The Female Partner is the Most Beautiful, But the Male Lead is Not Worthy
Chapter 21: Host tool 3
From Hanzhou to Suzhou, the distance is not far, but more than 500 miles, and you can arrive on the same day.
However, Shaoyin didn't plan to hurry. If they saw her returning home in a chaotic manner, her father and brother must have thought that something had happened.
Although it is true, there is no need to scare people as soon as they come up.
She rode on a horse, advancing at a comfortable pace.
The spring breeze is blowing, and both sides of the official road are full of fresh green.
The terrain in the southeast is flat. Looking around, the area is vast, and I only feel that my mind is much wider.
This body is very familiar with the horse's back, and it is easy to eat and drink with closed eyes, so Shaoyin relaxes and lets his thoughts scatter.
Father and brother are guarding in Suzhou, and outside Suzhou is the boundary of Beirong. In recent years, the two armies have frequently rubbed against each other, and small battles have continued, but the war has not been provoked.
That is, Xiao Hanyu secretly ordered Shen Junan to make him interfere, secretly create a conspiracy, intensify the friction between the two sides, and gradually evolved into an out of control.
Then, he deliberately passed on wrong information and delayed the military plane, causing half of the 200,000 Liang army to be folded in, and her brother was also killed in the battle.
At present, the secret letter written by Xiao Hanyu himself has not been delivered to Shen Junan, but he does not need to worry about the safety of his father and brother. Thinking like this, she hurried on her way more and more leisurely, and stopped at a city in the middle of the afternoon.
She carried some broken silver on her body, enough for her to stay in the shop, and then go to the restaurant for a meal.
"Come to the room." She walked to the counter and raised her chin towards Xiao Er.
Xiao Er sang: "Okay, wait a moment."
Shaoyin held the whip and waited in front of the counter. Yu Guang glanced around inadvertently.
Most of the people who live in the shop are men, but there are also women. It's just that she is the only young woman walking alone like her, and most of her father, brother, and husband accompany her.
However, no one looked at her strangely.
Daliangchao's restraint on women is not strict, and the atmosphere can be regarded as open. A young and gentle woman, walking outside is not a big deal. It's just that people who are more careful will cover their faces with a veil so that they are not seen by ordinary passers-by.
Shaoyin did not cover her face with a veil. Not only did he not hide, but he stood upright. He was dressed in a fierce red shirt, with a bright face and a generous face, his chin was slightly raised, and he looked rather arrogant.
As the only daughter of General Ji, Miss Ji grew up in the army. The atmosphere in Suzhou is more open than in the mainland. What men can do, women can also do it. She speaks loudly, and rolls up her sleeves neatly. Do things, never hide anything.
Being generous is not a bad habit, Shaoyin thinks it is good.
While she was looking at her surroundings, there were also people watching her.
The guard behind him was alert, and immediately looked at the man, his eyes warning.
Shaoyin naturally noticed it too. Taking the sign handed by Xiao Er, he raised his head at will and looked upward: "What are you looking at?"
Mr. Hui has been silent for a while, and now he said, "Look at you."
Shaoyin was funny, she ignored it, and just looked at the young man leaning on the railing on the left side of the second floor.
The man was about twenty-three or four, tall and tall, wearing a white brocade and moiré robe, fair complexion, and good temperament. At first glance, he was raised by a wealthy family.
He was born with a pair of slender phoenix eyes, thin lips and bright red. He was obviously affectionate and charming, but he was forced to make a smiling, approachable, and amiable expression.
At this moment, being discovered by the master, he didn't panic, put the folding fan he was holding on his back waist, and bowed to Shaoyin: "I have seen you, miss."
Then introduce yourself.
He was a trader, from the wealthy firm, and sold spices, gems, and more. It was because she came in with a group of guards, with a generous bearing and beautiful appearance. The guards behind her were all strong and strong. She was supposed to be from a big family, so she wanted to do her business.
"I'm not interested." After listening to his introduction, Shao Yin said without thinking.
Spices, gems, it's all about tasteful people. Miss Ji, the daughter of the general, is only interested in fighting.
Lift your feet upstairs.
The wooden stairs creaked underfoot.
"I don't know what the young lady is interested in?" Su Yinian was rejected by her, showing no signs of annoyance and still smiling.
