Thousands of miles away, on the day of the June furnace, a border town in the south, from time to time, caravans from all over the world to stop, or rest, or trade.

A group of people came from the city, and what was striking was that this group of people was wrapped in cotton cloth on their heads, leaving only a pair of eyes.

Everyone was not curious about the caravan with only a pair of eyes exposed, but they were curious about what goods the other party was carrying, but the other party seemed to be traveling in a light car.

The other merchants were cart after cart, but this one was the only one who had a few carriages, but the horses under each of them were very vigorous.

Could it be that this pedestrian is a horse merchant?

After turning a few corners, the group stopped in front of a courtyard, and immediately someone stepped forward to welcome the group inside.

The owner of the courtyard, a thin old man, stood by the door and waited for the people below to bring in the guests.

Before the person arrived, he felt a majestic momentum, instinctively tensed his muscles, and subconsciously prepared to meet the enemy.

The person who came was very tall, with very wide shoulders, and a cold and solemn body on his body, which made people's hearts chill.

The guest and host sat facing each other, and they probably knew that the other party did not like to be polite, and both of them did not greet each other and went directly to the topic.

"Thanks to Xu Shangshu, all the way, we can reach the border so quickly, and when the day comes, Xu Shangshu will be ambitious, please don't forget that the promise made to me at the beginning, in the final analysis, we are also Weng's son-in-law."

The tall man's voice was low and strange, as if his throat had been injured.

The old man opposite, Uncle Xu, who was preparing military funds outside, stroked his beard and said with a smile,

"Murong Hui, our interests are the same, as for Weng's son-in-law, then there is no need."

Murong Hui ripped off the cloth wrapped around his face and smiled.

"Originally, I, Xu Ye, am a person who does what I say, you want to design Murong Han, and I will also contribute to you, but I didn't expect that you were careless, self-destructing your future, and being seen by the little girl of the Jiang family."

"I can help you privately lure away the court and Murong Han's pursuers, I have already done my duty to you, do you still have the face to make a promise to me?"

Old Uncle Xu's face suddenly became gloomy, staring at Murong Hui opposite.

Murong Hui's expression did not move, and he still smiled, "I don't know why Xu Shangshu said this, forgive me for being stupid, please make it clear." ”

"Murong Hui, don't pretend in front of the old man." Old Uncle Xu suddenly let out a low snort.

"My granddaughter, the wound on her face was good before the event, but that day you shot her off the horse in order to confuse the public, and now she is no longer visible.

Until now, I haven't been able to talk about good people. ”

"Doesn't this have anything to do with you?" He sneered.

"Your treacherous and forbearance are rare in my Xu Ye's life, originally I still admired you, but I didn't expect that you would have a one-night affair with my daughter and let her give birth to two children."

"Originally, we could still join forces to do something big, but unfortunately, you don't know what to do, first my daughter, then my granddaughter, it's too hateful!"

"Although you are treacherous, you are still tender when you want to hide it from me in front of me. Don't say that you hurt my granddaughter, even if you moved a dog of my Xu family, I can't tolerate you. ”

"I asked people to lead you to the border, I have already repaid your love, and when I see you today, I will make it clear to you, lest you think you are smart, the first in the world, and you can play with the emperor and others in the capital, and you can also play with me Xu Ye in the palm of your hand."

"You remember, we're already indebted. From now on, what are you, don't blame me for Xu Ye's words and untrustworthiness, turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

Old Uncle Xu glanced at Murong Hui in disgust and picked up the tea cup on the table.

It means to send off a guest.

Murong Hui narrowed his eyes, his expression still indifferent.

"Xu Shangshu, isn't the reason why you let people accept me is that you are afraid that I will confess you."

"Don't worry, even if it's for Xu Chan, I won't betray you, although she doesn't like me, and she has a night with me, it's also to take revenge on Jiang Chong.

But I will still rot the agreement between you and me, don't worry, even if I die, no one will know, I have long been linked to you.

And what you've done over the years, I won't say. ”

Old Uncle Xu raised his head and snorted, "Murong Hui, you are the leader in death, and you dare to threaten me?" Amusing. ”

"The people here can make you die a hundred times."

Murong would stare at Old Uncle Xu.

