In late May, Hedong has entered early summer. On the official road south of Taiyuan City, the silent heat is steaming on the earth, shining, swaying leisurely and softly, like a fish swimming in the water. Both sides of the official road are covered with trees.
The fields where the scorching sunshine shines are filled with endless wheat, and the green wheat ears are undulating in the wind.
At this time, a woman riding a horse appeared on the official road in the distance. She was wearing a short black shirt and a long black skirt with silver trim. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly darker skin and a pair of
The eyes are amazingly bright.
She was none other than Dou Xian Niang, who had come all the way here. Dou Xian Niang was not able to get her Fengwei Dao, but only got a pair of bows and arrows and a horizontal knife. Even so, she still killed several people who blocked the road and robbed her along the way.
The little thief finally arrived at Taiyuan City after traveling for nearly a month.
The closer she got to Taiyuan City, the more nervous she became. She didn't know what she was doing in Taiyuan City. Maybe she was looking for someone, but... what if he ignored her?
No! That's not the case. What does it matter if he ignores me or not? I just went to pay him back the money, one hundred taels of gold. I have never met him, how could I accept his gold casually? Yes, I just went to pay him back.
Money has no other meaning.
As she was thinking about it, her face suddenly turned red, as if the passersby on the road could see through her thoughts. She quickly took out a curtain hat and put it on, and the gauze around it covered her face.
After a while, Dou Xianniang rode to the city gate. The city gate was crowded with people who were about to enter the city. A group of carriages was entering the city. There were female guards standing on both sides of the carriage, watching the surroundings carefully.
"Auntie, who is this?" Dou Xianniang asked an old woman next to her in a low voice.
The old woman glanced at her and said with a smile: "The girl is from out of town! This is Princess Chu's car."
"Oh! So it's Princess Chu. Didn't you say that Princess Chu is very approachable? Why is she starting to block the road?"
The old woman quickly explained: "The girl misunderstood. Princess Chu did not block the road. It was because everyone respected Princess Chu that they took the initiative to give way to her car. The girl can pass by as well. Look, there are a few vegetable sellers in the team."
Of?"
Dou Xianniang saw it. There were indeed a few old vegetable sellers in the team, carrying vegetable baskets and leisurely following the team forward. The guards on both sides did not interfere with them.
Dou Xianniang also wanted to follow her into the city, but she remembered that she had a bow, arrows and knife, so she finally resisted the urge to rush into the city, reined in her horse and waited for Princess Chu to enter the city.
Pei Minqiu came back from the villa outside the city, and the weather was getting hotter. The royal family also began to think about a place to escape the summer. The best place to escape the summer is of course the Fenyang Palace in Loufan County, where the summer is like spring and the scenery is beautiful. It's just too far away.
, not very realistic.
They could only find a summer resort nearby, and finally Pei Minqiu chose Qifeng Villa in Longshan, southwest of the city. It was originally the imperial palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was later given by Yang Jian to the King of Han Dynasty, Yang Liang, and became Yang Liang's summer resort.
Later, Li Yuan also lived there for a while, but now it is temporarily vacant. There are many pavilions and pavilions in the villa, with rich forests and clear mountain springs. It only needs a little tidying up to move in.
As the mistress of the palace, Pei Minqiu made a special trip to the villa for inspection today. In the carriage, through the thin gauze of the window, Pei Minqiu also saw Dou Xian Niang wearing a silk hat.
She was also a little curious. She was armed with a sword and a bow, wearing a wide silver black skirt and black clothes, and riding a tall horse. It was rare to see women dressed like this. Most of them were heroines walking in the world. Back then,
Chuchen also dressed up like this before.
But Pei Minqiu's curiosity only lasted a moment. The car window turned dark, and the carriage entered the city cave. As they drove into Taiyuan City, the woman in black shirt and black skirt with a knife gradually drifted into the corner of her memory.
The princess drove into the city. Everyone followed her into the city. Dou Xian Niang was also mixed in the crowd and entered Taiyuan City. This was her first time to come to this ancient city. Her eyes were full of curiosity and she looked around the city.
The new capital of the Sui Dynasty.
At the same time, this city also felt very strange to her. Where was his home? Dou Xianniang looked around and saw a few soldiers sitting there resting by the city wall. She urged her horse forward and took out two sticks from her horse bag.
Hang money.
"Senior sergeants, I want to ask you something." She threw the money over.
Several soldiers were startled. They looked at the young woman with her face covered with a veil, then at her knife, and finally their eyes fell on the two slings of money.
An older soldier raised his hand and said with a smile: "What does this girl want to ask?"
"Oh... I would like to know where General Luo Shixin's residence is? I am his cousin, from my hometown." Dou Xianniang deliberately emphasized the word cousin very clearly, but her face
It's red again, but luckily it's blocked by gauze.
Several soldiers looked at each other, they didn't know, but for the sake of money...
The older soldier rushed towards the city, "Girl, please wait a moment, I'll go make some inquiries."
After a while, the older soldier ran back and said with a smile: "Girl, General Luo's residence is in Honghuai Lane, Jin Street, in the north of the city. You can find out when you get there."
