"Cousin?" Sheng Huaian stopped using his chopsticks and looked at Mr. Xie in surprise: "Why is my cousin here suddenly?"

"Look at your expression?" Ms. Xie was unhappy and glared at her with some reproach: "Didn't you like to play with your cousin the most when you were a child? Now that you have grown up, you are unfamiliar with her?"

"That's not what my son meant. It's just that Toyokawa is so far away from Kyoto. Why didn't the mother inform her son in advance?"

Sheng Huaian had no impression of this cousin. He was born in Kyoto and grew up in Lian'an. Fengchuan only went back occasionally when he was a child. Although he had an impression of this cousin, it was too long to have any feelings.

He just felt that he was coming all the way from his mother's family, and he didn't even have any preparations, so it was inevitable that he would be a little rude.

Mrs. Xie patted him on the shoulder and smiled gently: "It's too late today so I won't let you see him. This child has a hard life. After your aunt passed away a few years ago, the child has been struggling at home.

As you know, if you hadn't been at the important time of the scientific examination a few years ago and your grandmother was in poor health, I would have taken her over long ago. Now that your grandmother has also gone and you have become promising, I went to Xinwen , I called someone over. Can you blame your mother for making arbitrary decisions? "

Sheng Huaian didn't have much idea about this. After all, Duke Sheng's family had a big business, and it was just a matter of having more than one pair of chopsticks for multiple people. Since her mother could take people over, she must have arranged for the people in Fengchuan to be taken care of.

"My son doesn't have any objections. As long as his mother is happy, that's fine. But has his mother informed his father?"

"As long as you have no objections, there is no need to worry about your father."

Sheng Huaian felt a little awkward when he first heard this. What do you mean he has no objection?

But then I thought about it, maybe I was too preoccupied, so I hurriedly took two bites of rice, put it into my stomach and left with the pear blossom cake.

Looking at Sheng Huaian's back as he hurried away, Xie smiled.

"Madam, you don't have to worry now. The old servant said that the young master must take care of his wife."

"The thing I least regret in my life is giving birth to Huai'an."

Aunt Gui picked up the untouched food into the food box: "But I am worried that the young master may not accept Miss Cousin in the future. After all, Miss An's family has not yet come..."

Mrs. Xie also understands this truth: "Don't worry, the tower near the water will get the moon first. I have watched Yi'er grow up since she was a child. I know her temper best. She has only just reached the age of hairpins now. She can still wait. Wait. Once the three-year period of filial piety is over, let An'er marry the one from the An family. After a year, I will find a way to get An'er to let go."

Gui's mother said worriedly: "But I'm afraid the An family won't agree."

Mrs. Xie's lips dropped when she heard this: "Whose house's head mother doesn't put the overall situation first? She can't think about monopolizing one person for the rest of her life. Wouldn't it be jealous and stingy? She won't be able to disobey her then. You are not the one with her rumors. Never heard of it.

In the past, I just wanted to make the child An'er happy and prosperous, but seeing that An'er is so valued by His Majesty, the Sheng family will surely make a comeback and restore its former glory. Now, a decent person is needed to take care of An'er's affairs.

She is such an ignorant and reckless person. If it weren't for her usefulness, how could I let her marry into the Duke's palace? "

Gui's mother stopped talking. She thought that her wife was right. She saw this cousin today. She was pure, gentle, elegant, and charming.

He behaves well, speaks gently and softly, and walks in a well-behaved manner, which is pleasing to the eye. I don't know how much better he is than the one from Anjia.

What's more, my cousin knows very well that now that her parents are gone, the only one she can rely on is the Duke's Palace. When she marries her own young master in the future, she will definitely serve her son and the Duke's Palace wholeheartedly.

The more Gui's mother thought about it, the more she realized that Miss Cousin was perfect.

"Take this soup and go to the master's house."

Mrs. Xie stood up and gave orders. As soon as Gui's mother saw the soup, she immediately smiled and hurriedly packed the soup for fear of spilling. This was a good thing and couldn't be wasted.

In front of the Governor's Mansion

Sheng Huaian was a little surprised when the boy said that An Jinshu had left the house at noon. After questioning, he learned that it was Mrs. An who had led her, Gu Qingchen and others to the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat.

Before An Jinshu left, he wanted to have a word with Sheng Huaian, but he sent someone to look for him, but the other party told him that Sheng Huaian was not available for the time being, so An Jinshu wanted to explain it to the boy at the door, and he would know when Sheng Huaian came to look for him.

Mo Zhu looked at the bleak figure of his young master and said, "Sir, since the third lady is not here, let's go back."

"What time is it now?" Sheng Huaian raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

Mo Zhu made some calculations and replied: "I guess it's already a quarter past two o'clock."

Sheng Huaian lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned and asked the boy from the An family: "Can you give me an approximate location of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city?"

The boy shook his head and said he didn't know.

At the right time, An Jinran walked out of the door and looked happy when he saw Sheng Huaian: "Brother Huai'an, are you looking for my little sister? Unfortunately, my little sister went to the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat. Why don't you and I go to a restaurant for a drink?"

Sheng Huaian raised his hand in greeting and said, "Brother Jinran is here just in time. Can you tell me the location of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city?"

"Why are you asking?" An Jinran was stunned, and then looked at Sheng Huaian with some surprise: "You don't want to find my little sister, do you? That place is not close to Kyoto, and it takes three hours to get back and forth."

Sheng Huaian smiled softly: "It only takes three hours. The pear blossom cakes I bought must be delivered by hand."

Upon hearing these sour words, An Jinran immediately waved his hand to stop him: "I'm really impressed by you scholars. It's really uncomfortable to talk."

An Jinran gave him the location on the outskirts of the city, but when Sheng Huaian got on his horse, he stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute."

Sheng Huaian sat on his horse and looked at him, and saw him running into the Protector's Mansion like the wind, and when he came out, he had an extra package in his hand.

"This is?"

Sheng Huaian thought these were the snacks he brought for Yanyan, but An Jinran, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, was a little cautious at the moment. He smiled and said: "Brother Huai'an handed this trouble to the Qingge guard and said that I prepared it for her." ."

Sheng Huaian understood immediately and said with a joking smile: "Brother Jinran said that we are waiting for scholars. I think Brother Jinran is no less generous than Mr. Sheng."

As he spoke, he smiled heartily and galloped away on his horse.

An Jinran thought happily that when Qingge saw what he had prepared, he would be completely moved. Chasing a girl was nothing more than taking her by surprise, and he understood the same principle as fighting.

Qingge, who knew that An Jinran had brought her something, was a little speechless.

Others give girls cakes, jewelry, clothes, and rouge, but he prefers to give weapons...

Looking at the bag full of small and exquisite flying knives, she picked up one and made two gestures, and found that it was somewhat advantageous.

Hei Zhou appeared behind her at some point. Seeing the sudden smile of Xiao Dao, Qing Ge, who was so keen, didn't notice someone approaching for the first time.

She wanted to block it, but it was too late. Heizhou ducked out of the package and took out a flying knife, holding it in her hand and looking at it twice.

"Sure enough, people who are marching and fighting are different. The things they give are so unique."
