Since Xiao Dingfeng, the king of Jiannan, announced that his son Xiao Lingting would marry Wu Xiang, the young lady of the Wu family of the Anguo Mansion, the whole palace has been busy under the command of Princess Hu Qingti. The prince got married, and the lady who married the princess of Anguo, no one dared to be sloppy, even the laziest old man Zhang of the corner gate doorman, opened his eyes that had been squinting on weekdays, for fear that something would go wrong and become a small flaw in the preparation process of the prince's wedding, how many years has there been no happy event in the palace? He excitedly stroked the unkempt gray hair of his sideburns. Concubine Yuan, as the princess's right and left hand, was even more busy with her feet on the ground and dizzy, and she couldn't care about restraining Xiao Lingshuang for even a few days.

Knowing that Xiao Lingting was going to get married, Xiao Lingshuang was more excited than anyone else, her mind was full of questions, the future new sister-in-law didn't know what she looked like, what her temperament was, she was a little gloating and thought, this Miss Wu family, I don't know if I can stand the cold face of my eldest brother, hehe. When I heard that the new sister-in-law had just turned seventeen years old, I was even more happy, so that the eldest sister-in-law in the family and the eldest brother had a daughter-in-law, wouldn't I have one more playmate, and my mother had already warned her that she couldn't always mix with the second brother when she was older.

"Yinqiu, you say, what does Miss Wu look like? Will she like Big Brother? Xiao Lingshuang held her fat chin, which was still a little baby fat, and her eyes were full of reverie.

"Back to the county lord, I'm ...... I do not know. Yinqiu is fifteen years old, and when she heard the word "like" in Xiao Lingshuang's words, her face, which had always been honest, suddenly turned crimson, and she stammered when she spoke.

Xiao Lingshuang, another little girl, covered her mouth and smiled when she saw Yinqiu's appearance, "Sister Yinqiu is shy." "Different from the honest and capable Yinqiu, the fourteen-year-old Ling'er has always been quick to do and quick to speak, although she can't endure hardships and can't work, but she has always been sharp-tongued, smart and clever and has a lot of ideas, and she is the second most powerful person around Xiao Lingshuang besides Yinqiu." Back to the county lord, Miss Wu doesn't know what the slave maid looks like, but the slave knows that she will definitely like His Royal Highness. ”

"Why is that?" Hearing Ling'er's affirmative tone, Xiao Lingshuang was a little curious.

"What do you think, the county lord, His Royal Highness the prince is handsome and chic, personable, both civil and military, and the slave maid really can't find a reason why Miss Wu doesn't like the prince." Ling'er put her hand on her chest, looking like a nymphomaniac.

Xiao Lingshuang glanced at Ling'er, "I thought you had any high opinions, my eldest brother's excellence can be seen by everyone as long as he has eyes, what you said is the same as if you didn't say it." After saying that, he made up a knife: "But it's really difficult for you, three idioms, and all of them are used correctly, it's not easy!" ”

Ling'er here is still being a nymphomaniac, but Yinqiu, who came out of the shy embarrassment, said leisurely: "His Royal Highness the Prince is certainly the dragon and phoenix among people, but my mother said that it is difficult to explain emotional matters." ”

Sure enough, a few years older is an advantage, to be able to draw such a profound conclusion, Xiao Lingshuang praised Yinqiu fiercely in her heart, and of course, she didn't forget to despise the Ling'er.

As soon as the words were spoken, the three masters and servants began to talk about Xiao Lingting's marriage enthusiastically, with all kinds of gossip heard from the outside.

"What do you say? So lively! "Without knocking on the door or saying hello, he went directly to Xiao Lingshuang's room, and there was no second person in the palace except Xiao Lingji.

"Second brother, you haven't come to play with me for a few days." Seeing Xiao Lingji, Xiao Lingshuang complained on her lips, but stood up happily.

"How can I come to you? The eldest brother got married, and my mother arranged a lot of errands for me, and I was tired to death! Xiao Lingji said exaggeratedly, picked up the snacks on the desk and sent them to his mouth.

