Xia Xun quickly walked up to Xiao Di, who was wearing a knee-length rag cotton jacket, and held her hands. [ ] Her small hands were cool, her chin was pointed, her eyes were big, and her eyebrows were
The mouth is small and curved, and the cheeks are slightly flushed from the cold.
"Xiaodi, you have lost weight. Are your injuries healed? Come on, let me."
Xia Xun couldn't help but rolled up one of her coat sleeves, and touched the skin on her wrist with his big warm hands. The wound had healed, but the color was darker than other parts of the skin. When he touched it gently, it felt like it was still there.
It's missing some softness.
Xiaodi looked at him with some confusion, because of his intimate behavior, and then her face slowly turned red, with a little shyness, a little joy, a little sweetness, and then she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed obediently.
Let him hold your shoulders.
"It's really good."
Xia Xun said happily, then pulled the package on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaodi, what are you talking about?"
Xia Xun opened the baggage, and a beautiful fur coat stretched out as if it had been blown by air. It was very soft and extremely elastic. The fur coat was white, as white as snow, and the collar was made of fox fur.
It was as red as a ball of flame. Xia Xun shook his head slightly, and a luxurious fur coat appeared in front of Xiaodi.
"Wow!"
Xiaodi's big eyes suddenly opened even wider. She bent down and put down the puppy, reaching out to touch it, but she quickly retracted her hand. The fur coat was too beautiful and expensive, so she could only touch it.
He didn't even have the courage to say, "Is this the dress that the young master is going to give to the young lady? It's so beautiful, so beautiful. The young lady will definitely like it."
"Young lady?
When Xia Xun received three firefox fur collars as a gift, he immediately thought of Xiaodi and Peng Ziqi, but did not think of the third woman at all, so he calmly gave the third one to Sister-in-law Xiaodong of the Ximen family. Now he still listens to Xiaodong.
When Oi mentioned it, he suddenly realized that he still had a wife who had not yet married.
This time he returned to the south of the Yangtze River with great fanfare, and one of the most important things was to get married to the daughter of the Xie family in Chen County. However, in his heart, he did not even think of this girl he had never met.
Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "No, this is for you."
"Me...mine?"
Xiaodi chuckled, wearing that gorgeous fur coat, and timidly shaking her head: "I...how can I wear such clothes? No, it's too expensive."
Only then did Xia Xun realize that after being away for more than a month, Xiaodi had not only lost weight, but her expression and temperament were also a little different from before. This innocent little girl seemed to have grown up.
"Who said you can't wear expensive clothes? We haven't seen each other for only a month. Are you already unfamiliar with me?"
Xia Xun said, shaking off his fur coat with a smile: "Come on, put it on and try it on. I'll guess what I made for you to see if it fits you. If it's fat, go to the fur clothing store to have it altered."
Looking at Xia Xun's unquestionable gaze, Xiaodi obediently opened her arms and asked Xia Xun to put the soft and warm fur coat on her body and tie the belt.
"Beautiful! So beautiful!"
Xia Xun looked up and down and praised happily.
It is true that people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold. With just this fur coat on her upper body, Xiaodi immediately changed a lot. She was dressed in snow-white fur, wrapped in a slender person, with a fiery red fox tail collar, and a furry figure.
, surrounded by a small melon-seed face, like the stamens of a red flower, delicate and charming. The little girl immediately turned into a charming lady.
Xiaodi said happily: "Yes, this robe is very, very beautiful."
Xia Xun smiled and said, "I'm talking about people, not clothes."
Xiaodi was stunned, her face quickly turned red, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
The young master is very generous to her and never treats her like a servant. However, the young master has never bought anything for her since she grew up. He just throws a handful of money to her and buys whatever she likes. That kind of thing.
The feeling is completely different from the warm and sweet feeling at this moment. She would rather have her brother who bought candy for her who was drooling when she was a child, holding a dollar in her hand, than having that cent.
The young master stuffed a large amount of treasure money into her hand without hesitation, and she seemed to experience this feeling again in Xia Xun.
She lowered her pink neck and said shyly: "Thank you, brother."
Xia Xun also smiled and wanted to touch her head. At this moment, Manager Xiao hurriedly came over and shouted before he even saw the courtyard door: "Master, Master, Mr. Peng is here to visit."
Xia Xun was startled and thought to himself: "Isn't she hiding outside Qingzhou Mansion waiting for me to go south together? Why did she come here again? Is there something urgent?"
Xia Xun didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said to Xiaodi and rushed to the front yard. As soon as he entered the living room, Xia Xun saw Peng Ziqi standing in the hall with his hands behind his hands, with the murderous Ghost Eye knife hanging under his ribs.
