Chu Yiyao felt Chu Yingzhu's body tremble in his arms, hugged him tighter quietly, scooped half a bowl of fish soup with a spoon, lowered his head and said softly, "Yingzhu, my aunt wants to eat, can you follow Bao Yi to drink soup there?" ”

Chu Yiyao and Qiao Cong'an are outsiders, so naturally they won't interject to say anything, but just hugged Chu Yingzhu, who was a little frightened, away, and Mrs. Qin disliked the food in the post station on the one hand, but also disliked the things she brought over, either too dry or too sweet.

Qin Manqiu's brows furrowed and he was about to have a seizure, but Mrs. Qin on the side opened her mouth and asked the maid serving on the side to scoop up the soup for Mrs. Qin to find her under the stairs, "Sister-in-law, drink some soup, this is not a mansion after all." ”

Mrs. Qin asked the maid to withdraw those who brought, and drank the fish soup and ate a small half bowl of rice.

Chu Yiyao took Chu Yingzhu to the carriage downstairs one step earlier, and when she came out, Chu Yingzhu put her arms around her neck and was still a little frightened, the children were especially afraid of these screams, Chu Yiyao touched his head and pointed to the flowers blooming on the side of the road outside the carriage, "Is it good-looking, let Bao Yi pick it for you, okay?" ”

Chu Yingzhu hugged her neck and shook his head, then changed his mind and wanted to go down by himself, Chu Yiyao couldn't hold it anymore, let him down, and followed him to the side of the road, Chu Yingzhu squatted on the □, poked the wild flower with his little hand, turned around and smiled at Chu Yiyao, "Auntie, if you don't pick it, you will die if you pick it, it's so good-looking." ”

"Okay, we won't pick it, but it's dirty, let's go back to the carriage and wait for your mother to come down, okay?" Chu Yiyao pulled him back to the carriage, Qin Manqiu walked out of the post station, Chu Yiyao clearly saw the anger on her face, and when she arrived at the carriage, Qin Manqiu took the halva from the maid behind her and coaxed Chu Yingzhu and said, "Yingzhu is good, was you frightened just now." ”

"It's okay now." Chu Yiyao saw that she couldn't stand it before coming down, Qin Manqiu picked up Chu Yingzhu and snorted, "When I came to my house, I heard that my mother said that she wanted to go to Guancheng and said that she wanted to come together, I was too troublesome, I didn't have to listen to many words for these two days, you see, how long has it been since I set off." ”

It's different to have a daughter who is a side concubine in the White Palace, not to mention that she has a son, even if she has no children, her waist is very straight, and there is anyone in Jinling who is as good as her daughter, that is, the imperial concubine from the Shen family, who has not had a child in the palace for so many years, and when the time comes, who will still miss the Shen family.

"I don't know where she got her superiority" Qin Manqiu now thinks of her daughter when she sees Mrs. Qin, and when she thinks of her daughter, she thinks of the embroidery sent to the White Palace, and she is not happy.

"What is superiority?" Chu Yingzhu in Qin Manqiu's arms suddenly said this, Qin Manqiu lowered his head and kissed him on the face, explaining, "Look, those who are obviously not good-looking, but they all say that they are good-looking, this is a sense of superiority." ”

Chu Yingzhu looked at Chu Yiyao as if she didn't understand, Chu Yiyao smiled and pushed her, "You will teach your children like this in the future?" ”

"Of course, I have to teach him to be self-aware first, otherwise he will be annoying." Qin Manqiu said that the head is the Tao.

Mrs. Qin and the others quickly came down, returned to the carriage, left the post station, and set off for Guancheng.

Guancheng is very small, in fact, it is a small city built around half of the lake, and the lake has been built with pavilions and pavilions, every June, when the lotus leaves are luxuriant and the lotus flowers bloom, looking at those pavilions and pavilions from afar is like being in a sea of flowers.

The house in Guancheng is very expensive, because the place is small, and it depends on whether it is close to the lake, each house is not big, but the price is more expensive than many big houses in Jinling.

The Qin family also has a house in Guancheng, some roads away from the lake, and very close to the Sanhuan Market in Guancheng, Chu Yiyao can feel the scene of people in the market on the carriage, and they will not be the only ones who come to this Guancheng.

"Sister Qiao, you and Ying Zhu live in this courtyard, and Yiyao lives with me for the past two days." Qin Manqiu took Chu Yiyao's arm and said to Qiao Cong'an, "The house is all cleaned up, if you don't have anything, you can send someone to say it, it's all your own family, you don't have to be polite." ”

Qiao Cong'an smiled and took the sleeping Chu Yingzhu in, Qin Manqiu pulled Chu Yiyao to her own yard first, and then took her outside for a walk, "I haven't been here for several years, let's go out for a walk first, and then go out together at night, it's time to get bored again." ”

The two of them didn't take the carriage, they took the maid out of the door and walked a few steps to the market, Qin Manqiu stayed at home for more than half a year, and he was busy preparing all kinds of female celebrities to be sent after getting married, who made her already have this good reputation.

"It's good that you didn't marry the Cheng family." After half of the shopping and entering a jewelry store, Qin Manqiu remembered what Chu Yiyao said about the hairpin, and suddenly spoke.

"Why did you talk about this all of a sudden?" Chu Yiyao looked at these jewelry, the characteristics of Guancheng were obvious, and many of them were carved into lotus flowers and inlaid on them.

"It's nothing, I just think the Cheng family is not suitable for you." Qin Manqiu sighed, "I thought it was good at first, but now that I think about it, I can make trouble like this before, and I don't think Cheng Shaopeng should be like a man." ”

"Well, I think Brother Jiting is pretty good." Chu Yiyao pretended to nod and commented very pertinently.

