The decree in the palace was still given.

Ge Xinrong knew that if there was no father, this holy decree would not have been sent to Ge Mansion at all.

She is not qualified to blame Daddy for anything, Daddy did all this for her.

But whether it was because of the friendship in the past or for the future of the two in the future, she was determined to meet Cai Yu.

In the middle of the night, the stars and the moon are dark.

Ge Xinrong came to the corner of the backyard under the rose frame, she looked up at the high wall, and somehow remembered the time when she was a child.

At that time, the continuous firelight had not yet burned all the good things of the past, and she was sitting on the swing under the trellis, and the slightly swaying world was full of flying flowers.

Cai Yu stood in this flying flower and looked at her and smiled.

Sister Xinrong, do you like to read? Me too.

Sister Xinrong, do you like to play the piano? Me too.

Sister Xinrong, do you like embroidery? Me too.

Sister Xinrong, Sister Xinrong......

Brother Yu, do you really not remember me?

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she quickly wiped them with her sleeve.

When she was a child, Cai Yu always liked to secretly climb over the wall to play with her, because she was afraid that he would be injured, so she hid four or five large stones of different heights under this flower stand, and the big stones were arranged according to the law, forming a small stone step.

There are flowers and plants in the background, and this stone step has not been discovered by my father.

But since he didn't remember her, no one had stepped on this little stone staircase, and now, it was moss-grown.

Bending down and tying the hem of her skirt up, Ge Xinrong tore open the flowers and plants on the stone steps with her hands, then took a deep breath and stepped on it.

The moss was slippery, and the night was so dark that she almost fell off it a few times, but she managed to climb the wall safely.

But in this way, she didn't know how to go down.

"Who? Who's there? ”

A low cry suddenly came from under the bushes, and Ge Xinrong was so frightened that her heart almost stopped.

"Is that you?"

The soft moonlight poured down from the sky, and a familiar and unfamiliar face gradually appeared between the branches.

Ge Xinrong's breath stopped.

"What are you doing climbing up there? Aren't you afraid of falling? Cai Yu frowned, and her eyes were at the slender woman who didn't dare to leave the wall for a moment, for fear that a gust of night wind would blow her down.

"Brother Cai Yu......" Ge Xinrong's cheeks were red, she opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Cai Yu was helpless, flew up, and directly hugged her by the waist.

"If you want to come to Cai's Mansion, just walk directly from the main gate, and no one dares to stop you."

"I know." Ge Xinrong lowered her head and said softly.

Seeing her like this, Cai Yu didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only point to her study and ask her, "Do you want to go into the house and have a cup of tea?" ”

Ge Xinrong blushed and nodded.

Seeing this, Cai Yu coughed awkwardly and walked in front first.

Probably in order not to be seen, Cai Yu deliberately picked a sparsely populated path to walk, and by the time the two arrived at the study, they were already covered with blades of grass.

"You ......" Cai Yu subconsciously raised his hand to help her brush off the leaves on her body, but as soon as his hand touched her clothes, he quickly retracted it like a fire.

Although Cai Yu tried his best to hide his behavior, Ge Xinrong still saw the embarrassment and disgust in his eyes.

There was a sudden pain in her heart, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes again.

"Let's have tea." Cai Yu staggered over and poured her a cup of tea.

Ge Xinrong stretched out her hand to take it, but she only held it with both hands.

The warmth came from the wall of the cup, and Ge Xinrong finally calmed down a little.

"I ...... I'm here for you tonight. ”

Cai Yu was stunned for a moment, although he had already expected it, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"You're looking for me, are you...... Can I help you? ”

Ge Xinrong took her head off his line of sight slightly.

"Decree of marriage, you... Did you receive it too? ”

Speaking of this, Cai Yu felt an indescribable irritability, and his tone became impatient, "The two holy decrees were delivered at the same time, and since your house has received it, so is our self." ”

Cai Yu's irritability, Ge Xinrong could feel it almost immediately, she lowered her eyes, knowing that she shouldn't stay here anymore.

"Brother Yu, are you ......" she plucked up her courage and looked up at the young man in the brocade dress in front of her, "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”

This kind of thing shouldn't actually come out of the mouth of a lady, but this has become a demon in her dreams every night, she really ...... I don't want to torture myself like this anymore.

Cai Yu didn't want to answer this question, so she turned around.

Ge Xinrong's eyes suddenly turned red, and she whispered to him, "I know, I won't force you." ”

After speaking, she pushed open the door and ran out, and when Cai Yu came back to her senses and was about to chase after her, there was only one lonely moon left in the vast night, which became more and more cold in the cold wind. To read

"Xinrong ......"

