Koharu was said to be in her heart, and her little face turned red. "You're talking nonsense, why is it just for my sake?"

"Doesn't the eldest sister like Uncle Zisheng? I know. ”

Koharu sighed in frustration, lay down and looked at the curtain on the top of the bed in distraction, muttering to himself.

"I don't deserve him."

"Eldest sister, your uncle is just right. Where is it not worthy? Our family has more and more land now, and the business will get bigger and bigger, you will be a rich lady in the future, and the eldest sister's embroidery skills are so good, and she is literate and knowledgeable, he Shen Zisheng is just a poor talent. ”

"Really? The young lady next to him is so beautiful, at first glance, she is a young lady of everyone, I ......"

Xiao Xia sneered. "The eldest sister is talking about Song Baiyi! Don't worry, Uncle Zisheng doesn't like her. ”

The two sisters chatted for almost a night, and it was almost dawn before they closed their eyes, and the sisterhood seemed to be a lot stronger.

The next day, Xiao Xia obediently stayed in the inn to take care of Xiao Si, Xiao Chun must also stay, Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes, glanced at her father and then at her mother, and finally pouted.

"I don't want to be a little candle, my father and mother have a good time, don't forget to bring me a gift back."

"What little candle?" Shen Zhong didn't understand Xiaoqiu's words, so he asked curiously.

"This is what the second sister taught me, and I don't know!" As he spoke, he raised his little head and looked at Xiao Xia, looking like he was asking for advice.

How could Xiao Xia say, and quickly sent his father and mother away.

Let Shen Zhong and his wife go out alone, how can Xiao Xia rest assured. The last time she came to Shaoyang City and was assassinated, this time she came with someone and has been secretly protecting Xiao Xia's family.

Sure enough, as Xiao Xia expected, Shen Zhong and his wife did not have a smooth day, the carriage was disturbed twice, they met thieves twice, and they were hit by a reckless man named Hanako.

When Shen Zhong returned to the inn with Xiao Wang, he called the three sisters to him, and repeatedly told him that this Shaoyang City was too chaotic and dangerous, so it was better for the girls to go out less.

Xiao Xia's secret guards are all trained by Fengyun Villa itself, and they are experienced in the rivers and lakes and are completely reliable. After listening to the secret guard's advice, Xiao Xia frowned, this Song Baiyi is really a flawed and unscrupulous person, and he actually sent someone to murder his father. Xiao Xia knew what her purpose was with her toes, wasn't it just to make them not see Shen Zisheng tomorrow! She just didn't let her get her way.

Xiao Xia made full preparations, and the next day, before dawn, he took the eldest sister and the third sister to Hongshan Academy, and directly picked up Shen Zisheng, so that Song Baiyi, who planned to have a chance encounter with Shen Zisheng, pounced.

and threw Song Baiyi's cup at home for a day.

Shen Zhong also deliberately found time to see Shen Wu, but fortunately, Shen Wu had returned to the Changfeng Martial Arts Hall safely, and he didn't mention it to Shen Zhong about his dart. But when Shen Zhong saw Shen Wu come back, there was a smile in his eyes, and he praised Shen Wu for changing, not only did he grow a lot taller, but he also became a lot more sensible. I also sighed that if the eldest brother knew, he would be happy.

Xiao Xia pretended that she didn't hear it.

The family lived in Shaoyang City for five days, and Shen Zhong had long been thinking about his home, so he walked back. When he came there were two wagons, and when he returned, they became three carriages, because the extra carriage was for gifts.

The way home was not smooth, but Shen Zhong's family was happy because of this obstacle, because, God who had been sleeping for almost a year, finally opened his eyes, it was snowing, and the snowflakes fell on the ground one by one, like a thin layer of quilts on the earth, covering the hearts of people who were eating by the land, and finally saw hope, hoping that next year would be a bumper harvest year.

The snow was not falling much, but it was half a month at a time, and it slowly accumulated a foot of deep thickness. The journey of Shen Zhong's family was separated like this, and it took many days longer than when they came.

When Shen Zhong's family was still wandering on the road, a great event happened in Shenjia Village, and suddenly one day, many big people came here, saying that they were sent by the Imperial City of Shangjing to read the holy decree.

Where have you ever seen such a big world in a deserted village, a whole flag team, all riding high-headed horses, equipped with long swords and big swords, majestic. The man at the head has a white face and a beard, and he speaks in a girlish manner, is it the eunuch who serves the emperor in the legendary imperial city?

The magistrate of Jiuyang City, who had already received the news, came to Li, and of course Shen Zhi would come, I heard that it was for Shen Zhong's family in Shenjia Village, and he was stunned at the time, and he knew that Shen Zhong's family had not come back after going to Shaoyang City, and he was happy, this is an opportunity!

Do you want a nobleman from Beijing to wait for a farmer? Hurry up and bring Old Man Shen over to receive the holy decree together.

The old eunuch lowered his eyelids, glanced lightly at Shen Zhi's father and son who were kneeling on the ground, and asked in a sharp voice, "Who are you Shen Zhong?" Who is Shen Xiaoxia? ”

Shen Zhi didn't dare to raise his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Try to make your voice sound calmer, and replied: "Xiaguan is Shen Zhong's younger brother, Shen Zhong's family went to Shaoyang City and didn't come back. ”

The father-in-law listened, looked back at a tall carriage behind him, saw that there was no movement in the carriage, thought about it, and said, "Don't blame those who don't know, you might take the order for Shen Zhong?" ”

"Lower function." Shen Zhi hurriedly lowered his head and said yes, a smile on his face.

Suddenly, there was a coughing sound from the carriage behind him, and the public horse who was about to announce the decree stopped moving, thought about it again, and said, "That's it, the miscellaneous family will wait for Shen Zhong for one more day, and come back tomorrow to announce the decree." ”

After that, he turned around and left with a team of mighty and imposing flag teams.

Shen Zhi was also in the clouds, but he had vaguely guessed in his heart what would happen.

Early the next morning, Shen Zhitong and the village chief and the entire Shenjia Village stood outside the village waiting for the nobles in the Imperial City of Shangjing.

From early morning to noon, and from noon to the westward setting of the sun, many people who were frozen couldn't stand it, and the pair of majestic flag teams finally appeared in the field of vision of the people of Shenjia Village.

"Here ......

"Shh......h Be quiet, if you make an adult unhappy, you will lose your head. I don't know who said it, but the crowd that had just become lively was unusually quiet again.

The father-in-law, who was riding a high horse and walking in the front, looked at the crowd, frowned, and asked in a pinched throat, "Shen Zhong, can't Shen Xiaoxia come to receive the order?" ”

"It's because the subordinate is incompetent, and he can't notify his brother in time, please atone for your sins." At this time, Shen Zhi wished that Shen Zhong would never come back, even if he came back later, the better, and when he took care of everything, they would be too late to come back.

The father-in-law sighed and looked at the sky, the snow had stopped, and the sky was still gray. They are all people with important things to do, and it is impossible to wait for a farmer to come back and take orders.

"Then proclaim the decree!"

After the father-in-law finished speaking, all the people present in Shenjia Village knelt down in a regular manner.

The father-in-law on the horse opened a bright yellow silk cloth, and the back was embroidered with a delicate cyan dragon pattern and a dark red word for holy decree.

coughed and coughed in a thin and hoarse voice, and pondered for a while.

"Carried by heaven, the emperor summoned ......"

"Wait......" A clear voice came from the rear.
