auspicious time has come

Chapter 169

Amidst the crowd and noise, there was gradually the sound of horseshoes approaching.

Because there were too many people who came to watch, the long street was congested, and because they were afraid of bumping into the people, the group of people had to slow down.

Looking at the group of people who appeared in sight, the surroundings were suddenly full of voices.

"Look! General Xiao is here!"

"It really is that General Xiao from the Northland?!"

Everyone stretched their necks and squeezed forward, searching excitedly among the pedestrians: "Which one? Which one is General Xiao?"

"I can guess it, and it is naturally the one who is the leader!" A young scholar said with bright eyes: "Although I have never been lucky enough to see it before, I will know it now... Light, but it really is a rare general in a hundred years!"

Everyone followed the scholar's line of sight, and saw that the man sitting high on the horse was tall and broad, wearing a black robe embroidered with dark patterns, with a sword at his side, although he was not wearing armor, his whole body had an imposing manner, cold Ran's brows have the aura of not being close to strangers that has been in the battlefield for a long time.

Because this momentum was too difficult to ignore, everyone was able to see that equally outstanding face in the next moment.

For a while, there were exclamations one after another.

"Is this really General Xiao?"

"Didn't the rumors say that General Xiao was born with three heads and six arms, and was born with superhuman powers?"

"The storyteller has been deceiving me for a long time! I need to ask him to refund the money later!"

"Isn't this more beautiful than three-headed and six-armed? This appearance, this momentum, is more like a god-man coming down to earth!"

"It's just...you see, it's just like the one in the painting!"

"I heard that General Xiao has been busy leading troops to recapture border cities these years, but he hasn't taken care of getting married yet!"

As soon as he said this, a bold woman couldn't wait to pull out the flowers from her temples and threw them at the young general.

However, before the flower could get close to Xiao Mu, the extremely vigilant Deputy General Wang swung his knife and cut it off!

The knife flashed, and a flower was cut in half and fell under the horse's hoof.

This scene caused a brief silence in the surroundings.

Looking at the startled people, Vice General Wang put no expression on his face and showed no sign of guilt. With a 'shua' sound, he swiftly retracted the knife into its sheath.

It's a good thing to scare people away, so as not to offend the general later - just throwing flowers, who knows if the next one will be throwing hidden weapons.

"What a fast knife..." Some people came to their senses and exclaimed.

"As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general... What kind of skill should General Xiao be?"

"With such heroes protecting our Dasheng border, the world will be safe!"

"General Xiao is worthy of being our great hero in Dasheng!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became more and more excited, and more flowers flew in the direction of Xiao Mu and others.

"...!" Wang Jingyong's eyelids twitched wildly.

What's going on with these people, why are they getting worse!

In spring, it is a good season for hairpin flowers. Not to mention ladies big and small, it is normal for elegant old gentlemen to put a seasonal flower on their gray temples.

Ladies without hairpins simply took off their purses and threw them over.

Along the long street and in the high pavilions on both sides of the street, countless flower sachets rained down for a while.

"Girl, this..." Cuihuai was stunned: "This is comparable to the scene of the number one scholar parading the streets a few years ago!"

Seeing the man sitting firmly on the horse in the rain of flowers, Heng Yu couldn't help saying: "It seems that even the gods divide the territory, although they still have such a face that strangers should not get close to, but after changing the boundary, the sense of deterrence is still weak. A lot. Or are we girls in the capital all courageous?"

While Hengyu was still amazed, he suddenly saw a handful of pink and white camellias tied with fine hemp rope handed to him.

"Here." Cheng Ping stuffed the flowers over with a straight face.

She is such a person who likes to join in the fun, other girls have them, if she doesn't have them, then why not?
Heng Yu was quite surprised: "Uncle Ping, where did you come from?"

"Of course I bought it." Cheng Ping pointed at the young flower seller walking through the crowd: "Eighty Wen."

"Eighty Wen?" Cui Huai sighed, "These small merchants and hawkers are all for business... Others only know that when they join in the fun, they are already collecting money."

In the crowded crowd, Xiao Mu and the others drove their horses slowly, and at this time they had arrived in front of Heng Yu and the others.

As if he had checked something, the young general who was sitting on the horse without looking sideways turned his head slightly to look at the crowd on the left.

"General Xiao is here!" The two young ladies beside Hengyu blushed excitedly.

Amidst the din of the crowd, four eyes suddenly met, Xiao Mu was a little surprised.

