Chapter 202 Leaving(1/2)
Private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
Everyone from the Xia family is here.
Xia Hu stood by the window, looked at the carriage that had just passed, turned around and asked, "Are we really not going to see off our second aunt?"
Father Xia was sitting at the table drinking tea. After listening to his grandson's words, he put down the tea cup and said, "The situation in the world is too complicated now, so we won't cause trouble to your second aunt. We have been keeping a low profile for so long since we have been in Lingnan. Since
This way it should have a beginning and an end.”
Xia Hu shook his fan and shook his head: "Our family is low-key, just relative to ordinary people. In front of the powerful, our family is transparent in front of them. None of the powerful people know our relationship with the second aunt."
Xia Qingshan glanced at his third son and scolded with a smile: "Don't talk about whether you have something or not. You just want to follow your second aunt to Jiankang!"
Xia Hu chuckled: "Dad still understands me."
"It's useless to understand. If you can't go, you can't go!"
Cause trouble!"
Xia Hu's smile faded, and he turned around and leaned against the window again. His depressed look made people want to laugh.
Xia Di, who was standing nearby and paying attention to the window, asked curiously: "Third brother wants to go to Jiankang so much. Is Jiankang fun?"
Xia Hu hit his head with a fan and said, "I just know how to play!"
He didn't know if Jiankang was fun or not, but he knew that Jiankang would definitely be easy to make money!
Mrs. Chen sighed, with a look of worry on her face, "My mother has been worried since she traveled thousands of miles, but she doesn't know what kind of situation Jing'er will face when she arrives in Jiankang."
Xia Qingshan comforted her: "My little sister has been a right-minded person since she was a child, and she is capable. As long as the prince is on her side, no difficulty will be able to trouble her!"
Mrs. Chen glanced at her heartless son, "No difficulty can trouble her, but she will be tired if she lives like this and has to worry about everything!"
Otherwise, why would there be such a word as “mental and haggard”?
Everyone doesn't know how to answer this. Their family is just a small wealthy family. Even if it is exaggerated, it can only be considered a wealthy family.
The palace, it should be said that it is the royal family's matter now and they have no way to get involved. They are really helpless and powerless towards Xia Jing.
All they can do is try not to cause any trouble for her or hold her back.
The adults were talking, but the younger ones couldn't get in the conversation. Li Yingzi leaned against the window and stared at the long queue outside in a daze.
At this time, a figure outside the window attracted his attention.
"Grandma, grandpa, I'll go out for a while."
"What are you doing out there? There are too many people outside!" Ms. Chen strongly disapproved of the little girl joining in the fun.
Li Yingzi had already rushed to the door of the private room, "I saw a friend, I went out to say hello and will be back soon."
The Xia family looked at the door where the maid disappeared, smiled and shook their heads.
"Master Tong, what a coincidence?"
Tong Song heard the voice behind him and turned around. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Who are you?"
Li Yingzi blushed, it was so embarrassing, it turned out that she didn't remember her at all.
At this time, the maid who was following behind came to the rescue of her master, "My girl is a girl from the Li family. Last time I went out with the prince's girl and met the young master."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Li, please forgive me for being clumsy." Tong Song apologized out of politeness.
Li Yingzi waved her hand, saying it didn't matter.
At this time, Lian Gui ran over and said, "Young Master, the ceremony has been handed over to the palace steward."
Li Yingzi glanced at Lian Gui unexpectedly, "Are you here to see me off?"
Although Lian Gui didn't know what the relationship between this girl and his young master was, he still nodded politely when he saw her asking: "Yes, the princess is leaving today, and many people from Lingnan came to see her off. I don't know how long the line was to see her off.
It’s such a long queue, I guess it will take quite some time for the royal team to leave the city.”
After the convoy leaves the city, and then meets the soldiers and horses that the princess is taking to Jiankang outside the city, it will probably take a day.
I definitely won’t be able to cover much distance on the first day.
Li Yingzi smacked her tongue, "It's better to have power. I wonder how many gifts the princess and aunt will receive this day?"
Tong Song glanced at the dazed Li Yingzi and said to Lian Gui: "Let's go, the others are still waiting."
"Master Tong has booked a private room here?" Li Yingzi saw someone walking in and quickly followed.
"Yes, I have an appointment with a friend."
"Oh, do I know Mr. Tong's friends?" Li Yingzi followed him upstairs.
Lian Gui looked back at her in surprise, seeing another girl who wanted to get close to his young master.
He clicked his tongue in his heart, the eldest young master's skin was very attractive to girls, and he didn't know how many girls came to him.
