Two years ago, if you talked about the most low-key powerful family in the capital, everyone in the world would say in unison - Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is indeed low-key, although it has been a military commander for generations, with great military achievements, and holds the military power of the Great Jin Dynasty, it has always been low-minded and unassuming.

Not only that, but even the common bees and butterflies that the nobles of the capital often have cannot be found in the men of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.

Especially in Mei Zijin's hands, he is even more low-minded. Because he is not in the capital all the year round, and he is not close to women, he is simply an outlier among the children of the powerful.

Therefore, over the years, although the Dingguo Marquis Mansion has great military exploits and enviable monstrous power, it has always been the most low-key place among the magnates in the capital......

However, now, if you ask which is the most eye-catching magnate in the capital in the past two years, I am afraid that everyone will also say in unison: Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

Indeed, everything has changed since the Dingguo Marquis Mansion married the seriously ill eldest prince Meizi Chu Chongxi Niangzi last year......

Since then, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion has become the hottest topic in the capital, and from time to time there are shocking news exposed, which attracts the people who watch the excitement and enjoy the excitement.

And after two years of creating hot topics, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion has ushered in the highest peak today!

It turned out that Mei Zijin, the Marquis of Dingguo, who had just married the fifth princess at the wedding yesterday, actually drew his sword and injured the five princesses of the golden branch and jade leaves on the night of the wedding. The five princesses cried and returned to the palace overnight to complain to Emperor Ming of Jin Ming of the crimes of the prince.

So, early this morning, Dingguo Marquis Mei Zijin was escorted to the palace for the crime of hurting the royal princess!

It is a big crime to hurt the royal family, even if it is Mei Zijin, who has military feats, it cannot be surpassed.

So seeing him being escorted into the palace, the people of the whole city couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the god of war of the Great Jin.

But Mei Zijin described it as righteous and awe-inspiring, and there was no fear on his face.

Just like he said last night when he put the long sword on Princess Leyi's neck, if Shui Qingqing was hurt in the slightest because of her, he would definitely not let her go!

And he mercilessly cut a blood mark on Princess Leyi's neck at that time, but he completely frightened the willful and rude Princess Leyi, so he didn't care about his face, and he no longer coveted Mrs. Hou's position, and went back to the palace crying like running for his life overnight......

In the Xuehe Palace, Princess Leyi, who had cried all night, leaned on the warm couch with a red wedding dress on her body, which was thrown away by her as early as the Hou Mansion, and changed into the palace dress she was used to wearing, with a white face, red and swollen eyes, and a gauze bandage around her neck, describing herself as an embarrassment.

Concubine Xian, who was alarmed in the middle of the night, also accompanied Princess Leyi to sit in the Xuehe Palace for most of the night, and her face could not hide her tiredness.

And after thinking of Shui Qingqing, whose whereabouts were unknown, Concubine Xian's heart was sad, and Liu Mei couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows.

After a while, Emperor Ming of Jin, who had descended from the early dynasty, came over with the four princes.

Because of Princess Leyi's affairs, Emperor Jin Ming didn't sleep well last night, his eyes were bloodshot, and when he saw Leyi's description when he entered the door, although he felt sorry for her, he was angry when he thought of what she had done.

When Princess Leyi saw Emperor Jin Ming's arrival, she stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Jin Ming's clothes, and said aggrievedly: "Father, this time, you must make decisions for your daughter...... The daughter was really wronged to death, she was bullied on the first day of marriage, and now she is still laughed at by everyone...... Father, my daughter will have no face to be a person in the future......"

Emperor Jin Ming sat down with a gloomy face, Concubine Xian hurriedly got up and asked the palace people to serve ginseng tea, and personally brought it to Emperor Jin Ming, looking at the bloodshot in his eyes, and said bitterly: "The emperor will take a sip of tea first." ”

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Jin Ming looked at Princess Leyi, who was stained with tears on her face, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, and it has a lot to do with yourself...... If you hadn't forced Guan Qing away, Marquis Mei wouldn't have ...... you like this."

