After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

Isn't this person Xu Lai, the steward of Xuanzhou Governor's Mansion?

Xie Niannian suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, yes, the eldest son of his family was recruited to Fengjing by the Empress a few days ago, and became an idle official.

But why does he know where he lives?

She pretended to be calm and looked at Xu Lai: "What right does he have to recruit women? I don't know him well, so what can I talk about?"

Xu Lai still had a smile on his mouth, but Xie Niannian shuddered when he saw it.

"It's not up to you."

"This is Feng Jing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to arrest people at will?"

Xie Niannian reached out and took off the pear flower hairpin on his head, his fingers had already pressed the cover.

"But you are just a commoner. In the huge Fengjing, who would take care of a commoner? People with power can do whatever they want." Xu Lai clapped his hands, and a dozen masked men in black walked out of the surroundings, Holding a sword in his hand, he approached Xie Niannian.

Xie Niannian took a step back and turned his head to find that he was also blocked by several men in black behind him.The surrounding courtyard doors were locked tightly, as if no one had noticed the movement here.

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she clenched the pear hairpin tightly in her hand. The situation was unavoidable, how should she find a way to get out?

"Caught alive."

After Xu Lai gave the order, the black shadow in front of him rushed up, Xie Niannian turned sideways to avoid it, and raised his foot to kick his leg bone.

But someone was faster than her - a cyan figure descended from the sky, with a cold light in his hand, the sharp short knife almost reached the man's neck, but the other side reacted very quickly, and ducked down.

It is obvious that this group of men in black are not idle people.

The man with the knife showed a handsome side face. Xie Niannian didn't understand the current situation, but he recognized him as the person who came to buy cold steamed buns before: "Is it you?"

As soon as the words fell, a hand had already grabbed her shoulder, trying to take her back.Xie Niannian couldn't dodge in time, his heart tightened, and he staggered a few steps.

However, the familiar scene was repeated again, "Bang—" the sound of the whip piercing the air resounded in the alley, and the man was sent flying far away.

She turned her head and saw a very familiar person.

Bai Yan raised a foolish smile, and wherever the whip shadow went, it stirred up dust on the ground, leaving deep marks on the ground.

"Miss Boss, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems."

Xie Niannian looked around, only to realize that another group of men in black had appeared at some point, and the two sides fought together.

The sound of swords clashing in the alley was endless, and the rising dust made it even more chaotic, and Xu Lai didn't know where to hide for a long time.

Bai Yan and Nineteen One stood in front of Xie Niannian: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, there is a carriage at the entrance of the alley."

Xie Niannian ran outside with the two of them carefully, and found that the bustling market was empty at the moment, all the people had been evacuated, but there was a carriage parked in the middle of the road.

Helping Xie Niannian to get into the carriage, seeing that she was sitting firmly, Bai Yan put down the curtain and sat in the front room by himself.There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if this was just an autumn outing.

"The director has ordered, don't keep alive."

Seeing Nineteen clasped his fists to accept the order, turned around and went back to the alley again, he also swung his whip and drove the horse, and drove the carriage away from this place of right and wrong.

Not long after leaving, the curtain was raised, and a furry head poked out from the carriage.Xie Niannian looked at Bai Yan, and Bai Yan also looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"The words that Chi Qing taught me are the secret codes of the two of you?" She cut to the chase and asked directly what she was thinking.

"Yes, so Chi Qing didn't tell you?"

He smiled deeper, as if he knew something important.

Xie Niannian narrowed her eyes, and she was really taken aback just now.But seeing Bai Yan's reaction, it was probably within Chi Qing's expectation.

"How does Xu Lai know my location?"

Bai Yan sighed, and leaned on the carriage, his tone seemed a little helpless: "Miss Boss, I have to pay for answering questions, at least a bowl of ice powder is enough for each question."

"Okay, you can find Chi Qing to go." Xie Niannian said expressionlessly.

After hearing this, he laughed out loud, crossed his legs, and still looked cynical: "The eldest son of the Lin family is just an idiot, but a useful pawn. Have you seen the group of people he leads? Master Lin is reluctant to give He is a shadow guard."

Xie Niannian lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then hesitantly appeared on his face: "Gu Chen? But why?"

"You know her? Of course it's to test Chi Qing's bottom line. If you make a mistake, you don't lose money, but if you don't, you make a fortune."

Xie Niannian sat back in the carriage, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

The cool night wind blows the curtains, as if wanting to see the expressions of the people inside.

"Then Chi Qing asked you to come, isn't that right in Gu Chen's arms?"

Bai Yan reined in his horse and stopped, rarely suppressing the smile on his face.His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Xie Niannian to hear clearly: "Madam Boss, I didn't understand the situation and let Duoying bring you in front of Chi Qing, so I'm sorry."

"The dispute between the DPRK and China is no small matter. If you regret getting involved, there is still time to get out."

Xie Niannian frowned, opened the curtain by himself, and jumped out of the carriage lightly.The car had already left the main street, and the place was so quiet that no one could be seen.There is only a quaint mansion gate in front of it, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the plaque on the door - Chi Mansion.

She caressed the pear hairpin in her hand. After thousands of times of tracing, she had already kept in mind the direction and texture of the wooden petals.

"I won't regret it."

"But I'm worried, if I don't understand those things, will it drag her down?"

