They talked for too long that night, but both of them got to know each other to a certain extent and were willing to give their trust to each other.

The next day, the prince of the Xue family went to the palace of the protector of the king as a guest, and the rumor that he was violently blown away spread throughout Yanjing, saying that the prince of the Xue family went to see the county lord of Qinde with joy, but was angry with the county lord and came back, and some people said that it was because the county lord deliberately showed affection in front of the prince of the Xue family.

Speaking of this Xue family's son, some people may not be familiar with it, the Xue family that everyone is familiar with in Yanjing has always only had a high-ranking Xue Shizhang, and Xue Shijing, who only cares about looking for flowers and asking willows, but why is Xue Yuanshan, the only son of the Xue family, why is Xue Dagongzi not known? This has to start from when Xue Gongzi was 12 years old.

The Xue family has been from literature for generations, and the Xue family has always had a bad relationship with military generals, so the Xue family has an unwritten secret rule, that is, the Xue family, "I'd rather be a white Ding than a martial artist." ”

The new generation of the Xue family, in order to be valued, must follow the literature, and cut off all thoughts about learning martial arts, and our eldest son Xue has been idle since he was a child, and he is not good at reading books and takes his family around every day.

Coincidentally, one day I met this fairy-like county lord of Qinde on the street, and since then I have been out of control and fell in love with this county lord, knowing that this county lord has a good martial arts, I want to learn two tricks to please the county lord.

Of course, he also knew the rules of the clan, so he secretly learned, but he didn't expect it to be okay not to learn, as soon as he learned martial arts, he couldn't extricate himself from falling in love with this martial arts, and later was so angry that his eyes were burning after Xue Chengxiang knew, and he immediately put this Xue Dagongzi under house arrest in the room.

This incident was a big fuss in Yanjing back then, and it became a topic of chatter after countless teas and dinners, and finally almost broke off the relationship between father and son, and the ending was that Xue Dagongzi came to a big backlash, and escaped from the Xue family directly over the wall, leaving the county lord at the gate of the city, "When I return to my hometown, I will definitely marry you." "I went to join the army when I waited for the love letter with the general content, and I was so angry that I rested at home for a month.

However, this Xue Dagongzi can't read for a reason, he is an out-and-out genius in military affairs, and he has only been in the army for less than two years, and he has made great contributions to the Canglei border, and in the next few years, the good news that continues to come from the border is all related to this Xue Dagongzi.

This set up one feats after another, gave the prime minister a big face, and the prime minister's anger gradually became not so big, and after all, he was his only son, so he asked the prime minister's wife to write a letter to Xue Gongzi, Xue Dagongzi is also a big filial son, although he became a general at the age of 17, but he did not take the initiative to come back to ask the prime minister for forgiveness, and the prime minister went down the stairs, and this ending ended happily.

The two fathers and sons were reunited, but Xue Gongzi, as a general, was also the same as the king, and he was affected by disasters all the year round, and he could only ask the current saint for a vacation every year, and now a few years have passed, and Xue Dagongzi, a person who does not show his face all year round, will naturally be replaced by something fresher soon, and over time, there are more people who don't know Xue Yuanshan.

This turmoil lasted for more than ten days, and there was no intention of retreating, first from Xue Yuanshan's experience over the years to Xue Yuanshan's deep love for Mo Chenghuan, and then to the intimate relationship with Mo Chenghuan.

Lou Yuyu said that he was very helpless, obviously he didn't do anything, but he was involved in this turmoil, but after thinking about it, he turned to relief, maybe this was a strategy of Xue Yuanshan.

Recently, Lou Yuyu has become ruthlessly popular in Yanjing, first making a name for himself at the banquets of various factions, and then because of the love affair with Mo Chenghuan, the entire Yanjing was shocked.

In the shock, Canglei ushered in the biggest festival in autumn - the harvest festival, which is the largest festival in Canglei except for the New Year, even if the country is becoming more and more corrupt, it can't stop the people of the whole country from wanting to celebrate the festival.

