Chapter 10: The Prince of Houmen (1)

Xue Chunyue slowly opened his eyes...... In the past, when I dreamed of her, my mood would become very bad, but for some reason, now my mind is stable, is it because of the appearance of that woman? Why did you think of her again...... Xue Chunyue laughed at himself and sank into the water again......

Liu Jing set up a banquet for his sister and Xue Chunyue, Xue Chunyue thought that the Liu brothers and sisters had offended the Luo'an nobles, and it would be inconvenient to take the land route again, so he wanted to invite the two of them to walk with him on the water route. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door of the private room, I saw people kneeling on the ground, many of whom were dignitaries in official uniforms.

When Liu Jing saw him come in, he stopped talking and told the group to retreat. Although Xue Chunyue knew that he was a noble man in Changxing, he didn't expect that his status was so high, and he actually scared the officials of the eastern capital Luo'an into kowtowing and asking for guilt, thinking that his worries were superfluous, so he arched his hand and said, "I didn't expect Brother Liu's identity to be so noble, I thought that the land route was not safe in the next book, and I wanted to invite Brother Liu to go with me and others on the waterway, but now it seems that I am too worried." ”

As soon as Liu Jing heard this, he hurriedly echoed, "Brother Xin has a good suggestion, if it is convenient, bring me and my sister-in-law, and return to Changxing as a heavy reward." ”

"The one in the red robe just now is Luo'an Mansion Yin, the dignified Mansion Yin is kowtowing to you like garlic, Brother Liu still sent me this boat?"

"Where is Brother Xin, it's just a few of Luo'an's old people who gave face, and invited some officials to appease him, how can there be any Lord Yin, that person is just a small official guarding the city gate, you admit that you are wrong. I think that although Luo'an is prosperous and lively, it is not suitable to stay for a long time. I heard that Brother Xin's destination is also Changxing, the capital of the country, and it would be best if we could bring our master and servant three. ”

"There is only one small boat below, and if you don't give up, you'll see you at the wharf west of the city tomorrow."

"Brother Xin is refreshing! Thank you very much! ”

From the eastern capital Luo'an into the Yellow River, all the way to the west, after passing the steep Sanmenxia soon arrived at Weishui, next to Weishui is the Guangtong Canal that leads directly to Changxing City. Sanmenxia is a place with turbulent water potential and steep terrain, and there is a saying that "three boats pass one of them" on the rivers and lakes, and those who can control this river are the top experts in shipping. Xue Chunyue's boat sailed westward, and it only took a few days to enter Tongguan and enter the city gate, and came to the political center of Daye and the capital of Changxing.

Xinyan and Zhiqing don't know each other, they have become good sisters in this journey, and they have talked a lot along the way.

Xue Chunyue smiled and said, "Xinyan, if you are destined to reunite, don't delay Liu Gongzi's return home." ”

"I don't know where Brother Xin lives? After returning home and seeing his parents, he went to the house to thank him. ”

"When you first arrive in your land, you haven't settled down yet, so let's go to a nearby inn for a few days."

"Since you haven't found a suitable place to live yet, it's better to settle down in the lower annex first, and then look for it slowly. Brother Xin didn't rush to excuse himself, and listened to a few words first. It is not difficult to find an ordinary place to live, but it is not easy to find a convenient and comfortable place. The land of the inn is mixed, Xin Gongzi is also a foreigner, and Luo'an's catastrophe is still vivid, so he can't help but guard against it. ”

Xue Chunyue has been a layman since he was twelve years old, he knows these things in his heart, and he will not cause resentment if the protagonist of Luo'an changes the protagonist, but it is not good for Liu Jing's kindness, so he euphemistically excused himself, "Don't bother Brother Liu, there are a few distant relatives in Beijing, and my father brought some Haizhou specialties under the trust, and told me to personally send them to the hands of your distant relatives." Luo'an's matter has delayed some steps, and it is not appropriate to delay it any longer. Brother Liu understood it and said goodbye. ”

"Xin Gongzi", seeing that he turned around to leave, Miss Liu called out to him, "Xin Gongzi's life-saving grace, the little woman can't repay it, I don't know how to repay it in the future, please don't cut off contact with my brother, if there is any difficulty in the future, my brother and I will help each other wholeheartedly." ”

"Exactly. This is the jade pendant below, if Brother Xin needs it, just go to the Xiying Villa in the east of the city to find me, and the people in the villa will inform you. ”

Seeing this scene, Zhiqing whispered to her heart, "I said that my young lady and your young master have a good fate, you see that they are reluctant." ”

Xinyan smiled and nodded, but soon remembered something, sighed and said, "It's just a pity...... My young master is already engaged......"

"Really? Is there such a coincidence? My young lady also has a marriage that can't be hung up......"

Zhiqing was about to talk to Xinyan, but Xue Chunyue had already said goodbye to the Liu brothers and sisters, and had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, farewell." Xue Chunyue glanced at Liu Jing's brother and sister again, and turned to leave.

Seeing them go away, Miss Liu said, "Brother Yi, can't we really tell the truth about our identities?" Liu Yi didn't even reveal the mansion, it seems that he planned to hide it to the end.

"If we are ordinary relatives and nobles, forget it, after all, my father is a Zhongshu Ling, a courtier, and a prince, so I am not afraid of scaring people when I say this identity? Besides, we have known each other for less than half a month, and it is not clear whether we are friends or foes, so it is better to leave some room if we are not in a hurry to confess everything. If there is a fate in the future, it is not too late to talk about it slowly. ”

"Hmm...... Then let's go back, don't let the prince and princess wait for a long time. Ye Qinyu wrapped his arms around Liu Yi and smiled at him.

