A few days later, Chu Xujun, who wanted to make a breakthrough, was still reading in the dusty old account room, feeling dizzy.

It turns out that Chu Xuxu was really stumped by this persona who never leaves the front door or steps forward.

Young girls of this age have to pass several hurdles if they want to go out.

At present, the second aunt is still stuck in her career as a housekeeper. Jun Chu Xu in Chaohui Hall is so weak that she has to watch him.

Even though the eldest and second brothers were back, Chu Xujun had no excuse to go out.

Finally, a little girl from outside sent a message, saying it was a flower-viewing party in the spring. Even if it was sent by the little girl of the Wang family, his rival, Chu Xujun was happy. When he opened it, he saw that it was ten days later.

This post was sent early enough.

Chu Xujun put down the post and picked up the account book again.

The "sweeping monk" who had never met before in the room snorted again, probably mocking her for being impatient.

But an unexpected person handed Chu Xujun an olive branch.

The prodigal Chu Jie.

Chu Jie is the best poet among the four brothers. He is sweet-mouthed and greedy for drinking, and he is the most suitable for going out in social circles.

Even his second uncle, Chu Qiu, thinks his son is a bit weird and likes to hang out at fireworks venues, but he cannot deny that this is a career path for his family.

Nowadays, if you want to join the court, you still need to recommend it. If someone likes Chu Jie's talents, it will be good for the Chu family if they can open their mouths in exchange for an official position.

Therefore, Chu Jie used to have various names for going out.

That day he came to the accounting room and blocked Chu Xujun: "Sister Yunnu, you are not good. My second brother asked himself that he didn't offend you. Why did he come to my mother and say bad things about me?"

"I have met the second brother." Chu Xujun saluted and said, "The second brother must know what he is talking about and what kind of person Sui Sui is. I am not gossiping about my second aunt."

"So, my mother has wronged you. How could you tell me at home that my second brother was out fooling around, and coax my mother into giving me a hard time?"

"The second brother is the one who was wronged. Didn't the second brother go out to choose a parrot as a gift to the husband in the academy? Such good things can only be heard about at home. Why does the second aunt blame the second brother?"

Going out means going out, warblers and swallows, aren’t they just birds?

"Haha, I'm talking about this Yingying Yanyan..." Chu Jie's peach blossom eyes rolled, "It's strange that my mother can't understand the good words. That's why I was wronged. It's incredible, I'm afraid, these days

No, you’ve grown up a lot and are more beautiful. Let’s go. Second brother will apologize to you and go out to pick out gifts for you. Second brother will give you whatever you like. You’re welcome.”

This libertine will die with this mouth sooner or later.

Chu Xujun lowered his head in a coy manner. It would be nice if he could go out: "Second brother, I'll keep my word. I'll see you at the door in a stick of incense. If I can't see you, I'm really going to complain to my second aunt."

"Don't worry, see you there or see you."

The streets of this era were less attractive than the country fairs of later generations.

The ground is a compacted dirt road, and there is not a single small stall on either side of the road. There is only a large water tank with a height of one and a half people standing on the corner of the street a few miles away, which is filled with water all year round.

These days, all wooden buildings are used for "firefighting" purposes.

If you want to buy something, you have to go to a special "market" to see it.

Sitting in the Chu family's exquisite silver-inlaid carriage, Chu Xujun observed through the diamond-shaped windows along the way to his destination.

The market is easy to spot. From a distance, you can see a tall pole with the black flag of "market" hanging on it. Under the pole are soldiers wearing wooden armor, whose duty is to maintain the order of the market.

Zhen'an County is the core county of Zhongzhou. It is not far from the residence of King Zhen. It is surrounded by the residences of officials and wealthy families. It is quite lively with people coming and going.

They sell everything, including cloth, swords, bamboo slips, pens and ink, bronzes, pottery... There is a lot of food, including grains, fruits and vegetables, and a small amount of cooked food.

Of course, the smell of the whole city is not very good.

Chu Xujun seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden and saw many little girls wearing headscarves and going out to do business.

Seeing a mutton dumpling soup shop, Chu Xujun sat down. The tofu stall she wanted to open was also a cooked food shop, so naturally she had to do market research everywhere.

However, Chu Xujun still overestimated the safety of going out in this era, and also overestimated Chu Jie's sense of responsibility.

A Zhu and Ximei were inseparable from each other in the house, so Chu Xujun left a message and ran away while Hua Liancheng was still sleeping.

Chu Xujun was born with such beautiful pink lips. When she came to the street, she was like a bright color that was hard to ignore. People soon noticed her.

As soon as I sat down, there were a few oily-faced dandies in front of me.

Chu Xujun immediately turned around to look for Chu Jie, but there was no one there.

She regretted not bringing Dali Ximei with her. Thinking about the self-defense techniques she learned in modern times, she wondered if they were enough. She had a weak body and she hadn't had time to practice it yet.

There are good things in the system mall, but it's just a few gangsters who kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, which makes me feel bad.

"Such a beautiful little girl, how come she has no one to accompany her at dinner? Fortunately, our brothers like to do good deeds the most. Whatever you want, I'll treat you to it. As long as...hehe"

"How about you just have a few drinks with us?"

The dandies sat down one after another, forming a circle. Looking at the beautiful little girl in front of them, they all started to drool before the pimple soup was served.

"It is said that the daughter-in-law of the Chu family is the most beautiful woman in Zhen'an County. I think this little girl is born in vain, with her snow-white skin and tender hands..."

"You've never seen the little girl from the Chu family, how do you know she's not beautiful?"

"Look, this little girl is born. This is the first time that I have seen such a beauty that makes the world pale..."

"That's true."

…

A tall man in black clothes across from him stopped.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Chu Xujun lowered his head. The Quju thing was designed to prevent people from running away, right? What's more, these days, it's hollow inside, so it's easy to get lost if you're not careful.

He couldn't fight, he couldn't run, and when he saw that the hands on the other side were about to reach out, Chu Xujun resented in his mind and wanted to unlock the confinement of the system...

Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, and then another gust of wind blew up. The dandies sitting around her all fell to the ground with a "swish", their eyes looking even more dazed than Chu Xujun's.

The pain that followed made them cry out: "Who! Dare to hit me!"

"Don't go out and ask around, who are these brothers?"

"Ouch, ouch, hit me, hit me quickly! What do you do for food?"

But another gust of wind passed by, and the servants behind the dandies also fell to the ground with a "pap pap pap" like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

One of the boys kicked her here and there like she was cleaning up the battlefield: "You guys are okay with molesting a decent woman in the street. Just wait here and go to the government to get slapped on your face."

"You still dare to call out...Guan Ye, Guan Ye, there are gangsters here, come quickly..."

The young men in gray clothes and black crowns called to the wooden soldiers in the distance and began to negotiate. If any of the dandy boys tried to run away, they would be kicked back by the strong men outside.

The surrounding people have gathered around: "It's them again. They've been on the street every day for the past few days, and they have such a bad mouth."

"At least someone is taking care of it, tui, it's time!"

…

Chu Xujun stood where she was, and then she saw clearly that there was a tall man in black next to her. His face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. He was only dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, and he looked definitely not an ordinary person.

"Who said you are more beautiful than the little girl from the Chu family?"

The man's voice was cold and magnetic, like broken jade from Kunshan and silver beads falling on a plate.
