Since the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the Yanwang Mansion, which has always been silent, has gradually become lively.

Often, some people come to the door hesitantly, and leave in twos and threes with the same faint excitement.

In the Yinluan Palace, which finally quieted down, a large map was spread on the ground and had not yet been put away, which immediately attracted Xiao Yu, who came to find his father with his mother.

As soon as the restless kid kicked his calf was put on the ground by his father, he began to crawl hard along the curves of mountains and rivers, kicking and kicking all the way, and from time to time he dripping a few drops of saliva on the canvas.

Zhou Manyun hurriedly chased, but the father was very happy, and even followed his son's example and lay on the ground to race with him for a few steps.

"Yu'er won't learn to leave, so it's up to you!" , Zhou Manyun, who was easy to control her son, sat on the ground and glanced at her husband angrily.

Xiao Yu has been ten months, he can stand on the handrail but he has no interest in learning to walk, as long as he lets go, he always has to climb on all fours, that is, he is fast and good at hiding, which always makes Man Yun, who is chasing him, sweat unconsciously.

Xiao Hong immediately accompanied the embarrassed smile and said in a low voice: "I heard the old saying that children climb more and crawl smartly, and every child will naturally learn to walk sooner or later, so why force it?" ”

"I just think he can at least take a few steps at the first birthday party, and make everyone look happier."

As soon as Man Yun's explanation came out, the little couple were a little sluggish and silent in unison, leaving only Xiao Yu, who was huddled between the two, still squeaking out syllables that no one could understand.

According to Emperor Jing's holy will, Xiao Hong's family's trip from Beijing to the north was arranged after Xiao Yu's birthday on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the future, even if they still have the opportunity to return to Luojing, most of them will be temporary guest residences.

After a long time, Xiao Hong reached out and squeezed Man Yun's hand, and said with a sullen smile: "The world is difficult, according to your strength to force him to learn." Is it impossible to let him learn to call Grandpa before leaving Luojing? ”

Man Yun thought about it, and also pursed his lips and lowered his head and smiled, "I guess he can learn to call grandma when he arrives in Yanzhou, and grandma will definitely be very happy." ”

"Stay until next summer, Yu'er can run and jump, and we will go to Wulianghai together." Xiao Hong turned over and found a little bit on the map, and gently grabbed his son's small handprint.

"In two years, we can go to the sea of sand in the flowers, and it is said that the fire scorpion there is no worse poisonous than Tong......"

"And then ......"

The more the couple talked, the happier they became, and Xiao Yu, who was a seal, turned around with his little buttocks turned around, and his giggling laughter was sprinkled in the room.

In the end, Xiao Yu, who was tired of playing, put his arms around his father's neck, but he fell asleep in the blink of an eye. Xiao Hong hugged his son tightly with one hand and stood up slowly, and with the other hand reached out to his wife, who was still sitting on the ground and looking down at the picture in contemplation.

The two pairs of eyes met and touched the sparks in the air, and they invariably landed on their son's delicate sleeping face, and looked at each other and smiled.

As far as the domain Yanzhou is concerned, it is just the first stage of the conclusion that has been settled in the court today. In fact, it has really been recognized by Emperor Jing and Xiao Rui, and the territory that King Yan can govern must be as they said just now, and the line that they just said to me should be earned by their husband and wife.

Mrs. Mo Zhi, who is now in charge of the military administration in Yanzhou under the rule of King Yan, is very old. Taking into account the interests of the Mo people and the people of Yanzhou, Xiao Hong had no face to care about his grandmother's begging or even hiding under her wing to be sheltered.

It may be harder to earn your own money and support yourself, but it is always more practical. And if the northern edge of the Jing Dynasty can be pushed further north, it will be a good thing.

If the move to the north is carried out steadily, it will take at least three or five years to achieve initial results, and the people who came to Yanwang's Mansion for months to negotiate with Xiao Hong and decided to go north together have different personal goals, but they also have fiery ambitions.

Even a few of Xiao Hong's brothers came to the door to talk to him in detail, but they didn't want to follow the others who went north. Instead, he left in silence with deep thought.

Xiao Hong, who relieved himself of his own worries, left the problem of how to choose to his brothers.

By the end of November, Manyun, who had been honestly nesting in the house with his children for a whole year, began to go out of the house frequently to participate in the party. Recently, Xiao Yu, who feels that the rice cereal cooked by his father is getting better and better, is also used to being stupid and happy to shake his hand away.

The parties that Manyun participated in did not bring milk dolls, and even fewer men appeared. Man Yun, who is about to leave Beijing, is happy to enjoy the friendship between sisters, and feels that it will be more comfortable if she doesn't need to be a referee.

It's just that the reason for the popularity of various competitions among Luojing women is far-reaching with her.