"Xu Shangshu, what you have transported from Nanyan for so many years, do you think no one knows? That's just a cover I helped you cover. ”

"Once I lose power, do you say, will Murong Han give you convenience? Or is it the consent of His Majesty the Emperor who is leaving the East? ”

Murong Hui looked at Old Uncle Xu's face that was gradually reddening, and smiled slightly.

"Xu Shangshu, you said, once someone knows that the things they rely on for survival are harmful, do you say, will they still turn a blind eye?

What should happen to you, a scholar who is affectionate and righteous, and who is very popular? ”

"What's more, you have been expelled from the capital by His Majesty the Emperor now, right? Tsk, you're a little older than the last time we met. ”

"Be careful that the cause has not been, and you will be the first to ......"

Murong Hui slowly folded the face towel he took off neatly and laughed slowly.

"My Murong family is orthodox in the Central Plains, if it wasn't for the founding emperor of the Dongli Dynasty, how could there be a Southern Yan Kingdom?"

"My brother has forgotten the hatred of the country and the family, but will I Murong forget, this prosperity of the Central Plains will one day be owned by my Murong Club."

"If you can keep your promise, then why can't you do what you want?"

"Otherwise, even if I Murong Hui can't return to the Central Plains, your Xu family can't imagine that there will be a good life in Dongli."

Old Uncle Xu was furious, his eyes bulged, the tea bowl in his hand was pinched in his hand, and the tea in the bowl shook out and sprinkled his hand, unaware.

Murong Hui smiled at the corner of his lips and sneered.

Halfway through, Old Uncle Xu suddenly burst out laughing, "It's just a joke, Murong Hui, sure enough, you have been able to endure it so far, and you are indeed a character."

My daughter chose you to be a romantic affair overnight, and it is not in vain that she has been a widow for a lifetime, you say that we are Weng sons-in-law, but it is also correct, in the future, you and I still have many opportunities to cooperate.

Now that you are here, you will be Nanyan in the past, and when the time comes, you can jump up, and at that time, Murong Han can only become your subordinate minister. ”

Murong Hui smiled, "Thanks to Shangshu Jiyan, I have to wait here for a day to meet the other people, and please Shangshu not be too troublesome." ”

Old Uncle Xu nodded, and suddenly said, "I also have a person here, I think you should be interested." ”

Murong Hui, "Oh? I don't know who it is? ”

Old Uncle Xu smiled and high-fived, "Don't invite the girl out yet." ”

There was a commotion behind the curtain.

Murong Hui was slightly stunned, and immediately got up to greet him, but when he got up, he stopped, turned around and stared straight at Old Uncle Xu, his eyes slowly darkening.

Old Uncle Xu was unimpressed, glanced at the woman standing by the curtain, and said with a smile,

"Don't you think this girl is a little similar to Chan'er? She is a side branch of my Xu family, my daughter has now gone to Elysium, it is really difficult to resurrect after death, this woman is sent to the prince to relieve the pain of lovesickness. ”

Murong Hui was slightly stunned, "Xu Shangshu, don't you think you're too dirty like this?" I, Murong Hui, am also a dirty person, but I wouldn't do such a thing.

You are defiling Xu Chan! ”

The last one can be said to be an angry reprimand.

Uncle Xu waved his hand and asked people to take the woman down, he was a temptation, men are inferior, and what they can't get is the best.

Murong Hui thought about his daughter for a lifetime, he didn't know that Chan'er was the daughter of the Xu family, and he was looking for it all over the world, but after knowing that the woman who was romantic that night was Chan'er, Chan'er had returned to the underworld, and she could only regret it.

If there is a person who is similar to Chan'er, it is always good for you to comfort yourself.

Unexpectedly, this Murong Hui is still an infatuated species!

His mind turned repeatedly, and Old Uncle Xu had returned to normal, refilling his cup with water, "It's the old man who thinks badly, please forgive me!" ”

Murong would snort coldly, and then talk to Old Uncle Xu about the cooperation between the two.

The next morning, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, and several mothers-in-law got out of a carriage, brought down a stool, the curtain was lifted, and a girl with a hat stepped down from the carriage.

The door of the other courtyard had already received the news that someone would come, but I didn't expect it to be a girl.

The girl silently followed Menzi into the courtyard, through the corridor, and finally to the main hall.