He took out the folding fan from the back of his waist, held it in his hand again, played it with great skill, and took two steps closer to the stairs, looked at her with a smile on his face, and said confidently: "Our Fengyu store is all over the beam, and the news is Well-informed and rich in goods, if the lady is interested in anything, you might as well talk about it."
This must be her business.
Shaoyin raised her brows slightly, stepped up the last stairs, stood at the same level as him, and looked at him.
Looking at it, I realized that he was very tall.
Not only is he tall, but the elegant and thin white brocade robe also covers the strong and powerful muscles on his body. Makes him look polite and not in the slightest threatening.
She was a little interested now, stroked the long whip in her hand, looked at him, and said slowly, "I want a long knife."
The little girl can play with the whip outside, which is majestic enough. But on the battlefield, the whip is not enough.
"The material should be made of high-quality stainless steel, the blade should be thick, don't be afraid of sinking, it is best not to be too wide, the sharper the blade, the better." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at him: "Can you find it?"
She asks, better than none at all. What's more, she asked so meticulously, obviously she really wanted it.
Su Yinian's smile suddenly brightened, and he nodded hurriedly: "Of course. I don't know the young lady's name and where she lives. How can I get this long knife to the young lady's house?"
After Shaoyin heard it, he touched the package.
She originally wanted to give him a famous post, but unfortunately, when she came out of Chen Wangfu, she never expected to meet someone, so she didn't bring it with her.
"After you find it, send it to General Ji's mansion in Suzhou." She said instead.
As for giving him an ornament with a mark on his body as a door-to-door token, Shaoyin didn't even think about it. That kind of thing that can represent her identity cannot be given easily. If it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it is hard to say what kind of trouble it will cause.
Anyway, the General's Mansion is not a family that bullies others. When he speaks out, he will be questioned carefully, and then let him in.
When Su Yinian heard the address she reported, her eyes flickered, and her attitude became more attentive: "Yes, I will remember it next time."
"Yeah." Shaoyin nodded to him, then distinguished the direction and walked to the other side of his room.
Su Yinian didn't take the liberty to catch up, but said behind her, "I must find the knife that Miss wants as soon as possible."
Shaoyin ignored it, walked to the door of her room, pushed open the door and entered.
The room was very clean, she glanced at it, threw the package on the table, sat down and poured water.
The guards were placed by her in the common room downstairs.
Don't ask her why, just ask her boss.
After a little rest, the sky is still bright outside, and now is the time when the day is long. Shaoyin was full of energy, so she didn't plan to stay in the room, she hung her purse around her waist, picked up her long whip, and went outside.
As soon as they came downstairs, the guards followed.
"Go out to eat." Shaoyin explained the itinerary.
The guards dutifully followed behind.
This was sent by General Ji to keep her safe.
Suzhou and Hanzhou are separated by hundreds of miles. The old father was worried and told them not to listen to anyone, but to listen to the young lady. That's why the guards called her, never "Princess", but "Miss".
However, thinking about what happened to them in the original plot...
Shaoyin's eyes dimmed. The script doesn't mention them at all, not a single word. But in the end, Miss Ji died, General Ji was "suddenly killed after drinking", the Ji family was beheaded up and down, and they were exiled.
"Go and find out, which restaurant is delicious." She said to a guard behind her.
The guard replied "yes" and left.
Shaoyin walked around the street leisurely with her hands behind her back.
Turning a corner, by coincidence, I met Su Yinian again.
He had already changed his clothes, and now he was wearing a sapphire blue robe, which made him more handsome and handsome, without any annoying smell of copper.
"What a coincidence." He also saw Shaoyin, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to Shaoyin.
Shaoyin nodded and said lightly, "It's a coincidence."
"Where are you going, miss?" Su Yinian asked, his eyes swept over her, he guessed something, his smile became more real, and he asked with concern, "I wonder if Miss can find a place to eat dinner. If not, why don't Su Mou be the host, please, Miss Xiangmanlou's drunken chicken?"
He has been on this business road for many years, and he is too familiar with it. When it comes to eating, drinking, and playing, he certainly knows better than Shaoyin.
Shaoyin is not worried that he deliberately finds a bad restaurant to pit her. The whip in her hand is not a vegetarian, so she nodded: "Okay."
"Miss, please." Su Yinian warmly led the way.
Just after a few steps, the guard sent out to inquire about the news came back. Seeing Su Yinian by his side, he frowned.
