Shen Tianshu looked in the direction Mingyu pointed, and sure enough he saw Shen Yunyao standing next to the carriage not far away.
Not long after, Cheng Yingxin, Jiang Lu and an unknown girl got off the carriage one after another.
Seeing that Shen Tianshu hadn't spoken for a long time, Shen Yunhui also came over and looked in the direction she was looking.
"Hey, why did the second sister come out?" Shen Yunhui was surprised at first, and then said, "Eldest sister, I have seen the girl who is with the second sister."
"Whose girl is this?" Shen Tianshu thought for a long time, but could not get the memory of this person out of his mind.
"I don't know whose family it belongs to, but I saw it at the Shangyuan Banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion."
Those who can go to the Prince Rui's Mansion for a banquet must not be of a low status. At least looking at the way Cheng Yingxin is taking care of her, she must be a noble girl from some family.
I just don’t know how she got so close to Shen Yunyao.
Cheng Xuhuan also saw the scene over there at this time, and was thinking about whether to go over and say hello. After all, he was his aunt's cousin and came from the capital.
Shen Tianshu said: "Mr. Cheng, my sister seems to have arrived. Why don't you go and take care of her?"
Cheng Xuhuan was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard what Shen Tianshu said, he immediately said: "There are several cousins taking care of her over there, so I won't go there. As an elder brother, I am usually very strict with her. It's rare for me to come out today." Just play and don’t annoy her anymore.”
Seeing that he failed to send Cheng Xuhuan away, Shen Tianshu had no choice but to purse his lower lip helplessly.
After Song Rongqian got out of the car, she immediately went to hold Shen Yunyao's hand.
The two people were talking affectionately, like a pair of sisters who had a great relationship. It was impossible to tell that they had just met yesterday.
The three tall sons of the Cheng family gathered around the two of them and helped them ward off the surrounding crowd, making the other girls envious.
Song Rongqian especially enjoyed this kind of attention. From time to time she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly. Her silvery laughter also attracted the attention of many young students.
"Sister Song, I just sent someone up to ask. Xuhuan is not far ahead, halfway up the mountain. The scenery is better over there, and there is a pavilion where you can sit, rest and talk. Why don't we go up now?"
"Sister Song, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and there are many people today. Please be careful where you step. I will help you clear the way in front."
Seeing the two brothers gathered around to express their affection, Cheng Sanlang was not to be outdone. He just pulled out a thin silk paper umbrella from the horse, opened it and held it over Song Rongqian's head and said: "Although the spring sun is not hot, it is sunny. Too much can easily make your skin darken. Although Sister Song is naturally beautiful, you'd better be careful not to sunburn your delicate skin."
Shen Yunyao only has younger brothers in her family, and her cousins are all in her hometown. Her cousin has only seen people like Xu Yihao. At this moment, seeing Song Rongqian surrounded by three cousins who were courting her, she was so envious that her mouth was watering.
Under the escort of the three brothers of the Cheng family, the two successfully reached the mountainside.
Cheng Dalang looked around and saw Cheng Xuhuan sitting in a pavilion not far away. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Ah Huan, here, the cousin of the Song family has arrived."
This time Cheng Xuhuan could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to get up and go out to greet him.
Seeing him finally leaving, Shen Tianshu breathed a small sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Fan Yuru couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Let's not just sit here. I'll take you to a good place."
Shen Tianshu had no intention of sitting in the pavilion waiting for Cheng Xuhuan. How could he wait until now?
The two hit it off immediately and left the pavilion from the other side.
Cheng Xuhuan was called over by Cheng Dalang. He was unhappy, but he couldn't show it. He had to smile at Song Rongqian.
Cheng Yingxin knew that her brother had been so fascinated by Shen Tianshu recently that he almost lost his soul. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but snorted contemptuously: "Brother came really early. He didn't wait for me, and he didn't know how to wait for Song. Sister, you’re still stuck here right now, why don’t you invite us to sit in the pavilion?”
Cheng Xuhuan was a little embarrassed when his sister said this.
While he reluctantly led everyone towards the pavilion, he said seemingly unintentionally: "If I hadn't come earlier, who would have occupied the pavilion for you? Look at the people all over the mountains and plains now. When you arrive, Aren’t all the good places taken by others? When we come here, there’s not even a place to sit, so it’ll be up to you who you blame!”
When Cheng Yingxin heard this, she wanted to refute that it was a matter of occupying a position. She could just send a servant over, but why should she occupy it herself?
However, Song Rongqian got ahead of her and said, "I heard from my mother before at home that the fourth brother of the Cheng family is the most attentive and good at taking care of others. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
Although Cheng Xuhuan's heart and mind are now full of Shen Tianshu, but he was suddenly praised by other young girls, and his mood was still uncontrollably high.
As he led the way, he said with a smile: "Sister Song is so polite. She complimented her so much that I felt embarrassed. Let's go sit and talk in the pavilion in front. There are refreshments and fruits there."
Song Rongqian was sent into the pavilion by four young people like a star holding the moon. She enjoyed the gazes of people around her and was in a good mood.
When Cheng Xuhuan returned to the pavilion, his heart immediately thumped. Shen Tianshu and Fan Yuru, who were sitting in the pavilion just now, had disappeared.
Song Rongqian sat down on the seat he had specially arranged for Shen Tianshu, sniffing the flowers on the small table with an intoxicated look, and smiled implicitly at Cheng Xuhuan.
The servants brought tea and fruit, and were about to go down when they were stopped by Cheng Xuhuan. He lowered his voice and asked, "Where are Miss Shen and Mr. Fan?"
"After the young master left just now, Mr. Fan said that there were many people coming from the Cheng family and there were guests, so he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to stay here. Miss Shen also agreed, and the two of them left together."
Mr. Fan!
He knew it must be Fan Yuru's fault, otherwise Shen Tianshu would never leave without saying goodbye.
Cheng Xuhuan suppressed his anger and asked, "Where have they gone?"
"I don't know, I just know that it's probably going in the direction of the mountain col." The servant raised his hand and pointed back.
The weather is not very warm now, and it is colder in the mountains than in the city, so people who go out for an outing are concentrated on the sunny slopes. It is shady on the side of the mountain col, so few people will go there.
Cheng Xuhuan felt a fire burning in his body when he thought of Fan Yuru taking Shen Tianshu to an inaccessible place in the mountains and not knowing what he was going to do.
Cheng Xuhuan spoke in a very low voice, but the pavilion itself was not very big. Song Rongqian still vaguely heard a few words, and turned to ask others: "I wonder who the Miss Shen that Fourth Brother Cheng is talking about is?"
The eldest son of the Cheng family said carelessly: "The fourth brother should be talking about the eldest daughter of Magistrate Shen, the most beautiful woman in our Yongzhou Prefecture, Miss Shen Tianshu."
When Shen Yunyao heard this, her expression immediately turned ugly.
Song Rongqian smiled thoughtfully and said, "Really, what Brother Cheng said makes me want to take a look."
