"Nie Suhyun."

"Miss Xu."

Xu Yourong called Nie Suhyun, he has always been "Nie Liu, Nie Liu", so it is really rare to call him by name and surname. Therefore, when Xu Yourong suddenly looked at him with a straight face at this time, Nie Suhyun lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"Don't use the beauty trick on me!"

“……”

“……”

Although the first snow of this year has already fallen, last night, there was the biggest snowstorm so far, paving the world to be white, making people look at it at a glance, and the clean ones are about to think that there is no wrong way in this world.

"Miss, it's so cold today, you might as well put on this one."

At this time, in the Zhengyan Pavilion, Wu Lin held a red feather cloak with large clusters of honey-colored peony and stopped in front of Xu Youshan, insisting on letting her change into it, otherwise she would not be allowed to go out.

"Mother Wu, it's not that I don't want to change, but I'm wearing warm enough now, so I really don't need to change into the one in your hand."

To be honest, today is very cold, so cold that Xu Youshan is now wrapped into a small zongzi, but looking at the cloak in Wu Lin's hand, which is warmer at a glance, Xu Youshan is very determined and will never wear it.

And why is that? Of course, it was because the red feather cloak with large clusters of brocade and peony in Wu Lin's hand was so eye-catching, so eye-catching that if Xu Youshan really wore it to the palace for a while to participate in the wedding of Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun, then she would definitely become the most eyeless character who went to other people's weddings to steal the limelight.

"Besides, Mother Wu. Don't you think the cloak you chose is a little too showy, it's really not very suitable for the occasion we are going to today. But looking at Wu Lin's uncompromising appearance at all. Xu Youshan couldn't help it, so she had to tell the truth tactfully.

"Miss, it's too gorgeous, you're so conservative, the old slave just sent someone out to inquire, only the young ladies in the house next door to us are all embroidered with gold and red. Compared to others, you're really going to the edge of the sky. ”

But since Wu Lin asked Xu Youshan to wear this, of course, it has already been considered. And what Wu Lin said is also true, compared with the ladies in other mansions who are also going to enter the palace today to participate in the wedding of Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun, Xu Youshan's body is too plain and inconspicuous.

"Ugh. Is there a ......?"

But today was supposed to be someone else's wedding. Qi Hong and Lord Shuoyun should be the focus of attention, shouldn't others take the initiative to avoid the limelight? Xu Youshan looked at her pale yellow filament gown embroidered with a hundred willow patterns, the Yuehua Su skirt embroidered with small floral flowers embroidered with celex, and the jade bead embroidered shoes embroidered with Bixia cloud pattern, and finally put on a lotus lotus flower light Luo cloak, which is inconspicuous but luxurious enough, this is the most suitable dress Xu Youshan thinks.

"Of course, you're too plain, if you're the only one to wear so elegantly, then you'll be the one who gets the most attention. So miss, just listen to the old slave. Hurry up and put this one on. ”

But when it comes to who can convince Xu Youshan the most, then Wu Lin must be one of them, because Wu Lin knows what Xu Youshan hates best, so he can often knock down the core of the problem and make Xu Youshan realize the importance of things. So this time it was the same, as soon as Wu Lin's words were finished, Xu Youshan really hesitated.

"But anyway, this red feather cloak with large clusters of honey-colored peony is too ostentatious."

"Don't swagger, don't swagger, then that's good, Miss, you now change into this one in the old slave's hand, and then take this one on your body, if you arrive at the palace after a while, you really think you wear this swagger, then change it back, how about it?"

If Wu Lin was given a little more time, Wu Lin would definitely be able to convince Xu Youshan, but now there is really not enough time, and the little maids outside the house have already probed their brains with nervous expressions, so Wu Lin can only compromise and think of a way to say to Xu Youshan.

"Okay."

And in the end, Xu Youshan finally changed into the red feather cloak with a large cluster of brocade peonies, stepped out of the Zhengyan Pavilion, and walked towards Weizhou Courtyard.

"Can you slow down any longer, Sister Shan?"

But Xu Youshan had just walked outside Weizhou Courtyard, and Xu Yourong's voice came from inside, and then Xu Youshan also saw Xu Yourong who came out surrounded by everyone. And just when she saw Xu Yourong's figure clearly, Xu Youshan immediately handed a look to Wu Lin beside her: What you said is so right.

Although Xu Yourong is not dressed up today, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort - the upper body is a colorful pomegranate embroidered robe dyed with smoke in the lake, which is tied up with a silver thread twisted bead waist seal, and a purple cloud of Peiyu hanging on it, which is extremely exquisite; On the lower body, Xu Yourong is wearing a bird dyed flower skirt embroidered with plum bamboo orchid trim, the complicated workmanship is clear at a glance, not to mention the catkins and catkins with a brocade trim on the outermost side, which looks more and more gorgeous against the backdrop of the two.

