Chapter 51: A Clear Day

On the contrary, Xu Yu should also be a different teenager, and in terms of talent and morality, Xu Sui also needs to reach a certain height, otherwise how could he let Zhai Yu be so honest with each other? Therefore, even if it is not said that Xu Sui has the amazing posture of no one before or since, then at least in the world's highest institution of learning, Taixue, Xu Sui should also stand out from the crowd.

But even in this Taixue, Xu Xuan, who can stand out from the crowd, also has regrettable things, so how can he not make Zhai Yu sigh?

But no matter what Xu Yu and Zhai Yu who were by the lake at this time, what they thought in their hearts, anyway, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, who were now outside the gate of Taixue, had been standing for a long time because they had been waiting for Xu Chen.

"Eldest sister, why don't we go back to Merlin first." Xu Youshan said tactfully.

"Okay." But Xu Yourong replied directly in affirmative.

But just as the two of them were about to walk back to Meilin to sit down and rest their legs, a figure that was familiar to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan came out of Taixue.

"Big sister, little sister." Xu Chen was still far away, so he called out to Xu Youshan and the others.

"Chen'er."

"Second brother." And Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan also shouted happily after seeing Xu Chen. After all, they haven't seen each other for a while, and for Xu Chen, a little nerd, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan also miss each other very much.

"Why is it so rare today, you actually came out so quickly, didn't you usually have to make us wait for a long, long time before you moved to see you?" Xu Yourong first took a good look at Xu Chen's face, and found that he was quite energetic. Hao teased him unceremoniously.

And Xu Yourong's words are also true, because when Xu Youshan and the others came to see Xu Chen in the past, Xu Chen spent most of his time studying. And as long as he's in the stacks of books. If Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan wanted to invite him out to meet them, it was almost extremely laborious. Therefore, this time, when Xu Youshan and the others felt that their legs were a little sore, they were ready to simply return to Meilin and wait for Xu Chen, but they didn't want him to appear at such a fast speed today.

"Big sister." But under Xu Yourong's teasing, Xu Chen's handsome face, which has always been amazingly thin, immediately blushed and said, "Don't bother me anymore, I really didn't mean to." ”

"Poof" and looked at Xu Chen's already slightly red face. Xu Youshan laughed and said, "Second brother, you obviously know that the eldest sister is messing with you." But you apologize so seriously every time, I really don't know what to say about you. ”

"......" has always been a pair of Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, and Xu Chen, who couldn't do it, was under the smiling gaze of the two of them. Xu Chen was blocked and didn't know what to say. And looking at Xu Chen's small handsome face, there is a tendency to become more and more red. Finally stopped bothering him, Xu Yourong smiled and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, let's go to Merlin and sit down." ”

Anyway, there are too many rules, and "idle people" like Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan can't go in, so the three of them tacitly walked into the plum forest not far away together, and chose a pavilion under the tree where no one was. Sit down and talk.

"Eldest sister, why did you two come to me today. Isn't it a feast for the lord of Shuoyun and his lord today? The family should be very busy, and you and your little sister should also have a lot to prepare. Xu Chen said.

"Yes, Sister Shan and I are actually very busy today, so we shouldn't be here." And Xu Yourong didn't shirk anything to Xu Chen, and said directly: "But no matter how busy you are, the two of us still come here to find you because of one thing." Now, Cousin Xuan and Cousin Hong are not in Taixue, right? ”

"Yes." Xu Yourong said bluntly, and Xu Chen immediately guessed the direction of the matter, "It's the Shuoyun County Lord's banquet today, does it have anything to do with Cousin Hong?" ”

Today's biggest event is the banquet of the lord of Shuoyun in the palace of the king of Li, and it is also related to this banquet that Qi Xuan and Qi Hong, who went to the banquet abnormally today. But Qi Xuan had already married Xu Mingxi, and there was little chance that he and the Lord of Shuoyun would be able to get involved; Then the only thing left was Qi Hong, so after listening to Xu Yourong's words, Xu Chen immediately associated Qi Hong with the Lord of Shuoyun.

And Xu Yourong, who looked at Xu Chen's reaction so quickly, looked at Xu Youshan and smiled, and said, "You are right, today's banquet of the Lord of Shuoyun has something to do with Cousin Hong, and it is also a great relationship. My uncle and grandmother will be at the banquet in a while, proposing to the lord of Shuoyun County for Cousin Hong. ”

"Is that really the case?"

