The Injustice of the Red Chamber

There is no hero to save the beauty, and there is no hijacking plot of Mrs. Yazhai.Oh, and there is no such thing as wandering in the desert.

Xichun stood on the carriage, staring at an indescribably brutal killing with the best view.

When she was dumbfounded and turned pale with fright, Xichun thought of those ghost stories Fei Ge made up in her mind.

She wanted to refute Fei Ge loudly, the screams and the like in the story were all nonsense.When people are frightened to the extreme, they cannot cry out.

On this trip, Xichun only brought two maids and two guards, but these four were all masters, and they protected Xichun tightly.In Tanchun's caravan, apart from the bodyguards from the bodyguard bureau, there were also the bodyguards she brought along and the young and strong guys from the firm.

Those bodyguards in Tanchun belonged to the same batch as Xichun's people, and the bodyguard agency was also under the name of Jiuxingqi. Back then, Jiuxingqi was broken into pieces, but there were many people everywhere.Tanchun and Xichun are naturally the best in the top class.

So even though the group of horse thieves and rogues came suddenly, people who had been at ease for a long time were caught off guard, but the fighting instinct developed in their bones still did not allow these horse rogues to take much advantage.

Seeing the bloody and ruthless guards who are usually dull and honest, Xichun was a little terrified. When the horse thief closest to her was split in half from the back in front of her, and then his body moved to the left and right. When she fell down, Xichun's eyes widened and she forgot how to breathe.

When I was trembling all over, I was still thinking about why she didn't faint.

The stories Fei Ge told and the books she bought said that she would roll her eyes and faint when she was extremely frightened, so why hasn't she fainted yet?

She was wrong, horse thieves are not scary, what is scary are these, these guards.

woo woo woo...

A small battle of total annihilation that was not too fierce started with the speed of the horse thieves, and ended at the speed that the horse thieves liked.

On Tanchun's side, two men died who went to fetch water and unfortunately encountered the horse thief who was hiding in advance. For the others, one or two bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau were slightly injured, and there was almost no loss of goods.

Oh, not only did he not lose, Tanchun also got a dozen good horses.

Now, those guys who follow the carriage and press the cart on foot can take turns to ride on horseback.

Tanchun was quite frightened, but she was better than Xichun.This guy was very courageous, and he had been outside for a few years, so he was well-informed, so he quickly organized the team, and in order not to let the horse thief die in the wilderness or attract any unnecessary things, he directly Some people collected some firewood and cremated the corpses of the horse thieves on the spot.

I searched my body before doing it... I got 6000 taels of silver, 27 taels of gold, and 60 taels of silver...

The two shop boys were also cremated, but they were cremated separately, and they were put into two white porcelain jars that had been used to hold food, ready to be taken on the road, and then handed over to their families.

Tanchun knew that Xichun was not injured, so he arranged these things with confidence.After all these things were done and everyone set off again, Tanchun returned to the carriage to see Xichun who should have been quite frightened.

She was still a little girl in her teens and not in her twenties, and it was the first time she had encountered such a thing when she was traveling far away. Even if Xichun was carried into the carriage by the girl and leaned against the girl's arms, she was still terrified.

I didn't dare to cry, I didn't dare to scream, and I didn't dare to close my eyes trembling slightly.It was already a small one, but it looked like a frightened cat, pitiful and cute.

Xichun was the youngest, and she didn't remember anything when she entered the Rongguo Mansion. Fei Ge paid more attention and love to her than to her own cubs.Pain, pet and protect her.

The sisters are also respectful, and feel sorry for her when she lost her mother at a young age, and her father doesn't care.Even Baoyu, who is favored, can't show his phoenix eggs in front of Xichun.

When he ran away from home, he took his maid and private house with him, and even took away all kinds of painting utensils such as calligraphy and painting of celebrities he liked.Although the house Fei Ge helped buy in the early years was a bit small, but she was the only master living there, no matter how small it was, it was bigger than the Rongguo Mansion.

Later, to welcome the spring, Daiyu and Tanchun, who started a business, were all worried about her. One day they would send rice and vegetables, tomorrow they would send jewelry and clothing materials, and the day after that they would give pocket money. The most respected girl in blood, Xichun's life is unmatched by gods.

