Hearing this voice, there was no need to look back, Xie Ling also knew who it was, and sure enough, he saw that it was the second uncle Yuan who was walking towards her with a little lady.

Yuan was wearing a pale crimson embroidered collared shirt today, with a dark large-sleeved Luo shirt, a Qiluo skirt, and soap boots, as if he had just returned from the horse racecourse, and he looked particularly heroic.

"Second uncle!" Xie Ling raised his hand and saluted.

Yuan stepped forward and shook her hand, looked her up and down, and said with a loud smile: "I have seen He Xuan so politely with my second uncle, look at you this time, I am so busy all day long, and I don't know where to find it if my second uncle wants to play with you!" ”

Xie Ling smiled slightly, she was no longer surprised by Yuan's bold temperament, and she was right, since returning from Luofu Mountain, she has been busy looking for the murderer who killed her father and mother and the murderer behind her who was hiding behind her and peeping behind her, and indeed she had little contact with these uncles and relatives, and the last time she met Yuan, it was the eldest sister's banquet, and there was not much conversation between the two.

Seeing the Yuan family again, Xie Ling couldn't help but think of his mother and what the green house had said to her, and couldn't help but have some doubts: the second uncle was the closest person to her mother during her confinement, and she didn't know how much she would know about her mother's death?

"Ah Ling, the second uncle and mother brought a little lady to meet you, look at it, do you remember who she is?"

When Xie Ling was slightly stunned, Yuan had pushed a little lady in a light purple wide-sleeved long skirt in front of Xie Ling.

She looked at Xie Ling with a smile, as if she was just waiting for Xie Ling to guess who she was, but after waiting for half a sound and no response, she frowned and said, "Oops! It's me! Yuan Jiuniang, Ah Ling, I haven't seen you for five years, you really don't know me! ”

Xie Ling suddenly remembered that he did have a playmate when he was a child, that is, Jiuniang of the Yuan family of Chenjun, this Jiuniang is also wild like a little Langjun, when he was a child, he didn't like to play with those little ladies, so he loved to follow her and Wang Yun upside down, and even the upper clan often ran to their Langjun's school, for which he also suffered a lot of family punishments, but every time his grandfather would break the siege, this little lady is really temperamental, reckless, quite a bit of a celebrity, and then the eldest lady of the Yuan family will be up to her!

"Are you Jiuniang?"

Yuan Jiuniang glared at her again, pretending to be angry: "Yes! Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang, we were such good playmates when we were young, you actually forgot me, Ah Ling, we are still not Jinlan brothers? ”

"Nonsense, what Brother Jinlan? You are a girl, Ah Ling is a personable little gentleman, you can't be so unruly in the future! ”

Yuan Shi said a word, and Yuan Jiuniang immediately replied: "Okay, okay!" I see! After speaking, he immediately forgot the reserved rules, strode up to Xie Ling, and took Xie Ling's hand, "Ah Ling, we haven't played together for a long time, I heard that a lot of fun things have happened in Jiankang City recently, let's go out together, okay?" ”

Xie Ling hadn't answered yet, but at this time, another voice came: "Go out to play, why don't you call me, Jiu Niang, did you forget me when you saw Ah Ling?" ”

Yuan Jiuniang immediately turned around, and saw that it was Xie Hanyun who came with two maids, and then leaned up and took Xie Hanyun's hand, and said with a smile: "How can you forget Sister Ayun!" Jiuniang hasn't seen Ah Ling for a long time, and she is too happy in her heart!

Oh, by the way, I recently heard that Cousin A Yun won the love of the noble concubine at the banquet of the Prince's East Palace with a song of plum blossoms and three lanes, and now many people are spreading it, saying that the eldest cousin, you will be selected as the princess of the East Palace in the future! ”

Yuan Jiuniang smiled innocently and brightly, but unexpectedly, Xie Ling and Xie Hanyun smiled at the same time, and their expressions seemed to be a little grim!

"What's wrong? Isn't that good news, you guys? Even Jiuniang thinks that with Sister Ayun's talent and appearance, it is made in heaven to match the prince! ”

Before Jiu Niang finished speaking, she heard Xie Ling ask, "Who said this?" ”

"Who?" Yuan Jiuniang looked stunned and dazed, "Aren't they all rumored in this Jiankang City?" ”

Xie Hanyun's face had become extremely ugly, and Xie Ling asked in a solemn voice: "Who is passing it on?" ”

"Isn't it from the palace? I heard what Yin Liuniang, the sister-in-law of the Yin family, said, and in addition to her, the sisters-in-law of the Wen family, the Cai family, and the Zhu family all said so! ”

Before Yuan Jiuniang finished speaking, she saw Xie Ling with a solemn face, and walked towards the gate without saying a word, Yuan Jiuniang sighed, still ignorant and dazed, Yuan was also stunned for a while, although Xie Hanyun was unhappy in his heart, he also barely put on a smile, and explained to Yuan:

"Second uncle, Jiu Niang, don't get me wrong, Ah Ling, she is just worried about me, so some emotions are not very good, she is not fighting for you, don't be angry with her, why don't you go to my grandmother first, I will go to find her back immediately!"

