Su Xueyun observed Qiu Xiang for two days, and found that she sometimes unconsciously became distracted, and then suddenly laughed, and sometimes frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, obviously looking like she was just beginning to fall in love. Su Xueyun didn't find out who she was in contact with, so she took the time to find Qiu Xiang and asked directly, "Qiu Xiang, if you have something on your mind, it's better to tell your sister, there is nothing that can't be solved, don't keep it in your heart." ”

Qiu Xiang took a rag to wipe the ashes, avoided Su Xueyun's sight, and said, "No, sister, I don't have anything on my mind." ”

Su Xueyun sat on the stool on the side, and said with some worry: "You haven't been keeping your mind recently, and you still say that you're fine?" Qiu Xiang, no matter what time you want, you have to follow your heart, so that you don't regret it, if you don't want to say it, my sister won't ask, but you don't make any decisions easily, especially decisions that can affect your life, you must think about it clearly. ”

"I know my sister." Qiu Xiang responded in a low voice, feeling a little depressed.

Su Xueyun sighed silently and left the Treasure Pavilion to teach students in the medical hall. When she was in the hospital, she was still thinking that it was difficult for Qiu Xiang's character to take the initiative to make any requests, and she didn't know if she would drill the horns of the bull herself, but she encountered a turning point when she went home at night.

Chen Xiaosheng went to the medical hall to pick up Su Xueyun and go home with him every day when he came back from the yamen, and when the two of them arrived home that day, they watched Qiu Xiang from a distance entangled with a man in strange clothes at the door, it seemed that Qiu Xiang was in a hurry to let the man go, but the man pointed to a pile of gifts behind him and said something.

Su Xueyun walked over and interrupted them with two light coughs, Qiu Xiang lowered her head in some annoyance, the man turned around, and when he saw Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stepped forward and said, "You must be Qiu Xiang's sister and brother-in-law?" He clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it on his left shoulder, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Hello, I'm Ma'er Drew, a Tatar." ”

Chen Xiaosheng took the fan, glanced at Qiu Xiang, and smiled politely: "It turned out to be the Tatar prince, I didn't know that the prince was coming, so I was sluggish." ”

Ma'er Drew hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law is polite, I came rashly without sending a greeting post, causing you trouble." ”

Chen Xiaosheng was choked by his sentence of "brother-in-law", and suddenly found that he was a little worse than him than cheeky, and he recognized his kiss without a word!

Seeing that they didn't speak, Ma'er Drew looked at him strangely, and said a little embarrassedly, "Did I say the wrong thing?" Sorry, I still don't know a little about Central Plains etiquette. ”

Su Xueyun walked to Qiu Xiang's side, patted Qiu Xiang's hand soothingly, and asked Ma Er Drew, "The prince came here so late, but something happened?" ”

Qiu Xiang immediately raised her head and glared at Ma'er Drew, and said nervously, "Didn't you say that you were an excuse to drink water?" When you're done drinking, let's go! ”

Ma'er Drew said sincerely: "I'm not here to borrow water to drink, I'm here to propose." ”

Qiu Xiang said anxiously: "I told you to stop talking about it, and you still said it?" Why aren't you leaving? Don't talk nonsense in front of my sister and brother-in-law, I won't promise you anything. ”

Ma'er Drew looked at them with a puzzled expression, and hesitated: "But Qiuxiang, didn't you say that you were the matchmaker of your parents?" Then I'm going to propose to your sister and brother-in-law right now, am I doing something wrong again? ”

Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng glanced at each other, and said with a light smile: "There is nothing wrong with proposing marriage to the family, but I have never met the prince before, the prince, you suddenly came to the door and asked to marry my sister, I don't think ordinary people will agree." ”

Ma'er Drew nodded and said: "Mrs. Zhu is right, you don't know me well, and you definitely won't feel at ease to hand over Qiuxiang to me, so I specially rushed to visit when you are not busy, hoping that you can understand me." ”

Su Xueyun could see his seriousness from Ma'er Drew's micro-expression, and his heart loosened a little, and he raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "Prince, please come in, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

Qiu Xiang grabbed Su Xueyun's arm and said hurriedly: "Sister, you don't have to pay attention to him, I have nothing to do with him." ”

Su Xueyun patted her hand and said with a smile: "Our Qiu Xiang is so good, it is normal for a family of women to ask for a hundred families, and they are guests, even if we entertain him, it doesn't mean that we want to marry you to him, don't be so nervous." Besides, he is a Tatar prince, and we should have been entertained when we met. ”

Qiu Xiang glared at Ma'er Drew again and ran in first. Ma'er Drew followed Su Xueyun and Chen Xiaosheng into the hall and sat down separately. Ma Er Drew pointed to a pile of gifts, and said: "Lord Zhu, Mrs. Zhu, I am sincere to Qiu Xiang, please marry her to me, I swear that I will be dedicated to her, and I promise to protect her for the rest of my life with the reputation of Ma Er Drew!" ”

Qiu Xiang lowered her head with embarrassment, standing beside Su Xueyun nervously, "You, don't say it again, I said I wouldn't agree to you, don't waste your efforts, you better marry someone else to be your princess." ”

