Jiuzun asked

Tianwu, Shangjing.

There is no such thing as the flow of people that I imagined. On the wide street, although there are many people on each street, it is not like what my parents said.

Xiao Wenwen remembered the two things his mother told him. The first thing was to go to Shangjing Brothel, find an old man named Yi Mubai, thank him for saving his life, and then return the little donkey to him.

Shang Jing, brothel.It's so eye-catching.On the roof of the building that soared into the sky, there was a large black and white plaque with the word "brothel" written on it.

I don't know if the plaque is too big or too wide.I always feel that there is a large space in front of the word brothel, and I should be able to write a word, but it is left blank on the plaque, which does not look abrupt like the first floor of Shangjing.

In front of the door of the brothel, there are hundreds of stone steps made of peony stones. The patterns on the black and white peony stones are engraved on the high steps, and thousands of flowers are clustered, which is pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Wenwen climbed up the hundred peony stone steps, and patted the vermilion door heavily with his hands.I haven't seen anyone open the door for a long time, so I stuffed a letter written by my parents into the door.

Then, the black donkey was tied to the stone pillar beside the brothel.

The second thing is to go to Yuhuafang in Twelve Neifang in Shangjing, find General Nalan's Mansion, and find an old friend of his father, Nalan Jude.

This General Nalan's Mansion is not far from the brothel.It's only half a mile away.

Beside the gate of General Nalan's Mansion, there are four characters "Loyalty Soul Pillar Kingdom" engraved on it.

Xiao Wenwen saluted the guard at the door and said, "General, I am looking for Mr. Nalan Jude, and I would like to inform you."

The guard looked at the young man in black robe, although his face was still childish, it was handsome.He didn't seem like someone who dared to mess around in the general's mansion, so he said: "The three generals of Nalan Mansion went to Mount Huatai to watch the ceremony. Most of the famous families in the capital, princes and generals, have gone. The three generals, don't you?" In the mansion."

Xiao Wenwen continued: "I don't know if Mrs. Xia is in the residence."

The guard heard him talking about Mrs. Xia and said: "This Mrs. Xia, we can't report it. If you have any tokens or letters, it will be much easier."

Xiao Wenwen handed over the letter he had prepared earlier and a brocade handkerchief embroidered with hundreds of flowers.

After waiting for about an hour, someone finally came out to report: "Old Madam Xia, she is unwell. Madam Hou, the wife of General Nalan Manor of Nalan Mansion, is waiting in the back house."

This Mrs. Hou's face is bright and young, beautiful and dignified.A pair of red phoenix eyes stared at Xiao Wendao's face, looking back and forth.It seemed that Xiao Wendao had flowers growing on his face.

Xiao Wenwen was also a little embarrassed at this time, but his body was still standing upright, and his face was neither sad nor happy. After giving a salute, he quietly waited for the question.

Mrs. Hou said: "It is indeed a child taught by Qishan and Yangrou. He is very heroic, and there is Qishan's stubbornness in his eyes. Take your seat quickly, this Nalan Mansion is also your home. Back then Your grandfather, King Xiao Yue, is a life-and-death friendship with the ancestors of the Nalan family, and the three pillars of protecting the country together with the first god general of Tianwu Kingdom. It’s old things, let’s not talk about them, how are your parents doing recently? , wasn’t he exiled to the extreme north?”

Xiao Wenwen could tell that he was probably not welcome in the Nalan Mansion, and he was just fulfilling his parents' wish, so he cupped his hands and said, "My parents are fine, don't worry about Madam."

Mrs. Hou saw that Xiao Wen's words were neither close nor close, and she didn't want to say too much, so she asked, "I don't know if you are back in Shangjing this time, but do you have anything important to do?"

Madam Hou also understood in her heart that she couldn't let him stay in Shangjing.Just now, she also saw the letter, the letter to Nalan Gude.

When Xiao Qishan and Nalan Jude were young, they were married to Jinlan under the witness of their two families.At that time, there was a saying among the aristocratic families that Brother Jinlan was related by marriage.Qishan wrote this letter because he wanted his child to have a place to settle down.With the care of the Nalan family in Shangjing, there is no need to worry about the life of the children of the Xiao family, but the entire Nalan family can match Xiao Wendao well, only Nalan who has the "blood of the emperor phoenix" who practices Taoism at Efeng in Xiling Chanyi.Those who practice Taoism know the importance of talent in Taoism. The "Emperor Phoenix" bloodline is only compatible with the "Chisu" ancient bloodline of Shen Yu, the young palace lord of the "Xuanji Palace", one of the Nine Mountains and Immortal Mountains, who is only sixteen years old. , It is already the "top of the Xiaoyao list".Innate peak cultivation base, looking at the Three Realms, even Nalan Chanyi, the proud girl of heaven, is behind others.

