Wei Lai followed Xu Yunian through the winding corridor in the courtyard of the Xu Mansion again.

But Wei Lai did not have the first time he arrived, he sighed at the high cost and luxury of this Xu Mansion garden. The steps under his feet were hurried, and he followed Xu Yunian almost all the way to trot, running towards the embroidered moon tower. And what he didn't notice was that after hearing what Xu Yunian said, his obviously anxious expression was caught in the eyes of the seventh year behind him, the man who was still trying to follow Wei Lai all the way at first, after entering the Xu Mansion, he slowed down and followed behind the two leisurely, he looked at the backs of Wei Lai and Xu Yunian trotting away all the way, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, but there was a touch of bitterness in the depths of the smile.

When Wei Lai broke into the Xiuyue Building in the depths of the garden with Xu Yunian, the banquet had been served, and the back of the side of the room was also full of dazzling gifts, most of which were wrapped in festive red paper. On the first seat on the right, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting, and behind him stood the Ah Cheng who was always dressed in orange......

The arrival of Wei Lai and Xu Yunian, who pushed the door in extremely roughly, obviously interrupted Yaxing, who was hanging from the river.

Everyone focused their attention on Wei Lai for the first time, and Yuan Sleevechun was even more pale, and the look on his face was gloomy for a moment, but in an instant, his usual warm smile like a spring breeze was piled up on his face.

"Brother Wei is here too?" he arched his hand towards Wei Lai, looking familiar.

It's a pity that Wei Lai was deaf to His Royal Highness the Prince's enthusiastic concern, and he walked straight to Xu Yue's side. The girl also looked up at him at that time, and caught a glimpse of Wei Lai's arrival, and a smile suddenly bloomed on the girl's calm face like stagnant water: "You are here." ”

She asked, her voice soft, no tumbling mood swings, no scorching heat of reunion after a long absence, just calm as water. It is like a wife waiting for her husband to return at home, quiet and beautiful, soft as water.

Such an appearance fell in Yuan Zhichun's eyes, making the smile that he had just forcibly piled up on his face almost collapse at that moment. And Ah Cheng, who was behind him, also frowned slightly at that time.

"Well, it's late. Wei Lai nodded, and then sat down beside her, with such a casual but familiar appearance, which directly declared some sovereignty to some people.

Xu Yunian secretly gave Wei Lai a thumbs up, and said in his heart that although the brother-in-law that his sister was looking for looked inconspicuous on weekdays, he was still reliable at the critical moment.

Xu Yuanzhen, who was sitting on the first seat, narrowed his eyes, revealing a cunning look like an old fox, but he saw the changes in everyone's faces since Wei came, he recalled everything he had just seen, and looked at Wei Lai, and said enthusiastically: "Wei Xian's nephew is here." ”

"I've seen Commander Xu. Wei Lai bowed back.

"It's time to give birth to a break, just call me Uncle Xu, I was a close friend with your father back then. Xu smiled heroically, and his eyes showed a look of remembrance that was difficult to distinguish between true and false: "You must know that your father and I often talked about candles and nights, from the customs of the world to the way of learning and benefiting the people. ”

Wei Lai didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the old fox's bowl, but in line with the principle of not changing everything, Wei Lai simply nodded: "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng smiled for a while, he stroked the thick beard on his chin again, turned his head to look at Yuan Sleevechun, who was embarrassed because he was hanging aside, and then said: "Since Wei Xian's nephew is not an outsider, His Royal Highness does not need to be restrained, and continue to say what he said." ”

Yuan Sleevechun's face was not good-looking, he frowned, and only after a few breaths did he take the words handed by Xu Trap, and said, "Commander Xu said that he was laughing. ”

"I have already spoken to the commander about what I want to say next, I have admired Miss Xu's talent and virtue for a long time, and it is not a whim to come to propose marriage today, and I also ask Commander Xu to agree. ”

"What's this?" Xu Trap squinted his eyes and smiled even more when he heard this, he muttered like this, but he didn't respond to Yuan Zhichun's question at the first time, but glanced at Wei Lai meaningfully from the corner of his eye.

