[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

Compared with the Oiran's show, the streets are much deserted. The weather is almost January, and the Chinese New Year is coming. The streets are so desolate that there is not even a single leaf falling.

Su Xiaoxiao walked forward between the houses and the shadows of the houses, and when she was approaching the street in front of Kaifeng Mansion, she stopped and asked, "General, are you going to follow me back to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Pang Tong was stunned on the spot, and then realized that he followed Su Xiaoxiao out so far. He didn't intend to follow, but he didn't know why his feet still didn't stop.

Pang Tong's thick eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes, which were as bright as cold stars, were elusive. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said after a long time, "Go for a drink, it's too cold here."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't even think about it, and followed Pang Tong by accident. He said it was cold here, and she thought it was cold here too. He said go have a drink, and she also felt that she should go for a drink in her current mood. , so, what's the problem...

Zuiyuelou was unexpectedly deserted today, maybe it was because it was too late, maybe it was because Hua Kuixiu rushed the venue, walked through the hall and walked to the second floor, Su Xiaoxiao only saw three tables of guests eating.

Pang Tong sat down, ordered food skillfully, and asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of good tea first, and then he didn't move or speak.

Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to say, she was sitting opposite Pang Tong, staring at something on the window in a daze, when the tea came, she poured herself a cup of tea first, and when the wine came, she poured herself another cup. He drank a glass of wine, and then ate slowly, without Pang Tong giving way, nor did he ask Pang Tong to give way.

The two jugs of wine were poured by themselves, and Pang Tong carefully looked at the woman in front of him. If he was a little curious about her before, now he wants to conquer her more.

Pang Tong's half-life soldier's hostility is hard to contain, let alone a woman, even those soldiers who fought with him on the battlefield respect him and sit and drink together?Even if he was sitting and they were standing there, he could feel their alienation and tension, but the person in front of him was unexpectedly calm. To put it nicely, it meant that he had been approached, but to put it badly, he was simply ignored.

"I thought you should be happy." After an unknown amount of time, Pang Tong said lightly while looking at the wine glass.

She should be happy, but she couldn't be happy, Su Xiaoxiao continued silently, not knowing how to answer.

Pang Tong didn't wait for her to speak, but continued to ask, "Why are you unhappy? Could it be because you were bullied?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised his head and glanced at the person sitting across from him. Today, Pang Tong was wearing a dark blue robe with a soft belt inlaid with jade around his waist. He did not wear a weapon or soft armor. , but because of this, his whole person appeared more calm and introverted, which made people feel more daunting and oppressive.

"Why should I be happy? I'm not the one who became famous." Withholding her gaze, Su Xiaoxiao replied indifferently.

Pang Tong lightly raised the corners of his lips and a smile appeared on his face. He was just guessing. It seemed that she was really upset. "Blame her for stealing your limelight? You can do nothing."

It's actually not difficult to know some things. Guose Tianxiang Building is a place Pang Yu often goes to. His younger brother explained everything to him along the way, including Li Ge. He guessed that Li Ge should be her.

What kind of limelight is this? Su Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound. After a long time, she said, "What else can I do besides these? It's just troubles everywhere, and I can only do these things."

Pang Tong frowned, and Su Xiaoxiao's tone was filled with despair, which was not the tone and demeanor that a high-spirited person should have. He didn't want to see her like this, "Are you sad because you think you are useless? Or do you think you are wrong? "

Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just lowered his head to drink, Pang Tong looked at her with deep eyes, "When I first went to the battlefield, countless soldiers died to save me, because I am the son of the grand master, and because one of my sisters is the emperor's concubine. At that time, I felt that I was useless, because I couldn't do anything, so I could only watch others die for me."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her head in surprise, she wasn't sure if Pang Tong was talking to him, his gaze was no longer on her, his thoughts should no longer be here, so should she continue to listen?

"After fighting many battles, I gradually realized one thing," Pang Tong was unexpectedly calm, "There is no right or wrong in this world. If you want to make yourself feel better, then even if you are wrong, you must persist until One day, you will be freed if you stick to 'wrong' and become 'right'."

Insist that she understands, but what does it mean to insist on "wrong" as "right"?Su Xiaoxiao looked at Pang Tong in confusion, what happened to this man today?She should be the one who is depressed today, why does it sound like his voice is even more dull.

"There is no right or wrong in this world, so you don't need to be sad at all." In the end, Pang Tong summed up all the words in one sentence. He didn't know why he suddenly said these words, but he knew that these words should be useful to her.