If he really gets to the bottom of it, it's not that he doesn't want to marry her, and even when the holy decree came down, he felt as if he was relieved, and there was an indescribable sense of relief all over his body.

If someone says he's having fun, he won't deny it.

The reason why he hesitated and became irritable in the face of the question she asked was not because he hated her, but because he always had an inexplicable sense of guilt for her, which made him feel as if his breath was painful.

He didn't understand why he felt this way about her, he really, really hated it.

When he was a child, he couldn't help but secretly lie on the wall to look at her, the melancholy when she played the piano, the sigh when she embroidered, and the loneliness of standing alone under the rose stand......

He engraved it all in his heart.

But he just didn't dare to face her.

Fear from the heart.

"Whew!" Cai Yu let out a long sigh, turned around and closed the door.

Anyway, after all, the holy decree was issued, and neither he nor her had a chance to regret it, and on the day of marriage, he apologized to her, and then said the doubts that had been deposited in his heart for many years.

He had an intuition that Xinrong would definitely be able to answer his doubts.

One month later, the wedding date arrived.

The red silk is all over the sky, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the Zhuyi Lane is celebrating.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Cai Yu walked out of the house in a red wedding robe.

"Congratulations." He Qiong congratulated him.

"You're finally starting a family." Pei Ling, who came from thousands of miles away early, hugged Cai Yu excitedly: "In the future, you finally don't have time to go to me to make trouble." ”

Cai Yu's face darkened, and he pushed his head away with all his might, "Open it for me!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Huaishu and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Didn't He Wei and Yang Jie come back?" Cai Yu looked left and right, but he didn't see the shadows of Jiang Hewei and Yang Jie, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"They are all on the frontier, and now the situation is tense, how can they come back without the emperor's order?" Yang Huaishu smiled: "But they should have also sent congratulatory letters and gifts, right?" ”

"I sent it...... By the way, what about Brother Zhi? ”

"The Praetorian Guards still have some urgent matters to deal with, calculate the time, he is almost here." I smiled and explained to him, "Don't worry, he'll be able to come and drink your wine." ”

"Really?" Cai Yuke couldn't believe me.

"Alright, get on the horse, the bride is still waiting for you." Pei Ling patted Cai Yu on the shoulder and urged him to hurry up and get on the horse to greet him.

Cai Yu was also in a very happy mood at this time, if it weren't for this, even on a big day like this, he wouldn't easily forgive me and give me a good look.

"What about Du Rong? Why didn't he come? Cai Yu felt a little strange.

It stands to reason that Du Rong is the most leisurely one among them, even if he hadn't come early to congratulate him, he wouldn't have come until now, right?

"He ......" I paused, and the smile on my face couldn't help but fade, "He can't leave Qizhou, this is his congratulatory letter and gift list to you." ”

I took out a red letter and a gift slip from my sleeve and handed it to him.

When Cai Yu saw these two things, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

They are friends who have been classmates for several years, but now they are inevitably separated and cannot be reunited, how can this not make people feel sentimental?

"On the day of great joy, don't be sluggish." He Qiong saw that Cai Yu was not on the horse for a long time, for fear of some accident, so she hurriedly pushed and let him ride the horse.

The welcoming team began to move forward, with hundreds of birds and phoenixes, suona sounding, red silk flowers, and jubilant.

The officials of Zhuyi Lane congratulated the two families one after another, and even the emperor sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

However, because Caifu and Gefu are only separated by a wall, the distance is too close, the two mansions will follow the rules of the ancestors, go out of Cai's mansion, go to the east, go around the capital, and then enter Zhuyi Lane from the west, and wait for the bride to get on the sedan chair, and then directly welcome Cai's mansion.

Cai Yu's mood at the moment, if he is not nervous, it must be fake.

His heart was already beating to his throat.

Childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, he should be her favorite person, right?

If there was no holy decree, would she be willing to marry him, who was always cold to her?

What if she was reluctant to marry him at all? Forcing her? Or let her go?

It's a mess.

Just when Cai Yu was hesitating, the greeting team finally stopped in front of Gefu.

Looking at the big happy words on the door of Gefu, Cai Yu's heart calmed down suddenly, and a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before wrapped his heart tightly.

"Walk the water, walk the water! Come on, Miss's room is in the water! ”

"Help, Miss is still inside, come and save Miss!"

"Master, you can't go in, the fire is too big."

"Quick, quick, water, get water to put out the fire!"

"Don't stop me, Rong'er, Rong'er!"

"Miss, Miss!"

Suddenly, thick smoke and fire rose from Gefu, and a noisy and chaotic sound instantly filled the firecrackers outside to celebrate the joy.
