Leaving Nanyuan, the Xu family's motorcade moved slowly along the official road.
Nowadays, the world is not peaceful and there are few pedestrians on the road.
Xu Ze stared at the surroundings with vigilance. Suddenly, the grass on the roadside swayed. He was so excited that he grabbed his sword and shouted: "If there is any situation, please protect me quickly!"
He shouted, and the guards responded quickly, surrounding the carriage and taking a defensive posture.
However, there was no movement for a long time.
Wei Jun asked: "Master, what's going on?"
Xu Ze pointed to the grass: "It suddenly shook just now. I wonder if there was an ambush."
With both ladies here, Wei Jun didn't dare to be careless and immediately sent a small team to explore the way.
Not long after, the team came back, and the leading guard was carrying a rabbit: "This is it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled one after another. Some people joked: "I caught game when I went out, so I can give the two ladies an extra dish tonight."
"Hahahaha, it would be better to have two more. The fried rabbit meat is so delicious."
The guards rearranged their formation and continued moving forward.
Xu Ze was very embarrassed and apologized to Wei Jun in a low voice: "I'm sorry for scaring you all in vain."
After all, he is also the master. Wei Jun comforted him: "You are so polite, eldest son. You should be so vigilant. After all, there are two young ladies here, so you cannot be too careful. Otherwise, what if it is true?"
Xu Ze was very happy: "So, I did nothing wrong?"
"Of course not! It's just a mistake to find out. What if it is true? Then you will regret it." After saying that, Wei Jun sighed, "If those newly appointed guards are like you
It’s great to be alert. They can’t even teach you how to do it. Even if you’re like a young master, you don’t need to be taught.”
Xu Ze was encouraged and became more and more interested. One moment he heard the chirping of birds and thought it was someone else's signal. The next moment he met a businessman and suspected it was a spy.
The guards were tortured by him for two days, and they secretly complained to Wei Jun: "The eldest son is so startled, we will be scared to death. If this continues, no matter what happens, we will not be alert. You
Not even trying to persuade him, but encouraging him!"
Wei Jun said: "What do you know? This is the first time for the eldest son to go out, so he will inevitably be excited. Look, after a few days of tossing like this, he will have no strength. If he is not convinced now, I'm afraid he will have to torment.
It’s so tiring to go to Dongjiang!”
That seems to make sense?
The guards were patient and did everything Xu Ze said, showing no regrets.
Then, Xu Ze couldn't hold it any longer.
Every time there was some trouble, the guards searched and searched, but in the end nothing was found. It was all an illusion, right? Maybe this road is not that dangerous.
Five days later, the convoy left Nanyuan and entered the boundary of Dongjiang.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wei Jun went to ask for instructions: "You two ladies, there is an inn ahead. Can we rest there tonight?"
Xu Si replied: "Okay, you go make arrangements."
"yes."
Not long after, Wei Jun came to ask them to get out of the car.
The two sisters put on the power fence and each entered the inn accompanied by the maid.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people in the inn, and the hall was almost full.
Seeing them coming in, the guests all looked over and chatted in low voices.
"Whose lady is this? There are so many guards, so grand."
"Coming from Nanyuan. There is a emblem on the carriage. It seems that he is from the Xu family."
"Nanyuan Xu family? Could it be Xu Huan's daughter?"
"But the Xu family? No wonder even the maids are so beautiful. Although they can't see their faces, their figure and demeanor mean they are not ordinary people."
"It is said that the Xu family's twin girls are stunningly beautiful. It would be a life worth living if we could meet them once!"
"Don't think about looking at your face. There are so many guards here. If you dare to get close, they will arrest you. Just be satisfied if you can take a look at me from a distance. You can boast about it for the rest of your life when you go back!"
After discussing for a while, someone asked: "How come the Xu family's twin sisters are here? I heard just now that there seems to be only one eldest son accompanying them. Where are they going?"
"Maybe it's a visit to relatives? Mrs. Xu's natal family seems to be in Dongjiang."
"What? Mrs. Xu has passed away a long time ago, and the two families don't have much contact."
"What else can you do?"
"Are you stupid? It's already September, and the Dongjiang Palace is holding an autumn banquet, and many ladies from aristocratic families have been invited!"
"Ah! Are you talking about the matter of Prince Dongjiang choosing his concubine?"
"That's right! With the Xu family's family background, you are qualified enough."
"Yes, Miss Xu is already old enough to leave the cabinet."
"Miss Xu is a good match for the Crown Prince of Dongjiang, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
"yes……"
…
Xu Yin closed the window and said with a smile: "These people are quite smart. We guessed the purpose as soon as we appeared."
Xu Si said while taking off her makeup: "There must be a lot of noble ladies invited, right? Maybe they are used to it."
Xu Yin was changed by Xiao Man and said: "So sister, if you want to be the Crown Princess of Dongjiang, you have to behave well!"
Xu Si rolled his eyes at her: "As soon as you go out, you don't have any serious words in your mouth."
Xu Yin laughed: "I care about your life-long matter, sister!"
The two sisters were chatting and laughing while washing and changing clothes.
After taking care of it, dinner was served, and Wei Jun also came to report.
Xu Si asked him: "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to use some here?"
Wei Jun smiled and refused: "The eldest son is still waiting. I will have dinner with him later."
Xu Si nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Yin was too lazy to be polite to him and asked directly: "What's the matter?"
Wei Jun explained the arrangements for the escort, and finally asked: "What do you think of this, Miss Third? Is there anything wrong with it?"
Xu Yin nodded: "Just follow your arrangement."
Wei Jun agreed and then heard her ask: "Brother, are you okay? Have you given up?"
Seeing her smile, Wei Jun thought of Xu Ze's behavior in the past few days and also smiled: "Fortunately, the eldest young master has already understood."
Xu Yin nodded: "That's good, don't just watch his jokes, teach him more."
Wei Jun complained: "How dare I see the eldest son's joke? It's just the first time he goes out. It may not work. Let him experience it better."
"Okay, okay," Xu Yin didn't know who he was, so he just told him, "Anyway, keep an eye on him and don't let anything happen to him."
Wei Jun should be like this. In fact, he is not too worried about the third lady when he goes out this time. He has been to Yongcheng with him. He knows how brave the third lady is, but the eldest young master needs to be more careful.
He resigned and went back to his room.
Logically speaking, Xu Ze is the master and lives alone in a room. But he has been hit hard these days and realizes that he is not as good as himself. He insists on living with Wei Jun so that he can learn something. It happens that the room is not enough, so Wei Jun agrees.
After the two of them had eaten, Xu Ze went to bed first.
Wei Jun asked: "Master, don't you keep watch all night?"
Xu Ze waved his hand: "I won't keep watch anymore, I won't keep watch anymore. I kept watch a few days ago and I gave you a lot of trouble."
Wei Jun couldn't help laughing and said goodbye to him: "I'm going down then."