Only in front of Liu Yi can she recklessly show her left hand, and where her little finger is, she has a delicate and small finger cover......

Chengnan Yi Shi Ju

"Wow...... The young master is really powerful, and he can find such a good house in three or two days. Xin Yan looked around and admired.

"That is, we have been traveling with the young master all these years, which time have we wronged you?"

"Xuecheng, it's not right for you to say that, we are subordinates, where to live is not to live, the key is not to wronged the young master! I'll go and help the young master clean up the room first, and I'll help you clean it up later. ”

Although Yishiju sparrows are small, there are three in and three out, there is no shortage of one in the front and back yards, and there is a garden on one side and a bungalow on the other side, which is not only enough for Xue Chunyue's master and servant to live, but also enough places for several guards and subordinates to accompany the ship. After Xinyan commanded everyone to clean up, he hired a few cooks and mothers, and now even the people who serve daily life are all together, and it really feels like home.

Xue Chunyue, who had calmed down, could finally drink tea in the hall with peace of mind, thinking about how to visit his second uncle Xue Chengming and his aunt to respect the princess. No matter what grievances his father has, he, a junior, should still visit him when he arrives in Changxing.

After a few more days, Xue Chunyue finally went out and went to the Xue Mansion of the Rite Department in the east of the city.

Haizhou's letter had already flown to Changxing, and Xue Chengming heard the spread outside the door, so he took his wife and two sons out to greet him.

Changxing and Haizhou are thousands of miles apart, and there are not many opportunities to see each other when they are young, coupled with some entanglements in their parents, the two families have had less contact since Ye Qinyu returned to Changxing, so Xue Chunyue and his cousin Xue Peiqi, who is only a few months younger than him, and his cousin Xue Xunqi, who is one year older than him, have been separated for many years.

Xue Peiqi, as the prince of Xincheng, was awarded the title of Zhengqipin Fengyilang in the year of the crown, although he was a loose official, but the name of the prince was enough to support his smooth career. Growing up in Hou Menshen, he naturally did not have Xue Chunyue, who had been weathered and young since he was a child, but he was as graceful and handsome as Xue Chunyue. Although Xue Xunqi is a concubine, he is also a noble son of Houmen, and he has been awarded the title of Eight Grades of Chengfenglang, who looks upright and dignified, downright and generous, and is also a young talent.

Seeing the appearance of the two brothers, Xue Chunyue couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder Ye Qinyu couldn't stop lingering on these two brothers, so the dragon and phoenix among people did have the capital to convince people.

Although Xue Chengming and his brother Xue Chenggui have always had a discord, he is Xue Chunyue's elder after all, and the elders have a little love for the juniors, and they are very happy to see him look like a talent, young and old, and they chatted with him a lot of Haizhou customs in the study, and they talked very happily. At dinner, it was quickly decided to visit King Jing's mansion in three days.

Xue Chunyue remembered his father's request to visit Ye Cizhun in his heart, and he also wanted to meet Prince Jing, Princess Jing, and the young lady of the Ye family as soon as possible, so that he could push the boat down the river and get to know Ye Cizhun, so he also readily accepted the date of the visit. Soon after the meal, Xue Chunyue said goodbye and went home.

Early the next morning, Xuecheng came in to report that the second young master of the second master's family was visiting.

Xue Chunyue was not surprised, he had already sensed Xue Peiyu's hostility at the dinner table last night, his arrival was very likely to become a big obstacle between him and Ye Qinyu, but who would have thought that he was the one who most wanted the two of them to make actual progress.

Xue Chunyue sneered, picked up the teacup, and waited for Xue Peiqi's Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"The second brother has entered the capital this time, I'm afraid it's not just to investigate business opportunities."

"Peiqi, after all the years, I almost can't recognize you, please take a seat."

Xue Peiqi sat down, and Xinyan stepped forward to serve tea.

"Are you...... The daughter of Uncle Quan's family, the name is called, the name is called ......"

"Heart words, Liu heart words. It's hard for the second master to remember me. ”

"Why don't you remember, your name was taken by my father. When I was a child, every time I went back to Haizhou to live, you didn't want to play with me, I joked with Uncle Quan that I would transfer you to Changxing to serve, you also cried and shouted that you didn't want to, and avoided me several times, for fear that I would take you away! I didn't expect it to be so big......"

"Second master, you haven't been home for many years. Come, try the Longjing in the area of Yuhang, our hometown of Haidong Road, specially brought. ”

"I'm the second master, and your young master is also the second master, and after the division of the mansion, this row is all messed up."

"Xinyan is the young master's personal maid, and he has always called him young master, so he won't be confused. Besides, if you want to distinguish it, I'll call the young master and the second master, and call you the fourth master. ”

"If you count the brothers of the third uncle's family, this ranking can't be counted like this, just call it casually, it's just a title, you can call me anything."

Xue Chunyue saw the two chatting familiarly, and then remembered that when he was a child, Uncle Quan's family was actually a descendant of the second uncle's family, the second uncle was an official in the capital Changxing, and Uncle Quan took care of the house for him, and later the two families were separated, and the second uncle moved his family to Changxing, and Uncle Quan was reluctant to leave Haizhou, so he transferred to Xue Chenggui's house.

"Peiqi, you didn't come here to catch up with your heart, did you?"

Xue Peiqi took a sip of tea and said, "I'm here to envy the second brother, all the good things are taken up by you." First Qinyu, then Xinyan, I can't reach any of them anyway. ”
