The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Sure enough, as Liu Hanqing expected, when Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng heard that Xiao Yanzhi had arrived in Suzhou, they immediately changed to overland and returned to Suzhou during the starry night, but when the two rushed into Liu's mansion, Xiao Yanzhi was not there.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng would go to the Liu Mansion every time they came back from the sea to have a look at Xiao Junmeng, and by the way, give Xiao Junmeng the exotic specialties brought back from overseas to relieve their boredom, so the two of them would simply follow their own house when they entered the Liu Mansion. it's the same.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Liu's mansion, Xiao Xiangsheng grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is the guest who lived in your mansion these few days?"

Afraid that the person who directly referred to brother Liu's mansion would not know who it was, Xiao Xiangsheng specially added a few more words to describe it.

Three years of going to sea had honed Xiao Xiangsheng into a strong man, his eyes widening and his quick questioning frightened the servant.

"Guest, guest left the mansion half an hour ago." After speaking, the servant immediately shook off Xiao Xiangsheng's hand and fled quickly.

Xiao Ren'an, who also has three years of sea experience, is still as handsome and gentle as jade. Seeing this, he walked to Xiao Xiangsheng's side and jokingly said: "I told you to be gentle with others, isn't this scaring people? Oh, obviously In the past, he was just a handsome boy with a bit of a naughty face, why has he grown more and more like a bandit in the past few years? You are not a child picked up by your mother, are you? "

He was still the same as his brother, looking a little thin.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiangsheng immediately stared at Xiao Ren'an and shouted: "Why don't you say that you picked it up yourself?!"

Xiao Ren'an took a step back, rubbed his ears and said, "Because I look like my brother, and I also look like my sister and Jun Meng, but you look different from us now."

Xiao Xiangsheng felt aggrieved and said, "That's not what I wanted to grow up to be like this! We both do the same thing, so why haven't you changed?"

Xiao Ren'an shrugged and said, "That's why I said you picked it up."

"you!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing!" At this moment, Xiao Junmeng walked out of the backyard of Liu Mansion with Liu Hanqing on his arm, "Third brother, not only your body is getting stronger and stronger every year, but your voice is also getting stronger every year. When you grow up, you can hear you roaring from far away, and those who don't know it may think that there is a wild animal in Liu's mansion."

Xiao Xiangsheng was speechless: "You two know how to run on me all day long!"

Xiao Junmeng smiled sweetly and said, "Come on, come in quickly."

She happened to be walking in the yard, so she walked around to the front yard when she heard third brother's voice, otherwise she would wait for the two to go in by themselves.

"Where's brother?" Xiao Ren'an followed Xiao Junmeng's slow pace and asked in doubt.

"Oh, brother and prince left the house half an hour ago."

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an raised his eyebrows, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, don't you know that we will be back at this time?"

"I know, I told my brother as soon as I received your letter."

Having said that, Xiao Junmeng suddenly felt that this was a bit strange.

Brother knew that the second brother and the third brother would return to the city at this time, why did they go out at this time?

Xiao Xiangsheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, tilted his head and thought for a while and asked, "Did brother tell me where he went?"

Xiao Junmeng also stopped, thought carefully but didn't think of anything, so he turned his head to look at Liu Hanqing.

Liu Hanqing didn't know either.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng looked at each other, then looked at Xiao Junmeng, then looked up at the sky, and suddenly smiled.

"Jun Meng, get ready, let's go find brother."

"Eh? Where can I find it?" Xiao Junmeng still couldn't react.

Xiao Xiangsheng smiled and said: "You girl, you have become more and more stupid since you gave birth. Don't ask if you didn't guess it, and pack your things quickly. Really, it's been a while since I last saw you, why is your stomach getting bigger again."

"You don't care about me!" After glaring at Xiao Xiangsheng, Xiao Junmeng quickly walked back to the backyard with Liu Hanqing on his arm, changed his clothes, brought some cloaks, thin blankets and so on, and then came to the gate of the mansion again.

Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng had already asked the people in the Liu Mansion to prepare horses and carriages. Seeing that Liu Hanqing and Xiao Junmeng had entered the carriage, they led the way on horseback and walked to a small river outside Suzhou city without hesitation.

Concerned about Xiao Junmeng's body, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng did not dare to walk too fast. When the group reached the river, it was already sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the earth warmly. In the warm halo, Xiao Yanzhi Sitting cross-legged by the river fishing, it was the same as it was ten years ago, as if it had never changed, but it was Pei Ze, not Xiao Ren'an, who was by Xiao Yanzhi's side at the moment.

Looking at the familiar figure not far away, Xiao Junmeng's nose became sour, and tears came down immediately.

Xiao Xiangsheng wiped his nose, and as soon as he got off the horse, he began to take off his clothes while running towards the river. When he got to the river, only a pair of trousers were left on his body. Xiao Xiangsheng stepped into the water without even the slightest hesitation.

"Brother, when will you sit there and wait until you can catch a fish? Watch me catch two with a fork!"

The water wave swayed, frightening the fish in the river to panic, and the few fish that had just approached the bait disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Xiao Xiangsheng who was thumping in the river, and laughed and cursed: "I can't sit still for a moment!"

