After another half an hour, Zhang Nianxin changed his clothes and took care of his hairstyle. Dugu Feng took a look: exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, and a soft morning cloud near fragrant bun. Get rid of a rich daughter. Of course, ignore her words and deeds...

Dugu Feng helped her walk on the corridor and said, "Alas, you can't stride like before when you wear this, it's easy to fall down." Come on, follow me and learn..."

Zhang Nianxin walked slowly and cautiously, since she put on this purple and blue dress, she felt like she was covered with a thick layer of gauze, every step was dragged by this gauze, and she would be tripped if she was careful. After walking for a while, she couldn't stand it and said helplessly: "This dress is good-looking, but it's really useless, it's so uncomfortable to walk in it." ”

Dugufeng helped her aside and sat down, and smiled: "Take your time, when I learned to walk like this for the first time, it was also very uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Nianxin touched his hairstyle again and complained: "Why does this hairstyle put my hair coiled together and put it on the top, plus this bunch of hair ornaments and hairpins, I feel like my neck is going to be broken, when can I take it." ”

Dugu Feng gloated and laughed: "Then you are really blessed, as a courtesy, you have to wear this hair ornament every day today, and you can't rest until the New Year arrives and the fireworks are over." ”

"Ahh

Seeing her possible appearance, Dugu Feng had to be comforted: "Don't worry, I will find a way to cover for you when the time comes, you don't have to be afraid of suffering for so long." ”

Zhang Nianxin sighed, "Alas, maybe I really didn't have the life of a rich lady." ”

"Oh, that's right," Dugu Feng instructed again: "I still have a few words to say to you, you have to remember." First, don't say what kind of boat girl you are, just say that you are a martial arts practitioner who has traveled abroad. ”

Zhang Nianxin glanced at her: "Why, you don't even like the origin of your life-saving benefactor?"

Dugufeng explained: "Of course, I am not one of those small families attached to the family, I hate the poor and love the rich, and I see people serving dishes. But I'm me, and the rest of the clan won't be easy to say, so don't blame me for not reminding you if they don't give you a good face when the time comes. ”

Zhang Nianxin stabilized his somewhat crooked hairstyle and said: "Okay, okay, I listen to you, I will make it up and say that I am a lay disciple of Louguandao, and my master is Qihui, the contemporary head of Louguandao." And what about the next one?"

Dugu Feng continued: "The second thing, you may see some gentlemen doing something very infuriating in the house, promise me not to do it." Tell me first, I'll figure it out. ”

Zhang Nianxin said with some doubts: "What's the matter, is your Dugu family's family style bad?"

Dugu Feng said with some self-deprecation: "Tutor, don't you forget that my family's ancestor is famous for the queen of literature, and a large part of it depends on the miracle of running away from the emperor in a jealous way through the ages." ”

Zhang Nianxin was silent for a while.

At this time, Mr. Wang came up and said, "Miss, the second prince has come to pick you up at the ferry in front. You can go home by land there, and we will go to the nearby Grange to collect rent and transport goods for the New Year's Holidays. ”

Dugu Feng returned the salute and pulled Zhang Nianxin and said, "Call Shang Xueqing together, just take you to see my cousin." ”

As soon as the boat landed, Zhang Nianxin saw a man dressed as a peasant with a turban on the boat and said to Steward Wang with a sad face: "Master Wang, you can reduce the rent a little, the three paddy fields in the east have all been flooded this summer, and a heavy snowfall came a few days ago, which smashed several vegetable fields. If you don't reduce the rent and collect according to the original harvest, we won't even have enough seeds for next year's planting. No need to drop much. "The man is better than the number." ”

No matter how he pleaded, Mr. Wang just said with an iron face: "No!" Mr. Wang waved his hand and said: "Are you not happy? Am I getting better, the rent is set by the head of the house, how dare I change it! It is the end of the year, and a large number of people in the house don't need money for food and clothing? If I dare to lower it, the head of the house will have to pick my skin." And let me tell you, not only can not be missing, but each piece of goods shipped to Guanzhong must be filled with another three cents. ”

When the farmer heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down: "Why is this?"

"Hmph, these are going to be transported to Luoyang and given to the family, and the expenses of the sports west along the way will not be spread on you, to whom?"

When the tenant heard this, he knelt on the ground and said in despair: "It's over, the money spent on this sports thing is not cheaper than the goods, how can I pass this year." ”

Zhang Nianxin watched this scene coldly, and felt that there was a nameless fire burning in her chest, and she wanted to chop off the chief manager, but in the end, she still held back, because he was just a subordinate. The other half, Dugu Feng didn't seem to see her expression, took her hand and said, "Look, that's my cousin." Come here, brother, we're here. With that, Dugu Feng ran to a group of teams alone. At this time, Dugufeng was wearing a long dress that was even more gorgeous than her previous dress, wearing gold and silver all over her body, and she was gorgeous and beautiful, without a trace of embarrassment that she was blocked by the salt lord at the beginning. And her cousin rode a tall horse, followed by an entourage of more than twenty people. It's really not majestic, and people passing by stand and point their fingers, envy and amazement. At this moment, Zhang Nianxin always felt that there was an indescribable barrier between them...

Seeing that his cousin beckoned to him, Dugu hurriedly got off the horse, stepped forward and said helplessly: "Sister Chu Feng, Sister Chu Feng, why are you about to celebrate the New Year and secretly ran out of the house, my father almost fainted when he received your letter, it's really worrying." But Xin is good, you're okay at all. ”

Dugu Feng patted his head and said, "I didn't expect you to grow so tall in just three years." Actually, I'm not used to staying in Luoyang, and I always feel that this Bashu is my home, and you and your uncle are closer to me. ”

Dugu straightened out his head that was touched by his sister, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to treat in this Bashu, it's damp and wet, it rains at both ends for three days, and the road is not easy to walk." I don't know if you miss this place so much. Then he looked around and wondered, "Where is Fauber? Why didn't I see him, didn't he come with you?"

