"Mother, I'm back!" Xuan Yue returned home, and the joy in her tone could not be concealed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You Nizi, why have you been coming back late lately? Tell my mother, but who do you like? Yan Rujin's eyes are cunning to see through people's minds.
"What's the matter, my mother used to make fun of me!" was said to have hit the heart, Xuan Yue's cheeks were like cherry blossom flowers in an instant.
"You still say no, tell your mother which son-in-law it is?" Yan Rujin pulled Xuan Yue to sit on the sofa, "You have indeed reached the age of marriage, and your mother will not blame you." ”
"It's... It's Wei Chixin. Xuan Yue's shy voice still revealed a bit of expectation, anticipation of her mother's attitude.
After hearing Wei Chixin's name, a trace of surprise and resistance flashed in Yan Rujin's eyes, but it was fleeting, and then he returned to his usual benevolent smile.
"It's the Commander, but what do you like about him?"
"Justice, bravery, loyalty, in short...... Everything about him I admired and loved! Xuan Yue said firmly.
"And what does he think of you?"
He ...... He also has an interest in his daughter. ”
Seeing that Yan Rujin was silent, Xuan Yue furrowed her brows and asked cautiously, "Why doesn't my mother speak, don't you like him?" ”
"How can it be, Mr. Wei Chi is a talented and righteous person, I was just thinking, since you both have intentions, it is better to set up a banquet and ask him to come to the house as a guest, he is not a person of Xizhao, and his parents are no longer alive, so I will talk to him directly, if it is appropriate, it would be better if your affairs were determined as soon as possible."
"Really! I know that the mother loves her daughter the most! Xuan Yue's brows stretched out, and she threw herself into Yan Rujin's arms and coquettishly.
Yan Rujin gently brushed her daughter's long chestnut hair, the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually receded, and an unpredictable look appeared on her face.
Recently, every time Wei Chixin practiced or practiced soldiers, Xuan Yue would stand in the distance and watch him quietly, and when he was finished, he handed him a handkerchief and a kettle, and Wei Chixin no longer refused, naturally took Xuan Yue's mind, and then sent Xuan Yue back. The two of them didn't talk much when they were together, but for Xuan Yue, being able to stand by Wei Chixin's side was already satisfied.
Walking home with Wei Chixin was what she looked forward to the most every day, and every time she hoped that the road from the palace to the Xuanfu would be longer and longer.
Since the incident of the ember, Yu Chixin no longer hides from Xuan Yue, every day Xuan Yue's beautiful and shy smile appears in front of Yu Chixin, like a little sun, making him feel that his days are no longer as boring and desperate as before, he wants to see Xuan Yue every moment in the future, and he tells himself to face this feeling.
During these days, he was accustomed to Xuan Yue standing in the distance waiting for her every day, so on this day, Wei Chixin did not find Xuan Yue's figure when he practiced the gun, he felt uncomfortable, and it seemed that something was always missing, almost every few moments he had to look back at the direction under the big tree where Xuan Yue was waiting for him, and later he found that he couldn't practice the gun without distractions, and finally decided to go back early.
Along the way, Wei Chixin kept thinking crankily: "Why didn't Xuan Yue come today?" Countless possibilities suddenly popped up in his heart: Did he do something wrong to make her angry? Could it be that Xuan Yue is sick? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and Wei Chixin decided to go to Xuanfu to find out the situation.
As soon as Wei Chixin turned around, he saw Xuan Yue walking towards him not far away, and he realized that Xuan Yue was already an indispensable existence for him.
"Why did you go back so early today? It's so hard for me to find it all the way! Xuan Yue pouted and said angrily.
Wei Chixin breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, it's over early when I'm a little tired." In fact, what he wanted to say at the moment was, "I thought you wouldn't come." ”
"Hmm... Actually, I have something I want to tell you today. Xuan Yue blinked a little shyly.
"What?"
"Tomorrow night, my mother wants to invite you to my house for dinner, and you will come, right?"
Wei Chixin knows the meaning of this meal, himself, is it really okay? He hesitated for a few seconds, but seeing the expectation on Xuan Yue's face, he no longer hesitated, and nodded affirmatively: "Of course." ”
Just when I'm greedy and selfish once, I want to see her every day, I want to be with her.
After Wei Chixin sent Xuan Yue, he returned home with his front foot, and then someone knocked on the door. Usually few people come to Wei Chixin's private mansion, he speculated that the visitor opened the door, and then saw Yan Rujin at the door.
"Mrs. Yan Rujin? Please come in. Wei Chixin didn't expect it to be her, except for a few times when he occasionally went to Xuanshao's mansion, he didn't have any intersection with Yan Rujin, and he was surprised and felt inexplicably nervous at the same time.
Yan Rujin nodded politely, walked into the guest hall with Wei Chixin, and sat down.
While Wei Chixin was making tea, Yan Rujin looked up at his mansion around. When Wei Chixin brought the brewed tea to Yan Rujin, she withdrew her gaze, and then thanked him with a smile.
"Commander Wei Chi, do you usually live alone, only..."As she spoke, she pointed to the two servants at the door: "These two servants?" ”
"Just call me Wei Chixin, I usually stay in the palace, and I rarely return to this private house, so I don't want so many servants, and besides, I am more comfortable when I come back alone." Wei Chixin still heard the suspicion in Yan Rujin's tone, in the hearts of a noble lady like Yan Rujin, how could people like them lack people to serve?
"You are older than Shao'er, and every time you fight outside, thanks to you helping and protecting him, I really appreciate you." Yan Rujin changed the subject.
"Mrs. Yan Rujin, what are you talking about, Xuan Shao and I are brothers, and it should be, besides, he has also saved me on the battlefield several times."
"I've also heard about you and Xuan Yue, dare to ask, are you sincere to my Yue'er?" Yan Rujin finally entered the theme of her arrival this time.
"Yes." Wei Chixin replied sincerely and affirmatively, according to the previous conversation, Wei Chixin had probably seen Yan Rujin's position, but before she broke it, he was also playing Tai Chi, and he didn't know.
"I think you know, since Shao'er and Yue'er's father died, our entire Xuan family has been greatly affected. Although I tried my best to maintain everything in my family, and my mother's family gave me a lot of support, there was still a lot of resistance, and many of Xuan Shao's father's political enemies were even more interested in our family's position in Xizhao after his death. The followers of the family also saw the wind and left many ......"
Wei Chixin nodded: "Yes, these outsiders can't see it, but madam, you must have paid unimaginable hardships and forbearance for the Xuan family, so that the Xuan family's status in Xizhao is still as stable as before." ”
"Heh," Yan Rujin chuckled helplessly, "Is it really stable?" ”
