In the eighth year of Yanqing, the Tatars came to attack, Xiao Chengzong ignored the opposition of the ministers, drove the personal expedition, went out of the Yongguan to fight against the Tatars, was accidentally captured, the defender of the Snow City Feng Guorui was killed in battle, the Tatars broke through the pass, occupied Liangzhou Wei, destroyed the Feng family, and the history called the Juyong Pass a great change.

At that time, Ning Shenzhi, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, united with the Empress Dowager Zhang, the chief eunuch Lian Cheng and the first assistant Miao Yandao to stabilize the situation, and the Tatar Xuan and the Snake negotiated peace talks, and he led his elite to run thousands of miles to infiltrate Liangzhou and rescue Xiaochengzong.

After rescuing Xiaochengzong, the eighteen-year-old Ning Shenzhi took advantage of this great achievement to stabilize the chaos in Beijing, subdued the ministers, and raised the whole country's troops to Liangzhou, which was bound to destroy the Tatars and remove the national shame.

Humiliation and then strong, mourning soldiers will win, Ning Shenzhi personally in command, Feng Jiang, a branch of the Feng family, is a general, a great victory, kill 5,000 Tatar cavalry, and then win a complete victory, kill nearly 10,000 Tatar soldiers, known as the great victory of Juyong Pass in history.

The Tatars were defeated twice, and the adult men of the country were left in five or six places, and fled into the depths of the steppe desert.

Ning Shenzhi took the power of the two wars, and everywhere he went, the Tatars were frightened, and drove the Tatars to the north of Hangai Mountain before collecting troops and returning to Beijing, bringing back cattle, sheep, horses, property, and countless prisoners.

Ning Shenzhi then sat firmly in the position of the first person in Daxiao with such a monstrous achievement, no one dared to pry him, Xiao Chengzong originally relied on and trusted him, and then he relied on it wholeheartedly and obeyed his words.

After Ning Shenzhi returned from a great victory, Xiao Chengzong wanted to reward him aggressively, but Ning Shenzhi said that he was already the king of the second rank of the county at a young age, and he was really a holy grace, so he didn't dare to ask for a reward, but only asked Xiao Chengzong to bury the bones of the Feng family, and treat the only relic of the Feng family's descendants, his cousin Feng Zhinan.

Xiaochengzong then named Feng Zhinan as the princess of Chiyang, divided the entire Chiyang into the fief of Feng Zhinan, and rewarded countless gold, silver and jewelry.

Only Ning Shenzhi is too young, only eighteen years old, and he hasn't even made a marriage.

Even if he hurriedly held a so-called crown ceremony before the expedition, it can't change the fact that he hasn't even reached the age of the crown and hasn't married yet!

After the crisis, no matter how much Xiao Chengzong relied on trust, he still aroused a lot of doubts and criticism.

Qiu Xiyin didn't care much about these national affairs, and only listened to a few ears from the chatter of the ladies and ladies, and what they talked about the most was naturally that he suppressed his doubts in order to stabilize the situation, and quickly married Yan Shoufu's eldest granddaughter, but he didn't know anything else.

Thinking that he can stake his own family affairs to stabilize the situation, it is not a strange thing to turn around and intersect with the widely sought-after Xie family.

Although the little uncle is smart, he is only a teenager in the end, and he is not deeply involved in the world, so he is temporarily confused by his appearance and aura, and it is not surprising to be friendly with him.

However, the little uncle is the little uncle after all, and after a long time, Ning Shenzhi naturally can't deceive him all the time, so the friendship between the two slowly fades.

When she came to her uncle in her last life, the two basically had no contact, so she didn't know about this past.

Qiu Xiyin figured out this section, and was greatly relieved, so he no longer cared about Ning Shenzhi, and said, "Since the eldest cousin is in the back garden, let's go to the Chongguang courtyard to take a walk, lest I go to my cousin's door in the future and don't know the way."

Xie Jiashu readily agreed, and asked her if she was tired of walking and if she wanted to slide the pole, Qiu Xiyin shook his head, and the two of them went to the outer courtyard along the corridor in Xie's mansion in all directions.

The two went to Chongguang Courtyard to enjoy it, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Xie Jiashu invited Qiu Xiyin to have dinner in Chongguang Courtyard, and after dinner, Qiu Xiyin proposed to borrow a few books from him.

