Chapter 42 Prohibited Business
In late May, early summer has entered Hedong. On the official road south of Taiyuan City, the quiet heat evaporated on the earth, shining, swaying leisurely and gently, like fish swimming in the water. On both sides of the official road are fields shining by the scorching sun. In the fields are endless wheat, and the green wheat ears are undulating with the wind.
At this time, a woman riding a horse appeared on the official road in the distance. She wore a short black shirt on the upper body and a long black silver-edged skirt on the lower body. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slightly darker skin and surprisingly bright eyes.
She was Dou Xianniang who had been there thousands of miles away. Dou Xianniang could not get her phoenix tail knife, but only got a pair of bows and arrows and a horizontal knife. That's it, she shot and killed several small thieves who blocked the road and robbed the road. She traveled for nearly a month and finally arrived in Taiyuan City.
The closer she got to Taiyuan City, the more nervous she became. She didn't know what she was doing in Taiyuan City. Maybe she was looking for someone, but.

What if he ignores himself?
No! It's not like that, what's the point of not paying attention to him? He just went to pay back his money, one hundred taels of gold, he had never met him, how could he accept his gold casually? Yes, he just went to pay back his money, and there was no other meaning.
As she thought about it, her face suddenly turned red, as if the pedestrians on the road had seen through her thoughts. She quickly took out a veil and tied it, and the veil around covered her face.
After a moment, Dou Xianniang rode a horse to the city gate. The city gate was full of people who were about to enter the city. A group of cars were entering the city. The carriages were full of female guards standing on both sides, looking vigilantly at the surrounding situation.
"Auntie, who is this?" Dou Xianniang asked an old woman next to her in a low voice.
The old woman looked at her and smiled, "Miss is from another place! This is the car of the Princess Chu."
"Oh! It turns out it was the Princess of Chu. Didn't it mean that the Princess of Chu is very approachable? Why did it start to block the road?"
The old woman quickly explained: "Miss is a misunderstanding. The Princess of Chu did not block the way. It was because everyone respected the Princess of Chu that they took the initiative to give way to her car. The girl could also go over. Look, aren't there a few vegetables in the team?"
Dou Xianniang saw it. There were indeed a few old farmers selling vegetables in the team, carrying vegetable loads and leisurely following the team forward. The guards on both sides did not interfere with them.
Dou Xianniang also wanted to follow her into the city, but she thought of herself carrying a bow and arrow and a knife, and finally she resisted the urge to enter the city and stopped the horse and waited for the Princess Chu to enter the city.
Pei Minqiu came back from the villa outside the city, and the weather was getting hotter. The royal family also began to consider a place to escape the summer. The best place to escape the summer is of course the Fenyang Palace in Loufan County, where summer is like spring and the scenery is beautiful. It is just too far away and not very realistic.
They could only find a summer resort nearby. In the end, Pei Minqiu chose Qifeng Villa located in Longshan, southwest of the city. It was originally an imperial villa in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Later, Yang Jian gave it to King Yang Liang of Han, which became Yang Liang's summer resort.
Later, Li Yuan also lived there for a while, and now it is temporarily vacant. There are many pavilions and towers in the villa, rich forests and clear springs. You can move in just a little clean up.
As the mistress of the royal palace, Pei Minqiu returned from a special trip to the villa for inspection today. In the carriage, through the thin windows and gauze, Pei Minqiu also saw Dou Shin-niang wearing a hat.
She was also a little curious, wearing a sword with a bow, wearing a wide silver silk black dress, wearing a black shirt, riding a tall horse. Women with such a dress are rarely seen, most of whom are female heroes who walk in the world, and they were dressed like this when they were born in the world.
But Pei Minqiu's curiosity was only a moment. The outside of the car window turned black and the carriage entered the city cave. When he drove into Taiyuan City, the woman with a knife in a black shirt and black skirt gradually floated away from the corner of her memory.
The princess drove into the city. Everyone followed behind and entered the city. Dou Xianniang was also mixed in the crowd and entered Taiyuan City. This was her first time to come to this ancient city. Her eyes were full of curiosity and she looked around at the new capital of the Sui Dynasty.
At the same time, the city also made her feel very unfamiliar. Where is his home? Dou Xianniang looked around and saw several soldiers sitting there resting by the city wall. She urged her to step forward and take out two hangings of money from the horse bag.
"Several sergeants, ask you something." She threw the money over.
Several soldiers were startled. They looked at the young woman with a veil on her face, then looked at her knife, and finally their eyes fell on two hangings of money.
An older soldier bowed and smiled, "What does this girl want to ask?"
"Oh... I want to find out where General Luo Shixin's mansion is? I am his cousin, come from his hometown." Dou Xianniang deliberately bit the word "counse" very heavily and clearly, but her face turned red again, fortunately there was a gauze blocking it.
Several soldiers looked at each other, but they didn't know it, but for the sake of money.

