Chapter 234 A girl like this would definitely not easily reveal her girlish infatuation.
Xie Yun explained, “The journey is long. My second brother and I will ride horses, but you and your fifth brother should take the carriage; it will be more comfortable.”
Sheng Sheng hesitated a bit, not because she wanted to ride a horse, but because a carriage was much more comfortable than riding a horse, and she would definitely prefer to ride in a carriage.
But won't it waste time?
"Hmm, it won't cause any delays." Seeing the little dumpling's hesitation, Xie Yunchuan said, "Let's go ahead first, no rush."
Since that's the case, Sheng Sheng didn't refuse.
"Oh, okay."
Zijuan was very quick-witted. When she learned that Shengsheng and Xie Yunqi had changed their travel plans to travel by carriage, she immediately started putting things that might be needed into the carriage with Chunhua and Qiuyue. She also put the small bundles that she had packed for Shengsheng and Xie Yunqi into the carriage.
Xiao Quanzi was still recovering from his serious injuries and didn't have another servant with him, so Sheng Sheng simply lent him the old cat and the old fish for the time being.
Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunqi rode in the same carriage, with Lao Mao taking over as the driver.
Zijuan, Chunhua, and Qiuyue rode in the second carriage, with Laoyu acting as the driver.
The group busily packed their things. Xie Yunqi had already found out about some local delicacies in Haijin and was excitedly asking Xie Yunyang if they could go and eat them.
Xie Yun nodded and said, "I was just taking you guys to relax. If you want to go, then go. Just take good care of Sheng Sheng."
Xie Yunqi was overjoyed: "Great!"
Xie Yunjia hugged the stone, feigning sadness: "Sigh, you're so lucky to be able to go to Haijin to eat delicious food. Unlike me, you've all left, and I'm all alone in this huge hunting ground."
Xie Yun-yang laughed and said, "Royal sister, I must say something fair. It was clearly you who didn't want to go with us, so how can you blame your fifth brother?"
Xie Yunqi made a face: "Exactly, exactly."
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, Xie Yunchuan and the Shi siblings were also having a friendly conversation on the other side.
Xie Yunchuan knew she had gone to see Li Manyan, and casually asked, "How did the chat go?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng couldn't control her expression. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Then, she sneakily leaned closer to him, covered herself with her hand, and whispered, "Brother, if you really want to know how Sister Yan Yan is feeling today, you should go and see her yourself."
Xie Yunchuan frowned, his expression momentarily blank, secretly pleased with himself for being so clever, having seen through his brother's little scheme in one go.
Hehe, it doesn't matter whether he goes to the bonfire party or not, she already saw through her brother's boyish feelings.
Sheng Sheng's increasingly sly smile left Xie Yunchuan feeling helpless. Xie Yunchuan raised his hand and gently gave her a flick on the forehead.
What are you thinking about?
Xie Yunchuan stood up and urged Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunqi, who were still chatting, "Are you done yet? Let's go."
Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan can ride horses and leave at any time; the rest of the things will be taken care of by someone else.
Xie Yunyang quickly replied, "Second Brother, let's go."
"Um."
Xie Yunchuan, with a stern face, gave Thirteen a few important instructions, looking quite serious.
Only Sheng Sheng knows that people only pretend to be busy when they're embarrassed.
Hehe, she figured it out again without me even noticing.
My brother definitely likes Sister Yan Yan; at the very least, he has feelings for her—that much is undeniable.
but……
Sheng Sheng felt a little worried. Why did it seem like her older sister Yan Yan didn't have any special feelings for her brother?
Sheng Sheng thinks that Li Manyan treats Xie Yunchuan the same way she treats her girlfriends—she considers him a friend.
This morning she even mentioned to Li Manyan that she was going to Haijin with her brothers, but Li Manyan didn't specifically ask Xie Yunchuan about it.
Hmm... or perhaps it's just because Sister Yan Yan didn't show it?
After all, these two people do have some similarities in personality on some level.
Both of them are very composed, and a girl like Sister Yan Yan would definitely not easily show her girlish infatuation.
Yes, that's right, that must be it.
Sheng Sheng nodded in complete agreement, "That must be it!"
Xie Yunqi came over and called her to get into the carriage. Just then, he overheard her talking to herself and asked, "What do you mean it must be like this?"
Sheng Sheng blinked, her eyes crinkling with a clever glint in them: "Nothing, Sheng Sheng just meant that the snacks in Haijin must be delicious!"
Xie Yunqi got excited when this was mentioned: "That's right, little sister! Let me tell you, the Crown Prince said that Haijin Goubuli steamed buns are absolutely amazing, famous all over the country! I heard that Goubuli steamed buns have thin skin and a lot of filling, and the soup in the meat filling is made from old hen soup that has been simmered for a full eight hours. They're so delicious! This afternoon, as soon as we get to Haijin, let's not worry about anything else, let's go eat five or six baskets of steamed buns!"
"Okay, okay, Sheng Sheng still wants to eat shrimp and crab roe filling." Sheng Sheng was very supportive.
Xie Yunqi waved his hand with great gusto, exuding an air of nonchalance: "Eat, eat it all, eat a whole package of nourishing food!"
He was both amused and exasperated, but he also replied nonchalantly, "Mmm, eat!"
Xie Yunjia was extremely helpless and walked over: "Still eating here? They've all left, aren't you going to follow them?"
When the two turned around, all they could see were the dust kicked up by Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang's horses.
Zijuan and the others had already packed their things and were waiting beside the carriage.
"Princess, we can set off now."
"Okay, thank you everyone for your hard work."
Sheng Sheng hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over, but turned back halfway. She kissed Shi Tou and then Xie Yunjia: "Your Highness and Shi Tou are waiting for Sheng Sheng to come back. If Your Highness wants anything to eat, just send someone to tell me, and I promise to bring it back to Your Highness exactly as it was."
Xie Yunjia was delighted to receive a kiss from the little dumpling, but she still pretended to be disgusted: "After kissing this little rascal, you come and kiss me again. You're so dirty."
"Hehe, stones aren't dirty at all." Sheng Sheng pouted. "But, does Your Highness really not want to go to Haijin with us?"
Xie Yunjia replied without hesitation: "Of course I won't go. I don't care much about food. Besides the local specialties, what other place in Haijin can compare to the capital? It's not easy to leave the palace. Without my mother nagging me to practice the zither all day, I'll naturally spend all my time sleeping. I'm too lazy to move."
Xie Yunjia wasn't lying. Yesterday, when Shengsheng and Xie Yunqi decided to go to Haijin together, they had already asked Xie Yunjia once, and Xie Yunjia really didn't want to travel far.
She'd rather lie on her soft, warm bed and pet a tiger than have that kind of energy.
"Alright, go on." Xie Yunjia gestured with her chin towards her carriage. "Your fifth brother is already sitting in your pink carriage, so stop dawdling."
