Chapter 23: Kyoto Reunion
Chapter 23: Kyoto Reunion
Luo Xiaotian, who had just entered the Hou Mansion, was bumped into by Zhang Ruyue before he arrived at the main hall. I saw him leading a horse with a girl on it. His face was incredulous, and his eyes widened. I must be thinking in my heart: where did the senior brother go behind our back to find a little girl back?
She walked forward quickly, looked at Chen An'an on horseback and asked, "Senior brother, where did this girl come from?" What's wrong with her? β
"It's okay, it's just that I've fallen asleep, it's been two hours, and I should be about to wake up." Luo Xiaotian replied.
"It won't be like that little white-eyed wolf, will it?" Zhang Ruyue thought of the young man who gave her a headache and said.
"How's he recovering?" Luo Xiaotian's eyes showed a hint of eagerness and asked her.
"He's alive now. Senior brother, don't worry about him, worry about me. Zhang Ruyue pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.
Luo Xiaotian smiled with a puzzled face and said, "Who provoked my little junior sister?" Wait for me to clean him up for you. β
Zhang Ruyue raised her head, frowned, and the light in her eyes gathered: "It's just that I was bullied by a rich and noble son, you have to help me get ahead." β
"Okay, senior brother promises you, let's settle the girl behind us first." Luo Xiaotian looked at Chen Anan on horseback and said.
"Yesβsenior brother, please come inside." Zhang Ruyue's expression instantly smiled, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she grinned.
The little junior sister has been playing and shopping in the city recently, how can she be bullied by some rich boy? Luo Xiaotian was very puzzled. Besides, her junior sister is not a person who causes trouble, so in this way, the other party must have done something that is difficult for her junior sister to accept, which will make her angry. However, for now, let's settle Chen An'an in the Hou Mansion first.
β¦β¦
In a luxurious mansion a few streets away from the Hou Mansion.
The family members are busy replacing the plaque on the door of the mansion. The plaque that originally had the words "Huailing Palace" written on it was removed and replaced with a plaque with the words "Bei'an Palace".
This is the residence of the King of Kitayasu in Kyoto Castle.
The new plaque has just been hung, and although the silk is old, it is still red and gorgeous. The servants took off the red silk and painted the front of the plaque with tung oil, and the words on it were also painted with gold paint.
The king of Bei'an walked to the gate of the palace with his hands behind his back. His eyebrows were tightly locked, and he stared at him for a long time. Then he took a deep breath and sighed softly and said to himself: "This house has never been back since I took off my armor and retreated. Seeing it again today, I feel a lot of emotion. Twenty years has only been a white horse, heyβ"
"Why is Daddy sighing? Is this king plaque not satisfied? At this time, Zhao Susu suddenly appeared behind the king of Bei'an.
King Bei'an glanced sideways at Zhao Susu and laughed: "Susu, a few days after you were born here, we moved away from here, and we didn't remember what this place looks like, right?" Your mother said that she liked Lingyang City, so our family moved there. If only she could come back and have a look. β
After saying this, King Bei'an blinked his eyes vigorously a few times, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
Seeing that his father was lamenting the old things, Zhao Susu also felt the same way. When she returned to the capital and saw everything in the house, she also missed her mother: "It turns out that my father misses my mother, although Su Su has not grown up here, she has a sense of intimacy since she entered the house." I touched the furniture my mother had bought, the garden she had planted, and the bed I slept in...... It is exactly the same as the home in Lingyang City, with traces left by his mother. β
King Bei'an waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, don't say it...... Let's go into the house. You go to see your aunt, she seems to be unwell. β
"Yes, Daddy. The daughter will go now, and the father will remember to take a nap to avoid another headache. β
King Bei'an laughed a few times. I have been fighting horses for half my life, and this little road is not a problem for me at all. just saw that her daughter was well-behaved and sensible, so she had to answer repeatedly: "Yes, yes." Daddy will go to rest on his own. β
According to her father's instructions, Zhao Susu came to visit her aunt's room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that my younger brother Zhao Yuanxi was also inside, talking to my aunt.
"Auntie, you have to help me figure out a way, this is my choice. There is only one store in the whole capital, and there is only one one. Zhao Yuanxi didn't know what was going on, and her aunt, who had been pestering her with headaches, was pacing back and forth beside her.
"Oops...... How can you be like a child, don't you just have a piece of clothing, and you can do this? "My aunt had a headache, and Zhao Yuanxi was noisy on the side, which was even more unbearable, and her hand kept pressing her temples.
"Yuanxi - don't you know that your aunt is not feeling well? Why bother her. Zhao Susu scolded her younger brother and walked towards her aunt. Auntie, Su Su helps you knead, have you ever taken medicine? β
"Su Su is here, my aunt is fine, but the journey is hard. I have already sent someone to decoction medicine, just rest and rest. The aunt looked at Zhao Susu who came in and said.
"Then it's good for the aunt to lie down, and Su Su will help you over." As he spoke, he picked up his aunt and walked towards the bedroom.
"Look at what happened to Yuanxi, go and help him deal with it. As long as he doesn't commit crimes, let him do it first. The aunt said to Zhao Susu as she walked. It seems that they are also treating their sisters and brothers as their own children, and they are still worried about Zhao Yuanxi at this time.
