The boat floated slowly on the Bianhe River, and a pair of men and women in the cabin snuggled intimately together, sometimes enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the cabin, sometimes whispering, and it was inevitable that the lips and tongues would be exchanged when it came to the emotional place. The lingering sweetness of it is not enough for outsiders.

The cooking skills of the women on the ship are indeed good, although they are not as good as Rue, and the home-cooked dishes are quite delicious.

Of course, even if it is a tasteless coarse tea and light rice, it will be extra delicious when eaten in your mouth at this time.

It took about three minutes before the bow of the boat was turned around, and the small pier where it had been rowing was rowed.

Chen Yuanzhao whispered in Xu Jinyu's ear and asked, "Are you happy today?" ”

If there is someone who is familiar with Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, he will definitely be shocked and his jaw drops. Is this still the cold and indifferent Chen Yuanzhao?

Xu Jinyu chuckled and snorted.

The sweet time of this day, as if it was stolen, passed quickly. After this day, I don't know when and where I want to be alone again.

Although Xu Zheng no longer hindered her, she went out to meet Chen Yuanzhao. However, the two have not yet decided to get married, and it is always inappropriate to meet too often. Moreover, Chen Yuanzhao is very busy on weekdays, so he may not have time to visit her.

Chen Yuanzhao obviously knew very well that it was not easy for the two to see each other, so he was particularly reluctant to remember.

The ship came ashore.

Chen Yuanzhao doubled the payment for the boat, and the boatman and the woman were overjoyed and thanked them again and again. The woman had already seen that the two were close, and said with a smile before parting: "I wish this son and the young lady a good couple as soon as possible." ”

This pair of men and women have outstanding looks and temperament, and they are by no means ordinary. Apparently well-born. If you are traveling with a couple, you will at least bring some maids to wait. Only two people came, apparently because they had not yet married and wanted to avoid people's eyes.

This sentence. Chen Yuanzhao, who listened to it, was very happy and gave a silver reward. In the woman's thousand thanks, she hugged Xu Jinyu and left

After the early summer, it began to be difficult to sit still, standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking around.

The young lady and the general have been out for so long, why haven't they come back yet?

As for Ruexiang, it is a rare opportunity to meet Zhou Cong. Under the pretext of reporting affairs, I kept talking to Zhou Cong.

After the big and small things were reported one by one, there was really nothing to say, and he said with a shy face: "Commander Zhou." I follow Miss Xu on weekdays, and I don't have much opportunity to practice martial arts. There are many regressions in his skills compared to before, and today he is free, I don't know if Commander Zhou is willing to give a few moves. ”

If it were Zhou Yong, he heard these words. Definitely have to scoff at it.

The specialty of rue is to dispense drugs to make poison and detoxify. When did you care so much about your skills?

Obviously just looking for a chance to get close to your sweetheart!

Zhou Cong's gaze swept over Ruxiang's slightly nervous and reddened face, and nodded slightly. Then he led Rue Xiang to the open space in the courtyard, and pointed out the tricks

Hearing the movement in early summer, he subconsciously looked back.

If you practice martial arts, you will inevitably have physical contact. Zhou Cong's expression was solemn and very serious, but Ruxiang was not a drunkard. A slightly ordinary face was slightly reddened, and there was a hint of joy in the shyness of his eyes, but it was much more moving than usual.

Early summer. I got a glimpse of Ruxiang's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile. I thought to myself. Ruexiang's vision is really good. This Zhou commander has a good face, a handsome face, a calm nature, and good skills, which is indeed a good match. I just don't know if the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless.

When I think of Zhou Cong, I can't help but think of his cousin Zhou Yong.

Since she moved out of the Hou Mansion, she has never seen Zhou Yong again. Occasionally, when I think about it, I feel a little stunned

This melancholy daze, another half an hour passed.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door.

In the early summer, his heart moved, and he hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

Seeing the four-hoofed horse parked outside the door, Chen Yuanzhao dismounted with high spirits, and then stretched out his arm and hugged the girl sitting on the horse. Gentle and careful movements.

"Miss, you're finally back." Hatsu breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her with a happy face.

The waiting time is always extremely difficult. In the past half day, the neck of early summer is almost extended.

Xu Jinyu's pretty face was flushed, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but her expression was happy and relaxed, and the corners of her lips were curved: "Early summer, are you in a hurry?" ”

Chu Xia nodded first, and then shook her head again and again: "No, it's rare that Miss doesn't need a slave to serve today, and the slave and maid stay here very leisurely!" ”

As soon as you hear it, you know that you can't say it.

