Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 198
After staying in Changcheng County for two days, Yijia set off again.

This time on the road again, Shen Zhezi arranged for the princess and her party to board the boat, while the imperial guards accompanying them traveled along the river.Without the drag of the princess's car, the speed also increased.

For Shen Zhezi who left her to have a boring conversation with a group of middle-aged women the day before yesterday, but he ran to go sightseeing, the princess was still resentful, and she was unwilling to talk to Shen Zhezi when she boarded the boat.However, as the boat approached Wukang, the little girl was quickly fascinated by the beautiful and delicate pictures of this Jiangnan water town where boats are used instead of cars.The blue daisy in the distant mountains, the pulsating water, the footsteps are still, the body is not bumpy, and it has passed a hundred miles.

In this strange and elegant ink painting scroll, Princess Xingnan became cheerful.Because the inner boat is not big, there are not many people on the pleasure boat she is on.There were not too many people around to serve, as if the invisible shackles had been removed from her body, the little girl showed a lively and active nature, running around the corridor of the cruise ship, trying to get a full view of the scenery on both sides of the strait, and kept patting The fence yelled, "Slow down, slow down! There's a fish chasing us, let me see it!"

Shen Zhezi followed the princess around the deck with a sad face. He didn't expect this little girl to be so energetic. She almost walked through the deck of his house this morning on the boat.

This courteous attitude was not without effect. When the princess was tired from running, Xi Diji sat behind the side of the boat, patted the deck beside her, and motioned for Shen Zhezi to come over as well.Looking at the scenery moving back and forth outside the boat, the little girl showed a trace of sadness on her face, and she sighed suddenly: "If Aliu comes here with me, I will definitely ask me to take him to the fields to pick flowers and catch fish in the river." It's a pity that he stays in the garden, so he can't see all of these."

Shen Zhezi was silent after hearing the words. The little girl was emotionally sensitive, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and probably also hesitated about the unfamiliar road ahead.

"Shen Zhezi, I want to go home again! Wu Xing is indeed beautiful, much wider than Yuanzhong... But, I miss my father and mother, I miss Aliu, I think..."

As if mustering up the courage for a long time, Princess Xingnan suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Shen Zhezi's wrist. Do you often feel that I am an evil lady and difficult to get along with because I annoy you and don't talk to you?"

Shen Zhezi was a little astonished when he heard the words, and he smiled and shook his head after a while: "Princess sometimes annoys me because I do things that displease you. I like you, princess. You always show your happiness and dissatisfaction, and you don't hide your thoughts. , is a hearty and poor little lady."

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, Princess Xingnan's cheeks flushed even more like clouds, but her eyes gradually brightened: "I also know that after leaving the palace, I can't go back casually, and I want to live with you often. It's just that I am naturally Impatient, don't know how to speak softly to others. Shen Zhezi, I usually get angry with you and don't want to talk to you. Actually, I, actually..."

"Actually, I don't think so in my heart. I want you to talk to me more, and I want you to take a look at me...Father and Aliu are not by my side. The palace people just listen to me and never talk to me too much. I am here, and I only know you. If you are tired of seeing me, and no one is willing to accompany me, I don't know where I should go..."

Hearing the princess's rare soft words, Shen Zhezi felt a lot of pity in his heart. He held the princess's little hand in his own, and said with a smile: "Actually, I entered the garden once a year ago. It’s the princess. Afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor forgave me and didn’t blame her, but I often wondered what the little girl on the other side of the wall looked like, with such a happy smile. I like to see your smile, princess, and hear your laughter.”

"I can promise that I will never tire of you in my life, but you have to answer me. Even if I do something wrong to make you angry in the future, you can't be angry for too long, and you can't blame others. Just like talking to me today, we There is nothing that cannot be said between them. Even if there is a misunderstanding, as long as we still want to talk to each other, those worrying things will pass quickly."

When the princess heard this, she was even more ashamed, and then a little embarrassed. She turned slightly, picked up a handful of cool river water and sprinkled it on Shen Zhezi, and laughed cheerfully: "You look so dumb, I'm annoyed at you!" , that really annoys you and won't talk to you again!"

Shen Zhezi wiped off the drops of water on his cheeks, pointed at the princess and said with a smile, "It's like this, smiling like a flower, how can I get tired of seeing it!"

"You made me angry! I won't let you watch it again!"

The princess tried hard to keep a straight face, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turned up suddenly, and she turned around suddenly, covering her face and laughing lightly.After a while, she turned her head suddenly, waved her pink fist in front of Shen Zhezi, and said viciously: "My ability is not only not talking to you. If you try to lie to me again, you will understand that I am not good." Mess!"

Shen Zhezi sweated profusely after hearing the words. Although this girl was happy and angry, the transition between anger and happiness was too fast, which caught people off guard.

