brother, and Ah Tu went to the horse market to buy horses." ”

She paused: "As for me, Xiaoxing and I are waiting for you here at the night market." ”

The four of them looked at each other, knowing that she was playful, and they were afraid that they would not stop if they didn't visit the night market, so they had to say, "This ...... The son-in-law had to leave someone to protect you, otherwise it would be difficult for the head of the family to explain. ”

Song Xiao thought about it and felt that it was too: "Then Ah Shui stay, Ah Shan and Ah Tu will buy it together." ”

Hearing her say this, the four of them were relieved, after all, Ah Shui had the best skills: "Yes." ”

Many vendors on the side of Shenque Street began to sell, and Song Xiao took Xiaoxing to walk around one by one, and after a while, the two people behind her were full of things.

Xiao Xing and Ah Shui glanced at each other, nodded, and the two looked at Song Xiao, who was still interested, and said synchronously: "Son-in-law, son-in-law, you have a kind heart, rest." ”

Hearing this, Song Xiao turned her head to look at the two, Xiao Xing was holding a pastry in her left hand and a calligraphy and painting in her right hand; And Ah Shui is not much better, and he still has a grimace mask around his neck, which looks very funny.

"Rest, I'm getting carried away." Her tone was cheerful, and it was not angry.

If you can't see it, you don't want to think about it, Ah Shui looked at the embankment in the distance, and said to Song Xiao: "Girl, why don't we go over there and rest." ”

Song Xiao followed his gaze and looked over, and the last bit of afterglow was applied to the embankment, and the golden light was beautiful, which was a good scene.

"That's it, wait for Ah Shan and the others to come to us and we'll go home."

By the time the three of them reached the embankment, the sunset had receded to the surface of the river, and there was no one on the water.

Song Xiao looked into the distance, the water and the sky were the same, and they were magnificent, but there seemed to be something on the riverbank, and she squinted her eyes to see.

"Ah Shui, do you see if there is something moving on the shore?"

Hearing her words, Ah Shui was immediately alert, he looked over, pressed the short knife on his waist with his right hand, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it clearly: "Back to the girl, it's a little goose." ”

Song Xiao was a little surprised: "Little goose! Ah Shui, you help me get it. ”

Ah Shui did not hesitate, he took three steps and two steps, went down the embankment, and soon came back with the little goose. Song Xiao took it and held the trembling goose in her arms, she said angrily: "Ah Shui, you are a little scared of it." ”

The goose is snow-white, but a small bell is tied around its long curvy neck, indicating that it is domestic.

Song Xiao dialed the bell on its neck, the bell was crisp, and her tone was regretful: "Originally, I wanted to raise you, but there is no way, you have a master." But your master is really here, and he left you here. ”

The little goose Xu deeply sympathized with her words, and suddenly "goose goose" crowed twice. Its owner had just been on the shore and was singing poetry, but it had gone a little farther, and when he turned back, the man and the other seven geese were gone, and the geese were speechless: they had all told him to raise less, and now he didn't know if he had lost one.

Ah Shui frowned when he heard Song Xiao's words, if he remembered correctly, there was only one person in the capital who was interested in keeping geese as pets, and there was only one person in the deputy capital, Zhang Yihe, and the pet theory between him and the emperor in the Ming Hall had been widely publicized in Beijing. It's just that the geese in the capital are all clothed and cold, and they still have to rely on their skin and flesh to survive.

"Girl, this may be Lord Zhang's goose."

Song Xiao was a little impressed by this person, she looked down at the goose in her arms: "Then what should I do?" I heard that he loves his goose very much, so he should come back to find it, right? ”

Xiao Xing looked at the sky: "You might as well wait, if Ah Shan and the others come over, the adult hasn't come yet, we will go to the mansion tomorrow and send it over, and the head of the family will have a way." ”

Song Xiao nodded: "Then let's wait." ”

Little by little, the golden crow was about to sink into the water in the distance, Xiao Xing's sharp eyes saw a candle floating from a distance, she reminded: "Girl, Ah Shui, could that be Lord Zhang?" ”

They also looked over, and the light gradually brightened, and in the faint light of the candle, a man could be faintly seen.

Ah Shui said loudly to the people below: "The person who came is Deputy Du Yushi?" ”

There was no sound for a while, and just as Ah Shui was about to speak again, a warm male voice came: "Exactly." ”

Zhang Yihe couldn't see the people on the embankment clearly, and suddenly heard a female voice again, softly: "Lord Zhang, your little goose is here." The goose in her arms also quacked cooperatively.

Zhang Yihe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he straightened his robe, he was in a hurry, thinking that his clothes were not neat at this time, he walked towards the embankment, and only after approaching did he see the three of them clearly, and the three of their masters and servants also saw clearly this champion who had caused an uproar in Beijing.

Zhang Aihe was wearing a blue-gray robe, with a crown of jade on his head, he carried a lantern to see the little goose in Song Xiao's arms, the candlelight was reflected on her face, Zhang Aihe confirmed that it was his goose, and raised his eyes to look at her, a little face without powder, like black eyes bright as a star.

And Song Xiao also looked at him, looking at his lost joy in his eyes, the people rumored that the new champion was like a plum in the cold winter, not to be blasphemous, not to be approached.

But the rumors are not true, this person is really handsome, his face is like a crown of jade, and he seems to be not a person in the world.

Song Xiao put the goose on the ground, and the goose wagged its tail and walked to Zhang Zhihe's side.

Zhang Zhihe saluted Song Xiao: "Thank you girl, I don't know whose family the girl is, Zhang will come to the door to thank you one day." ”

Song Xiao hurriedly did the same, he was an official of the imperial court, and he gave her a salute, which was too tormenting for her.

"My lord's words are serious, the people's daughter belongs to the Song family in the east of the city."

Zhang Yihe looked at her again and said tentatively: "I don't know that Song Zhongcheng is a girl?" ”

"It's the daughter of the people."

While they were talking, another voice shouted, "Girl! "It's Ahsan and Ahcao.

Song Xiao bowed to him again: "My brother sent someone to look for him, and the girl retired first." ”

Zhang Yihe nodded wordlessly, watching the girl turn around and get into the carriage, he squatted down and held the goose in his arms, but felt a dark fragrance, his eyes sank, and he hesitated to lower his head and sniff, it was the fragrance of the girl.

"Let's go, it seems that you have to go to the Song Mansion with me another day."

……

Song House.

Song Zhouli looked at her sister and the two people behind her and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Song Xiao blinked innocently, stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother, don't be angry, I went to do good deeds with Xiaoxing and Ah Shui, and it's too late to come back." ”

"Oh? What good have you done? Song Zhouli smiled on his face.

"We picked up the goose and gave it back to him."

Hearing this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, Zhuangyuanlang, goose, it's Zhang Sickhe.

Song Xiao saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and asked, "What's wrong, brother?" ”

He said in a rare light: "It's okay, don't get too close to him in the future." ”
