The carriage staggered and finally arrived at the boundary of Moon City in the middle of the month.

Juyue City, also known as the first big city on the border, is located in the south, the people are rich and rich, and the water town is quiet. There are twelve towns under the city of Juyuecheng, like the Wang family who was promoted to Beijing as the shipping envoy, and the assistant governor Zhizhou is in charge of river engineering, water conservancy and other things.

The Wang family is not a famous official household in the capital, but it is still ranked first in the city of the moon, and the descendants of the Wang family entered Beijing, but most of the Wang family's Lianli Tongzhi is still rooted in the city of the moon.

As early as ten days ago, the Wang family wrote a letter back to the Chengyue City, asking the Wang family to take care of the Ningbei Houfu family who returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors in the Yuecheng.

No, the sky was white, and the side branch of the Wang family sent the eldest son to wait at the gate of the city to greet him.

Enter the city and walk through the Beidou Gate in the south of the capital, the four towers on the city tower, the sky is cloudy, and the black clusters are like four fierce beasts with teeth and claws looking down at the city.

The sky was bright.

Shen Ci, who was wearing a dark red brocade cloak, rode at the front of the team, and when he was about to reach the city gate, a small soldier came in a hurry, and the two said a few words, and Shen Ci handed over the customs clearance documents to him.

Xiao Bing opened it and took a look, and immediately his legs were weak and he didn't fall, and arched his hand: "The little one doesn't know that it turned out to be the carriage and horse of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei, and the small one will be notified and released!" ”

The carriage team entered the Beidou Gate, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, "But the Shen family of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei?" Shen Ci looked at the sound and saw a wide car parked on the side of the street.

Early in the morning, a tall young man with a melon skin hat and a cyan cloak stood under the cart, and there were several strange middle-aged men beside him, who looked like they were dressed as family members.

Mama Xuan opened the curtains when she heard the voice: "But the old man of the Wang family?" ”

The little melon hat ran forward and arched his hand: "Exactly, my eldest aunt came to Feng Jiajia a few days ago, saying that the carriage of the Ningbei Hou Mansion arrived this morning and ordered me to meet here, and also said that Old Lady Shen has not returned to Yuecheng for decades, so let me wait to lead the way." ”

Mama Xuan smiled: "The fog is heavy on a spring morning, it's hard for the Wang family to wait here, please lead the way." ”

The city is not as wide as the four long streets and eight districts of the capital, but it has attracted many people from other places because of its unique living advantages.

Walking from the Beidou Gate to the Nanqu Gate, many vendors on the side arranged the items that should be sold today, and the shops were steaming white fog early, and the courtyard gates at the streets and alleys also began to be cleaned.

Ye Lingwu was lying on the window, looking at the prosperity of the early morning in the city of Guilty Moon City, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he might be more looking forward to the days when he was not in the capital.

The carriage procession slowly stopped in front of a large mansion, and in front of the gate stood a row of servants, a row of female envoys.

Ye Lingwu helped Mrs. Shen get out of the carriage, looked at the clean and old word "Shen Mansion" on the plaque of the mansion, and said: "Old lady, it seems that someone has cleaned this mansion in advance." ”

The melon skin hat stepped forward and said: "Yes, my mother sent me to lead the small house in the house to tidy up and renovate inside and out three days ago, and the old lady should rest assured that this house is guaranteed to live in the capital." ”

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the young man in front of her and said, "You kid is quite sensible, what's your name and how old is you?" ”

The melon skin hat bowed and said softly: "Back to the old lady, I am called Wang Xuzhou, I am fifteen years old this year." ”

Old Madam Shen nodded and boasted, "I can take care of things at a young age, and I am indeed better than my grandson." ”

The grandson who was "degraded" leaned against the wall of the car expressionlessly, and did not refute Mrs. Shen's words. But Shen Paner said: "Grandmother blames her for talking about the second brother, I see that the second brother is quite capable of doing things along the way, right, Sister Lingwu?" ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Shen Ci's gaze looking at her, she pursed her lips and said, "Yes, the second son's journey is still quite hard." ”

Shen Ci curled the corners of his mouth.

Wang Xuzhou led everyone into the house. The old mansion of the Shen family has a history of nearly 100 years, and the giant trees and ancient trees in the house envelop the entire mansion, which is vast and deep.