With his hands behind his back, he looked at the picture of Han Xizai entertaining guests on the six-peach yellow rosewood screen.
Xia Xun came out of the hall and could only see her side face. The charming little woman on the bed still looked so heroic once she put on men's clothes.
Xia Xun hurriedly walked to her side and asked in a low voice: "Ziqi, what happened?"
Peng Ziqi turned around slowly, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Do you know me?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Oh, we have never met, but your sister has mentioned the young master many times in front of Yang. Therefore, although Yang and the young master are strangers, they are as friendly as good friends who have known each other for many years. Haha, Yang looks like you.
I'm two years old. Isn't it too much to call you Ziqi?"
Xia Xun said, secretly sticking out his tongue: "My dear, it turns out that my brother-in-law is here. He looks so much like Zi Qi. Fortunately... fortunately, their names have homophonic sounds. Otherwise, this time
It’s exposed.”
Ziqi glanced at him with some doubts. He didn't expect that his sister and the boy in front of him would progress so quickly and become a real couple. He didn't expect that the boy would react so quickly and get married right away without changing his expression.
It was his own slip of the tongue, so he accepted this explanation and said: "Your Excellency is a man of great fame. Peng is a country man and does not dare to call you a brother. Peng came to visit this time because he heard that Young Master Yang had returned to his hometown.
Come and ask the young master about something."
Xia Xun vaguely guessed his purpose, and hurriedly raised his hands and responded: "Master, please tell me, Yang knows everything."
Peng Ziqi hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak. He pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "Well, that's it. A few days after my sister-in-law returned to Zhizhu Mansion, she...well, she left a letter saying that she wanted to travel
Jianghu, it will take a while to come back. A girl's family, even if she is skilled in martial arts, is not safe after all, and her parents are very concerned about her."
Xia Xun hurriedly said: "Oh, Ziqi...ah! Mr. Peng, Yang knows nothing about your sister's whereabouts. I have never seen her since she returned home."
Peng Ziqi said: "I know, I know, I mean...well...Mr. Yang was protected by his sister-in-law for three months. During that time, apart from protecting the young master, did his sister-in-law have any contact with anyone?
, what happened, have you ever talked about anything, such as where you wanted to go for a walk?"
Xia Xun thought to himself: "I'm going back to Jiangnan with Ziqi in two days, so I'd better send my uncle away, otherwise it might ruin my big event. What can I say? You can't say anything in Jiangnan.
It would be a big mistake for him to go to the south of the Yangtze River, nor to the north. The Peng family has a wide network of contacts. If he goes to Beiping Mansion, he might be able to find out that there was a handsome boy who looked like a virgin next to me, holding a ghost-eye knife.
.Zi Qi can’t talk about places he has never been to. I don’t know who my brother-in-law has already inquired about and how many things he knows. If he makes some nonsense and he finds out, he will be suspicious of me."
Xia Xun thought, frowned and said: "Well, I really haven't heard Miss Peng say anything. You know, at that time Miss Peng was still by my side as a man, and she didn't talk much.
Hmm... I remember when we were in Putai County, we worked together to uncover an evil gentry who raped women and brought harm to the village..."
Peng Ziqi said, "I've heard about this. What, what's the problem?"
Xia Xun said: "It's nothing. At that time, out of righteous indignation, we worked together with us to capture the murderer. There were also two students, one named Ji Gang and the other named Gao Xianning. These two scholars were brave, courageous and outstanding in character. My sister was
I admire them very much..."
Peng Ziqi's face suddenly became troubled. The implication behind Yang Xu's words was that it was embarrassing. Did his sister fall in love with one of them and run away with him?
Peng Ziqi immediately asked: "Does Young Master Yang know where those two people are from?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Of course I know their hometown, but they are not in their hometown. Right now they are studying at a friend's house in Jinan Prefecture to prepare for the provincial examination next spring." Then he told him the address of Liu's house.
.
Peng Ziqi thought to himself: "Anyway, I can't find her anywhere. Now that I have this news, I might as well go to Jinan to find out what's going on." So he immediately handed over his hand and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yang, for the information. If I can find my sister-in-law, Peng Ziqi will be happy."
Someone will come to thank you." He turned around and walked out.
Xia Xun looked at his back and thought to himself: "My brother-in-law is quite a straightforward person. I just hope that he will know the truth one day and won't break my leg easily. The Peng family has a family and business in Qingzhou, and when they arrived in Jinan Prefecture
I would never dare to be rough on a few scholars with a good reputation at will. Brother Ji, Brother Gao, if my brothers are in trouble, just resist for me for a while."
