The two of them talked and laughed along the way, playing and walking all the way, you chase me for a while, sit and talk on your knees for a while, it was the sun was shining, the sun was scorching, the two laughed and came to the market, found a tea Liao chose a seat, and called two bowls of tea to quench their thirst.

"It's a hot day, I'll wipe my sweat for me." Yang Chu's skirt took out the handkerchief from her arms with a smile, and wiped it off Shen Jiannan's forehead, Shen Jiannan was very polite, and said with a smile: "I'd better come by myself." Saying that, this hand was helped, and it happened to grasp Yang Chu's hand, and suddenly it was like electricity, and the eyes of the two met, and in a moment, Shen Jiannan hurriedly withdrew his hand and turned his head back, only to see that there was more sweat on his forehead than just now.

Yang Chu's skirt saw him like this, he didn't offend himself in his demeanor, he was very happy in his heart, it seemed that he didn't choose the wrong person, what he was looking at was a righteous gentleman, and said shyly: "Brother Shen, are you too polite, is it easy to use such restraint between us." ”

"Oh, no, no, it's just that I'm stupid, I don't know how to get along with you, I think I'll get used to it slowly, Chu Skirt, you won't blame me for not knowing sex." Shen Jiannan muttered, speaking like a child.

Yang Chu's skirt smiled knowingly, and smiled very shyly, maybe the two people who fell in love for the first time are like this, both parties are very introverted, and they both maintain that little bit of reserve, and they both feel that whoever takes the initiative to show favor first is like losing their ugliness.

Shen Jiannan turned his head, pondered for a while, and finally mustered up the courage, closed his eyes, and said, "Chu Skirt, I like you." "If you want to say it, just say it, at most ignore yourself, it's not a big deal, sooner or later, you have to say it. Slowly opened his eyes, scared tightly, so surprised, why didn't he answer for so long, his eyes slipped open a slit, and when he looked, he was surprised, ah, people?

I saw that Yang Chu's skirt ran to the side and was squatting there to pick out something, Shen Jiannan sighed and said, "Hey, in vain, I scared myself enough." So saying, he followed, took the money from his bosom, gave it to the seller, and said generously, "I will pay the bill for whatever she chooses." ”

Yang Chu's skirt picked up a hairpin, got up and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, do you think this hairpin is beautiful?" ”

I saw that this hairpin was shining with gold, although it was not pure gold, but it could also be seen that the workmanship was meticulous, and the tiny patterns on it were also carefully carved, Shen Jiannan looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's really beautiful, I'll help you put it on." As he spoke, he picked up the hairpin and inserted it between the hair strands of Yang Chu's skirt with a very flexible technique.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, the golden hairpin is matched with a beauty, this golden hairpin has finally found its owner." Shen Jiannan was full of praise. praised Yang Chu's skirt and was embarrassed. Said shyly: "Look at what you said, how can there be." The twisting and twisting action showed her extremely delicate figure.

Shen Jiannan seemed to be admiring the fairy-like state, it was the affection, his eyes radiating light, and he smiled.

"Brother Shen, this can be regarded as the first gift you gave me." Yang Chu's skirt smiled proudly.

"Okay, as long as you like it, I will give it to you, don't ask for the stars in the sky." Shen Jiannan was very happy and learned to joke.

"Brother Shen, aren't you afraid of spoiling me like this, what if I want a big courtyard and you can't afford to send it?" Yang Chu's skirt asked mischievously.

"I don't think you will, you won't bear to let me beg on the streets." Shen Jiannan smiled very honestly, and he didn't turn around at all when he spoke.

"By the way, what does my aunt like, I should bring some gifts to my aunt when I first go to your house." Yang Chu's skirt suddenly felt worried, with a worried look on her face.

Shen Jiannan hesitated for a moment and smirked: "It's been more than three months since I left home, and I remember telling my mother when I left that I wanted to buy a good piece of satin to make a new dress for my mother, but I have been gone for so long, and I haven't fulfilled my wish." ”

"Alright, let's go to the tailor's shop." Yang Chu's skirt was immediately happy, and took Shen Jiannan's hand and walked towards the tailor shop, at this time, she lost her initial shyness, and she still held hands, and they felt much more normal with each other.

