Chapter 376 Just to let me see the flowers blooming
Shen Xia looked at Jixiang next to him and said, "Jixiang, go to the front yard and ask Yanyi to ask Lord Zheng when he is free to go to the palace to pay respect to His Majesty. Can you ask him to bring my second brother with him?"
"Yes." Jixiang said and left.
"Second brother, when you go to the palace, bring some of these special flowers with you."
Song Ming frowned.
A little bit reluctant.
After all, these are specially designed for Xia Xia.
Song Jin looked at Song Ming and said, "All precious things must be owned by the royal family first. If the Princess's mansion has it, Your Majesty must also have it. It doesn't matter in the countryside, but it's not allowed in the capital."
Song Ming nodded: "Okay! I understand what Xia Xia means."
Shen Xia looked at the dozens of potted plants of various sizes in front of him, his heart filled with doubts.
She had only known the eldest princess for a few days, but her second brother had been away from home for more than half a month.
She couldn't help but wonder why her second brother was so sure that he could settle down in the capital.
She asked her second brother curiously: "Second brother, why did you think of bringing these to the capital?"
Song Ming smiled and replied, "These flowers are in full bloom in March and April. We thought that by the time you return home, it will probably be May or June, and the flowering period will have passed. So I decided to come with my third brother and bring them to you for your enjoyment."
Shen Xia said in surprise: "You brought so many things just to let me see the flowers in full bloom?"
Song Ming smiled and nodded in affirmation.
He went on to say, "These flowers were specially researched for you. As the first person to see them, it is naturally the most appropriate for you."
Hearing this, Shen Xia felt deeply moved.
These big and small pots were transported all the way to the capital, and there were many twists and turns in the process.
It must have been hard for my second brother to take care of them along the way!!
Looking at the flowers that are still in bud, I seemed to feel my second brother's deep love for me.
"Thank you, second brother. It's really beautiful. I like it so much." Shen Xia held Song Ming's hand.
He doesn't care about the mud in his hands at all!
Song Ming looked at Shen Xia sweetly, because I know Xia Xia likes flowers very much.
Over the years, there has never been a lack of flowers in the room. Even when there are several people at home, she would ask Jixiang Ruyi to keep flowers ready for Shen Xia's room at all times.
"What else is there to do? Let's do it together!"
Song Jin watched Xia Xia go plant flowers with Song Ming.
Song Jin brought his three little ones with him.
Children also like these flowers.
The three little treasures and Shen Xia asked Song Ming this and that.
It was almost noon time.
So I didn't take care of it for long before I started eating.
Zhao Lin, Liu Yao and Zhao Xin were sorting out some things they brought in the room. When they came out and saw Shen Xia, they were all very happy.
Zhao Xin walked up to Shen Xia and held her hand, swaying like a spoiled child, and said with a smile: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time! I really miss you!"
Zhao Lin also came over with his wife Liu Yao and greeted her politely: "Hello, cousin."
Shen Xia smiled and nodded, responding: "Hello."
She looked at Liu Yao carefully again and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies. You have changed a lot in the past few years."
Liu Yao smiled shyly and replied softly, "My cousin, you are too kind."
Shen Xia continued to ask: "By the way, how is your brother doing recently?"
Liu Yao quickly replied, "He went to the manor with everyone else."
Shen Xia nodded and said with satisfaction: "Let him do his job well. As long as he works hard, he will not be treated unfairly in the future."
Liu Yao said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern and care."
Then he looked at Zhao Xin: "Did you have a smooth journey? Is there anything you are not used to?"
Zhao Xin seems to be seventeen years old this year and has become a graceful young lady.
She is pretty and somewhat similar to Song's mother. People say that nieces look like their aunts, and it's not wrong.
"No? My cousin and two cousins took care of me, so I'm used to it." Zhao Xin said with a smile.
"Well, that's good. Let's go! Let's eat in the front yard."
"Okay, sister."
Zhao Lin laughed and joked, "After so many years, why are you still calling me sister? Can't you just call me cousin?"
Zhao Xin stuck out her tongue mischievously and replied coquettishly, "I don't want to. I still think calling you sister is more intimate."
Zhao Lin shook his head helplessly and quickly explained to Shen Xia: "Don't mind, cousin, this is just her personality."
Shen Xia chuckled softly: "We are all family, why would we mind these things? It's really hard for you to leave your hometown and come here."
Zhao Lin smiled and responded: "It's not hard. Others want to come but can't!"
In fact, Zhao Lin was secretly glad that he was smart and chose to follow his cousin instead of favoring his grandmother's family like his mother did.
Otherwise, how could I have achieved what I have today and even bought a house in a prosperous village?
Oh no, it’s not a village now, it’s a prosperous town.
However, when he learned that his third cousin was planning to develop in Beijing, he discussed it with his wife as soon as possible.
His wife agreed, and the two of them brought their younger brother and followed their third cousin to the capital.
This place is far away from Yaoer's relatives, so life is not so troublesome.
Although I gave fifty taels of silver to buy out the relationship, it would still be very torturous if he came to make trouble every few days.
So coming to Beijing is a very good choice.
Everyone went to the front yard together.
I saw that the tables in the restaurant were filled with all kinds of delicious food, and the aroma was fragrant.
Shen Xia saw Song Yun standing there alone, so she walked over and asked, "Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
Song Yun smiled and replied, "They have already gone back."
Shen Xia said: "Why don't you stay and have dinner together?"
Song Yun explained: "It's okay, we have almost finished talking."
Shen Xia nodded: "Oh, okay!"
Although she had an argument with Han Shuang'er, she had no opinion about Song Yun's classmate.
After all, everyone is an independent individual and cannot be generalized.
They probably felt embarrassed to keep our meal because they had an argument.
In fact, I really don’t care about these things.
At lunch time, the table was full of people, including Song Yun, Song Ming, Song Jin, Zhao Lin and his wife, Zhao Xin, three children and Shen Xia.
The people at this table haven't been together for a long time. Everyone is very happy and enjoys the food while chatting.
The Song family does not have the rule of "no talking while eating", so everyone can speak freely and communicate to their heart's content.
After the meal, everyone continued to chat and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Jixiang also came back: "Madam, Lord Zheng said he is free tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, okay!"
"Lord Zheng said he would come to pick up the Second Young Master after the morning court tomorrow."
"Okay, then, second brother, you can go with Master Zheng tomorrow. You two are familiar with each other and you will have company."
"Okay, thank you Xia Xia."
"It's a bit strange for my second brother to say thank you to me."
Song Ming smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Xia saw that her second brother looked embarrassed.
I just wanted to make a few jokes on him, but seeing that there were strangers around, it was inappropriate.
Forget it.
