After the Yan family's birthday banquet ended, Yan's words and deeds were as usual, and he did not show any closeness to his mother's family, nor did he show any dissatisfaction. Li Xin and Li Hui had a lot of complaints about the Yan family in their hearts, but for the sake of her face, they could only remain silent. Although the two families are in-laws, they do not necessarily need to be too close, and it is enough to maintain a face-to-face relationship. If they want to ensure such a peaceful and peaceful life now, they cannot rely on any relatives, but only on themselves.

Soon, Yan was so busy that he had no time to think about anything else. Because the crown princess Du had to be in charge of the palace affairs of the Taiji Palace and had no time to be distracted, she received the order of the Empress Qin to assist the Su family in preparing for Li Ju's marriage. At the same time, the sage also issued an edict, named Li Ju as the Duke of Xun Guo, and gave the eldest daughter of the secretary and young eunuch An Shouyuan to marry An, and chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage.

Although Li Ju was not named the king of the county, the prince of the country, the heir king, and the king of the county are the same products, which still shows the importance that the sage attaches to this son-in-law. This edict naturally caused a lot of shock in Beijing: it can be seen from the knighthood that the saint's tolerance and understanding of the deposed prince's family also reflected his fatherly heart. As a result, many people with many hearts are thinking - although the abolished prince and the king of Pu returned to Beijing to serve the sick, but the king of Xin'an County and the prince of Xun were deeply favored by the sage, would the sage still let them go back to Junzhou or Qianzhou to suffer?

In addition, I don't know how many high-ranking families are saddened by the loss of a country lady in their family. Knowing that the saint would be knighted, what did they hesitate about? What is the secretary and young eunuch An Shouyuan? It's not a family of ministers, it's just a small family. Moreover, his career was not smooth, and after he came out of office, he stayed in this secretary who was only "noble" for more than 20 years. He was promoted from school secretary to secretary, and then to secretary, and just this year he was promoted to secretary and young eunuch.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to spread the discussion within the high gate. However, Xun Guogong's marriage has indeed attracted the most attention recently. Even Wang Zixian listened to a lot of gossip in the Guozi Prison, which was nothing more than a judgment on the future of Duke Xun and the abolished prince, as well as curiosity born from never seeing Li Ju.

He snorted slightly, and suddenly thought of Li Hui. Before the abolished prince's family returned to Chang'an, maybe the high-ranking officials in Chang'an City also talked about their Puwang family? All kinds of speculation and speculation, even if they have nothing to do with good or evil, have no sense of respect. Or, knowing nothing about his temperament, but keeping him away because of his identity.

Even if such a vulgar person is not worth spending time associating with them. The King of Sin'an is also busy now—even if he is not busy, he probably hopes to be quiet in his leisure time, rather than being surrounded by people, and remaining in the crowd to be flattered or concealed by their calculations.

When dusk came, Wang Zixian was still sitting in the school room reading the comments made by Dr. Guozixue on his policy. Two days ago, he had successfully come to the third school because of his excellent results in the mid-term examination. From then on, he no longer had to attend lectures with the crowd, and he could always ask the doctor if he had any questions. The talents of the two doctors of Guozixue were more outstanding than the gentlemen he had worshiped before, but he still felt that it was not enough. He needs a gentleman who can guide him to grow, a gentleman who can inspire him to think, not just a gentleman who can guide him in his studies.

Perhaps, he should apply to enter the Guozijian to see if there is a suitable gentleman there? Otherwise, it is to inquire about what Mr. the former Jiadi Jinshi worshipped, and he also worshipped his subordinates? The most recent ...... is the Yang head of Hongnong Yang's family, his husband should not be difficult to find, and he is already famous in Chang'an, right?

No! As long as he thought of becoming a senior brother with that Yang Zhuangtou, he felt uncomfortable all over, and he must not worship the same husband as him. Yang...... You have to stay as far away as you can, and you can't get mixed with them! Outside? What about outsiders? With such a foreigner, it is better not to have it.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, the prince sat for a long time before he packed up his books and left. When he came to the side door of Guozixue, he saw Li Qianniang's figure again. Cao Shilang squatted in the corner by the door, winked at him, and then quietly retreated to his side: "Ah Lang, she has been here three or four times this month. Every time, Ah Lang can't advance or retreat, why don't Ah Lang go and make it clear with her? ”

"The more she talked, the more she thought." Wang Zixian tightened his eyebrows, "It's better to avoid it, and wait until she loses interest." ”

"Ah Lang's words are not right!" Cao Shilang squeezed his eyebrows and teased his eyes, "The more she avoids it, the less likely she is to give up lightly!" This kind of thing should be made clear! Ah Lang has no intention of her, no matter how much she entangles, Ah Lang will not marry her. Or, Ah Lang simply said that he already had a woman he liked, and he would marry someone else when he was admitted to the Jinshi in the future...... As long as she makes it clear, she won't pester Ah Lang anymore! ”

The prince glanced at him coldly: "It seems that you have a lot of experience. ”

Cao Shilang choked, shrunk his neck, trying to make his burly and tall figure look thinner, and even completely lost his sense of existence: "I ...... I've heard people say it...... Otherwise, what other good ideas does Ah Lang have that he can't achieve? You can't be blocked by people outside Guozixue every day, and if the reputation spreads out at that time, it will be unjust! ”

The prince thought for a moment, and had to admit that it was indeed not the way to retreat like this. Li Qianniang's identity is unusual, and he must not spread any strange rumors with her. Otherwise, he would probably have to decide his own marriage—no matter who he is, he will not be able to refuse the marriage of a saint! And he must not tolerate that he has to spend the rest of his life with a woman who does not have any good feelings.