The mansion is not divided into inner and outer courtyards, except for a lobby, there are two courtyards in the back, the west courtyard lives men, and the east courtyard lives girls.

Ye Lingwu followed the female envoy to the east courtyard, only to feel that the eyes were cheerful, the ancient verandah exudes a quiet and far-reaching atmosphere like a paradise, although it is not as rich as the carved gallery of the capital, the style is rich, but the mansion is antique and has a unique charm.

If you want to say that the busiest person after entering the mansion is Mama Xuan, leading the female envoy sent by the Wang family to shuttle around the mansion, just coming to the old Shen Mansion to handle everything in her hands, and she didn't even drink saliva, which is really admirable.

The bedroom where Ye Lingwu and Shen Pan'er live is separated by a wall, and the bedroom only has a place to stand on the cone, and there is an old elm sleeper placed against the wall inside, with a futon on it, and there is a changing screen and dresser, and then there is a table and chair that is not too big or small.

It is not comparable to the capital, but it is also clean and warm.

Ye Lingwu didn't have many belongings, one burden was enough, after all, Mrs. Shen made it clear before leaving, going back to her hometown to worship her ancestors is not to go back to her hometown to put on a score to enjoy, and she has to be low-key when she tries it, so even the little maid on the side of the junior of the Shen family didn't bring any of them.

After packing up the things, it was close to noon, Ye Lingwu went to the kitchen to help, the female envoy who worked in the kitchen was named Tian Fu and the other was named Chu'er, the two of them were skilled in cooking and had a unique skill.

Ye Lingwu didn't even have a chance to make a move.

At this moment, the courtyard suddenly became lively and laughing, Ye Lingwu went out to take a look, and saw Shen Ci stepping on the stone trough on the side and jumping onto the tree. What a boy who became dissolute when he came to his hometown.

A loquat tree was planted in the yard, and it was in the fruiting period.

Shen Pan'er stood under the tree and muttered about the biggest one, Shen Ci ignored it, and looked at Ye Lingwu on the corridor: "Does my cousin like to eat loquat?" ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned.

"Good brother, I'll pick it for you?" The corners of Shen Ci's mouth hung with a playful arc, and the fox eyes looking at her were full of interest.

"......" Shen Pan'er stepped forward and grabbed the loquat trunk with both hands and suddenly began to shake violently, "Bad brother, bad brother, let you pick the biggest one for me, you just take care of Sister Lingwu." ”

The leaves of the loquat trees fell staggeringly, and the branches swayed with the trunks, Shen Ci couldn't stand still, shook his body and said, "Shen Pan'er, stop!" ”

"I won't!" Shen Pan'er gritted her teeth and shook it vigorously.

Ye Lingwu looked at Shen Ci's funny appearance on the tree, and when the corners of his mouth were about to rise, he saw that the red in the world suddenly fell.

With Shen Ci's fall, the loquat leaves also stopped falling.

Looking at Shen Ci who was suffering from pain on the ground, Shen Pan'er suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly ran to the porch.

Shen Ci patted his robe and stood up: "Shen Pan'er, where do you want to run!" ”

The yard is so big, and the two of them are chasing each other in circles.

The originally quiet and deep house seemed to come alive because of the noise between the two.

Ye Lingwu was not interested in laughing and playing, and turned around to go back to the kitchen, but just after walking a few steps, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

- "Sister Lingwu save me!" ”

Shen Pan'er grabbed Ye Lingwu's arms, turned her whole person one hundred and eighty degrees, and then hid behind her, before Ye Lingwu, who was at a loss, could react, his eyes suddenly darkened, and a warm chest collided head-on.

Ye Lingwu hurriedly closed his eyes, and half a second passed, but the expected collision did not follow, but a low evil laugh came from his ears.

She slowly opened her eyes, the tip of her nose could almost smell the clear breath on the young man's body, and when she raised her head again, she saw Shen Ci clenching his hand into a fist against his mouth and coughing lightly, faintly smiling.

"Cousin, I miss me so much that I even close my eyes." Shen Ci teased.

Ye Lingwu came back to his senses, his heart was horizontal, he looked down, raised his foot and fell with full strength, then turned around and strode away, all in one go.

"Ahh

Shen Pan'er on the side leaned over and said pitifully: "Second brother, do you need me to help you?" You don't have to be in the capital here, and no one is waiting for you. ”

"Get out." Shen Ci coldly squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
