"You and that Ning Junwu, did you know each other before?" Xia Xiaodong asked a nonsense as the beginning of the conversation.

Since eating a meal together, every time they hit the tip, Li Darttou, Feng Shiqian and Xia Xiaodong have become a fixed trio.

"Of course." Feng Shiqian admitted it unequivocally, Ning Junwu came straight to him before, and it wouldn't work if he didn't admit it.

"But we're not really friends." It is still necessary to draw a clear line: "Ning Junwu is very famous in the capital. And he thinks very highly of himself at the bottom of his eyes, and he doesn't bother to deal with a guy like me who only has a hereditary vacant title. ”

"Hehe," Xia Xiaodong sneered: "Is there anything powerful about him?" Look down on this and look down on that. ”

Feng Shiqian laughed and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Xia Xiaodong's head and soothe this girl who was a little fried.

"He's got something special." Feng Shiqian finally retracted his hand that was stretched out halfway, and said matter-of-factly: "Not to mention anything else, just because of his upright and handsome appearance, there are countless ladies in the capital who admire him." The youngest daughter of Dou Shilang, the ministry, publicly declared that Ning Junwu would not marry! This is still recited as a good story. ”

"Straight and handsome?" Xia Xiaodong thought about it, and the image of Ning Junwu in his heart couldn't match this description, "What kind of ability is selling face." Anything else? ”

Hearing Xia Xiaodong's disapproving rebuttal, the smile on Feng Shiqian's face became brighter and brighter: "He has been walking errand in Liubu since he was sixteen years old, and he has done a few things to show his face, and even the emperor praised him. ”

"Oh, Jane is in the Emperor's Heart." Xia Xiaodong summed up, and then said: "I can't see that this person still slaps on the back." ”

Feng Shiqian and Li Daotou couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh secretly. Xindao, you said that the emperor is a horse, you know?

The three of them had more contact, and gradually there was more tacit understanding and less taboo avoidance, so they just spoke with confidence, and they didn't take Ning Junwu to heart. Nowadays, the more important thing is how to avoid the victims and reach the destination as much as possible.

The victims are pitiful, but if they are co-ordinated, they will probably become the ones to be pitied.

Fortunately, the direction of the convoy was different from the torrent of victims, and the area around Yanzhou and Suzhou was not a rich place, but closer to the border, so under the cautious command of Li Darttou, it was smooth to arrive in Yanzhou in seven or eight days.

Xia Xiaodong is in good condition, after all, he is only getting younger, and his body is still the same as before, and he has never stopped exercising. As for Lao Zhou's family, they are used to work, and they can hardly even see their exhaustion.

When the convoy arrived in Yanzhou, it was morning, which was also carefully arranged by Li Darttou, so that there would be enough time to deliver the goods, and then replenish some dry food, and then leave for the next day.

From Yanzhou to Suzhou, it is only half a day's journey. Therefore, Xia Xiaodong was ready to say goodbye, hoping to arrive in Suzhou on the same day.

As a parting gift, Li Darttou gave Xia Xiaodong a palm-sized brand. The sign is a copper circle, with a number of text patterns engraved on the yang, which looks like a large copper coin, but there is no hole in the middle.

"This is the nameplate of the Li family in Jinyuan," Li Darttou explained: "The Li family has more or less two points of face in the rivers and lakes. This trip has made up a lot for Miss Xia, and I hope it can help in the future. ”

The so-called subsidy is a lot, probably referring to the six hundred taels that Xia Xiaodong took out before.

Xia Xiaodong knew that Li Darttou took out the things of his own family instead of the Yunchang Dart Bureau, obviously wanting to make a good match. 'Two points of face', but I am afraid of more than two points.

Feng Shiqian also came over to say goodbye, but he looked a little bad, his face was green and his clothes were wrinkled, and he could be classified into the image of a down-and-out son.

"The people of Suzhou have a rough temperament, after you go back, you have to be careful, don't be bullied." Feng Shiqian said some Suzhou customs: "You have been away from home for so long, and now your father has renewed the strings, you must get along well, and don't fall into the reputation of disobedience." If it's hard for her to ,...... for you"

“……”

Why did you suddenly become the reincarnation of Tang Hate...... Xia Xiaodong stood quietly, listening to the man's warm and low voice in his ears, he didn't feel bored, he was a little funny in his heart, and a little sad. In the final analysis, Feng Shiqian, like his name, is indeed a humble gentleman, and if he says goodbye today, I don't know if the people he meets in the future will still have such a temperament.

"......" Feng Shiqian said as he spoke, suddenly stopped, and only looked at the girl who was about to leave in front of him.

For young girls, the navy blue jacket is too plain, and the fine linen primary color wide Luo skirt is convenient for getting on and off the bus during the journey. The breeze blew, and a strand of hair floated in front of the girl's bright eyes, causing people to be in a trance.

"I'm not engaged." Feng Shiqian suddenly said out of thin air.

"......" Xia Xiaodong's eyes widened slightly, this person looks like he should be over twenty years old, but he is not engaged?

"I'm not engaged either, well, I guess." Xia Xiaodong heard his own voice and said.

This...... It's not the right rhythm.

The young man opposite's whole face suddenly became bright and vivid, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth and a shining smile, and no one could misunderstand his joy.

Until the carriage gradually moved away, the faces of everyone who had been with him for more than ten days gradually blurred, and Xia Xiaodong still did not recover from his chagrin.

Misunderstand! It's misleading, okay! Xia Xiaodong repeatedly warned himself in his heart. Nowadays is not a modern era with open ideas and unscrupulous words and deeds, you must be cautious when you speak!

It's just that between the thoughts and turns, it seems to ...... A handsome guy with a gentle temperament is indeed a good choice.

The experience of the former Monkey King made Xia Xiaodong unable to calmly and objectively weigh the men around him. Personal hard indicators such as height, weight, and appearance, soft background indicators such as father, mother, and family background, as well as realistic comprehensive indicators such as cars, houses, and tickets, all have to be considered.

Xia Xiaodong sighed, pinched his eyebrows, left Feng Shiqian first, and instructed Ah Shuang: "Before entering Suzhou City later, you go down to have a look, if there is a travelogue introducing Suzhou, buy a copy and come back." Then I'll talk to your father, find someone to ask, let's find a decent inn to live in. ”

Ah Shuang answered, glanced at the girl again, and asked cautiously, "Does Miss plan to stay at home later?" ”

That's the difference between having rules and not having rules.

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl like Ah Shuang, between half-understanding everything, if there are no rules, I am afraid that she will already cry out: Hey, why do you want to buy a travelogue? Isn't the girl the eldest lady of the Xia family? Why didn't you come home first? Ma Dan, there are a lot of questions, does Miss want to explain to you as a maid?

If there are rules, the first thing is to implement them, enforce them, and enforce them. Say the important thing three times. No matter what you think in your heart, you must first remember to carry out what you are told. Even if there is a question to be asked, it has to be related to implementation.

"Well," Xia Xiaodong nodded, "We'll probably have to stay outside for a while." Maybe five or six days, not for long. You just let your dad arrange it for this day. ”
