In December, there was a goose feather snow in Chang'an City, but a day or two of effort, the city was full of snow, the sky was already dark when I first arrived in You, the north wind mixed with snowflakes was blowing, and the chill was almost penetrating the bottom of people's hearts. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are hiding in their homes to keep warm.

Sang Xiaohong was led by his attendants to ascend the gate of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate again, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao Yuanzhao's invitation this time? The mansion of the Lin family in the capital is still left by Lin Xi's grandfather, due to the lack of a hostess to take care of it all the year round, the garden is only planted with evergreen trees, and there are no flowers to embellish it, which is completely inconsistent with the aesthetics of the current Qin people.

Sang Xiaohong looked at the empty garden and sighed in his heart, Yuan Zhao took over the position of the protector of Anxi in the fourteenth year, and he never returned to Beijing for five years, others said that he was lucky to be favored by two emperors, but he never thought about how many ups and downs he experienced in Anxi at his young age, and the current glory was he walked out step by step with his military exploits.

"Sang Lang-kun, please." Xingwen respectfully bowed to Sang Xiaohong, looking at Sang Xiaohong's eyes faintly a little weird, he was ordered by Lang Jun to investigate Sang Xiaohong's life experience these days, and he urinated in the wine bottle at home at the age of three, and his father didn't know that he drank most of the evil boy's urine in one gulp, and he didn't know why Lang Jun acted like this. After Xingwen led Sang Xiaohong inside, he retreated and personally guarded outside the study.

The charcoal fire in the study was burning, Lin Xi wore a single coat, and a scribe's scarf was crowned on his head, today he seemed to be an elegant and handsome scribe rather than a military general, and when he saw Sang Xiaohong come in, he handed a letter of dispatch to Sang Xiaohong.

Sang Xiaohong took it and saw that it was really for him to serve as the magistrate of Jiaohe County, Anxi, Sang Xiaohong didn't expect Lin Xi to help him do this so quickly, "There is Lao Yuanzhao to bother." Sang Xiaohong didn't say thank you, there is no need to thank him for this kind of thing, and Yuan Zhao doesn't need him to thank him, he only needs to do a good job in Jiaohe County. Sang Xiaohong is very self-aware, even if he has a friendship with a saint, he can be a five- or six-grade official in this life, and there are many companions of saints, and there are countless noble and talented people, he is definitely not the best.

Lin Xi has checked Sang Xiaohong's background in the past few days, and has also heard a little about the relationship between Sang's father and Sang's mother, I have to say that he is indeed a relatively good marriage partner, Lin Xi is not an ordinary woman, and she can't be a woman's shyness, "Shuwen is close to a weak crown, why has he not been married?" He cut straight to the point.

Sang Xiaohong was stunned, he didn't think that Lin Xi would ask this question, and only said after a while: "I just don't think it's appropriate." His face flushed slightly, why would the eldest brother tell him about this problem, is the eldest brother concerned about himself? Sang Xiaohong's excited hands trembled a little.

"Because of family background?" Lin Xi asked, the Sang family is a merchant, and a large family has worked hard to support Sang San, so it is easy for him to achieve something, and he has great hopes for him, and he doesn't want him to marry a woman from an idle background?

"Not really." In the end, he is still a young man, and his face turned a little red when Lin Xi asked him this, but Lin Xi is a person he respects, and he will answer his questions seriously, "I just hope to find a wife of Qin Se and Ming." "His parents have been noisy and quarrelsome all their lives, and they have a good relationship, and he has also met several elders of the Jiang family with Lin Xi's light, and he didn't expect that the few people in the Jiang family who are almost standing in the clouds have no concubines, husband and wife love, and today's saints and queens...... Sang Sanyi also hoped that such a woman would appear in his heart.

Qin Se and Ming-Lin Xi was faintly stunned when he heard Sang San's words, and his eyes softened, "What kind of woman does Shu Wen want?" ”

What kind of woman does he like? Sang Xiaohong was at a loss, he really hadn't thought about it, "Yuan Zhao wants to be a matchmaker for me?" He half-jokingly, but Lin Xi's next words almost made him almost sit still.

