As the new year approaches, the capital becomes more and more lively.
Shen Wanyue had not been out shopping for a long time since she had been in Beijing. She heard that the New Year's Market in the capital was very lively, so she took Mu Yun'an out to go shopping.
Mu Yun'an, apart from paying greetings to the old lady these days, was a little bored staying in his room reading and writing, so he asked the old lady to leave the house with Shen Wanyue.
The carriage was escorted by guards all the way to the busiest street market.
Shen Wanyue sat in the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd outside with excitement and said, "This is the capital after all. It is not as lively as Tongzhou. Even during the New Year, there are only a few people."
Although Tongzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the most remote of the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Because there are many mountains and rivers, there are many bandits in Tongzhou County, the population is sparse, and the products are not rich.
It's not as safe and lively as the capital city at the feet of the emperor.
Mu Yun'an had never left the capital in her previous life and was not very familiar with places outside the capital, but it was different now, because the "Guangbo Geography" given to her by Xiao Chengyi gave her a familiarity with the customs and customs of various places in Beichen. understood.
Tongzhou is indeed the most remote place in the south of the Yangtze River, but it also has the best scenery. When His Majesty went to the south of the Yangtze River, he even went to Tongzhou to visit the mountains and rivers there.
"My cousin envies the prosperity of the capital city, but I yearn for the beautiful mountains and rivers of Tongzhou."
Mu Yun'an was trapped in a cage in his last life and had little knowledge. Now that he has been reborn, he has read a lot of books, but people say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
If given the chance, she would like to go out and see the outside world.
When Shen Wanyue heard her words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "You just don't know how to be blessed despite being blessed."
Mu Yunan curled his lips and refused to argue with her. Soon they arrived at the most prosperous New Year Market. The two of them walked around and bought a lot of things, all of which were handed over to the accompanying guards.
But there were too many things, so Shen Wanyue asked the guards to take the things to the carriage first, and then she took Mu Yun'an to a nearby clothing store to look at clothes.
Shen Wanyue and Mu Yun'an each picked a few items to try on. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they were attacked by someone. They were slashed on the back of the head and both fell to the ground.
...
Inside Tingfeng Courtyard.
Xiao Chengyi was reading in the room when he saw Anping hurriedly walked in, holding a brocade box in his hand and passing it over: "Master, this is from the butler. He said that a beggar gave it to you."
When he mentioned the beggar, Xiao Chengyi's face darkened. He put down the book in his hand and hurriedly took the brocade box and opened it. The first thing that caught his eye was a purple jade bracelet.
It was something Mu Yun'an always wore, and it was a relic left to her by her mother. There was also a letter underneath the jade bracelet.
Xiao Chengyi opened the letter. After reading the contents, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and asked, "Yan Yan is not here?"
Anping replied: "I heard from the housekeeper that the county lord and his cousin went shopping today."
Xiao Chengyi panicked in his heart, and looked at the content on the letterhead with cold eyes. It was a threatening letter, which read: "Wei Shi, Qili Pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing, come alone with Shuhen Gao."
He clenched the hairpin in his hand fiercely, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. At this moment, the bell hanging on the jade pendant on his waist suddenly made a continuous sound.
And this was exactly the danger signal that Mu Yunan sent him.
Xiao Chengyi was so anxious that he turned around and hurried out. But suddenly he remembered something and went back to the medicine room before leaving the house.
He galloped all the way to Qili Pavilion, where he saw a carriage parked on the edge of the cliff, and there were two masked men in black in front of the carriage.
One of them holds a dagger in his hand and stands in front of the horse. As long as he cuts it down, the cart and horse will fall off the cliff.
