The arrival of Shen Mingze made many people look forward to it.

Especially Zhong Jinxiu, she didn't see any trace of Liang Qingyun, but she looked forward to Shen Mingze.

"The minister greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Xia Bingyu looked at him and deliberately wore his ink-colored satin robe today, revealing the trim of the silver hollow hibiscus flower inside the robe. He wore a jade belt around his waist and white deerskin boots on his feet. His jet-black hair was combed in a neat bun on the top of his head, set in a delicate crown of white jade hair, he bowed slightly, his expression was quiet and serene, and the corners of his mouth were curved into a smile, so elegant and full of sunshine, attracting the admiration of women.

However, the greeting was full of joy.

The emperor looked at him, refreshed, and had more style than the dull young man in the past.

And he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Lord Shen, what are you doing?"

Zhong Jinxiu pulled his father's sleeve again, Zhong Yong frowned slightly, and looked at his daughter.

Zhong Jinxiu whispered: "Dad, don't be angry..."

"Huh?"

Before Zhong Yong could speak, Shen Mingze said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to invite my future father-in-law to go back." ”

"Huh?"

Shen Mingze turned to look at Zhong Yong and said, "Father-in-law, my dowry has already been carried to the Zhong Mansion, and she has already accepted this aunt, and asked the little nephew to pick you up and Cousin Jinxiu back for dinner." ”

"Father-in-law? Dowry? Zhong Yong was so angry, he was about to do it when he stepped forward, but the sleeves were still being pulled, where could he care, as soon as he pulled his sleeves, he stepped forward to beat people, but Shen Mingze's kid knelt directly in front of him and said:

"I love my cousin Jinxiu deeply, and I ask my father-in-law to fulfill it."

Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward again, pulled his father's sleeve, and whispered:

"Daddy, this is the court, so many people are watching."

Xia Bingyu was angry in his heart, this kid did it on purpose... He deliberately misled himself, saying that he liked Nian Qi'er, but he wasn't.

He was always happy with Zhong Jinxiu.

And Zhong Jinxiu came to the stage to compete, also because of him Shen Mingze.

It's really hateful, and it's actually played like this. She is a dignified princess of Xixia, who has been lurking in the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, and at the age of twenty, she was actually tricked by a milky and dry boy, he is very good, and he is really getting more and more interested in himself.

Old Madam Pan looked at Shen Mingze coming over, and knew that this matter was no longer possible.

It's a pity, but I let this kid get ahead of the curve.

It's no wonder that his aunt is the eldest lady of the Zhong family, and she will always help her nephew.

She sighed lightly and said, "Hey, it seems that it's still too late for the old body." ”

She glanced at King Huan and said, "His Royal Highness King Huan, you... Take advantage of the Zhong family's girl... I'm afraid this thing won't happen, people are engaged today. ”

Zhong Yong took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has family affairs to deal with, and the minister retired first." ”

What else can the emperor say, this is already obvious, Zhong Jinxiu just subconsciously pulled his father and didn't let him do it, to put it bluntly, he was protecting Shen Mingze.

Like she had been so calm before she came, she was starting to get irritable.

Because of Shen Mingze.

Then it means that she likes Shen Mingze.

"Kneel down."

As soon as Zhong Jinxiu and the others left the administrative hall, Zhong Yong kicked Shen Mingze's buttocks and kicked him out far away.

Zhong Jinxiu was slightly afraid to look at it, but he didn't step forward to stop it.

However, this pleases Zhong Yong.

Shen Mingze patted his body, got up, stepped forward and said, "Uncle, can we go back first?" ”

Zhong Yong: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, see if I don't break your dog's legs." ”

"Yes, yes, uncle, please first."

In the administrative hall, King Huan watched them go out and wanted to raise his feet, but the emperor directly said angrily: "Xiao Ruiyi, do you still think that you are not ashamed enough?" ”

King Huan's posture trembled slightly, he really didn't expect that Shen Mingze would be so cold and hard.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Father, the son is unwilling. That Shen Mingze, it's clearly just..."He paused, glared directly at Xia Bingyu and said, "Xia Bingyu, being played by a man, you still claim to be the smartest person in Western Xia?" ”

Xia Bingyu snorted lightly, ignoring King Huan, she was still sensible, she said: "Your Majesty, if King Huan doesn't want to marry me, you can change people, I think the third prince is funny, and you can choose it." ”

"This matter has already been agreed, the princess of Xixia will marry His Royal Highness King Chaohuan, there will be no change, please go back and prepare, the wedding will be held as scheduled."

Xia Bingyu bowed his head and said, "Then the palace will retire first." ”

After Xia Bingyu left, only their father and son were left in the administrative hall.

However, the emperor didn't have a chance with King Huan at all, and said: "And my father-in-law, go and send King Huan back to the house, and take care of it." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Jinxiu returned to the mansion and was surprised by the dowry in the courtyard, from Yongxiangkou to the mansion, did he move the Shen family here?

She didn't remember that the Shen family had such a thick background.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they looked at Xiao Shen with anticipation, and when they saw them coming back, they came out to greet them with surprise and eagerness.

