The fine and dense rain falls on the soft ground, and the unique smell of earth floats in the fresh air. The low-key and luxurious carriage is driving slowly on the official road, the trees on the roadside are green and yellow, and the dead leaves that move with the wind tremble It fluttered down, forming a thin layer on the ground, and on the river not far away, there were boats swaying.

"Young Master, Jiangling City is ahead." Liu Wei was wearing a coir raincoat and riding a horse, slowly following the carriage.

Xiao Jumao heard the words in the car, jumped off the man, got out of the car curtain, and saw the Jiangling city tower in the distance, faintly visible in the haze of mist and rain.

Along the way, the scenery has gradually changed from vast and atmospheric to delicate and unique. Jiangnan is indeed as described in the poem, gentle, delicate and beautiful.

"Be careful if you get caught in the rain." Tan Shiguan stretched out his hand to hug him back, "It's not too late to see when you get to the city."

Xiao Jumao opened his mouth and bit the back of his hand, grinding it lightly with his teeth.

Xiao Fan, Zhou Shuo and the others were in the car behind, otherwise they would have been frightened when they saw the doting smile on Tan Shiguan's face.

Xiao Jumao gritted for a while, raised his head, looked at the drool on his hand, and turned his head away in disgust.

Tan Shiguan took out a towel to wipe it clean, smoothed his hair, and said with a low laugh, "You still despise my own?"

The man has handsome eyebrows and a handsome demeanor, his eyes are full of Xiao Jumao, focused and affectionate.

His Majesty Cat's heartbeat fluctuated, and he turned around blankly, with his back to him.

Before the carriage reached the gate of the city, they heard some fighting sounds and wailing sounds from time to time. Liu Wei rode to the front to look, then came back and said, "Master, there are two groups of people fighting."

"Don't worry about it, keep going to the city."

Those two groups were fighting not far from the gate of the city, and the people passing by were all terrified, so they carefully walked around them to avoid being affected.

Liu Wei rode around them on horseback, and the guards driving the car followed. Xiao Jumao sneaked through the curtain lifted by the wind, and saw a group of young men with weapons fighting together. see.

Tan Shi saw the doubt in his eyes, and explained: "This is a battle between the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court will not care about it."

Xiao Jumao nodded to express his understanding.

Just when the carriage was about to move away from the group of people, a sharp sword suddenly burst into the air and approached the carriage. Liu Wei didn't react at all. Just when he turned his head, he saw the sword being hit by someone and flying along the original trajectory. He went back, leaving a mark on the arm of the owner of the sword, and then fell to the ground.

Before Xiao Jumao had time to praise Tan Shiguan's martial arts, he heard one of the scuffle group suddenly shout angrily: "Fucking Zhu Hongye! Who told you to hurt innocent people! You're not pumping, are you?"

Accompanied by the sound of angry reprimand, there was the sound of being beaten by fists, and the person who was beaten was crying for his father and mother, and his wailing was loud.

"Ji Changxuan! Don't go too far!"

"Who is going too far? Who do you say is going too far? If it wasn't for your fucking provocation, I would have fought with you at the gate of the city? You still threw a sword! What if you hurt a passerby?" Ji Changxuan frowned, and beat him up again.

Zhu Hongye hid his chubby body, and was accidentally beaten by Ji Changxuan to the place where he was injured by Tan Shiguan just now. He grinned his teeth in pain, rolled on the ground, and said with a mournful face: "Look, look, what? What kind of innocent person? Look at my wound..." He pointed to his stubby arm, and there was a bloodstain on his clothes.

Ji Changxuan waved his long sword, "Stop fighting!"

The people in the scuffle stopped and looked at him with disgrace. He sheathed his long sword and roughly pulled Zhu Hongye up, "Why are you still fighting? Hurry back to the manor to see the doctor."

Zhu Hongye nodded aggrievedly, picked up his sword, crossed his arms, and was about to take his brothers back to the city, when Ji Changxuan said, "Aren't you going to apologize?"

Zhu Hongye knew that he had accidentally let go of the sword just now. Although it was unintentional, it did disturb others, so accompanied by Ji Changxuan, he came to the side of Tan Shiguan's carriage and hummed softly: "Well, I didn't Be careful throwing the sword out, sorry."

As he spoke, his bun face turned red. He is the young master of the Zhu family. When did he ever apologize to someone like this?But Ji Changxuan was beside him, so he couldn't let him laugh at his lack of education.

"Swords have no eyes, be careful in the future." The man's deep and indifferent words came from the car, and Zhu Hongye's face became even more rosy.

"I told you not to be at the gate of the city, but you didn't listen!" Ji Changxuan saw that the identity of the person in the car was not simple, and worried that Zhu Hongye, a stupid fat man, would offend someone, so he said with a hearty smile, "I just disturbed the senior, I'm really sorry, but I still look forward to Senior Haihan."

"Your name is Ji Changxuan?" Tan Shiguan just saw the fight between the two parties in the car, one of them was still wearing the clothes of Yunxiao Mountain Villa, but he saw that the two parties were just exchanging ideas and not fighting fiercely, so he didn't stop him.

