Lan Liuxiang ran away again.

Bai Chang was really angry, he didn't expect that under the absolute crushing of his strength, he would never be able to hold this Mingwu Heavenly Lord, who was even more elusive than a ghost.

However, Lan Liuxiang suffered serious internal injuries and couldn't run for long. The only thing to worry about is that the direction in which Lan Liuxiang fled was no longer Yizhou, but turned to the north.

From Luoxiao Mountain to the north, one is the border of Jingzhou, and the other is the imperial capital of Jinling!

Bai Chang did not hesitate for too long, and looked at Jinling from afar, there must be six extremely important people there, following the past, even if he couldn't find Yudu Mountain, he would not return empty-handed.

Jinling, the southern foot of Zhoushan Mountain, Guo's Annex!

Concubine Song stood behind Guo Mian, rubbing his shoulders and back for him, soothing his muscles and bones, Yurong frowned, and said: "Grandma looks like she should have lost herself to Xu You, this is good, the chicken flies and the eggs are beaten, and he gave him 30,000 taels of silver for nothing, and he also pasted a girl who is like a flower and jade." ”

Guo Mian smiled bitterly: "The female eldest is not staying, Grandma has also suffered a lot in Guo Mansion over the years, it is the year of Tao Li Fang, the empty boudoir is unbearable, it is good to have a good person." ”

"It's just that I think that Xu You is unfathomable, and he may not be a good person......

"It's a good thing for a man to have a bit of a city, and it's better to live in this troubled world than those scholars who don't know the world." Guo Mian squinted his eyes and said, "Needless to say, Xu You's intelligence is needless to mention, from the first time I saw him, I knew that this son was definitely not a thing in the pool." Not to mention anything else, just looking at the fact that he was able to put down the foundation of Qiantang and resolutely plunge into the quagmire of Jinling, where there is no blood, he knows that his ambition is not small, and he may really be able to revive his family style in the future. ”

"What does Lord Xun mean, Xu You knew the news of Taicheng, so he ventured back to Jinling?" Concubine Song was surprised: "It's not right, even we have only found a little news in recent days, count the days, he set off from Qiantang a month ago......"

Guo Mian opened his arms, revealing his fat body, although it was late autumn, he was still sweating profusely, wiping his face with a silk scarf, sat up from the bed, and said: "So I said that this son is not a thing in the pool, except for Grandma to provide him with a source of information, there must be other ways." This is the most terrifying place, think he is far away in Qiantang, but we know every move in Taicheng better than we are in Jinling, if there is no extreme eye to the sky, how can we glimpse the scenery of the clouds? ”

Concubine Song said in horror: "I'll send someone to check ......"

"Confused!" Guo Mian said lightly: "Xu You is not our enemy, don't offend him, each has its own way, we can't go, others can't go?" At the moment, it is urgent for you to secretly arrange the retreat, and once there is a change in Taicheng, we must ensure that all our people are evacuated safely. As for other things, don't get involved, let's be a quiet spectator in this change! ”

Concubine Song's beautiful eyes were full of admiration, Guo Mian was like the mountain in her heart, as long as the mountain was there, no matter how strong the wind was and how high the waves were, she was fearless.

Cui Yuanxiu was entangled by the king of Xiangdong for three days, he couldn't stand the noise, and fled back in embarrassment. ”

When the wall was demolished, many people came to watch, some outsiders, some people from Cui's Mansion, Liang Yuan, Fan Ge and others also came to watch, inside and out, crowded and crowded. Xu You stood in the lively crowd, turned back by chance, but saw that in the depths of the shade of Nacui Mansion, Zhang Xuanji was wearing a green skirt and a white veil on his face, like an independent valley orchid, leaning on the autumn maple tree, slender and colorful, beautiful as in a picture.

The orchid is rampant, and its fragrance is promoted. If you don't pick it up, why does Yu Lan hurt?

There are countless beautiful girls in the world, but there is only one Zhang Xuanji!

As if he had a heart in his heart, Zhang Xuanji suddenly looked at Xu You's side. Xu You lowered his head and avoided it. After a while, I looked up again, and the beautiful woman was gone.