The Lin family's hot spring Zhuangzi stayed for a month, and they always offered her as if they were their own masters.After Tanchun found out, he even spent a lot of money to buy three Zhuangzi connected with hot springs not far away, and the three sisters each lived in one place.

Although it cost a lot of money, Tanchun family can make money by themselves, and they especially like to buy, buy, buy, and give away.Spending money is Tanchun's second favorite hobby besides making money.

Tanchun is not stingy at all, especially when spending money for his sisters.

From childhood to adulthood, Xichun has never encountered such a bloody scene even though she knows that the world is not peaceful.Fei Ge and her older sisters have unanimously created an illusion of a beautiful world for her, but now it has been completely broken.

In fact, not to mention Xichun, any girl would be terrified to death when she watched the gangster-looking horse thief being split in half in front of her.

The shivering Xichun shrank back into the girl's arms when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and buried her whole face in the girl's chest, terrified.

When Tanchun got into the carriage, he asked Xichun how he was doing in a panicked voice that could only be heard with careful listening. After asking two or three times, Xichun timidly turned to look at Tanchun.Then when Tanchun opened his mouth to say something, he threw himself into Tanchun's arms and cried out with a 'wow'.

Woohoo, scared the baby to death.

Tanchun: ...Your sister and I are actually more afraid.

But being an older sister at this time is absolutely necessary to be strong, even if she wants to cry with her younger sister, but after throwing away the pension and the silver reward that was awarded to everyone just now, there is still a lot of silver and horses left. I really couldn't cry, so I hugged Xichun, patted Xichun's back lightly, and told her not to be afraid.

If there is no dead buddy, this kind of robbery can actually be repeated several times.

(→_→)

During the day, Xichun was frightened a lot, but Xichun developed a high fever that night.The fever persisted for three to five days, and Tanchun felt anxious and regretful.

The northwest is remote, and the doctor here doesn't seem too reliable.Why did she take her sister out and forget to bring a doctor?

Under this kind of worry, Xichun's fever finally subsided on the sixth day.

But even though the fever has subsided, Xichun's body has not yet recovered.And the whole person actually lost a lot of weight in these six days.

The original milk fat baby fat is gone, the beautiful oval face is showing shape, and the eyes look bigger than before.

The big mist-like eyes looked at her like Yingying, even Tan sometimes felt that this girl was too good looking.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the girl from Jia's family, but Xichun's charming and carefree attitude in the past made people ignore her appearance, and this time her extraordinary transformation suddenly appeared.

Originally, Tanchun wanted to keep Xichun here to raise her health, but the folk customs in the northwest are too tough, and no matter how strong a dragon is, it may not be able to overwhelm the local snake. She left such a beautiful sister here and waited for her to come back. She was worried that her sister would be killed. People miss it.So after confirming that Xichun could travel with her, she took Xichun and left again.

During this journey, Xichun seems to be fine during the day, and she can also talk and play with Tanchun.But every night, I would be awakened by nightmares, and I would wake up crying in fright.

In the dream, she couldn't escape every time she wanted to run.She was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she could only cry but couldn't even cry out.Extremely helpless.

Every time I get anxious to a certain extent, I will suddenly wake up from the dream. After waking up, no matter what time it is, I can't fall asleep again.

What happened that day really frightened Xichun. Although Tanchun found out belatedly, there was nothing else to do except Anshen Soup and Anshenxiang.

But Anshen Decoction and Anshenxiang both contain ingredients to help sleep, and Xichun felt that it was because of these things that she couldn't wake up from the dream, so she seldom used them.

The result of the vicious cycle is that Xichun can only sleep for a while when there are too many people making noise during the day, and then the sleep schedule is reversed, and Xichun loses weight again.

It turned out that the hands were fleshy, and the white and tender claws with small fleshy pits in the clenched fists turned into skinny chicken feet in a blink of an eye. Tanchun blamed himself and felt distressed at the same time.

She shouldn't have come to Northwest this year, and even if she did, she shouldn't have brought her sister with her.

