Since returning from the palace that day, Xie Yanhe has lived a few quiet days. On the Gu family's side, she had already repaired a book, and she didn't know if her grandmother and uncle had received it.

The Gu family has been a high-ranking official, full of nobles; My grandfather is a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is full of peaches and plums. At that time, his father was only the second son of a prince in the Guogong Mansion, and when he was playing in Jiangnan, he fell in love with his mother at first sight. It took a lot of effort for my father to marry my mother.

In terms of identity, the identities of father and mother do not match. If it weren't for my grandfather's talent, there would not be this marriage. Perhaps, this is also the reason why my father would fight for a dragon skill in the first place.

Xie Yanhe retracted his mind, leaned on the big pillow in the carriage, and commanded to the pearl: "Go to Willow Garden." ”

"You and that person...... About in Willow Garden? "For a pariah like Li Mu, Pearl, like the other maids, doesn't even bother to mention their names.

"yes." Xie Yanhe hooked his lips and said quietly, "I heard that Liuyuan is a good place for unmarried couples to meet. ”

Pearl found that she was becoming more and more unable to understand the county lord. Could it be that the county lord really plans to marry into the bitter cold land of Liaodong? Isn't the county lord's business in the past three years burned down? !

Pearl filled the cup with tea, handed it to Xie Yanhe with both hands, and said in a cautious tone: "County Lord, the old lady of the Gu family likes you the most, if you let the old lady know......

Xie Yanhe suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Mouthy!" ”

Her grandmother's family treated her well, and she must not drag the Gu family into this muddy water.

"The slave is guilty." Pearl stumbled.

Xie Yanhe's bright eyes were as cold as snow, and she said lightly: "If there is a next time, you don't have to follow me to serve." ”

The carriage went all the way to Liuyuan, and Xie Yanhe took the maid's arm all the way to Qingfeng Pavilion.

For today's meeting, Xie Yanhe deliberately wrapped up Liu Yuan. In the spring of March, everything recovers, and the well-designed garden is full of pleasant scenery, small bridges and flowing water, red flowers and willow green, all the way beautiful.

In the Qingfeng Pavilion, Li Mu was dressed in a stone-blue Ruyi cloud pattern robe, and his hair was tied up with an auspicious cloud head bamboo hairpin, and he was meticulously combed. He was tall, with resolute facial features, and a fairly handsome face.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in his ears, and Li Mu suddenly showed a nervous look on his face, his hands hidden under the sleeves of his robe clenched hard, and he stood up apprehensively, facing the direction of the door.

I saw a beautiful woman standing by the porch.

The woman held the flying fairy bun, and only a little emerald bird hairpin was inserted in her hair. The upper body is a snow-spun silk acacia pattern top, the lower body is paired with a scattered flower mist and green grass pleated skirt, a blue and gold shining green double-ring four-fold Ruyi pattern palace silk hangs from the waist, and a soft silver-patterned cicada yarn shawl is placed on the arm. A plain and elegant dress is fresh and natural, different customs.

Autumn water is the god jade for the bone, and the snow fat ice muscle plum is the soul.

Li Mu couldn't help but look stupid.

"Bold! Don't salute when you see our county lord! Pearl looked at Li Mu's shabby look and couldn't help but scold.

The county lord of this dynasty is Zheng Erpin, Xie Yanhe also has a title, with the grade of Li Mu. Even if he and Xie Yanhe are an unmarried couple, if they think about it seriously, they still need to give Xie Yanhe a salute.

Li Mu suddenly woke up like a dream, and he bowed down: "County lord." Most of the thoughts in my heart faded.

"Lord Li is exempt." Xie Yanhe's cherry lips curved out of a shallow arc, and his sweet voice was gentle and tactful: "It was rude for me to take the liberty of inviting Master Li to come." ”

"County Lord......" Li Mu suddenly saw his sweetheart, and his disordered heartbeat was so fast that he almost jumped out of his throat.

He froze down, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he said softly: "It is my honor that the county lord invited me to come. My word 'deep forest', the county lord called me deep forest. ”

Xie Yanhe heard this, a pair of beautiful bright eyes flashed with thousands of streamers, she curled the corners of her lips, as if she didn't hear Li Mu's words: "Lord Li, I invite you here today to marry you and me." ”

The indifferent attitude of the county lord of Yonghe made Li Mu feel like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his heart was cool and cold. It turned out that she was reluctant to marry her.