It's just that Wei Lai was sitting motionless next to Xu Yue, and even had a lot of leisure to pick up the tea in front of him and take a sip in front of everyone. Xu Yunian, who was behind him, was so anxious by his appearance that he couldn't figure out, and the little good impression he had for Wei Lai disappeared in that instant, he stretched out his hand and gently stabbed Wei Lai, and whispered: "What are you still doing in a daze! That guy wants to marry my sister?!"

Yuan Zhichun also understood people, and his eyes also fell on Wei Lai at that time, and at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have lost the mind to continue to disguise, and the cold threat in his gaze at Wei Lai was almost overflowing. Then Yuan Sleeve Chun glanced sideways at the black-armored armor soldier standing behind him, and the armor soldier understood, so he stepped out at that time, walked in front of Xu Trapping, took out a document from his arms and handed it over.

Xu took the thing, opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said, "This is what Zhou Lao wrote?"

"Exactly. Yuan Sleeve Chun was very satisfied with the surprise and horror on Xu Yuanzhen's face at this moment, he nodded and said: "This thing is the matchmaker written by Zhou Laowei, the first assistant of the cabinet, he is entangled in things at the moment, and he has no time to come here, but he will come in person in a few days to preside over the family affairs between me and Miss Xu." ”

......

If Jiang Huanshui is an important minister of Dayan, holding the military and political power of a state, no one in the Dayan court can stand out. And there is only one person who can equal, or even surpass, him in terms of qualifications.

This person is Yuan Zhichun and Xu Trapping, the old Zhou in their mouths at this moment.

Zhou Lao's name is Zhou Xiangmin, first for the last emperor of the previous dynasty as an official, and then by Taizu Yuan Yuan, but in his early thirties he was promoted to the cabinet of the second assistant, after the first emperor Yuan Yan, and now Yuan Tong, has been a cabinet elder for 60 years, including from Yuan Yan to the throne to the present 50 years, are ranked in the cabinet first assistant. After the three emperors were all important ministers, and their protégés were all over the Great Yan court, even if they were over eighty years old now, they still held the lifeblood of Great Yan. It is precisely because of the existence of this old man that the relatives and henchmen of the Jin family, who are as powerful as the Jin family, have not completely controlled the government of the Dayan Dynasty even today.

His matchmaking is, in a sense, more convincing than a decree. After all, in this northern realm that follows the principle that the master is the father, half of the officials in the Dayan officialdom can be regarded as this old man's student, and his prestige can be imagined.

This thing was shot, Yuan Sleeve Chun secretly felt that "the victory is in hand", he looked sideways at Wei Lai beside him again, although he was smiling, but the laughter was full of murder and threat.

Wei Lai slowly put down the teacup in his hand at this time, still not in a hurry to show his attitude, but turned to look at the girl beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

The girl looked sideways, blinked, and said quite playfully: "Not bad." ”

Wei Lai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "But I don't think it's good." ”

"Why?" the girl asked again, a smile on her lips as she caught a glimpse of the boy's furrowed brow.

"He didn't mean it. Wei Lai said again.

The two of them did not deliberately shy away from anything, and the content during it naturally reached the ears of everyone present, including the prince Yuan Zhichun.

"How can you see it?" Yuan Sleevechun's face became more and more ugly, but the conversation between the two continued, and no one cared about his state of mind at the moment.

Wei Lai first glanced at the pile of dazzling gifts piled up in the corner of the room: "More dowry." ”

glanced at the document in Xu Trap's hand again: "No matter how virtuous and respected the matchmaker." ”

Finally, he glanced at Yuan Sleevechun, who was purple-faced: "No matter how nice the promise." ”

"But there is nothing about your future, in the end, it is just a rootless duckweed, a pavilion in the sky, just beautiful, only beautiful, and nothing else. ”

"Brother Wei!" Yuan Zhichun suddenly lowered his gaze when he heard this, he lowered his voice and stared at Wei, his voice was cold, like a ghost.

"There is a way to be a fair lady, a gentleman, if Brother Wei also admires Miss Xu, he will naturally understand. You can also bring a dowry, invite a matchmaker, and ask Commander Xu for it. This is the way of an upright gentleman, and how is this clever sophistry and false tongue different from that of a woman?

