After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Scorching sun.

The official road outside Haozhou City seemed to be ignited by the hot air. The heat waves rolled and the cicadas on the roadside chirped heart-wrenchingly.

The grass beside the road was already leaning all over the place, collapsed by the heat.

It's empty and deserted.

A carriage with a black nanmu body came from the southeast.

The car was not going very fast, but it still stirred up a lot of dust.

The driver was a man wearing a black monk's robe and a bamboo hat on his head. At this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping from his forehead.

The door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a chubby little hand stretched out from the carriage, holding a water bag.

"Uncle monk, drink some water."

The cute voice is more melting than the heat outside the car.

Daoyan couldn't help but smile.

"Xu..."

The horse's hooves stamped on the spot, and the horse sneezed loudly and neighed.

Daoyan pulled the reins and stopped the carriage under a big tree beside the official road.

He was indeed a little thirsty.

"Okay, drink some water." Daoyan turned around and said to the people in the carriage, "You two gentlemen can get off the carriage and stretch your legs. After another half an hour, we can enter Haozhou City."

Daoyan said as he took the water bag handed to him by Xia Xiaoxian and put the horse stool next to the carriage.

Then he opened the water bag and drank it.

After drinking the water, Daoyan found a slightly flat ground under the shade of a tree, crossed his legs, and began to meditate.

This is his daily habit.

Zi Su got off the carriage first, then turned around and picked up Xia Xiaoxian.

As soon as Xia Xiaoxian stepped on the ground, she ran to Daoyan.

She held a handkerchief in her hand and wiped the sweat off Daoyan's face like an adult.

After wiping the sweat off her face, she saw that Daoyan ignored her, so she followed his example and sat cross-legged under the tree in meditation.

It has been nearly ten days since they left the capital, and the monk and the baby have become inseparable.

Sometimes, they talked in a babble, in words that no one could understand, and sometimes they sat cross-legged together like they were doing now, as if in a state of trance.

Along the way, Xia Yu always envied Daoyan when he saw him, "The little princess and the master get along very well."

Daoyan replied: "All dharmas arise from causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease from causes and conditions. The Buddha says that all dharmas arising and ceasing from causes and conditions are empty."

......

"Miss, I am about to meet the Master and the Madam. I am so excited."

Zi Su took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shen Yuyao. It was really hot that day, and she saw that Shen Yuyao's face was also red.

Shen Yuyao gently pressed her forehead with a handkerchief and looked towards the direction of Haozhou City: "I wonder how my parents are doing, and whether my brother and sister-in-law are all right?"

Although Haozhou is the hometown of Duke Shen, Shen Yuyao has never been back once. She was born in the capital by the Duke's wife.

Since then, the Duke has been fighting all over the world and has never had the chance to bring Shen Yuyao back to Haozhou.

Therefore, Shen Yuyao is actually unfamiliar with Haozhou.

Zi Su was a maid that the Duke's Mansion bought specially from Haozhou so that Shen Yuyao could learn some of her hometown dialect when she was young.

Now that he was going back to his childhood hometown, Shisu was visibly excited.

Xia Yu was also looking at the city gate from afar at this time.

Haozhou City is his father's hometown. Xia Yu had accompanied his father back to Haozhou to worship their ancestors several times, but it had never been like this time.

I'm so excited!

Shen Yuyao's face full of longing made him inexplicably excited.

The feeling I had every time I came back was completely different.

Accompany her, hand in hand for a lifetime.

Shen Yuyao, will she be happy?

Xia Yu thought that in his previous life, he had never looked at her seriously, let alone wanted to spend his life with her.

What a pity, I missed it like that.

Xia Yu was trying hard to recall when was the last time he and her met in the previous life?

He only remembered that when he heard that his wife had died in childbirth, he could only sigh for the child who had never been born.

We don't even know the gender of the baby.

The next moment, he was filled with inexplicable joy for the concubine and her twin children.

Therefore, when Xia Yu was on the verge of death in his previous life and realized that it was his wife who stretched out her hands to him, the shock he felt still often strikes his heart.

He always felt very guilty towards her.

Living this life over again, Xia Yu felt that he was extremely happy every minute he spent with Shen Yuyao.

Xia Yu secretly decided that in this life he only wanted to make up for the regrets of his previous life. He must be twice as good to her.

As long as she is with him, he will never marry any other woman. Shen Yuyao will be the only one in his life!

Even if he really reaches the top of the world in the future, he will only join hands with Shen Yuyao.

"Prince!" Shen Yuyao called softly, and Xia Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"My Lord, let's go into the city."

"Okay, let's go into the city!"

Shen Yuyao is still somewhat unfamiliar with Xia Yu now. Every time she sees him, she is still polite and even a little courteous.

Yes, it is this politeness that often makes Xia Yu feel distant.

However, Xia Yu didn't care too much. Shen Yuyao was his princess and they had a long way to go.

Xia Yu walked to the carriage. Daoyan had already sat on the edge of the carriage, and Xia Xiaoxian had also been brought into the carriage by Zisu.

Xia Yu: "I will personally drive the chariot into Haozhou City!"

Daoyan: “…”

The horse seemed to sense Xia Yu's mood and ran more vigorously. There was some wind blowing, and it didn't feel as hot as before.

Haozhou was the birthplace of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is now a big city. Compared with the capital, it is not inferior to the prosperity of the soft red ten-foot-high city.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Xia Yu drove into Haozhou City. It was a hot summer day, but the streets were crowded with people.

Shen Yuyao bent down and lifted the door curtain, looking around. She was really excited as she would be able to see her father and mother soon.

At this moment, she felt that the entire Haozhou City and its people seemed to be full of joy.

Shen Yuyao patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and asked, "How does Haozhou compare to Yanjing?"

She was also full of curiosity about Yanjing.

Xia Yu turned around and smiled at Shen Yuyao, "Yanjing is better!"

Shen Yuyao was a little unconvinced: "What's good about it?"

Xia Yu shook the reins in his hand, looked at the teahouses and restaurants on the street, and said, "Everywhere."

laugh!

Xia Yu knew that she had never been out of the capital, so he was fooling her!

Shen Yuyao snorted and lowered the door curtain.

[Of course Yanjing is better. Yanjing will be the capital of the Daxia people for a thousand years.]

[The monks will also build a palace with red walls and golden tiles there, but it’s a pity...]

Monks building palaces?

Shen Yuyao listened to Xia Xiaoxian's thoughts. She thought she had heard it wrong. Why would a monk build a palace?

Maybe Xia Xiaoxian meant that Monk Daoyan would build a temple that looks like a palace.

The temples have red walls and golden tiles, which is also their color.

The carriage stopped in front of a not-so-big mansion.

After handing the reins to Daoyan, Xia Yu got out of the car first, looked up at the door plaque of the mansion, and after confirming it, he shouted, "We've arrived at the Shen Mansion."

As soon as Xia Yu shouted this with a smile, Shen Yuyao's heart started beating wildly.

Finally I get to see my parents.
