Chapter 234 Long time no see

Back at Qingshui Lane, Xiao Ren took a shower, changed his clothes, and cleaned himself up.

He arrived at the study and saw Zhou Zheng standing in front of the Zhenbao Pavilion, holding a blue and white porcelain altar in his hand.

"Don't touch!"

Xiao Ren shouted loudly, Zhou Zheng was shocked, and his hand relaxed. The blue and white porcelain jar shook in his hand a few times. The moment it was about to fall to the ground, it was snatched by Xiao Ren.

"What...what happened?" Zhou Zheng was still shocked and looked at Xiao Ren in surprise.

Xiao Ren had a calm face, holding the blue and white porcelain jar with one hand, and taking out a snow-white silk hand with the other hand, and carefully wiped the blue and white porcelain jar with one hand.

Zhou Zheng couldn't help it anymore and said with a smile: "The people in your mansion are too lazy. Look, the jar is covered with dust."

"I don't let them touch it. No one except me is allowed to touch it." Xiao Ren said, putting the blue and white porcelain altar back on the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhou Zheng opened his mouth and closed it again. No one allowed to touch the porcelain jar, and that even he could not touch it. What else should he say, what should he say?

"This jar is heavy, what is inside?" Zhou Zheng still couldn't help but feel curious.

"Don't worry." Xiao Ren glared at him after saying that, and Zhou Zheng was completely defeated.

"Okay, okay, I won't be able to stop asking, no wonder..."

"No wonder what?" Xiao Ren still stared at him.

Zhou Zheng embarrassedly: "No wonder Yueyang and Jiang Xiujie said you have grown up."

Xiao Ren was puzzled. Does this have anything to do with whether he grew up or not?

Besides, he has grown up long ago.

At this time, Yue Yang and Jiang Xiujie, who were going home to change their clothes first, also came. When they entered the door, they happened to meet the eunuch who came to deliver the banquet in the royal palace.

The two of them didn't even enter the two doors, so they sent their servants to call their friends. So half an hour later, the Xiao family's house in Qingshui Lane became lively.

After drinking and eating, some people threw pots and some bragging, they played until dark. The servants in Qingshui Lane were commonplace and cleaned up their guest rooms early. So even Jiang Xiujie, who lived next door, did not go home. The guest rooms were not enough, and some people ate the floor. In short, none of them went home, along with the servants they brought with them.

The next day, when Zhou Zheng opened his eyes, he said that he would welcome Xiao Ren and the others today.

Zhou Zheng treats guests more than just drinking. He booked the famous Fengyu Building in Xi'an City and invited five or six Qing Gongwen as his accompanying him. Everyone played in Fengyu Building for a day, but at night, they didn't go back to their homes. They all ran to Xiao Ren's house for a night.

On the third day, Xiao Ren got up before dawn and tiptoed out of the room. He had just ordered Xiao Lizi to lead Zhuifeng outside the mansion to wait, but Jiang Xiujie jumped out like a ghost: "Riding a horse, out of the city to hunt!"

At this time, several more people ran out in their clothes without even having time to put on their shoes, shouting, "Everyone is up, they are all out of the city to hunt!"

Zhou Zheng suggested: "There is a forest not far from Ci'an Village. I have someone visit it. It's best to hunt in that place."

Ci'an Village is the farm where Princess Yining adopted orphans. Princess Yining was once named Ci'an layman, so the farm was named Ci'an Village.

Xiao Ren was already covered in black lines. When he heard Zhou Zheng’s proposal, his face, like the cold winter lunar month, gradually became warmer.

"Since you are going there, why not call Yining." Xiao Ren said.

"No, no, Yining had already gone a few days ago... Miss Chen also went..." Zhou Zheng said this, covering his mouth with his sleeve and yawned. In order not to let Xiaoqi escape, he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Well, he already knew the origin of the blue and white porcelain jar. Jiang Xiujie told him that Jiang Xiujie winked at the time when he said it, and it was mysterious.

It was almost noon when we arrived at Ci'an Village. As soon as we entered the village, we saw a group of five or six-year-old children chasing and fighting. Seeing a stranger coming from the village, the children stopped and looked over with their necks curiously.

At this time, an old woman walked out of it and asked the children to go back for dinner in a rough voice. A follower came over and said to the old woman, "The third young master and the seventh young master are here, hurry up and go and send it all over."

The old lady said oh, and blessed everyone, and rushed in with the children.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "What's the story? The people here are very busy every day. Let's go in by ourselves."

There is a yard in the village, with seven or eight large tables in the courtyard, each table surrounded by more than a dozen children. The food has not been brought over yet. Some of the children are playing with chopsticks, some are playing with them, and the small ones who just played in the village are also inside.

Xiao Ren had only been to Ci'anzhuang once, and there were not so many children at that time. He looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old children and said to Zhou Zheng: "These are also children?"

Zhou Zheng said: "Of course it's a child."

Xiao Ren complained in his heart that Chen Tong was younger than them, but he came to take care of them every now and then.

At this time, a child shouted, "Little sister is here!"

I saw a girl about seven or eight years old running into the yard panting, tilting her head to look at the group of people standing in the yard. Finally, she recognized Zhou Zheng.

"Hello, the third young master."

Zhou Zheng smiled: "Where is the princess and Miss Shen?"

"The princess heard that the third young master is here, but she didn't see you, so she asked me to come here to see you. You are indeed here." The little girl said with a smile.

Zhou Zheng said: "We're over now."

The little sister agreed and ran away.

Looking at the little sister's back, Zhou Zheng smiled and said to Xiao Ren: "That's the person next to Miss Chen."

Xiao Ren frowned: "She finally wants to let Fangfei off?"

Of course, Xiao Ren was wrong. After a moment, he saw Fangfei who was quietly making faces at him, and Chen Tong who was with Fangfei.

If it weren't for Fang Fei standing next to her, Xiao Ren would almost not recognize Chen Tong.

Chen Tong's hair had been left, and she was combed into a little girl's double spiral bun, and two crepe-shaped flowers the size of a fingernail were inserted into each. She also grew taller. Xiao Ren remembered that when she saw her last time, she was about the same height as Fangfei, and now she was half a head taller than Fangfei. From a distance, she looked like a little girl.

Xiao Ren was stunned, his heart was inexplicably empty, as if he had missed something important...

"Xiao Ren, it's been a long time since we met." Chen Tong smiled. When she smiled, she was still the same as before, her big eyes narrowed slightly, like two crescent moons.

Xiao Ren smiled and didn't say anything until everyone went to the dining room to have dinner together. He walked behind and said to Chen Tong, who was also walking behind, "I came back the day before yesterday. I've been too busy these two days."

Chen Tong smiled and said, "I thought you would be back in a few days."

A few days ago, she received a letter from Xiao Ren, which said that she would come back soon, and Chen Tong thought it would be later.

"Well, I haven't returned to Xi'an for a long time, so I've come back early." Xiao Ren whispered.
