Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 54
The carriage staggered and finally arrived at the border of Sin Moon City in the middle of the month.

The Moon City, also known as the largest city on the border, is located in the south, where the people are rich and rich, and it is a quiet water town.There are twelve towns under the city of Yueyue. For example, the Wang family who was promoted to Beijing served as the dispatch envoy, and the assistant governor was in charge of river engineering, water conservancy and other things. The city of Yueyue was close to Kaihe. It's a remarkable achievement.

The Wang family is not a well-known official household in the capital, but they are still ranked high in the city of the moon. One branch of the Wang family has entered the capital, but most of the Wang family is still rooted in the city of the moon.

As early as ten days ago, the Wang family wrote a letter back to Yueyue City, asking the Wang family to take care of the Ningbei Houfu family who returned home to worship their ancestors in Yueyue City.

No, the sky just turned white, and the branch of the Wang family sent the eldest son to greet him at the gate of the city.

Enter the city and walk through the Beidou Gate in the south of the capital. There are four towering and huge towers on the city tower. In the bright sky, black clusters look down on the city like four beasts with teeth and claws.

The sky is bright.

Wearing a dark red brocade cloak, Shen Ci rode at the front of the team. When he was approaching the gate of the city, a soldier came in a hurry. The two said a few words, and Shen Ci handed over the customs clearance documents to him.

The little soldier opened it and saw that his legs were so weak that he didn't fall off. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know that they are the chariots and horses of the Marquis of Ningbei. I will let you go!"

The horse-drawn carriage team entered the Beidou Gate, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Is it the Shen family of Ningbei Hou Mansion?" Shen Ci looked for the sound, and saw a wide car waiting on the side of the street. the car.

Early in the morning, the tall and slender young man wearing a melon skin cap and a green cloak stood under the cart, beside him were several strange middle-aged men who looked like they were dressed as servants.

Grandma Xuan opened the curtain upon hearing the sound: "But an old friend of the Wang family?"

Guapi Xiaomao ran forward, cupped his hands and said: "Exactly, my aunt came to seal a letter a few days ago, saying that the carriage from Ningbei Hou's mansion arrived this morning, and ordered me to greet her here, and also said that Mrs. Shen was dozens of years old. I have never returned to Yuecheng, let me lead the way."

Mother Xuan smiled and said: "The fog in the spring morning is heavy, it's hard for the brother of the Wang family to wait here, please lead the way."

Suyue City is not as wide as the four major long streets and rivers in the eight districts of Beijing, but it has attracted many people from other places because of its unique living advantages.

Walking from Beidou Gate to Nanqu Gate, many vendors arranged the items that should be sold today. The shop was steaming with white mist early in the morning, and the gates of the courtyards in the streets and alleys began to be cleaned.

Ye Lingwu was lying on the window, looking at the prosperity of the city in the early morning, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, maybe the days when she wasn't in the capital were more looking forward to.

The carriage team stopped slowly in front of a large mansion, and there were still a row of servants and maids standing in front of the mansion.

Ye Lingwu helped the old lady Shen out of the carriage, looked at the clean and old word "Shen Mansion" on the mansion plaque, and said with a smile: "Old lady, it seems that someone has cleaned this mansion in advance."

Guapi Xiaomao stepped forward and said: "Yes, my mother sent me to lead the house servants to clean up and renovate the house three days ago. Please rest assured, old lady, this house is guaranteed to be as good as yours in the capital."

Old Mrs. Shen looked at the boy in front of her and said, "You are quite sensible, what's your name and how old is it?"

The melon-piped hat bowed and said warmly, "Go back to the old lady, my name is Wang Xuzhou, and I'm fifteen this year."

Old Mrs. Shen nodded and boasted: "He can take on things at a young age, which is indeed better than my grandson."

The grandson who was "relegated" leaned against the wall of the car expressionlessly, and did not refute Mrs. Shen's words.But Shen Pan'er said: "Grandmother loves to talk about the second elder brother, I see that the second elder brother is quite capable of taking care of things along the way, right, sister Lingwu?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and seeing Shen Ci's eyes looking at her, she pursed her lips and said, "Yes, Second Young Master's journey has been quite hard."

Shen Ci curled the corner of his mouth.

Wang Xuzhou led the crowd into the mansion.The Shen family's old house has a history of nearly a hundred years. The giant and ancient trees in the house enclose the whole house, which is vast and deep.

There is no distinction between inner and outer courtyards in the mansion. Except for a large hall, there are east and west courtyards at the back. Men live in the west courtyard and girls live in the east courtyard.

