Huang Xiao escorted Qingzhu and Gao's all the way to Jiangcheng, and bought back the ancestral house of the Gao family in the hands of others after several inquiries, the ancestral house of the Gao family is located on the east side of Jiangcheng, which is not an inconspicuous location, but it is an excellent location with a good view, and several streets are in full view.

Qingzhu was busy for two days to rearrange the furnishings in the house, Huang Xiao silently helped on the side, and the two of them did not dare to exceed the rules because of their own heart problems for a few days, and their relationship did not make much progress.

"Green bamboo." Gao brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Qingzhu, signaling her to send water to Huang Xiao, he has been helping them do rough work these days, and it is also hard for him.

"Mother." Qingzhu hesitated to take the tea bowl and drooped his head slightly.

"Obedient, go." Gao patted Qingzhu on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Qingzhu held the tea bowl in both hands and struggled for a while, and walked towards the phoenix owl who was moving the furniture.

The black figure stood in the middle of the messy wooden furniture, he raised his right hand and slapped it on the wardrobe, the wardrobe retreated under force and stopped at the corner of the wall, he looked at the position of the wardrobe, grabbed the desk on the side with his right hand and was about to carry the capacity.

"Huang Xiao." Qingzhu shouted in a low voice, stepped into the room and stood at the door hesitating.

He turned to look at the woman in green clothes standing at the doorway, she was wearing a bright green dress with narrow sleeves, a white and green cigarette belt tied around her waist, lining her slender waist even more, and her long hair was half-draped with a green headband.

Huang Xiao blinked, he seemed to be waiting for her next step.

Qingzhu looked down at the tea bowl in his hand and walked towards him step by step, and handed the tea bowl with a sideways face when he was three steps away: "Tired, right?" Take a break and have some tea. ”

"Hmm." He took the tea bowl and drank it all.

Qingzhu quietly raised his head to look at his heroic appearance, and immediately lowered his head when he saw him take the bowl.

"Thank you." His gaze fell on top of her head, his hair braided playfully.

"You're welcome."

After a simple answer, Qingzhu walked out of the room quickly with a bowl. She touched her hot face, what was wrong with herself, how could her heart beat faster just by looking at him, how could she continue to get along like this. He stayed in Jiang Cheng because he wanted to wait for the matter here to be finished and go back to the city lord's mansion with her, but Ji Qingyuan meant to let her accompany her mother, and when the matter on her side was over, she would naturally come over to meet them.

It's good for him to stay here and help them, but it's not a way to go on in the long run, and what kind of reason should he find to let him leave and go back to the City Lord's Mansion alone.

"Green bamboo." Gao Shi saw her daughter stunned and walked towards her, Qingzhu is her daughter, not to mention the mother-daughter connection, she couldn't be clearer about what she was thinking about after living for more than ten years. Recently, every move of the two of them is under her nose, and Lang You's concubine has intentions, but she doesn't dare to show her heart when she stands on a different position. But if she really marries a phoenix, which side should she stand on, a benefactor on one side and a husband on the other.

"Mother." Qingzhu raised his head, and the blush on his face had not yet faded.

"Mother understands your mind." Gao Shi took Qingzhu's sign and said seriously: "It's not a way to spend it all the time, go back with him, Miss is alone in the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't feel at ease." ”

"But my mother is left here alone, and Qingzhu is even more worried."

"Do you have to worry about hiring a few family members to protect your mother, not to mention that this is in Jiangcheng, there are not so many rights and wrongs." Gao shook his head and patted the back of her hand rhythmically.

"Green bamboo or ......"

"Don't give it back, go, listen to my mother." Gao's mind had been decided, and Qingzhu couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Hmm." ”

Early the next morning, Gao packed some things for Qingzhu and sent her and Huang Xiao to the city gate, when the sun had not yet come out and the temperature was just right for the road.

"Qingzhu will meet with her mother as soon as possible."

