"Oh, there's such a thing." But Zhai Yu looked at Xu Chen, who was struggling in Xu Xuan's hands, and couldn't help laughing for a while: "Okay, Xuan'er, you just let go of Chen'er and let him speak." Besides, you don't know Chen'er's temperament? How could he say something out of thin air, since he said it, then Mr. Yi An must have said it like this, didn't he? ”

"Brother Zhai, why are you messing around with Chen'er." Xu Xuan was said by Zhai Yu, and Jun's face turned even redder.

"Oh, big brother, just let me say it." And Xu Chen finally broke free of Xu Xuan's hand that prevented him from continuing to speak, and said: "What Brother Zhai said is exact, Mr. Yi An has obviously praised the eldest brother many times, but the eldest brother always won't let me say it, and said that it was just Mr. Yi An's words of comfort, and it should not be taken seriously." ”

"Hey, Mr. Yi An still speaks comforting words? How I don't know. Zhai Yu said with a smile.

Mr. Yi'an, a great Confucian of Taixue, although he is famous all over the world for his talent, his harshness of the old man is also famous all over the world. Not to mention that he wants his old man to say a compliment that is inconsistent with the facts in order to comfort the student, even if he wants the old man to nod his head at the nonsense for some comfort or something, it is impossible. Therefore, Xu Sui said that Mr. Yi'an's comments that he had just praised were just words of comfort, and they were really jokes.

"Yes, Brother Zhai, how could Mr. Yi An say such praise in order to motivate the students, it is simply impossible." Xu Chen said approvingly.

"Okay, Brother Zhai, Second Brother, don't make fun of me anymore." And the harmony between Xu Chen and Zhai Yu made Xu Sui finally shy and couldn't stand it.

"Hahaha......"

But it is also a loss to Xu Chen and Zhai Yu for singing and harmonizing. made Xu Xuan, who was still a little lonely just now, suddenly become vivid and happy at this time.

But Xu Sui was vivid and happy, but some people quieted down. And Xu Youshan, they looked at such a situation. I also want to stroke my forehead and sigh.

"Wow, Sister Rong, do you like this almond ice cream very much?"

"I don't like it."

“……”

And since everyone was at the same banquet, the conversation between Zhai Yu and Xu Yu just now, Xu Youshan and the others naturally heard it clearly from beginning to end. Therefore, when Xu Mingcheng leaned into Xu Yourong's ear, she whispered to the gourd and asked her if she liked the almond ice cream in her hand very much, hoping that Xu Yourong would cooperate. Xu Yourong refused coldly.

"Hey, Xu Yourong, can you not be so uncooperative." Xu Ming said angrily.

"I can't." Xu Yourong glanced at her. Simply replied.

"Xu Yourong !!"

"What."

"You're annoying."

"Each other, each other!"

But no matter what, in fact, as long as Xu Youshan and the four of them are by each other's side and accompany each other, there seems to be nothing that can't be passed. Not to mention the small "quiet" in front of you. Therefore, when Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen saw Xu Mingcheng, they looked like they were taking the lead. When they came to Xu Yourong and planned to comfort her, the two immediately expected the consequences, and at this time, they did have a "sure enough" expression on their faces, watching Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng get on the bar again.

Therefore, Xu Youshan's banquet was very lively at this time, and there was a tacit understanding that Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen were boundary, and Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng on one side were fighting happily; On the other side, Xu Chen and Zhai Yu joined forces. has been teasing Xu Xuan.

But despite this, as long as it's not like Chu Dai and them. is very close to the banquet of Xu Youshan and the others, so you will not hear their very "content" dialogue. After all, these are children who have been precocious since childhood and are all mentally high—except for someone.

Therefore, their voices are actively controlled by themselves, and it is impossible for others to hear them.

But just when Xu Youshan's table banquet was "happy" to the point that it couldn't work, the sound of silk and bamboo suddenly played loudly, which shocked the people in the Ronghua Palace, and when Xu Youshan and they also went to the prestige, they heard a sound of "The Holy Lord has arrived".

It turned out that Emperor Zhou Hui arrived, everyone got up to greet him, and Emperor Zhou Hui also said kindly: "No need to be polite." ”

But who dares to be really not polite, not all of them waited until Emperor Zhou Hui sat down on the first specially set dragon chair, and everyone got up and returned to their seats.

"It's not too early, let's start." And after Emperor Zhou Hui sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, just like the ceremonial official next to him ordered. And the ceremonial officer also hurriedly raised his voice, and under the sound of silk and bamboo, Qi Hong and Shuoyun County Lord, who were dressed in red robes, finally entered the venue together, and under the auspices of the ceremonial officer, in accordance with the royal etiquette, the wedding was completed.

"Licheng."

And with Emperor Zhou Hui's nod, the "rite of the official", Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun finally really got married.

