Chapter 81

Lingzhou City,

The northern land is desolate and barren, but the land in Lingzhou is so fertile that it can compete with Jiangnan.

Among them, Yanzhi County is famous throughout Lingzhou for its rich beauty. For other young people from other counties that are close to Yanzhi County, if anyone is lucky enough to marry a Shui Ling girl from Yanzhi County, it will be a great joy that can be proud of for the rest of their lives.

There are many rich and powerful people in Rouge County, and there are countless famous families. Among the wealthy families, the Lu family and the Yang family are the leaders again.

It's cold in the north, and it's already late autumn. In the brightly lit Yang family's house, Yang Chenglin, the head of the Yang family, wore an expensive mink fur coat, and sat straight on a high-quality huanghuali wood chair. By candlelight, I was reading a letter repeatedly.

For a long time, Yang Chenglin pinched the corner of the letter with his right hand, put it on the candle and lit it, and did not let go of his right hand until the flame was about to touch his fingers.

The paper fell to the ground, leaving only ashes on the ground.

After whispering a few words to the butler Yang Wu who was standing by, Yang Wu saluted and left, and only Yang Chenglin was left in the study.

He just got the news that the young girl who ran away from home a month ago actually went to Jingzhou at this moment...

Rubbing his brows, Yang Chenglin smiled helplessly: "This girl is really worrying."

Yang Yingxi, the youngest daughter of the Patriarch of the Yang family, is a talented woman who is well-known throughout Lingzhou when she pees. The poem "Gan in the Cloud" she wrote when she was nine years old caused a huge sensation in the entire Lingzhou literary world, and is even recognized by the current Lingzhou literary giants. Song Laofuzi commented that he was a talented woman.

It's just that Yang Chenglin only has this one daughter, so he naturally regards this little daughter as the jewel in his palm, and he can be said to be extremely doting on her at ordinary times, which also cultivated Yang Yingxi's slightly rebellious temperament. No, he sneaked to Jingzhou a month ago while he was going to Saibei City in Youzhou.

...

How squeamish a galloping horse is.

Not long after Lin Xiu entered the city, two riders rode their horses galloping away on the post road. The two on the horses looked like handsome and handsome young men, which naturally aroused the constant amazement of passers-by.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the two got off their horses, and one of them, a young man who looked a little taller, led the horse and approached another young man who was more handsome.

The burly young man looked at the Xiongcheng in front of him, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he turned his head towards the handsome young man: "Miss, we left Lingzhou and came all the way to Jingzhou. What's the matter?"

The handsome young man with a folding fan in his hand closed the ivory fan that was worth a hundred gold in the Tianshui Dynasty, and immediately patted the burly young man on the forehead.

"Xiaoyun, how many times have I told you that you can't call me Miss, you have to call me Young Master!" Young Master Junyi gave the burly young man a look, but his tone was somewhat helpless.

This young son is none other than Yang Yingxi, the pearl of the Yang family who ran away from home in Lingzhou City, and the slightly burly young man is her personal maid, Xiaoyun.

I don't know where Yang Yingxi heard that it is best for a woman to change her appearance when walking in the Jianghu. If she can dress up as a man, it will be more convenient to act.

So after leaving the boundary of Yanzhi County, the two of them changed their current outfits, but the two of them were very lucky, and they didn't even encounter a group of thieves and thieves along the way, so they came to Jingzhou smoothly .

"When I was in Yanzhi County, I often heard people mention the name of Jingzhou fairy Su Youji, saying that she is so beautiful that no one in the world can match her. This time when I go out, I just want to come and see if she is worthy of the name." Yang Yingxi With a straight face.

Speaking of this, how could Xiaoyun not understand? This is my young lady's desire to be competitive. As the saying goes that women are jealous, it is true that these two people are thousands of miles away, and they can attract my own lady to travel across mountains and rivers to find out Su Youji's true face on Lushan Mountain.

However, Xiaoyun didn't think that Yang Yingxi would be inferior to that fairy of the Su family. She grew up with Yang Yingxi when she urinated. Although the two were master and servant in name, they were actually like sisters. For so many years, every time Yang Yingxi became famous in the north of the Tianshui Dynasty, she was the first witness. Don't mention literary talent, just look, Yang Yingxi is also famous in the north.