Coming to the tailor shop, the two carefully selected the fabric, and Yang Chuskirt asked, "Brother Shen, what color does aunt like?" ”

"My mother likes white, she says white is clean and atmospheric, not unclassy." Shen Jiannan carefully summarized it and said carefully.

"My aunt doesn't seem to be an ordinary farmer." Yang Chuskirt said with a smile.

The two of them chose for a long time, and finally chose one, which was a white, fine silk from the Western Regions, and it cost fifty taels of silver, and the price was not high.

The two of them wrapped the materials, went to the garment shop, spent three hours of work, found the best master, and finally made the clothes, the two of them really had a good meal, this will take the clothes, and buy some dishes, happily run to the West Mountain.

As soon as he walked to the head of the market, Cao Jixiang came to him, and he didn't seem to see himself, but Shen Jiannan didn't mean to hide at all, but walked over directly, and shouted: "Cao Jixiang, I was looking for you, but you yourself appeared." ”

Cao Jixiang didn't expect to meet Shen Jiannan in this place, and he was shocked and asked, "Shen Jiannan?" Why are you here? What do you want to do? ”

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you, Xue Yuhu was rescued, did you do it?" Shen Jiannan said coldly.

"This has nothing to do with me, don't wronged me, I'm innocent, old slave." Cao Jixiang looked panicked.

"And do you know who did it?" Shen Jiannan was expressionless and asked again.

"The old slave hasn't heard of it, most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, you know, after the last incident, the emperor was very suspicious of me, how dare I enter the palace." Cao Jixiang looked bitter and said in a deep voice.

"Then you deserve it, find your own hardships, you have enough power now, and you still want to usurp power, I really don't know what to do, if it was me, I would have killed you a long time ago." Shen Jiannan glared at him fiercely.

Cao Jixiang was in his heart, obviously worried, hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "I said that the prince is ........" As soon as the sentence was said here, Shen Jiannan hurriedly intercepted and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the prince's affairs are a lesson for you, find the prince to have some eyes in the future, don't be mistaken." ”

In fact, Cao Jixiang just wanted to say that His Royal Highness the prince would raise your noble hand, but Shen Jiannan was afraid of being heard by others, so he hurriedly stopped him, but he was not afraid that Yang Chu's skirt would listen, but there were still a few people behind Cao Jixiang, and it was not time for him to let more people know.

Yang Chu's skirt was very simple, and she didn't analyze what they meant in what they said, and said lightly at the moment: "Brother Shen, it's getting dark, we have to hurry home, don't entangle with him anymore." ”

Cao Jixiang listened to the meaning of these words, and had already analyzed the relationship between the two, and said secretly in his heart: "This woman must be the prince's beloved, and it is very likely that she will be the crown princess in the future, and I can't offend the old slave." At that moment, he smiled and said: "What the girl said is that the old slave will not bother the two, please let the two of them be." ”

Shen Jiannan said lightly: "Cao Jixiang, don't let me find out what conspiracy you are doing behind your back, otherwise I won't let you go." As he spoke, he took Yang Chu's skirt's hand and walked forward. When he rubbed shoulders with Cao Jixiang, he turned his head and glared at him angrily, Cao Jixiang didn't tremble, that look was terrifying.

Shen Jiannan walked over, and Cao Jixiang hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Follow them quickly, see where they go, you must pay attention to your whereabouts, and don't use force against them, tell me where they are." His men followed.

Shen Jiannan returned to the door of his house again, looking at everything in front of him, he felt very cordial, the scenes of the past came to mind, the sound of laughing with his mother was still rippling in his ears, and he turned his head to look at the Xishan where he usually chopped wood, it was still verdant and verdant, and his heart was magnificent, and a line of excited tears fell.

