Mei Xiaoren was not the only one who was shocked by this, from the border pass to Yunxian, the faces of the soldiers she saw along the way were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Chu Yu and General Zhu discussed in the lobby about making Xia Guo surrender, and Mei Xiaoren was about to go back to the backyard when he bumped into Mrs. Wei halfway.

Mrs. Wei pulled her aside and praised her again and again: "Your family is a good man...... What a ......."

"Good archery?" Mei Xiaoren quipped.

Mrs. Wei raised three fingers and said, "Three arrows, it's really for the hatred of our Daning soldiers who died in battle!" She picked up her hand and sighed, "It's just that Xiangye's arrow didn't go to Xia Jun's vital point, and he didn't have murderous intentions." ”

"Killing the monarch of Xia is not trivial, and Xiangye should have his considerations."

Mrs. Wei nodded, and said with a smile: "By the way, do you know, that princess of Xia Kingdom didn't know what she said to anger Xiangye, and Xiangye rewarded her with a bowl of medicine, so that she would never be able to chew the root of her tongue from now on." ”

Mei Xiaoren was taken aback, no wonder the princess of the Xia Kingdom didn't say a word today...... She already understood what medicine Mrs. Wei was referring to, and she also knew the reason why Chu Yu told her to shut up......

Mrs. Wei sighed again, "If my family Wei Shuying can have half the courage of Xiangye, the old lady promises that she will never touch a single hair of his hair in the future!" ”

In the evening, Mei Xiaoren heard that her father had moved back home, and the Xiao family's shops had opened one after another.

After Xia Guo presents the letter of surrender, she and Chu Yu will leave for Beijing. It was inconvenient for her to go home for the time being, so she just walked around the street and looked at the family's business. In the evening, Mei Xiaoren returned to the county office and saw that Chu Yu had also returned to his residence.

There are not many courtyards in the county Yahou Garden, Chu Yu lives in the main courtyard, and she lives in the wing room next to it. There are Chu Yu's personal guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, and no one can approach except her and Chu Yu's personal attendants.

He held the candle and played chess at the stone table. She walked up behind him lightly, quietly leaned on his back, and whispered around his neck, "Thank you." ”

Gu Chuyu looked sideways, looked at the head resting on his shoulder, and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

"Go out on the street and see the family's business." Mei Xiaoren replied truthfully.

"General Zhu, they will leave for Ancheng in a few days, do you have any conditions that you want Xia Guo to obey?"

Mei Xiaoren shook his head at first, but then he remembered a person, and he had an idea in his heart.

Xia Guo was defeated, Xia Jun was shot and wounded by Chu Yu, and the princess of Xia Guo was also injured by Chu Yu...... The resentment between the two countries seems to be getting deeper and deeper, can that sixteen-year-old little girl survive here?

She also used to have sex when she was sixteen years old, and she was more considerate of Haoyang than others.

Mei Xiaoren lay on Gu Chuyu's shoulder and said: "If Princess Haoyang wants to come back, just take her back, she was just playing with her temper at the beginning, don't be like a little girl." ”

"That's all?"

"Hmm."

Mei Xiaoren let go of Chu Yu, walked to the side and sat down, picked up a white piece casually, and tried to solve the chess game on the table.

"Xiao Xiao, how about you lead me to meet your father in a few days?"

Mei Xiaoren just dropped the chess piece, his fingertips were still pressed on the chess piece, and he turned his head to look at Chu Yu, "Really? ”

"Or do you want to make a private decision for life?" The corners of Gu Chuyu's mouth raised, and the place where her eyes could see was not a chess game at all, but her.

"Think about it, really marry? At my age, very few people want it. Mei Xiaoren pursed his lips and snickered, and said, "My father is worried to death because of this, if you go, he will guarantee that he will not let you run away, and you must marry me." ”

"Isn't that right?" Gu Chuyu smiled on her lips, picked up a chess piece to play against her, and said, "And Xiao Xiao, you don't need to make any determination, you and I don't have to conflict with you as an official in the court, and you don't have to give up your future for me." ”

Mei Xiaoren was surprised: "Really? ”

"You say that it is up to people to plan things and things to be accomplished in heaven, but I believe that people will win over heaven, and there will be no double law in the world."

Three days later, General Zhu took Mrs. Wei to Xia State, and Daning's army was stationed at the border pass, and Xia Guo did not dare to act rashly.

After the acquaintance left, Mei Xiaoren took Gu Chuyu to leave the county office, first went to Meilou to change clothes, and then went out through the back door and took her sedan chair to Xiaofu.

The two sedan chairs arrived outside the Xiao Mansion one after the other. Gu Chuyu got off the sedan chair and saw her coming from behind in a blink of an eye, wearing tulle, holding a fan, her clothes fluttering, and her azure figure was the most beautiful scenery in the scorching heat at the end of summer.

Mei Xiaoren took Gu Chuyu into the house, and learned that her father was still in the account room to check the accounts, so she asked Chu Yu to wait in the hall, and she went to ask her father to come out.

When she arrived at the account room, her father was sitting behind the bookcase, with a thick stack of account books on the table.

Mei Xiaoren stood in front of the door and knocked on the door frame.

Her father raised his eyes when he heard this, slightly surprised: "Xiaomei, didn't you say that it was inconvenient to come back recently?" ”

"Today is different." Mei Xiaoren walked up to her father, leaned over, and whispered, "Dad, I brought someone back for you." ”

"Who?"

"Future son-in-law."

Father Xiao was stunned: "What? ”

"Really, the son-in-law I picked for you." Mei Xiaoren nodded.

Her father frowned, "Girl, should you go back to the capital, I want to ease my father's heart, look for one at random on the street, give ten taels of silver, and then ......"

Mei Xiaoren interrupted her father's words solemnly: "This person can't be hired for ten taels of silver!" ”

"How much does that cost?"

"You'll know when you see it." She tugged at her father's sleeve.

"Let's go!"

Her father immediately dropped the ledger in his hand and rushed out of the door, walking like a fly.

Walking to the door of the hall, Father Xiao saw that there was really a man sitting inside, he slowed down, coughed lightly twice and then took his daughter in.

When Gu Chuyu saw someone coming, he got up and arched his hand: "Uncle." ”

"Well, sit down." Father Xiao looked at the people who greeted the ceremony as he walked, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but after sitting on the main seat, he pretended to be serious, and picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Mei Xiaoren stopped when he walked to Chu Yu's side and sat next to him.

She asked, "Dad, how is it, this person is more than ten taels of silver, right?" ”

Gu Chuyu looked at her in confusion.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing: "My father said that you were hired by me for ten taels of silver." ”

Father Xiao put down the teacup, glanced at his daughter and said, "It's not because you said you couldn't get married when you first came back, and now you suddenly lead someone back, which one do you want your father to believe?" ”

He looked at the person brought by his daughter and asked, "I don't know the surname of the virtuous nephew, where is it?" ”

"Under the surname Gu, the name is Chuyu, the ancestral home is Yun County, and he has lived in Beijing for a long time."

"Shangjing......" Father Xiao frowned and let out a long sigh, "Xiaomei, are you going to marry far away?" ”

"Dad, you just have to say that you still don't want this son-in-law!"

"What's the hurry, Dad hasn't finished asking yet!" Father Xiao looked at Gu Chuyu again, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Then I don't know where the virtuous nephew is, is he a businessman or an official?" ”

Mei Xiaoren remembered an impressive sentence, and casually replied for Gu Chuyu: "I was lucky enough to eat the court, and I was a small official with food and clothing." ”

Gu Chuyu silently looked at her, the corners of his lips were shallow and speechless.
