Standing outside were the wilted and slumped brother Xian'er and the smiling Xue Yunsheng, and Xiang Zhi asked in a low voice, "Why don't you two go in?" "With Brother Xian'er, a brother, if something happens, it won't be too embarrassing!

"We are the wind-watchers!" Xue Yunsheng said with a smile.

Xiang Zhi and Citron glanced at each other, could it be that the one in it was the future guest of honor?

Brother Xian'er's face was full of reluctance, and he muttered in a low voice: "Little Sixth Brother, can you be my brother-in-law?" If the fifth brother is my brother-in-law, I think my life will be short......"

"Kyaukjiao, do you want to go to Jiangnan?" Inside the house, Xue Yunming looked at Jiaojiao who had unloaded the hairpin ring, and her heartbeat slowly became faster, this is her boudoir......

“…… Gangnam? Kyaukjiao was originally sitting in front of the makeup mirror with her head down, her fingers nervously fiddling with the clothes belt, and when she heard such a headless sentence, she couldn't help but look up in surprise.

Xue Yunming wanted to sit down and say, but looking around the room, there was no other place to sit except her bed, so she had to step forward, squatted in front of her, looked at her and said with a smile: "There are some rights and wrongs in the capital, and I can't study with peace of mind." I want to go to Jishan Academy or the academy next to Jiangnan to study, as my father did when he was young. Wait for the autumn three years later, and then come back to take the exam. ”

"You're going to go for three years...... "Jiaojiao felt a sense of loss in her heart, "This year's autumn season, you, don't you plan to take the exam?" ”

"Originally, I could try it this year, but I decided yesterday to go to Jiangnan to study for three years. After all, he is not very old, and it is better to go out to see and see than to be trapped in the capital. ”

"Oh......" Hearing that he had made a decision, Kyaukjiao was very sad.

"How? Would you like to go with me? Xue Yunming looked at her lost appearance, and a smile rose at the corner of his lips. After all, he guessed correctly, and Kyaukjiao still liked himself after all.

"Together?" Kyaukyao's heart moved, and she slowly shook her head, "Why should I go with you...... How can anyone go out to study with his cousin...... Could it be that you want me to pretend to be Zhu Yingtai? She smiled, and the smile disappeared again: "My father and mother won't agree......"

"I can't follow my cousin, I can always follow my father-in-law. I've heard that many people are studying in the academy with their families......" Xue Yunming looked at Kyaukyao with blazing eyes.

"Xianggong?" Kyaukjiao didn't understand for a while. When she saw Xue Yunming's eyes, she blushed and pushed him shyly: "What nonsense are you talking about!" The flowers in my heart quietly bloomed.

Under a push, Xue Yunming did not fall, but took Jiaojiao's hand and said softly: "My mother came to propose marriage today, and the eldest princess said that she wanted to see what you meant." I'm afraid you don't want to, so I came over overnight and asked you ......"

"Although I only have the fame of Xiucai now, I will definitely be able to earn a two-rank jinshi in six years. If you don't like to stay in the capital, I'll let Xiaoliu take the title of the family, and the two of us will go out to travel all over the Great Zhou together, okay? ”

Travel all over the Great Zhou with him...... Kyaukjiao was still smiling shyly on her face, but her heart had already flown into the dream he had woven for her. His hands were big and warm, and his ten fingers were tightly clasped around his hands, and his people should be so down-to-earth and reliable......

"Well, then you can't go back...... Otherwise, I will be annoyed with you for the rest of my life! ”

When I was young, I always talked about it all my life, I have been good to you all my life, I have loved you all my life, I have ignored you all my life, I have been annoyed with you all my life...... It seems that a lifetime is very fast, and this little love and this bit of hatred in front of you can last a lifetime......

The two brothers rode home side by side, and Xue Yunsheng asked, "Brother, are you really going to Jiangnan?" Isn't it the same to study in the capital? ”

"For a day in the capital, the prince can't settle down for a day. It is better to walk away from other days. Xue Yunming returned to his expressionless and cold appearance.

"If you are engaged to Kyaukjiao, we will grow up together...... The crown prince shouldn't be, he won't do too much......" Xue Yunsheng said with some hesitation, "Why do you want to give up the title of the family?" ”

"You see in your own words, 'should' and 'won't' are such uncertain words." Xue Yunming's eyes looked at the dim road ahead, "It's impossible for me to bet on the future of me and Kyaukjiao on whether the prince will be like it." Besides, I don't have any nostalgia for this title, and I'm only a moment older than you. You should be working for your brother! After speaking, he patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "The heavy responsibility will be handed over to you!" ”

Xue Yunsheng pursed his lips and said, "To put it in a high-sounding way, you took your beloved to Jiangnan to be at ease, and threw me in the capital to face the angry prince." ”

"The prince is very smart, not a person who is obsessed with love. What's more, there is also the queen's mother's discipline, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at the harem. This is a position that cannot be relaxed, and the prince has a desire for power in his heart, and he will soon figure it out. ”

In July of the same year, the Ministry of Rites submitted a list of candidates for the crown princess, avoiding all the school-age women of the founding heroes' families. After the careful selection of the emperor and queen, it was finally decided that the daughter of Shen Yi, the prince of the country, was the crown princess, and the daughter of Wang Cong, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and the daughter of Cao Ding of Dali Temple were selected as the waiters of the East Palace. The second daughter will enter the palace again after the prince's wedding in February of the following year.

In September, the Chengguo Mansion held a grand ceremony for the eldest lady Pei Mingyue, and the queen and the concubine came to the Guogong Mansion in person to be the guests and praisers of the ceremony for the lord of Mingyue.

Donggong sent three brocade boxes, which contained eighteen pieces of hibiscus jade seeds of excellent quality. A scribbled note was sandwiched inside, which read: I know that you love it, and I will make a congratulatory gift. The heart loves, dare not be specialized. Carved as you like, the beauty and jade are flawless.

Soon after, the smoke of Liaodong rose again. Zachdan handed over the list of ministers and asked the Great Zhou to send troops to help. Liang Zan dispatched 150,000 elite soldiers and sent Qin Lang, the chief soldier of Xuanda, to lead the army, and Xue Yunsheng, the second son of Changyi Bo, accompanied the army.

In October, the lord of Mingyue and Xue Yunming, the eldest son of Changyibo, were married. After the wedding in November, the two went south with Chengguo Gong and the eldest princess.

Xuanhui stood at the bow of the boat, the cold wind on the canal blowing her cloak high in the air. She suddenly remembered that twenty years ago, she went south from the capital in embarrassment and took the same road.

"What do you think?" Pei Min came out of the cabin to find her, and when he saw that she was in a daze, he asked with a smile.

"I'm thinking, it's like I've been half a lifetime in my life......"

Pei Minzhong wrapped her in his arms with a cloak and said with a smile: "A daughter was abducted by someone, aren't you going to give me another one?" ”

Xuan Hui pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and tapped his forehead, but did not speak.

In the corner of the boat, there was a babbling huqin sound, and an old voice was singing the song "Boat Crossing the Wujiang River" in a ridiculous manner: "The streamer is easy to throw people away, red cherries, green plantains......"