Ma'er Drew suddenly became anxious, got up and said, "Qiu Xiang, haven't we gotten along very well these days?" You are obviously very happy, I have never seen such a good girl as you, kind, gentle, strong, all the good qualities of a woman can be found in you. I like you, and I can feel that you are interested in me, why don't you agree to me? If there's something I don't like for you, just say it, and I'm willing to change it for you. But if you dismiss me without saying anything, I don't even know what I've done wrong. ”

Su Xueyun looked at Qiu Xiang's expression and said: "The prince is calm and don't be impatient, please sit down, and talk about whether you agree or not, the feelings of our Central Plains people are not so straightforward, and it is possible to agree to a person's marriage after getting along more and understanding more." After all, family affairs are related to a woman's life for a lifetime, prince, you are Tatar, if Qiu Xiang agrees to you, she will leave her hometown and go to Tatar with you, it will be difficult for our sisters to see each other in the future, this is a very difficult decision. ”

Qiu Xiang held Su Xueyun's hand and said in a choked voice: "Sister, I won't leave, I can't reunite with you with a long time, we are sisters, I can't bear you, I won't leave." ”

Ma'er Drew was stunned, looked at Qiu Xiang, then at Su Xueyun, and said, "It turns out that you don't want to go with me because you can't bear your relatives?" He thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I am the prince of Tatars, the future king, and I cannot settle in the Central Plains with you." But I promise to accompany you to visit your relatives whenever I have time, so will you come with me? ”

Qiu Xiang choked up and couldn't speak, just kept shaking her head, and didn't look at Ma'er Drew. Su Xueyun sighed in her heart and said, "Prince, you sit down first, why don't you tell us how you and Qiu Xiang met, now my husband and I don't know anything about you, even if Qiu Xiang agrees to you, I can't rest assured." ”

Mardr saluted her, sat back in his chair and said, "It's me who didn't think it through, and I was too reckless." I've been in the capital for a while, and it's always been King Ning who entertained me before. To tell you the truth, King Ning revealed to me more than once that he wanted to get married, but the county lord Tingting told me privately that she already had a crush, and of course I would not take people's love and destroy the happiness of others, so I promised to hire the county lord to help her deal with King Ning. The county lord of Pingting was very grateful to me and introduced me to the Treasure Pavilion, so that I could buy some fine products from the Central Plains and return to Tatar. I heard a lot about your deeds from the mouth of the county lord of Pingting, I am curious about you, and I have long had the heart to make friends, and when I went to the Treasure Pavilion to talk about cooperation, I met Qiu Xiang. ”

Ma'er Drew glanced at Qiu Xiang, a little embarrassed, and showed a happy look on his face, "When I first saw Qiu Xiang, a little beggar bumped into her and trembled with fright. At that time, Qiu Xiang was wearing expensive clothes, but she was not angry at all when she was dirty, but gently helped the little beggar up, caring whether the little beggar had fallen and injured himself. After that, I watched Qiu Xiang fetch water to wipe the little beggar's face clean, and also took food for him to eat, there was no dislike at all, Qiu Xiang really cared about him, really kind and loving. I think I've been interested in Qiu Xiang since then, and then I always find an excuse to go to the Treasure Pavilion to find Qiu Xiang, Qiu Xiang is very enthusiastic, knowing that I am a foreigner, and admiring the style of the Central Plains, and taking me to a lot of interesting places, I am ready to go back to Tartary, but I find that I like Qiu Xiang more and more, and I hope to spend my life with Qiu Xiang. I wish my lord and my wife, I will definitely be good to Qiu Xiang. ”

Only then did Su Xueyun know how they met, Qiu Xiang had a pure nature, although she was very strong in her bones, she was usually very gentle with others, and it was indeed easy to be tempting. In all fairness, in fact, Su Xueyun was reluctant to let Qiu Xiang marry, the living conditions there were not as good as those in the capital, and there might be a war in the next few decades, but she didn't expect that Qiu Xiang and Ma'er Drew had been together for a while, and it seemed that they still had feelings for each other. Qiu Xiang and Qiu Yue are sisters, and they are also equally persistent in their feelings, how can they forget it so easily when they are moved?

Speaking of Tatar, Tatar and Su Xueyun can still have a little relationship, she once traveled through the Qing Dynasty to the noble concubine Namu Zhong, who was the wife of Lin Dan Khan, the last Great Khan of Tatar, before marrying Huang Taiji. There, women can also ride horses and dabble, and they can also grasp some of the power if they have the ability, Namu Zhong once relied on his considerable power to enter the imperial Taiji harem, which is more free than the Central Plains. And now Ma'er Drew's position is very stable, if you have the heart to operate, you may not be able to live a good life.

Su Xueyun said: "Prince, an empty word does not make me feel at ease to hand over my sister to you. We are twin sisters, and we can only be reunited after being separated for more than ten years, and our relationship is extraordinary. If I am convinced that you will treat my sister as a treasure, I am afraid that you will need a little sincerity. ”

Chen Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Yes, prince, Qiu Xiang has many people in the capital who ask to marry, and it doesn't have to be so far to marry." If there's no particular reason, people don't like to leave their homes, right? ”
