Chapter 87: Arriving in Jiangzhou
Xiyan and Qing Kite had arranged the place where Shen Yanshu lived, and as soon as they came out of the room, they met Xiao Nansheng head-on.
The two of them bowed their heads, which was regarded as a greeting, and was about to pass by, when Xiao Nansheng suddenly shouted out to Xiyan.
"Miss Xiyan, wait a minute. ”
Xi Yan turned his head and looked at him puzzled: "What is the matter with Xiao Gongzi?"
Xiao Nansheng looked at Xi Yan's cold attitude towards him, and knew that she was not angry with herself, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he made Xi Yan angry inexplicably.
"Miss Xiyan, did I do something wrong?" Xiao Nansheng asked.
Looking at Xiao Nansheng's appearance in the clouds, it is not easy to be angry with him again, as Shen Yanshu said, what he has experienced is completely different from their world, and there is no need to be more serious.
She said: "Where is Xiao Gongzi, you haven't done anything wrong. ”
Xiao Nansheng said: "In this case, why does Miss Xiyan seem to be deliberately avoiding me these days. ”
"I'm just a maid next to Miss, so naturally I can't compare with Childe. Xiyan said.
Xiao Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "But I have never regarded you as a maid, I have always regarded Miss Xiyan as a friend." ”
At the beginning, Xiyan disguised herself as a man and pretended to talk about business with Xiao Nansheng, and then inquired about her aunt, handed over Shen Yanshu's letter to the people of their Xiao family, and returned to Chang'an with them.
is different from the gentleness of Jiangnan women, Xiyan always speaks and does things very neatly, and she knows a lot.
At first, he was surprised that she dared to go to Jiangnan alone as a woman, but after slowly getting in touch, he felt more and more that Xiyan had a charm that other women did not have, and his eyes always couldn't help but want to follow her.
When she interrogated the prisoner, he was indeed very surprised, and some could not accept it, but I have to say that her method was very effective.
Xiyan didn't expect him to say this, and his heart couldn't help but warm.
Seeing that Xiyan's face softened, Xiao Nansheng took out a small wooden box, handed it to her, and said, "When I was passing by the city the day before yesterday, I saw a hairpin that was quite suitable for you, so I bought it, and I don't know if you like it or not." ”
Xiyan took the wooden box in her hand, it was a hosta carved with Xiyan flowers, and the Xiyan flowers were wrapped around the fine hairpins, which looked lifelike.
At a glance, she knew that the jade was a high-grade jade, even if it was Xiyan's previous identity, such jewelry was very rare, she closed the box, and then pushed it back to Xiao Nansheng.
"Xiao Gongzi's gift is too expensive, and Xiyan doesn't dare to accept it. ”
Xiao Nansheng put it directly in her hand and said, "I sincerely treat you as a friend, if you don't accept my gift, it means that you haven't forgiven me yet." ”
In fact, he secretly asked Shen Yanshu, what should he do if someone is angry with him, Shen Yanshu said to open the misunderstanding, apologize, and the matter will easily pass.
Later, the guards under his command said that the girl's family likes jewelry and other things the most, and if she buys a gift to accompany her sin, the woman eats this set, so while he was resting at the inn, Xiao Nansheng went to buy a hairpin by himself, and even Xiao Lu didn't know about it secretly.
Seeing Xiao Nansheng's serious appearance, Xiyan couldn't shirk it anymore, she chuckled: "Then thank you Xiao Gongzi for treating me as a friend." ”
Seeing Xiyan's smile, Xiao Nansheng was in a trance, like seeing the warm sunshine in winter, dazzling and warm.
He rarely sees Xiyan smiling, she is always very strict on weekdays, as if there is nothing that can make her happy, he doesn't understand, and thinks she is like this, and when he sees her smile today, it is so good-looking.
"I ...... Is there anything strange about it?" Xiyan saw that Xiao Nansheng had been staring at her face, and touched her face a little uncomfortably.
Xiao Nansheng shook his head and said, "No, I just think that Miss Xiyan looks very good when she smiles, you should smile more." ”
Xiyan blushed, nodded, and then turned to leave.
Xiao Nansheng looked at her distant back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a smile, lowered his head and chuckled, then patted his head lightly, turned around and walked towards his room.
And Shen Yanshu, who was standing at the door, happened to listen to all their conversations.
Xiyan is seventeen years old this year.
Qi Yunge is the same age as Xiyan, but now that Shen Yanshu is two years younger than her, she has already made a family appointment, and she should also worry about Xiyan's lifelong events.
Although Xiyan is now staying by her side in the name of her maid, how can I say that Xiyan is also behind the gate, there should be a man worthy of her.
Xiao Nansheng is good, but can the Xiao family accept a slave?
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Lu and his party finally arrived in Jiangzhou.
Shen Yanshu sat in the carriage, opened the window curtain of the carriage and looked out, the lively scene of Jiangzhou City was not inferior to Chang'an, and the shops on both sides of the road were also everything, and even looked much better than Chang'an.