Then he came to Shaoyin to report: "Miss, my subordinates have inquired that there is a Xiangmanlou in this city with a good reputation."
What I told Su Yinian was one thing.
Shaoyin nodded: "Let's go there."
Next to him, Su Yinian guessed what happened, and the smile on his face became more real: "Xiangmanlou has been here for a hundred years, and the chef in charge has some origins. The praise is still the drunken chicken…”
He is very talkative.
There was no need for Shaoyin to speak at all, and one person took over the process of asking and answering questions. And the connection is smooth, until the restaurant, Shaoyin listened with relish.
"Young Master Su, let's have a cup of tea." After taking a seat in the elegant room upstairs, Shaoyin tapped his chin, indicating that he should pour water for himself to moisten his throat.
Su Yinian followed his kindness and put the folding fan aside. He held the teapot with his long, slender fingers, poured a cup for Shaoyin first, then poured another cup for himself, and said with a smile, "The chrysanthemum tea in this building is also very good. The fragrance is light and elegant, which is different from the ones sold outside.”
Shaoyin picked up the teacup and didn't rush to drink it, she laughed first: "Fengyu Firm invested in Xiangmanlou?"
Hearing this, Su Yinian's eyes flashed with surprise, then shook his head and smiled: "That's not true." After a pause, "My seventh uncle has a concubine room, but it has something to do with the owner of Xiangmanlou."
Shaoyin was a little surprised: "Concubine?"
Xiangmanlou is a restaurant, and Fengyu is just a merchant. When it comes to identity, no one is more noble than the other, so why are you willing to be a concubine?
At this time, she no longer felt that Su Yinian's good words about Xiangmanlou were for her own benefit. As soon as the guards inquired about the news, Xiangmanlou's reputation was good. Second, his seventh uncle's concubine, this relationship is too far away, and it is not worthy of him.
"It's not a good thing, don't stain the ears of the young lady." Su Yinian said no more, and instead invited her to eat while it was hot, and introduced the places worth visiting here, and asked her, "I don't know Miss. How long will you stay here?"
"Let's go early tomorrow." Shaoyin said, tasted a sip of pigeon soup, and it really tasted good.
Su Yinian's eyes were a little regretful: "I hope to see Miss again in the future."
He didn't even know her name, or even her surname, so he couldn't forget her.
Really can talk.
Shaoyin likes sweet mouths and can talk, and immediately said: "When you find a long knife that satisfies me, I will reward you in person."
"Then please wait for my good news, Miss." Su Yinian said confidently.
After dinner, the two went downstairs.
When checking out, it was Shaoyin who paid for it.
Eldest Miss never spends other people's money, only invites others to dinner.
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Su Yinian said helplessly and honorably, "Since that's the case, Su will thank Miss for the hospitality."
Only a few guards cast unhappy glances at him.
In their eyes, this merchant's slick tongue is a little white face who cheats to eat and drink. Also, they have evidence!
Shaoyin didn't seem to notice, and after leaving the restaurant, she wandered on the road to digest food.
Su Yinian traveled all over the country and saw a lot of things. What he said casually was an interesting story worth listening to.
Shaoyin listened to him chatting and passing the time.
Just by accident, halfway through, he met an acquaintance and called him away.
"I'm really sorry." He looked at Shaoyin apologetically and said, "It was Su who was not well entertained. Next time Miss comes here, Su must be well entertained."
Shaoyin didn't care, and waved to him: "It's okay, go ahead."
Only then did Su Yinian bow his hands and follow the acquaintance.
"Miss, don't be deceived by him." After walking out for a while, one of the guards couldn't hold back and said a sentence.
After eating and drinking, he left, paying only lip service. In the eyes of the guards, Su Yinian was a liar.
Shaoyin laughed, didn't explain anything, nodded: "I know."
She invited Su Yinian to have a meal, and she spent a total of eight taels of silver, but she heard a lot of valuable news, and it was worth it.
Su Yinian just thought she was an eldest young lady who didn't know the hardships, and she only talked about strange things, but he wanted to seek the truth and gain her trust, and all of them had names and surnames.
Which city, which son, which young lady, what kind of trouble did it cause, how many people died, how was it disabled, how did this grievance get rid of, and so on.
