Chapter 001: Shocking Horse
Jinjing, the capital of the Xu Dynasty.
It was early April, spring was full of flowers and grass and trees were flourishing.
There was a prosperous scene at the foot of the emperor. The blue brick and stone road leading to the city gate was filled with various stalls on both sides, with hawking sounds one after another, and the atmosphere was full of vitality and excitement everywhere.
Among the crowds entering the city, a low-key and gorgeous double-shaft carriage was caught in the crowd and drove slowly, stopping several feet away from the city gate.
The boss of a fried chestnut stall on the side of the road was attracting passers-by guests. A tall man in a magnificent body stood in front of the stall and saw the boss staring straight ahead, as if he was stunned.
He frowned and shouted impatiently, "What are you looking at? Are you still doing business?"
"Sorry, sorry!" The boss came to his senses, his dark face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head to apologize, while pretending to be chestnuts for the big man.
Just now, he looked up inadvertently and saw a woman parked in front of him lifting the curtains inside. Her face was the most beautiful he had ever seen, which made him almost crazy.
I have never seen such a beautiful woman, like a fairy descending to earth. I don’t know which wife is from? The carriage should be the daughter of a certain family or a Jinmen embroidery household.
When he looked up again, a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old jumped off the carriage. He was dressed in a neutral dress, his hair was tied up, his eyebrows were tied with a purple forehead, his facial features were beautiful and his expression was cold. If he didn't pay attention to the slight bulge on his chest, he would definitely think he was a pretty man.
"Boss, give me two kilograms of chestnuts." Lan Yi walked over and said to the boss.
"Okay." The boss grinned with his big mouth, picked up the spatula and fryed the chestnuts in the wok, then filled a bag and handed it to Lan Yi, "Young master, I've got it, it's very hot."
"Who are you calling me?" Lan Yi glanced at the boss angrily, "Silver."
As she said that, she threw the silver. The boss was stunned for a moment before he realized that he hurriedly reached out to catch the silver.
When he looked up again, he saw that the boy had already walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain. The boss wanted to look at the little lady in the carriage again, but unfortunately the curtain blocked his view. Until the carriage left, he did not see the little lady in the carriage again.
"Girl, I bought you the chestnut." Lan Yi got on the carriage, put down the curtains, looked up, and saw her girl leaning against the window, lifting up the half-open curtains, and staring at the word "Jinjing" above the city gate.
Chu Xinyu did not respond, and still maintained his original posture, his expression remained calm.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Lan Yi asked Zhu Bo with her eyes.
Zhu Bo shook his head. After the carriage stopped, the girl kept staring at this, not knowing what she was thinking, and was rushing day and night. Maybe she was tired. Thinking of it, she reached out to take the chestnut in her hand, and felt that the paper bag was a little hot, so she hurriedly put it down.
"Miss, do you want to eat chestnuts?" Zhu Bo asked.
"You eat it." Chu Xinyu came to her senses, and a faint smile flashed across her pink lips. She used to be allergic to chestnuts, but she still dared not eat it.
Then he ordered, "Let's go into the city." If you can't stop, the carriage behind you will have an objection.
"Okay, we are finally back." Zhu Bo was a little excited. After waiting for more than two years, he finally returned to Jinjing City, which had been growing for more than ten years.
It was almost noon, and the city was more lively than outside the city. The streets were spacious and flat, and there were a lot of shops, lined up. Along the way, I saw many shops selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, books, four treasures of the study, as well as wine shops. The business was booming and the guests were endless.
The carriage drove forward slowly. Chu Xinyu, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted up the curtains and lingered in the shops, inns, teahouses and stalls next to the street, as if looking for something.
Until the carriage turned a corner and drove into Tongque Street, and passed a pastry shop called "Zhenbao" that Chu Xinyu suddenly asked the driver to park the carriage aside, and then instructed Lan Yi to go to the store to buy two boxes of durian crisps.
Lan Yi jumped out of the car and walked towards the store.
Zhu Bo, who was sitting in front of the carriage, twisted his stiff waist, looked back and lifted the curtain, and said to it: "Girl, didn't you hate eating durian the most before?"
She remembered that the girl hated the taste of durian the most in the past. Every time she saw someone eating durian, she either avoided it from afar or asked someone to throw it away, so that she could not even leave a scent.
Chu Xinyu glanced at her faintly, put down the curtains, leaned on the pillow with a graceful look, "When people grow up, the things they like will naturally have similarities and similarities with the past."
In fact, it’s not that she wants to eat it, but a woman who missed her hometown once mentioned the durian pastry in front of her many times, saying that it was one of her favorites. If she had the chance to return to her hometown, she would definitely buy it for her to try it.
It’s just that fate is a mess. Although it’s four years late, she still comes to Jinjing, and the woman is no longer there.
Zhubo felt that the girl said something was reasonable, for example, when she was a child, she didn't like to eat Chinese cabbage, but when she grew up, she could accept it miraculously. For example, her own girl used to dress with a very strange taste and had thick makeup, but she hadn't seen her apply any makeup powder in the past two years, and she had never even touched those strange costumes.
Although the girl is simple and bare-faced, she is still as beautiful as a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world. Sometimes she can't bear to look at the girl's face and even look away.
Just like at this moment, after several days and nights of travel, the boat was exhausted and the road was chased by unknown people, but the girl looked tired but not embarrassed. Instead, she added a bit of weak beauty to her and was pitying!
Maybe this is called a girl who changes her age.
However, she likes the girl when she grows up very much!
