Qinghe Pastoral

The Dayu Dynasty had a vast territory, with a capital of 24 continents. In addition to the capital where the emperor was located, Huazhou, Yonganzhou, Dongzhou, and Qingpuzhou were the four most affluent continents in the Dayu Dynasty.

Unlike Yong'an Continent, Huazhou is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with developed maritime trade, numerous businessmen coming and going, and extremely prosperous.

After seven days of exhausting boats and cars, they finally arrived in Huazhou as planned.When the carriage stopped in front of Xiao's house, Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never traveled far, and the journey was really hard.

The Xiao family is a big family, and the Xiao mansion is also extremely grand. Mr. Xiao's [-]th birthday was held with great fanfare. In the past two days, there was an endless stream of guests, and the Xiao mansion was naturally extremely lively.

The guard at the gate recognized Ji Ruixiu, and he had received Xiao Jue's orders earlier, so he immediately took them to the prepared guest room to rest, and then went to answer Xiao Jue.

The closer it is to Huazhou, the warmer the weather is. Unlike Qinghe Village's dry and cold winter, Huazhou's winter is warm and humid.Now in the room, Lin Mu felt even hotter, so he took off the big red wolf cloak.

The house is prepared with Huazhou's famous snacks and snacks. They basically spent the last two days in the wild, eating and sleeping well, and now they just want to have a hot meal and have a good rest.

In less than half a cup of tea, Xiao Jue hurried over with a food box.

"Thinking that you should be here in two days, has the journey been hard?"

Ji Ruixiu is physically strong, so he is not worried, only Lin Mu is traveling far for the first time, but it seems that Ji Ruixiu has taken good care of him, except for a little tired face, he is still in good spirits.

"Fortunately, you won't be free these two days, right?"

Xiao Jue's face showed a little tiredness, also, the Xiao family must have been visiting with nobles from all walks of life in the past two days, and as the first son of the Xiao family, he must be busy.

"It's true that people are coming and going, come and come, you must be hungry, come and eat while it's hot."

There are several dishes in Xiao Jue's food box, all of which are Huazhou's specialties. Lin Muzi can't forget the seafood that day, and he was delighted to see it.

They haven't eaten a hot meal in two days, and the taste and appearance of Xiao's food are top-notch. The two have a great appetite, and this meal is very satisfying.The three chatted for a while, and Ji Ruixiu took Lin Mu to greet Master Xiao.

Mr. Xiao's single name is Jing. When he was young, he used to travel all over the world, and he was very skillful. The Xiao family also became famous in the Dayu Dynasty in Mr. Xiao's generation.Mr. Xiao loves bamboo. Not only did he plant a lot of bamboo in his yard, he even called his place "Tingzhuju".

Ji Ruixiu introduced Lin Mu to Mr. Xiao, and Lin Mu greeted him respectfully. Lin Mu thought he would be a majestic old man with a beard, but he didn't expect that Mr. Xiao was very energetic and didn't look old.

The old man Xiao looked at Lin Mu in a daze, and after a while he sighed: "Young master Mu is really elegant, and Ruixiu and Ruixiu are a perfect match." Finally, he took the best suet jade pendant on his waist Come down and give it to Lin Mu.Lin Mu was born in a farming family, but he also knew that the jade pendant was precious, so he couldn't accept it.

"This is my old man's kindness. Ji Xiaozi has saved my son's life, and it is all my blessing. Young Master Mu doesn't have to shirk it."

Lin Mu glanced at Ji Ruixiu with some embarrassment, seeing Ji Ruixiu nodded, he had to take it respectfully, and thanked him again and again.The mutton fat jade is warm and moist to the touch, and the old man wears it with him, so it must be of great value, this meeting gift is a bit more expensive after all.

"Today when I saw Young Master Mu, I realized that what Zi Ye said was correct. You and Jun Yan are indeed [-]% similar. No wonder Zi Yi often mentions it. If Jun Yan is here, I'm afraid you two will be surprised."

