Xinyue subconsciously touched her face, and sure enough, she felt that her face was hot, thinking about the way just now, she came out of the apse and stood outside for a while, maybe it was frozen, so she smiled and said to Chen, "It's really cold outside, and as soon as you enter a warm place, your face is red." ”

Chen glanced at the increasingly gloomy weather outside, it was indeed a snowy day, and then smiled and whispered to Xinyue, "I thought that you would blush when you saw my little brother." ”

Old Madam Zhuang also heard it, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "Xinyue, tell me the truth, our family Yang'er, isn't it very good?" ”

Xinyue frowned, not knowing how to answer, so she had to smile and said, "Uncle Shi is naturally a good general. ”

"What about men, how about being men?" Chan asked the crescent moon again.

The new moon was silent for a while, and just when it was quiet, it was rude, Yu He walked in at the right time, and the new moon immediately seemed to be amnesty, "The country, the national teacher is here." ”

"Yes, yes." Chen smiled, reached out to take Crescent Moon's hand, and held it in his hand.

Chen has two forty this year, and has a daughter, because she is too distressed, so she kept her for two more years, until last year, her daughter is eighteen years old, and if she doesn't marry, her fiancé is in a hurry, so she gets married, and when it comes to age, it's about the same as the new moon, and now if it's her daughter, the second is married to a person who is ten years older than herself...

"What are you thinking, ma'am?" Because the national teacher came in, everyone should get up and salute, and after Xinyue stood up, she found that Chen was still sitting on the chair, thinking thoughtfully about something.

"No, it's nothing," Chen said, and Chen also stood up and came back to his senses.

After saluting, Yu He sat on the futon in the center of the high platform, raised his hand and drank a sip of tea at hand, and said to everyone, "Sit down, drink tea and be quiet." ”

With that, everyone sat back in their seats.

Xinyue raised her hand, picked up the tea in her hand, just put it on her lips, Xinyue smelled an elegant orchid fragrance, it was her favorite Tieguanyin, Xinyue smiled slightly, this smile fell in the eyes of Mrs. Zhuang, she carefully paid attention to Xinyue's cup, and saw that the tea in her cup was greener, and there was a trace of orchid fragrance when she got closer, which seemed to be different from ordinary people, and then she came in from the door on the inside of the Shangqing Palace, and she should have come here after meeting Yu He, so she lowered her voice and asked Xinyue" How did you come so late? ”

"There are some things to tell the national teacher Yu He, it's a little late." Crescent Moon replied without thinking.

"You have some friendship with Yu He National Teacher?" Chan asked.

Xinyue put down the teacup and nodded, "Yes, I was fortunate to have a national teacher when I was a child, so I can grow up safely until now." ”

"There is such a thing." Old Madam Zhuang naturally hadn't heard of it.

Yu He began to preach, and everyone present quieted down.

Xinyue sat here, one left and one right are familiar people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Yu He, the lecture is the most hypnotic, Xinyue had to send Xi to drink strong tea, and he can be more energetic.

Xinyue's eyes widened, and then she felt that her eyes were in a trance, in a trance, and finally lowered her head, I don't know how long it took, she suddenly woke up, quickly raised her head, and found that she didn't notice herself, and Mrs. Zhuang and Chen were listening carefully to Yu He's preaching.

Cheering up, Crescent Moon sat up straight again, and was about to serve tea to the side, when she heard someone in the back row talking about herself.

"This is not the marquis of the Marquis of Anxuan's Mansion?" A young lady said to a lady of the Zhang family sitting next to her.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "It's her." ”

"Why is she wearing the girl's hair in a bun?" The young lady asked.

"It's not that I'm reconciled with my husband's family, so it's like this." Mrs. Zhang knew the inside story in more detail.

"And the little prince of the Yu family?" The young lady's eyes widened.

"Nature is"

"I didn't expect such a person to come to such an occasion, this is really the way the world is like this."

