The moonlight is still bright tonight, and the Zhanghe River is sparkling and beautiful.

Hao Zhao selected twenty of the recruits who could ride horses, all of them put on military uniforms, and escorted Yuan Mai back to Yecheng.

It was the first time that he was hugged by so many people, which made Yuan Mai feel very enjoyable, and he almost laughed out loud several times, so he could only forcibly hold back.

When they arrived at the door, Yuan Mai no longer let Hao Zhao escort them, where did he still have "important things" to do, you follow, how can this son be in the snow?

The security in Yecheng was very good, and Hao Zhao also felt safe, and agreed not to escort Yuan Mai into the city again. But he must be watched by the soldiers before leaving.

Yuan Mai didn't bother to argue with Hao Zhao anymore, and galloped towards the city gate.

At this moment, the city gates have been closed, and pedestrians are not allowed to enter or leave. However, within 30 miles around Yecheng, there are at least dozens of military camps, large and small, which may report military information to the city at any time, so there are soldiers on duty at night in front of the door, and there are waist cards to enter and exit.

Having learned the lesson of going out of the city last night, when Yuan Mai went to Hao Zhao to ask for an official position in the morning, he asked Yuan Shao for a waist card that allowed him to enter and exit the city gate freely, and he entered the city unimpeded in front of the gatekeepers.

Following the location of the day's memory, without wasting too much time, Yuan Mai found the ancestral home of the Zhen family.

He took off the carved bow from his back, hung it on the saddle, and then tied the horse to a poplar tree next to the house, and tidied up his clothes.

I thought it was unknown whether I could open the door, but unexpectedly, as soon as the slap was slapped on the door panel, the door opened with a "squeak".

"Trouble spread the word to your little lady, just say that Yuan Mai wants to see ......"

Yuan Mai coughed, bent down and saluted, holding a jade pendant in his hand.

This jade pendant is a prop bought by Yuan, and it needs to be used as a prop for visiting the door. In this era of "men and women don't kiss", how can you visit a girl for no reason, without a proper reason?

This jade pendant is crystal green and has a first-class color, and you can see that it is a priceless treasure at a glance. This is also the most valuable thing on Yuan Mai's body, which was a token of love given by Yuan Shao when he married his mother Yan, and Yan passed it on to Yuan Mai when he was dying.

Yuan Mai now plans to give it to Zhen Mi, if Zhen Mi accepts it, it will be regarded as receiving a piece of his affection. Of course, you have to be skillful to give it away. In this regard, Yuan Mai is already confident.

"Hee-hee...... Childe is here! ”

A crisp and pleasant voice came into his ears, Yuan Mai hurriedly raised his head, and by the moonlight, he found that it was not a servant or a maid who opened the door, but his own goddess - Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi was wearing a light blue long dress, which looked fairy and fluttering in the moonlight, and she was looking at Yuan Mai with joyful eyes at the moment.

Behind Zhen Mi was a maid of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a dark green skirt, and when she smiled, she showed a pair of small tiger teeth, which was very cute.

"Giggle...... Fortunately, you are here, son, otherwise my little lady would not have to die of disappointment. It's been dark a lot, and the lady has looked at the door seven or eight times......

"Luzhu, don't talk nonsense, let me make tea in the room!"

was teased by the little maid, Zhen Mi couldn't hold it on her face, blushed, made an angry look, and scolded Luzhu into the house.

"The lady just doesn't say it, people are going to enter the house too!"

Lu Zhu grimaced, and suddenly pushed Zhen Mi into Yuan Mai's arms, and then "Gege" smiled and ran into the study quickly.

Seeing the beauty coming to give him a hug, Yuan Mai hurriedly reached out to greet him, and gently supported Zhen Mi's soft arms with both hands, and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Why is this girl so naughty, are you okay?"

Zhen Mi's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly broke away from Yuan Mai's hands, and muttered, "No...... It's okay, this girl is getting more and more rude by me, and she is still messing around with me in front of outsiders, and I don't clean her up when I turn around. ”

Yuan Mai smiled: "I think this green bamboo is quite cute!" ”

Zhen Mi smiled and nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Suddenly, he said indifferently: "It's getting late, what's the matter with the buyer coming to my house?" After a few days...... After a few days...... I'm ......"

