I, the fox clan, Arita!

The carriage traveled on the road for more than ten days, and when Lingshu was on the verge of collapse, he finally arrived at Shengjing, the capital of the Daqing Dynasty.

The convoy had a good night's rest in a small town outside Shengjing, and set off towards the city gate early the next morning.

The carriage is covered with fine woolen blankets, and the inner walls are covered with soft silk brocade, and there are moderately soft and hard cushions, making it extremely comfortable. There is a small heater in the corner of the carriage, and the heat is continuous released, warming the entire space.

Ling Shu leaned back in the car, wrapped in sable fur, holding a hand stove in his arms, his face was pale, his eyes were dull and listless.

He felt that he was already a salted fish.

How excited I was when I set off, how life would be worse than death now.

In ancient times, it was really not suitable for traveling!

The carriage is really not for people to sit on! !

On the first day of departure, he was still very excited, and he had to open the car window to look at the scenery outside from time to time. It's a small town, and the environment is not good when resting in the inn, and the food is unpalatable.

Lingshu was extremely disappointed at the moment.

For the next ten days or so, the process of the first day was completely repeated.

Even Wei Xiuya's beauty could not make him happy.

If it wasn't for Wei Xiuya in the car, Lingshu would have wanted to say that he was going home many times.

"How long will it be?" Ling asked for the 100nth time.

Wei Xiuya frowned and touched Ling Shu's face that had obviously shrunk, feeling extremely distressed, "I'll be going to the city soon, just persevere at the end, and I'll be fine when I get home."

"Why are you in such good spirits!" Ling Shu stared at Wei Xiuya and said with great resentment.

Obviously they all ride the same carriage!Wei Xiuya acted like a normal person, compared to him, he was a rookie.

Wei Xiuya didn't reply, he just held Ling Shu in his arms, making him more comfortable.

He has internal energy to protect his body, and he was used to marching in the wild in the past. Being able to ride in a carriage when traveling long distances is already a very good treatment for him.

Not long after, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Lingshu heard the sound of carriages, horses and people, saying that they were about to pass the city gate.

Lingshu lifted his spirits, opened the car window, and saw the majestic and majestic city gate towering into the sky, surrounded by vehicles and people entering the city. Passing through the city gate, Lingshu felt a bright light in front of his eyes, and instantly fell into a colorful world. of a whole new world.

As the new year is approaching, Shengjing is crowded with people. Countless shops and stalls fill the wide streets. There are nobles in brocade and luxurious clothes, ordinary people in short brown clothes, young talents in high spirits, There are also delicate and soft-spoken ladies.

The chubby master chef in front of the noodle booth nimbly pulled and pulled the noodles, threw them into the air, threw a beautiful arc, and then bounced back again. The curtain fell into the hot soup pot with a clatter.

The waiter wearing a hat held a bowl of steaming wontons in each hand, and sang loudly: "Come——! Your two bowls of three delicacies—"

The man who fried the fried dough sticks gently pulled and twisted the noodles in his hands, and the fried dough sticks turned out cheerful oil flowers in the oil pan; The old man was taking out the freshly baked sesame biscuits one by one from the stove, and the foreigner with pigtails, high nose and deep eyes was peddling the spices from his stall in broken Daqing Mandarin...

There are all kinds of lifelike small animals on the kneading man's stall, such as chickens, ducks, cows, sheep... A group of children surrounded the stall, crying and clamoring for the dough kneading man, no matter how adults pulled them away, they couldn't pull them away. .

At the corner of the street, a girl in a bright red coat was kicking a shuttlecock, and the crowd of onlookers counted loudly: "180 nine, 190! 190 one, 190 two...two hundred! Oh—oh—! Give me the money! Give me the money! money!"

Some people in the juggling troupe were performing boulder-breaking chests and flame-breathing mouths. Several benches were piled up on top of each other, up to the height of three floors. It was like a castle in the air. There was only one bench, and there was a young man standing on that bench, with a fiery red silk flower in his mouth, he flipped lightly and profitably, causing the audience below to applaud.