"However, even so, he Mei Zijin is not qualified to dare to do this to me...... In any case, I am a royal princess, how dare he draw his sword against me on my wedding day...... I don't dare to go back to the Hou Mansion anymore, he Mei Zijin is a madman...... If he can't find her, he'll really kill me......"

Thinking of last night's scene, Le Yi couldn't stop being afraid. She has never been scolded since she was a child, how can she endure the terrible feeling of being held with a sword on her neck.

What's more, Mei Zijin really used a sword to scratch blood marks on her neck, and the terrible feeling that she was only one step away from death made her afraid of Mei Zijin and the entire Dingguo Hou Mansion, how could she dare to go back to the Hou Mansion to live with Mei Zijin?!

Hearing her words, Emperor Jin Ming sighed heavily, and his heart was entangled and embarrassed.

He knew Mei Zijin's feelings for Shui Qingqing, and now that Shui Qingqing was forced away by Le Yi, this evil breath, according to Mei Zijin's temperament, must not be able to spare Le Yi, so he made such a big disturbance last night.

Mei Zijin is not a person who does not know proportion, he dares to attack Le Yi, which is enough to see the anger in his heart, and at the same time shows his tough attitude in his heart.

Therefore, just as Le Yi himself was worried about, if Shui Qingqing could not be found, Mei Zijin would really not let Le Yi go.

And according to Le Yi's unruly temperament, the life of the two together is destined to be a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jin Ming said in a deep voice: "Father has let Mei Zijin enter the palace to confess his guilt. But before he arrives, Father wants to ask you what you plan to do now? ”

Emperor Jin Ming asked a serious question, but he asked Le Yi, who was crying.

Yes, after last night's trouble, what should she do with Mei Zijin?

In fact, after Mei Zijin did something to her last night, Mrs. Hou and the aunts of the Hou Mansion rushed over.

When Mrs. Hou saw Mei Zijin scratching Le Yi, she was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot, so she slapped Mei Zijin to make Le Yi angry, and personally apologized to Le Yi, begging her to forgive Mei Zijin this time.

However, how could Princess Leyi, who has golden branches and jade leaves, endure this evil breath?!

What's more, her dignified princess and the new Mrs. Hou were treated like this by her husband on the first day of marriage, and she was known to the whole house, and was laughed at by her aunts, such a shame, Le Yi absolutely couldn't bear it.

Therefore, regardless of the old lady's hard begging and persuasion, Leyi, who insisted on going his own way, went back to the palace overnight regardless of all the consequences.

And let go of the cruel words, we must make Mei Zijin and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion pay the price......

And it was she who didn't listen to the old lady's retention and persuasion last night, and returned to the palace overnight, making things uproaring, but it made her and Mei Zijin fall into a deadlock, and it was difficult to recover......

Looking at Le Yi, who was asked, Li Xuan, the fourth prince who was silent on the side, saw through her thoughts, frowned and said in a deep voice: "If the imperial sister can endure the anger for a while last night and don't make such a big fuss, there is still room for things to turn around." And now, things have come to such a field, the royal sister has been wronged, but the Hou Ye also has grievances in his heart, if neither of them can back down, does the imperial sister have the confidence to continue living in the Hou Mansion? ”

Li Xuan's words hit Le Yi's embarrassment, making her blush.

When she decided to leave the Hou Mansion and return to the palace last night, the old lady also persuaded her to endure her anger for a while, leaving some room for future relationships, and promised her that she would personally escort Mei Zijin into the palace at dawn and take the initiative to ask Emperor Jin Ming for her guilt, but she refused to listen.

Now hearing Li Xuan say the same about her, Le Yi couldn't help but get angry, and shouted angrily: "It's obviously Mei Zijin who is wrong, why do you all let this princess endure anger?!" He has made this princess see blood, not to mention that yesterday was the wedding day of this princess and him, how can I bear ......"

"But it's your fault in the first place!"

