Since the decree was issued, the He family and the Hu family have been completely in two situations.

He Xingyao was originally just an ordinary friend to that Hu Ling, and the relationship between the two was not so good that it was so special, so she was very disgusted by it in her heart.

However, the champion got married, the emperor gave marriage, and the world celebrated together, Hu Ling's face was really big.

The emperor's will is naturally to announce to the world, not to mention that marriage is a grand event, and Hu Ling was appointed as the champion, which is even more amazing.

When Chu Yuan was at home, he heard about this incident, and even many people in the streets and alleys talked about this marriage, and many people felt that Hu Ling was a man with affection and righteousness, who won the champion but couldn't afford the princess, and still fell in love with the woman before, which made him an infatuated and capable good husband in the hearts of many girls in the people.

It's just that in this marriage, the happiest and most proud person is not He Xingyao, but Hu Ling.

Sister Qiao looked at Chu Yuan at home with a self-defeating appearance, and she was a little unbearable in her heart after all, so she said to him: "Chu Yuan, I know you are very uncomfortable, but so what? His Majesty the Emperor has given the marriage, and the holy decree has been announced to the world, no matter how reluctant you are, you should take care of her. ”

Yes, it's really a word to wake up the dreamer.

Chu Yuan listened to these words, and suddenly there was no time to complain.

How could he be in a mess because of this? Obviously, the holy decree has been issued, and the emperor will never have the reason to take it back, no matter how much he likes He Xingyao, he still can't mess up after all.

After thinking of this, he suddenly nervously took Sister Qiao'er's hand and said with a crying voice: "Sister, this matter is really caught off guard, but I really like her so much, how can Xingyao be with someone else?" I feel so sad when I think about it, so sad, you don't know, when I saw her in a dream, my heart was really happy, I think she is the doom of my life, but why? Why is our fate so shallow? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out! ”

Sister Qiao listened to these complaining words, she knew that Chu Yuan was always depressed in her heart after hearing about the marriage, but she didn't expect him to be unhappy to this point, which is really embarrassing!

But what can be done?

He Xingyao was thinking at home, she really didn't want others to control her behavior, let alone become a victim of the family, and most importantly, she didn't want to let herself marry a stranger casually, what she wanted was a couple for the rest of her life, an absolutely good husband in this world, not the kind of man who flaunted his infatuation but did things like Fu Xin, that kind of person, she didn't marry!

Xiao Si's heart is also very pitiful for He Xingyao, but she is just a little maid, and she can't do anything after all.

Fortunately, He Xingyao has always been a very creative and smart girl, so she really doesn't want to let herself waste in the years to come.

So, she took advantage of the fact that there was still a long time before the marriage, so she planned to secretly leave the house and go to find another way to make a living.

At that time, Xiao Si was also watching by her side, and her relationship with Xiao Si had been very good since she was a child, so she said to Xiao Si: "Sister Xiao Si, we grew up together, I know that you are not satisfied with this marriage, in this case, are you willing to resist with me?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Si's expression instantly became very solemn, and at the same time a little incredulous, and he looked at the woman in front of him with wide eyes.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Si finally nodded at her and said, "Miss, since you are not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Such an unfair marriage, even if it is a holy decree issued by the emperor himself, Xiao Si will definitely accompany you to resist together, even if the ending is not good, Xiao Si has no regrets. ”

When he said this, He Xingyao's eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears dripped unconsciously, and the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, each of them had a desperate and refreshing feeling.

People say that hope and despair are relative, but the two are actually the same, after all, there are definitely many desperate events that have happened since ancient times.

Xiao Si is gambling, neither she nor He Xingyao are willing to let their fate be doomed like that, no matter how unfair it is, they will resist to the end.

He Xingyao looked at her with tears in his eyes, and only spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Xiao Si, since you support me so much, then we will be sisters in the future, I will call you Sister Xiao Si, in the future, we will always be together to help each other, okay?" ”

Xiao Si also smiled and nodded.