"It's rare, you're wearing the right clothes today, Wan'er, put back the crane I prepared for Sister Shan'er."

Looking at the other party's clothes, it was not only Xu Youshan who was surprised for a while, Xu Yourong also smiled at Wan'er unexpectedly when she saw the red feather cloak that Xu Youshan was wearing.

"I'm thanks to Mother Wu, otherwise...... Hehehe! ”

Xu Youshan told Xu Yourong about the conversation she had just had with Wu Lin's disagreement in Zhengyan Pavilion and her foresight with Wu Lin's family, so that Xu Yourong couldn't help but smile after listening to it: "You, it's thanks to having Mother Wu by your side." ”

Xu Yourong glanced at Wu Lin with appreciation, but Wu Lin immediately waved his hand to Xu Yourong and said that there was no such thing.

"Okay, Mother Wu, don't be modest, I know best how bad my girl's little head is." Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan and teased.

"Big sister." But Xu Youshan immediately quit.

"Oops...... It's not too early, I guess my mother should be in a hurry. But Xu Yourong turned his head. Pretending not to see Xu Youshan's bulging little face, he said seriously: "Quick, let's go to the Early Autumn Pavilion quickly." There is snow on the road, so everyone should be careful. ”

After speaking, Xu Yourong boarded the soft sedan chair, and looked at Xu Youshan with an expression of "How can you make your mother wait for a long time, this is not right", which directly made Xu Youshan cry and laugh and hurriedly got on the soft sedan chair, and then said to Xu Yourong: "Big sister." If you are more than a fool of yourself, you will almost be on your own. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Who complimented you?"

"You."

"Big Sister !!"

"Hahaha......"

On the way from Weizhou Courtyard and Zhengyan Pavilion to the Early Autumn Pavilion, there are laughter of Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan. Let the people who pass by can't stop smiling, anyway, there are these two eldest ladies of their family in the Xu Mansion, and they will definitely not be lonely.

But what if Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan are both married?

……

……

Xu Mansion, Early Autumn Hall.

"Is everything arranged?" Pei Shi looked at the orders in his hands one by one. Do one last check. On the other hand, Liu Ru next to him asked how all the matters in the palace were arranged.

"Don't worry, everything is in order." Liu Ru handed a cup of freshly brewed Longjing to Pei's family.

"That's good." Pei Shi took the tea bowl of Baiyu Chaoyang and said with a smile.

"But madam, is the second master really not going into the palace with us?" At this time, Liu Yue, who was about to wear the trimmed yellow embroidered gold silk cloak with a white background, suddenly interjected and asked.

"Well, Chen'er asked Dai Zhou to come back last night to pass the word. said that yesterday Taixue had a famous person come to the lecture class, and he and Brother Xuan didn't want to miss it. So they didn't come back, and after a while, they went directly to the palace from Taixue to the banquet. Pei Shi thought of his little nerdy child, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Chen'er is just a little nerd."

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss." And just when Pei was thinking about Xu Chen, a little nerd, Xu Yourong's voice had already come in, and then the voice of the whole courtyard also sounded.

"As far as you are poor, do you say that about your brother?" Although Pei Shi seemed to be counting Xu Yourong's poor mouth, she couldn't hide her happy look after looking at Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan who came with her.

"Mother."

"Auntie." And Xu Yourong also stuck out his tongue, and together with Xu Youshan, he saluted the Pei family first.

"Alright, come here." But Pei Shi didn't wait for the two of them to finish the salute, so he pulled the two of them to his side and sat down one by one, "It's cold today, you don't have to be so punctual, is it cold on this road?" ”

"Nope." Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan hurriedly showed that they were dressed very warmly, and this little cold air couldn't help them.

"Okay, just dress warmly, then you can sit down for a while, eat some pastries to pad your stomach, and when your grandmother wakes up, we will go over to her old man to say goodbye." Pei said gently.

And since Pei's said so, Xu Youshan, who has always had almost no objection to what Pei's said, was very obedient and quietly gobbled it on the hot kang, and Pei's green lotus cake that had been prepared for the two of them did not make a superfluous sound to disturb Pei's affairs.

Outside, I don't know when a little snow drifted and landed gently like a feather, and fell on the cobblestone path with fallen flowers; fell onto the roof of glazed tiles; It also fell into the bright flower screen window with a crack next to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan.

"It's snowing." Xu Youshan whispered.

"Well, but luckily it's Xiaoxue." Xu Yourong also replied at the same volume.