Li Xuan looked coldly at his unrepentant sister, and hated iron and said: "If you hadn't forced away the county lord of Guanqing, would Mei Zijin treat you like this?" And saving the father and the emperor to wake up, it was originally the responsibility of you and me as children, and the county lord of Guanqing risked his life to do it for us, not only did you not appreciate the help, but also threatened the county lord of Wanqing to leave the Hou Ye and her children with this matter, how unfilial and cruel you are, so, Mei Zijin taught you, what is wrong?! ”

Li Xuan's words made Le Yi look colorless, and looked at Emperor Jin Ming with a blue face in a panic, and said in fear: "Father, it's not like this, I've always wanted to save my father, but by the way, let her leave......"

Emperor Jin Ming was still grateful for the abolition of the crown prince, and Le Yi came forward to send medicine to himself and saved himself. didn't know that what she did was actually begged by Shui Qingqing to respond, and for this reason, she was threatened by her and forced to leave Mei Zijin and her children.

Now that he knows all the truth of the matter, Emperor Jin Ming is cold.

Looking at Le Yi with a flustered face in disappointment, Emperor Jin Ming said coldly: "Your imperial brother is right - you are rude, unrighteous and unjust, you don't know the general situation, and you don't have the responsibilities and responsibilities that a princess should have, and even, you don't know what to do - Guan Qing is willing to agree to your threat in order to save me and think about the overall situation." If it were you, would you be able to do it? ”

"Father, I ......"

"Father doesn't want to pursue you anymore. But the mistakes you made to Guan Qing and the relationship between you and Mei Zijin will be handled by Mei Zijin. ”

After that, Emperor Jin Ming motioned to Wu Yong and said, "Let Marquis Mei come in." ”

Mei Zijin, who was silently waiting outside for the summons, heard the conversation inside clearly in her ears, and her heart was cold.

The next moment, he followed Wu Yong into the hall, knelt down in front of Emperor Jin Ming, and took the initiative to ask for guilt.

His face was unusually solemn and said: "Weichen hurt the princess, and he deserves death, so I ask the emperor to punish him." ”

Emperor Jin Ming said in a deep voice: "You must have heard our conversation just now. Last night's incident, Le Yi and you are both at fault. But, no matter what, you can't hurt her, so ......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jin Ming paused, and after a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "I think that both of you are at fault, major crimes can be avoided, and minor crimes should be punished." In this case, you will go to the border to guard - without an edict, you will not be allowed to return to Beijing! ”

Hearing this, Le Yi's face changed drastically, and he was about to refute, but Mei Zijin's whole body was relieved, and he bowed respectfully to Emperor Ming of Jin, and said gratefully: "Weichen Xie Emperor Longen!" ”

Seeing that Mei Zijin responded easily, Princess Leyi was not happy, and said to Emperor Jin Ming with a white face: "Father, how can you let him go so easily?" My daughter doesn't ......"

"The royal sister doesn't know, some time ago, because of the abolition of the crown prince and the former queen, the court was turbulent, and we were defeated in the Chu army before. Therefore, Hou Ye is going, and the right thing is the wealth wolf of Da Chu, and it is for Da Jin to work hard to calm the border passes, how can it be easy? ! ”

Le Yi was speechless for a while, but her heart was so aggrieved that tears flowed-

As soon as she got married, her husband assigned her to guard the border pass, wouldn't she let her stay alive and widowed, and having a husband is the same as having a husband?

However, she asked to punish Mei Zijin again, and asked her to show weakness and then plead for Mei Zijin, and she couldn't swallow the evil breath in her heart, but how could she be good? !

Looking at her appearance, how did Emperor Jin Ming not know her thoughts, and waved his hand to let Mei Zijin and them all retreat, leaving only him and Le Yi.

Emperor Jin Ming said slowly: "Your father knows what grievances you have in your heart, but my father wants to tell you that no matter what happened to you last night, Mei Zijin will go to the border pass, because the border pass of the Great Jin Dynasty needs him." ”

"And between you and him, it's really not suitable. You can't follow him to the border to endure hardships, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate you in his heart - the matter of feelings, you can't force it, you can't force it. If you insist on doing so, I'm afraid that it will be you who suffers in the end, so—"

Speaking of this, Emperor Jin Ming groaned, as if he was making a final thought.

