The melodious sound of Ma Ling followed the vehicle forward, clanging, Xiao Jinxuan crouched in front of the open window, quietly looking at the scenery along the road outside the car.

After driving for more than half a month, it is now April, the grass is showing its head, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, and even the thick jacket skirt on the body has long been taken off and replaced with a brocade single coat.

Inside the carriage, Zhuxin and Baizhu were sorting out the books, and outside the carriage was Wen Xin driving the horses, Xiao Jinxuan came to Beijing this time except for the three of them, and the rest of the subordinates did not bring them.

After all, they are all natives of Yangzhou, who is really willing to leave their hometown and come to the capital with her. After asking them again and again, Xiao Jinxuan saw that they were indeed carefree, so they agreed to go together.

When the last book was also sorted, Bamboo Heart stretched out.

"Miss, that Meng Gongzi is really interesting, he drove for half a month, just to give you these books, this person is too dead-eyed."

When Bai Shu on the side heard this, he also covered his mouth and smiled.

"Zhuxin, didn't you hear that Meng Gongzi said that when we left Yangzhou, the books he was going to give to Miss had not been sorted out, so we couldn't give them to Miss when we left. But this Meng Gongzi is really sincere, and he actually chased Xiao Banyue's road with a book, which is really difficult for him. ”

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, she also felt funny when she talked about it, who would have thought that she had walked for more than half a month, and when she rested at the post station the day before yesterday, she could still see Meng Mian.

After asking, I found out that the other party actually came to chase her, in order to give her hundreds of books, all as a parting gift.

Not to mention Zhuxin and Baizhu, such a stubborn and sincere person, Xiao Jinxuan was also surprised when she saw it for the first time.

But anyway, Xiao Jinxuan read those books afterwards and understood why Meng Mian had to sort them out for so long.

These books sent by the other party are indeed rare books, most of them are unique products, even if you have money, you can't buy them, and this intention is the rarest.

While the three of them were talking, the sound of horses' hooves came from the window of the car, and then they saw the red spirit driving the horse to the front.

Then the other man bent down on the horse's back, his tone as cold and cold as ever.

"In half an hour, we will be able to enter the city, the prince said that he will send you to the Shuai Mansion first, if you have anything else, I can convey it to the prince now."

Xiao Jinxuan glanced at Chi Ling, smiled and said, "Thank you for me, your lord, and during this time, Miss Lao Chiling has bothered to protect me, and I should also say thank you to you." ”

Because she is a woman, it is inevitably inconvenient for the guards to protect, Zhou Xianrui transferred his shadow guard Chi Ling to Xiao Jinxuan, and after getting along for a long time, she also found that this Chi Ling was just cold-faced, in fact, she was a very responsible, and extremely strong woman, which was worthy of admiration.

Chi Ling, who was riding on the horse with a cold face, was stunned when she heard this, she originally looked straight in front of her eyes, but also turned her head to look at Xiao Jinxuan, seeing that the other party's eyes were full of sincerity, she coughed crampedly, nodded unnaturally, turned around and rode away quickly.

When Xiao Jinxuan saw her like this, she knew that Chi Ling was embarrassed, and sure enough, some people just looked difficult to get along with, but in fact they were extremely sincere.

And some people look amiable on the outside, but they can't believe it when they are scheming in their hearts.

Thinking so crankily in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan casually lowered the car curtain.

She is no longer in Yangzhou now, she can't do everything as she wants, seeing that she is about to enter the city, she naturally has to avoid suspicion and cover the windows and doors, so as not to leave the handle to say that her words and deeds are wrong and her behavior is frivolous.

And if these are in Yangzhou, it is naturally not a problem to level her local prestige and Xiao Mansion's identity. But now that I'm in Changping, everything has to start anew.

From now on, she is not the Miss Xiao Si who is admired everywhere, but just a powerless little maid who has returned from afar.

If she wants to do whatever she wants and what the people want in Yangzhou, she still has a long way to go, but Xiao Jinxuan believes that one day, she can definitely do it.

After entering the city, although there is a curtain through the car, the familiar scenery of the past can still be vaguely seen.

Changping, the place where she lived for ten years in her previous life, carries too many unbearable memories of Xiao Jinxuan.

Now that she is back, this time she will return all the humiliation and torture she has suffered. And those who dared to harm her, she would not let go of any of them!

The carriage came to a slow stop with a neighing sound. The car door was opened, Wen Xin jumped out of the carriage, and reached out to help Xiao Jinxuan down.

After getting off the horse, Xiao Jinxuan turned her head and said to Wen Xin: "You go now, you don't have to enter the mansion with me, those two shops must be dealt with, and the rest of the silver taels will also be saved, and the peripheral affairs will depend on you in the future." ”

After the **** left the Yang family's courtyard, it didn't take long for the other party to send her back the silver as it was, but this matter still reached Xiao Heng's ears, and the Yang family lost a lot of face.

So on the day of leaving, the Yang family didn't even come to see them off, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about these anymore, and left without any discomfort.

After Wen Xin left, Xiao Jinxuan raised her head, and saw the tall plaque with three words in the former Marshal's Mansion, which met her eyes.

The stone carved giant tiger on the left and right in front of the house shows the prominence and dignity of the master's identity.

In the Great Zhou, except for Xiao Shuai's Mansion, no one would stand in front of the door with a giant tiger stone beast.

This is the grace of Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou, which means that the Xiao family is the master of the Great Zhou Tigers, sheltering the Great Zhou and Yongchang for all generations.

So since then, the tiger is the symbol of the Xiao family, and the children of the Xiao family have gone into battle to kill the enemy, and the tiger beast totem will be embroidered on the armor, and this habit has never changed.