"County Lord, I really like you." Li Mu lost his father when he was young, and three years after his father's death, his mother also died. He grew up with his uncle since he was a child, and he has an independent and resolute personality.

Although Li Mu knows that there is a difference between him and the county lord of Yonghe, the two already have a marriage contract, and the county lord of Yonghe is the beauty he has been thinking about for a long time, if he gives up so simply, he will never be reconciled.

"I know that I am not worthy of the county lord in my status. But I can assure the county lord that after the county lord marries into the Li family, I will respect and love you, and there will be no difference in this life. ”

Li Mu's heartfelt words did not move Xie Yanhe, she just bent her lips meaninglessly.

Even Pearl secretly pouted with disdain.

Li Mu is a five-grade petty official, he is still a rough man in the barracks, and he can marry the county lord, which is the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, and the Li family should treat the county lord as a bodhisattva.

"Master Li, do you know ......?"

Xie Yanhe's tone paused, two crescent-like eyebrows were raised, and a glamorous face that deceived frost and snow showed a faint sneer, and she said in a manic voice: "Do you know, why did my grandmother marry me to Liaodong?" ”

The concubine of the Hou Mansion, the respect of the county lord, her grandmother is the eldest princess, and she still has the blood of the royal family flowing in her body, if there is no reason, how can she marry her own unknown name.

This is also the reason why Li Mu was once puzzled. But before the aunt proposed to herself, she had already made the reason clear and understood, Li Mu did not seek promotion, and naturally she was not afraid of offending the prince.

In fact, he has no ambitions, he only asks for "his wife and children to be hot on the kang", if he can marry the lord of Yonghe County, what if he stays in Liaodong for the rest of his life.

The ever-changing expression on Li Mu's face naturally did not escape Xie Yanhe's eyes, it seemed that he already knew.

Xie Yanhe had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

This person rose to the fifth grade with his own ability in his twenties, his uncle is the Huaihua general of the third grade, and his aunt is the county lord of Jinghua who was born in the palace of Chengjun, with the support of his uncle's family, the future is definitely not only the current achievement, but once he marries himself, he is afraid that he will stop at the fifth grade for the rest of his life.

Even so, does he have no grievances?

"Lord Li, I have a deep grudge with the crown princess Chen." This Li Mu doesn't look like a stupid person, Xie Yan and the point stops.

After listening to the words of the county lord of Yonghe, Li Mu's heart, which had been frozen into ice water, immediately came to life again, like ice and snow melting, and his whole body was filled with a hot warm current.

It turned out that the county lord was worried about affecting herself, and she really thought the same, not only beautiful, but also extremely kind.

A trace of excitement welled up in Li Mu's eyes, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his plain face had a little more radiant taste.

Li Mu said with a serious face: "Don't worry, don't say that the Tiangao Emperor of Liaodong is far away, and the crown princess's hand can't reach that long; A five-grade official, I Li Mu don't have to do it. ”

Xie Yan's eyes as clear as autumn water showed a hint of surprise. In life, what man doesn't want to make a career. This plum wood...... Is it a strange thing who only loves beauty and doesn't love high positions?

No wonder her cousin would mention this marriage to her grandmother, and she thought that this Li Mu was as reluctant as herself. It turned out that she was overthinking.

"Master Li, since you already know, then I don't need to say more." Xie Yanhe said slowly.

Her mind at the moment is a little complicated and indescribable, even her own grandmother, in the face of supreme imperial power, also wants to abandon the car to protect the handsome and sacrifice her own granddaughter.

As a result, a small military attache in a border place is so responsible, for his own sake, he even does not hesitate to confront the prince of a country.

Xie Yanhe didn't believe that in addition to his parents, there were such profound emotions in the world. Or...... This is just a trap for Chen Rong?!

"Master Li, do you know...... Aunt Jinghua's whereabouts? ”

Xie Yanhe's bright eyes were crooked, and a beautiful and unparalleled face slowly bloomed into a bright smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, which made people take away their souls.

"Isn't my aunt in the palace? Truth be told, I've been busy lately...... I was busy proposing marriage, and I didn't go to visit my aunt for some days. ”

Speaking of the word "propose", a suspicious dark red appeared on Li Mu's wheat-colored face.

