At this moment, Guo Xiaoxiao walked over to several people wearing a goose-yellow flowing fairy skirt.

Master Guo smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." ”

"Who is Cao Cao?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked knowingly, and walked to Mrs. Guo and stood beside him.

Master Guo said: "You are not Cao Cao, you are a stinker." ”

"Daddy." Guo Xiaoxiao puffed out his cheeks, "You always make fun of others." ”

It caused several people to laugh.

At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan said: "I am going to Suzhou on a business trip in a few days, and I want to take Xiaoxiao with me." ”

"It's not good." Master Guo paused, "I'm afraid of not following the rules." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan explained: "I have already told my father about this, and he agreed, so I came to ask you and my aunt's opinion." ”

Mrs. Guo said softly: "Master, it's better to let Xiao Xiao go out for a walk, so that she doesn't stay in the house all day." ”

"It's fine." Master Guo also knew that people were gossiping about Guo Xiaoxiao behind his back.

Now that his father has agreed, Guo Xiaoxiao also agreed to go with him.

Later, Mrs. Guo persuaded Jiang Zhiyuan to stay for dinner. Jiang Zhiyuan thought that he hadn't eaten with his uncle and aunt in Guo's mansion for a long time, so he didn't refuse.

The cook was still cooking, and there was still a lot of free time at this time, so Mrs. Guo took Jiang Zhiyuan to the wing room and said that she would try on Jiang Zhiyuan's clothes.

Mrs. Guo put on the clothes for him with her own hands and said, "I spent three months making this dress for you, can you see if it fits?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan smiled and tied his clothes and belts: "Auntie's craftsmanship is naturally good. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao is also there, she has been playing with Jiang Zhiyuan since she was a child, and she naturally won't avoid suspicion when Jiang Zhiyuan changes clothes.

Mrs. Jiang died early, and Mrs. Guo, as his aunt, of course had to care more. Besides, the Guo family was able to find such a good mansion in Yangzhou, all thanks to the help of Jiang Fan's father and son.

Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "The dark blue arrow sleeves, the tiger is vigorous, it is very suitable for my cousin." ”

Xiaolan's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the neckline and cuffs of her clothes were embroidered with tiger stripes, so she smiled and said, "Madam, knowing that the young master is a tiger, she has embroidered tiger stripes for decoration." ”

Hearing Xiaolan say this, Jiang Zhiyuan took a closer look at the cuffs, the tiger stripes on the top were tightly needlework, and the embroidery was delicate, so it could be seen that it took a lot of effort.

Jiang Zhiyuan arched his hand and said: "My aunt makes clothes for me by herself, Zhiyuan really doesn't know what to say." ”

"Good boy, what are you doing with those words?" Mrs. Guo stepped forward and raised his hand, "You and Xiao Xiao, I both hurt the same." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was also very happy when he saw Mrs. Guo and Jiang Zhiyuan greeting each other.

"The pear blossoms in the backyard are blooming just right, so my cousin and I should go and see it." After Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Zhiyuan to the backyard.

Mrs. Guo instructed: "Don't play for too long, remember to come back for dinner later." ”

"Got it." Guo Xiaoxiao said.

Later, Mrs. Guo arranged for someone to wash the clothes that Jiang Zhiyuan had changed.

Guo Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhiyuan walked under the pear blossom tree in the backyard, Guo Xiaoxiao picked up a fallen leaf on the ground and said, "This leaf is still so fresh, it must have been pecked down by a crow." ”

"How do you know you were pecked by a crow?" Jiang Zhiyuan asked curiously.

"Guess what?"

"I don't guess."

"Oh, guess what."

"Do you guess me?"

"I don't want to guess if you guess or not."

"Since you don't want to guess whether I guess or not, why do you have to let me guess the fallen leaves?"

"Me." Guo Xiaoxiao turned his back and lowered his head to play with the leaf in his hand.

"Saint Cloud, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." Jiang Zhiyuan walked up to her, "Have you forgotten all the "Four Books" that your uncle asked you to read?" ”

"It's not fun." Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head to the side, "Don't play, let's go eat." ”

She raised her foot and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Zhiyuan.

"Not happy?" He said.

"No, since you don't want to play, then don't. Anyway, my game is boring and unfair to you. ”

"When do you think your stinky temper will change?" Jiang Zhiyuan pointed at her nose with his hand and said.

"I can't." She pushed his hand away, "I'm just so unreasonable. ”

"You!"

"How?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at him.

Jiang Zhiyuan quietly took the leaf from her hand, and then scratched the tip of her nose.

"What are you doing?"

Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to push his hand away, but Jiang Zhiyuan kept moving back and forth, and he just refused to stop scratching the tip of her nose.

"You're enough." She was a little angry.

But his pranks didn't stop.

"Jiang Zhiyuan, you're enough!"

Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly dropped the fallen leaves and hugged her with both hands.

"You let me go." She rubbed in his arms.

"Guo Xiaoxiao, you won't be able to get married like this."

"So what? It's a big deal to set up a chastity archway. If it didn't work well, she cut her hair and became a nun. ”

"Your mouth is really sharp."

"Hmph." She pushed him with both hands, "You let go of me." ”

At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly let go of her, walked under the pear tree and picked up another leaf, and said, "Suddenly like a spring breeze overnight, take the next sentence." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said, "Then the poetry will be drawn to the blue sky." ”

He added: "The red apricot branches are in spring. ”

She looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "Except Wushan is not a cloud. ”

"Clear water out of hibiscus."

