Shen Miao happily got on the carriage and followed her mother and aunt to leave the capital and go all the way to the border town.
Lei Xiaoxue looked at her daughter, whose face was full of joy, and couldn't help but ask: "Miao'er, do you really not want to stay in the capital?"
Shen Miao was a little strange: "Mom, you have asked me three times along the way. Didn't I answer it already? Although the capital is nice, it is not our home. Wherever dad is, we will be there."
Lei Xiaoxue smiled and changed the topic hastily.
Feng Shaojun saw this and was secretly amused.
Shen Miao had been close to Feng Shaojun since she was a child. She rested in the post house at night and quietly sneaked into Feng Shaojun's house: "Fourth Aunt, my mother has been acting strange recently. Did something happen?"
Feng Shaojun looked at Shen Miao's clear black eyes, and decided to keep this secret forever. He smiled casually and said: "Your mother plans to let you make a marriage arrangement with the Fang family's eldest son after she returns to the border town. She can't bear to leave you in her heart. It is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.”
Mentioning Fang Dalang, Shen Miao's black eyes were full of joy and she whispered a little shyly: "The Fang family is next door. In the future, when I marry to the Fang family, I can go back to my natal family to accompany my mother every day. What does she have? I can’t bear to part with it!”
Mentioning her little bamboo horse, Shen Miao's pretty face shone brightly.
That's the joy a girl feels when she mentions her sweetheart.
Feng Shaojun smiled again and reached out to touch Shen Miao's pretty face: "That's what I advised her too. Your mother can't let you go, so just show her filial piety."
Shen Miao obediently nodded in agreement and whispered: "Fourth Aunt, there is one thing I will only tell you. I always feel that His Highness the Grand Sun is paying special attention to me and secretly looks at me every time we meet."
"In order to avoid trouble in the future, I'd better go back early."
Feng Shaojun: "..."
You really can't underestimate anyone.
It turned out that Shen Miao was not really unaware of anything. She just pretended to be ignorant and did not know what her grandson was thinking and quickly left the capital.
Feng Shaojun wanted to laugh, but he actually laughed: "We have returned to the border town. It doesn't matter what the grandson thinks. Don't mention the word grandson to others."
Shen Miao nodded seriously: "Okay."
During the following journey, Shen Miao did not mention her grandson again.
More than half a month later, the group finally returned to the border town.
It was spring when I left, and it was already early autumn when I came back. The cool breeze of early autumn in the border town was rustling. Shen You, Shen Jia and Fangpeng were waiting outside the city gate. Several members of Cui Yuanhan's family also came to greet them.
The tall young man beside Fang Peng has a slightly dark complexion, a handsome face, and bright eyes. He is Fang Yang, the eldest son of the Fang family.
Fang Yang stretched his neck and looked around.
When the motorcade came into view from afar, Fang Yang grinned with excitement. He couldn't hold it back anymore and walked up to play with it.
Shen Jia glanced at the rough future son-in-law and felt a little disgusted.
Look at this useless look!
Fang Peng also disliked him very much: "This kid seems to have lost his soul in the past few months. He is really hopeless. Now that he is so far away, just go up to him."
Shen Jia was unhappy again after hearing this, and rolled his eyes at Fang Peng: "If you want to marry my girl, why don't you be more attentive?"
Fang Peng was very thief, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "You have accepted it! Get them engaged as soon as possible! With the engagement, that silly boy Da Lang will feel at ease."
Shen Jia rarely kept a straight face and acted like a mean father-in-law: "Miao'er is only thirteen years old, there is no reason to get engaged so early. Just wait a little longer."
For the sake of his son's lifelong event, Fang Peng put down his body and face, and bowed repeatedly: "Good brother, don't wait any longer. Get the children engaged first. There is no harm in getting married later."
Shen Jia put on all her airs.
Shen You saw this and was very amused.
At this time, the motorcade was getting closer and closer. Shen You couldn't hold back anymore and strode forward.
A small face as big as a palm poked out, and shouted sweetly: "Dad!"
Shen You's heart melted, and the corners of his mouth raised high.
Feng Shaojun's pretty and smiling face was also revealed.
Shen You's mood suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but whisper: "You are finally back. Don't leave again. These days I'm heartbroken thinking about you."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled.
…
"Sister Miao," Fang Yang said, his face flushed with excitement and his eyes sparkling when he saw the sweetheart he had longed for. "You are finally back. You have been gone for several months, and I miss you every day."
Shen Miao's pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were also shining with joy. However, her mother and brother were around, so she could not say anything.
One of them was sitting on the carriage, the other was standing beside the carriage, smiling at each other.
Lei Xiaoxue looked at the silly future son-in-law and felt funny in her heart. She coughed and said, "Da Lang, your mother and your brothers are in the carriage behind. You go over and take a look first."
Fang Yang reluctantly responded and said to Shen Miao in a low voice: "I will see you again after I go back and settle down."
Shen Miao smiled and hummed.
Half a day later.
Fang Yang jumped up and climbed up the tree like an ape. He jumped from the branches to the wall with familiarity, and then jumped down again.
In a few breaths, he climbed over the wall and entered Shen Yuan's house.
Ever since he was little, he had climbed over this eight-foot-high wall countless times. It was easier than entering his own home.
Fang Yang slipped under an osmanthus tree, picked a leaf, leaned against the osmanthus tree, put the leaf to his mouth and blew, making a crisp sound like a bird's call.
In less than one stick of incense, a bright and graceful girl appeared in front of me.
Fang Yang grinned: "Sister Miao."
Shen Miao responded with a smile.
The two grew up together and were very familiar with each other. Somehow, after not seeing each other for several months, they felt a little shy when they were suddenly alone.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. They obviously had a lot to say and didn't know where to start.
The two of them just giggled at each other for a moment.
Fang Yang was the first to break the silence: "Sister Miao, you have been gone for so many days, and I miss you every day."
Shen Miao glared at him: "You are in the military camp on weekdays and only take two days off every month. How can you have time to miss me every day? You just talk casually to coax me."
Fang Yang took out a small dagger from his arms and pretended to draw it on his chest.
Shen Miao was so amused that she laughed: "What are you going to do?"
Fang Yang said nonsense seriously: "If you don't believe what I say, I will take out my heart and show it to you."
Shen Miao laughed at him and reached out to snatch the dagger from his hand. Fang Yang let go of his right hand and quickly covered it with his left hand.
The boy's palms were warm and even a little wet.
They had touched each other's hands before, even more intimately when they were learning to ride horses a few years ago.
This time, the feeling is different.
The familiar handsome face was a little dark red and a little nervous. He stammered and said: "Sister Miao, let's get engaged first, okay?"
Shen Miao's cheeks were red and she responded softly: "Okay."
