The noisy male and female seats of the birthday banquet are in the spacious front courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and the eyes are full of people in brocade clothes, all kinds of young talents and dignified sons, and beautiful women in colorful clothes, such men and women sit together, which is really rare nowadays.

Tilian sat with Princess Shenghua on the chair at the head, and during the banquet, there were several married princesses and royal daughters-in-law, all of whom were graceful and luxurious, but when it came to dignity and humility, they still couldn't be the same as Princess Shenghua.

The seat on their left is also the person with the heaviest guest position today, Jiang Luoxiu is also among them, Yun Hou is sitting in the right position, and even Yun Shili is also there, at the beginning of the banquet, Yun Hou personally raised his glass to thank the guests, and then the food and wine took turns to eat, and everyone talked and laughed Yan Yan was peaceful.

Just when Tilian was impatient and thinking about leaving the table early, a person hurriedly came in from the open door, it was the chief steward who welcomed guests outside the Hou Mansion today, and then the servants of various families poured in from outside the door, and they all found their masters whispering in their ears.

At Tilian's table, Princess Shenghua's henchman Pingqing came over first, and whispered in Princess Shenghua's ear, and Dilian was sitting beside her and could hear clearly.

"The army has triumphed, and it has reached twenty miles outside the city, and Rong Guogong and the mighty general have entered the palace together to meet His Majesty."

Di Lian was stunned, and stood up abruptly in the midst of the loud discussions, her sudden action attracted everyone at the table to look at her, Princess Shenghua said in surprise, "Lian'er? ”

His subordinates trembled slightly, and Tillian stared at her, "The army is triumphant?" ”

When Princess Shenghua heard this, she nodded in a daze, "Yes." Then he smiled gently, "Rong Guogong and the mighty general have entered the palace to face the saint, according to the old practice, the army will be stationed outside the city tonight, and tomorrow the emperor will lead hundreds of civil and military officials and women to welcome the army into the city outside the palace gate." ”

Xie Hengxu has already arrived outside the city, will she still wait for this night?

Without saying much, Tillian turned around and left, ignoring the call of Princess Shenghua behind her and the attention of everyone, she walked extremely fast, faster and faster, and finally picked up the skirt that fell to the ground and ran on the corridor.

Yun Shili stared at it in a daze, unconsciously stood up, and walked up to catch up with the corridor, but after five steps, he stopped steadily, he watched Tilian run out of the door through the corridor, the fluttering skirt slid down with her stop, she stood outside the doorrail and looked at the spacious street outside the mansion and didn't know what she was looking at.

However, everyone who paid attention to it in an instant understood the reason why she stopped and stared, the sound of the horse's hooves was clear and urgent, and it was getting closer and closer, and a tall black horse neighed and stopped outside the mansion, and the body of the horse was quite broad in front of the horse, the scarlet military uniform was silver and black armor, and the corners of the black brocade cloak were flying, the man held the helmet in his left arm, the reins in his right hand, and the phoenix eyes with sharp eyebrows and essence, he sat on the back of the swaying horse and stared at the woman standing outside the gate of the mansion, and for a moment the handsome and handsome face slowly appeared with a smile, like the morning glow and the bright sun.

Tilian only felt that her throat was dry and her vision was blurred, and she gasped twice before she whispered in a trembling voice, "Xie Hengxu." ”

In two years, this man's eyebrows have become hard and calm, his dignified and chic aura has added a bit of sharpness and urgency, his body is taller, and his complexion is slightly darker, but this scorching smile like the morning sun has no one else in the world except him.

Xie Hengxu looked at the girl on the steps, she had grown a lot taller, her body was delicate, and she already had the graceful and soft taste of her daughter's family, her skin was as beautiful as the moon, her eyebrows were clear, and she was like a flower in the clouds. Over the years, since the young jade-like old-fashioned doll in his heart, he has never seen her cry, but today she is crying, and crying is very beautiful.

The smile did not decrease, Xie Hengxu turned over and dismounted neatly on the corners of his lips, strode up the steps, opened his arms and approached in a blink of an eye and hugged Tillian in his arms, and the general's helmet wolf bèi rolled under the horse's hooves did not cause him to turn back.

