Chapter 117 Isn’t that presumptuous?
"Husband, let's go back and entertain the guests."

Du Yunhe is not the daughter of Xiaojiabiyu. Guan Yuansheng chose her not only because of her good family background, but also because of her abilities.

When she returned to Guan Mansion, she did not choose to wait in the wedding room. Instead, she stood with Guan Yuansheng, smiling softly and greeting the guests. She advanced and retreated in a measured manner, dignified and generous, and was not shy at all even if she was teased. This kind of temper made her even more embarrassed. It is easy to make these official ladies feel good about each other, and they quickly get along with each other, chatting and laughing as if they have been best friends for many years.

Guan Yuansheng also kept introducing Du Yunhe.

"This is Mrs. Bo'an Hou." The two came to Bai, and Guan Yuansheng toasted to Bai: "The gift that Madam chose for me and my wife is really valuable. The jadeite is of excellent color as you wish. Madam is interested."

Everyone in the capital knew that Guan Yuansheng liked jade. Naturally, Bai knew that he was being polite. She smiled and raised her glass. Just as she was about to say her words, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the jade bracelet exposed on Du Yunhe's wrist.

Bai's eyes paused and she put down her cup in surprise. Although she felt rude, she couldn't help but ask Du Yunhe: "Mrs. Guan, where did you get this bracelet?"

There are only female seats here. When the people at the table heard what Bai said, they couldn't help but look at Du Yunhe's wrist.

"Don't tell me, this bracelet is really good."

"Mrs. Hou Ye has good taste and can see it at a glance."

"I seem to remember that Mrs. Marquis had a similar style when she was young? But I haven't seen you wearing it since."

Du Yunhe lowered his head and looked at the bracelet on his wrist and said, "This is what my husband just gave me."

Guan Yuansheng nodded: "There is such a custom in my hometown. My husband wants to give his wife a pair of bracelets on their wedding day, which means they are in pairs. I went to many jewelry shops before I bought such an excellent one in Nanji."

"Nan Ji?" Mr. Bai rarely goes out recently, so he didn't know that such a new jewelry shop had opened.

Mrs. Liu next to her was usually closest to Mr. Bai and told her the location of Nanji.

"You've been stuck at home these days and haven't even shown up for the opening of your new Qing'er store, but you've missed a lot of excitement. Mrs. Guan just arrived in the capital. Let's make an appointment to go out for tea tomorrow. , enjoy the flowers, and then stop by Nan Kee to pick out jewelry.”

Bai nodded, and after sitting down, he looked at Du Yunhe's wrist. He seemed to have thought of something bad, and was a little dazed. He seemed to be isolated from the excitement, and there was even a flash of light in his eyes. Fear.

Xu time.

Night fell.

Wen Ying and Zhang Captou finally caught up with the flower boat.

The flower boat stopped at the ferry of Jinfeng River.

Lan Jue waved back and led people to surround the ferry. Wen Ying and Zhang Daotou quickly boarded the boat, but they were still a step too late.

"With so much gold, there must be someone to take care of it." Wen Ying looked along the ferry and finally found the wheel marks of the carriage. "With such deep marks, heavy objects must have been placed on the carriage."

Zhang Captou's lifelong wish was to catch Shi Wenxi with his own hands. Now that he finally had a clue, he naturally refused to give up.

The three men immediately followed the traces on the ground and chased him.

……

The next day, [-] hours.

Nan Xi was worried about Wen Ying, so he got up early and bought some big beef buns on the way to the government office.

"Miss Nan."

Nan Xi looked up with surprise: "Master Hou?"

Going to court so soon?
Murong Tao's eyes fell on the bun in her hand and asked: "Is this what you eat in the morning?"

Then he spoke in a cautious tone, "I heard that you live in the Prince Regent's Mansion, does the prince not care about your breakfast? You only eat steamed buns, not even hot soup, how can you swallow it?"

It sounded like he was fighting for her.

Nan Xi was even more puzzled, "I bought this for Wen Wen."

She didn't explain who Wenwen was, as she didn't think it was necessary.

Murong Tao took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then have you eaten? I know that the new breakfast series launched by Juyouge is good. Do you want to try it?"

Nan Xi: "?" In the original plot, Bo Anhou did love his daughter, but he didn't expect that he would love his daughter to such an extent that he would actually help Murong Qing's new store in the street?
"Oh, I've already eaten and I'm about to go to the government office to go to work." Nan Xi said.

Murong Tao still had many questions to ask, so after hearing this, he said: "I happen to be going to see Mr. Tang, why don't we go together?"

He was a Marquis, and he took the initiative to invite him. How could Nan Xi refuse?

"it is good."

After getting on the carriage, Nan Xi sat opposite Murong Tao. She was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the morning market. Only then did she realize that Murong Tao's eyes were always glancing at the birthmark on her face from time to time.

She turned sideways.

Even if she doesn't feel inferior because of this birthmark, it doesn't mean she can let others stare at her like this without getting angry.

After Murong Tao came to his senses, he felt that he had been a little rude.

Everything is not clear yet, so it would be bad if Nan Xi thought he was a scoundrel who judged people based on their appearance.

"Miss Nan, how old are you this year?"

Nan Xi: "?"

Presumptuous?
Didn't the ancients know not to ask a woman's age casually?
"fourteen."

fourteen!

He is actually the same age as Qing'er!
Murong Tao didn't know what he was getting excited about. His heart was in turmoil, and there was always a sense of sourness pouring into his eyes.

"You are still so young and you have to work on your own. I heard that you are the regent's apprentice and currently live in the palace. What about your family? Are they also in the palace?"

As soon as the words fell, he felt a little regretful.

The question was too straightforward.

Doesn't this make it more obvious that he has intentions for Nan Xi?

Nan Xi didn't think it was a big deal. Everyone in the palace knew that she lived in the palace, so it wasn't really a secret.

"I don't have any family anymore."

I don’t know why, but these words just came out of my mouth.

The buns in my hands were still warm, driving away all the coldness in my heart.

"I am a child picked up by the Nan family. They severed ties with me not long ago, so now my master is my only relative."

Murong Tao felt bursts of pain in his heart, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Cutting off the relationship casually shows that the relationship was not deep in the first place. I don't know what Nan Xi has suffered in the Nan family these years?

He wanted to ask something more, but the carriage had stopped.

"Lord Hou, we're here."

Nan Xi jumped out of the carriage, turned around and smiled at Murong Tao: "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for giving me a ride. I will go in and report to Mr. Tang that you are here."

She trotted into the government office.

The happy and relaxed posture showed no signs of being troubled by his rough life experience, which made Murong Tao relax a little.

Fortunately, fortunately.

"grown ups!"

When Nan Xi saw Tang Jingjing, he asked, "Are Wen Wen and the others back?"

Tang Jingjing also stayed up all night. After waiting until now, he pinched his eyebrows and shook his head and said: "Not yet. Shi Wenxi has always been very cunning and skillful. I am really afraid that they will encounter some kind of ambush and be isolated and helpless. What will happen to them?" thing."
