Before Tian Xiu could say the reason why she was looking for Shang Cheng, Chen Pu was already waving towards Zhuangzi.

Nanyang, who had heard the news from the villager, rushed to the village to greet him.

Like Chen Pu and Tian Xiu, Nanyang is also dressed as a scribe, with soft feet and black yarn and a round neck, a moon-white silk shirt, camel yellow plain trousers, a goose yellow belt with a rolling silver line around the waist, and a pair of half-new low-waisted cowhide soft boots on his feet. She greeted Chen Pu from a distance, led Jiu'er who ran over, approached, nodded to Tian Xiu first, and then greeted Shang Cheng with a "Uncle Ying is good lately", and then looked at Chen Pu and said: "What about the third brother?" Why didn't he come? ”

The little princess Jiu'er hurriedly said, "The third brother is here!" He's in the car! ”

The three sisters did not avoid people when they spoke, Tian Xiu was nothing, but Shang Cheng was confused and ignorant. He didn't remember what he said, Chen Huang, the king of Jinan, was the seventh son of Emperor Dongyuan and the elder brother of Nanyang, so who was the third brother she was talking about? He immediately understood that they were talking about Chen Can, the younger brother of a fellow mother, King Chen of Dingzhou. He hadn't seen the sixteenth prince yet, but he had only heard that the king of Dingzhou was an honest man who was dull and slow. Now that he heard that Chen Can was in the carriage, he was both puzzled and curious. He has said a lot of words while standing here, this king of Dingzhou is actually nesting in the car and not showing his head, he is not afraid of the heat in the carriage?

"Wood!" Nanyang knocked on the carriage and shouted. But the people in the car didn't answer. She raised her voice and said, "Wood, are you asleep?" ”

After a long time, a muffled voice in the car responded: "...... Sister. ”

"You come down," Nanyang said, "it's a big day today, it's hot in the carriage, why don't you even lift the curtains?" Hurry up and get out of the car to take a breath, and be careful not to get heat stroke! ”

“…… Oh. ”

Chen Can got out of the car, first made a disciple salute to Tian Xiu, who had served as a professor of Dacheng Palace, and called him "teacher", bowed to Nanyang, shouted "eldest sister", and then bent down towards Chen Pu, called "second sister", took Jiu'er's hand and said "little sister", and finally made a flat salute to Shang Chengzuo. He probably didn't know Shang Cheng's identity, so he didn't have a title, and Shang Cheng's appearance was extraordinary, he didn't dare to raise his head and look at it, so he quickly turned his face away, as if he didn't dare to look at Shang Cheng more.

Shang Cheng returned the salute with one head, and doubted it in his heart. It won't be a local festival today, why did Chen Pu's four sisters and brothers choose to reunite on this day? Taking advantage of Nanyang's defeat of Chen Can, he hurriedly asked Tian Xiu in a low voice: "Lord Tian, let me inquire about something." ”

"Huh?" Tian Xiu nodded slightly in response.

"Princess Changsha, they came over today, it can't be a coincidence, right?"

Tian Xiu turned her head and stared at him deeply, and asked in a low voice, "You don't know?" ”

Shang Cheng could hear that there was a hint of teasing in her words, and he really couldn't think of what kind of special day it was today, so he humbly asked: "I really don't know." What is going on one by one? ”

Tian Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Today is the birth period of Princess Nanyang. ”

What is the growth period of Nanyang? Nanyang's birthday, is it today?

Shang Cheng suddenly felt a little headache. This Nanyang is not sooner or later, why is it today's birthday? Chen Pu brought his younger brother and sister to attend Nanyang's birthday; Tian Xiu and the two sisters are cardamom friends and have a friendship with Jinse, and it is common for them to take the opportunity of official business to stop by and congratulate them. But he can't. The princess of the family celebrates her birthday, what kind of excitement does he have in a recuperating Shangzhu country? What's more, Nanyang's birthday can't be said to be a trivial matter, she is the third daughter of the Son of Heaven, and she is a great calligrapher in the world, and she is deeply loved by Emperor Dongyuan, who knows how many princes and princesses and distant relatives in the clan will come to congratulate her?

He immediately made up his mind, and when he gave a gift and said a few polite words, he immediately found an excuse and left!

Nanyang and Chen Pu were still talking to their younger brother.

