After eating, the old butler had already ordered someone to prepare new clothes for us, and had already loaded the big box of silver on the carriage, and put it on the carriage, so that we could go on our way.

- Brother Hanqing, do you know how to drive?

I helped Xia Hong into the carriage, and Nian He had already sat in the carriage, and he must not move to guard this large box of silver.

- I'll try, it should be.

In my world, I have learned to ride horses, and my skills are still good, but I don't know if the horses here can understand "driving" and "calling".

- Then you drive, Brother Hanqing.

The reason why Xia Hong let me drive was because he didn't want the people in the house to follow us.

- So where do we go?

I lifted the curtain of the carriage.

- Either let's go back to the Land Temple first. It's too ostentatious to carry this silver with you.

Xia Hong poked his head out and said to me.

I already knew the way back, and we walked unhurriedly and carefully until the evening before returning to the Land Temple.

We were too careful along the way, and a pedestrian came across on the road, and the hearts of the three of us were in our throats.

So we barely communicated along the way, and our minds were full of wonders if this box of silver could reach its destination safely and smoothly.

-It's finally here, and I'm scared to death all the way.

I helped Xia Hong get out of the carriage, and Xia Hong stretched his waist while not forgetting to see if there was anything unusual around the broken temple.

During the safety period, the first thing we did here was to take a lot of effort to get this box of hundreds of catties of silver off the carriage and carry it into the side hall of the broken temple, I invited Xia Hong to say that he was in the same room with us at night, and I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night, and she could feel more at ease when she guarded this box of silver.

In the evening, Nianhe prepared some forage for the horses, went to the mountain to fetch some water, and then we sat around the side hall of the ruined temple.

The difference this time was that Nian He did not sit at the low table with me, but sat alone on the box, and it was clear that Nian He was as nervous about the box as we were.

- Hong'er, what are you going to do next?

- What are the plans of Brother Hanqing?

-In this world, in addition to being your brother, except for being the eldest brother of Nianhe, I haven't found any other positioning, so where you two are, I'll be there.

- But I don't know what to do next.

- Big brother, either we can stay at my house, it's good here, I will dig wild vegetables for you and Sister Hong'er every day, hunt and eat.

- Stinky boy, then if you say that, what is the use of this box of things under your ass, what do we want it for?

- I'll just say we don't take it.

-Hey, you stinky boy, you don't want to think about it, it's okay for our two big men to live here every day, your sister Hong'er is a girl, can you bear to let her sleep on the ground all the time? Besides, it's not safe to keep this box of silver here.

- Also, what do you say we should change, big brother,

Nian He looked at me innocently.

- Hong'er, let's go back to the capital.

- Brother Hanqing, didn't I say it, I can't go home now.

- Who said that you have to go home, we can sneak into the city, find a place to live first, and then you and Miss Xia Mu and Miss Xia Qing will report their safety, now they don't have any news from you, they must be worried about death.

- Yes, even if I don't tell my father, I'm still talking, but I want Mu'er and Qing'er to know that I'm in a good situation now.

- Then we will go back to the capital tomorrow.

Early the next morning, we again put the big box into the carriage, and the three of us set out on the way back to the capital.

-Nianhe, we may all have to live in the capital recently, will you miss here?

-No, my home is where my eldest brother and sister Hong'er are!

- Okay, go.

-Drive!

In fact, the capital city is not very far from this ruined temple, and after walking for about half an hour, we entered the city, and the guards at the city gate did not seem to be nervous about what happened two days ago. We walked on the bustling streets of the capital, the streets were still as lively as usual, there was an endless stream of pedestrians, there were many merchants, and there were all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, everyone spoke different accents, and shouted and sold, some bought goods, some bargained, and some met and greeted. A peaceful scene.

-Hong'er, I don't know this capital, where are we going?

-Let's go to Meifu to find Mu'er first, we will rashly look for Qing'er at my house, and we will definitely let my father know, let's go to Mei's house to call Mu'er out first.

