People are reluctant to be reluctant in this life, reluctant to condescend to others, reluctant to leave their hometowns, reluctant to separate flesh and blood, and reluctant to grow up with children.

Shen Zhiluo is the most reluctant to be the same as the mortal world, he will not say that he is reluctant, nor will he ask her why she has to go, even if he is full of irritability, he just looks out the window and wrung the water in the handkerchief little by little.

The fox's eyes moved slightly, Su Miao got up with the bedstring, stretched out her hand from behind him, and pressed her cheek against his back.

"I'll see you soon." She laughed.

He doesn't like to be close to her, in this posture, he will definitely get angry, Su Miao reacted quickly, quickly withdrew his hand before he got angry, and ran out of the door with a smoke.

"Waiting for me to marry you." The delicate voice floated in from afar, gently brushing his back with the hot wind outside.

Shen Zhiluo paused, and his eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions.

He put down his veil and turned around.

Knowing that there was a noisy call in the shade of the trees, the fish pond where the water had been changed was sparkling, and as far as the eye could see, the altar was empty and deserted, and there was no longer half a figure. Su Miao has always been like this, she comes and goes quickly, and she will not leave half a sentence after she has said all her words.

With a cold snort, he dragged the purple and black star robe half-draped in the crook of his arm, and walked out haughtily.

Su Miao returned to the General's Mansion and felt inexplicably clean when she entered the door.

She glanced up and down at the lintel in wonder, turned her head and asked the porter: "Which courtyard has made a mistake and has been punished to clean it?" ”

The porter said with a sad face: "Where can I be, since the third prince went to work, no one in this mansion dared to make a mistake, but the young lady was idle and had nothing to do, and she was sprinkling and sweeping every day." ”

Little sister-in-law? Su Miao was stunned, threw her luggage to the maid and ran towards the east courtyard.

Li Jingyun said to her when she left: "Your little sister-in-law, who looks soft, is actually cold-hearted, she won't be sad and sad after her father leaves, but you can also walk around when you have time to see what she is doing." ”

After a pause, he said to himself with annoyance: "What can I do, I don't know how to miss my lord after all." ”

Su Miao also laughed at him, saying that the person who was left behind did not become a complaining woman, why did he still complain about leaving.

Li Jingyun shook his head and said, "You don't understand, it's too difficult to please your sister-in-law with two points of sincerity." ”

His expression at that time was too serious, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes, so that Su Miao really felt that his sister-in-law had never taken him seriously.

Result –

Stepping into the east courtyard, Su Miao saw Hua Yue standing in front of the Bogu frame in the main house in a daze, she seemed to have lost two points of weight, and her willow leaf-like figure stood motionless.

Two steps closer, she heard a cold whisper: "The ghost believes in you." ”

Who is this talking about? Su Miao raised her eyebrows puzzled, thought about it, and shouted with a smile: "Little sister-in-law." ”

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at her, and there were two smiles in her eyes: "Miss Cousin is back." ”

"It's boring to stay at the altar, and I'm rushing back to see the excitement." Su Miao went in the door and pulled her hand, "How is my sister-in-law doing?" ”

Hua Yue nodded, poured tea for her, and brought a plate of snacks: "The third prince is not here, this courtyard is relaxed, but it is a little boring." ”

Su Miao smiled: "You are now the young lady of the General's Mansion, and no matter how boring you are, there is no reason to sprinkle and sweep the lintel in person." ”

"Idle is idle, their lazy minions can't sweep the ashes every time, and today I went to teach a lesson, and it went to your ears." As she spoke, she took out a few more embroidery samples to show her.

"Miss Cousin's wedding is approaching, Madame asked me to help choose the pattern of the hijab, these are the best ones sent by the embroidery girl, you see?"

Su Miao only glanced at it and said, "Little sister-in-law can pick it casually." ”

Huayue was a little surprised, other girls got married, and everything had to be picked to their liking, after all, the marriage event is only once in a lifetime, Miss Cousin is good, don't look at it?

