Fortunately, there are not many people on the official road, and few can recognize this line. At most, they expressed surprise at the fact that the top of their carriage was almost piled up. After all, they look like they've robbed a jewelry store.

Peach Blossom Town is not far from the Imperial City, only a little more than an hour away.

Song Yiyao lifted the curtain and leaned on the window, feeling the autumn breeze blowing on his face, squinting comfortably.

The maple trees are planted on both sides of the official road, it is late autumn, the maple leaves flutter and spread, and the horse's hooves step on it, and the sound is crisp.

As the name suggests, Peach Blossom Town is home to many, many peach trees. The peach grove is patchy and endless. If it is spring, it will bloom into a sea of flowers, like the morning glow in the sky, beautiful.

And when the peach grove came to an end, it began to have populated dwellings.

"Li Gongzi is back!"

The villagers who occasionally saw him saw him and greeted him warmly.

Song Yiyao would also poke his head out and chat with them.

Li Mansion is in the most prosperous area in the middle of Peach Blossom Town, although it is not as good as the family compound in the imperial city, but it is also very magnificent. And more than that, it's a bit more pyrotechnic.

As early as when Li Jin arrived in the town, someone ran over to pass the word, and at this time, Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li were waiting at the door.

Li Yuan's outsiders are middle-aged, a little fat, the corners of the mouth and the corners of the eyes are obvious, and he is very kind at a glance.

Mrs. Li is also a symbolic beauty, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a gentle and capable temperament, and she is also a good hand at taking care of business.

When he arrived at the familiar territory, Li Jin let out a bit of nature, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Father! Mother! Let's see who Jin'er brought back! ”

In front of his parents, he smiled wantonly, how could he still be cautious on weekdays.

Song Yiyao lifted the curtain and jumped down, smoothed the corners of his robe with his hand, and saluted with a smile.

"Yikes! Tsubasa is also here! Come over and let Auntie take a look! Mrs. Li saw him. completely forgot that he was still shushing Li Jin just now.

Mrs. Li turned him over and looked at him twice, and said distressedly: "Look at the thinness!" Is it too hard to investigate the case? Is the stomach ache better? ”

The kindness from the elders is always difficult to refuse, Song Yiyao pinched his cheek and said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I've done it, I'm not thin, and I've gained some weight recently."

Song Yiyao, who didn't know that Tang Jingruo deliberately fed her, only thought that the little marquis had three meals a day very regularly, and even with her, she was not as busy as before and forgot to eat.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my aunt is still so beautiful! But my aunt still only has her brother in her heart! Don't ask me a word. ”

Ayayu deliberately got out of the carriage late and said angrily. She and Song Yiyao have always been known as brothers in Peach Blossom Town. Only Mrs. Li's family knew that she was actually a woman. Mrs. Li took it for granted that the two were not brothers, but sisters and brothers.

She let go of Song Yiyao, her smiling eyebrows and eyes were bent, and she waved her hand in surprise:

"Ah, you girl is finally willing to change it back, and my brother's vinegar is also eaten! Come over and let Auntie hug you! ”

Ayayou agreed, threw the golden ball to Tao Kai, and threw herself into Mrs. Li's arms.

Tao Kai caught the golden group, and the two guys stared at each other with big eyes. Tao Kai tentatively stretched out his hand, took it into his arms a little stiffly, and touched two handfuls of the little guy's soft and shiny hair, no wonder they all like to hold it, it's too comfortable!

Jin Tuan looked at it sadly and couldn't take care of its master, and the master No. 2.

Yes, the little marquis finally succeeded in buying the little golden dumplings. Let it be willing to think of itself as the master number two.

"Who is this son?" Li Yuanwai had already seen another person accompanying him. Look at it, there is majesty, which lord in the court is it?

"Under Tang Jingruo."

In front of the elders, Tang Jingruo respectfully only reported his name. However, it still frightened Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li. After all, the name Da Zhou is simply unknown to everyone.

Song Yiyao has known them for a long time, and he only treats them as his own children, so he never cares about those ranks. But General Mingyuan, the little marquis is not an ordinary person!

"It turned out to be the little marquis! The little marquis doesn't need to be polite, but he tortures me, a little member! ”

Li Yuanwai hurriedly dodged and returned the salute.

Tang Jingruo saw that Song Yiyao was very close to them, and he didn't dare to accept this gift: "I am friends with Master Li and Ah Yao, just by talking about their peers." ”

Haruka? Li Jin, who was standing quietly on the side, almost burst out in his heart when he heard this title. Who are you close to! Ah Yao is also called by you, Mr. never asked me to call her Ah Yao, wronged, wronged to death!

Seeing that both parties were uncomfortable, Song Yiyao hurriedly smiled and pulled Tang Jingruo to his side:

"Little Hou Ye and we are all colleagues and friends, and Uncle Li doesn't need to see outside."

Who's friends with him? Tang Jingruo and Li Jin thought with a tacit understanding in their hearts, and the two looked at each other with a smirk, and the sword light flashed in their eyes. Well, there's an intuition that might be called a rival in love.

Friends of the same generation, Li Yuanwai and Mrs. Li quickly accepted this cognition, what status did the little marquis have in their hearts before, that is the hero of the Great Zhou, powerful and terrifying, expedition to all directions, majestic and majestic.

But they forgot that the little marquis was just a young man of the same age as their children. is still a worrying child with his parents.