And Le Yi also understood the meaning of Emperor Jin Ming's words, and couldn't help crying 'wow'.

Although he knew that what he said was a bit cruel, Emperor Jin Ming still hardened his heart and said it.

"While you are still young, if you are willing, make the decision for the Father and let you reconcile with Him, so that you have the opportunity to find a lover who can tolerate you and has you in your heart."

Le Yi was desperate in her heart, she knew that her father's words were reasonable, if Mei Zijin had a trace of friendship for her in his heart, he would not have cut the blade last night, so it was enough to see that he had no friendship for her in his heart, and even disgusted and disgusted......

And it was Mei Zijin's sword that tore the hope in Le Yi's heart apart, making her suddenly understand that Mei Zijin may be Shui Qingqing's lover, but not her lover.

He can be kind to Shui Qingqing in a thousand ways, but he won't give her a little bit of those goodness......

Thinking of this, Le Yi was already disheartened, and his heart was cold.

After a long time, she stroked the scars on her neck, shed tears and said bitterly: "In this case, please ask my father to divorce him for me...... Also, let him stay at the border for the rest of his life, never go back to the capital, I don't want to see him again......"

Mei Zijin was punished for guarding the border pass, he gladly accepted, did not make a trace of stop, arranged the affairs in the capital, and set off to bid farewell to Emperor Jin Ming five days later.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jin Ming handed over the letter of reconciliation signed by Le Yi to him, and Mei Zijin did not hesitate to sign his name on it, and once again bowed deeply to Emperor Jin Ming.

Emperor Jin Ming solemnly instructed: "Guan Qing, you must find her...... There are many torments between you and her, after you find her, take her to live a good life at the border, and don't let her down again......"

Mei Zijin was deeply grateful to Emperor Jin Ming for his kindness to him and Shui Qingqing, and thanked him: "The emperor's kindness will never be forgotten by Weichen." Weichen will definitely sacrifice his life for the emperor and guard the border for the Great Jin. will definitely find Qingqing, even if it is the end of the world, Weichen will definitely find her - in this life, he will never let her down again. ”

In this way, braving the severe cold winter and snow, Mei Zijin took Yun'er to kneel goodbye to the old lady, and Sanshi Xiaoxi and his subordinates left the capital to go to the border pass thousands of miles away, and embarked on a long road to find his wife......

Of course, the old lady was reluctant to let him and Yun'er go, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, and the old lady was also worried about Shui Qingqing, who was left behind, so she had to let their father and son leave.

Mei Zijin knelt in front of the old lady with Yun'er in her arms, and said guiltily: "This year's Spring Festival, my son and grandson can't spend it with my mother, and I ask my mother to forgive me." When the weather is warm in the spring next year, the son will send someone to pick up his mother and go to the border with him. ”

The old lady said with tears in her eyes: "It's okay. You have been in the barracks all year round, and your mother has long been used to it. On the contrary, it was Qingqing her, who was out of place alone, and I really didn't feel at ease. In the past few days, I have always been unstable in my dreams, and I am always worried that something will happen to her outside alone...... Don't worry about me, don't worry about Qingqing. After finding her, take her to the border to live a good life together, but-"

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed and said, "You go, I don't know when you will come back, the three of the Tang family, what are you going to do?" ”

Mei Zijin said: "I have a plan in my heart. ”

In this way, in the presence of the old lady, Mei Zijin called the three Tang family together and said solemnly to them: "I have been demoted to the border this time, and I probably will not return to the capital in this life." If you are willing to continue to stay in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion will take good care of you. If you want to leave, Ben Hou will compensate you a lot of money, let you leave the Hou Mansion, go back to your parents' house, or remarry, Ben Hou will not stop you. ”

The Tang family was only in their early twenties, and Mei Zijin couldn't bear to delay them, so he offered to let them go.

