August 18, this day, is the day of Xie Zou, the mother of Princess Xie of Xiangyang, who will celebrate her 60th birthday. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A few days ago, Xia Shuanghan, who learned that Xie's mother was going to celebrate her birthday soon, didn't need Xie to speak, so she took the initiative to show that if her behavior of going to celebrate her birthday was welcome, then she was willing to go to celebrate her birthday.

Of course, Xia Shuanghan's answer was yes. It's just that, slightly different from the people she expected to travel at the beginning, Zhou Yaoguang actually boarded the carriage that went to celebrate her birthday.

In the past three months, Zhou Yaoguang, who deliberately tossed herself to be sick and crooked in order to achieve the goal of retiring from the marriage, did get rid of her ex-fiancé, who is now in the ground. It's just that her grandmother Zhou Zhao and her former "future mother-in-law" both saw that she was actually unwilling to marry, so she deliberately belittled herself.

Faced with his granddaughter's willful behavior, Zhou Zhao was angry and angry, and scolded her for being the culprit who made the Zhou family bear the infamy of "treachery". And Zhou Yaoguang's future mother-in-law, after her son died of illness, came to the Xiangyang palace to make a fuss, and reprimanded Zhou Yaoguang with tears in her eyes: "If you hadn't pretended to be sick and delayed my son's time, how could he have died when he obviously had the last life-saving means of Chongxi?" ”

For these messy things, Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing have not taken care of them, but Su Chunfeng, who is an elder, and Xie, who is the hostess, can't ignore it.

After the two of them put it together, their opinions were: There are few parents who know that there is a fire pit in front of them, and they insist on pushing their children into it. Zhou Zhao believes that it is more important to maintain the reputation of the Zhou family, but isn't the lifelong happiness of his granddaughter in the mood for love important?

Anyway, now that the marriage has been withdrawn, and the damned person is dead, things have developed to this point, and it is obviously meaningless to investigate who was right and who was wrong before. Therefore, what should Zhou Yaoguang do in the future marriage is what they need to consider now.

Since the marriage contract between Zhou Yaoguang and her sick fiancé was proposed to be terminated by her former future mother-in-law, from this point of view alone, the Zhou family does not need to bear any responsibility for the termination of the marriage contract. Therefore, Su Chunfeng, who seized this point to fight back, quickly ensured that the "mother-in-law" who came to the door would not publicize Zhou Yaoguang's illness.

At the same time, because Zhou Yaoguang has been living in the south with her family for many years, almost no one in Beijing knows about the fact that she was engaged and dissolved. Therefore, it is not difficult to find another marriage for Zhou Yaoguang, who has not yet shown his face in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and then he has not left a bad reputation.

Therefore, letting her participate in Xie Zou's birthday on August 18 became the first step to introduce Zhou Yaoguang and further plan for her marriage in the future.

Xia Shuanghan, who walked into the Yong'an Houfu with a full of greetings and joy, followed the Xie family to the courtyard where the Xie Zou family lived, and soon greeted Zou Lao Fengjun and several elders generously, without humility or arrogance.

Then, when she was not at all interested in the short topics of the parents, and there were not so many places in the room for all the guests to sit down one by one, Xia Shuanghan, who had been indoors for a while, went out of the house and went to the garden, accompanied by the maid.

Ponds, rockeries, flowers, trees, pavilions, and gardens that are not much different from the gardens of most families in Beijing, on the grounds that "I know how to go after a banquet in a while", Xia Shuanghan, who sent away the maid who seriously slowed down her speed, met a woman she knew well in her previous life by the winding small stone bridge.

Zhang Yunyan, the lady of the Zhang family, is a girl who has always stayed in Xia Shuanghan's mind both in her past life and in this life. Because, in her previous life, she became Liu Zirun's lifelong wife, and because of Liu Zirun's relationship, she had several dealings with Xia Shuanghan.

"Zhang's Yunyan, I have seen the loyal and righteous countryman." On the gurgling stone bridge, different from the previous life, Zhang Yunyan, who missed the good relationship in this life because of her misunderstanding of Xia Shuanghan and Liu Zirun last year, has long remembered Xia Shuanghan in her heart in the process of self-reflection and self-examination.

Therefore, even if she had never seen Xia Shuanghan herself, Zhang Yunyan, who knew that she would definitely attend today's birthday banquet, guessed her true identity the moment she saw the interracial girl with a scar on her forehead walking towards her.

"Miss Zhang doesn't have to be polite." After a brief exchange of words with Zhang Yunyan, Xia Shuanghan, who immediately saw a lot of curiosity and doubt in her eyes, finally did not turn around and walk away like anyone else, but chose to stay and answer her questions.

