The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 537
After staying in the middle of the lake with Mrs. Wang for a long time, Xuan Shijing ordered the servants to row the boat to the shore. It is getting late now, so it is better to go back to the house earlier, have dinner, and then go back to the house. Take a quick hot shower.Probably the quiet environment in the middle of the lake and the beautiful scenery are too forgetful, too lingering, and too suitable for talking. When sitting on a boat in the lake, I feel that time flies so fast
When the boat got close to the shore, the young servant jumped off the boat first, fixed the boat on the pier by the lake, and then helped Xuan Shijing get off the boat, Xuan Shijing turned around and helped Wang, Xiaohuan and Xiaoji down.

"Let's go back." Xuan Shijing said to Wang Shi.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and then said to the boy: "You don't have to follow us, you will tell Feng Hao that there will be a distinguished guest coming to our Zhuangzi tomorrow, and let him prepare well, especially the Zhuangzi. Find more people to patrol secretly, and make sure that there are no strangers in the village, and no one who can cause danger to the distinguished guests." Speaking of the last sentence, the expression on Wang's face became serious.

"Yes, ma'am, I must tell you the truth." The young man responded, then bowed to Wang Shi and Xuan Shijing, watched the four of them leave, and then turned back and went to Feng Hao. on the house.

The distinguished guest that Wang mentioned was naturally the Princess Jinyang mentioned by Xuan Shijing. Wang also remembered what happened when Xuan Shijing took Princess Jinyang to play on Xuanwu Lake in Chang'an City, so in order to avoid similar things from happening again Finally, Mrs. Wang specially asked the servant to send a message to Feng Hao, and arrange the people in Zhuangzi well, so that the princess can be protected at that time.

"Mother, you're thoughtful." Xuan Shijing heard Wang's order to the servant, knew that Wang was doing it for her own benefit, and followed closely with a flirty flattery.

"It's just your sweet talk, let's go, let's go back." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang, supported by Xiao Huan, walked towards the direction of the house.Xuan Shijing, who was following behind, touched his nose, smiled, and did not speak.Although today was the first time for many people in the family to come to the mansion on Zhuangzi, they were still busy working step by step without any disorder.Xuan Shijing, Wang Shi, and Xiao Huan Xiaoji strolled and enjoyed the scenery all the way, while walking towards the house, when they arrived at the house, the sun had already set, and the weather in the west was orange-red, and the surrounding clouds against it were also dyed. A piece of gorgeous color, very good-looking, but this kind of beauty didn't last long before disappearing.

The sun is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk.After entering the house, he walked through the front yard and came to the back hall. At this time, the tables and stools had been placed in the back hall, and he was waiting for Xuan Shijing and Wang to come back for dinner, and when Xuan Shijing and Wang were seated , Xiaoji went to the kitchen and told the kitchen to prepare the dishes.The second meal that came to Zhuangzi was much richer than the first meal, but Xuan Shijing didn't eat much at night, and if he ate too much at night at this time, his stomach would easily swell.

After eating, Xuan Shijing returned to her yard, ordered the people below to boil hot water and deliver it to the room, and then returned to the room.There are no books in the study room of the house yet, so Xuan Shijing is sitting in the room and is bored and doesn't know how to pass the time. Thinking that Jinyang will come to Zhuangzi tomorrow, Xuan Shijing begins to think about what to do tomorrow. How to take Sizi around Zhuangzi well.This girl has been in the palace for such a long time, she must be exhausted.
It wasn't until the boy on Zhuangzi brought the wooden bucket for bathing to Xuan Shijing's room that Xuan Shijing was pulled out of his thoughts.

After taking a bath, Xuan Shijing went to bed with his clothes on. Since Li Tai will bring Jinyang to Zhuangzi tomorrow, it's better to get up early.

The time in sleep always passes quickly, and when I open my eyes again, it is already high in the sun, and I live in Zhuangzi, I don’t have to go to the morning court, and I don’t have to go to Shenhou’s Mansion. Without Xuan Shijing’s order, the servants naturally didn’t Those who came to disturb Xuan Shijing's sleep, the servants who came from the Hou's mansion all knew that his master Hou's only hobby was to sleep until he woke up naturally.

Seeing the sunlight from outside shining into the room through the window, Xuan Shijing was alert and lost all sleepiness in an instant. Looking outside at this time, could he have overslept?
Get up quickly and get dressed, the table in the room has already placed the toiletries, Xuan Shijing wiped his face casually, then opened the door and walked out.

"Young master, you are awake." In the yard, Xiaoji was waiting outside.

"What time is it?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"At the moment of the hour, madam has just finished her breakfast, she may have been tired yesterday, and madam didn't get up very early today." Xiaoji replied.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Zhuangzi?"

Xiaoji shook his head: "No, how could it be so fast? At this time, His Royal Highness King Wei may have just come to court."

Also, because of the household affairs, Li Tai, who has always been lazy, also needs to go to the court to listen to the government. At this time, if there are many things in the court, he may not have stepped back from the court.

"What is my mother doing?" Xuan Shijing looked at Xiaoji and asked, Xuan Shijing couldn't go out with her today, and she didn't know what her mother could do in the house.

"Master Hou, Madam went out after dinner in the morning accompanied by her sister. She said she was going to the farmland on Zhuangzi to see the farmers." Xiaoji said.

That's okay, it's good to go out for a walk, but Xuan Shijing can't leave the house for the time being, because he still has to wait for Li Tai to bring Princess Jinyang over.

Going to the back hall to have breakfast with peace of mind, Xuan Shijing took Xiaoji for a walk in the backyard of the village. After all, this is his own house, and he didn't take a good look around. No matter how you say it, you need to get acquainted with it.

Walking in the back garden, Xuan Shijing kept looking around. The construction pattern of this house is obviously similar to that of the Nuan Pavilion in the palace. It can be seen that it was built by the same person. Could it be the person who designed and built the house? Is it the same person who designed and built the warm pavilion in the palace?
This house was built by Xuan Shijing not long after he left Chang'an. At that time, the Nuan Pavilion in the palace had just started construction. In this way, it is not surprising that this house and the Nuan Pavilion were built by one person. Li Tai has always been afraid of trouble, and he can just grab someone who can be used, and he can use it like this. This is his style. .

"Master Hou, don't you think you lack someone by your side?" Xiaoji asked.
