Thinking of Song Shuyan, her uncle's only cousin, Xie Shuning's eyebrows couldn't help but curve.

It's a pity that my aunt can't go with her this time. It would be great if mother and son could go to Beijing together.

Xie Shuning rushed to Yumingyuan with her skirt in hand and told the news to Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly gathered everyone to give instructions on the matter. Only then could she feel relieved after doing everything by herself, no matter how big or small.

Xie Yuanmao met several times and felt unhappy. In addition, he had been having a headache recently because of his revenge. He then thought of the last time when the Song family flatly rejected the marriage he was looking forward to for Xie Shuning. He couldn't help but become suspicious and went to the Song family in person.

Test her mind and ask if she intends to let Xie Shuning marry her uncle's family so that they can get closer?

He asked this deliberately, thinking that it would play into the Song family's hands. After all, the Song family and her brother Song Yanzhao had a deep relationship since childhood. Song Yanzhao's family treated Xie Shuning well, and their population was simple, so it was a good match.

But who would have expected that as soon as he asked the question, Mrs. Song was scolded and asked with confusion on his face why he thought so, but he was also thinking about Xie Shuning's marriage.

Shu Yan's family is far away from the customs. No matter how good the family is, the Song family would not be willing to marry their daughter so far away. What's more, none of them have ever thought about it.

Mrs. Song clearly remembers that her brother was very unhappy with the so-called marriage.

But Mrs. Song probably couldn't understand what he said, but she knew that even if she and her sister-in-law Sharman had this intention, her brother would never agree.

Therefore, if Xie Yuanmao did not mention it this time, Song would not have considered this matter at all.

Xie Yuanmao was quite surprised when he received such a reply. In his heart, he wondered if Song was hiding it on purpose. In fact, she still had such a plan in her heart.

Marriage of children has always been clearly priced in Kyoto. If Xie Shuning was married to Mobei, it would become a loss-making deal. Xie Yuanmao did not want to go to that step at all.

He deliberately mentioned something to Ms. Song openly, saying that he heard that Song Shuyan was a good match because of his good conduct. When Mr. Song bluntly said that the two children were not suitable, he became silent.

Soon, in midsummer when cicadas were chirping, the caravan from Dunhuang also entered Beijing accompanied by the crisp sound of camel bells.

Brother and sister Xie Yi and Xie Shuning went out early in the morning and went to meet the people outside in person.

This time it was still Dao Scar who came back. Shu Yan was sitting lazily on the leading camel. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Xie Shuning. He laughed quickly, his lake-like blue eyes shining brightly.

.Looks like a blue gemstone in the sunlight.

He raised his hand: "Aman!"

People on the roadside suddenly heard this loud noise, and they all looked around in surprise.

Xie Shuning was unable to help her forehead. She quickly sent someone over to ask Shu Yan to come over.

Such movement is not common even in the bustling Dongcheng with people coming and going.

Shu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. Seeing everyone looking at him, he raised his face so that they could have a good look.

Her tall nose, tanned wheat-colored skin, and deep blue eyes all make people feel dazzling.

Among the people along the road, there were already people who could not take their eyes off it.

Xie Yi was surprised, "Cousin, does he look like my aunt?"

People in their family can't easily grow such a face.

Xie Shuning was about to cry but had no tears, so she pushed Xie Yi gently and said, "Brother, go and bring the person over and go straight home."

Xie Yi got out of the car and headed towards the caravan. He didn't know what he said, but he was dragged over by Shu Yan with his arms around his shoulders. He suddenly lost his scholarly appearance.

"Cousin, let's go back and change clothes first." Walking closer, Xie Shuning looked up and down at the clothes Shu Yan was wearing, and felt that there seemed to be a butterfly's colorful wings fluttering in front of her eyes. She quickly looked away, half coaxing.

He was partly persuading the locals to get them back home first.

Shu Yan agreed with a smile, lifted up his clothes and got on the carriage, sat down with a golden sword, and waved his hand: "Go back!"

Along the way, Shu Yan kept talking to Xie Yi about what he had seen and heard on the long ancient road, which made Xie Yi very excited. After a while, the two of them became as close as brothers, more like cousins ​​who had just met.

When they arrived at Shijing Hutong, the two of them were even more inseparable. Those who didn't know it thought they were twins.

Xie Shuning was funny and helpless. While letting people move Shu Yan's luggage down, she said to Xie Yi: "My cousin will stay for a long time when he comes back. There will be more time to talk. Brother, it's better to take a rest."

, If you don’t have a dry mouth, I won’t let anyone serve you tea.”

Xie Yi scolded her, "You still think I talk too much?"

While talking, Mrs. Song had already hurried over with her people.

Shu Yan hurriedly greeted him, and Mrs. Song was all smiles. Then she asked about Song Yanzhao and Shaman.

Shu Yan replied, "It's all good. When I get the opportunity in the future, my mother will also come to Kyoto to have a look."

"This time we should come together!" Mrs. Song sighed, leading people to the wing room that had been arranged long ago, and asked people to place their luggage properly one by one, and then asked Shu Yan if there was anything he didn't like, so he could immediately

Change. After all, I am a child who grew up in the desert. I have never been to the Central Plains, so it is inevitable that I will feel uncomfortable everywhere.