"Su Su knows, auntie, don't worry about it, let's go rest first." Zhao Susu said soothingly.
Hearing that the two of them were talking about themselves, and that they had committed crimes, Zhao Yuanxi immediately defended himself in the back: "I'm not a child, what did I do, I just helped my sister buy a piece of clothing." The garment had been brought back from the country of Bolona, all of Kyoto - this was the only one! β
It turned out that he helped his sister fall in love with a dress, but Zhao Susu was moved, and it was not good to scold him again.
"Is the merchant not selling it to you?" Zhao Susu waited for her aunt to lie on the bed and asked her younger brother.
"No, the merchant has called for someone to fetch his clothes, and I'll go and get them later." Zhao Yuanxi said.
"Then go and get it, why do you want to trouble your aunt?" Zhao Susu asked puzzled.
"If a brutal girl snatches this dress from me, I will naturally not let it."
"What kind of clothes did a man rob from a girl's house? Let her be, my sister just cares about Yuanxi's kindness. Zhao Susu comforted her younger brother and said.
"No, I've paid the deposit. If it weren't for my male status, I wouldn't have to trouble my aunt to help me deal with it. Zhao Yuanxi muttered aggrievedly.
Seeing that the two were arguing, the aunt persuaded her: "Yuan Xi is also well-intentioned, since he paid the deposit, go and get it back." Su Su, you accompany him, a man takes a girl's clothes, it is also immoral. β
"Yes, Su Su will accompany her brother as her aunt instructs." The aunt had already spoken, and Zhao Susu had to respect the elder's opinion and agree.
"Then let's go, sister." Zhao Yuanxi was excited and grinned.
"Auntie, you rest first, and we'll retreat."
Zhao Susu saluted her aunt, only to see that her eyes were closed, and she only nodded to herself. So he left the bedroom, walked up to his brother and said, "Lead the way." β
"Yesβsister."
Zhao Yuanxi happily jumped around like a rabbit and walked in front. Take your sister and walk towards the shops in the city.
Soon after, the two came to the door of a clothing store in the city. Zhao Yuanxi had the support of his sister and swaggered into the store.
When he came to the store, he shouted, "Shopkeeper, have you picked up your clothes?" β
When the shopkeeper saw him come in, he said with an embarrassed face: "This son, the deposit will be refunded to you, and I am afraid that this dress cannot be sold to you." β
Zhao Yuanxi was puzzled, and said with some annoyance: "Why? This is strange, obviously just agreed! β
"The girl took this garment and tried it in the back room. She was right, such a good garment should be sold to a woman with excellent style, otherwise the only one would be ruined. And it's also a gift from her brother, so I'll be a favor. The shopkeeper explained.
"I also bought this dress and gave it to my sister! What is your reasoning? Isn't my sister worthy of your ragged clothes? Zhao Yuanxi pointed to his sister behind him as he spoke, and said angrily to the store.
"This ...... Oh, Childe, you didn't say it before, how is this good! The shopkeeper glanced at Zhao Susu, and it turned out to be everyone's ladies - dignified and slim. So he said embarrassedly, "Why don't you wait for the girl in the back room to come out and discuss it with her." β
Zhao Susu saw that the store did not pay attention to honesty so much, so he helped his younger brother and said: "The clothes were ordered by my brother, how can you do business like this?" Don't talk about the rules at all? There's always a first-come, first-served approach. β
"Miss, you don't know. It was your brother and the girl who were arguing about the clothes in my shop. I didn't promise to sell them both, but I said I would go and get the clothes first. The boy took advantage of my inattention, and threw the money on the table and ran away. The shopkeeper explained helplessly.
Just as a few people were arguing, the curtain in the back room was lifted, and two people came out inside.
Seeing someone coming, Zhao Susu fixed his eyes. The eyebrows stretched, and he was delighted. Hurriedly walked forward, said with a rosy face: "Xiaotian ......"
It turned out that it was Luo Xiaotian and the little junior sister who came out of the back room.
Luo Xiaotian was even more pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect to meet my beloved girl in this store.
He walked up to Zhao Susu, shook her hand, and said with a smile: "Susu, when did you come to Kyoto?" β
Zhao Susu, who was still confused, only now remembered that there were others.
Hurriedly withdrew the hand he had pulled up, and was shy: "Grandma's birthday, I only arrived today." β
The two looked at each other, their eyes not taking off each other's faces for a long time.
The remaining Zhao Yuanxi and Zhang Ruyue were stunned and looked at the two of them dumbfounded.
When he came back to his senses, Zhao Yuanxi recognized Luo Xiaotian. So, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sister's clothes and hid behind her. And Luo Xiaotian also knew that he was Zhao Susu's younger brother. The two were immediately embarrassed.
The two girls were confused and confused about their behavior.
Unexpectedly, the farce of rushing to buy clothes has now become a reunion between Luo Xiaotian and Zhao Susu.
A few people left the clothing store.
The two of them walked in front, talking and laughing. Zhao Yuanxi followed behind depressedly, and Zhang Ruyue admired the clothes she bought, excited and forgetful.