"Yes."

Lin Xi's overly refreshing answer made Sang Xiaohong completely dumbfounded, "Boss-" He subconsciously said his previous name, what's wrong with the eldest brother today?

Lin Xi saw his stunned expression, with a smile in his eyes, "What's so strange about a man getting married and a woman getting married?" ”

"Boss, what kind of woman are you going to introduce to me?" Sang looked at Lin Xi with three eyes, the woman introduced by the eldest brother must be good, or he will marry? Otherwise, the eldest brother will be sad, right? Sang San was a little entangled, should he agree or not?

Lin Xi saw him wandering out of the world and knew that he wanted to be crooked, and reminded him: "You haven't said what kind of woman can be in harmony with you." This is the point, Lin Xi thinks that he basically can't do what his daughter-in-law should do nowadays.

"Even if I have any troubles, I can tell her, and the two of us can discuss them together, even if she can't solve it." Sang Xiaohong said.

This is not easy, Lin Xi thinks that there are not many things in the world that can stump him.

"If I go out, I don't have to worry about her being alone at home." Sang Xiaohong went on to say that his mother was shrewd and sophisticated, even if her temperament was criticized, she also supported a family, and his parents hoped that he could find a woman as capable as his mother, "just like my mother." ”

Lin Xi tapped lightly on the case, Sang Mu he hadn't seen but understood his words and deeds, she was a cool woman, as for going out to worry or something - Lin Xi glanced at him, or should he be worried about him?

"Of course, I only ask for one person in my life, and I will treat her as she treats me." Sang Xiaohong hurriedly added that he was still very disciplined, he knew that the eldest brother had been married for a year, and there were no concubines around him, so he wanted to be the same as the eldest brother.

"You don't care that the status of a lady is higher than you?"

"I don't care." Sang San is not so inferior to this point.

"What if he is better than you?" Lin Xi asked.

"If my future lady is more capable than me, she can still look at me, which means that I also have merit, so what if she is more capable than me? I should be proud. Sang Sanzhen said with a heartbeat.

Lin Xiwan'er, this really seems to be said by Ah Zhi.

"Big brother, whose lady are you going to introduce to me?" Sang Xiaohong was still hesitating between not making his eldest brother sad and selling his body, looking at Lin Xi's faint smile, his heart was pounding, or he would have obeyed his eldest brother.

"Me." Lin Xi said a word.

Sang Xiaohong was stunned, "Big brother, what did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

"I said I'm not a man, would you marry me?" Lin Xi repeated it calmly, watching Sang Xiaohong's gaze go from shock to dazed to frightened!

Sang Xiaohong stood up with unfocused eyes, and said in a chaotic manner: "I must have fallen asleep and didn't wake up." ”

Lin Xi pointed to the intimate reminder outside the door, "You can go outside to freshen up." He specially ordered Xingwen to prepare a basin of cold water for him to use to wake up, and he guessed this situation.

Sang Xiaohong walked vaguely and stumbled to the outside, there was really a basin of cold water outside, he plunged into the cold water, the cold chill made him shudder, and the soul that was shocked out of his body gradually returned to his place, his body stiffened suddenly, wiped his face and hurriedly rushed back to the room, and stumbled to ask Lin Xi, who was reviewing the official documents: "Big brother, are you really a girl?" You're really not fooling me? ”

"Why should I fool you with this?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Sang Xiaohong.

"But—but—" You are a great deception! Sang Xiaohong felt that his legs were weak, "Big brother, run away, don't be discovered by the saint!" "How should he help the eldest brother hide this matter!

"Both the saint and the queen know about this, and my lady is still a saint herself." Lin Xi didn't expect Sang Xiaohong to sober up, his first reaction was to plan for himself, and his gaze softened a lot, if he was really willing to marry him, such a husband was also a good choice.

