Chapter 614 Who is not a heroine these days? [5k4, please vote for me!]
"You stand here and don't move around. I'll buy some fruit and wait until I come back."
"Sister, let's go home, why are you so sneaky? I can walk on this Xunyang Ferry with my eyes closed! By the way, did that greasy little official just take a peek at us? If we hadn't had an important responsibility, I wouldn't have done it.
To make him look good, I dug out his dog eyes."
"Shut up. Wait."
"..."
In the morning, the sky is clear and clear, with blue sky and white clouds.
At the Xunyang Ferry Pier, a large ship was docked at the ferry, and a wave of hundreds of passengers were being dropped off. They took out customs clearance documents and passed the inspection checkpoint at the terminal.
After the inspection, the passengers, one after another, walked out of Xunyang Ferry under the supervision of the little official from the Shipping Department who looked rather impatient, and merged into Xingzifang, a long street along the river with bustling traffic and constant hawking.
I don't know how many large ships like this, which can carry hundreds of passengers, dock at Xunyang Ferry every day.
Among the current batch of passengers who landed, there were two rather handsome and eye-catching "gongzi brothers" figures, standing on the street, whispering to each other, discussing for a while, and separated temporarily.
One continued to wait on the street, while the other went to the roadside stall to buy something.
Occasionally, among the pedestrians passing by, someone would take a second look.
The two "gongzi brothers" took a closer look and found that they were two women disguised as men.
This is quite normal in the current Zhou Dynasty, among the ladies and maids of wealthy families.
Even women can enter the court and serve as officials, clean up the court for the queen and emperor, and whip the ministers. What happened to the girls of the Zhou Dynasty who changed their clothes and went to the streets?
You should feel confident when visiting a brothel.
The two slim "gongzi brothers" should be a pair of sisters. If you look carefully at their appearance, they are somewhat similar.
One was wearing a pale pink to white prince's brocade robe. His face was not handsome, but he was pretty. He had a slim figure, a white jade waist and a folding fan in his hand.
"Pink and White Young Master" has a gentle and elegant temperament, as quiet as a chrysanthemum.
The other one was wearing a turquoise brocade suit, holding a sword with a red tassel pendant in his arms.
There is a mole on the small nose, and the appearance and temperament are slightly inferior to the former, but I can't stand this "young man in green". He is young and beautiful, has good development, and has a more forward and backward figure. He is a type that attracts the attention of men.
Among the two girls, the pink and white young man should be older, more ladylike, gentle and calm, and looks calmer.
The young man in green is younger, more lively and chirping, holding a sword, striding out with long legs, and walking around next to the pink and white young man.
The pink and white young man seems to be used to it, and he doesn't mind making noise. He picks up the topic and replies calmly.
Ever since we got off the boat and walked out of Xunyang Ferry, she has been leading the way.
Now, I ordered the young man in green to stay where he was, while the young man in pink and white went to the street stalls and stopped to buy something.
She seemed to have asked the boss a few questions, pondered for a moment, shook her folding fan, and turned back.
Carrying the fruit, I returned to the place where I came from, but there was no sign of Mr. Tsing Yi.
The pink and white young man looked around, frowning.
After waiting there for a while, she saw the figure of the Tsing Yi Young Master leisurely returning from the corner of the street ahead. The pink and white Young Master immediately stepped forward and gave her a chestnut on the forehead.
"Where have you been? I didn't ask you to wait for me."
Her chest rose and fell for a while, and her tone was quite serious.
"Ouch, sister, please be gentle, you'll knock people silly."
Fang Shengnan covered his reddish forehead, blinked his eyes, and quickly explained:
"Sister went to inquire about the news. I can't just do nothing. I remember there is a Yunshui Pavilion on the corner in front.
"This time we went out to see the world. Didn't I make friends with two heroines? I heard from them that Yunshui Pavilion is located in every state and county in Jiangnan Province. There is a mixed crowd in the store, and many people from all walks of life go there.