Xiao Wenwen didn't know, but in just a short moment, this dignified Mrs. Hou thought so much.

"I came to Shangjing to practice Taoism, but because I was far away in the far north, and there was no master who could teach me Taoism, my father asked me to come back to Shangjing to seek Taoism." Xiao Wenwen said word by word, neither humble nor overbearing Looking at Mrs. Hou.

"Well, your father is very considerate. Shangjing's Taoist temples are all authentic Taoism. If you can really cultivate the Dao, it will be a waste of your father's painstaking efforts. However, the last two months are the time when the two races compete. It’s not yet the time for the Three Avenues to recruit students, so don’t be in a hurry, I’ll let someone arrange it after the competition is over, and your residence can be arranged.” Madam Hou said, looking at Xiao with a pair of wonderful eyes.

Xiao Wenwen replied: "The accommodation has been arranged. If General Nalan Jude comes back, he still hopes to go to the Xuelu in the old mansion of the poor family to make an announcement."

Xiao asked to salute, and Shi Shi ran out of General Nalan's mansion.When he came out, he saluted the guard at the door again.

At this time, Mrs. Hou said to Xiaolan, the maid beside her, "Let Jing Yu come here to see me."

Nalan Jingyu is Mrs. Hou's first child and the eldest son of Nalan's mansion.With the age of 25, the women in Nalan's mansion seem to dominate the men.

Nalan Jingyu saw Mrs. Hou hurriedly bowed down and called mother.With a slightly chubby figure and a round face, he looks like a rich man.

Madam Hou said to him, "Get up quickly. Jing Yu, I heard that you have taken another concubine."

A trace of doubts flashed across Nalan Jingyu's heart. My concubine and mother never cared. Why did I ask today, but he didn't dare to hesitate to answer: "Yes, it's the girl from Baihualou. Her name is Yuanwei. She is still here. Baihualou, we will only enter tomorrow."

Madam Hou said, "Take me to see her."

Nalan Jingyu was startled, mother is so interested, why would she go to Fengyuehualou.

But although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to Chunxue Tower to clear the place.

Baihualou is located in the outer square of the 36th square. The outer squares are all lived by poor families. Although they are all poor families, the outer squares are much more popular than the inner squares.

Baihualou is just one of the thousands of flower buildings in Shangjing, and it can be regarded as an upper-middle flower building in Shangjing.The girl who is trained is also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but there are endless streams of literati and poets.

It has only been half a year since Nalan Jingyun got this iris girl to come to this Chunxue Building.She was taken as a concubine by Nalan Jingyu.

Madam Hou looked at the young girl with cardamom years, icy muscles and fragrant cheeks, and she really felt pleasing to the eye, she was really a beauty.In a few years, she will definitely be a charming beauty.

Mrs. Hou said to the little girl: "From now on, you will call me mother."

When Nalan Jingyu heard these words, his heart almost jumped out of excitement.This is the first time my mother has expressed her affection for me as a concubine.

The iris girl hurriedly bowed down.Being able to enter Nalan General's Mansion, although her husband is not satisfactory, but Mrs. Nalan, if she comes to see her in person in this flower building where the man looks for flowers and asks Liu to have fun, she can have no dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Hou continued: "I asked you to call me mother, not because you want to marry Jing Yu, but because I am your mother. Your current name is "Nalan Dieyi", and you are cousins ​​with Nalan Chanyi." .Today, I will betroth you to a family, the Xiao family, who is a family friend of the Nalan family. Although the Xiao family is not prosperous, it is still a family friend of my Nalan family. Moreover, you cannot go to Nalan without my permission. Mansion, do you understand?"

Nalan Jingyu panicked when he heard it, and quickly called out: "Mother."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was stared back by Madam Hou's sharp eyes.

The young man redeemed by spending tens of thousands of taels of silver became someone else's daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Hou finally said to Nalan Jingyu: "Go and prepare a box of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, and ten baskets of pearls. This is the dowry of Nalan's family. From now on, you are not allowed to disturb them anymore. Let me know, the family law will serve you."

Nalan Jingyu had given up his mind at this time.

Madam Hou knew that there were only two things that could kill a person in this world, one was money and the other was sex.The things that can kill people with a knife are also these two kinds of money and sex.

Now, Xiao Wenwen has both.

The iris girl from the former Baihualou is now the lady of General Nalan's Mansion, and she has become a sister with "Nalan Chanyi", a generation of proud girls.

And now she is the wife of a man she has never met.

The old mansion of the poor family is the birthplace of the "poor family" that was in full swing in the past.Whether it is Tianwu's army or the court, nine out of ten are from the poor family, even the current queen Wang Zhuoer is from the poor family.