Sensing her doubts, Su Miao narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If Shen Zhiluo is really willing to marry me, then I wish I could pick every silk thread by myself." But he didn't want to, so he drove the ducks to the shelves and let me pick them up. If I were to choose this marriage carefully, it would be boring. ”

Hua Yue looked thoughtfully at the treasure cabinet where she held her wedding dress.

"Hey, I'm not the same thing as you." Realizing what she was thinking, Su Miao hurriedly turned her head back, and said seriously, "My cousin is sincere in marrying you, and neither is my sister-in-law...... Well, it's not so reluctant to marry, is it? ”

Speaking of the back, Su Miao was weak in her heart, and her fox eyes blinked.

Hanatsuki thought for a moment and nodded at her: "Well, I volunteered." ”

As the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion in her capacity, she wants to be the first bird, and she must be investigated, and she may not necessarily be exposed one day. So when she saluted Zhuang's, the frost was so anxious that she almost stomped through the floor.

Hua Yue later comforted her, saying that this was a last resort, and also said that the third prince was going to enter the palace anyway, and it was not too much to fulfill someone's wish.

But she knew very well that the ritual continued, and she was willing to do it.

Su Miao looked at the flashing emotion on the face of the person in front of her, and her mouth opened wide.

She has known Yin Zhangshi for some years, and this person in her impression is sleek, sensible and docile, almost never makes mistakes, and manages the inside and outside of the General's Mansion in an orderly manner, but after so long, she rarely sees any tenderness of her daughter's family in Yin Zhangshi.

Even subconsciously, she didn't treat this person as a girl's home.

However, in front of her, Yin Huayue's eyes were lowered, and her fingers pinching the sample tightened slightly, as if she remembered someone, and she hooked her lips and smiled.

This smile is so sweet, it seems to boil the candied fruit of the entire Jing'an Hall in it.

Su Miao's heart trembled when she saw it.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong.

His clever cousin seems to have missed one thing.

"Miss Cousin, what else do you have to buy?" Hua Yue's face regained her composure and asked her in a low voice.

Rolling her eyes, Su Miao smiled: "I don't know, why don't you go to the street to see?" ”

"Okay." Hua Yue nodded, and without saying a word, she went to get the silver ticket and went out with her.

Su Miao understood that her sister-in-law didn't love to sweep much, she was just afraid that she would be idle, afraid that she would think of something, so she was desperately looking for something to do for herself.

This person accompanied her to the street before, and she was going to go home after a while, but today she had a sore back, and Hua Yuedu still pointed to the front and asked, "Have you seen that silk village?" ”

Su Miao rubbed her legs and thought bitterly, why was she the one who suffered from the sins created by her cousin?

"Look." She sighed.

The shopkeeper of the silk village seems to have a happy event, and he looks like he is smiling when he gives them silk and satin, and he does not hesitate to measure half a foot of material for them.

"Are you a big kid in the family?" Kazuki asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "At my age, where can I add Ding, but my unscrupulous son has a future, entered the scientific examination room, and has not been repatriated yet." ”

The imperial examination of Daliang, because of some scruples of His Majesty today, so those who go to the examination in Beijing eat and live in the examination room, and those who fail will be repatriated, and they will be sent back one by one, and the later they return, the better, until the Sanjia Palace tries to ask the champion.

Count the days, and now it's the day of the temple exam.

Su Miao clapped her hands in amazement: "This is amazing, the shopkeeper will not let go of this shop, and follow his son to enjoy happiness." ”

"Wherever he is, he's lucky." The shopkeeper was modest, but his face was a pride that could not be hidden.

Hua Yue picked up the ingredients and finally got into the carriage back home with her.

Rubbing her calves, Su Miao blinked and said, "If my cousin hadn't listened to the general, how good would it be to choose to go to the scientific examination, choose another official position, and still live in the mansion." ”

Hua Yue smiled: "The wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to talk about it." ”

She hugged the silk she had just bought, stroked the lines on her head, and began to think about what kind of dress she wanted to make for her wife.

Su Miao glanced at her hand and frowned slightly: "Little sister-in-law, you can rest for two days, look at this little mouth on the top, my cousin has to hang Badou at the back door as bacon when he comes back." ”

"What does this have to do with Hachito." Kazuki chuckled and shook her head, not going to her heart.