"The owner behind the scenes is a powerful character with a strong background. In addition to the business of singing songs and health tea ceremonies, the store also secretly does some underworld business of selling information, which requires code words...
"Good guy, if I hadn't really noticed it before, I would have thought it was an ordinary restaurant. Sister, our trip was not in vain. We have really entered the world. You can't knock me on the head again in the future, not in front of others.
This heroine doesn’t want to lose face? As my father said, the most important thing in life is your face.”
"Finished?"
Fang Juxiu listened quietly and asked.
Fang Shengnan took a step back, his upper body holding the sword slightly tilted back, and said calmly: "I'm done... I'm done."
She saw her sister still staring at her expressionlessly, not speaking, it was an extremely familiar death stare.
Fang Shengnan immediately used his last resort...change the topic.
"Sister, when are we going to eat? I'm hungry." Fang Shengnan asked innocently.
Fang Juxiu said calmly:
"Do you know how worried I am about you because I didn't see you just now?"
After saying that, without waiting for Fang Shengnan to speak, Fang raised his sleeves and passed her directly, walking towards the street ahead without looking back. He closed the folding fan in his hand tightly and stopped fanning.
Fang Shengnan quietly stuck out his tongue and followed cautiously.
"Sister, what are we going to do now?"
Fang raised his sleeves and ignored him, looking straight ahead.
This time, Fang Shengnan behaved like a dog-legger, following his sister closely, never leaving her for a moment, and surrounded her, chattering.
The two of them walked on the street, one behind the other.
Speaking of which, Fang Juxiu looked to be in his early twenties, and Fang Shengnan was probably still under twenty.
But as the elder sister, Fang Juxiu is actually a little shorter and thinner than Fang Shengnan.
Fang Shengnan, who was taller and had a hotter figure, followed Fang Juxiu obediently.
In the eyes of passers-by, the painting styles of these two sisters are quite contrasting.
"Sister, you just went shopping, did you find out any news...
"Sister, I thought about it carefully, and you are still smart and unparalleled in wit. We have just come back. We really need to find out the situation in the city first. Asking these vendors quietly first is the safest and risk-free thing. After all, now
In the city, the government officials are very strict about checking, so you can’t just run around like me. I reflect on it, and I change my mind...
"But having said that, where are we going? Sister, why don't we go to Yunshui Pavilion? I just paid them a sum of money and they gave me a small bronze medal and asked me to go upstairs and drink something.
Health tea, please wait for news and I will reply within an hour."
Fang raised his sleeves and suddenly stopped and turned around.
"What did you ask them to do? Tell them all about us?"
Fang Shengnan noticed that his sister was staring straight at the small bronze medal she took out of her sleeve, and asked her in a serious tone.
Fang Shengnan chuckled in his heart at first. This was how he had to deal with his elder sister and get her to talk.
Although her sister is somewhat artistic and gentle, she is a rational person with stable emotions. In the words of her father and mother, she is too sensible. Whenever she has any negative emotions, she keeps them in her heart and digests them alone...
Commonly known as sulking.
He is completely different from Fang Shengnan, who has a carefree personality.
"Speak, why are you giggling?" Fang Juxiu asked with a frown.
Fang Shengnan came to his senses.
"How could you tell me the identity of the young master you are looking for? Sister, you don't believe me too much. How can you not have any sense of confidentiality? I am not an eight-year-old child..."
She held her sword, held her head high, and said proudly:
"Well, I just asked them to help find a group of local snakes who are active in the city and are well-informed, and rewarded them with a lot of money.
"Don't we know some of her features... We can ask around the corner... What do you think? It's a good idea. I don't think we can open up the situation and find the young master on the first day we enter the city."
Fang Juxiu's face returned to calmness and he pointedly pointed out:
"Do you think that if she is really hiding in the city, she will be easily seen by these people of all religions? You ask one by one, and when."
