Plum Blossoms

Her plan was sound, and she did a good job no matter the timing of the skill release or the control of the attack range.

But, there was a little accident.

The ice crystals that sealed the thieves were extremely strong and cold.The frozen person rigidly maintains the movements and expressions before the freezing, which can be seen clearly through the transparent crystal.

These ice crystals are cold and hard, and ordinary swords can't destroy them at all.

The people in the team tried but couldn't do anything.They finally took out the rope, ready to tie the bandits together firmly.These people moved swiftly, but the effect of [Frost Binding] was quickly released, and there were still some people who were not tied up.The person who had just been frozen was still a little dazed, shivering from the cold, and looked stupidly at the few companions who were tied up, not knowing what happened in the short few seconds.Wang Zhaojun had no choice but to let the people in the team back away first, and release the skill Freeze again.

The original killing skills turned into a shield to protect them, she felt very speechless.

The people in the convoy were far away from her, and no one dared to approach her easily. Even the young man who reminded her to "go quickly" at the beginning, only tied the bandits behind the car with his companions.From time to time, they would pretend to glance at her unintentionally, with complicated eyes.

Her strange and eerie way of attack frightened them.

The middle-aged man who wielded a knife came to her, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss."

He said that they were from Shuntai Trading Company, and they were attacked by this group of green forest bandits when they were transporting goods through here.Because this is the path they used to take, the bandits suddenly came from somewhere, and they were caught off guard.If she hadn't come to the rescue, they would either have to abandon their goods and flee, or they would have to fight to the death.

He also said that there is no way to repay the kindness of saving his life. Wang Zhaojun thought about it and said, "Do you have any silver? If you have, just give me some."

There was not much money left on her.

Wang Zhaojun arrived in the city with their convoy.This convoy caused a lot of commotion because of the string of bandits tied up with hemp rope.The people from the commercial firm explained to the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and after a while someone came to take over.

But these have nothing to do with Wang Zhaojun.She bid farewell to the middle-aged man who claimed to be shopkeeper Zhou, took the purse she just got, and went straight to the inn.She rested for the night and left the city early the next morning.

It was already early November when we arrived in Chang'an City.

The walls of Chang'an City were far taller and more majestic than the many small towns she passed by.It was dusk at this time, the afterglow of the setting sun spread over the city wall, and the two solemn characters on the top of the city gate were shrouded in golden light, revealing a bit of gentleness for no reason.

According to the book, the concubine Zhaojun of the Ming Dynasty started from here thousands of years ago, heading north all the way to the land of the Huns.

She was very curious about this woman with the same name and surname as herself, and even a somewhat similar life experience.

Did she get any sleep the first night before she left?What was she thinking the moment she walked out of the city gate?She worked so hard all the way, did she have any regrets in her heart?

Will she also miss the plum blossoms in her hometown?

In this way, Wang Zhaojun lived in Chang'an City.

It was a huge city, and she discovered something new every day.What she likes most is playing on the Ten Mile Long Street. Whether it's the exquisite goods in Semuren's shop or the performances of acrobats on the street, she enjoys watching them all with gusto.When the performance stopped, she also followed the example of those around her by throwing copper coins into the bowl in front of the booth. The coins hit the stone bowl, making a crisp ding-dong sound, and then fell to the bottom of the bowl, where they were stacked with other copper coins.

Once, she was walking in a lively place, looking casually at the vendors on both sides, and inadvertently attracted her attention by a hairpin placed on the linen.This hairpin can't be called expensive, the material is neither gold nor jade, it seems to be a kind of wood.There are neither golden flowers nor east beads on it, the end is carved into cloud patterns, and a white bead is embedded in the center.It can be seen that the person who made this hairpin has a good handwork, the pattern is detailed and natural, and the hairpin looks very elegant and delicate.

Wang Zhaojun saw it among the many fancy bracelets and earrings at first glance, and played with it in his hand, thinking that it was very suitable for Mrs. Hua.

That lady was very kind to her at the beginning, and she wanted to return something in return.

It's just that Mrs. Hua would like such an ordinary or even cheap thing?

She hesitated and put the hairpin back.

The owner of the vendor was still entertaining her enthusiastically: "Does the girl like this hairpin? I think this hairpin is very suitable for the girl with black...silver hair. If you like it, buy it. It only costs five taels of silver. There is only one. If you miss it, you won't have it." gone."

No, Mrs. Hua is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhaojun shook his head.Just when the peddler thought that the business would not come true, she said, "Please wrap it up for me, I want it."

The peddler suddenly smiled.You must know that this is five taels of silver, the most expensive thing on his stall, enough to feed his family for a long time.This girl doesn't bargain at all, she is really a businessman's favorite customer.

A crisp voice said: "Hey, did sister buy it?"

The sound was too close to him, Wang Zhaojun couldn't help turning around to look.Standing not far behind her were two little girls who seemed to be Biyu Nianhua.The little girl in front was wearing a pink dress, and her round face was very pleasing.She smiled all over her face: "I also want to buy that hairpin. I saw my sister put it down just now, so I thought I could buy it."

If it was an ordinary thing, Wang Zhaojun would not mind giving it to her.It's just that she wanted to give this hairpin to Mrs. Hua, so she said, "Sorry, I can't give it to you."