After standing for a long time, Fang Cai walked in hand with Yang Chu's skirt, and there was a back figure in front of him, holding firewood, seemingly preparing to cook. Looking closely, the old man is much older, and his back is not as straight as it was three months ago. Shen Jiannan couldn't help shouting: "Mother." ”

The firewood fell all over the ground, the old man was stunned, slowly turned his head, slowly straightened his waist, his eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Jiannan, and after watching for a long time, two lines of tears fell, and the old man shouted for a long time: "Jiannan, my son." At this time, the two of them burst into tears, each took a few steps forward, and hugged each other tightly.

Yang Chuskirt was in tears when she saw it on the side, the affectionate mother and son were really envious of the dead, Yang Chuskirt had no mother since she was a child, and she was very moved to see the two of them so close at this moment, and she also sighed at her miserable life.

"Son, it's been more than three months, and you haven't come back, and I thought you didn't want to be a mother." Jian Nanniang said bitterly.

"Mother, the child is wrong, it's been three months, let the mother suffer at home alone, the child really should be beaten." Shen Jiannan threw himself on his knees and raised his hand to hit his face.

Jian Nanniang hurriedly grabbed it, and said with relief: "My son is still back, I haven't forgotten my mother, and I don't blame you for my mother, I'm just worried, you are not in the world, and I am worried that you will be harmed by bad people." ”

"Mother, I'm back this time, and I'll never leave you again, when will you be the closest person in my world." Shen Jiannan cried like a child, which had never been done before.

The mother and son told each other their hearts, and they separated for a while, but they saw that there was a girl standing next to Shen Jiannan, who was called a beautiful one, which was indescribable, Jiannanniang asked with a smile: "What is the name of this girl?" ”

"Hello aunt, my name is Yang Chuskirt." Yang Chu's skirt was very polite, and her voice was low and soft.

"Hello Miss Yang, please come to the house." Jian Nanniang greeted him with a smile.

Yang Chu's skirt walked in front and walked in excitedly, there were still the two of them outside, Jian Nanniang asked eagerly: "Son, what's the matter with this girl?" ”

"Ah, she's a friend of mine, a very good friend." Shen Jiannan said with a sneer.

"It's your sweetheart, right?" Jian Nanniang saw it and asked deliberately.

Shen Jiannan was shy, lowered his head, did not speak, and walked in silently, Jiannan Niang knew in her heart, secretly happy, and thought: "My son, there is such a beautiful girl as a sweetheart, it is simply a gift from God." ”

When she came to the house, Jian Nanniang smiled and said, "Miss Yang, you can sit casually, the farm place is in poor conditions." ”

"It's okay, aunt, don't be polite, you're so enthusiastic, I'm embarrassed." Yang Chuskirt said shyly.

"Okay, then Miss Yang, you can treat this place as your home, you can rest first, you must not have eaten yet, I will cook you a few delicious dishes, you will wait for a while." Jian Nanniang was so busy that she didn't know what to do.

"Auntie, you can just call me the first skirt." Yang Chuskirt said with a smile.

"That's great, Chu Skirt, you can sit with Jian Nan for a while, and taste your aunt's craftsmanship for a while." Jian Nanniang said happily.

"Auntie, I'll help you." Yang Chuskirt said happily.

"Oh, no, no, how can you go to a dirty place like the kitchen, you better sit." Jian Nanniang politely declined. Then he went to the inner hall and prepared the meal.

Yang Chu's skirt looked around, then turned to Shen Jiannan again, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, have you and your mother always lived here?" ”

"No, we used to live outside the capital, and we moved here because of a little thing." Shen Jiannan sighed, feeling a little resentful in his heart.

"Brother Shen, do you have something unspeakable, can you tell me?" Yang Chu's skirt saw the content from his eyes, and being empathetic was his specialty, and he must have to share his worries at this time.

"I do have a big secret in my heart, but this is related to the safety of many people, I can't say it until the last resort, Chu Skirt, please forgive me, I don't want to hide anything from you, but this matter is very important, when I figure it out, I'll tell you." Shen Jiannan sighed repeatedly, and his depressed mood could not be relieved.

"I can understand that no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side and support you silently." Yang Chu's skirt flashed with watery eyes, a soft voice, and innocent words made Shen Jiannan feel a lot more comfortable.

