Long Xiangye coughed lightly when she saw You Qianniang's behavior.

The eldest maid He Rui on the side quickly stepped forward to hold You Qianniang's hand and said with a smile: "Madams, you don't have to be so polite. Although it is not easy for newly widowed people to visit other people's homes, our wife is a generous person."

, Don’t care. Just go and live in our villa in Qujiang Pond. It has great scenery, good water, and all the furniture and utensils are brand new."

Another maid, Mei Xiang, smiled and held You Qianniang's other arm, and said bluntly: "I think you ladies just came to Chang'an City and don't know the origin of Qujiangchi. Do you think our lady is neglecting you? - Okay?

Teach all the ladies to know that the Qujiang Pond is surrounded by

It was built on the Qujiang River, and the nearby Furong Garden and Apricot Garden are the palace of His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the house on the other side of the Qujiang Pool, and the ten houses in the city, are not for people of high status, even if

You can’t buy a house in Qujiangchi even with money!”

You Qianniang looked embarrassed and said, "It's so expensive, so it's even harder for us to live there..."

Du Xiancheng looked at the side with his hands behind his hands for a long time. He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw that Long Xiangye didn't seem to be in vain, he decided to help her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu is a person of integrity. Sister-in-law.

don't want

It’s hard to force someone to do something. Let’s do this, come here! Send the ladies and the young ladies from all the families to stay for one night at the Xinfeng Inn in Shengyefang, West City. I’ve agreed with the innkeeper that all their expenses will be charged to me.

Just go up!"

Long Xiangye knew that Xinfeng Inn was the property of the Du family, so she took Xiao Xiangsheng's arm and said with a smile: "If you dislike the simplicity of the inn, you should go to our villa in Qujiangchi."

Long Xiangye has talked about this, and You Qianniang still shirks it, which really means that she "dislikes the shabby inn". Besides, Du Xiancheng said that he would keep his account, but she still shirks it, so others will say that she is

I don't know why, but I just want to live in the Xiao family's mansion.

You Qianniang had no choice but to look at Xiao Xiangsheng and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao, I'm really troubling you. In fact, Susu and I can just find an inn at random. We don't need to trouble this old man to provide us with money."

Xiao Xiangsheng then remembered that You Qianniang was a newly widowed person, and it was indeed unlucky to go to his home. He had to wait until her husband passed the Five Seventh Day before he could let her visit his home, so he nodded and said: "Xian Cheng

It's my brother, you should go to Xinfeng Inn."

Long Xiangye's maids He Rui and Mei Xiang quickly carried You Qianniang back to the cart.

Susu followed and climbed onto the cart.

"Go, go early, settle down, and rest early." Long Xiangye waved to the carriage, feeling even more grateful to Du Xiancheng.

Xiao Shiji was so tired that he said to Long Xiangye: "Mom, I'll go in first, I'm so hungry."

Long Xiangye hurriedly held his hand and said distressedly: "Go back and take a bath quickly, and then come out to eat. Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food for you and your father."

Du Xiancheng raised his hand to Xiao Xiangsheng and said, "Brother, please settle down first. I'm going back too, so that my mother-in-law won't be anxious."

Xiao Xiangsheng felt sorry and said: "Go in and have dinner together. Send someone to pick up my younger siblings and Shuang'er and eat together."

Du Xiancheng firmly disagreed and went back first.

Xiao Xiangsheng had been worried and scared outside for more than a month, and he was really tired, so he stopped being polite and watched Du Xiancheng go away. Then he went inside to take a bath and change clothes, and then had a good meal before lying down to rest.

Du Xiancheng hurried back home and told Fang Wu Niang about Xiao Xiangsheng.

Fang Wu Niang sighed: "As long as people can come back safely, nothing else is worth worrying about."

Du Xiancheng nodded in agreement, went to take a bath and change clothes, and then had a big meal without mentioning it.

