Chapter 218: Returning Home
Cen Hongmian's proposal was agreed to by everyone, and everyone got on their horses, turned their horses' heads and left the royal hunting ground, and returned to the royal palace.
As for the spotted leopard that had just breathed, as well as the wild boar hunted by Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen, of course, there were entourages to get the royal palace together.
Counting up, Cen Hongmian, Jin Muchen, Cen Xiyan and other girls, this team of people, it has only been half a day since they entered the royal hunting ground.
When they went out from the gate of the royal hunting ground, the guards and soldiers at the gate couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw that they had such a proud receipt in just half a day, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and admiration.
But no one in this team enjoyed such a gaze much. Because there was almost an accident, everyone was still a little frightened, Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen were men, but the prey was not shot by them, and they almost didn't protect their sisters, of course, there is nothing to be proud of.
Although Cen Xiqin has the name of "hunting leopards", she knows in her heart that the spotted leopard did not die in her hands, which makes her very awkward all the time.
After Jin Fang was frightened, he didn't recover much.
As for Cen Xiyan, she actually didn't take this matter as a big deal at all, so she was as calm and calm as before.
As a result, everyone didn't talk much on the way back, and the atmosphere was not at all the elation that should be when the hunt was rich, but a little dull.
After returning to the Royal Palace, Cen Muchen and Cen Hongmian discussed it, and decided to escort Cen Xiyan, Cen Xiqin, and Jin Fang back to the city together.
The three girls also knew that it was time for them to go back, and they had only planned to return to the city this afternoon, but it was more than an hour earlier than expected, although this time they went to the hunting ground and were not very fun, but what happened before, they were not in the mood to have fun at the moment.
A few people had a simple lunch in the royal annex, and Jin Muchen left a message for Mo Junxuan and the others, and then set off to return to the city.
On the way back, of course, there was no leisurely and leisurely journey as it had been yesterday, and the people quickened their pace, and entered the city just as the sun was just setting in the west.
Almost all the powerful families of Sheng'an City are concentrated in the northeast of the city, and the distance between the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Law King Mansion is not too far, so everyone has a long way to go after entering the city, but the Law King Mansion is still closer.
At the fork in the road to be separated, Jin Fang suddenly stopped, bricked, and said to Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen who followed behind: "Third son Cen, brother, can you go away a little?" I'd like to say a few words to Qin'er and Xiyan. ”
The whispers of the daughter's family, their men naturally did not listen to them, Cen Hongmian and Jin Muchen smiled understandingly, and retreated a distance, and at the same time, the entourage guards who followed behind them also stood a little farther away.
Jin Fang glanced at Xiao Miao beside her, Xiao Miao also avoided it with interest, Yingxue and Xiao Yi also retreated together for a distance when they saw this.
There were only three of them left, and Jin Fang looked at Cen Xiyan and said in a very low voice, "Xiyan, thank you." ”
In fact, Jin Fang just wanted to say thank you to Cen Xiyan in person, Cen Xiqin stayed here, under the guise of covering people's ears and eyes.
Cen Xiyan smiled slightly at Jin Fang, "I accept your gratitude, but you don't have to pay special attention to this matter." ”
"I know." Jin Fang paused for a moment, and then barely made a sound, and said in a lip language: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret." ”
Cen Xiyan still smiled and didn't speak, just nodded slightly to Jin Fang, and looked at Jin Fang with a little more trust in his eyes.
Although Cen Xiyan has only known Jin Fang for two days, Cen Xiyan thinks that he still has some eyesight for seeing people, and from the point of view that Jin Fang is willing to let Cai Ruyu go, this is a very kind girl, and she is willing to try to trust her and become real friends with her.
Cen Xiqin next to him didn't speak, his mouth was slightly pouting, and he looked sullen and listless.
When Jin Fang saw Cen Xiqin like this, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said to her: "Qin'er, you too, since you have ...... Don't overthink it. ”
What is omitted after "since it has been ......", the three girls all understand in their hearts.
Cen Xiqin nodded, the corners of his mouth rose, a smile was pulled, and he said, "Don't worry...... It's fine if you're okay. ”
The communication between the three girls was not long, and it was soon over, and the brothers and sisters of the two families parted at the fork in the road.
As for the two large prey, the wild boar returned to the Luwang Mansion, and the spotted leopard was pulled back to the Cen family by the Cen family's guards.
After Cen Hongmian, Cen Xiyan, and Cen Xiqin returned to Cen Mansion, they first went back to their own yards.
Cen Xiyan washed up, changed his clothes, let Yingxue rest in the courtyard, and then took Jingshuang to the courtyard of the eldest lady Li to report safety.
The reason why Cen Xiyan did this is because, although Li is not her biological mother, but her mother-in-law, her identity is there, she has just returned to the house, and on some etiquette issues, she doesn't want to be caught with pigtails, and when she and Cen Xiqin left the house, they said that they would come back on the same day, but they were delayed outside for a day, even if someone had sent a letter, but now that the person has returned, it is better to go and say it in person, and there is always nothing wrong with being thoughtful about the etiquette.
At Li's place, Cen Xiyan met Cen Xiqin unexpectedly, and the two sisters sat down at Li's place, talked for a while, and then went to Cen Taijun's Furong Garden together.
Cen Hongmian happened to be here, and was talking with the old lady Cen Jun, at this time, the old lady had learned from Cen Hongmian's mouth that several girls had encountered fierce beasts in the hunting ground, Cen Xiqin shot the spotted leopard, and saved the little county lord of the Law Prince's Mansion, and the old lady had a fearful, happy and embarrassed expression on her face, which was very vivid.
Seeing Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin coming in, he hurriedly beckoned to them, "Come here, show grandmother, you two sisters, are you frightened?" ”
"Grandmother ......" Cen Xiqin walked two steps quickly, sat down next to Mrs. Cen, reached out to hug the old lady's arm, and rubbed her little face on the old lady's arm.
Close, coquettish, no different from the granddaughters and grandmothers of ordinary people, perhaps, among all the granddaughters of Old Lady Cen, only Cen Xiqin dared to be close to her without pretentiousness, the old lady's face suddenly showed a loving and distressed expression.
Cen Xiyan also sat down, but she was not as close as Cen Xiqin, and she would not be coquettish with Mrs. Cen like Cen Xiqin, but in her heart, she was actually a little envious, and such a scene made her involuntarily think of her relatives in another time and space, and she sighed secretly in her heart......