"The dish is here." Jian Nanniang walked out quickly with a plate of steaming farmhouse stir-fried vegetables 'fried meat and chili', and said with a smile: "First skirt, try how your aunt's craftsmanship is." As he spoke, he put the dish on the table and handed over the chopsticks.

"Yes! It's so fragrant, my aunt is really good at cooking. Yang Chu sandwiched a small piece of her skirt, tasted it carefully, and said with relish.

"It's delicious, you can eat more, I'll serve you rice." Jian Nanniang's face was already happy, and she took the rice bowl and turned into the kitchen.

Shen Jiannan looked at Yang Chu's skirt silently, seeing that she was elegant when she was eating, she was a model of everyone's beauty, and she was happy in her heart, Yang Chu's skirt felt that the person opposite was not moving, so she was curious, and slowly raised her head, but saw that he was looking at herself intently, and she looked at herself shyly, half of her face turned red, and asked coquettishly: "Brother Shen, what are you looking at, why don't you eat." ”

"I want to watch you eat, your every move is so beautiful, I can't get enough of it." Shen Jiannan smirked.

"Oh, Brother Shen, if you look at it again, people can't eat it, and everyone is embarrassed." Yang Chuskirt lowered her head and muttered.

Jian Nanniang observed carefully behind the door, and saw that the two seemed to be flirting and scolding, and she was very happy in her heart, and said secretly: "My Muna child can still have such a girl like it, hey, it is not in vain for the trust of the hero, if I can really come together and give them a kiss, I will also fulfill my wish." ”

Jian Nanniang brought a few side dishes from the back kitchen, and finally the three of them ate at the same table, Yang Chu's skirt ate with relish, smiling, and Jian Nanniang couldn't close her mouth.

"Chu Skirt, who else is in the family?" Jian Nanniang asked about the family, and the purpose was obvious.

"There is still a father in the family." Yang Chu's skirt replied respectfully and politely.

"Chu Skirt, how old is this year?" Jian Nanniang asked deeply.

"I'm eighteen years old." Yang Chu's skirt whispered.

"Have you ever thought about finding someone?" Jian Nanniang went straight to the point.

"This ......? I... I haven't thought about it yet. Yang Chu's skirt was stunned for a moment, such a question really made her feel shy, originally an introvert, when talking about such a topic, it was inevitable that her face couldn't hold her face, and she immediately buried her head.

Shen Jiannan was embarrassed when he saw Yang Chu's skirt, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't ask about it, the dishes will be cold for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I won't ask, let's eat." Jian Nanniang also felt embarrassed to ask other girls, so she relieved the atmosphere at the moment, and put vegetables in Yang Chu's skirt bowl again and again, very enthusiastic.

After a meal, Yang Chu's skirt helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Jiannan especially remembered the scene of chopping wood on the mountain in the past, and suddenly wanted to go up the mountain to see it again.

"Hatsuki, how about we go for a walk in the mountains, there are memories of my past."

"Okay." Yang Chuskirt readily agreed.

"Take care of the first skirt, insects and poisonous snakes often haunt the mountains, you must be careful." Jian Nanniang cares for her.

The two turned around and were just about to leave, when they saw two people walking outside the door, it was He Tianshu and Chen Heng, these two people were respectful, stepped forward, and said: "Your Royal Highness, Gonggong Cao, please move to the forest to talk." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Chu's skirt was shocked, looked at the two people who looked at him, and then looked at Shen Jiannan, who didn't know whether it was sadness or joy, it was a mixture of joy and sorrow. Shen Jiannan secretly complained to himself, he didn't expect these two people to say it so generously. I'm very angry at the moment, but it's not good to be angry, it's not someone else who hears it next to me, it's my sweetheart, and it's okay to hear it.

"Why didn't Cao Jixiang come and speak?" Shen Jiannan asked angrily.

"Gonggong Cao wants to talk to you alone." He Tianshu replied.

"You call him over, I don't want to go over, if you have anything to say, say it in front of everyone, it just so happens to be public." Shen Jiannan said lazily.

Cao Jixiang watched the forest for a long time, and could see that Shen Jiannan was very reluctant, so he hurriedly ran over and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, Lao Nu is here to invite you back to the palace." ”

"I don't want to go back, and besides, I'm not sure I'm the prince yet." Shen Jiannan said.

