When he went down, Xiao He walked behind, deliberately stopped under the corridor, and at a glance, there was a group of courtiers on the road who followed Li Zhaoting, which was nothing more than an afterthought, saying some flattering words.

This situation made Xiao He laugh, but he heard someone behind him ask: "Why is Lord Xiao laughing, so that the old man can also have fun." ”

Xiao He looked back, and the speaker was Zuo Chengliu Shenming. Xiao He arched his hand and said: "Liu Xiang, Xia Guan just saw the normalcy of the world and thought it was interesting for a while. ”

"Interesting?" Liu Shenming repeated.

Xiao He smiled lightly and said: "The love of colleagues is deep and forgiving, and the human affection is overturned like waves. Prime Minister Bai knew that he was still pressing the sword, and Zhu Men Xianda smiled and played the crown. The grass is all wet by drizzle, and the flowers and branches are about to move in the spring breeze. What is the reason why the clouds of the world are enough to ask, it is better to lie down and look down. ”

Liu Shen heard it, and suddenly felt that Xiao He was not a simple person, he obviously had a pair of discerning eyes, and swept away the filth of officialdom at a glance, but it was rare to be calm, just smiling, not like other young descendants, or losing their hearts early, or being too extreme and cynical.

He bowed slightly, twisted his beard and paced first.

Xiao He was also about to step down the steps, Duan Heng followed from behind, his face was cloudy, and his expression came together, not knowing whether he had a bitter face or a smiling face. Xiao He turned his head to the side and asked him, "Shizi, has you stepped on?" ”

Duan Hengcai sighed: "It's almost there." First of all, His Majesty called me and said that after the beginning of the year, I would officially announce that I would inherit my father's throne. ”

Xiao He raised his eyebrows and hugged his fist at Duan Heng, "Then Xiao is going to say congratulations first, and he will soon change his name to you as the prince." ”

Duan Heng sighed: "Where does the joy come from, I'm afraid that my leisurely days will come to an end in the future." ”

Xiao He smiled, "Isn't the leisurely life of the prince already over?" ”

Duan Heng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Xiao He, Xiao He, why do you want to expose me in everything?" ”

"Everything is ruthless, love to expose people's shortcomings, this seems to say the prince, oh no, you will be the prince in the future." Xiao He smiled even deeper.

Duan Heng straightened his face and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to build a Jixian Hall in the palace, and it seems that it is almost cleaned up." Someone seems to be going to the palace on an errand, oops, I look at this near the water, maybe after a while, I can still climb a relative with you. ”

Xiao He listened to his tone of not opening which pot to mention, and he was also a little worried in his heart. Not to mention Mu Churan's ambiguous attitude, just Mu Qingwan's eager eyes, Xiao He couldn't bear it, and his days in the palace would be a little difficult in the future.

She tilted her head and glared at Duan Heng, "You are eating abalone cucumber at home, but you can't see poor people drinking gruel." Don't leave it for anyone else! ”

"Okay, I'm still angry. Walk! I invite you to go and have a drink for a long time, as an atonement. Duan Heng waved his sleeves and said domineeringly.

Xiao He snorted, if he didn't slaughter him at this time, he would still have to give gifts later, and he still had a full posture on his lips, but his body was very honest. She really missed the food and wine for a long time.

Xiao He first went back to the house to change into his regular clothes, and then brought Hongzhu and Han Dong brothers, and went to the long time together, and asked the sea to eat Duan Heng for a meal. Duan Heng thought he was coming alone, but when he saw that he had brought a group of people over, he shook his head and smiled.

"What? Are you not allowed to bring your family here? Xiao He asked deliberately.

Duan Heng had to nod and smile, "How can it be, come, Lord Xiao, please go upstairs." ”

Xiao He was not greedy, so he picked up the most expensive dishes and ordered more than a dozen dishes, and ordered seven or eight Jiuzhou dishes, which were characteristic for a long time, with more meat and less vegetables, and cold dishes and hot soups.

"Can you finish eating?" Duan Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"If I can't finish eating, I'll take it back, anyway, I'm familiar with this chef, and I'll send him the plate back another day." Xiao He had this idea, and he ate leftovers for the next two days.

It actually proved that Duan Heng also underestimated their combat effectiveness, when the dish was served slowly, it would be solved immediately like a whirlwind and clouds, and it would only take a moment to get on it quickly. Duan Heng was carrying chopsticks, there was a dish, he only ate one bite, and when he raised his hand and tried to hold another chopstick, there was only a plate of bones left.

"You're too mean, you're a subordinate, you haven't eaten for a few days and brought it out to satisfy your hunger!" Duan Heng can be regarded as a long insight.

The brothers of the Han family already have a big appetite, and they have been training the government soldiers recently, and they are so tired that they can't eat enough every day, and they finally catch up with the opportunity to let go of their bellies and eat, so naturally they will never let go.

"Shizi really likes to joke, aren't we giving you face, everyone is happy, it means that you take good care of you, and the guests and hosts are happy?" Xiao He smiled, and also learned from Duan Heng to pull out some crooked reasoning.