Speaking of this, he choked up and couldn't say it anymore, just bit his lip vigorously, and his tears felt irrepressible.

Seeing Zhen Mi like this, how could Yuan Mai not know what she wanted to say, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said in his heart, "Ah Mi, you can rest assured, no matter what, I won't let you marry that man, you are mine." ”

"Huh...... Yesterday in front of the mansion, I greeted you and Brother Ling for a while, and after you left, I picked up this jade pendant on the road, which should have fallen from you, so I came to return it to you. ”

Yuan Maiwan smiled and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi subconsciously took it in her hand and looked at it, only to remember that she had not lost such a thing: "You are mistaken, Ah Mi has not dropped anything, this is not mine." ”

After speaking, he reached out to return it to Yuan.

Yuan Mai didn't answer, stared at Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes, and said with affection: "Since I said it's yours, from now on, it's yours!" ”

Facing Yuan Mai's blazing gaze, how could Zhen Mi not understand what he meant, she was a little flustered in her heart, shook her head and said: "This piece of Pei'er is crystal clear, it looks extraordinary, how dare Ah Mi accept such a valuable gift from his son for no reason...... Besides, Ah Mi doesn't have any gifts to give back......"

Yuan Mai smiled and said in his heart, wouldn't it be the best gift in the world to give you to me.

Of course, this cannot be said, but at least it cannot be said now, and the time has not yet come, but it will give people a sense of frivolity.

"Yesterday I followed my father out of the city to shoot and hunt, and today I wrote a poem on a whim. I have heard for a long time that the Zhen family's Ah Mi lady is a talented girl who can poetry and dance, so you can give me some advice, and it will be a gift from you. ”

Yuan Mai hugged his wrist and unfolded his bubble beauty plan step by step.

Zhen Mi has been studying since she was a child, and she is very accomplished in poetry and songs, and she is also proud of it, and she is very happy to hear Yuan Mai praise her like this.

Pointing to a pavilion in the courtyard, he said: "The son made fun of Ah Mi, he didn't dare to be able to write poetry and dance, but he was just rough and ink." However, Ah Mi admires Childe's talent, and is willing to see Childe's Mobao. ”

I saw that under the moonlight, an octagonal pavilion stood, and there was a round stone table and four stone benches under the pavilion. There are bamboos next to the pavilion and a pond, which are matched together, which is very poetic.

Yuan Mai nodded, happily agreed, and walked to the pavilion side by side with Zhen Mi.

Everyone has their own specialty, and the previous Yuan Mai is no exception. Because of his weak physique since childhood, he felt that it was not a material for martial arts, so Yuan Mai worked calligraphy, and finally said that he was dancing and writing in the house, so he was quite accomplished in calligraphy.

Although the current Yuan Mai is not the previous one, the things in the subconscious are all there, and he can still splash ink. He has long wanted to show his hand in front of people, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity, and today the goddess took the initiative to ask for it.

"By the way, has your brother ever been home?"

Zhen Mi shook his head: "The eldest brother will return to Wu'an in the afternoon to prepare...... Only my third brother and I stayed here. ”

Zhen Mi actually wanted to say that his eldest brother went back to Wu'an to prepare a dowry for himself, but he didn't say it.

Hearing that Zhen Mi's eldest brother was not at home, Yuan Mai breathed a sigh of relief, if this guy was at home and he and his sister fell in love, he would definitely have an opinion, not good, happy and quiet.

At this time, the sound of Huo Huo's sword practice came from the backyard, obviously someone was practicing the sword. However, this yard is not big, and it is not small. The voice was only faintly heard, not particularly clear.

"Oh...... I didn't expect your third brother to look polite and polite, but he turned out to be a prodigy with both civil and military skills. ”

Walking side by side with Zhen Mi, Yuan Mai pricked up his ears with some curiosity and praised him.

Zhen Mi smiled and said with some pride: "Don't look at the appearance of my third brother and a scholar, his biggest hobby is to be a ranger." It's been nearly ten years since I practiced swords in my teens. There are hundreds of heroes and heroes he has befriended, and they all look after my brother. ”

Listening to Zhen Mi's words, Yuan Mai's eyes fell on the pavilion, where more than a dozen white pigeons were roosting.

Looking at the quiet pigeon, Yuan Mai suddenly remembered something, and said in his heart, could it be that Zhen Mi's third brother did this?
