Don't go back to hometown

In the early morning, the surface of the river is foggy and pleasant, shrouded in the chill of late autumn.

Jiang Xianyu helped the bodyguard to load the cargo that was going to be escorted back to Yangzhou this time. He sweated a lot after going back and forth several times. He wanted to take off his clothes and change into a thin shirt, but was stopped by Xie Cheng.

"It's cold, and it's easier to catch cold when you sweat."

Jiang Xianyu thought for a while, but still listened to Xie Cheng's words.

He and Xie Cheng didn't bring autumn clothes when they came here, they went to Langyun Pavilion to make a few sets a while ago, all of the same fabric and color, Xie Cheng ordered a scholar's robe, and he ordered a strong suit imitating a horse riding outfit.

Jiang Baizhou was so sour when he saw it: "Those who don't know think you two are brothers."

Jiang Xianyu made some new clothes for him out of his own pocket, and only then did he stop his mouth.

Today Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng wore the same color, and the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau joked that they were closer than brothers.

Jiang Xianyu felt guilty when he heard that, he was embarrassed to stand with Xie Cheng, looking for work without touching the ground.

Just after taking a sip of hot tea, he asked Xie Cheng again: "Have all our luggage been loaded onto the boat?"

Xie Cheng: "Well, take a break."

Jiang Xianyu glimpsed that Mo Heping was still helping Duan Shuwen with luggage, and couldn't stay idle, "I'll go help Brother Duan."

Xie Cheng knew that he was still uncomfortable because of the ridicule of the crowd just now, so he endured the thought of going to help.

He deliberately made similar clothes to show their intimacy to the people around him, and wanted to use a subtle way so that everyone would not be too surprised when they learned about their relationship in the future.

Although the boy was shy, he was willing to cooperate, which was enough to make him happy, and it didn't matter if he kept a little distance.

Duan Shuwen bought a lot of jewelry, clothes, books and toys, filled several boxes, and prepared to take them back to Xie Sangrou and Duan Qixuan.He was afraid of being damaged, so he didn't dare to let the handyman on the ship do it, so he called Shang Pingan and Shimo to move it himself.

Jiang Xianyu helped carry the box, and Li Mingya's carriage also drove to the pier.

"Brother Yu!"

She raised the curtain of the carriage to greet him, and jumped down eagerly before the carriage stopped, causing the nuns and Qing Kui behind her to watch with horror.

Inappropriate!How inappropriate!

"Is this the little princess you mentioned?" Jiang Baizhou walked up to Jiang Xianyu and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xianyu almost couldn't help but cover his face: "...she is still young, so take care of me."

Jiang Baizhou was slightly taken aback: "...I didn't think it was anything at first, but after you said that, it seems that she...is difficult to serve?"

Jiang Xianyu choked: "That's not the case... that's right, she ran out to play without telling her family, and ran all the way from Xi'an to Jinling, so... Brother, do you understand?"

"Understood." Jiang Baizhou raised his eyebrows, and threw out the conclusion loudly, "It's as bad as you."

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

While speaking, Li Mingya had already rushed to the side of the boat in a slightly undignified manner, "Brother Yu, this is...?"

She looked at Jiang Baizhou, showing a sweet smile.

"This is my brother, Jiang Baizhou."

Li Mingya blinked, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't your brother Xie Jieyuan?"

Jiang Baizhou frowned immediately, and stared at Jiang Xianyu coldly: Who is your brother?

Jiang Xianyu looked away and explained to Li Mingya: "Xie Cheng is my senior brother, this is my own brother."

"I see." Li Mingya glanced at Jiang Baizhou, smiled embarrassedly, and greeted him, "Brother Jiang, my name is Mingya, please take care of me."

She has a special status, and she only calls herself Ming to the outside world, and the single name is elegant.This time back to Yangzhou, Jiang Xianyu and the others called her that.

Jiang Baizhou gave Jiang Xianyu a look of "I will settle accounts with you in the future", and turned to Li Mingya with a warm smile: "You are welcome, those... are all your luggage?"

