4. Chapter 3
The King of Qin is coming.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Huaizhou's eyes changed slightly. Those who do business are most afraid of being an official. A prince suddenly came to Xi'an, and he didn't know what he was. If he was a greedy person, his family would inevitably give him more filial piety.
Jiang's Xie Lanqiao also thought of this. Because there were too many people around him, he exchanged glances and showed no strangeness.
Xie Lanyin often heard her mother and sister talk about various accounts in the shop, and knew a little about the world between officials and businessmen. However, she was still young, and secondly, she was full of confidence in her uncle's family. She didn't think it was a big deal, but she wanted to watch the excitement. She excitedly said to her mother: "Mom, I want to see the Qin King's ceremonial guard enter the city. I have seen the Marquis of Pingxi lead the army to triumph before. I have never seen such excitement even though I am so old."
The Marquis of Pingxi is Queen Chen's elder brother. He is currently the General of Shaanxi, and the General's Office is also located in Xi'an.
Jiang looked at his daughter, thinking of her mood for watching the excitement back then, and agreed with a smile, "Okay, let's go and have a look, but this is what you ask for. Don't complain to your mother at that time, as you think you'll have been waiting for a long time."
Xie Lanyin quickly promised not to do so, and Jiaojiao's voice drifted to the next yard with the cool breeze.
Under the newly green old locust tree, Xiao Yuan leaned on the rattan chair in a light-colored brocade robe and closed his eyes to rest. The sunset light sprinkled from the wall. It did not shine on him, but it shone on the bird cage hanging on the branches. The yellow orioles inside jumped around twice, thinking that the light was too dazzling, and he slapped down after chirping for two times, and then he lie down and retracted his little head into his wings.
So the girl's nice voice disappeared, and the yellow oriole stopped calling.
Xiao Yuan opened his eyes.
Ge Jin stood beside him and waited, and said flatteringly: "Why is the young master awake? I'll tease it twice?"
The master likes to sleep and take a nap when listening to the birds' chirping.
Xiao Yuan shook his head and his eyes fell on the coffee table next to him.
Ge Jin quickly poured a cup of Pu'er tea and handed it over.
Xiao Yuan leaned lazily against the rattan chair and lowered his eyes to savor it.
Ge Jin looked at the wall and knew that the master must have heard it. He whispered: "What a coincidence, we have met that family again. Young Master, I see that the girl's cousin is very kind. I will send someone to inquire. Maybe she is also the person on the list."
The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake because the dragon is useless. The master must be the master of Shaanxi. Then you have to find out which snakes are in Shaanxi. If you find out what can be used, you will kill and cook them. Change the bars and make up for them. Even if that cousin is just an ordinary person, first find out the origin of the girl. If the master rises in the future, he will have a place to find someone, right?
Xiao Yuan put down the tea bowl and nodded.
Ge Jin went with a smile. When he went out, he met Lu Jun and asked casually: "Are you all arranged?"
Lu Jun ignored him, walked straight to the master, and whispered: "Young Master, I have confirmed that your husband's mansion is right behind the palace, across the street. When you encounter urgent matters, you can rush over at any time."
It is difficult to do things in the name of a prince, and pretending to be a businessman can easily communicate with the government, the big merchants and even the Huns outside the border.
"Etiquette?" Xiao Yuan stood up and asked in the bird cage.
Lu Jun replied: "From the capital to this side, nothing happened along the way. As long as the young master said he was sick, those people would not dare to go to the royal palace to ask for a meeting."
As the master enters the city, his experience in the capital will soon spread throughout Shaanxi. Smart people can guess that the master is not favored by the emperor. He seems to be the king but is actually demoted. Then the master has a strange temper and is unwilling to see guests, and others will not doubt it. The person arranged by the master is enough to hide the truth.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Yuan took off the bird cage, turned around and walked towards the house, "Let's go tomorrow morning to see the King of Qin enter the city."
Lu Jun instinctively asked for the order, but he was stunned before he could speak. Will the master enter the city tomorrow morning?
Wasn't that going to wait in vain?
A "yes" stuck in his throat, and he was puzzled. When Ge Jin came back, Lu Jun pretended to be calm and told him the master's order. Ge Jin was noisy, but he was very smart. He could guess the master's thoughts without saying anything. It was also eight or nine.
There is no need to guess this. When Ge Jin thought of the news he inquired, he smiled meaningfully and raised his foot to go inside to serve him.
"Wait, why are you laughing?" Lu Jun reached out to stop him. He smiled so thriftly, and he must have guessed it.
He was stopped without warning. Ge Jin turned around and stared at Lu Jun and said strangely: "I laugh every day, why do you care about me?" After saying that, he suddenly understood, pointed to the window, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you want to know why the master decided to enter the city tomorrow morning?"
Lu Jun defaulted.
Ge Jin pulled his arm and walked aside, finally stopped under the locust tree, signaling Lu Jun to bow his head.
Lu Jun didn't think much and lowered his head to listen.
"I know, but I just won't tell you." Ge Jin laughed while saying the last word, and jumped out like a rabbit.
Lu Jun didn't catch anyone. Seeing that Ge Jin had already run to the door of the house, he gritted his teeth secretly.
Inside the room, Xiao Yuan heard the movement and guessed that the two of them had started fighting again, with their lips slightly raised, and continued to feed the birds.
The next morning, Xiao Yuan did not use Ge Jin to serve him, so he took the bird cage to the backyard and hung the bird cage on the tree. He looked at the house next door and slowly practiced his fists. His movements were like flowing clouds and water. There was a strange and sharpness in his soothing, as if he could kill people invisibly at any time.
"Miss, the eldest son is here!"