Xiao Shen was followed by a large family.

Zhong Yong got out of the carriage, looked at Xiao Shen, and was a little angry, and said, "Come in with me." ”

Xiao Shen looked at Zhong Jinxiu and was worried.

"Auntie, we're all fine."

"Then go in quickly, it's going to be fast."

Dine?

I'm afraid I can't.

Zhong Yong is now angry, and when he reaches this distance in the hall, he doesn't know how many things have suffered.

He said with palpitations: "Fortunately, my uncle kicked him just now, and he didn't use any force." ”

Zhong Yong arrived in the hall and directly ordered: "Zhong Fu, throw all the things in the courtyard out for me." ”

Xiao Shen said: "Brother-in-law, this child is also sincere, let..."

"Hmph, little Shen, Jinxiu is my daughter, she can marry anyone, but she can't marry the Shen family."

Generally, when her brother-in-law calls her Xiao Shen, it means that he is very angry.

Then she muttered, "Why? ”

Shen Mingze knew the reason, he took a step forward, knelt down and said, "Uncle, I know that you are worried that I will not be able to make my cousin happy, but my friendship for my cousin can be learned from heaven and earth. ”

"King Huan used his cousin today to put his cousin in danger, I don't ask my uncle to agree now, but I have to pass this level."

"......" Zhong Yong did not let go.

Zhong Jinxiu took a step forward, knelt down with Shen Mingze, and said with a serious expression: "Father, I ask you to agree to this family business." ”

"Jinxiu, is he threatening you?"

The more Zhong Yong thought about it, the more angry he became, and said, "Did he do something to you last time you were killed?" Tell me, I'll help you kill him with my own hands. ”

"Father, if he really did something to me, I would have done it myself without you doing it, but he didn't, father."

"Then why do you ????"

Zhong Jinxiu said slightly: "Father, I like him, so I want to marry him." ”

"He definitely can't..."

"Who does my father think will do? Pan Mo? I know that my father is optimistic about the second son of the Pan family, and I also appreciate the cleanliness of the Pan family, who was handled by Mrs. Pan and had no worries, but the person is not right, father. ”

Shen Mingze listened to his cousin intercede for himself, and a word was wrong, which completely subdued Shen Mingze's heart, and he was moved in his heart.

With his cousin's words, he felt that he had not lived in vain in this life.

"Uncle, although our family is a bit complicated, I definitely want to be inseparable from each other in this life."

Zhong Yong clenched his fist, released it, clenched it again, and looked at his daughter praying for a man like that, he had a lot of mixed flavors in his heart, which should not be described as a mixture.

"What if you don't have a good time in the Shen family?"

Zhong Jinxiu looked at her father and relaxed, her heart was slightly moved, her back muscles straightened slightly, looked up at her father and said: "My father is Zhong Guogong, the two elder brothers are brave, and there are younger brothers and sisters below, who dares to let me live badly?" The people who let me live badly have not yet been born. ”

In a word, Zhong Yong hummed softly.

Shen Mingze saw that his uncle was finally a little relaxed.

said: "Uncle, but please ask my uncle and two cousins to witness, for the rest of my life, I will only have my cousin, and I will never live up to my cousin's friendship." ”

Zhong Yong looked at the man in front of him, and his perseverance and belief were convincing. He put away his anger, sat down on the table and chair behind him, and then ordered: "Ruju, you lead Jinxiu to the backyard, let me go to meet the distinguished guests." ”

When I came over just now, I saw the elders of the Shen family, as well as the highly respected Liang Taifu in the court, Xuanping Marquis Wei Zheng.

Ran Zhong Yong's words seemed to admit this family business.

Xiao Shen was busy helping people up.

"Today is a great joy, Qiushuang ordered to go down, and every maid will have a reward."

Nie Qiushuang looked at the little sister's marriage being decided like this, a little flustered, she seemed to hear rumors outside today, saying that His Royal Highness King Huan had taken a fancy to his sister, and said that the cousin of the Shen family came to propose marriage at this time, which was a head-on enemy of King Huan.

She didn't know how to praise this kind of decisiveness and fearlessness.

After all, courage is commendable.

Xiao Shen pulled Jinxiu aside and said, "Today, your cousin suddenly came to propose, and I was also caught off guard." ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Auntie, you have already had an idea about our marriage, and my cousin and I are also in love. ”

Xiao Shen understood.

Nie Qiushuang also understood, so it could be regarded as giving face to the Heavenly Family.

When all this is done, it will be evening.

After the guests left, Zhong Yong called his daughter to ask clearly.

In the study, Zhong Yong and Xiao Shen still have her Zhong Jinxiu.

Zhong Yong thought about it repeatedly, and felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that all of this was in someone's calculations in a trance.

He needs to be confirmed.

Looking at his daughter sitting casually, eating snacks and drinking tea, his worried mind at this moment never stopped for a moment.

He was silent for a long time, and finally asked:

"Do you know what your cousin is doing today?"
