When there were still three days before the banquet, most of the invitations had already been sent out, and Yu Shu pressed two more letters under his hand, one for Jing Chen, and one for Xia Mingming.

Yu Shu and Xia Mingming have not seen each other much, since the last time they clarified the misunderstanding, they have been writing back and forth in the Wangji Building, Yu Shu did not send someone to the Xiajiang Annex to send invitations, but went in person.

reported his name in front of the door, Yu Shu did not eat the closed door, and was invited in after waiting for a short time. Xia Jiang Helang listed her as a refusal to come and go, mainly for the sake of her daughter's honor, for fear that she would run away from home and be involved in a murder case, but now everything is calm, and the damned ones are dead, and there is no reason to turn her away again.

What's more, there was a lot of movement on the day when the arithmetic department was announced, and even Xia Mingming, who was staying at home, knew about it, as the first family of Yi Xuenan, Xia Jiang Helang would not be unclear that the little woman who saved her daughter's life turned into a female operator who had not been out for ten years, and she would not stop Yu Shu from seeing Xia Mingming.

"Girl, sit down and drink tea, and our young lady will come later."

The maid took the tea and stepped back out of the house, Yu Shu stayed in the living room alone, looked around, and saw an old scroll of bamboo and stone hanging between the two window lattices on the east side, so she stepped forward to see, she didn't understand Danqing, but she was literate, and found the ink on the inscription, just identified a "Su" word from it, and heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door, and turned his head to see a figure walking in quickly.

"Ah Shu!"

As soon as Xia Mingming entered the door and saw Yu Shu, he showed a happy expression, opened a pair of bright and bright eyes, walked over and grabbed her hand, and complained: "Why did you come to me." ”

Yu Shu looked at the little girl who hadn't seen her for a long time, and was more delicate and delicate, and said with a smile: "There have been a lot of things recently, isn't this here to send you an invitation, at the end of the month, I want to invite wine and set up a banquet in the Wangji Building, will you come?" ”

Xia Mingming's face shrank brightly, and he hesitated: "I want to go." I'm afraid that my father won't allow it, besides, wouldn't it be stupid for me to go to the banquet alone? ”

Yu Shu said: "Then you can ask your uncle first, and I will leave the invitation." If you come. I'll introduce you to a new friend, and you two girls will be the company, and you will eat and drink in a separate room, and nothing will get in the way. ”

"My father cares about me tightly, and he follows him to visit friends these days, where have I been on the street," Xia Mingming pulled her to the tea house and sat down. Sighed: "If I can't go, don't blame me." ”

Yu Shu nodded, looked outside the door, leaned forward with his upper body, and said in a low voice: "As far as I estimate, as soon as the Shuangyang meeting passes, your marriage with the Nine Emperors will be decided, didn't I teach you the marriage of the Six Emperors." Have you ever given yourself a fortune calculation and a look for it? ”

Xia Mingming's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said shyly: "Forget it." I don't know if I can do it accurately, the hexagram says, my husband and wife are destined to come, showing the auspicious appearance of heaven and man, just between the ten days and the twenty days, the husband and the lord are noble. ”

Yu Shu saw her eyebrows open, obviously no longer resisting this marriage, and his heart was a little at ease. After she got along with Liu Tan some time ago, she found that this Nine Emperor Prince had a restrained temperament and handled things carefully. is quite scheming, if Xia Ming has a bad heart and can't let Liu Tan like it, then the two of them come together, and she must be the one who suffers.

"Don't just talk about me, talk about you." Xia Mingming shook Yu Shu's arm. Winked at her, "Are you and Jingchen okay right now?" ”

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "I'm very good, you care about what Jingchen does, if I'm not mistaken, haven't you always looked at him unpleasantly." ”

Xia Mingming patted her and said angrily: "What is the old yellow calendar, you know what I am asking, don't pretend to be confused with me." ”

Yu Shu looked innocent: "Why am I pretending to be confused with you, don't you want to ask about Jingchen's current situation, didn't I mention it to you in the letters, he is now a Taoist, the emperor's nephew, and his life is very good, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Xia Mingming showed a roll of his eyes, "Who worries about him, I'm asking you and him." ”

"Hehe, he lives in the princess's mansion now, and we don't often go back and forth, what do you ask me and him."

Xia Mingming looked at Yu Shupi's smiling appearance, vaguely guessed what was unpleasant between her and Jing Chen, his eyes turned, and he wisely didn't ask again.

In the past, they fled to Beijing and lived under the same roof, Yu Shu's considerate care of Jing Chen, she was red when she saw it, at that time she had already noticed some signs, I heard that Jing Chen recovered her memory and her life experience was revealed, she was also happy for Yu Shu, how did she think that time had passed, and the two were not only further in love, but estranged.

Yu Shu didn't want to continue the topic, so he pointed to the painting on the wall and said, "Which one's painting is that?" ”

Xia Mingming glanced at the white wall, "Oh, that's the true work of the former dynasty writer Su Zizhan, my father said that this stone bamboo has charm and aura, and it is better to hang it in the living room to welcome guests than to welcome guests with green pine pictures." ”

Yu Shu was a little surprised when she heard the name Su Zizhan, she loved to eat Dongpo meat in her previous life, of course, she knew that this was Su Shi's name, if it was genuine, then this painting would be quite valuable.