Dugu Feng sighed and was sad: "We met the salt owl halfway, and Fu Bo was killed in order to protect me. ”

"Ah-" Dugu Yan was also sad for Dugu Feng, not only how to comfort him. Because he knew that when the Dugu clan was implicated and sent to Shudi, it was Fu Bo who followed and took care of her all the way, and she was unharmed. For her, Fauber is not a relative, but more like a relative. In the end, he had no choice but to persuade: "Mourn." Turning her head, she saw that in addition to Xue Qing, there was also a pretty woman behind her. "Who is this girl?"

"Oh, you said her. Dugu Feng waved his hand, beckoned Zhang Nianxin over, took her hand and said with a smile: "This is Zhang Nianxin, Zhang Nuxia, she is strong in martial arts, and I was robbed by thieves on the way." She was the one who killed three of them and saved me. ”

"Huh?" Dugu listened to it, looked at the woman with delicate makeup in front of him, and said with a look of disbelief: "This girl killed three salt lords? ”

Zhang Nianxin's anger disappeared at this time, she was also half a black household and a wanted criminal, where did she get the qualifications to be angry with others, as soon as she heard that Dugu didn't believe in her martial arts, she chuckled. Quietly walked up to him, took advantage of his distraction, pulled the sword from his waist with a snort, and then circled his side dexterously. Before the guards around him could react, Dugu Yan felt a roar, and his sword was already on her neck, jumping him off the spot.

But Zhang Nianxin said with a smile: "This sword is useless, the blade is not opened well, and your hand, Son, the nails are too long, and it is not convenient to hold the sword." Then he returned the sword to him, "Now you believe it." ”

Dugu Yan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and saluted and said: "I believe it, thank you Miss Zhang for saving my sister on the way." "I secretly said in my heart: It's really a human being who can't be seen.

Dugufeng had to step forward to ease the embarrassing atmosphere: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's leave quickly, my uncle is still waiting for us." ”

Dugu said: "Oh, yes, yes, let's go quickly, the family is still waiting for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, just leave you." ”

As soon as he got into the carriage, Dugufeng said to Zhang Nianxin helplessly, "I said not to use force, but you just don't listen to persuasion." ”

Zhang Nianxin snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "Hmph, who told him to dare to look down on this girl, and the rich boy who doesn't know how to maintain a sword dares to look down on me? ”

On the other side, Qingxue suddenly came to Dugu Yan's side and asked timidly: "Why didn't my sister come with you to pick me up, didn't I send Miss Tuo the letter to her?"

When Dugu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he coughed a few times, "Ahem," and said, "Xueqing, is this, it's a long story, and you'll understand when you get home." ”

Xue Qing looked at Dugu's expression, her face pale...

In the land of Bashu, the mountains and rivers are rugged and precipitous, and the mountain roads are steep and difficult to walk. Except for the Chengdu Plain, there is almost no complete Great Plain in the entire Jiannan Road (Jiannan Jiedu Envoy). However, the mountains and rivers here block communication with other places. It also leads to the fact that the life and rest of the people here are generally slow, go to the teahouse Chu House to taste tea and watch plays, play chess and play a game (mahjong prototype) The day often passes like this (of course, this kind of person is generally a little bit of property, and the poor will not be so idle). It's Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhang Nianxin poked his head out of the window, and people wearing stalks could be seen everywhere on the roads on both sides, holding couplets, preserved fruits and other New Year's goods.

Then he asked Dugu Feng: "Alas, Miss Feng, what's the matter with those people, they all have to wear robes in winter?"

Dugu Feng also glanced at it: "Hey, the land of Bashu, there are many mountains and rivers, and there are many clouds and mist." The atmosphere of the misty land is also very humid, so this land of Bashu is often snowing the day before, and it will be rainy the day after the day, so most of the people who live here will wear clothes and hats to be needed from time to time. Why, didn't you say that you followed the caravan into Shu? I don't even know this?"

"Hey," Zhang Nianxin waved his hand, "I lied to you, I am a girl, where do they dare to take me, they all let me cook for them where they stay." ”

Dugu Feng thought of the black and charcoal-like fruits and fish that Zhang Nianxin roasted for her before, and her stomach was cold, and she said in a strange way: "With you as a chef, those guys are definitely blessed." ”

"Hahahaha——。 Zhang Nianxin's whisper came, listening to Dugu for a while, looking back at the carriage, only to see that the two of them were talking, laughing and affectionate, like good friends who had known each other for many years, and Zhang Nianxin was wearing his sister's favorite dress before, and wondered in his heart: "It's strange, it seems that the two of them have known each other for less than a month, right? Why are they so close." ”

After another half a day, it was getting late, and I finally arrived outside Chengdu. As soon as she got out of the carriage, Zhang Nianxin looked at the majestic and magnificent, and couldn't help but be stunned by the exterior wall of Chengdu, and she really felt like a countryman entering the city.

Dugu Feng took her hand and smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the manor where I grew up." ”

On the other side, Wu Jiansheng and his party were not so comfortable, and their boat stopped in the area of Shuishui and stopped...

(Here is a list of the ages of the more important people in the later period: Zhang Nianxin is 16 years old, Dugufeng is 17 years old, Xueqing is 18 and a half years old, Li Xuantong is 20 years old, Wu Jiansheng is 27 years old, and Fang Xiuwen is 31 years old)
