A life of two souls traveling through time

Two days later, Xiuming took Siyao into Mucheng and went to Lu's tailor shop to pick up clothes. When Siyao changed into a newly made moon-white top and bamboo-green skirt, Xiuming put a purple cloak on her. The coldness added a touch of bright color, making her look like a beautiful painting, pleasing to the eye.

"Well, it seems that senior brother has a good vision." Xiu Ming looked at Si Yao, who looked refreshed, and nodded with satisfaction. The clear smile in his eyes was not mixed with any sexual desire between men and women, but just the love of a brother for his sister.

"The color matching of this suit is very suitable for Miss Si Yao!" At this time, Mr. Lu from the tailor shop also looked up from his busy work and smiled at Xiu Ming, and then congratulated Si Yao: "Old Lu, I would also like to congratulate Miss Si Yao on becoming Mr. San Xiu's apprentice!"

"Thank you, Boss Lu." Si Yao liked the simple outfit. She bowed to Boss Lu to express her gratitude, then turned to Xiu Ming and bowed again with gratitude: "Thank you, too, Senior Brother."

"Why would we brothers and sisters have so many words of thanks? Besides, these are necessary clothes distributed to you by the medicine shop." Seeing that his sister was still being so polite to him, Xiu Ming could only smile helplessly.

Xiu Ming exchanged a few simple words with Mr. Lu from the tailor shop before leaving with Si Yao. As the Lantern Festival was approaching, lanterns had been hung in the streets and alleys, and more and more people were strolling on the streets. There were already all kinds of performances under the corridors on both sides of the main street, including strange skills, singing and dancing, and gambling. From time to time, the onlookers cheered and it was very lively.

Even Si Yao, who usually doesn't like crowds, was attracted by the atmosphere on the street. She looked around while walking, thinking that if Arnold was there, she would have a great time.

Seeing that Si Yao was very interested in the game performances on both sides, Xiu Ming also slowed down his pace.

After walking around the street for about half an hour, the two finally walked into a gold and silver shop.

"Oh, who was that? It turns out to be Mr. Xiu Ming. What a rare guest!"

The one who came out to greet them was the owner of the gold and silver shop, a plump and charming woman. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the gentle and elegant Xiu Ming, and she did not forget to send him a wink while smiling warmly.

"Boss Xin's business is booming." Xiu Ming smiled politely and generously.

"Thanks for your good wishes, Mr. Xiuming." The owner of the gold and silver shop gave Xiuming a sweet smile, and then turned his gaze to Si Yao's face who was standing silently beside Xiuming: "Look, this girl is so beautiful, Mr. Xiuming, why don't you introduce her to me?" As he said this, he looked at Xiuming with a gossipy look. Could it be that Mr. Xiuming, who has always been pure and unselfish, has also gotten married?

"This is my junior sister, Si Yao." Seeing that he was misunderstood again, Xiu Ming smiled helplessly.

"Oh, so this girl is Mr. Sanxiu's new female apprentice. She looks very smart and lovable." The gold and silver shop owner suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly pulled Si Yao to his side with a smile and kept looking at her.

"Hello, Boss Xin." Si Yao was not used to being held by the hand by a strange woman, so he took two steps back while bowing to her.

The gold and silver shop owner smiled awkwardly. Coincidentally, two guests upstairs were calling her. Xiu Ming said slowly, "Boss Xin, go and do your work. We'll take a look first."

"Call me if you need anything!" The owner of the gold and silver shop gave Xiu Ming a charming smile, asked the clerk next to him to greet him, and turned around to go upstairs.

Si Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the female boss leave. When she looked up, she saw that her senior brother Xiu Ming had picked up a small and exquisite silver hairpin and inserted it into her hair. The silver hairpin was inlaid with three bamboo green gems, which matched the clothes she was wearing. Xiu Ming was satisfied with it, so he placed the bronze mirror beside him in front of Si Yao. Si Yao looked at it and nodded to her senior brother with a smile.