Lingshu was stunned when he saw this, there was no security measures, so he couldn't help but yelled, "Okay!"

The little brother stood alone with only one leg of a golden rooster, condescendingly seeing Lingshu poking his head out of the window, he smiled slightly, bent down and did another somersault, and threw the silk flower between his lips straight at Lingshu.

The silk flower hit Lingshu on the head and fell out of the window.

The crowd booed immediately: "Oh—oh—reward—! Reward—! Reward—!"

"Do you want a reward?" Ling Shu's face was flushed, and he frantically touched his purse, feeling like a bumpkin who didn't understand anything, and hurriedly asked Wei Xiuya, "How much do you want to give?"

Wei Xiuya shook his head and smiled helplessly. His slender fingers closed together, holding a small silver ingot of five taels. He stretched out his hand to the window and moved slightly. The silver ingot shot towards the little brother on the high place. He got up, raised his hand to catch the silver ingot, turned somersault in mid-air, and landed firmly on the bench, and there was another loud applause from all around.

Lingshu clapped his hands against the window and clapped desperately, his hands were red, the carriage passed the juggling troupe, Lingshu still reluctantly stretched out his head and couldn't stop looking back.

I was regretting that as I walked farther and farther away I couldn't see it. When I turned my head, I saw a little monkey in the crowd squeaking and climbing a tall bamboo pole. Stop laughing.

Seeing that the little monkey was smart and cute, Lingshu leaned half of his body out of the window, and waved vigorously at the little monkey: "Hey—look at me! Look here—! I have something delicious!"

He held a peach cake in his hand and waved it. The little monkey quickly jumped down from the bamboo pole, stepped on the heads of the audience, jumped in front of Lingshu, took the peach cake, turned around and jumped back to the bamboo pole , hugging her front paws and bowing to Lingshu, Lingshu smiled happily.

Along the way, Lingshu felt that his eyes could not see at all. The carriage passed through the city, and the flow of people gradually decreased, so Lingshu just sat down obediently.

With a smile in his eyes, Wei Xiuya asked him, "Is the capital fun?"

"Fun!" Lingshu nodded vigorously.

"Don't you feel tired now?" Wei Xiuya teased.

"Hmm..." Ling Shu scratched his head in embarrassment, and then gave Wei Xiuya a fierce look.

The carriage stopped.

Wei Xiuya said, "It's home."

Wei Ba and Wei Jiu lifted the wheelchair from the back of the car, pushed it to the front, and helped Wei Xiuya get off the car.

Ling Shu jumped down immediately, and looked at the mansion in front of him curiously with wide eyes. A tall stone lion squatted on both sides of the door. There was a plaque hanging on the vermilion gate, with the words "Weifu" written on it.

There are high courtyard walls on both sides, and only the canopy of towering ancient trees can be seen from the outside. It is winter now, and most of the leaves on the canopy have fallen off. Only a few evergreen trees are still standing firmly in the wind and snow. In the middle, there was no one in the alley in front of the door, and it was so solemn that Lingshu felt a little depressed.

The door opened with a "squeak", and two men with swords on their waists came out first. When they saw Wei Xiuya, they knelt on one knee and bowed, "Your Majesty!"

Lingshu:? ? ?

what?

Is Wei Xiuya the Marquis? !

"Get up," Wei Xiuya sat on the wheelchair and nodded, "Is everything okay in the mansion?"

Wei Ba pushed the wheelchair into the door, and Ling Shu hurriedly followed.

The two men looked at each other with a look of embarrassment on their faces, hesitating and speechless.

Wei Xiuya raised his eyebrows: "What?"

