I am the leader of the capital

On the stairs of the velvet platform, Lin Jinghuang, the pearl of the empire in ordinary clothes, said to Luo Qing: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly."

Luo Qing, who was wearing men's clothes, smiled when he passed by Xue Chichi, and Xue Chichi, who was tightly covered, looked down at those eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

When they went up to the second floor, the three of them glanced down, and the people below were all looking up. Seeing Lin Jinghuang's slightly frowned eyebrows, everyone pretended to look away casually, but whispering was still inevitable.

Xue Chichi came from an extraordinary background, naturally many people know her, not only the guard who recognized her, but also someone recognized her by the veil on her face, the woman who can walk with Lin Jinghuang is also those people.

The capital is not a pedantic mountain village. The only possibility for a woman to cover her face is that she can't see people or is inconvenient to see people. It happened that Xue Chichi was beaten before lunch. It is said that she cried all the way back, causing many people to hide along the way. Watching from behind the window, Xue Chichi walks and cries all the way is as rare as a tiger eating vegetarian.

On the second floor, many people came up one after another. Zhang Mingyu of General Zhengnan’s family brought Yang Siyao, cousin of Shoufu’s family, up the stairs from the other side. Cousin, so there is a lot of contact, Yang Siyao and Zhang Mingyu have been fighting and making troubles over the years.

The folk customs in the capital are simple and cheerful, and there are not so many pedantic old stubborn pointing at the younger generation. Even the girls from the brothel will not receive too much pointing and abuse. Many times, the people will think that they are hard-fated people who can do what they can. give some help.

Because of this, many people would mention in jokes that women in brothels in the capital buy vegetables cheaper than women from good families; I will lower the price, or give away some onion and garlic.

If the older generation is not pedantic and mean, then the younger generation will grow up in a good environment. Although men and women are different, Yang Siyao and his cousin Zhang Mingyu often play together, and others will say that they have a good relationship rather than Think about unclean places.

Although most of the common people in the capital are tolerant, the only accident is that Xue Chichi, like Xue Chichi, is not good at female embroidery, and there are many women who do not understand poetry, calligraphy and painting. Yang Siyao is one of them. The person I despise is my father who is a civil servant.

The petite Yang Siyao most admires Champion Hou and his uncle, General Zhengnan. It is inconvenient for her to get in touch with Champion Hou, but her uncle can, so she grew up with her aunts when she was a child. This is how most cousins ​​see their cousins. In the end, the two parties were polite, but the two of them could fight if they disagreed.

As for why Xue has not been able to enjoy this kind of tolerance for so long, it is not that others deliberately discriminate against her, but that there is no other way but to discriminate against her.

It's not easy to scold, after all, Xue Chichi is a woman, not to mention that if you want to swear, you can easily bring it to the female family members. Who are Xue Chichi's female family members?Different surnames in the empire are not crowned kings, and the title of Marquis Xue has been passed down for thousands of years and has not been revoked. Who would dare to scold such a family?Therefore, the bullied who dare not beat or scold can only laugh at a few words to vent their anger.

Yang Siyao hugged his cousin's arm, "Be nicer to Sister Mingyue from now on. She is your fiancée, not an outsider. Can others live with you forever? A man who is not good to his wife is too selfish."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Zhang Mingyu has an extraordinary appearance. Most of the children of big families in the world are not ugly. The wives married to powerful families are all beautiful, and the children born to beautiful wives are not ugly. Generation after generation of this kind of blood mixed with beautiful girls will naturally become more beautiful from generation to generation.

Yang Siyao was not annoyed either, and said with a smile: "It's not that I teach you how to do things, but you should do it. A responsible man will definitely protect his own woman. How could you say that to Sister Mingyue in public yesterday? Even if you If you think what she said is wrong, you can also say it in private."

"Go away, don't talk to me like this, save it for your future husband, my future cousin-in-law just knows how to love women, and you don't care about your cousin and me." Zhang Mingyu photographed it hand on his own arm.

Yang Siyao was not annoyed, and made a grimace and said, "You don't love her, be careful that sister Mingyue will run away with someone one day, and I will put a big hat on you then."

"You..." Zhang Mingyu became angry again in an instant, and said coldly, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to break up with me? Why did you drag me here? Why are you so close?"

Yang Siyao let go of the hand holding Zhang Mingyu in an instant, but then grabbed the boy's hands and shook them lightly, he said with a smile: "We are cousins. I can't be so close anymore, let me accompany you more."

Zhang Mingyu saw the three figures on the opposite side, and instantly recognized Lin Jinghuang, and then took a closer look at the two people who had joined Lin Jinghuang for a hundred years, but he couldn't recognize who the two were, and he didn't take it seriously , turned around and said to Yang Siyao who was beside him: "Tch, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or robbery, you really think I don't know why you insist on coming with me?"

