six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 225
In Shangjing in October, winter entered early, and the common people put on winter clothes, exhaling heat from their mouths, and the weather was far colder than that in Changping.

Shangjing is the place where the imperial city is located. If anyone is randomly picked up on the street, they may be powerful and noble people who cannot be provoked easily. I don't know it.

In Shangjing, where the rich and powerful are everywhere, if you just kill a worthless white body and throw a hundred and ten taels of silver, it will be fine.

Su Liu raised the curtain of the car and took a look outside. The tall city gate was like the one in the Forbidden City in Beijing. The wall was three feet thick at the end, and it took a lot of people to open the heavy gate.

I saw long queues of vehicles and people queuing up to enter the city, and those who had no guides blocked them directly, and there were quite a few carriages with names representing their identities. As for the names, Su Liu didn't know. I recognize it, I just know it must be very noble, otherwise how could someone's car get to the city gate and let it go without checking?

In this era, it is true that imperial power is supreme. Su Liu lowered the curtain and reminded the girl next to her again: "This place in Shangjing is deeper than a pool of water. You must not be cautious in your words and deeds, and take care of everything." Eyes, more ears, but less mouth. If you offend the powerful, even if I want to save you, I will not be able to save you."

When going out this time, Su Liu brought two maids, Shuang Ning and Xue Luo, and for convenience, she also brought Granny Cui, in case there was something that could not be handled by the unmarried girl's house, a nanny would be there more convenient.

Both Granny Cui and Xueluo were calm, so they nodded naturally. Shuang Ning's temperament was quick-witted but a little off-the-charts, but she also knew that Shangjing was not a small place like Changping Baise, so she suppressed her excitement and acted seriously. sit in the compartment.

While talking, the car started to move, and the sound of the wheels sounded, and it began to enter the city.

The prosperity of Shangjing is naturally first-class, and there is no reason why you don’t want to walk around here when it’s cold, so there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, bustling with people, just like a festival.

Shuang Ning has been sitting upright, just lying on pins and needles, her ears are pricked up, her eyes are constantly looking at the curtain of the car, but because of Su Liu's presence, she dare not move around.

Seeing that it was funny, Su Liu said, "If you want to see it, then lift up the curtain of the car and watch it. I'm restless, and I thought something was wrong with you!"

"Girl..." Shuang Ning said coquettishly, then lifted up a corner of the car curtain to look out, and sighed: "There are so many people in Shangjing, there are many houses, and the road is very spacious. Hey, girl, You see, that man is still fanning with a fan, ouch, I'm all for him."

Su Liu laughed when she heard this, and looked out through the small corner, feeling a little excited in her heart.

This is living ancient times, not the kind of TV set, but the real thing.

Row upon row of quaint yet majestic houses, the spacious streets are lined with shops, and a variety of goods are dazzling.

Because it is at the foot of the emperor, there are a lot of nobles and officials dressed in expensive clothes, so from time to time you can see some ladies wearing curtains, and young men who are obsessed with fans or wearing jade flutes and jade flutes.

Su Liu knows that a real lady with a strict family style must be someone who doesn't leave the house without leaving the house, and can't go out easily, especially for those ladies from aristocratic families, the jewelry and clothes are all tailor-made for the shop's door-to-door. In order not to be accidentally bumped outside and damage the reputation of the boudoir and ruin the family tradition.Even if you want to go out, you need to be surrounded by servants. Of course, there are also people with mediocre conditions who come out with only a girl. There are poor people everywhere.

No matter what kind it is, it is not something Su Liu can afford to provoke. To put it bluntly, she is a white body. If you use the name of the fiancée of a general, you will probably be trampled to death instead of being praised. , Sometimes, identity does not bring benefits to oneself, but brings disadvantages.

Therefore, unless necessary, Su Liu is not prepared to reveal her identity. After all, she has nothing but a white body, and if she speaks out, she may be squeezed out and secretly.

The carriage drove for about half an hour before stopping at an inn. After a while, Song Fei's girl came over to talk.

In Shangjing, Su Liu knew only two brothers, Song Fei and Song Fei. When they came back this time, both of them also came back. Naturally, they wanted to go back to Anqinghou Mansion to live, and it was impossible for Su Liu to follow.

According to Song Fei's idea, their Song family also has a four-entry house in Shangjing. Su Liu can live there, but Su Liu refused. It's always inconvenient to live under the fence. She herself means to live in an inn first. Then, rent a small yard to live in for a month and a half, and return to Gyeongju after everything is settled.

Yes, the trip to Beijing was postponed again and again. After the chili sauce matter came to an end, Su Liu and Song Fei came to Beijing together, trying to take over all the things Ning Guang gave them years ago. I can also go home for the New Year with peace of mind.

In fact, so far this year, Su Liu and the others have also earned a lot of money. Among them, the dividend of the donkey-hide gelatin workshop is the most impressive, and the chili sauce has also made a lot of money, as well as the interest of the shop and the field, etc. In Baise Town, she can be regarded as a little rich woman, and it is also possible to buy a small house in Shangjing.

