Xiao Xia and his party stayed in Wubao City for another two days, and on the morning of the third day, Tian Wusheng personally rode a horse to see them off.

Originally, it was said that it would only be sent ten miles of land, Tian Wusheng was a sincere and enthusiastic person, because of his dexterity, he repeatedly told him to send it farther, don't let people think that we are slacking, after all, there are more days in the future, and there is a sentence secretly: After all, you will have to rely on others to make money in the future.

Tian Wusheng really sent it again and again, and it was not until noon that the road to Jiangzhou was halfway through, and Tian Wusheng went back.

Looking at Tian Wusheng's back as he gradually walked away, Laifu smiled and said, "Childe, this Captain Tian is really a sincere person!" Are we really going to open a charcoal workshop with him? ”

"Of course, what's wrong?"

Laifu scratched his head, his face flushed slightly: "That...... Childe, let the little one do the errands in the future, right? ”

Tian Wusheng looked at him scrutinically, it was rare to see him so diligent, he usually asked him to run errands and he muttered reluctantly, what's wrong today?

Laifu was very embarrassed to laugh, Xiaoxia and Yu Xiangxiang heard it clearly, Yu Xiangxiang opened the curtain and sneered: "Laifu, you really know how to fake public and private!" ”

Laifu glanced back: "Miss Xiangxiang, don't talk nonsense, I'...... I'm running errands for my son. ”

"Come on, these days, I have seen you and that Zhiqiu eyebrows go back and forth, are you blind to me?"

Laifu's face turned even redder, and he couldn't speak, which made everyone laugh.

Xiao Xia watched from the sidelines, and was secretly happy when he saw this situation, at least in the future, the business of the Xue family and the Tian family was implemented, and he should complete an important thing.

Towards evening, the group came to a small town ten miles away from Jiangzhou City, and now that the city gate has been closed, it is better to rest here for one night. Ming'er entered the city early in the morning.

Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang were about to fall asleep after washing, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, Yu Xiangxiang shouted: "Who!" ”

"Miss Xiaoxia, Miss Xiangxiang, it's me!"

Yu Xiangxiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly flattered the clothes and went to open the door: "Xue Gongzi, please come in!" ”

Yu Xiangxiang led Xue Yongan to sit down outside. Natsu got dressed and went out. Xue Yongan saw that the two of them had gone to makeup, and stood up embarrassedly and gave his hand: "Come here so late, forgive me for being rude!" ”

Yu Xiangxiang pulled him down with a smile: "Xue Gongzi." There are no outsiders here, don't be so polite, sit down! ”

Yu Xiangxiang sat opposite Xue Yongan excitedly, and Xue Yongan looked at Xiao Xia. looks like he wants to say and stops.

"Xue Gongzi, if you have something, just say it!"

Xue Yongan hesitated for a moment. He looked up and said to Xiao Xia: "Do you have to go this time?" Miss Xiao Xia, should you think about it again? ”

Xiao Xia paused, looking at Xue Yongan's worried look, her heart was warm, and she really regarded Xue Yongan as her brother. Xiao Xia nodded seriously. Go back to the house and get a pen and paper to communicate.

Yu Xiangxiang glanced inside, turned around and said with a smile: "Master Xue, don't worry." With me and Xiao Xia, it will definitely be fine. I'll protect her. I grew up in the Nahou Mansion since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the top and bottom of the mansion, plus the relationship between my father and mother, how can those people in the mansion give me a little thin noodles, don't worry! ”

Xue Yongan turned his eyes to look at Yu Xiangxiang, every time he was so embarrassed that he couldn't look directly at Xiangxiang's undisguised enthusiasm, he coughed lightly: "That...... In the next step, thank you Miss Xiangxiang for Xiao Xia! ”

"Oh, Xiao Xia is my sister, why do you need Childe to thank you, even if Childe doesn't say it, I will take good care of her, don't worry! By the way, Childe, you said that Xiao Xia entered the mansion not to seek revenge against the Hou Ye's family, but to find something? ”

Xiao Xia came out of the house, yes, this statement was told to Xue Yongan in advance, Yu Xiangxiang didn't know how to read, Xiao Xia could only say it through Xue Yongan's mouth.

Xiao Xia walked to them and sat down, wrote a few words for Xue Yongan to see, Xue Yongan glanced at Xiao Xia meaningfully, and then said to Xiangxiang: "Xiao Xia said that it is his family's ancestral thing." ”

Yu Xiangxiang glanced back at Xiao Xia: "What ancestral thing in your family is worth your risk, is that thing more important than your life?" ”

Xiao Xia nodded affirmatively, indeed, that thing is life-saving, of course you can't tell her that she is a colorful bead, just use this excuse to be perfunctory.

