Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I do n’t know why, or it may be because the autumn of Shu land was originally overcast and rainy. Since we left the Yan family, the weather has not been sunny for two days, and it has been almost rainy and continuous. We walked for a month.

By the time the Sanjiangkou was reached, it had already entered October.

The weather is getting cold.

Fortunately, before leaving the Yan family, Yan Qingchen had already prepared us for winter clothes. Pei Yuanxiu and I both put on the jacket, and the children also changed into beautiful little sister-in-law, dark red satin It made her skin whiter and softer and more beautiful.

But this pleasant person has a dull expression.

The tooth she had lost had already grown, but on the way out of the river, she lost two more in a row. Although she knew that it would grow out soon, she still couldn't restore her depression. Often for a few hours in a row, she didn't say a word, and when she opened her mouth again, her mouth was stuffy.

At this moment, she bent her knees against the window and sat on the cushion, rubbing a small object in her hand, I took a closer look. It was the delicate purse that Mrs. Yan threw at her when she left the house.

The contents were already taken out, an empty purse, which she still kept.

In fact, as soon as she got on the car, she opened the purse, but she was frightened by herself. She was speechless for a long time. I looked at it and was frightened.

I don't know what Mrs. Yan thought, but she had stuffed a full forty red banknotes in it.

Even if Pei Yuanxiu and I didn't bother, the money would be enough for her life, and she could prepare a dowry by the way.

Then I remembered her words--

Daughter's house, be rich ...

No wonder she wants to say that.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile a little, Mrs. Yan and I were not able to settle. After all, some knots in my heart were not untied, and some knots in her heart were not so easy to untie, but at least she did not unlock the previous generation The grudges are counted on Lier's head and fair to my daughter. This is already the best step we can take.

I collected the money. Of course, I do n’t have to spend my money on Li Er, and I do n’t have to rely on her father, but Li Er does n’t seem to care about this, so I concentrate on rubbing the little purse. Inside are the two teeth she dropped this time.

I thought she was still worried about her beauty and ugliness, and was about to comfort her, but she just reached out and embraced her little shoulders, and the carriage stopped before she could speak.

Both of us shook for a moment, and I hurriedly reached out to embrace her.

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at us and then opened the curtain and jumped down. I listened to the movement outside, as if the convoy stopped, and many people got out of the carriage, but after a while, Pei Yuanxiu went to the window and raised a corner of the curtain to We said, "Here it is."

Arrived?

To Sanjiangkou.

After walking for so many days, we were all fainted by the wagon. As soon as Li Er heard about it, he immediately got up with hands and feet, looked out the window, and I looked out. Sure enough, I saw that the surrounding scenery was different from the previous mountain road. The avenue was smooth and smooth, and there were mostly house fairs on both sides, and it was lively.

Even the smell of the thick river water in the air was already felt.

Lie's spirit was also refreshed, and she was about to look out. Suddenly, she retracted quickly.

I was a little embarrassed. When I looked out, I saw the carriage behind us. Liu Qinghan was getting off with Wen Fengxi. He moved his stiff neck and looked exactly at us. When the eyes met, he and I both froze, he immediately turned his head to look at the other side, and I frowned slightly, when I looked down, Lier had pouted, and narrowed in the corner, as if I also have ugly hands and ugly feet.

I could not help frowning.

Although I have been listening to Pei Yuanxiu, I also believe that, naturally, her little thoughts will gradually fade away with time, but for so long, I haven't seen her have any ideas The idea of ​​getting away.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little heavy, but still patiently said, "Lier, we're here, get out of the car."

She raised her head and looked at me with a pitiful look.

On this way, we spend most of our time in our respective cars. Even if we stay at night, we naturally live separately according to their respective forces. She and Liu Qinghan naturally have less time to meet. But now, it is inevitable.

I got out of the carriage and raised the curtain to look at her: "Hurry up."

"..."

She pursed her lips and finally moved slowly, holding my hand and jumping off the carriage.

This is a village and town closest to the Sanjiangkou Wharf. It is a small place, but it is an important transportation hub between Shudi and other places, so it is very prosperous and has a large population.

It's not too late, just after the deadline, but everyone took a long time in the car, and they were very tired, so they decided to take a break here.