Li Mingya brought three carriages, more than 20 entourages and guards, and they were unloading her boxes one by one.

"Yes..." She looked at Jiang Baizhou embarrassedly: "Is it too much? I have left some in Jinling, and I will bring them with me when I am going back."

Jiang Baizhou: "..."

"It's okay, the space on the boat is big enough for you to put it down." Jiang Baizhou comforted himself in his heart while consoling him in a gentle voice: the girl's family is precious, so it's normal to prepare more luggage when you go out, there's nothing to make a fuss about.

Jiang Xianyu counted the number of boxes from a distance, with a helpless expression: Those who didn't know thought you were married!

But he knew that the girl was thin-skinned and some jokes would not be joked, so he didn't say it, and only called the bodyguard to help carry the box.

The bodyguard went to communicate with the guards brought by Li Mingya, one of them was probably the head of the bodyguard, followed the line of sight of the bodyguard to Jiang Baizhou, and walked towards him.

"Jiang Biaotou." The head guard in his early thirties was calm and dignified, and saluted Jiang Baizhou with his fists cupped. "My surname is Zheng, and I am the head of the bodyguard for my lady. She is responsible for protecting her. My lady has a special status, so please take care of Jiang Baizhou."

First, it was a polite request, and second, it was a warning, hoping that the Jiang family would take good care of Li Mingya.

Jiang Baizhou's expression remained unchanged, and he cupped his fists in return: "Don't dare to be a guest. Jiang will try his best to take good care of you."

Jiang Xianyu didn't stay to listen to their politeness to each other, but took Li Mingya to greet Xie Cheng and Duan Shuwen.

Xie Cheng knew Jiang Xianyu's protection of her, although he was uncomfortable in his heart, he still showed courtesy and had a gentle attitude.

Duan Shuwen also heard Jiang Xianyu mention Li Mingya's identity, and he was prepared in his heart, only treating her as a young lady from a wealthy family, and kept his distance.

Li Mingya was not afraid of strangers, she seemed to regard Jiang Xianyu's "relatives" as her acquaintances, calling "Brother Xie" and "Brother Duan" very skillfully.

He also stared at the clothes of the same color on Xie Cheng and Jiang Xianyu's body, and finally said: "I will also make the same clothes as my little sister later on, so that people can see that they have a good relationship at a glance."

Jiang Xianyu twitched his eyelashes guiltily, "You girls, aren't you most afraid of being dressed the same as others?"

Before Li Mingya answered, Xie Cheng interjected: "You know their girls."

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

"No," he quickly denied, "I, I just heard what Tan Yunhan said."

Seeing that Xie Cheng was still looking at him with a half-smile, Jiang Xianyu explained: "He always complains that his sister keeps changing clothes, saying that he doesn't want to wear the same clothes as others."

At this point in the explanation, he paused, glanced at Xie Cheng, and turned to choke him: "If the clothes are the same, how can I stand out in front of her favorite 'Xie Lang'?"

Xie Cheng: "..." Jealousy is not small, just in line with his wishes.

He bent his lips and looked at Jiang Xianyu meaningfully.Jiang Xianyu looked away, the back of his ears began to feel hot.

"Xie Lang is...?" Li Mingya blinked and looked at the two with curiosity.

"Cough..." Jiang Xianyu cleared his throat, "It's his cousin Xie Cheng."

Li Mingya nodded: "It turns out that your friend's sister likes Brother Xie's cousin!"

"But—" she suddenly stopped and looked at the two of them, "Isn't there a big age difference between them? How did you know each other?"

Jiang Xianyu: "..." It seems a little big.

He looked at Xie Cheng for help, but Xie Cheng looked at him with a slight smile: Make up, you continue to make up.

Jiang Xianyu said cheekily: "Maybe... is actually your cousin?"

Xie Cheng bent his lips and said perfunctorily, "Really? I don't know too well."

