Jiangnan in August is still hot and dry in summer.

In the suburbs, a two-in, two-out courtyard is unusually conspicuous.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is full of sweet and glutinous elegance, just like the people here, the men are elegant, the women are gentle, or standing or walking, all of them are a pair of ink paintings. And this two-entry house seems to be incompatible with the surroundings, and the eyes are dazzling red, not the solemn and atmospheric cinnabar red, but the bright red, which is unassuming, but makes people feel taken for granted.

"Phew—" Lerma's voice sounded.

A slender figure jumped off the horse's back, just a back, but it made people's eyes light up, it was a soldier's uprightness, faint evil spirit, not deliberately carved, making people shudder, but contradictory want to take a look.

With a flick of the man's arm, the reins fell into the hands of the servant who was following him.

The little guy is no longer surprised, with an expressionless face with a bit of deliberate maturity.

The figure shuttles through the verandah familiarly, and occasionally encounters a cleaning maid, the maid has just been shocked to be blessed, and the figure has already rushed out more than a zhang, leaving only a stormy back.

The maids seemed to have long been accustomed to this situation, and only secretly pouted, what should they do.

The figure went straight to the second gate, turned into a small courtyard, and stopped at the door of the study.

He took two deep breaths, adjusted his rapid breathing, deliberately suppressed the eagerness and joy in his heart, and gently pushed the door open.

On the windowsill sat a young woman of eleven or twelve years old, single with her cheeks propped up, looking out the window boredly. It was an unintentional action, but it brought a laziness that did not fit his age, between youth and charm, a different kind of temptation. Thin lips pursed slightly, with a coquettish enchantment, half-squinted eyes, looking out of the window in a blur, the whole person looks like a hazy landscape splash ink painting.

The came's throat moved, and a hoarse voice overflowed from his mouth, "Jiaojiao." ”

Qin Wan blinked, his misty eyes glanced at the cramped person at the door, tilted his head, and smiled slightly, "Jing Xing." ”

Xiao Jingxing grabbed his hair honestly, and entered the door with his left hand and left foot, "Everything is packed up, right?" I discussed it with Aunt Bai yesterday, and Ming'er left after breakfast, and the people accompanying me are ready, you let people take a look at it again, if there is anything missing. ”

"With lychee and longan to watch, I won't miss anything, besides, I don't have many things, according to my mother's meaning, my mother is more willing to travel lightly."

Xiao Jingxing took two steps forward, walked to Qin Wan and sat down, "In addition to the people who came before I came, General Bai also sent people from the military camp to accompany them, and Rui Zhuo and them will come later." ”

Qin Wan nodded meekly, but she didn't care in her heart.

It's no wonder that the eldest uncle will be so careful, in the past few years in Jiangnan, there will always be one or two restless wandering outside, fortunately, the mother has already arranged everything, and there is the help of the grandmother's family, so there is no big turmoil, just a little trouble.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan shook her head.

Originally, I thought that leaving Shengjing was just to go to Jiangnan to play, in addition to relaxing, it was self-cultivation, but who would have thought that staying in Jiangnan would be six years.

Six years, I don't know if they are okay when they go back this time?

Qin Wan's mist-like eyes were blurred again, and he quietly glanced out of the window.

There was nothing outside the window, but she seemed to see a lot.

"The prince's wedding is also a major event in Shengjing, but it has nothing to do with us, it's just that the old prince is not in good health during this time, and General Bai means to let you and Aunt Bai go back and take a look."

Zhang Ruishun got married, Xiao Jingxing didn't think it had anything to do with them, and Bai Zhishui had no plans to go back, but some time ago, the old prince suddenly fell seriously ill, and Bai Zhishui decided to take Qin Wan back to Shengjing. Moreover, Qin Ruizhuo has made great progress in the army over the years, and now that there are frequent border wars, they will have to go to the battlefield sooner or later, so Bai Zhishui decided to take Qin Wan back to his son to sit in town.

Qin Ruizhuo will be Qin Wan's dependence in the future, Bai Zhishui doesn't care about anything as before, thinking that she can protect her children in this way, she should have known that no matter how she seems not to care, with her mother's identity, Qin Ruizhuo and Qin Wan can't escape the fate of being involved. Since this is the case, she naturally wants to use all the resources available to pave the way for the two children, thinking that it would be good to let the two children live this life in an ordinary and safe way, but she forgot that which of the children of the Bai family can be ordinary?

Rather than being at the mercy of others, she would rather be the one who is at the mercy of others!

Since everyone thinks of Qin Ruizhuo and Qin Wan as imaginary enemies, how can they let these people down?

Her child is destined to become the leader of this dark war.

With this awareness, in Jiangnan all these years, Bai Zhishui's teaching to Qin Wan is also different from the past, Qin Wan followed Bai Zhishui's side, only to know what kind of character his mother is, and then gradually understood the hard work of his mother.

"Uncle is too careful, if we really let us go back so vigorously, I'm afraid that before we enter the city gate, the circle will be boiling."