"What can there be?" Yang Siyao, who was wearing a little yellow dress, tilted her head. She was not tall, and Zhang Mingyu was tall, so she could only see his chin.

"I got a good sword last night, and it is suitable for women. You want this sword. In addition, I saw a pendant in today's auction. It belonged to a female general many years ago. The female general left I bought a pair, and you got one, so it is imperative to get the rest, but you are worried that you don't have enough money, so you insist on dragging me."

Zhang Mingyu glanced at Yang Siyao with contempt, found a hall and went in to rest. Several people in the small hall hurriedly got up and gave up their seats after seeing Yang Shoufu's only daughter and the only son of General Zhengnan's family. Zhang Mingyu had a good temper. After seeing the ceremony, I found a seat and sat down.

Yang Siyao took a stool and sat beside Zhang Mingyu, beat Zhang Mingyu's legs and back very dog-leggedly, and said coquettishly: "Okay, you don't have anything to buy, I will return it when I have money." you."

"How do you know that I don't have anything to buy? I have too much to buy." Zhang Mingyu reached for a booklet on the table, which printed today's auction items, except for the last treasure that was not announced. , and the others are all in this booklet, and I pointed them to Yang Siyao who was full of fawning faces one by one: "I like this, this, this, and this."

Yang Siyao watched Zhang Mingyu pointing out the things he wanted to buy one by one, and his face gradually turned dark. She probably knew how much money Zhang Mingyu had, and once he calculated the amount, he would lose the remaining money and lent it to himself. He took out a small silver pendant inlaid with rubies from his bosom and showed it to Zhang Mingyu in his palm, and flattered him again:

"Cousin, you can buy these pendants on weekdays. The pendant they auctioned today was salvaged from a sunken ship. There are only one pair of pendants in total. Except for the one in my hand, only the pendant is left. It will be auctioned later, and you can’t buy it anywhere else, I like this pendant very much, you know.”

"Why should I influence the rhythm of my own life for you?"

Several other people in the hall saw that the two were discussing what they were going to shoot later, and felt that it was not appropriate to stay here, so they went outside to chat.

Seeing Zhang Mingyu in the house, Yang Siyao didn't let go, kicked him hard, and said, "Stingy, it's bad luck for sister Mingyue to marry you."

Zhang Mingyu crossed his legs and looked at Yang Siyao pouted. The girl is small, her face is also small, her eyes are big, but her nose, mouth and ears are very small. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat twice. Yang Siyao approached with tears in his eyes: "If it weren't for the fear that the emperor would suspect that our civil and military families will join forces to make things bigger, you should be mine."

Yang Siyao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered his head, then raised his head sharply to glance at Zhang Mingyu's eyes, then lowered his head again, this time he did not raise his head again, and only made a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Don't you Talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard."

The boy in black stretched out his hand to pick up the chin of the girl in front of him, and said affectionately: "I am not afraid of hardship and downfall, are you afraid of living a hard life?"

After Yang Siyao said something like "I'm going to get a breather", Zhang Mingyu left the room in a panic. Looking at the small figure in yellow, Zhang Mingyu felt a little lost. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. Knowing that Yang Siyao and Qishi are not as stupid as they show, the whole family is hiding their clumsiness.

There is no such thing as power, but if there is too much, it will become a steel knife hanging on your head. The empire will change masters soon, and the first thing the new emperor will do is to promote his own people, so how many confidantes the previous emperor has? Get in the way less.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, if the emperor is changed, he will naturally have to change his ministers. The head of the Yang family is the chief assistant. No matter how much power he has in his hands, he will become the emperor, so he can only try to release some, and incompetence is the best excuse.

Yang Siyao returned to the room after a long time, Zhang Mingyu told her that her cousin was abrupt just now, don't take it to heart, the girl nodded and said nothing.

On the long corridor opposite, Lin Jinghuang stood for a long time, Luo Qing always had a faint smile on her mouth, she seemed to be absent-minded about everything, she is from the Daoist sect, and the strongest talent recognized by the Daoist sect was once rejected by her The Chongyang real person and the Qingxu temple master also promised to protect her.

"Are you thinking about your master?" Luo Qing suddenly approached Lin Jinghuang.

Lin Jinghuang raised her eyes, but didn't speak, and said after a long time: "Let's go in and see what he looks like, the old lady said it was good."

"Well, good." Luo Qing slightly lowered her eyes and asked a passing maid: "Where is Mr. Yun?"

As soon as the maid heard it, she knew that it was Mr. Yun from Xueyu Villa. After pointing to the next room, she bowed her body and waited until the three of Lin Jinghuang walked away before raising her head.

Xue Chichi watched the small teahouse pointed out by the maid getting closer, and stopped after a moment of confusion, "Go in, I don't want to see them."

Lin Jinghuang remained expressionless, nodded and followed Luo Qing into the room.
