Chapter 71 Spring is here
On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.
It was already early spring in the blink of an eye, and it was the season for animals and so on again.
The lingering spring rain suddenly becomes endless. I am afraid that after a rain, the inside and outside of Chang'an City will be full of green.
After entering the palace late at night last time, Xu Buling took a few days to rest at home. First, he and the Empress Dowager were not close or not. If they entered the palace too frequently, they would definitely attract the attention of those who were interested.
Secondly, the possessiveness is too obvious and it will be counterproductive. It would be better for Empress Dowager Geng to wait for her to come and send the invitation for a few days. The "Lotus Hidden Carp" is still in her hand, and the Empress Dowager will definitely not be able to bear it for long.
As expected, the empress dowager in the palace waited for a few days, but when she saw that he had no reaction at all, she obviously couldn't hold it in. She invited him to go to Changle Palace tomorrow on the grounds of going to the palace to sit.
This time I have to prepare in advance to enter the palace and do my sincerity first. As for the effect, I can only talk about it at that time.
At noon, Xu Buling walked out of the palace with an oil-paper umbrella. Because it was raining, he didn't ride a horse. He walked in the city of Chang'an City and watched the various things that he had never seen carefully for a year.
Because of the beginning of spring, Chang'an City has become much more prosperous. The number of foreigners on the streets has increased. A wide range of goods has gradually arrived in Chang'an, and the exchanges and trades have begun year after year.
Although Northern Qi and Dayue were hostile, Dayue was short of horses and Northern Qi was short of iron. The two sides were in a stable confrontation for more than 60 years without a war. Bilateral trade has been opened up. As the days go by, the envoys of Northern Qi were coming soon.
As for Hu Yanjie, the envoy of the "Baisha Kingdom", although the things were not cheated, the Ministry of Rites lost an adult. The Minister of Rites was pointed at the nose and scolded "derogatory" by Qi Xinghan, which almost cursed the Minister of Rites to death at the court meeting. It would be impossible to think about the fish-eyed beads in the future.
The drizzle was drizzling, hitting the green tiles on the eaves on the street.
Xu Buling came to the back street of Dayefang with an umbrella and stopped outside a small tea stall.
The pedestrians on the street are sparse, and the time is not right, so people from the surrounding gambling houses gathered on the tea stalls on the street, listening to the storyteller's mouth:
"That's right, the iron spear man fought with Prince Su for 300 times, but the fight was only because the heaven and earth changed color and the sun and the moon were gone. At the moment of life and death, Prince Su waved his sleeves and shouted "Swords" and the hundred wolves and geese around were unsheathed, and then the iron spear man was slashed and the swords were cut off..."
"good--"
Slap sex-
The tea shop is full of cheers. The storyteller's passage "After entering the Renyi Hall" is full of passion and countless listeners are excited.
Under the eaves next to the tea stall, a girl in black dressed in black looked with her toes and looked relish and proud.
Xu Buling listened to the black line, but the people in the city liked this, and no one listened to it without saying it was exaggerated. He didn't care at the moment, and walked behind the girl in black and covered her head with an oil paper umbrella.
Zhu Manzhi was focused on fishing at work. Suddenly, he felt that there was someone behind him. He thought he was blocking the way, so he moved two steps to the side and continued to listen to the book with his toes.
"Ahem—"
A familiar cough came from my ears, Zhu Manzhi's whole body stiffened, and then his smile stained his cheeks. He hurriedly turned around, looked up at Xu Buling, who was close to him, and said crisply:
"Mr. Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Buling curled his lips and turned around and walked towards the street:
"Go to Xianzhizhai to shop, buy something, and go together?"
Zhu Manzhi was naturally happy, so he ran to the front and took down the oil paper umbrella, and raised it high to cover Xu Buling's head:
"Okay, I just happened to earn a lot of money with Xiaoning a few days ago. What kind of rouge is Mr. Xu likes? I'll treat you!"
Xu Buling took off the wine pot from his waist and took a sip, looking at Xiao Manzhi who was excited:
"I don't need rouge."
"oh……"
Zhu Manzhi walked in the rain with an umbrella. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt the taste.
Buy rouge...