After speaking, Xie Hanyun nodded to the Yuan family very humbly, and then chased Xie Ling out, and several people didn't notice that a little maid in the courtyard who was watering flowers with a pot quietly left the garden and walked towards the Qiushui Pavilion.

At the top of the pavilion, Zhu was holding a pair of scissors to trim his nails, and he heard the little maid say:

"Master, Lang Jun, he's out! And from Yuan Jiuniang's mouth, it can be heard that the news of the eldest lady being selected as the crown princess of the East Palace has spread in Jiankang City! ”

Hearing the news, Zhu's face immediately spread a smug smile: "Very good, this time I will tell their sister and brother to go and have no return!" ”

……

"Ah Ling, you wait for Ah Sister!"

Xie Hanyun has been pampered since he was a child, and he was raised as a typical lady, after all, his physical strength is not as good as Xie Ling, who has studied martial arts with Ge Xiuyuan, and he can't catch up with him in a few steps, and he is already out of breath.

Xie Ling had to stop, turned around again, and helped Xie Hanyun up, and when she helped her, Xie Hanyun firmly grabbed her hand, and said worriedly: "Ah Ling, what are you going to do?" Those rumors, they love to spread them, let them pass on, if we are like them, it seems that we are vulgar, not to mention that the Cai family, the Wen family, the Yin family and the Zhu family are all high-ranking officials in the court, Ah Ling, don't argue with them for these trivial things, make enemies for our Xie family, it's not worth it! ”

"What's a trifle? Thousands of miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill, sometimes a small thing is enough to devour a person's life and destroy a family. ”

After Xie Ling said a solemn word, he suddenly stopped his mouth, looking at Xie Hanyun's gentle and beautiful face, he couldn't help but think of the pale and desperate bloodless face in his previous life, the eldest sister in his previous life ended up like that not long after the rumor that she would be selected into the East Palace in Jiankang City, I didn't think that she would be in trouble in this life, this day is still coming!

If you really follow the trajectory of your previous life, what will happen next is the unbearable rumors that came out of Xiao Zhengze,

She had to stop these rumors before they spread!

Thinking like this, Xie Ling couldn't help but quietly clench the short sword hidden in his sleeve, and said to Xie Hanyun: "Sister, go back!" ”

"And where are you going?"

"I'll just go out on the streets!"

"Then I'll go shopping with you!" Xie Hanyun said nervously.

"Sister!"

……

In the end, Xie Hanyun couldn't resist Xie Hanyun, Xie Ling ordered Qiu Shi to call Ling Ye and several Xie family members followed, and Xie Hanyun came to a neighborhood near the Qinhuai River.

Xie Hanyun took her hand and kept shuttling between those small stalls, sometimes playing with the windmill, sometimes taking a mask and putting it on her face, and finally pulled her to the Vermilion Bird Bridge, pointed to the waves of the river and sighed: "In the past, Zhuge Wuhou once said: Jinling City is proud of the Yangtze River, and the ancient world has become a vein of royal energy, and during the Warring States Period, King Chuwei destroyed Yue, and buried the golden Qianyi under the stone mountain of the Tiger Ju Dragon Pan, so as to imprison this royal spirit, and the Later Qin unified the world, and the first emperor was also deeply jealous of this royal spirit, so he dug out a river in this city to cut off the dragon vein, So he chiseled out these ten miles of Qinhuai, Ah Ling, do you think this place is beautiful? ”

Xie Ling sighed in his heart, since the Jin Dynasty, Jiankang City was the most prosperous place of economic prosperity, and the trade with the northern country was also endless, but just because of a rebellion, the economy of the entire Southern Dynasty regressed for nearly a hundred years, and the population declined sharply, and finally the northern country annexed the entire Southern Dynasty.

Seeing that Xie Ling was stunned and didn't answer, Xie Hanyun asked again: "Ah Ling, since you came back, we haven't played so indulgently once, right?" ”

Oh, yes! It's been a long time!

"By the way, do you know what the second uncle brought Yuan Jiuniang here for today?" Xie Hanyun asked mysteriously.

