Two years later, on the eighth day of the fourth month, on this day, the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, and the city of Gusu was full of flowers, and it was full of spring.

He Yu was standing at the gate of the county governor's mansion, directing the servants to clean up the courtyard and put up lights.

Heyu is no longer the childish boy he was at the beginning, and now he is mature and capable, and he is confident in everything. In recent years, Heyu has experienced a lot of training, he painstakingly ran the incense factory, and in a few years, the incense factory has developed into a major industry in Gusu, and even became an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court. In order to reward and give, King Wu specially named him the commander of Gusu City, and ordered him to manage the market trading and government-run industry and commerce in Gusu City.

Today, Heyu is in a very good mood, he is wearing a new brocade clothes, combing his hair exquisitely, he wants to celebrate the seventeenth birthday of his most beloved sister, of course, there is a more important point, that is, the current general of the Zhenguo - Zhang Xun, to come to the door today.

Near the outskirts of Gusu, the former courtyard is still the same, the old brick wall knife marks and arrow holes are still faintly visible, and a large cluster of blooming peach branches pokes out from the mossy green tiles. It is a quiet place, which is completely different from the lively atmosphere of the county governor's mansion.

Gong Wanran has lived here alone for more than two years, and although he has become the secretary of the imperial court and is responsible for managing the country's financial affairs, he has never been reluctant to leave this courtyard.

At this moment, a group of men and horses disturbed the peace of the place, and a line of soldiers opened the way in front, and two black horses pulled a splendid carriage and stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard. The groom jumped out of the car, set up a footstool in front of the wheels, and then respectfully said inside, "General, we are here." ”

Zhang Xun lifted the curtain on the car door, slowly stepped out of the carriage, he raised his head, looked at this familiar and unfamiliar courtyard, and couldn't help sighing, after Hana's accident, he never came back to live.

"Brother Gonghui, are you there?" Zhang Xun knocked on the door.

In a moment, Gong Hui suddenly opened the courtyard door.

"Here, Xiao Xun."

"Yes, Brother Gonghui."

"Come in and sit."

"Okay."

Zhang Xun walked into the courtyard, looked around at the familiar scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then he stood under the peach tree and stopped for a long time.

"This year's peach blossoms are exceptionally abundant." Zhang Xun sighed.

"yes, I'll send you some when it gets the results."

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "No need, there are supplies in the house." ”

"Well, forget it."

"Brother Gonghui, are you still not going to move out? With your status and status, it's just too inappropriate to live here. ”

"Nope." Gong Wanran smiled and shook his head, "It's quiet here, it's good, and besides, there are a lot of rooms...... Enough is enough. ”

Zhang Xun didn't say anything, just picked up a piece of peach blossom from the stone table and looked at it in his hand.

Gong Wanran took a cup of flower tea and asked, "Are the bride prices ready?" ”

"Take them all."

"Well, that's good." Gong Huiran helped Zhang Xun sort out his collar, and then turned sideways to help Zhang Xun sort out the clothes on his back.

Zhang Xun straightened up, so that Gong Wanran could help him tidy up, and then said: "Recently, we have been busy with business, except in the court, we haven't seen each other for a month. ”

"yes, it's been almost a month."

Zhang Xun bit his lip, a little embarrassed, "I'll come to see you more in the future, you're really cold here." ”

"Hehe, it's good to be cold, I still like a quieter environment."

Zhang Xun shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at Gong Hui Ran, and asked, "Brother Gong Hui, is there still no one you like?" I've heard that the little princess is very fond of her brother. ”

Gong Wanran smiled slightly and shook his head, "I'm much older than the princess, so I don't deserve it." ”

"Where? I heard that the little princess doesn't marry her brother! ”

"It's just a joke that the ministers make fun of me, do you believe that?"

"Brother Gonghui, but you should also find someone to start a family, right?"

"When you are just in the beginning, you don't need to be in a hurry."

"It's already been established, and you're not in a hurry?" Zhang Xun sneered.

Gong Huiran smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Brother Gonghui, tonight I will have a banquet in Zuiliu Building, at that time, Lord County Lieutenant and Heyu will come, we haven't gathered for a long time, you can come too."

"I'm not going." Gong Wanran shook his head and said, "There are still some things to do at night. ”

"What can happen at night? On such an important day, how could Brother Gonghui not go? ”

Gong Huiran put his hands on Zhang Xun's shoulders, looked at Zhang Xun, and said with relief: "Brother is sincerely happy for you, the happiness between you and Shuangdi is my greatest happiness, but I do have some things tonight, and tonight's banquet can be regarded as a gathering between you and Shuangdi's family, if I go, it will be somewhat inappropriate." ”

Zhang Xun saw that Gonghui was resolute, so he no longer insisted, nodded and said: "Okay, it's just that we haven't been together for a long time, and in time for the good days of me and Shuangdi, I really want to have a good drink and chat with Brother Gonghui." ”

Gong Wanran patted Zhang Xun and said with a smile: "That's it, tomorrow you bring Shuang Tu and Heyu to me, and the four of us will have a good get-together." ”

Zhang Xun suddenly smiled, "Okay! Deal! ”

After Zhang Xun said goodbye to Gong Wanran, he came to the county governor's mansion, and at this time, He Yu had already waited in front of the mansion to greet him.

The soldiers who led the way lined up in front of the mansion gate, and the two black horses pulled the carriage to the front of the mansion gate and stopped, such a scene was very magnificent, Zhang Xun stepped out of the carriage, and He Yu immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "He Yu welcomes the general!" ”

Zhang Xun stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Heyu, and said with a smile: "Between our brothers, why are you so formal?" ”

"It's all due diligence!" He Yuyi asked, "General, please!" ”

"Please!"