So, he walked towards Li Qianniang with a cold expression, stopped from a distance, and saluted: "I don't know what advice Li Niangzi has?" ”

Li Qianniang looked at him with shiny eyes, took a few steps forward, and her cheeks were flushed: "It's counted...... I can see you...... I just heard that you are a student of Guozi Studies, so I just want to come and meet you. ”

"Then since I've seen it, Mrs. Li will go back. You and I have never known each other in our lives, and our identities are worlds apart, so we don't have to see each other again. In order to keep his distance, Wang Zixian took a few steps back, and had almost retreated into Guozixue. His expression remained unmoved, and his gaze fell politely to her side, not even directly at her.

Li Qianniang was stunned, followed him into the side door of Guozixue, and said in a low voice: "You have saved the lives of our family, I want to say thank you to you personally." I don't know how to repay the grace of saving my life. I don't have anything of value around me, and I've always been worried that I won't be able to give you a decent thank you gift. It just so happened that it was about to end the sun, so I made a few five-colored wisps for you by hand, as well as five poisonous sachets, and wished Wang Langjun to continue his life. ”

After she said that, the personal maid next to her presented the five-colored threads formed by the multicolored silk threads and the lifelike five-poison sachet. The prince took a step back and shook his head and refused: "What Wang did was just out of duty, and he couldn't bear the 'life-saving grace' of Mrs. Li." Therefore, there is no need for Mrs. Li to give gifts to repay her kindness. Five-color wisps and five-poison sachets, Shu Wang can't accept it. ”

Hearing this, Li Qianniang's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Okay, it's okay if you don't accept my gift." I know that you families all value etiquette, and they are all well-behaved, and you are not willing to leave behind any reputation for giving and receiving privately. But why don't you even look at me? Am I born so ugly? I've come to you several times, but you've avoided you...... Do you hate me so much? ”

The prince lowered his eyes: "Don't see, don't listen, don't speak, that's all." Wang has no idea about Mrs. Li, you and I are just strangers, and we only have a one-sided relationship. ”

Li Qianniang is the granddaughter of a saint in the end, with the arrogant blood of the heavenly family, and her euphemistic overtures were not accepted by the beloved young man, so she simply let it go: "I...... I love you! You are my young hero, and I want to marry you! My mother is looking for me to marry and will marry my brother as soon as he marries! I can't wait! You, if you wish, I will go and tell my mother, let her fulfill us!" ”

Wang Zixian frowned and repeated again: "Mrs. Li's love, Wang Mou's heart understands." I'm sorry, Wang has no idea about Mrs. Li, and he has never thought about marrying a wife. The eldest husband should start a business first and then start a family, if he is not a high school scholar, Wang will never start a family. Besides, Mrs. Li is not my preferred wife-"

Li Qianniang's eyes widened and tears interrupted him: "Why? I am so pleased with you, and you are unmoved? ”

Wang Zixian reluctantly suppressed the impatience in his heart: how did he feel that no matter what he said, the other party would only be stubborn? Where did she get her confidence, and he would be impressed by her? Could it be that every woman who is in a relationship will be so stubborn? Not accepting rejection at all? "Marriage and affection don't need a reason, just fate. Come to think of it, Mrs. Li and Wang should have no fate and no separation. Mrs. Li's status is precious, and she will definitely get a happy marriage in the future. ”

"I don't believe it!" Li Qianniang shook her head and cried, "I don't believe you are so indifferent!" When I was in Wanzhou, I saw you walking through the streets and alleys, and you were very kind to every ragged ordinary person! How could you be so indifferent to me? By the way, are you worried about my identity? Don't worry, my mother said that my grandfather would give me the title of county lord...... Marry me, and your career will be smoother in the future......"

At this moment, Wang Zixian suddenly felt that it was too stupid to plan to make a clear encounter with her. If this continues, she will only become more and more uncontrollable, and it will be impossible for her to accept his refusal. At the moment, I can only rejoice that now they are talking in the empty courtyard of the Guozi School, and they don't have to worry about being listened to by others for the time being. Otherwise, if these words were discovered by passers-by, he would not know what kind of disaster would be caused, and he would really be at a loss at that time.

Cao Shilang, who had a bad idea, was also stunned, so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Just when he was restless, he suddenly smiled and jumped up violently. Wang Zixian also looked back, just in time to see Li Hui approaching, and asked with a smile: "Qian Niang, why are you here?" This time, I walked around, and I actually walked into Guozi Studies? ”
