While asking this question, he suddenly raised his fan and tapped Liu Yingying's head lightly.
With this strike, Liu Yingying, who was dizzy, suddenly felt a buzzing sound in her mind. The next moment, she grabbed Wu's arm tightly. At the same time, she quickly grasped the handkerchief with her other hand. Zi pressed her lips tightly, and then with a swish of her whole body, she helped Wu to turn around.
My stomach felt overwhelming.
The suffering of the day we boarded the ship reappeared, and I almost vomited on the spot.
The noble prince Shen Mo opposite: "..."
It is said that when Mrs. Wu saw Liu Yingying like this, she was so anxious that she gathered around Liu Yingying to check on her, asked her for help, and then sent her maids to fetch water.
Seeing this, Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced behind him. The entourage behind him who had been prepared immediately took off the water bag from his waist. Shen Mo took it, took off the spout, and stepped forward to hand it over. When he arrived in front of Liu Yingying, he saw that Liu Yingying lowered her head and did not accept it, so she immediately handed it to Mrs. Wu and said: "Mother Xue——"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, as if to pat Liu Yingying's back to soothe her.
However, at this moment, Wu turned to receive the water bag, and her face came into Shen Mo's eyes clearly.
When Shen Mo saw this unfamiliar face in his eyes, his eyes suddenly tightened violently, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.
"You...who are you?"
Shen Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at Wu in front of him.
Mother Xue's face clearly looked unfamiliar, far from what she remembered.
I was so happy when I saw my cousin's appearance just now that all my eyes were on my cousin. I didn't even notice the people accompanying me. When I saw her supporting my cousin, I subconsciously regarded her as my cousin's nanny.
However, the mother Xue at the moment was clearly not the mother Xue. After Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, his sharp eyes fell firmly on the soft and graceful figure in front of him, and the center of Shen Mo's eyebrows. Jump again——
"You...who are you?"
At this glance, I realized that the figure in front of me was clearly graceful and graceful, which was clearly far from the thin and slender figure of my cousin in my memory.
Just at this time——
"cousin--"
A much more majestic merchant ship was approaching the shore, and a slender figure of snow-white figure on the ship was being slowly disembarked from the ship with the help of slaves.
Shen Mo looked at his cousin in the distance, and then at the cousin in front of him. The hand he was about to pat his "cousin" on the back froze in mid-air.
Chapter 006
Although Shen Mo felt that the scene in front of him was a bit unimaginable, he quickly realized that he had recognized the wrong person.
It's not embarrassing to say the least, but I just feel like my behavior is a little inappropriate.
It's not embarrassing, but it's a little bit.
However, the Shen family is a well-established family and has always been respected by others. The children of the Shen family have a certain kind of innate dignity and pride. Even if they are rude, they will never show it on their faces, let alone be as uneasy as others.
Therefore, I saw that Shen Mo was still straight and straight, with no trace of embarrassment on his face. After reacting, he quickly retracted his hand that was frozen in mid-air, and then he looked calm and looked as usual. He nodded towards Wu and Liu Yingying, and said apologetically: "Ahem, I'm sorry, it turns out that Shen admitted the wrong person abruptly, please forgive me!"
In the past, Shen Moxu would have had the patience to chat with others.
But now, after such an inconvenience, the pick-up was completely delayed. Seeing the cousin on the other end getting off the boat, Shen Mo was so anxious that he had no intention of dealing with others.
After saying this, Liu Yingying hurriedly left the Wu family and her daughter behind and went to greet them without waiting for Liu Yingying to respond.
But perhaps he saw that the "cousin" he had mistakenly recognized had a different temperament. Even though his face was covered with a thick veil, the whole face was covered tightly, and no one could see the inside story, but that unusual She could not hide her figure and temperament, and Shen Mo was certain that this girl must be of good quality, so before leaving, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to take another look at her.
"cousin--"
"Zizhan——"
Just as Shen Mo turned around and took a few steps to meet them, he saw a group of people coming from the ferry. They looked at the light carriage and simply obeyed, but the group was reduced to only four or five people.
The leader was a white figure who was also wearing a veil. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Because his face was covered with a veil, his specific face could not be seen, but his exposed parts could vaguely be seen on his snow-skinned skin and willow eyebrows. Like smoke, with bright eyes and beautiful eyes, it is clear that he is also a person with outstanding temperament and good appearance.
The weather in late February and early March was still slightly cold, and I saw that the other party was wearing a white cross-collar brocade Confucian skirt, and a skirt of the same color. The skirt fell all the way to the ankles, with light orchid patterns embroidered on it. Looking at Fresh and elegant, she is covered with a silk white fur coat. The fur coat has a wide hood that hangs all the way down to the ankles, covering most of the body. As the opponent steps lightly, the fur coat gently sways and outlines the areas where the feet are kicked. A circle of thin ripples appeared, making the whole person more slender and graceful, and his body was as light as a swallow.