In this way, after the two of them decided to resist something, they began to pack up their things at home, and then planned to think of a foolproof plan.

Besides, that Hu Ling, his current identity is naturally precious and extraordinary, after all, he is also the champion appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and he has the holy decree of marriage, which is naturally indescribably expensive.

However, for him, those identities and fame and fortune are just things outside his body, after all, the most important and important thing for him is to marry He Xingyao, he has always hoped that He Xingyao will become his wife, so everything is just a small means for him to chase his wife.

He has been waiting for news at home, hoping that when the time comes, He Xingyao and him will really be able to get married.

It's just that he didn't know that He Xingyao at this time had been planning how to escape in his heart, and he hadn't told many people about this matter.

He Xingyao first found Xiao Si, and the two of them locked up in the room and planned to think about it, after all, the matter of leaving is not a trivial matter, so they can't be reckless.

However, it is obvious that Xiao Si also thought of this meaning.

So Xiao Si looked at her and said, "Xingyao, what you told me before, I thought about it seriously, and I think what you said is very reasonable, but what should we do?" ”

He Xingyao didn't come up with any better way for a while, so he hesitated a little in his heart, and said in an uncertain tone: "I haven't thought of what to do for the time being, but it won't be too bad after all, as long as we leave home first, leave the city, and go somewhere else, we should be able to avoid these annoying things." ”

After a pause, she continued: "Xiao Si, I have always known that you are a very sensible girl, if you are afraid, just tell me, I will not tie you up and not let you leave." ”

Hearing these words, Xiao Si instantly burst into tears, and then said, "Miss, Xiao Si will never leave you, didn't we already say it?" If you think about it, there will definitely be a way out. ”

He Xingyao nodded.

When she went back to her room to sleep, she felt that it was indeed the happiest and luckiest thing in the world to have such a good girl by her side.

However, lying on the couch for a long time, turning over vigorously, He Xingyao couldn't sleep no matter what.

She was still thinking about Chu Yuan in her heart, although that person was not too important to her, but she just remembered this person, and then she couldn't forget it.

For a whole night, He Xingyao didn't sleep well, and even kept thinking about the marriage, she didn't want to marry Hu Ling unwillingly, no matter how good Hu Ling was, she wouldn't be happy anyway if she didn't like it.

Early the next morning, Mrs. He looked at her daughter's eyes and was a little blue, so she said worriedly: "Xingyao, what's wrong with you?" Didn't you get a good night's rest last night? ”

He Xingyao nodded, but she didn't want her mother to worry, so she pretended to be big and said, "Mother, it's actually fine, anyway, I'll have a good rest today, and I'll make up for it after a good night's sleep." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Mrs. He suddenly scolded angrily: "What is this like? Xiao Si, Miss didn't rest well last night, and you didn't persuade well, why, did our He family raise you to eat dry rice? ”

As soon as Xiao Si was about to open his mouth to defend himself, He Xingyao said directly: "Mother, why do you want to blame Xiao Si? Whether I sleep or not is my own business, Xiao Si is just a person around me, I can't watch me all the time, you don't have to blame her at all. ”

After a pause, she continued: "What's more, Xiao Si and I have grown up together since childhood, and I have never regarded her as a servant of our family, but as a sister, and I believe that you are the same, so don't talk about her in the future." ”

Hearing these words, Mrs. He was immediately speechless, but after all, she still didn't see the depth and unwillingness in He Xingyao's eyes, and she still didn't notice the deep pain in her daughter's heart after all.

Besides, He Xingyao, the breakfast in the early morning was actually the last meal she ate at home, she was very sad, but she couldn't show it, she could only quietly hide back in the room and cry, Xiao Si watched from the side, and felt a little uncomfortable.

After the two of them had breakfast, Xiao Si left the family in advance, and they left the house together in disguise.

