Xie Mulin and Xiao Rui chatted and chatted, and they forgot the time, but others did not forget.

After a while, the shouts of green bananas could be heard in the shade of the willows under the bridge. Xie Mulin followed the prestige and found that Aunt Wu Qiongye, who had just separated not long ago, came at some point, and stood beside Cuijiao, smiling and waving in their direction.

Xiao Rui straightened up in some surprise and muttered in a low voice, "Won't it?" Time passed so quickly? ”

Xie Mulin looked at him curiously: "Aunt Wu is here to call you?" The princess and the county lord have something to ask you for help, right? ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "That's just those trivial things." If the Queen Mother really wants to live in Zizhu Courtyard, my grandson, who has only recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, is just doing his filial piety and currying favor with her old man. The emperor treats the queen mother very filtily, and sometimes the queen mother speaks, and the emperor will listen. My father and princess also hope that the position of my son will be given earlier. Although the emperor will have his own considerations, his father and princess are afraid that they will have long nights and dreams. Although I don't care whether I am a prince or an ordinary county king, or just an idle clan, but the elders are so painstakingly thinking about me, I can't be ignorant! ”

He picked up Xie Mulin's hand and gently pulled her off the bridge: "There is not enough time today, let's just talk about this." In the evening, the princess should set up a small banquet and invite your family. I'm sure I won't be able to talk to you alone and face to face like I am now, but I'll be able to see you a few times. If your family can stay in the garden for two more days, I should be able to rest the day after tomorrow. ”

Xie Mulin sighed: "I'm afraid my mother can't be delayed outside for so long. If my father doesn't come, my mother will definitely not worry about him at home. Besides, there are two old ladies. I reckon she took our siblings to stay in the garden for one night, which was the limit. How could Ming'er go back before the city gate closed? But it doesn't matter, you get down to business first, and when you're done, come home to see me, it's the same. ”

Xiao Rui sighed quietly: "I am now looking forward to the Queen Mother coming to Beiping as soon as possible." When the time comes, I will stay with you every day, do I need to worry about seeing you? ”

Xie Mulin's face flushed slightly, and he also whispered: "Nonsense! Even if you become a parent, you have your own things to do, can you still guard me every day? Manly husband, don't be like a child! ”

Xiao Rui looked back at her deeply, and there seemed to be infinite grief in his eyes, which didn't make Xie Mulin feel soft and pitiful, but couldn't help but want to laugh.

There's no way, Xiao Rui's appearance as a tall and tough young man really doesn't match his resentful expression!

During the eyebrow lawsuit between the two, the person had already walked off the bridge and came to the willow tree by the lake. Cuijiao saw the two of them from afar, and she had been blushing slightly, and she was embarrassed to come over. Aunt Wu smiled very calmly, watching the two stop talking, only then did she stare at the hand held by the two, and then continued to smile and say, "Son, the time is almost up." The princess is afraid that you will forget that you will go to see General Wu in the afternoon to discuss the temporary camp of the Praetorian Guard, so she specially sent me to remind you. ”

Xiao Rui sighed: "Aunt Wu, don't worry, I remember what I should do." Second Sister Xie also persuaded me, saying that it was important to get down to business, when can't you talk about gossip? ”

Xie Mulin was suddenly cued by him, and the roots of his ears were a little hot, and he smiled at Wu Qiongye embarrassedly.

Wu Qiongye smiled and bowed to Xie Mulin: "In the end, it is the girl of the Xie family, who knows books and is courteous, and understands righteousness." The son-in-law can be compared to the future daughter-in-law this time! ”

Xiao Rui was used to joking with her on weekdays, and he didn't see anything outside, and after a few jokes, he turned to Xie Mulin and said, "Then you can go back first." I'll send Xiao Xu over to guide your house in a moment. Xiao Xu followed his mother when he was a child, and once lived in this garden for a while, accompanying the old lady to worship the Buddha, so he is familiar with the road scenery here, at least better than me. With him, I'm not afraid that you will go to the wrong place and not get the best view. ”

Xie Mulin nodded, took off the cloak on his body again, and gave it back to him: "Are you going to the barracks?" It's going to be riding, and I'll give it back to you, remember to put it on. Although the weather is still warm at the moment, it is spring in the north, and it is still a little cool when the wind is strong, but you must not catch a cold! ”

Xiao Rui originally felt that he was physically strong, and he didn't feel cold without a cloak on the bridge, but his fiancée needed this cloak even more, but when he smelled the faint fragrance left on the cloak, he immediately changed his mind, took the cloak with a smile, and put it on with his backhand. The cloak was also filled with the faint incense of Xie Mulin's body, fresh and elegant, as if she was close to him and talking to him. Xiao Rui showed a bright smile and took his fiancée's hand again: "Then take care, I'll leave and see you again in the evening." Only then did he reluctantly let go of his hand and left.

Xie Mulin watched his back disappear behind the shadows of the willow trees, and then he retracted his gaze, and suddenly found that Wu Qiongye had been looking at him with a smile, and couldn't help blushing again, and lowered his head a little shyly.

Wu Qiongye could only feel happy in his heart, happy that Xiao Rui had found a fiancée who could connect with him, so naturally he would not say anything strange. She also reminded Xie Mulin very intimately: "Our son-in-law is disturbing Second Miss Xie for her lunch break, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Xie will take all Young Master Xie and Miss Xie to visit the garden, Second Miss Xie should go back and rest for a while, recuperate your spirits, otherwise you will feel tired for a while!" ”

Xie Mulin politely thanked her, and she just said goodbye, as if she had come all the way to remind Xiao Rui not to forget the afternoon's business.

Wu Qiongye left, and Cuijiao dared to penetrate the atmosphere. She whispered to Xie Mulin: "I was startled just now! I didn't see anyone, but as soon as I turned around, Aunt Wu was standing behind me! She told me not to open my mouth, and I was a little bluffed...... "Originally, when someone came, she should have reminded her girl and her future aunt, but she was derelict in her duties, and she had to explain."

Xie Mulin was still rejoicing: "Fortunately, it was Aunt Wu who came, this is one of the Yan Wangfu's own people, and Second Brother Xiao has always been close to her, so it's okay." If it's another stranger, you have to remind you loudly! Fortunately, Aunt Wu didn't go to the bridge, otherwise the two of us didn't notice anyone coming, and still talked about our own words, so what should we do? Although they didn't say anything taboo, after all, the topic was a little less stormy, and Xiao Rui was communicating with her about government affairs......

Cuijiao has not done this kind of personal girl's work for a long time, she is a little lax, she knows her shortcomings in her heart, and hurriedly makes a guarantee to Xie Mulin. Whether she will do it again in the future, she doesn't know in her heart, anyway, she can't do it for a few months, because Gu Dongshan has already asked Gu Niangzi to come forward to propose, the question is only whether she will leave the Xie family with her own girl as a marrying girl or as a companion...... hf();