In the teahouse opposite the gold and silver shop, Yan Zong closed the window in front of him with a gloomy face. He had just come to the teahouse to sober up after a banquet and wanted to open the window to get some fresh air, but he happened to see the scene of the senior brother and sister choosing hairpins. He didn't know why he suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

After copying the sutras a hundred times in Shangjing, he wrote a letter to ask for permission to return to Mucheng, the border town. Emperor Yan, who was already troubled by the newlyweds, was afraid that he would continue to embarrass Princess Zong, so he agreed. Two days ago, just after returning to the military camp, Situ Ting handed over an invitation saying that the officials of Mucheng had prepared a banquet to congratulate Prince Zong on his wedding, and wanted to invite Prince Zong to patronize. They had borrowed the villa of Situ Ting, the county magistrate of Mucheng, and had not returned it yet. Naturally, Yan Zong could not refuse, so he brought Yu Cheng into the city to attend the banquet today.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yu Cheng, who was sitting nearby, had just eaten half a piece of cake. Seeing Yan Zong's face turn pale and he was so scared that he almost choked. He quickly took a big sip of tea and asked with concern.

The jewelry in this gold and silver shop are not cheap, so Si Yao only asked for the silver hairpin on her head and then forced her senior brother Xiu Ming to walk out of the shop. Xiu Ming, who was always elegant, tried to persuade her in vain and had to follow his junior sister.

"Mr. Xiu Ming." As the two of them walked out of the gold and silver shop, Yu Cheng suddenly appeared. He first bowed respectfully to Xiu Ming, then looked at Si Yao and said, "Your Highness, please have a chat with Miss Si Yao." Obviously this was not a request, but more like an order.

Upon learning that Prince Zong wanted to see her, Si Yao's heart tightened. The person she least wanted to see right now was Prince Zong. Perhaps it was because seeing him would remind her of Huifeng's death, or perhaps it was because his strong suspicion made her afraid and she didn't want to get close to him anymore.

"Now that the prince is back, it is only natural for me to congratulate him on his wedding." Seeing Si Yao looking embarrassed, Xiu Ming smiled and walked forward to Yu Chengdao.

"I hope Mr. Xiuming can forgive me. Today, His Highness only wants to invite Miss Siyao." Yu Cheng also showed an embarrassed look and said to Xiuming.

"Did the prince tell you why he wanted to see my junior sister?" Xiu Ming looked embarrassed, but he still asked worriedly. Logically speaking, my junior sister had been cleared of suspicion, and the death of my junior brother Huifeng was over. There was no reason for the prince to make things difficult for her again, right?

"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiu Ming. His Highness is only looking for Miss Si Yao to return something."

"Returning something?" Xiuming was curious and was about to ask in detail when Si Yao interrupted him:

"Brother, wait for me. I'll be back soon."

After Si Yao finished speaking, she followed Yu Cheng to the teahouse. Yu Cheng's words also reminded Si Yao that Jiang Siyao's ID card was still in the hands of the prince, and he thought he wanted to return it.

Xiuming looked at the two people's receding backs and was still wondering: What on earth was that thing?

Si Yao is an old customer of this teahouse. She used to follow Hui Feng as a medicine boy. But things are different now, so the waiter almost lost his mind when he saw the refreshed Si Yao. After he came to his senses, he wanted to step forward to say hello, but when he saw that she was following General Yu Cheng who was beside Prince Zong, he didn't dare to say anything more and just smiled at Si Yao.

There are many people in Mucheng today, and the teahouse's business has improved. Because there are people on the second floor, Prince Zong sat in the side room.

"Si Yao has met the King."

After Yu Cheng led Si Yao into the side room, he stepped out on his own accord. Si Yao, who was standing by the door, saluted the prince with a heavy heart.

Yan Zong, who was sitting in front of the window, raised his pretending to be cold eyes and looked at Si Yao in front of him without any hesitation. She had lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for more than ten days. However, this new outfit added brilliance to her compared with her previous simplicity. She was like a green plum blossom in full bloom under the bright sun, pure and elegant, which was heart-warming. There was an indescribable light flashing in his eyes. He thought she was just a gust of wind blowing across his heart, and when the wind dissipated, his heart stopped. But when they met again, he found that he overestimated himself. That gust of wind had already taken the opportunity to ambush in his heart.