When Li Jingyun comes back, I am afraid that the skin on her hand has been changed in two layers, and there is still any opening.

When Su Miao returned to the house, Huayue had more things to do, making a cup of black chicken soup every day and sending it to the main courtyard, settling the accounts in the mansion, cleaning up the two disobedient subordinates, and adding a dowry to the gift list.

Such days are very fulfilling, but I don't know why, Su Miao always looked at her with some worry in her eyes.

Hua Yue knew what Su Miao was worried about, she didn't feel that she had any intention of using her busyness to escape anything, and she didn't miss Li Jingyun very much.

A few days of love.

Shaking her head disdainfully, she lowered her eyes and continued to look at the ledger.

It was nearly dusk, everything was arranged, the sunset blurred in the sky, and the east courtyard suddenly became empty.

Kazuki stood in the main room, staring stiffly at the pair of brocade boots on Bogu's shelf.

She dreamed last night that these boots jumped off the shelf and turned into a person, who was annoying, eyebrows and eyes, body, and ruffian, and the inky pupils looked down at her, with a three-point smile and seven points of ridicule.

She beat him up hard.

But when I woke up, there were only boots in the room, no one in the room, and there was nowhere to beat them if I wanted to.

Staring at the boots in annoyance, Kazuki's fists clenched tightly, her shiny nails turned white from exertion, and her knuckles were stirred together, one red and one blue.

However, after a few moments, the clenched fingers slowly loosened, and the fingertips moved, lifted up, and joined the other hand.

- There is a saying in Daliang that if you put your newly bought boots on the shelf, you can be a half-bodhisattva, and if you worship sincerely, you can make your wishes come true.

The person standing in front of Bogu was slightly in a trance.

She stared at the boots, her thin lips twitching, muttering something, and then bent down reverently toward the brand-new boots.

For a moment, two moments, the room was quiet, and nothing happened.

After a while, Hua Yue straightened up and opened her eyes, feeling that she was really stupid, and shook her sleeves angrily: "Liar! ”

The glow on the horizon suddenly flourished, and the dim light shone in from the door, dragging out a long shadow, Huayue didn't pay attention, turned her head and wanted to rush out of the door, but the afterglow flashed, and she froze in place.

The slender body leaned against the door frame, and a halo was outlined, and the blue carp embroidery on the hem of the shirt turned into a dark color against the light.

The man seemed to be laughing, his shoulders twitching slightly, and his deep voice was like an ancient harp, reaching her head through the dusk.

"Ye never lies." He said.

Like the fireworks in the New Year's Pass suddenly exploded in front of her eyes, Hua Yue shook her head, and subconsciously reached out to play with the afterglow, wanting to remove these dim lights and see who it was.

Naturally, she didn't pull it away, but the man took a step forward, and his handsome eyebrows became clear in front of her eyes.

There was a familiar light in his inky eyes, and the tails of his eyes were slanted over, slightly disgusted.

"It's only been a long time, why did you want to be like this." Li Jingyun laughed slowly.

Breathing stagnated for a moment, and Hua Yue's eyes moved: "You ......"

He lowered his head and rubbed her ear slightly with the side of his face with some green beard marks: "Don't you recognize?" ”

Naturally, she recognized it, and Kazuki nodded confusedly.

In the next moment, someone was behind her, and her body involuntarily pressed up against his heart.

The thing that had been hanging in his heart suddenly returned to its original position, and Hua Yue hugged him with her backhand, with surprise and joy in her eyes, but she still asked in confusion: "How did you get out?" ”

"When the palace gate opens, it will naturally come out." He replied vaguely, sniffing her with affection.

Hurriedly pushed him away, Hua Yuehu squinted suspiciously: "Sneaking away again?" There's no one in the palace to cover for you, you ...... you left your post without permission."

Looking at her with a smile in her eyes, Li Jingyun snorted and lowered her head to block the broken thoughts.

Outside suddenly became lively, I don't know which slave shouted, the entire general's mansion was boiling, beating gongs and drums, running to tell each other, and even some people set off firecrackers at the main gate.