A girl with black hair and high hairpin with beaded flowers squeezed into the lively crowd, in order to prevent people from stepping on the corner of her skirt, she held the light lotus color silk skirt embroidered with egrets spreading her wings in one hand, seeing him, she smiled brightly Confidently raised the hand holding the camellia, and waved it vigorously at him.

At this moment, Xiao Mu only felt that the noise was gone, everything was fixed, and all sounds disappeared, but it seemed that the beauty and vitality of the whole spring were rushing towards his face at this moment, although it was silent, it was turbulent, even overwhelming.

What broke this freeze-frame picture was the camellia flying towards him.

Xiao Mu immediately stretched out a hand to catch it firmly.

All around suddenly boiled up.

There were too many people throwing flowers, and they didn't even notice which direction the ordinary camellia came from.

But the young general, who is admired by thousands of people, is sitting on the horse. Just this gesture of raising his hand to catch the flower is enough to make everyone around boil.

For the onlookers, it doesn't matter whose flower General Xiao receives.

But to General Xiao, it was especially important.

For Uncle Ping, it is also very important——

Eighty cents a handful of flowers, why throw them all at once!

Should be a small amount, many times!
It's not worth it to just pass such an addiction!
"Liu'er, go back to the car and wait..." A woman chased a girl and squeezed into the crowd: "Be careful that you get separated from your brother! Your brother went out of the city to pick us up today, don't you want that?" What went wrong..."

"The carriage is parked right there, how could it get lost!" The girl stood on her tiptoes and still couldn't see her, so she just jumped up and looked around, saying, "Anyway, the carriage can't move, let's take a look at the bustle of the capital! These What do people do? I just heard that it was a general... Could it be a great general who won a victorious battle?"

As the girl spoke, her eyes suddenly widened: "Auntie, look quickly! It's that gentleman from that day!"

The woman looked over helplessly——who will be the gentleman?
Seeing this, he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Auntie, isn't this Sister Ji's foster husband?" the girl lowered her voice.

"Judging from your accent, you are from other places, right? This is General Xiao, Marquis of Dingbei!" The enthusiastic woman beside him said with a smile.

"Xiao... General Xiao Xiao Jieshi?!" The girl's eyes widened in surprise—General Xiao is actually Sister Ji's foster husband? !

No, no... The order of reasoning seems to be wrong?

The girl's mind froze for a moment.

The aunt Feng Shi beside her also covered her mouth in astonishment - the young gentleman they saw in the posthouse that day turned out to be Jieshi Xiao!

"Second Sister, Auntie, it's crowded here. If you want to watch the excitement, why don't we go to the teahouse opposite?" A young man in brocade clothes came over with a servant and suggested.

"No, no, they should be leaving soon..." The girl managed to recover and waved her hands.

But at this time, the boy suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Ah Heng?!"

Heng Yu heard the sound and looked over, also a little surprised: "Ma Zhe?"

The young man she called Ma Zhe walked over quickly: "When did you come back? Why didn't you say it earlier, so that the brothers can cleanse you up!"

Heng Yu smiled: "It's also Beijing that I just returned to yesterday."

"Are you free today? I'll call Shang Han Qige and the others, let's ask Xianlou to set up a table!"

"I don't have any free time today, I have to go to the Palace of the Princess Yongyang."

"Success, then another day! By the way, Ah Heng, this is me..."

"Sister Ji!" Ma Yingliu stepped forward and looked at Hengyu in great surprise.

Heng Yu smiled: "Liu'er, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

"You...recognize?" Ma Zhe asked in surprise.

"Of course! Elder brother doesn't know something, that day in the post house..."

In Hengyu's room, he was talking with the Ma brothers and sisters.

Xiao Mu, who was holding the camellia in his hand, watched from a distance that the young man in brocade clothes who was beside her was beaming, and he didn't know what he was saying, as if he was showing off some great achievements, and finally he waved his fist and gestured.

Although a little naive, but full of youthful spirit.

Wang Jingyong, who also saw this scene, asked in a low voice: "General, do you want your subordinates to investigate the identity of the young man?"

"..." Xiao Mu turned his head to look at his subordinates, with obvious doubts in his eyes—are you okay?
Who she makes friends with is her freedom, and it's not anyone's turn to dictate, right?

Anyone, naturally including him.

"If you are really free, let someone go ahead to open the way, so that you can leave this street as soon as possible." Xiao Mu looked at the increasingly turbulent crowd ahead, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

The so-called grand event today is probably not a good sign.