"Really? What errands the mother has arranged for you, let's hear it. "The gossip still has to be learned from Xiao Lingji's mouth, and it is absolutely reliable and sufficient.

"Those who can work hard! The eldest brother is the groom's official, and it is inconvenient to come forward in person for many things, and you are a girl's family, so you can't help much, this thousand pounds of burden, doesn't it fall on my shoulders. Xiao Lingji looked very energetic with a big responsibility.

"That's natural, the second brother is the most capable." Xiao Lingshuang moved the tea to Xiao Lingji's hand and encouraged him to continue.

"Alas, I won't talk about anything else, it's all small things, not worth mentioning." Xiao Lingji said proudly, "Let me tell you, my father and mother have decided to let me go to Liangzhou to give a dowry gift, and by the way, I will welcome my eldest brother on my behalf." ”

"Really? Second brother, are you going to Liangzhou? Xiao Lingshuang was full of envy, since she was a child, she has always hoped to go out to see the scenery outside, the world, the market, the rivers and lakes are far away, happy and hateful, but unfortunately, as the county lord, it is not easy to even get out of the gate of Jiannan Wangfu, not to mention the unknown distance?

"Well, Shuang'er, when the second brother comes back, I'll tell you more about the beautiful scenery and delicacies along the way." Xiao Lingji was also fascinated, because he liked to mess around on weekdays, and his mother Hu was very strict with him, for fear that he would go out and cause trouble, and in a month, he was detained in the palace for half a month.

"Getting married is a lifelong event, but the eldest brother is no different from usual, aren't you afraid that the new sister-in-law in the future will be a Hedong lion?" Xiao Lingshuang sighed, she couldn't get out anyway, so she had to change the topic.

"Big brother has always been very assertive, our eldest brother, how can he ever be a fish on a knife?" Xiao Lingji smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Do you remember the incident when the eldest brother left home for half a month three years ago?" ”

"Of course I remember, the eldest brother has never been away from home for so long, and the mother concubine was worried like something, and sent someone out to look for it for a long time but didn't find it, and then the eldest brother came back and was reprimanded by his father." Xiao Lingshuang suddenly realized, "Could it be ...... The eldest brother left home and went to Liangzhou that time? ”

"Frost is really smart." Xiao Lingji said diligently, "When my father reprimanded my eldest brother, I happened to hear it, it turned out that the eldest brother had not returned home for a long time, and he went to Liangzhou to secretly see his future concubine. Speaking of the heroic behavior of the eldest brother, Xiao Lingji admired it in his heart, if it was himself, he could not marry a woman he had never met and did not know whether he was round or flat, let alone the eldest brother.

"No wonder the eldest brother is so calm, it turns out that he knows it in his heart! It seems that the eldest brother must be very fond of Miss Wu? Xiao Lingshuang was very shocked, her cold-faced eldest brother went to Liangzhou behind everyone's back to peek at the Miss Wu family in the boudoir, this is too unbelievable, no wonder his father was so angry that time.

"That's natural, at that time, my father reprimanded my eldest brother for being reckless and unorthodox, but the eldest brother finally told my father that he only wanted Miss Wu as his wife." Showing off his eavesdropping skills without leaking at all, Xiao Lingji was proud.

Half a month later, the dowry gift from the Jiannan Wangfu to the Anguo Mansion was finally prepared, in addition to the gold and jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting, silk and silk satin, these dead things filled dozens of carriages, and there were two huge cages loaded with all kinds of livestock, lively and full of sincerity.

Nangong Ming, who received the news of Jiannan Palace, arranged military affairs, called his generals, immediately selected 500 elite soldiers, and arranged several servants, explained the tasks of this trip, and ordered them to pack their bags from now on and stand by at any time.

In this way, both sides have been arranged, and they can rush to the Anguo Mansion in Liangzhou to welcome their relatives as soon as Xiao Dingfeng gives an order.