Under the guidance of Xia Hong, we came to the back door of the Mei Mansion, Xia Hong instructed Nianhe to take Xia Hong's bracelet and hand it to the Mei family's subordinates, and let people give this bracelet to the Mei family's son, Mei Yuchen, the captain of the Chengwei Mansion, Mei Yuchen has seen this bracelet, and Mei Yuchen Xia Mu and his wife are childlike, seeing that this is Xia Hong's bracelet, Mei Yuchen will definitely give the bracelet to Xia Mu, Xia Mu will come out to meet Xia Hong when he knows the news of the eldest sister.

Xia Hong's mind is still very delicate.

After about a cup of tea, a richly dressed girl came out of the back door of the Mei Mansion, and she knew that this was the young lady of a big family, and it was no one else who came out, it was the second lady of the Xia family who had met for two days, the eldest young lady of the Mei family, Xia Mu.

- Big sister, is that you?

I lowered my head, Xia Mu didn't recognize me, but walked straight out of the carriage window.

- Mu'er.

Xia Hong heard this familiar voice and immediately lifted the curtain of the car.

-Eldest sister, I'm relieved to see that you're okay, I've been worried about Qing'er and me for the past two days.

But his eldest sister was safe and sound, and Xia Mu's excited eyes were red.

-This is not the place to talk, Miss Xia Mu gets into the carriage first, let's find a safe place.

- It's you, Tang Gongzi.

I helped Xia Mu into the carriage.

-It's been Brother Hanqing protecting me these days.

- Brother Hanqing?

Facing Xia Mu's questioning, Xia Hong lowered his head shyly, and the flush on his cheeks spread to the root of his ears.

However, what does Brother Han Qing have to blush? Could it be?

- Miss Xia Mu, is there any safe place, don't talk about it yet, I'm afraid Hong'er will be in danger if someone finds out here!

-Hong'er? You guys?

Xia Mu glanced at Xia Hong, and looked at me in disbelief, her current expression is not an exaggeration to describe it in one of our current words~ Gossip!

- Miss Xia, can we find a safe place to chat again?

Xia Mu kept staring at me for a long time.

- Then let's go to Huajin Villa.

- Huajin Annex?

Xia Hong knew that this place was a mansion near the Imperial Palace in the capital. But she didn't know what the mansion had to do with her sister.

- Yes, this is the dowry that my mother gave me in private, and no one knows about this place except me and my mother.

-Erniang? Why didn't you support her mention it before?

It turned out that Xia Hong and Xia Mu were not born to the same mother, Xia Hong's mother had died many years ago, and his father later married two wives, and the second mother in Xia Hong's mouth was her father Xia Zhonglu's second wife, Jiang.

The Jiang family gave birth to two daughters for the Xia family, Xia Mu, the second daughter of the Xia family, and Xia Qing, the fourth daughter of the Xia family, but because Xia Hong lost his mother since he was a child, Xia Hong was brought up by the Jiang family since he was a child, and the Jiang family has always treated Xia Hong as his own, so although Xia Hong is called the second mother of the Jiang family, it is similar to his own mother.

Later, Xia Zhonglu continued to have a wife, who was the biological mother of Xia Chun, the third daughter of the Xia family, Wang, but Wang Su and Jiang were not in harmony, so among the four children of the Xia family, Xia Hong, Xia Mu and Xia Qing were relatively close, and they were a little farther away emotionally from Xia Chun, so in the past few days, Xia Hong has often talked about his second sister Mu'er and his fourth sister Qing'er, but his third sister Xia Chun rarely mentions it.

These things were later learned from Xia Hong's mouth in a conversation with her.

- All said, this is the dowry that my mother secretly prepared for me without telling my father, others may know? But since I married into the Mei family, I haven't been in this Huajin Villa once.

- Can't you even tell me?

- Oh, eldest sister, my mother has also prepared a set of houses for you and Qing'er, but Qing'er has not yet married, and you are in too much of a hurry to get married this time, my mother has been preparing for your marriage and has not told you about it yet.

-Mu'er, I didn't mean that, Erniang treated me like a daughter since I was a child, I remember Erniang's kindness.

Xia Mu thought that Xia Hong was jealous, so he explained.

During the sisters' caring conversation, Xia Mu guided me to drive the carriage to what she called the Huajin Courtyard.