Even if you haven't seen the other person's specific appearance, just looking at this graceful silhouette, you can already get a glimpse of his elegance and youthfulness.
This woman is called Su Ziqing. She is fourteen years old. She is accompanied by a mother in her early forties. She is similar in stature to Wu. She is Xue’s mother who she just mistakenly identified as Wu. Su Ziqing is also followed by A maid of thirteen or fourteen.
A few steps away, there was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old following him. The young man was tall and tall, and if he looked closely, he seemed to be slightly taller than Shen Mo.
The man is fair and handsome, with a gentle and elegant appearance. If he looks closely, he looks a lot like Shen Mo. However, unlike Shen Mo's noble and luxurious appearance, the man is wearing a blue bird-colored satin dress with ordinary fabrics. There is no hint of luxury in his hair. Wearing only a white crown, his figure is thin but upright, and his whole body clearly exudes some kind of cold yet gentle aura of scholarly nobility.
Behind him was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old book picker.
If Shen Mo is a descendant of a noble family, then this man is obviously an outstanding young man from a noble family.
This man's name is Su Zizhan, and he and Su Ziqing are brothers and sisters from the same mother. Although the two brothers and sisters have outstanding looks and demeanor, they wear ordinary clothes and look the same as the Liu family.
After Shen Mo saw this person, he immediately stepped forward to meet him, and punched the opponent on the shoulder. However, the opponent had the foresight to sidestep him, and Shen Mo was not annoyed, so he punched him again. , Su Zizhan raised his hand to catch his fist, and after looking him up and down, Fang smiled lightly and said, "Brother Mo has grown taller."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mo raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't call me Brother Mo."
Su Zizhan smiled lightly and couldn't deny it.
The two cousins chatted affectionately, showing their close relationship.
After the two chatted and joked, Shen Mo finally remembered his cousin Su Ziqing from the front, and immediately turned back, smiling but serious and bowing to Su Ziqing: "Cousin, long time no see, do you still remember my cousin? "
While speaking, Shen Mo remembered something and looked at each other again, as if he was afraid of mistaking the person again. After confirming that he had not misidentified the person this time, he felt relieved and said to Su Ziqing again: "Why are you looking at me like this? Why don't you come over and see your cousin right away?"
Shen Mo looked at Su Ziqing with a smile, his movements slightly attentive, completely different from the way he treated the Liu family just now.
The dignified young master of a century-old family had just stopped at the ferry. His noble appearance made everyone afraid to approach him, but now he was looking at the thin and slender little girl with a hint of fawning.
The little girl Su Ziqing's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, as if she was glaring at the frivolous cousin in front of her. However, after a moment, her almond-shaped eyes slightly curved, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes. She bowed to Shen Mo Yingying and said : "I met my cousin."
The etiquette is thoughtful, the posture is graceful, and the appearance is youthful.
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled up to the base of his ears, and he repeatedly raised his hands to support her, vaguely showing infinite doting.
The scene of the three people meeting each other was lively and warm, but it made the Liu family and his entourage, who were left alone and ignored, look awkward, full of embarrassment and comedy, especially in contrast to the third master of the Liu family who had just nodded and bowed in front of the young master of the Shen family. After the Dian Dian style.
Unexpectedly, the young master of the Shen family was not here to welcome the Liu family?
Unexpectedly, this joyful rush turned out to be an unexpected incident and turned into an empty joy?
In other words, there has been no reply from the Shen family at all?
Is it because the reply hasn't arrived yet? Or...still received the invitation but didn't bother to pay attention to it? Maybe I can’t wait any longer?
After all, the Shen family is a powerful family. It is said that the Shen family has disciples all over Dayu. The Shen family in Qingyuan City alone has a total of 20,000 to 30,000 people. For such a large and distinguished family, plus those who have come to seek refuge, Disciples and former officials, the threshold of the Shen family is being trampled every day. Is it possible that the Shen family has never heard of such a remote Liu family?
They stood towards the ferry, but they didn't want to but stood there like a joke.
Wu's face gradually turned pale. The Wu family came from the prince's palace in the capital. Although it was a side branch, after all, their ancestors had a great time in Yin Sheng. Although they are now from a lowly family, Wu's virtues are very good. Her husband's family are all officials in the court and serve the court. , No matter where I go, I am always respected by others. I just feel that in all my years of living, I have never been so embarrassed as at this moment.
As if rushing to beat the autumn wind, Wu felt embarrassed after being ignored. She felt ashamed on her face.
I have spent my whole life here, and it doesn’t matter if I leave, or if I don’t leave.
Just in time, the group in front of them had finished their greetings, and Shen Mo said loudly: "Brother and cousin must have had a hard time traveling all the way. Don't talk about it here. Follow me back home to rest. My wife has been waiting in the house for a long time." He's dead and his neck has grown longer, let's go back home and tell him."
Shen Mo led the two brothers and sisters of the Su family to return. However, when he turned around, he saw the Liu family waiting behind him, and then he remembered that there was another "cousin".