Lin Xi's words made Sang Xiaohong completely relieved, and he sat on the ground, as long as the saint and the queen knew the way.

"But this matter is only known to the saint and the queen, and I hope Shuwen will keep it secret for me." Lin Xi didn't say that the elders of the Jiang family also knew, so there was no need to explain it so clearly to Sang Xiaohong.

Sang Xiaohong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"My suggestion, Shuwen, can go back and think about it carefully." Lin Xi said, he paused and said to Sang Xiaohong in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Of course, because of my identity, the grand wedding will definitely be gone, but if we get married, I will take care of my aunt and siblings and get along with my sister-in-law." They can't live in the Metropolitan Protectorate, but I will set up a house in Man Cheong Fong for my aunt to live in, so as to make up for my lack of being able to serve my uncle in person. "Wenchangfang is a high-end residential area in Chang'an, second only to Zhuque Fang, and all of them are high-ranking officials of Daqin, for Sang Xiaohong, it is impossible for him to struggle for a place to live in Wenchangfang in his life.

Sang Xiaohong swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice: "Big brother just told me so, aren't you afraid that I will tell others?" ”

Lin Xi smiled and said nothing, if he could tell Sang Xiaohong his true identity, he would not be afraid that Sang Xiaohong would publicize this matter.

Sang San also knew that he had said something stupid, yes, who would believe that Lin Duhu is a woman!

Lin Xi saw that his face was full of shock, "If Shuwen doesn't want to, just say it." "It's not easy to have a husband in his current capacity? Naturally, he disdained to persecute Sang Xiaohong, "You don't have to make a decision now, I won't go back to Anxi for the time being." ”

Sang San's whole person was still in shock, the eldest brother he admired since childhood was a woman; The hero who has been excellent since childhood, captured the great Han of the Turkic Khanate, and personally went deep into the steppe to pursue the Datou Khan is a woman; Such a woman shall marry herself...... Sang Xiaohong felt his heart beating hard.

Lin Xi looked at him in a daze, and didn't continue, just let him calm down alone.

"Big-" Sang Xiaohong still wanted to call the eldest brother but felt inappropriate, "Yuan Zhao wants me to be rich?" ”

"As a Great Qin official, it is not good for you to be rich, but if we have an heir, I hope he can have my surname." Lin Xi estimated that he would not have too many children, and it was already the limit to be able to have one, and he also felt a little sorry for Sang San when he said that, and promised: "You can adopt an heir from the clan, and I will also take care of it as a parent." ”

Sang Xiaohong listened to his words and muttered, "Then why did you choose me?" "With Yuan Zhao's current power and status, it is easy to find someone similar to him, even if it is a family member, someone will be willing.

"If my future lady is more capable than me, she can still take a fancy to me, which means that I also have merit." Lin Xi repeated what Sang Xiaohong had just said.

"Then your lady-" Sang Xiaohong remembered that Lin Xi had already married a wife.

"She's going to die in childbirth." This is Lin Xi's way out for the woman to think of, and then set up a female household for her and a large amount of settling-in expenses, whether she goes back to Chang'an or in Anxi, it is enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

"I-I-" Sang stammered again.

"You don't have to make a decision right away, go back and think about it first." Lin Xi said to Sang Xiaohong.

Sang Xiaohong didn't know how Lu Dao said goodbye to Lin Xi, and he didn't know how Lu Dao walked out of the study.

After Bai Shao waited for Sang Xiaohong to leave, she entered the study to change the water for Lin Xi, she was engaged to Xingwen, and the two would get married after Guoxiao, she saw that Lang Jun didn't even have a person to serve around her, so she took the initiative to ask the queen to ask to serve Lang Jun, the queen kept telling her before she left the palace, asking her to persuade Lang Jun to find a husband, Bai Shao also felt that she Lang Jun had suffered so much crying since he was a child, and it would be too pitiful if there was no intimate person around him in the future, and even no children.

"Lang Jun, do you want to marry Sang Lang Jun?" Seeing Lin Xi's gentle expression, Bai Shao asked boldly.