"I want to see you and Miss come back safely, I will take care of the ancestral house and wait for you in Jiangcheng." Gao stroked the hair on the back of Qingzhu's head, and soon after they got together, they were about to separate.

"Qingzhu will definitely bring Miss to Jiangcheng together."

"Well, let's go, it'll be hot later."

"Mother, remember to take care of yourself, don't do everything yourself."

"Get in the carriage."

Qingzhu reluctantly let go of Gao's hand, stepped on the pedal and got into the carriage, Huang Xiao no longer rode a horse and became a coachman, sitting in front of the carriage, stepping on the board with one foot, and pulling the reins with his right hand.

"Take care, auntie."

"So are you."

The phoenix whipped the horse's buttocks, and the white horse sped out of the city in pain.

"Madame, it's time for us to go back." The one who spoke was a young maidservant, and yesterday Qingzhu bought four maidservants and four guards to take care of the Gao clan after discussing with Huang Xiao.

"Hmm." The face covered with fine lines is no longer glorious, and there is a taste of vicissitudes, she has been a maid in Jifu for more than ten years, and she said that she would leave when she left, which was indeed a little reluctant, but they couldn't help their lives like this, and leaving was the best choice for themselves.

Qingzhu sat alone in the carriage, a rare opportunity to be alone, and a wordless ambiguity. She looked at the faint figure outside the car curtain, her back was straight, and her broad shoulders gave a sense of security. She remembered that he said at the Haunting Inn, "If you don't marry in your life, if you break your oath, the sky will thunder." "He chose to be loyal to the city lord, so what else is she asking for.

The two rushed to a small inn before sunset, Qingzhu got out of the carriage, and Huang Xiao handed the carriage to the shopkeeper and followed into the inn.

"Shopkeeper, I want two upper rooms."

The shopkeeper was settling the accounts, crackling and calculating, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, two of you, there are many customers in the small shop today, and there is only one room left." ”

"One?" Qingzhu bit her lip, how could there be only one room left, did she want to be in the same room with him alone.

The shopkeeper's eyes shuttled back and forth between the two: "Dare to ask what is the relationship between the two?" ”

Qingzhu turned his head to look at the phoenix, and the phoenix stared at the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Brother and sister." ”

"Brother and sister? Honestly, you don't look alike. "How many years has he been doing business here, how many people he has seen, and the two little dolls still want to lie to him.

"He looks like his father, and I look like my mother." He said brother and sister, although she was sad, she still helped him lie, and he didn't want others to look down on her.

"Okay, okay, brother and sister are brother and sister, two upstairs, please." The shopkeeper raised his hand and waved, and immediately a shopkeeper came to lead the way.

Qingzhu didn't dare to look back after the shopkeeper, even if they were brothers and sisters, sleeping in the same room, they would be laughed at if they spread out, and it was a shame that this place was far away from Lancheng, and no one recognized them.

"Please, both." The shopkeeper pushed open the door.

Qingzhu put down her burden and looked at the layout in the room, sure enough, there was only one bed, Huang Xiao was upright, she was not afraid that he would mistreat her, but she couldn't bear to let him sleep on the table and chair.

"Bring some food." Huang Xiao took out a certain amount of silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, who looked at the heavy silver and his eyes were straight. "Okay, guest wait." A cigarette ran out.

The two finished their meal in silence, Qingzhu's head couldn't be lowered, and Huang Xiao's eyes never fell on her again, but he could roughly imagine what her reaction was.

"You sleep in the bed." He spoke stiffly.

"What about you?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask again." Huang Xiao put down the dishes and chopsticks and stepped out of the room without looking back.

Left and right waited and didn't see the phoenix come back, Qingzhu thought that maybe he had found a place to sleep outside, but there was an inn within a radius of ten miles. After Qingzhu fell asleep, Huang Xiao pushed the door in, and he lay on his side on the round table, holding his sword scabbard and clothes.

"The shopkeeper wants three upper rooms."

"I'm sorry for the masters, there is only one upper room left in the shop."