Fang Shengnan pointed his thick lower lip with his index finger and whispered:
"Then...then let's ask them to help find him based on the portrait we gave him. It's better to cast a wider net than to search like a headless fly."
Fang held up his sleeves and walked in front with a straight face, showing no intention of stopping.
A calm voice came:
"I just went to inquire about it. The situation in the city is not good now. The Supervisory Yuan and the Jiangzhou government are arresting rebel associates. Many suspects have had their homes confiscated and blocked...
"In this case, do you think it is safe and feasible for us to spread the appearance and characteristics of the little master in a big way and let the local snakes help us find someone?
"Do you think those cruel female officials in the Supervisory Yuan will not keep an eye on the movements of the gangsters in the city? Will they not notice our strange behavior?"
After hearing this, Fang Shengnan's face suddenly became clear.
"Then...what should we do?"
Demoralized, she scratched her head with a distressed expression:
"Sister, did I do something stupid?"
"What do you think?"
"I feel so stupid." She lowered her head and said in a solemn tone, "This is not what an excellent, calm and wise heroine should do."
Fang Juxiu nodded: "I really won't do this kind of thing to you."
Fang Shengnan:......
"How much money did it cost?"
Fang raised his sleeves and turned around to ask.
Fang Shengnan took out his wallet and threw it away: "Don't worry, I just paid ten taels of gold, the worst is not going to happen."
Just? Fang raised his sleeves and took a deep breath. He didn't really want to talk to the prodigal woman.
Fang Shengnan stretched his head, looked at his sister's expression in front of him, and said comfortingly:
"Hey, it doesn't matter. It's daddy's private money anyway. We still have our little purse, which is enough for us to use for half a year. Let's just save some money... Okay, I will be responsible for saving it, and my sister will be responsible for spending it."
Fang raised his sleeves and supported his forehead.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if dad noticed that the private money he hid in the attic study was missing. Hey, sister, tell me, why did dad always hide his stuff in that nook in the second-to-last row on the left side of the attic study?
"Why doesn't he build some secret rooms or something like that, which are filled with magic weapons, martial arts secrets, and the trophies left behind by his defeated generals who lost their armor?
"Well, the disgusting letters between the literary youth and the old lover in Yangzhou can also be framed and hung up, right? It can be regarded as a romantic past, recalling the glorious past.
"You said, this is very impressive. It is in line with my father's famous reputation of breaking the river with his iron hand and suppressing the war with force... which made the whole Tiannan rivers and lakes awe-inspiring and respectful."
"Keep your voice down."
Fang, who was walking in front, raised his sleeves and said with a straight face.
Fang Shengnan chuckled, lowered his voice and continued to mutter:
"Well, the main reason is that I am now familiar with the attic. It was the first time when I was a child that I secretly followed my father there and explored it in the middle of the night. It was really thrilling...Dad may be afraid that the secret room of the agency will hurt us. In his previous words, this
It is called the end of martial arts, the most simple and true, and the same is true for hiding private money."
Fang raised his sleeves and ignored it, but Fang Shengnan changed the topic:
"By the way, sister, when we return to Xunyang City this time, why don't we go home first? Go to dad's attic study and replenish some 'materials'."
Fang Juxiu then spoke, and when there was no one around him, he said:
"We can't go back. The current atmosphere in Xunyang City... we must be cautious. The female officers of the Overwatch Council are searching everywhere, and maybe they have found clues about the young master."
At this time, the two happened to walk into a deserted alley. She turned back and patted Fang Shengnan on the shoulder.
The latter found that her sister's tone was particularly serious and solemn:
"Katsuo, remember, we are taking a big risk when we come back this time. We are not just traveling around and visiting our families. In the words you often say, if you join this world, you will become a member of the world.
, the rivers and lakes are all over the rivers and lakes, and we can no longer bring the slightest bit of danger back to our original homes.
"If we haven't been in contact with that place before this trip and just have a longing for it, then forget it, but this time we took Yunmeng Ling there to participate in a secret meeting, and even met the legendary Ernujun...
