Chapter 14: No Retreat (1)

"That's right." Mrs. Ying Guo looked at the depressed Bai Chuxi meaningfully: "Because of the relationship between the two sides, she admired my grandson, so she went to ask the saint for marriage." But what about my grandson, is this not the goal? ”

Bai Chuxi was eight feet tall, and he would become shy when he was lightly tapped by his grandmother: "Grandmother made fun of me again, how could a daughter's family go to the Holy Lord to ask for this matter in person?" ”

"Yue Chu'er, this kid...... I know what I want. Mrs. Yingguo, who had white hair and frosty sideburns, looked at Bai Chuxi lovingly, hoping that he could hear something from his words, but Bai Chuxi didn't understand the deep meaning of the period, and only said: "I promised Cousin Chu'er that Beisai Kaixuan would invite my grandmother to go to Yue's house to propose marriage, but the saint suddenly gave marriage, which was really unexpected. If this news is known to Chu'er, she should think that I have lost her. ”

Mrs. Ying Guo shook the tea cup in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what do you want to do?" Do you want to resist the decree? ”

Bai Chuxi sat down: "The Bai family is full of allegiance to the imperial power, and the grandson will not do it if he is disloyal and unfilial to resist the decree." ”

"You're older, and you don't need your grandmother to make decisions for you, so you know how to deal with them. I haven't seen this Rong Er, the noble daughter of Houmen, it shouldn't be much worse. Don't be in a hurry, you might as well go and see what this girl looks like first, many things are uncertain. ”

The people outside opened the curtain and came in with a brazier and put it on Mrs. Yingguo's side, Mrs. Yingguo looked at the sparks inside, picked up the tea cup next to her and swallowed it gently: "Doesn't she have to mourn for a year?" If you really have any ideas, you should press them in your heart first, and don't rush for a moment. It can't make people think that our Baifu is arrogant and can't tolerate people in our eyes. ”

"Grandmother rest assured that the grandson will do the right thing."

Mrs. Yingguo's eyelids drooped slightly, looking very tired, and she stood up from her position with the crutch of the cane carved unicorn: "Beisai this trip, you are much calmer, and grandmother is relieved." Okay, grandmother went back to take a nap. ”

The old lady walked to the door, and the curtain had just been lifted, and the cold wind had entered the room and pounced on Bai Chuxi's face.

The second girl of the Rong family, the girl in thin clothes standing at the back door of Baining Houfu with tears in her eyes.

That girl seemed to be indifferent to everything, Bai Chuxi didn't think that Rong Changning would go to ask the saint for marriage, probably because the saint wanted to point her a good destination according to Princess Yonglu's face, right?

In the cold spring of February, the wind was blowing and the frost was drenched, Rong Changning prepared a bookcase and was ready to go to Yuefu with Rong Ruo, and before he stepped into the carriage before he left for the door, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a sentence that he had not heard for a long time: "Changning!" ”

Rong Changning looked back, the person who came just jumped off the horse, he gasped sharply, his expression was soft like autumn water, and he looked at Rong Changning politely: "Changning." ”

Rong Changning also smiled back, revealing a mouthful of shell teeth and saluting: "Leave the grudge brother." ”

Liren gasped lightly, as if he had forgotten that Rong Changning had just been married, and only cared about being happy to see each other again, and smiled at the corner of his lips: "Originally, I should have arrived at the house yesterday, but some things were delayed." ”

"Brother Li's grievances have been running all the way, rest in the house today, and go to Yue's private school with us tomorrow."

Li Yan hurriedly shook his head: "A day or two away, what's so tiring about it?" In the first lesson after the year, I didn't want to be left behind. ”

Rong Ruo walked out of the mansion with his entourage, and was overjoyed when he saw that he was close to the second sister, so he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Rong Changning came back to his senses after hearing this, took half a step back, and remembered that Rong Changning at this moment was not just the little girl who ran around under the Yuehua tree with her, she was also the prospective daughter-in-law of the Bai family's long house.

"I was ......"

Liren wanted to say that he originally wanted to ask his father to go to Baining Houfu to propose marriage after the New Year, but before he could say it, he didn't interrupt Rongruo: "Brother Lihu!" ”

Rong Changning understood his thoughts, but he also had to turn around and get into the car, trying to make himself appear more resolute.

Xiao Dong got into the car, still holding a paper bag in his hand, sat next to Rong Changning and handed her the paper bag: "Miss, the one that Gongzi called you, chestnut candy." ”

Rong Changning lowered his eyes and took the paper bag, opened it and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and a sweet smell lingered in his mouth.

"The divorced prince should have known about the marriage given by the Holy Lord."

"Hmm." Thinking of the unnatural look on his grievance just now, Rong Changning guessed it.

Seeing that Rong Changning was expressionless, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, so Xiao Dong didn't say much and sat quietly on the side.

Yue Yongzhi, the son of the Yue family at the gate of Yue's mansion, came early to greet him, standing there politely and politely, full of bookish air, as if he was soaked in bone marrow by the fragrance of books.

Seeing Rong Ruoxian, he waved his hand and saluted: "Yongzhi has been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the elder sister of the Rong family and the brother who left home." ”

After saying that, Rong Ruo unceremoniously hooked his shoulders with the son-in-law and walked in: "I think you want to see my second sister, I can tell you, don't look at it blindly, my second sister Xu is a family." Your cousin, Bai Chuxi! ”

Yue Yongzhi couldn't help blushing and raised his hand to Rong Ruo: "Your mouth, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm here to greet you." Don't make me look like a prodigal. On the second day of the Holy Decree, my cousin came to the house, can I not know? ”

"Is the general here today?"