The vigorous farce of tearing down the wall lasted all morning, but there was money and power to do things, before dusk, the new wall was built, and it perfectly integrated into the original architectural style, not obtrusive, but also more exquisite, the king of Xiangdong acted a little overbearing, but the reason why it is not annoying is this.

At night, the steward came to the kitchen and instructed Xu You to prepare some soup to wake up and quench his thirst, and then get some pastries and send them over. Xu Youqi said: "Lord Xun has never eaten at night, what's wrong today?" ”

The steward got along well with Xu You during this time, but he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang is here, Lord Xun is happy, don't you know, how much it hurts to accept this female apprentice......

Zhang Xuanji went to Cui Yuanxiu so late, and he had no choice but to tear down the wall and make up for the wall for a day, and only this point was free. After Xu You's observation, Zhang Xuanji did not live in Cui's mansion, but left in the afternoon to return to his residence. There must be something important to discuss tonight, so you have to avoid the mess of people and things during the day.

After making a supper, Xu You said to the waiting steward: "I just developed a new product, the lord may ask, why don't I send it in?" ”

The steward thought about it, anyway, it was not the first time, there should be no problem, and said: "It's okay, go ahead, remember not to disturb Lord Xun and Miss Zhang!" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain knows!"

Cui Yuanxiu saw Zhang Xuanji in the study, Xu You is now smart, four or five zhang away, and the surrounding environment is very quiet, and the conversation between the two is in his ears.

"Master, you promised me when you left the house the day before yesterday, and when you come back, you will discuss the matter of accepting Xu You as an apprentice, why don't you want to talk about it again?" Zhang Xuanji knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Xu You's character and literary thinking are both outstanding in Jiangdong, and he will not insult the reputation of his master."

Cui Yuanxiu sighed: "Xuanji, then Xu You'er is ruthless and unrighteous, why do you bother to beg yourself so much for him?" I deliberately humiliated him, just because I vented my evil anger for you! ”

Zhang Xuanji said in a low voice: "Why did the master say this? Xu You and I are just acquaintances, and we don't have a grudge......"

"The maid next to you is called Qingluo, right?" Cui Yuanxiu didn't hide it, and explained: "Your master once asked Qing Luo in private if you have a favorite Langjun - Xuanji, don't blame your master for being troublesome, she also cares about you, and there is no malice." Qingluo mentioned that Xu You and you had a relationship in Qiantang, like those who are unfortunate and lucky, I have my own judgment. ”

"Master, I ......"

Zhang Xuanji didn't expect that the most secret feelings in his heart were told to outsiders by Qingluo in private. Maybe Qingluo thinks that Cui Yuanxiu is her master, which is almost equivalent to the existence of her parents, and under the inducement of her master, it is inevitable that she will be straightforward and fast-talking, and it is not Xu You, which is understandable, but who would have thought that it would cause such a big turmoil?

Cui Yuanxiu stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to be shy, I have always been good friends with your father, and now I am your teacher, so you can't explain anything to me." ”

Zhang Xuanji was silent for a long time, and said: "I value him not to be depressed in trouble, and he is not broken, I pity him for his life experience duckweed, lonely and miserable, I am happy with his poetry and articles, and I admire his ambition even more, admiration or a little, but if you say that you are in love, you are not as good as the master thinks." ”

"In that case, then there is no need to admit him into my doorway! Even if it weren't for you, I would be extremely disgusted with this son, who became famous at a young age, reckless, relying on the power of Princess Danyang and the King of Xiangdong, to force me to bow my head...... Hmph, who is Cui? Thirty years ago, the Lord forced me to come out of office several times, but I still refused. I don't know what to do! People say that the Xu family is a barbarian, and it is really arrogant and unreasonable! ”

The reason why Cui Yuanxiu insisted on rejecting Xu You as an apprentice and being angry for Zhang Xuanji was true, and the inexplicable disgust in his heart was also true, but there was also a very important reason for Liang Yuan, his most valued and beloved disciple.

