Chapter Eighty-Five: Rich and Oily
Hurrying and hurrying, the Shangguan family's convoy finally arrived at the Shuzhong boundary on June 10. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This day is the 70th birthday of the old lady Shangguan, and it is also the day when the Ouyang family and Long Ba agreed on the event.
Ouyang Manshu hugged Shangguan Han's shoulders tightly, "Brother Han, do we really want to go back?" I'm afraidβ"
Shangguan Han patted her hands and said softly, "It's okay." β
Gray Ball deliberately enlivened the atmosphere and said with a smile, "Miss Ouyang, you have forgotten that our son-in-law is the head of the 'Three Heroes of Shuzhong', and nothing can stump him. β
"But that's my dad." Ouyang Manshu's voice was lowered a little. Although her father's actions made her very ashamed, in the end, she was a blood relative, and she didn't want her father to be injured or her brother to be injured.
"Miss Ouyang, what about your father, who let him collude with outsiders to deal with the Shangguan family? You can't be indistinguishable from right and wrong, black and white. "The Gray Ball Protector was heartfelt, and he spoke a little unscrupulously, just trying to be happy, and after he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.
Ouyang Manshu's eyes turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes, "Brother Han, I don't want to, I just ...... That's my dad, and our family can't stand the toss anymore...... Brother Han, please, can you promise me, don't hurt my father until you have to......"
Shangguan Han hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, "I promise you, I promise you." β
Gray Ball stood aside, pursed his mouth, and muttered in a voice that only Bai Qianqian, who was standing beside him, could hear, "Let Childe not hurt your father, why don't you let your father not hurt Childe?" A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, what she says on weekdays is willing to do anything for her son, but when it comes to the end, it becomes like this. β
It's funny that the gray ball is too straight. She can understand Ouyang Manshu, on the one hand, her blood-related family, and on the other hand, the man she loves, it is indeed an extremely difficult choice. The two sides are happy, it is the best ending, and it is also what she wants!
"Brother Long!" Suddenly, Gray Ball waved his hand into the distance, and his face was full of smiles. After he finished shouting, he turned around and said to Bai Qianqian, "That's Brother Long, a member of the Shangguan family." Don't be fooled by his appearance, he looks fierce, but he's actually nice to us brothers. β
Bai Qianqian raised his eyes, and not far away, a mighty group of people walked towards them. The men were dressed in black robes embroidered with white snake heads. The person in the lead is the big brother dragon in the mouth of the gray ball, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, three scars on his face, and a somewhat fierce face.
Long Biao came to the front of the convoy and bent down to greet Shangguan Han, "Eldest son, Madame sent us to pick us up." Today is the old lady's birthday, and the whole family is waiting for you. β
"My mother? Does she know we're coming back today? Shangguan Han turned around and stared at the gray ball, "When did you send a message?" β
Gray Ball touched his head and tried to think about it, "Wronged, I've never sent a message behind your back." β
"Really? Even Xiao Yue didn't? Shangguan Han asked.
Gray Ball's face turned red, and he immediately stammered, "Gong, Gongzi, I ......" How did Childe know that he had been in contact with Xiao Yue? He dared to vouch for his life, he really didn't disclose their itinerary, he just said that he was safe and asked Xiao Yue not to remember. Is that wrong? Shouldn't he pass on the book to his beloved Hongyan?
Long Biao showed a hint of a smile and joked about the gray ball, "Brother, you and Miss Xiao Yue really haven't seen each other for a day, like every other three autumns." β
After that, he put away his smile again, and said to Shangguan Han respectfully, "The eldest prince is really wrong to blame the gray ball brothers this time, and the lady doesn't know when the eldest prince will return to Shuzhong, so she only arranges for her subordinates to wait at the boundary." The subordinates have been waiting here for five days, waiting for the eldest prince's carriage to appear. β
Shangguan Han nodded, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little, "Let's go!" β
Entering Shuzhong City, Bai Qianqian's big eyes never stopped, looking at this strange city that was so rich and prosperous that it was impossible to increase without blinking.
At the gate of the city stands a huge round stone pillar, on which a large white snake is carved with jade and jade, with its head down and tail on it, and the snake's eyes are two top-grade rubies, shining in the sun. The stone pillar hangs a big archway, and the dragon and phoenix dance on the archway are engraved with the four big characters of "Bashu Shengjing".
In the city, the spacious bluestone avenues crisscross the city, the pedestrians are bustling, the shops are lined up one after another, the noise is noisy, the noise is noisy, the juggling cheers, and the opera are endless. The prosperity here is far more than the Shengjing she remembers.
Even the costumes of the people in Shu are extraordinarily extravagant. The eyes were full of men and women, all dressed brightly. The hair crowns on men's heads and the hair ornaments on women's heads are mostly intricate and exquisitely carved, and many of them are inlaid with genuine jewels and jade.
The most exaggerated thing is that one of the women, with a gold hair ornament pressed on her head, pearl earrings hanging on her earlobes, and three jade necklaces around her neck, pinched a handful of sweat for her in the light and dark, how heavy is this outfit on her body!
If it was in Liyue City, this kind of dress was too ostentatious, attracting not only the attention of everyone, but also the eyes of those thugs, and this woman was afraid that it would be difficult for her to return home safely. In Shuzhong, the woman's return rate is not high, and everyone seems to have long been used to it.
In Bai Qianqian's stunned eyes, Shangguan Mansion appeared in front of him. This is a huge mansion with almost no borders visible, and countless white snakes are carved on the wall, all of which are carved in jade. On the sixteen-open gate, there is a large golden plaque, which is not engraved with any words, except for a white snake carved on the wall, but this snake head is obviously larger than the other snakes.
Because of the old lady's birthday, the word "Shou" was pasted on the gate, and hundreds of carriages were parked in the square in front of the door. Ouyang's carriage was at the front, standing alone in a row, with the word "Ouyang" on the body. The Ouyang family and the Shangguan family are world friends, and they have a marriage contract, and the relationship is so deep that others can hardly match. Therefore, the carriage of the Ouyang family is always at the front.
Ouyang Manshu followed Shangguan Han out of the carriage, but stopped at the door, hesitating, "Brother Han, can I not go in?" β
Shangguan Han knew the concerns in her heart, but she couldn't leave her still on the street, and she couldn't go back to Ouyang's house, "Don't think about anything, you just stay in my yard today, don't go anywhere." Whatever happens outside, don't come out. β
"I ...... I'll listen to your ......" Ouyang Manshu nodded obediently.
"The eldest prince is back home!" Gray Ball said to the housekeeper at the door. Soon, someone rushed to deliver the letter. (To be continued.) )