Zhu Manzhi's expression changed a little bit, she blinked her big eyes and asked casually:
"Mr. Xu...who should I buy rouge for?"
"Of course I'm buying rouge for women."
"Oh..." Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then looked indifferent: "Huh~ Mr. Xu is so handsome, whose girl is so ignorant that she actually asked you to run errands in person..." It seemed to be arguing for Xu Buling.
Xu Buling secretly felt funny, he thought about it a little...
Bang-
A slight crisp sound rang out in the rain curtain of the alley on the street.
Zhu Manzhi was so excited that her face turned red and her buttocks were hot.
Xu Buling's face was not changed, and he walked slowly with his hands on his back, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs.
Zhu Manzhi frowned and stared at her big eyes slowly. After enduring for a while, she still muttered in dissatisfaction:
"Mr. Xu...what are you doing?"
Xu Bu Rui's expression was dull: "There are mosquitoes."
"mosquito?"
Zhu Manzhi looked around and looked at the chilly February rainy day, full of doubt:
“Is there any?”
"I have a clear ear and ear, and there is only one that has been killed."
He is naturally cold-faced, and he says the same as the truth.
Zhu Manzhi was half-believing and half-doubted, quietly rubbed his buttocks that were a little painful, and said angrily:
"Young Master said there is...that's right..."
Xu Buling said seriously and continued to move under the oil-paper umbrella.
The two walked apart in the rain. Zhu Manzhi had a strange expression. He was about to walk out of the alley, and suddenly he gently bumped Xu Buling's arm with his shoulder.
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows and turned his head: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Manzhi bit her lower lip and showed a little shyness. She lowered her head and hesitated for a while before she said with a mosquito:
"Mr. Xu, I'm not stupid."
Xu Buling looked puzzled and looked at her in confusion.
Zhu Manzhi pursed her lips, thought about it, and then bumped into Xu Buling's shoulder.
Xu Buling's face darkened: "You try to bump it again?"
"Just try..."
Zhu Manzhi held the corner of her skirt, looking dissatisfied, and then she wanted to hit Xu Buling again.
Unexpectedly, this time I bumped into Xu Buling and directly hit him.
"ah-"
Zhu Manzhi was hugged and pressed against Xu Buling's chest, and his smile suddenly became nervous, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look up holding an oil-paper umbrella.
Xu Buling smiled, hugged the tight little girl, raised his hand and patted her lightly:
"Manzhi, I treat you as a brother. What do you want to do?"
Zhu Manzhi was tightly tied by his arms around her waist, with a embarrassed look and shook her head:
"I'm a female..."
"Brothers of the opposite sex."
“…”
Zhu Manzhi blushed like an apple, and did not struggle, but just shook her head like a dull gourd.
Xu Buling raised her hand and raised her chin, looking puzzled:
"If you don't want to be a brother, then what do you want to do with me?"
Zhu Manzhi's eyes dodged, held the oil-paper umbrella and twisted it for a long time before he could calm down and laughed:
"Being a guest, Mr. Xu said that I will be a guest. We are all people with status in the world, and we will do our best..."
Xu Buling held the little girl who was not very heavy with one hand, and her chest was warm, and she shook her head seriously:
"As the saying goes, 'There is no free lunch in the world,' I agree. Maybe my father will not agree. The guest of Su's mansion is as skilled as Ning Qingye. You are not very good at martial arts and can't give advice. How can you be a guest?"
Zhu Manzhi's little face felt a little aggrieved, her eyes turned and she whispered: "Actually... Xiao Ning is actually a little beautiful, her martial arts skills are more famous, I...I..." After a long time, I couldn't think of a better place than Ning Qingye. Her face was so hot that she could only say vaguely:
"Anyway...oh, Mr. Xu, aren't you going to buy rouge? It'll be dark later..."
"Anyway, there is no one in the palace, so it's okay if you don't go back tonight. Let's talk slowly."
“…”
Zhu Manzhi blushed and held it in for a long time, but still didn't dare to say anything. She twisted and broke free from Xu Buling's arm, then ran behind Xu Buling and pushed Xu Buling out of the alley:
"You're leaving. You have to go back to the yamen tonight. If you go back late, you will be deducted from your monthly salary and you will not be delayed..."