Cao Jixiang turned to Jian Nanniang and asked, "Sister-in-law, you say, is he the child that Qu Aofeng handed over to you back then." ”

"Yes, but he doesn't want to be a prince, haven't you been here before." Jian Nanniang said coldly.

Yang Chuskirt didn't understand the reason, and she couldn't interject, so she could only listen to it from the side, but she could hear that the three people on the other side didn't seem to have bad intentions towards Shen Jiannan, and she was relieved in her heart.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor, the emperor is looking for you to find the bitterness, for this old slave I am also very bitter, I can't find you old anger may not be able to protect your life, please look at the old slave for the sake of the old slave and go back with me to see the emperor, even if you don't recognize this father, at least go back and take a look, prove that the old slave has found you." Cao Jixiang's tone was sincere and said bitterly.

"Hmph, who knows if you have some kind of ghost idea, since I don't want to go back, you can find another Xue Yuhu impostor, isn't it a very simple thing for your father-in-law Cao?" Shen Jiannan said sharply.

"Oh, His Royal Highness the prince, don't wronged me, that Xue Yuhu pretended to be the prince, so I didn't expect it, and the old slave was not very good for a while, and it almost made a big mistake." Cao Jixiang sighed and said regretfully.

Shen Jiannan was very disdainful, he didn't put his words in his ears at all, and he didn't believe it in his heart, whatever he said, his mind was broken, and he said at the moment: "Gonggong Cao, please go back, I won't go to the palace, whether the emperor is my father or not, but I have lost hope for him, God let me live in the rivers and lakes, then I am destined to be a person in the rivers and lakes, and everything in the palace will have nothing to do with me." ”

Cao Jixiang is very helpless, this is the real prince in front of him, people don't want to go, and he can't be forcibly tied up, although he is so sure now, he can't promise to change his hexagram one day, and then go back, he was unreasonable to him before, and he will not have his own good fruit to eat in the future.

In the end, he was helpless and sighed: "Okay, Your Royal Highness, maybe you haven't figured it out yet, the old slave lives in the town, I'll come back tomorrow, I hope you can go back to the palace with me then." ”

"No need, don't waste any more time on me, go back and tell the emperor, just say that the prince is dead, let him die, in addition, turn back the eyeliner you gave, if I find out again, I will never spare him." Shen Jiannan slammed the next sentence, turned around and went back to the house.

Cao Jixiang was still stunned in place, staring blankly, He Tianshu asked, "Grandpa Cao, what should I do next?" ”

"Go back, come back tomorrow, I don't believe that he is beaten by iron, let go of glory and wealth, and be willing to mess around on the rivers and lakes." Cao Jixiang said angrily, shook his hand and turned around and walked out the door.

Yang Chuskirt returned to the house and looked at Shen Jiannan silently, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry in her heart, and she didn't know what to say this, so she was silent for a while. Shen Jiannan seemed to be a thief, revealing what he was hiding in his heart at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Chu Skirt, you have heard it, it is this matter that has always worried me, I ........" ”

"I won't blame you, I didn't expect that the little prince I have been looking for on the rivers and lakes turned out to be you, and I don't know if I should be happy or what to do after hearing this news, in short, I am also very entangled." Yang Chu's skirt never moved her gaze, her two eyes were watery, blinking, and glowing with spring waves.

Shen Jiannan sighed: "Actually, I have never been sure in my heart that I am the prince they are looking for. ”

"If you were really the prince, would you go back to the palace?" Yang Chu's sad eyes were a little embarrassed.

"Then would you rather be a princess or a cottage lady?" Shen Jiannan asked rhetorically.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Yang Chuskirt said lightly.