Because they understood this, the two elders were much more enthusiastic about Tang Jingruo, and they were no longer restrained.

Put down the gifts they brought, and after chatting for a while, Song Yiyao said that he wanted to go back to the small courtyard where he lived back then, and by the way, there were some gifts to give to the neighbors. Mrs. Li stopped pulling her. Tang Jingruo naturally followed.

Li Jin wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mrs. Li and pulled him into a small room.

"Jin'er, everyone says that the building near the water gets the moon first, after so many years, how can my mother look at it, you don't seem to have taken people down yet?"

Mrs. Li was straightforward, and there was a bit of her own son's incompetence in her tone.

Li Jin had long been accustomed to his mother's astonishing words, so he just blushed and said:

"Mother, sir, he is loose and resolute, and he can't be in a hurry."

Where did all the courage on weekdays go, Mrs. Li let out a long sigh and continued:

"You've been saying you're afraid to scare people away, and it's been a few years now? You do the math yourself, when you confessed, your mother didn't object, and if you liked it, you liked it. But you are cowering like this, when will Yao'er see your thoughts? ”

Li Jin lowered his head and argued: "I originally wanted to boil frogs in warm water, and after getting along for a long time, my husband will definitely be a little tempted by me." But after entering the officialdom, I couldn't see each other all day long. ”

"Mother ask one more question, have you tried it, what does Yao'er mean in her heart?"

Seeing Li Jin's expression, Mrs. Li understood everything. Earlier, there was a lot of noise, saying that the frog should be boiled in warm water. But now, the frog doesn't know if it's boiled or not, and there is one hiding in the turtle's shell.

The third household in the west of Taohua Town is where Song Yiyao lived back then. Three tiled houses and a courtyard, the yard is not big, flowers and plants are planted along the wall, and now there is no one to take care of the long, and it is even more unscrupulous.

I can't tell if it's poisonous or not, but in short, even ants don't dare to climb from the root of the wall. The yard is very clean, with rows of wooden shelves, which were once used by Ayayu to dry medicinal herbs, and the furnishings are neat and orderly.

Living on the side is Aunt Guo's family. Aunt Guo and Uncle Guo are also very good to them, and they will always call them over to eat through the low courtyard wall.

However, Ayayu has always worn men's clothes in the town, and now she has changed back to women's clothes on a whim, so she doesn't dare to come back with her.

sent the gifts to Mrs. Guo's house, and was pulled to chat for a while. Song Yiyao had time to return to his courtyard to introduce Tang Jingruo.

"This is where I lived with Ayayu. This is my room, this is Master's room, and this is Ayayu's room.

When I saw the haystack at the back of the yard, I picked her up there. She was covered in blood, and I almost thought she was dead. Later, it took half a year to regain that lively appearance. ”

"You took care of her for half a year?" Tang Jingruo wrinkled his eyebrows, obviously unhappy. Although he knew that the two were just friends, he couldn't help but be jealous.

Song Yiyao continued as if he hadn't seen it: "Of course, there is no one else in this courtyard except me, so Tao Kai will come every other time to deliver some things." And Master, I only come back once in three or four months. ”

Tang Jingruo's face was dark, and the vinegar was almost in his brain.

"Why don't you find another girl to take care of her!"

Song Yiyao was tentative, approached Tang Jingruo, exhaled like an orchid, and asked:

"Anyway, I don't like women, and it's not that she can't take care of herself, why do you care so much, little marquis?"

Tang Jingruo's body stiffened suddenly, her ears were red, and when she saw the banter in her eyes, she suddenly understood, and fought back:

"That's Ben Hou thinking too much, but Lord Song has thought about it, Ben Hou is also a man. Lord Song is like this, so he is not afraid of what Ben Hou thinks? ”

Song Yiyao originally wanted to see the shy and awkward little marquis, but he didn't think that he was being molested. She took a step back and muttered in her heart: You think too much.

"What did you say?" Tang Jingruo approached again, followed by crazy flowers and plants, all with teeth and claws, many with thorns, although it was late autumn, it did not hinder their growth at all.

But Song Yiyao didn't notice this, and his feet looked like he was about to push back again.

The thorny branches shimmered, as if they were ready for delicious blood.

"Be careful!" Tang Jingruo grabbed him with his long arms, grabbed him into his arms, and avoided the branches.

Song Yiyao was taken aback, and his whole mind was confused by the sudden smell of ebony. The hand grabbed the hem of his shirt in panic. The heart under the placket seemed to beat like hers, faster and faster, faster and faster.

It's like the drums of the three armies urging war, which makes people panic.

Time seemed to stand still, and neither of them moved.

It wasn't until a bird fluttered its wings that it brought the two back to their senses.

They quickly let go of each other, Tang Jingruo coughed, pretended that nothing happened, and pointed awkwardly and bluntly at the thorny grass with teeth and claws: "Don't you look at the road when you retreat!" ”

Didn't you pay attention, Song Yiyao hurriedly thanked him.

Tang Jingruo's temper immediately softened, looked around, and said:

"Benhou is your bodyguard, and it is only natural to protect you, but why do you want to live here?"

Is it only because of the name of this guard that he will always protect me? Song Yiyao thought about it for a while, his heart was confused, and replied:

"There are roads in all directions here, and it is far away from the imperial city, which is the most convenient way for my master to come back secretly. It's not good for me to travel with her. So they came up with a compromise. ”