The little girl waved her hands again and again: "No, my sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Wang Zhaojun nodded, took out the silver and put it on the vendor, took the small wooden box he handed over and left.

After she left, the girl in green behind the little girl said nervously, "Miss, do we still have to follow?"

The girl in pink just looked at Wang Zhaojun's back, smiled playfully after a while, and said, "No, this is too deliberate, let's find a chance to talk to him in two days."

There are many rivers and lakes in Chang'an City, and willow trees are planted beside the lakes.If the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the soft and slender willow branches hang down, gently swaying the water surface, it must be a very beautiful scene.But now the weather is getting colder, and the willow leaves have already withered, leaving only bare branches, waiting for the next spring to germinate.

Wang Zhaojun will come to the lake for two days if he has nothing to do.

The temperature has dropped, but the weather is not bad. The warm sunshine makes people feel lazy and want to sleep.Walking across the long stone bridge, the pavilion in the middle of the lake is empty.Wang Zhaojun sat down on a wooden chair in the pavilion, leaned against the hollowed-out fence, and looked down at the water.The surface of the water is not always calm, there are ripples from time to time, and sometimes there are bubbles, as if something is moving in the water.

It was a little cold by the water, but she was the least afraid of the cold, and her clothes were thinner than others.

Someone was walking towards here while talking.Wang Zhaojun retracted his eyes and looked at it casually, and was a little surprised at the moment.

It was the two little girls I saw two days ago.

They obviously remembered her too.The little girl with a round face was not wearing a pink dress today, but was wrapped in a thick cotton cloak, with a circle of white hair tied around the brim of the hat, which made her face even more pink.She said in surprise, "Sister, we meet again."

She said that her name was Zhao Wanru, she was from Chang'an City, and beside her was her maid Baiyun.The two of them went out to play today, walking casually, and happened to walk to the lake.I was a little tired from walking, but when I saw the Huxin Pavilion, I wanted to come over and sit down, but I didn't expect to meet her by chance.

"Sister Wang is not from Chang'an, is it? I have never seen you before." Zhao Wanru smiled cutely, "Sister is so beautiful, if I have seen her, I will not forget it easily."

Zhao Wanru said her name, so naturally Wang Zhaojun couldn't treat her indifferently.But now she can be regarded as half a person in the world, and she has a little bit of insight, and she only says that her name is Wang Zhao.

Wang Zhaojun said: "I came from somewhere else, come here... have a look."

Zhao Wanru raised her eyebrows and smiled, quite proudly: "I see, my sister must have come to play, right? Our Chang'an City has a lot of interesting things. Where does my sister live now? We met twice in a row. It must be fate. Tomorrow I'm going to find my sister, and I'll be a host for my sister."

She did what she said.Early the next morning, Zhao Wanru came to the inn where Wang Zhaojun was staying.

She said that the famous Wangyuefang in Chang'an City had a new song and dance show, and invited Wang Zhaojun to go and see it.

After going back and forth like this, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Wang Zhaojun knew that Zhao Wanru's family was in business and was a well-known big merchant.She is the old daughter of her parents. She has two older brothers and one older sister, who is already married.Her parents are getting old, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are now living in the capital and are in charge of the business in Beidi, and the second brother will take over the management of the rest.She has been cared and pampered since she was a child. She doesn't like reading or female celebrities, but likes to eat, drink and have fun.In a few days, the weather will be even colder, and her second brother will definitely not let her out, so she has to hurry up and play for more days.

"Sister Wang, why don't you come to my house as a guest?" Zhao Wanru looked at her helplessly, took her hand and acted like a baby, "Living in the inn is not comfortable at all. Since I have become acquainted with my sister, how can I let my sister continue to live in it?" What about this kind of place?"

Wang Zhaojun smiled lightly: "I think this inn is not bad. Although we know each other, it's still young, so it's not easy to come and disturb us."

Zhao Wanru pouted: "Elder sister doesn't want to get close to me." She turned her back to Wang Zhaojun and said in frustration, "I'm home alone, so boring."

Wang Zhaojun felt strange: "Didn't you say that there are still parents and elder brother?"

Zhao Wanru lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, and said, "My parents will come back after staying in Zhuangzi in the countryside for a while, and my second elder brother left for Jiangnan a few days ago. I don't know what happened to the Hua family in Jiangnan. A happy event. My family has some business contacts with the Hua family, and I received the invitation, so my second brother went."

When he first heard the words "Jiangnan flower family", Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but lost his mind: "Is that the flower family in Hangzhou city?"

"That's right, his family's business is quite big." Zhao Wanru said, "Second brother said that the one who got married this time is the fourth son of the Hua family."

The fourth son, that is Hua Manlou's fourth brother, she couldn't see his elder brother when she went to Hua's house last time.

When the elder brother gets married, Huamanlou must return to Huafu.

Will the Hua family ask him about her whereabouts?If asked, how would he answer?

She only left a text message and left. Will Hua Manlou... be angry?

How is he now?

Wang Zhaojun was in a daze.

Zhao Wanru came to pester her again: "My sister will live in my house, okay?"

Wang Zhaojun was still immersed in his thoughts, looked into the little girl's expectant eyes, and replied casually: "Okay."
