Chapter 106 A Sweet Smile
After the greeting, the carriage immediately became quiet again.
Xu Shuyao looked at Xiao Mo. He was wearing a white robe with mountain and river patterns today, and his black hair was tied up on top of his head with a jade hairpin.
If you ignore those overly sharp eyes, he looks like an elegant and noble young man.
Xu Shuyao lowered her eyes and asked, "Is the prince taking Shuyao to see someone?"
Xiao Mo remained silent. Feeling the other party's obvious gaze, Xu Shuyao could only raise her head again, and saw the other party open his lips and say, "Otherwise? What else do you want to do?"
His tone was light and he looked very casual.
Xu Shuyao: “…”
Even if I want to do something, I won't go with you.
After she muttered this in her heart, she suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
Whatever!
With the old lady there, he couldn't just sell himself out.
Silence is always hard.
Xu Shuyao opened the curtain a little and looked out. The carriage left the city and continued heading north. In the distance was a flat plain.
With the shadow of the last time she rode a horse, Xu Shuyao was shocked: "Riding a horse again today?"
Xiao Mo nodded confidently. Seeing her unwilling look, he added, "I'm the one riding, not you."
Xu Shuyao hummed.
That's good.
After a while, their carriage finally stopped, and there was indeed a stretch of grassland in front of them.
"Commander!"
Xu Shuyao looked up and saw a man in a light blue brocade robe walking towards her.
The other party saw that there was a delicate young lady standing behind Xiao Mo and did not step forward for a while.
Xiao Mo waved to him, "Come here!"
After saying this, the man left.
Xu Shuyao: “…”
You should at least introduce yourself!
Looking up, she saw that the man seemed a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to say, "Sir, you can call me Miss Xu!"
The man in front of him immediately smiled and said, "My surname is Luo, and my given name is Yan Jin."
The grassland is vast and boundless, full of green.
Xu Shuyao looked up and saw Xiao Mo's guard holding the horse for him. The man jumped up and quickly got on the horse.
He seemed to glance over here, then galloped out on his horse.
So fast!
She stood there and smiled.
"Miss Xu, do you want to take a walk?" Luo Yanjin was embarrassed for a moment, and then she immediately adjusted her composure, perhaps because she thought of something.
Xu Shuyao thought it was nice to take a walk. She didn't know how to ride a horse, but in such a place with green grass and a wide view, taking a walk was also a good choice.
Then Luo Yanjin introduced himself. From his words, Xu Shuyao quickly learned that he was a fourth-rank deputy commander of the Beijing Guards and was just in his early twenties.
He has an elderly mother at home and he has not yet married.
When talking about getting married, Luo Yanjin smiled shyly and looked at the young lady beside him.
Xu Shuyao knew from the beginning that Xiao Mo was looking for her, so she dressed up carefully when she went out today.
She was wearing a light apricot dress at this time, with a silk flower of the same color pinned in her hair. She was standing on a green meadow, like a flower facing the morning sun.
Luo Yanjin couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Since the other party had introduced herself, Xu Shuyao had to talk about her own situation, her relationship with the Chengguo Mansion, and the fact that she had a younger brother.
She was very honest and the man in front of her did seem suitable.
The family is simple and everyone is of equal status. It is not one of those duke or marquis families that requires particular attention to one's family background.
He has excellent abilities and is not bad looking.
Thinking of this, Xu Shuyao looked at the other person again.
The young man is quite tall, with a straight face and eyebrows. He looks calm and a little shrewd.
Xu Shuyao saw that he also looked over here several times, and felt a little happy for a moment.
She is not a person who is modest without reason. Xu Shuyao is still somewhat confident about her appearance.
After discovering that this person was really capable, she smiled at the right moment when the other person looked at her.
This smile was not as playful and cunning as her usual smile. It was a shy and timid smile, like a delicate flower reflected in the water, graceful and elegant with a hint of the tenderness and affection of a little woman.
When Luo Yanjin saw this, there was indeed a different look in her eyes.
Xu Shuyao saw that the other person's earlobes had turned red, and she felt amused for a moment.
In the Chengguo Mansion, when facing her cousins, she would hide her shortcomings as much as possible and try to reduce her presence.
Xu Shuyao is not unaware that her appearance is seductive, but she is very clear about it.
However, for people whose status is too different from their own, being good-looking can be a disaster.
But the person in front of him was different. He had no family and lived in the capital with his elderly mother.
Moreover, I am already independent and can make all the decisions about my marriage without being influenced by my parents or relatives.
That's why Xu Shuyao doesn't mind showing her good side to the other person.
She couldn't live in Duke Cheng's mansion forever.
In that case, not only would Old Lady Xiao be worried, but even her aunt Chen would try every possible means to arrange a marriage for her. Even if it meant being a concubine or a second wife, she would probably not be able to refuse.
Xu Shuyao didn't want to wait until that day.
If Xiao Mo has some conscience, I hope he can help me sincerely.
After Xu Shuyao threw this coquettish glance, she clearly felt that the man next to her was not speaking in the right tone.
She took the initiative to suggest going to the hillside ahead to take a look.
Looking from Xu Shuyao's direction, the grass on the slope was not as deep as under her feet, so that her embroidered shoes were stained with moisture, and it looked pink and white over there.
If things go as expected, there should be a lot of wild flowers.
That's where serious men and women talk about love!
The two of them walked up the hillside. Qiao Wei and Hui Xiang did not follow them, but they saw their master walking hand in hand with a man from afar, and they felt a little happy for a moment.
Could it be that the prince brought the master here to see me?
Wuying was injured on the way back to Beijing, but now he has recovered and is standing not far from them.
Seeing the two little maids dreaming, he couldn't help but sneer, and now he looked at the direction where the prince left anxiously.
Xu Shuyao and the fourth-rank commander-in-chief had a pretty good chat.
There were indeed some pink and tender little flowers growing on the hillside, dotted among the green meadow, looking very beautiful.
Even the man next to her praised her: "Miss Xu has a really good eye!"
Xu Shuyao smiled shyly, "Shuyao is also guessing, it's just that you are lucky."
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries, and then began to praise each other.
One of them is sweet-talking and the other is good at supporting the main role, so the atmosphere becomes more lively.
As we were talking, we suddenly heard a whip sound coming from the other side of the hillside.
Xu Shuyao turned around and saw Xiao Mo riding a horse slowly coming from behind the slope.