Yu Xiangxiang thought for a while: "If it's just looking for something, it's naturally easier than revenge, hey, Xiao Xia, what kind of thing is your ancestral thing?" Let's hear it, and I'll help you inquire about it in the future! ”

Xiao Xia and Xue Yongan glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and gestured a ball shape with their hands.

"Is it the Pearl of the Night again?" After Yu Xiangxiang finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth and looked back at Xue Yongan, Xue Yongan's expression was calm: "Miss Xiangxiang, don't say that word casually, if it is listened to by someone with a heart, it will find trouble." ”

Yu Xiangxiang sneered, saying that she would not talk nonsense again, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Xue Gongzi, do you know it too?" ”

Xue Yongan was noncommittal, Yu Xiangxiang was unhappy, and turned her head to stare at Xiao Xia: "Okay, you stinky girl, Xue Gongzi is closer to you than me?" What else does Xue Gongzi know that I don't know? Say it all, or I want you to look good. ”

"Miss Xiangxiang, don't blame Miss Xiaoxia, you can't read, she can't say many things, so she can only sue me first, let me tell you, in fact, I don't know much."

Yu Xiangxiang's face was sneering, yes, illiteracy is her shortcoming, even if she can speak well, she can't read a single big character, even if she enters a big family, this level can't even be mixed with a first-class girl, even if Xue Gongzi promised to take himself into the Xue family in the future, she always feels that she is still a lot worse than Xiao Xia, which inevitably makes her a little jealous.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Xue Yongan said, "Miss Xiaoxia, since you insist, I don't want to say much." In this way, I will leave Laifu in Jiangzhou, and let him accompany you into the city tomorrow, and you can go to him at any time in the future, and he will help you. ”

Yu Xiangxiang said: "Childe, aren't you going into the city?" ”

"I won't go, there are a lot of people in Jiangzhou City who know me, I will walk with you, in case I am recognized, it will be troublesome, not to mention that there are important things in Changzhou waiting for me to go back and deal with."

"Well, then...... So when will I see Childe again? ”

"This ......" Xue Yongan glanced at Xiao Xia: "If you are in trouble and need me to deal with it personally, you can let Laifu pass the message, of course, if you can get things earlier." I'll pick you up myself. ”

"Really? Great, Childe's words count. ”

"Nature."

"Okay, son, when I help my sister get something, you ......" Yu Xiangxiang shyly and timidly flirted with Xue Yongan's eyebrows, and Xue Yongan coughed lightly in embarrassment:

"Miss Xiangxiang, don't worry, although I, Xue Yongan, am a businessman. But the most important credibility. Whatever I promised, I will do it. ”

Yu Xiangxiang glanced at him: "Xue Gongzi, don't talk so seriously, I seem to force you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's not too early, so I'll leave first! ”

"Xue Gongzi, sit down for a while!"

"No, you should rest sooner!"

Xue Yongan got up and walked out. Yu Xiangxiang chased after and sent it out, and it seemed that the sound was delivered to the door of the person's house.

Xiao Xia shook her head amusedly. This Yu Xiangxiang's bold temperament feels more like a modern person, but she is getting more and more degraded!

The next morning, when Xiao Xia and Yu Xiangxiang made a plan to go out to take the car, only Laifu was waiting for them. Xue Yongan had disappeared, and after asking, he learned that there was something wrong with the porcelain in the kiln in Changzhou. Xue Yongan urgently needed to go back to deal with it, so he rushed back to Changzhou overnight last night.

Rifle said so. Seeing that his expression was leisurely and calm without the slightest worry, although Xiao Xia didn't think he was lying, but things were definitely not strict, maybe Xue Yongan was chased by Yu Xiangxiang and had nothing to say, and it was not necessary to deliberately avoid it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xia glanced at Yu Xiangxiang with a smile in her eyes, but she only cared about Xue Yongan's condition and completely ignored herself, it seems that she likes Xue Yongan sincerely?

When the carriage walked to the gate of Jiangzhou, I saw the two familiar characters on the city wall that I had not seen for a long time, and remembered the wolf bèi when I left, I never thought that I would come back one day, let alone that I would come back with another person.

It is said that this is the place where I first settled in this world, just like the place where a baby was born when it was born, is this my hometown?

While Xiao Xia sighed, Yu Xiangxiang next to her also sighed and whispered: "I didn't expect that I would have a chance to come back in this life!" ”

Laifu glanced back at her and continued, "What?" Miss Xiangxiang is also from Jiangzhou? ”

"How not? Can't I hear the accent? ”

"It's kind of like it, but the accent of the capital is the majority."

Yu Xiangxiang glanced at him: "Stinky boy, that's because you don't know much!" ”

Then she turned back to Xiao Xia and said: "Sister, don't you know that when I left Jiangzhou City, I was tied up by my teeth and pouted, just in a black shed carriage, there was a little gap in the tarpaulin, and through that gap, I happened to see the two words on the city wall."

