New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

People were coming and going on the streets, vendors were shouting loudly, and passers-by were walking around looking around.

Xiao Mu was walking on the street with his three children. When he saw a candied haws vendor, he ran over without hesitation.

He didn't notice at all that a man behind him had a look of surprise and joy when he saw one of the children.

The man's name was Zhu Jing, and he was a secret guard beside Hongli.

She once accompanied the emperor on his trip to the south of the Yangtze River and to Jinan, and was a witness to the brief romance between the emperor and Xia Yuhe.

Not long ago, the emperor kept dreaming that he had forgotten something, so he asked him to come over and investigate in the Jiangnan area to see if he could remember anything.

As a secret guard, Zhu Jing naturally remembered that there was a Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake who had a brief relationship with the emperor, but he couldn't say it openly. What if the emperor didn't admit it? Or, after these years, what if Xia Yuhe had someone else in her heart and married someone else?

He thought about it and kept the matter to himself, determined to investigate it first.

So he responded and went to the south of the Yangtze River with the investigation mission given by the emperor.

After leaving the capital, he went straight to Jinan. After arriving there, he found out through indirect questioning that Xia Yuhe's father had been ordered to go to Hangzhou to serve as the prefect, and the Xia family had all moved away.

And that Xia Yuhe seems to have a daughter born out of wedlock?

Based on the child's age and approximate birth month, Zhu Jing was able to calculate that it was around the time when the emperor went to the Xia Mansion. He was overjoyed, not expecting that the emperor actually had a pearl left among the people.

He secretly inquired and found out that after Xia Yuhe gave birth to a child out of wedlock, she had never been involved with other men. She was even criticized behind her back by others because of the issue of the child.

Zhu Jing felt that he had to go to Hangzhou to meet them first. It would be best if he could see Xia Yuhe and her child. After confirmation, he would rush back to the capital to explain to the emperor.

He ignored the discussions and curious looks of others and rode his horse to Hangzhou.

After a long journey, he just arrived in Hangzhou and happened to see a little girl who looked very much like Xia Yuhe. Zhu Jing was very surprised and wanted to go up and ask a few questions, but he saw that the adult was with three children and was watching the child named Ziwei very closely.

Zhu Jing frowned and thought, this man couldn't be Madam Xia's new lover, right?

He couldn't help but move closer to hear what they were saying.

When I got closer, I heard them discussing what style of candied haws to buy.

"Xiaoyanzi, look, there are oranges in this candied haws. It must be delicious."

Xiao Feng bent down and recommended gently.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the candied haws with an orange in the middle and shook her head, "I want the one next to it. It has sesame seeds and I like sesame seeds."

When Ziwei saw Xiaoyanzi chose a candied haws with sesame seeds, she also said, "I want a candied haws with sesame seeds, too."

As an adult, Xiao Mu smiled and handed them the candied haws. He first took out one with orange and handed it to Xiao Feng, and then took out two with sesame seeds and gave them to Xiao Yanzi and Ziwei.

Xiao Feng glanced at his two sisters, then looked at the orange in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle, I want sesame too."

Xiao Mu looked at him with amusement, nodded in response, took the orange candied haws from his hand and put it back, then picked out a sesame candied haws and gave it to him.

The vendor was so happy to see that he could sell three candied haws at once that his face was full of wrinkles.

"how much is the total?"

"One candied haws is two copper coins, three candied haws is five copper coins."

The honest vendor couldn't help but smile and round off the price when he saw these three children, who were as beautiful as gold and jade.

Xiao Mu smiled, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Thank you. No need for change."

When he came just now, he saw a child from a poor family who wanted to eat candied haws but had no money to buy them, so he cried and made a fuss. The kind-hearted vendor secretly stuffed a candied haws into the child's pocket, satisfying the child's childishness.

He also didn't mind giving him a little convenience.

Xiaoyanzi bit on the candied haws and looked at Uncle Xiao Mu's generosity with a smile in her eyes. When they have the ability, there is nothing wrong with being kind to others.

The merchant looked at the silver ingot in his hand and hurriedly tried to give the customer change. However, when he looked up, the customer had already left with the child.

He was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. Holding the silver ingot, his heart felt like it was soaked in sour water, making him feel sore and uncomfortable.

Zhu Jing saw everything clearly from a distance. Although he didn't know who the man was, he didn't look like a master. He seemed to be quite respectful to the three children. However, for a servant, he could be so generous to ordinary vendors, which was really surprising.

And those three children look like they are a family. Could the girl who looks like Madam Xia be the Princess Ziwei who was abandoned among the people by the Emperor?

Thinking of this, he did not follow him, but walked up to the candied haws vendor casually and asked for a sesame-flavored candied haws. He held it in his hand and asked for information indirectly.

"My dear brother, I just saw that those three children are quite smart and cute. I wonder which families they were born in?"

When the vendor heard this, he looked him up and down, then asked with some caution, "You are not from Hangzhou, are you?"

Zhu Jing was stunned. How could he see that? Could it be that those people had some kind of identity?

He smiled cheerfully, "Yes, I came from the capital, and came here specially to see the beautiful scenery of West Lake. I happened to see those children, they are so rare and exquisite and cute, and they look like the money-giving boy beside Guanyin, which makes me curious."

When the merchant heard that the man came from the capital for sightseeing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that he was not a beggar.

However, even so, he couldn't help but say a few words, "The one who bought things just now is the housekeeper of our Hangzhou hero Xiao's mansion, and the other three are the young masters and young ladies of the mansion.

There is also a young lady who is the granddaughter of the new prefect of Hangzhou. You, please don't have any bad ideas, right? Otherwise, if you provoke them, you will end up in trouble. "

Hearing the vendor's suggestion, Zhu Jing just nodded without saying anything, but he was delighted in his heart. It seemed that she was indeed the daughter of Madam Xia, the emperor's princess. But why was she another child from the Xia family?

He asked quickly, "Could it be that the Xiao family and the Xia family are married?"

The vendor thought for a moment and said, "It seems like they are getting married. It is said to be a godparent relationship."

Zhu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Madam Xia didn't marry Hero Xiao. He could finally go back and report.

After bidding the merchant farewell with gratitude, he threw a small ingot of silver and rode away on his horse.

The candied haws vendor looked at the two silver ingots in his hand, blinked, and then his heart began to beat wildly at the surprise of this windfall.

I stopped selling candied haws and went home after packing up. I kept smiling the whole way. If I wasn't afraid of being discovered, I would have laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?"

(The following three methods can allow me to add more.

First, if you send more than thirty gifts, you can add an extra chapter.

Second, if the number of updated chapters exceeds 100, an additional chapter can be added.

Third, if there are more than five five-star reviews, you can add another one.

Hehe, it’s my fault for being too lazy, so I gave you some tasks that are not easy to complete. After all, coding is tiring and I need a little motivation, hahaha. )
