Before Lu Xiaomo could answer, Yun Jiu'an said, "I heard that my fourth sister has already arrived at my third grandpa's house in Zhongling. I might go to Gao's house."

Xue Hongxiu said through the curtain: "Going to the other courtyard is arranged by the adults. Miss Yun can go to the other courtyard first, and you can discuss it with him after the adults pass."

Yun Jiu'an thought for a while, and there was no need to rush Yun Jin'an away from Gao's house. Since Song Yanning had arrangements, he could do whatever he wanted, so he relaxed and said, "Okay, let's go to your lord's other courtyard first. Little Mo, what about you? Would you like to come with me? When I have time, I will accompany you to your grandfather's house, and I am going to ask about Yaoyu."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaomo smiled and nodded hastily, "Sister Hongxiu, then I won't be polite."

The two women talked all the way until they were extremely tired, and Fang dozed off in the carriage.It wasn't until dark that the carriage rushed into the city at the gate of the city.

The night scene in Zhongling City is more prosperous than that in Leyang, the long street is lit up, and there are still many pedestrians at night.

There are also small bridges and flowing water in the market, the awnings are swaying on the river, young men and women are reciting poems or playing on the boats, there are singing songs floating around, extravagant dancing and music, and the fragrance of wine.At the end is a beautiful city of singing and dancing.

Xue Hongxiu noticed that the two girls had woken up from their sleepiness. Sitting in the carriage, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You two girls have been working hard for a long time, so that's all for today, and I will rest after dinner later. The future will be long, and you can stay longer." If two people are free, you can wander here as much as you want.”

Yun Jiu'an felt that the air in the south of the Yangtze River was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and said happily: "Sister Hongxiu, this suggestion is good. Xiao Mo, I heard that Jiangnan is not only beautiful, but also has a lot of delicious food. It is fortunate that you are out of Beijing this time. , then the two of us can feast our eyes and mouths."

Lu Xiaomo was also very happy, "There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and there are nobility and luxury everywhere. The Zhongling in the south of the Yangtze River is different, soft-spoken, rich in products, and a land of fish and rice... so to speak, I have lived here a few times. Come back, when the time comes, I will take you to play around and meet more talented scholars and beautiful ladies."

Yun Jiu felt puzzled, "Since you have stayed here several times, you shouldn't have run out after seeing me restless when I went to Jiangnan. Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with you coming to Jiangnan?"

Lu Xiaomo's face froze, and he forced a smile and said: "What are you guessing, I really miss my grandpa, uncles, aunts, cousins, cousins ​​and the like. Can't you just sit still and think about it?"

Something is written in those little eyes.Yun Jiu'an didn't tell the truth in the end, so he couldn't help but be careful.

Song Yanning's other courtyard was located in the west of the city.From a long distance, you can see the courtyard wall surrounded by green willows hanging around, and the shadows of lights flickering.

Nearby, there is a plaque hanging on the lintel, on which there are three characters: Yanjiuju.

After knocking on the door, someone greeted him immediately at the door, greeting Du Cheng and Xue Hongxiu while helping to pick up some things.

Hongxiu called the older middle-aged man Uncle Wan, and the younger one Brother Qi.After entering inside, another woman in charge, Songgu, who was about the same age as Uncle Wan, took them to the Chuihua Gate Tower.

Along the way, you can only see corridors on all sides, corridors in the courtyard, dotted with mountains and rocks, a pool around, and green bamboos, making the whole courtyard look exquisite, elegant and full of flowers.

"Knowing that Miss Yun and Miss Lu are coming together, Uncle Wan has asked us to clean up the two guest rooms in Qingyi Garden. The guest room has already prepared the daily items of the girl's household. If there is anything missing, you can call the staff in the garden. Dongqing and Pinellia go to buy. The two girls are tired all the way, wash and rest first, and let the kitchen serve the food later."

Songgu is well dressed, her words and deeds are calm and orderly.

Xue Hongxiu also said: "You two don't need to be cautious here. There are no other elders in this courtyard, and adults often come to live there. Including the kitchen and a few cleaning staff, there are only a dozen or so people in total, and the staff is not complicated. Your Excellency will definitely not be able to get away from Leyang's business for a while, you two just treat it as if you are at your own home, eat and wear whatever you want, just order it."

Lu Xiaomo smiled openly, "Since sister Hongxiu said so, then I'm really being rude."

Xue Hongxiu smiled and said: "Naturally. Lord Lu and our Lord are best friends. You are not only his sister, but also a close friend of our future wife. You can do whatever you want here."

Future lady?Yun Jiuan also got a big blush from the name she suddenly popped out.

Lu Xiaomo bumped into her furtively, and whispered between his teeth, "Mrs. Song, the little girl has gained some glory with you..."

With Songgu here, Yun Jiuan didn't want to gossip with her, so he straightened his face, "Miss Lu, please be more cautious."

Lu Xiaomo made a "cut", and was too lazy to argue with this prudish little girl at this moment.

After confirming the room, two dexterous maids who looked similar to their age came to serve them. They not only brought food, but also helped them roll out the quilt.

After questioning, I found out that the thinner one was Dongqing, and the one with a round face was Pinellia.

Even though it was night, the meals made in the kitchen were not compromised. They were full of color, aroma, half of Jiangnan style, half of Pingjing city style, which was quite appetizing.

They were too tired to keep their eyes open, so the two ate a little, washed up, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

This time, Yun Jiu'an fell into a deep sleep, and didn't wake up until near noon the next day, when she vaguely heard shouting and talking from outside.

Hearing the noise in the room, Banxia cleverly pushed open the door, "Is Miss Yun going to get up?"

Yun Jiu'an rubbed his eyes, "Who is talking outside? Has the lord come back?"

"No, Miss Lu's elder brother and her fiancé came to pick her up. Master Lu is so fierce that he almost beat Miss Lu." Ban Xia stuck out her tongue cutely, then ran away again, "Wait a minute Yes, I'm going to fetch water for the girl."

Unexpectedly, both Lu Jingxuan and Qin Shu came.That's right, this time Lu Xiaomo went out of Beijing without authorization and was in danger, and almost killed Li Yan. It's no wonder that Lu Jingxuan, as the elder brother, didn't get mad.

After she got dressed and washed, she followed Ban Xia to the small hall in the front yard, and she saw Lu Jingxuan with a dark face like Bao Gong sitting on the grand teacher's chair drinking cup after cup of tea.

"Brother Lu, I heard you scolded Xiao Mo, where is she?"

She asked as soon as she entered the door, Lu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment when she saw her, then looked her up and down, and asked uncertainly, "Yun Jiu'an?"

Yun Jiu'an smiled, "You can't even recognize me, can you?"

Lu Jingxuan stood up, held her shoulders and looked her up and down again. After a while, he shouted suddenly: "What a Song Yanning, who just tricked my sister into being Mrs. Yazhai so quietly, It’s cheap for him, an old fox.”