This mansion is much smaller than the mansions of Xia Mansion and Mei Mansion, maybe the location is better, this place is very close to the palace, it may be the relationship between every inch of land.

But from the design and style of this house alone, it is quite good.

Huajin Villa is said to be a house, but it is actually a relatively large courtyard, but in addition to the gatehouse and the wings on both sides, there is a floor above the main hall, which is a two-story small building, and the courtyard of this pattern can only be seen near the palace.

Walking into the courtyard, you will see a small lotus pond, it is now midsummer, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and there are a few koi swimming in the water.

In the middle of the yard is a bluestone path, the left side of the path is this lotus pond, the right side of the path is a gazebo, the gazebo is lying on the grape trellis, and a double swing is hung on one side of the pavilion, which is really suitable for enjoying the shade here in the evening of this season.

The left wing room should be a utility room, but it can also be used to live in the right wing, and the right wing room has been changed to a kitchen, and there were originally three rooms in a row of the main room, but it was opened up to make a large living room. Follow the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, where there are all bedrooms, and there are three bedrooms side by side.

The layout of this courtyard is also very particular even now, and with this location, it must be worth a lot.

- Miss Xia, I didn't expect your mother to be quite rich.

I looked around the courtyard and looked at Xia Mu and said.

But it seems a little impolite to say this. So Xia Hong pulled my sleeve and reminded me.

- Brother Han Qing.

- I mean, Lingtang's vision is still very good, and he can buy such a beautiful yard.

I tried to pick up the words from the ground again.

- This is not bought, this is also my mother's dowry back then.

Although I saved Xia Mu's sister, I can see that Xia Mu and I still have a sense of distance. Talking to me is also not a word of nonsense. Even if I said something inappropriate and impolite just now, she still took my words, which may be the etiquette of a large family. In other words, it is to give his eldest sister a face.

-Eldest sister, you settle down here now, and you can live with peace of mind in the future, it's safe here, and no one will bother you at ordinary times, I'll go back to the house first, call Qing'er, you don't know, how worried she is about you these days, and she lost her temper with her father at home.

-Mu'er, I've worried you these days, you have to be cautious when you go home, and don't mention the news of my return to anyone else, including Erniang.

-Don't worry, big sister, I'll come when I go.

After speaking, Xia Mu went out.

In the courtyard, Xia Hong and two people who had never seen the market and Nianhe were left.

Since entering the capital, Nian He has hardly spoken much, probably because he is very unfamiliar with the environment of the capital, and another reason should be that he never thought that one day he would change from a homeless or even unclothed little beggar to what he is now.

Nian He and I moved the big silver box to the corner of the main hall, followed Xia Hong to look around in this courtyard, we went upstairs Xia Hong arranged a bedroom for us, Xia Hong lived in the middle of the room, and the largest bedroom, Nian He was very restrained, asked for the smallest one on the right, and I naturally lived near the one on the far right side of the stairs.

Not long after the arrangement, we were thinking about going back to the ancestral house to steal a large box of silver, how to tell Xia Mu and Xia Qing the two sisters, the gate of the courtyard was gently pushed open.

Xia Mu and Xia Qing walked in one after the other.

Xia Qing saw Xia Hong and immediately flew over, not at all reserved as everyone's ladies.

-Eldest sister, where have you run away in the past two days, Qing'er is worried to death.

-I'm not back.

The picture of the two sisters hugging each other is really very warm.

-I haven't had time to introduce it, this is my savior, Xia Hanqing Xia Gongzi, this is Xia Gongzi's sworn brother, Nian He.

- These two are my two younger sisters, Mu'er you met just now, this is the fourth sister Xia Qing.

Xia Hong introduced us one by one.

- Two sisters are good.

Nian He greeted the two girls with great respect.

- Miss Four, we meet again.

I also politely greeted the two girls.

-It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, eldest sister, it was I who asked Tang Gongzi to save you.

Xia Qing pointed at me and said to Xia Hong.

-Qing'er is the best for her eldest sister.

- Sister, then I'm not good to you?

- It's all good.

Nianhe and I watched the three sisters reunite on the side, and we were really happy for them.