Under the wisteria flower trellis on the side of the stone bridge, facing Zhang Yunyan's questions such as "You have been born and died several times, have you never been afraid", "When you chose to temporarily sacrifice your name and leave the capital immediately, didn't Lord Xia object and worry", and "I heard that you can use spirits and water to make the object catch fire on the surface while the inside is still unscathed, is this true?"

And in this conversation between you and me, two people who were not friends in their previous lives slowly became familiar in the conversation because they found a common topic.

"Oops, my handkerchief!" In the middle of the harmonious and harmonious conversation, a sudden gust of autumn breeze took the piece of silk embroidered handkerchief that Zhang Yunyan pinched on her fingertips, which was completely an ornament, away from her fingertips.

And when she hurriedly stood up, trying to find out where her embroidered handkerchief had gone, the handkerchief with her name had been swept by the wind to the branches of a lush tree by the courtyard wall.

"Miss, can you wait here for a while, and I'll go find someone to build a ladder?" Knowing that this kind of embroidered handkerchief with the master's name embroidered on the corner must not fall out, while asking Zhang Yunyan for advice, she raised her eyes and walked around the courtyard, trying to see which ones were brought by the master like her according to the clothes of the maids, and which ones were originally working in the Yong'an Waiting Mansion.

"Don't go, it's useless to go." Raising his eyes to look at the handkerchief that was blown by the breeze on the branches, he stood up and felt whether the tree could bear his weight Xia Shuanghan said: "When you find someone, the handkerchief has already been blown down to the courtyard wall, so I'll go and help your young lady get it!" ”

"How can this work?" Hearing Xia Shuanghan's remarks, Zhang Yunyan and her maid shook their heads in disapproval.

"The reason you object is because you think women shouldn't climb trees? If this is the case, then you can rest assured, when I was a child, I really did a lot of things when I went up to the trees to dig birds' nests and went down to the river to fish and shrimp. So I never pay attention to any dissuasion that a woman can't do this, can't do that, and so on. ”

After comforting the two women in front of him who regarded climbing trees as a beast of flood, he left the summer frost of the wisteria trellis, and soon climbed the tree that was much higher than the courtyard wall with his hands and feet.

Inside and outside the courtyard walls are two completely different scenes: the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The ladies of the family in the inner courtyard do not forget their chastity, quietness, virtue and demeanor; The sons of the family in the outer courtyard can drink and laugh freely, make wine orders, and play with pots.

Xia Shuanghan, who stepped on the branches and climbed the treetops, casually glanced out of the courtyard wall, and then withdrew his gaze, focusing on his feet and the handkerchief hanging from the branches. But when she had long been accustomed to the world of men outside, most of the men outside the courtyard wall were shocked after noticing that there were women climbing trees in front of so many people.

"Who is the Hu man? Choosing this time and place to climb the tree, is she trying to attract our attention or what? ”

"Improper morality, vulgarity, which family brought this Hu man in, why don't you know how to take care of it?"

"Shut up! Have you ever heard of the name of Zhongyi Xiangjun? Speaking ill of her, you are offending the prince of Xiangyang in death! ”

What the men in the outer courtyard think of her, Xia Shuanghan, who has long been accustomed to being the focus of other people's side eyes over the years, doesn't care at all. However, at the moment when she stretched out her left arm and caught the embroidered handkerchief hanging on the branch with her fingers, she was about to withdraw her hand and climb down the tree, but she only felt a numb knee in her knees, and then she fell from the tree because she lost her balance.

During the fall, Xia Shuanghan, who reached out to block the tiles of the courtyard wall in order to help his body slow down, turned a beautiful somersault in the air, and then landed on the ground with both feet and stood firmly in the outer courtyard on this side of the courtyard wall. However, unlike her left hand, which held a handkerchief, her right hand made a cut in the palm of her hand in the process of blocking.

Raising his hand and stuffing Zhang Yunyan's embroidered handkerchief into his sleeve pocket, ignoring the women who were screaming in panic at the other end of the courtyard wall because of her fall, Xia Shuanghan, who raised his head, only stared at the culprit who was holding a slingshot not far away and causing her to fall off the tree.

"Where did you come from to dare to climb a tree in front of so many distinguished guests in my house? Look at me, I can't clean you up! "The boy with the slingshot in his hand is about twelve or thirteen years old, and he is no longer a child. Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know what he has done, and it is very likely that the person who fell from the tree will be injured and fractured.

"What do you see? You're not convinced, are you? Facing Xia Shuanghan's eyes full of anger and anger, the young man holding the slingshot stepped back half a step slightly. But it seemed that he thought that showing weakness would hurt his face, so in the face of the barbarian in front of him who refused to give in, he raised his slingshot again and aimed at Xia Shuanghan's forehead.