"Thank you very much!"
Dou Xian Niang urged her horse to go north of the city. The older soldier scratched his head and said with a smile: "This girl is really impatient. I haven't finished talking yet!"
When he lowered his head, he saw that the two slings of money were gone. He was furious and grabbed a soldier by the collar, "Which share is mine?"
.......
Dou Xianniang galloped all the way, and soon she found Linjin Street. She asked all the way and found the Red Sophora Alley. There were several old locust trees at the entrance of the alley. The snow-white locust flowers were in full bloom at this time. One of them
The blooming of the locust tree is actually a rare purple color, hence the name Red Locust Alley.
Dou Xian's mother's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her chest. She got off her horse, took off her curtain hat, and led the horse slowly to a mansion covering an area of about five acres. There were two rows of halberds at the door of the mansion, and the wall beside the door
There is a black gold wooden plaque hanging on it, with two white seal characters engraved on it, 'Luofu!'
This is it. Dou Xian Niang bit her lip and just approached the steps. At this time, the door opened and an old man in cloth walked out of the house with a broom. He saw Dou Xian Niang and asked strangely: "
Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Old man, is this the residence of General Luo Shixin?"
"This is exactly what the girl is..."
Dou Xianniang hesitated for a moment, then summoned up her courage and said, "I...I am his cousin, from my hometown. Is he there?"
The old man chuckled, "Why don't I remember you as my niece?"
Dou Xianniang's face suddenly turned red and her cheeks were hot. It turned out that this old man was Luo Shixin's father. She thought he was...
Dou Xianniang was so ashamed that she turned around and left. Luo Shixin's father shouted from behind: "Girl, Shixin is training at the camp outside the west of the city. He will be back at dusk. If you are in a hurry, you can go directly to the military camp to find him."
"Thank you uncle, I'll come back in the evening!"
Dou Xianniang agreed, got on her horse and drove away. Luo Shixin's father watched her back disappear gradually, and said to himself with a smile: "This girl is good, I like her very much."
"Uncle, who do you like?" Suddenly a broken gong voice came from behind him. Luo's father was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin, he turned the broom handle and knocked at him, "You shady guy, I'm here
What does it have to do with your future daughter-in-law?"
Cheng Yaojin was on duty to patrol the city today. The military office was very close to Luo Shixin's mansion, so he hid in Luo Shixin's mansion and took a nap. At this time, he had had enough sleep and was about to return to the military camp. He saw Luo's father's broomstick hitting him.
He was so frightened that he held his head and asked: "Abo, when did Shixin have a fiancée, why didn't I know?"
Luo's father suddenly thought that Cheng Yaojin had a very good relationship with his son. Maybe he knew this woman. He quickly grabbed Cheng Yaojin and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, has Shixin been with a young woman recently?
"
He stretched out two fingers to compare, and looked at Cheng Yaojin expectantly. Shixin's wife and children died at the hands of the bandit Lu Mingyue a few years ago, and they have been alone ever since. Luo's father desperately hoped that his son would marry again.
, but his son never paid attention to it, which made him anxious.
Today, a young woman suddenly came looking for his son. Although she was not very beautiful, her simplicity made Luo's father like her very much, and he became anxious.
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"You idiot!"
Luo's father hit him hard with the broom handle again and said urgently: "Just now a young woman came to see Shixin. I felt that she was very interested in Shixin, so I asked you."
Cheng Yaojin thought about it and quickly asked: "What kind of woman is she?"
Father Luo thought for a while, "About seventeen or eighteen years old, with slightly dark skin and bright eyes. He carries a bow and arrow on his back and a knife..."
"It's her!"
Cheng Yaojin jumped up with a 'Ha!' and laughed loudly: "Uncle, you are going to be in-laws with Dou Jiande."
He mounted his horse and galloped away. Luo's father was stunned and quickly asked: "Black Guo, what did you say?"
"Just ask Ronaldinho yourself." Cheng Yaojin had already run hundreds of steps, and he had another chance to blackmail Luo Shixin.
.......
In the Xicheng military camp, Luo Shixin was dragged out of the tent by Cheng Yaojin. Luo Shixin said helplessly: "Fourth brother, what's the matter with you?"
"Boy, a happy event has come to your door." Cheng Yaojin's face was full of smiles, and a few more coins seemed to be flying in front of his eyes.
Luo Shixin glanced at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to take advantage of my wallet again?"
"What do you mean? I have good news for you. Do you remember that woman? She was the one who shot you with an arrow."
Luo Shi's confidence jumped, but his face said calmly: "Oh! It's her. What's wrong? Did something happen to her?"
"I just saw her on the street, oh! She was dressed in fancy clothes, and she looked so pretty, tsk tsk! It was like a fairy descended to earth, how about it, do you want to know where she lives?"
Luo Shixin snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Cheng Yaojin grabbed him and said, "I really won't lie to you. Give me a hundred taels of silver and I will tell you where she is?"
"You bastard, stop talking nonsense. You have never seen her at all. You know nothing!"
Luo Shixin ignored him, turned around and left.