Although I don't know the words, I remember these two words, and I think I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to come back in my life! I didn't expect it, alas! ”

Yu Xiangxiang's mood Xiao Xia understood very well, she must have been discouraged and frightened at that time, it was really a matter of the world, life is so ups and downs, who will only encounter anything in the future?

Xiao Xia comfortingly held Yu Xiangxiang's hand, Yu Xiangxiang glanced back at her, pursed her lips and smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm very good, even if I don't escape, if I marry that bad old man according to my father's wishes, my life may not be easy now, maybe everyone is gone now!

Hmph, I Yu Xiangxiangfu has a big life, this catastrophe has escaped, I will have a lot of good days in the future, I will not cry and cry like a resentful woman to die and live, I want to live, and I have to live well, let those who laugh at me see, I Yu Xiangxiang is not as cheap as they think! ”

Yu Xiangxiang gave a speech arrogantly, not only Xiao Xia, but even Laifu admired her.

After the carriage entered the city, it was very lively, Yu Xiangxiang raised the curtain and looked at the street outside excitedly: "Wow, this shop is still open, it has been many years, it is exactly the same as before!" ”

"Hey, which bun is delicious, I used to come often."

"The clothes in this house are good, beautiful and cheap, and the shopkeeper is still a widow!"

Along the way, Yu Xiangxiang kept pointing and commenting on the roadside shops, attracting sideways from passers-by. At first, Xiao Xia leaned over with the car to see the excitement and look at the strange eyes of pedestrians, Xiao Xia couldn't stand it, so she shrank back and sat down honestly, so that Yu Xiangxiang could see enough.

"Hey, wait a minute, hey, the carriage stops!" Someone seemed to be calling them from behind, and Rifle looked back to see a teenager running after the carriage.

Laifu stopped the carriage and waited for the boy to catch up: "Boy, what are you doing?" ”

The young man panted and looked at Laifu, and said with a smiling face: "Big brother, is there a lady in the carriage?" ”

"Ma'am?" Laifu glanced back, and Yu Xiangxiang also opened the curtain and stretched out her head: "Stinky boy, I'm not married yet, what's my name?" Call me Miss. ”

The young man looked at Yu Xiangxiang with surprise, his eyes were unblinking, and he looked quite excited, being looked at like this by a little boy, Yu Xiangxiang was naturally happy, and she trimmed her hair proudly: "What, do you think your sister and I are good-looking?" ”

"No...... No, Madame, oh no, miss, may I ask if your surname is Yu? ”

Yu Xiangxiang paused slightly, stared at the young man up and down, thought about it carefully, and confirmed that he didn't know the child: "How do you know?" ”

The young man's eyes widened: "Your real surname is Yu?" ”

"What's wrong with the surname Yu?"

The young man was overjoyed, turned around and waved his hand behind the carriage and shouted, "Mother! Come here, this lady is really surnamed Yu! Come here! ”

Yu Xiangxiang stretched out her head to look back, and sure enough, she saw an old woman trotting over, originally she didn't mind, the woman was getting closer and closer, Yu Xiangxiang's face was getting worse and worse, and when the woman came closer, looking at Yu Xiangxiang's face, tears immediately came out:

"Yes...... Is it Xiangxiang? ”

"You...... Are you the eldest sister? ”

"Xiangxiang, it's really you!" The woman stretched out her hand, Yu Xiangxiang opened the curtain and jumped down, and grabbed the woman: "Sister! Is it really you? You...... How did you get old like this? ”

The woman's tears were blurred and choked so that she couldn't speak, the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and then hugged each other and suffered loudly, Xiao Xia also came out of the carriage, watching their relatives reunite, Xiao Xia was happy for her, I really didn't expect things to go so smoothly, I just met an acquaintance when I entered the city.

There was a carriage coming from behind, and he thought that Laifu was blocking the way, so Laifu beckoned Yu Xiangxiang and the woman to get in the car together, and waited until they got to the place and slowly talked about it. But the woman refused to do anything, and timidly waved her hand again and again, saying that she was too dirty, and she was afraid of soiling the carriage, so she just followed.

Hearing her say this, everyone noticed her dress, she was dressed in a white-washed cloth skirt, and there were patches at the elbows, but the patches were skillful, and the edges were carefully hidden, and they couldn't be seen if they didn't look closely, and although she had this bun on her head, she didn't have any jewelry, only wrapped in a flower cloth turban and fixed with a wooden hairpin.

According to age, Yu Xiangxiang's eldest sister is no more than thirty years old, but this woman has obvious wrinkles on her forehead and calluses on her hands, which is caused by long-term labor.

Yu Xiangxiang looked sad for a while: "Sister, you ...... How did you get it like this? (To be continued.) )