In the main hall, Old Uncle Xu and Murong Hui were already waiting, and when they saw the girl coming in, Murong Hui stared at the girl tightly with excitement in his eyes.

Through the hat, the girl saw Uncle Xu, whose hands were covered by sleeves, holding them tightly, and her nails were embedded in the flesh, but she still didn't feel pain.

In his eyes, hatred swelled.

"You are Zhu'er......" Murong Hui's hands trembled slightly, and he wanted to go up and hug the girl, but he was gently dodged by the girl, and his hands froze there.

The girl raised her hand to untie the hat and belt, and then took it off, and a thin face appeared in front of everyone.

It was Zhu'er, who was supposed to go to Guangyang Mansion to reunite with Jiang Ju, whose originally round and delicate face became thin and fair-skinned because of the hibiscus cream, and the blood vessels on her head were faintly visible.

Rao is like this, Murong Hui still saw the young Xu family from her face at once, and he felt a sadness in his heart, after all, because he came too late, the Xu family would be killed.

Without the cover of the hat, Zhu'er cleaned up the hatred on her face, my sister said, hate a person, don't show it on your face all the time, as long as you don't forget it in your heart.

One day, she will avenge her mother by slaying her enemies.

She glanced at Murong Hui lightly and lowered her eyes.

She was going to see Ju'er, but as soon as she arrived at the boundary of Guangyang Mansion, she was attacked by robbers, and those who guarded her died, she thought she would be killed by robbers, but she didn't expect to open her eyes again and be rescued.

The people who rescued her were the robbers, and the funny thing was that these people actually said that they were sent by her own father.

After that, she was sent to a village where she could not go out, describing house arrest.

However, there are also many people who come to teach her court etiquette and say some Nanyan customs,

Only then did she know that the unusual father that her mother said was actually the prince of Nanyan.

When I sneaked into Dongli to investigate intelligence, I had a one-night affair with my mother, and I said that I wanted to propose, but my mother refused.

His mother didn't tell him his true identity, and his father searched for a long time before he learned his mother's true identity and the existence of their siblings not long ago.

Zhu'er felt sarcastic in her heart, she is from Dongli, why do she want to recognize a man from Nanyan as her father?

What's more, she has an older sister and a younger brother...... There's no need for another father.

However, this person named Murong Hui is with his grandfather, so they should be embarrassed to hook up together.

She pursed her lips, raised her head and smiled shyly at Murong Hui, and gently opened her lips, "Zhu'er, I've seen Daddy." ”

If she wants to kill Xu Lao Thief, she always needs manpower, this cheap father, it doesn't hurt to admit it.

……

Two years later.

In the capital, Jiang Xuan, who was taking a nap, woke up from his dream.

She sat on the edge of the bed sweating, her mind clouded, she hadn't had nightmares in a long time since she regained her memory.

Outside, Biwan came in, and saw her propped up on the edge of the bed with one hand, her hair was soaked with sweat, and she brought water in to wash Jiang Xuan.

"Girl, King Su's Mansion has made a post, invite the girl to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet. This is the first time in so many years that Su Wangfu has held such a banquet. ”

Bi Wan helped to freshen up and talked about the banquet in King Su's Mansion.

For Princess Su, Jiang Xuan has known it for so many years.

I have also heard Mrs. Cui talk about her. I heard that she is a strange woman. For the sake of the common people in the world, she left her husband, daughter, and family members and entered the temple to pray for blessings.

gave birth to a son the year before last, when the Su Wangfu set up a three-day flowing water banquet, the emperor even came to see the brother-in-law in person, at that time, she was still keeping filial piety, and she didn't see the grand occasion at that time, but she just listened to others.

The emperor was present in person, which shows how much King Su is valued, and it is also that the queen's mother family has always been for the country and the people, can it not be taken seriously?

The house has been removed this year, and the door that has been closed for three years is now reopened, and it has begun to go to various banquets and exchanges.

The rare chrysanthemum appreciation party in Suwangfu is always going to go.

Before the chrysanthemum appreciation party in Suwang's Mansion began, the second wife sent a booklet over, on which all the important people in Beijing were written, so that Jiang Xuan could be familiar with it first, and it would be easy to deal with it when the time came.

The next day, it was time to go to the chrysanthemum party, on this day, the women of the Jiang family got up very early, and the girls were well-trained, picking up the things that had been prepared the night before, and helping Jiang Xuan dress up.