Hearing the familiar name of the ancients, Yu Shu couldn't help but think of the origin of the Da'an Dynasty, remembering that when she first arrived, she had heard an old shopkeeper talk about history in a bookstore in Yiyang City, saying that after the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Jin people invaded Middle-earth, and a tyranny made the people miserable. Emperor Anwu came out of the troubled times, rose up, called on the army, led a group of capable people, expelled the Tartars, pacified the mountains and rivers, and was finally supported to establish the founding of the country and call the emperor.

Therefore, there is no Da'an in Yu Shu's memory, and it should replace the later Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Yu Shu didn't know why history was different, but she was glad that she came to this dynasty where Yixue was prevalent, so that she could show her ambitions and not be buried by male superiority and female inferiority.

***

Yu Shu left from the Xiajiang Annex, got into a carriage, and asked Liu Zhong to go to the princess's mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the street at the front gate of the princess's mansion, he stopped the carriage and tied it to the tree, Yu Shu took out the last invitation card in his arms and explained:

"You take the invitation card, go to see Daozi, and when you see someone, you will bring me a word, saying that the day when you invite him will come, and there is no need to say that I am coming."

After speaking, he lowered the car curtain, and the next moment he opened it to stop him, and added: "If you don't see anyone, you will also leave the invitation." ”

Liu Zhongren was tall, but he was not a stupid person, nodded, and walked towards the gate of the princess's mansion.

After about a cup of tea, the people came back, and Yu Shu saw the curtain of the car lifted, raised his eyelids and asked, "Have you seen anyone?" ”

"Back to the girl, Daozi is not in the house, the little one handed over the invitation to the steward, and also relayed the girl's words."

Yu Shu rubbed his brows, waved his hand weakly and said, "Turn around and go home." ”

What Yu Shu didn't know was that not long after she left in the car, the steward of the princess's mansion handed over the invitation to Jing Chen, who was adjusting medicine in the Suhuan Pavilion.

Jingchen read the invitation, folded it and put it in his sleeve, continued to prepare a few packets of medicinal materials on the table, handed them to the servants to decoction, and then turned around and went upstairs.

It was almost noon, Shui Yun lay softly on the chaise longue under the window to bask in the sun, heard the sound of approaching footsteps, closed his eyes and said:

"Did Miss Yu come before?"

Jingchen walked to the couch and stood still, his cold eyes looked at the small lake with the building from the window, and he was silent.

Suddenly, Shui Yun sighed lightly, turned her head to look up at his handsome and bright face illuminated by the sun, for seven days, Jingchen didn't say a word to her, she was worried in her heart, but she couldn't let him sway from side to side.

"Senior brother, how many days have you thought about it, but have you made a decision? Do you want to cut off this undestined love thread, or continue to ignore the lives of your master and uncle. ”

Her voice was soft, but there was an uncompromising warning in her words.

Jingchen didn't look at her, staring at the mouthful of scaly water, his eyes fluctuated, his lips moved, and finally spoke:

"A year ago, I met Xiaoyu outside Yiyang City, she was the first friend I met after I came down the mountain, and she was also the one who caused the most trouble to me. I left Yiyang on the road, before leaving to tell the truth about my life, she also retained, and then I was chased and killed, lost my memory, unable to speak, was rescued by her on the river, she knew that I was a disaster, but did not give up. She took care of me all the way, took me, a dumb and wasted person, into Beijing, and helped me recover my martial arts and recover my memories after several dangers, so that I lived a life of peace and quiet. I still can't understand the meaning of this affection, even if it is the master's thaumaturgy, in my eyes, it is not enough to make up for my failure to her. ”

Shui Yun clearly saw the guilt in Jing Chen's eyes, since she was a child, she heard him confide in her heart for the first time, but she was reluctant to linger on a time she didn't know, and once again reminded her that Jing Chen's Dao heart had moved, which made her heart sour, and the corners of her mouth brewed a wry smile:

"If you don't live up to her, you will harm our Heavenly Master Dao Taiyi Sect, senior brother, whether it is a heavy love or a heavy life, can't you tell the difference?"

Jing Chen's eyes suddenly turned and fell on her half-pleading face, with a cold expression:

"Since you know that your life is heavy, why do you want to plot to harm her life, the master and uncle are fate, isn't she her fate alone-Immortal Dao Guisheng, you have been cultivating for ten years but you don't even have this understanding, even if you are lucky to escape death, add blessings, and it is difficult to correct the results. If I don't value love, I don't have to be in a dilemma because of your fault, I don't have to see her, if I don't value love, I don't have to be in a dilemma because of your threat, you want me to cut off the love thread, do I want to cut off the love of the same brother and sister first. ”

Shui Yun's face was bloody, and it turned white in a moment, she couldn't believe that such a heartless word came from Jing Chen's mouth, she was aggrieved in her heart, but when she met Jing Chen's cold and strange gaze, she couldn't say anything, she could only call "Senior Brother" softly.

Seeing her sad expression but not realizing that something was wrong, Jingchen closed her eyes and turned her gaze, out of sight and quiet, her breathing calmed the familiar and unfamiliar irritability in her chest, Yu Shu's thin and straight figure shook in her mind, she held her hand behind her back, and said slowly:

"No matter what, I'm going to see her and make it clear to her face to face."