In order to facilitate the people sent by the Manyun family after the New Year, Mrs. Mo Zhi had a vigorous Mo woman in her hands, and knew that she would bring her husband and her son to the north Liu Hongmei and a team of women to Beijing for the Hajj in advance, and coincidentally sparked.

Martial arts, archery, equestrian ...... After a few competitions, the north and south sides won and lost, but the biggest surprise aroused the anger of the onlooker eldest princess Xiao Wan. actually took the lead in raising a women's army composed of Luojing nobles.

Xiao Wan, who is still dressed up, has more dealings with young girls and women, and she has no intention of being born, and her father will naturally be happy to see it.

The honorable officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee even supported the female princess, but did not care about the victory or defeat on the face. Affected by the original Tianxiang Rebellion, many people's eldest daughters raised in the boudoir are difficult to marry, and they can't wait to seize the opportunity to show how pure and generous the girls raised by their families are. IKEA IKEA.

Compared with the two teams in the north and south that were already wild, the nobles that Xiao Wan pulled up at the beginning inevitably fell behind, until Man Yun secretly made a move behind his back.

The biggest advantage of the nobles in Beijing is that they have the right to have money because of the geographical advantage, and they soon hired many young and sturdy girls from the market, and then used their strengths to come up with some more literate methods, but gradually turned the situation back.

Hongmei couldn't help but come to the door privately to complain that Zhou Manyun's elbow turned to her sister-in-law.

Zhou Manyun didn't smile at first, and only instigated Yu Xiaozi to throw himself into Hongmei's arms and compensate for his mother's saliva.

When Hongmei continued to protest, Man Yuncai explained in a low voice: "You and I are from the north and south, but we are just passers-by in Beijing, so what does it matter if you win or lose for a while?" If one day, the princess and noble girl will gradually become a trend in the country when the princess and the lady in Beijing show up, and you and the girl in the south of the Yangtze River will really win. “

While Hongmei frowned on a pair of heroic brows and pondered, Man Yun smiled and hugged Yu'er back into his arms again, rubbing his son's delicate little face affectionately.

Happiness in the moment. It was she who stumbled through a painful past life. Asking himself, Man Yun sincerely thinks that Hongmei, Manyin and others who appeared in his life in this life are much stronger than him, and even Xue Sujun and He Minglan, who have already died, are also remarkable.

What determines fate? Man Yun couldn't figure it out for a while, but he knew that it wouldn't be a bad thing if everyone had more choices in their lives.

Just like she chose to be a comfortable wife and mother, Hongmei wants to become a female general who can mark the annals of history like her grandmother, and Manyin, who returned to Jiangnan in advance, prefers to be called "sir" by others......

A woman can live her own life. No matter how much suffering there is in the process, the end should not be tragic.

Waiting for the husband and wife to communicate softly at night, Xiao Hong seriously corrected one of Man Yun's mistakes. It is human beings who are in control of their own destiny, and there is no distinction between men and women.

Xiao Hong brought back the new news from the court. After he threw bricks and led the jade, Xiao Yuan, the reckless San Lang of the Xiao family, after several months of careful consideration, also proposed a plan to become a feudal lord that was very "at a loss".

"Actually, our brothers are several years old, and there is no difference in the upbringing they received when they were young, although they have different mental habits. But whoever sits in that position isn't bad. The man who hugged his wife and boasted proudly raised his eyebrows, and only after getting a roll of his eyes did he add: "At least it is much stronger than the few people behind Chen Chao who have finished playing with the country." ”

"That's a cub selling Ye Tian is not distressed! At the beginning of the founding of the country, compared with the king of the dead country, is it a shame? You dare to guarantee that the descendants of the Xiao family will not be even more ridiculous......"

"Can't!" , Xiao Ze responded happily, and then smiled: "I'm not even sure what Xiao Han's future will be." It can only ensure that the eldest brother takes over the throne safely, which is more beneficial to our brother. ”

Compared with other brothers who grew up together and had similar education, Xiao Ze does have advantages that others do not have. The identity of the chief. At a slightly older age, the younger brothers have listened to the inertia of the eldest brother's command.

Man Yun secretly thought that if Xiao Ze died early like in his previous life. The sons of the Xiao family can't look at each other, so that the possibility of causing trouble to Xiao Wall is really very high.

Fortunately, he is alive and well, and fortunately, Xiao Hong is willing to let go of his burden freely.

It's just that before Manyun's praise for her husband was spoken, the person next to the pillow directly sent out a sigh that made her speechless.

"Because of the Chen Dynasty, my father hated his brothers and brothers. If it weren't for the stubbornness that I have been holding on to on weekdays, I guess his old man would have cut me a long time ago. ”

Counting all the way, the second Xiao Tan's wife was hit by the reverse case. Lao Xiao Yuan reflected on the slaughter of the city that day, and was forced to resign from his military position, and he could only rely on his mouth to make a living...... Xiao Hong didn't believe that there was no Xiao Rui's acquiescence or even deliberate in the beating of the stakes and piles.

