Chapter 20: Descending the Mountain
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner."
An old slave walked in, Shangguan Jin looked at the ink painting on the paper, and didn't notice that someone came in, and didn't react until the old slave called for the second time.
"Fauber." Shangguan Jin called when he saw someone.
This old slave named Fu Bo is the steward of Shangguan Jin's mansion, and he has watched Shangguan Jin grow up since he was a child, and he can be regarded as half of Shangguan Jin's relatives, and Shangguan Jin also respects him very much.
"Your Highness, do you have a favorite girl?" Fauber glanced at the ink painting on the bookcase, and said in a relieved tone.
"It's not." Shangguan Jin's eyes flickered, and his narrow eyes drooped to hide his emotions.
Seeing Shangguan Jin like this, Fu Bo had a conclusion in his heart.
"Since Your Highness likes her, why don't you tell her what you want?"
Shangguan Jin suddenly remembered that he and Qin Miaomiao had originally been a fake marriage, a mutually beneficial relationship, and his heart couldn't help but sink when he thought of this.
"How could I like that stupid woman, rude and willful, always unreasonable......" As he spoke, Shangguan Jin fell silent when he saw Fu Bo's smiling and silent appearance.
"Your Highness, duplicity is not your character." Fu Bo shook his head and pointed to Shangguan Jin's chest, "Your Highness should be sincere to other girls, treat them with sincerity, the old slave believes that as long as Your Highness is willing to work hard, that girl will eventually see His Highness's goodness." ”
"Yes......" Shangguan Jin looked at the ink painting on the bookcase and fell into deep thought.
That stupid woman would also see how good others are to her?
……
"Less in charge! Brother Yamashita brought a letter for you! ”
Qin Miaomiao was boredly nibbling an apple with one hand, and whipping the scarecrow not far away with a whip in the other, when she heard Xiao Liang shouting in the village.
"My letter?" Qin Miaomiao stared at the small letterhead in Xiao Scale's hand with a surprised expression.
Since she crossed into this world, no one outside the cottage has sent her a letter except for the brothers in the cottage, and she doesn't remember anyone in the city who she knows, right......
Qin Miaomiao suddenly thought of someone, she immediately put away her whip and took the small letter in Xiao Scale's hand, and pulled out the letter paper inside.
As soon as she saw the content of the letter, Qin Miaomiao knew clearly who wrote the letter, her right eye jumped violently, and she couldn't wait to tear the letter apart with the person who wrote it.
She didn't forget that day when she was hit by a man, her neck hurt all day.
When she read all the contents of the letter, the fire in her heart suddenly dispersed as if it were cloudy and sunny.
"Yo, don't be in charge, my uncle invites you to Sucheng."
The sound of small scales swishing came from behind Qin Miaomiao, and Qin Miaomiao, who was oozing, had goosebumps.
"How dare you peek at my letters?" Qin Miao pretended to be angry and stared at Xiao Scale.
However, Xiao Yan did not restrain but became more and more bold: "Young master, it seems that my uncle misses you, so I invited you to Sucheng to meet and talk about your affection." ”
As soon as Xiao Liang's words fell, Qin Miaomiao's cheeks rose with a layer of redness at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"!" Qin Miaomiao turned around and walked towards her bamboo building.
The letter mainly wrote that the Shangyuan Festival was approaching, and Shangguan Jin invited Qin Miaomiao to go to Sucheng to play.
Qin Miaomiao has long heard the cottage brothers who have been to Sucheng say that the lanterns in Sucheng will sing and dance on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, and the acrobatic artists will enter the city to perform their skills to give people a look, and the snack stalls will fill the street, and all kinds of snacks will make people salivate, especially the Ling Crisp Cake, which is a must.
Qin Miaomiao looked at it and drooled unconsciously.
Go! Why not? Anyway, it was he Shangguan Jin who paid for it.
It just so happened that Qin Shan took his brothers to the mountains to rob darts and hunt today, Qin Miaomiao's travel was naturally unimpeded, she called Xiao Scale, arranged a donkey cart and pulled herself down the mountain.
I don't know how long it was, it was already night, Qin Miaomiao and Xiao Liang rushed into Sucheng at the last moment when the curfew closed the city gate.
Because it was getting late, the stalls and shops in Sucheng had already closed, there was no one in the market, and the lights were turned off in every household, and it was pitch black, which made Qin Miaomiao feel trembling.
"This dog man asked me to come to Sucheng, but I didn't see anyone else to pick him up, what kind of hospitality is this!" Qin Miaomiao's heart was angry, but there was nothing she could do.
"Young master, do you know which mansion my uncle lives in?"
Hearing Xiao Liang ask, Qin Miaomiao paused suddenly.
Where is Shangguan Jin's mansion? She doesn't know!
Just at this dilemma, a cold voice sounded from behind him, making Qin Miao tremble in fright.
"Miss Qin, I've been waiting here for a long time."
As soon as Qin Miaomiao turned her head, she saw a young man in black cloth armor holding a long sword, the young man had a pair of cold eyes, he was wearing a black mask under his eyes, and there was an aura that no one could approach from top to bottom.
"Are you...... That dog man's subordinate Mingyi? ”
Qin Miaomiao saw Ming Yi following Shangguan Jin several times on the mountain, and over time she got to know him, especially the aura on his body, which made her very familiar, which made Qin Miaomiao very curious about what had happened to this man.
When Ming Yi heard the words "dog man", his eyes darkened obviously, and then he said to Qin Miaomiao: "Miss Qin, Your Highness is afraid that you will not know the way when you enter Sucheng, so he specially asked me to wait for you here." ”
Qin Miaomiao muttered, even if he still knew something.
After Ming Yi brought Qin Miaomiao to Shangguan Jin's mansion, he saw that the entire mansion was brightly lit, as if he was waiting for her alone, which made Qin Miaomiao's heart a little touched.
"Don't be in charge, my uncle is really kind to you, I'm waiting for you so late." Xiao Liang said in Qin Miaomiao's ear with a grin.
"That's it?"
Although Qin Miaomiao's tone was very disdainful, her heart was like a deer colliding with her.
However, this state of mind disappeared without a trace in an instant in a familiar voice.
"Stupid woman, you're really here."
The smile that had just risen at the corner of Qin Miaomiao's mouth froze on her face.
The man in front of him was dressed in a white and yellow brocade robe, and the light of the lamp flickered, shining on his face a little clearer, with sharp edges and corners, and a smile on the corners of his lips.
Although this seemed to be a moving picture of a beautiful man in Qin Miaomiao's eyes, after he said that sentence, this feeling disappeared without a trace, and she really wanted to go up and grab this dog man by the collar and beat him hard.
"But since you're here, I'll let someone prepare a guest room for you." Shangguan Jin paused, looked at Qin Miaomiao, who was wearing a black skirt and her hair was flying in a bun, and then said: "I will send someone to send you a set of clothes tomorrow, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, you better dress up properly, don't go out and embarrass my face." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Jin turned around and went back to the room, leaving Qin Miaomiao alone and a few people messy in the wind.