"It's the junior. I don't know if the senior has any orders?" Ji Changxuan's handsome face showed a trace of doubt.

"The swordsmanship is well practiced."

Ji Changxuan froze for a moment, and was about to reply when he saw that the carriage had already entered the city gate.

Zhu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at the handsome and tall boy with his slender eyes, "Ji Changxuan, come with me to the medical clinic."

Ji Changxuan waved his hand, "No, the adoptive father said that the second uncle will return home today, and let me go back early." As he spoke, he led a dozen disciples from Yunxiao Villa into the city.

Zhu Hongye was puzzled, where did Ji Changxuan get a second uncle?

Liu Wei led the carriage through the wide and bright streets of Jiangling City, and finally stopped in front of a simple and solemn mansion.

Liu Wei got off his horse and greeted Zhou Zhao with a smile, "Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Zhao nodded, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were kind. He walked quickly to the carriage and said, "Second Young Master, please get out of the carriage." His calm tone seemed to imply excitement and excitement, but he was used to being prudent. Didn't show much.

Tan Shiguan lifted the curtain, and bowed out of the car. Zhou Zhao immediately held an umbrella for him, and was about to ask someone to pull the carriage down, when Tan Shiguan turned around and stretched out his hand into the car. The next second, a beautiful The cat jumped onto his arm, its golden eyes were dignified and lazy.

Zhou Zhao: "..." The second young master has been away from home for so many years, but he actually changed his hobbies and started raising pets.

"Uncle Zhou, long time no see. How is your health?" Tan Shiguan was dressed as a chivalrous man, handsome and coquettish, with a slight smile on his brows and eyes showing a sense of leisure and wantonness after being relieved of heavy burdens.

Zhou Zhao still had no expression on his face, but the joy in his eyes had already seeped out, "It's very good, Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master is already waiting in the main hall. Why don't you give this cat to the old slave and take it to your yard."

Xiao Jumao glanced at him, I can't even enter the main hall?

Tan Shiguan smiled, "Don't worry, there are still guests."

As he was talking, Zhou Shuo and his carriage stopped slowly behind, and Zhou Zhao looked over.

Zhou Shuo got out of the car and immediately laughed when he saw Zhou Zhao, "Uncle Zhou, long time no see, you are still so energetic!"

Zhou Zhao's eyes were full of joy, "It turns out that it is Doctor Zhou, thanks to the medicine you gave me, otherwise I would have to stand here with a cane."

Although the two have the same surname, they are not from the same family, but Zhou Shuo once helped him heal internal injuries, so they have a deep friendship.

Zhou Zhao originally thought that Zhou Shuo was the guest that the second young master was talking about, but he didn't expect that there was a handsome child who got out of the car with Zhou Shuo.

Xiao Fan just heard Zhou Shuo's name, so he politely called out: "Grandpa Zhou is good."

Zhou Zhao nodded and looked at Tan Shiguan.

Tan Shiguan recruited Xiao Fan, and said to Zhou Zhao: "Uncle Zhou, go and prepare a room for Xiao Fan." He paused, and then said, "It's next to Changxuan, Zhou Shuo's room is still the same. "

Zhou Zhao agreed, and then looked at the orange cat lying softly in his arms, "Then this cat, do you want to make a cat litter?"

Xiao Jumao got a little furry when he heard the words, Tan Shiguan responded in time, "Uncle Zhou, he is Yuan Bao, he will sleep with me, you just need to order the dining room to make some cat food."

Zhou Zhao was about to respond when he heard a soft meow. He was looking at Yuan Bao just now, but Yuan Bao didn't speak, so he looked into Xiao Fan's arms. A petite snow-white cat was yawning with its mouth wide open, and opened its eyes. At that time, a pair of blue eyes, really pitiful and lovely.

Alright, it looks like I need to prepare two servings of cat food.

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from inside the mansion: "You bastard, hurry up and come in! What are you doing outside?"

Xiao Jumao was startled by this voice, it sounded like Tan Shiguan's elder brother had a bit of a hot temper, and he was actually called Tan Shiguan a bastard... Where does the majestic Xiao Guoding have any face?

"Uncle Zhou, I'm going to see my brother first." He hugged Xiao Jumao and led Xiao Fan and Zhou Shuo to the main hall.

In the main hall, Tan Lie stared at a pair of handsome eyes, and watched Tan Shiguan walk in with a cat in his arms, and suddenly reprimanded: "Look at what you look like! Put the cat down!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jumao's lazy golden eyes suddenly widened, don't think that you are brother Tan Shiguan so I dare not scratch you!

He was about to jump down, when he heard a soft and pleasant voice outside the house: "Look at you, you can't say something nice just after Shi Guan came back? Who has been unable to sleep these nights?"

Just as Xiao Jumao was wondering, a woman with a tea tray appeared in front of her, with a delicate appearance, gentle and demure, and an orchid-like temperament.

Tan Lie snorted, took a look at Tan Shi, "Sit down."

Tan Shi watched and sat down with a smile, "Thank you sister-in-law for helping me out."

Jin Lan smiled and served them tea, "It's a long journey, let's have a sip of tea first."