Man Yun nodded blankly, and then suddenly woke up as a big mouth covered Sakura's lips, and reached out to support the man's strong chest.

"You say you have no desires?!", apricot eyes slanted white. wants to show the majesty of the female tiger, but she has a smile in her eyes.

"I just want you to do it!" , snorted angrily, Xiao Hong grabbed Man Yun's wrists with one hand and put them on the top of her head, and kissed them firmly.

Maybe hurry up and add younger brothers and sisters to Brother Yu'er is a serious plan for the future......

The sun stole the year, and the New Year of the third year of Xiyuan happily kicked off.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival dispersed early as the ministers expected.

When the bright moon is in the sky, the glazed tiles and the snow of the palace reflect each other, stretching the two figures outside the red palace wall door to grow long.

Xiao Hong respectfully supported his father, who was dyed with frost on his temples, and was silent.

Although going to the country and leaving home is not a miserable banishment, but a dream of seeking to lift one's wings, the mood will always become extra heavy when the departure date is approaching.

What's more, just now the two of them came all the way from Qingning Palace. It was okay to cross a long distance, but when he just said goodbye to Queen Xu, who was paralyzed on the couch, both father and son were a little embarrassed and wept.

"Know where this is?" , Xiao Rui squeezed Xiao Hong's hand tightly and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Hong shook his head gently.

The plaque on the palace gate is brand new, there is no word, and the route led by the old father just now is also a shortcut to seven twists and eight turns, for Xiao Hong, who has not actually stayed in the harem for long, there is a vague answer in his heart but he is not very sure.

"Jianzhang Palace!"

With Xiao Rui's words, the seemingly locked palace door opened without pushing, and the old man standing by the door had a shiny bald head.

Xiao Rui didn't speak again, and only took Xiao Hong through the palace rooms that had been carefully maintained. Finally, step by step, I ascended the sunset tower of Jianzhang Palace.

The fence is open on all sides, the breeze enters the bosom, the eaves hang the golden bells lightly, and a bright moon faints the silver ripples in the slight ringing bells.

"Even if the sun sets, you can still watch the jade toad in the sky. Beautiful, isn't it? Xiao Rui sighed lightly in the moonlight.

Then. He calmly turned his head to Xiao Hong, who was slightly stunned, and laughed heartily: "Life experiences are unspeakable. Back then, your aunt only thought about returning to the north but died in the palace, and I, who once gambled that I would no longer set foot in the palace, became the master of this palace city. ”

Of course, he also deviated from the idea of his youth and became the master of the world.

"No matter what the future holds, now is the beauty and regret it!" , Xiao Hong also grinned in his father's laughter, revealing a big smile.

The young arms that were wide open in front of him hugged Mingyue, and then closed them tightly to hold the old man in front of him in his arms.

"Daddy!" , Xiao Hong's voice was hoarse. And the face leaning on the emperor's neck has a childish look.

Xiao Rui slapped Xiao Hong's vest back as if he couldn't cry or laugh, and only after a long time did he sigh leisurely, "Idiot!" ”

The father and son, who had been standing in each other's arms for a long time on the sunset floor, were separated for a long time before going downstairs one after the other.

His Majesty the Emperor asked Xiao Hong a bunch of arrangements for the emperor and grandson to catch Zhou tomorrow, and pointed out the things to be careful when leaving Yandi a few days later, and then called the chamberlain to lead His Royal Highness King Yan to find his wife and children who had other arrangements.

"When people are old, they can't see them parting." , Watching his son's departing figure gradually dissolve into the night, Xiao Rui in the independent palace sighed again. "Monk Jane, are you really planning to leave here?"

A tall figure suddenly appeared in the darkness and fell to its knees. The bare forehead touches the stone, and there is a thumping sound.

"I said he was just my son! Maybe...... Maybe not the one you're going to protect. ”

"It's enough for him to go where she wants to go." , Jian Huai straightened up and froze for a moment, and then immediately gritted his teeth and knocked his head hard.

"Then you let him go!"

The sound of the promise in the wind was cold and cold, as if there was no trace of fireworks......

Man Yun, who let her husband say goodbye to the emperor's father-in-law alone, felt a little sour in her heart, for the man in front of her who also took the opportunity to talk to her again.

Man Yun persuaded Xu Ne, who had been promoted to the master of Xuanqing Guanguan, to travel with her, and even took Brother Yu, who liked to drag his fairy beard, as bait. Still ruthlessly rejected.

