Out of the Zou family's old house, Chen Yuanzhao rode on a horse, but did not let the horse gallop. Holding the reins loosely in his hands, he walked forward slowly.

There is a bright moon hanging in the sky, the moonlight is shiny, although it is a little cold, but it is particularly moving.

His mood is just like the moonlight at this time, bright and bright.

Chen Yuanqing rode a horse and followed Chen Yuanzhao's side, and joked with a smile: "Second brother, are you in a good mood now?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Cousin Zheng used to obstruct you and Cousin Jin's affairs a lot, but now it seems like a different person. It seems that he has completely accepted you, the future sister-in-law. ”

Chen Yuanqing smiled happily, and then sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the eldest uncle has always refused to nod. You want to marry Cousin Jin, and there is still a grind! ”

Chen Yuanzhao said lightly: "You don't have to worry, my mother has already asked for a marriage for me." ”

Chen Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Really? Since the queen decreed the marriage, it was useless for the uncle to oppose it. Second brother, you are really. Why didn't you tell me such good news earlier, so I have been worried about you. ”

Chen Yuanzhao patiently explained: "The queen only verbally agreed to this matter, and she has to wait for the right opportunity to summon Xu Jinyu into the palace and meet her before she can give marriage." Before the matter was decided, I didn't want to leak the news, let alone be noticed by my father and big brother. So I didn't say anything. I will mention this matter to you today, and after you return home, you must keep your mouth shut, and don't tell anyone. Even if the second aunt asks you, don't say it. ”

Once the wind leaks. was known by An Guogong, and he might come up with some way to obstruct it.

Chen Yuanqing responded without thinking.

After a while, Chen Yuanqing sighed with some unpleasant feelings: "Second brother." Obviously, you are the eldest uncle's son-in-law, but the eldest uncle is too partial. It's much better for big brother than for you. Even in my eyes, I am unhappy for you. ”

In the dark night, I couldn't see Chen Yuanzhao's expression clearly, and only heard Chen Yuanzhao's indifferent voice: "I've long been used to it." ”

Chen Yuanqing wanted to say something, but Chen Yuanzhao had already tightened the reins and kicked the horse's belly hard. Gallop away.

Chen Yuanqing hurriedly rode his horse to catch up

Seeing off the two Chen Yuanzhao brothers, Xu Jinyu silently followed Xu Zheng to the study.

Xu Zheng lit the candlestick in the study with his own hands.

The candle flame flickered, and the light quickly spread throughout the room. Xu Zheng's eyebrows were handsome and soft in the candlelight.

"Big brother." Xu Jinyu stared at Xu Zheng: "You didn't want me to meet and talk to Chen Yuanzhao before, why did you suddenly change tonight?" Did something happen when the Cao family was mourning? ”

There must be a reason for the sudden change in Xu Zheng's attitude.

Xu Zheng smiled and sighed: "I can't hide anything from you." Today I am in the mourning hall of the Cao family. Met King Qin and Ji Ze. ”

Xu Jinyu was taken aback. blurted out: "Did they say something threatening or unbearable?" ”

"Not really." Xu Zheng responded: "Ji Ze obviously hates me to the core, but he forbears himself and does not do anything excessive. As for King Qin, he was a little more restrained than before, only greeted me, and left with Ji Ze. ”

Xu Zheng was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little lower: "If it weren't for Chen Yuanzhao secretly looking for King Qin, I'm afraid that this would not be the case today." Younger sister. I was so naïve before. Now that I think about it, in the eyes of the powerful King Qin and Ji Ze. I'm really nothing here. If it weren't for Chen Yuanzhao, he would have poisoned me a long time ago. ”

"I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect you. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a good thing for you to marry Chen Yuanzhao. At the very least, he has the ability to protect you. I'm probably going to have to use his power in the future. To borrow from him, and to show face to him everywhere, I really have inappropriate thoughts. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zheng's voice was a little more sour.

The self-esteem and pride of the teenager had to bow a little to the unforgiving reality.

What's more, Xu Jinyu and Chen Yuanzhao are in love.

He shouldn't have prevented a couple of lovers from meeting in the name of caring. should not rely on Xu Jinyu's respect for his brother, so he wantonly made things difficult for Chen Yuanzhao, so that Xu Jinyu was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma

Xu Zheng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Sister, I've figured it out." In the future, if you want to see him, it doesn't hurt to meet him in private. Or let him come to the Zou family's old house, and I won't make things difficult everywhere anymore. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jinyu should have been happy. But the gloom in Xu Zheng's words made Xu Jinyu's heart slightly sour: "Big brother, don't be presumptuous. His father died early, and the Xu family had no capable relatives and friends to serve as officials in the court. You are just a sixteen-year-old boy, and you have done your best to be able to pass the exam. These days, you have been studying behind closed doors, just hoping that you can win the favor of the emperor in the top three in the Spring Examination, enter the court as an official, and protect me and my mother. You've done enough."

Speaking of this, Xu Jinyu's voice was choked, and it was difficult to continue.

Xu Zheng took on the heavy responsibility of protecting her with his not very broad shoulders. In her previous life, she was willing to suffer the humiliation of King Qin, and she has been trying her best to protect her in this life.

He may not be the best man, but he is the best brother in the world.

Xu Zheng saw Xu Jinyu crying, he felt distressed for a while, and stretched out his hand to wipe away Xu Jinyu's tears: "Okay, let's not talk about this." In short, as long as you have a good time. When you want to leave the house in the future, just bring more guards. ”

Xu Jinyu snorted and whispered, "I just told Chen Yuanzhao that I will go to Huaishu Hutong tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Zheng: ""

Early the next morning, Xu Jinyu got into a carriage and went to Huaishu Hutong.

There were five guards in the front and back of the carriage, and Xu Jinyu was accompanied by early summer and Rue in the carriage.

Rue Xiang is good at using poison, she is good at it, and she is also the identity of a maid, so she does not attract people's attention. With Rue Xiang by her side, Xu Jinyu also felt extra relieved.

Chu Xia curiously pestered Rue Xiang and asked, "Rue Xiang, where are all the poison and ecstasy on your body hidden?" ”

Rue Xiang replied with a smile: "If you are curious, how about I let you understand it?" Don't worry, I still have an antidote on me. ”

The early summer immediately stopped honestly.

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she saw it in her eyes.

It was cold and cold outside the carriage, and a small copper stove burned inside the carriage, which was warm and pleasant. There is also a sweetheart waiting for him

Xu Jinyu's mood at this time has already passed the cold winter and entered the spring of March