Xu Jinyu smiled dumbly, and said comfortingly: "Today is an exception, and I will never leave you in the future." ”

Chuxia has been by her side since she was a child, and the two are inseparable day and night. Today, with Chen Yuanzhao going out, she left early summer alone, not to mention the loss of early summer, even her heart was a little uncomfortable.

was coaxed by Xu Jinyu in early summer, and the trace of grievance in his heart suddenly disappeared. smiled happily: "Miss don't worry about the slave, it's good for the slave to stay alone." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Rue Xiang coming over, and said with a smile: "Rue Xiang has Zhou Commander to guide me to practice martial arts, I wish Miss and the general would come back later!" ”

Rue Xiang suddenly blushed, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Xu Jinyu: "What's the matter." Don't talk nonsense in early summer. ”

Xu Jinyu understood and smiled knowingly.

It turns out that Rue Xiang is in love with Zhou Cong

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Cong, his eyes revealing inquiry.

Zhou Cong's expression was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking

It was not early, Xu Jinyu was inconvenient to stay any longer, turned to Chen Yuanzhao and said, "I'm going to go first." ”

Chen Yuanzhao snorted.

Xu Jinyu led the early summer Ruxiang into the carriage, and before leaving, she lifted the curtain and waved goodbye to Chen Yuanzhao.

Chen Yuanzhao watched Xu Jinyu get into the carriage. He waited until the carriage drove out of the alley and disappeared before he withdrew his gaze.

Zhou Cong has been by Chen Yuanzhao's side for many years, and he has never seen him like this, so he couldn't help grinning and said: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, this is really true!" ”

Chen Yuanzhao ignored his jokes and asked bluntly, "What do you think of Ruexiang?" ”

Zhou Cong: ""

Speaking of which. Rue is not small! Chen Yuanzhao said thoughtfully: "After the New Year, it will be twenty." She's been secretly crushing you for a few years now. I have been sent out to do eyeliner all year round, and it is not easy to see you. It's rare to see it, and I can't even take care of a woman's reserve. Take the initiative to ask you for guidance on martial arts. How can you bear to live up to such affection?"

Zhou Cong coughed, and said lightly: "The general has not yet become a family, so I can't get ahead of the general." ”

Neither admits to having interest in Rue nor denies it.

Chen Yuanzhao glanced at Zhou Cong and didn't say anything more.

When Xu Jinyu returned to Zou's house, it was getting late.

Zou couldn't help but babble a few words: "You are a girl's family." It's okay to go out once in a while, but you shouldn't spend too much time outside. Look, it's getting dark. You're just back. What if you encounter any bad guys or accidents along the way? ”

Xu Jinyu obediently stood aside and was trained.

Xu Zheng knew why Xu Jinyu came back so late, it must be because of Chen Yuanzhao's past, and he would be angry because of this. Now it's figured out. Naturally, there will be no silence.

Xu Zheng interrupted the Zou family: "Mother." It's hard for my sister to get out of the house once, and it's nothing if she comes back late. Anyway, people have come back safely, so don't talk about it anymore. Let people set the meal! ”

Zou listened to Xu Zheng's words the most, and immediately stopped his mouth and told the maids to go to the dining room.

After dinner, Xu Jinyu said to Zou and Xu Zheng: "Mother, eldest brother, I have something important to discuss with you. ”

Xu Zheng's heart moved. Tentatively asked, "Is it your relationship with Chen Yuanzhao?" ”

Xu Jinyu's face flushed slightly, but she didn't deny it: "Yes." Today he said it to me. On the first day of the new year, someone will be arranged to take me into the palace to meet the queen, and the queen will give us a marriage. ”

Zou was surprised at first, and then looked happy: "Really? That's good news. The two of you haven't decided to marry for a day, and I'm always unsteady in my heart. When the family affair is officially decided, there will be fewer scruples when you go to private again. By the way, who will you go into the palace with when the time comes? ”

Xu Jinyu replied with some embarrassment: "Duchess Anguo." ”

Zou: ""

It seems a little awkward to enter the palace with the future mother-in-law before the marriage is decided.

Xu Zheng also frowned. However, he did not object, but smiled to reassure Xu Jinyu: "Since Chen Yuanzhao said so, he must have arranged everything." You don't have to worry too much, just wait for the first day of the new year to enter the palace. ”

Zou also came back to his senses, nodded and said, "What Zheng'er said makes sense. If your aunt can enter the palace, it is of course best for you to follow her into the palace. It's a pity that she went to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and she can't go home this New Year. If you want to enter the palace, you can only go with the Duchess of Anguo. ”

After a pause, he smiled and said, "There are still some days before the New Year, so I can make you a few new clothes." I'll send someone tomorrow to ask the shopkeeper of the Embroidery Pavilion to come over. ”

Zou and Xu Zheng agreed together, which made the last trace of nervousness in Xu Jinyu's heart quietly dissipate, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's almost the New Year, it's not just me who wants to make new clothes." My mother and eldest brother should also make a few new clothes! ”

Zou responded with a smile

Five days later, the king of Chu got married.