Tanchun felt that if she took Xichun to Jiangnan to sell goods, there would be no such bad things along the way.

The Jia family worships Buddha and Guanyin, but the beliefs in the northwest are different from those in the Jia family and the capital.Originally, I wanted to go to the temple to ask Xichun for an amulet, but the more I walked northwest, the more I realized that there was no temple they used to worship at home.

Tanchun came to the northwest on this trip to buy some medicinal materials and furs from the northwest. She had contacted the merchants here when she was in the capital.Doing business should pay attention to integrity. If it hadn't been agreed long ago, Tanchun might buy some similar goods on the way and turn back.

At this time, I had to travel all the way to the hinterland of the northwest, and Tanchun's mood was also very unpleasant.

But what Tanchun didn't expect was that the closer to the hinterland of the Northwest and the more desolate the road, the better Xichun's situation would be.

Looking at the endless Gobi Desert, Xichun didn't feel afraid and didn't say anything, but also had an indescribable sense of security.

Is it because at a glance, there is no place to hide except for them?

Tanchun looked at Xichun who lifted the gauze curtain on the veiled hat, and looked at Xichun who was smiling sweetly in front of him and couldn't help but think so.

There is still wind in the desert, so the so-called lonely smoke in the desert, the sisters did not see it.But looking at the moon in the desert, although it is a bit desolate, has a special feeling in my heart.

If it wasn't for the wrong environment, Xichun would have painted this place.But even though he couldn't draw on the drawing paper right now, Xichun still used the sketch taught by his half-hearted teacher, Fei Ge, to draw this scene on the window paper with a charcoal pen.

That's right, window paper.

Because the window paper is thick enough and hard enough, it is the most suitable drawing paper for sketching in this era.

……

Xichun didn't expect that she would like this place so much.

However, seeing the thinned flesh growing back, and the crackling sound of the bonfire blowing at night, she can sleep soundly. Tanchun has to admit that her sister really likes this place, and is very used to the roughness here. .

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Tanchun couldn't bear to look straight at Xichun, sitting beside the fire with a leg of lamb in both hands, eating comfortably, and at the same time asked the waiter to spread jam for her.

The leg of lamb with jam was baked again. After the top was slightly charred and dry, Xichun held the leg of lamb and gnawed it around without the help of others, and then spread the jam and baked it again. Until there is no more meat on the table.

This is too bad.

However, thinking that Xichun still had a baby-fat face before, Tanchun couldn't say anything to persuade her to pay attention to her image.

Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so eat as you like.

After entering the Northwest, Tanchun hired a few more camels.The two sisters sat on a camel during the day, and slept in a tent at night. There was no end to the yellow sand, and there was always a feeling of no end.

Camels are actually very docile, but people who have never ridden a camel do not know that the up and down postures of riding a camel are more terrifying than riding a horse.

Before riding a camel, the camels kneel there waiting for someone to climb on their back.

When you sit firmly, the camel will slowly stand up under the instructions of the trainer.

Pay attention, this standing up is the most screaming place.

Because when a camel stands up, it's a normal camel, yes, a normal camel.They all stand up with their front legs first, and then kick their back legs to stand up.

That is to say, when Xichun sat on the camel's back, when his hands were still tangled and hesitant to grab the camel's hump, the camel stood up on its front legs, and Xichun leaned back.When Huarong turned pale with fright, the camel's two hind legs kicked, and when the whole camel stood up, Xichun's body rushed forward again.

The pair of little hands that were struggling to grab the hump earlier were holding on to the hump tightly and refused to let go.

When the camel was waiting for the camel to get off, the camel actually knelt on its back feet first. Xichun screamed and leaned forward. When she almost flew out, the front legs of the camel knelt down at this moment, which not only prevented Xichun from leaning forward , and let Xichun lean back...

People who have never ridden a camel really don't know that there is such an operation.I was so scared that I opened my mouth and screamed and ate a mouthful of sand.

Then the next day, Xichun decided to change to another camel to ride. Unexpectedly, this camel belonged to the second shift, and it was the opposite of the way the camel rose and fell yesterday...

After riding the camel for three days, the girl decided to follow the advice of the trainer, and made a frame to support the camel, and put a chair on each side. People sat on the chairs, and the camels were all supported by people. down the ladder.

