Shu Blossoms

Chapter 288 Good things are coming?

Xiao Yucheng and Zheng Wei finally stopped Mrs. Xiao's boat before they left Jiankang.

Mrs. Xiao pulled Zheng Weikua with a smile on her face, "Which family's girl is this, she's really pretty!"

Zheng Wei held hands with Mrs. Xiao, with a shy expression on her face, but she was very embarrassed in her heart, and hurriedly glared at Xiao Yucheng while no one was paying attention.

Her concealed movements still did not escape Mrs. Xiao's, Ruju's eyes.

Zheng Wei's gaze was shy and coquettish in Madam Xiao's eyes, and seeing the gentle smile on the corner of her grandson's mouth, her eyes could overflow with water, but she had never seen such a cold-tempered grandson of hers who could show a smile. This gentle appearance made me laugh out loud.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shen was right, and she showed her grandson such a distraught look, the Xiao family was overjoyed not far away!
It's also because Mrs. Xiao doesn't live in Jiankang all the time. This year is the first time she has come to the eldest son's house to celebrate the New Year, but the eldest grandson is so angry that she has to go back to her hometown for a few months. I didn't expect this brat to quietly have someone he likes!

"This is the chief." Just as Xiao Yucheng was about to speak, Zheng Wei quickly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Old Madam, my father's surname is Zheng, my grandfather is the Imperial College Jijiu, my father is Prince Sheren, and my ancestors are from Gaoping Jinxiang people"

"Okay, Guozijian Jijiu is all learned Confucians, and I think they are also from a scholarly family, and they have a family of farming and studying." Madam Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

She doesn't have high requirements for family status, as long as it is a clean family and does not insult the family's reputation.

After all, the Xiao family used to be just a lowly family, and it is probably the descendants who sacrificed their lives to get what they are today.

Nowadays, the descendants of the Xiao family mostly practice martial arts, and there is a daughter-in-law who is a heir to the family of poetry and books to educate the descendants, so that those people will not laugh at them. The Xiao family is now a family of martial arts.

"Grandma, did you pick up two five or six-year-old children on board today?"

Xiao Yucheng saw his grandmother holding Zheng Wei and looking at his family's expressions, so he knew what she was thinking. If he continued, Zheng Wei might be really annoyed, and now the most urgent task is to find the two princes, so he took the opportunity to ask .

"There are two children," Mrs. Xiao was a little puzzled when she heard her grandson ask, "The two children are also handsome, the older one is calm, and the younger one is clever. I don't know which family they belong to. They sneaked out to play. .”

Zheng Wei hurriedly asked: "Grandma, where are they now?"

Mrs. Xiao's heart was full of joy when she called her grandma, and the smile on her face grew even wider, "The two children got off the boat at Sixth Bridge."

Zheng Wei stood up immediately when she heard this, and was anxious to go out. Although Mrs. Xiao was old, she was not weak in strength, and she didn't get away when she struggled.

"Don't worry, child." Mrs. Xiao comforted her gently, "It seems that these two children belong to your family?"

Zheng Wei was soothed by Mrs. Xiao's calmness, nodded and said, "It's my two younger brothers who sneaked out mischievously. The elders in the family haven't found out yet, so we have to take them back quickly, or we should be in a hurry!"

Xiao Yucheng interrupted, and asked a little hurriedly: "Grandma, did they say where they are going?"

"They said they're going to West Market, don't worry." Mrs. Xiao gave her grandson a reproachful look. It's rare to see him so restless. The child left alone."

Xiao Yucheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said happily, "Grandma, who did you send to follow?"

"I asked Xiao Zhong to send someone to secretly protect them. You can go to Xiao Zhong and ask, and they should be found soon."

Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.

Zheng Wei was also overjoyed, got up and made a solemn salute, then said goodbye and left.

Xiao Yucheng also clasped his fists to his grandmother and saluted, "Be careful on the road, grandmother."

Then he planned to go after Zheng Wei, but he heard Mrs. Xiao beamingly say, "I won't come back, I was angry at you for not wanting to get married, now that your big wedding is coming, I have to help your mother in Jiankang."

Xiao Yucheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't refute, but murmured: "It hasn't been decided yet."

"Leave this matter to me. When I get back, I will ask the official media to come and propose marriage!"

Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, it seemed that Xiao Yucheng was going to get married tomorrow.

Xiao Yucheng originally wanted to explain one or two more things, but he was worried about Zheng Wei, so he stopped talking and left quickly.

I only heard Mrs. Xiao's angry voice from behind, "Turn around, go back!"

When Zheng Wei followed the people from the Xiao family to the West Market, Ji You led Yue Zhao and Yue Rui to the depths of an alley, stopped in front of a small house, and gently knocked on the door .

While waiting for the door, Ji You turned his head and told the two of them solemnly, "Go in, don't look around, don't talk, I can't save you if you anger them!"

Yue Zhao and Yue Rui looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, the door of the small courtyard was opened from the inside, and there was a middle-aged man with a cold face in coarse cloth standing there. He glanced at Jiyou first, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"My hometown sent some rare things from my hometown, and Ah Weng asked my uncle to send some."

Jiyou swallowed nervously, and said softly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Yue Zhao and Yue Rui who were behind him, and the indifferent and temperatureless eyes made the two shrink their necks.

"Are they too?" The middle-aged man's cold voice came again.

The backs of Yue Zhao and Yue Rui tensed instantly, and at this moment they felt that they were goods for sale.

They began to regret in their hearts, and looked up at Jiyou nervously.

"No, no, they are the new apprentices of A Weng, and they secretly followed me out because of A Weng's doting on them."

Jiyou had an expression of jealousy and helplessness on his face.

The middle-aged man was skeptical, but didn't ask any more questions, and stepped aside to let them in.

Jiyou lifted his foot and walked in, but Yue Zhaohe Yuerui was scared and didn't want to go in.

But the eyes of the middle-aged man swept over coldly again, and the thought of running away that the two had just had just disappeared immediately, and they raised their heels and went in.

"You wait in the courtyard."

Jiyou was brought into the house, Yue Zhao and Yue Rui were left outside, Yue Zhao felt a little relieved, he remembered what his sister said, the more secrets he knows, the sooner he will die!

It was already half an hour later when Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng found the person Xiao Zhong sent to secretly follow Yue Zhao and the other two.

When the sent people saw Xiao Yucheng hastily saluting, Xiao Yucheng said hurriedly, "Han Shun, where are the two children?"

Han Shun is a veteran who retired from the army. He used to be a scout and is best at tracking.Later, he was injured and retired from the army, and worked as a guard at Xiao's house.

Han Shun pointed to the innermost alley, and said in a low voice: "Da Lang, the eldest led the two children into the front alley. But..."

"but what?"

Zheng Wei thought that Yue Zhao and the others were in danger, so she couldn't help urging them.

Han Shun only looked up at her, and seeing that it was a girl, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "That alley is not easy, I think it is very dangerous. I was afraid that I would put the two children in danger by following in, so I didn't follow in."

"So, you don't know which yard they entered?"

Xiao Yucheng understood what Han Shun meant.

Han Shun nodded, "I'm afraid we will be discovered as soon as we approach that alley."

"What should I do?"

Zheng Wei was a little impatient, she also noticed the abnormality in the alley ahead, it was too quiet, such a dangerous place, those two brats would be much more afraid if they were in danger!
