On the second day, with the first light rain, the merchant ship docked at the ferry in Shanghe County.

The spring in Qingzhou comes earlier than Yuxin Academy, the river bank is blowing willows into green, the ground is green and grassy, ​​and orioles are singing on the branches.On the streets between the green walls, hawkers set up stalls, hawking delicious food and all kinds of interesting gadgets.

After Zhong Ying got off the boat with the members of the Tan family, his gaze involuntarily followed the old man who passed by him.

The old man was holding a stick tied with thatch, and the thatch was filled with candied haws, all of them were bright red and full, which attracted fur children from all over the street to surround him.

Pi Zi rummaged through his sleeves for copper coins, trying to scrape together two copper coins so that he could buy a bunch of candied haws and eat them together.

Zhong Ying couldn't help licking the corners of his lips. He has always loved sweets, so naturally he would not let go of the delicacy of candied haws, but let him salivate over the candied haws like a few skinny children, and Zhong Ying felt that he was out of place.

Seeing that the child bought candied haws and ran away, and the old man wanted to leave too, Zhong Ying stood in front of the old man as soon as he stepped up.

"Ahem." Zhong Ying turned his head and cleared his throat, "How do you sell candied haws?"

The old man smiled and said, "A string of two copper plates."

"Oh." Zhong Ying raised his hand, handed over a few pieces of Lingshi, and said with a look of disgust, "I want them all."

The old man took a closer look and saw that the hands holding the spirit stone were trembling: "My lord, half a tael of silver is enough, no spirit stone is needed."

"That is to say, enough?"

"Huh? Hmm." The old man was a little confused about the situation.

The next moment, Zhong Ying snatched a large handful of candied haws from the old man's hand, carried them away, and the old man stared at his back with wide eyes in a daze.

A few little girls on the side of the road happened to pass by carrying bamboo baskets, and when they saw a beautiful young man holding such a large bundle of candied haws, they laughed softly.

Zhong Ying looked sideways, a pair of peach blossom eyes were shining brightly.

The girls were instantly embarrassed, and shyly covered their faces with handkerchiefs, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that were hesitant to speak.You push me, I pull you, but I dare not come forward to talk to you.

One of the most beautiful girls mustered up her courage and took a small step when she was glared at by the young man, her face froze with embarrassment.

Zhong Ying's peach blossom eyes were full of tenderness, when the long eyelashes were raised, his eyes were like unsheathed knives, cold and sharp.After glaring at the few girls who dared to "laugh" at him for eating candied haws, Zhong Ying snorted and forced a candied haws for Jun Buyi.

The meaning is obvious, pulling Jun Buyi to be laughed at together.

Jun Buyi stared at the candied haws inquiringly, as if he had never seen this thing before, a little confusion flashed across the eyes of Danqing ink.

"What's this?Jun Buyi spoke softly, and when he was about to ask for advice humbly, the little girl who was glanced at by Zhong Ying finally recovered, covered her face with her hands, and ran away crying, alarming the pedestrians along the way.

Several orioles startled and flew away from the willow branches. After changing a branch, they continued to groom each other's wings.

Jun Buyi: "...you seem to have made them cry."

Zhong Ying felt baffled, and felt that those little girls were unreasonable: "They laughed at me and cried, they are really narrow-minded."

Unexpectedly: "..."

"Pfft."

Zhong Ying took a bite of the candied haws, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Fourth Young Master Tan sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by the manager.

Fourth Master Tan couldn't help laughing: "Girls in Qingzhou are relatively shy, and they are not very good at expressing their feelings."

Zhong Ying rolled his eyes: "I will cry."

Tan Pei hesitated for a moment, smiled helplessly, and said tactfully: "You are still young, not at the age of pity and tenderness."

The Demon Lord who has lived for hundreds of years couldn't help blinking.

Although Tan Pei's cultivation base is completely abolished, he is the fourth son of the Tan family, and now the person in charge of the Tan family is his own sister, so he can still speak in the Tan family.After speaking a few words with Zhong Ying and the two, he arranged for them to get on the sedan chair, while he was pushed by the housekeeper to direct other matters.

The car curtain blocked the sight of pedestrians, Zhong Ying could finally eat candied haws to his heart's content, one bite at a time, absolutely unambiguous, seeing Jun Buyi still holding a bunch of candied haws, with no intention of eating, Zhong Ying licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue: " Don't you eat?"

Jun Buyi pursed his lips lightly, and said truthfully, "The imperial chef would never do this."

"Then you..." Give it back to me.Before Zhong Ying finished speaking, Jun Buyi bowed his head and took a light bite.

He probably hadn't eaten these before, so the brown sugar was stained on his lips, and the half-bitten hawthorn was crumbling on the bamboo stick, and when it was about to fall, Jun accidentally caught it.

Although the robe was not stained, the red hawthorn was lying on Jun Buyi's white palm.

Unexpectedly, you can't help being stunned.

Zhong Ying: "..."

After being silent for a while, Zhong Yingxiao staggered to and fro, pointing at Jun Buyi with trembling hands: "You are too useless hahaha."

"Stop laughing."

"Hahaha."

Jun Buyi lowered his head, bit the other half of the hawthorn, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his palm, the brown sugar was a bit sticky, he wiped it over and over until his fair skin turned red, and then he stopped.

At this time, Zhong Ying stopped smiling, his face was a little dark, and his eyelashes were as sharp as blood-stained thin blades.

He opened a corner of the curtain, and his eyes fell on the merchant ship. People from the Tan family came and went, which was very unusual, but at that moment, he noticed an extremely familiar aura.

It was only for a moment, but it made Zhong Ying think of the Qi family in Fufeng City.

During those days in the Qi family, for Zhong Ying, there was only oppression and humiliation.