Mrs. Zhang looked around and whispered to the young lady, "Look who is sitting next to her."

"It's not Mrs. Zhuang of Marquis Jiang's family and Mrs. Chen of Jiang Shangshu's family"

"What are you afraid of, don't you find a new branch immediately, and it won't be long before the Jiang family is going to be happy again." After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she also glanced at the new moon, and the new moon noticed the eyes, picked up the teacup in her hand, the tea had just been refilled, and it was just warm to drink at this time.

"You mean..."

"Just keep your voice down and know it in your heart." Mrs. Zhang glanced at Xinyue with a little weakness, and saw that she was fine, so she put her mind at ease, "It's just a continuation, don't do it in the future, Princess Yu won't do it, I have to let myself become the daughter of the second marriage, General Jiang, but it's so easy to get along with, it's better than..."

"Cough" Mrs. Zhuang coughed, which made Xinyue not realize it, she looked up and found that Mrs. Zhuang must have heard what she said just now, and then laughed at herself, this Mrs. Zhuang is really a calf protector, and when she says herself, she can pretend not to hear, and when it comes to General Jiang, she immediately reacted, and Mrs. Zhang naturally heard this cough that was not light or heavy, and immediately quieted down.

Xinyue brought tea and brought it to Mrs. Zhuang's hand, "Madam, drink some tea." ”

"This charcoal gas is upwell, it's really smoking."

Crescent Moon listened and smiled "yes"

"If it's irrelevant, it's as smoky as this charcoal, but as long as you dodge it, or kick this charcoal basin away, there's no need to hold it." Old Madam Zhuang drank tea, realized Xinyue's thoughts, and took the initiative to say.

After hearing this, Xinyue shook her head, "This charcoal gas didn't say anything wrong. ”

"Why bother with this frivolous thing, what does it say?" Old Madam Zhuang raised her voice, and Mrs. Zhang and the young lady naturally heard it, but they didn't dare to say anything.

"Madame, why do you bother? The little girl was a little bored and wanted to go out for a walk, so she was out of company. With that, Crescent stood up and walked out of the side aisle.

Walking out of this hall that can be described as overcrowded, Xinyue felt a burst of joy in her heart, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, raised her hand and stretched her body, but before she could breathe, a serious voice came from behind her.

"If you stretch your waist like this, your spine is crooked, so it's not right, it's very easy to diverge, and it will be very difficult to diverge for half a day..."

"Hiss, hiss..." Before she finished speaking, Xinyue was frightened and breathed, and her tears came out of her eyes, and she gasped coldly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this the case." ”

"Uncle Shi, can you make a little noise, hiss... It hurts. As she spoke, Crescent Moon reached out and covered her breath and frowned.

"It's not my fault." Jiang Yang saw that there was a light sweat on her aching forehead, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to soothe her, but thinking of the defense of men and women, his hand paused in mid-air, pointed to his left rib, and said, "You can beat here twice with some force, it will be better." ”

"What?" Crescent Moon clutched her ribs, her eyes widening.

"Here, it's a way to soothe your anger. You push harder, two times in a row. Jiang Yang was a little anxious, so he simply started by himself and hammered himself twice.

Xinyue frowned, half-believing the hammer for the first time, only to feel that there was really a flow of air downward, and then came again, Xinyue felt that the ribs that were still very painful just now dispersed six or seven points "Really, it really doesn't hurt that much." ”

"yes, when you drink water for a while, take a sip, and it will be relieved soon." Jiang Yang smiled when he saw that Xinyue's face was gentle.

"It's amazing," Crescent Moon took a deep breath, and sure enough, the pain was slowly dissipating.

"Since it's all right, tell me, what's the matter with me?" Jiang Yang turned sideways and stood in front of the crescent moon.

Xinyue frowned, "I, when did I call Uncle Shi?" ”

"The maid beside my mother said you were... Hey, I was so stupid to believe my mother's words. Jiang Yang said, realized the problem, and said with some annoyance.