Xiao Xiangsheng chuckled, because he didn't prepare a harpoon, he could only catch fish with his bare hands, and he had regained the fun of his childhood.

Xiao Ren'an walked up to Xiao Yanzhi with a smile on his face, imitated Xiao Yanzhi and sat down cross-legged, then picked up the fishing rod that Xiao Yanzhi had prepared for him, skillfully put on the bait and threw it out.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Xiao Ren'an, but did not speak.

"Brother..." Xiao Junmeng was already inconvenient to move around, so he spread out a cushion and sat behind Xiao Yanzhi, leaning on Xiao Yanzhi's back with his crooked body.

The slightly redundant Pei Ze and Liu Hanqing looked at each other, and then smiled at each other, tacitly saying nothing, just sitting by the river fishing, but they didn't really want to catch fish.

After sitting quietly for a while, Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiangsheng who was flopping about in the river, and asked Xiao Ren'an, "Why do you want to go to sea?"

Xiao Ren'an turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and then said: "There is Yan's family on the road, and Xiangsheng and I both came from Yan's family. We have learned so many things from him, and now it is not easy to avenge him to steal his business. , although it may not be able to grab the hand, but it is not good after all.

Besides, we have always been by my brother's side, Xiangsheng and I are not afraid of foreigners. Although we don't understand foreign languages, it's not impossible to communicate, especially with Xiangsheng as a living treasure.So after staying in Suzhou for a period of time, Xiangsheng and I decided to go out to sea with a fleet for a try. After that, we felt that it would work, so we made up our minds to accept a fleet.

Sorry, I didn't discuss it with my brother. "

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "You two are not young anymore, and you are not ignorant boys, so you don't need to discuss everything with me. But going to sea is a dangerous thing, I don't want to suddenly hear my family The news that the brother's bones are gone."

Xiao Ren'an nodded and said: "Although there is no way to guarantee anything to brother, we will be careful. When several routes are cleared and business cooperation is arranged, the two of us will not go to sea in person again."

Xiao Yanzhi sighed with a smile, and said: "At first I expected you two to spread the branches and leaves for the Xiao family, but in the end, you two are more able to make troubles than me."

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an turned his head and looked at Xiao Junmeng jokingly, and said, "Don't worry, brother, we still have Junmeng in our family. If two are not enough, let her have a few more."

"Second brother, what do you think I am!" Xiao Junmeng blushed when she heard this, and hit Xiao Ren'an hard with her eyes widened in anger.

Xiao Ren'an laughed and said, "Isn't it because you have a good relationship with Han Qing, what are you afraid of if you have more children, brother will take care of you for you!"

"Who will take care of you!" Xiao Junmeng hit Xiao Ren'an again, and suddenly remembered Xiao Chunyue, Xiao Junmeng asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Brother, sister..."

Xiao Yanzhi touched Xiao Junmeng's head with his backhand, and said, "One person has one's own way of life, sister is fine."

"En." Xiao Junmeng nodded and leaned against Xiao Yanzhi again.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiangsheng in the river again, and teased, "Ren'an, do you think Xiangsheng looks like a child picked up by his adoptive father and mother?"

Originally, they still looked like brothers to them, but why did they look like other people's children when they grew up?

Hearing this, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Junmeng burst out laughing together.

Xiao Ren'an shook his head and said with a smile: "I just told Xiang Sheng that, it made him very angry."

Xiao Junmeng also looked at Xiao Xiangsheng and said: "It's hard to say, it's true, otherwise we all went to sea together, why didn't the second brother become like him?"

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and said, "Maybe he looks like his adoptive father."

The three brothers and sisters here were laughing, while Xiao Xiangsheng came over slapping on the water, holding a slippery fish in his hand.

"Brother, look I caught it!"

"Thanks to you, you scared all the fish away, but none of us caught any." Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes at Xiao Xiangsheng.

Xiao Xiangsheng chuckled, carefully put the fish into the fish basket, and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Brother, what are you talking about so happily?"

Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Junmeng looked at Xiao Xiangsheng together, and said in unison: "You said you were picked up by your mother."

Xiao Xiangsheng was stunned, and then shouted with his eyes wide open: "Why do you even say that?!"

Seeing Xiao Xiangsheng flopping away in front of him, Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly protected Xiao Junmeng, Liu Hanqing walked over calmly, pulled Xiao Junmeng up and led him two steps away.

"Come on, you're such a grown-up," Xiao Yanzhi kicked Xiao Xiangsheng, "But our family finally has someone who looks like our adoptive father."

His adoptive father didn't know what kind of luck it was. Among the children, Ren'an and Junmeng were more like their mothers, and Sister Chunyue's face probably resembled her mother by [-]%. Even Xiangsheng didn't look like him. Now there is finally a child who can make people know who it is at a glance.

Xiao Xiangsheng seemed to be addicted to playing, and he pulled Xiao Yanzhi and Xiao Ren'an into the river together when others were not prepared, and then he burst out laughing triumphantly, and was pushed down into the river by Xiao Yanzhi and Xiao Ren'an together. Call for help.

In the evening of this day, going back in time, it seems that nothing has changed in the mist. In the evening of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, there are always four brothers and sisters playing by the river.But looking back suddenly, the person with gentle eyes on the river bank pulled back the time and brought it forward.
