85_85279When Thorin was a field battalion general who fought guerrillas, Dai Qin was not so much to win him over as to form a party, and these two men had been guarding the grassland all these years, and they refused to surrender. It has a high prestige in the grassland. They can be said to have advanced together in honor and disgrace, and now their lips must be cold. This is one point that worries me, but there is one point that worries me even more, that is, Zhu Di actually came to Jinling. Since the death of the crown prince, he has not set foot in Jinling for more than four years, Xu is afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that he has improper ambitions to enter the Beijing Division, and maybe he does not want to come to this place with me.

I thought I would be calm, but when I thought that he was in the same city with me at this time, my heart was still turbulent.

It's been three years, and I thought that some people would leave no traces after a trip in their lives, but I didn't expect that some traces were engraved, and they couldn't be erased or smoothed.

In the past three years, Yueniang has treated me very well, I have never appeared in front of guests, and my life is quite peaceful. After Mingyue was born, because I liked her so much, I often went to the Li Mansion to tease her, and other than that, I hardly left the house. I'm almost twenty-four years old - this is certainly nothing in modern times, but this is the Ming Dynasty, and some states and counties will even stipulate that children are unmarried at the age of fourteen, and parents are responsible, so imagine my embarrassing situation. Of course, except for Yueniang reminding me of my situation from time to time, I almost forgot my age.

Zhu Yuanzhang has gradually taken his eyes off the arrest of Jinyiwei. He was bent on how to quickly cultivate Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen is only nineteen years old, and it is said that he has already shown extraordinary talent, and his father, who died earlier than him, is bold and kinder than his grandfather, and is a rare benevolent monarch.

Zhu Di's big victory over the Yuan army returned to the dynasty, but it gave this situation a small shock. King Yan's strength is strong and his voice is high, although he didn't say anything, it is inevitable that Zhu Yunwen will be a little jealous in his heart.

Zhu Di returned to Beijing alone this time, and the troops stopped outside the city gate, and he didn't bring a family member. Concubine Li Shu felt sorry for her son, so she simply left him to rest in the palace, saying that someone was taking care of her - she blindly said to Zhu Yuanzhang, you see, her son has lost a lot of weight. Zhu Yuanzhang was full of suspicions, but when he heard this, he was also distressed, I heard that he was very close to Zhu Di for several days in a row, and he also talked with candles and nights, sharing the deep affection of father and son.

The ministers all craned their necks to watch the momentum in front of them, thinking in their hearts that the emperor is now in his old age, is the emperor's grandson just a prince, and he still wants to pass the throne to his son when he is coming? After all, he was just figuring it out, and he didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang doing anything substantial.

Xu Huizu has come to see me a few times, he has completely changed, I don't know if it is because of the great change in temperament, even his appearance has changed, he used to be handsome and dashing and more debauched, but now he is twisting his eyebrows everywhere, which makes people feel very difficult to approach. At the beginning, Yueniang was still full of expectations for him, but then she simply didn't dare to talk to him.

"This Xu Gongzi, such a big man, I, a girl who spends a whole floor, can't even get into his eyes, Huanhuan Yuanyuan They said, I have never seen Xu Gongzi slanted his eyes."

I smiled faintly, "I can't say that people have a hard time." ”

"Where's the trouble?! Attacking the Duke of General Xu, several sisters are married to the current prince, and there is no more powerful than his family. ”

I think that although Yueniang is smart, but she is only smart in knowing people and making money, it is difficult to get rid of the cheesiness of a prostitute, if you tell her anything about love and love, she is afraid that she will not understand it, and it will be difficult to understand, so she will no longer explain.

As soon as Zhu Di returned to Beijing, Xu Huizu came to me a few days later. I saw that he was full of wind and frost, and he was still a little drunk, and said strangely, "If you come, you will come, Qinglou is a place for fun, and if you don't drink flower wine here, you will come after drinking outside, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Xu Huizu smiled lightly, "The emperor is happy today, and he invited his ministers to a banquet in order to reward his brother-in-law." The big guys drank two glasses. ”

My face sank, and I stopped talking.

Xu Huizu said, "Brother-in-law has come to see you when he returns to Beijing this time?" ”

"Xu Gongzi laughed again, why did the prince come to see me?"

Xu Huizu lowered his head and smiled, "It's best if you don't come." ”

I don't know if Xu Huizu is in a good mood or a bad mood, he wants two pots of wine, and he drinks it by himself, I saw that he was really boring alone, so he said, "Drinking alone, it's really my negligence in hospitality, forget it, let's have a meat to accompany you today." ”

Xu Huizu was about to raise a smile at the corner of his mouth, and I had already stopped, "Just one sentence, I'm not borrowing wine to drown my sorrows, but I just have an itchy throat." ”

Xu Huizu poured a cup for me, I touched a glass with him, and drank it. Someone accompanied him to drink, Xu Huizu was a lot of joy, and he drank it immediately. Before I knew it, I finished brewing both pots of wine. Yueniang has such eyesight, it is rare to see Xu Huizu indulge, and immediately sent someone to an altar of flower carving.

