Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining and his party came to the city not long after.

The streets here are smooth and clean, with shop signs hanging high on both sides of the road, and wine billboards flying around. After one street, there is a market in front of you.

Those who sell vegetables and meat, those who sell steamed buns and wonton noodles, those who carry burdens and shave their heads, and those who play shadow puppetry, sing small operas and perform arts... There is business to do in front of every stall.

A young girl led her servants to buy beaded silk handkerchiefs in a roadside jewelry shop. There were also three or five middle-aged men walking and talking loudly.

The old man who made jaggery took two small bamboo sticks, and twisted them with their wrists together in the boiled sticky syrup, and then made a longan-sized sugar ball. The toddler threw the copper coin into the pottery bowl, took the candy with his dirty little hand, licked it contentedly and ran to show off to his playmates, and the playmates could get out the copper coin to buy candy together.

The scene in front of me is really a scene that can only be seen in the peaceful and prosperous times. The faces of the people here are all red, and one can tell that they have not suffered from hunger and hunger for a long time and are living in a very prosperous life.

A young man wearing a half-new indigo cotton gown and Liuhe hat, carrying a load, passed by yelling "Saobing".

Qin Yining raised his chin towards the peddler.

Jiyun understood immediately, took two quick steps forward and said, "Wait a minute, little brother."

"Hey!" The peddler put down his burden, turned around and saw that the person who called him was a very beautiful girl, and his face turned a little red, "Miss, want to buy sesame seed cakes? Two fen for sprinkling chives, five fen for stuffing meat. "

Ji Yunsu picked up a thin, very clean white cloth and said with a smile, "Give me twenty chives and thirty meat-stuffed ones."

The young man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily, and took the oil paper to wrap the sesame seed cakes.

Taking advantage of the time when he was filling the sesame seed cakes, Jiyun asked: "Excuse me, brother, I want to ask you, where is the inn in the city?"

The young man had already seen Qin Yining and the guards in plain clothes behind him, and he knew they were not ordinary people when he saw their clothes, so he immediately said: "The best inn is to go to the end of this street, turn right After two intersections, it’s called Home Harmony Garden.”

Jiyun nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you very much." While taking out the money bag, she took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the young man, and at the same time asked, "Does my brother know how to get to the Stone Road?"

"Stone Number?" The young man handed Jiyun the 20 packaged scallion pancakes, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of the Stone Number before walking around the city, what kind of thing is it?" Shop? What kind of business do you do?"

Jiyun avoided this problem by turning around and beckoning someone. After handing the cake to Bingtang and sending it back, he asked again: "We are here for business. Do you know how to get to Qiu's house?"

The young man paused while making the cake, with a look of vigilance on his face, "Are you looking for Qiu's family?"

When Jiyun heard it, there really is a Qiu family here? Dang Li said: "We are here to find Qiu Feishan."

If it was any other girl, Jiyun wouldn't have mentioned her name, but Qiu Feishan wore men's clothes to do business, and at first glance, it was not a day or two. Presumably she was used to showing off men's clothes, so Jiyun didn't ask her any questions. No burden.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you know Miss Qiu?"

At this time, Qin Yining had brought rock sugar back to fetch the cakes, and distributed them to the guards behind him.

She was shaking the fan, the jade tassels hanging on her wrists were shaking, and the white gauze cap was slightly lifted by the light veil blown by the breeze, revealing her beautifully curved neck and chin.

The young man saw Qin Yining like this,

I couldn't help but click my tongue again, wondering how such a pretty big girl was dressed as a maid, so it turned out that their master had such an appearance.

With a glance, he saw the jade pendant in the shape of a maple leaf. The young man looked relaxed, as if he was completely relieved, and said with a smile, "So you are Miss Qiu's friends. The main house of the Qiu family is in the east of the city. All of them are relatives of the Qiu family's clan. But I heard that Miss Qiu has gone out to do business, and I haven't seen her in the city for a while, so if you want to find her, you may be in vain."

Jiyun took the cakes and distributed them to Mu Jinghu, Jing Zhe and other elite tiger guards.

Qin Yining also picked up a scallion pancake and said with a smile, "Thank you for letting me know. We'll come here, and I'm going to visit anyway. Send Yun."

Jiyun immediately added another small piece of silver knowingly, and gave it to the young man selling cakes.

The young man refused at first, but Qin Yining said with a smile: "It's a good day today, please accept it if you want to please me."

Only then did the young man shy away from Yin Zi's subordinates, picked up the half-empty burden, and continued to yell "Saobing" and left.

Qin Yining watched his leaving back, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and he turned around and said, "Let's go to that home and garden first."

"yes."

Everyone set off and took a detour to drive to Home and Garden. Because there were female relatives and there were so many people, they directly rented a house to live in.

After everything was settled, Qin Yining first ordered the store to prepare meals, and the guards following her were all young men, and each of the sesame seed cakes just now was divided into one or two, which was not enough to fit between the teeth.

Even if you find something strange, you have to wait until you are full.

Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun had dinner in the house.

Just after eating and washing hands, Mu Jinghu came to visit.

"It's not right today, you have to be careful." Mu Jinghu sat down and said this.

Qin Yining also nodded solemnly: "It's not quite right. Qiu Feishan is the big shopkeeper of Sitonghao and the eldest lady of the Qiu family. Just now, Jiyun wanted to find out about Qiu Feishan, so he casually said that the Qiu family sells sesame seed cakes. My little brother is full of admiration and respect, and he, like the defenders, recognizes this jade pendant."

Qin Yining lifted up the maple leaf jade pendant, but shook it before his eyes.

"Qiu Feishan intentionally lured me here, and handed over the entry card to Sichuan ahead of time, just because I expected to use it. Jingzhe said that the other people's entry cards are all wooden cards, which is different from this one. Just now The peddler and I asked Qiu Feishan, and when he saw that I had this brand, he stopped being wary of me. All these things show that we were tricked into being attracted, and Qiu Feishan is the eldest daughter of the Qiu family. And it is an existence that everyone in Jianchuan City knows. This brand probably represents the identity of Miss Qiu's family, otherwise their attitude would not have changed like this. The most important point is that the little brother doesn't know the shop of Stone , as if they don’t know that Stone is the Qiu family’s business.”

Qin Yining rambled on, telling Mu Jinghu all the analysis and guesses in his heart.

Mu Jinghu frowned and thought about it, and said: "Maybe it's Miss Qiu's business outside, neither the inside nor the outsiders know about it."

"Your analysis is reasonable. In fact, no matter what these are, we are all caught in the trap."

Qin Yining lowered his eyes, and once again refreshed his understanding of Qiu Feishan's resourcefulness. This is the first time she has met someone who is so good at playing tricks, taking everything and everything into account in advance.

What was she leading them to Jianchuan City for?

When Qin Yining was racking his brains, Jiyun's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, a Master Qiu came outside to ask for a visit."