Every family put up lights, and took out all the enthusiasm of the year to celebrate the harvest festival, Lou Yuyu, who had never spent any festival in Canglei, of course, also wanted to join in the fun, Mo Chenghuan could also understand Lou Yuyu's heart, after a simple dinner, Mo Chenghuan brought a personal maid and came to the street with Lou Yuyu.

This time, Lou Yuyu has not seen the bustling scene of thousands of lights and busy traffic, but he can't help but be curious to see the local customs, and he is idle anyway.

Before going out, Mo Chenghuan gave him a walnut and a blue ribbon, and the ribbon asked Mo Chenghuan to tie his head, and Mo Chenghuan let him carry the walnut in his arms, saying that it would be useful to stay and know.

said that it was a harvest festival, and the people on the street were all young men and women, with ribbons of various patterns and colors tied on their heads, and Lou Yuyu was stunned.

"Isn't it a harvest festival?" Lou Yuyu asked in surprise as he pointed to the various young men and women on the street.

"This has to start from the past, more than a hundred years ago, when the people of Canglei were simple and simple, and their thoughts were not so free......" Mo Chenghuan said with a wicked smile.

Lou Yuyu said in his heart: "It turns out that the people of your country also know that they are free in thought.

Mo Chenghuan noticed that Lou Yuyu's face was different, and immediately stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nope. Lou Yuyu didn't dare to say such things.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I know what you think, but I don't think there's anything, we women have suffered too much for a long time because we don't get freedom, and now we are a little too much, but we are also respected for it. Mo Chenghuan's eyes flashed with a mesmerizing brilliance, and Lou Yuyu couldn't help but see God.

Mo Chenghuan smiled like a flower, and continued to tell the story: "At that time, the women of Canglei did not have any freedom, even more than Fenglan, women were not allowed to step out of the door after sunset, otherwise they would be considered immoral, marriages in that era were arranged, and women who had never seen their future husbands before the cave house abounded, and then Canglei gradually grew, and the king on the throne could not see this custom, and planned to advocate the liberation of women's freedom......"

"At the time, it would have felt like a lot of meddling?" Canglei is the country with the longest history among the four kingdoms, how can those customs that have been passed down for hundreds of years be changed by the words of the king, and every innovation in the court is bound to cause a bloody storm.

When Fenglan King Xiang Ying Yu ascended the throne, he had seen the terrible innovation, and in the end, although the innovation was successful, but the entire Feng Lan court had a big blood change, and Xiang Ying Yu finally paid a price that others could not predict.

At that time, everyone thought that the little emperor who had just ascended the throne was weak and incompetent, and no one regarded Xiang Ying Yu as the same thing, but Xiang Ying Yu said nothing and did things neatly, and uprooted the Song family, which was the most opposed at that time.

The secret is not understood by everyone, and not everyone has the courage of Xiang Yingyu, he has been ready to break the net with Song Jiayu from the beginning, and the most terrifying thing about him is to take the risk of starting from scratch, but the final result is indeed better than expected, and no one dares to investigate the obscurity.

Of course, the result was definitely a failure, but most people made a compromise and allowed women to have one night of free time each year, and this decision was made to coincide with this harvest festival, and later everyone made the night of the annual harvest festival a free night for women to commemorate this night. Mo Chenghuan completely unabashedly showed his truest emotions.

In front of outsiders, Mo Chenghuan is the high-minded and arrogant lord of Qinde, in private, Mo Chenghuan is just Mo Chenghuan, Lou Yuyu can't seem to come up with more adjectives to describe Mo Chenghuan, as if no matter how many good adjectives can't describe Mo Chenghuan's good, and he himself is deeply attracted by this kind of good.

"Now the harvest festival is only a harvest festival during the day, but at night it is a festival that only belongs to women, called 'Daughter's Day'. Mo Chenghuan enjoyed the atmosphere, and this was the moment she had been waiting for for a long time.

Suddenly, a burst of floral fragrance wafted from afar, which was slightly cool in the lungs, making people feel refreshed and happy.