Xie Jiashu took her to Lixue Pavilion to find a book, Qiu Xiyin picked two painting books, a few solitary books that recorded strange things, and a medical book.

Xie Jiashu picked out some paper and ink and other things for her to use temporarily, and the two of them went to Liuyun Courtyard together.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were neatly arranged red lanterns burning at a distance of about five feet on both sides of the Xie Fu road, but the green pothos was still afraid that the two would fall, so she brought a glass wind lantern to Xie Jiashu to guide the way, and gave Huang Xiu another one.

I didn't want the two of them to just walk to the Hanging Flower Gate, but they happened to bump into Ning Shenzhi and Xie Jiamu who were coming on.

Qiu Xiyin hurriedly lowered his head and saluted with Xie Jiashu, secretly screaming bad luck, and when he came out to visit the garden, he ran into two trips back and forth!

Both of them should have drunk wine, and as soon as they got closer, there was a light smell of wine, and a faint fragrance of orchids.

Ning Shenzhi didn't speak again after saying goodbye, but Xie Jiamu seemed to be very interested in Xie Jiashu and Qiu Xiyin still hanging out so late, and asked a few questions.

Xie Jiashu replied respectfully one by one, Xie Jiamu said with a smile, "Third cousin, your fourth cousin has always been a disobedient person, but I didn't expect to fall in love with my third cousin like this, and my third cousin can accompany your fourth cousin to talk and play, so as not to read books all day and become a nerd."

Fate, yes, fate, she doesn't think she is outstanding, but Xie Jiashu in the two lives quickly looked at her differently, except for the word fate, she couldn't think of any other reasons.

Qiu Xiyin leaned over and said tepidly, "Big cousin made fun of it."

If it was usual, Xie Jiamu said that this was the extreme, and he would let them go back to sleep quickly, and don't wander outside at night.

But today, maybe he drank wine, maybe he was in a good mood, Qiu Xiyin's words were tepid, and he could even be called a little estranged, which made him laugh.

"The third cousin is really the same as your second sister said, and at a young age, she has the air of a book, which makes people feel pity at first sight."

He raised his hand and twisted his eyebrows, and laughed, "Don't blame the third cousin, my cousin drank a lot today, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of words, I will set up a banquet for the third cousin and the fourth brother another day, and the fourth cousin must appreciate his face at that time."

Qiu Xiyin had no choice but to salute, "Big cousin bothered."

Xie Jiamu shook his head again, and said to Ning Shenzhi, "King Jun, let's go."

Xie Jiashu and Qiu Xiyin leaned over and bowed their heads to send them off, Xie Jiamu took a few steps, suddenly turned around and put something in his hand into Qiu Xiyin's hairpin, looked up and down, and said with a smile, "The third cousin has already shown her delicate posture at a young age, and it is a good match with this Mo Lan, go, you just recovered from your illness, don't be greedy for fun, rest early."

winked at her and Xie Jiashu again, "Don't go and sue your uncle."

Qiu Xiyin had to salute and thank him again, and after Xie Jiamu and the others walked away, they took off the Mo Lan from the bun, but it was a milky white Huaguang butterfly with dark red spots.

It is not easy to cultivate this Huaguang butterfly, and often ten seedlings may not survive one, no wonder Xie Jiamu will tell them not to "complain" to Xie Tanwei!

If Xie Tanwei knew, it was estimated that Xie Jiamu would be able to fertilize his baby flowers for a month!

Xie Jiamu definitely drank too much today, otherwise he would never have made such a move no matter how happy he was.

Xie Jiashu spoke, "Although this Huaguang butterfly is precious, it is really ugly."

Qiu Xiyin, "......"

In her previous life, why didn't she find that Xie Jiashu's heart was so small, Xie Jiamu teased her with a flower as a "little" girl, and he had to say that Huaguang Butterfly was ugly.

She pretended not to understand Xie Jiashu's words, took the Huaguang butterfly in her hand, and didn't put it on the hairpin again, and said indifferently, "It's not good-looking, then don't wear it."

The corners of Xie Jiashu's mouth quickly pursed a smile, and quickly pressed it down, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, and in the warm light of the red lantern, it became more and more that his eyes seemed to be deep and boundless.

Qiu Xiyin glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, it's so good, in this life, they are still by her side, and everything is still in time......