This is the second time someone has mentioned this person, and Lin Mu couldn't help wondering, is there really someone who has nothing to do with him in this world, but is so similar to him?

"Is it true? What kind of person is he?"

When meeting Yu Ziyi for the first time, although Lin Mu was a little puzzled, he didn't ask in detail. When it was brought up again today, he wanted to ask after all.

Xiao Jue was away all year round, and only met him two or three times, so he didn't know much about his character, but he looked alike. His father seemed to appreciate his cousin as a close friend, and he also seemed to understand him a little bit.

Mr. Xiao thought for a moment, and then he said: "Bai Junyan, Ziyi's close friend, is a few years older than Ruixiu. He is from Dongzhou. Dongzhou has beauties and famous officials. His appearance is also top-notch. If I didn't know He is already alone, so he will doubt your relationship." Mr. Xiao said it lightly, like a joke, but it is enough to see how similar the two of them are.

It's no secret that Lin Mu's background was in Qinghe Village, Yu Ziyi and the others knew it, and they also knew it from Mr. Xiao's tone.

"That's really pitiful. If there is a chance, the kid also wants to meet this senior."

Although Lin Mu was saved from homelessness because of Lin Sheng and his wife, and the couple treated him like a parent and child, he still often wondered where he came from, what his past was like, and whether there is still love in this world like Lin Sheng and his wife. His relatives look forward to his return?Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After chatting with Mr. Xiao for a while, the two left.Xiao Jue also needed to continue entertaining guests, so he told the two that there were servants outside the door, and they could find them if they needed anything.

The servants of Xiao's family took the two of them back to the residence, and then withdrew, waiting for orders outside the house.

After returning from Mr. Xiao's place, Lin Mu's face was bright, and Ji Ruixiu saw it, and there was nothing he could do except feel distressed.

He had suspected it, and wanted to meet Yu Ziyi's old friend, but he heard from Yu Ziyi that the last time they met was two years ago.His friend didn't stay in Dongzhou often, but wandered around. The last time he received a letter was half a year ago, so Ji Ruixiu couldn't find it.

Ji Ruixiu hugged Lin Mu, let him sit on his lap, hugged him and comforted him softly.Lin Mu was indeed lost, but he couldn't recall the memory of the past, even a little bit, although he thought about it, there was no way to check it.In the past, he only thought about the death of his relatives while fleeing famine. No, Bai Junyan, who was mentioned many times, made him think too much.

"I worshiped before?☆(???ω??)??*The moon doesn't sleep, I don't sleep, brother Ziyi, if that person has whereabouts, he also knows you are in the world, if he doubts you, you can meet each other of."

Lin Mu leaned his head on Ji Ruixiu's arms, listening to his beating heartbeat and soft words, the loss in his heart gradually diminished.It is exactly as Ji Ruixiu said, no matter whether he is related to that elder or not, if there is a destiny, we will meet each other.

"Well, no matter what, I still have you and my parents. If there are relatives in this world, I will be happy to see them. If not, I should live the rest of my life well."

Lin Mu is a transparent person. Hearing what he said, Ji Ruixiu didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he talked to Lin Mu about the fun places and delicious food in Huazhou. It's almost gone too.

The journey was exhausting, and there was no rush to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Huazhou. Ji Ruixiu had already thought about it. After Mr. Xiao's birthday, he would take Lin Mu to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Huazhou, and enjoy it all the way back.

On the day of Mr. Xiao's [-]th birthday, people came and went from the Xiao family. Mr. Xiao only has one elder brother who is a direct relative. He is a second-rank official in Kyoto. To many dignitaries.There were also Ji's father's colleagues back then, so Ji Ruixiu took Lin Mu to greet him.

The feast didn't end until midnight, and Ji Ruixiu drank a lot of wine during the banquet, but he was still very sober.On the contrary, Lin Mu, a few elders couldn't refuse the wine, and they were a little tipsy.Ji Ruixiu helped to wash up again, and the two of them took a rest.