A few days later, Xiao Xiangsheng personally brought Xiao Shiji over to thank Du Xiancheng.

Du Hengshuang ran over, hugged Xiao Xiangsheng's leg and shouted, "Uncle!"

Xiao Xiangsheng saw that Du Hengshuang, whom he hadn't seen for several months, had grown taller. Although she was only over four years old, she already looked like a beautiful woman. He was very happy. He lifted her up and threw her in the air a few times, smiling.

He said: "Shuang'er, do you miss your uncle?"

Du Hengshuang nodded repeatedly, "I thought so!"

"Did you miss you and your brother?" Xiao Xiangsheng asked again deliberately.

Du Hengshuang nodded again, "I thought so too!"

"Does Shuang'er miss you Uncle Xiao more, or you and your brother?" Xiao Xiangsheng squinted and posed a difficult question to Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang wrinkled her little nose with a troubled look on her face. She looked at Xiao Xiangsheng, and then took a peek at Xiao Shiji who was smiling at her on the ground. A pair of obsidian-like pupils turned around several times, just one sentence.

Can't even tell.

"Shuang'er, why don't you say anything? - Uncle is going to be angry." Xiao Xiangsheng pretended to be serious.

Du Hengshuang was so anxious that she hugged Xiao Xiangsheng's neck and said repeatedly: "Shuang'er misses my uncle and also misses my brother. But, um... um... um, I miss my brother a little bit more..."

Xiao Xiangsheng laughed loudly, and the depression and anxiety in his heart were swept away.

The corners of Xiao Shiji's lips lifted up little by little, and the smile on his whole face became more prosperous, like flowers blooming for the first time, so beautiful.

Fang Wu Niang came over with a smile, saluted Xiao Xiangsheng and said, "Brother Xiao is well. Have you had a hard time on this trip?"

Xiao Xiangsheng put Du Hengshuang down and said to Fang Nuniang, "Thank you for your concern, brothers and sisters. Fortunately, thanks to Xiancheng, our trip was safe and sound."

Du Xiancheng also came out and led Xiao Xiangsheng in together.

Du Hengshuang came close to Xiao Shiji, looked up at his tall body, unconsciously wrapped one hand around a strand of hair hanging down his shoulders, and said hesitantly: "Brother Ji...?"

Xiao Shiji lowered his head and looked at Du Hengshuang, who only reached his waist. His pink cheeks, jet black hair, red lips, round and chubby earlobes were delicate and full in shape, and his clear pupils were pure and moving, containing no

Impurity, looked at himself steadily, without flinching or dodging. Thinking again of Zhu Susu, who was almost the same age as Du Hengshuang, he was much more thoughtful than Du Hengshuang, and his eyes were used to twinkling. He really didn't look like a four or five-year-old child.

"Brother?" Du Hengshuang's voice still had a soft childlike tone.

Xiao Shiji's heart melted, he bent down and picked her up, and asked: "What is Shuang'er doing at home? Have you gone out for a walk?"

Du Hengshuang was overjoyed, grabbed Xiao Shiji's neck, put his face on his shoulder, and whispered: "If brother Ji doesn't come to see Shuang'er, Shuang'er can't go anywhere." After saying that, he remembered something, Du Hengshuang came to Xiao Shiji's shoulder and whispered:

The scholar whispered in his ear, "Shuang'er wants to go to Leyouyuan to climb high and see the distance. But my father and mother don't allow it. Can my brother take Shuang'er there?"

Xiao Shiji was a young man who grew up in Chang'an City. He came from a wealthy family and knew all the various places to play in Chang'an City.

In addition to the East Market and the West Market where performers perform a variety of operas, stages for big operas, wine stalls selling wine, and orchids dancing for a thousand dollars, there are also two places, Leyouyuan and Qujiangchi, which are the city of Chang'an.

A place where men, women and children of all ages can go and have fun.

The "Leyouyuan" mentioned by Du Hengshuang is a place where you can climb high and look far. It used to be a royal garden, but later it was opened to ordinary people and they could come and go freely.

