At this time, the wheel of the car slowly moved, and Du Mingxin lifted the curtain and looked outside, the sky was still a little dark. In addition to the guards of various families, there were several teams of royal guards.

Du Mingxin lowered the curtain and smiled at Yuan Ying: "What's so strange about that?" My uncle is a talent, heroic, and proficient in all the six arts of a gentleman, if they don't look down on it, I think it's strange......"

Before he could say a word, someone suddenly threw in a bag of snacks wrapped in paper from the window, and almost smashed into Du Mingxin. Suddenly, another bag was thrown in.

Du Mingxin lifted the curtain to look, but saw that a tall figure had already urged the horse forward. She pouted, what kind of nerves did she have, she was so good to people!

Yuan Ying looked at her expression and understood, and reached out to open a bag of dim sum, which was carefully wrapped in glutinous rice paper one by one. This bag is all sweet, such as donkey rolling, mung bean cake and the like, and the other bag is full of salty dim sum, crab roe crisp and pretzel cakes.

Yuan Ying picked up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it, and said with a smile: "The person who delivered the dim sum is careful, I'm afraid that you will get tired of eating sweet food, and I specially prepared some salty ones." Looking at the style of the paper bag, I'm afraid that it was made by the cook at home the day before! ”

Du Mingxin was also moved when he saw these carefully prepared foods. can think of the rudeness of Chen Xi throwing snacks just now, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Be content!" Yuan Ying said with a smile, "People say that my brother treats his sister-in-law well, but I don't think it's as careful as King Jin." ”

Du Mingxin also laughed at what she said, and said, "These snacks can't stop your mouth!" How can anyone make up his brother like this for the comfort of others? ”

The two talked and laughed all the way, and when they got out of the capital, the speed of the carriage increased.

After a while, Shen Yao's voice sounded outside the car: "Sister Xin, what are you missing here?" ”

Du Mingxin heard his uncle's voice, happily lifted the curtain, and said with a smile: "I don't lack anything here!" Uncle, where are you just now, why don't you see you? ”

Shen Yao said with a smile: "I'm at the front of the Imperial Palace, and when I get out of the city and the road is smoother, I have time to come and see you." ”

He glanced at a man sitting in the carriage, not dressed like a maid. When I want to ask, I am afraid that the daughter of the noble family will think that she is rude. Just as she was hesitating, the girl smiled and reported to herself: "Say hello to Xingguo Gong!" I am the eldest granddaughter of Wei Guogong, and I have been invited to walk with her. ”

She spoke so generously that Shen Yao felt that he was being stingy, and hurriedly smiled: "Miss Yuan, don't be polite!" Thanks to you for being able to accompany your sister, it also saves her from feeling bored on the road. ”

"I'm older than Mingxin, and I should take care of it more."

Shen Yao nodded and said to Du Mingxin: "When I get to Taiping Yuan, it's not good for me to walk in the residence of the female dependent, so you go to the Duchess of Dingguo." I ask her to take care of you in the past two days, so you can follow Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu well, and don't walk around. ”

"Got it!" Du Mingxin smiled and agreed.

Shaking all the way, at noon, the mighty car finally arrived at the Taiping Garden. The chariot of the emperor and queen had already entered first, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids came over and politely parted ways to invite the ladies of each family to live in the courtyard arranged in advance.

Before Du Mingxin could find someone from the Dingguo Mansion, Xu Yuan had already brought two maids to look for her.

"Sister Yuan, Sister Du was preempted by me, it's rude!" Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Yuan Ying wanted to follow them all the way, but unfortunately the rules at home stopped her. She laughed, "Go, go, it's time for me to look for my mother and sister." ”

Several people saluted each other and said goodbye, and Xu Yuan took Du Mingxin's hand and went to the courtyard where he lived temporarily.

"I've heard of the name of Taiping Yuan for a long time, and I haven't had the pleasure of playing until today!" Xu Yuan said with a smile as he walked, "Hengzhu has nothing to do this afternoon, let's go shopping!" ”

"Okay," Du Mingxin smiled, "It's just that what is the allusion to this Taiping Garden?" I'm a loner, I haven't heard of it. ”

"I also came to the capital and listened to what my family said." Xu Yuan snapped her fingers and said to her, "About twenty years ago? It seems that this is the case, Emperor Changqing of the Zhou Dynasty had a particularly favored Concubine Wu, because her ancestral home is Wu County, Jiangdong, Emperor Changqing carved out this place in the suburbs of Beijing, and built this garden for her to imitate the Jiangnan garden. ”

"It's a pity that this Concubine Wu has only been in the palace for two years, and she died before the garden was completed."

Du Mingxin nodded and sighed: "Pity is a thin life. ”

"Yes!" Xu Yuan also regretted, "I heard that her grandfather was a world-famous Confucian at that time, and her father was the champion of the princess, and the family has two generations of peach and plum all over the world." She must be a stunning woman, but it's a pity that she has such a thin life. ”

The two men walked and talked, not noticing a man standing at the corner of the path. In the end, Xia Ye, who was still walking behind, saw it, she stepped forward and pulled Du Mingxin's sleeve, and whispered: "Girl, where is the prince." ”

Du Mingxin raised his eyes and found that Chen Xi was standing under a begonia tree. The begonias in early spring have just hung pink buds, reflecting Chen Xi's face, and there is a bit of interest in watching beauties under the tree.

Xu Yuan said with a smile: "King Jin, you want to see Sister Du, just come and see it generously!" Why do you stand guard on the road so gloomy, I think it's a robbery! ”

Chen Xi pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, he didn't smile like this, but Xu Yuan was scared. She hurriedly said: "Sister Du, you and King Jin have a slow chat, I'll go over first!" After saying that, she ran away with the maid in a puff of smoke.

Du Mingxin looked at Chen Xi with a gloomy face, thought about it, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and gave him a fragrant kiss when they parted last time. When they meet again, how can he put on this appearance of being borrowed by someone else for a thousand taels of silver?

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Xi didn't speak, and Du Mingxin had no choice but to ask with a wry smile, and his tone was three points weaker for no reason.

"Who do you praise in the carriage for showing talent, handsome and chic, and you think it's strange who doesn't look down on him?"

"Little uncle!"

As if it was a heavy punch to the cotton, Chen Xi was very helpless. Du Mingxin praised Shen Yao like this, which was reasonable, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"That's all you need for this?" Du Mingxin was angry and laughed, "If you praise my little uncle for me, you will throw snacks and put on your face?" ”

"It's not." Chen Xi cheekily denied it.

"Why is that?" Du Mingxin is not dead.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, I don't care about the villain." Chen Xi waved his hand, "I may have to follow the emperor for the past two days, you are so good to follow the Duchess of Dingguo, don't run around." ”

"Why do you have to tell me not to run around?" Du Ming said dissatisfied, "Am I like someone who can run around?" ”