Filled with a faint smell of blood and dust between his noses, as well as the faint smell of rosin on Xie Hengxu's body, Tilian slowly raised her hand and grabbed the edge of his cloak, and called his name in a lost voice, the more she called, the more anxious she became, and finally her feelings were difficult to suppress, crying like a child.

"Xie Hengxu, Xie Hengxu, Xie Hengxu."

The smile was slightly restricted, the quintessential black phoenix eyes were soft and slightly bright, and Xie Hengxu held her with one hand and followed her black and soft hair with the other.

"I'm not coming back, don't cry, don't cry, Lian'er, don't cry."

Everyone in the court looked at the two people who were embracing each other, and no one made a sound to interrupt them.

Yun Shili stopped under the corridor, quietly looked at Di Lian who was holding Xie Hengxu, quietly looked at Di Lian who was held by Xie Hengxu, her pure face was calm and waveless, her deep peach blossom eyes were deep, her eyelids slowly drooped, and she left the courtyard in silence.

The Xie family was the first to come back to their senses, and the Su family blinked their phoenix eyes, looked at Mrs. Xie beside them, looked surprised and strange, and muttered, "Mother." ”

The warm moon eyes moved slightly, Mrs. Xie smiled lightly, looked at the pair of children who hugged each other and ignored everyone, and said slowly for a while, "Since Grandpa Guo is back, let's leave after dinner." ”

Su's expression was calm, and he smiled gently and whispered.

Bai Shi on the side retracted his gaze at this time, and whispered with a smile, "It's good that I finally grew up and understood my mind." ”

There are still many things to be busy after the triumph of the army, the emperor wants to reward the three armies, the palace has to hold a celebration banquet, and the envoy of the Starfall Dynasty who came to make peace with Emperor Rui has to meet in person, to determine the candidate for peace with the six princesses of Starfall, and to escort the envoy back to China after the wedding.

Xie Hengxu made a lot of military exploits this time, and the emperor even rewarded him as the general of the four-rank Xiaocai, commanding 80,000 Gyeonggi troops, in charge of the security of the capital.

participated in the celebration banquet in the palace, and Tilian did not see Xie Hengxu for several days. I heard that he received a reward, entered the palace to thank him, went to the Gyeonggi military camp outside the city to hand over, and took a few personal guards to familiarize himself with the internal divisions and arrangements of the Gyeonggi army.

Di Lian didn't have much time to wait for him, since Jiang Luoxiu knew that 'Diner Huan' was her industry, she didn't restrict her from going out much, so that Tilian had more time to go to 'Diner Huan', and now she was very handy in handling the account books in various places, and most of the days passed in a hurry.

It was half a month after Xie Hengxu finally had his leisure, and at that time, he went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion early in the morning with a break from his life, but he didn't see Di Lian, and then turned around and went to 'Diners'.

After coming back for a while, he took the Gyeonggi Army to and fro in the streets and alleys of Kyoto several times, passing by diners several times, and now standing in front of the door and taking a closer look, he found that except for a few red gauze lamps under the eaves of the second and third floors, nothing else has changed.

As soon as Xie Hengxu stepped into the door, the big shopkeeper in the restaurant saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Master Xu, you are back." ”

Seeing his old face smiling and slightly dry, Xie Hengxu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced upstairs, and said with a smile and joke, "What's the matter, your girl gave you good fruits?" ”

Uncle Wen, the big shopkeeper, smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in a low voice while leading him upstairs, "I originally thought that the girl was a woman, and she should be more gentle in handling things, but I don't know, I know that she is even more iron-fisted than Master Xu, and the following branches are trembling every time they enter Beijing to report their accounts, no matter how meticulous we do, we can always find out the mistakes." ”

Xie Hengxu laughed when he heard it, waved his hand to signal him to get busy, went up to the third floor by himself, and pushed the door straight outside the door when he got to.

Xie Hengxu closed the door with his hand, and when he took two steps inside, he saw the girl in the green skirt on the soft couch in the east sitting cross-legged on the side of the small table, holding a tea bowl with broken flowers and glass, his eyes fell on the open account book, and he didn't look back when he heard him come in.

Xie Hengxu stepped forward with his hands in his hands, sat sideways beside her, and leaned over to look at the account book.

Getting so close, Tillian finally looked sideways at him, and said as she put down the teacup, "Where are you from?" ”

With a smile in his phoenix eyes, Xie Hengxu pulled the account book with one hand, "Zuo Xiangfu." Then his gaze fell back to the account book.

