It had been a while since she arrived in the capital, and Shen Xi expected that Yu Niang should have met with the people behind her.

On the eve of the entrance examination, Shen Xi didn't want to have any contact with Yu Niang and the forces behind her, for fear of being distracted by it, but looking at the content of Yu Niang's invitation, it was said that there was an "important matter to discuss", which was clearly something to ask for, Shen Xi owed Yu Niang a favor to the boss, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye anyway.

The place where Yu Niang made an appointment was not an inn, but a house near Chongwen Gate.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, from the canal into Beijing, can only take the Chongwenmen line, the waterway traffic is very convenient, at the same time, the official regulations all the goods into the city are "to Chongwenmen and pay the three taxes of the ship", so that the Chongwenmen area forms a prosperous market area.

In addition to Chongwen Gate, there are markets near the four gates of the imperial city of Beijing, the four arches of the east, the four arches of the west, the bell and drum towers, as well as Chaoyang, Anding, Xizhi, Fucheng and Xuanwumen, especially the chessboard street of Zhengyangmen and the lamp market of Donghua Gate, the city god temple market of Fuxing Gate, and the inner city in Dong'anmen are the most prosperous and lively.

After Shen Xi arrived in the capital, except for warming books at home, that is, near the rented courtyard, he had never visited these rumored downtown areas, so that he didn't even know how to go to Chongwenmen this time.

Fortunately, there are many sedan chairmen and carriages in the city, and sedan chairs and carriages can be hired everywhere, and the sedan grooms and sedan chair drivers are like taxi drivers in later generations, who know every street in the city clearly.

The area division of the capital is dominated by the square, and the shops are under the square, followed by the streets and alleys and alleys.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the capital was extremely prosperous, and there were no empty places along the way, and the houses and shops filled up the entire Jingshi.

The ordinary houses in the capital are mainly courtyard houses, and the small door and small households are ordinary courtyard houses with narrow patios, while the large gate houses are "big courtyard houses", also known as "big mansion gates". It belongs to the composite quadrangle, usually five south and five north or seven south and seven north, which is composed of a number of quadrangle courtyards that are deeply linked to form a front yard, a back yard, an east courtyard, a west courtyard, a courtyard, a partial courtyard, a side courtyard, a cross courtyard, a study courtyard, a surrounding courtyard, a horse number and so on.

And the place where Yu Niang lives is a big courtyard. The pattern of five south and five north.

This kind of courtyard is generally the residence of dignitaries, Shen Xi doesn't know whether Yu Niang bought or rented the courtyard, judging from the pattern of the main entrance of the courtyard, it should be the courtyard with the prefix of the official. If the civilians buy it, the gate of the courtyard must be renovated, and there can be no trespassing in the etiquette system.

Zhu Shan stood at the door, looked at the vermilion lacquer gate, and exclaimed, "It's so big." ”

In the past, she lived in the Lu family, and she already felt that the Lu family's big mansion was like a palace, but compared with the courtyard in front of her, it was a small thing.

Shen Xi asked her to step forward and knock on the door, and after a while, the door opened a small gap from the inside, and a coquettish voice came from inside: "Who are you?" ”

"At the invitation of Yu Niang. Come and pay a visit. ”

Shen Xi first made sure that he didn't admit the wrong door, and then handed over the post.

Although the girl inside was young, she was literate, and after she read the invitation handed over by Shen Xi, she opened the door, lowered her head and said, "Shen Gongzi is please." ”

Shen Xi took Zhu Shan inside, and entered the main courtyard through the porch, where a few apricot trees were planted, but now it was a cold winter moon, and the trees were bare. The scenery is nothing.

The maid took the two of them into the main hall, and then said coquettishly: "Niangniang went out...... The slave and maid went first to pass the word. ”

Listening to the accent, it seems that it is not from Fujian, but the Wu Nong accent in the Jiangnan area.

Shen Xi guessed that Yu Niang was on her way to the capital. I bought some young girls along the way, after all, she was going to return to her old business and open a green building after arriving in Beijing. As for the title "Niangniang", it is a kind of honorific title for female elders in many local dialects in the south.