I heard Chen Can say honestly: "...... This was all taught to me by my mother at home. She said that I can't speak, so don't say much when I see people, and just give gifts according to the distinction between the elders and the inner and outer relatives. I think that Sister Ping is a teacher, and she is the elder; You, the second sister, and the little sister, you are my sister and sister, of course you are close to people. Ying Bo is an official in the imperial court, and of course he is an outsider. ”

"Not about that!" Chen Pu interrupted him angrily, "You and Uncle Ying greeted each other, why didn't you wait for someone to return the salute and walked away?" What a rude thing you do! And why do you keep your eyes on your feet when you see the ceremony? Is there such a salute as you? ”

Chen Can trembled and defended: "He, he...... He's so ugly. I, I don't even dare to look at him......"

Shang Cheng listened to the words of the King of Dingzhou, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. His appearance, can it really be so scary? No way. This is obviously Chen Can's courage is too small! When you look at the little princess Jiu'er, you have never been afraid of yourself; This shows that his appearance is far less hideous than Chen Can said. Of course, it doesn't really look good. But he can't be blamed. In fact, he had a handsome time earlier, but unfortunately the photo was not brought, otherwise he would have to reason with the king of Dingzhou.

"Confidence has been struck." He grinned and muttered, and asked Tian Xiu, "You say, I really look so terrible?" ”

Tian Xiu didn't look back, and said with a stiff face: "Uncle Ying's description is clumsy, his words are bizarre, and his behavior is even more unusual, and he is occasionally misseen by the world, which is not surprising. ”

Shang Cheng squinted at her. This guy did it on purpose, right? Knowing that he couldn't understand classical Chinese, he deliberately turned out a few ancient words to stimulate him? But pondering the meaning of his words, it seems that he is praising him again. What did she mean by saying that? Are they glorifying him or belittling him?

"That's what Mr. Dingyi said." Tian Xiu said.

Shang Chengden was relieved. For a long time, this is Li Mu's original words that Tian Xiu is relaying. He just said, the cautious Tian Xiu has always held a grudge against him, and if he doesn't have the opportunity, he has to create an opportunity to ridicule him for a few words, how can he say good things for him?

At this time, Nanyang and Chen Pu had already "educated" the king of Dingzhou. The four sisters and brothers of the Chen family all came over. Shang Cheng said before Nanyang spoke: "Princess, someone gave me two small things a few days ago, and I wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha at that time, but I couldn't get out of the door due to the grounding, and I delayed it again and again. Today I'm going to Beijing to do some errands, and I'll bring them to you on the way......" As he spoke, he took out two brocade-wrapped boxes from the saddle side, and inside them were the gifts he had painstakingly selected.

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Nanyang's face.

"Uncle Ying, you didn't say that just now," Chen Pu ruthlessly exposed Shang Cheng's lies. "Didn't you say that you came here today to thank my sister?"

"That's it!" The little princess Jiu'er also stood up to testify to her second sister, "I heard it so clearly, Uncle Ying said it himself, and he came to thank him on purpose!" Sister Yiyiping, isn't that so? She also pulled Tian Xiu.

Tian Xiu didn't hesitate and nodded immediately.

Even the king of Dingzhou plucked up the courage and said: "I, I'm in the car, and I'm listening...... Listening to what Uncle Ying said...... "He lowered his head and hid in Chen Pu, still not daring to look at Shang Cheng."

Suddenly, everyone was accused on the spot, and Shang Chengdeng's face was so ashamed that his face was hot. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh dryly with the gift.

At the critical moment, Nanyang still has to treat him best. She came over and took the gift, and by the way, she helped him out.

Chen Pu took a large brocade box from her sister's hand, and muttered "What good gifts can you have from Shangzidan, don't teach people to deceive me with fakes, I'll take a look first", and he had already opened the box. Inside the box was a long framed scroll entitled "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water". The inside of the long scroll is not clear whether it is good or bad, but just the title is teaching people's eyes, and the strokes of the seven characters are open and the body is strange and longitudinal, which is exactly what she has been practicing for two years!

Her attainments in calligraphy are average, but her father likes calligraphy, and there is a sister of a great calligrapher in the world, and her vision is extraordinary. took a long scroll, unfolded it quietly with bated breath, glanced at it, and immediately raised his head and said to Shang Cheng:

"Send me!"