"Cousin, sister-in-law!" Su Miao shouted outside, "Come out quickly!" ”

Someone pushed him in the chest, Li Jingyun took a half step back and glanced out unhappily.

The man in his arms didn't come back to his senses, his little paw was against his heart, and his voice sounded a little floating: "Go out and have a look." ”

With a "hmm", Li Jingyun separated her fingers one by one, clasped them tightly with her own hand, and then took her out.

At this hour, all the houses should be eating, and somehow, everyone gathered in the main court, Li Shoutian sat on the main seat with a calm face, and Zhuang was crying with joy on the side.

"Okay, very good, let him come over and give a salute to a few uncles and uncles who have been taking care of him."

Hua Yue followed Li Jingyun into the door, her eyes were still a little dull, she was pressed by him on the low stool beside his wife, looking around blankly.

"Congratulations." Several distant aunts whispered next to her, "If you marry a husband, you should marry us Jing Yun, who has a future and ambition, who would have expected that this one would come back with the leader of the martial arts test?" The general should not be angry, Wu Zhuangyuan has a future compared to the forbidden palace order. ”

"yes." Zhuang also hurriedly turned his head and persuaded, "This is a good thing." ”

"Good what?" Li Shoutian said in a cold voice.

The lively court quieted down, Li Jingyun was greeting with a few uncles, and he didn't care, and after finishing the ceremony, he knelt down in front of Li Shoutian slowly.

"The son pleads guilty to his father." He said calmly, "I disobeyed my father's arrangement and took the initiative to participate in the scientific expedition, which made my father embarrassed." ”

Only then did Kazuki realize what was going on.

This person actually went to participate in the scientific expedition?!

Li Shoutian's chest rose and fell, and his eyebrows were angry: "Do you still have this father of mine in your eyes!" Tell people good things, if you don't go, you won't go, let others think of my Li family? The wings are stiff, thinking that you can enter this door to show off your might? ”

"My son didn't have that idea." Li Jingyun didn't raise his head, and said very calmly, "I was going to go to work, but on the way, I heard people break their mouths, saying that my Li family's sons and daughters are not promising, one has been at the border for a few years and cannot return to the court, and the other relies on Zuyin to live on an errand, which is really not as good as the generation." ”

"It's okay for the younger generation to be broken, but it's ugly to say, and the general's mansion has no face, so my son changed his route to the examination room to have a look."

"I thought that the martial arts test was strict, there were many masters, and my son was just going to see it for a long time, but who expected that there were few people who could see it, and my son was detained to the end, and he could only go back to his house today to tell his father."

He stood up and bowed again: "Please also ask my father for forgiveness." ”

said it decently, and it can be summed up in one sentence: they are too weak, and I will not go back to the forbidden palace casually.

Li Shoutian slapped the low table, trembling with anger.

The uncles and aunts hurriedly came up to persuade them, poured tea and handed water, and said one after another: "Jing Yun said it, it's not intentional disobedience, who let you teach well, he has the ability?" ”

"Third brother, don't be angry, if we can produce such a son in these courtyards, it will really be worthy of the ancestors."

"The child has been taking the exam for more than half a month, look, he is too tired to clean up, let him rest, let's discuss and discuss, and set up a flowing seat."

Li Shoutian raised his eyebrows and glared: "This is not a filial son, and you still set up a banquet for him?" ”

"If you want to put it, you have to put it up, my Li family hasn't had a champion yet!"

The Zhuang family gave Hua Yue a look, and Hua Yue understood, and took advantage of the chaos to take Li Jingyun out.

The house was full of maids and women running around Zhang Luo, and the two of them chose a secluded path to walk, and no one spoke.

Li Jingyun felt a little wrong as he walked, looked at the person next to him out of the corner of his eye, and coughed lightly to find words: "Will my father lock me up again?" ”

Hua Yue shook her head expressionlessly: "No, don't look at the general's table smashing loudly, you won the top spot, he is happier than anyone else." ”

Nodding suddenly, he smiled: "What about you, are you happy?" ”

The embroidered shoes stopped on the bluestone slab, and Hua Yue turned around and looked up at him, her eyes were dark.

