Chapter 420: Reunited after a long absence

After Shao Xi asked Ning'er to leave, he called Fu Biao into the room again.

"Fu Biao, is there any news of the mission returning to Kyoto in the near future?"

"Yes! It's just that Childe has been out for too long this time, and the family is looking forward to Childe's early return, so recently, the little one often goes to the Egret Academy to ask Mr. Bai about the news of the mission.

"I heard Mr. Bai say that the mission has sent someone back to Kyoto in advance to deliver the letter, and the mission will probably return to Kyoto in the next two days, but I didn't expect Gongzi to come back early." Shao Xi nodded, thinking about what he would have to deal with after returning to Daliang.

The top priority is to enter the palace to hand over to Xiao Changyi, this trip to Nanzhao has temporarily eliminated the hidden dangers in the south of the Jingyuan Empire, and has also received a clear answer from Zhao Hongjin, the little emperor of Nanzhao, which should be good news for Xiao Changyi.

As an envoy of the mission, the first thing he should do after returning to Kyoto is to enter the palace to face the saint and return the results of the envoy to the saint.

The next thing is to go to the Egret Academy to greet the two old gentlemen, Bai Ding Gong and Liu Xingzhai, after all, this walk is half a year, as Bai Ding Gong's protégé, he should hurry up and go to greet him, which is also the duty of being a protégé.

By the way, let's also go to see how the paper mill and printing workshop run by these two old gentlemen for themselves are running now?

At the same time, I also want to inquire about the results of Bai Jinqing and the others' spring exams, if they are all successful in high school, these people should have been appointed by the imperial court, and they should already have official bodies at this time.

I don't know what the business of my bookstore is doing now? And then I don't know what happened to the Yuyantang that I founded myself?

Now it's full of students? When these things are dealt with, I have to go with Lao Wu to the old site of Jingci Nunnery, although it is now a ruin, but according to what Pu Jing said at the beginning, the things left by his mother should still be there.

Still have to hurry up and get the things back, Shao Xi also wants to know what Baili Yingxue left for Feng Yuyan back then?

Although it was guessed that it would be a sword book and a weapon, every time he thought about it, Shao Xi always felt itchy in his heart, wanting to know what it was?

In addition, Dali Temple also has to take a trip, and it was arranged for Long Qitai to stare at Xiao Liuzi, I don't know what I have found in the past six months?

The matter of entering the palace and going to the White Egret Academy needs to leave early tomorrow morning, while other things can be postponed a little and are not particularly urgent.

Shao Xi plans to go to Mingfengfang tonight, Mei Ruoyan's matter has always made him feel unsure, no matter if he can ask something, he must meet her first when he comes back, and some things can only be said after meeting.

And this time, Shao Xi plans to be frank and frank with Mei Ruoyan, and ask her directly if he wants to ask anything, he doesn't want to be like those officials in the DPRK and China, and try in every way.

Shao Xi believes that as long as Mei Ruoyan is willing to tell herself, she will definitely say that if she is unwilling to tell herself, it is meaningless to try it, and if the two of them still need to use such scheming, then everything that the two of them promised each other before will be meaningless.

"Fu Biao, you also go and change your clothes, and accompany me to Mingfengfang tonight."

"Yes, Childe! The little ones are going to prepare. Of course Fu Biao knew what Shao Xi was for taking him to Mingfengfang tonight, since he had already told Shao Xi what he had discovered, if Shao Xi wanted to go to investigate one or two, of course he would accompany Shao Xi to listen to his master's orders.

No matter what decision Shao Xi makes, Fu Biao will cooperate unconditionally. After dinner, Shao Xi said hello to Lao Wu and Ning'er, and then took Fu Biao out to Mingfengfang.

Kyoto Beam Castle is still as prosperous as ever, although it is September and the weather is getting cooler, it is the time of high autumn air, but the lively scene in the city is not reduced at all.

People will still take to the streets at night, enjoying the hustle and bustle of Daliang City. Although he had been away from Daliang City for half a year, Shao Xi was not in the mood to enjoy the night view of Kyoto at this time, but took Fu Biao all the way to Mingfengfang.

At this time, the doubts in his heart needed to be answered, but more of them were the excitement of meeting Mei Ruoyan.

In the depths of Shao Xi's heart, no matter what Mei Ruoyan hid from herself, no matter what purpose she approached her, but before all this was revealed, she was still the Mei Ruoyan she once knew, and she was still the woman she had been thinking about for a long time.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Mingfeng Fang, they were recognized by the maid in charge of picking up customers at the door, and hurriedly greeted them and respectfully let the two into the workshop.

At this time, Mother Yang, who was entertaining guests in the hall, turned her head and saw Shao Xi, with a smile on her face, and trotted all the way to greet her.

"Oops! Childe, you are back, you have been gone for half a year, but it is bitter that Mei girl, all day long, she has a sad face, sighs, and complains that you left her behind.