Since Zhang Xuanji took the initiative to worship Cui's Mansion half a year ago, Liang Yuan has been moved by this rare strange woman in the world, and Cui Yuanxiu also intends to fulfill this karma. never thought that Xu You would come to Beijing suddenly, Zhang Xuanji was willing to leave behind the opportunity to find Guanglingsan, regardless of the pain of traveling, and rushed back to the capital overnight to intercede.

He has become a good old man, how vicious his eyes are, and he just tried it a little, so he naturally could see that Zhang Xuanji was insincere, and it was estimated that he had no more feelings for Xu You, so he said no cruel words, and completely cut off Xu You's way to get started.

"Master, Xu You is by no means such a person, please let the apprentice defend one or two......"

Cui Yuanxiu waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, Xu You will never be able to become my disciple in this life, so don't bother with words." And he said, "But if I talk about you tonight, I don't have to hide it from you." Xuanji, Liang Yuan's character is a hundred times better than Xu You, although his family background is not as good as that of the Zhang family of Wu County, but he can also be regarded as a middle-class scholar in the rank, and Xu You's newly restored inferior scholar status is even more incomparable. In a few days, I will arrange it, and I will go to your mansion on behalf of Liang Yuan to propose marriage, presumably Zhang Zhongcheng should like the virtuous son-in-law I chose for you! ”

Zhang Xuanji's father was promoted from Jiangzhou Sima to Zhongshu Shilang, and in recent years, he has been making steady progress in the past few years, and has been a four-grade imperial historian. As long as you don't make big mistakes and have the qualifications above the middle, it is not difficult to be promoted.

Zhang Xuanji didn't expect Cui Yuanxiu to plan her marriage early, raised his head, although his voice was not loud, but he was extremely resolute, and said: "Senior Brother Liang is a good person, but I am not a good match." The kindness of the master is remembered by the apprentice, but if you want me to marry Senior Brother Liang, you can't! ”

"Presumptuous!" Cui Yuanxiu was furious, stood up, pointed at Zhang Xuanji and was about to reprimand, but opened his mouth, looked at the fetal marks on her face, remembered that the disciples in front of him had suffered those grievances over the years, his complexion was slightly gloomy, and he said softly: "Xuanji, you have been raised in the deep boudoir since you were a child, you don't know people's hearts and are sinister, you are deceived by that Xu You, your love is unforgettable, and I don't blame you for being a teacher." However, is marriage a major event, is it child's play? The words of the matchmaker of your parents' orders are always more knowledgeable and experienced than you at a young age, so that you will not be entrusted to no one and regret it too late in the future! ”

Zhang Xuanji's eyes were clear, and the shadow of that person seemed to appear in front of him again, and an invisible smile overflowed from the corners of his lips, and he said word for word: "I don't regret it!" ”

Xu You, who had been standing on a slumped body outside the door, suddenly straightened his waist, and his undoubted bearing was undoubtedly displayed, if the person in charge was on his side, it was estimated that his eyes would fall out of fright.

Although Cui Yuanxiu is a great Confucian, he is also a human being, and he will also have selfishness and likes and dislikes. Look at Zhu Xi in later generations, look at Dong Qichang, knowledge and talent do not mean that you can be selfless. Xu You, who has been a person in two lives, has already seen this clearly, so when he heard Cui Yuanxiu's words, he didn't feel shocked or angry - the purpose of his apprenticeship was not pure, so naturally it was no wonder that others dealt with him with impurity.

However, if someone else has set up an archway, he doesn't need to do it again, and the eavesdropping in the past ten days is enough to understand Cui Yuanxiu's research on Shangshu. To put it simply, although Cui Xue is quite sophisticated, he still has not escaped from the trap of the world, Xu You has Qingming and He Wei around him, and the accumulation of countless scholars in later generations, it is not difficult to win.

A man's husband, if he is a bystander and the girl he likes is forced to such a Jedi and is still timid, what is the use of this eight-foot body, and what is the use of wanting this subtle heart?

Holding the food plate in his hand and pushing open the door of the study, Xu You swept away his usual cowering and humility, stood tall and tall, and said with a smile: "Cui Gong, the villain is here to bring you a meal!" ”