"You have already thought about going to the scientific expedition."

With a chuckle in his heart, Li Jingyun secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly put on the innocent appearance of Fang Caitang: "Where can I be, that is, I will go halfway ......"

"The roster needs to be submitted to the training ground a few days in advance." She interrupted him with a smile, her smile not reaching the bottom of her eyes, "When the scientific expedition began, you were still talking to your concubine about going to work. ”

"That's the only one who needs to submit the roster, who is you? The son of the General's Mansion. Li Jingyun said confidently, "It is Qin Sheng who is in charge of the roster, and it is not easy for him to add his master's name?" ”

Kazuki turned around and left.

"Bah-" He hurriedly pulled the person down, his eyebrows softened, and he said very embarrassedly, "Why are you better than my father." ”

With a ball of anger in her chest, Hua Yue said coldly: "This is not the first time that he has been calculated by Childe. ”

It's over, is this to be counted together with the old and new accounts?

Li Jingyun took a light breath, hugged her into his arms and coaxed softly: "I really didn't mean to hide it from you, if I don't do well in the exam, I don't want to lose this person." You see, the martial arts test is not a simple matter, there are no new injuries on the master's body, from yesterday evening to now, the master has not closed his eyes, and he wants to come back and confess. ”

"Accuse?" She sneered, "The rules of the third master have always been to deceive first, and if you can't deceive and then admit your mistakes, how can you accuse as soon as you come up." ”

I know him well, hey.

Li Jingyun was happy for a moment, and then turned into a sad face: "Why do you only care about this, you don't care that your master hasn't closed his eyes for a day and a night." ”

The cheeks bulged, and Hanayue took him back to the east courtyard with his hand, took water and cleaned his face, and then pressed him into the bed with a quilt.

"Childe has a good rest." She bowed her head and saluted, "The concubine went to see the vestibule." ”

With that, he got up and walked away without hesitation.

The door closed with a "snap", and Li Jingyun pinched the quilt and was stunned.

He was still a sweet and soft puppy when he left, and how did he become a vicious dog with bared teeth when he came back?

Winning the championship in the martial arts test is one thing that Li Jingyun has been planning for a long time, and although he can have a lot of money in the market, he has always relied on less. The official position that the prince sought for him was confined, and the loose order arranged by Li Shoutian for him was not free, and what he wanted was still suitable for him to get by himself.

was really sleepy, Li Jingyun didn't have time to think about it, and planned to close his eyes first to regain some energy, and then talk to her.

The top names of civil and military affairs were announced on this day, and Zhou Heshuo looked up from a pile of miscellaneous things and heard the report from the Li Mansion.

"This Li Sangongzi is also capable." The subordinate official gossiped with him, "In the past few years of martial arts tests, there was a person who had an eye for the flowers, but this time, those few were seriously injured after fighting him and couldn't get out of bed, and he was the only one to go to the palace test." When His Majesty saw him, Long Yan was very happy, and he rewarded a lot of things in the palace, and he must have entrusted him with important responsibilities in the future. ”

Zhou Heshuo snorted: "In the end, it is the person that this palace values." ”

But after a while, he was a little displeased: "This matter, Jing Yun didn't come to the palace in advance. ”

"It's not just Your Highness, even General Li doesn't know, there has been a lot of trouble in the house for a while." The subordinate official shook his head, "The third prince is a loner, and few people have always known what he is thinking, but it's okay, if he has an official position, it will be a good thing for His Highness." ”

If Li Jingyun accepted the official position he gave him, it would naturally be a good thing for him, but he didn't.

Zhou Heshuo squinted, remembering Qifenglou a long time ago, the man leaned on the drizzly flower window, turned the jade fan and smiled with him: "I'm used to being casual, where can I suffer in the training ground?" There is also a second brother at home who is loyal to the country, and I hide behind him, and there are always two points to steal. ”

Stealing the leisure became the champion appointed by the palace.

His brows tightened slightly, and Zhou Heshuo lowered his eyes and said, "This palace should also go and send a congratulatory gift." ”