However, in order to prevent the people in this city from recognizing and causing trouble, He Xingyao and Xiao Si did not plan to stay in this city for a long time, but prepared the carriage in advance and let the groom take them out of the city.

In the carriage, Xiao Si looked at He Xingyao and couldn't help asking, "Xingyao, have you thought about it?" Now that we've really left home, now do you think about where we're going? ”

When He Xingyao heard this, he spoke directly: "Sister Xiao Si, I know that you have been worried, but now that I have thought about it, we must have the ability to survive when we go outside, otherwise we will not be able to support ourselves, and this trip will be too bad!" ”

Xiao Si felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she planned to continue listening.

Sure enough, He Xingyao saw that she recognized herself so much, so she continued: "I won't tell you, I thought about it, since the crux of this matter lies with the emperor, the emperor personally gave the marriage, I am an ordinary woman, naturally I can't fight against Tianwei, but I want the emperor to take back his fate, since Hu Ling is the champion of this session, then I will also take the champion exam, and then I will ask the emperor to cancel this marriage in person." ”

Hearing such a risky thing, Xiao Si felt frightened for a while, and was extremely worried for a while, frowning and said, "Xingyao, I don't think your plan is too risky?" In fact, we don't need to do this at all, as long as they can't find us, even if the emperor gives the marriage and someone has an accident, then this marriage will naturally not count, so why do you have to take the top prize? ”

Her words are not unreasonable, but for He Xingyao, it is not the best choice.

He Xingyao has never been a cowardly and humble woman, so even if it is about escaping marriage, her thoughts are different from ordinary people.

"Sister Xiao Si, I know what you think, but the emperor doesn't ask me about marriage, do you think such a thing is fair? I don't want the emperor to marry in the future, and I don't want others to interfere in my own life events, if you want to marry a stranger, will you agree? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Si shook his head directly almost without thinking: "How can this be agreed?" With a stranger, they don't know each other well enough, and it's already difficult to get along, how can they get married? ”

When she said this, she suddenly understood what she was thinking in her heart, and said with a smile: "Miss, I think your idea is really novel, but no matter what, I will support you." ”

He Xingyao smiled and nodded.

The two of them sat in the carriage for several days, and they met many people and saw a lot of anecdotes on the way.

It took almost seven or eight days for them to go to Anseong, the farthest place, but the two of them were too lucky, and as soon as they came to Anseong, they heard about the exams for the second year.

He Xingyao had already planned for a long time, and after she and Xiao Si settled down in Ancheng, the two of them worked and made money at the same time.

Although they come from a large family far away, there are indeed a lot of means of making a living, He Xingyao himself is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Xiao Si is a good cook, the two of them are in Ancheng, naturally they have not suffered much, but many people have come to admire, all want to taste the food and delicacies made by Miss Xiao Si, and there are some scholars and talents, and they also want to compete with He Xingyao, so the inn where the two people live, the innkeeper is also a kind-hearted couple, and the four of them work together, and it didn't take long to make a lot of money.

Then one day, the proprietress of the inn looked at He Xingyao and asked, "Miss Xingyao is really smart, but I don't know if you are willing to cooperate with us for a long time?" I'll give you this inn as a gift when the time comes, how about it? ”

He Xingyao shook his head and refused directly: "Boss, I said that I and Xiao Si are only temporarily living here, we always have to leave, so why do we have to have so much cooperation?" ”

Hearing this, the proprietress felt pity in her heart after all, so she could only sigh and say: "Miss Xingyao, since you have said so, then we will not force it, but the rivers and lakes are far away, and friends are rare, if the girl encounters anything difficult in the future, you must not force it, we will definitely help you." ”

He Xingyao smiled and nodded.

After returning to the room, Xiao Si's heart suddenly became very worried, and he even frowned and said, "Xingyao, you told me before that you were going to take the exam and you wanted to take the top prize, but now that you and I are both women, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao smiled lightly.