Just when Xiaoyun was about to say something, he saw that Yang Yingxi had jumped on the horse again, and his movements were smooth and smooth. People who didn't know the details might really regard him as a young handsome man in the world.

Xiaoyun had no choice but to climb on the horse's back, and then the two slowed down their horses and began to walk around Jingzhou City.

As for this Yang Yingxi, she is also a strange woman, although she was born in a wealthy family in Yanzhi County, but she can't see the arrogance of a rich daughter in her body. There were even rumors that this talented girl, at the age of ten, asked Yang Chenglin, who was the director of Yanzhi County, to learn swords.

Yang Chenglin couldn't resist his precious daughter's stubbornness, so he invited an old swordsman who was still somewhat famous in Lingzhou to come to his house to teach him how to practice swords.

Maybe it's God's preference for Yang Yingxi on Cai Cai. In the past few years, although Yang Yingxi studied hard every day, she still couldn't enter the elegant hall of swordsmanship. She only learned some fancy swordsmanship that is not very practical. People are okay, but if they really practice, how can they be described as unsightly?

After so many years of cultivation, his cultivation base is only in the middle stage of blood refinement.

This time walking the rivers and lakes, Yang Yingxi didn't have the desire to meet some real masters of the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that these days, the two knights have met a lot in martial arts competitions, but although Yang Yingxi has no real skills, she still has a good eye. Naturally, it can be seen that those so-called elites are far stronger than her . If she is really allowed to fight those rangers, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

Over time, that thought faded away.

After arriving in the downtown area, the two jumped off their horses again, first they found an inn at random, gave the clerk some broken silver, and told him to take good care of the two horses brought out from the Yang Mansion, and then went out to shop.

The customs and customs of Lingzhou City are quite different from those of Jingzhou City, like some odd and clever little objects on the street, which opened the eyes of Yang Yingxi and Xiaoyun even more.

The two had carefully planned their escape to Yanzhi County for a long time this time, and they had plenty of wealth. When they saw some rare items, they simply bought them all.

In less than half an hour, the two of them were covered with all kinds of "toys", and each of them held a bunch of candied haws in their hands.

After biting off a hawthorn, and pretending to be chic, Yang Yingxi tossed the headband to tie her hair. Yang Yingxi said, "Xiao Yun, let me ask you whether your son is handsome or not?"

But before Xiao Yun opened her mouth to flatter her, the toy on Yang Yingxi's body fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Xiaoyun pretended to be nonchalant, and looked at other places. It wasn't that she didn't want to help pick up the things, but that her own young lady had never been embarrassed since she was so old. If she came forward to help, the young lady pointed out Not sure how embarrassing it would be.

Just when Yang Yingxi was a little dazed, a young man at the booth next to him noticed this scene, the young man smiled slightly, walked directly to Yang Yingxi's side, and said with a light smile, "What is this brother standing there for? Let’s pick up everything quickly.”

After finishing speaking, this weird young man who was carrying a big sword in broad daylight first bent down to help pick up the things scattered all over the floor.

When Yang Yingxi came to her senses, the young man had already held everything in her hands and handed the things back to Yang Yingxi. The young man said goodbye and disappeared into the crowd.

Yang Yingxi, who was standing there, had a reddish face at the moment, and if she looked closely, she was extremely pretty. Except for my father, no man has ever touched me before, but when I took the things just now, the palms of the two touched lightly.

However, she doesn't seem to be bothered.

The corner of her mouth slightly raised, Yang Yingxi murmured: "What a strange fellow."

...

It is said that Lin Xiu quickly disappeared in the crowd after helping that brother who was obviously as inexperienced as himself to pick up things.

We met by chance and laughed it off.

Because he was far away from Guiyuanzong, he didn't worry that the Wangjiang sword would be exposed, so he carried the sword on his back directly.

Seeing the sky gradually darken and the number of people on the streets of Jingzhou City not decreasing, this reminded Lin Xiu of Huaining City.

Youyou sighed, and then stopped thinking about it, some things can't be solved by just thinking about it.

Reading thousands of books is nothing like traveling thousands of miles. The stops and stops along the way really gave Lin Xiu, a carefree young man who originally lived in Huaining City, a taste of the vicissitudes of life and the impermanence of the world.

The world is warm and cold, and people know themselves.

As early as when he was still in Huaining City, he only saw the size of one-third of an acre of land in his eyes. Intimidated by the majesty of the Lin family, basically everyone had a kind face in front of him. How could he tell the difference between real and fake?