Seeing his sudden realization, Xinyue smiled, "General Dao Jiang, he has a father's backbone, and he uses soldiers like a god, my lord, in terms of strategy, you are not as good as an old lady in a mansion." ”

"Not really, it's just my mother's order, and it's really hard to be vigilant." Jiang Yang scratched the back of his head with his hand a little embarrassed, and said, "Then I bothered you, girl, and hurt you, so I was angry." ”

"Uncle Shi is really polite"

"In that case, then I'll go first." Saying that, Jiang Yang raised his steps and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xinyue, "Since Uncle Shi is here, let's talk." ”

"What you want to say, but our absurdity?" Jiang Yang was so smart that he immediately understood the meaning of Xinyue's words.

"Yes, there are a lot of people here, Uncle Shi, let's go to the pavilion over there and have a chat."

"Okay" Jiang Yang looked around, indeed, if someone came out of the main hall, they would definitely see two people, so he listened to Xinyue's advice and walked to the pavilion on the side.

Xinyue followed behind Jiang Yang, he was an extremely tall man, just standing in front of him, he could feel the sense of security that was coming to him, Xinyue sighed, feeling that he was always thinking too much.

Jiang Yang turned his head, "Good and dignified, what are you sighing for?" ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Uncle Shi is now." Xinyue didn't expect him to turn back, a little cramped, and quickly stopped his steps.

"Look at the scared you, you go ahead" As he spoke, Jiang Yang turned around and turned back behind Xinyue.

The crescent moon couldn't, so she had to walk forward.

Jiang Yang looked at the little girl walking in front, her jet-black hair spread on her pale cyan skirt, her snow-white skin and the agility of her demeanor that could not be ignored, but in a moment, she stopped, because the pavilion had arrived.

The pavilion here needs to bypass a rockery, which is just half-covered, and the people in the pavilion cannot be seen.

The two of them stood in the pavilion one on the left and one on the right, and Jiang Yang said impatiently, "Say it"

"Uncle Shi, listening to your tone just now, I should know that the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zhuang want to match the two of us."

"I, I didn't expect you to ask me directly, then I will be blunt, Miss Xu, you are the daughter of my eldest brother's friend, your father, and my eldest brother, as far as I am concerned, you are just a little niece, I don't have any wrong thoughts about you, and I am about to reach the age of not being confused, and I am also disappointed with you,"

Xinyue knew that Jiang Yang also disagreed, otherwise according to Mrs. Zhuang's eagerness, she would have come to explain to the Cao family a long time ago.

"Uncle Shi is calm, Xinyue also has this intention, and he doesn't want to marry Uncle Shi as his wife."

Jiang Yang nodded, "Yes, a girl like you, even if you marry once, you will definitely be able to find a good family if you marry again, and Uncle Shi is not worthy." ”

"Uncle Shi, don't say that, so, it makes Xinyue panic, I heard the Queen Mother say, you want to surpass our great saint's founding general Shen Zike, and become the youngest general of the feudal marquis, you still have a good future, and your future wife is naturally everyone's lady, and Xinyue is not worthy of remarrying."

"No, you're fine" Jiang Yang was anxious, feeling that he had said the wrong thing, which caused Xinyue to panic and belittle himself. He immediately explained, "You are very nice, you are beautiful, and you are smart. All men in the world should be proud to marry you.

It's just that in my heart, there is already someone, that is my wife, even if she is gone, as her husband, I should ensure that no one can take her place.

I, Jiang Yang, am not the kind of person who waits for a small night, as soon as my wife died, I looked for a young lady and misled my life.

It is said that between husband and wife, they should grow old together.

You are too young for me, if there is really anything between the two of us, according to age, I will definitely go one step ahead of you, leaving you with black hair, and children who may still be young, leaving you alone and bullied, which Jiang Mou, as a man, can't bear.

Therefore, you, there will definitely be a new good relationship, and I will not harm others.

After the New Year, in two months, I will return to Jingzhou Xiying.