Seeing that the girl's face was a little tired and her clothes were too simple, Zhu Bo suggested, "Girl, I'll be there in the Marquis' Mansion in two cups of tea, so I won't let me dress up for you." Although the girl is also very beautiful without dressing up, she wanted the girl to be more beautiful so that those who had laughed at her would take back their words.
"No need." Chu Xinyu shook his head and said, "You go to the store and ask Lan Yi to buy more other pastries. The Hou Mansion may not have prepared our lunch."
Zhu Bo jumped out of the car after a sound, but she had just taken two steps, and somehow, her calf suddenly became numb and she fell to the ground without any hesitation.
Seeing this, the groom jumped out of his seat and wanted to get up with bamboo and silk, but at this moment, the horse behind him was stimulated by some reason, and suddenly screamed with a fierce roar, jumped up with his front hooves, and ran forward like crazy.
The carriage passed by the two, and Zhu Bo was shocked, "Girl..."
Zhu Bo was so scared that he had not returned to his position, so he instinctively stepped on his legs and chased forward.
The people on both sides did not expect a disaster to occur suddenly. Horses spread their hooves and ran wildly. Several stalls were knocked over by fast-moving carriages, and goods were spread all over the floor with the overturned stalls.
The order on the street was disrupted in an instant, and the pedestrians on the road screamed and fled around to hide.
The groom also chased after Zhu Bo, but unfortunately they could not run through the horse's four hooves, and the carriage that was unmanned was completely out of control, rushing around like a headless fly without restraint.
Several people who could not hide were affected by fish in the pond. The wind of horses galloped over them to the ground. At the same time, several stout men wanted to bravely come forward to stop them, but they were all swept back by the strong wind.
When Chu Xinyu in the car ran and bumped into the car, due to inertia, her body fell backwards and her head hit the wall of the carriage, and suddenly she had a star. She didn't know what was going on. She just stood up, but because she didn't stand firm, she fell backwards and hit the back of the skull again.
The carriage swayed from east to west, screaming on the street, and the wind kept blowing up the curtains of the small window of the carriage. Chu Xinyu watched the shops on both sides of the street retreat quickly, and the crowd hid on both sides. If he didn't know what had happened, he had lived for so many years in vain.
Lan Yi, who had bought durian crisps, walked out of the store and found that there was chaos ahead. When she saw clearly that the carriage was running wildly was her own carriage, her face suddenly changed.
Lan Yi threw down his subordinates and was about to run forward. A blue figure behind her was faster than her. The other party flew past her, jumped and ran a few times, quickly caught the carriage, sat in the coachman's position, grabbed the reins, and pulled it hard, trying to stop the carriage running wildly. However, the horse was crazy and out of control at all.
At this moment, a woman carrying a basket suddenly crossed the road. She seemed to have not heard or seen the situation in the street, and she bowed her head and walked regardless of the situation.
The crowd who dodged the scene was shocked to find this scene. Those who responded quickly shouted that she should avoid it quickly, and even the boy in blue on the horse shouted that the woman would dodge it.
However, just as the horse was about to hit the woman, a long sword flew from somewhere to accurately pass through the gaps of the wheels, stuck between the gaps between the two bluestone roads, and tightly fixed the wheels.
Chu Xinyu tried hard to stabilize her body. When she wanted to climb out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, the carriage was not sure what obstacles were, and it stopped abruptly in the long neighing sound. However, she suddenly stopped due to the carriage, and caused by inertia, she fell back to the soft seat.
Very dangerous!
Chu Xinyu was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. Although it hurts when he fell, the danger finally passed.
Lan Yi and Zhu Bo ran to the carriage almost at the same time, lifting the curtains anxiously.
Zhu Bo climbed into the carriage and saw Chu Xinyu's messy hair, her eyes were swollen, and her voice was trembling, "Girl, are you okay?" As he said that, he grabbed her shoulders and looked up and down, and found a scratch on the back of her hand, and then said nervously: "Are you injured?"
Chu Xinyu raised his hand and looked at the back of his hand. The wound was not big, and a little skin was broken and a blood mark was oozed. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, a little bit of injury, it's okay in two days."
When Lan Yi heard that Chu Xinyu was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the woman crossing the street falling to the ground, looking scared, she hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up and apologized.
The woman waved her head and hands again. When she saw the herbs in the basket fell to the ground, she hurriedly bent over to pick them up, and then said nothing, leaving quickly. When the people on both sides saw that the danger was under control, they began to talk.
Some people are glad that they can escape this disaster, some people praise the boy in blue, and some are curious about whose carriage belongs to, why the horse suddenly goes crazy?
While everyone pointed and pointed, Chu Xinyu had already sorted out herself and got out of the car with Zhubo. She wanted to thank the boy in blue, but saw him holding Ma'er's neck and not knowing what to do.
"Thank you, the young master, for helping you. Xin Yu is very grateful."
The boy in blue turned around and saw Chu Xinyu wearing a white long skirt with pink plum blossoms embroidered on the hem and a wide orange belt around his waist, showing his slim figure.
Sanqian black silk was tied up with a delicately carved plum hairpin. Although the bun was a little messy and a little drooping, there was no sense of incongruity. Her face was covered with a plain veil and she couldn't see her face clearly. However, the part that was not covered by the veil was as beautiful as green feathers and her eyes were as autumn water. She must be absolutely extraordinary.
So he grinned, revealed two rows of white teeth, and bowed, "Miss, you don't have to be polite, but it's just a small effort, so there's no thanks. Besides, this is not my credit alone."
As he said that, he took a step back, glanced at the wheel of the car, and then raised his eyes to Fumanlou, which was diagonally opposite.
