Chapter 18 The Marquis of Wuchang enters Beijing
The sunset in Beijing is still very beautiful.
Strictly speaking, today is the first time Xu Yan and Lin Youqing go out for fun after getting married.
After looking around in Xu Qianan's store, Xu Yan said goodbye and left. However, he had no intention of returning to the palace and wanted to stroll around on the street.
I have been staying in the study for the past few days and I feel a little bored. I want to take this opportunity to come out for some air.
There is a curfew in Dayu, which will start around eight o'clock in the evening.
And now the evening on Zhuque Street is the busiest time of the day.
The vendors on the street, the passing merchants and the slow-moving horse-drawn carriages make the dusk on Zhuque Street very beautiful.
Occasionally, there are a few blond and blue-eyed foreign businessmen passing by, chattering in unintelligible words. When they encounter suitable products, they will bargain with locals on the street in broken Chinese.
Sometimes when he gets impatient, he can't help but say "horse's fake". Yu Min will also reply: "grass mud horse", which is very market-like.
Although the two sides were scolding each other, neither would make the first move, and the patrol officers on Zhuque Street would not tolerate them. If they were caught, Foreigner would be directly sentenced to a felony regardless of the reason, while Yu Min would be fined money.<
/p>
Although the penalties are different, money is hard-earned, and no one will have trouble with it.
The unique self-confidence of the people of the Celestial Dynasty. They not only have a sense of superiority that regards all foreign countries as barbarians, but also have the ambition to accommodate all ethnic groups to come to the dynasty.
Shangjing is worthy of being the first capital in the world in the book.
"Your Highness, how do you like this hairpin? I think it will look great on the princess's head!"
Mu Xue held several hairpins, raised them high, and asked Xu Yan behind her.
There were so many, Xu Yan didn't know which one she was asking about, so he could only reply casually: "They all look good!"
Xu Yan was helpless. Every time Mu Xue came out, she would act like a happy duck, wandering around and yelling endlessly, which gave Xu Yan a headache.
Lin Youqing, who was beside her, did not run around like Mu Xue. She followed Xu Yan closely, looking a little panicked, for fear that she would get lost if she couldn't keep up.
This is what social fear is like!
Xu Yan could only walk as slowly as possible. He originally wanted to reach out and pull Lin Youqing, but thought that this girl was so thin-skinned that if she held hands in broad daylight, she would be embarrassed to see anyone in the future, so she gave up.
Mu Xue is a few years older than Lin Youqing, but her temperament is still like a child. She likes excitement, but Lin Youqing is just the opposite, afraid of excitement. It can only be said that happiness between people is not the same.
Although Mu Xue was sent to Prince An's Mansion at a very young age and became Xu Yan's personal maid, because Xu Yan rarely made any demands on her, she didn't have to do so many things in Prince An's Mansion. All she had to do every day was to accompany her.
Xu Yanwan. Therefore, Muxue's childhood was still very happy, not so dark.
As for Lin Youqing, Xu Yan has never seen her childhood with his own eyes, so he can only understand her childhood misfortune from the cold words of the original work.
Without father's love, she can only huddle in a small room with her mother, unable to see the blue sky and white clouds. Being rejected by her relatives, even a despicable servant can scold her harshly.
People who grow up in such dark conditions have some psychological problems.
Looking at Lin Youqing's nervous little face, Xu Yan felt that a certain heartstring had been touched.
Although Lin Youqing's mother came from a small family, even if Lin Mofu disliked her, there was no reason to treat them like this! There should be a story in this, and you can check it out later.
Xu Yan raised his wide sleeves, looked at Lin Youqing, and motioned for her to grab them.
Lin Youqing obediently grabbed Xu Yan's sleeves with her small hands.
In this way, on Zhuque Street, two figures, one large and one small, walked slowly one after another among the crowd.
Muxue, who was walking in front, turned back inadvertently and saw the two people behind her. She couldn't help laughing, and the crooked corners of her eyes were like the rising moon in the sky, beautiful and fresh.
Before returning to the palace, Muxue already had a lot of things in her hands.
She bought these things with her monthly savings. Usually she rarely goes out on the street alone. If she is free today, she must spend it well.
The palace gave her a lot of monthly money, and she saved a lot of money, so she is also a veritable little rich woman.
He handed two bunches of candy figures to Xu Yan and Lin Youqing, while holding one in his mouth.
"Your Highness, Princess, and slaves, please treat you to some candy!"
Xu Yan didn't like something that was too sweet, so he shook his head and didn't take it, leaving Mu Xue to Lin Youqing.