Tong Song said without turning his head: "Young lady may not recognize you."
Don't make your rejection too obvious.
After going up to the second floor, Li Yingzi saw him stopping at the door of a private room, so she followed him, "It doesn't matter if you don't know him. Mr. Tong introduced us and we got to know each other. We all live in Lingnan. Many friends have many paths."
After hearing her shameless words, Tong Song finally looked at her and smiled meaningfully: "What the girl said makes sense."
The private room door opened, and there were already many people inside.
"Tong Song is here!" Young Master Chen was the first to notice him coming in. He stood up and went to greet him. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Yingzi behind Tong Song, "This is"
Tong Song briefly introduced: "Miss Li Mansion."
Young Master Chen unexpectedly looked at Tong Song and then at Li Yingzi. This was the first time he had brought a girl to their party.
"Miss Li, come and sit quickly, right?"
"Thank you Mr. Chen."
"Haha, you're welcome. Stay away and have tea."
Niu Yongcheng, who had been sitting by the window without moving, said: "Master Tong, you are late today!"
Tong Song sat down and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with the corners of his lips slightly hooked: "There is no way, there are too many people attending the ceremony for the princess."
Niu Yongcheng's lips twitched slightly, "Just let your housekeeper handle this kind of thing. Why do you have to go there in person? Even if you go, you won't be able to see the princess. It would be a huge honor for the housekeeper to receive her in person."
Tong Song was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to Li Yingzi and introduced: "This is the second son of Niu Daren, the chief soldier of Jieyang Guard Station in Lingnan. Niu Yongcheng, you can just call him Er Niu."
Niu Yongcheng immediately stared after hearing this title, "What are you talking about? Mr. Niu!"
Li Yingzi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Brother Erniu, I will call you Brother Erniu from now on. There is Brother Erniu next door to our house, but he is a fool!"
Niu Yongcheng: "."
"Ha ha."
Young Master Chen couldn't help laughing: "I think this is a good title, Brother Erniu!"
Tong Song suppressed a smile and nodded: "Brother Erniu, please take good care of me in the future."
Mou Guangzhen, who was sitting next to Niu Yongcheng, saw his dark face, glanced at Li Yingzi, and said angrily: "Brother Erniu, what do you mean by being so affectionate? Shameless!"
"." Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.
Li Yingzi looked at Tong Song doubtfully, "Who is this?"
"Brother Erniu's concubine!"
He brought the person, and Mou Guangzhen didn't give him face. Naturally, Tong Song would not care about her face and directly exposed her lowly status.
"It's a concubine!" Li Yingzi deliberately prolonged his voice, looked at Mou Guangzhen, and said with a puzzled face: "I heard that concubines like to climb on the bed to seduce people. I wonder if Brother Erniu's concubine climbs on the bed by herself, or...
Did you accept it because Brother Erniu likes it?"
After hearing this, Niu Yongcheng remembered that he had slept with Mou Guangzhen inexplicably, and had lost face in front of the prince, and his face, which was not white at all, turned even darker.
Everyone else pursed their lips, it was really hard to talk about this kind of thing.
Li Yingzi naturally took in everyone's expressions and smiled innocently: "Since I am a bed-crawler, why do you call me shameless?"
After saying that, she did not forget to apply eye drops: "Brother Erniu, your concubine is too arrogant, be careful to cause trouble for you outside!"
"You..." Mou Guangzhen's lungs almost exploded with anger. Whose girl has a grudge against her?
"Okay!" Niu Yongcheng glared at her and warned: "If you want to come out to play, just stay calm!"
Mou Guangzhen shut up immediately, feeling aggrieved and angry, and did not forget to glare at Li Yingzi angrily.
Li Yingzi smiled proudly, "It's useless to stare anymore, and you can't kill me!"
Niu Yongcheng said something to Tong Song that did not distinguish between joy and anger: "The girl you brought has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!"
Li Yingzi was not afraid of him at all, "Brother Erniu praised me, my aunt said, birds fly far away when accompanied by phoenixes, and people with virtuous people are proud of themselves; those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black; things of the same kind flock together, and people are divided into groups. Just like me.
For a person with such a straightforward personality, the friends he makes must have the same personality as me."
As he spoke, he stood up and patted Niu Yongcheng on the shoulder, "Brother Erniu speaks straightforwardly, I like it, and I am determined to be your friend!"
Niu Yongcheng was always very angry, but after being praised like this by her, he didn't dare to express his anger. If he got angry, it didn't mean that his character was not good.
