Father Xiao nodded, "It turns out that the virtuous nephew is also from the official family, and the virtuous nephew knows my Xiaomei's ......."

"I am a colleague with Ling Ai." Gu Chuyu replied.

Father Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, it's good that the virtuous nephew knows, this girl broke my heart, and I was worried that she would be recognized that day and she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around." He patted his knees and sighed, "I'm just this girl, I wanted to hold her in the palm of my hand, but she wanted to fly high." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, if she wants to be an official, I will protect her; If I don't want to, I will spoil her and never accept a concubine. Gu Chuyu looked at Mei Xiaoren and said it very clearly.

The veil covered the lower half of her face, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

Father Xiao looked at the two of them, and didn't want to ask more, how could he not see the affection in their eyes.

As long as the two are in love, it is enough that they will not lose each other because of the pursuit of fame and fortune, anyway, with the support of his mother's family, his daughter is destined to be poor in this life, and it doesn't matter whether the son-in-law is poor or expensive, whether he is an official or a businessman.

"Okay, Dad agreed to this family business."

Gu Chuyu arched his hand, "Thank you, uncle, for making it complete." ”

Mei Xiaoren also smiled: "Thank you, Dad." ”

"The person you like, can your father still tie you up and prevent you from marrying?" Father Xiao glanced at his daughter and smiled, and slowly advised, "Dad can see that Gu Gongzi's good upbringing must be from a big family, and when you arrive at your husband's house in the future, you will abide by your duties, honor your in-laws, and teach your husband and children......"

Mei Xiaoren was helpless: "Dad, it's still early, it's not too late for you to nag on the day I get married." ”

Father Xiao suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It's my father who is overjoyed, and forgot to perform six salutes, and this trip back and forth between Beijing and Xuanzhou has to be delayed for a lot of time." ”

Gu Chuyu said: "Recently, there is an army stationed here, which is very inconvenient, and after we set off, I will send someone to stay and handle it." ”

Father Xiao was puzzled: "Halfway through, don't you ask your parents what they mean?" After all, my Xiaomei's age is not young, does Ling Zun Lingci mind? ”

"Only the adoptive father is alive in the family, and he never interferes in the affairs of the younger generations."

Father Xiao nodded in agreement, "Then it's decided, when you choose a good day, my father will rush to watch the ceremony." ”

"Okay." Mei Xiaoren said.

After her father's pass, she took Chu Yu around the house, and specially moved to the idle yard.

Another few years have passed, and nothing has changed here, except for something a little older.

"You don't remember anything from the past?" Mei Xiaoren asked.

"There's not much to remember."

"I'll ask people to clean up here, and we'll live here when we go back to Yun County in the future?"

"Listen to you."

Gu Chuyu glanced back at the imprint that had been backfilled on the ground in front of the door, and then looked at the jade dice hanging around her neck, in the dark, there seemed to be a providence.

He lowered his head as her gaze wandered, and even though the veil was in the way, he pecked her on the lips with unmistakable accuracy.

Mei Xiaoren looked at him with a smile on his lips. Whether he is a traitor in the eyes of the world or a loyal minister who cares about Daning, she will follow him in her life.

When the sun set, Mei Xiaoren went to the outskirts of the city with Chu Yu and put a few sticks of incense on his mother's grave.

Here is buried a lady of the first grade, and the bare tomb does not seem to match the identity of the prime minister's wife. Mei Xiaoren later learned that the scene here was all due to Chu Zifeng's bastard! What happened here back then was also the cause of the murder that she didn't finish investigating.

Chu Yu said that it was his mother's wish to be buried in his hometown, no matter how much glory his mother enjoyed and how much respect she received when she was alive, she still thought of his biological father when she was dying. For Prime Minister Gu, his mother is just spending her life to repay her kindness.

His mother misses the old, compared to the glory and wealth of Shangjing, she likes the mediocrity in Yun County in the past, so after the bandits stole the jade bricks, he did not repair the cemetery, so that it remains as it is, and can blend into the simple green mountains and green waters around it.

After worshipping, Gu Chuyu took her hand and walked back in the sunset.

In the past, this place was secluded, but now they met acquaintances.

It was the patriarch and wife of the Chu family, Chu Zifeng's father and mother, and Chu's mother was also carrying incense candles in her hand.

The patriarch of the Chu family was very happy to see her, and greeted with a smile: "Miss Amei, why are you here?" ”

"Uncle Chu." Mei Xiaoren bowed politely.

The patriarch of the Chu family looked at the people beside her again, and was stunned for a moment: "Ah Yu, are you back too?" He smiled and accosted, "Today is your uncle's death day, do you want to go to worship together?" ”

"I'll sweep my mother's grave." Gu Chuyu turned his eyes to look at Mei Xiaoren and continued, "Take my lady who hasn't passed through the door." ”

Chu Mu had already seen the hands of the two of them, and she was even more shocked when she heard this: "Miss Amei, you ...... Are you married? ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded, "My father has always been looking forward to marrying the Chu family, and now it just happens to fulfill his old man's wish." ”

Chu Mu blurted out: "That son is ...... abundant."

The patriarch of the Chu family hurriedly glanced at his daughter-in-law, told her to shut her mouth, and then sighed: "Alas, it is Zifeng who does not have this blessing, since this is the case, then my uncle wishes you a hundred years of happiness." ”

Gu Chuyu didn't say a word, and led Mei Xiaoren to leave slowly.

Mother Chu looked at the two who left and frowned, "Look, Zifeng is promising now, but what's the use of him just sending the silver back, if people don't come back, their daughters-in-law will be robbed." She became more and more distressed, "Miss Xiao is such a good girl, how can she be cheaper than a three-room boy, no, I have to send a letter to Feng'er and ask him to chase my daughter-in-law back for me!" ”

The patriarch of the Chu family looked back with his hands on crutches, and said lightly: "Chu Yu is an official, it depends on whether your son has the ability." ”

Within ten days, General Zhu and the others returned to Yunxian unharmed and brought back the letter of surrender from the Xia Kingdom.

It is said that Xia Jun is still lying on the dragon couch to recuperate, he is bedridden, and Xia Guo is in chaos.

Now the affairs of the Xia Kingdom are all decided by the prince, and the book is the head of his nod, and he took Xia Jun's jade seal and added the seal.

Mei Xiaoren guessed that the prince of Naxia should be busy stabilizing the political situation, and he had no intention of bargaining with them, so he agreed to all the conditions.

The Xia National Treasure Pony is an indispensable trophy, so she also has her own mount, which is also a peerless treasure horse cultivated by the Xia people as a royal horse, and she named it Chasing Rain.

As for her proposal, she naturally cashed in.

The sky was not beautiful, and it was pouring rain outside, and sometimes lightning and thunder were roaring.

Zhao Dutong led someone to escort the carriage to the outside of the county office, walked to the side of the carriage with an umbrella and said, "Princess, it has arrived." ”

When the maid lifted the curtain, a plain-clothed figure got down from the carriage and entered the palace accompanied by the maid.

She was dressed plainly, her hair was tied in a casual bun, and when it rained heavily, she came in all the way, and her skirt was stained with a lot of water, which made her already haggard appearance even more embarrassed.