At this moment, Lingshu only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and four fat and thin beautiful women came out from the door. Yingying bowed to Wei Xiuya, and said in a soft voice, "Servant sword, book, and painting!" , Shi Mo, I have met Lord Hou, and welcome Lord Hou back to the mansion."

The two men who opened the door before "Putong" knelt down straight again, and both of them buried their heads low, not daring to speak.

Wei Xiuya's face darkened in an instant, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Lingshu, but he saw that Lingshu was looking at the four women in front of him curiously, not at all unhappy, and there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes.

Wei Xiuya's face darkened immediately.

"Get out!" Wei Xiuya ordered in a deep voice.

Wei Ba pushed Wei Xiuya and walked straight in.

As soon as the two big men kneeling on the ground heard the order, they immediately stood up as if they had been spat with chicken blood. They each pulled the two girls and pushed them away. They both looked excited, obviously long ago. did.

"Master Hou!" the girls exclaimed, "You can't drive us away! We were sent by my wife to take care of Master Hou!"

Wei Xiuya didn't even look back.

Wei Shi said: "Go away! Go back where you came from! Tell your wife, you must be self-aware. This is Wuweihou's mansion, and our master is Wuweihou. She can't let her handle it. Madam meddling in Marquis Wuwei's inner house, isn't she afraid that people in Beijing will laugh at her?! What kind of cats and dogs dare to fortify our Hou's mansion, and it is easy to bully us when they are masters?"

Lingshu: ...

Wow - just so heartless!

But - well done!

Judging by the appearance and dress of those maidservants, they are not here to serve people seriously, are they?

He has never seen the twists and turns of these wealthy families before, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know these things. When he was on the home planet, there were too many TV dramas. Don't think he doesn't know who the men in the Daqing Dynasty are. You can take the maids who serve you as concubines.

He didn't want Wei Xiuya to have Yingyingyanyan around him!

As Lingshu walked in, he couldn't help but walk a few steps and then looked back at the girls. The delicate girls were dragged and thrown out, so pitiful.

Seeing Ling Shu like this, Wei Xiuya felt even worse.

Little thing had never seen a beautiful woman when he was in Yan's Village, but now that he saw the four just now, he couldn't help being tempted?

Damn Xu.

Wei Xiuya remembered his stepmother again in his heart.

Finally, the voices of those girls could no longer be heard, and Lingshu withdrew his attention, and kept looking at Wei Xiuya's home.

Since it is a marquis' mansion, the scenery inside is naturally very good. It is not a star and a half higher than the guard mansion in Dingchun Town. This mansion is probably bestowed by the emperor.

It just feels very simple and unpopular.

However, Wei Xiuya hadn't come back for a long time, and since the master wasn't around, it was normal for him to be unpopular.

Also, Lingshu discovered that the servants who came and went were all men, exactly the same as the Weifu in Dingchun Town, without a single maid.

Wei Ba pushed Wei Xiuya into the main courtyard. The servants had already prepared hot water for bathing. Lingshu's room was arranged next to Wei Xiuya. The layout and furnishings were almost the same, but the orientation was reversed. .

The ground dragon in the house was burning hot, and the room was as warm as spring. Ling Shu took off his clothes and jumped into the tub, sighing in comfort.

After traveling for so long, I can finally take a good bath!

He feels like he's going to have lice all over his body, doesn't he?

After taking a shower happily, Ling Shu put on clean clothes and felt refreshed all of a sudden. Wei Shi came outside and asked him to eat, Ling Shu responded and went out to find Wei Xiuya.

Wei Xiuya had already been sitting at the table waiting for Lingshu. He also changed into a long robe, this time it was not the usual black, but a moon-white brocade robe. His half-wet long hair was casually scattered on his shoulders. He was simply handsome. Ling Shu's face changed.

Lingshu sat down next to Wei Xiuya with bright eyes, and kept looking at him.

There was a table full of exquisite dishes on the table. Wei Xiuya picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and put it in the Lingshu bowl: "You must be hungry on this journey, eat more."

