Chapter 427 Turkic Invasion (1)
That's how I stayed at the Luo family.
Chen Xin and Shen Qiu were busy men who could not sit still. They trained their troops every day in the simple training ground outside the Luo family. Naturally, they trained the remaining front troops of the Shen family army. Those soldiers in the front troops were originally cooks and the like. They were tortured by Chen Xin every day and they were miserable. Chen Xin was also angry from the training.
Luo Xueyan was busy visiting relatives and friends. Xiaochun City was where she lived during her childhood and teenage years, and she had many close friends there. Every day, she took Shen Miao out to visit old friends, and somehow, Shen Miao got to know a bunch of ladies.
At first, everyone diligently served the young lady from Mingqi. She was served the most exquisite food, the finest silk thread, and the most creative desserts. Even the flowers and plants were meticulously trimmed. In the past, those daughters of officials who had come to Xiaochun City from Dingjing City were somewhat temperamental, and everyone was afraid they might not treat Shen Miao well. But after living there for a while, they realized their previous concerns were unnecessary. Shen Miao integrated well into Xiaochun City and received no special treatment. Hail occasionally fell in Xiaochun City, but Shen Miao was merely curious, not frightened.
As time went on, the Luo family gradually let down their guard towards this cousin. Of the four younger generations of the Luo family, Luo Ling and Luo Sa had already started serving in the guards, so they didn't see each other much on a daily basis. Luo Tan and Luo Qian spent more time at home. Luo Tan had made peace with Shen Miao when she gave her a peep show. As for Luo Qian, she was naturally lively, like a grown-up Su Minglang, constantly pestering Shen Miao to tell her stories about Dingjing.
Shen Miao didn't have to think about Fu Xiuyi in Xiaochun City, so her mind was much clearer. She just treated Luo Qian as her younger brother.
That day, Luo Qian and Luo Tan came to Chen Miao's courtyard again to look for her. Xiaochun City wasn't like Dingjing City. If you went to Dingjing City, you could still go shopping. You could spend months browsing all the shops, big and small, but Xiaochun City was small, so after a few days, there wasn't much to see. Shen Miao stayed at the mansion, and Luo Qian and Luo Tan must have been bored, so they came to talk to her.
While eating the Jiangnan dim sum that the kitchen had prepared for Shen Miao, Luo Qian said, "Yesterday I went to the training ground to watch Cousin Qiu train his troops. Although those soldiers were not very good, Cousin Qiu's martial arts skills were very high. And there was also Guard Mo beside Cousin Qiu. I couldn't even withstand a few moves from him. Cousin, can you ask Cousin Qiu to teach me a few moves as well?"
Shen Miao smiled and said, "If you want to learn, just tell Big Brother directly. He will definitely agree."
"Really?" Luo Qian, true to his youthful nature, suddenly beamed with joy. It was strange to say, the young men of Dingjing were mostly arrogant, yet somewhat cunning beyond their years due to their many experiences. The younger generation of the Luo family was different. Luo Qian, for example, was sincere and forthright, with a youthful innocence that easily endeared him to others.
"Cousin," Luo Qian was very friendly to this beautiful and gentle little cousin, and had long regarded her as one of his own. He said, "Cousin Qiu's martial arts are truly magnificent. Is he the best in Dingjing? No, no, no, he should be the best in Mingqi, right? My eldest and second brothers are both outstanding in martial arts here, yet they were still defeated by Cousin Qiu."
Luo Tan, who had been flipping through the album, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He bit the orange in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Luo Qian: "Are you stupid? You are so ignorant. Don't even mention that I'm from the Luo family, and don't even mention that I'm your sister. It's really shameful."
Luo Tan and Luo Qian, the two siblings, bickered all day long, and Shen Miao was used to it. Sure enough, Luo Qian was unconvinced when he heard it and said, "What do you know? How am I ignorant? Are you saying that Cousin Qiu isn't number one?"