"Him?" Qin Manqiu snorted lightly, "What good is he." After saying that, he lowered his head.

Chu Yiyao smiled and said nothing, accompanied her to see everything, and only went back when it was a little dark, without much rest, they took the carriage to the restaurant by the lake to eat.

From the location of this restaurant, you can see the lake, and during the day, there are more people in the nearby restaurant, and most of them come to enjoy the flowers.

Chu Yiyao stood in front of the window and watched for a while, the lights were on in the attic in the lake not far away, and there were many lanterns hanging on the roadside under the restaurant, reflecting the lake very beautifully.

There was a cry from Mrs. Qin behind her, Chu Yiyao turned around, Mrs. Qin looked at her with a smile and beckoned her to come over.

"Such a well-behaved child." Mrs. Qin looked at Chu Yiyao and only said this, and mentioned a name to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin also smiled, "That's a good boy." ”

"I'm not very old, and I just match Yiyao." Mrs. Qin had an expression of 'my eyes must be right'.

When Chu Yiyao heard Zhang Ziling's three words, she understood what they were talking about, and originally thought that Mrs. Qin was the matchmaker who introduced her, but it turned out that in her previous life, it was Mrs. Qin who introduced her.

"Auntie, you talk, I'll go down and take a walk to eat." Chu Yiyao didn't have the interest to continue listening, and got up and smiled with Mrs. Qin.

"Let's go down together when the autumn comes."

"No, when Sister Qin comes, I'll tell her that I'll wait for her in the pavilion on the lake." After speaking, Chu Yiyao took Bao Yi and went down quickly.

There are also a lot of people by the lake at night, the aisles on the lake are all wooden planks, Chu Yiyao chose a more secluded one, there is a deep sound when walking on it, there is a lot of rain in spring, the lake water has risen a little higher, and there are some places where it can resonate with the lake water that is close to the board, Chu Yiyao listened to the slight sound of the water, and felt a lot more comfortable.

There is always a faint aroma lingering in the air around him, Chu Yiyao likes this smell, like a lotus flower from the lake, and like a natural mellow fragrance precipitated by the clear lake water, taking a deep breath, Chu Yiyao opened his mouth and spit out, put his hands on the guardrail, and looked up at the moon of the scimitar in the sky.

She didn't change the result of the marriage temple signing, but she changed the path that she should have in her previous life, but God shouldn't blame her, otherwise she shouldn't be allowed to keep all her memories and come back.

Squinting slightly, the picture of the bright moon in the line of sight suddenly became two, blurred and merged together, surrounded by the bright light, Chu Yiyao subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it, and lowered his head The microwave ripples in the water surface without lotus leaves and shattered the bright moon.

There was a sound of unhurried footsteps in his ears, Chu Yiyao turned his head to see that Shen Shixuan was dressed in white plain clothes, with one hand behind him, walking towards this side.

Suddenly, Chu Yiyao had a hint of illusion, as if he saw him coming out of the bright moon just now, dressed in white and fluttering, with a bright breeze.

"Miss Chu is so interested." Shen Shixuan stopped a few steps away from her and greeted her with a smile.

Chu Yiyao came back to her senses and lowered her head a little embarrassed, how could she stare at him like this for so long just now.

"When I met Miss Chu this time, I was blessed by this lotus flower again." It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, so Shen Shixuan didn't see the scarlet look on Chu Yiyao's face, but just looked at this piece of lotus bud flower and said.

"That's really fate with Shen Gongzi." Chu Yiyao replied with a smile, "Isn't Shen Gongzi also here to reward the lotus?" ”

Shen Shixuan shook his head, "Come to Guancheng to do something, you have to stay for a few days, I haven't congratulated Miss Chu yet, the seasoning brought from Datong is now used in all restaurants." ”

The last time we met in Jianshan Temple, it was Shen Shixuan who thanked Chu Yiyao, and now it was Chu Yiyao's turn to thank him, how could he feel a little subtle, maybe the illusion just now had not eased up, and Chu Yiyao was a little embarrassed to look at him.

"Does Miss Chu know that there are three uniques in Guancheng?" Shen Shixuan saw her discomfort, turned around and said with his hand on the handrail facing the lake.

"I only listen to Guancheng." Not facing Chu Yiyao a little more comfortable, he shook his head with a smile.

"Guancheng is a lotus, and there are two in Guancheng that will never be talked about." What Shen Shixuan said was quite mysterious, Chu Yiyao thought for a while and said, "If you have to say that Guancheng is a must, there is indeed another sculpture in Guancheng." ”

This time it was Shen Shixuan's turn to be surprised, Chu Yiyao stretched out his hand and pointed to the indistinct decoration on the roof corner of the attic, "If I'm not wrong, another unique thing in Shen Gongzi's mouth is the sculpture technique that is not passed on by the people of Guancheng." ”

"That's right." A flash of appreciation flashed in Shen Shixuan's eyes, "I didn't expect Miss Chu to know that this sculpture craft is an old craft in Guancheng, and now there are many masters who know how to do it, but there are not many masters who are good at it." "He came to Guancheng for this untold sculpture technique.

"I only heard my dad mention it when I was a kid." It's been too long, and Chu Yiyao didn't think about it for a while.

"In addition to this, there is a Jue Chu in Guancheng, and Miss Chu definitely doesn't know." Chu Yiyao looked back at him, amused by his sworn appearance, and was about to ask, when he saw Qin Manqiu walking towards this side from a distance.