"Oh," Su Xiaoxiao nodded foolishly, don't you need it?

There was nothing to say, and the two were drinking on their own, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, was this comforted?

Pang Tong felt that he had talked too much today, and his originally good mood was now a little depressed.

After the second watch, the Zuiyuelou man stood back and forth at the door of the private room for a long time. They were closed, but he didn't have the guts to come in and say this.

Nonsense, who is in it, General Pang Tongpang, it is said that he is a cold-blooded, ruthless and unpredictable person who has killed countless people. Unless he feels that he has lived enough, how dare he offend such a person.

In the end, Pang Tong felt that the voice outside the door was really annoying, so he got up and left. Su Xiaoxiao followed, wandering all the way, she was still thinking about what Pang Tong said just now, insisting on something... Should she listen to him and stick to herself? belief?

………………

Zhanjie did not expect that Su Xiaoxiao would take the initiative to come to him. From the very beginning when they met, her posture was clearly undisguised. He only stayed longer because he wanted to wait for her to recover. There is an explanation.

She came to him that day, then said to go back with him, and then left again.

Zhan Jie was in a trance for a while, and Su Xiaoxiao's back made him feel that he was a little too much, because of what he said before.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say much, but asked him to give her some time when she left. She still had some things to deal with. In fact, he didn't have anything to rush back, so Zhan Jie stayed.

The capital is prosperous, but he just stays in the inn most of the time, drinking tea and reading books every day, and his days are rare and leisurely.

Just like this for three days, there was an oiran talent show in the capital. Zhan Jie listened to the people around him talking about it while eating. He was not interested in knowing more about this kind of thing. Zhan’s family style is strict, so it is considered a business entertainment He rarely goes there either.

Zhan Jie didn't have much curiosity, that night he read alone in the room until late at night, and he didn't even take half a step out of the room.

As for his younger brother Zhan Zhao, on the night when Xiangyun became famous in the capital, Zhan Zhaozheng was away with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu from Kaifeng Mansion. They were ordered to come out to handle the case, and the journey was dangerous. He had no idea what happened in the capital.

Only life-chasing is considered lucky, the place of Guose Tianxiang Building is not far from the imperial city, he saw it when he came out from the palace on duty.

From a distance, he could only see singing and dancing, those noble gentlemen who performed their indulgence and extravagance to the fullest. He only glanced at it from afar, and then frowned slightly. that?

Sometimes it is really not difficult to become famous, it only took one night, no one in the capital does not know who Xiangyun is, and no one does not know where Guose Tianxiang Building is.

It's not that Su Xiaoxiao's methods are so clever, she just improved the modern things in her mind into the ancient ones. Some things are not because they are so attractive, but because others have never seen them before.

Xiangyun only sells her art but not her body, although she is in a brothel, she is a high-ranking fairy. Overnight, posts wanting to invite Xiangyun to play the piano and sing for an elegant gathering came one after another.

Her ambition is not here, so even if she is happy, it is only for a moment. She still rarely goes abroad to look at Tianxianglou, and rarely receives guests every day. She wants to be famous in the capital, and then she wants to make those who abandon her regret their original decision. Su Xiaoxiao didn't guess wrong, she was hating, and her hating was worth her whole life to exchange.

Su Xiaoxiao drank a little too much that night, she knew that she walked back to Kaifeng Mansion, but she didn't know how she walked back to Kaifeng Mansion.It was very dark along the way, she insisted on keeping herself awake, she knew that there was someone following her all the time, but she forgot who that person was.

The next day Su Xiaoxiao didn't wake up until the afternoon, Xiaofeng was not there, Tongtong was not there, only Xiaobai curled up on the soft couch and took a nap.

She stood up, and there was still some pain in her back. Feeling her moving, Xiao Bai opened his eyes and took a look at her, then buried his head deeper into his tail.

"If I leave, will you miss me?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered, feeling no longer as sad as she was a few days ago.

In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year. This is her first New Year in the Northern Song Dynasty. Whether she is willing to accept it or not, here is her home, her family, and her parents.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, let's go home, some things can't be escaped and you can only face them, after the new year she will be fifteen, her mother said that the Zhan family will formally hire her when she reaches the age, it seems that she will go back to work again Right and wrong, I just hope that the New Year can be peaceful before we talk about it.

Thinking of marrying Zhan Jie just like this, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this matter was unreliable even if she was killed. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhan Jie, but she felt that they were not the same at all. No, even if she ran away again, she Don't marry Zhanjie either.

Run away, run away again, where can she escape...