Not long after the girl went in and passed the message, she came out and said, "Brother, please go in and wait." ”

Shen Xi nodded and stood up, Zhu Shan was just about to get up. Shen Xi waved his hand: "Xiaoshan, you wait for me here, I'll come out in a while." ”

"Got it, young master."

Zhu Shan is very obedient. After getting along with each other in the past few months, she is very respectful to Shen Xi, the young master, and she also knows that with her stupid brain, as long as she obeys her orders, in short, Shen Xi will not harm her, and will provide her with good food and drink. Since he met Shen Xi, he has lived an extremely happy life.

Shen Xi followed the girl inside, after two courtyards, the two came to the east wing of the side courtyard, and the girl said, "The female brother is waiting inside." ”

Shen Xi was a little strange who the "female brother" in the girl's mouth was. The girls under Yu Niang are all ranked as sisters, and if the girl is new, everyone is her "female brother".

Shen Xi walked to the door and knocked on the door, and Yun Liu's voice came from inside: "Shen Gongzi?" Come in. ”

Hearing Yun Liu's voice, Shen Xi was not so guarded.

Yu Niang is not at home, if Xi'er is bad, she will still use it to trick him, but Yunliu is a lady, and she has a lot of respect for him before, Shen Xi can see that that respect is not false, but sincere.

As soon as Shen Xi pushed the door open, he felt that something was wrong, and there was the sound of water coming from inside.

Shen Xi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, a girl was bathing in it, what did he say when he came in at this time? Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Yun Liu's voice came: "Son, please take care of yourself first, the little woman will clean up, and then come out to greet her." ”

Don't look at it, but Shen Xi still couldn't help but take a look inside, but saw that there was a curtain between the inner room and the outer room, and only a vague figure could be seen.

Since there was no direct look between the inner room and the outer room, Shen Xi was not so formal, so he casually found a wooden chair in the outhouse and sat down.

In a short time, the girl who had just welcomed the guests had already served tea.

The sound of rustling came one after another, and Shen Xi heard it in his ears, and his imagination came to mind. He didn't know why Yunliu was bathing in the afternoon of winter, maybe the temperature was a little higher at this time.

After a while, Yun Liu came out of it, not only changed into a tender yellow Luo shirt, but also the hair accessories had been tidied up, but just after bathing, the beautiful face was smeared with a layer of crimson, and the hair of ** was draped over the shoulders.

With a sneering smile, ethereal like a god!

Shen Xi got up and said, "Miss Yunliu is bathing, she shouldn't have bothered." ”

Yun Liu smiled lightly and said a thousand blessings, and then said: "Shen Gongzi has seen the outside, you are a nobleman." Yu Niang is not here, how dare the little woman snub? Shen Gongzi, please sit down and ......"

Shen Xi looked up at Yun Liu's hair that had not yet dried, and said, "It's cold in the north, so it's not appropriate to bathe too much in winter." ”

Yun Liu smiled: "It's okay. The little girl was originally from the north, and she was quite adapted to the weather in the north, so she took a nap today and took a fresh bath after getting up...... Originally, I was going to visit my son with Yu Niang tonight, how could the little girl not know the etiquette? ”

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Because you want to visit me." So take a shower and change clothes first, is this ceremony too grand? If I don't come, I guess Yu Niang also knows where I live, it seems that the power behind her is really good, I don't know if it's the six yamen, or the factory guard? ”

At the moment, he said: "I don't know if Yu Niang has anything important, you must let me come over?" ”

Yun Liu shook his head and said, "The slave family doesn't know either...... Or wait for Gongzi to ask Yu Niang in person, and he will definitely get a satisfactory answer...... Childe, please have tea. ”

Shen Xi didn't come to be a guest to gossip, if it weren't for Yu Niang's solemn writing on the invitation. He wouldn't visit a place like this where it's all women.

Yu Niang said that she came to the capital to join her old friend, but she was a woman, where did she come from? Even where this house came from is full of mystery!

Shen Xi was thinking, should he come back to visit another day? At this time, Xi'er walked in from the outside, and when she saw Shen Xi, Dai's eyebrows immediately frowned.