Su Liu also thought about buying a house. After all, after taking over Ning Guang's property, there may be more days to go to Beijing in the future, and it is not convenient to stay in a hotel all the time.

But she also knows that buying a house does not mean that you can buy it just by buying it. Shangjing is like a modern capital city, where every inch of land is expensive. If you spend a few thousand taels, you may be able to buy a small house with a secondary income.

So she is not in a hurry, and only entrusted the two brothers Song Fei, if there is a suitable one, it will not be too late.

After entering the inn and staying there, Song Fei took out a jade token with the word Anqing written on it, saying that it was the token of their mansion, if something really happened, he could show this token, You can also go to Anqinghou Mansion for help.

Su Liu took it generously, bowed her knees and thanked her.

She will not be hypocritical, there are rich and powerful here, if she has nothing to save her life, she will die a hundred times, who dares to care if you are someone's fiancee, Song Fei's thigh can rely on it naturally .

"Look, you're afraid of death." Seeing her with a bright smile on his face, Song Xiao couldn't help snorting contemptuously, and said, "Ning Guang also gave you a piece of jade, and took it out at a critical moment, who really dares to touch you? "

After hearing this, Su Liu pressed her heart subconsciously. There was a piece of round jade attached there. It was sent by Ning Guang. He heard that it was a gift from the imperial court. He heard that she was coming to Beijing, so he specially appeased and comforted her. Used to represent identity.

The imperial gifts are those given by the emperor. Others can't easily touch them, and they can't give them away or throw them away. They are life-saving things, but Ning Guang just gave them to Su Liu, which shows his intentions.

"Didn't I say that it's not easy to show this thing? You can't give it to someone as a gift from the imperial court. I don't want to show it until it's critical, so as not to cause trouble for him." Su Liu's expression was taken for granted.

Song Xiao curled his lips when he heard this, and snorted, not knowing whether it was from jealousy or what.

Song Fei smiled and said: "Your token is more useful than mine, but you are doing the right thing. Don't show it until the critical moment. Sometimes the disaster caused by good things is even worse." big."

Su Liu nodded.

Song Fei explained a few more words, Su Liu and the others rested here for the long-distance journey. They returned to the Anqinghou Mansion today, and they might not be able to come out again. If they are free tomorrow, they will come back again. It's up to them to handle it.

Su Liu knew the identities of the two of them, although she came to Beijing with her to deal with the matter of taking over Ning Guang's property, but they also had other affairs and had to perform filial piety on behalf of their parents, so they definitely couldn't be with them all the time.

Before leaving, Song Fei wanted to take away two more cans of chili sauce. Su Liu knew that he had plans, so she gave a can of all the freshest flavors she had made recently.

After Brother Song Fei left, Su Liu and the others settled down in the inn, and they didn't intend to go out, they ate, slept, washed and washed in the room, so as not to offend anyone they didn't like.

In Rong'an Hall of the Marquis of Guangning, a noble lady about forty years old, dressed in splendid clothes, was dozing on the imperial concubine's couch, and kneeling at her feet was a young girl with a beauty mallet who was beating her legs with a beauty mallet. , beside her head, there was another beautiful servant girl gently pressing her temples on both sides.

"Mother, mother."

Suddenly, a voice came in from the outside, the beautiful woman immediately opened her eyes, waved her tender soft soup, and the two girls immediately backed away.

Soon, a man about [-] or [-] years old, dressed in fancy clothes and wearing a purple gold crown, trotted in quickly.

The beautiful woman sat up, looked at the man who came in with loving eyes, and said angrily: "Look at you, you are going to be a father, and you are so careless, and you walk so fast, if your father saw it, you would have to scold him. It's going to be cold today, you can catch the wind and catch the cold carefully."

"Mother, listen to me, who do you think I saw just now?" The man interrupted her, urgently.

The beautiful woman was taken aback: "Who is it?"

"It's Song Xiao, the flirtatious boy from the Marquis of Anqing, and the third son, Song Fei."

The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback when she heard this, blinked her big watery eyes and said, "So what?"

"Mother, what Duan Zhong said that day, is that bitch Ning Zhenguang engaged to a country girl? And that wild girl has some friendship with Song Fei, right?" The man said, "Just now I saw the two brothers Song Fei and accompanied him I brought a girl into the city and stayed at the Chengyu Inn. As soon as I saw that girl's uncouth appearance, I knew she was the fiancée of that bastard Ning Zhenguang."

"Are you serious?" The beautiful woman frowned and said, "What are they here for?"

"Who knows, I just want to know, but that soil turtle and Ning Zhenguang are really a match, a perfect match! Hmph! That bastard has oppressed me for the rest of my life, this time I am better than him Well, at least the main wife of the young master is the daughter of the Hou family, hehe!" The man said proudly.

That's right, this pair of mother and son is Ning Guang's stepmother, the current Mrs. Ning Wu, the Marquis of Guangning, and this man is her son, Ning Zhenhong.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu glanced at him, puzzled in her eyes. What did that girl come to Beijing to do? Could it be that she came to check on her family?
