Xiaoxi's family of three came to Yanshan Mansion, and it was already the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, Xiao Yiran Xu was because of Xiaoxi's arrival, and he could tease Xiao Yuesheng every day, maybe he was going to go on a long trip, and the smiles on his face were getting more and more day by day. Xiao Yiran's changes, in the eyes of Xiao Guoliang and his wife, the two were very pleased.

The family passed the Dragon Boat Festival affectionately, on the eighth day of the fifth month, Xiao Yiran took Qingwen, Musk Yue Xiaoxi's mother and son, Xiao Qing drove the carriage, and after breakfast, the group went out of the house and walked along the street towards the south city gate. Due to the hot weather, Xiao Yiran did not lower the curtain. However, at this time, Xiao Yiran had already changed into men's clothes, wearing a blue robe, his hair was tied back with a blue cloth strip, and in order to hide his true face, his face was slightly painted with some black powder for drawing eyebrows. Even so, it still looks very handsome.

Walking not far from the inn where Lin Chen lived, Xiao Yiran just saw Lin Chen leading an entourage out of the inn from the car window. Xiao Yiran's carriage went south, while Lin Chen walked north. Xiao Yiran was stunned for a few breaths, afraid that Lin Chen would recognize him, although he was reluctant, he still turned his head slightly. The corner of his eye was still on Lin Chen. Lin Chen is wearing the official uniform of the canon today, and it seems that he should be going to the government office to submit the official certificate and documents.

Lin Chen also spotted the oncoming carriage, and recognized Xiao Qing who was driving at a glance, so he couldn't help but take a few steps and stepped forward to greet Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing naturally received the instructions of the old lady, and was also worried that Lin Chen would see the young lady in the car, so he stopped the carriage and took a few steps forward to catch up with Lin Chen who came over.

"Xiao Qing greets Lord Lin."

Although it was an old acquaintance, after all, Lin Chen was now an official, and Xiao Qing was the first to give Lin Chen a gift. Lin Chen hurriedly helped Xiao Qing and asked affectionately:

"When did Brother Xiao come to Yanshan Mansion?"

"Lord Huilin, I've been here for some time."

"Brother Xiao, where are you going?"

As he spoke, his eyes were focused on the carriage. Xiao Xi was a little nervous in her heart, although Qingwen and Musk Yue also changed into men's clothes, after all, the curtains were not pulled down, and now they were afraid that Lin Chen would be suspicious, so they walked out of the carriage with Xiao Yuesheng in their arms.

"Xiaoxi meets Lord Lin."

Xiaoxi's words are a little faint. She has always been worried about Lin Chen's marriage to be the captain of the horse shortly after the young lady's funeral, so when she saw Lin Chen, Xiaoxi didn't treat her very well.

"Sister Xiaoxi, this is the moonrise, right? It's all grown so big. ”

Xiao Xi saw that Lin Chen couldn't stop looking at the carriage, so he urged Xiao Qingdao:

"Madame asked us to go to Wutai Mountain to incense, or hurry up, I'm afraid we will miss the lodging tonight."

In fact, Xiaoxi didn't pay attention to what he said, Wutai Mountain is in Xinzhou, and he should go from the north gate of Yanshan City, but now he is going to the south gate. Fortunately, Lin Chen was not familiar with it, and he did not find the loopholes in Xiaoxi's story.

"Lord Lin, it's true that time is very tight, let's go to the official residence to kowtow to Lord Lin another day."

After speaking, Xiao Qing bowed to Lin Chen, turned around and came to the carriage, Xiao Xi also bent his knees slightly, and after saying goodbye to Lin Chen, he followed behind Xiao Qing, boarded the carriage, and deliberately sat at the wheel to block the door of the carriage. Lin Chen stood on the side of the road and saw Xiao Yiran's carriage driving out of the South City Gate, so he turned around and continued to walk towards the mansion.

As he walked, Lin Chen was puzzled in his heart. I always felt that the blue-clothed young man in the carriage was a little familiar. Then I thought of the scene when I went to Xiabang County with Xiao Yiran, Xiao Yiran was also a woman dressed as a man at that time, and Ran'er's sister was only nine years old at that time, and after dressing up as a man, she was a very handsome little boy. Lin Chen suddenly had a thought in his heart, how could he think that the figure of the person in the car today was so similar to Xiao Yiran at that time? Immediately, he laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head vigorously.

After Xiao Yiran started the carriage, he slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Chen, who was dressed in an official uniform on the street, with a thin figure and a haggard face, and the corners of his eyes gradually moistened. Qingwen's eyes were quick, lest the young lady shed tears, ruin the makeup on her face, and block her handkerchief in front of Xiao Yiran's eyes. By the time Xiao Yiran let go of Qingwen's hand, the carriage had already driven out of the city gate, and Lin Chen could no longer be seen.

"Brother Lin Chen, take care, this side is afraid that it will be the last side of our lives."

Xiao Yiran finally didn't hold back, lowered his head and silently shed tears.

"Miss, such a negative person, why do you still think about him?"

Xiao Xi saw Xiao Yiran crying gloomily and said indignantly.

"Don't blame Brother Lin Chen."

Xiao Yiran defended Lin Chen in a low voice.

"Why don't you blame him? If he had sued the emperor at the beginning, he had already hired a young lady, how could the emperor still decree marriage? ”

"I haven't been hired yet, if I really want to say that, wouldn't it be a crime of defrauding the king?"

"Even if you don't talk about this, Miss was just ...... at that time"

Xiaoxi wanted to say that the young lady had just died, but she couldn't hold back the words when she came to her mouth.

"It shouldn't be the eldest princess at that time."

Due to Xiaoxi's interruption, Xiao Yiran quickly stopped the sadness in her heart, and Qingwen saw the two white skins on Xiao Yiran's face that were washed out by tears, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. was seen by Xiaoxi, and gently slapped the back of her head with the palm of his hand, and scolded softly in his mouth:

"Don't you touch up Miss's makeup?!"

Qingwen held back a smile, and with the assistance of Musk Yue, she quickly covered the tears on Xiao Yiran's face with black powder. A few people made such a fuss, and Xiao Yiran's love gradually improved. Especially looking at the green and quiet vegetation on the roadside, I feel a lot more broad-minded. One of the advantages of summer in the north is that the sun can be unbearable, but as long as you hide in the shade of the trees, you will soon be cool. In particular, summers in the north are windy. Originally, due to the rapid movement of the carriage, there was a slight wind through the window, coupled with the existing wind, sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yiran couldn't feel the summer heat at all.

Before leaving, Xiao Yiran had already planned the route, along the official road of Yanshan Mansion to the south, went straight to Jizhou, passed through Jizhou, and went south along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, passing through Anyang, passing Xiangfan, and arriving at Hankou. After crossing the river, we arrived at the boundary of Suzhou Prefecture.

On this day, I left Yanshan City and walked along the official road, just stopping at noon to eat some food brought from the house, and it was not until dusk that I stayed in Liyang Town, a pre-planned accommodation. Because it was the eighth day of the fifth month, it was already the first moon in the evening, and it was already hanging in the eastern sky at dusk.

In the evening, Xiao Yiran was in the room of the inn and played with Xiao Yuesheng for a while. waited for Xiao Yuesheng to be sleepy, so Xiaoxi took Xiao Yuesheng back to rest. Then he sent Qingwen and Musk Moon away, and in the dead of night, he sat alone in the moonlight in front of the window, looking up at the crescent moon in the deep night sky, and letting his thoughts fly.