Will not Ling Zun be disgraced under the spring......

This sentence, with only ten words, made Wei Lai turn his head to look at Yuan Sleevechun, at that time, the eyes of the young man who was more than twice as small as him suddenly narrowed, and the cold light in his eyes flickered in the narrow slit of his eyes.

He stared at him like this, just for a few breaths, but for Yuan Zhichun, it was as long as a few spring and autumn.

"Your Highness has spoken of the way of a gentleman. ”

The son of a criminal had a few questions to ask. Wei Lai stood up and asked with heavy eyes, "What is a gentleman?"

"This ......" Yuan Sleeve Chun was shocked by Wei Lai's momentum at first, and secretly felt disliked, but this time he was asked by Wei Lai, and he didn't react for a while, and he didn't reply for a long time.

"The sage has words, the gentleman is frank, his words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, and he is a villain. Your Highness should feel that it is okay?" But Wei Lai did not give him time to think carefully, so he said again.

Probably disrupted by Wei Lai's successive questions, Yuan Sleevechun was also a little flustered, he nodded woodenly, and responded: "There should be no ......."

"Since Your Highness agrees with what this sage said, then ask Your Highness again. Wei Lai interrupted his words again and said: "His Royal Highness once said to the grass people that he wanted to save the Dayan Society from fire and water, open up a prosperous world for the Li people, and continue to learn for the saints, but this is made up by the grass people?"

"I've had this ambition since I was a child, so I don't need anyone to make it up for me. Yuan Chongchun raised his eyebrows and responded.

"Then since His Royal Highness claims to be a gentleman, he has this grand wish. The woman of the Hu family died in Huangquan because Her Highness borrowed the token by mistake, she kept to herself all her life, and she was the widow of the loyal martyrs of Sanxiao, and the new tomb was erected, isn't it worth it for Her Highness to bow down to her grave a few times, thinking that she would atone for her sins?!" Wei Lai's voice widened suddenly, and he stared at Yuan Sleevechun with angry eyes and asked loudly.

"You ......!" Yuan Zhichun had never been reprimanded like this, and his face was suddenly ugly.

"Don't say a gentleman, I'm afraid that it was the people of the market who did such an evil act, and I don't dare to be full of sages and gentlemen anymore, but I don't feel guilty. In this way, it seems that it is the grass people who humiliate the ancestors, or is it His Highness that makes the soul of Sanxiao Heroes feel cold?!" Wei Lai did not give Yuan Sleeve Chun a chance to sort out his thoughts and ridicule each other, he continued to reprimand angrily: "Besides, His Royal Highness keeps admiring Yue'er's virtue and wants to take her as a wife, so what about the grass people after this?"

Yuan Zhichun knew that the previous conversation had come to an end, so he hurriedly gathered his mind at this moment and wanted to deal with it calmly: "Naturally, it is to raise the case with eyebrows, share weal and woe, and never give up." This oath can show the sun and the moon, and if it is violated......"

"Fart!" But before he could say that, he was interrupted by Wei Lai in a very rude manner. "A son of the Tianque realm can make His Highness grovel and not distinguish between right and wrong, Yue'er can be returned to the closed disciple of the Meng Hanging Pot of the Yuan Palace, he is close to the dust and sword, and the overall situation of His Highness is the most important character, doesn't he have to sweep the couch to greet him?"

"Okay!" Wei Lai's words can be described as heart-wrenching, and loud, and the voice fell, and Xu Yunian on the side couldn't help but make friends loudly. However, just when he was about to stand up and cheer for the "brother-in-law" he identified, the sharp gaze handed by Xu Cheng from the first seat suddenly made Xu Gongzi die down and sit back in a gloomy manner.

"You...... You ......" Yuan Zhichun was so angry by Wei Lai's repeated questions and cynicism, he stared angrily for a long time, but he couldn't say half a word of rebuttal, and at the end: "What can you do?

When these words came out, Yuan Zhichun had been completely defeated in this debate, don't say Xu Yue, even Xu Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment when he heard the words. He turned his head and focused on Wei Lai, expecting that the young man in front of him could give him some satisfactory answers.

