Chu Junlan was afraid that Xiao Xu would be embarrassed, and the Shangguan in the prince's army was not friendly to Xiao Xu, and he couldn't ask for leave to go back to the palace, but this time he wanted to accompany her to go far away, where would Shangguan agree?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xu stayed at home the next day.

When asked why, Xiao Xu just laughed.

Chu Junlan snorted and pinched Xiao Xu's cheek: "What, now Xuxu and I have a secret?" ”

When she said the word "Xuxu", her voice was so soft that it made people numb, Xiao Xu couldn't resist it, and her face was red and her heart beat every time she listened to it, so she could only rout.

What's more, he really has a secret.

"I'm going to tell the itinerary, it's about half a month's drive from Anping Mansion, and the state and county offices along the way should also be informed in advance."

If it was just Chu Junlan and Chu Huating returning to their hometown, they would only take the guards with them. But Xiao Xu planned to go along, so the honor guard could not be simple, and it would be more convenient for all localities to maintain the safety of the place, so as not to cause trouble.

Chu Junlan smiled: "It seems that you plan to let me be beautiful once." ”

Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows, but said, "At the Chu family's place, I will also order someone to send a letter and let them prepare to greet them." ”

With Xiao Xu intervening, Chu Junlan didn't need to worry about it at all, he just went back to the Maoguo Mansion to talk to the Xu family and the old lady in the past two days, explained the preparations for a trip back to his hometown, and then went to the Chu Mansion in Shichahai to agree on the itinerary with Chu Huating.

Chu Huating wants to travel, so he naturally has to take leave with his master, and he also has to prepare in advance.

Xiang Yixin carefully packed his bags for Chu Huating, but he didn't plan to go: "Although I am different from before now, and my voice has changed, I still have to be cautious in the end, I can rest assured that you go out with your sister and brother-in-law." ”

When Chu Huating looked at Xiang Yixin, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he said reluctantly: "It's just that I don't worry about you staying at home." ”

"What do I have to worry about here?" Xiang Yixin said with a smile, "I'm a female streamer, and there is no danger if I don't go out of the door on weekdays, so you just have to rest assured." ”

If they went elsewhere, Chu Huating would have taken Xiang Yixin a long time ago, but this time they were going to see Chu Cailiang to ask about the events of the year, and they were afraid that people would find out that Xiang Yixin was Lu Xiangxiang, and then they would cause trouble, which would very likely affect Chu Huating's career, so they had to give up.

When the group left the capital, they were low-key, but when they left the capital and passed by, Xiao Xu put on the honor guard of the prince and the prince, and walked all the way with great fanfare.

At this time, the spring scenery is just right, and they are not in a hurry to go, but to travel in the mountains and rivers, passing by larger towns Xiao Xu will deliberately stop for a day or two, and take Chu Junlan around to take a look, Chu Junlan was in the mood for her mother's affairs, and she was not in the mood, but Xiao Xu arranged her like this, but she was appreciative, and her mood was naturally a lot happier.

They must have lived together when they stayed overnight, but Chu Junlan couldn't understand why Xiao Xu had been affectionate and polite to her, she could feel that Xiao Xu had changed a lot from before, and even kissed no more, let alone Yuanfang, but it couldn't be said that he had changed his mind, because he was still very good to her.

Just when Chu Junlan suppressed his doubts and relaxed with Xiao Xu, in Chujia Village, Anping Mansion, the mood of the Chu family was not very good.

"That evil obstacle, climb the high branches and live by yourself, forget it, and you won't get along with each other in the future, so as not to be an eyesore, why do you want to come to me to shake your majesty!" Chu Cailiang threw the letter on the ground and paced back and forth with his hands in his hands.

The old lady also scolded: "She is not our girl anymore, she wants to come to our house, and she has to make the silver money come to Zhang Luo to greet her, our family is now counting on so many acres of land, where is the silver to greet her?" ”

"That is, the eldest brother is a scholar, although he doesn't know the crops, he should know that life is difficult. There are so many brothers and sisters in the family waiting to start a family, and the money has to be paid by the princess, and now that it is coming out like this, I don't want to use the money in the princess to welcome the princess. The second aunt's voice was sharp.

Chu Cailiang was half angry to death, and it was not good to quarrel with a female streamer.

He is now a phoenix with lost hair and is not as good as a chicken, since he fled back to the countryside with his concubine and children, he has been angry all day long, and he has to listen to some gossip when he has nothing to do.

Now that he heard his mother and younger siblings say this, Chu Cailiang couldn't hold it on his face, and said with a stiff neck: "You want to fork it, although the emperor's intention is there, but Chu Junlan is my seed in the end, and she came back to see me for the sake of filial piety." Although our family welcomes us with some silver, they will not lose our family. Don't say anything else, and Prince Gong's son climbed into relatives, our family also has a little more face in the middle, that is, brothers and sisters talk about marriage, isn't there also an extra layer to say? ”

The old lady's eyes lit up: "When you say this, it seems to be the same reason." ”

The second aunt also smiled and said: "Uncle, don't be angry, I'm such a straightforward person, since that's the case, let's start to prepare." ”

For the greater benefit in the future, the Chu family also began to open up.

Chu Junlan followed Xiao Xu's guard of honor and entered Anping Mansion all the way, and saw the local prefect come out to greet him, the prefect's surname is Zhou, about half a hundred years old, thin and thin, and he is very kind.

After a warm welcome, he personally sent Xiao Xu and his entourage to the county seat.

When Liu Qi, the local commander, learned the news, he immediately took the county and the master out to greet him.

"As soon as someone informed him, he said that Prince Gong and his entourage had arrived in the county seat, and they were destined to prepare with the Chu family."

"Let's go." Soap Li immediately saluted and went to report the news as coquettishly.

The Chu family originally thought that it would be enough to clean the house, but who knew that the prince would put on such a big battle, and the prefect, the county and the old people in the middle of the house all went to greet it in person, and the Chu family, as the main owner of the reception, naturally could not be lazy.

The blind date neighbors were very envious when they saw that the Chu family had ushered in such a distinguished guest.

Although Lao Taijun, Chu Cailiang, Chu Caijun and others were impatient, they were also glorious in the end, and the girls of the Chu family and the Chu family came with their sons-in-law when they heard the news, and even the fiancé's family of the girl who had not left the pavilion was counted, and there was a long queue on both sides of the road.

At first, the neighbors were still talking about it, and they were all praising the old lady for being blessed.

But with the arrival of the prince's guard of honor accompanied by the carriage of the prefect and the prefect, everyone lost the courage to discuss.

Ordinary people, where have they seen such a luxurious car? The neatly dressed jackets in the back, each tall should be the palace guards, right?

The carriage slowly stopped, and Zhou Zhifu and Liu Zhixian politely greeted the most luxurious Zhu Lunliusu carriage.

The first to get off the car was Xiao Xu, who was wearing a silver-white feather satin embroidered cloud scroll pattern Shizi regular clothes and a long jade body. The one who got out of the car next was Chu Junlan, who was wearing a jacket with arrow sleeves of the same color and a red eight-panel skirt.

As soon as the two got out of the car, Zhou Zhifu and Liu Zhixian gave their hands first.

The elders of the lieutenant and the middle of the lieutenant took the lead in saluting, and the Chu family naturally did not dare to make an exception. Lao Taijun, Chu Cailiang and others are now white, so they can only follow the villagers to kneel on the ground.