Only then did Lingshu come back to his senses, grabbed the chopsticks and opened his belly to eat. Wei Xiuya only smiled and kept picking up food for him. After a while, Lingshu felt his stomach was a little full, so he slowed down.

"What is Marquis Wuwei?" Ling Shu asked Wei Xiuya while eating food.

Wei Xiuya laughed, flicked him on the forehead, and said, "Marquis Wuwei is not a thing, but a title."

Lingshu said: "Of course I know, I mean how old is this official? Is it very powerful?"

"I'm not an official," Wei Xiuya shook his head and said, "My official title is General Dingyuan."

Lingshu:! ! !

"You never told me before!" Ling Shu complained with wide-eyed eyes.

"You never asked me." Wei Xiuya raised his eyebrows.

"But—" Ling Shu was about to refute, but then another thing came to his mind, "Since you have an official position, you don't need to work—I mean, don't you need to work for the emperor?"

Wei Xiuya smiled lightly, and said: "I have an official position but no real power. Now I don't have any soldiers."

"Why—" Ling Shu had just asked this, when he suddenly remembered that Wei Xiuya's leg was injured, and the doctor diagnosed that his leg would never get better.

Sure enough, Wei Xiuya said casually, "Of course it's because of a leg injury."

"Your legs are better now." Ling Shu suddenly became nervous and asked eagerly, "Will you go to the battlefield then?"

He didn't want Wei Xiuya to lead troops to fight!

Too dangerous!

Swords have no eyes, what if they get hurt again... Ling Shu didn't even dare to think about it.

Wei Xiuya rubbed Lingshu's head and said with a smile, "That depends on whether the emperor will let me go to the battlefield."

"It's better for him never to think of you!" Lingshu said, rolling his eyes, and suggested, "Otherwise...or you can pretend that your leg is not healed yet."

"You're the only one with a lot of bad ideas." Wei Xiuya scratched Lingshu's nose in a funny way.

Lingshu chuckled, and asked him like a curious baby, "Do you live alone in your Marquis's mansion? Who is the Mrs. Guo that Xiao Shi mentioned just now?"

"There are so many questions," Wei Xiuya clicked his tongue, "Let me tell you about my family."

Lingshu immediately raised his ears, looking like he wanted to listen to gossip, making Wei Xiuya dumbfounded.

The ancestor of the Wei family was one of the founding heroes of Daqing. He was named the Duke of Anguo by the founding emperor, and has been hereditary until now. He is one of the only five most distinguished noble families left in the Daqing Dynasty.

Wei Xiuya's father is the Duke of An of this generation, and his mother is the daughter of the imperial merchant Shen's family. This marriage is the result of the Shen family's marriage to the Wei family. Although he has become the wife of the Duke, the clan members have always looked down on Wei Xiuya. Her mother was the daughter of a businessman, and even with her husband backing her up, Mrs. Shen was often depressed. After giving birth to Wei Xiuya's sister, she fell ill and died during childbirth.

A few years later, Wei Xiuya's father married a continuation. This wife was surnamed Xu, and she was the first daughter of the Xu family in Chengyi's mansion. After marrying, she treated Wei Xiuya and his brother well, and later gave birth to a son. , Wei Xiuya's identity became awkward.

Both of them are legitimate sons, who will inherit the duke title in the future?Logically, it should be inherited by the eldest son, but Wei Xiuya, the eldest son without his biological mother, no one will take him seriously, unless An Guogong favors him, and since his stepmother Xu has a biological son, she must take it for him His own son is fighting for it.

Lingshu interjected: "So you gave up the position of the prince of An Guogong, and went to the battlefield alone to earn meritorious service?"

"Do you think that I will not be a Duke in the future, and my title is not high enough?" Wei Xiuya asked Lingshu back.

Lingshu shook his head: "You are already very powerful now! Does it matter if you are the Duke?"