Xiao Shiji hadn't had fun in Chang'an City for a long time. In a boyish mood, he nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Let's go tell Uncle Du and Aunt Du, and then my brother and I will take you out to play, okay?"

Du Hengshuang chuckled, followed Xiao Shiji into the middle hall, and asked Du Xiancheng and Fang Wuniang together.

Du Xiancheng agreed and said, "I'll feel relieved if you let Uncle Qian go out with you."

Uncle Qian was a talented person recruited by Du Xiancheng. Even Fang Wu Niang felt relieved when Du Hengshuang was handed over to him.

Xiao Shiji also learned boxing and kicking from Uncle Qian for a few days. He was overjoyed and went to seek Xiao Xiangsheng's opinion again.

Xiao Xiangsheng had something to say to Du Xiancheng. He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Go early and come back early. Don't get out of Shuang'er's hands. There are many people in Leyou, so you have to be careful."

Fang Wu Niang said hurriedly: "I asked Ou Yangniang to go with me. She is Shuang'er's adoptive mother, and she is always very careful." After saying that, Fang Wu Niang simply sent two more maids and two women to follow Ou Yangniang.

Together, surrounded by Xiao Shiji, Du Hengshuang went out of the second door.

Chamberlain was a coachman and had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.

Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang got into the carriage driven by Uncle Qian, while Ouyangniang, the maid, and the mother-in-law got into the carriage behind, and the two carriages headed for Leyouyuan outside Chang'an City.

It was the end of March and almost April, and the garden was full of flowers in Leyouyuan. Under the pavilion, the famous peonies Yao Huang Wei Zi were planted. On the high hill next to the pavilion, tall gardenias were planted.

Flower trees and magnolia trees

, the flowers are huge and snow-white, and the fragrance spreads throughout Leyouyuan. When the peach trees, pear trees and cherry blossom trees in the distance are in full bloom, peach red, snowy white and pink complement each other, making the entire Leyouyuan beautiful.

Du Hengshuang was wearing a short jacket with wide sleeves and a skirt with pink and green hairpins, and she was shuttling back and forth on Leyouyuan like a little butterfly.

Xiao Shiji smiled slightly and followed Du Hengshuang closely, grabbing her from time to time and pointing her to various stalls, asking her if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat.

Du Hengshuang was so dazzled by the sight that she couldn't even think about eating. She just shook her head and continued to look around.

There are many people playing in Leyouyuan, and there are also many young men and young ladies of the same age as Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang.

But it seems that Xiao Shiji was born the best, and Du Hengshuang was the most beautiful.

Many tourists on Leyouyuan smiled at these two people. Some people who knew Xiao Shiji came to say hello to him, especially asking about the current situation of his father, Xiao Xiangsheng.

Xiao Shiji smiled and answered one by one, while keeping an eye on Du Hengshuang to make sure she didn't get lost.

Ou Yangniang and Qian Bo stared at Du Hengshuang with four eyes.

In the afternoon, Du Hengshuang was finally tired. He was picked up by Xiao Shiji and lay on his shoulder. His eyes were dim and he seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping.

"The eldest lady seems to be tired. Brother, should we go back?" Ou Yangniang asked cautiously.

Xiao Shiji hugged Du Hengshuang and walked forward, smiling and saying: "It's hard to come out. Let's go to the teahouse in front to have some snacks and take a rest."

Ou Yangniang and Qian Bo nodded in agreement and followed him forward.

"Flowers are sold! Flowers are sold! Gardenias, magnolias, winter jasmines, you can buy a bunch of them for only ten dollars. Sir, please buy a bouquet of flowers for the beautiful sister next to you." A young man said

But some familiar voices came over.

Xiao Shiji turned around and saw that it was You Qianniang's daughter Zhu Susu, wearing a light yellow dress and carrying a small flower basket, selling flowers to passers-by.