The elderly soldier ran towards the top of the city, "Please wait, girl, I'll go and inquire."
After a moment, the elderly soldier ran back and smiled and said, "Girl, General Luo's mansion is located in Honghuai Lane, Jin Street, north of the city. You will know when you ask there."
"Thank you!"
Dou Xianniang urged the horse to go north of the city. The elderly soldier scratched his head and smiled: "This girl is so impatient. I haven't finished talking yet!"
He lowered his head, but saw that the two hangings of money were gone. He was furious and grabbed a soldier's clothes, "Which one of mine?"
.........
Dou Xianniang rode all the way, and soon she found Linjin Street. She inquired along the way and found Honghuai Lane. There were several old locust trees at the entrance of the alley. At this time, the snow-white locust flowers were in full bloom. One of the locust trees was rarely purple-red, so it was called Honghuai Lane.
Dou Xunniang was so nervous that she jumped out of her chest. She turned over and got off the horse, took off the hat, and slowly walked to a mansion covering an area of about five acres. There were two rows of halberds at the door of the mansion. There were a black gold wooden sign hanging on the wall beside the gate, with two white seal characters engraved on it, "Luo Mansion!"
It's this place. Dou Xianniang bit her lip and just approached the steps. At this time, the door opened. An old man in a cloth clothes walked out of the mansion with a broom. He saw Dou Xianniang and asked strangely: "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"Old man, is this General Luo Shixin's mansion?"
"This is exactly, the girl is..."
Dou Xianniang hesitated for a moment and plucked up the courage to say, "I... I am his cousin, come from my hometown, is he here?"
The old man laughed, "Why don't I remember having you as my niece?"
Dou Xianniang's face suddenly turned red and her cheeks were hot. It turned out that the old man was Luo Shixin's father, and she thought he was.
.

Dou Xianniang was ashamed and turned around and left. Luo Shixin's father shouted from behind: "Girl, Shixin is training troops in the camp outside the west of the city and will come back at dusk. If you have any urgent matters, you can go directly to the military camp to find him."
"Thank you uncle, I'll be back in the evening!"
Dou Xianniang agreed and turned over and left. Luo Shixin's father looked at her back gradually disappearing, and smiled to herself with relief: "This girl is good, I like it very much."
"Uncle, who do you like?" Suddenly, a broken voice came from behind. Luo's father was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin, and knocked him over the broom handle. "You slander, I'm talking about your future daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with you?"
Cheng Yaojin was on duty today. The military yamen was very close to Luo Shixin's mansion, so he hid in Luo's mansion for a nap. At this time, he was sleeping enough and was about to return to the military camp. When he saw Luo's father's broomstick hit him, he was so scared that he hugged his head and asked, "Uncle, when did Shixin have a fiancée? Why don't I know?"
Luo's father suddenly thought that Cheng Yaojin had a very good relationship with his son. Perhaps he knew this woman, so he quickly grabbed Cheng Yaojin and asked in a low voice: "I'll ask you, is Shi Xin having a young woman with that recently?"
He stretched out his fingers and compared them, looking at Cheng Yaojin with anticipation. Shixin's wife and children died at the hands of the bandit Lu Mingyue a few years ago, and have been alone until now. Luo's father really hoped that his son would marry again, but his son never cared about his heart, which made him anxious.
A young woman suddenly came to look for her son today. Although she was not very beautiful, her simplicity made Luo's father like her very much, and he became anxious.
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"You idiot!"
Luo's father knocked him hard with the broom handle and said anxiously: "A young woman came to find Shixin just now. I feel that she is very interesting to Shixin, so I asked you."
Cheng Yaojin thought about it and asked quickly: "What kind of woman is it?"
Luo's father thought for a while, "About seventeen or eighteen years old, his skin was slightly dark, his eyes were bright, he was carrying a bow and arrow, and he also had a knife..."
"It's her!"
Cheng Yaojin jumped up with a 'ha!' and laughed: "Uncle, you are going to be a relative of Dou Jiande."
He rode away on his horse. Luo's father was stunned and asked quickly: "Heiguo, what did you say?"
"You will know if you ask Luo Luo yourself." Cheng Yaojin had already run hundreds of steps, and he had the chance to blackmail Luo Shixin again.
.........
In the Xicheng Military Camp, Luo Shixin was dragged out of the tent by Cheng Yaojin. Luo Shixin said helplessly: "Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"You boy, the happy event is here." Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "It seemed that there were a few more silver flying in front of him.
Luo Shixin glanced at him suspiciously, "Do you want to hit my wallet again?"
"What do you say? I have good news to tell you, do you still remember that woman? It's the one who shoots you with an arrow."
Luo Shixin pounded in his heart, but his face seemed to be nothing, "Oh! It's her, what's wrong? Did something happen to her?"
"I just saw her on the street. Oh! She was dressed in a gorgeous manner and looked so beautiful. Tsk tsk! She was like a fairy descending to earth. How about it? Do you want to know where she lives?"
Luo Shixin snorted coldly, turned around and left, and Cheng Yaojin grabbed him, "I really won't lie to you, give me a hundred taels of silver, I'll tell you where she is?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you bastard, you've never seen her before, you know what a f*ck!"
Luo Shixin ignored him, turned around and left.
