"Miss Shu...Sister Chan, why are you here?"

Geng Xingshuang was halfway through shouting when she saw Shu Chan pouting. She immediately reacted and quickly changed her title.

"Last time at Zhenbao Pavilion, I heard Second Grandma Yang mentioning your birthday. I always remembered it, so... I brought this to celebrate your birthday."

Shu Chan pointed to the box in her arms.

"Does Mrs. Shu know?"

"I know, I know, grandma is following me! Sister Shuang, take a look at the gift I gave you and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll go back and change it."

Geng Xingshuang opened the box at Shu Chan's urging.

"Is this a wooden carriage?" Zhu Yan had already looked over curiously. What he saw in the box was a small and exquisite wooden carriage. The carriage started from the saddle on the back of the horse that pulled the carriage to the green cover and red tassels on the carriage. It is extremely exquisite, and there is a driver sitting on the shaft of the carriage, raising his whip. It seems that the horse will be able to raise its hooves and step forward in the next moment, and the carriage will be able to run smoothly.

Geng Xingshuang took the wooden carriage out of the box. Shu Chan stretched out her hand, but she didn't know where it moved. The horse's hooves suddenly started to move, and the carriage actually started to move smoothly on the Eight Immortals Table.

"This is Jikuo wood carving, it can also speed up!"

After saying that, Shu Chan stretched out her hand again, and now Geng Xingshuang could see clearly. She pressed the horse's tail, and the carriage went faster.

"Sister Shuang, do you like it?"

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "I like it very much!"

"Sister Shuang, there are several mechanisms on this carriage, but I won't tell you. You can find them yourself. I found them myself at the time. It's really interesting!"

The arrival of Shu Chan dispelled the slightly cold atmosphere in the room due to Geng Xingbing, and everyone became lively again.

On the other side, Geng Xingbing was forced out of Qingcui Courtyard by Geng Xingshuang's words. Although he was so angry that he couldn't help pinching his fingers, in front of the two nannies and four maids, Geng Xingbing did not show any obvious strange look. He helplessly muttered to himself: "Let me just say that the sixth sister is getting weirder and weirder now. Ever since she opened that shop, the friends she has made have become worse than the last one. The only one she has made is Miss Zhu, because she follows me." I met my mother when she went to a banquet."

"Auntie, it is Miss Six who is rude today. As for Miss Tao, who is she? Auntie condescended to talk to her, but she said crazy things. The same goes for Miss Six. Just for a bite of food, she will invite anyone to her house. Come."

Pingshan pouted and said, she, Chu Yin, and the two nuns followed into the house. The other two maids were outside, not knowing what happened.

"Forget it, let's not talk anymore." Geng Xingbing said with some waning interest.

Mrs. Yao had already heard from the maid that Geng Xingbing was back. She waited in the room for a long time, but did not see her daughter coming to say hello. She also heard that she had gone to Qingcui Courtyard. Although she was angry, she didn't seem to feel anything else except angry.

I don’t know why, but in the past six months or so, their mother-daughter relationship has felt like it’s getting further and further apart.

Until now when Geng Xingbing came, Yao just said lightly, "Sister Bing is back!"

Geng Xingbing had nothing to say to Mr. Yao. The mother and daughter said a few words in a nonchalant manner. Geng Xingbing said: "Mom, I went out to meet my eldest brother. Although he works for the prince, there are differences between the inside and outside. I am also very different." I haven’t seen my eldest brother for a long time.”

Yao nodded, "Go!"

Seeing Geng Xingbing's back slowly leaving with the support of two maids, Yao suddenly felt strange and dazzling.

She suddenly missed her eldest daughter, "I don't know when Sister Yue will come back?" she murmured. "Don't worry, madam. Didn't I say that my uncle's term of office expired this year for three years? Then he must return to Ningdu to report on his duties."

Yan's mother said that since Geng Cheng's death, Yao suddenly felt that what Yan's mother had concealed about Geng Xingshui's identity was no longer a big deal, so she let people stay by her side again, at least she had someone to talk to.

Geng Xingbing arrived at the courtyard of Geng Shu Tower in the outer courtyard. He only brought Chu Yin into the house, while the others stayed outside the courtyard. Pingshan looked at Chu Yin's back and curled his lips.

Geng Shulou just returned home and saw her, his face darkened.

"What are you doing back here?"

"What are you talking about, brother? This is my natal family, why can't I come back?" Geng Xingbing asked calmly.

"Is this your natal family?" Geng Shulou said sarcastically.

"What did the elder brother want to say? What did the elder brother say originally? As a result, Zhu Ni has got what he wanted now, but our prince has not given up yet. He is still waiting for me to help him. The real granddaughter of Duke Zhenguo has been admitted to the mansion!"

Geng Xingbing looked at Geng Shu's impatience on the floor, smiled slightly and said: "Brother, now Zhu Ni has got what she wanted, but what she promised us has not been completed, so..."

"That's the deal between you and her." Geng Shulou interrupted her.

"I originally promised the prince to find a way to get Tao's daughter into the palace. Brother, you said it. If she enters the palace and her identity is exposed in the future, I will no longer have a place in the palace, so I changed it. Besides, how could Zhu Ni and I get in touch without my elder brother’s planning and contribution? Brother, in fact, I know that you were unhappy because you were unable to attend Qiuwei, so you did this, but since Once you do it, you can’t start it off but finish it off, otherwise… you’ll suffer the consequences!”

Geng Xingbing glanced at Geng Shulou one last time and stood up, "Sister, that's all. Brother, you can handle it yourself."

In fact, Geng Xingbing spoke coolly and left simply, but she didn't feel confident in her heart.

She couldn't see her elder brother more and more clearly.

Perhaps not being able to enter the examination room that autumn was a big blow to him. Now Geng Shulou was not only uncertain, but his thoughts were so deep that she couldn't see any light.

Geng Shulou looked at Geng Xingbing's leaving figure, thought for a moment, stood up, stood by the window for a while, and then walked out.

"Young Master, are you going out?" Fang Zhu asked.

Geng Shulou nodded, "Let's go."

Geng Shulou did not use the Bofu carriage, but asked Fang Zhu to hire a carriage. Fang Zhu drove the carriage. The carriage seemed to be aimlessly wandering around the streets and alleys of Ningdu City, slowly and leisurely.

After walking around for nearly an hour, the carriage entered an alley. The alley was very deep and narrow. However, the houses on both sides of the alley, even if they could be seen to be in the most remote corners of the house, were all green tiles, red roofs, and cornices. , obviously the people living inside are rich and noble.

Fang Zhu stepped forward and gently knocked on a small door. Although the door was not very narrow, it was really remote and had a very similar color and concave and convex to the wall. When he first saw it, he thought it was a complete wall.

The door opened quickly. The doorkeeper probably knew Fang Zhu. When he saw Geng Shulou standing behind Fang Zhu, he cupped his hands towards him and said, "Master Geng, please come in quickly."

After Geng Shulou and Fang Zhu entered, the door merged with the wall again.
