Chapter 177 Blind Date
Mu Sichen took Shen Xi away, and Liangzhou had already received the news.

So as soon as a group of people entered the city, they met a team coming to pick them up.

There are both Mu Sichen's people and her father's.

Looking at the vast team, Shen Xi's mouth twitched. If he wanted to have such a big battle, those who didn't know would have thought it was the emperor's patrol.

Shen Xi was looking outside with nothing to do, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in his sight.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Little five?"

When Jing Wu heard Shen Xi calling him, he drove his horse in the direction of the carriage.

His tone was respectful yet distant.

"lady."

I don't know whether it was because Xiao Wu's tone was too serious at this time, or because his voice had changed.

Shen Xi always felt that his tone of voice had become much calmer.

"Why are you here too?"

Jing Wu said nothing and only pointed at his hat.

Shen Xi's eyes lit up.

"I got promoted."

Shen Xi didn't quite understand the hierarchy of generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he had heard it from Mu Sichen before.

In her impression, it seemed that she could tell by looking at the hat.

Before, Jing Wu seemed not even qualified to wear a hat.

After listening to Shen Xi's words, Jing Wu's originally sullen face finally showed a hint of shyness.

"That's it."

After the two chatted for a while, Shen Xi finally remembered.

"Where's Xia Zhen, how's her business going?"

Speaking of Xia Zhen, Jing Wu immediately talked a lot.

"She's been tinkering with those powders all day long. A few days ago, she said she would give you...dividends for you. Yes, that's what she said."

When Jing Wu spoke, his words were impatient and his expression was cold. In Shen Xi's eyes, he seemed to dislike Xia Zhen.

Shen Xi has always regarded Jing Wu as a younger brother, and she thinks Xia Zhen should do the same.

She didn't know how genuine Jing Wu's impatience was, but...

Shen Xi knew that Jing Wu liked to be quiet, but Xia Zhen was always making noises.

When I was at the Guangling Prince's Mansion, every time I saw them, they always looked tense.

You can't even say a few words before starting to quarrel.

After all, they are not much different in age, so it is really not convenient to stay like this all the time.

She had thought about this before, but now that she was settled, it was time to put it on the agenda.

Shen Xi smiled and comforted Jing Wu.

"Don't be too upset. Let Xia Zhen free up your yard after a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Wu's expression suddenly froze, and even the horse under his feet seemed stunned.

After a few seconds, Jing Wu came to his senses and rode forward, asking.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Xi smiled and said in a brisk tone.

"Of course I'll marry her off."

Although Xia Zhen has always said that she does not want to get married, in this dynasty, single women are always prone to trouble.

Especially since she is always doing business and being in the public eye.

As far as she knew, several men had asked about Xia Zhen.

I heard that Xia Zhen was almost taken advantage of by a man.

Therefore, Shen Xi felt that it would be better to find an honest and responsible person to marry Xia Zhen.

Of course, she is only responsible for looking at character. After all, Mu Sichen should be quite accurate in judging people. Whether it can succeed or not depends on the fate of the two.

Having said that, Shen Xi lowered his voice, and pointed to the one leading the way ahead.

"I've already asked the general about good candidates. That's the one next to the general. He's young and promising. What do you think?"

Jing Wu looked in the direction of Shen Xi's finger and narrowed his narrow eyes.

He said with a nervous look on his face.

"That person? How old is he? Standing with Xia Zhen shouldn't be like her father."

Shen Xi had always known that Jing Wuya had a sharp tongue, but she didn't know that he had such a venomous tongue.

Just like his father, it's a shame he figured it out.

Shen Xi explained to him with a helpless expression.

"What? He's not much older than Xia Zhen. After all, given his age, do you think he's still as young as you?"

"Being outside all year round, exposed to wind and sun, it's inevitable that your face will look a little mature."

The more Shen Xi spoke, the worse Jing Wu's expression became. He spoke in a cold tone.

"Anyway, I don't think it's very good. With Xia Zhen's bluffing look, if she makes someone angry, even a slap won't be enough for her to bear."

He was the only one who could stand her, being talked about by her every day and having to serve her.

Shen Xi frowned after hearing this.

"What you are saying is wrong. Who said that soldiers will definitely beat women? You yourself are marching and fighting. You don't know better than anyone else."

Jing Wu pursed his lips, knowing that he was in the wrong, so he spoke after a while.

"I just said it casually."

Seeing that he disliked Xia Zhen so much, Shen Xi thought that this matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The two of them chatted with each other, but little did they know that this picture would have another meaning in the eyes of those who were interested.

When they were at the Guangling Palace, many people knew that Shen Xi and Jing Wu had an unusual relationship. It was said that they were old acquaintances or something.

Although Jing Wu's financial background is not good, he has the support of King Guangling, plus his relationship with Mrs. Mu.

This is something that not many people would envy.

Now that Mu Sichen has gained power, King Guangling has regrouped, and Jing Wu can be considered a celebrity.

He has also reached the age where he is about to get married, and he doesn't know how many people are watching him right now.

……

The group arrived at the Guangling Prince's Mansion first, and Xia Zhen greeted them at the door early.

After seeing the men and horses approaching, Xia Zhen jumped up and waved his hand.

"Shen..."

After calling out only one word, she stopped her voice.

According to Shen Xi's current status, it's okay for her to call her by her name in private.

In this ancient world where there was a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority, in public, if someone heard her, others would not be sure how to arrange her.

"Little five!"

Shen Xi can't scream, Xiao Wu doesn't mind.

When Jing Wu walked closer, what he saw was Xia Zhen's smiling face.

He forced down the corners of his mouth that wanted to raise, and picked his ears pretending to be impatient.

"I've heard it a long time ago, you're calling Hun."

Xia Zhen has long been used to his disgusted expression, she stepped forward and hooked his shoulder, and said in a calm manner.

"Let me see if my Xiaowu takes good care of himself when he goes out."

Xia Zhen pinched Jing Wu's face and looked around, then took a long breath.

"It's not bad. Although I lost a little weight, there are no new injuries."

This is almost the first sentence Jing Wu hears every time he comes back.

Xia Zhen's tone was like coaxing her own child, very skillfully.

It's just that... Jing Wu is getting taller and taller. I'm afraid she won't be able to use her shoulder-hooking posture anymore.

After the group entered the gate, Shen Xi wanted to set up Xia Zhen, so naturally she wanted to introduce him.

She motioned to Mu Sichen with her eyes, asking him to bring the person closer.

Shen Xi took Xia Zhen's hand and pointed to the person opposite her.

"This is Jiang Dacheng."

Xia Zhen said hello subconsciously, and she showed a standard smile.

"Hello, I'm Xia Zhen."

She naturally knew what Shen Xi was doing. She had mentioned that she would introduce someone to her before, but she didn't expect to be so quick and easy and brought him here today.