After breakfast, I got into the carriage and went to Suwang's Mansion.

The carriage walked for more than half an hour, and finally stopped at the second gate, and the second wife took everyone down, and a maid led them inside.

Jiang Xuan followed behind the second wife, looking at the grass and trees around, although it was a powerful family, the palace was carved and painted, exquisite and magnificent, but there was no trace of transgression, and it seemed that it would not make people feel oppressive.

It wasn't until they reached the back garden that the maids retreated.

The back garden of Suwangfu is very open, and at this time the autumn is strong, and a high chrysanthemum platform is set up.

Postures, chrysanthemums of different colors are placed on the path, and many ladies and girls of the family are already playing in it.

The second lady knew some ladies and took them up to talk.

Jiang Xuan's marriage has been decided, but Jiang Xuan is now in his twenties, although it is said that there is the scenery of Lin Yi's one hundred and eighty dowry back then, but in the end, there is no will in the palace now.

The Empress Dowager rarely summoned Jiang Xuan into the palace to speak.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Xuan's body, and they all looked at it.

At this time, a voice behind him smiled, "But the female dependents of the Zhenbei General's Mansion are here?" ”

Jiang Xuan turned around when he heard the voice, only to see that it was a middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes and with a graceful posture.

When everyone saw this, they saluted one after another, calling them 'princess'.

This is about Princess Su.

The second wife and the third wife took the two of them to salute the lord of Jingning County.

"These two girls are your girls?" The county lord of Jingning asked everyone to look at Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xuan who were standing behind the second wife.

"Both of them are very good-looking, this must be a big girl, I have never seen it before, but now that I see it, it is really a good match for the emperor."

This is what the county lord of Jingning dares to say, whether it is from Gu Shi'an or from the county lord of Jingning himself, it is Gao Linyi's generation.

This look is clearly full of love.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward to curtsia to the county lord of Jingning, "I've seen the princess." ”

The county lord of Jingning pulled her, otherwise she saluted herself, "It's fun today, there are still some treasures in my flower room, which have not been put out, I will let you take you to see them." ”

Jiang Xuan was suspicious, since it was a treasure, why didn't you let everyone go and see it together? Dangdang let her go alone?

However, not everyone can guess the thoughts of the superiors, Jiang Xuan followed the servant woman pointed by the county lord of Jingning to the flower room.

"Isn't this Miss Jiang? How can any cat or dog come to the flower viewing party in Suwangfu? ”

Halfway through, a girl with a girl, surrounded by everyone, came over, she wore a half-section butterfly mask on her face, and the exposed half of her face looked exquisite, plus the butterfly mask, it made people feel that it was also a different kind of beauty.

She set her eyes on Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan looked back, and heard that Xu Yunke hurt his face at the horse meeting that day, but he didn't expect it to be true.

If she hadn't let her, she wouldn't have worn a half-butterfly mask.

Seeing her swagger like this, it was just because Uncle Xu had been preparing military funds abroad for the past two years, and the construction of Tuntian had a very good effect, and he had done a lot of things for the imperial court, and the emperor had just commended him some time ago.

is really a person who has attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and even Xu Yunke has come out to show off his might.

Jiang Xuan chuckled, "Miss Xu, when it comes to cats and dogs, I don't know who is not as good as cats and dogs, and I only dare to go out to meet people with masks." ”

Xu Yunke's willow eyebrows were upside down, this person dared to mock herself, but who made her really wear a mask to go out?

Without this mask, she could only shrink into the house and dare not go out for half a step.

Her face didn't look good, today she heard that King Su's Mansion held a chrysanthemum appreciation party, and many people were invited to the banquet, and King Huai'an was also invited.

She pestered Mrs. Xu for a long time before agreeing to take her out.

I wanted to disgust Jiang Xuan, but I didn't expect to be disgusted.

"Miss Jiang, I heard that your family has been removed, why don't you see the emperor's decree to give you to the emperor?

Is it because you are old and yellow, so the emperor doesn't want it? ”

She covered her mouth and laughed, "If no one wants it, I can ask my mother to tell you about her relatives for the sake of my dead aunt." ”

"A better person, you don't have to think about it, it's okay to fill the house, concubines and the like."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, she knew in her heart that what she could be criticized for now was that she was old and not married yet.