"Oh? So it turns out that the ones my cousin came to pick up today are not my brother and me?"
Su Ziqing had just been on the boat when he saw Shen Mo dancing skillfully with others at the ferry. He had forgotten about her and her brother. Seeing this, he couldn't help but stop and look towards the Liu family from a distance. The group of people looked around, their almond eyes looking around, and finally their eyes fell directly on Liu Yingying.
Their eyes touched.
The two of them are dressed in similar styles, both wearing plain clothes and white fur, both wearing veils on their faces, both showing only one eye, and both are dressed in the style of Jiangnan women.
A slim and delicate one, neither humble nor arrogant.
A curling and graceful girl is neither shy nor shy.
The two looked at each other quietly, with surprise in their eyes.
When Shen Mo heard Fang Ziqing's words, he immediately thought of the urgings in his previous letter in January, including thousands of promises and thousands of oaths. He even did not hesitate to drop the sentence "If my cousin and brother come, they must burn incense and bathe to welcome them." " At this moment, I heard the sarcasm in my cousin's words, and my heart skipped a beat. I immediately stammered and explained: "No, no, no, I came here specifically to pick up my cousin today. It's just a misunderstanding at the moment - "
While speaking, Shen Mo glanced anxiously in the direction of Liu Yingying. The words to draw a line with the Liu family stopped immediately the moment they touched Liu Yingying. After a pause, Shen Mo lowered his voice and leaned towards Su Zi. Qing whispered something next to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziqing's almond-shaped eyes widened again, saying: "You...you even admitted that I was wrong?"
Su Ziqing seemed a little angry, so he turned around and took a few steps back, walking to his brother Su Zizhan behind him. He was so disgusted that he didn't even come together with Shen Mo.
Shen Mo suddenly started sweating profusely, and immediately leaned over to apologize, fearing that his cousin wouldn't believe it, so he had to bring out the Liu family members to testify: "By the way, I just talked to you guys, right? You are -"
Just now, Shen Mo was focused on the important matter of welcoming his brother and cousin, and did not take into account anything else in a hurry. Now after the matter was over, he saw that the Liu family and his entourage were still standing there awkwardly, and finally came to their senses.
It was obvious that he was the one who had just asked, but when his cousin arrived, he said it was the Shen family who came to welcome her?
It is clearly certain.
After sorting out the connection, Shen Mo finally set his sights on Wu and the beautiful figure beside her again, and said in a deep voice: "You are——"
While speaking, Shen Mo's eyes looked around the Liu family, and finally settled on Liu Xianghuai, the third master of the Liu family, and looked at him intently.
Almost the moment Shen Mo cast his eyes on the third master, he saw that the third master was sweating profusely and immediately replied anxiously: "Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding, but it's just a misunderstanding. ...We actually went to visit the Shen family. We sent greeting cards to the Shen family at about 1:00 in the morning. Just now...just now we thought that the young master-in-law was here to greet us, so we were so happy that we couldn't find out more about it. This is why the young master misunderstood, it was our negligence, it was all our negligence——"
The third master immediately replied in a hurry.
There was embarrassment after the oolong incident on his face, but more of it was a feeling of panic, as if he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.
He spoke quickly, fearing that Shen Mo and his party would leave them alone.
Sure enough, after Shen Mo heard this, he immediately looked at Su Ziqing, as if to say, "I'll just say it." After a moment, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of Liu Yingying. Fang smiled lightly and said, "It turns out. It's a guest coming to the door, and Shen is a little distant to greet him."
After a pause, he added, "Whose distinguished guest are you?"
When Wu heard this, she was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the third master quickly snatched her up and answered: "We are from Yuncheng. My surname is Liu, and this is my sister-in-law."
"Yuncheng? Liu family?"
After Shen Mo thought about it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had never heard of it before.
The third master was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his head, sweating profusely and said: "Oh, it's not the Liu family, it's actually our Wu family, ah, no, it's... it's my sister-in-law's Wu family, it's her Wu family, my sister-in-law's. When my biological mother, the old lady of the Wu family, was in the capital, she was a direct cousin with the old lady in the second room of the Earl's Mansion, so she and Mrs. Shen often walked around in the Earl's Mansion. Now we are going to Shandong, and we happen to be passing through this place——"
The third master was a little nervous and a little excited. When he was excited, he kept talking and garbled his words. After finishing this long speech in one breath, Shen Mo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He seemed to understand but not understand. After all, the relationship was too far. , which requires a lengthy review.
From so far away, even the two brothers and sisters of the Su family behind him couldn't help but look sideways at him.
The two of them looked at the third master Liu Xianghuai who was blushing with excitement, paused, and then their eyes fell on Liu Yingying opposite.
Maybe it was because they were similar in age, or maybe it was because Liu Yingying was so well-covered that only one eye was exposed. However, even though only one eye was exposed, those enchanting, clear and graceful peach blossom eyes were particularly alluring, which made Su Ziqing angry. I couldn't help but look at it again and again.