At that time, I will not be in Beijing, and my mother's mind will be lightened, and our affairs will be as if nothing had happened. ”

Xinyue saw that Jiang Yang said sincerely, but she thought too simply about the fact that the two of them could break up in two.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yang saw Xinyue pursing her lips and thinking about something, thinking that she had something in her heart, and was a little in a hurry, "I just, I don't want to miss your life."

"I know," Crescent said, nodding and smiling.

But this smile fell in Jiang Yang's eyes, as if he was forced to smile, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xinyue, "Uncle Shi, do you really think that as long as the two of us are separated, this matter can be over?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Crescent Moon saw his reaction, she knew that he hadn't figured it out that he was going to do this.

"Queen Mother, do you know the news that the Queen Mother is seriously ill?"

Jiang Yang nodded, "I know, I heard my father say that my aunt is afraid that there are not many days left." ”

"The Queen Mother regards my life as the only thing she cares about during her lifetime, and she recognizes you as my good match, so neither of us can think of using distance to stop this matter."

"After the New Year, the prince's state funeral, even if it is the New Year's Festival, some rules don't have to be too strict, but we can't get married before the mourning period, wait, wait for the queen mother..., this matter can be more settled."

"Then what if the Queen Mother goes to give marriage?"

"Marriage?" Jiang Yang also realized that the problem was not so simple, if the Queen Mother was dying and gave marriage, then the two would have to get married if they didn't get married.

"If we do everything possible to prevaricate, as soon as you leave, the Queen Mother has to use the trick of giving marriage, let us comply, we will really, it will be difficult to ride a tiger." Xinyue said, "And the Queen Mother has already told me, she has such a meaning." ”

"That, that..." Jiang Yang felt a little powerless, because he really couldn't think of any good way.

"It's better for the two of us to inherit it first, otherwise the Queen Mother will give marriage by decree, so that there will be room for things to turn around."

"What do you mean, I want to be false and wronged, wait, after the Queen Mother is completely relieved, we are making plans for the next step."

That's what the little girl meant. Even if the two of us really agree on this marriage, Uncle Shi, if you don't marry, who can still force it? After a year or two, our Xu family will repent of the marriage, and the face of our two families will be saved. Just..."

"As long as you don't make a clear order."

"Yes" Xinyue nodded, this Jiang Yang is really smart.

"But you're still so young, if you're dragged down by my business, no matter how old you are, it's even more difficult to marry a good family again." Jiang Yang felt that this was a good idea, but he couldn't just miss Xinyue's life.

"Uncle Shi, we have talked so much, I will tell you the truth, Xinyue has never thought of remarrying since he and Yu Xiaowangye left, I just want to live my life in my mother's Zhuangzi, and when I am older and people no longer gossip, I will leave Jinling, go to see the mountains and rivers of our great sage, and finally find a place to be at ease, and live this life." Xinyue said very firmly, and Jiang Yang knew at a glance that she was sincere.

"How can you have such a bold idea as a woman?" Although Jiang Yang knew that she was telling the truth, she still couldn't understand it.

"Uncle Shi, does a woman really want three obedience and four virtues, in the inner mansion, a husband and a child?"

"For thousands of years, women have come over like this." In Jiang Yang's concept, it has been like this since ancient times.

"Since so many women have done this for thousands of years, I, Xu Xinyue, will not join in this excitement, and the founding Empress Taizu is not also unusual, leading troops to fight by herself."

"How many queens are there in this world?"

"But in this world, there is only one Xu Xinyue, and I only care about myself." Crescent Moon said emotionally and patted her chest.

This sentence touched Jiang Yang, he looked at the woman in front of him who was deviant, but stubborn and still refused to give in, and nodded, "Yes, I am just afraid of being wronged, life is still very long, if in the future, you meet the man you love, but the man is hindered by your past and can't marry you, what should I do?" ”

"Uncle Shi, you should also be a person who understands love, and you should also know that the truly heart-warming love is not about anything." The smile on Xinyue's face deepened, and Jiang Yang nodded, "Since that's the case, then let's do it." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi" Xinyue saw that the matter was reached, and curtsied his knees and thanked.