"Who should I be, it's you!"

Xi'er squinted at Shen Xi, and her tone was a little arrogant.

Although she is already an "old friend", Shen Xi met her at the age of ten. It's been almost three years now, but Xi'er's brutal and willful character hasn't changed much.

This character appears in the wind and dust woman, which has all kinds of harm but no benefit, but Xi'er is different from the ordinary wind and dust woman. There is no need to please men to live, but in Shen Xi's eyes, he has formed a maverick charm.

Yun Liu scolded: "Sister, don't be rude to Shen Gongzi!" Come and see ......."

Although Xi'er was reluctant, she still walked over angrily and saluted Shen Xi.

Shen Xi didn't know where she got so much anger, and smiled faintly. Then turn your head to one side. When she turned her head to look at her again, Xi'er bit her lower lip tightly, and seemed to be getting more and more annoyed.

Yun Liu said: "Yu Niang sent an invitation to the inn a few days ago, but I didn't see Shen Gongzi, I don't know where Shen Gongzi is now?" ”

"It's not very convenient to live in the capital, the capital is the best place, the guest house costs a lot of money, and the female dependents around you also have a lot of inconvenience, so it's better to find a secluded yard to live in."

Xi'er was indignant: "If you know this, then you still have to bring your daughter out?" ”

Yun Liu glared at Xi'er again, Xi'er had a bitter face, lowered her head and sulked.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "If I don't know, I think she is interested in me." But I am five or six years apart from her, and she has a lot of grievances against me, how is this possible? The thoughts of this daughter's family are really unpredictable. ”

Shen Xi and Yun Liu chatted a few more words, asking whether the two sides were suitable for life and living after arriving in the capital, Yun Liu came out of the wind and dust, never mentioned the matter of Fengyue, and Shen Xi would not discuss anything with Yun Liu, except for this kind of polite greeting, in fact, there is no common language between the two.

While Shen Xi and Yun Liu were talking, Xi'er stood next to him without saying a word.

After a while, Shen Xi said: "If Yu Niang doesn't return for the time being, let's come back tomorrow." ”

"No, no."

Yun Liu hurriedly dissuaded, "Yu Niang has an explanation, if Shen Gongzi arrives in the past two days, before she comes back, no matter what, she must leave Gongzi." This matter is very important, the little woman does not dare to make decisions on her own, please stay a little longer, otherwise...... The little woman is not easy to explain to Yu Niang. ”

Shen Xixin said that this is really a strong guest, I came, and you didn't say anything, let me wait here.

But on second thought, if Yu Niang was just to open a green building or to settle these girls around her, there was no need to ask him for help. Or what Yu Niang wants to say to him is related to Yu Niang's own identity and origin. If that's the case, it's okay to wait.

Yun Liu said: "If Shen Gongzi is bored, you might as well have the little woman play a song for Shen Gongzi......"

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "No need, it's rare for Miss Yunliu to redeem her nationality, so why do you want to do something reluctant?" ”

Yun Liu's face was a little shy: "It is a little woman's honor to be able to stroke the qin for Shen Gongzi." Yu Niang originally wanted to send the little girl to Shen Gongzi, but unfortunately the little girl was not blessed......"

"It's a joke, it's a joke."

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, in order to achieve something, Yu Niang wanted to give Yunliu and Xi'er to Shen Xi in the name of gratitude, but he refused.

Obviously, Xi'er's anger and Yunliu's inferiority complex all stem from this incident.

As far as the matter itself is concerned, Xi'er and Yunliu may not have the intention of making a promise to each other, but Xi'er is unwilling to even be given away for nothing, and Yunliu feels that Shen Xi dislikes her appearance and background.

Now that it came to this, Shen Xi didn't dare to stay any longer, so he stood up and said, "We might as well move to the main hall and wait for Yu Niang to come back......"

Yun Liu bowed slightly, and was about to get up, when the girl from before came in and said timidly: "Shen Gongzi, two female brothers, Niangniang is back." ”

While talking, I saw a jade girl dressed in men's clothes, entering the side courtyard and coming to the room.