However, after sitting on both sides of the camel like a cargo, Xichun decided to be a camel again.

Although every time she returned to the tent after riding a camel, Xichun would count in her heart how many humps she had eaten since she was a child.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

There is no Longmen Inn in the desert, but there is no oasis lacking in supplies.

On the ninth day after entering the desert, Tanchun's caravan finally found the desert town where they were located according to the road signs given by the Northwest businessman they had contacted earlier.

In the yellow sand all over the sky, there is a yellow earth city with a strong atmosphere.

The city wall stood there, without a majestic aura, but with a kind of outrageous and unyielding persistence.

A group of people entered the city, and only then did they realize how powerful the northwestern businessman Tanchun said was in this city or in the northwest.

However, neither Tanchun nor Xichun are afraid of this local influence, so why do they lead a lot of people with their sisters?

In other words, these two girls are still fearless.

Know who we are?

Do you know who my brother is?

Do you know who my sister is?

snort!

After being warmly invited into the mansion, Tanchun simply washed up and went to socialize.Xichun, on the other hand, took a vigorous bath, and then stayed in the room to hydrate her face.

After coming to Northwest, Xichun felt that the air was very dry, so dry that she felt that her skin was dehydrated.

Very thirsty.

If it goes on, maybe the whole face will look like that sweet potato skin.

Compared with Xichun's idleness, Tanchun had a different experience.

Along the way, Tanchun often inquired about the prices of local southern goods.He also knows how much the goods she brought to the Northwest can sell for.I have been pressing the goods to come here, and Tanchun just wants to sell these goods here.

Of course, it would be even better if this batch of goods can be used rationally and then sold back to the rare medicinal materials and furs in the south.

Some people are actually drunkards who don't care about drinking, just like inviting Tanchun to come over to sell goods, the master of the Huo family.

This man met Tanchun once when he went to the capital in his early years.

At that time, I fell in love with this tall and delicate daughter of the Central Plains.

She has the delicacy of a daughter of the Central Plains, and also has a valiant and heroic posture that is rarely seen on a woman.In fact, in the Northwest, there are quite a few women with such personalities, but none of them compares to Tanchun in terms of appearance and demeanor.

Besides, Tanchun is shrewd and capable, and can do a good job in business, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women.After inquiring about Tanchun's background, Master Huo felt that this was the woman he was looking for.

However, he knew that even if he wanted to marry someone, they might not be willing to marry him.Especially when she discovered that Tanchun is not only shrewd and likes to do business, but also ambitious to build a business empire of her own.

Such a woman is hotter than a rose, and more people can't take their eyes off her, she is willing to surrender...

Master Huo is also considered young and promising, although the fact that he entered his thirties at the age of two or three makes people feel that he is already an old man.

But I have to say, this person's appearance, even with Fei Ge's picky eyes raised by Monk Xu, this person is also a handsome man.

Master Huo is tall, men in Northwest China are generally taller, but Master Huo is taller than men in Northwest China.In front of this Master Huo, Jia Lian can set him off as a chick...

As for Tanchun, standing next to Master Huo, there is a sense of instant sight like a little bird clinging to others.

It's just that people are taller and bigger, and birds are smaller.

Master Huo, who has some ethnic minority blood, has particularly good-looking eyes. When looking at Tanchun with deep eyes, there is a bit of affection.

Of course, looking at other people seems to have some affectionate meaning.

The visual sense of slag blue.

As I said before, in the northwest, the folk customs are mostly tough.Such things as snatching relatives have long been common.

However, Master Huo knew that even if he got people to the northwest in the name of doing business, it would be impossible for a woman like Tanchun to succumb.

But in the northwest, which is his territory, it might be a shortcut for Tanchun to discover his goodness.

So the welcome banquet was very grand, not to mention, Master Huo put down his body and personally accompanied Sister Tanchun to wander around the northwest for a few days.

Look at the sunrise, look at the desert Red Sea covered by red vegetation, and then accompany you to hunt in a not-so-small forest deep in the desert to find the red-eyed red fox that is only found here.