People who haven't drunk for a long time are always easy to get drunk, and I soon became dizzy and difficult to support, and said to Xu Huizu, "Xu Gongzi, I can't do it, you can go out and find someone else to accompany you." ”

Xu Huizu looked at me who had already wanted to lie down on the table, "um", still drinking the rest of the Huadiao, and said for a long time, "The emperor pointed out a marriage for me today." ”

My head was full of wine and suddenly sobered up, "Whose daughter?" ”

"The daughter of the Tobe squire." Xu Huizu smiled miserably.

"You answered?"

"The emperor is married, how should he not." Xu Huizu smiled.

I suddenly felt a little sad, I don't know if I was happy for him or sad for him, it is said that Xu Huizu should have someone to take care of him, but I knew that he was injured several times, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to accept any more women, and I never dared to mention this matter to him. "Isn't that a good thing? It's time to celebrate. ”

"I refused at the time, but my brother-in-law said it for me."

I was shocked, thinking that something must have happened in Chaoshang, but I was afraid that it was still related to Zhu Di, so I couldn't help but quietly watch Xu Huizu and wait for him to speak. Xu Huizu sighed, "Sister and brother-in-law, I'm afraid I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, but I think you're a special person, I'm just afraid you can know." I don't want to marry anyone again in my life. So as soon as the emperor gave the order, I said that I was not stable and could not start a family. My brother-in-law sat very close to the emperor, so he said that I was drunk, but in fact, I was not happy, so I thanked me for my kindness. ”

I looked at Xu Huizu in a daze, the resentment on his face couldn't be suppressed, I was afraid that it would explode at any time, no wonder he was so melancholy tonight, I was afraid that he would have any misunderstanding about Zhu Di again, so he said, "The emperor pointed to marriage, how can you not agree, this is against the holy order, a big crime!" As your brother-in-law, the prince naturally doesn't dare to let you betray the emperor's will in the court. ”

Xu Huizu smiled suddenly, "You still speak for him." ”

I was stunned, "I'm afraid that your relatives will turn against me." ”

Xu Huizu got up and staggered.

I also walked to the bed in a daze, and my kimono fell down and fell asleep in the dark.

When I dreamed back at midnight, I suddenly felt a hand rubbing on my face, rough to the touch, like a thick cocoon formed by the labor of adulthood, I wanted to see who it was, but the eyelids were too heavy to open, and the hand was comfortable to touch, so I quickly slept peacefully again. In a trance, I felt that the owner of that hand had not left, until I woke up at dawn, and there was no one in the room, and I smiled bitterly, but it was just a beautiful dream.

When I walked to the case where I was drinking with Xu Huizu last night and looked at the shore, I stood in a daze, and my legs couldn't move anymore as if they were filled with lead.

I had only half-drunk the last glass of wine, and I was no longer able to drink it, so I set it aside, but now it was clean and there was nothing left. Someone came during the night.

Someone really came at night, not a dream.

I got dressed, called a girl in to clean up the leftovers, and casually asked, "Did anyone come to me last night?" ”

The girl glared in confusion, "No." Mademoiselle has never had any guests set foot here. Oh yes, yesterday Xu Gongzi came at the lady's own will. ”

"You pack these things and go." I said to the little girl, and then pointed to the cup I drank in last night, "Oh yes, that cup was washed and brought to me." ”

The little girl was a little confused, but she still responded. I walked to the bed and saw faint footprints on the edge of the window.

Could it be him?

I didn't dare to think about it, I just pretended to be nothing, but it was difficult to be as calm as before. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed out the young lady of the household servant to Xu Huizu, and the wedding date was set in a hurry, and he was going to get married in half a month. I was a little surprised, but Yueniang gave me the gossip about this public case. They are the most curious and well-informed about the affairs of these officialdoms.

It turned out that this waiter's family only had a daughter, because of his family's eight sons, the ninth child gave birth to a daughter, so he was called Jiu Niang, and he was spoiled like a baby, and for a while he felt that there was no man in the world who was worthy. This Jiuniang is also a rich lady circle in the capital of Yanguan, her vision is higher than the sky, and she looks down on every man who is a matchmaker.

Three years ago, this Jiuniang attended the wedding of Li Jinglong and Feng Biluo with her mother, and caught a glimpse of Xu Huizu at a glance. Shilang once secretly reminded the official media, but the official media replied, "No one dares to say anything about Xu Gongzi's marriage in the whole capital." At that time, the squire died of this heart. Helplessly, his daughter was fascinated, if Xu Huizu did not marry, a delay was three years, and now she is twenty years old, an old girl who is full of ten, this waiter is anxious, and he is very effective in managing the floods of the Yellow River this year, and now he is a celebrity in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the family is such a pearl in the palm of his hand, so he dared to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to marry. Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da have a very deep relationship, and seeing that the eldest son of the deceased has been single so far, of course he is very happy to be an adult
