Mrs. Liu held a cup of hot tea, sat under the plane tree, and watched his wife move a long table and paint in the courtyard.

The subordinate brought Chai Jin over, "Taifu, King Ke is here." ”

Mrs. Liu beckoned Chai Jin to sit down. Not long after, Liu Chengfang also came. Mrs. Liu looked at the absent-minded Chai Jin, and said with a smile: "I want you to accompany our two old people to be quiet, let's go play." ”

Liu Chengfang threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and was coquettish, and Chai Jin on the side smiled and said nothing.

In the end, the two of them left Mrs. Liu and his wife and went to the garden. Although they are engaged fiancés, Liu Chengfang's boudoir, Chai Jin still can't go. In the end, it is necessary to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Liu Chengfang asked Chai Jin by appreciating the flowers: "How long have Ah Jin and Yunyang Hou known each other?" ”

Chai Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's not too long, three or five years." I met when I was a kid in the north. ”

Liu Chengfang knew that paragraph. At that time, Chai Jin led the Chai family army to fight against Beiyi in northern Xinjiang, and it took three years to get temporary peace on the border between the two countries.

It was at that time that Chai's mother set up a marriage for Liu Qingfang and Chai Jin. But not long after Chai Jin came back, the marriage fell through. The reason is self-evident.

"What kind of person do you think he is?" Liu Chengfang picked a black chrysanthemum, compared it to Chai Jin's ear, and asked casually.

Chai Jin took her hand holding the flower, "What?" When you see Xue Jian, you dislike me? ”

Liu Chengfang said angrily: "Naturally not. It's just that recently, it has been rumored in Beijing that he is interested in my fifth cousin, and I think my maternal grandparents are also interested in this marriage. But the marriage event is related to the life of the daughter's family, and I, as an older sister, have to think about how much for my sister. ”

This is not convincing, if she is really a friendly brother and sister, a sister who is bent on thinking about her sisters, where will she rob Liu Qingfang's fiancé.

Chai Jin didn't break her careful thoughts, and asked rhetorically: "Mrs. Liu will definitely not be interested in this. So...... Did Xie Shenzhi ask you to ask? ”

Liu Chengfang's face was dissatisfied, "I can't ask myself?" She lowered her voice and said, "You know that now there is a lot of trouble in the court for the establishment of the prince, and my grandfather is clearly a royalist, but secretly stands with the queen. At the moment, Xue Jian is in the limelight, if he can really achieve good things, wouldn't it be like a tiger to him. ”

Chai Jin said: "Xue Jian has never mentioned to me which lady he cares about, he himself is also a clean and self-conscious, and he never sets foot in the land of ordinary hooks." If he really likes his fifth cousin, I'm afraid that Xie Shenzhi can really get help. ”

The premise is that they can train Xie Liangying well.

Liu Chengfang said in her heart, it was really similar to what her grandparents said. "That'...... In your opinion, this can be done? ”

Chai Jin took her hand and walked towards the corridor, "You don't have to worry too much about other people's affairs." Don't worry too much about the affairs of the court. My mother doesn't like it. ”

Liu Chengfang secretly bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

Chai Jin heard the displeasure in her voice and comforted: "My mother is my mother, and we still live our lives." You just don't have to talk to my mother about this. Xue Jian told me a few days ago that he wanted to ask you to go to the suburbs of Beijing with the girl of the Xie family. Then you will take the lead and let everyone you want to do with you. I raised a pony for you in the Zhuangzi, and I brought it to you to see if you like it or not. ”

Liu Chengfang pretended to be happy, but her heart was like a fish in her throat. Chai's mother has always opposed her marriage with Chai Jin, and every time she goes to King Ke's mansion, she is cold-faced and does not give herself face at all. What Chai Jin said was good, but after passing the door, she was the one who faced her mother-in-law in the back house every day.

Xue Jian invited the girls from Liu Xie's second family to come out, naturally so that she could meet Xie Liangying. The last time he visited Xie's Mansion at night, he saw Xie Liangying's evasion of him. In order to regain the heart of your beloved wife, more contact is an essential step.

When the grandmother of the Xie family heard that it was Xue Jian's invitation, she naturally agreed. Originally, she didn't want Xie Liangyun to go with her, but in the end, she couldn't help it, so she let them follow Liu Chengfang to Xue Jian's Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is the same as An, and the royal things are naturally different from the ordinary house. Not to mention the big place, there is a nice hot spring behind it.

Liu Chengfang looked at the various tea dishes on the table, and smiled at Xie Liangying: "Hou Ye Xue really likes his sister. ”

Xie Liangying glanced at the only pot of roselle tea on the table, and his face was a little red. This kind of sweet and sour thing with honey is what she likes to drink, and Xue Jian is naturally prepared for her alone.

Xie Liangyun's expression was a little unnatural, and the wide sleeves covered the movement of the handkerchief in her hand.

"It seems that next year will not only be me, but Sister Hotaru will also have good news." Liu Chengfang smiled and pulled Xie Liangying's hand, "It won't be long before I am afraid that I will change my name and call Mrs. Hou." ”

Xie Liangying hurriedly said: "Sister, don't laugh. She meant something and said, "If you want to talk about dignity, where can the Marquis of Yunyang be compared with the hereditary King Ke." ”

King Ke? In his previous life, he died as early as when Liu Chengfang pulled Chai Jin to stand in line, and the so-called hereditary succession also collapsed in an instant.