Zhong Ying's aura was extremely terrifying at this time, but Jun Buyi was not afraid, and sat down beside Zhong Ying with some doubts, and followed his gaze to look at Tan's merchant ship: "Is there something wrong there?"

"I don't know." Zhong Ying shook his head, and as he spoke, the aura of abyss and prison dissipated from his body, and he returned to his usual proud and sharp appearance, "But there must be something there."

"It feels familiar to me...and disgusting."

Jun Buyi closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them, there were only dots of light and the reflection of Zhong Ying in the eyes: "I didn't feel anything wrong."

"Wait and see."

After saying these three words, Zhong Ying leaned back and snatched the remaining candied haws from Jun Buyi's hand.

After arriving at the Tan Mansion, there were already people waiting at the door.

After Tan Pei gave them a few casual instructions, he led Zhong Ying and the others into the door.When walking in the corridor, Tan Pei said, "I've already asked, Lingshi and the others haven't arrived at Tan's house yet, if you don't mind, you can stay at Tan's house for a few days."

Zhong Ying and the two naturally agreed with each other.

Not long after walking, at the corner, a touch of extremely bright red rushed over, and the voice was clear and clear: "Fourth brother, you are back!"

Tan Pei tilted his head, a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Jing'er."

Tan Jing?The person in power of the Tan family now?The sister that Tan Yu talked about killing her brother and seizing power?

Zhong Ying looked curiously.

It was a very young girl, who was only in her early twenties, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a heroic spirit.

A head of long black hair was not combed into a soft and complicated bun and inserted into a beautiful hairpin like other girls, but was tied high and fixed with a golden crown.He was wearing narrow-sleeved clothes and a red cloak trimmed with white down.

Walking up to Tan Pei, she took a look, and smiled at Zhong Ying and the two: "Are you the younger sister's classmates?"

"Ah."

"When my little sister is in the academy, I would like to trouble you to be more patient." After saying these polite words, Tan Jing murmured, "There are so many good-looking young men in the academy, I don't know what she is dissatisfied with."

Zhong Ying: "..."

Tan Pei coughed lightly.

Tan Jing lowered her head, her eyes showed concern: "Why are you losing weight again? I said it earlier, you don't need to worry about that, just take care of your body with peace of mind."

"Where have I lost weight? I'm obviously a bit heavier." Tan Pei chuckled lightly.

Tan Jing frowned, still worried, she took her elder brother's arm and said, "If there is someone who doesn't have eyes and dares to show you face, tell me, and watch me peel their skin."

Tan Pei shook his head.

"Fourth brother, I have already found out the whereabouts of my little sister."

"where is it?"

"The old place, she hides there every time she makes a mistake, I really thought I couldn't find her." Tan Jing snorted lightly, with anger in her eyes, "Don't worry, I'll go and bring her back right away. "

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Tan Pei got used to his younger sister's temper, shook his head and chuckled, then led Zhong Ying and the two to familiarize themselves with the scenery of the Tan Mansion.

However, Mr. Tan's health is not very good. After a few bursts of spring breeze, he felt a little dizzy, so he could only go back to the bedroom to rest, and the maid took them to the guest room.

The two guest rooms are adjacent to each other, and the house is well-equipped, clean and tidy, which is enough to show the host's thoughtful hospitality.

Zhong Ying walked around the room, and after drinking a few sips of cold water, the door rang three times regularly, and an elegant voice came from outside the door: "It's me."

After a few steps, after letting the person in, Zhong Ying raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

"I just met the person in charge." Jun Buyi sat down on the round stool with a serious expression, "Ask who is on the merchant ship."

meet?Zhong Yingcai didn't believe it. Based on his understanding of Lord Lianzhong, Jun Buyi should have found someone in charge on purpose.But Jun Buyi would take it to heart because of his casual doubt, and Zhong Ying felt satisfied.

"What did he say?" Zhong Ying fully believed that Jun Buyi had the ability to cover all other people's words.

"You and I, Mr. Tan Si, the manager, the guard, the pharmacist who treats Mr. Tan, and the goods. This time the merchant ship is said to be carrying spirit beasts." Jun Buyi looked calm and said lightly, "We haven't seen the pharmacist and the goods. However, the guards may have missed something, and what you think is wrong, is it a person or a thing?"

Zhong Ying thought for a while: "It's all possible."

Jun Buyi lowered his eyes and pondered: "Then we have to wait for Master and the others to come over, and then continue to investigate."

Zhong Ying and the others did not wait for Mrs. Mu and her party, but instead waited for Miss Tan Jing who had returned from the arrest.

When the two passed by, Tan Jing's angry voice was heard from a distance: "How dare you play truant, you are so brave, you kneel down to the ancestral hall for me tonight!"

"I'm not going." Another voice was crying.

Zhong Ying saw the two people surrounded by the Tan family's guards, one was Tan Jing in red and gold, and the other girl in men's clothing was Zhong Ying's classmate - Tan Yu.

Tan Jing is like a bully who robs civilian women, and Tan Yu is that poor and weak woman who was robbed.

These two are the masters of the Tan family. Without the master's orders, it is difficult for the monks of the Tan family to do anything.

"If you don't go, you have to go." Tan Jing aggressively dragged Tan Yu's arm, "You don't even dare to admit your mistakes, who taught you?"

"I'm not wrong." Tan Yu exerted force, and after breaking free from Tan Jing's grasp, she staggered and fell directly to the ground.

"You!" Tan Jing's arrogance froze, she raised her hand to pull someone back, but was slapped away.

Tan Yu raised her head, her eyes dim with tears: "I want to see my ancestors, I want to see my fourth brother! Why don't you allow me to see them?"