Xu Yourong said something amazing, and after Xu Chen heard it, he didn't look surprised at all, but frowned slightly and said, "No wonder last night, Cousin Xuan and Cousin Hong only said that they were going to this banquet of the Lord of Shuoyun today, but they didn't say a word about the reason. ”

"Cousin Xuan didn't say it, that's easy to understand, it must be because Cousin Hong didn't mention it. But Cousin Hong didn't mention the reason for this, I'm sure you can guess the reason. For the ancestors and uncles, they wanted Cousin Hong to marry the Lord of Shuoyun, of course, they felt that the Lord of Shuoyun was the best choice as Cousin Hong's wife. But for Cousin Hong himself, even if he can make the old ancestor feel less guilty about him, this marriage is worth it. Xu Yourong said in a low voice.

What Xu Yourong said is not only a fact, but also a fact that makes people feel extremely distressed about Qi Hong. And Xu Yourong knew that Xu Chen, who got along with Qi Hong almost day and night in Taixue, understood it even more thoroughly. Therefore, at this time, even Xu Yourong, who had just talked about this with Xu Chen because of Zhai Yu, and Xu Chen suddenly fell silent.

"But it's unfair to anyone."

But just when the pavilion was quiet and a little scary, Xu Youshan's voice suddenly remembered.

Xu Yourong and Xu Chen also immediately looked at Xu Youshan, and Xu Youshan pursed her lips, but continued: "For Cousin Hong, even if he really doesn't like the Lord of Shuoyun, as long as he agrees to this marriage for his own sake, and feels that he will respect the Lord of Shuoyun for a lifetime, then there is nothing to say. But now, Cousin Hong agreed to this marriage for the sake of his ancestors and uncles, so whether it is for Cousin Hong or the lord of Shuoyun who was hidden in the dark. It's all unfair, and we can't let them get married like that. ”

Xu Youshan said loudly, while Xu Yourong and Xu Chen were dumbfounded.

"Sister Shan. Tell me honestly, who told you this. ”

But Xu Yourong was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and also squinted at Xu Youshan and asked.

"Uh, no... Nobody, of course, that's what I'm saying. And facing Xu Yourong's dangerous eyes, Xu Youshan swallowed her saliva. Stammered.

"Shan, sister, son."

"Huh... Ha ha... Hahaha......"

"Say !!"

"Auntie."

“……”

“……”

In the end, under Xu Yourong's "gentle" and no longer "gentle" eyes, Xu Youshan obediently told the truth. And Xu Yourong heard that this was said by Pei's family. pinched Xu Youshan's little face, "With your little head, how could you come up with such a thing and want to lie to us." You're really ...... Little fool. ”

Xu Chen also poked Xu Youshan's forehead gently with amusement and anger. Said: "You~~~"

"But when did my mother say this, why didn't I hear it?" It can be said that as long as the four of Xu Youshan are together, almost all of them are not separated from Meng and Meng is not out of focus, so Xu Youshan heard Pei's words, but Xu Yourong didn't hear it, which really surprised her. Could it be that my memory is so bad at a young age? Xu Yourong thought to himself in shock.

But just when Xu Yourong was thinking about it, Xu Youshan, who rescued her blushing face from her, said: "Yesterday, eldest sister, didn't you and Sister Huan have a lot to say, then after I pulled Sister Yu to the other side." I accidentally heard my aunt and grandmother talk about Cousin Hong's incident, and what I just said. That's what the eldest aunt said at that time. ”

"Oh."

And after Xu Youshan finished speaking, Xu Yourong understood, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"But if the eldest aunt says this, doesn't she also disapprove of Cousin Hong's doing."

Yes, Qi Hong's approach is actually unfair to both him and the Lord of Shuoyun. But how many marriages are fair in the current wealthy marriages? Or should it be said, in fact, the marriage between today's wealthy family lords is unfair to the two parties to the family.

But despite this, after all, Qi Hong is Xu Youshan's relative, so when these things that should have been regarded as the norm a long time ago happened to their relatives, they could no longer treat them with a normal heart.

Therefore, after Xu Yourong and Xu Chen were silent for a while, Xu Yourong said decisively to Xu Chen: "Chen'er, Youshan and I came to you today just to tell you about this. Although we can't talk much about the decision of the elders, it is a lifelong event for Cousin Hong, and I expect that he and Cousin Xuan will not explain the reason to you. So I hope that after you know all this, you can go to the Liwang Mansion with us in a while to attend this feast of the Shuoyun County Lord. If I could, I would certainly like Cousin Hong to listen to the advice of those of you who share his ambitions; But if nothing changes in the end, then I hope you'll be there as we are, no matter what the outcome is. ”

"Okay."

Xu Yourong said this sadly, and Xu Chen should be lonely, because even if they said it so clearly at this time, the three of them could almost predict what the final result would be.