Seeing Shen Zhezi's astonished face, Princess Xingnan smiled triumphantly, stood up and turned to the other side of the cabin as if triumphant, lying on the railing of the ship with her hand on her chin, looking at the large grain field on the bank, her eyebrows beaming, and she lightly smiled from time to time. Laughing, humming slang songs.

When she caught sight of the maid Yun Zhi who was hanging her head and pursing her lips and smiling lowly in the corner, the princess's cheeks flushed slightly, but after a second thought, she proudly raised her white and tender chin, looking extremely proud.

The boat is convenient, and it turns into Qianxi after noon, but it encounters obstacles when going further.Because both sides of the river are full of pedestrians, men, women, old and young, standing in line along the river, blocking the river and making it difficult for the escorting imperial guards to move.

When the pleasure boat that Shen Zhezi was on appeared in sight, the people along the river burst into cheers, and the waves made the river rippling.Many people even threw freshly picked flowers into the river. In no time, the entire Qianxi River was filled with multicolored flowers: "Shen Lang married a wife, and the villagers congratulated him! Blessed are the ladies, and the clear water is fragrant!"

Although he had already seen a wave of big scenes in Changcheng County, Shen Zhezi was also quite moved when he saw the people in his hometown put on such a welcoming posture at this time.In the past few years, he has managed the countryside, and he is confident that the villagers are sincerely happy for him and came to congratulate him.We greet each other along the road, and the flowers flow for ten miles. Those flowers float up and down in the river, decorating a big river with colorful colors, as if a boat is sailing in a dreamy water town, it is so beautiful!
Shen Zhezi stood at the bow and waved to the villagers, and then there was bursts of applause. The children in new clothes ran along the river, and the laughter was the clearest and loudest.

Standing there, Shen Zhezi waved to Princess Xingnan repeatedly. The princess looked a little coy, and walked to Shen Zhezi unnaturally, and said angrily: "Your villagers really have time, don't they want to work in the fields? So There are many people watching along the river, making people uncomfortable!"

"Since the princess came into my house, these are the usual gifts. From now on, these people will not only be my villagers, but also yours, princess. They are the most kind and amiable, and they are also sincerely happy for me."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile that the enthusiastic atmosphere of the villagers made him feel proud in front of the princess.Although the cheers of these villagers are messy and not as solemn as Duzhong etiquette, they are very contagious and make people stay in it and linger.

After getting used to the welcoming atmosphere, the princess gradually showed a smile on her face, even pointing at the children who stumbled and fell on the bank and laughed.After a while, she looked weird, she looked straight at Shen Zhezi, with a smile on her lips: "Do you understand now?"

"Understand what?"

Shen Zhezi was puzzled.

The princess pointed to the cheering villagers on the shore and said with a smile: "Their folk songs are all sung to deceive you! If every family has Mrs. Bai Fu waiting to marry you, how can they be so happy now! Haha, they are all I lied to you!"

"Yes, if it wasn't for the princess's witty words, I would still be in a daze."

Of course, Shen Zhezi would not be so confused as to argue with the princess about right and wrong. He turned his gaze, pointed to the contiguous manor on the bank at the bend in front of him, and said to the princess, "Look, princess, that's my home." Longxi Manor, after the big ceremony, will also be the home of the princess. When everything is done, I will accompany the princess on a tour of the countryside, so that the princess can enjoy the many interesting things in my village!"

When Princess Xingnan heard this, she looked up at the Shen family's extremely eye-catching Longxi Village, which stood like a hill on the flat ground. A trace of apprehension gradually appeared on her small face, and she pulled Shen Zhezi's clothes and whispered: " Shen Zhezi, when I get to your house, how should I talk to your parents?"

"Princess, don't worry. My parents are kind people, and they naturally respect the princess. In the future, we will get along day and night. There may be some lack of etiquette, but I love the princess very much."

Shen Zhezi smiled and comforted the anxious little girl: "I also have a little brother in my family. He is younger than the prince, but he is still a toddler, so he is cute."

Hearing what Shen Zhezi said, the princess still couldn't relax.As the cruise ship gradually entered the pier, she could already see the pick-up arrangement outside Longxi Villa, and the densely packed heads made her feel even more dizzy and nervous, her palms were sweating, and then she looked at Shen angrily. Tetsuko: "You have too many family members!"

Shen Zhezi laughed out loud when he heard the words, the leader of his family's Jiangdong Haozong, the members of his family are already prosperous, so naturally all of them returned home for such a big event.Coupled with many old relatives and friends, it can indeed be described as a sea of ​​people.This scene is far from being comparable, even when I saw the huge crowd spreading from the pier to the village, I felt faint scalp numbness, not to mention that the princess, a ten-year-old girl, would feel shy in her heart, It is also reasonable.

Standing at the bow of the ship for a while, the voices of the people on the shore shouting and tsunami were getting closer and closer, the princess's face turned pale, she stopped standing at the bow, turned around and rushed into the cabin.

Shen Zhezi didn't stop when he saw this, he had already seen his father standing in the crowd looking at him and grinning, his expression was full of joy and pride.