Zhou Shuo immediately said, "Thank you, Young Madam."

Xiao Fan's face was a little red, and he said weakly, "Thank you, Auntie."

Jin Lan saw him as a child, holding a white cat in his arms, full of motherly love, and asked with a gentle smile, "How old are you? What's your name?"

Xiao Fan replied honestly: "I am nine years old, and my name is Xiao Fan."

When Jin Lan heard his surname, she was taken aback for a moment, then recovered her expression, and said, "Good boy, come with Auntie and see if you like the yard prepared for you. If you want anything, just tell Auntie." Holding his little hand, he was about to go out and walk to the backyard.

At this time, a heroic young man suddenly appeared outside the house, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of energy, walked into the house, and first saluted Tan Lie and Jin Lan: "Changxuan has met his foster father and foster mother."

Jin Lan smiled and grabbed his wrist with the other hand, leading him to Tan Shiguan, "Changxuan, this is your second uncle, come and greet me."

Ji Changxuan secretly took a look at Tan Shiguan, and then obediently kowtowed, "Changxuan has seen the second uncle."

"Get up, we're meeting for the first time, I'll give you this dagger." Tan Shiguan unloaded the dagger he had prepared from his waist, and handed it to Ji Changxuan.

Ji Changxuan took it respectfully, "Thank you, Second Uncle." Why did he hear Second Uncle's voice sound familiar?Moreover, the second uncle, who looks serious and stable, actually likes to keep cats. He lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Jumao, um, his eyes are round, his head is rounder, he looks a bit fat.

Jin Lan introduced him again with a smile, "This is your Uncle Zhou."

Ji Changxuan still saluted.

Zhou Shuo took it out of his pocket, then froze, "Huh? Where's my jade pendant?"

Xiao Jumao was a little speechless.

Xiao Fan took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, "Uncle Zhou, is this one? You asked me to keep it that day."

Zhou Shuo slapped his head, "I actually forgot, Xiaofan, you can just give it to Brother Changxuan."

Xiao Fan obediently handed the jade pendant to Ji Changxuan, looking at the tall and straight brother with a pair of clear black eyes, full of admiration.

It was only then that Ji Changxuan noticed that the adoptive mother was holding a thin child in her arms, and the child was holding a white kitten in his arms. One person and one cat all looked at him with watery eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable at once, and quickly reached out to take it. "Thank you brother."

Xiao Fan smiled and rolled his eyes, his delicate and immature face was very cute.

Ji Changxuan really wanted to reach out and touch his head, but he held back.

Jin Lan's smile became more gentle, "You two will follow me to see Xiaofan's yard."

Zhou Shuo also stood up immediately, "I'm going back to deal with my medicine."

After the four of them left, the atmosphere in the main hall became cold, and Tan Lie frowned tightly, looking at Tan Shiguan, as if he was about to beat him up in the next second.

"You kid is capable! It's been more than ten years since you left! I heard that you have caught Ding Guogong in front of you now. Does it mean that you don't like our small villa and don't want to come back?"

Tan Shi watched with a smile and shook his head, "Brother, don't be angry. I was young and energetic at the time, and I always wanted to make contributions and go out for a while. Later, after I joined the army, because of the busy war, I had no time to take care of other things. Then..."

"Afterwards, when I became the regent, I worked hard every day to help the little emperor, so I didn't have time, right? The letters also changed from three letters a month to one letter a month..." He suddenly sighed. He said, "Actually, I wanted to go to the capital to arrest you and come back. I was afraid that the little emperor would kill the donkey. Fortunately, he still has a conscience and will make you a prince."

Xiao Jumao: "..." One mouthful of a little emperor, is I really that heartless?But thinking that he really doubted Tan Shiguan, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Tan Shi watched with a smile, "I'm back, haven't I?"

Tan Lie snorted, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as going home and taking a look?"

Tan Shi watched and laughed without saying a word.

"Forget it, I don't care about your court affairs, but that Xiao Fan belongs to the royal family?"

Tan Shiguan didn't intend to hide it from him, "He is the heir of the former abolished prince."

"Oh," Tan Lie nodded to express his understanding, "The root bone is not bad."

Tan Shi watched with a smile, his elder brother had a very high vision, and if he said the roots were good, then it was very good.

"Changxuan is also very good."

Hearing this, Tan Lie frowned, "It's true. Back then, your sister-in-law was infertile after being injured, and she was sad all day long. How many times have I told her that it's enough for me to like her, it doesn't matter if I have children or not." Secondly, you are still in the Tan family anyway, but she just won't listen, and by chance, I adopted Changxuan as my adopted son, and your sister-in-law treats him as her own child, and she feels much better."

Tan Shiguan listened quietly.

Xiao Jumao changed a lot towards Tan Lie when he heard the words, although his temper is bad and his speech is not pleasant, but just because of this, he is much better than some people.

He was thinking about it, when Tan Lie frowned and asked: "I remember you didn't like cats and dogs before, how did you raise a cat? This cat looks so fat, maybe it's lazy?"

Xiao Jumao: "..." He solemnly retracted his previous thoughts!