"For what?"

"It's for you to kiss!"

"Say kiss?"

"Yes! Don't you see it yet? That Yuan Jiuniang has been pleasing to you for a long time, and the second uncle and aunt are here to match your marriage this time! It's a pity, although our Ah Ling is heroic and graceful, he can't marry that Yuan Jiuniang......"

Xie Ling was stunned, and Xie Hanyun laughed again: "Look at you, I really believe it!" ”

Only then did Xie Ling react: "Okay! It turns out that Sister, you are making fun of me! After laughing for a while, Xie Hanyun was stunned again, and looked at Xie Ling seriously and said:

"Ah Ling, it's been a long time since I've seen you smile like this, when you come back this time, Sister Ah always feels that you have a lot of thoughts, can you be regarded as open today?"

Xie Ling knew that Xie Hanyun was doing all this to make her happy, and he was inevitably very moved in his heart.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has played and set this year's Zhongzheng assessment on the first day of April, at that time, students from all over the world will come to participate in the assessment, and my grandfather will definitely let you participate in the assessment, and then you will enter the official career."

"Yes."

"So Sister doesn't want anything to happen to you, even if it's a little hurt, Sister said that everything is done with your best, fate is determined by God, if Sister Ah really has nothing to do with the prince, it is also fate, Sister Ah will not force it, and I don't want to bring you any misfortune because of this matter! Ah Ling, this time, you listen to Sister A, don't be like them! ”

Xie Ling naturally heard the meaning of Xie Hanyun's words, it turned out that he said so much just for the last sentence, in order to persuade her!

Xie Ling didn't know what to say, Xie Hanyun didn't know her future, let alone the future of this big beam, she naturally wouldn't give up all her plans because of her persuasion.

When he hesitated and didn't know how to answer, he suddenly hit her with a strong force, knocking Xie Ling into a staggered forward a few steps, Xie Hanyun hurriedly helped Xie Ling steady, and saw an old man falling to the ground, ouch and scream.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Xie Hanyun asked.

The old man shook his head again and again: "It's nothing!" He got up again and walked away on crutches.

A gust of river wind blew, Xie Ling suddenly smelled a strange fragrance as if it was coming from his body, and he couldn't help but raise his sleeve and smell the sleeve of her shirt that the old man had reached out to grab just now.

Xie Ling suddenly had doubts in her heart, and in her afterglow, she caught a glimpse of multiple eyes on the side of the road looking towards her, and secretly said in her heart: Something is wrong, at this time, another girl's voice came: "Yo, isn't this Xie Hanyun, the eldest lady Xie who is about to become the crown princess?" ”

Xie Ling couldn't help frowning and raised his head, and saw that a group of little ladies were getting off the ox cart and walking towards this side, and it was Cai Ruoyin who was the leader, and the one who spoke just now was a girl in a crimson shirt with big sleeves, and she was just getting old.

This girl, she also knows, is the Yin Liuniang of the Chen County Yin family that Yuan Jiuniang said, this Yin Liuniang was also born very beautiful, but she was a little arrogant and domineering in the beauty, Xie Ling remembered that she was married to Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling, in her previous life, but because Xiao Lun was tyrannical and crazy by nature, and she was a good man, her ending was naturally not good.

Yin Liuniang in her previous life didn't have much intersection with her, so she didn't expect that among the people who pushed her eldest sister to such an ending, she also had a role.

Standing with Yin Liuniang is also Zhu's niece, Zhu Sanniang, Zhu Huiying.

Xie Ling faintly felt that the comer was not good.

Sure enough, her thought flashed, and Yin Liuniang came over and sneered: "I also heard that the eldest lady of the Xie family once mistook others as princes in Xiangshan Temple because she missed His Royal Highness the Prince, and the two had taught each other privately, secretly communicating with each other, and even ......."

Before she finished speaking, there was a "snap" sound on her face, and a hot pain suddenly made her shut her mouth.

This slap made all the little ladies stunned, and even a group of passers-by couldn't help but stop watching.

Yin Liuniang seemed to be incredulous, pointed at Xie Ling with one hand, and said hatefully: "Who are you?" How dare you hit me? ”

"I beat you because you were disrespectful, as the daughter of the Yin family of Chen County, you actually became dirty, could it be that this is your Yin family's tutor, and you haven't even learned the virtues of women?"

"You-"

Yin Liuniang was so angry that her face turned purple, and she couldn't spit out a word stuck in her mouth, and at this time, there was applause again, and she said:

"That's right, the lady of the Yin family will hang the four words of the secret passage song on her lips when she exits, could it be that her nature is to wander here?"
