Xu is not far away for a long time, I wish Xingchun a very good mood, all the way to the carriage, did not encounter any setbacks, about a month, to the hometown of Yangzhou City, where she was born and raised.

At this moment, she was doing needlework on the boat, but the apprentice next to her kept opening the curtain to look, his eyes full of longing.

She transferred the shop in Beijing to a female merchant who had a close relationship with her on weekdays and had several transactions.

The little girl named Jacaranda was in tears, and no matter how much the shopkeeper advised, she refused to leave Zhu Xingchun's side for half a step. said that she had no father or mother, but only wished the master a meal, so that she survived that winter, and this great kindness should be repaid for a lifetime.

Xingchun couldn't, so he acquiesced to her existence.

The jacaranda has never seen the river like a lin, the mountains on both sides of the river, and the shadow of a thousand sails at sunset, and the boat is like the sky. Zhu Xingchun put down the needle and thread, and said with a smile: "If you like it, we won't go back to Beijing in the past few years, and if you have leisure in the future, I can take you all to enjoy it." ”

The little girl lowered the curtain and stuck out her tongue, but she immediately thought of something, and her face wrinkled: "Miss, I heard that you were forced away by the county lord of Duancheng because of Pei Yanche's white-eyed wolf, don't you complain in your heart?" ”

Because he left Shangjing, Zhu Xingchun thought that he was not a good person, and corrected it several times before he reluctantly changed the name of the jacaranda.

Zhu Xingchun was stunned: "Who told you these gossips?" ”

She opened the curtain again: "I haven't seen the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River for several years. People have been tired for a long time, and they have returned to their hometowns to enjoy happiness for a while, Xiaoying, you should be happy for me. ”

In the first half of the land journey, she inherited the connections of Duancheng, and only then did she pass through several official roads unscathed. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, chewing the root of their tongue in front of such a young child, and reaching the ears of the people in Beijing, something will happen.

Pei Yanche's hand was stretched too long.

Because Duancheng didn't lose with her, he lost his chance to save the beauty as a hero, so he was resentful?

I wish Xingchun to close my eyes and recuperate, and my heart is meditative.

When they got to land, the jacaranda exhaled, looked at the streets on both sides, and asked, "Miss, are we going back to your original home now?" ”

I thought I would get a positive answer, but I didn't expect Zhu Xingchun to lower his eyes, shook his head bitterly, and the end of his speech fell: "No." ”

"I moved from Yangzhou seven years ago, and then I ...... I only arrived in Beijing three years ago, and I don't have a home. ”

Her words were unknown, but the jacaranda was dumbfounded for a moment.

She's just young, not ignorant of the world. At that time, the situation was turbulent, the war between heaven and earth was blazing, and Yangzhou City at that time was also difficult to avoid disasters, with countless casualties, and it was only in recent years that it gradually recovered its former vitality.

In this case......

The jacaranda felt that she had said the wrong thing, and repented that she had slapped herself in the mouth a few times.

was only fragile for a while, and Zhu Xingchun acted like no one else: "It's okay, it's all over, let's go, find an inn and stay for one night, and wait until tomorrow we will go to the tooth man to see if there is a clean and spacious courtyard." ”

……

The people of Yangzhou are open, not an official family, and unmarried women can also wander on the street without a curtain. Therefore, Zhu Xingchun just went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy two sets of plain color skirts, tied a braid for himself, and hung it lightly on his shoulders, and finally found a drop-shaped hairpin in the same color on the roadside stall, and knocked on the long cabinet in front of the hall.

"The shopkeeper, two upper rooms, and then eat in the front hall."

The voice was crisp, with a long tail note, and the shopkeeper looked up from the abacus and met a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

The girl in front of him was petite and fair-skinned, and he smiled habitually: "Okay, please take a seat." The girl looked at her eyes, she came from other places to play, right? ”

Time has really changed.

Zhu Xingchun smiled and shook his head, didn't speak, only patted the jacaranda on the shoulder, signaled her to order some favorite food at will, and sat down at the dining table and poured a glass of water.

It didn't take long for the dishes to be served in turn. As soon as Zhu Xingchun was about to move his chopsticks, there was a faint noise from the table next door.

She wasn't a nosy person until she felt that this voice was a little familiar......

Then she looked back and saw red headbands dotted on a long ponytail, fluttering in the wind.

However, the mood of the redhead does not seem to be very good.

"Let the old man urge me to go home so anxious as if the old sow at home is about to give birth, now it's okay, this young master's money bag doesn't know which alley to fall into, what do you say? Who will pay for this meal? ”

Beside him, several people dressed the same, at first glance, they are the private attendants of the rich and noble, you look at me, I look at you, and no one can hold back a word.

and Xiao Er, who was waiting to collect the money at their dinner table, was obviously a little embarrassed on his face: "Li Gongzi, you said this is ......"

Oh, yes, the young man who solved her dilemma once seems to be called Li Fuchao.

In the end, finally an attendant gritted his teeth, "Childe, my subordinates hurry back to the mansion to get the money, and if you are wronged, you will ...... it first tonight."

Before the words fell, Li Fuchao said "sigh" twice and directly interrupted him: "The old man himself said, let me go home, it is a blessing to study, and this blessing has not been enjoyed, so let me open my mouth and sleep on the tree and drink the northwest wind for one night?" ”

His eyes rolled a few times: "If you want me to say, it's better for Young Master Ben to go to the nearest pawnshop in our house in person, spend two sums of silver first, and we won't be in a hurry to go back, in short, we are all at the foot of Yangzhou, what's wrong with playing for a few more days?" ”

The attendants looked embarrassed, "But the lord himself ordered that the son has not returned home for a long time, and every word in his mouth is not credible," he swallowed for a while, and still said, "Even if you are tied, I will tie you back." ”

Zhu Xingchun was fighting wits and courage with the braised silver carp in front of him, and when he heard this, he accidentally choked with laughter twice, and was so startled that the jacaranda hurriedly smoothed her down: "Miss, water." ”

Xingchun raised his hand, meaning that it was okay.

She thought about Li Fuchao's words for a while, which seemed straightforward and self-harmful, but the actual meaning did not seem to be as it appeared on the surface.

She doesn't care about other people's housework, but in the end she owes him a favor.

She touched the purse on her waist.

This is really the confidence given to her by the county lord of Duancheng.

She took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked directly to Li Fu's table, with a subtle smile on her face, and her tone was a little surprised: "I really have a fate with Li Gongzi, I said goodbye more than a month ago, and we met again today." ”

In this Yangzhou city, where did his old acquaintances come from?

Li Fuchao frowned and turned around, and saw that Zhu Xingchun was only three seats away from him, and the kindness in his eyes could not be faked.
