Xiao Nansheng took Shen Yan'an to the courtyard arranged for him, and it was Xiao Yan in the second room who took Shen Yanshu to her residence, perhaps knowing that Shen Yanshu was going to marry the short-lived King Ling, Xiao Yan was very sympathetic to Shen Yanshu.

I finally found a cousin, but this fate was so bad.

"I already knew that my cousin was coming, this yard was specially cleaned up for you by my grandmother, and it was originally where my aunt lived. Xiao Yan explained to her.

Shen Yanshu looked at the yard very neatly cleaned up, everything was available, and she felt comfortable in her heart, she said, "There is Cousin Lao." ”

"The family doesn't have to be so polite. Xiao Yan said, "If you still need anything, just mention it." ”

Shen Yanshu nodded, and his impression of this family was very good.

Everything has been arranged, Shen Yanshu asked the green kite to give the gifts she had originally prepared to the people in each room, because Xiao Nansheng had introduced the members of the Xiao family to her one by one when she was in Chang'an, so she had already prepared.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, Shen Yanshu asked the old lady for good morning, and was pulled by the old lady and said something for a long time, which was nothing more than some old things in Xiao Yinyin's boudoir.

Shen Yanshu knew that the old lady was thinking about her daughter, and she regarded and compensated herself as Xiao Yinyin, although she was not her real grandson, she still couldn't refuse this enthusiasm.

"I haven't known about the existence of you and Brother An for so many years, my grandmother is really incompetent, if I see Yinyin in the future, how should I explain to her?" the old lady sighed.

Shen Yanshu said: "How can I blame you, I can only say that life is impermanent, but fortunately we met in the end." ”

"You grew up in Chang'an, and I heard that there is an unreasonable stepmother, who must not be doing well, and now that you have arrived in Jiangnan, you will regard this place as your home, and you can say whatever you want. The old lady said.

Shen Yanshu just smiled: "Grandmother, you, your aunt and cousins have said this many times, if there is a need, Shu'er will definitely not be polite to you, you can rest assured." ”

The old lady seemed to have thought of something, turned her head and said to the grandmother behind her: "Cuiying, go and bring the gift I prepared for Sister Shu'er, look at my memory, I almost forgot it." ”

Hearing this, Cui Ying entered the back room and took out a small box.

The old lady took the small box and handed it to Shen Yanshu, and said, "Grandmother has nothing to give, just treat it as a meeting gift, and Sister Shu is not allowed to refuse." ”

Shen Yanshu heard Xiao Lu say that if it was a gift from the old lady, don't refuse, it is the old man's heart.

She took the wooden box and said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

The old lady said: "Your child is good-looking, but he is too plain, and he should dress up more while he is young, so as to attract people." Buy more jewelry and clothes, Rao is the flowers in the spring can't compare to the face of the little girl. ”

Shen Yanshu likes to wear plain clothes, and he doesn't like cumbersome hair accessories, which looks fresh and refined, but in front of the old lady who likes bright and gorgeous, he looks a little pitiful.

"By the way, it just so happened that you came back, the day after tomorrow is the temple fair of the Flower Temple, and you and An Ge'er can accompany me, an old man, to worship the God of Flowers. The old lady said.

Shen Yanshu was a little puzzled: "What's the difference between the temple fairs of this Flower Temple?"

Cui Ying, who was beside the old lady, said: "Miss Biao, you don't know this, in our Jiangnan, the god of flowers is the most popular temple god, not only can pray for the wind and rain to bloom, but also bless people with a happy marriage and a happy family." There will be a temple fair every spring, this temple fair goes to the temple to offer incense and pray during the day, and you can go to the flower street to see the flowers and lanterns at night. ”

Shen Yanshu hadn't seen this temple fair in the south of the Yangtze River, but when he heard Cui Ying say this, he was a little curious.

But Qing Kite was a little worried: "So many people go to Flower Street this big night, what if there are Dengzi?"

Cui Ying giggled: "You don't have to worry about this, because at this night's flower street temple fair, according to custom, many young people go with the mask of a hundred flowers, and they can't see their faces." ”

The old lady said, "Let Nan Sheng accompany you at night, and he will take care of you." ”

Shen Yanshu nodded: "Why don't grandmothers go with us to see the excitement at night." ”

The old lady smiled: "I'm too old, so I won't join in the excitement of your young people, and going to the temple to pray for blessings during the day is already a toss." ”

Shen Yanshu had just returned to her courtyard after speaking at the old lady's place, and Xiao Yan had already enthusiastically sent several flower god masks and asked her to pick a suitable one.

Among the piles of red and purple masks, Shen Yanshu picked the most plain magnolia flower god mask, which looked like a piece of magnolia petals connected together, which was very exquisite.

Xiyan came back from outside, stepped forward and said to Shen Yanshu: "Miss, Xiao Gongzi said that after the Flower Temple Fair is over, he will go to Baiyue Mountain with you, and the third prince will also be with him." ”

The third son of the Xiao family is the eldest son of the second room, Xiao Jingsheng.

Shen Yanshu nodded, she was finally going to visit the Moon Mountain.