"Then you can get ready and go home...... Oh, by the way, if you can, bring a few more of Cousin Hong's close friends, and I hope he can listen to one or two of your words, that's good. Fortunately, Xu Yourong didn't forget about Zhai Yu, and finally added another sentence.

"yes, I know." And the same good thing is that Xu Chen didn't hear Xu Yourong's words.

Qi Hong has a special identity, and he has extraordinary talents, so his temperament is a little different. And there are very few people who can be honest with a special person like him, in the current Taixue, except for Qi Xuan, Xu Chen and Xu Xuan, who have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings have been cultivated by a naturally excellent environment, they have just added a Zhai Yu.

Therefore, Xu Yourong asked Xu Chen to bring more of Qi Hong's close friends to the Liwang Mansion for a banquet, which is to put it bluntly, it simply means that Xu Chen will take Zhai Yu with him.

But Xu Chen was now immersed in his emotions, so he didn't hear Xu Yourong's voiceover, and he just thought it was like what Xu Yourong said. A few more people went to persuade Qi Hong to do their part.

"Then eldest sister, I'll call my eldest brother too."

And just as Xu Chen judged according to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan. was already thinking about calling Zhai Yu together, but Xu Chen also remembered another person at the same time, who was also Qi Hong's close friend. And if you really talk about the intimacy and deep relationship with Qi Hong, of course, this person is still better than Zhai Yulai.

- Xu Xuan!

“……”

“……”

But Xu Chen had just finished speaking, but Xu Yourong suddenly froze. And Xu Youshan, who was originally facing Xu Chen, immediately looked sideways at Xu Yourong when his words had just landed.

If it is said

For Xu Xi. Xu Yourong is not to be seen, or there are more and deeper complaints, and there are many negative emotions that cannot be spoken, so for Aunt Mo. Xu Yourong is straightforward hatred. In Xu Yourong's eyes, the misfortune of Pei's life seems to have started with Aunt Mo...... Maybe it would be more precise, when Aunt Mo was pregnant with Xu Xi's child. It kicked off the prelude to the Pei family's misfortune.

And who is the child that Aunt Mo is pregnant with?

It is the eldest son of the Xu family clan in the current Jiangzuo - Xu Xuan.

"Big Sister"

And after his own words have been said. Seeing Xu Yourong's expression that immediately froze, and Xu Youshan's suddenly sad eyes, Xu Chen suddenly blamed himself.

Regarding Xu Yourong's feelings for Aunt Mo and Xu Xuan, if anyone knows best, then Xu Chen must be one of them. And in the childhood of him and Xu Yourong, and in the years after that, because of Xu Xuan, the injuries they suffered, Xu Chen still can't forget it. But. They may be innocent, but Xu Xuan is also innocent. Especially since Xu Chen moved to the outer courtyard after he was eight years old. and Xu Xuan, who almost didn't look up and looked down, spent a very long time together.

And in such a long time, they got along day and night, and several spring and autumn came to study the saint's classics together, even the cicadas in summer and the snow in winter, they have been working hard together in Sheng'an Xuan. Whenever they are tired of each other, as long as they see the figure of the other person who does not give up, they will continue to whip themselves. Therefore, whether it is the brotherly affection that blood is thicker than water, or the competitive relationship that has a common mountain to cross, or the love of classmates who cherish each other's talents, morality and personality charm, etc.

Anyway, between Xu Chen and Xu Xuan today, they are no longer simple relatives, they are half-brothers; It is also a close friend who has the same goal and moves forward together; It is also the person behind the delivery who can be honest with each other without concealment.

Therefore, Xu Yourong's extremely complex feelings for Xu Xuan, Xu Chen understands; But also for Xu Xuan, like them, is the most innocent innocent, Xu Chen also understands. But when both parties are people they regard as important, but one of them has never been able to let go of the other, Xu Chen not only can't blame her, but he has no other emotions except for being distressed.

"I'm fine."

As for Xu Chen, in the eyes of others, being good to Xu Yu is a case of rebellion, but Xu Yourong is surprisingly calm.

And why is that?

In fact, Xu Yourong didn't know, but she didn't tell Xu Chen, nor did she tell him, in fact, what Xu Chen wanted her to understand, she understood. And if Xu Sui is a child of an aristocratic family like most of the people in the Shendu, he is unlearned, arrogant, and not such a Jizi Longwen, then she will not have such complex feelings for him - resentment and resentment are not deep, and hatred and hatred can't.

Yes, in fact, Xu Yourong is innocent to Xu Sui, she knows; Xu Sui is a good boy, and she knows it. But so what? Even if Xu Sui is innocent and a good boy, his existence reminds people of one thing at every moment and every moment, that is, Pei's misfortune, and it is also Pei's biggest joke in his life.

And knowing and understanding has never been the same as relief since ancient times.