Tang Qianqian and Lan Qin heard that Mei Zijin would not return to the capital in this life, and their faces couldn't help but change greatly, only Tang Wanqing looked calm.

Seeing the descriptions of the three people, Mei Zijin already knew it in his heart, and sent Tang Qianqian and Lan Qin away with a lot of money, leaving Tang Wanqing behind.

The old lady asked Tang Wanqing why she didn't leave?

Tang Wanqing said softly with red eyes: "Old lady, Master Hou, the concubine's mother's family has declined, and there is no place for the concubine to live for it...... And the concubine body is not like Sister Tang, who can give birth to children for her husband's family, where else can anyone want me like this? I beg the Hou Ye and the old lady not to send me away, let me stay in the Hou Mansion and live secretly......"

Hearing this, the old lady was heartbroken and shed tears, stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Good boy, it's our Hou Mansion who is sorry for you." If you want to stay, we can't ask for it...... And you don't have to feel sad, the old body will go to the Mei family to find a child for you to pass on, so that you have a side by your side and the old man has something to rely on. And this Hou Mansion, when Zijin is not there, it will also be taken care of by you, so you can accompany the old man to live here. ”

Hearing that the old lady was willing to give her a stepson, Tang Wanqing's face appeared ecstatic, and she knelt down for the old lady with a snort, crying with joy: "In this way, the concubine has no regrets in this life, and she will definitely do her best to serve the old lady well." ”

In this way, after handling all the affairs of the capital, he said goodbye to the old lady, and Mei Zijin and his party set off from Beijing.

Out of the capital, Mei Zijin ordered his cronies and subordinates to go to the border pass to settle down first, and he took Xiaoxi Sanshi and others to the south of the Yangtze River.

Because, Mei Zijin heard Xiaoxi say that when Shui Qingqing left Beijing before, she took her and Yun'er to Jiangnan, saying that she wanted to settle down and live in Jiangnan.

But Jiangnan is so big, where are you going to find Shui Qingqing for a while?!

I kept searching day and night, walked through city after city, and found countless places, but there was no trace of Shui Qingqing.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, the New Year has passed, and the New Year is coming.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Mei Zijin and his entourage came to Laiyan County in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the increasingly sparse pedestrians on the street and the sound of firecrackers one after another, Sanshi whispered to the emaciated and tired Mei Zigen: "Master, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you rest for a day today and spend the holidays, and then go out tomorrow to find the county master?" ”

Mei Zijin glanced at Yun'er, who was asleep in his arms, and covered Yun'er's ears with his big hands to prevent the sound of firecrackers outside from disturbing him, and said gloomily: "See if there is an inn that has not closed?" If there is, charter the inn and celebrate the festival together. If not, you can only go and disturb the government. ”

Fortunately, the people in Yanxian County are prosperous, even if it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are inns and merchants open to do business.

After Sanshi chartered the largest inn in the county, he began to celebrate the festival with Xiaoxi Zhangluo, and Yun'er was tired from driving and fell asleep all the time.

After Mei Zijin bathed and changed clothes, he was so tired that he guarded Yun'er's bedside, and he didn't feel that he took a nap, but he had a sweet dream.

In the dream, he found Shui Qingqing, and when the two went home hand in hand, they passed by a tall and lush fig tree. The trees are full of sparkling golden fruits, and even the leaves are shining brightly, which is very beautiful. He couldn't help but pick the two largest and most dazzling fruits from the tree, and brought them home with Shui Qingqing one by one......

A spirit, waiting for Mei Zijin to wake up from the dream, looking at the empty inn, there was no Shui Qingqing who was thinking about it day and night, and his heart was very sad and dull.

He asked Xiaoxi to look at Yun'er, put on a cloak alone, went downstairs and walked out of the inn, walking aimlessly on the empty street, taking advantage of the bleak north wind to dispel the loss and pain in his heart.

At this moment, it is the time when thousands of families are reunited, but he doesn't know where she is, where is she hiding alone for the holiday?