Wei Lai smiled, he looked down at Xu Yue, and Xu Yue was also looking up at him at that time.

The eyes of the two met, although Xu Yue's face was still calm, but Wei Lai saw something different in her eyes.

"My father said that if you have righteousness in your heart, you have nothing to fear. Wei Lai stared at Xu Yue and said softly, word by word: "If Your Highness doesn't have the courage at all, how can you talk about marriage?" As for whether I dare or not, didn't I send the head of the Great Prince of Song to His Highness?"

Yuan Sleevechun's face was bruised, he stared at Wei Lai, gritting his teeth, but this time he couldn't speak for a long time.

However, the black-armored armor soldier behind him who was standing side by side with Ah Cheng frowned when he saw this scene, and finally couldn't help but step forward and came to Yuan Zhichun's side.

The armor soldier is over forty years old, his breath is restrained, and his every move is faintly involved in the meaning of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, unless he gallops on the battlefield, the person who walks out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood will definitely not have such courage.

As he walked out, a cold qi machine enveloped Wei Lai at that time, Wei Lai only felt that there was suddenly Mount Tai on his shoulders, and for a while, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the qi in his body was disordered.

"Boy, your father was much sharper than you back then. ”

"But what's going on with him? What's the matter? I want to see your father in such a hurry?" the man said, and then looked up at Xu Jinzhen, who was sitting on the first seat, squinted his eyes and said: "Commander Xu is also going back more and more, this man should marry and the woman should get married, both the words of the matchmaker, he will also arrive in Ningzhou on the day, and explain the life of his parents, whether Commander Xu allows it or not, just one sentence, why do you need to ask a child whose milk has not dried up?"

"Do you think that Lord Shoufu's matchmaker words are not sincere enough, or is the order of His Majesty the Emperor's parents not worthy of the daughter of the Xu Commander's family?"

This man is obviously much older and spicier than Yuan Sleevechun, and he hit the nail on the head in just a few words - Yuan Sleevechun doesn't care if he can stay with Xu Yue for a long time, and he doesn't even care if this family affair is harmonious and beautiful, as long as he can marry Xu Yue, it is enough to forcibly tie the Xu family to his chariot, and the man was obviously instructed by a master before he came here, since it is not good, then he will salute first and then soldier, and directly force the Xu family to comply.

Sure enough, after Zhou Lao and His Majesty's high hats were buttoned down, Xu Trap, who was still watching the play just now, also changed his face and looked slightly ugly.

Wei Lai also frowned, and was about to say something more.

Bang!

But at this moment, the door of Xiuyue Building was suddenly slammed open, and a thing flew in from outside the door, and a piece of it fell straight on the desk in front of Xu Cheng at an astonishing speed.

This change came extremely suddenly, even Xu Trapping, who had the highest cultivation in the field, and the black-armored armor soldier were unaware, and they didn't come back to their senses until the thing fell. The door was wide open, and the night breeze outside the house was whirring into the embroidered moon building, and the candle flame in the door was swaying, but there was no one outside the door.

Xu Jinzhen's heart was shocked, and he cautiously looked down at the thing that had fallen in front of him—it was a book with a red title page. On the title page, there is the word "marriage book", and the pen is old and spicy, like a dragon and a snake. Xu Fuzhen frowned, secretly feeling that the handwriting was a little familiar, he subconsciously reached out to open the marriage book, and looked at it fixedly, at the same time, an old voice came from the dark night outside the house, and the words on the fold of the book came one by one.

"Men should get married, and women should get married. ”

"The Xu family has a daughter, and the Wei family has a son. ”

"I've known each other since childhood, and I can be described as a childhood sweetheart. ”

"Talented men and women are beautiful, and they can be said to be golden boys and girls. ”

"The love is sincere, and it can be called a perfect match. ”

"Such a good match made in heaven, a good couple with a phoenix singing together, why not choose a good day and an auspicious day, and marry a man and a woman. ”

Since then, the two surnames have been married, signed a contract, and the good relationship is forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, it is appropriate to have a room for IKEA; I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum. ”

"Isn't it beautiful? ”