"It's better than nature."

"Boundless falling wood."

"It's just that it was clear at the time."

Jiang Zhiyuan walked over and nodded her nose again: "You, you really didn't study hard." ”

"Am I wrong?"

"Eat, eat, eat."

Jiang Zhiyuan turned his back to her and waved all the way out of the backyard. Guo Xiaoxiao pouted and followed out of the backyard.

A few days later, it was time for Jiang Zhiyuan to set off for Suzhou. Jiang Zhiyuan went to Guo's mansion early in the morning to pick up Guo Xiaoxiao.

For the sake of portability, Jiang Zhiyuan only brought a few sets of change clothes. He was shocked when he saw Guo Xiaoxiao's big bag, but he was embarrassed to speak.

He frowned and said euphemistically, "Miss, what are these things of yours?" ”

When Xiaolan handed the luggage to Jiang Feng to pack, Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Clothes." ”

"You have so many clothes." Jiang Zhiyuan exclaimed.

"That's right, otherwise look at me, the clothes I wore for half a month are not the same."

"You don't have to bring so much. Besides, you may not be able to fit so many carriages. ”

"Okay." Guo Xiaoxiao pointed to a few bags of luggage, "Keep these bags." ”

After removing the clothes, there are three bags of luggage.

Jiang Zhiyuan said again: "What are those other packets?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao explained one by one: "This bag is my rouge gouache, spices and jewelry. This bag is my shoes, and the rest of the bag is clothes. ”

"Do you want to bring it all with you?" Jiang Zhiyuan's face at this moment was asking if he could have a little less.

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao nodded frequently.

Originally, Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Feng and Xiaolan's luggage was only a small bag each, and with Guo Xiaoxiao's, all the places where the carriage was stored for luggage were filled.

Jiang Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Okay, get in the car." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and helped Jiang Zhiyuan's hand into the carriage. After Xiaolan sat down in the driver's seat together, Jiang Feng drove forward.

The carriage swayed out of the city gate, and Guo Xiaoxiao also shook along the way, laughing while shaking.

Jiang Zhiyuan smiled and asked her, "Isn't it stupid?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Guo Xiaoxiao was furious.

Jiang Zhiyuan wore the blue arrow sleeves made by Mrs. Guo today, Guo Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "This dress suits you very well." ”

"The fabric you chose?" Jiang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"No, my mother chose it."

After a while, Guo Xiaoxiao said again: "But I think there seems to be something missing from this dress." ”

Jiang Zhi looked at her in confusion. Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Zhiyuan from head to toe, and finally fixed his gaze on his hair.

"Yes, I know what's missing." She said.

"What's missing?"

"I won't tell you yet."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yangzhou is still a long way from Suzhou. Guo Xiaoxiao would lift the curtain to look at the scenery outside the car at first, but after a long time, it was only boring, and he had no intention of appreciating it at all.

Since she was a child, she did not like to ride in a carriage, because she often had to go far away. It was really boring and boring to have to sit in the car for a long time as soon as she went out, and it was even more uncomfortable for her to have no one to talk to on the way.

In desperation, sleep became her only way to relieve her depression. Because as soon as the eyes are closed and opened, hours pass. After sleeping a few times on the road, Suzhou no longer seems so far away.

I saw Guo Xiaoxiao squinting her eyes and leaning against the wall of the carriage, and the carriage swayed and woke her up from time to time. Or maybe she fell asleep and her head slipped off the wall of the carriage, and then she woke up again. So over and over again, it is natural to sleep uncomfortably.

"Come here." Jiang Zhiyuan said softly.

Guo Xiaoxiao drooped his head and dragged his tired body to sit next to him. Jiang Zhiyuan reached out and put his hand around her shoulders and let her sleep on top of her.

After a while, Guo Xiaoxiao fell asleep again. The weather was a little hot, so Jiang Zhiyuan took out a folding fan from the storage area of the seat and gently opened it to fan her.

He touched her hand, which seemed to be very hot, and pulled out a bottle of cool and antipyretic peppermint essential oil from his sleeve. A few drops were placed in the palm of his hand, and then applied to Guo Xiaoxiao's temples.

The sun outside the car was even hotter, and the sun shone mercilessly on Jiang Feng and Xiaolan.

Xiaolan opened an umbrella and supported herself and Jiang Feng who was driving. After half an hour, Jiang Feng saw that Xiaolan's hands were a little tired, so he said, "I'll come." ”

Xiaolan smiled and said, "I'll take it, you still have to drive." ”

"It's fine." Jiang Feng said after a while, "If you're tired, just tell me, and I'll support you." ”

"Hmm." Xiaolan smiled.

At noon, Jiang Feng said to Jiang Zhiyuan: "Master, there is a post station in front, let's come down and eat something." ”

"Okay."

The carriage finally stopped shaking, and Guo Xiaoxiao also woke up.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Are you hungry? ”

"Sort of."

"Get out of the car."

Guo Xiaoxiao got off the carriage with Jiang Zhiyuan and went to the post station. Jiang Zhiyuan showed the token of the commander of the Yangzhou government, and there was a small servant to lead the way. The little guy glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao on the way and didn't say anything. He did not shy away from suspicion, and walked in front of Guo Xiaoxiao's hand all the way.