"What fragrance?" Lou Yuyu looked inquisitively, and saw a high platform in front of him, and his head was swaying, as if he was doing something.

"Let's start, let's go over and grab a seat!" As soon as Mo Chenghuan's words fell, he took Lou Yuyu's hand and rushed forward.

Mo Chenghuan skillfully rushed into the crowd in the crowded crowd, pulling Lou Yuyu to find a way forward, and after some tossing, the two finally walked ahead.

"What about the walnuts for you?" Mo Chenghuan also took out his walnuts.

Lou Yuyu saw that Mo Chenghuan was interested, and he couldn't help but be infected, and quickly escaped from his arms and handed the walnuts to Mo Chenghuan.

Mo Chenghuan untied the ribbon on Lou Yuyu's head, took Lou Yuyu's walnuts and wrapped them tightly with the ribbon, and handed them back to Lou Yuyu, smiling happily and saying to Lou Yuyu at the long line of men not far away: "You line up in that line, throw this into the jar in front, and then come back and gather with me." ”

Lou Yuyu glanced at the jar in the past, turned around and nodded heavily at Mo Chenghuan.

After getting Lou Yuyu's answer, Mo Chenghuan walked towards the women's team, and Lou Yuyu also turned around, only good children can get the best candy, Lou Yuyu understands this truth.

Queuing is a boring and tedious process, and some people began to feel dissatisfied before and after Lou Yuyu, I don't know if they were looking forward to the follow-up, Lou Yuyu didn't realize anything.

At that time, there was a commotion behind him, and exclamations and discussions came one after another.

Lou Yuyu looked back and found that Xue Yuanshan was holding a shelf and swaggering up with a few tiger-backed family members, and he also saw Lou Yuyu.

"Lou Yuyu, let me tell you, just because you can't fight me, I advise you to give up as soon as possible, pack up your things and go back to your Fenglan. Xue Yuanshan didn't have the calm atmosphere in the palace of the protector that night, instead of the arrogance of the merry boy who was used to being arrogant.

If Lou Yuyu hadn't seen his calm and majestic appearance of pointing out mountains and rivers, he would definitely think that Xue Yuanshan was an unruly and unruly major general, and it was precisely because he had seen the little-known side of Xue Yuanshan that he could know that Xue Yuanshan deliberately had ulterior motives for talking to him.

So he smiled contemptuously at Xue Yuanshan, and retorted not to be outdone: "It's not what I did to admit defeat without even trying, according to the following, the person who gave up Mo Cheng's wasted effort as soon as possible should be Xue Gongzi, the county lord didn't think about Xue Gongzi, why should Xue Gongzi chase hard." ”

"What a sharp mouth, I see how proud you are, but you have just read some books, have you seen any bloody storms! When you were going to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, you were afraid that you would still snuggle in your nurse's arms to breastfeed!" Xue Yuanshan blushed, pointed at Lou Yuyu and scolded.

As soon as Xue Yuanshan's words came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Maybe the county lord just doesn't like you, a bloody soldier, but likes me a little bit more?" was sarcastically ridiculed by Xue Yuanshan, Lou Yuyu still didn't change his face, calmly waited for everyone to finish laughing, and said this lightly.

Although Lou Yuyu's voice was thin, it made Xue Yuanshan hear it clearly, and the uninhibited smile on his face froze instantly, some people around him may not have heard Lou Yuyu's words clearly, but they could see Xue Yuanshan's black face clearly, obviously when he was reversed by the general, and he couldn't refute it, the expression was like eating a dead fly.

"Okay, okay, you are ruthless, wait for me!" Xue Yuanshan was furious, but he had no choice but to leave with his subordinates.

"We're here to help. Lou Yuyu maintained his usual breezy demeanor and said tepidly.

"Brother Lou, if you offend the Xue family so much, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?" Like Lou Yuyu, who dares to contradict the three major factions with confidence, even a person who is a member of the three major factions will not do this.

"Lou is sitting upright, not afraid of his means, if he is upright to challenge Lou, he is not afraid of him. "This is in my heart, Lou Yuyu doesn't even have this ability to protect himself, and he has already died on the road. Can you still live to Yanjing?

