The days are getting warmer, and it's a good time to travel.

Murong Xi sat in the carriage with a happy heart, and among the accompanying items, backgammon was naturally indispensable.

From time to time, I watched the scenery outside the car, and from time to time I played chess with Jiang Huaiyin.

During the seven-day journey, she had the illusion that the years were quiet.

Before entering the city gate, several people got out of the carriage, disguised themselves as merchants, and stepped into the city gate on foot.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed beautiful, not only the scenery, but also the beauties met on the way.

Murong Xi occasionally stared at the women of the good family for a while, and secretly sighed why she didn't dress as a man?

With her medical school doctor's knowledge reserve, she will definitely be able to break through the world in this Qianguo, not to mention, she will definitely be able to gain a lot of beautiful hearts.

"Pretty sister, buy a comb, right?"

A little boy who looked like he was eight or nine years old, carrying a bamboo basket, walked towards Murong Xi and reached out to grab the hem of her skirt.

Just when his fingers were about to touch her, a shadow suddenly covered his body, and his wrist was grabbed by a cold big hand, the little boy blinked, looked at his handsome but unusually cold face, and said sneeringly: "Big brother, buy a comb for my sister-in-law?" ”

Sister-in-law? Jiang Huaiyin raised his eyebrows.

The detached and defensive expression suddenly disappeared, and he looked at the little boy with a smile, "You give me a reason to buy your comb." ”

"Big brother must be from out of town." The little boy didn't blink his eyes, and he already felt that the beauty in front of him was incomprehensible.

The brother who came out in the middle of the way was also so dusty.

The little boy looked at Jiang Huaiyin in a daze, and said bluntly: "There is a saying in Jiangnan that a man gives a comb to his favorite woman, and the woman accepts it, which means that the two will grow old together and be together for a hundred years." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, little kid?" Murong Ji looked coquettish, and hummed with her hands on her chest: "Did your family tell you that?" Want you to sell more? ”

Murong Xi doesn't believe in something that only appears in aesthetic novels.

As for customs, Murong Xi felt that at the age of a little boy, it was not the time to understand these things at all.

He said, "Where is your family?" If I teach them a lesson, how can I teach children indiscriminately? ”

"Beautiful sister-in-law, what I said is true, in Jiangnan, this is something that three-year-olds know. Not to mention that I'm not a three-year-old anymore. The little boy was dressed in shabby, but his eyes were bright, and when he spoke of adults, he looked innocent.

Murong Xi was amused by his explanation, "Then how old are you?" ”

"I'm eight years old!" The little boy took out a comb from the bamboo basket, held it high and handed it to Jiang Huaiyin, "Brother, can I buy it?" ”

"I've got it all." Jiang Huaiyin waved his hand and motioned for Yelan to pay, but the little boy hugged the bamboo basket tightly, "No, I can only give one handful, which means a couple for a lifetime." ”

The little boy said with great seriousness.

"Poof!" Murong Xi couldn't help it, half-squatted down, let his eyes be level with the little boy, gently tugged at his ear and said, "You still say that your family didn't teach you?" Is this what you should say at your age? ”

Murong Xi suddenly had a trace of doubt in her heart, and approached the little boy and said, "Heavenly King Cover Earth Tiger? ”

The little boy's face was red, this was the first time he had been so close to a young and beautiful woman other than his mother.

He hung his head and hesitated, "What, what tiger?"

"It's comb money." Jiang Huaiyin was inexplicably in a good mood, especially the little boy who called "sister-in-law" one by one, and one by one "one person for a lifetime", this state of mind seems to be more useful than the "Goddess Treasure Book" given to him by Gongsun Jin.

The little boy looked at the silver ingots in the bamboo basket, which he had never seen before.

After being stunned for a moment, I looked up again and saw that my beautiful sister had been dragged away by my big brother.

It's just that the beautiful sister is still staring at him all the time, and she is gesturing with gestures that he can't understand-

This time when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, Jiang Huaiyin needed to hide his identity.

Maybe for him, the best mask is to do the exact opposite of what he usually does alone.

When she was still wondering if the little boy was a time-traveler like her, a peachwood comb was suddenly placed in her hand, she was stunned, and then received it in her arms as if nothing had happened.

Give her a comb, but it's just for others to see.

Otherwise, with Jiang Huaiyin's graceful and delicate appearance, if he refuses to spend even these few dollars, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

In any case, she would not think about a love token!

She took the comb.

The corners of Jiang Huaiyin's lips hooked slightly.

Does it mean that you will be a couple for a lifetime?

The two had different thoughts, walked around the city for a long time, and finally came to the mansion where they settled.

The mansion is a courtyard of three entrances, and the building is also a unique style in the south of the Yangtze River, and the structure on the eaves is different from the cold style of the capital, which has a unique atmosphere.

Even the subordinates in the house are also natives of Jiangnan.

The woman is just that, and her gestures are a little tender and gentle.

The man also whispered softly, and Murong Xi was a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Huaiyin went straight to the study when she entered the door, and she followed the maidservant to the back house.

While walking and watching, he sighed at the delicate atmosphere of the courtyard, and asked the maidservant seemingly casually, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the princess, slave Xiaoqian."

Murong Xi: "...... Xiaoqian, I heard that there is a mountain villa in Jiangcheng, the scenery is very elegant, what is it called? ”

"The princess is asking about Yuhu Villa?" Xiaoqian is a good-looking girl, and she has been smiling faintly when she answers, but she is also respectful.

Murong Xi liked it very much, and nodded: "Yes, it is the Jade Lake Villa." Is the lodge far from here? ”

"Back to the princess, the villa is in the west of the city, and it is said that it is a villa, but it is just a courtyard built on a hill. It's not far away, but the villa has been locked down recently, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Xiao Qian said in her mouth, her footsteps were not idle, and after seven turns and eight turns, she led Murong Xi to the wing room where she was going to live.

"If the princess is not satisfied with the layout here, she can call the slave maid at any time."

Murong Xi waved his hand frequently, "Satisfied, satisfied, you go get busy first." ”

I can't live left and right for a few days, and I'm too lazy to toss if I'm not satisfied.

What's more, she has always recognized Jiang Huaiyin's aesthetics, and the layout here is less luxurious than that of the Bashu Palace and the Regent's Mansion in the capital, but it is more exquisite.

Every single one of them feels like home.

Closing the door, Murong Xi hugged her from the tiredness she had endured for many days, she lay on the couch in a big shape, and said to the white heron: "White Egret, I'll sleep for a while, you have to help me inquire about the Royal Lake Villa when you are free." ”

The egret should have been, and withdrew.

Murong Xi turned over on the couch, Xu was in a good mood, and the corners of her lips were unconsciously hooked, and she began to think about what kind of congratulatory gift she wanted to give Dongfang Li.

There was a sudden throbbing pain in her abdomen, and she quickly turned over and touched it with her hand, and she was feeling out a peach wood comb.

There is still a red tassel hanging from one end of the comb, and at the root of the tassel, there is a - concentric knot!