Xu Jinyu stayed in the boudoir to do embroidery work and did not pay too much attention to this matter.

In the early summer, he was lively and loved to join in the fun, and after begging Xu Jinyu and getting an answer, he and some maids and wives of the Zou family crowded into the street to watch the excitement. It took him half a day to come back, and he said excitedly about the pomp and circumstance of the Ye family's marriage: "Miss, it's a pity that you haven't been able to see it with your own eyes." Today's street is really lively, and many people are crowded to see the King of Chu marrying Miss Ye! I don't know how much Miss Ye's dowry is, and it's not over for a long time."

Xu Jinyu hummed casually.

The Ye family was originally a century-old family, and it was Queen Ye's maiden family, and the family has grown in recent years. The daughter of the Ye family married the royal family as a daughter-in-law, and the dowry naturally could not be shabby.

Chu Xia said with great interest: "The slave maid was fortunate to glance at the welcoming team from a distance, but unfortunately she couldn't see the face of His Royal Highness clearly. By the way, I also met General Chen. He rode the horse to chase the moon and followed behind the king of Chu. Much more handsome, tall and majestic than the King of Chu. ”

Speaking of Chen Yuanzhao, a smile appeared in Xu Jinyu's eyes: "Didn't you say that you were far away, and you couldn't see Wang's face clearly?" How can you see Chen Yuanzhao's appearance clearly? ”

Chu Xia responded as a matter of course: "Do you still need to watch this?" Thinking about it, you also know that General Chen must be the most handsome and outstanding man who greets him! ”

Ruexiang, who had been silent, immediately took over the conversation: "What early summer said makes sense. ”

Xu Jinyu couldn't help laughing, and said deliberately: "I think there is someone who is more handsome and outstanding than Chen Yuanzhao's!" ”

Rue Xiang asked reflexively, "I don't know who Miss is talking about?" ”

Xu Jinyu responded leisurely: "It's Zhou Cong, the captain of the guard beside Chen Yuanzhao." ”

Rue: ""

Ruexiang, who has always been calm, supportive and steady, suddenly blushed, and couldn't speak for a long time. Xu Jinyu and Chu Xia smiled back and forth.

After a while, Xu Jinyu stopped laughing and said seriously: "Ruxiang, it's not your fault that you like someone." It is even more brave to have the courage to show your heart and fight for your marriage. You don't have to be ashamed. In the future, if I can help, I will definitely try my best to help you fulfill your wishes. ”

Rue Xiang couldn't care about being shy, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her.

Xu Jinyu is the future general's wife. If she is in charge, her wish may really come true one day.

After Xu Jinyu instructed Ruxiang to get up, she smiled and joked about Chu Xia: "Early Summer, if you have a man you like, you might as well tell me clearly." I'll do that for you in the future. ”

Chu Xia was also scared: "How can the slave and maid have any favorite man, everything is up to the young lady." ”

As he said that, a young man's face quickly flashed in his mind.

Xu Jinyu also knew a little about Chu Xia's thoughts, and when she saw Chu Xia's pretty face slightly red and her eyes fluttering, she thought a little sadly. The female university is not staying. Even early summer has a sweetheart

The days slipped by like a stream, and soon it was the end of the year.

The Xu family has a simple population, and there are no relatives and friends in the capital, so they only sent New Year's gifts to the Weining Marquis Mansion and the Cao family. These two naturally have a return gift. To the surprise of the Zou family, the Anguo Mansion also sent someone to send a New Year's gift.

Before you decide on a marriage, you will walk around as an in-law. It is enough to show the satisfaction and sincerity of the Duchess of An Guo for this family business.

Zou was happy in his heart, and hurriedly sent a return gift, and said to Xu Jinyu in private: "Jinniang, on the first day of the New Year, you entered the palace with Duchess Anguo, be cautious and cautious in everything, and would rather say less and do less, so as not to dislike Duchess Anguo." ”

In front of the future mother-in-law, you have to make a good impression.

Xu Jinyu responded with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

My daughter has always been smart and sensible, so she shouldn't make any mistakes.

Zou thought so in his heart, and he still couldn't help but admonish. (To be continued......)