Shu Yan just looked at the big kang next to the window, which was very novel, and everyone else said it was good.

Mrs. Song just pursed her lips and smiled, said nothing more, and had someone fetch water for him to bathe and change clothes to wash away the dust and dust all over his body.

It was hot in the afternoon and the chirping of cicadas was endless. Mrs. Song was afraid of disturbing him, so she was about to send someone to go stick it, but was stopped by Shu Yan after taking a bath.

He just liked the sound.

Seeing this, Mrs. Song let him go.

Shu Yan took a beautiful nap amidst the chirping of cicadas.

When I woke up, the sky was dark and it was about to rain.

Xie Yuanmao came back from outside in a hurry. When he heard that Shu Yan had arrived, he couldn't help but said that it had come so quickly. He thought it would take at least another month and a half, but he didn't expect it to be here now.

After a while, Shu Yan packed up and was led by Xie Yi to see Xie Yuanmao.

When Xie Yuanmao saw him for the first time, he never thought that he would be born so well. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say first.

In the end, he only said a few words of concern for the occasion, and then let people go back first.

Because there were guests from far away at home, Mrs. Song arranged the dinner that night. A table full of delicious food even Xie Shuning almost couldn't help but call it extravagant.

Xie Yuanmao was still smiling at first, but when the dishes were all served, the smile on his lips dropped and his hand holding the chopsticks froze.

Now he needs money everywhere, but he cannot make ends meet. The Song family holds all the money at home, so he can only go to the accountant to pay money after discussing with the Song family every time. As a result, the Song family is not a guest.

He was almost moved to the dinner table, which really made him unhappy.

People say that husband and wife are one. He needs her permission to spend money, but she never has to tell him. The world is turned upside down.

Xie Yuanmao was not worried, and he excused himself from the table without taking a few bites of the meal, saying he felt unwell.

Without him, the atmosphere at the dinner table was actually warmer.

After dinner, it started pouring rain outside, and it didn't stop until dawn the next day.

The ground was wet, the grass and trees beside the road were even more lush, and the weather was unusually cool.

Xie Yi then suggested taking Shu Yan out for a walk while the weather was cool. It would get hot again later, and no one would want to go out under the scorching sun.

The two of them discussed it privately and both thought about going out to play. They made a decision at that moment.

Xie Yi then sent someone to look for Xie Shuning and invited her to come with him.

It happened that Xie Shuning received a letter from the palace. Princess Huihe also invited her to go out and play together while the summer heat was fading.

She hadn't seen Ji Tongying for a long time. Thinking about the recent rumors in the palace and worrying that Ji Tongying was in a bad mood, she didn't dare to push him away. After cleaning up, she sent someone to reply to the letter and prepare for the appointment.

Unexpectedly, Ji Tongying found out that her cousin had come all the way from Dunhuang to stay for a short stay, so she immediately invited everyone to travel together.

Shu Yan agreed without thinking.

The group left Xie's house in a grand manner and went to meet at Dongting Lake near Xicheng.

It is hot summer, and there are many boats on the lake. People often bring singers and piano players on board to enjoy and play. The East Pavilion by the lake is also overcrowded. But this time the princess is traveling, no one who has not been invited is allowed in, so Xie Shuning and his party

When we arrived at the place, there were only a few or two small boats on the lake, which seemed extremely deserted.

Before Ji Tongying arrived, Xie Shuning and others sat down in the pavilion by the lake to wait.

Not long after, a painted boat with a precious roof and elegant eaves and flying teeth and brackets came from a distance.

The weeping willows on both sides of the bank were curled up in smoke, all of which were taken away by the painted boats.

The sound of silk and bamboo gradually approached, and Xie Shuning suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting: "Aman!"

She looked up and saw Ji Tongying leaning on the side of the boat waving to her, which frightened the maid behind her and trembled, lest she fall into the water.

Xie Shuning quietly glanced at her cousin who was standing there breaking the willow tree, and felt inexplicably that these two people seemed to have the same purpose.

After a while, there were gradually more and more boats on the lake.

They were not the only people invited by Ji Tongying this time. Xie Shuning looked over with cold eyes. Some looked familiar and some looked unfamiliar. She really hadn't been out and about for so long that she couldn't even recognize them. Yuzi was right next to her.

To remind you, who is the green one on the boat, and who is the fat girl over there who is rolling her eyes at them...

Xie Shu listened quietly and had an idea in her mind.

This time, Ji Tongying went out with her, firstly to relax, and secondly, to chat with her in private, so she did not ask them to prepare another boat, and directly let the Xie family and the others board the spacious and bright boat.

.

Shu Yan walked at the end, slowly got on the boat, and said, "This boat is not bad."

Everyone followed the sound and couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the face clearly.

Shu Yan touched his face, frowned slightly and looked at Xie Yi, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xie Yi hurriedly shook his head and said sadly: "Cousin, next time you go out, you should follow the example of those boudoir girls and cover your face!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