He speaks ups and downs, no worse than a storyteller. At first glance, it sounds like a story. But after careful analysis, it is not difficult to see that the life of today's people is not easy. The oppression and exploitation of the common people by the tyrants in various places is outrageous.
And even if Su Yinian hid well, she could see it, and he hated it. It's just that there is no way. The reason is probably that his status in the main family is not high, but he is a concubine of a side branch. Even if he has the intention to do something, he is not capable enough.
He was helpless and could only speak sarcastically to vent his anger and dissatisfaction. Shaoyin felt that he could use it to persuade the old man.
When today is drowsy and slack in the governance of the world, Xiao Hanyu replaced him in the script, and he easily settled down.
But Shaoyin didn't plan to send him to the throne. Her old father worked and worked hard, so why bother making wedding clothes for others? To be an emperor, do it yourself.
However, he suddenly said that he was going to rebel, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the test. He always considered himself a loyal minister. And if it is for the people of the world, not for his own selfishness, he will slowly shake if he thinks about it.
Shaoyin held her hands behind her back and walked all the way back to the inn.
After resting for one night, we set off the next day and hurried to Suzhou.
The elder brother was in the military camp and didn't come back, there was only an old plan in the house. He is of medium stature, not burly, wearing coarse cloth shoes, and his hair is fastened with Jingchai, like an ordinary old man on the street.
At this moment, carrying a wooden birdcage, he is strolling in the courtyard.
"Yinyin? Why are you back?" Old Ji was very surprised when he saw his daughter, his eyes were sharp like an eagle, and he scanned her up and down.
At this time, there is the power of a general that makes Bei Rong stunned. He looked at his daughter again, but he didn't see any grievances, the sharp eyes disappeared, and he turned into an ordinary old man again, and asked, "What happened?"
"It's a good thing, it's a bad thing." Shaoyin threw the package to the little maid, took the old trick's arm, pulled him to sit on the stone bench, and then took out the secret letter and handed it over.
Lao Ji reached out to pick it up: "What is it?"
"Father, I'm not joking with you." When Shaoyin was about to take it, he withdrew his hand and looked serious, "This is a serious matter!"
The old plan didn't take it seriously at first, but he was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was also solemn: "Okay, let Dad see, what is the terrible event?"
He has lived for decades, and has experienced countless storms. He does not know how many dead souls under his command. His head has been chopped off several times, and his intestines have flowed out twice, not to mention other fatal injuries.
In his eyes, nothing really matters. Unless Daliang is about to die, the emperor he loyally assists is a bastard, regardless of the life and death of the people in the world, there is famine everywhere, people have no way to live, and starve to die everywhere.
But this is not possible. Although we don't talk about national prosperity and peace, the people can still live on. Although the emperor is not wise and strong enough, there are still several officials in the court who are worried about the people.
Then this can't be a big deal.
However, since his daughter said so, he also made a solemn appearance and opened the envelope.
Shaking off the letter, he looked at it seriously.
At first, it was serious. But as he looked back, the seriousness he pretended to be turned into rage, and the palm holding the letter couldn't stop shaking.
The blue veins on the back of his hands burst out, and the little old man in rough clothes and cloth shoes that looked ordinary just now, at this moment, his aura leaked out, and the invisible killing intent poured out, like a **** of war coming to the world.
"Bastard!"
The old general who has been loyal all his life and sprinkled his life and blood on the battlefield is so angry at this moment that he can't form any words in his mind, but subconsciously spit out two weak words: "Beast!"
"Why is he like this?!"
The old general couldn't understand, and his face was startled and angry.
Xiao Hanyu's letter is well written.
It was clearly seen that he wanted to start a war between Daliang and Beirong at all costs.
There will never be any misunderstanding - he is a descendant of the royal family, he has excellent literary quality, and his wording is quite precise, and it is impossible to misunderstand a single word.
It's just that, in the end, it was the first letter, and he didn't write the reason or the follow-up.
"Father, keep your strength, don't break it." Seeing that he had finished reading, Shaoyin went to rescue the letter.
The old trick has not recovered, and at this moment, he stomped this secret letter full of dirty calculations under his feet, and had plans to grind it into mud: "What? Can't tear it up?"
Shaoyin retrieved the secret letter, folded it carefully, and put it back in the envelope. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with an astonishing coolness: "What did you tear it up for? This is the evidence."