"Now that the son is finally back, I'm going to call Mei girl, you two must have a lot to say when you two reunite after a long absence, I'll go and prepare some wine and food for Fei'er's girl to send you upstairs." Shao Xi saw that Mother Yang was still as enthusiastic as before, and naturally knew that she was half sincere and half polite, after all, now that she was the real boss of Mingfengfang, she naturally wanted to be closer.

What's more, Mei Ruoyan is still her righteous daughter in name, and with her relationship with Mei Ruoyan, Mother Yang will naturally do everything she can.

As for what she said about Mei Ruoyan's sad face, sighing, just listen to it, with Shao Xi's understanding of Mei Ruoyan, she is by no means the kind of person who is sentimental and moans without illness.

Mother Yang walked all the way in front, and Shao Xi took Fu Biao to follow Mother Yang all the way upstairs and came to Mei Ruoyan's door.

At this time, Fei'er was standing in front of the door at any time to listen to Mei Ruoyan's call, and when she saw Shao Xi coming with Mother Yang, a hint of surprise flashed on her face, followed by panic that could not be concealed.

Although Fei'er was trying to pretend to be calm, Shao Xi could still see from her face that her arrival seemed to make her feel too sudden, as if she had come at an inopportune time.

However, Shao Xi didn't show anything immediately, but shook the folding fan as before, looking at Fei'er happily, Fei'er hurriedly walked up to Shao Xi and bowed and said hello.

Shao Xi nodded with a smile and asked softly, "Ruo Yan is here?" How is she doing in the six months since I left Kyoto? Fei'er nodded a little unnaturally and replied: "Thanks to the son, everything is fine with the girl!" Please wait here, and I'll go in and tell the girl that I'm back. Mother Yang on the side also said happily to Fei'er: "Go, go!" Childe has been gone for half a year and finally came back, hasn't Mei Yatou been looking forward to Childe's return? Let her come out and meet Childe! Fei'er didn't answer, but just raised her eyes and glanced at Mother Yang, her eyes were a little complicated.

Walking to the door, Fei'er unconsciously glanced back at Shao Xi, and saw that Shao Xi was looking at herself, so she quickly turned her head back, opened the door as quickly as possible, and then flashed into the door and closed the door immediately.

Her behavior made Shao Xi feel really abnormal, it should have been a happy thing for Mei Ruoyan to come back, Fei'er, as Mei Ruoyan's personal maid, should be the master and servant, and she should be happy to see her come back.

At this time, she seemed a little nervous and reluctant, and even opened the door and entered the room so cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would inadvertently see the scene in the room.

Is there something in the room that you are afraid of seeing? What is Mei Ruoyan doing in the room?

Why did Phil be so wary of herself? Although Shao Xi had these questions in his heart, his face did not show the slightest expression, but deliberately chatted loudly with Mother Yang, as if telling the people in the room that he was outside the door at this time.

At the same time, he had already given Fu Biao a look out of the corner of his eye, and Fu Biao immediately understood, turned around and went downstairs out of Mingfengfang, and went directly to the backyard of Mingfengfang.

Did Shao Xi ask Fu Biao to go to the backyard to see what Mei Ruoyan's back window was, did someone leave from the back window or threw something out of the back window?

Since there is something in the room that you are afraid of seeing, you should either hide it in the room or dispose of it from the back window before you enter the room.

With Mei Ruoyan's understanding of Shao Xi, she must know that refusing to come out to see Shao Xi for so long will definitely arouse Shao Xi's suspicions, if she hides things in the room, she will inevitably be discovered by Shao Xi, and the hasty handling can only be through the back window.

So at this time, Shao Xi predicted Mei Ruoyan's prediction, and arranged for Fu Biao to go to the back window to check in advance, if something was really thrown out of the back window, Fu Biao would find out as soon as possible.

After a while, this moment was far beyond the time when Fei'er should enter the room to report normally, only to see the door slowly open, Mei Ruoyan was still wearing a red dress, and slowly walked out of the room.

The moment she saw Shao Xi, she showed a happy smile on her face, just because Mother Yang and Fei'er were present, she tried her best to control her emotions and came to Shao Xi to give a salute, and said: "You are finally back, this trip is half a year, can everything go smoothly in this mission to Nanzhao?" Shao Xi smiled and nodded, and replied: "Although there are some twists and turns, but fortunately, in the end, it still lived up to the trust of the saint, and everything went smoothly!" I rushed back ahead of time after taking care of all the things that needed to be done, and the mission should be back in Kyoto in the next two days. ”

"It's good if it goes well! Let's go to the room and talk! I asked Fei'er to prepare some wine and food, and it can be regarded as me picking up the wind and washing the dust for you, and I have a lot to say to you for half a year. Hearing Mei Ruoyan say this, Mother Yang pulled Fei'er downstairs very interestingly, and shouted as she walked: "Yes, yes, yes!" The two of you have been apart for so long, so naturally you have a lot to say, so I will go with Fei'er to prepare wine and food, and you two will talk in the room for a while. Seeing Mother Yang and Fei'er go downstairs, Shao Xi reached out and took Mei Ruoyan's hand, and the two walked into the room together......