"He hasn't said yes yet." Lin Xi said.

"Lang Jun is so good, Sang Lang Jun will definitely agree." Bai Shao thinks that Langjun is the best! "Jiuniang has always said that she has a child, Lang Jun also has a child, and the two children can play together."

Lin Xi thought that when he and Ah Zhi were young, his smile deepened, if he and Sang Sanzhen had a child, they would still have to be sent to the capital to raise him, and Ah Zhi would definitely take care of him.

Seeing Lang Jun smiling so happily, Bai Shao secretly decided in her heart that even if Sang Langjun refused, she would find a gentle, considerate and obedient husband for Lang Jun.

"Sang Langjun, I'll send you back." Xingwen said to Sang Xiaohong, he had just listened to a few words outside the study, which led to understanding Lang Jun's plan, and looking at Sang Xiaohong's gaze was the same as looking at the future lady. Sang San has been following Lang Jun since he was a child, although he is not as good as Xiao Jiuniang, he is also a childhood sweetheart, his family background is innocent and clean, such a lady is indeed good.

Sang Xiaohong wanted to go back by himself, but he was so confused by this fact that he almost couldn't even get on the horse, but Xingwen helped him before he turned over and got on the horse.

Sang Xiaohong didn't have a hat to block the snow, and the fine snow hit his face so that his chaotic mind gradually came back to his senses, and the sage knew that Yuan Zhao was a woman, but the sage Ren Yuan Zhao was in charge of the military power in Anxi, and the sage even chose a lady for Yuan Zhao...... Sang Xiaohong's blank eyes turned solemn, he was no longer a yellow-haired child who had just entered the officialdom, he didn't know much about officialdom, and he could feel that Yuan Zhao's situation was not good.

Since Yuan Zhao conquered the Turks, the sage rewarded him lavishly, and the degree of love was far greater than that of Anbei Jiang Duhu, no matter how great Yuan Zhao's merits were, he was just a young man with a strong and weak crown, just Jiang Duhu's qualifications and military exploits were on par with him, this person was still the queen's cousin, and there were two Langjun in the Jiang family who died on the battlefield of Anbei, how could it be impossible for the saint to make Yuan Zhao specialize in beauty - "Lonely minister!" ”

Sang Xiaohong suddenly remembered everyone's evaluation of Lin Xi, yes! Yuan Zhao is a daughter, and the sage asked him to marry a wife because he had no intention of restoring his status as a woman, so it is impossible for Yuan Zhao to really become his own son, even if he has the monstrous military power? He is a sharp long knife in the hands of the saint, once her true identity is exposed and she has no heirs in the future, the saint will be able to take back the military power at will, so what will happen to Yuan Zhao, who offended the courtiers and lost the military power and is a woman?

At this time, a biting north wind blew, and Sang Xiaohong fought a cold war, and there was an urge to turn back and tide back with Yuan Zhao. No way! Sang Xiaohong took a deep breath of cold air and forced himself to calm down, he had to sort out his suspicions, since Yuan Zhao wanted to marry him, it was the saint's consent, but since the saint had asked Yuan Zhao to marry a wife before, why did he allow him to marry now? This is inconsistent, Sang Xiaohong would not think that the saint would be kind and think that Yuan Zhao was pitiful, there must be other reasons for this.

Sang Xiaohong frowned and carefully sorted out Lin Xi's current connections, yes! Jiuniang! Sang Xiaohong thought of a key person, it must be Jiu Niang! Sang Xiaohong has been watching the two interact behind Lin Xi since he was a child, the depth of their feelings once made Sang Xiaohong think that they would definitely get married, Jiuniang later married the saint and he secretly regretted it, now I think that Jiuniang does not marry Yuan Zhaoding because he is a woman, Jiuniang is the daughter of the Jiang family, the saint's actions in the court can't hide her, she will definitely not sit back and watch Yuan Zhao fall into such a miserable situation, so she will let Yuan Zhao marry first, once Yuan Zhao really becomes his own son, the saint may not be willing to hand over such a monstrous power to Yuan Zhao.