It is said that Jiangnan is rich, but this is really the case in the past.
The carriage went all the way forward, and finally stopped in front of a tall mansion, Shen Yanshu lowered the curtain, waited for the carriage to stop, and stepped out of the carriage with the support of the green kite.
"Wow, is that my cousin?
As soon as Shen Yanshu got out of the carriage, she heard a boy praising her for her good looks.
She looked over, and there was a row of people standing at the front door, all looking in their direction, and in the middle was an old woman in her sixties, dressed in dark purple auspicious cloud satin, with a palm-sized jade pendant hanging from her waist, and a sleek long wooden staff in her hand, which was inlaid with many colorful gems.
Even the Queen Mother has never been so extravagant, Shen Yanshu said secretly, no wonder Xiao Lu casually gave her tens of thousands of taels of silver, the Xiao family is really not bad for money!
Xiao Lu stepped forward and said to the old lady, "Mother, my son is back with a pair of Yinyin's children!"
Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an stepped forward and saluted the old lady together: "Yan'an (Yanshu) greets my grandmother!"
"Okay! Okay......" Old Lady Xiao held Shen Yanshu and Shen Yan'an's hands, her eyes were already filled with tears, "It's good to come back! ”
"Mother, you should be happy to see your grandson and granddaughter for the first time, why are you crying?" said a woman comforting the old lady on the side.
The old lady nodded and said, "I'm just so happy......"
Xiao Lu continued to introduce other people to Shen Yanshu and them, pointing to the woman who spoke just now and said, "This is your eldest aunt. ”
The two of them saluted again: "I've seen my eldest uncle." ”
"This is your second uncle, second aunt. Xiao Lu pointed to a couple on the side and introduced them to Shen Yanshu.
"I've seen my second uncle, I've seen my second aunt. ”
"Cousin, cousin, I'm Xiao Ningxuan!" The little baby who spoke just now was a little anxious when he saw that Shen Yanshu was still being introduced one by one, in this way, he was the youngest, and he didn't know when he would be able to talk to his cousin!
Shen Yanshu looked down and saw a group about three or four years old hugging his thighs.
Shen Yan'an tapped his finger on his nose lightly: "What's the matter, I only see my cousin, but I can't see my cousin?"
"Hello cousin!" Tuanzi stretched out his hands in a gesture of begging for a hug.
Everyone was amused by Xiao Ningxuan's shameless behavior of this little group.
Shen Yan'an easily picked him up and pinched his white cheeks.
Xiao Tuanzi was very proud, and introduced his family to his cousin one by one: "This is my father, my mother, this is my fourth uncle, little aunt ......"
Although Xiao Tuanzi muttered, Shen Yanshu and Shen Yanan still understood.
This Xiao family has two rooms, the eldest uncle Xiao Lu and the second uncle Xiao Fu.
Xiao Lu has two sons and one daughter, Xiao Fu has three sons and one daughter, and Xiao Ningxuan, the little group, is the son of his eldest cousin, who is three years old this year.
"Okay, I've seen it all, let's go inside. Xiao Fu said, "Big brother and Yan An have been on the road for more than ten days, and they should be tired, so let's have a meal together and rest today." ”
Xiao Tuanzi was reluctantly picked up by his mother, and everyone went into the courtyard together.
Shen Yanshu carefully supported the old lady and walked forward.
"Yan Shu looks the same as Yin Yin when he was young. The old lady sighed.
Xiao Lu said: "That's it, it's thanks to being like Yinyin that you can look so good, if it's like Shen Kangzhi, I don't know what kind of weird appearance I will look like!"
Shen Yanshu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Xiao Lu's words.
Xiao Lu has never been waiting to see Shen Kangzhi, and he loves to lose two sentences on weekdays, but Shen Kangzhi pretends not to hear it and ignores it, but he didn't expect that when he got home, he still couldn't change his habit of damaging Shen Kangzhi at every turn.
"It's better for my cousin to stay in Jiangzhou in the future, so that we can see each other often. Xiao Yan in the second room said.
Xiao Nansheng said: "My cousin has now been married by the emperor, and she is the future Princess Ling, so naturally she still has to go back to Chang'an." ”
"Princess Ling?" Everyone was stunned, only to hear Xiao Yan ask, "Cousin wants to be Princess Ling in the future?" and marry the fourth prince King Ling, but didn't he fall for ......?"
Xiao Nansheng nodded.
Everyone quieted down, and almost all the people of the Great Zhou knew about King Ling's affairs that the former god of war couldn't live long because he was poisoned, and marrying him was equivalent to being a widow.
The old lady didn't know such news for a long time, so naturally she didn't know about King Ling, and when she heard that Shen Yanshu was about to become a princess, she just patted her hand happily: "Yanshu has a future, and she will be a princess in the future." ”
Shen Yanshu smiled, but he didn't mind other glances: "Yes, so you don't have to worry about me being wronged, ordinary people don't dare to bully me!"
The old lady was amused by her words.