"I just don't know if it will turn into heavy snow after waiting for a while, if that happens, it will be difficult to walk."

Xu Youshan can imagine that the broad avenues to Miyagi are covered with snow. Although the snow will not be swept away by the people guarding both sides of the road in a short time, after all, the road will still be wet and slippery, and the carriages and horses will inevitably be much more bumpy than usual. As long as Xu Youshan thought that she would enjoy that kind of situation comparable to motion sickness and ecstasy, she immediately blackened her face.

"You too," and as soon as Xu Yourong saw Xu Youshan's expression, she could immediately know what she was thinking, "Other people hate to enjoy a Chinese car and BMW every day, but you are good, you like to walk all day long." ”

"Uh, didn't I listen to you, eldest sister? You didn't say that the Seventh Uncle Ancestor had said it. Walking is also good for the body? Xu Youshan prevaricated.

"Oh, is it my fault that you say that?"

"Nope. Xiaomei never thought like this, really. ”

Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan can be pulled around for so long because of a light snowfall, which is also amazing. And Wan'er and Chu Dai beside the two of them also couldn't hold back their laughter several times when Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were poor, which attracted the attention of others. But despite that. The room was still very quiet, and Xu Youshan's whispering did not disturb Pei's family. Pei Shi has been so busy that a little maid came to report that Old Lady Qi had gotten up.

Not to mention anything else, just age, Mrs. Qi is also old now. The common reaction of the elderly in winter is drowsiness. This old lady Qi is no exception. Therefore, at the time of Chenzheng, there was movement in Qinhua Hall, and this was the only time that someone came to inform Pei.

"Sister Rong, Sister Shan, your grandmother is awake, then you two have to prepare too, and you will go to Qinhuatang with me to say hello to her old man in a while." Pei Shi instructed Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan.

"Yes."

And Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, also under the service of Wan'er and Chu Dai, put on their cloaks again, and walked towards Qinhuatang with Pei Shi with the stove.

……

……

Today is the day when Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun held their wedding in the Ronghua Palace. It stands to reason that all those who are on the invitation list should go to the palace early in the morning to wait. to show respect for this wedding held according to Emperor Zhou Huidi's intentions. And the fact is that when the time is not yet right, there are already many guests in the Ronghua Palace.

"It's a lively day." And the people of the Xu family, who have never been special, are of course one of the many guests who have arrived early, and they are seated in a position in the Ronghua Hall at this time.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, how can it not be lively today."

Facing Xu Mingming's exclamation, Xu Yourong got into a fight with her in a word, but before Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng were about to quarrel again, Xu Youshan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, why haven't they come yet?" ”

Xu Youshan's words were ordinary, but the meaning of the words was not ordinary at all, Xu Chen didn't come, so of course Zhai Yu didn't come yet.

"It should take some time." Of course, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng also understood the meaning of Xu Youshan's words, "After all, Taixue is still a long way from this palace city, and the journey from Taixue here is not short." ”

"Hmm." Of course, Xu Youshan also knew that Taixue was not close to here, but since she saw Xie Jing's eyes just now, Xu Youshan was still uneasy.

When everyone in the Xu family entered the palace, the man naturally went to Guangming Palace to meet Emperor Zhou Hui first, and the woman naturally went to Wutai Palace to meet the Queen Mother first. And it was also when Xu Youshan and the others followed Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng to Wutai Palace to meet the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother left Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng to chat there, and asked the Pei family to take Xu Youshan and a few small ones to the Ronghua Hall first, and on the way, Xu Youshan and his party met the eldest prince Xie Jing and the second prince Xie Yan.

"See His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Here belongs to the Lian family's highest level of fate, so now Xu Youshan and the others are led by the Lian family, saluting Xie Jing and the others.

"Mrs. Xu, please get up, it's polite." And among Xie Jing and Xie Yan, everyone was watching at this time, and of course this was also said by Xie Jing, the eldest prince. And after Xie Jing finished speaking, Xie Yan also smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, are you going to Wutai Palace to ask the imperial grandmother to come back?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, yes, we just came out from Wutai Palace to ask the Queen Mother." Lian replied.

"Then why don't you see the two old ladies?" Xie Jing asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, my mother was left by the Queen Mother to speak, so we went to the Ronghua Hall first." Lian Shi Dao.

"So that's the case, then I still have something to do with the second emperor brother, so I won't delay you." Xie Jing didn't even glance at Xie Yan beside him, and suddenly ended this accidental meeting with a word. And Xie Yan, who was next to Xie Jing, didn't have any abnormal reaction after hearing him say this, and still smiled gently.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince said that he laughed, then we will leave first." But no matter what, Xu Youshan and the others couldn't wait to leave quickly, so Xie Jing's last words can be regarded as extremely praised by Xu Youshan and the others.

