Walking into the stone table, the two played the mountains and rivers together, and every time a rhythm came out of her hand, Zhang Jinxiu loved the score even more, and felt that every time she plucked not only the strings, but also her heart.

She doesn't like to make friends, Xu feels that the people around her are too pretentious, so she has never had a close friend since she was a child, and a few people who can talk are just ordinary walks, like Bai Chuxia, who can make friends, is still the first.

Since listening to her play the song of mountains and rivers yesterday, she likes her from the bottom of her heart, and feels that she is her confidant.

It was not a whim to give Feng Luan to her, it was deliberate by her, she liked her, and regarded her as her first confidant and first friend.

Thinking about it, she was very happy that she also had friends.

Looking at the two young ladies in front of them, playing the tune so harmoniously, Begonia and Chunlan looked at each other and smiled, they had never seen the young lady so happy.

At this moment, at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xuanyuan Ming had just gotten off the carriage, and after Xiao Si saw it at the door, one of Xiao Si immediately ran to the mansion to inform Bai Junxiong to go, while the other Xiao Si stepped forward and leaned over, "Lord Wang, please wait a moment, the slave has already sent someone to inform the master." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Junxiong walked out of the mansion quickly, walked in front of Xuanyuan Mingde, leaned over and said, "I don't know that Prince Ming is coming, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and I ask Prince Ming to forgive me." ”

"It's okay," Xuanyuan Ming opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it twice, looking as warm as jade, and said loudly, "It's this king who is bothering today." ”

"The prince is serious," Bai Junxiong turned around and stretched out his hand to the mansion as an invitation, "The prince invites you to enter the mansion." ”

"Prime Minister, please." Closing the folding fan, Xuanyuan Ming took the lead in entering the house.

Bai Junxiong followed into the mansion, directly introduced the front hall, let the maid serve tea, and said, "I don't know what is the important matter for the prince to come today?" ”

Xuanyuan Ming picked up the tea that the maid had just served, took a sip, and said, "Today, this king wants to discuss with the prime minister about the marriage with Chu'er. ”

"Now Chu'er has reached the end of the marriage, and he can get married, and the king has also made it clear to his father, and his father has agreed, and today this king is coming, even if he wants to set a date for marriage with the prime minister, and the details of the dowry.

"Well, my lord, that's right." Hearing Xuanyuan Ming talk about marriage, Bai Junxiong was a little surprised, he just met yesterday, and he mentioned marriage today, so quickly.

explained, "Since Chu Xia's grandmother has passed away for just over a year, according to common etiquette, Chu Xia should be filial piety, and it is really not suitable to get married now." ”

Hearing Bai Junxiong's words, Xuanyuan Ming's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Then according to common etiquette, wouldn't it be necessary to wait for another two years?" ”

If so, it would be too long, and his plan was to get married in three months.

"Yes, my lord." Bai Junxiong nodded.

"Is this what Chu'er means, or what the prime minister means." Xuanyuan Ming asked.

"It was Chu Xia who had a deep affection for her grandmother, so she mentioned it to her subordinates." Bai Junxiong replied.

He didn't want to carry this pot for Bai Chuxia, he just wanted to leave a good name in the eyes of the world and the king, and she still had to bear the anger of this Ming prince!

"Can I let this king see Chu'er?" He wanted to tell her in person, he wanted her to change her mind, and he didn't want to wait so long.

"Of course," Bai Junxiong turned to the maid beside him and said, "Go and invite the eldest lady over." ”

"Yes, sir."

Watching the maid leave, Bai Junxiong smirked at Xuanyuan Ming, "Lord wait a moment." ”

"Hmm." Picking up the tea on the table next to him, Xuanyuan Ming took a sip, his heart was quite depressed, he thought that he would go according to his plan today, but he didn't expect that he would jump out of the matter of keeping filial piety.

In fact, this filial piety for three years, you can not keep it, if you don't keep it, no one will say anything, but if you insist on keeping it, he will definitely have no way, even if it goes to his father, his father will not say anything, after all, she is filial piety for her grandmother.

All along, he thought that she would be very eager to marry him, but now it seems that she is not in a hurry to marry him, and there must be some reason for this.

Thinking of what she said to him yesterday, her eyes darkened, could it be related to Bai Wanxia.

Bai Chuxia and Zhang Jinxiu were still playing the piano, when a maid entered the courtyard, and saw that the people in the courtyard were immersed in the sound of the piano, stepped forward and pulled down the sleeves of Begonia, raised her feet, and said to her ear, "The master asked the young lady to go to the front hall, and the prince Ming came." ”

Then Haitang stepped forward and leaned over to Bai Wanxia's ear, "Miss, the master asked you to go to the front hall, saying that Lord Ming is here." ”

"Okay, I got it." At this time, the two finished playing a song, Bai Chuxia looked at Zhang Jinxiu and said, "Jinxiu, you practice first, I'll come when I go." ”

"Chu Xia, if you have something to do, go get busy first! Don't worry about me. Zhang Jinxiu said with a smile.

Smiling calmly at Zhang Jinxiu, Bai Chuxia led Begonia away.

Looking at her leaving, Zhang Jinxiu continued to talk about her piano.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Bai Chuxia saw Xuanyuan Ming and Bai Junxiong sitting and drinking tea, and stepped forward to bow down, "I've seen Lord Ming, father." ”

Seeing the figure of his thoughts, Xuanyuan Ming hurriedly put down the tea in his hand, got up and stepped forward, "Chu'er doesn't have to be polite," and then turned to Bai Junxiong and said, "Prime Minister, can you let this king and Chu'er say a few words alone?" ”

"Of course you can," Bai Junxiong leaned over at Xuanyuan Ming, "Then the lower official will retire first." With that, he left.