In fact, the fur in the northwest is not as good as that outside the Northeast Pass, but there are several kinds of medicinal materials in the hinterland of the northwest desert that are available in the entire heaven and dynasty. Even the red-eyed red fox is only found in the small forest here.

This kind of red fox skin is extremely precious, and when it is transported to the capital, only one skin can make Tanchun happy.

Some of the southern goods brought by Tanchun were sold to the Northwest Huo family owner, and some were rented here and placed in the shop for short-term sales.

The price is naturally several percent higher than that sold to the Huo family.

After signing a long-term supply contract with Master Huo, Tanchun was going to take his little sister who was a bit reluctant to play with him back home.

Tanchun was busy with Tanchun, Xichun took the girl guard and one of the Huo family's long entourage to play by himself.The temperature difference between day and night in the northwest is huge, and the clothes are also different from those in the Central Plains. Xichun changed her Central Plains riding outfit in a few days and she looked like a little girl in the Northwest.

The girls in the northwest are more cheerful than the girls in the Central Plains, and they are less bound by rules. They look lively and free-spirited.

Xichun's rules were taught by Fei Ge, so when she meets a girl from the Northwest at this time, one can imagine that she hit it off.

Today I invited a girl from this family to ride a horse, and tomorrow I invited a girl from that family to gather herbs.When I came back to go to the market, I also took my new friends to buy things that she didn't even see in the capital.

When I first came here, I still remembered Xichun who was doing skin care. I was so tired every day, if it wasn't for the girls who took care of me, I wouldn't even remember washing my face before going to bed.

Fortunately, Xichun has a good foundation, and it is the kind of skin that will not turn dark no matter how much sun is exposed, otherwise when Tanchun came over to see her sister, she would definitely think she saw a small coal ball.

You have to poke it with a stick, the hard one is coal, and the soft one is her sister.

(→_→)

When leaving, Master Huo mentioned a few words cryptically.Tanchun is not a fool, so Master Huo has been busy with his company these days, and the price of the goods is still so much profit, how could he not see what he means.

It's a pity, our Miss Tanchun never thought about giving her who is the master of the house, husband and son.Be the mistress who can only live in the inner house, take care of the trivial matters at home, and compete with a group of women for favor.

It's not that she doesn't want to marry, but after she gets married, if she takes care of outsiders and men take care of insiders, and the man she marries can abide by the rules of a woman's three obediences and four virtues, she can also consider it.

Although it is a bit too shameful to say this, it has to be said that Tanchun is not the kind of person who hesitates, quits and is not decisive.

So she said it, seriously, seriously, and seriously.

Then Master Huo's first heartbeat was completely aborted.

It seems that he can't meet Tanchun's request for choosing a spouse...

But what Master Huo didn't expect was that his side was defeated, and his stepmother's half-brother had a crush on Xichun.

Mr. Huo went early, and his original spouse went even earlier.

The original partner died during the birth of Master Huo, and then Master Huo's grandfather married his youngest daughter in order not to break the relationship with the Huo family.

The fact that the stepmother is his aunt, before Master Huo came, he was so anxious to feel something, the aunt and stepmother Mrs. Huo also followed in her sister's footsteps, and also died in dystocia.

She left behind a younger brother who was three years younger than the master of the Huo family, and a natal family who dared not marry her daughter to the Huo family again.

Later, when Master Huo was less than fifteen years old, Mr. Huo also went.So the head of the family lived with his younger brother and loyal servants of the Huo family.

Compared with Master Huo, who is in business, his younger brother likes to read more, and he reads this book very well.

Then read it.

Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have colluded, oh no, it is the officials and businessmen who help each other and get what they need.It is also a good thing to have an official in the family.

The younger brother of the Huo family studied for the imperial examination and finally passed the Juren examination. This has to be said to be the pride of the Huo family.

However, this proud little brother Huo was unlucky enough to get into trouble.

He was implicated by a cheating in the imperial examination, even though it had nothing to do with him.It's a pity that the local juren were all shamed.

So Brother Huo, who had gone to the capital to prepare for the spring exam, had to go back to the northwest after hearing the news.

And then I ran into his neighbor in the capital...
