Ayesha wanted to go to the city with Zhou Xingyun, but unfortunately, Xiao Nizi was going to see Uncle later, so she couldn't go out with Zhou Xingyun.
A few days ago, warriors from outside the Great Wall and people from the martial arts alliance escorted Han Feng back to the capital. He is currently living in a house in the southwest of the aristocratic district. Yesterday, Ayesha and others went shopping and happened to run into several acquaintances from the tribe...
If Abo knew that when she arrived in the capital, she would not go to join the tribe members, but would definitely come to fix her.
So, Zhou Xingyun took Mo Nianxi and Rao Yue to visit the city to see if the bustling scene of the capital would become more interesting after half a year.
Zhou Xingyun's first stop was supposed to be Yunxia Inn, but when he entered the downtown area, the control of the trip fell into the hands of the puppy leader.
Mo Nianxi saw that Rao Yue was enjoying walking alone holding Zhou Xingyun's arm, so she abandoned the puppy leader in her arms and hugged Zhou Xingyun's arm.
Unexpectedly, the little dog turned into a fairy. It had four short legs and could run faster than humans. As a result, Zhou Xingyun and others were led by the stupid dog and chased them all the way to Juxian Building.
Seeing the Juxian Building that was packed with people and business was booming as always, Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but think of Sister Xuannv. I wonder if Isabel and Qili'an have arrived in the capital?
Logically speaking, Isabel and Qili'an should have returned to the capital earlier than him. After all, Zhou Xingyun had been delayed at Jianshu Villa for a long time...
Zhou Xingyunting admired Isabel's business skills, she was able to run the Juxian Building in full swing, which was no worse than the Juxian Building when Jin Run'er was the shopkeeper.
You must know that all the stunning maids from Yipin Academy moved to Jianshu Villa with Han Qiumiao. The current Juxian Building does not have the help of beautiful maids nor the support of strong official background, but it can still be used by Isabel.
Its banner is so popular that it stands on top of many restaurants in the capital. You can imagine how powerful Sister Xuannu is.
Of course, the recipes provided by Zhou Xingyun and the Western Region ingredients monopolized by Xuanbing Palace are also the cornerstones of Juxian Restaurant's fame in Kyoto.
The puppy leader has a keen sense of smell, and when he smelled the aroma of the meat in Juxianlou, he jumped towards it consciously.
"Dear, look to the left..." Rao Yue poked Zhou Xingyun's face with her index finger, signaling Zhou Xingyun to look to the left.
You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, but when you saw the croaking sound, the road between enemies is narrow and you will never deceive me, Zhou Xingyun poked Sister Rao Yue in the face and turned around. He immediately saw Prince Pingnan showing off his power at his house yesterday.
Until this moment, Zhou Xingyun finally understood why the people from Prince Pingnan's mansion had not gone to his mansion to find trouble.
It turns out that the Crown Prince of Pingnan Palace has an appointment to accompany a stunning beauty to Juxian Building for dinner. Moreover, this beauty is no stranger to Zhou Xingyun.
The eldest lady of the Xuanyuan family.
The day after Xuanyuan Fengxue returned to the capital, she returned to her old business and turned back into the eldest sister in the capital she was when Zhou Xingyun first met her. Xuanyuan Fengxue wore the plush coat left by her mother on her shoulders and looked cold.
Holding his hands, he led a group of officials' children and strode towards the main entrance of Juxian Building.
When pedestrians met Xuanyuan Fengxue on the road, they were all shocked by her noble and cold temperament, and they consciously gave way to detours. After all, it is impossible for people who have lived in the capital for a long time not to know this eldest lady of the Ministry of War.
Xuanyuan Fengxue is like the top of a pyramid, leading dozens of officials' children, swaggering through the market with great brilliance.
King Pingnan
Zi Ze was located on the left side of Xuanyuan Fengxue, talking to Xuanyuan Fengxue at one point or another. Fengxue girl nodded from time to time, indicating that she was listening to Prince Pingnan's words...
Xuanyuan Chongwu was on the right side of his sister, with his hands in his trouser pockets and walking with her as if he was not awake.
It has to be said that Xuanyuan Fengxue is very like a big sister. The children of officials in the capital are willing to take her as their leader. Prince Pingnan will definitely be attracted by her innate cold temperament when he first comes into contact with Fengxue.
He was deceived into thinking that the eldest daughter of the Xuanyuan family was a powerful female figure.
After all, Xuanyuan Fengxue usually doesn't show his expression, and his biggest reaction when meeting acquaintances is just a smile. When everyone laughs about something, Fengxue girl can remain calm and indifferent, and her speech is short and humorless, with a slight tone of voice.
severe.
Not to mention Prince Pingnan, even Zhou Xingyun was almost deceived by Feng Xue's cold attitude and thought she was a very commanding leader.
In fact, Zhou Xingyun and Feng Xue girl have been together for such a long time, and they have basically figured out the reason why the "cold" young lady is so "cold".
First of all, Xuanyuan Fengxue usually shows no expression, and her biggest reaction when meeting an acquaintance is just a smile. This is because the eldest lady's memory is not very good, and she will recognize an 'acquaintance' as a stranger when she meets an 'acquaintance' whom she has met several times.
The stranger suddenly greeted him enthusiastically. Xuanyuan Fengxue didn't quite remember the other person, so he simply nodded in response. He even said something silently in his heart... It seemed like he had seen this person before somewhere.
Secondly, the Fengxue girl's brain circuit and reflex arc are relatively slow. When everyone is joking and happy, the eldest lady needs to slowly think about what is so funny about the joke. By the time she understands the funny point, everyone has already finished laughing. Xuanyuan
Naturally, Feng Xue would not giggle on her own, so... she remained aloof and unsmiling.