Quickly raised his hand to grasp it, and the oncoming stones were held by Xia Shuanghan in the bloody palm of his right hand. Then, with all her might, she threw the bloody stone back at the boy's feet, and several arrows stepped forward, quickly reaching out and twisting the boy's arm before he could put up an effective resistance.

The young man whose arms were cut behind his back and who was kicked hard by Xia Shuanghan in his knee socket knelt unsteadily on the stone road with a "plop".

At the same time, just when the young man was scolding in pain, "You nonsense, you are dead, do you know who I am", Xia Shuanghan, who stepped on the young man's knee socket with one foot and pinched the young man's arm with one hand, turned to a few family members who wanted to come forward to help the young man with a cruel look in his eyes and said: "I advise you, before you start, it's best to find out who I am, otherwise it will me off, even if you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy later, my Xia Shuanghan will not stop without seeing blood!" ”

The surname Xia, Hu Ren, noble status, and murderous aura, thinking of these four elements, even if they have never seen Zhongyi Xiangjun himself and don't know her name Frost Cold, they have completely guessed her identity now.

"Young master, don't make trouble! Do you know that what you are insulting now is the loyal and righteous countryman who is enshrined by the Holy Lord, the princess of the king of Xiangyang! The family members who had discovered Xia Shuanghan's true identity came forward one by one and persuaded him: "Young master, why don't you hurry up and admit your mistakes obediently, and get up to make amends to the Zhongyi Xiangjun?" ”

"Admit mistakes? Apologies? Why? The young man who learned what Xia Shuanghan's identity was, was a little stunned and flustered, but soon, thinking that his own aunt was Xia Shuanghan's mother-in-law, he raised his head as if he had found a support, turned his head to Xia Shuanghan and threatened: "I tell you, if you know each other, let me go quickly, otherwise, beware of me going to my aunt to sue you, so that you can't eat and go around!" ”

"Sue me? It's simply the funniest joke I've ever heard! Xia Shuanghan, who raised his leg and stepped on the back of the young man, pressed the arrogant young man to bow down, and coldly hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Boy, I think that when I first used a horsewhip to make my opponent kneel and beg for mercy, you were still held in the arms of the nurse looking for milk to eat, and you want to fight with me, let's talk about it ten years later!" ”

"And, tell you, boy, I look down on you, you know? Sneak attacks from behind and hidden arrows hurt people, these are all sneaky tricks of villains. Knowing that he couldn't beat the other party, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere and find elders to stand up for him, are you really a man? Whole a soft-legged shrimp! If you really don't like me, it doesn't matter if you scold me openly, or hit me, I will accompany you to the end. If you can't do it, you will do some tricks behind the scenes that can't be put on the table, and the three words are simply tailor-made for you! ”

"I'm not a soft-footed shrimp! I'm not a wreck! The young man who was trampled on by Xia Shuanghan and knelt on the ground was obviously stung by her words, so he turned his head and said, "If you have the ability, you let go of me now, let's fight openly!" I still don't believe it, can I lose in your hands? ”

"Okay, that's what a man said, I'll give you this chance. If you lose, obediently bow your head and apologize to me, and if I lose, you can do whatever you want. ”

Seeing that Xia Shuanghan let go of his hand and took a few steps back, and returned the young man's freedom, and the young man who stood up also rolled his arms and sleeves to prepare for a fight, and everyone who never thought that he would come to worship his birthday and see this wonder was stunned.

In the Yong'an Waiting Mansion, Xie's elder brothers and younger brothers were all in front of the hospital, so in this courtyard, there were only young people who were about the same age as Xia Shuanghan and came out of the house after saluting the elders.

Therefore, in the case that the seniority of all the guests present was not higher than Xia Shuanghan, and the identity of most of them was not more noble than Xia Shuanghan, all the guests who understood that even if they came up to dissuade themselves, they would not be able to get any effect, and they all chose to wait and see.

As a guest, you just choose to wait and see, but as a host, you can't ignore this matter. However, just when a young man who was the young man's elder brother and had been entertaining guests at the other end of the garden was about to mediate the matter, Su Yixing, who was the most noble and had the most authority among the people present, stopped him.

"The incident started because your brother Zhuo Ting hurt people first, when he hasn't been taught a lesson and is unwilling to apologize, you want to step forward like this to stop and mediate, don't you think that my princess is easy to bully?"

Su Yixing's remarks made the young man who tried to step forward stop his steps after his face changed a few times. And where Su Yixing's eyes were headed, Xia Shuanghan, who was already in a posture on the open ground, also raised his hand to signal Xie Zhuoting, he could attack from any direction he liked, with any kind of move he was most confident in.