But wait!

Why do you always feel that Wei Xiuya's question is a bit strange?

Ling Shu frowned slightly.

"Some people dislike it." Wei Xiuya smiled with his lips curled up.

"Who?!" Ling Shu asked subconsciously.

If it was before Wei Xiuya went to Dingchun Town, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to mention this matter, and the people around him know that this matter is a taboo in the Marquis of Wuwei, whoever mentions it bad luck.

Wei Xiuya said, "I have a fiancée."

Lingshu:! ! !

"After she learned that my leg couldn't be healed anymore, and that I had handed over my military authority, and took the vacant post of a powerless and powerless general, she came to my door and divorced."

Lingshu: ...

Please, you, talk, don't, gasp!

Lingshu let out a breath, and the villain in his heart was beating gongs and drums, retreating well, retreating wonderfully, retreating croakingly!

If it wasn't for the divorce, Wei Xiuya wouldn't have gone to Dingchun Town, and he wouldn't have met Wei Xiuya either!

That unknown lady, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

"Okay," Wei Xiuya said, "everything has been said. By the way, there is one more thing. My sister is the concubine of the current Fifth Prince Fu."

"Then you..." Lingshu's eyeballs rolled around a few times, like a cunning little fox, "You have been divorced, so you probably won't want to get married in a short time, right?"

Wei Xiuya couldn't help laughing, and tapped Lingshu on the head, "Fool."

"Why hit someone!" Lingshu patted his head in dissatisfaction, "Will it happen?!"

"No." Wei Xiuya said with a smile.

After getting this answer, Lingshu was finally satisfied, so he relaxed and lowered his head to eat again.

After dinner, Lingshu went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

The journey was really exhausting, Lingshu had never suffered such a crime, and the temperature in the room was comfortable, so he slept until dawn the next day.

After waking up and looking at the sky outside the window, Lingshu felt a little embarrassed, he was really able to sleep.

He still ate breakfast with Wei Xiuya, originally Lingshu wanted to go shopping excitedly, but before he left, acquaintances came to visit him.

The nine young masters of the Shen family, Shen Ziyue and Yuzhang, came.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Shen Ziyue is still the same, with a low-key luxury all over his body, Yuzhang's appearance has become more and more refined, from head to toe, it shows that this young man is held in the palm of his hand and pampered.

Seeing Lingshu, Yuzhang was overjoyed. He stepped forward to pull Lingshu's hand, but Shen Ziyue stopped him indiscriminately, and held Yuzhang's hand in his own. Yuzhang didn't notice, and just followed Lingshu Speak quietly.

The four sat down in the warm pavilion, and the servants brought tea and snacks.

Wei Xiuya's face was displeased, and he directly shook his face at his little uncle, "Why are you in such a hurry? We just arrived in the capital yesterday, and the conditions on the road are difficult. We haven't even had a good night's sleep these days, and Lingshu's chin is so sharp." Do you want to let him cultivate for a few days?"

"If you're not in a hurry, it's too late." Wei Xiuya's attitude was so bad, Shen Ziyue was not angry, and just reminded, "Doesn't the green wishful vegetable need time? It's almost Chinese New Year, when do we have to wait? Dedicate it to the emperor What is that special dish? I haven’t even seen a shadow of it until now, Lingshu, are you kidding me?”

"No, no, no!" Lingshu hurriedly raised a hand and swore, "I definitely didn't play with Shen Jiushao! I've already rested! Let's plant green Ruyi today! By the way, you have to help me find a handy Blacksmith sets tools."

"The blacksmith is fine, I can find as many as you want," Shen Ziyue said, "If that's the case, then shall we leave now?"

Wei Xiuya's aura instantly turned cold.

"Let's go!" Ling Shu tilted his head and asked Wei Xiuya, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Your legs are inconvenient, so don't go, I can do it myself."

"I'll go too." Wei Xiuya said flatly.
