Chapter 304 Returning home
First her senior sister came up the stone steps.
Later, she followed her senior sister's order and picked up her brother Xiao Zhengze halfway up the stone steps.
And now-
"I thought it was similar to our Nanzi. They're both in the mountains, so why aren't there any interesting poisonous creatures?"
Anilan kneaded the half-dead little snake in her hand with a look of disgust. It tried several times but it didn't open its mouth to bite her. It was too docile.
"No, it's fine."
Anilan threw it away casually, and when she looked up, she saw Lou Xiao looking at her in confusion. She wiped her hands on her sleeves.
"what happened?"
Lou Xiao shook her head, "It's okay, let's go."
"Okay, okay! Where are we going?"
Anilan's face was flushed with excitement, "Let's go explore the martial arts world! Which sect should we go to first?"
Lou Xiao turned his head away, feeling a little guilty, "Let's go to the capital first."
"The capital? What's fun in the capital? They're all people from the imperial court."
Lou Xiao coaxed her, "The capital is the most prosperous city with many talented people. Who in the world doesn't want to go and take a look?
If you don’t like it, just go somewhere else after you’re done playing.”
Anilan thought for a moment and came over to ask her, "Are there a lot of good-looking men and a lot of delicious food?"
“Not only that, there are also many foreign tribes in the Northern Desert doing business. They sell everything.
Don't you want to go and see if they will sell Beimo's poison?"
The North Desert is too far from Nanzi, and no one would transport things from the North Desert there. Anilan was immediately interested.
"An alien race? The same as our Nanzi?"
Not quite the same.
Lou Xiao didn't say anything, but just vaguely said, "You'll know when you go and take a look."
In this way, Anilan was coaxed by Lou Xiao all the way to the capital.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Lou Xiao saw a familiar figure. It seemed that the people from the Zhenguo Mansion had been waiting here for many days.
As soon as he saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over to greet her.
"My lord, you are back."
Anilan, who was surprised by the densely packed shops and wide avenues of the capital, suddenly came to his senses.
grown ups?
Lou Xiao was stared at by Anilan, and pretended to be calm and said, "Well, let's go back home."
go home?
Anilan felt that he had learned Chinese well, and the word "huifu" was not something that ordinary people could say.
Plus the man next to him looked so humble,
"Are you an official?" Anilan asked in disbelief, as if she had betrayed him.
At this point, Lou Xiao patted his head and admitted, "My family gave me a sinecure just to keep up appearances."
Anilan believed it without understanding it at all, and that was right! She didn't look like someone who could be an official.
A sinecure is just a minor position that does not do anything useful, right?
Anilan got on the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, opened the curtains and looked out.
Occasionally, there would be people who were familiar with carriages and look at Anilan curiously. The person sitting in the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion didn't look like the Duke of Zhenguo?
Her skin was slightly dark, her hair was covered with silver ornaments, and her exposed forearms were also covered with various silver bracelets and colorful stone beads.
The girl had a curious look on her face. When she saw someone looking at her, she looked back openly, smiling with all eight teeth showing.
The carriage slowly drove past a teahouse, and a servant beside a tall man reported in a low voice,
"Your Highness, she's back. The carriage from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion just happened to be passing this street."
Xiao Zhengdu's body stiffened, and he said hatefully, "Come back if she wants, and tell me what to say!"
The attendant glanced at the window and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Xiao Zhengdu pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea from the cup. He endured the burn on his tongue but refused to lose his composure.
With pointed ears, I listened to the carriage outside the window.
Unfortunately, mixed with all kinds of hawking sounds and the ups and downs of the storytellers in the teahouse,
He also only heard the shallow sound of horse hooves.
Slowly, step by step, getting farther and farther away.
The servant whispered, "Your Majesty, so many people are looking at her..."
"Who wouldn't want to look at her if she looked like that?" Xiao Zhengdu gritted his teeth and tried to hold it back, but he couldn't help it.
He stood up with a bang, took a few big steps to the window and stuck his head out to look.
Only the rear end of the carriage was visible, and he could vaguely see half of the girl's body sticking out of the window.
Is that Lou Xiao? Why is she tanned?
The girl in the carriage looked around, and Xiao Zhengdu realized that she was about to turn her head, and a smile appeared on his face.
The idiot wanted her to see him.
But when the girl turned around, Xiao Zhengdu froze on the spot, his face quickly turned dark, and he closed the window with a "click".
The waiter was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Inside the carriage, Lou Xiao sat upright with a bowl of dim sum in one hand, feeling that the food in the capital was more to his taste.
Anilan didn't know what she saw, so she leaned out further. Lou Xiao grabbed her clothes and warned her,
"Be careful not to fall out. What did you see that made you so excited?"
Anilan turned back to the carriage with a bang, and said with shining eyes,
"I just saw a man who is so handsome! And he looks very strong! I want him!"
He was about to jump off the carriage, but Lou Xiao grabbed him tightly.
"We are in the capital, and we will meet sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lou Xiao doesn't want her to go out and cause trouble without knowing anything. The capital is not Nanzi, you can't get anything done by just giving a flower to someone you like.
Especially in the capital, if she was from a noble family, if she tried to provoke a man with Nanzi's ideas and style, she would probably be severely punished.
Anilan couldn't struggle and turned back angrily.
"Let go! At worst I'll give it to you when I'm done!"
Lou Xiao held his forehead with his hand, "This is not the way to do it..."
Let's go back to the mansion and settle down first. If you really like it, you can look for it next time."
Anilan thought about it and realized that it was not worth it if he had to spend his own money to find a place to live.
So Anilan stretched his head out again to note the location and come back to look for it later.
Seeing Anilan calm down, Lou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you miss your Qizhi? Is he better looking than him?"
At this point, Anilan pulled her aside and thanked her, "You're right! There are really many good men in the Central Plains. I met a man I like on my first day in Beijing, and I don't know how many more there will be in the future!"
She has already begun to fantasize about her wonderful life in the future!
Lou Xiao's face was full of black lines, "What's the big deal? How good is it?"
Anilan gestured with both hands, "He is this tall—his hair is thick and dense, his eyebrows are thick and his nose is high. Isn't this good-looking?"
Lou Xiao was indifferent. Aren’t they all like this?
Seeing that she was not flattering, Anilan thought that she did not understand. Just as he was about to explain in detail, the carriage stopped and the servant's voice came in from outside the door.
"Sir, we have arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Lou Hong lifted the carriage curtain with one hand and held out his hand to invite her to get out of the carriage, "Welcome the Duke of Zhenguo back to the mansion."
Anilan first saw Lou Hong's eyes light up again, then heard what he said, and slowly turned to look at Lou Xiao.
What what public?