"I'm not afraid!" a heroic voice came from behind the crowd.

Lou Yuyu turned his head and looked, he was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, and there were a few people around him who looked like guards with cold faces.

"It's Sima Yuan!" Lou Yuyu was about to ask, and the discussion began next to him.

"In Xia Sima Yuan, I have seen Brother Lou. Sima Yuan stepped forward and made a gesture to Lou Yuyu.

Lou Yuyu bent down slightly to show his return salute, this Sima Yuan Lou Yuyu had heard of it a long time ago, this Sima Yuan was also a person in the army, and then because of this Xue Yuanshan out of the limelight, he resigned and returned home in a fit of anger.

I think that before Xue Yuanshan's edge was revealed, this Sima was also a generation of famous generals, and before he saw Sima Yuan, Lou Yuyu thought that Sima Yuan was no different from ordinary generals, with eagle eyes and big sword eyebrows, but he was a Confucian with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and even the guards beside him were a few points more heroic than him.

"I've seen Brother Sima. ”

Sima Yuan glanced at the long queue and said with a loud smile: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to also participate in the 'Fate'!"

Lou Yuyu paused for a moment, thinking that the "winning fate" that Sima Yuan said might be the activity he was going to participate in, so he replied instead: "It's also idle." ”

"Such a long queue, when Your Excellency arrives, I don't want to come, even if I win the lottery in the end, I won't have the mind to swim in the lake. Sima Yuan looked at Lou Yuyu with no meaning and smiled.

"It's just to pass the time, and I'll say if I'm in the mood for that time. Lou Yuyu didn't know what Sima Yuan's "swimming in the lake" meant, so he just responded casually.

"Since Brother Lou has such a Yaxing, let's let Zai help him," before the words fell, Sima Yuan turned around and shouted to the long queue in front of him: "Can you let Brother Lou Dao for Lou Gongzi? Sell the next face, so that Brother Lou can take twenty taels from here!"

"Brother Sima, no!" These twenty taels of silver are nothing to the Sima family, but there are at least thirty people in front of Lou Yuyu, and these thirty or so people are twenty taels each, which is more than six hundred taels, which is a large amount, and Lou Yuyu doesn't want to accept this big favor for no reason.

"Alas, Brother Lou don't be polite to me, this little meaning is just my meeting gift to Brother Lou, besides, I can't get used to this Xue Yuanshan for a long time, but I haven't been able to find a way to embarrass him, today Brother Lou can make him Xue Yuanshan not come to the stage in public, it is a great favor for me, this gift will be accepted with peace of mind, I am by no means the kind of person who asks Brother Lou for favors afterwards!"

This Sima Yuan is also a smart person, Lou Yuyu's eyes were anxious, and he only caught it for a moment, and deduced what Lou Yuyu was thinking.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Sima Yuan said so bluntly, Lou Yuyu seemed to be a childish man when he excused himself, and he no longer pretended to be a gesture, and gladly accepted Sima Yuan's help.

Now that I think about it, these six hundred taels must be like a drop in the bucket for the Sima family, which has been in business for generations, and it was only in Sima Yuan's grandfather's generation that he wanted to transfer to the official career, and he donated half of his family property to the Canglei Army that year, and the first emperor gave it to an official.

No one would have thought that this Sima family not only has extraordinary business acumen, but also has long sleeves and good dancing in the official career, and has quite a lot of means, from a small county order all the way to the sky, in just a few decades to sit on an equal footing with the prime minister, and also cultivated a most trusted concubine in the harem now.

But there are pros and cons, this royalist faction and the Xue family faction have always been hereditary children, noble and accustomed, the most despised is the Sima family, they feel that the Sima family is from a low background, even if they climb to a high position, but they still can't change the humble background of the Sima family, so while intriguing everywhere, the other two major factions often deal with the Sima family with the same hatred.