Tillian blinked, looked at him in a navy blue arrow-sleeved brocade robe, and said lightly, "Oh, you are resting today." ”

With a raised eyebrow, Xie Hengxu raised the account book in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at her, "This account book is the pearl and jade shop in the back street?" ”

Withdrawing her hand to take back the account book, Tillian put it aside, and said word by word to him with her chin high, "This is my only asset, and you are not allowed to interfere." ”

Xie Hengxu smiled when he heard this, his brows frowned slightly, "I've just been away for a while, and now you're going to split up and work alone?" What did you say you wanted to get rich together? The fickle woman. ”

Tilian didn't bother to watch him play treasure, folded the account books one by one and put them on the side of the small table, stretched out her hand and pushed Xie Hengxu, "Get up." ”

Standing up and watching her bend over and put on her shoes to stay, Xie Hengxu pouted, "You still hugged me and cried that day, and you looked like you missed me very much, and today you ignore me like this." ”

Giving him a blank look, Tillian stepped down on her feet, stood in front of him and looked up, "Since you are okay today, accompany me to a place." Then he turned and walked out.

Xie Hengxu reached out and took the silver cloak that was placed on the side of the soft couch, and followed her step by step, putting the cloak on her shoulders and asking, "Where are you going?" ”

Tilian didn't speak, raised her hand to tie the knot of her cloak, Xie Hengxu didn't ask any more questions when she saw this, opened the door, and the two came out one after the other.

Watching Tilian put on the screen's hat, Xie Hengxu suddenly smiled and said, "You are wearing a mask, and when others see me together, they will know that it is Jiang Dilian." ”

With a frowning brow, Tillian raised her eyes and glared at him, "Couldn't it be another woman?" Are you a little devil in the world, do you have a few confidantes or strange things? ”

Xie Hengxu smiled brightly, leaned down slightly and lowered his voice, "There is no need to mention the previous things, now I am a young and promising General Xie, who loves Zuo Xiang's daughter, who doesn't know this Kyoto?" ”

Fall in love? Tillian squinted at him, wrinkled her nose and made a vomit gesture.

Immediately afterwards, I heard someone laugh and call, "Look, General Xie is busy with government affairs, and he doesn't forget to accompany the beautiful woman when he is free." ”

The two of them arrived at the staircase at the corner of the second floor at this time, and turned around in unison when they heard the sound, but saw a man in blue clothes with a beautiful appearance and upright eyebrows standing outside the door of a private room with his hands in his hands, with a smile on his face, and he looked graceful and full of books from a distance.

Tilian retracted her gaze and looked sideways at Xie Hengxu.

Xie Hengxu's smile was bright and bright, and he called, "Zixie, why are you here too?" ”

Hearing this, the man paced over and said with a smile, "A busy person like General Xie has a rest, wouldn't it be more free and easy for me to live in the military department?" He bowed lightly to Tillian.

Tillian smiled lightly and bent her knees slightly.

Seeing this, Xie Hengxu stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, and explained to Di Lian, "This is Feng Xie, the second son of the mighty general, Zixie and I were in and out of Beiguan that day, and we repelled the Starfall army several times together, don't look at him as white and pure as a scholar, in fact, his handwriting is not as good as mine." ”

Di Lian laughed when she heard this, the person who can make Xie Hengxu's words so casual must not be a simple acquaintance, and when she looks at Feng Xie again, she is not annoyed, but laughs at herself.

"The Xie family is a century-old aristocrat, and the Duchess of the Kingdom is from a famous scholarly family, so she must be quite strict about the calligraphy of the descendants of the house, but I hate that I don't love poetry and books since I was a child, and the Communist Party will lose to you with that handwriting, and you have to show off everywhere."

Xie Hengxu raised his eyebrows, "Defeat is defeat, don't make excuses for yourself." ”

Feng Xie shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at the silent Dilian, and then said, "You have something to leave with Miss Dilian, go quickly, don't delay here." ”

Xie Hengxu waved his hand, "I'll invite you to drink next time I have the opportunity." Then whispered to Tillian, "Let's go." ”

Tilian bowed her head, saluted Feng Xie again, and turned around and walked down the stairs first, Xie Hengxu nodded at Feng Xie and followed closely.
