Chapter 427: Attack of the Turks (1)
They settled down in the Luo family just like that.
Shen Xin and Shen Qiu weren’t lazy people. Every day, they trained on the simple drill ground outside the Luo mansion.
Luo Xueyan was busy bringing Shen Miao to visit her old friends. Spring City was where she grew up, so naturally she had many friends here.
At first, everyone served the delicate young lady from the capital very well. She ate the most delicate food and wore the most delicate material. In the past, those daughters of officials who came to Spring City from the capital had a really bad temper. Everyone was afraid that they couldn’t satisfy Shen Miao’s demand. Unexpectedly, after living for a while, they realized that their worries were unnecessary. Shen Miao had integrated very well in Spring City and did not need anything special. There would occasionally be hail here. When Shen Miao saw it, she was just a little curious and was not afraid.
As time passed, the younglings in the Luo family gradually let down their guard against this cousin. Among the four juniors of the Luo family, Luo Ling and Luo Sa had already started to take up their posts in the army. They rarely saw each other. At home, Luo Tan and Luo Qian spent the most time together with Shen Miao. When Shen Miao gave her a western mirror, Luo Tan shook hands with Shen Miao and made peace. As for Luo Qian, he was lively and was like a grown-up version of Su Minglang. He pestered Shen Miao all day long to tell him the stories that happened in the capital.
In Spring City, Shen Miao did not have to be wary of Fu Xiuyi. She was much more relaxed and treated Luo Qian as her brother.
On this day, Luo Qian and Luo Tan came to see Shen Miao. Spring City was not like the capital where one could spend years shopping around. Spring City was small. After shopping for a few days, they had pretty much explored every nook and cranny of this place. Shen Miao stayed in the mansion. Luo Qian and Luo Tan must be bored, so they came to talk to her.
As Luo Qian ate the snacks made for Shen Miao by the kitchen, he said, “Yesterday, I went to the drill ground to see Cousin Qiu practice. Cousin Qiu’s martial arts skill is very impressive. Also, I can’t even withstand a few moves from Guard Mo. Cousin, can you get Cousin Qiu to teach me a few moves?”
Shen Miao smiled. “If you want to learn, just ask him. He will be more than happy to help.”
“Really?” Luo Qian immediately became happy. Most of the young masters in the capital were arrogant. However, Luo Qian was different. He was sincere and innocent.
“Cousin.” Luo Qian was also very friendly to his good-looking cousin and had long treated her as one of his own and said, “Cousin Qiu’s martial arts are really good. Is he the number one person in the capital? No, no, no, he should be the number one person in Ming Qi, right? Eldest Brother and Second Brother are both outstanding in martial arts, but they are not as good as Cousin Qiu.”
Luo Tan, who had been flipping through the painting book at the side, finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She bit the orange in her mouth and rolled her eyes at Luo Qian. “Are you stupid? You’re so ignorant. Don’t say that I’m your sister. How embarrassing.”
Shen Miao was used to Luo Tan and Luo Qian bickering all day long. As expected, when Luo Qian heard that, he said indignantly, “What do you know? How am I ignorant? Do you mean that Cousin Qiu isn’t the number one?”