"Huh-" Sang Xiaohong led the horse back, clamped his legs, and rode his horse to the Duhu Mansion.

Xingwen and several guards hurriedly followed.

Sang Xiaohong waited for Ma Kankan to stop at the door, then turned over and dismounted and galloped towards Lin Xi's study, the guards wanted to stop but saw Xingwen waving at them, so they retreated.

"Yuan Zhao!" Sang Xiaohong did not lose his etiquette even if he was anxious, and stood outside the study and shouted.

"Why did Shuwen turn back?" Lin Xi opened the door of the study.

"Yuan Zhao, I want to ask you a few questions." Sang Xiaohong said.

Lin Xi leaned sideways and motioned for him to enter.

Xingwen and Bai Shao looked at each other excitedly, is Sang Langjun willing to do this? That's great! Bai Shao thought about them and made up her mind, so she entered the palace and told Jiu Niang that she would be happy, but Jiu Niang was heartbroken for Lang Jun's marriage.

Sang Xiaohong and Lin Xi's conversation was completely retreating from everyone, even Xingwen and Bai Shao were not allowed to approach, the two talked for almost half an hour, and then walked out of the study together, Lin Xi personally sent Sang Xiaohong out of the house, and when he turned around and was about to go back to the study, he saw Bai Shao and Xingwen looking at him expectantly.

Lin Xi smiled: "After Guoxiao, we will get married, and then I will take him to meet his mother." ”

"Great." Bai Shao was so happy that she was about to cry, "Lang Jun, can I tell Jiu Niang about this?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Go ahead." What Ah Zhi was thinking about was that he could find a husband, Lin Xi raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace, it was enough to have Ah Zhi such a confidant in this life! Zhao Heng wants to be a lonely minister Lin Xi can't see it, but he doesn't care, he has nothing to worry about, as a military general, it is enough to get a "dead border field, shrouded in horse leather", as long as he can live according to his heart when he is alive, what to do with him after death? Zhao Heng originally belonged to him as a general, and he could help Ah Zhi more if he mastered heavy troops. But now that I think about it, if the two really have a boy and a girl, it would be good to be a son and daughter, and the regrets of the two can also be made up for in the children.

In Jianzhang Palace, Zhao Heng was walking with Jiang Wei, it was too cold these days, Jiang Wei didn't dare to go out, even if he took a walk after dinner, he was indoors. After being diagnosed as pregnant, the child in Jiang Wei's belly was settled, and she had no symptoms such as morning sickness, headache, and drowsiness that other pregnant women should have in the early stage, and even her appetite was much better than before.

"Brother, do you think I'm fat?" Jiang Wei touched his face and said.

If it weren't for Jiang Wei's fear that being too fat would cause gestational diabetes, and the baby would be too big to produce and restrain her appetite, she would have gained weight several times. Several female officials in the palace who specialize in serving the pregnant concubine are very critical of her restraint, she has always felt that pregnant women should eat more, but Jiang Wei ignored her, but after discussing with the imperial doctor, she made a list of diet plans for herself, regularly and quantitatively every day, and walked every day, which was much more diligent than before she was pregnant.

"No, you're a fine fit." Zhao Heng hugged her with satisfaction and became fleshy again, such a slight beauty is beautiful, what's so good about being so thin before.

"Anyway, when I have a baby, I will still get fat." Jiang Wei gave up on himself.

"Weiwei is the most beautiful at any time." Zhao Heng coaxed her.

"And what if I become an old woman in the future?"

"I'm also an old man, and you're still the most beautiful old woman." Zhao Heng said with a smile.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and stood on tiptoe to give her husband a kiss to show her reward.

Zhao Heng regretted in his heart, this girl has taken a lot of initiative recently, but it's a pity that she is pregnant, otherwise she will be able to coax her to turn tricks.

"Jiu Niang, Bai Shao asks to see you." Incense came in and said.