After Zhou Xianrui got off the horse, he also came to Xiao Jinxuan's side, and saw that she just looked at the door of the mansion and didn't speak, so he opened his mouth first.

"I've already sent someone in to pass the word, presumably the people from the Shuai Mansion will come out in a while, let's just wait in front of the door and don't go in yet."

Reborn and back, standing in front of the Shuai Mansion again, Xiao Jinxuan was inevitably a little distracted, but fortunately, Zhou Xianrui followed by her and mentioned everything, so that she would not lose her proportions.

The meaning of the other party, how she didn't know, she entered the mansion and was welcomed into the mansion are completely two meanings, thinking that she was a sedan chair in her previous life, and entered from the back door of the Shuai Mansion.

There were only two mothers-in-law who greeted her, just because she was so inconspicuous when she came, so none of the people in the house took her in their eyes, and even after more than ten days, the grandmother remembered that she was such a person, and called her to meet her.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan didn't understand, Zhou Xianrui was also pressing her when she came back, with his identity as a prince here, even if the Shuai Mansion didn't care about her as a concubine, he had to take care of the identity of King Rui and didn't dare to despise it.

Looking at Zhou Xianrui gratefully, she said with a smile: "Just returned to Jingshi, Your Highness thinks that there are many things to be busy with, and I have bothered you for Jinxuan." ”

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said steadily: "Fourth Miss has seen this, don't forget that we are confidants, and thanks to the help of Fourth Miss when we were in Yangzhou, we don't need to thank you when you raise your hand." ”

While the two were talking, the door of the Marshal's Mansion slowly opened, and then more than twenty maids, embracing two richly dressed women, walked out of it.

Xiao Jinxuan recognized at a glance that the person who came was Mrs. Zhao of the big room and Mrs. Qian of the third room.

As soon as the two of them left the house, the Qian family, who was wearing a begonia red treasure hexagram skirt and a beautiful hosta hairpin, smiled like a flower, and trotted a few steps ahead of the Zhao family to greet him.

When she got closer, she first saluted Zhou Xianrui, and then grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's hand, her face was full of closeness, and she hated to see each other.

Then I saw her eyes wide open, and looked around carefully at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time.

Then she smiled and said, "Your name is Jinxuan, I am your third aunt, and that is your eldest aunt." Sister-in-law, come and see, what a beautiful embryo, the fourth child is really lucky, this daughter is born like a flower. ”

Zhao was a middle-aged woman with a dignified demeanor and an unpretentious face, and when she saw Qian say this, she also walked over with a smile.

After glancing at Xiao Jinxuan for a few moments, she nodded and said: "It is worthy of being a child who grew up in a water town since childhood, this gentle and quiet temperament is likable when you look at it." ”

Then she came to King Rui's side and said gratefully: "Your Highness has bothered this way, the Xiao family is grateful, King Rui is invited quickly." ”

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he also politely returned the salute, this Zhao family is the wife of Xiao Ting, the eldest son of Marshal Xiao, not to mention the identity of General Xiao Ting Zhenyuan, even Zhao's mother is also quite powerful, his father is the governor of Zhejiang, and her brother is the governor of Jiannan.

Moreover, the Zhao family is carrying a three-grade fate, so even Zhou Xianrui is a little polite to him, and he does not dare to slack off.

Just when the Zhao family pulled Xiao Jinxuan and led Zhou Xianrui to enter the mansion, the Qian family on the side dragged Xiao Jinxuan away.

I saw that Qian glanced at Zhao and chuckled.

"Sister-in-law, you are too anxious, Your Highness is a distinguished guest brother and sister, so naturally I don't dare to stop it, but Jinxuan, this girl goes in like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was tightly held by the other party, glanced at Qian without a trace, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew that if she wanted to enter the house today, she was afraid that she would have to go through a lot of trouble.

You must know that according to the memory of the previous life, it is the Zhao family who is in charge of this handsome mansion on the surface, and she is also the one who goes out to socialize, but in fact, the person who is really in charge of the account room and all matters in this mansion is the Qian family of the third room.

Although Zhao is Mrs. Dafang, her temperament is too straight and not sweet, and she is not liked by the old lady in the house.

On the contrary, it is the Qian family of the third room, this third aunt is exquisite, not only can speak with her mouth but also live, and she is the most loved by the old lady.

Unfortunately, the third aunt's surname Qian and Qian Yingluo are from their own family, and Qian Yingluo's father, Huai'an Hou Qian Ming, is Qian's half-brother.

With this identity here, if the Qian family doesn't trouble herself, Xiao Jinxuan feels impossible, after all, the strength of the Qian family is there, and it is not difficult to find out about the affairs of Yangzhou.

So now, she is afraid that she has already become the public enemy of the Qian family, and King Rui and they dare not move if they have concerns. Taking her as a concubine has become the best choice, Qian is her third aunt, and she is even more handy when she starts, so this level can't be avoided today.

Seeing that the Qian family was now in full view, the Zhao family didn't take her seriously at all, and the person she wanted to lead into the mansion stopped her when the other party said that she would stop her, and she was extremely unhappy at the moment.

"Brother and sister, Jinxuan has just come back, and she naturally has to hurry into the house after a tiring journey, and after seeing the old lady, she can go down and rest, what do you mean by stopping like this."

Qian covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, not taking Zhao's words seriously, and glanced at Xiao Jinxuan deeply, and the fierce color on her face flashed.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know, I stopped Jinxuan for her good, don't you forget, this girl was very unlucky when she was born, and she was called a disaster star when she was in Yangzhou Xiaofu, if she is asked to see the old lady like this, once she collides, then this responsibility, sister-in-law, can you bear it?"