…
"Now in the eyes of the imperial government, we are the rebel accomplices of Tiannan Jianghu. If we are caught, we will be beheaded directly... But the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. If we don't fight for this time, our future life will be just a glance.
Getting an ordinary head, marrying someone you don't like, caring for your husband and raising children, living with daily necessities, and your blood is getting cold... just like those cousins at home? Boredom is more terrifying than death, do you understand?"
"I know, sister!"
Fang Shengnan waved his fist fiercely:
"No one wants me to breastfeed a brat! She even got attacked by a brat in public and made her face wet. Only my cousin can bear it."
"Um."
Fang Juxiu looked thoughtful and answered casually, as if he was planning something.
After thinking about it, Fang Shengnan snorted again:
"However, if there are any female officials of the Supervisory Yuan who are not smart, or the little governor named Ouyang Lianghan, they really dare to cause trouble for our family and force my father to go out, why can't he kill them with one palm? Eh.
, By then, daddy’s affairs will no longer be hidden. You said that my mother would probably regret being so strict with daddy before, because she felt that she spoke too loudly to him before."
Fang Juxiu couldn't help but take another look at Fang Shengnan, who looked longingly. He didn't know how to reply, so he just nodded.
"Yeah. But we can't bring the fire into the house unless we have to."
"I know." Fang Shengnan nodded, then said with a somewhat envious look on his face: "Sister, we have really seen the world during this trip and met many big people. By the way, isn't our Yunmeng Token special? I think those people think of us.
My attitude seems to be a little different from others... I have learned a lot this time. I really want to go back now and tell my father, no, I have to hold back for now."
"It's indeed different. They know the person behind this Yunmeng Token, and they know that we are the nephews and juniors of that senior. After all, we also submitted a secret letter for that senior, and we should be mentioned in the secret letter.
It makes Yunmeng Jianze trust us a little bit..."
"Sister, daddy took you to see that senior. What does he look like? Is he also in Xunyang City?"
Fang raised his sleeves and shook his head, saying nothing.
Fang Shengnan looked longingly:
"Dad can get to know that senior. As expected, dad is well hidden, although he is relatively low-key...
"By the way, sister, the second lady seemed to have a good impression of you. She came over for a while. There were about ten of us in the hall. She only said one more word to you and not to me at all.
, I guess he thought I was out of place, even if he misjudged me.
"But I still envy you, sister, for being noticed by the Second Lady. I think the other Yue girls seem to have looked at my sister more. It shouldn't be difficult for my sister to join Yunmeng Jianze."
"maybe."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely."
Fang Shengnan lowered his head, his tone inexplicably low:
"I know that my sister came back this time with the idea of finding a Yunmeng Token for me. She wants us to enter Jianze together and become Yue women.
"A Yunmeng Token can give one person a chance to enter, but after careful screening, it is not possible to get in with just one Yunmeng Token... Although I am sure it can be done, I just lack a Yunmeng Token, even if it is the last
No matter how ordinary it is, it’s not easy to come across this good opportunity, which was hard to come by before.”
Fang Juxiu shook his head, then shook his head again.
She took out a bronze dagger from her sleeve and stared at it.
I saw that this bronze dagger seemed to be a little different from the ordinary ones. The number of claws carved on the evil dragon was different, and the format looked more noble and ancient...
"I have to follow the rules and rely on the two ladies to be appreciated. It's just a fake show of strength. I will be despised by others when I go in.
"And we can't use this Yunmeng Token. That senior agreed to lend it to us so that we can come and attend this secret meeting in Tiannanjianghu while delivering the letter. It's already a great gift. This Yunmeng Token
I will pay it back when I come back this time.
“But we have been able to get this opportunity, which is really an unexpected surprise.
"Katsuo, remember, we have to fight for what we want, and be upright. In this way, even if our father and mother object in the future, they will at least look at us a little higher and know that we are not children anymore.