After hearing this, Bai Yan let out a chuckle, turned over and got out of the car, he took out a piece of crumpled rice paper from his pocket, and handed it to Xie Niannian: "Miss Boss, those who cannot be protected are called weaknesses, and those who can be protected are called darlings." baby."

Xie Niannian unfolded the rice paper and saw the contents clearly with the faint light.

The painting is a branch of pear blossom, the branches and leaves are stretched, and the flowers are half-opened, which seems to be shy.Almost identical to my own pear flower hairpin.

Next to the flower branch is a familiar handwriting, sharp and public.

"Tiantian Lihuaxue, year after year are similar."

Seeing the dazed expression on Xie Niannian's face, Bai Yan turned his head to watch the show, and complained a little: "She thinks the pattern I found is ugly, so she just drew it herself. If the boss says a word, I will run away and break my legs."

Xie Niannian felt that his nose was a little sore, and his eyes were gradually soaked with tears. The past was still close in front of his eyes, and the memories had not been touched enough. The year is full of joys and sorrows.

She casually wiped away the half-hanging tears, folded the rice paper, and put it in her purse.

Bai Yan had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, took out the key and opened the door: "Although Chi Qing stayed in Tianshu Division for 29 days in a month, there is still a place to stay in Fengjing."

"She doesn't like anyone at home, and time is tight. She probably hasn't cleaned up much. You can sleep in her room."

"There are our people guarding all around, so rest assured and ensure safety."

The door was opened, but there was no light inside, and it looked like no one lived there.Bai Yan handed over the key to Xie Niannian, and stepped into the carriage again: "I have to go back and finish the work, lady boss, you can go by yourself, the fire pockets should be on the porch."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Xie Niannian's reaction, he whipped his whip and drove away in the carriage.

Xie Niannian stood at the door in a daze for a while, looked down at the keys in his hand, and watched the carriage condensed into a black spot in the distance.Only then did she realize that the house she was standing in was Chi Qing's home.

She was suddenly not sentimental.Even a little excited!

Sure enough, as Bai Yan said, he found a fire folder under the corridor, and Xie Niannian found a lantern again, and wandered around the house leisurely.

This house is quite big, but its structure is not complicated. There are no carved beams and painted buildings, nine winding corridors, and no expensive plants.Except for a few old trees, the huge yard is a large open space.

There are some flowers and plants under the corridor, but because no one takes care of them, they look a little sleepy.

Xie Niannian held the lamp, and the shadow was stretched very long by the candlelight.

She was the only one in the huge house, and the surroundings were quiet, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and wanted to find Chi Qing's room to light the lamp as soon as possible.

Some rooms are locked, and Xie Niannian can't open them, so he can only look for them while walking.

But before she could find it, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and she stopped again.Leaning the lantern against the pillar in the porch, he managed to see the scratches clearly.

This pillar has probably been around for some years, and the paint has faded a lot, and it is a little mottled.It was engraved with three straight scratches, each with a name next to it.The highest one didn't reach Xie Niannian's waist.

Xie Niannian came closer and looked carefully. From top to bottom, Gu Chen and the Empress Dowager were written in order, and A Qing was written next to the bottom one.

She suddenly understood, and laughed out loud, especially in the quiet courtyard.Unexpectedly, Chi Qing, who was a child, was actually the shortest of the three of them.

A short and short little Chi Qing was pictured in her mind, and she might have a serious face, she couldn't stop laughing, and felt a numb itching in her heart.

After seeing the scratches on the pillars, the two bastards engraved on the wooden window frame, and the waist-high sword marks on the target, Xie Niannian's heart softened into a ball of cotton, and sweet honey could be squeezed out just by rubbing it a few times. Come.

The tension just now was completely dispelled at this moment, Xie Niannian was in a great mood and finally found a bluestone road. This road is much cleaner, and there are not many weeds on the side of the road. It should be frequented by people.

At the end of the road are a few houses, the doors are unlocked and open with a slight push.

Xie Niannian walked in and lit the lamp, only then did he see the whole picture of the room clearly.

The color scheme is simple, and there are no extra decorations. The desks and bookshelves are neatly arranged without any dust, and the quilt and pillows on the bed are not even wrinkled. You don't need to ask to know that this is Chiqing's room.

She swayed to the bookshelf, and randomly pulled out a book called "Poems". On the cover of the book, there was an ink bastard drawn in the same strokes as the one on the window frame.

Xie Niannian put the book back to its original place, but when he turned around, he couldn't hold back any longer. He bent over with a smile, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons. I actually prefer to paint bastards.

Going shopping and drinking tea during the day, and confronting people in the evening, she was actually very tired, and she wished she could lie down on the bed and sleep until the sun was high.

Thinking about it, with Chiqing's personality, there would be no food in the kitchen, Xie Niannian tidied it up simply, and fell asleep, but the smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't stopped yet.

There was no dream all night until he was awakened by a knock on the door.It seemed to be dawn outside the window, and the surrounding trees blocked most of it, and the sunlight that leaked down was not dazzling.

She put on a dress casually, opened the door with her hair loose, and when she lowered her head, she found that Duoying was standing obediently in front of the door holding a food box.

Die Ying seemed startled by Xie Niannian's words last time, and looked a little cautious: "Sister Xie, Master asked me to bring you breakfast."

Seeing this, Xie Niannian thought of teasing again, deliberately joking with a cold face.

"Why doesn't she come by herself? Does she not want to see me?"

Overlapping shadows that couldn't move their minds: Master didn't teach me, how should I go about this? ?