It was almost evening, the sky began to flutter heavy snow, the shops on the side of the street began to close, the desperate and heavy mood of Mei Zijin, nose smelled a strong aroma of wine, he is not good at drinking, but for the first time he has the idea of borrowing wine to burn his sorrows.

Thinking like this, he walked towards the tavern with orange lights in the alley, stepped into the door, and said to the little girl who was about to close the door, "Bring a pot of wine." ”

At this time, there were no guests in the tavern, and the maid who was guarding the store was about to close the door and go to the back hall to accompany her shopkeeper for the holiday.

While taking the copper plate handed by Mei Zijin, the little girl said proudly: "Look at your appearance as a foreigner, did you hear others say that my shopkeeper's wine is so good that you specially found it—you can drink it boldly, and I guarantee that after you drink my wine, you want to drink it again for the second and third time!" ”

Mei Zijin ignored the little girl's words, opened the spout of the pot, and poured a big mouthful into her mouth.

The little girl seemed to be really confident in her own wine, and after seeing Mei Zijin drink it, she stared at him excitedly and smiled: "How is it, isn't it delicious?" Let me tell you, the wine made by my shopkeeper is different from other places, she is the wine made from the wine and the wine, unlike others who are like sorghum grains, so my family's wine is called 'Bang Jiu'......"

"Where's your shopkeeper? Take me to her! ”

However, before the little girl finished introducing her own wine, Mei Zijin, who drank the first sip of wine, was shocked, and her gray eyes burst into bright light, and she couldn't wait to interrupt the little girl's words and drag her to the back hall.

He tasted it in one sip, and the wine he drank in his hand was the kind of wine that Shui Qingqing had brewed before.

This discovery made Mei Zijin so excited that his heart was about to jump out, and he couldn't wait to let the little girl take him to meet the shopkeeper of the wine.

"Quick, take me to your shopkeeper!"

When the little girl saw Mei Zijin drink a sip of wine, she suddenly looked like crazy, and became excited like a madman, and her eyes were even brighter and frightening, but the little girl was frightened.

"You...... What do you want? My shopkeeper doesn't meet customers casually, so let's go! ”

After that, the little girl took the door panel and pushed Mei Zijin out.

However, Mei Zijin, who has been looking for Shui Qingqing for so long, is immersed in grief and worry every day, thinking about it day and night, and now she finally drinks the wine she brews, Mei Zijin concludes that the shopkeeper in the little girl's mouth is her, how can he be willing to leave? !

With a backhand fold, he had already snatched the door panel in the little girl's hand and threw it to the ground, Mei Zijin didn't care about anything else, and strode towards the back hall.

The little girl chased after him and shouted with a white face, "What are you doing...... I tell you, don't scare my shopkeeper, she ...... She is pregnant with a child in her belly, if you surprise her and the child, I will report to the police and arrest you......"

Hearing this, Mei Zijin looked back at the little girl who was sweating in disbelief, and her voice trembled with excitement.

She ...... Qingqing, she is pregnant with a child......"

The little girl was in a hurry, and she didn't notice that the man in front of her directly reported the name of her shopkeeper, but she just thought of the doctor's explanation to ask her shopkeeper to recuperate, and hurriedly said to Mei Zijin: "I don't think you look like a bad person, if you admire my shopkeeper's craft in making wine, come to visit her again during the day...... She just diagnosed her pregnancy today, and the doctor asked her to recuperate, you can do it, let's go, don't scare her......"

Hearing the little girl's words, Mei Zijin was even more excited, and without thinking about it, she was about to lift the curtain leading to the outer hall.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the curtain, a soft female voice sounded behind the curtain.

"Xiao Huan, the dishes are ready, why don't you come in to eat?"

The moment he heard the voice, Mei Zijin's whole body shook violently, and the whole person was shocked.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted in front of him, revealing a face that haunted him.

The person behind the curtain is none other than Shui Qingqing, whom Mei Zijin is looking for!

- I have to find you no matter what, because you are my destiny.

I can't help myself, I can't help it!