The servants immediately opened the way for us, and after a while, they found a fairly clean restaurant in the town. We went in a group of people, and the boss also had some eyesight. When Pei Yuanxiu was dressed, they were not ordinary guests. Come and welcome us to a private room by the window on the second floor.

I rushed all the way these days and ate all dry food. Even in a place where people smoke, I can eat hot soup and rice, it is definitely not enjoyable. Everyone will inevitably be a little bitter, and the men are even more alcoholic, so order After talking about the best dishes here, we chatted a few words. After a while, the curtains on the door burst open, and two young women with colorful colors came in with the dishes.

"Several guests, wait a long time."

"This is the first-class spicy beef made by the shop, so please enjoy it."

"And this pepper chicken, the specialty of the shop!"

...

While they were serving, they introduced them enthusiastically. When the wine and dishes were all served, everyone looked at each other after they quit.

For a long time, Wu Yanqiu laughed and said, "I also saw a woman in a restaurant as a shop second person for the first time."

"Yes."

"They are really not afraid of people."

Everyone laughed and started to drink and eat vegetables. I also clipped Lier a little dish to her plate, and then laughed: "Actually this is nothing in Xichuan. The women in Xichuan are hot, most of them are their heads. In addition, this is a small business, and the boss is probably not afraid of others. "

"It seems to be true." Wu Yanqiu said as he looked down from the window. There were also many sesame oil shops and tofu shops on the street. You could see women standing at counters, even selling fish from the river. Most of them are shouting and buying.

He laughed: "Everyone says that Nishikawa is a daughter country, and this is true."

"Yeah." I smiled and looked at Liu Qinghan on the side, and said, "When Master Liu entered the river last time, didn't he also lament that there are so many beauties in Xichuan. Is it too early to make love?"

As soon as this word came out, the people at the table froze.

Liu Qinghan also froze, looked at me suddenly, as if surprised at how suddenly I "betrayed" him, but looked down at a little changed face around me, and immediately understood.

He smiled in embarrassment, but was still very good at it: "What's wrong with my wife, I'll mention it again."

"..."

"However, my lady, gentleman is very good. This is what the Book of Songs says. The ancients still regard it as elegant.

As he said this, the men naturally understood, everyone laughed and raised their glasses, and the matter naturally passed.

But Lier, beside me, buried her head even lower.

We all drank and drank, and when we left the restaurant, twilight came.

People in remote towns often turn off the lights early. At this time, the streets that were still busy are like a person who has fallen asleep after a busy day. There are only a few pawnshops in the restaurant that are still closed, and red lanterns shaking at the door. There was a touch of warmth.

Under our feet, there are elongated shadows that, as our steps shake, appear mottled and messy.

At this moment, Xiao Yusheng, who had been quiet and silent, suddenly made a "um" sound, stopped and turned to look around.

It was dark at night.

We all looked at him strangely.

He rarely talked along the way. When we were talking and laughing, he rarely participated. He just sat aside with a faint smile, as if it had nothing to do with our group of people, and since I knew his killing After the mad brother's affairs, he was quite taboo, and there was not much to say.

But at this time, everyone's attention was noticed by his actions.

Du Yan immediately stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yusheng didn't say anything, still looking at the dark night.

The people around him were immediately alert.

Among our group of people, it is not modest to say that no one is cheap. The head of any one person is worth at least a thousand dollars in the hostile forces. For Pei Yuanxiu and Liu Qinghan, Xichuan is a dragon-tan tiger cave, even if Yan Qing Chen's failure to deal with them does not mean that there are no other people who are hostile to the court and Jiangnan.

not to mention--

I looked at Pei Yuanxiu, and his expression immediately became dignified.

When I was in Jixiang Village, that arrow that almost killed him!

That was definitely something he couldn't forget until now, and more importantly, the black hands behind the scenes have not appeared until now. At that time, that man had spent so much effort to assassinate Pei Yuanxiu, even at the expense of lurking near my home for almost a year. If he knew that the target he was going to kill was still alive, would he repeat his tricks?

Not just him, Wen Fengxi also pushed Liu Qinghan behind him.

Thinking of this, everyone's breathing became tense.

Xiao Yusheng stood still, our breathing was short, but his breathing was long and even, and on such a silent night, it became very clear.

I suddenly realized that he was using the vomiting technique of Xishan College.