Therefore, maybe Xu Yu will be someone Xu Yourong will never be able to let go, or it may be someone Xu Yourong will never be able to treat calmly.

"I'm really fine."

But despite this, when looking at Xu Chen and Xu Youshan looking at her at this time, the sadness and distress in their eyes, Xu Yourong pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled hard: "Bring him along, after all, Cousin Hong is also unusual to him." …… That's it, Chen'er, you get ready, you have to go back to Dongyang Lane at noon, remember not to delay. Sister Shan. Let's go. ”

After Xu Yourong finished speaking, Xu Youshan followed her into the carriage without saying anything. Since Xu Yourong didn't want them to worry, then she let the eldest sister think. She wasn't worried.

"Yes, Chen'er knows." And Xu Chen was also in the same mood as Xu Youshan, so after agreeing to the promise, Xu Chen watched the carriage carrying Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, escorted by a large group of people and horses, drifting away.

*****

*****

Taixue, by the small lake. Since Xu Chen left, Xu Xuan and Zhai Yu have been silent.

Xu Sui looked at the rippling blue waves on the water surface of the small lake, and also watched the fallen leaves flying down from the branches on both sides. Floating gently in the lake, as the lake slowly flowed into the distance, it was gradually lost in sight, just like many things and many people that one expected. Also with the years this great river. Always in the distance in front of you, moving forward together, but never getting closer.

As for Zhai Yu, he just looked at the book he was holding in his hand, although it seemed that he was extremely attentive at the moment, but as long as he carefully observed him for a while, he could find out. It turned out that the book in his hand hadn't been turned over for a long time.

And just when these two people didn't know where the soul wandered into the world. Xu Chensheng arrived before others, "Brother Du, big brother, you hurry up and pack up, and go back to Dongyang Lane with me." ”

"Second brother, what's wrong, is there something wrong at home? …… Or is there any trouble with the eldest sister and the younger sister? Xu Xuan looked at Xu Chen's rare anxious face, and hurriedly asked.

"No, no, no, the family and the eldest sister are fine, it's Cousin Hong's accident." Xu Chen briefly told Xu Xuan and Zhai Yu about the fact that the Princess Rui of Beiding wanted to marry the lord of Shuoyun on behalf of Qi Hong. Of course, he also said Pei's words and Xu Yourong's and Xu Youshan's views.

After Xu Xuan and Zhai Yu heard this, the former was fine, and immediately agreed to go to the Liwang Mansion with Xu Chen. As for the latter, Zhai Yu didn't take too long, so he also nodded.

So Xu Chen and the three of them immediately went back to their respective houses to clean up, and they met together and headed towards Dongyang Lane.

Dongyang Lane, Xufu.

"Eldest sister, did you say that Zhai Gongzi would come?"

After separating from Xu Chen, Xu Youshan and the two rushed all the way back to Dongyang Lane, and along the way, Xu Yourong was originally very silent, but Xu Youshan insisted on laughing and singing, and using eighteen martial arts together to make Xu Yourong happy, which finally made her smile return to her face.

"Of course." And by the time he returned to Dongyang Lane, Xu Yourong had already returned to normal, "Don't talk about anything else, just look at the situation reported by Dai Zhou these few times, it seems that since Zhai Dagongzi entered Taixue, he and Chen'er and Cousin Hong have been fighting hotly, and the relationship is not ordinarily good, so in the current situation of Cousin Hong, do you say that Zhai Dagongzi will not come?" Even if we only talk about the Zhai Dagongzi we have known in the short period of time ago, he will definitely come. ”

Xu Yourong said with confidence and determination, but Xu Youshan listened and bared her teeth and said, "Eldest sister, of course what you said is right, but the words are ...... Can you not use the word 'hot'? ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong with that?" Xu Yourong tilted his head and looked at Xu Youshan.

"Of course not." And Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong with an innocent face, twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "This will lead people to misunderstand, okay?" Eldest sister. ”

Playing hot? Feelings are not generally good? No matter who hears it, this is an extremely misunderstood sentence, okay? And people who don't know will think that this is a little couple, if Xu Chen, Cousin Hong, and Zhai Yu know about it, then I really don't know what they will feel.

"What's wrong with that?" But Xu Yourong said confidently.

But Xu Youshan covered her eyes, and after glancing at Xu Yourong with an unteachable look, she left without speaking.

"Hey, what do you mean by those eyes, Xu Youshan, you come back to me."

The sky above Xu's Mansion in Dongyang Lane was once again filled with the roar that people were familiar with every day, and listening to Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan's laughter, everyone in Xu's Mansion couldn't help but laugh with them.

It seems that today will also be a sunny day. (To be continued......)