"You still haven't had enough of this Jiangzhou City, so you want to go to Baiyue Mountain?" Xiao Yan, who was on the side, said, "I heard that the mountain of Baiyue Mountain is steep, and there are several dangerous mountains, you should pay attention." ”

"It's out of the way, we just go to the temple to pray for blessings. Shen Yanshu said.

Xiao Yan said: "That's okay, don't go in the mountains, there are dangers, there are poisonous snakes and beasts, and it's easy to get lost, even the locals in Jiangzhou rarely dare to go in, most of them go to the Anqing Temple in the Moon Mountain to pray for blessings and come back." ”

When Qing Kite heard Xiao Yan say this, she was also a little shocked: "There is such a terrible place?"

Xiao Yan said: "There is no one to go in there all the year round, naturally there are a lot of wild beasts, but there are also some nearby villagers who enter the mountain in order to collect valuable medicinal materials, if you go, bring more guards." ”

Shen Yanshu naturally knew that there was an unsafe existence near Baiyue Mountain, and because of this, Qi Yi hid the Qilin Talisman in the mountain, in order to prevent the Qilin Talisman from being easily found.

But Xiao Yan's words made Qing Kite worried.

Even after Xiao Yan left, she kept thinking that she hoped that Shen Yanshu would not go to such a dangerous place.

Shen Yanshu said with a smile: "Just now my cousin also said that it is just that the mountains are more dangerous, we are going to the temple, it will be fine, there are so many monks in the temple, if there are really wild beasts, we will eat the monks first." ”

Xiyan also said: "Qingyu, you are so timid, how can you protect Miss?"

"I'm ......," muttered the kite, "as long as Miss doesn't go to dangerous places, she doesn't need protection." ”

"Don't tease her. Shen Yanshu smiled, and then took out the small box given by the old lady today.

originally thought it would be some kind of gold and silver jewelry or something, but when he opened it, Shen Yanshu was still stunned, there was a large stack of silver tickets inside, and after counting, there were 200,000 taels of ......

It's really rich.

Shen Yanshu couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it was a family, Xiao Lu and the old lady's approach was exactly the same, they all gave money directly, and the amount they gave was not a small amount.

"The old lady is too generous!" exclaimed Xi Yan.

Qing Kite nodded violently: "Even in Chang'an, there is no family who gives gifts like this." ”

Shen Yanshu really picked up a cheap foreigner, and he was so rich.

It's a pity that when the original owner died, he didn't know anything.

On the day of the temple fair, Shen Yanshu got up early in the morning because he wanted to accompany the old lady to the Flower Temple to worship, and when he arrived at the Flower Temple, he was surprised to see this crowd of people.

The status of the Xiao family in Jiangzhou is not low, and when they saw the carriage of the Xiao family, many people took the initiative to give way to the temple, so they arrived outside the temple very smoothly.

Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an helped Old Madam Xiao get out of the carriage, and countless eyes fell on them.

"They are the children that Xiao Yinyin left behind back then? ”

"That is, Xiao Yinyin was also a famous beauty in Jiangnan back then, and this child is naturally not far behind. ”

"There has been no news for so many years, and this suddenly popped up with a grandson, who knows if it's true?"

"I heard that they came from Kyoto, and they were all young ladies of the family, so I can't be wrong. ”

Listening to the noisy talk around her, Mrs. Xiao walked up to the temple as if she hadn't heard it, and then went to the statue of the flower god and offered incense to worship.

Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an followed behind the old lady and also stepped forward to worship.

After the ceremony, the old lady took the hands of the two of them, turned around and stood at the door of the temple, facing the full crowd outside, and said loudly: "This is my grandson Shen Yan'an and my granddaughter Shen Yanshu, I brought them to worship the god of flowers today, just to hope that the god of flowers can bless them, and let everyone recognize people, so that you know that the children of our family Yinyin are back." ”

"In order to celebrate this event, from today onwards, our Xiao family will hold a one-month banquet in the south of the city, whether it is a beggar or a person from a poor family, you can go to the banquet, and our Xiao family is welcome at any time!"

As soon as Old Madam Xiao's words fell, there was warm applause below.

The Xiao family has always been kind and charitable, often doing good deeds, and naturally has a good reputation.

There were a few young people standing under the big tree not far away, looking in their direction, and a woman said: "It is said that the Xiao family in Jiangnan has a lot of money, but I don't know where people actually climb such high branches." ”

There were three young men about twenty years old standing next to the woman, and one of them was a man in blue brocade and said: "The county lord's words are wrong, I heard that the two grandsons recognized by the Xiao family are the children of Shen Kangzhi, the secretary of the court department. ”

"The Shen family?" another man in a moon-white brocade robe chuckled, "Could it be that girl is Shen Yanshu, the top of the Zhaodetang school exam?"

The woman who was called the county lord looked at him with some surprise: "It turns out that my brother will also care about the girls' school examination in Zhaodetang?"

The county lord laughed. The man explained, "It's just that this Shen Yanshu is too popular in Chang'an, and it's hard to think about it." ”

"Look, that maid doesn't look like Chen Yanxi!" said the man in blue brocade, pointing in the direction where Shen Yanshu was.