"Let her in." Jiang Wei couldn't help but be shocked when she heard that Bai Shao was coming, and waved her subordinates away, she was going to talk to Bai Shao about secrets.

Zhao Heng snorted in his heart, thinking about when to kick Lin Xi, an eyesore, back to Anxi, what is the use of him staying in the capital if he can't be a general. Zhao Heng originally wanted to wait for Jiang Jing to come back and canonize Lin Xi as a general, holding a million heavy troops in Great Qin.

"Jiuniang, Sang Langjun has agreed." Bai Shao came in to see that everyone didn't sell it after everyone retreated, and directly told the good news.

"Great! When did they get married? Jiang Wei asked happily.

"Said that after the filial piety of the country, they will get married first." Bai Shaodao, Lin Xi's current identity is destined to be impossible to hold a large-scale wedding.

"Will the Sang family agree?" Jiang Wei was a little worried, the words of the matchmaker of her parents!

"Jiuniang rest assured, these Langjun have thought about it, and the Sang family will agree." Bai Shao is full of confidence.

"Brother, after Ah Xi recovers his identity in the future, how about we make up a grand wedding for them?" Jiang Wei turned back to Zhao Heng and said.

"Can the wedding be rescheduled?" Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Of course you can make it up." Jiang Wei motioned for Bai Shao to go down, and then snuggled in Zhao Heng's arms, "Ah Xi has worked so hard in the past few years, don't be so fierce to him all the time, he is a girl." ”

The corners of Zhao Heng's mouth twitched, "I didn't treat him well enough?" "Lin Xi is a woman, if he hadn't met an emperor like him, who would have given him such a chance to become famous in the world?

Jiang pouted slightly, you are very good to Ah Xi, but this is clearly to roast him on the fire! Especially his reward for Ah Xi these days has made Jiang Wei sound the alarm in her heart, so she will use the baby kiss as a reason to arouse Ah Xi's interest in children, no matter what Brother wants Ah Xi to do, as long as Ah Xi becomes his own son, he should not be so relieved, right? "Brother, you promised me that I would have a princess, what about being a female general?" Jiang Wei coquettishly said, Ah Xi's identity is a bomb, it is not enough to become a biological child, it is best to tell his true identity as soon as possible.

"You really think so much of him." Zhao Heng looked at Jiang Wei with a smile.

"Because he's a good friend of ours, I played with you two when I was a kid." Jiang Wei said.

mentioned when he was a child, the smile on Zhao Heng's face became stronger, "You didn't like me when you were a child." "I like to be with Lin Xi's bastard.

"Who made you bully me all the time!" Jiang said slightly angrily, his little hand twisting his ears.

Zhao Heng grabbed her hand and bit it.

"Brother, do you agree?" Jiang Wei asked him to promise, and asked him to promise not to push Ah Xi down in such a dangerous position.

"Okay." Lin Xi is indeed a general, but he is not the only one under him, without Lin Xi, there are other people, if he can be slightly happy, what if he can be a female general? In Zhao Heng's heart, all the courtiers were just a chess piece on his chessboard, as long as there was no major matter, the movement between the chess pieces was not a big deal.

"Brother, you're so nice!" Jiang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this is the last time I have seen it." Zhao Heng nodded her forehead with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone, "If I go down again, I'm going to kill him." ”

Jiang Wei rubbed into his arms, "Of course, Brother is my most important person." "She's so smart she doesn't even mention the baby.

Zhao Heng smiled and hugged her, if Weiwei's heart was really on Lin Xi, he would not be able to tolerate him, how could he allow him to be so arrogant now, but he was still very unhappy when he heard the lady mention others.

Jiang Wei touched his belly, and secretly thought in his heart that if Ah Xi gave birth to a child, he would definitely be sent back to the capital, and he could grow up with the baby at that time. Born in a family like theirs, there are only a few people to choose from, childhood sweethearts are more reliable than anything, and it will take a long time to run in if you change strangers.