The little maid's excited voice floated from the wall. Xiao Yuan calmed down and adjusted his breath for a moment, and walked to the bird cage.
The yellow oriole bird calls to the master in a pleasing manner.
Xiao Yuan raised his hand and pressed his index finger against his lips.
The yellow oriole bird immediately became quiet.
In the girl's boudoir, Xie Lanyin frowned noisily. The next moment she suddenly sat up and opened the tent and asked the parrot who walked into the house, "Really?"
The beauty woke up with her messy black hair spread on her shoulders, her pair of peach blossom eyes filled with surprise, and she was as smart as a child.
The parrot was holding water in his hand and smiling, "No, the second young master sent someone to pass the message yesterday. The eldest young master just said that he guessed that the girl was very lively and would go to see the King of Qin enter the city, so he came early. Get up quickly, the eldest young master hasn't had breakfast yet, and I'm waiting for everyone to use it together."
Xie Lanyin has got out of bed and washes and dresses. It usually takes two quarters of an hour, but it takes only one quarter of an hour to pack it up this morning.
The footsteps went in front, Xiao Yuan frowned, and an undetectable disappointment appeared in Feng's eyes.
She said little, no matter how good his ears are, it is useless.

Xie Lanyin quickly walked to the hall and turned to the door. He saw that all three cousins were inside. The third cousin Jiang Huaizhou and his sister Xie Lanqiao were sitting on the lower right of his mother. The second cousin Jiang Xingzhou, whom he had seen yesterday, sat on the left and looked at her together.
With eyes facing each other, Xie Lanyin finally confirmed that the man with mustache was indeed her cousin Jiang Jizhou!
"Why does my cousin have such a beard?"
Xie Lanyin was shocked and couldn't help laughing. She walked to her mother and looked at her cousin with a waste of resources. "My father didn't even have a beard. What kind of beard did my cousin have? It's not as good-looking as before. If I was my cousin's wife, I'll let you shave your beard first when you get married, otherwise I won't live with you!"
How old have I grown up with a beard?
The groom Jiang Jizhou, who is twenty or three years old this year, has a handsome appearance, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of his two brothers. He has two beards under his nose, making him look more steady. However, that was just when he was not smiling. When his cousin joked about him, Jiang Jizhou touched his beard and raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's really not good-looking?"
He didn't believe it, but he was more suspicious of his cousin's eyes. With those two beards, he was even more out of his third brother Jiang Huaizhou.
Xie Lanyin laughed and nodded seriously.
My cousin was cute and cute. Jiang Jizhou thought for a moment and said, "Since Lan Yin thinks it's not good, let's make a bet. If your cousin's wife gets married and likes my beard, you give me ten taels of silver. If she doesn't like it, I'll give you twenty taels of rice, what about?"
Xie Lanyin looked at him and quietly looked at his third cousin diagonally opposite him. Such an unfair bet always felt that there was a fraud.
Jiang Huaizhou served tea and nodded slightly when he put down the tea bowl.
Xie Lanyin was delighted and was about to agree. The second young master Jiang Xingzhou coughed softly and asked his brother without hesitation, "I remember that my elder brother bought a hairpin for his sister-in-law last year. He gave it out when he visited the Lin family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Huaizhou stood up and said, "Auntie, I'll go and see how the luggage is being transported." As he said that, he slipped away like oily soles of his feet.
Jiang couldn't stop smiling.
Xie Lanyin was furious and scolded him on the back: "Okay, you know that your cousin's wife doesn't dislike you, but she deliberately lied to me to agree, wanting me to lose money. Please wait, see how I will use you when I arrive in Xi'an!" After scolding the man, he pouted at Jiang Jizhou, "I fooled me as soon as I met. I will turn around and ask my cousin's wife to judge me!"
Jiang Jizhou smiled but said nothing. In fact, his fiancée had despised him, but she dared not despise him after kissing her.
After the whole family finished reminiscing about the past, they simply used breakfast and set off.
The three brothers of the Jiang family rode horses by the car, and Xie Lanqiao also joined in the fun.
Xie Lanyin opened the curtains, looked at the heroic sister outside and was very envious, and said loudly to Jiang Huaizhou: "Third Cousin, you promised to teach me how to ride a horse when you come here, don't forget!"
The eldest and second sisters can ride horses, and she also has to learn.
"Sit for me, why are you shouting?" Jiang put down the curtains, frowned and pulled his daughter back.
When his mother was disciplined, Xie Lanyin immediately sat down honestly and was very well-behaved.
This daughter is the best at pretending to be good and the most perverted to the slightest disobedience. Jiang pointed her forehead.
Outside, Xie Lan Bridge looked around and saw that there were civilians with their families and wealthy families who were riding mule carriages and horses. You could tell that they were all heading towards the city when you looked at the direction. You couldn't help but sigh to your cousins: "It seems that everyone wants to see the style of Prince Qin. Everyone from other counties has to rush over, and the city will definitely be more lively."
Jiang Jizhou said: "Yes, but I heard that His Highness, the King of Qin, was unwell and had not shown up all the way. We may not be able to see him today."
Xie Lanqiao looked at the girls who were looking at them by the road, smiled and whispered: "I can't see the prince, but I'm afraid these girls will be worth it." In terms of appearance, her cousins are all top-notch.
Jiang Jizhou glanced at the left and right, and shook his head with a smile.
After the convoy, Xiao Yuan sat in the carriage, closing his eyes to rest.
Lu Jun drove the car outside, Ge Jin sat opposite him and whispered: "Stop a little while and be more neat when you stop later, and be side by side with the carriage in front of you."
The master likes to listen to Miss Xie Wu’s voice, how can I do if I am far away?