"Well, it's finally over."

And Xu Mingcheng also sighed loudly after watching Qi Hong and Shuoyun County Lord being sent to the cave room in the apse.

"yes, it's finally settled."

Xu Youshan and the others also said with the same emotion: "This road has been really windy and stormy, and everyone has been even busier in the past few months." But in the end, there is a good result, and it is finally worth being busy. ”

"yes."

The one who felt these words the most was Xu Mingxi, she is now the princess of the Beiding Palace, no matter how reasonable it is, she can't stand by and watch the marriage between Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun. And in fact, in the past few months of rushing to prepare for the marriage, Xu Mingcheng followed behind the princess Rui of Beiding, which can really be regarded as busy, and there is no time to be lazy.

"Eh, that's not right, you guys have something to do."

However, just when Xu Mingcheng was thinking back to everything that had happened in the past few months, which could be described as a nightmare, she suddenly found that it seemed that during this time, she was busy in the dark, and Xu Youshan and the three of them were all idle in Dongyang Lane. Even if she had called the three of them to help a few times along the way, they could have been counted on one hand. So why are they embarrassed to say this?

"Mingxi, I don't like to hear what you say." Xu Yourong first said righteously.

"That's right, big sister. When you were in the most troubled time, did you forget who did not hesitate to lend a helping hand without saying a word? Xu Mingwen said indignantly for the second time.

"Sister Huan, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." In the end, Xu Youshan concluded short and capablely.

"Can you guys be a little more cheeky?"

But looking at the righteous words and indignant expressions on the faces of these three people, Xu Mingcheng directly angrily sprayed at Xu Youshan and the others: "Who is it, who is it, how many times have I sent Qin Xin to urge three or four times." They've only been here two or three times, who are they? ”

"Uh, yes. Who is it? ”

"It's just, this guy is so bad."

“……”

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen had a look of "I don't know, it's definitely not me anyway", and the last Xu Youshan couldn't compare to the tough psychology of the previous ones. Therefore, he could only quietly look into the distance. A look of "I'm thinking".

And the big scuffle between Xu Youshan and the four of them also made Xu Chen and them look over, and after listening to a few words of Xu Youshan's conversation, even Zhai Yu, who didn't understand Xu Youshan and Xu Chen very well, couldn't help but smile lightly.

"Sister Ling, it's really funny."

"Hehe......"

"Hehe......" Xu Xuan and Xu Chen could only change the topic with a dry smile when they heard this: "That's right, Brother Zhai." What do you think about the upcoming visit to our court from Dongji? ”

Dongji is a neighboring and friendly country of the Great Zhou. The national strength is strong, even compared with the Great Zhou, it can be regarded as equal. However, due to the fact that Dongji is located in the plain, the terrain is open on all sides, the east is bordered by the barbarians, the south is bordered by the Great Zhou, the west is bordered by Youji, and only the north is facing a mountain range, which can barely be regarded as a natural danger barrier, and the other three sides are strong enemies. And it is precisely this kind of embattled situation that leads to the fact that even though Dongji's national strength is not weak, it has always taken the initiative to reconcile with its neighbors, and has sent missions to communicate and enhance feelings all year round.

But the most effective and sincere way to enhance the relationship is, of course, the marriage between the two countries, and in the Great Zhou royal family, whether it is the Great Zhou princess who married Dongji or the Dongji princess who married her, it has never been broken.

"Views? I don't have any opinion, it has been nearly ten years since the last time I married Da Zhou and Dongji, and the Dongji mission happened to visit at this time, so what else would it be for? Zhai Yu held the green jade cup in his hand, looked at the clear wine in the cup with a faint smile, and said lightly.

"What Brother Zhai said is very true, and my second brother and I also think the same way. Dongji has always had a constant in-law relationship with my Da Zhou, and according to the habits of the past dynasties, it was time to marry again in the past few years. But for some reason, the Dongji mission that year came with jewels worth 10,000 taels, but in the end it only carried the same priceless cloth celadon away, and the marriage between the two countries was silent. Xu Xuan said.

A few years ago, that is, it happened to be the year when the eldest princess of Deming and Lu died, the Dongji mission also visited the Great Zhou, and the envoys of the Dongji mission to the Great Zhou that year were also surprisingly famous and unexpectedly the famous appearance of Dongji, and the jewelry contained by the mission that year was also precious and amazing.

But in this way, the unusual visit of Dongji was revealed inside and out, and in the end, it left quietly and without any waves, which surprised all the people at that time.