But if you want to talk about which of the three major factions is the most difficult to mess with, it should belong to this Sima family, the Sima family has a strong business foundation for generations, and now the entire harem is dominated by the Sima family, not to mention that the Sima family has no threshold, and it is widely accepted by the children of the poor family who have been excluded by the powerful family, at this time, the entire court is full of people from the Sima faction, which can be described as a huge foundation.

Lou Yuyu accepted this favor with peace of mind, and walked at the forefront of the people who gave way one by one with his head held high.

There's an old saying that "the road is narrow." Lou Yuyu crossed more than 20 people and saw that he was about to reach the end, but the people in front of him were actually Xue Yuanshan and his party who had just separated.

"Okay, you Sima Yuan, go against me everywhere!" Xue Yuanshan rushed at the back of Sima Yuan, who was walking away, and let out a roar full of anger, which shook the nearby cochlea and made him panic.

"Lou Yuyu, if you have the ability to not find anyone to support you, I will have a duel with you!" At this moment, Xue Yuanshan was completely unable to hold his breath, and pointed at Lou Yuyu and was about to fight alone.

"It's not good to do martial arts, if Young Master Xue is willing to compare the text, Lou will accompany him to the end, "It's all his own people, Lou Yuyu won't really fight with Xue Yuanshan for the sake of acting, it's too stupid to do this."

"You ......" Xue Yuanshan also followed Lou Yuyu's meaning, there was no need for a real fight between them.

"What are you doing?" Mo Chenghuan happened to appear at this time.

"Why is it so fast?" Lou Yuyu directly shifted the topic to Mo Chenghuan.

"I just met a few people who had been favored by me and gave me a place. Mo Chenghuan easily took the passage with a word.

Lou Yuyu raised his eyebrows, even if Mo Chenghuan didn't say it, he could imagine that everyone would make way for her, and the scene was much more spectacular than the situation on his side.

"Chenghuan!" Xue Yuanshan pushed Lou Yuyu aside, and forced himself to squeeze into Mo Chenghuan's sight.

"Xue Gongzi, you are also here. "Mo Chenghuan has been acting for so many years, and he is naturally perfect.

"If Cheng Huan can't win the draw, I will also invite you to swim in the lake!" The tenderness in Xue Yuanshan's eyes was as thick as that greasy syrup.

Lou Yuyu stood aside and looked at it very clearly, at this moment Lou Yuyu began to envy Mo Chenghuan a little, and wanted to ask Mo Chenghuan if this feeling of being loved by the person she loved deeply was the happiness she was pursuing.

"Yu!" Mo Chenghuan turned his head and found that Lou Yuyu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he looked at her and Xue Yuanshan, so he called Lou Yuyu.

This sound not only frightened Lou Yuyu back, but also frightened Xue Yuanshan.

"What's wrong?" Mo Chenghuan himself didn't notice anything wrong at all.

"Nope. In order to prevent Mo Chenghuan from seeing his strangeness, Xue Yuanshan turned his face, he couldn't let others see what he envied.

"Let's go. Just when Mo Chenghuan was paying attention to Xue Yuanshan, Lou Yuyu had already put the wrapped walnuts in the jar.

"Okay, then Xue Gongzi, let's leave first. Mo Chenghuan used the title of rusty to narrow the distance between Xue Yuanshan.

The starlight in Xue Yuanshan's eyes dissipated, and a layer of haze floated, and his reluctance was undoubtedly revealed.

Mo Chenghuan didn't see anything, and pulled Lou Yuyu to the periphery casually, Lou Yuyu deliberately glanced back at Xue Yuanshan, what he saw was Xue Yuanshan's infinitely sad eyes.

It seems that Mo Chenghuan's turn around is not a temporary farewell to him, but a farewell.

Lou Yuyu was powerless to understand why Xue Yuanshan showed such sad emotions, he had not experienced Xue Yuanshan's sorrow, and he could not imagine the relationship with Mo Chenghuan from Xue Yuanshan's point of view, so he could only choose to turn a blind eye.

For him, the person he loves is also deeply in love with him, which is the happiest thing in the world, maybe not for Mo Chenghuan and Xue Yuanshan.
