There were only two people left in the house, and Zhu Youzhu continued to roll the beads in his hand without saying a word.

Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Dongyang Dou Guts, may I ask Your Highness, where did you get the string of beads in your hand?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said calmly, "You stayed to ask this?" It was a gift from a friend. ”

Li Dongyang continued, "Let me make a bold guess, is this thing a gift from Xiao Wu to His Royal Highness? ”

Zhu Youzhu raised his eyes and looked at Li Dongyang, but did not speak.

Li Dongyang said, "Sure enough, it was given to His Highness by Xiao Wu." His Royal Highness doesn't know, this bead string is called Xuanjing bead string, it is the treasure handed down by Mr. Xuanwei, the founder of my Xuanwei Academy, which is made of thousands of years of Xuanjing stone, a total of nine beads, strung up by Jiaolong tendons, with the effect of increasing wisdom, calming the mind, and turning evil into good fortune. A few years ago, this thing was passed on to Xiao Wu by my teacher, Mr. Huanchu, as a token of receiving apprentices. Xiao Wu usually cherishes abnormalities, let alone touch them, and he doesn't let me wait for my senior brothers to take a look. So I just saw it here in His Highness, and the minister was shocked. Later, he changed his mind, Xiao Wu, this child is simple and kind by nature, presumably because he saw His Highness in danger before, and gave it to His Highness to eliminate disasters and ensure safety. ”

Zhu Youzhu lowered his eyes, "Hmm." She said she owed money for the painting. ”

When Li Dongyang heard this, he said in the tone of an elder complaining about the junior, "Xiao Wu, this child, is about to get married, and he is still so childish." ”

Zhu Youzhu stopped the rolling of the bead string in his hand and clenched the bead string violently.

"Matching?"

Li Dongyang peeked at Zhu Youzhang's reaction and continued,

"Yes, her parents found a family for him, and I heard that the man's family background is innocent, and the man who is married is also young and ......"

Zhu Youzhu suddenly interrupted Li Dongyang's words, and his voice was a little hoarse, "She, she is also satisfied?" ”

Li Dongyang said, "This minister doesn't know, do you know the temperament of my junior sister?" Eccentric, who can guess her thoughts. ”

Zhu Youzhu was still holding the beads tightly in his hand and was silent.

Li Dongyang sighed slightly and said, "Your Highness, how long do you want to endure it?" ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes burst out with a dazzling light, and Li Dongyang felt that his eyes couldn't be opened, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "Chen dares to ask again, do you like Xiao Wu?" ”

Zhu Youzhu was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Gu cherishes her very much." ”

Li Dongyang's gaze froze, and the two fell into a long silence.

————————————————

Zhang Yue felt restless when she got up in the morning, and when she was restless in the past, she always held a string of Xuanjing beads to calm her mood. But now that the beads had been given to someone else, she had to pace back and forth in the house.

At this time, Xiaotong ran in from the outside, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "Miss, it's not good!" ”

Zhang Yue was shocked, "Xiaotong, what's wrong?" ”

Xiaotong hurriedly said, "I went to Madame's room to pick up something just now, and I heard Madame tell the master that the Zhao family has finished combining the eight characters between you and Zhao Gongzi, saying that it is a match made in heaven, and the Zhao family will come over to Naji in the next few days." ”

Zhang Yue's heart was half cold, "Once Najib is in place, this marriage will be engaged." No one can change it. ”

"Yes, miss, what should I do?"

Zhang Yue put on a men's shirt and said to Xiaotong,

"Xiaotong, I'll go to Senior Brother Dongyang's Mansion first, you go to Yundingtian now and ask Shopkeeper Fan to quickly inform Yuan Mo to go to Li's Mansion, saying that I have something important to look for him."

Xiao Tong nodded repeatedly. The two went their separate ways.

When Zhang Yue arrived at Li's house, Li Dongyang had not yet returned, and Liu said that Li Dongyang had been very busy with business recently, so Zhang Yue had to wait for him in the study.

When it was close to the afternoon, Li Dongyang and Yuan Mo actually entered the study with their front and back feet.

Li Dongyang was wearing a black veil on his head, and his official uniform had not yet been taken off, so he entered the door and asked,

"Little Wu, the porter said that you are looking for me in an emergency, what happened?"

Yuan Mo also asked, "That's right, you asked Xiaotong to find me in a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yue said hurriedly, "Can I not be in a hurry?" I have combined with that Zhao Gongzi's eight characters, saying that it is a match made in heaven, and the Zhao family will come to my house in the next two days. ”

Li Dongyang slowly took off his official hat, sat on the opposite side of the bookcase, and leisurely drank the tea on the table, and Yuan Mo also sat on the chair opposite.

"Otherwise, as I said before, if you can escape the marriage, I will accompany you to escape."

"No, I vetoed the method of escaping marriage last time, I really don't want to break my parents' hearts, and my younger brothers are still young and can't take care of their parents, this method will definitely not work."

Li Dongyang and Yuan Mo were silent.

Zhang Yue was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Dongyang, you have the most ideas, don't stop talking, help me find a way." ”

Li Dongyang took a sip of tea, "There is a way, but I don't know if you want to?" ”

Zhang Yue said, "What's the way? ”

Li Dongyang said, "I have been ordered by the emperor to select a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few days, and I am drawing up a selection list. As long as you participate in the prince's selection of concubines and become a show girl, which man will dare to hire you! ”

Zhang Yue and Yuan Mo's faces changed when they heard this, and Zhang Yue said, "That being said! But I don't want to be elected as the crown princess! ”

Yuan Moyan's face eased slightly when he heard this,

Li Dongyang said sharply, "Who do you think you are!" Say it's a choice, you can choose it! The selection of concubines is divided into four stages, consisting of sea selection, primary selection, selection of three, and finally by the emperor. The first few levels are selected by my Ministry of Rites and the Master of Ceremonies, and I can let you lose the selection in the middle. According to the etiquette system of the imperial court, the unsuccessful show girl can only get married after one year. ”

Zhang Yue was silent. Yuan Mo's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth beside him, "I don't agree, this method is not good." ”

Li Dongyang glanced at Yuan Mo, did not speak, and turned to look at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that there is only this way, and it can be delayed for a year." ”

Yuan Mo stood up suddenly, took Zhang Yue's hand and said, "You agreed?" You actually agreed? Brother, what kind of bullshit is this? You can't say yes! Let's go, I'll take you out of here, and we'll go out for a while. ”

Zhang Yue shook off Yuan Mo's hand and said,

"Yuan Mo, calm down, I said that you can't escape from marriage, this is the only way. Besides, why are you so angry, you don't really choose a concubine! ”

"You ——, hum! I don't care about you anymore. Yuan Mo's face was flushed with anger, and he left the study with a shake of his hand.

"Huh!" Zhang Yue looked at Yuan Mo's back and felt inexplicable.

Li Dongyang's expression was unfathomable, and he said, "Well, then it's decided, I will go to the Ministry of Rites in a while to add your name to the selection list, and your parents will receive an official document notification from the government tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yue sighed listlessly, "Got it, senior brother, you remember to eliminate me quickly." ”

Li Dongyang responded, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