Shen Jiannan was at a loss in his heart, he didn't hear her complete answer, and he didn't know what to say about his reply, but after carefully weighing it in his heart, he felt that he was really not suitable to be a prince, and he was already used to the life of the rivers and lakes, so it was better to just go with the flow. At the moment, he said: "I am now accustomed to the rivers and lakes, it seems that the palace has nothing to do with me, but if you don't want to suffer with me on the rivers and lakes, I will take you back to the palace." ”

"No, you have to do it according to your own will, don't think about me, as long as I follow you, I will be happy everywhere, I don't seek glory and wealth, I just want to be with you, no matter how bitter I am." Yang Chu's skirt said from the bottom of her heart, so that Shen Jiannan could no longer control a man's feelings, and immediately stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. Feel the warmth that each other's bodies bring to each other.

When night fell, Shen Jiannan came to his mother's room, only to see his mother making the bed, it seemed that she was ready to sleep, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Jiannan standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with my son?" Why don't you come in? ”

Shen Jiannan stepped forward, and Yang Chu's skirt came behind her with her hands behind her back, Jiannanniang was so curious, she didn't understand what the two of them were going to do.

"Auntie, look, this is a new dress bought for you, put it on quickly, let's see." Yang Chu's skirt took out a big bag from her back, opened it, it was a piece of clothing, and she came to the mirror with Jian Nanniang around her and helped her put it on.

"Wow, my aunt is so beautiful." Yang Chuskirt screamed in surprise.

Jian Nanniang put on her new clothes, turned around, and said with a smile: "I'm so uncomfortable wearing new clothes that I don't know how to walk." ”

Shen Jiannan watched his mother put on new clothes, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, I said that I would sell firewood to make a new dress for my mother, but I didn't let my mother wear it until today, I was really useless, and I made my mother wait for so long." ”

"My son, it doesn't matter if my mother wears new clothes or not, as long as you're safe." Jian Nanniang's brief words showed that this was a prayer for her mother for her son.

"Mother, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Shen Jiannan calmed down and said with a smile.

"Whatever you want, just say it." Jian Nanniang replied happily.

"It seems that our family can't live anymore, Cao Jixiang has already set his eyes on it, he will still come to annoy you, and the people on the rivers and lakes will find this place sooner or later, for the safety of our mother, so we will move tomorrow." Shen Jiannan sighed.

"Moving? Where to move? Jian Nanniang asked in surprise.

Shen Jiannan said with a smile: "Let's go to Xiaoshan, there are ten of my brothers there, collectively referred to as the Ten Masters of Xiaoshan, I have married them, and it is also my home, brothers are very welcome to go, they will take care of you like their own mother." ”

"Yes, they are all so enthusiastic, you go there, and I am by your side every day, you will not be lonely." Yang Chuskirt said with a smile.

Jian Nanniang was reluctant in her heart, after all, she had lived here for so long, and it was really unbearable to say that she wanted to leave for a while, and said lightly at the moment: "Actually, I have already looked down on life and death for my mother, my mother has lived here for twenty years, and I am used to it, I am afraid that I will bring trouble to your brothers when I go to Xiaoshan." ”

Shen Jiannan pleaded again and again: "Mother, just listen to me, from now on, I will let you enjoy happiness, even if it is a little filial piety of a child." ”

Yang Chuskirt also added fuel to the fire: "Yes, aunt, you should know when you get there, how good it is there, not to mention that my father is also here, and you two old people usually have a talking companion." ”

Jian Nanniang finally couldn't resist the repeated requests of these two people, but still agreed, but sighed again and again.

It was dawn, Shen Jiannan spent money to buy a carriage from outside, Jiannan Niang put all the things she used before, Yang Chu's skirt was helping, Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Mother, those are useless, Xiaoshan has everything, the carriage is not so big, if you move up, you and Miss Yang will have no place to sit." ”

"Okay, I'll just move a few things, there are some things that my mother is really reluctant to throw away." Jian Nanniang said while cleaning up.

The things were finally moved, the three of them got into the car, Shen Jiannan set up the car, and the two of them were sitting in the car.

"Drive." Shen Jiannan shouted, and the carriage galloped towards Xiaoshan, Shen Jiannan couldn't wait to reach Xiaoshan in an instant at this time, this mood was like an arrow, and there were many scenery along the way that he was too lazy to watch.

The two girls in the car were chatting and laughing, Shen Jiannan was relieved, it was really good that these two people could get along so well.