Liu Chengfang didn't notice the sound of the strings at all, but secretly thanked Liangying for her flattery. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is always comfortable to listen to it.

Xue Jian only came over to take a look, and then pulled the shy Xie Liangying away.

Chai Jin and Liu Chengfang were happy to see this happen and did not stop it.

Only Xie Liangyun, she looked at the flower tea on the table that only drank half a lamp, and her heart was full of flavors. In the heart of the queen, Xie Liangyun is the tacit candidate for the crown princess. I don't know why, everyone thinks that the Xie family, which is closest to the emperor, is the best choice. Even if they're just superficial.

But Xie Liangyun did not give birth to half of the emperor's eldest son. Although the man who only has a big position in his heart has a high status, he has never been considerate and gentle to himself. Xie Liangyun also knew in his heart that the Xie family handed him over to be just a marriage, in exchange for future glory. She was also willing to do so until she met Xue Jian.

If it was said that the glimpse at the opening banquet only made her have a slight impression of Xue Jian. So this time, Xue Jian's thoughtfulness to Xie Liangying was to let Xie Liangyun see what he longed for but never had. After inquiring and preparing with all his might, Xie Liangying just enjoyed a little and put it aside. Xie Liangying just took a sip of tea and said thank you, and Xue Jian seemed to have gotten the best thing in the world.

Why is it himself who marries the emperor's eldest son, not Xie Liangying. Why can't she choose who she wants to marry, but must follow the family's arrangement. Why didn't he have it, but Xie Liangying disdained it.

Why...... It's Xie Liangying. She's her own sister. Why is it her?

Xie Liangyun didn't want to fight, he didn't want to rob. But who can control their own hearts? The accumulation of bits and pieces in daily interaction finally broke out at this moment. She didn't want to hate her sister, but she wanted to live for herself.

After returning home, Xie Liangyun directly found Yan's. Her mother has always loved her, although the right to speak is not as good as her grandmother at home, as long as her mother agrees, she can be regarded as having a little confidence.

After hearing about Xie Liangyun's plan, Yan jumped in shock. She pointed to Xie Liangyun's nose and said, "You...... You—You say it again?! ”

Xie Liangyun wiped the tears from his face, "Mother, I don't want to marry the eldest son of the emperor." I know that the family is for my good, but the eldest son of the emperor has no affection for me. In the future, we will become relatives, and we are also a pair of resentful couples. Will my mother bear to see me sorrowful in the future? ”

Of course, Yan couldn't bear it. But she couldn't help it, this was set by the men of the Xie family. Why don't you want your daughter to get what she wants, but ......

Looking at the hesitant Yan family, Xie Liangyun was a little disappointed in his heart. I don't know where she got the courage, she rushed out, ignoring the etiquette taught by her grandmother on weekdays, and ran to the courtyard of the Xie family's grandmother.

The grandmother of the Xie family looked at Xie Liangyun who was panting, and had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Grandmother, I don't want to marry the emperor's eldest son, and I ask my grandmother to let me go." Xie Liangyun "pounced" and knelt down in front of the Xie family's grandmother.

People coming and going outside the house looked inside curiously. The grandmother of the Xie family turned pale and asked Mama Ru to close the door.

Xie Liangyun, who was kneeling on the blue brick floor, nervously accepted the forced gaze of the Xie family's grandmother on her, and for a moment, she thought of giving up. However, remembering that Xue Jian treated Xie Liangying like a treasure, she raised her head again, straightened her waist, and did not retreat at all.

After a long time, the grandmother of the Xie family spoke, "You don't want to marry into the royal family, so tell me who you want to marry." ”

"I, I'm ......" Xie Liangyun was so excited that he couldn't even speak, his teeth chattering. For her, a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet, it is really difficult to confide in the girl's thoughts to others. is as extroverted and spicy as Xie Liangting, and when she heard that she was going to tell herself that her in-laws were still making a little daughter posture.

"I want to marry Xue Jian!"

Xie Liangyun's voice resounded throughout the room, and everyone in it could hear it clearly. The Yan family, who came in a hurry, also heard very clearly outside the door. Her heart was broken, and she hurried to catch up but still didn't catch up. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw the grandmother of the Xie family throwing the crutches in her hand at Xie Liangyun.

"Ridiculous!" The grandmother of the Xie family rose and fell violently, as if she was angry, "Now the entire capital knows that Xue Jian likes your sister, and the two families are not married." But at this juncture, what are you going to do when you say you want to marry him? Let everyone in the capital see our Xie family's jokes?! ”

Yan threw herself at the feet of the Xie family's grandmother and cried: "Auntie, spare Ah Yun for this, all the mistakes are my mother's fault." Ah Yun is the tip of your heart, and it hurts to hold it in your arms all the time. ”

The grandmother of the Xie family kicked Yan away, "Do you still have the face to say?" It's that you, the mother, are not right, and she is crooked. I love her, that's because she is obedient and sensible. The Xie family has raised her for many years, is it impossible to eat and drink for the Bodhisattva? Now that I'm older, I don't know how to solve problems for my family, and I just think about my children's love, why do I still care about her?! ”

Xie Liangyun looked at Yan, who didn't even dare to cry loudly on the ground, and his heart was completely cold.

It turned out that in my grandmother's heart, I was like this.
