Chapter 569: Visit Jiangnan

After breakfast, Yue Ruyan, who felt bored, took the initiative to ask Chen Mo to spar with her.

Well, a serious sparring.

In the courtyard, the two of them fought back and forth, and Xiao Yunxi, who was slightly weaker, stared blankly at the side.

Chen Mo only used 30% of his strength, not to defeat Yue Ruyan, but to train her.

Since his cultivation could not be improved in a short time, he could only become stronger by improving his martial arts.

Yue Ruyan did not have the same trick as Chen Mo, so he could only practice step by step.

The warm sun was high in the sky. Xiao Yunxi raised her hand to block the sunlight. Seeing that the two had stopped to rest, she said, "Husband, Sister Ruyan, you finally came to Jiangnan. It's a pity to stay at home all the time. It's morning now. The shops and vendors in Qinhuai City have started to do business. I will take you to the city for a stroll."

Chen Mo came to Jiangnan for the only purpose of visiting Xiao Yunxi's elders. The mission had been completed. There was really nothing to do during the day. Naturally, he nodded to the concubine's invitation: "Okay, I just want to stroll around Jiangnan."

"I'll go change clothes." Yue Ruyan said.

Chen Mo and Xiao Yunxi waited outside.

Soon, Yue Ruyan changed her clothes and came out.

The clothes Yue Ruyan changed into were the ones that surprised Chen Mo when he first entered the Anguo Mansion.

The upper body was a white long-sleeved short shirt, but the difference was that the clothes were buttoned, not revealing the lower abdomen and collarbone.

She wore black loose trousers with golden embroidery of auspicious beasts, which made her look mysterious and noble. She wore a pair of black boots.

She had a white veil on her face.

Chen Mo was stunned: "Ruyan, why are you wearing a veil?"

"When I entered the city yesterday, I saw many women wearing veils. Isn't this a local custom? I follow the host's wishes." Yue Ruyan said.

"That's an unmarried girl. She has to wear a veil when she goes out to show that she is a lady." Xiao Yunxi smiled.

Jiangnan has a strong literary style, which makes everyone from noble families to ordinary people relatively open. For example, unmarried girls have to wear veils when they go out. If they meet a man they like outside, they can reveal their veils to the other party. This is a way to express affection, and the other party can also know it.

Like when Chen Mo entered the city yesterday, many girls did not wear veils and showed their true faces to Chen Mo, which was also regarded as expressing affection to Chen Mo.

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan was about to take it off, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's not stipulated that only unmarried girls can wear this veil, what are you afraid of." Chen Mo smiled.

Yue Ruyan thought about it and decided to wear it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Chen Mo.

It's not that she is narcissistic. When she was in Longyou, if she went out alone without a guard, someone would come to chat with her and want to get to know her.

"Then I'll cover it too." Seeing that Yue Ruyan had tied it, Xiao Yunxi didn't think of it as a conspicuous bag.

Just after leaving the courtyard, a soft voice sounded in the corridor.

"Brother Mo, Aunt, Sister Ruyan, are you going out?"

Chen Mo looked over and saw a pure girl coming over.

She was wearing a bright pink long skirt with a light yellow cardigan, showing her gentleness and tranquility. The light skirt swayed with her steps, and she was wearing a pair of light green embroidered shoes on her feet, which further highlighted her freshness.

She came to a position about half a meter in front of Chen Mo and stopped, staring at Chen Mo with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

Her face was beautiful, her skin was as white as cream, and her beauty was beyond description.

Seeing Chen Mo also staring at her, the girl shyly lowered her head, and her slender hands lifted a strand of hair in front of her temples to the back of her ears with a little embarrassment, looking at her toes, and pursed her pink lips.

Unlike Xiaolu's outgoing and lively appearance, the girl was introverted and quiet.

"Xiao Ya, we are going to go shopping on the street, do you want to go with us?" Xiao Yunxi invited.

Xiao Ya's eyebrows curved, and she looked up at Chen Mo: "Brother Mo, can I go with you?"

"Of course, it's lively and lively when there are so many people." Chen Mo didn't ask Xiao Ya why she came, and said with a smile.

Xiao Ya's eyes lit up slightly, and she said softly: "Then I'll trouble Brother Mo to take care of it."

After that, she bowed to Chen Mo.

She came here at this time because her mother asked her to come and get close to Brother Mo. She also had this idea in her heart, but if no one supported her, she would be embarrassed to come here.

Fortunately, Brother Mo did not ask her why she came, which made her feel relieved.

The four of them left the Xiao family's ancestral home together.

"My Lord, Madam" Sun Meng brought his personal soldiers and waited outside the mansion at dawn. When he saw Chen Mo coming out, he hurried forward to salute. After nodding to Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan, he looked at the girl with a light yellow veil behind the three people and was a little confused.

Although the three women were all covered with veils, Sun Meng could still tell which two were the madams.

Chen Mo did not say much to Sun Meng. After a long time, the latter naturally knew Xiao Ya's identity.

After learning that the four were going out shopping, Sun Meng hurriedly arranged a group of personal soldiers to accompany them.

Chen Mo asked Sun Meng to be low-key. After all, they were going shopping and playing. There was no need for too many guards. One team would be enough. Just follow behind.

On the street, Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan walked on the left and right sides of Chen Mo. Xiao Ya walked alone behind and looked at the backs of Chen Mo and the other two, with a little disappointment in her eyes.

But she was smarter. She walked quickly to Xiao Yunxi, hugged her arm, and said softly, "Aunt, where are we going to play?"

The two of them were close together, and their movements were very intimate, which just relieved the psychological embarrassment that Xiao Ya might cause if she suddenly came forward.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's go around the city first. I haven't been back for a long time. Xiaoya, do you know where there are fun things to do in the city?"

"I don't know where there are fun things to do, but there is a peach blossom pastry in the west of the city that tastes very good. It's just that it's June now, I don't know if it's still there." Although Xiao Ya has been staying in Qinhuai City, she doesn't go out much.

"Let's go and have a look." Chen Mo suggested.

The four of them walked towards the west of the city, and Sun Meng and a team of personal soldiers followed behind.

The so-called peach blossom pastry is a snack made by mashing peach blossoms into mud, mixing it with flour, and adding the store's exclusive secret recipe.

Although it is already June, the store will pick a lot of peach blossoms every time they are in full bloom, store them in their own ice cellar, and sell them in limited quantities, enough to sell for a year.

Business is average.

Although it tastes really good, it is expensive. Just four pieces of peach blossom cakes cost one or two taels of silver.

Even in the wealthy Jiangnan, there are not so many rich people.

However, for a big family like the Xiao family, this is just a small amount of money. They bought a lot of them and let the personal soldiers following behind carry them.