"I should thank you, with you, it's just that my mother won't force me to marry a wife for three or five years." Jiang Yang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was not happy.

"Uncle Shi, since the death of the crown prince, in this world, in the past few years, I am afraid that there will be a big change, you, the new moon can't stop it, we can only keep our own hearts, the rest, don't care, it's useless to care."

"Yes, the heart is the heaviest." Jiang Yang nodded in agreement, "This matter is settled." When I go home, I will have a real time with my mother, you do the same, make some preparations, my mother has a warm temperament, and will definitely invite you to come to the house as a guest and attend a banquet, if you feel annoyed, feel free to tell me, after I go to Xiying, it will be much better. ”

"Yes, thank you Uncle Shi, for thinking so far."

"Don't call Uncle Shi when there are a lot of people, if you don't dislike it, call me a general." Jiang Yang was thoughtful, and since he had made up his mind, he immediately began to implement it.

"Yes, General."

"Then I'll go first, the two of us together, but it looks amazing."

"Yes"

Seeing this Jiang Yang, Xinyue occasionally has some brains that can't get around, but it can be understood at one point, and it will be one into three.

After Jiang Yang left, Feng'er and Fei'er found Xinyue, and Feng'er draped her cloak over her shoulders.

"Are you done talking?"

"After speaking, the national teacher is handing out auspicious charms, girl, let's go and get them."

Xinyue shook her head, "Let's go back, let's go in and join in the fun." And on this day, it's going to snow. ”

"Then we haven't come for nothing today." Fei'er asked with some concern.

"Isn't it an auspicious charm, isn't it?" Saying that, Xinyue took out the auspicious charm that Yu He gave himself when he went out just now from his cloak, bulging and packed in an envelope, which was enough for An Xuanhou's mansion.

Xinyue opened the envelope and saw that in addition to the auspicious charm, there was also an envelope, and when she took it out and looked at the envelope, Yu He's handwriting read, "Paste it in your mansion." ”

"The national teacher really has a heart, and he has prepared it for our Zhuangzi." Feng'er said happily.

"This, you send someone to send it to your sister-in-law, and then bring our things back, and we will meet Zhuangzi directly from here." The crescent moon looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, this wind and snow had arrived in front of him, and the smart man still hurried down the mountain.

After explaining, Xinyue sent someone to say to Yu He, and walked slowly towards the mountain gate.

As soon as she walked out of the second door, Xinyue felt that someone behind her called herself, and turned around to see that it was Taiqing who was holding a white porcelain bottle, and what was inserted in the bottle was really the plum blossom she just wanted.

"Thank you so much for remembering, the little girl was in a hurry and almost forgot, thank you." As he spoke, Xinyue restrained herself and gave Taiqing a salute.

Taiqing immediately replied, "The girl is really polite, since the girl has an entrustment, and the little one has agreed, so naturally she has to do a good job." This adds the living water behind the Shangqing Palace, which can be used for three or four days without changing the water, and this plum blossom can also live for a longer time. ”

"Yes," Feng'er took the bottle, and the new moon smiled goodbye, "That's it, and the little girl took her leave. ”

"Girl, please" Taiqing watched the new moon leave, and looked a little stupid for a while, until Taibo stopped him, "Senior brother, the master is looking for you." ”

"Okay, I'll go over now." Taiqing finally came to her senses, and when she looked at the direction of Xinyue, she couldn't see her anymore.

Xinyue turned around, looked at the red plum in Feng'er's hand, and as if she thought of something, she took out a handkerchief from her arms, unfolded the handkerchief, looked at the red plum inside, and said with some disappointment, "I knew earlier, it was better to let Rong Ying lose it, in this handkerchief, it was squeezed like this." ”
