The Marquis of Dingbei hired the first matchmaker in Qijing with a lot of money, and this matchmaker is already seventy.

People are rare in their seventies, all the way is smooth and there is no problem, the body is very healthy, and they have a good fortune in the auspicious word.

The ancestor has always been a matchmaker for others, and the deceased aunt replaced the two first-class ladies as matchmakers.

Previously, the mansions had repeatedly sent people to invite them, in order to make the Marquis of Dingbei.

As everyone knows, this time Dingbei Hou came directly to the door, and she was the matchmaker.

For three days in a row, she has been busy with this, and according to the rules, she visited early today.

The news spread in an instant, and the teahouses in Qijing were almost full.

"Accept the lottery today, and at this rate, the marriage will be completed before the spring."

"Dingbei Hou is quick and ruthless, he must like Miss Qin to the bones, and he can't wait to marry him!"

"That's, who wouldn't want to be a beauty? Not to mention that she is still a well-known beauty. ”

The crowd laughed, followed by the clinking of glasses in wine cups, overlapping in all directions.

And at this moment, a magnificent carriage passed through the noisy bazaar, and at this time of day, there were usually not so many people.

"My lord, it seems that the craftsmen have left work early today, let's go into the alley next to it and go out of Beijing from the side road?"

The guards were respectful and polite, making preparations for turning around as they patrolled the surroundings.

When the people on both sides saw that the carriage was spacious and large, they went to the side to make way for it.

The slender hand lifted the curtain, the phoenix eyes went up slightly, and the voice was cold, "Hmm." ”

He knew why the craftsmen got off work early, because there was a great joy in Qijing, and the two mansions of Xiao and Qin paid the bride price.

The matchmaker passed the house, raised the bride price, and the family affairs were confirmed.

He also knew the progress of the construction of the Hou Mansion, and he really responded to the words of the people, and he couldn't wait.

Xie Yunzhi chuckled, he understood this move very well, if he was replaced, he was afraid that he would be faster than Xiao Jinyan.

It's just now......

The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally closed his eyes, and only opened them after a while.

After a while, he took out a scroll from the bottom of the saddle and slowly opened it to reveal an old picture of a five-year-old child.

Even if the years change, no matter how fat, thin, tall or short, the eyebrows and eyes will not change, just through this eye, even if the boy grows up, he can distinguish.

On the day the emperor got married, he had already received the news, whether it was true or not, he would personally investigate.

Before the matter was clarified, he did not tell the emperor, if it was true, he would directly bring the people back.

How the emperor treats it is not his business.

After a moment of contemplation, he rolled up the painting and put it back into the scroll.

At this time, the car had reached the west gate and was about to drive out, but it was stopped.

A clear and familiar man's voice came, Xie Yun's eyes sank slightly, Chu Liancheng, only this person dared to stop his carriage.

"It's hot, Lord Xie is out of Beijing at this moment?"

Xie Yunzhi lifted the curtain, "Because of the hot weather, I have taken leave from the emperor and went to live in the Xie Mansion for a while." ”

"The situation has stabilized, the world is safe, it is the critical moment for Lord Xie to give full play to his talents and help Daqi prosper, and the emperor has approved it."

Chu Liancheng chuckled, undisguised suspicion.

Xie Yunzhi's eyes were long and profound, "I have been an official for many years, and I have never taken leave, so I just want to be lazy." The emperor agreed, but the king of Chu disagreed? ”

In this way, if you don't let people go, you won't be able to get along with the emperor, and Chu Liancheng can't afford to be charged, so he retreats to the side.

"It's okay to take care of yourself for a while, Lord Xie, please."

Xie Yunzhi didn't reply, put the curtain down, and the moment he drove out of the city gate, his eyes were dark.

became the leader of the forbidden army, the shelf came out, and he dared to ask where he went.

In the matter of the Red River, the first emperor handed over to Chu Liancheng and the military department Shangshu, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and the matter was put aside for the time being.

It was only put on the agenda some time ago, and Chu Liancheng also left Beijing, and turned back halfway.

Just because of the military department Shangshu who went with him, his daughter became the head of the four concubines and was regarded as a noble concubine.

However, according to the time, today should be the time for Chu Liancheng to go to the Red River, how can he patrol in the west of the city?

At this time, Chu Liancheng was still standing at the city gate, looking at the carriage that was quickly moving away.

He didn't think that Xie Yunzhi really went to the Xie family's courtyard to escape the summer when he went out of Beijing this time, and in terms of heat, this summer and the year before were incomparable.

It was so hot at that time, and I didn't see Xie Yunzhi's summer vacation, but this year?

"Commander Chu, the military department is ready, and it will arrive at the city gate in a moment."

Chu Liancheng nodded, last time because the daughter of Shangshu entered the palace, she was urgently recalled to Beijing, and she officially set off today.

I don't know when I will be able to come back, and the construction of the hub dam of the Red River will not be completed overnight, nor will it be a year or two.

Maybe when he comes back, Shu'er and the children can come over and call him uncle.

He stood in place and looked at the blue sky of Qijing again, this bustling street market, and when he returned, it was another piece of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the corners of Chu Liancheng's lips hooked, and his eyebrows and eyes slowly opened.

Until the horses' hooves were in formation, I thought that the military department Shangshu would lead the team here, but I never thought to turn my head and see Xiao Jinyan.

He left today, no one told him, came to see him off?

What's more, today is Xiao Jinyan's happy day, and the bride price is paid, how did you get here?

Chu Liancheng was just puzzled, and when his eyes were deflected, he couldn't help but see a familiar carriage.

The car ...... Shu'er's.

She...... Also coming?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw Xiao Jinyan straddle the horse and walk towards him, and when he came to him, he said in a low voice.

"This is a long way to go to the Red River, I will send someone to help you secretly, and I hope you will return to Beijing as soon as possible."

When the words fell, Xiao Jin approached him suddenly, and a token fell from his sleeve, and instantly entered Chu Liancheng's hand.

Touching the cold, rectangular thing, Chu Liancheng was shocked, he knew what it was, and quickly put it into his sleeve.

"Those people, only recognize this card."

Xiao Jinyan raised his hand and patted Chu Liancheng's shoulder as he spoke, his face was as usual.

Chu Liancheng was shocked again, he knew that Xiao Jinyan had been stationed on the Qizhou border, especially in the area of the Red River, for many years, and it was normal to have his own manpower there.

However, who will take out their own people, let alone work hard for many years.

Great help, but also a heavy trust.

"Don't worry, I'll do a good job."

Chu Liancheng had no other words, only a solemn promise.

At this time, the horses' hooves were arrayed, and the military department Shangshu led the team from a distance.

Chu Liancheng knew that he was leaving, at this moment, he didn't hold back, he looked towards the carriage of the Qin Mansion, and his lips moved slightly to ask

"Shu'er will send you with me, I will bring you a message, I will go to Honghe to rest assured, she will assist the princess of the county and prevent chaos in the palace."

At this time, Qin Yunshu was sitting in the car, his white fingers lifted the curtain, and he looked at the two people standing at the city gate.

Today's bride price, she is in the cloud courtyard, and the maids are allowed by her to go to the courtyard to see the excitement.

Who knows, as soon as Liu Yi took the plum water and retreated, Jin Yan entered the Cloud Courtyard openly.

Before she could ask, she heard him say that Chu Liancheng went out of Beijing today, and there was a delay a few days ago, and he officially went to Honghe today, and he was only afraid of going for several years.

Almost without any hesitation, she asked Jinyan to bring her.