Finally, Xuanyuan Fengxue doesn't like to talk, and every speech is brief and serious. This is due to the eldest lady's limited understanding, and she often cannot understand what everyone is talking about, so that she can't interrupt at all.
For example, when Zhou Xingyun, Xu Zhiqian and others were discussing things, Xuanyuan Fengxue often needed Xuanyuan Chongwu to explain to her, and then she figured out what was going on.
The key to Feng Xue's short and concise speech is that after listening to Xuanyuan Chongwu's explanation, she summarized Xuanyuan Chongwu's words, highlighted the key points, and then repeated them without changing the words, so that everyone felt that she
Very good, always able to hit the point right to the point.
Xuanyuan Fengxue prospered in the capital and became the leader of the officials' disciples. Xuanyuan Chongwu really contributed a lot.
If Xuanyuan Chongwu hadn't secretly helped his sister, Zhou Xingyun really couldn't imagine what kind of jokes the silly and adorable Feng Xue girl would have made.
All in all, what is the essence of Fengxue Girl? All smart people understand it.
Xuanyuan Fengxue walked at the forefront, leading many officials' children, including Prince Pingnan, into the Juxian Building.
When they entered the gate, Zhou Xingyun pricked up his ears and even heard Prince Pingnan mention Sister Xuannv.
"Miss Xuanyuan, the shopkeeper of Juxian Restaurant is a foreign woman from the far west country, so the delicacies of Juxian Restaurant are all kinds of varieties, all of which are rare in the Central Plains! Xiaosheng had the honor to work with the shopkeeper of Juxian Restaurant half a year ago.
When we met, she even visited Zhennan Palace in person and presented us with a bag of fragrant tea called coffee beans. The stuff was mixed with milk and stone honey, and it tasted very delicious. If Miss Xuanyuan has time, she might as well come to Zhennan Palace as a guest.
, try the coffee.”
"I have. Qili'an and Isabel are my friends." Xuanyuan Fengxue replied concisely. Prince Pingnan muttered so many words in her ear that she finally understood one sentence.
"Oh..." Prince Pingnan nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that besides Isabel, the shopkeeper of Juxianlou also had Qili'an.
Han Dongchen was very puzzled. Since this spring, he had the honor to meet Isabel once, and then went to Juxian Building to inquire about the beauty. Isabel had already left the capital. She was a foreigner who could rival the alluring beauty of Fengyu Mansion.
Beauty……
Zhou Xingyun watched Xuanyuan Fengxue and the others enter Juxian Building while walking and chatting, and couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly. Unexpectedly, it was the beginning of the year, and as soon as they left the capital, the people from Pingnan Palace returned to the capital.
After all, not long after Zhou Xingyun and Han Qiumiao returned to Jianshu Villa, Isabel went to Fujing City to look for him, and she happened to bump into the little girl Zhou Jian in "Linfeng Inn" and called him "Dad".
Presumably the Zhennan Palace where Prince Pingnan currently lives is the mansion that the emperor rewarded them after they defeated the northern princes.
As for why Prince Pingnan stayed in the capital instead of returning to the southern towns, this was a sign of the southern forces showing goodwill to the new emperor.
The Zhennan Palace keeps its direct relatives in the capital, which is tantamount to using them as hostages for the royal family, showing the loyalty of the southern forces.
Prince Pingnan stayed in the capital, and if there were any changes to the soldiers in the south, the royal family would take care of it.
"What kind of wind is blowing today that can actually bring my chief to Juxian Tower?"
Just when Zhou Xingyun was thinking about something, Xuanyuan Chongwu walked up to him with a look of deathly eyes.
Xuanyuan Fengxue led many officials' children to enter from the left side of the street, and walked into the Juxian Building in a swagger. Xuanyuan Chongwu had better eyesight. When he turned into the gate of the Juxian Building, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Xingyun and others on the right side of the street.
.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Chongwu used the latrine as an excuse to escape and come back to find Zhou Xingyun.
"Why did your sister get involved with Prince Pingnan?" Zhou Xingyun didn't waste any time and asked directly why Prince Pingnan was hanging around Xuanyuan Fengxue.
"From the tone of the chief, could it be that the people from the Pingnan Palace have already started to fight?" Xuanyuan Chongwu sneaked to find Zhou Xingyun for three main reasons.
First, Xuanyuan Chongwu grew up in the capital. Unlike Zhou Xingyun, a middle-aged official who became a monk, he had no idea about the power of the Nanwang Palace, or even the existence of the Nanwang Palace.
Before Xuanyuan Chongwu returned to the capital, he had anticipated the direction of the situation in the DPRK. The faction of the Sixteenth Emperor's Son would be overthrown, the northern princes would be executed, and the southern power would inevitably rise rapidly.
When Zhou Xingyun and Han Qiumiao returned to Beijing this time, they were afraid that they would have to show off their skills with the people from Nanwangfu.
Secondly, when Xuanyuan Chongwu glanced at Zhou Xingyun, Zhou Xingyun happened to be staring at the Prince of Nanwangfu. His uneasy and kind-hearted eyes clearly showed his opinion on Prince Pingnan.
Thirdly, when the chief arrives, who can challenge him? The bastard's aura is so powerful that he can be ignored in all directions. How can Xuanyuan Chongwu ignore him?
"Prince Pingnan saw Xun Xuan yesterday and came to stir up trouble. When he saw me living in Fengyu Mansion, he really thought I was a little Fengyu. Next thing you know..." Zhou Xingyun explained in a few words.
Xuanyuan Chongwu was a smart man. Prince Pingnan didn't know Zhou Xingyun's identity. Even if he didn't elaborate on the situation after that, Xuanyuan Chongwu could guess it.