Obviously just said ordinary words, but because of his sweet and glutinous voice, he was a little bewitched.

Xiao Jingxing pinched his hot earlobes and coughed, "General Bai is also taking precautions, over the years, have there been fewer temptations from those people?" ”

The tone was slightly murderous, but because of the person opposite, he deliberately forbeared.

Qin Wan pouted indifferently, "I don't know what they have grown up into, whether they are qualified opponents." ”

Gambling, isn't it fun to gamble the bigger the stakes?

Six years of enjoyment is enough to make their ambition grow, and the feeling of having what they want is like an addiction, which makes people obsessed with it, when one day, they can no longer want anything......

Just thinking about it is pleasing to the eye.

Lowering his eyes, hiding the rage in the mist eyes, Qin Wan still said in an "innocent" tone: "My mother and relatives have all been arranged, and when the people brought by the eldest brother come, they will all live in the guest house." ”

There are not many people with Qin Ruizhuo, all of them are cronies who have been with him all these years, this time the eldest uncle nodded and let these people out of the camp, firstly, because he was worried about her and his mother, and secondly, he also wanted to train his eldest brother. During these days, there have been frequent nuisances at the border, although it seems that there is nothing, but Qin Wan understands that this is just a test by the other party, and who knows when the war will come. Although the eldest brother learned a lot of the art of war from his uncle, he has never fought in actual combat, so it is unknown whether he can be flexible.

"Anything else?" Seeing that Xiao Jingxing had no intention of saying goodbye, Qin Wan took the initiative to ask.

Xiao Jingxing's body stiffened, and the pink of his earlobes gradually spread upward.

"Yesterday, Rui Zhuo and I went to the prefect's house to do business, and I happened to see a pair of earrings, and I bought them back because I thought they were beautiful, I originally wanted to give them to Aunt Bai, but ......"

"But the style is too immature, and my mother is not suitable for it."

Xiao Jingxing nodded awkwardly.

"And you don't know who to give it to, and it's not appropriate to keep it around, so you want me to keep it temporarily, of course, this kind of thing can't be pressed to the bottom of the box, if I'm okay, I'll wear it for fun, and let these things be popular."

Xiao Jingxing's face turned red suddenly, but he still nodded expectantly.

"Bring it." Qin Wan reluctantly stretched out her claws.

In the past six years, Xiao Jingxing didn't seem to have thought of any other excuse except for this excuse, obviously he bought something for her on purpose, and he had to use such a roundabout way. Didn't you say that the generals were all rectums? Why is there more bends in the intestines around her than there are scholars?

Qin Wan couldn't help but wonder if this future god of war was raised crooked by himself?

However, she has seen Xiao Jingxing's decisive side, and that kind of momentum is faintly comparable to that of her eldest uncle.

Xiao Jingxing carefully handed the brocade box in his arms to Qin Wan and looked at her expectantly.

Pearl earrings.

Different from ordinary pearls, this pair of pearls in Qinwan's hand is a pink pearl, with crystal color, delicate feel, round and full pearls, the particles are not large, like rice grains, but because of the relationship between the color, people can not ignore it. The pink and tender color, like the skin of a newborn child, is so moist that it seems to pop up blisters when you touch it.

"It's beautiful." Qin Wan, as usual, praised it.

Xiao Jingxing immediately grinned excitedly as if he had been rewarded.

"By the way, do you have anything to pack? Why don't you go back to your yard? Even when he arrived in Jiangnan, Qin Wan still left a courtyard for Xiao Jingxing, but because of the limited space, Xiao Jingxing and Zhang Yuxi lived in the same courtyard. At the beginning, Xiao Jingxing and Qin Ruizhuo didn't come for many days, and it would be good to come once in half a year, but this year, after the year, the two of them basically came once a month, and they could stay for three days each time.

"I don't have anything, and Jinru doesn't have many things, something that can be solved with a burden."

Qin Wan was noncommittal to Xiao Jingxing's words.

Six years ago, when I came to Jiangnan, after soliciting Xiao Jingxing's intentions and Jinru's own wishes, Qin Wan brought Jinru with her, and helped in Zhang Yuxi's yard on weekdays. Others only thought that Qin Wan took special care of Jinru because of Xiao Jingxing, and only Qin Wan knew that she was helping Xiao Jingxing cultivate.

Anyway, raising a god of war is raising, and raising a war princess is also raising, and the benefits brought are definitely more than double, but it is a matter of moving the skin, Qin Wan feels that this is a very cost-effective deal.

"By the way, you have read all the news I gave you before?" I think Xiao Jingxing didn't want to say more on this issue, so he suddenly diverted the topic.

Qin Wan nodded, "I've seen it all, but I didn't expect him to be able to survive." ”

The "he" in Qin Wan's mouth refers to Qin Dongshan.

"I thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would fall in less than a year, but I didn't expect Qin Dongshan to find a business that made him rich overnight, and even your people didn't find out what he was secretly doing?" Qin Wan suddenly leaned towards Xiao Jingxing.
