Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 219 A Misty Rain Ren Pingsheng
Shili Pavilion outside Songjiang City.

"Mu Bin met the princess, the princess has worked hard all the way."

"It's hard work for you to make this trip." Princess Changning smiled at Mu Yan, covered her handkerchief and coughed twice, "My body is not up to par, please wait for so many days."

"Princess, you are welcome. My nephew just spent a few more days watching the excitement in Songjiang City. I have ordered people to prepare the boat. The princess will take a rest before entering the city. Let's abandon the car and change the boat. The princess will also be spared from the bumpy road. "

"Okay, don't worry about it."

After speaking, he looked behind Mu Yan, and saw that there were only Mu family's guards and servants, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, the emperor must have forgotten her, and he didn't even send one and a half people to pick her up.

Mu Yan went to Geng's and others' car again, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen my grandmother, my fourth uncle, my concubine's grandmother."

The maid raised the curtain of the car, and Geng looked out.

I haven't seen him for a few years, this eldest grandson is already as tall and straight as a green pine, with a handsome face, he looks more and more like his grandfather, and he can't help but feel a little dazed.

"Thank you." He called Mu Wang who was sitting next to him, "Wang'er, come and greet your elder brother."

Mu Wang fixedly looked at Mu Yan and sized him up.

Then he turned to Geng: "Grandmother, my grandson's butt hurts from sitting on it. Tell them to go to the city quickly. I'm going to the inn to freshen up. If it's later, I will stink."

She buried her face in Geng Shi's body and didn't look at Mu Yan again.

"Okay, then let's go to the city quickly, so that grandma's Wang'er can have a good wash."

The car curtain was lowered, blocking Mu Yan's sight.

Mu Yan looked away lightly, and ordered to the convoy: "Let's go."

Get on your horse.

Mu Xin rode his horse and walked to him: "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work. The princess is not in good health, and she was delayed on the road for a few days, making you wait for a long time."

"Fourth Uncle, it's okay, there's a lot of boats coming and going in Songjiang Port overseas, I happened to watch the bustle and bought a lot of things."

"Oh? What good things did you buy?"

The next day, after Huo Xi and Yang Fu had finished washing their hands, they were about to board the plank to go ashore when they saw Gong Ziyi walking towards her family's boat with two servants.

"Ha, I said you should get up at this time." Gong Ziyi smiled all over his face, looking proud that he had calculated it.

"You are a young master from a wealthy family, you wake up so early?" She also wanted to find the nanny, and let the nanny take her to various weaving workshops to buy some silk.

"I'm afraid you'll run away. Why don't I come to stop you early in the morning?"

Huo Xi raised her eyebrows.

"Don't tell me you really don't want to go find your brother to reminisce about the past? You have no conscience." Gong Ziyi raised his hand and nodded her.

"How can it be. I thought you wouldn't get up so early, so I happened to do my business first, and I'll talk to you later." Huo Xi laughed.

"What do you mean you didn't get up so early? In your eyes, do the young masters from rich and noble families sleep until the sun is up?"

"Young master from a wealthy family, there are so many capable people under his command, you can just move your mouth, do you need to help me?"

"I haven't seen you for a few years, you've become so talkative. The young master of a wealthy family also has to support his family, so he gets up early to look for food. In the past two years, I was still a miserable person with a head hanging on my buttocks, sleeping in the middle of the night and getting up in the fifth."

Seeing Huo Xi's disbelief, she said sincerely: "Brother, I really don't lie to you. Just last year, my family forced me to take the imperial examination to become an official. I got up every day before the cock crowed."

Pretend to have a bitter look on his face.

Huo Xi saw him making a weird face, and smiled: "You don't like it? Once a fish leaps over the dragon's gate, thousands of people admire it, isn't it great?"

"What's so good? Life is short for a few decades, and you have to flatter and flatter in the officialdom every day, and you don't live like yourself. Isn't it good to live in the misty rain?"

Huo Xi fixed a look at him and smiled.

"Ah, Uncle Yang Fu, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?" Seeing that she was silent, Gong Ziyi greeted Yang Fu again.

"Master Gong is good."

Yang Fu greeted him with a smile, and asked him, "Can you take the imperial examination?"

"Yes, why not. The "Law of David" only says that 'prostitutes, superiors, clerks, and soldiers' and their descendants are not allowed to enter the examination or donate to the prison, but it does not say that merchants cannot take the imperial examination. You can donate an official, and if you donate an official, you will naturally be a child of an official family, so there is nothing wrong with taking the imperial examination."

"Has your family donated an official?" Huo Xi asked him.

Gong Ziyi shook his head: "My father is a stingy man, he is not willing to give up money. But someone in my clan donated idle officials."

Huo Xi had already stepped off the springboard, and walked towards the city with him.

"Have you had breakfast yet? Let's go, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Gong Ziyi has grown very tall now, a head taller than Yang Fu, this will hook Huo Xi, like hooking a chick.

"Walk well! Why do you use your hands and feet?" Huo Xi wanted to brush his hand away, but he did not expect him to hook it even harder.

"It's been four years, why do you still look like you're not growing up? You've only reached my armpits, when will you grow as tall as me? Tsk tsk." Looking down at Huo Xi, he looked disgusted.

Huo Xi patted him with his hand: "Why don't you say how much older you are than me, and how many years more rice noodles you chewed?" With Yang Fu's help, Huo Xi broke free, jumped two steps away, and stared at him.

"Haha, that's exactly what you said. Let's go, Brother Wei will take you to eat an extra table of rice noodles today, so that you can grow taller."

The three of them found a big restaurant, ordered a large table, and at the end of the meal, Huo Xilu couldn't even leave.

Tea was served again, and we talked for a long time.

"What are you doing in Songjiang, selling salted fish?"

"You remember that I sell salted fish. There is no shortage of salted fish in Songjiang Mansion."

Gong Ziyi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Huo Xi: "Why are you here again?"

Huo Xi also picked up the tea and drank it: "Isn't this a sea ban? Let me see if there are any good things."

"Oh? You've earned a lot in the past few years?" Gong Ziyi leaned forward in front of her with an expression of interest.

Huo Xi pushed him away: "My family is just a fisherman, and he still makes a lot of money. Are you daydreaming?"

"Others may be daydreaming, but you are not."

"It's as if you know me better." Huo Xi rolled his eyes at him and got up: "I'm busy, I'll talk to you when I'm done."

Gong Ziyi got up and said, "It happens that I'm fine, so I'll be with you as a brother."

Huo Xi paused: "Are you with me? Do you have nothing to do?"

"I can do anything. Didn't you say that, I'm a young master from a rich family, and I have many people under my command, just open my mouth. I don't lack food or clothing, so I just eat and wait to die." I insisted on following her.

Huo Xi and Yang Fu looked at each other, they had no choice but to let him follow.

She has been in Songjiang for quite a few days, and it's time to go back.Finish Nock's affairs earlier, and leave earlier.He also remembered that the nanny said that she didn't want to go back to the capital with her, for fear of being recognized, which would drag her and Huo Nian down.

So I thought about how to arrange for the nanny, but felt that there were a lot of things to do.

Gong Ziyi dismissed his entourage and followed Huo Xi and Yang Fu to the pier.