"Ma'am, it's only the second time that your lord has come to the capital, and the people in the capital have come to greet you spontaneously. It can be seen that everyone knows about our lord's achievements." Chunjuan opened the window and looked out, sighing. Said: "Ma'am, look, it's almost too crowded!"

"Okay, don't read it." The overly enthusiastic voice outside made Mrs. Xiao feel a little uneasy, and confessed: "The capital is no better than Yingzhou, so remember not to make things public in the future, so as not to give others the opportunity to make a fuss."

Chun Juan then closed the window of the car, and said in response: "Yes, the maidservant has recorded it."

Seeing the chariots and horses of Xiao Mu and others gradually going away, Heng Yu seemed to ask his friends casually: "The Thousand Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are not a few princes and princes from all over the world who come to Beijing to celebrate. Is it so lively every day in Beijing? ?”

"That's not true. It's the first time I've seen today's situation." Ma Zhe thought about it and said, "I heard from my old man two days ago that several princes have arrived, but the princes from all over the country seem to be There is only one envoy Xiao Jie here... But it is nothing unusual, this envoy Xiao Jie has made such great achievements in the northern region in recent years, it is normal for the saint to treat him differently."

Heng Yu nodded: "Yes...it is indeed different."

Other princes did not enter the capital like this, but Xiao Mu's entry into the capital was empty -

Ordinarily, it is impossible for ordinary people to know the exact itinerary of Xiao Mu in advance, but if the news spread only after he entered the city gate, it would definitely not cause such congestion in such a short period of time image.

She wouldn't believe it if there was no one to contribute to the flames.

It's just that I don't know who "treats you differently" behind this?

When talents first entered Beijing, those dark knives were already gaining momentum.

As Xiao Mu and his party left, the crowded crowd gradually dispersed.

After parting from the Ma brothers and sisters, Heng Yu took Cui Huai back into the carriage.

The carriage was moving, and the horseshoes and wheels slowly ran over the flowers, leaving colorful flower juice on the bluestone road.

The driver of Ji's family quietly glanced at Cheng Ping who was sitting beside him, and put up his guard in the bottom of his heart.

The old man that the girl brought back from Yingzhou looked dull and silent, but inside he was a man with tricks!

Just now, he actually thought of buying flowers for the girl and throwing them for fun, and compared him, the old servant of the Ji family, to life—could it be because he wanted to win favor and take away his status!

Under the uneasy speculation of the coachman, the carriage came all the way to the Palace of Princess Yongyang.

As soon as the car was about to stop, Heng Yu couldn't wait to jump down.

"Auntie, Miss Heng is here!" Someone had already been waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and it was Sister Qizhen, the most respected female official in the mansion, who personally brought several female envoys to meet her.

Heng Yu smiled and walked over quickly holding her skirt: "Aunt Qizhen!"

Qizhen, who was always serious, showed a smile: "Miss Heng is back, His Highness is waiting, go in and talk."

Hengyu nodded, took Cuihuai and Cheng Ping who were carrying the brocade box, and followed her to the mansion, and when they crossed the vermilion lacquered threshold, asked: "Long time no see, Aunt Qizhen, how are you?"

"Miss Lao Heng remembers, everything is fine."

"His Highness has a bad cough recently?"

"It's okay during the day, but it's more frequent at night..."

While walking and talking, a group of people arrived outside the courtyard of the eldest princess.

Cheng Ping stopped, handed the things in his hands to the female envoy, and wanted to wait for Hengyu outside the courtyard, but was politely invited by the female envoy to the ear room for tea and rest.

Cheng Ping has always been reticent, he nodded and followed the envoy.

"Seeing that you are a new face, is this the first time you have come here?" The maid said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained. Your Highness waits for Miss Heng to come out as a relative. Our two houses are one family."

This kind of words should not come from the mouth of an ordinary female envoy, but because of this, it became more and more obvious that the eldest princess's mansion has long been accustomed to this.

Cheng Ping listened to it and thought about it in his heart.

"It seems to be hearing the cat's footsteps, call it in and let me have a look." In the inner room, Princess Yongyang got up from the soft couch and looked out through the bead curtain.

In the next moment, a slender and tall figure of a young girl trotted in and threw herself into her arms, "Your Highness!"

Princess Yongyang smiled and "tsk": "Why does this cat pounce on people when it comes up..."

As he spoke, he stroked the back of Hengyu's head, and said softly: "Why do I feel that this cat is longer?"

"Miss Heng has grown taller again." Qi Zhen said with a smile beside her.

　Good night everyone~