Her smile was really like a room of flowers blooming, and the house was full of brilliance in an instant, which made Duan Heng stunned for a while. Some people smile sincerely, some laugh obscenely, and some laugh like fireworks, which can't help but light up the surroundings.

Xiao He was the latter, she didn't notice anything, she just knocked the bowl in front of Duan Heng with chopsticks, "What are you in a daze, don't you bring a money bag?" Duan Heng suddenly found an excuse, and prevaricated: "No, it's just that I heard you say that the guests and hosts are happy, it really makes sense." ”

After saying that, his gaze fell on Xiao He's face carefully, even when he wasn't smiling, it was so bright. Duan Heng was shocked, he was confused, he was dizzy after a few glasses of wine, and he actually used the word bright to describe his brother. He quickly pinched the wine glass and poured himself a few more times to relieve the embarrassment.

A few days later, Xiao He invited Duan Heng again, which was regarded as a courtesy.

It's just that she is much more angry, and in order to save money, she even took Duan Heng to the noodle stall at the market entrance of the East Market to eat a bowl of noodles. However, Duan Heng didn't care a lot, and his willingness to ask himself to come out was enough.

The two were eating sour noodle soup when they heard someone shouting on the side, "There are people in front of them who are setting up a ring and competing to recruit relatives!" Come and see the excitement! ”

Duan Heng's curiosity came, and after finishing the noodles in the bowl in two bites, he said to Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, eat quickly, and we will go to join in the fun after eating." ”

"Could it be that you still want to come back than a daughter-in-law?" Xiao He didn't care too much, it didn't matter if it was so lively.

As a result, she was still half-pulled and half-dragged by Duan Heng and squeezed into the crowd.

The ring was placed in front of a stage on Suzaku Avenue in the middle of the East and West Cities, and it was strange to say that no one explained which lady was recruiting relatives here, but there were four rough men standing on the stage, waiting for someone to challenge.

There were more and more people, and Xiao He in the front row was a little unstable, and Duan Heng stretched out his arm to help him block the crowd behind him. For a while, the two of them were pushed by the crowd, leaning together, and their posture became a little ambiguous, as if Xiao He was being held by Duan Heng on his shoulders.

Xiao He's cheeks burned slightly, and she wanted to distance herself, but she was immediately pushed by the crowd behind her, causing her to fall into Duan Heng's arms again. Duan Heng stood firmly, only stretched out his hand to help her slightly, and kept maintaining the posture just now like a guard.

is also helpless, who made him more than half a head taller than herself, at this time she can only rely on him to stand, so as not to rush away from the crowd, but after all, men and women are different. Xiao He had to stand slightly sideways so as not to get too close to him.

And Duan Heng could smell the faint fragrance on Xiao He's body with a slight tilt of his head at this moment, as fresh as a new lotus after the rain, but it was a little intoxicating. Duan Heng was busy straightening his mind, not letting himself be cranky anymore, looking at the stage, wondering why there was no one in charge to explain a thing or two.

At this moment, I saw a girl in a green shirt stepping out of the broken steps and walking to the front of the stage. She held the scroll in her hand, faced the crowd in the audience, untied the scroll, and unfolded the scroll with a bang, on which was a beautiful Danqing. Everyone was in an uproar, discussing how the woman in this painting looked bright and beautiful, and what could she ask for if she got this wife.

This maid is also clever, ordered someone to ring the gong, and said loudly: "This is my young lady Danqing, who wants to participate in the competition to recruit relatives, you need to solve a riddle before you can sign up." Applicants should register at the old man on the left. ”

Hulala, a large crowd crowded into front of a long table on the far left of the ring. Behind the table sat an old man with crane hair, who was not in a hurry to let people line up, one by one. Fang just took out a box and asked people to draw riddles and guess them. If you guess correctly, you can write your name on the white paper on the table, and if you don't guess, you will be asked to leave.

Duan Heng glanced at Xiao He and said with a smile: "This young lady has some meaning. ”

There were also many people in the audience who had the same idea as Duan Heng, so someone asked out loud, "Dare to ask which one is in Miss's house?" ”

The green-shirted maid raised her eyebrows, and there was a trace of unhappiness in her words, "Are you asking to marry my young lady, or my old lady?" If you have the heart to ask to marry my young lady, naturally you are not in a hurry to inquire about these, if you are really talented, you can naturally see the young lady, and she will tell her in person. ”

Listening to this girl's answer, even Xiao He felt that this young lady was really a wonderful person.

If she is in Fengguo, I am afraid that it is not surprising, but in Dayin, it is extremely rare. When men and women get married, on the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker, they all value the right match. The so-called marrying a wife and seeking a virtuous lady is just to find a hostess to manage the family business, and the requirements of small families are even less, just asking for a woman to have children. There are a few people who can really take into account the feelings of the person concerned.

The couple had only met for the first time on their wedding night, and to put it bluntly, they were just strangers, but they were only tied together so hastily for some kind of glossy reason. After a year or two, the man can take another concubine, and if his wife is dissatisfied with anything, he can divorce his wife and remarry. It is indeed a woman's sorrow.

This young lady asked her future husband not to care about her family background, but only to herself. is not only very confident in herself, but also full of expectations and longing for her future life, so Xiao He can't help but want to bless her, hoping that she can choose a lover.
