Sunlight passes through the branches, leaving a few dappled shadows on the ground.

When the wind blows, tiny crape myrtle petals fall on the body, reflecting the embroidery on the sleeves, which is really icing on the cake.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Under the shade of this cool breeze, Xiao Yu still felt a little sweaty. Fortunately, I wore a light-colored light smoke embroidered skirt today, which was relatively breathable.

The little maid next to her, Jiao Xing, fanned her very seriously, Yuzhu cut a plum and handed it over, and said, "Why don't you go to the county lord's mansion to live for a while, although it is a little farther, but it is close to Tianmu Lake, but it is much cooler than in the mansion." ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for Sister A to come." ”

Yuzhu nodded with a smile.

Xia Zhixin, who was wearing a light blue shirt, made tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, judging from the message I received a few days ago, calculate the time, Miss Xiao will arrive in these days." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and asked again, "You've already sent someone to pick it up, right?" ”

Xia Zhi replied: "It was arranged a few days earlier, and if there is news, I will tell the girl immediately, and the girl just has to rest assured." ”

At this time, a pretty maid with a combed beard came between the flowers and trees, but it was Banxia, holding a plate of melons and fruits in her hand.

Xiao Yu in the pavilion just happened to see it when he turned his head, and immediately said with a smile: "You asked you to send peaches to grandmother, why did you come back with such things." ”

Several of the maids laughed for a moment.

Banxia didn't care, smiled and put the fruit plate of white agate on the stone table, and said proudly: "You didn't go, but let me get a Qiaozong." The old lady was in a very good mood when she saw that the girl was so filial, and she rewarded me with a few golden melon seeds with kindness! ”

Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he arrived: "There is such a good thing!" I had known I would have snatched it. Maybe the old lady will reward me a few more when she sees that I have been by my side for a few years. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

After a while, Xiao Yu laughed out loud and said, "Okay, you are getting more and more bold, and you even bring your ancestors with you for jokes, this is not good." ”

Yuzhu hurriedly smiled in response.

At this time, Xiao Yu turned his head. Looking at the melons and fruits that Banxia brought back, he couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "Isn't this red watermelon?" ”

Banxia was stunned for a moment and followed Xiao Yu's gaze. Then he smiled and said, "I've never seen it either." It's just that I heard the old lady say that this is a tribute from the Western Regions, it seems to be called a cold melon, and there are a total of two in the house. It was still transported from the capital thousands of miles away. I don't know. It turns out that this melon has another name, and the girl is really well-informed. ”

Surprised and speechless for a while, Xiao Yu smiled ominously: "I may not have seen it for a long time, but I have eaten it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be called cold melon here, I only found out today, it turned out to be a tribute from the Western Regions, no wonder it is also called watermelon." ”

Several maids saw this melon for the first time. I only heard Xia Zhi ask curiously: "I don't know how big this watermelon is when it is not cut, and what it looks like?" ”

I saw that there was no pen and paper next to it. Xiao Yu stretched out his finger and gestured on the stone table and said, "It's so big, I can draw it for you to see when I'm free another day." ”

Xia Zhi didn't expect Xiao Yu to really take his words to heart, and he hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

At this time, a maid from outside walked over quickly, and after smiling and saluting, she said respectfully: "Girl, Wang'er from the outer courtyard has come to pass the word, Miss Xiao has already entered the city, and is coming to Xiao Mansion by carriage and horse, and someone in the house has already gone to greet him......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu stood up all of a sudden, hurriedly walked outside the pavilion, and remembered something: "Yuzhu put the watermelon into the ice kettle and put it down, and wait for Sister A to come and eat it together!" ”

After saying that, he picked up his skirt and trotted out.

A group of maids hurriedly caught up, and said hurriedly: "Girl, slow down, Miss Xiao and her party have just entered the city, and they haven't arrived so soon!" ”

Xiao Yu can't wait, after looking forward to it for a few months, Xiao Pei has finally arrived, can she not be in a hurry!

After Xiao Pei's accident before, Xiao Yu was worried that something would go wrong with her being frightened and hit like this, so she wanted to go back to Nanyue to stay by her side. However, the old lady has only just recovered from a serious illness here, and as a granddaughter and has not been filial piety for a few days, it is really not good to leave like this.

What's more, Xiao Yu is still a daughter to be married.

When she was in a dilemma, Ling Yan came up with a good idea: "Why don't you let someone bring Sister Xiao to Changzhou." Didn't you plan to come with her? ”

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Isn't it!

If it weren't for the old lady's affair, she was in a hurry when she came to Changzhou, Xiao Yu would have been ready to walk with Xiao Pei so that she could broaden her horizons. Now that something like this has happened, it should be good to change places and relax, but it will take a long time for people to pick them up and come back and forth......

However, if you rush back to Yuedi, it will also take time, so thinking about it, taking Xiao Pei to Changzhou is the best of both worlds, but I don't know what Xiao Pei means.

At this time, Ling Yi came over.

It turned out that he received a letter from the south, and after knowing what happened to Xiao Pei, he also guessed that Xiao Yu would be worried, and the two brothers and sisters had the same idea, and they both felt that if they could take Xiao Pei over, they would be very happy, so they had already sent a letter first and asked Bai Yu to make arrangements.

As for Li Zhen and his entourage who were locked up in the prison, as well as General Lian and others who had assassinated Xiao Yu and Ling Yan before, how to deal with them is really not as important as Xiao Pei's mood, so they will continue to be locked up first, and they will be dealt with after Ling Yi returns.

Anyway, people don't want to have a good life when they are locked up in prison.

It didn't take long for Ling Yi to receive a reply from the south, Xiao Pei agreed to come to Changzhou, and the military advisor Bai Yu arranged for Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun to escort them in person, but fortunately, there was a response on the way, and when the letter was sent, several people had already left for Changzhou.

As for the corn or something, because of the treasure house, Jingzhong sent someone over, and he didn't worry about it.

Hearing that Xiao Pei had already set off for him, Xiao Yu was also very happy, calculating the itinerary of several people every day, and asked the forces of the General's Mansion and the Xiao family to pay attention to take care of and escort, and after seeing people, he sent a letter to report that he was safe, for fear that Xiao Pei would encounter any danger on the road like she and Ling Yan had before.

That Qin Guangyu escaped, and he hasn't been caught yet, God knows if he will take the opportunity to commit murder.

For several months, Xiao Yu has been thinking about this matter, and now Xiao Pei has finally arrived safely.

And Xiao Yucheng said in the letter that the scenery along the way was very good, Xiao Pei's mood was relieved a lot, and it also made Xiao Yu feel at ease.

Xiao Yu trotted all the way to the side door.

Frightened, the servants and women next to him said in a loud voice: "County lord, slow down, watch your step." ”

"Why did the big girl get here?"

"The sun is so big, you should put an umbrella for the county lord!"

……

As he spoke, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him. Xiao Yu smiled and waved her hand to let them get up, and asked a few more words at the moment, and everyone knew that she was here to wait for someone.

Yuzhu listened and stepped forward to persuade: "Since Miss Xiao will arrive in a while, it's hot here, why don't you go back first?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I'll just wait here." ”

At this time, the subordinate who had already had a spirit set up a chair and invited Xiao Yu to take a seat, and someone went outside to look and ask Jiao Xing how many maids were still standing aside and playing fans.

About half an hour later, the people outside suddenly shouted, "I see the carriage in the house!" ”

Everyone said happily: "That should be Miss Xiao has arrived!" (To be continued......)