"That year, the Dongji delegation visited, in fact, it was supposed to come for courtship, that year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongji happened to be an adult, and our Royal Highness the eldest princess of Deming also happened to hold a ceremony, so the mission headed by the famous minister of Dongji at that time was to ask for His Royal Highness the Prince of Dongji to marry Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Deming. But then, for some reason, the matter was closed. ”

And for the fanfare of Dongji back then, it was not that no one doubted that they were going to ask for marriage to the eldest princess Deming, after all, the time coincided at that time, and only the eldest princess of Deming in the royal Xie clan was the right age for the eldest princess, so it was correct for someone to think in this direction. It was only later that the Dongji Mission went a little too quietly, and the contrast with the sensation caused by their arrival was somewhat obvious, so people did not mention it again.

But now that Zhai Yu talked about this matter again, he said it so firmly and directly, which made Xu Xuan and Xu Chen stunned. There was a response.

"Brother Zhai, how could you be so sure about this?" Xu Chen asked.

"Because that's the only way to do it." Zhai Yu replied chicly.

yes, according to the situation back then. Only in this way can it be explained, but because Zhai Yu said it too directly, Xu Xuan and Xu Chen didn't react for a while. But after a while, Xu Chen and the others said as usual: "What Brother Zhai said is that since Dongji has shown it so obviously, but in the end, he still 'returned empty-handed', it seems that the saint politely rejected Dongji's proposal." ”

"But I really didn't see it. The saint usually almost ignores Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Deming, but in key matters, he actually protects Her Royal Highness the eldest princess like this. Xu Xuan sighed.

"Her Royal Highness the Protector Princess? I don't think so. But Zhai Yu sneered: "Just our saint." Who will he protect in the face of his own interests? I don't think it's possible for anyone to give up their interests. ”

For Emperor Zhou Hui, of course Zhai Yu has no good feelings. Not to mention hatred, it is all broad-minded.

"Ugh. What Brother Zhai said is. ”

It's not good to talk about anything in depth, Xu Sui and Xu Chen glanced at each other, so they had to skip the matter of the eldest princess Deming, and moved the topic back to the mission that Dongji was about to enter Beijing, "In this way, the mission that Dongji is about to enter Beijing this time must also come to ask for relatives." ”

"In recent years, although there have been no major wars in the four frontiers of Dongji, the barbarian activities in the east have gradually become active. Youji's national strength has also been thriving in recent years, and Dongji wants to further marry with our Great Zhou to consolidate the alliance. It's not a hard thing to guess, but since our saint didn't agree to the marriage of Her Royal Highness Princess Deming to Dongji last time, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongji has already married, then in the mission of Dongji to Beijing this time, I am afraid that there will be a princess of Dongji. ”

Regarding the transfer of topics between Xu Xuan and Xu Chen, Zhai Yu also cooperated, but what he said next surprised Xu Chen and the others.

"What does Brother Zhai mean by this, the object of Dongji's courtship this time is the prince of our Great Zhou? Although there are many sons under the knees of the saint, there are only three princes who can talk about marriage this year, which ......"

It turns out that the purpose of the Dongji mission in Beijing this time is indeed to marry the Great Zhou, but this time it is no longer the royal daughter who came to marry the Great Zhou, and the people directly brought the princess to ask for marriage. But although Dongji is a big country, the princess of Dongji is also the proud daughter of the sky, but due to the alliance between the Great Zhou and Dongji, she married the prince of the princess of Dongji in the future, even if she has no chance with the throne.

Xu Chen and the three of them discussed the matter of the Dongji Mission that was about to enter Beijing here, but there was no need to go any further, and if Xu Youshan and the four of them on the side could hear what they had just said, they should also understand and be vigilant. But it's a pity that Xu Youshan and the four of them are already in a mess now, and they didn't listen to what Xu Chen and the three of them just said.

……

……

Qi Hong and the county lord of Shuoyun are now in courtesy, and the next thing in the marriage is just to finish this wedding banquet, but after sending Qi Hong and the county lord of Shuoyun into the apse of the Ronghua Palace, Qi Hong still has to come out to toast, and taking advantage of this time gap, the ladies of the Qi family in the Beiding Mansion have to visit the lord of Shuoyun according to the old habit, so Xu Mingxi must also go.

That Xu Mingcheng went, how could the other three stay obediently, of course, they were also pestered with Mrs. Qi, and they had to go together.

"Grandmother, cousin and grandmother, you just let Sister Rong and them go with me, anyway, we are with my uncle and grandmother, and nothing will go wrong." Xu Mingcheng said.

Originally, if it weren't for the Beiding Princess Rui to lead the team, Xu Youshan and the others would not have dared to leave Mrs. Qi, so after Xu Youshan and the four of them promised that they would never act alone and would definitely follow Rui and other elders to act, Mrs. Qi and the others also allowed Xu Youshan and the three of them to go to the apse of Ronghua Hall with Xu Mingcheng to visit today's bride, the lord of Shuoyun.

The apse of the Ronghua Palace, the front hall and the nave are all generally gorgeous, and the buildings of red lacquer and gold and jade towers can be seen everywhere, not to mention all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that exude fragrance, especially at the boundary between the nave and the apse......

