It's not that he treats her badly, he still smiles gently as before, and says softly, answering the questions of Lu Zhi and the people around him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Despite this, Lu Zhi still felt that he was alienated from her.

His smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, although he was smiling, but she always felt that he was alienated from top to bottom, but she couldn't tell her what was wrong.

Sometimes she felt that he was looking at her, but when she looked up at him, he was either talking to his subordinates or enjoying the scenery, as if everything was just an illusion on her part.

The original Duan Chen, who would tease her and tell her that everything was with him, was gone, replaced by the gentle and polite prince of Zhenjiang who made her feel alienated.

She thought that maybe he should have been like this as a prince, but now he just belongs to you.

But one thing is very strange, although he has been alienated from her, he has not changed his itinerary because of this, he still walks slowly all the way, he will go to visit everywhere, and even more, when he goes to see old acquaintances, he always takes her with him, which makes her puzzled.

couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to, and obediently followed him, and met with the county order, the prefect, the governor, the city guard, the tragic general, the commander, and so on.

I also habitually listened to what he said when he introduced himself: "Not an outsider." ”

They went out of Beijing in autumn and traveled on the road for more than three months before they came to Jiangnan before the New Year.

After arriving in Jiangnan, the nurse and the green wind and green leaves suddenly looked a lot more cheerful, although the Wu family is the home of the merchants, but it is quite famous in the Jiangnan generation, and almost all the bustling streets in the south of the Yangtze River can see the shops with the word Wu.

Especially after entering Suzhou, at least three of the ten shops are hung with Wu characters.

Duan Chen sent Lu Zhi all the way to the door of the Wu family's mansion, and said to her with a smile: "Now that I have retired, if you send a message to inform the master after you settle down, he will miss you very much." ”

Lu Zhi showed a trace of guilt on her face when she heard this: "It's my fault." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way, it's just the way it goes. Duan Chen looked at her and said softly: "But Master just sent a message not long ago, let me tell you that even if you go to Jiangnan, you must not fall behind in your studies, let alone slack off, if you have any ambiguity, or confusion, you can ask him to confide." ”

Lu Zhi nodded when she heard this: "Yes, I will not compromise Master's reputation." ”

"That's fine. Duan Chen looked at the nurse and the others behind her, and said with a smile: "Okay, I should go, if you don't leave, the maids behind you will blame me." ”

When Green Wind and Green Leaves heard this, their faces turned red, and they hurriedly said that they were not in a hurry.

Duan Chen smiled, turned over on the horse, sat on the horse, he hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Zhi: "Every year at this time, I will stay in Suzhou City for April, if you have something, you can also check someone to find me, if there is nothing to do, you can also come to catch up, after all, you and I are also brothers and sisters." ”

Lu Zhi nodded in response, Duan Chen looked at her silently again, and then pulled the reins and turned to leave.

Looking at his departing back, Dong'er on the side suddenly smiled and said, "Miss, just now the prince said goodbye to you, just like those people who are happy with each other in the book." Especially the eyes of the young lady who looked at the prince, tsk, full of reluctance......"

"What nonsense?!" the nurse scolded when she heard this: "Fortunately, Miss is still young now, otherwise your remarks alone will ruin Miss's innocence!

Dong'er was reprimanded, lowered her head at the moment, pouted and whispered in defense: "It really seems to be ......"

Lu Zhi glanced at the direction in which Duan Chen left, retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Dong'er, I didn't teach you to read and write, let alone let you talk nonsense. ”

Dong'er hadn't been said like this by Lu Zhi, so she knew that she had made a big mistake, and immediately knelt on the ground with a puff: "Miss, the slave is wrong, I won't talk nonsense in the future!"

Lu Zhi sighed, stretched out her hand to help her up personally, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "I don't want you to be a silent person, you have such a good temperament, but you should understand what you can say and what you can't say, and you should also understand that some things can only be said in private, and you must not talk nonsense in public today." ”

Dong'er didn't seem to understand, she only knew that she had indeed said the wrong thing today, and she also knew that she was indeed a little indulgent, and she confessed her mistake again and again, and swore that she would never do it again.

Lu Zhi waved her hand: "That's it, there must be no next time." Nurse, go knock on the door. ”

The nurse glared at Dong'er, then smiled again, walked two steps quickly to the gate and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, the side door opened, and a servant poked his head out, looked them up and down, and asked, "This is the Wu Mansion in Suzhou, who are you?"

The nurse smiled and said, "I'm Xin, this is our young lady, from the capital, old lady ......"

Before she finished speaking, the servant opened the door and walked out excitedly: "It turned out that Miss Biao was here!"

He said loudly: "Quickly send someone to inform the old lady, just say that Miss Biao is finally here, quickly open the door to welcome Miss Cousin into the house, and quickly inform the uncle, the second master, the third master, and the fourth master." Hurry up, hurry up!"

He said a few quick words in a row, looking excited, Lu Zhi stood silently, even two steps away, he could hear the door with a few quick noises of this servant in a mess.

The servant hurriedly walked to Lu Zhi's side, and said with a smile: "Why has Miss Biao only arrived now?" The old lady and several masters have been chattering for a few months, and they thought that Miss Biao had returned to Beijing halfway. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi said apologetically: "It's my fault, because I was greedy for the beautiful scenery on the road, so I delayed the trip, which made my grandfather and uncles worried." ”

"It doesn't matter. The servant smiled and said, "As long as Miss Biao comes, the old lady and the masters will be very happy!"

As he was talking, the main door of the Wu family's mansion slowly opened, and a bunch of servants came out from inside, and those servants lined up on both sides, bent down and saluted in unison, and said loudly: "Welcome Miss Biao back to the house!"

The sound was loud enough to resound through several streets.

Lu Zhi had never seen such a battle, and when she saw the servants looking at her with smiles on their faces, her heart became inexplicably steady, seeing that her servants knew their masters, and looking at the attitudes and appearances of these servants, she knew what kind of mood her relatives in this house were for her arrival.

Silently looked up at the word Wu Fu hanging high, she thought, this time she was home.