Li Mingya was confused when she heard it, but she was interested in Jiang Xianyu's friend's sister and Xie Cheng's cousin, "Introduce me then, let me see who she likes."

Jiang Xianyu couldn't lie, and said dryly: "...Girl, please don't gossip like this."

Li Mingya raised her chin and "hummed", "No!"

When the boat arrived in Yangzhou, Jiang Xianyu had already been pestered by Li Mingya and asked countless times what kind of people Tan Yunhan's sister and Xie Cheng's cousin were, which almost drove Jiang Xianyu crazy.

He was good and unfamiliar with Tan Fang, and he had only met Xie Ningyuan once or twice. Although Xie Ningze entered the children's class, it didn't take long for Jiang Xianyu to accompany Xie Cheng to Jinling. How could he know who was the best match among the three? !

Later, Jiang Xianyu had to hide in Xie Cheng's cabin and refused Mingya to join their man-to-man conversation, so Qing Kui and Mammy took Li Mingya back to her own cabin to rest.

Jiang Xianyu knows how difficult it is to take care of his younger sister.

……

Today's Yangzhou Wharf is extremely lively, because the two young men from the Xie family, Xie Yuan and the Jiang family, are coming back.

These three are all famous people in Yangzhou City. One is older and unmarried but stable and reliable, with a dignified appearance; Sassy, ​​with high martial arts skills; they are all figures who have long been at the top of the list of men most admired by women in Yangzhou.

After the official messenger who announced the good news came to Yangzhou, Xie Cheng threw off the two young heroes of the Jiang family by a large margin, and won the favor of most of the women of the right age, looking forward to the opportunity to make a good relationship with him.

So this day at the wharf, apart from Father Jiang and Mother Xie who came to pick him up, the private rooms of nearby teahouses and restaurants were full of young girls who had heard the news and elders who looked after the girls at home.

As soon as the ship docked, it touched the heartstrings of countless people.

However, when everyone saw a young girl wearing a veiled hat getting off the boat behind the Jiang brothers and Xie Cheng, alarm bells rang out in their hearts!

This, this... where did the little goblin come from——no, little girl!Such a graceful figure, such a swaying figure, and such a light step!Obviously... obviously not to be underestimated!

Is it Mr. Xie who has been preempted?

Or is Jiang Biaotou finally enlightened?

Could it be that our young master Jiang opened the peach blossoms first?

For a while, there was a burst of crackling, heart-breaking dreams.

Even Mother Jiang, when she saw Li Mingya approaching, the first thing she said was: "Hey, from a distance, I thought you two, who brought me a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Baizhou and Jiang Xianyu: "..."

"Mother, our family can't compete with Miss Ming." Jiang Baizhou lowered his voice and reminded his mother in a subtle way: Don't think about your daughter-in-law being crazy, you clearly wrote to your elders and mentioned that this is Prince Rui's daughter!

"That's right, mother." Jiang Xianyu glanced at Xie Cheng's expression, and emphasized: "Brother and I only regard Mingya as a younger sister, so please don't mess with the couple."

"Okay, okay." Mother Jiang held Mingya's hand and looked at her lovingly, "If you don't bring me a daughter-in-law, it's fine to bring a younger sister. Our family is short of a girl."

Li Mingya could feel the tenderness and kindness in Mother Jiang's eyes, so she didn't feel offended, and said with a smile: "That's such a coincidence, I also want Brother Jiang and Brother Xiao Yu to be my elder brothers, and a beautiful and gentle wife like you." Damn."

The people who gathered around and happened to hear the first half rushed to spread the news: Surprise!This girl is actually the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family!

The person who heard the second half of the passage said again: Surprise!This girl is the god-sister recognized by the Jiang family brothers, and she is planning to marry the Xie family!

The next day, Jiang Xianyu, who had had enough rest at home, heard these rumors:? ? ?It's nothing more than miscommunication in the first few sentences, but who said later that he was going to marry the Xie family?