Seeing Mu Xue's expectant eyes, Lin Youqing couldn't refuse, so she took them one by one with one hand.
She had rarely had the chance to eat this candy before, but today was the first time she had eaten so much.
She tasted the "little pig" in her left hand first, and then the "little monkey" in her right hand. Although they were both made of the same material, she felt that they tasted different.
One side is sweet, and the other side is satisfaction.
I saw Lin Youqing eating like a kitten, with some sugar juice staining the corners of her mouth.
Xu Yan wiped Lin Youqing's hands with his hands and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"
Lin Youqing was a little shy, her eyes were a little avoidant, and she didn't dare to look directly at Xu Yan.
"Eat it if it tastes good. If you want to eat it in the future, let people buy it. But don't eat too much. Your teeth will hurt if you eat too much."
Lin Youqing nodded and looked at Xu Yan with big eyes.
Xu Yan chuckled twice and took Lin Youqing back home.
……
"Your Highness, we have found out everything."
"Say."
"Ranque was the princess's mother's personal maid, and she served the princess for five years. During this period, as a servant, she rarely did anything. She bullied the master, deducted monthly money, and even beat and scolded the princess."<
/p>
Xu Yan said nothing, but the anger in his eyes was beyond words.
"What a Qingliu Lin family, all the books they read went into the dog's belly!"
Xu Yan felt that what Xu Chuxiu described was absolutely right. The Lin family were the dogs raised by Emperor Shunxing, even worse than dogs!
"Look for an opportunity to kill!"
"Yes!"
The speaker was Lao Ye, a martial artist in the Sixth Level of Martial Arts who Xu Yan had just recently arrived from Prince An's Mansion.
After the previous group of guards were dismissed by Xu Yan, no one was available, so Xu Yan returned to Prince An's Mansion to find Xu Qingyao to ask for someone.
When he was still in Prince An's Mansion, Lao Ye had a good relationship with him and could barely trust him.
Xu Yan also wanted to form a bodyguard of his own, but there was no one! There were too few powerful warriors.
Xu Qingyao hasn't done much recently. On the surface, it seems that Xu Qingyao's revenge against the Lin family has stopped.
But Xu Yan knew that everything was not over yet. Xu Qingyao was waiting, and the family was also waiting. They were all waiting for Gu Zhilong to enter Beijing.
At the same time, Xu Yan also believes that the Lin family will not sit still and wait for death.
"It never gets bright in Beijing!"
"There are still too few people available, so we have to think of ways to get some people who can be used."
Xu Yan still has some impressions of the powerful characters in the original work. But except for those who are still young and have not yet gone to Beijing, there are really not many that Xu Yan can handle.
Before Xu Qianan's shop opened, a big news spread throughout the capital.
The Marquis of Wuchang, Gu Zhilong, has been escorted to Beijing. A luxurious single room has been prepared in Dali Temple, and Gu Zhilong can move in at any time.
There are many people staring at Gu Zhilong. All forces are looking at who can win in this showdown between powers.
On this day, many people from Beijing came to the city gate to watch the excitement.
Xu Yan did not go, choosing to stay at home and study the art of disguise.
Gu Zhilong was a great hero of the Yu Dynasty and the ceiling of combat power in the whole book. Xu Yan also admired such a legendary figure. But Xu Yan would not go to see Gu Zhilong at such a cusp of controversy.
It's very chaotic now. If you don't have the strength, you should join in the fun as little as possible.
What he didn't know was that neither Lin Youqing nor Bai Long were at home at this time.
"You're really not afraid of me running away, so you brought me out so blatantly. If Xu Yan knew about it, he might cause trouble for you!"
Bailong flexed his muscles and bones. He had stayed in that miserable place for so long, and he was finally able to come out today. He was really happy!
Lin Youqing glanced at her and said lightly: "I think the disciples who come to Fuyun Mountain should be trustworthy."
When Bai Long heard the words "Floating Cloud Mountain" appear in Lin Youqing's mouth, he immediately lost his composure.
Looking at Lin Youqing, the sword in her hand was also unsheathed.
He said with an unkind expression: "You know so much?"
"I have already written a suicide note to my husband. I believe Miss Bai doesn't want the people in Fuyun Mountain to know about the secrets of the sect, right?"
Lin Youqing's palms were sweaty, but she was not afraid.
"Tell me, how on earth do you know Fuyun Mountain!"
Bailong was scratching his heart like a cat's claws at the moment, feeling very unhappy. Fuyun Mountain has not been in the world for more than a hundred years, how could anyone in the world still know of its existence.