It wasn't until Bai Junxiong's figure disappeared that Xuanyuan Ming turned to look at Bai Chuxia, "Chu'er, today this king originally wanted to come to talk to the prime minister about marrying you, but your father said that you should keep the three-year filial piety period for your grandmother. ”

"Yes Lord Wang," nodded Bai Chuxia pretending to be worried, "Grandmother has only passed away for a year, and if I am allowed to get married now, I will be at peace." ”

"But it will take two more years, if we finish the filial piety period, we will have two more years to get married, this king, I can't wait to marry you now." Xuanyuan Ming was a little anxious.

"Prince, thanks to the king's suggestion, I have the opportunity to marry the prince, and I originally planned that if the prince is willing, I will marry the prince after the marriage." Bai Chuxia paused slightly, his face was embarrassed, and then said, "But just yesterday, when I saw my sister's deep affection for the prince, and remembered what my sister said to me the night before, I hesitated. ”

"What did Bai Wanxia say to you?" Xuanyuan Ming was a little nervous, he didn't know what Bai Wanxia said to her.

"Lord Wang, let me ask you," turning to look at Xuanyuan Ming's eyes, Bai Chuxia showed a rather serious expression, "My sister told me that she has already been married to you, right?" ”

Boom –

Xuanyuan Ming felt that his face turned pale, and he scolded secretly in his heart, how could Bai Wanxia, a stupid woman, even say this, and hurriedly denied it, "Chu'er must not listen to her nonsense, this king has nothing to do with her, it is she who wants to seduce this king, but she is rejected by this king, she is sowing discord, and this king will never like her." ”

"But I've been on good terms with my sister since I was a child, and she won't lie to me." Bai Chuxia shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

She wouldn't believe that he would tell the truth, in the last life, just before she died, Bai Wanxia told her everything, saying that she gave her body to Xuanyuan Ming at the age of fourteen, but she didn't expect her to let go like this. dang, even dared to fornicate with others before he was ready.

"Really Chu'er, this king really has nothing to do with her, you have to believe me, Bai Wanxia is very scheming, don't believe her, she is sowing discord, she doesn't want you to marry this king."

When she said this, Xuanyuan Ming showed a serious face, if it weren't for Bai Chuxia's relife, she would definitely be deceived by him.

"Well, since the prince says so, I will believe you." Nodding, Bai Chuxia continued very sincerely, "It's just that I didn't expect to get into the current situation with my sister, I originally said that if the prince really likes my sister, I will fulfill it, but now it seems that this is just my sister's unrequited love." ”

"However, I haven't seen much with the prince since I was a child, and I don't have any feelings with the prince, even if the prince has nothing for my sister, my heart is also depressed, it just so happens that by taking advantage of my grandmother's filial piety, I and the prince will draw up a gentleman's agreement, I have waited for the prince for fifteen years, the prince has waited for me for two years, and as soon as the grandmother's filial piety period passes, we will immediately get married, during which we will cultivate a good relationship?"

"But this king doesn't want to wait." Xuanyuan Ming was a little hesitant, he had to wait for two years, it was too long!

"Prince, instead of asking for a wife who has no feelings, doesn't the prince want a wife who is in love with him? Besides, I envy the hand of the son and the relationship between the son and the son. Bai Chuxia seduced.

Xuanyuan Ming saw that Bai Chuxia was serious and wanted to cultivate a relationship with him, so he could only agree.

"Okay, since Chu'er has said so, then the king will wait for you for these two years, and as soon as the filial piety period is over, we will get married immediately."

Seeing that Xuanyuan Ming agreed, Bai Chuxia continued, "Then can the prince promise me, during this period, don't have any dealings with my sister, I'm a person, I don't want to give feelings to anyone, if I want to cultivate feelings with the prince now, I definitely hope that the prince can be sincere with me during this period, and don't have anything to do with my sister." ”

"I promise you." Xuanyuan Ming nodded in agreement.

Originally, he was with Bai Wanxia because her title of the first beauty in Eastern Qin could make his face shine, but now Bai Chuxia is obviously above her both in appearance and heart, and he doesn't want to have any more dealings with her.

"Thank you, Lord Wang," seeing that the goal was achieved, Bai Chuxia showed a faint smile, so that people couldn't see her emotions, "Lord Wang, Miss Zhang is still in my courtyard, so I'll go back first." ”

"Is it the daughter of Zhang Wenxian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" Hearing that it was Miss Zhang, Xuanyuan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Exactly." Bai Chuxia nodded.

"Chu'er is very good with her?" At this time, Xuanyuan Ming had already thought of another way to win over Zhang Wenxian.

"We are confidants, Lord Wang, Miss Zhang and I met for the first time yesterday, Miss Zhang is very fond of piano art, Miss Zhang and I are friends with the piano." Bai Chuxia explained.

She knew what Xuanyuan Ming was thinking, he wanted to win over the waiter of the Ministry of Rites through her relationship with Jinxiu, he was a person who would definitely use all the people he could use to get the result he wanted, but unfortunately, she didn't see through him before.

"Well, then let's get in touch with Miss Zhang, let's go!" For Bai Chuxia's answer, Xuanyuan Ming was very satisfied.

"It's the prince."

Nodding, Bai Chuxia leaned over at Xuanyuan Ming, then turned to leave.

Looking at the figure of Bai Chuxia leaving, Xuanyuan Ming fell into deep thought, and secretly thought in his heart what method could be used to use the relationship between Bai Chuxia and Zhang Jinxiu to win over the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

He has thrown an olive branch to Zhang Wenxian many times, but this person's personality is too rigid, and he doesn't agree to his wooing, so he is very annoyed, and now that he has Bai Chuxia's relationship, he must grasp it well.
