into the bosom

Chapter 38
Xu Jiao stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Xiao's ear tentatively while being angry, Xiao Xiao actually rubbed her hand to show her closeness, Xu Jiao smiled happily, "Look, Xiao Xiao likes her too." What about the name?"

"Yes!" He Lianshu slightly raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that he might know the origin of the name.

Learning to ride and shoot is far more difficult than Xu Jiao thought.Her body is weak, and her arm strength is even weaker. When resting on the road for many days, He Lianshu took time to teach her, but her archery skills did not improve much.Riding skills are mediocre, and it took about ten days in a row before he was able to ride Xiaoxiao and trot for a few steps.

At this time, they were already very close to Nanyang Mansion.

"A Shu, what do you plan to do after entering Nanyang Mansion?" Seeing that the city wall of Nanyang Mansion was already in sight, Su Le couldn't help asking He Lianshu.

"I have plans for this." He Lianshu looked at the city wall not far away with deep eyes.

Nanyang Mansion is located at the border between the north and the south of the Great Wei Dynasty, and its business is not prosperous. However, the parents and officials of all generations have attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry, so they can be considered affluent.

The Liu family in Nanyang Mansion is one of the best aristocratic families in the local area. They have been officials for generations, and most of their nephews and nephews are officials in the court. Even the relatives of the emperor have to give a little bit of face, not to mention that in the southern border, there are many people who are flattering and flattering.

Of course, this happened before. Now that the Pingnan Palace was overthrown, the situation of the Liu family as in-laws suddenly became more delicate. Although they have not been implicated yet, they are still in dire straits.

The entire Liu family was in a panic all day long.It's like hanging a knife above your head, but you don't know when it will fall.

And this kind of panic has climbed to the extreme after a group of purple-clothed guards settled in Liu's house the day before yesterday.

In the early morning, a concierge came in a hurry, went directly into a courtyard, and handed a letter to Liu Zhaoyan, "Mr. Hurry up and send it to Mr. Lang!"

Liu Zhaoyan looked a little haggard, with dark shadows under his eyes, and his eyes were full of depression. His usual appearance of a modest gentleman was greatly reduced. When the porter came, he was washing his face with water from a basin, and his face was dripping wet. look up.

When meeting the porter's eyes, he paused for a moment, his eyes fell on the letter in the porter's hand, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and in the next moment, he hurriedly wiped his hands with a towel, and took the letter over .

There was a very unremarkable flower drawn on the lower right corner of the envelope. When Liu Zhaoyan saw it, his pupils shrank slightly.The concierge was not a concierge at all, he was specially transferred to work as a concierge a few days ago, and it really came in handy now.

Liu Zhaoyan hesitated for a moment, then took out the letter and hastily read it.

There was only a short line of words on the note, and he read it quickly.Without his order, the concierge had already lit the candle, took the note and put it on it, watching the tongue of fire engulf the note bit by bit, and burn it up...

The flickering flames reflected Liu Zhaoyan's pupils, making the darkness at the bottom of the pupils extraordinarily clear.

"You watch in the mansion, don't disturb the guest house, I'll go out!" Liu Zhaoyan said, taking the coat that was on the shelf and putting it on.

"Yes!" The porter clapped his hands in response.

Liu Zhaoyan was already walking out quickly while arranging his robe.

When he arrived at the door, he was already dressed neatly, but before he could step over the threshold, his steps stopped abruptly.

A group of figures appeared in front of the door. At first, a person was dressed in purple with a silver mask covering his face. He just stood in front of him. A faintly smiling voice came out from behind the mask, "Mr. , where is this going?"

Liu Zhaoyan's already unattractive complexion suddenly darkened by two points.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Zhaoyan rode out of the mansion and headed straight for the busy city.

When they arrived at the Changle Winery mentioned in the paper, they stopped the horses, and the staff in the winery had already come up to welcome the guests with great eyesight.

Liu Zhaoyan threw the reins to him, and walked around the environment and people outside the winery, not seeing anything unusual, then strode into the winery again.

At this time, there was no business in the wine shop, only two idle men in the corner, chatting and drinking with a dime of wine and a plate of crispy beans, but Liu Zhaoyan still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, his gaze was still the same. Looking around sharply.

The guy tied the horse, and the wind caught up with him, "What kind of wine do you want to drink, sir? We have all kinds of good wine here, besides the ones from the Great Wei, we also have wines from the Western Regions..."

"Is there a private room upstairs?" Liu Zhaoyan looked around the lobby, then raised his eyes and looked upstairs.

"There are, but there is only one room, and there are already people..." The guy's eyes lit up when he said this, "Mr. Is that the little lady is waiting for?"

Little lady?Liu Zhaoyan was noncommittal.

The clerk had already said attentively, "Lang Jun, please come here!" It was for him that he attracted the way.

Liu Zhaoyan followed him upstairs.This wine shop is not too big, there is only one private room upstairs, and the main street is downstairs, there is no retreat at all...

Liu Zhaoyan frowned as he watched.

In a blink of an eye, the elegant room has arrived.

Liu Zhaoyan calmed down, watched the waiter knock on the door, and then pushed the door open.

There was a figure standing by the window, wearing a pink and blue skirt, looking from behind, she was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, she was a young lady!

"Are you..." Liu Zhaoyan asked tentatively as he stepped forward.This stature is not Xu Wei!But that camellia flower was a joke they made when they were young, and no one else knew it, except for Xu Wei, there was only...Xu Jiao.

The man by the window turned his head, Liu Zhaoyan stopped abruptly, his expression changed suddenly, and he asked in a startled voice, "Who are you?"

That back view looked like a Pingting girl, but looking back, that face... was full of pockmarks, with buck teeth and wide mouth, it was horrible.Even though Liu Zhaoyan hadn't seen Xu Jiao for several years, the girl's [-]th change can change again... With the blood of King Pingnan and the princess, it is impossible for Xu Jiao's youthful appearance to be what he is now!

This is not Xu Jiao!
Liu Zhaoyan's complexion changed, he turned his heels suddenly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, that woman rushed forward with bright eyes, and Liu Zhaoyan was caught off guard, and was caught by her.

A choking smell of makeup and powder hit his nostrils, Liu Zhaoyan almost lost his breath, not to mention the woman in front of him was still clinging to him, "Let go!" Liu Zhaoyan's face changed with anger, and his gentle and gentle appearance was vividly suppressed. torn.

That woman's strength is surprisingly strong, and she can't break it apart, "The little lady who came to me is really right, she really has a handsome gentleman, sir... The little girl is eighteen years old and has not yet married... ..."

Liu Zhaoyan couldn't care less about being a gentleman any longer, so he pushed the woman away with all his strength,