Although he didn't know why the county lord of Yonghe suddenly changed the topic, he still replied very patiently.

Today, he can sit face-to-face with the county lord of Yonghe and listen to the county lord of Yonghe, Li Mu is already very satisfied.

It seems that this Li Mu only knows one thing but doesn't know the other. Also, the county lord of Jinghua was thrown to Dali Temple by His Majesty, but a scandal in the royal family, it was too late to hide it.

I just don't know...... King Chengjun, who has always known current affairs, will rescue his daughter.

Xie Yanhe will not sympathize with this troubled cousin, everyone has to pay the price for what they do.

The county lord of Jinghua wanted to step on his own position, and broke his foot, Xie Yanhe could only watch the excitement and applaud.

"I just asked casually, Master Li doesn't have to take it to heart." Xie Yanhe got up from his seat, his beautiful eyes were shining, and he looked at Li Mu gently: "Lord Li, the weather is good today, let's go for a walk in the garden?" ”

Xie Yanhe's eyes were like water, his eyes were wavering, and Li Mu's heart was like a deer, almost drowning in the eyes of the county lord of Yonghe.

He stood up from his seat with a "Teng", realizing that his movements were too big, and the tips of his ears were a little embarrassed red, and he sneered: "County Lord, please first." ”

Pearl laughed out loud, and the silver bell-like smile was swaying with a hint of mockery.

What a stupid pig-like nerd!

Xie Yan swept over with a bland look, and Pearl hurriedly lowered his head respectfully. She didn't seem to see Li Mu's embarrassment, and said softly, "Master Li, let's go together." ”

The two of them walked side by side on the hand-copying verandah with carved beams and paintings, Xie Yanhe's sweet voices were softer than the spring breeze in March, and the temperature at the tips of Li Mu's ears had never dropped all the way.

"Lord Li, is this the first time you've come to the capital?"

"County Lord, I came with my father once when I was a child, and I was too young at that time to be impressed, until I ...... four years ago" A trace of nostalgia appeared on Li Mu's resolute face.

It is a flower party held by the Chengjun Wangfu, and the Chengjun King likes peony flowers, and there are many rare and famous products cultivated in the mansion.

Every year in April, the king of Chengjun will invite the people of the capital more than four grades to come to enjoy the flowers, and now the men and women are more relaxed than the previous dynasty, so they have contributed to several pairs of children. The reputation of the Chengjun Wangfu Peony Flower Association is getting louder and louder.

It was also at that time that Li Mu met the county lord of Yonghe, a noble girl known as the "Pearl of the Capital".

Li Mu even remembered clearly: On that day, the county lord of Yonghe wore a peacock pattern brocade dress with blue clouds and beads, a gold hundred butterfly moonflower skirt, a hanging hair that girls often comb, and a pair of lifelike silver-gilt inlaid treasure butterfly hairpins in his hair.

The girl stands in the spring of a garden, with flowers as the appearance, birds as the sound, the moon as the god, the willow as the state, the jade as the bone, the ice and snow as the skin, and the autumn water as the posture; Even if it is surrounded by peony flowers full of national color and fragrance, graceful and luxurious, it is not as beautiful as her.

It was that glance that made Li Mu stand in place for more than half an hour; It was also that glance that haunted him since then, and after four years, he was still unwilling to marry.

Li Mu believes that he and the county lord of Yonghe must be destined by God, and it is the sincerity of the gods and Buddhas who miss him, so that the two of them can overcome all difficulties, abandon the barriers of identity and distance, and draw a red line.

"Master Li?" Xie Yan frowned slightly. This person is also too rude, and when he talks to himself, he can also be distracted.

A gentle and sweet call broke the spell on Li Mu's body, and he explained apologetically as if he had just woken up from a dream: "County Lord, I'm really sorry, I just got distracted." ”

Li Mu thought that if the county lord asked him about the reason for his distraction, he would definitely tell the truth.

However, Li Mu thought too much.

Xie Yanhe paused, a shallow pear vortex appeared on her lips, and she said gently, "What is Lord Li's impression of the capital?" ”

Li Mu's heart was disappointed for a while, he quickly restrained his emotions, and his deep voice revealed an obvious tenderness: "Back to the county lord, I think the scenery of the capital is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful." ”

This disciple! Xie Yanhe frowned silently.
