Shu Blossoms

Chapter 287 The Yue Brothers Visit Jiankang

Xiao Yucheng took Zheng Wei into another boat of the Xiao family, sitting on the boat, Zheng Wei had time to catch his breath, and looked up to see Xiao Yucheng looking at her from time to time, his eyes burning.

Zheng Wei touched her cheek a little shyly, thinking that there was something dirty on her face.

"How are you doing these days?" Xiao Yucheng was afraid that she would be ashamed and angry, so he looked back at the right time and asked gently.

"It's okay, help His Majesty look after the child!" Zheng Wei sighed, curling her lips helplessly.

Xiao Yucheng didn't know why a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Zheng Wei gave him a strange look, only feeling that this person is a little weird today.

Xiao Yucheng was glanced at by Zheng Wei, he quickly shifted his mind, and asked her: "But what happened? Why didn't you enter the palace today?"

Zheng Wei's face immediately sank upon hearing this, and said in a low voice, "I suspect those two brats sneaked out!"

Then tell him what happened in the palace today, after all, those two brats might be on the Xiao family's boat, and Xiao Yucheng had to help find someone.

However, there were some guesses that she hesitated to say.

Surprise flashed in Xiao Yucheng's eyes, the warmth on his face gradually subsided, and he said seriously: "Is there any clue? They must be sent back quietly before everyone finds out that they left the palace."

Zheng Wei nodded, "That's what I thought, before I found out that a teenager brought two children on your boat, and I wanted to trouble brother Xiao to take me aboard."

Xiao Yucheng pondered and said: "Grandmother is going back to Yangzhou to visit relatives today. I'm afraid the boat won't stop halfway. We have to stop the boat before it leaves Jiankang."

As he spoke, he walked out of the cabin and ordered the boatman, "Move forward at full speed and catch up with the old lady's boat."

And just when Xiao Yucheng and Zheng Wei were chasing after at full speed, and when King Ling ordered the imperial guards to search for it, the two instigators, Prince Yue Zhao and Second Prince Yue Rui, were following a pale and skinny young boy off the boat on the Qinhuai River, looking around curiously.

"Jiyou, where is this? Why are there so many beautiful flower boats parked on the river?"

Yue Rui held his elder brother tightly with one hand, and tugged at the skirt of the young man named Ji You in front of him with the other.

"This is the Qinhuai River? You two follow me!" Jiyou's voice was soft, and he looked at the two children behind him with complicated eyes, but there was no malice.

"Are we really going to the West Market?"

Yue Zhao held Brother's hand tightly, and asked nervously.

"Yes, Master ordered me to send the things to Xishi for pawning. You follow closely. We have to hurry up and return to the palace in time for Youshi, or we will be discovered."

Talking about Jiyou walking happily, Yue Zhaohe and Yuerui found it difficult to follow, but fortunately, these two have started practicing martial arts with Zheng Wei now, and they were not left behind when they trotted, but after a quarter of an hour their fleshy little faces turned red .

Ji You looked back and saw that they were struggling, their feet were a little slower, Yue Rui gasped for breath, and his mouth was not idle, "Isn't it close to Nanshi after coming out of the palace? Why did you go to Xishi?"

"The pawnshops in the West Market are backed by those gentry or big merchants. The backing is strong enough to dare to accept these things, and they are the only ones who can afford so much money." Jiyou lowered his eyes and seemed to mutter, "The key is These pawnshops have a tacit understanding with them and will not betray them."

Yue Zhao, who quietly listened to what they said, heard Ji You's words clearly, looked at Ji You in front of him meaningfully, and didn't say much.

After walking quietly like this for a long time, Yue Zhao and Yue Rui were fascinated by the hustle and bustle in Jiankang City, when Ji You suddenly turned around and asked them, "Why did that man chase you down?"

Yue Rui took a peek at Brother Ji, pretending not to hear, pointing to the tallest building in the distance, and asked Jiyou excitedly, "Brother Jiyou, where is that place? You look so majestic."

"It's Shuiyunjian, the best wine shop in Jiankang City. I heard that the food there is more exquisite than those in the palace."

Jiyou glanced in the direction of Yue Rui's finger, and his soft voice was full of yearning.

"Brother, have you been there?" Yue Rui blinked his big eyes, full of longing.

He heard from his cousin that his father was a thrifty emperor, and the expenses in the palace were kept simple, and many of the meals were not as good as those of the merchants from the aristocratic families.

Is the food at the largest restaurant in Jiankang City the best?

I really want to go in and have a look!

Thinking like this, Yue Rui loosened Jiyou's lapel, and dragged brother to run forward.

Yue Zhao pulled him back, looked at Ji You with a grateful face, and said in a pitiful tone, "We are serving the two highnesses in the Yanhe Palace. Today, the highness wants to play hide-and-seek and play tricks on Princess Danyang. Seeing that we changed clothes, we never thought we would meet an assassin, but luckily Brother Jiyou saved us, otherwise we would have died."

If Zheng Wei was here again, she would definitely slander her. She said that the brat, Boss, usually looks mature and prudent, and has the most bad things in his heart. He doesn't blush when he tells a lie, and he doesn't even pant!

Yue Rui saw his elder brother's voice and emotion, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, brother Jiyou, you are our benefactor. When we return to the palace, we will definitely report to the two highnesses and let them reward you well."

"No, it's just a coincidence for me." As he said that, Ji You worried again: "Then you two ran out, won't the two Highnesses be in danger?"

"Probably not, we lured the assassins away, and they will be safe."

Yue Rui waved his hand indifferently.

"It also makes sense!" Jiyou nodded, they had already passed the new bridge at this time, and walking south soon was the West Market.

After they got off the boat, Mrs. Shen, who was close to her, asked Old Madam Xiao, "Old Madam, these two children seem to be sneaked out by a naughty young gentleman from some family. Will it be safe to let them go like this?"

Mrs. Xiao laughed and said: "Look at the two little guys, regardless of their young age, the older one is quiet and has a city, and the younger one is naughty and clever. Most people can't fool them. But the older kid who followed them The mind is a bit complicated, but fortunately, it looks like there is no malice."

"How about this, ask Xiao Zhong to send two people to protect him secretly, and leave after they go home."

"The old lady is kind!" Mrs. Shen praised her with a smile, and Mrs. Xiao sighed, "This time Jiankang came back to find a good marriage for the boss, alas, he prevaricated again. The man from another family is here with him Children of average age are as old as those two dolls just now. But he doesn’t know what he’s thinking in his mind, and always says wait! It’s so frustrating!”

"Our Da Lang has been successful since he was a child. Whenever he does something unreliable, don't worry, Da Lang may marry a good girl for you to be his grandson-in-law in a short time!"

Mrs. Shen knew that Mrs. Xiao was in a hurry to get married, so she picked good words to comfort her.

Mrs. Xiao really laughed when she heard this, "With your kind words, I have to hold on to my old bones and watch the birth of my great-grandson."

The two of them had just finished speaking when a servant reported outside the door, "Da Lang has caught up with him in a small boat, do you want to anchor?"

Mrs. Xiao was surprised when she heard the words: "Didn't you deliver it just now? What are you doing here? Could it be that something urgent happened?"

"Don't worry, old lady, I'll take a look." Mrs. Shen came back shortly after she went out, with an unconcealable smile on her face, "Old lady, old lady, let you talk, Dalang brought a handsome The girl came."