Although in the eyes of first-class masters such as Lu Shaoyun, Lin Xiran, and Su Yixing, Xia Shuanghan's martial arts attainments are really very shallow. It's just that against a young man like Xie Zhuoting, who can only use a few tricks and embroider his legs, and his physique is not strong, Xia Shuanghan has no problem at all with one against ten.

Seeing the dismantling moves, overcoming rigidity with softness, and dialing a thousand catties in four or two, but with a pillar of incense, Xia Shuanghan mastered the strength and only caused Xie Zhuoting a few flesh wounds, and once again suppressed him to the ground.

"How's it going, are you throwing in the towel now? Deadhearted? Xia Shuanghan, who twisted Xie Zhuoting's arm and pressed his back on one knee, smiled lightly: "Do you know where you did wrong now?" Will you apologize? ”

"Hmph, it's true that I lost today." Xie Zhuoting, who stood up after admitting defeat helplessly, apologized seriously and earnestly after losing the gamble, and then wrote to Xia Shuanghan with great ambition: "But I will never lose again next time." You see, I'm going to beat you in the future! ”

Xie Zhuoting, who was defeated, had a burning fighting spirit in his eyes that refused to admit defeat, and there was no narrow resentment, hatred, hatred and other negative emotions at all, so Xia Shuanghan, who believed that this kid knew that he could change his mistakes and that his son could be taught, said a little more kindly.

"Even if you can defeat a woman like me in the future, there is nothing to show off, and now Lu Tingxuan, the deputy commander of the Waijin Wuwei, entered the military camp alone at the age of twelve; Lin Xiran, who served in Jingzhao Yin Yamen, passed the layers of assessments at the age of sixteen and became a martial artist; and your cousin Su Zhechen, Wen Taowu is doing everything; If you can't take a long-term view, but always keep an eye on me, then the breadth of your life can only be confined to a square inch. ”

Xia Shuanghan's words triggered Xie Zhuoting's deep thinking, and she thought that this was the case, so she completely ignored others and turned to a certain family member on the side and said, "Where is the door to the inner courtyard that is closest to here?" ”

"Yes, on the west side." The family who was questioned lowered his head and only promised: "The princess, please go here, and the little one will take you there." ”

Hearing this, Xia Shuanghan, who was about to keep up with his family, finally failed to leave here in time as he wished. Because, Su Yixing, who had been watching the battle for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist because he remembered the wound on her right hand.

"You say this?" Turning around to see Su Yixing's Xia Shuanghan, she quickly figured out his purpose for holding herself, so she raised her eyebrows nonchalantly and said: "Since the beginning of last year, injuries and bleeding have become commonplace for me, I have experienced life and death several times, such a small wound, for me, is no different from being bitten by a mosquito." ”

"No, you don't care that I care, I'll find someone to deal with it for you."

Seeing that Su Yixing was going to urge someone to get her a medicine box for such a small injury, he felt that he was making a big fuss about Xia Shuanghan, walked into a pavilion beside him, grabbed the wine glass on the table, and poured all the cool wine on his right palm.

The crystal wine washed away the dust, dirt and residual blood in Xia Shuanghan's palm, and she frowned slightly because of the sting of alcohol, took out her handkerchief and sucked it on her hand, a pack, and then said: "Now it's okay, the wound is treated, can I go?" ”

"You...... I've never seen a woman as unfeminine as you! Su Yixing, who was made to cry and laugh for a moment by Xia Shuanghan's heroic behavior, didn't know how to evaluate her behavior.

"Then you can treat me like a man!" Xia Shuanghan, who shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, pouted and said: "I am going back to the inner courtyard now to appease those little beauties who are still worried about me, Lord Shizi, you must not be too jealous and envious of me!" ”

"......" Xia Shuanghan's response made the men, including Su Yixing, who heard these remarks, uncontrollably twitch the corners of their mouths. And because he had just been beaten, Xie Zhuoting, who had completely obeyed Xia Shuanghan, was the first to speak: "Sister Shizi is so manly, why didn't she give birth to a daughter?" ”

"It's almost messy, that's not your sister!" Faced with Xie Zhuoting's behavior, who was still scolding nonsense one moment, and calling his sister as if nothing had happened the next, Su Yixing just wanted to roll his eyes uncontrollably.

At the same time, just when the riot in the garden was completely quelled, the tenth young master Xie Zhuoting was beaten by the Zhongyi Xiangjun, and then respectfully admitted his mistake and apologized, and made up his mind to practice martial arts from the next day, which also reached the ears of the masters of the Yong'an Mansion.