She really didn't want to tell others that there was a man who wanted to marry her back like an old house was on fire, but she dragged it out for three years.

She can let herself delay for three years before getting married, and she is still afraid of some rumors from these people?

She said calmly,

"Miss Xu, thank you for your kindness, if Lingtang really has such a wide range of contacts, I think it should be used on you, and resources should not be wasted.

After all, girl, you are also spending your time at home now.

Although I am older, but it is not in vain, it is for my grandmother to keep filial piety to become like this, I can bear a 'filial daughter', I don't know what a girl can say? ”

The servant woman who led the way in the Su Wangfu played the two back and forth, and she didn't want the two to make trouble, so she said to Jiang Xuan respectfully,

"Miss Jiang, the flower room is not far away, if you have a good word with Miss Xu, then the slave will take you over."

Jiang Xuan didn't want to say much to Xu Yunke, nodded at the servant woman, and followed her.

Xu Yunke didn't expect Jiang Xuan to turn around and leave, so he stepped forward to stop her, "Don't go, we haven't finished talking yet." ”

Jiang Xuan is simply inexplicable, they are not handkerchiefs, what else is there to say?

Or does Xu Yunke have a masochistic physique, so she must be sneered?

The servant woman of King Su's Mansion said, "Miss Xu, Mrs. Xu is looking at the flowers in front, if you want to find her, you can go to the front yard, Miss Jiang still has something to do here, please don't block the way." ”

This servant woman is already a good voice, although she is a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the Xu family is not an ordinary family.

Xu Yunke saw that the servant's face was not very good-looking, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking, but he didn't walk away.

Jiang Xuan bypassed her and followed the servant woman to the flower room.

"Girl, this is it, the slave and maid still have things, you watch here first, and the slave and maid will come and take you back."

The servant woman took Jiang Xuan to the door of the flower room, and without waiting for Jiang Xuan to say anything, she took her leave and left.

Jiang Xuan looked at the footsteps of the servant woman leaving in a hurry, and then frowned at the flower room, she squeezed her hand, slowly pushed the door of the flower room, and walked in, and saw a man in a blue robe sitting at the table in the middle.

Hearing the door pushing, he looked up at himself with a smile on his face and motioned for her to come over.

In fact, when he came, Jiang Xuan felt weird, but he didn't expect that he was waiting for him here.

No wonder the servant left in a hurry.

It seemed that she hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she sat down on the other side and said slightly, "Aren't you very busy?" ”

In the last letter, he also said that he was very busy.

Lin Yi smiled 'um', poured her a cup of tea, and pushed it over.

"Why did you come to the palace? Why did you come to me? Jiang Xuan took a sip of tea and asked.

Lin Yi knocked on the table, "Naturally, I was looking for you to discuss family affairs, your family has been removed, and you have played enough, we should always sum up the matter of getting married." ”

"What's there to add up to this." Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, this person secretly came to the palace to find her, just for this?

Could it be that the flower party of King Su's Mansion is blooming for this?

She paused and said, "Isn't it just getting married, what is there to sum up." ”

She said the same thing as three years ago, she said it neatly, Lin Yi smiled, "It's been three years, you are as neat as before." ”

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but blush a little when he heard this, why was he always like this.

Lin Yi looked at her fixedly and said, "I know that your grandmother died at a good time, and I also know why you let her die at that time."

It was up to you before, but this time, don't make anything willful. ”

Running away, designing filial piety, these things can be done, he is really afraid that she will do something else and drag the marriage period down.

Jiang Xuan thought about it and said seriously, "Otherwise, let's just do it, don't get married, what you want is me anyway, I'll give it to you." ”

Lin Yi squirted out a mouthful of tea, pointed at her with his finger, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean, but she didn't expect her to say this, what is the little girl's mind thinking?

In the end, he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her hair, as if to soothe a child, "You just torture me." ”

Jiang Xuan looked around.

He withdrew his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, there are no girls here." ”

"Why do you say such things when you are afraid of being seen? Give me you as a person. ”

He saw that Jiang Xuan seemed to want to say something, so he bluffed, "What do you think about all day?" It seems that the wedding date is going to be soon, and I have to put you under my nose, otherwise, I don't know what you will do. ”

Well, then she won't talk about it.
