Chapter 29: Returning Home
How can you be in a good mood?
As she got closer and closer to home, she was afraid, apprehensive, urgent, and a little lucky, but she was not happy.
Sheng Saburo was choked half to death, and said with a dry smile: "My cousin is really joking." β
But facing the girl's secluded eyes, Sheng Saburo couldn't laugh anymore.
Cousin Luo looked at ...... It seems to be really unhappy.
But why is this, shouldn't I be happy to be able to return to Beijing?
"That'...... Why is my cousin in a bad mood? β
Luo Sheng couldn't answer Sheng Saburo's question, and glanced ahead: "I want to play in Nanyang City for a few days." β
Nanyang City?
Sheng Saburo couldn't help frowning.
Although Nanyang City is the next resting place, there is no need to stay for a few days, right?
"Isn't my cousin in a hurry to go back to Beijing, why do you want to play in Nanyang City?" Sheng Saburo is straightforward and fast-talking, and asks if he has doubts.
"It's a little annoying to be in a hurry."
Sheng Saburo blinked: "Then my cousin has been resting in Nanyang City for a few days, isn't she in a good mood?" β
If it weren't for the pot fish that haunted him, would he care about his cousin's mood as a big man?
Definitely not!
Sheng Saburo felt a pang of sadness for himself.
Luo Sheng saw that Sheng Saburo was so obsessed with her mood, and after a little pondering, he understood the other party's thoughts, so he said: "I will play in Nanyang City for a few days, no matter whether I am in a good mood or not, I will cook a dish for my third cousin." β
She likes to exchange equally, and Sheng Saburo provides her with convenience, so she will return it with a delicious dish.
Sheng Saburo was overjoyed: "Then it's decided." In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse-"
Looking at Sheng Saburo's outstretched hand, Luo Sheng tugged at the corner of his lips and reached out to high-five him: "Naturally, I won't break my promise." β
The girl's soft fingertips were slightly cold, but Sheng Saburo moved his hand away like a fire.
Sheng Saburo, whose ears were red, raised his eyes to the sky.
I forgot that my cousin was a girl for a while, so my cousin didn't think he wanted to take advantage, right?
Looking at Luo Sheng lowering his eyes and drinking coarse tea calmly, Sheng Saburo had a strange thought: Ahem, maybe he was taken advantage of, it may not be ......
But he didn't mind.
The more Sheng Saburo thought about it, the redder the roots of his ears became.
Red Bean rolled her eyes.
This stupid big blushing ghost, this bit of beauty thinks it can make their girls excited?
"Let's go." Luo Sheng got up and walked towards the carriage.
Hongdou got into the carriage and sat next to Luo Sheng, noticing that her girl was becoming more and more silent.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Homesick." Luo Sheng closed his eyes, "Call me when you get to Nanyang City." β
After a good night's sleep, she had an answer anyway, instead of suffocating her all the way.
Silence returned to the carriage, accompanied by the dull creaking of wheels and the faint incense making people drowsy.
I don't know how long it took for the carriage to slow down, and the red bean probe looked out, and said happily: "Girl, Nanyang City has arrived!" β
Luo Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked out.
In front of her is a solemn and simple city, the city wall is mottled, the gatehouse is high and wide, and the three big characters of "Nanyang City" broke into her sight so abruptly.
At this moment, Luo Sheng burst into tears.
Nanyang City, Zhennan Wangfu, she finally went home.
Seeing Luo Sheng crying, Hongdou was a little panicked: "Girl, why are you crying?" β
Luo Sheng forced back his tears and said lightly: "It's just that the wind is blind." Third cousin, let's go into town. β
The group entered the city smoothly, and Luo Sheng got off the carriage and walked silently on the street.
Sheng Saburo walked beside Luo Sheng and looked around curiously: "The city is not small, but it is not lively at all. β
For a teenager who has never been far away, this somewhat lonely city is undoubtedly disappointing to him.
Luo Sheng walked forward without saying a word, and his mood was heavy every time he took a step.
Nanyang City is where the Zhennan Wangfu is located, and it has always been lively, noisy, and vibrant in her memory, not as she saw in front of her, obviously there are many people coming and going, but it is indescribably depressed.
It was as if the tone of the whole city was heavy.
This is not the Nanyang City she remembers.
Luo Sheng suddenly stopped, his eyes looking straight at somewhere.
Sheng Saburo glanced in that direction.
It was a vast mansion, the door was locked, and two stone lions stood silently in front of the door, and the dusty lion body silently told passers-by about the dilapidated state of the mansion.
Luo Sheng stared at the bluestone pavement that should have been bright in front of the door, but at this moment, it was dark red.
A pedestrian walked in front of Luo Sheng, and she suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
It was a young man, startled by Luo Sheng's sudden action, and was about to scold but crashed into the girl's beautiful and sad eyes.
The curse was swallowed by the young man.
"Where is this?" The girl asked softly.
The young man glanced at the dilapidated palace, and his face changed slightly: "This is the former Zhennan Palace, the little lady had better not approach such an obscure place." β
"Bad luck?"
"Isn't it bad luck, I heard the old people say that the former king of Zhennan committed a major crime of rebellion against the enemy country, and hundreds of people in the whole house were executed, and after so many years, the bluestone slab is still redββ"
There was a stabbing thud, and the sleeve of the young man's shirt was torn off.
The young man stared at the half-cut sleeve in the girl's hand and was dumbfounded: "It's not good for the little lady to be so anxious......"
Although this little lady is very beautiful, there seems to be a problem with her brain-
"Sister is naughty, don't worry about her." Seeing that the situation was not right, Sheng Saburo hurriedly stuffed a dime of silver into the young man's hand and sent the man away.
Luo Sheng still stood still, the young man's words echoing in his mind over and over again.
fornicated with the enemy country, plotted rebellion, and hundreds of people in the whole province were executed......
A fishy sweetness welled up in her throat, making her eyes blurry, and she began to lose sight of the mansion that was close at hand, let alone the dark red bluestone pavement.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Sheng didn't respond and walked straight to the carriage.
Seeing Luo Sheng's figure disappear at the door of the carriage, Sheng Saburo looked at Hongdou in confusion: "What's wrong with you girls?" β
It looks like he's in a very bad mood......
Hongdou thought for a while and said, "It's probably because the city is broken, the house is broken, and the people are ugly, so I'm too disappointed." β
Sheng Saburo was silent.
Except for what the little girl said, it seems that there is no more reasonable explanation.
So do they want to stay overnight in Nanyang City?
Looking at the sky, Sheng Saburo made a decision: That's it, it's not early, let's reluctantly stay.
When they heard about the best inn in the city, the group rushed over.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn, but Luo Sheng did not get out of the carriage for a long time.
Sheng Saburo looked at the red bean sitting outside the carriage with an inquiring gaze.
Red Bean rolled her eyes angrily.
Look at what she is doing, don't you see that she was kicked out of the girl to sit?
Sheng Saburo coughed through the curtain of the car: "Cousin, if you don't like it here, then let's continue to hurry." β
Why didn't it come out all of a sudden, is it so hard to guess what girls think?
I don't know how long later, the pale green curtain embroidered with bamboo patterns was lifted, and Luo Sheng bowed his head and got out of the carriage.
She walked up to Sheng Saburo, and her expression had regained her calm: "I like it very much, just stay." β