"When we return to Xunyang City this time, if we can find traces of the young master, we can get our Yunmeng Token and have the opportunity to enter Jianze.
"So, Katsuo, this time I'm not just fighting for you, but also fighting for myself."
"I see."
Fang Shengnan nodded vigorously.
Fang raised his sleeves and let out a breath, looked at the Shuangfengjian Xunyang Grottoes in the distance, and said to himself:
"What a rare opportunity. We happen to be locals in Xunyang City and we have to come back to return the Yunmeng Ling. However, even with that senior's letter, Jianze still tested us for a long time before revealing this to us.
, tell the young master about his appearance... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed."
"Okay, okay."
Fang Shengnan clenched his fists and said with a serious face:
"Sister, who do you think this young master is? Could he be a female monarch? But can someone who is mute and blind also be a female monarch?"
Fang raised his sleeves and lowered his head, and suddenly said: "Yes, and it's still... more virgin."
Fang Shengnan was stunned, and then said in disbelief:
"How is it possible? Yue Virgin is the heir of Yuanjun. How can a mythical person be mute and blind... Sister, please stop joking."
She shook her head as she spoke, with an expression like "Sister, don't do this to me for fun."
But Fang raised his sleeves and said a soft word, which stopped her like a holding spell.
"I have seen this young master and the second female monarch in fluttering white clothes together. The second female monarch called her...little junior sister, as we all know, the more virgins in this generation of female monarchs are the youngest."
Fang Shengnan was stunned: "When has sister seen them?"
Fang raised his sleeves and narrowed his eyes: "When I went to see that senior with my father... the second female gentleman and the blind and mute young master happened to be there at that time. We met each other. At that time, I just thought that they were definitely not ordinary people, but I never expected that
They are the legendary Yunmeng Yue girls. Aren't you envious that Ernujun talked to me alone? In fact, I think it was Ernujun who recognized me."
"That's it!" Fang Shengnan was stunned.
Fang Juxiu calmly analyzed:
"After experiencing the collapse of the Xingzifang Buddha before, I didn't expect Yue Chuzi to still be in Xunyang City, but it's not surprising that the senior is okay... After the senior's letter was given to Yunmeng Jianze, Jianze...
Immediately ask us to come back and look for traces of Yue virgin... Of course, they probably don't know that I recognized Yue virgin... But this also shows that the senior's letter may have mentioned Yue virgin, and I don't know if it is because of this.
, Yunmeng Jianze was sure that Yue Chuzi was in the city, so he commissioned us to find her..."
She frowned and murmured:
"But Yunmeng Jianze definitely not only entrusted us, but also arranged for other powerful people to find him. We are more like an extra.
"The key is what the senior said in the letter, and whether the senior knows the general whereabouts of Yue Virgin...
"So I was thinking, should we go find this senior first, return Yun Meng Ling, and then ask Yue virgin about it, it would be better than being like a headless fly like now."
"Okay! Just listen to my sister."
Fang Shengnan was excited and high-spirited, hugging the sword tightly in his arms:
"This is such a virgin. If we find it and bring it back, wouldn't it be a great achievement? It would be considered a great achievement!"
Raise your sleeves and open your mouth in different directions.
"Gulu gulu..."
A sound from the stomach resounded throughout the alley and inside.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Fang Shengnan's face turned red.
Fang raised his sleeves, smiled, and waved his hands.
"Forget it, let's go."
"Where are we going?"
"You spent all your money on going to Yunshui Pavilion. Even if the information there is useless, we still have to have a meal."
"Okay, okay, let's drink some health-preserving tea by the way. I heard those young heroes quietly mentioned that I don't know what the tea tastes like. It makes these guys never forget it. It must be some kind of Jianghu specialty..."
Fang Shengnan muttered in confusion, followed Fang Juxiu out of the alley...
A quarter of an hour later, the entrance of Yunshui Pavilion was extremely lively.
Two figures of "Gongzi Ge", one green and one pink and white, blended in.