Ye Lingwu followed the female envoy to the east courtyard, and felt that the eyes suddenly opened up. The ancient veranda exudes a serene and far-reaching atmosphere like a paradise. Although it is not as grand and rich as the carved galleries and painted buildings in the capital, the antique and fragrant mansion has a special charm.

To say that the busiest person after entering the mansion was Mother Xuan, leading the female envoy sent by the Wang family to shuttle around the mansion. When she first came to the old Shen's mansion, she had to take care of everything, and she didn't even drink her saliva. admire.

The bedroom where Ye Lingwu and Shen Pan'er live is separated by a wall, and there is only a vertical cone in the bedroom. Inside, there is a large old elm sleeper against the wall, with bedding already spread on it, and a changing screen and a dressing table coming from it. , followed by a small table and chair.

It is not comparable to the capital city, but it is also clean and warm.

Ye Lingwu didn't bring many belongings, one bag was enough. After all, Mrs. Shen made it clear before leaving that going back to her hometown to worship her ancestors is not going back to her hometown to show off and enjoy herself. Try to keep a low profile, so even the Shen family The servant girl next to the junior didn't bring any of them.

After packing up, it was almost noon, so Ye Lingwu went to help in the kitchen. One of the maids working in the kitchen was named Tian Fu, and the other was named Chu Er. They were both skilled in cooking.

Ye Lingwu didn't even have a chance to strike at the side.

At this moment, chatting and laughing suddenly became lively in the yard, Ye Lingwu went out to have a look, and saw Shen Ci jumping onto the tree stepping on the stone trough next to it.What a young man who became bohemian when he came to his hometown.

A loquat tree is planted in the yard, which is in the fruiting period.

Shen Pan'er stood under the tree and muttered about wanting the biggest one, but Shen Ci ignored it and looked at Ye Lingwu on the porch: "Does my cousin like to eat loquats?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned.

"Sounds good brother, I'll pick it for you?" Shen Ci's mouth was curved playfully, and his fox eyes were full of interest as he looked at her.

"..." Shen Pan'er stepped forward, grasping the trunk of the loquat tree with both hands, and suddenly began to shake violently, "Bad brother, bad brother, I asked you to pick the biggest one for me, and you just take care of sister Lingwu."

The leaves of the loquat tree rustled and fell, and the branches swayed non-stop along with the trunk. Shen Ci couldn't stand on his feet, so he swayed and said, "Shen Pan'er, stop!"

"I won't!" Shen Pan'er gritted her teeth and shook vigorously.

Ye Lingwu looked at Shen Ci's funny appearance on the tree, and when the corners of her mouth were about to rise, she saw the smear of red in the world suddenly fall down.

Following Shen Ci's fall, the loquat leaves also stopped falling.

Seeing Shen Ci suffering from pain on the ground, Shen Pan'er suddenly felt bad, and ran to the corridor in a hurry.

Shen Ci patted his robe and stood up: "Shen Pan'er, where the hell do you want to go!"

The yard is just that big, and the two chased each other in circles.

The originally quiet and deep courtyard seemed to come alive because of the noise from the two of them.

Ye Lingwu was not interested in laughing and playing, she turned around and was about to go back to the kitchen, but she had just walked a few steps when there were hurried footsteps behind her.

——"Sister Lingwu, save me!"

Shen Pan'er grabbed Ye Lingwu's arms, turned her 180 degrees, and then hid behind her. Ye Lingwu, who was at a loss, had not yet reacted, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a The warm chest hit him head-on.

Ye Lingwu hurriedly closed her eyes, and after half a second passed, the expected collision did not follow, but a deep, wicked smile came from her ear.

She slowly opened her eyes, and she could almost smell the fresh breath of the young man's body at the tip of her nose. She raised her head again, and saw Shen Ci clenched his hands into fists against his mouth and coughed lightly, smiling slightly.

"Cousin misses me so much that she runs into her, she even closes her eyes." Shen Ci teased.

Ye Lingwu came back to her senses, her heart swayed, she lowered her head to see, raised her foot and landed with all her strength, then turned around and strode away, all in one go.

"Ah——" Shen Ci cried out in pain, and his face was not looking good. He lifted his injured foot, and because he couldn't stand on one leg, he bounced crookedly on the corridor.

Shen Pan'er at the side leaned over and said pitifully, "Second brother, do you need me to help you? There is no need for a capital here, and no one will take care of you when you are hurt."

"Get out." Shen Ci squeezed out a word coldly from between his teeth.