The senior brother Xu Yu, who was pierced through the bones and tendons, was also in Luojing, and he was already well after treatment, even if he followed the north together, it would be no problem. There are also two children who are said to be the biological flesh and blood of the senior brother, who are a few months older than Yu'er, and it is not difficult to take care of them......

Man Yun thought about the reason why Master and Senior Brother decided to stay in Luojing. After a long time, he said astringently: "Is Master going to stay in Luojing as a hostage to keep us safe?" ”

Xu Ne hugged Yu'er and turned it upside down, squinting at Manyun, as if teaching the child how ridiculous his mother's idea was.

"Master!" Manyun flattened his mouth in annoyance.

"If I'm hostage, it's not for you!" , Xu Ne said angrily, then flattened his tone and said gently: "You have seen Elder Kui's people, if there is still a Nanzhao poison master coming to the door, I can't imagine that there is a realm in the world that is more peaceful for our father and son than Luojing Imperial City." ”

"Or to leave me alone!" , Man Yun hesitated, stared at Xu Ne with blazing eyes, and said, "Master, if you don't just take the silver back to Nanzhao to make a ......."

"Yu'er! How stupid do you think your mother is? ”

Xu Ne grabbed the child's white and tender little paws and grinded them under his chin, and snorted disdainfully: "The thirty-seventh generation of the national teacher of the Southern Summoning Holy Star Hall is here now, so you can use your disrespect for the teacher's order to come out yourself?" Obediently brought the baby at home, don't add to the mess. ”

"After all, silver is a holy snake!"

With Man Yun's words, the silver coiled on her wrist raised her head, and a pair of glazed black pupils stared at Xu Ne's eyes without moving.

"The Holy Snake who left Nanzhao died early if he didn't accept the water and soil!"

Xu Nequ flicked his fingers and knocked on the triangular forehead of the silver. Xiao Yu in his arms chuckled, leaned forward, and smacked him in the same way.

The painful silver jumped up and bit the fat boy's pants, and then hid in an instant, causing Xiao Yu to scream excitedly, and began to look for snakes uneasily.

Xu Ne, who couldn't coax the child, had to let go and put the boy on the ground, and let him play hide and seek with Yinzi.

"As a mother, I think more about my children. Some things should be put away! After sending the child away, Xu Ne could train the adults with a straight face, "I only passed on your poison art at the beginning, and I didn't pass it on to you!" ”

Seeing that Man Yun was silent and began to bow his head and think, Xu Ne continued: "If you want to fulfill the responsibility of being the successor of the Holy Star Palace, if you meet someone destined in the future, you can pass on the poison technique I taught you." ”

"Anyone?"

"Anyone can do it!"

Man Yun let out a long sigh, his bright eyes brightened, and he complained to Xu Ne with disgust, "Master indulges his disciples so much, if the master and the ancestors of the generations know that they will not be able to spare you." ”

Xu Ne was silent for a while, then hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed softly: "What I told you just now seems to have been told to me by my master back then." It's just that I didn't understand it before. ”

When the Southern Summoning Kingdom was destroyed, Mang Cangyue sacrificed his body and blood to summon the Gu God to canonize the Holy Star, and drove away what Xu Ne said before he was about to die, thinking about it was indeed similar to the answer between their master and apprentice tonight.

The young Xu Ne was once saddened that Mang Cangyue did not have any hope of reviving the Holy Star Hall for him, and even if he traveled all over the world, he still couldn't really feel at ease.

But at this time, Xu Ne suddenly realized that he had touched the state of mind that the master had smiled at and let him leave.

A sound rang out, and Xiao Hong, who came to pick up Manyun's mother and son, stepped into the threshold.

picked up Xiao Yu from the ground and quickly stuffed it into his father's arms, and then grabbed the wrist of the apprentice who couldn't get rid of the stack and dragged it to his husband.

"Master!" , Zhou Manyun walked a few steps, couldn't help but look back at the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi who was standing in the wind to bid farewell to their family of three, smacked a few times between his lips, raised his arms and waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Dad!" Remember to watch the ceremony for Yu'er's week! ”

The courtyard door did not appreciate it, and it was firmly closed with a bang.

Xu Ne's back was firmly against the door panel, and he stared at the eternal bright moon in the sky.

When he handed Man Yun's hand to Xiao Hong just now and asked him to take people away, Xu Ne knew that he didn't want the heavy burden brought by the haze of the past to cause the slightest trouble to Man Yun, and just wanted her to live a happy and happy worldly life like an ordinary woman, and be safe and happy all her life.

Inheritance is not a burden, kinship, or bloodline.

"Master! Mother......"

The moon was silent, quietly caressing Huaguang on Xu Nejun's dusty smiling face.

Nanzhao, Luojing, Yanzhou, or more distant north...... Whether it is at this time or in the future, there is a round of the end of the world, where the bright moon does not shine.

Life is like this, floating like this......