But although along the way, there are beautiful scenery everywhere that are worth stopping and admiring, and Xu Youshan and the four of them are indeed very appreciative of several special scenes. But because they had promised Old Madam Qi that they couldn't leave the Rui family and their group to act alone, and Xu Youshan and the others were still a little worried about the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen, so they couldn't resist the idea of stopping along the way.

Until everyone arrived at the main room of the apse of the Ronghua Palace. After greeting the old ladies in the palace who were guarding the door, Xu Youshan and the four of them stepped into the room with the Rui family.

The wedding of Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun was forcibly arranged by Emperor Zhou Hui to be held in the Ronghua Palace. But tonight's candle night in the cave room is just a formality, and it won't be real. But despite this, the current new house is still decorated with extreme magnificence, and even Xu Youshan and the four of them were dazzled the moment they first came in.

Embroidered gold persimmon pattern hundred butterflies wear the whole Shu brocade drapery. The rosewood tables and chairs with white jade sunset inlaid with three-color gemstones, the porcelain vase with auspicious clouds and ruyi peony patterns, and the century-old good glass and emerald screen with pearls and phoenixes embellished with pearls and gold...... Each piece is compared to the rare things displayed in the hall at the wedding banquet just now. It's not inferior to a treasure.

"Tsk, that's a big deal." Xu Mingcheng said.

The other three all nodded in agreement, and the room in front of them didn't need to say anything more. It's really all dressed up with care. But just when Xu Youshan and the four of them were still immersed in these amazements. Rui's voice came from inside, "What are you doing there, don't come in yet." ”

"Oh, yes."

Xu Youshan and the four of them came back to their senses, and hurriedly walked in obediently, and as soon as they entered, they saw the lord of Shuoyun sitting on the big bed with dark red agate inlaid with black marble and black silver pear blossom red sandalwood, and the lord of Shuoyun who had been picked by Qi Hong with a red hijab.

"Shuoyun greets the elders."

"Lord Shuoyun doesn't have to be polite."

Although in terms of grade. As the princess of Beiding, the Rui family is definitely higher than the lord of Shuoyun, but the lord of Shuoyun is the descendant of the Xie family of the royal family after all. It's not clear for this person's sake. Although the county lord of Shuoyun has married into the Qi family of the Beiding Royal Mansion and married Qi Hong, she is the county lord, and according to the Lirui clan, they can't call her by her name, so they can only continue to call her the county lord.

But since the county lord of Shuoyun has decided to marry Qi Hong, that is, he wants to live a good life with him, as a daughter-in-law, Shuoyun still understands some common sense, so when the Rui family just called her "Shuoyun county lord", she hurriedly said: "Uncle grandmother, don't bother Shuoyun, please call Shuoyun's boudoir name." ”

"Okay, okay, then I won't postpone it, and I'll call your girlfriend name directly in the future." And seeing the sincerity of the county lord of Shuoyun, Rui was not hypocritical, and directly patted the hand of the county lord of Shuoyun and replied.

"Yo, uncle and grandmother, you have a new granddaughter-in-law, so you forget the old granddaughter-in-law." Xu Mingcheng said deliberately.

"Look, look, this little mouth doesn't stop, when did I forget you again, why was I remembered by your little ghost." And Rui Shi looked at the aggrieved look that Xu Mingcheng deliberately pretended, and couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle and grandmother, don't pay attention to her, she's crazy by herself." Xu Yourong also smiled: "But Sister Huan, how did you change your title, one moment it was grandmother, and another time it was uncle's grandmother, and I was stunned by you." ”

"You don't care about me, my grandmother didn't say anything about me, anyway, her old man knows that no matter what I shout, I just have a sincere heart that can be seen in the sky for her old man." Xu Mingcheng said to Xu Yourong.

"Yo yo yo, it's still 'a sincere heart visible in the sky', this thick-skinned." Xu Yourong stuck out his tongue and said.

"Xu Yourong !!"

"What."

It didn't take long for Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng to get on the bar again, but Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen didn't care about lamenting at this time, but quietly slipped to the side of the county lord of Shuoyun, and asked her: "Lord Shuoyun, you are now married to Cousin Hong, that is, a member of the Qi family, and you will be our relatives in the future, so shouldn't there be nothing to talk about between relatives?" ”

The county lord of Shuoyun looked at the two little faces in front of him, his face was full of I have a question I want to ask you, and the county lord of Shuoyun was amused, "Yes, relatives should talk about everything, but since you all say that you are relatives, then you should stop calling me the county lord in the future." ”

"Ah, if you don't call it the county lord, then what should you call it?" Xu Youshan asked without turning a corner for a while.

But this time, the county lord of Shuoyun didn't say anything again, but suddenly turned red. (To be continued......)