More than ten years ago, people from poor families could still say that if there were no poor families, there would be no new emperor now.

But now, things are different.It has long since lost the title of poor family.However, the poor family's old mansion still stayed like this.But it is still a place where the poor live, traffickers and pawns, ordinary people.

Shangjing, one hundred and eight squares.There are 36 inner squares and 72 outer squares.

Neifang 36 is also divided into inner, middle and outer workshops.

Waifang 72 is a big circle around Shangjing.

The old mansion of the humble family was on the outskirts of 72 Waifang, and when Xiao Wendao found the snow cottage of the humble family that his mother had mentioned, it was already dark.

A red sedan chair stopped in front of Xuelu's door. There were many people sitting in front of the sedan chair, and a well-armored soldier stood beside it.

The soldier was still holding the black donkey in his hand, but the black donkey had also changed a lot. There were still huge gold-like earrings on the donkey, and a bigger donkey was hanging around the donkey's neck. The big golden bell has a crisp and clear sound.

The soldier looked at Xiao Wendao and saluted and said loudly: "You are Mr. Xiao Wendao, right? Yishen will let you take his granddaughter-in-law to the brothel for a talk tomorrow morning, and you have to keep this black donkey. God will not live there. Here is another letter that God will ask me to deliver to you."

The soldier handed Xiao Wendao a letter, and on the envelope it was written "Went by Wendao's grandson."

Only the onlookers knew that this young man was actually the grandson of Wu Zun Yi Mubai, the number one general of Tianwu.

Xiao Wenwen pointed to the sedan chair again, and the soldier said, "Maybe this is your wife."

After the soldier finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Wenwen opened the car curtain and looked around.

At this time, Nalan Dieyi vaguely saw a heroic and extraordinary face through the red hijab, and before she could look carefully, she was hugged.

In Nalan Dieyi's heart at this time, it was as if she had eaten a mouthful of jujube honey, and her sweet heart trembled.

Xiao Wenwen didn't want people to crowd around like monkeys to watch the excitement.Simply, cut the mess quickly, picked up the person in the sedan chair, and walked into the snow cottage that was originally a thatched cottage.

Xiao Wenwen carried Nalan Dieyi into the room, and said, "You stand here first, and I'll clean it up."

Nalan Dieyi lifted the front curtain of the red hijab, looked at Xiao Wendao and said, "Clean the house, clean the court. This is a woman's job. Let me clean it, husband."

Xiao Wenwen pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, the two of you are always faster."

Nalan Dieyi said: "Then please husband, take off this hijab."

Xiao Wenwen walked up to her, smelled the faint orchid-like fragrance emanating from her body, and took off the red hijab with his hands.

At this moment, Nalan Dieyi could see Xiao Wendao's appearance clearly. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were like sword eyebrows and star eyes, and in his gentle and elegant scholarly atmosphere, there was also a bit of majestic aura of fighting on the battlefield, as if rebellious, like a soldier before a thousand troops. A majestic general.

Obviously, Nalan Dieyi was misled by a few words from the soldiers outside the door.

He has seen the battlefield, but he has never been on the battlefield.

Xiao asked but didn't know what the little girl was thinking and asked, "What's your name?"

Nalan Dieyi jumped up and said, "My name is Nalan Dieyi, and I'm a cousin of Nalan Chanyi."

Nalan Dieyi didn't know why he added the last sentence, maybe he was afraid that he would underestimate him, or maybe he wanted him to take him seriously because of Nalan Chanyi.Perhaps, there is also a trace of inferiority mixed in the emotions behind the pride.

Xiao asked "Yeah" and said, "My name is Xiao Wen. Let's tidy up the house first."

After the house was tidied up, he said to Nalan Dieyi: "There are two rooms here, you sleep in the inner one, and I sleep in the outer one."

Hearing what he said, Nalan Dieyi could only say "um", and went into the back room, and soon blew out the oil lamp in the back room.

It's not that Xiao Wenwen doesn't understand the meaning of "husband and wife".If she really became her husband, would she still be allowed to go to the Demon Race?

Xiao asked to look at the last quarter moon outside the window.On the first night in Sang Kyung, I suffered from insomnia.

Well, where the moon shines, who else can't sleep.

It is the parents and sister who miss Xiao Wendao because they are far away in the Snow Country of the Demon Race.

It's Nalan Dieyi, the newlywed jumping for joy.

Or Madam Hou who wanted to kill someone with a knife, or Nalan Jingyu who was deeply hurt.

Or, asked Xiao who didn't know what would happen tomorrow.

Perhaps, only the heart fell asleep.Only evil can be eliminated.