But this chance meeting should have ended like this. But unexpectedly. When Xu Youshan and his party were waiting for Xie Jing and Xie Yan to leave first, and Xie Jing and the others also passed by Xu Youshan and others, Xie Yan's jade pendant suddenly fell. And it fell in front of Xu Yourong.

"Oops, how could this jade pendant fall off." Xie Yan said in a strange tone.

"Yes, Second Emperor Brother, your jade pendant is so 'skillful'." And since Xie Yan stopped, Xie Jingzi also stopped, and that position happened to be next to Xu Youshan. But Xu Youshan didn't look up, just politely continued to lower her head. Look at the ground.

"What the eldest brother said is that it is indeed a coincidence." But after Xie Yan heard Xie Jing's words, he just bent his eyes and looked at Xie Jing and said. Then he took it and the palace maids hurriedly picked it up, and handed it to him with both hands.

And the delay caused by this accident was not long, Xie Jing and Xie Yan said a few more words "casually", and then separated from Xu Youshan and his party. But this time it's different. When Xie Jing turned around for the last time, Xu Youshan's afterglow saw Xie Jing's white long fingers, and after gently flicking the thousand-petal rose snow green twisted bead tassel he was wearing, he hurriedly looked up at him with a surprise in his eyes.

But when Xie Yan had completely turned around, and Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan's angle, only Xu Youshan and Chu Dai and Mother Liu behind her could see it, Xie Jing handed Xu Youshan a look.

Xu Youshan didn't dare to say how much she knew about Xie Jing. Over the years, the intersection of the two has not been broken. But it's not very often. But even so, for Xie Jing, Xu Youshan can still be said to be able to comprehend one or two points of his meaning. Just like now, the look in Xie Jing's eyes when he looked at her for the last time was clearly a warning, but what did he want to warn her to pay attention to?

There is danger!

Xu Youshan's eyes widened and looked at the direction where Xie Jing left again, but there would be no one there, Xie Jing and Xie Yan had already left. But the person is gone, but Xu Youshan's heart has not been calm since then, and since then, Xu Youshan has been paying special attention to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen.

Because Xie Jing is a person, for things that have nothing to do with him, then he, His Royal Highness the Great Prince, but even if someone dies in front of him, he will not blink an eye, of course, he will not help, he will only calmly turn around and leave. And this is such a calm person who can almost be said to be indifferent, if it has nothing to do with him, how could he take such a big risk and warn her in front of Pei's family and Xie Yan and many others.

The problem is that it can make Xie Jing take risks like this, and it has something to do with himself...... Or is it something that has to do with his own interests, what could it be?

Xu Youshan silently fixed her gaze on Xu Yourong and Xu Ming's body.

In today's court, although I dare not say that there is any clan whose power is far above the Xu family, there are still those who can compete with the Xu family, such as the Nie family of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Zhongshu Lingfang family, which have the same historical origin as the Xu family; There is also the Anyang Wen family, which suddenly appeared as a dark horse because of the current Shangshu Zuo Pu and Wen Rulin, which led to a great increase in family power in a short period of time.

But although there are still so many wealthy families that can be compared with the Xu family, why do the three princes Xie Jing only focus on Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen?

Of course, that's because, although there are indeed still big families that can compete with the Xu family, there are not very few other options, but among them, the Zhongshu Ling Fang family has already stood among the three princes, and at present, the interests of the two parties are deeply entangled, and it is generally impossible to break off, so whether it is someone else or the prince who has been chosen by them, it is impossible and does not need to waste the position of a princess to envelop them.

As for the Nie family of the Zhenguo Mansion, this kind of concubine who is directly a good fate and does not have the right age for the three princes of Xie Jing, then of course Xie Jing and they can't attack it.

In the end, like the Anyang Wen family, which has been in full swing in a short period of time, this new family that has just been promoted to a wealthy family, although it also needs to be wooed, but first, their background is not as deep as that of a top gate valve clan like the Xu family; Second, these families are gaining the favor of the emperor, and they are also relying on the holy family of Emperor Zhou Hui, at this time, it is necessary to say that they will not be pure ministers, but join their own side to participate in the succession, which has a small success rate.

Therefore, after calculating it, the one who can bring the greatest benefit to himself in the end belongs to the Jiangzuo Xu family.

And back then, after the third prince Xie Wen calculated that Xu Mingcheng missed, it led to Xu Mingming's lightning marriage to Qi Xuan, although it failed to hit the other two, but the impact was still there. (To be continued......)
