Red Mountain Town, named after the maple trees in the surrounding mountains. Every late autumn, the hills from green to yellow, yellow to red, the layers of forest gradually dyed, the rich autumn smell of the oncoming, is a part of the love of the entertainment of the scholars salacious.
At this time, there were more than ten people gathered in the town. They were dressed like scholars and were chatting loudly in the town's most famous Red Leaf Palace.
Red Leaf Palace was a teahouse. Sitting in the teahouse, one could look out of the window on the second floor. One could see the blue sky, white clouds, mountains and red leaves all over the city, making one feel relaxed and happy.
A line of carriages passed the Red Leaf Pavilion and stopped at the Gladys Inn, which was located diagonally across the street.
A young woman dressed in pink jumped down from the lead carriage. She had a round face, a round figure, and a double bun. Two pink silk flowers were tied in the bun.
The scholars sitting in front of the window on the second floor of the Red Leaf Pavilion were somewhat disappointed.
Soon after, a graceful young lady jumped off the carriage. Her black hair was like clouds, skin like cream, and she was wearing a bright green half-arm dress with an ink-jade skirt. The skirt was embroidered with simple flowers, which made her slim and graceful, curvy and graceful with every movement of her hands! Just looking at his back, it was enough to make people think!
"I can't believe there's such a beauty here!" A scholar by the window softly called out.
Hearing this, everyone crowded to the window and looked at it at the same time. They could not help but look at it with infatuation.
Immediately, someone began to recite a few lines of poetry. Although it was a poem to praise a beauty, it was a bit flippant.
"It's time to hit her, to be so rude to her!" If Sister-in-law finds out, I'll punish you to sleep in the study room! "
After the laughter, someone said gloomily, "I wonder which rich family brought so many warriors to travel with them."
Everyone was silent for a moment. They weren't blind. Everyone could tell that the martial artists that accompanied them were different from the ordinary martial arts masters. These people now had two more portions of killing intent.
When the beautiful woman entered the tavern and was no longer seen, someone said: "You look like a lady to me. Zi Xing, aren't you not married yet? If not, why not send a waiter to investigate? "
The scholar, who was called Zi Xing, was rather interested. He had achieved the title of Elementary Scholar this year, and could be considered to have a small fortune in his family. He was looking forward to the day when he would be able to bring honor to his family.
He had originally wanted to speak of marriage in Prefecture City after the Spring Festival, and wait for the rich and powerful family to catch him. However, East County incident this summer had disrupted everyone's plans. Originally, they planned to postpone the event to September, but the examinees would be bored while waiting at Prefecture City. They invited them to come over and have fun, but they didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman by chance.
"I wonder where he's going. If we rush forward and disturb her, wouldn't that be a beauty? " Zixing hesitated for a long time, but eventually decided against it.
The scholar who instigated him felt a little regretful and said, "I was just asking, I didn't ask you to do anything good immediately, why are you so afraid? A man must act bravely. "
Someone at the side scoffed, "I'm afraid he's worried that the beauty will refuse and end up getting slapped in the face." He impatiently waved his fan, calling for the waiter, and threw him a chunk of silver. "Go, ask Young Master who has just entered the inn across the street."
"Alright." The waiter flattered her with a few words of praise and quickly left.
After a while, the waiter returned and respectfully replied in front of the guests:
"I found it. I said it was for the Prefecture City. However, looking at the guard's identity token, it didn't seem like it belonged to any of the families with Prefecture City, but had the word "Any" written on it. Those guards speak in the official language and they carry the accent of the capital. "
"Ren?" All the scholars looked at each other. Some of them were well-informed and whispered, "There is only one family in the entire dynasty that can afford to use a guard's surname."
"Which family?" Someone eagerly asked. Ren this surname is not common, could it be …
"In the Lord Ren Residence, Assistant Minister of Revenue," replied the person who knew the answer. It is said that this time, he was appointed by the Saints to be their envoy official and is heading to the East County to help with the disaster. " The scholars would talk about court affairs and the preferences of the officials in the imperial court when they were free, making it convenient for them to have more leeway in writing their program theories in the future, and thus gaining the favor of the reading officials. He was naturally familiar with the name of the favorite student of the imperial court, the scout for flowers, Ren Zihua, who had been in YuanTai for three years.
"Wasn't Lord Ren acting as the Son of Heaven to tour the Six Hells?" Someone said in surprise.
Another person answered: "It is said that the matter of Yanzhou Prefecture is very serious. It was dealt with by the Lord Ren. A month ago, there was still a new official who went to take over the position of Yanzhou Prefecture, so he passed by here. "
Everyone began to talk about government affairs and no longer dared to talk about beauties. After all, she was listed as one of the famous officials of the imperial court. This woman's status was either rich or noble, not something they could afford to think about.
Scholar Huang, who had previously spent money to scout for information, felt dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes as a plan formed in his mind.
On the next day, the young grasses slowly recovered and, at Wang Ning's suggestion, climbed up the mountain to see the maple leaves.
The maple tree, she said, looked fine from a distance. It was a large piece of ground ground, and it was lively and full of color. However, looking at it from a closer distance, it was nothing compared to the beautiful trees on the Posterior Mountain of Reliance Village.
In the past two days, the temperature had plummeted and the maple leaves had become yellow and red. When they got closer, they could still see some green veins on the maple leaves. The weeds on the ground were tenaciously green, not covered by a thick layer of leaves like the rumors said.
Fortunately, there were quite a few wild fruits. Along the way, he encountered squirrels and sparrows that chirped along the way, which added a bit to his interest.
The little bird was not afraid of her. It flew down and landed on her hand, pecking at the grain in her palm.
He pecked and raised his head to look at her. His black eyes were exceptionally intelligent, reminding people of a certain annoying crow.
With a satisfied expression, She Miao narrowed her eyes and reached out her other hand to caress a gray chirp. Suddenly, there were frightened cries coming from the woods!
The shrieking and wailing sound scared the little birds and they all flew away!
She Miao's expression was impassive. She raised her head to look, and not far away, the big cat's agile figure flashed and disappeared, blending into the mountain and the autumn, making it even harder to distinguish.
Alright, so it seems that my own pet gave me a fright.
Wang Ning and his four subordinates didn't even glance at each other as they dutifully stood guard nearby. They didn't even have the intention to step forward and check and ask questions.
Not long after, the group of people staggered down the mountain and arrived before them.
Seeing the guards with sabers on their bodies, the group of people finally slowed down their pace. The one in front had an unconcealable expression on his face as he panted and said, "Young lady, don't go any further. There are ferocious beasts on the mountain! "
Soon after, a few men dressed as scholars came down. Their faces were all ashen and their souls were in turmoil. Some even lost their shoes and were in an extremely sorry state.
Wang Ning took two steps forward, blocking between He Miao and the scholar, nodding his head, "Thank you for your reminder." The rest of the guards stepped aside to give way.
The scholars naturally recognized that this woman was the one they had praised yesterday. However, now that they had met face to face, they couldn't help but feel disappointed when they saw the other party's plain and ordinary appearance, not even comparable to that round face girl.
Scholar Huang cursed silently, "With such looks, how could that little tyrant catch his eye when he couldn't even compare to the village girl?" There was no way to act out a scene where a tyrant tried to rob a girl from a good family!