Yue Yong stretched out his hand and grabbed Rong Ruo and asked in a low voice: "Didn't my brother who left home say that he was going to the Hou Mansion to propose his marriage a few years ago?" ”

Rong Ruo shook his head helplessly: "This matter is a long story. ”

Rong Changning saw the two of them walking away, and knew in his heart that Rong Ruo knew what to say and what not to say, so he was not in a hurry to follow, and walked in with Xiao Dong who was familiar with the way, and was by her side without saying a word.

Walking to the depths of the cloister and just around the corner, a cute and petite little girl, with big round eyes flickering and blinking, a snow-white collar clustered on her face, innocent and lively jumping out.

Rong Changning didn't see her appearance clearly, he only knew that it was a small pink ball that hit him, and he didn't even stand firm with himself, and he was lifted up by the grievance and stood firmly beside him.

"Eh!" Xiao Dong exclaimed: "Whose young lady is this, why don't you look at the dots when walking?" ”

Rong Changning raised his eyes, only to see a big hand helping the little girl on the ground up, the arms were indigo cuffs, and this person was still wearing the Xuanhu Daqi given by the emperor. Looking up again, there are those clean eyes.

This person is Rong Changning's fiancΓ© Bai Chuxi.

The four eyes met, Rong Changning lowered his eyes and saluted first: "I've seen the general." ”

Bai Chuxi's face couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, he raised his eyes to look at the resentment behind Rong Changning, and then returned the salute: "Miss Rong Er." ”

"You are Brother Chu's wife who has not passed through the door." The little girl who had just been helped up looked at Rong Changning with interest, and she did not shy away from calling Bai Chuxi: "I am Yue Chu'er, and I am my compatriot brother who just passed." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Yue Yongzhi who was far away.

When her mother was there, she sent her three sisters and brothers to study in Yue's mansion early, and Rong Ruo and the son of the Yue family have also been friends since childhood, but this Yue Chuer has really never seen it.

"This is ......" Yue Chu'er suddenly drew her gaze to Liren: "Is it the elder brother of the Rong family?" It seems that Sister Rong is very intimate. ”

This sentence made Rong Changning's face a little unpleasant, but he just replied with a smile: "My father is a son who left Beixun and left his family. ”

"Beixun left home?" Yue Chu'er wanted to ask something, but Rong Changning didn't give her a chance, and said lightly: "It's not early, it's better not to ask the master to wait for a long time." ”

After speaking, he didn't linger any longer, and chased Rong Ruo to leave first.

"Yue Chu'er, Bai Chuxi, the relationship between the two people is extraordinary when you hear the name." The resentment seemed to be unintentionally reminded, but Rong Changning just smiled and pretended to be confused: "The names of my cousins don't need to be shy about something.

Compared with Yue Chu'er, Rong Changning really seems to be quiet and incomprehensible.

Yue Chu'er, who was standing beside Bai Chuxi, did not change his face, and Shi Shiran said: "The peach leaves reflect the red flowers, and the wind is graceful. In the past, I always heard people say that Miss Rong Er of Baining Houfu is like a fairy among people, and it is indeed extraordinary when I see it today. I can imagine the warmth of Brother Chu and her husband and wife. ”

Yue Chu'er's words changed, her voice seemed a little desolate, and she sighed lightly, so that people could hear how disappointed she was when she heard it.

Bai Chuxi heard her words in her heart, and followed behind Yue Chu'er silently, still speculating in her heart whether the man next to Rong Changning was the person she liked, maybe she also had the same heart as herself, and she was also blocked by this sword holy decree.

Rong Xin saw all this clearly in the distance, and secretly muttered to Rong Xin: "How do you feel that the relationship between this great general and Yue Chu'er is extraordinary?" It doesn't look like an ordinary brother and sister. ”

"It's not like a brother and sister, what does it have to do with a sister?" Rong Xin said this in a stingy voice, Rong Xin felt very happy when he heard it, and turned his head to look at his brother angrily like Aunt Xu: "Whose belly did you crawl out of?!" ”

Rong Yu pursed his lips in a panic and walked forward.

It was cold outside, and it wasn't much warm inside. According to what the Master said: Cold can sharpen the mind.

Yue Chu'er, who was sitting in front, was so cold that she kept rubbing her fingers, and Bai Chuxi saw that he threw his big to her next. The people sitting in front of the desk had no intention of writing, looking at Bai Chuxi and Rong Changning.

And Rong Changning sat quietly behind Rong Ruo, even if the ring ruler fell on Rong Ruo's palm, he was as steady as a mountain, and listened to his younger brother being beaten without blinking.

Yue Chu'er on the side was very frightened, every time the master walked in front of Bai Chuxi and Yue Yongzhi with a ring ruler, she was as nervous as a little rabbit.

Except for Rong Ruo and Rong Changning, everyone had their own thoughts and didn't listen well.

It's just that Bai Chuxi threw a big blow at Yue Chu'er, and the atmosphere made people feel delicate enough.

Until the school dispersed, Rong Ruo was left by the master to endorse the book, Rong Changning and Liren Xiaodong waited outside with a bookcase, and they didn't dare to leave for a moment with their hands on the stove.

Yue Yongzhi saw it and came over: "Sister Rong, leave the son." ”
