Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

When there is no night show, Si Qinghu starts at [-]:[-] every day, after washing up, he gets used to practicing swords, which has not changed for seven or eight years.

She danced to the corner of the wall, jumped up and cut off a pear blossom protruding from the next yard, caught the flower branch, circled down, and sheathed the sword contentedly.

Linger came over with a thick handkerchief, Si Qinghu took the handkerchief, and handed the sword to Linger.

She walked into the room while wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, Linger followed beside her and said, "There is no performance arrangement for today, miss, where are we going?"

Si Qinghu said: "Today is Grandma Si's death day, I want to pay homage to her, you are ready to prepare."

Then, she put the pear blossom into the vase in front of the window.

…………

After Xiao Tong had breakfast, he jogged from the gate of Xiao's mansion along the wide and empty stone road to the street.

As long as it doesn't rain, she will insist on exercising every day.Only in this way can this body recover as soon as possible.

There are very few pedestrians on the street in the early morning, and only the shops facing the street are open.

Outside the tailor's shop, a middle-aged woman dressed in brocade clothes was sweeping the floor. When she saw Xiao Tong passing by, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, Xiao Silang is exercising again early in the morning?"

"Yes, Boss Zhang!" Xiao Tong replied with a smile, "It's so early for you too!"

"Businessman!"

Looking at Xiao Tong's back as he ran farther and farther, Boss Zhang had a motherly smile on his face, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"I didn't expect that Xiao Silang, who used to see people only after three poles in the sun, has become so hardworking. He wakes up early every morning to exercise!" Boss Zhang chatted with the female owner of the makeup shop next door.

The owner of the powder shop also echoed: "Yes, I heard that there will be money to be made, which is really rare!"

Boss Zhang lowered his voice, and said again: "My daughter told me a few days ago that she likes women and will marry women in the future. I just thought that Xiao Silang might be suitable, hehe!"

"Hey, didn't you say before that Xiao Silang's virtue would not be able to get a wife? Why are you rushing to marry your daughter now!"

The two women chatted and laughed, talked for a while and then went to their own shop.

Diagonally opposite the two shops was Xiao's House. Si Qinghu and Ling'er came out from the shop, and they just listened to their words. Looking at their sullen backs, Ling'er looked disgusted: "Tsk tsk tsk, this Xiao Silang changed just a little bit, and everyone rushed to like her, what a superficial woman!"

Si Qinghu's expression froze, and he didn't dare to answer.Obviously Ling'er was scolding those two women, she felt a little uncomfortable no matter what she heard, even a little guilty.

She looked at the street, and suddenly saw Xiao Tong running into an alley, after thinking about it, she said to Ling'er: "I will pay homage to grandma, I will go alone, you stay here."

After finishing speaking, Si Qinghu grabbed the oil-paper umbrella from Linger's hand, and stepped down the steps with light steps.

"Miss?" Ling'er scratched her head in confusion, she had just agreed to go together, did she say something wrong to make Miss unhappy?

Si Qinghu walked out to the entrance of the alley that Xiao Tong ran into just now, there were few pedestrians in it, as long as she walked through this alley, she could walk out of this block and reach the official road leading to the outer city, just right.

Xiao Tong ran along the street, seeing more and more pedestrians and carriages on the street, so he ran into an alley, unexpectedly when he turned around, he ran into Si Qinghu head-on.

She slowly slowed down, and stopped when she reached Si Qinghu's side, panting, "Qinghu, why are you here?".

Si Qinghu pretended to be surprised, and said with a smile: "Xiao Silang, what a coincidence!"

"I'm running, and you, where are you?"

"I'm going out of the city. Today is my grandma's death day, so I'll go see her."

"Oh……"

Xiao Tong also knew that the grandma Si Qinghu mentioned was the former head of Qingyufang, who adopted Si Qinghu back then.She didn't want to disturb her either. She looked at the gloomy sky and said, "It's going to rain, so I'll go back first. You are alone... Be careful!"

She was about to say "Be careful by yourself", but before she finished speaking, she saw a ball flying from the other side of the alley, over the wall, and was about to hit them.

With a cry of surprise, she subconsciously turned around, turned her back to the direction the ball was coming from, and used her whole body to block Si Qinghu.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Si Qinghu grabbed Xiao Tong's collar and pulled her forward, then opened the oil-paper umbrella with a whoosh to block Xiao Tong's back.

"Bang!" The ball hit the oil-paper umbrella, bounced off the ground and rolled several times.

Xiao Tong was pulled violently, and subconsciously opened his arms to embrace Si Qinghu.

A few strands of hair were lifted by the wind and passed across Xiao Tong's face. The faint scent of roses flowed into his nose, it was fragrant and sweet, like freshly brewed mellowness, and he would faint after smelling it for a while.

At the moment of being hugged by Xiao Tong, Si Qinghu was stunned until there was a rustling sound from the oiled paper umbrella.

It was raining, the Cuju boy picked up the ball on the ground, glanced at the two hugging each other, scratched his head and ran away in a hurry.

Si Qinghu quickly pushed Xiao Tong away, and took half a step back in embarrassment.

At the same time, Xiao Tong was so frightened that he let go of his hands, "Thank you... Thank you Qinghu."

