Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then she pointed at the door and looked at Mi Xiayao.
"This is... your home?"
Mi Xiayao looked at the door of the mansion, which was the same as in her memory, with a happy smile in her eyes.
"To be precise, this is the ancestral home of the Mi family, not my real home."
She took Gu Yun out of the carriage, and just when she stood firm, the door in the center was opened heavily.
Behind the gate, the leader is a steward wearing a black robe.
Behind the steward were five maids and five attendants. In their hands, they held gold basins, brocade handkerchiefs and other objects used for washing dust.
"Miss!" The old housekeeper burst into tears the moment he saw Mi Xiayao.
He stepped out, beckoned to the maids and attendants behind him, and walked around them first.
After the two of them washed their hands, they also tidied up the two children carefully and thoughtfully.
Mi Xiayao smiled and said to the old housekeeper: "I'm just going home, there's no need for such a big battle."
The old housekeeper snorted, "Miss, I don't know. Originally, I wanted to greet you directly at the gate of the city. Later, the eldest young master said that this battle was too high-profile and inappropriate. In the end, I deleted it and only opened the gate."
.”
Mi Xiayao's gentle smile never dissipated, she just glanced sideways at Gu Yun.
I couldn’t tell what the meaning behind this sentence was at the moment.
As they entered the main gate of Mi Mansion in Qingzhou, the green hills, gardens and rockery pools were completely different from the dry landscape styles in the capital.
It seems more lively and joyful here.
They walked through the corridor and walked into the hall, where they saw Mi Hanhai, whom they had not seen for a long time, standing in the hall walking back and forth.
When Mi Hanhai saw Mi Xiayao and the others finally arriving, before anyone could walk in, he walked out to pick up his daughter himself.
"Are you tired from running around on the road? Are you tired? Xiaobao! Do you still remember grandpa?!"
As soon as Mi Hanhai saw Mi Xiayao and Mi Xiaobao, his eyebrows and eyes, which were somewhat similar to Mi Xiayao's, were immediately filled with smiles.
“It’s okay to arrive on the road, not too busy.”
Mi Xiayao took over what Mi's father said, and they walked towards the hall while reminiscing about old times.
It can be seen that Mi's father really likes Mi Xiaobao. Seeing his familiar grandfather, Mi Xiaobao has not yet recognized his birth, so he happily plays with his grandfather. During this period, Mi Xiaobao does not forget to take the little girl of the Gu family around Mi's father.
"Recently, there have been many new merchants in Qingzhou City. As the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, your brother has been very busy during this period. With the increase of merchants, Qingzhou seems to be a bit over-the-top. Your brother is worried about extraneous matters and is afraid that others will think
Our Mi family deliberately puts on airs in Qingzhou, so we don’t dare to be too extravagant and attract dust."
Mi's father was worried that Mi Xiayao felt that her family did not value her, so he quickly explained the reason for today.
In fact, Mi Xiayao herself doesn't care about the size of these battles. Her purpose of coming to Qingzhou is very simple, she just wants to see her father and spend time with him.
"It's okay, the Mi family is now considered one of the big families in Qingzhou, and has a slightly higher status than the capital. I understand this. As a child from the capital, how can I not understand this!?"
Mi Xiayao turned to this topic with a teasing tone.
When Mi's father saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that his daughter wouldn't mind. He quickly said, "It's okay. I'll ask your brother to hold a cleaning banquet for you at the largest restaurant in the Mi family tonight. Mrs. Gu will be here
Let’s catch up together and get to know these people in Qingzhou City.”
Mi Xiayao and Gu Yun looked at each other and responded with a smile.
Then, Mi Xia Yao looked a little more serious in the next second.
"Father, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about alone."
Mi Xiayao thought for a while, she still had to tell Mi's father about going to Linzhou.
Gu Yun wisely stood up and walked out, looking at the two children chasing and playing crazy in the yard.
"What difficulties did you encounter?" Mi's father asked her worriedly after watching Gu Yun walk out.
Mi Xiayao smiled and said, "No, when we came all the way from the capital, we stopped temporarily in Linzhou, and we met Duan Honglin there."
"Didn't you say in your previous letter that he disappeared and abandoned Mrs. Lin and her unborn heir? How come this person has appeared somewhere else now?"
Mi Xiayao said frankly: "I don't know the reason, but his appearance in Linzhou made my daughter think that this matter must not be simple."
"The Duan family and I had a deep grudge at the beginning, and my daughter is worried that he is approaching with the purpose of revenge."
"Then let's see if he has the ability to dare to touch the Mi family in Qingzhou!?"
Mi Hanhai frowned, and immediately his tone slightly rose in anger.
Mi Xiayao was afraid that her father would be too angry, so she hurriedly whispered: "Now Duan Honglin doesn't know that I have come to Qingzhou. My daughter is thinking about entrusting the child to her father for the time being. Sister Gu Yun and I are going to Linzhou to investigate. If nothing unexpected happens, maybe
Will open a shop in Linzhou to do business..."
"That's great. Although you and your brother rarely communicate, your judgments are always surprisingly the same!"
When Mi Hanhai heard Mi Xiayao's words, he immediately became happy and had no intention of retorting.
"Previously, your brother had speculated that the sales of merchant shops in Linzhou would skyrocket. According to some rumors in Linzhou, someone discovered a spring spouting warm water in the back hill of Linzhou City. Not surprisingly, it should be a hot spring pool. If
If it can be opened to commercialization in the future, it should drive the status of merchants in Linzhou City to rise."
Mi Xiayao really didn't know that there was a warm water spring in the mountain behind Linzhou City.
She was surprised for a moment, and then asked again: "This spring...?"
"That spring is owned by a local aristocratic family in Linzhou City. Your brother only found out about it when he was chatting at the Chamber of Commerce."
Mi Xiayao felt a little regretful in her heart. If this spring could be collected by the Mi family, maybe they could make a lot of money in the future.
While the father and daughter were chatting about the recent local information in Qingzhou and Linzhou, there was a sudden noise in the front yard.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a slender man walking over with almost meteoric strides.
Mi Xiayao subconsciously looked sideways.
The man walking towards him naturally saw Mi Xiayao.
"Ayao!" His clear voice was full of irrepressible joy.
The man in front of him gradually matched the figure of the young man in his memory.
The smile in Mi Xiayao's eyes deepened little by little.
"elder brother!"
Mi Jinghuan stepped into the house, and with his ardent eyes he repeatedly confirmed that the sister had no missing arms. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"My father and I heard earlier that you had reconciled with that boy from the Duan family, but you didn't say you were going back to Qingzhou, and you even went straight to the capital. We were so frightened that we spent that night discussing who would stay in Qingzhou and take charge."