The next day, Xia Xun went to the Prince of Qi's Mansion. The Prince of Qi was fully dressed and was going hunting with great interest. Accompanying him were Cao Yu and Jiang Zhiqing. The two of them looked proud of the spring breeze, and when they arrived at Xia Xun, they were quite excited.
The new couple was so excited that the old ones were crying. Unfortunately, when Xia Xun saw them, he looked calm and showed no envy or jealousy towards the two of them being favored by the King of Qi.
Xia Xun reported the story of his trip to Peking to King Qi. He spoke very plainly and did not mention anything unrelated to this business. Finally, he said: "As for Peking, Xie Chuanzhong has promised to contact the source of goods on his behalf in the future and make a long-term deal."
Trading, and because this business lasted for a long time, the dividend he drew was only 1 in 20. Considering that Xie Chuanzhong had to contact the source of goods in the north for the prince, communicate with the local government, and arrange transportation by car and ship, he actually did not get much from it, so
The villain agreed."
"One out of twenty? In fact, it's not that small. The imperial court only pays thirty taxes."
King Qi frowned, then smiled and said: "However, he doesn't know that I am the master behind this business. It is not easy for you to negotiate with this local snake to a score of 20 to 1."
Xia Xun said: "Thank you for your compliments from the prince. I have done my best in your affairs. I don't dare to be careless. I will return to my hometown to get married soon. When I go, I will inevitably have to sacrifice to my ancestors and be friendly to the village. I will not be swayed by my relatives."
, tidying up the house, after a lot of work, I am afraid it will not be short, and the next business..."
Cao Yu immediately puffed up his chest. King Qi pointed at him and said, "You can just leave this matter to Xiao Cao."
Xia Xun bowed again: "Yes, I will obey the prince's instructions."
King Qi raised his whip lightly and said: "I am about to go hunting. Since you are determined to return home and are busy with all the preparations, I will not take you with me. Yang Xu, I am very relieved that you are doing things."
, Returning home in splendid clothes, of course, it must be a glorious one. When things happen in your hometown, come back with your family, I will still use you."
Xia Xun leaned forward and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Yes, I know the prince's caring heart. If there are no other instructions, I will go back now. I wish the prince a fruitful return from this trip."
King Qi laughed, lifted up his scarlet cloak, and strode out.
Xia Xun stepped aside, looking at the back of Prince Qi as he walked away, and thought to himself: "When I meet the prince again, I'm afraid he will be in Yingtian Mansion, right? Prince Qi, take care of yourself!"
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
According to the almanac, this day is suitable for fasting, moving, moving into a house, and breaking ground. Manager Xiao was solemn and solemn, and set this day as the day for Young Master Yang Xuyang to return home in fine clothes.
On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head. It’s time for Yang Dingkun’s room to be successful! The loyal manager Xiao was gearing up to think.
Under the watchful eyes of countless caring people, Xia Xun, who had stirred up troubles in Qingzhou but no one knew about it, calmly left with his family and twenty carts.
Along the way, they had to pass through Linqu, Mulinguan, Yishui, and Yizhou, cross the Yellow River from Xuzhou, pass through Fengyang, the capital, and arrive at Moling Town, Yingtian Prefecture. Thirty miles away from the city, the team quietly added one person. She was
Peng Ziqi has changed back into women's clothing.
The servants were not surprised that a beautiful woman suddenly appeared next to the young master. Their young master had always been romantic, so it was strange that there was no beautiful woman around him. Manager Xiao was not surprised either, because Xia Xun had already revealed to him the Peng family's elder sister in advance.
The young lady made a private life-long contract with him and wanted to go south to Yingtian Mansion with him.
The ones who were really surprised were Xiao Di and her mother. Xiao Di did not expect that the handsome brother of the Peng family was actually a woman, but the wife of the Xiao family clearly felt that this beautiful woman was a threat to her precious daughter's status. She originally thought that with her
Due to the deep relationship between her daughter and the young master, Mrs. Ru could not escape the seat of the first house. Unexpectedly, the young master and his entourage in Peiping were taken first by the vixen named Peng.
Fortunately, her own daughter also owns one of her luxurious fur clothes, which shows that her daughter's status in the heart of the young master is not inferior to that of Peng Ziqi. So along the way, the Xiao family's wife took every opportunity to instigate... uh...
...Teach your daughter to be closer to the young master.
Xiaodi was very annoyed, but she didn't dare to embarrass her mother, so after passing Xuzhou, she moved to sleep with her sister Peng.
As a result, Xia Xun couldn't laugh anymore, and he started to feel a little annoyed, a little annoyed...