"Usually you are very smart, why do you always use your body to block when you encounter danger?"

These words carried a strong air of blame, and they also pointed to what happened outside the Town God's Temple last time.

"I..." Xiao Tong was so ashamed that his face became hot, reaching the roots of his ears.

She admits that she is very smart in the field she is good at, but for some reason, when she sees that Si Qinghu is in danger, she will always clumsily subconsciously stand in front of her, and will not think of a better way to save everyone from harm .

It may be that the person in front of her is related to the lifeblood of Xiao Shixing, and she cares too much.

She, who considered herself smart, was really ashamed to be taught a lesson by a girl who was younger than herself and so beautiful.

Si Qinghu looked at her flushed face and small eyes that were aggrieved, and suddenly felt a little guilty.Xiao Tong is no longer the heartless Xiao Silang before. The person in front of him has experienced too many twists and turns, and may have become sensitive and fragile.What's more, she still likes herself in her heart, and being ridiculed by the person she likes makes it uncomfortable for anyone else.

What a cold-hearted person she is!

Si Qinghu scolded himself in his heart, then his indifferent face returned to a little gentle, and he pretended to be annoyed: "You're so stupid!"

Xiao Tong was startled, hearing these words, he scratched his heart with claws, itchy.She smiled and looked up, and they were standing under an oiled paper umbrella.

The rain outside the umbrella is getting bigger and bigger.

"I didn't bring an umbrella, so I can't go back, can I go with you?" Xiao Tong tentatively asked.

It's raining, and it's not safe for a girl from Siqing Lake to go up the mountain, so it's better to accompany her.

Si Qinghu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Originally, she just wanted to chat with Xiao Tong for a while in the alley, and she didn't intend to let him go with her, but now that it's raining, she can't refuse.

Grandma's tomb is halfway up the mountain in the outer city.There are many tombs here, because it is not long after the Qingming Festival, they are all bare, and there is no gloomy and deserted feeling.

Grandma's tomb was erected in Qingyufang, and the people of Qingyufang had worshiped it long ago, so the tomb was clean without any weeds.

The rain had lightened, drifting like cow hair, Si Qinghu squatted in front of the grave burning paper money, Xiao Tong squatted beside her, holding an umbrella for her.

Her eyes fell on Si Qinghu's face, there was no wave on his calm face, and no emotion could be seen.

Think about it too, people have been away for several years, what emotions can they have?

She couldn't help but said: "Your grandma used to be very good to you, right?"

She remembered that Si Qinghu was adopted by Grandma Si when she was eight years old.It seems that she is not a native of Bianjing, but was brought back by Grandma Si when she took geisha to perform in other places.

Si Qinghu glanced at the name engraved on the tombstone, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's pretty good. If grandma hadn't taken me in, I might still be in that family now, or maybe I was married off a long time ago. Can you be so comfortable?"

that home?It seems that they have never heard of Si Qinghu's native family, and there is not even a little bit of gossip in Bianjing Fang.Xiao Tong was suddenly curious.

"Then where is your original home?"

"At Hangzhou."

"Why did they sell you into Qingyufang?"

Xiao Tong didn't think too much, and continued to ask.After asking, I suddenly felt inappropriate, what is their relationship, these questions are too abrupt, right?

Sure enough, Si Qinghu's face darkened, and after burning the last piece of paper money, he said quietly: "It's not for sale, I came in voluntarily. Let's go!"

Xiao Tong was a little surprised. Many geisha were sold into the teaching workshops since they were poor. The children who learn art are not to mention how hard it is.How can children under ten years old voluntarily join the teaching workshop?

It was inconvenient for her to ask further questions, and after Si Qinghu worshiped, the two of them walked down the mountain.

That day was the resting day, and the performance introduction business like Xiao Shixing naturally staggered with the official resting day.

Xiao Tong had just sent away a Goulan owner who came to talk about the performance, and was about to go to the backyard to have a look, when a big brother's voice came from behind him.

"Shiro, a guest has come to see you!"

Xiao Tong turned around, and saw Xiao Li bringing in a young man wearing a white and gray wide-sleeved gown and a hooded head. The man looked handsome, and his standard Chinese-character face was fairer than Xiao Tong's, as if he had applied powder. generally.

When Xiao Tong saw this person, he immediately felt a hint of shock.

What is this Mr. Liang doing here?

Out of courtesy, and it was brought by her eldest brother, she still greeted him gently.

"Master Xiao." Young Master Liang saluted first.

Xiao Tong also greeted him with a bow, and asked him and his elder brother to sit down in the living room.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Liang really couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "I heard that Qinghu is in Yahang today, I wonder if Master Xiao can arrange for me to meet her?"

Xiao Tong wanted to blurt out "No".This Mr. Liang actually has the face to come to Qinghu. He can't give Qinghu a title, so he decides to help her redeem her body and let Qinghu be her concubine. He is even more incompetent than the original body!Although the original body is a dude, at least he wants to marry Qinghu as his wife.

But she thought about it again, this was a matter between Si Qinghu and him, he had to ask Si Qinghu's opinion before deciding whether to drive him away or bring him in to meet people.