Although he was once ridiculed by some people in the family, but those people have a degree after all, how can it compare to this real struggle in the world of mortals?

For some reason, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered what Lu Mingyuan said to him when he was still on the mountain.

Lu Mingyuan told him that after crossing the East China Sea, there is another realm where people don't recognize zodiac signs, but constellations.

In the zodiac signs, Aquarius people are the most entangled. They can often figure out most of other people's thoughts, but in reality they can only see through but not explain it. So, ah, ordinary is true, simple is a blessing.

Shaking his head, Lin Xiu stopped thinking about other things, went back to the inn where he was temporarily staying, found a seat by the window, ordered two small dishes at random, and just admired the myriad of beings outside the window.

It was the meal time right now, and the inn's business was booming, and it was almost impossible to find a vacant seat. A group of rich young men dressed in silk and satin and swords got off their horses outside the inn, and the horses stepped into the inn.

One of the sons from a rich family was probably a general seed boy. He pressed his hands tightly on the scabbard, made a gesture of drawing his sword, then glanced coldly at everyone in the inn, and said arrogantly: "Why don't you all get out of here? Didn’t you see that our brothers are going to eat? If you don’t get out in ten breaths, let me tell you, you won’t be able to go back today.”

The arrogant young master relied on his father being a powerful existence in Jingzhou, so it is easy to do things like bullying men and women, let alone just chasing people down in restaurants.

Just when he was about to show off his "ability", a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Everyone, you eat your food, my brother is joking with you, please don't take it seriously."

The one who spoke was a young man with an unattractive appearance, but the young man's eyebrows and eyes looked quite good. A group of people were vaguely looking forward to him. After he spoke, even the arrogant boy who shouted before obediently shut his mouth, and even took a step back without anyone knowing it, just to highlight the young man.

It is said that the disciples of Jiangmen only know how to punish evil and do evil, but this ability to observe words and demeanor is also a technical job.

It's like many people complaining about their bad background, but even if they are reincarnated and get a fortune as a young man, they may not be able to keep it. Knowing how to flatter and flatter horses, in short, it is not easy to be a human being.

Just after the young son's voice fell, several guests in the inn near the window got up one after another, and then took the initiative to walk to the side of the young master, and clapped their fists.

One of the oldest old men took a step forward, pointed to their original positions by the window, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, the old men just happen to have something to do at home, and it just so happens that there is room for you." position."

"Then thank you, Mr. Lin. If you have time, Su Yun will definitely visit you at your house." The young son Su Yun also said politely.

"Then wait for Mr. Su." After finishing speaking, Master Lin left with a few business partners.

Several wealthy sons looked at this scene with a bit of arrogance. Didn't they see that Lin Anzhi, the well-known God of Wealth in Jingzhou, wanted to buy their face?

When a few people were seated, it was a little crowded because of the large number of them.

That arrogant young man set his sights on the young man on the table in front of them.

He was about to speak, but was stopped by the young master named Su Yun with his eyes.

"Hong Xiuwen, don't make trouble, sit down."

Laughing embarrassingly twice, the arrogant young brother who had been placed with great expectations by his parents shrugged helplessly and sat down again.

Su Yun got up and walked to Lin Xiu's side, and then said softly, "Brother, unfortunately there are a lot of people on our side, why don't you join us at a table and let everyone make do?"

Witnessing the previous scenes, Lin Xiu was not too interested in the senses of these wealthy children in Jingzhou, and his voice was a little cold at the moment.

"Sorry, I'm used to being alone, and I'm really not used to being with you."

After hearing what he said, Su Yun was fine. He still had that gentle look, but the faces of the officials and children sitting behind all turned dark. In this Jingzhou capital city, there are still people who dare not give the city lord's attention. Only son face? Even if someone said aloud: "Boy, don't be shameless. If you don't know how to flatter, I have plenty of ways to keep you out of the inn."

This time Su Yun didn't say anything, just watched with cold eyes, wanting to see how Lin Xiu would react next.

"Oh? Then I have to wait and see." Lin Xiu said lightly.

"Brother, I can hear your accent, so you shouldn't be from Jingzhou, right?" Su Yun looked at Lin Xiu.

"That's right, I'm not from Jingzhou, not even from the Tianshui Dynasty." Lin Xiu replied.