After Zhang Xun ordered someone to hand over the gifts, he followed He Yu to the main hall, and Su Ming was waiting for Zhang Xun.

"General! The lower officials are polite! Yu Suming greeted him in front of the main hall and saluted Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun hurriedly replied: "Lord County Lieutenant, it is really rude for the younger generation to visit in the future for a long time. ”

"Hey, the general is busy with official business, so it's really frustrating to say that the lower officials, come, general, please take a seat." Yu Suming saluted again and motioned for Zhang Xun to sit on the main seat.

Zhang Xun waved his hand and said: "There are juniors below, how can there be any reason to dominate the guests?" No, no. ”

"The general doesn't have to be humble, please!"

Although Zhang Xun still regarded himself as a junior in his heart, and he had never been arrogant because of his high position, seeing that Su Ming was so insistent, he was not allowed to shirk at all, so he had to sit in the main seat with a little embarrassment.

The three of them sat down, and after some greetings, Zhang Xun saluted respectfully and said: "The juniors can have today's results, thanks to the support of the county captain!" ”

Yu Suming returned the salute, "The general's great military exploits deserve this achievement." ”

"At that time, the three of us brothers came to Gusu City in this season, when we were young, ignorant and careless, the years were in a trance, and we didn't realize that it was six years."

Seeing that Zhang Xun was thoughtful, Su Ming said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to hesitate about the past, now the general is in his prime and famous, but it is just the time to talk about marriage." ”

Zhang Xun also smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, General Ben came this time to propose marriage to Lord County Lieutenant, I and Shuang Di have long been in love, love each other, and hope that Lord County Lieutenant will agree." ”

Yu Suming smiled happily: "Hehe, I have always known the relationship between the general and the little girl, if the general doesn't dislike the little girl, I naturally can't ask for it!" How could you not agree? ”

Zhang Xun's heart bloomed, and he saluted: "Lord Xie Junwei is complete!" ”

He Yu also said happily: "Brother Xiao Xun is finally going to start a family with my sister!" Haha, we'll be a family from now on! ”

"Yes! Family! ”

Juan Suming was also very happy, "Today happens to be the seventeenth birthday of the little girl, and I caught up with the general to come to propose, hehe, it can be described as double happiness!" Meddlesome! Meddlesome! ”

Zhang Xun was in a good mood, "Lord County Lieutenant, I have booked a banquet in Zuiliu Building, we must have a good time today, and if we don't get drunk, we won't return!" ”

"Good! It's just that...... Since you don't get drunk and don't go home, why don't you get together at home? If it's outside, it's always a little inconvenient. Yu Suming responded.

"Well...... Zhang Xun nodded and said, "It's okay, then it's arranged by Lord Lao Junwei." ”

"Don't worry! I specially prepared the general's favorite silk wine, hehe, I hope the general can have fun tonight! ”

"Definitely! Oh, by the way, Lord Lieutenant, I haven't seen Frost Yet, I want to give her some gifts in person, I wonder if she can be in the mansion at this time? ”

"Hehe, the little girl knows that the general is coming, and she has been waiting for the boudoir!"

Zhang Xun came to the back garden of the county governor's mansion, the back garden was full of bright flowers, purple and red, extraordinarily enchanting, stepping into the flowers, the air was full of fragrance, flowers and tender grass in the spring breeze to make an intoxicating fragrance, Zhang Xun suddenly felt relaxed and happy, fluttering, and was intoxicated in this full fragrance.

"Brother Xiao Xun."

This "brother", sweet and shy, called Zhang Xun's heart rippled, he looked into the depths of the flowers, where he saw the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Dressed in a light pink curly skirt, lined with a white Luo skirt, crimson continuation, light purple hook edge, and a gold-inlaid belt tied around the waist of the willow, it is said that the woman is as beautiful as a flower, but at this time, in Zhang Xun's view, the frost is far better than this brocade flower.

Zhang Xun slowly walked to the side of Shuangdi, only to see her thick black hair carefully coiled up, tied behind her head, E'e Yun bun is dotted with three spikes of swaying, and the two ends of her sideburns are decorated with pearls and jade Jinhua, she bowed her head slightly, her beautiful face is light and elegant, her ruddy lips are gently bitten, her cheeks are crimson, Yan Yanwan'er, her deep love is quietly revealed, and it is difficult to hide a little immature shyness.

Zhang Xun couldn't take his eyes off it, looking at his most beloved woman, with a happy smile on his face, he secretly sighed that there is such a beautiful person in the world, and he will have such a good fortune to be able to spend his life with her.

Shuang Di was even more embarrassed by Zhang Xun's staring, and said shyly: "Brother Xiao Xun...... Why do you keep looking at me? ”

"Xiaoshuang, you are so beautiful." Zhang Xun was intoxicated.

"Nasty." Shuang Di blushed and patted Zhang Xun gently, "Brother Xiao Xun is happy with me......"

Zhang Xun stroked Shuangdi's hair and smiled slightly: "Really, Xiaoshuang, you are so beautiful, I can't wait to marry you!" ”

"Nasty."

"I have already proposed to the county lieutenant, and when I wait for an auspicious day of the zodiac, I will marry you!"

"Hmm." Frost nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the two sat next to each other in the garden, admiring the flowers and talking.

Not far away, Juan Suming's eyes were cold and gloomy, staring at the happy backs of the two, and said to Ji Wu beside him: "Be sure to do a good job of defense at night, remember!" Pitchers have ears! ”

"Whoa!" Ji Wu answered.
