"How long has it been? How come my father and mother haven't come back yet!" Xia Chengyi walked back and forth in the hall, complaining angrily to the three of them, but found his brother sitting on his seat, secretly eating fruit. He got even angrier, "Why are you sitting down again? Are you waiting for people like you? Aren't Haitang and the others standing? How can you be such a delicate man like you!"
Begonia on the side felt very funny when she heard Xia Chengyi's scolding, and almost laughed out loud. However, she felt that it was too rude and tried to hold it back, but she could not hide her smile.
When Xia Chengxuan heard his sister scolding him like this, he didn't dare to refute it. He also saw Haitang's smiling face, so he had to stand up from his seat, wipe off the fruit stains and laugh at the two of them.
"Hey, Yuanchen, I'm asking you, please answer me honestly!" Xia Chengxuan moved closer to Mei Yuanchen and whispered.
Mei Yuanchen looked at Xia Chengyi and whispered, "What's the matter? Just tell me." When Xia Chengyi wasn't paying attention, he leaned on his shoulder and asked, "You have been standing for so long, are your feet tired?"
It was already noon, Mei Yuanchen had been standing here for an hour and a half, his feet were sore and numb, and he secretly replied in Xia Chengxuan's ear, "Of course you are tired, but it's not easy to sit down. "
Hearing Mei Yuanchen's answer, Xia Chengxuan was very happy. He walked up to Xia Chengyi and said proudly, "I told you that I am the only one who is tired. It turns out that Yuanchen is also tired, but I don't believe that you are not tired!"
Mei Yuanchen didn't know that Xia Chengxuan would betray him in a blink of an eye. When he saw Xia Chengyi looking at him, he felt embarrassed and hurriedly lowered his head.
Xia Chengyi glanced at each of the three people, then walked to the seat and sat down. He rubbed his legs heavily, took a piece of pastry from the food box and ate it. While chewing, he said, "I'm exhausted, my legs are so sore." ! I’ve been hungry for a long time and my stomach is empty!”
Xia Chengxuan and Mei Yuanchen looked at each other with confused expressions.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Come and sit down too, but I don't know how long we have to wait," Xia Chengyi said to the three of them.
At this moment, Mei Yuanchen knew why Xia Chengxuan always felt weak when seeing Xia Chengyu and tried to hide.
Xia Chengyi seems to have a good impression of Haitang. He is not at all aggressive towards Xia Chengxuan and Mei Yuanchen, but looks like close sisters.
The four of them sat chatting in pairs, which was quite enjoyable. Every time Xia Chengxuan laughed, Xia Chengyi always scolded him, but it was only a moment before he realized it.
"They are really four filial masters," Chu Zhong's laughter came from the courtyard.
"Grandpa Chu!" Xia Chengyi almost jumped up from his seat, ran to Chu Zhong's side, and asked excitedly, "Are your father and mother back?"
"Haha, princess, the emperor is very interested today and has left several princes in the palace. The prince just sent people here and asked you to go and have fun on your own. Just go back to the house early." Chu Zhong laughed happily. Said.
"Ha, Yuanchen, let's go! There are a few interesting places to go, but we haven't been able to get around to them!" As he said this, he pulled Mei Yuanchen's sleeves, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Chengyi, Haitang, but... Want to go together?"
Xia Chengyi looked disdainful and spat, "In the beginning, I just called Yuanchen, but now you call us again, how can you be sincere! If you don't want to bring trouble, I went shopping with Haitang on Fang Street. Haitang, don't pay attention to them." After finishing speaking , pulling Haitang away happily.
"Haha, they're leaving! Let's go too! Hey, how about we go to the pagoda first? It's a good luck to climb up to see the distance during the New Year. It's only two steps away from Ruiyun Tower and Qingshui Lake. After climbing the pagoda, we can go to Ruiyun Tower to have some food and wine, and then walk around the Qingshui Lake embankment when we are full. It’s beautiful to think about!” It’s really limited, where can I have any opinions? Free Xia Chengxuan pulled him away.
The streets are busy with traffic and bustling.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xia Chengxuan came out of the house like a wild horse, a trapped beast out of its cage. There was wind under his feet as he walked. Mei Yuanchen chased after him. Before he could avoid it, he bumped into a Taoist priest in green. The Taoist priest He waved his hand to indicate. Mei Yuanchen said "I'm sorry" and continued to walk to Xia Chengxuan. "Yuanchen, how busy is the capital this year?" Xia Chengxuan asked Mei Yuanchen. Xia Chengxuan naturally knew that the royal guards were secretly protecting the two of them, so he walked along without caring. "Oh, it's lively." Mei Yuanchen thought about how his father and mother took him shopping when he first arrived in the capital. How could he not feel sad in this scene, so he answered with weakness.
"Look there, high up there is the pagoda, walk faster!" Xia Chengxuan raised his finger and pointed, waving to Mei Yuanchen.
The merchants and footmen are shouting, the rivers and lakes are full of entertainers and jugglers, the shops are lined up in rows, and the pedestrians are walking shoulder to shoulder. This is the capital of Dahua.
"Yuanchen, come on!" Xia Chengxuan had already climbed the last step, and reached out to pull Mei Yuanchen.
"The scenery is so majestic! The scenery is so beautiful!" The two of them held on to the iron railing and admired what they saw. Xia Chengxuan was rarely quiet. He looked at the bottom of the tower and sighed for a long time. Mei Yuanchen actually seemed to see a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Brother, my money has really been stolen. How could I deliberately rely on you for this meal?" I saw a Taoist priest in green being held by the collar by the vendor, arguing bitterly. After Mei and Xia came down from the Pagoda, they felt hungry and headed to Ruiyun Tower. Just as I was about to arrive at the restaurant, this scene appeared. Mei Yuanchen saw that it was the young Taoist priest he had collided with earlier. He wanted to help, so he asked Xia Chengxuan, "Do you still have some money?"
Xia Chengxuan smiled and said, "Since I brought you out to play, how can there be no money? How much do you want?"
Mei Yuanchen scratched his head and said, "I don't know either." Then he approached the hawker and asked, "How much money does this Taoist priest owe you?"
Seeing that Xia and Mei were dressed luxuriously, the vendor did not dare to be rude and said with a smile, "You are short of thirty copper yuan and you have to pay for him? That's really tight!"
Xia Chengxuan was listening to the answer. Without waiting for Mei Yuanchen to ask, he threw a piece of silver on the table and said to Mei Yuanchen, "Let's go! I'm hungry!"
Mei Yuanchen nodded slightly to the Taoist priest and followed Xia Chengxuan to Ruiyun Tower. The green-clothed Taoist priest looked at the direction Mei Yuanchen left, slowly shook his head and said, "It's not fate that we didn't meet. Oh, what a bad fate! My disciple!"
Who is this Taoist priest if he is not Qingxuan?
