All the family members of Guo's mansion were dismissed, and Guo Xiaoxiao and the others could only do it themselves. Guo Xiaoxiao, who was full of wine and food, thought of taking a walk in the backyard to see if the silver buried on the day of escape was still there.

On that day, several people passed through Chuzhou, and all their luggage was lost. Steward Zhang had tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in his baggage, and after Steward Zhang died, those silver tickets were gone.

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but regret that the country laid down by her grandfather and father was in vain, and she was really speechless to face her grandfather and father.

Fortunately, there are still some buried in the backyard, Guo Xiaoxiao came to the pear tree in the backyard, and when he looked closely, this place had been excavated.

Guo Xiaoxiao threw himself on the ground, grabbed the soil on the ground, and tears fell uncontrollably. Now the Guo family really has nothing but this house.

It was drizzling in the sky, and Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the ground and wept silently.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Guo Xiaoxiao.

"There will be more." The man reassured.

Guo Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head and saw Luo Xuan standing in front of her with an umbrella, she stubbornly turned her face away and stopped looking at him.

"As long as we're a family, there's still some of these things." Luo Xuan leaned the oil-paper umbrella to her side.

"Steward Zhang, Datang and Anan are dead, Zijinfang is scattered, and the Guo family is also defeated." Guo Xiaoxiao cried so much that the pear blossoms rained, "Father is also gone......"

"Excessive grief has no effect on the consequences that have already been caused." Luo Xuan's face did not change, "Sister Chang must be strong." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was in a trance, and his face was like ashes.

"Thank you for saving me and saving our family." Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, "But I still don't know who you are and what your relationship is with our Guo family." ”

"I'm my brother-in-law."

"When it comes to concubines, my father is the only one; What kind of brother are you? Guo Xiaoxiao raised his face to look at him.

"I know Sister Chang still doesn't believe it." Luo Xuan placed the oil-paper umbrella in front of Guo Xiaoxiao and let the spring rain sprinkle on him, "This umbrella, you should be familiar with it." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes.

"Why do you think Mr. Twilight Chengxue, who has seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, would accept you as his student?" Luo Xuan asked.

"The teacher said that he had a relationship with me, and it was like a friend at first sight, so he accepted me as a student."

"Today's saint loves Danqing ink, and now his level is perfect, all thanks to a mentor he received in his early years. You say it's a coincidence or not, the painter of Emperor Wanli is also called Du Chengxue. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao grew his mouth when he heard this.

"Mr. Du Chengxue has excellent skills, especially famous for Danqing, he was a court painter in his early years, and was released from the palace by Emperor Wanli for violating the palace rules." Luo Xuan said eloquently, "The Twilight family and our Luo family also have some friendship. Since Twilight Chengxue was expelled from the palace, the Twilight family has lost trust in the imperial court. ”

Luo Xuan put up the umbrella again and said, "It was my father Luo Xin who asked Mr. Du Chengxue to go to Shudi. ”

"What is the relationship between your father and my father?"

"Cousin." Luo Xuan paused, "The great-grandfather of our two families was the prince of Zhenguo who was above 10,000 people under one person during the Jiajing period. Zhenguo Gong has two sons under his knees, both of whom are descendants, the eldest son Luo Xin and the second son Luo Wen. Luo Wen had two sons, the eldest son Luo Xin, and the second son Luo Yong. So you and I are sisters-in-law. ”

"Why have I never heard my father say that?"

"Your grandfather Luo Xin is incognito, not only have you not heard of it, but even your mother probably doesn't know it very well."

"And how did you learn about it?" Guo Xiaoxiao stood up.

"My family's lineage, thanks to your grandfather's protection, was able to escape. Before his great-grandfather died, he asked my father to pass on the incense of the Luo family, carry it forward, and revitalize the majesty of our Luo family. My father and my uncle slept at night, not daring to forget my great-grandfather's last words. ”

"And how did you become a general?"

Luo Xuan smiled lightly: "This matter is a long story, I will talk to you in detail in the future." You just need to know that you and I are sisters and brothers, and there will never be a fake. ”

"Then according to what you say, I should have been surnamed Luo?"

"I've finally made it clear to you." Luo Xuan sighed, "That's right, you should have been called Luo Xiaoxiao." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head: "Too many things have happened in the past few days, and my heart is very chaotic." ”

Luo Xuan held the umbrella and looked at her intently.

"I'll go back and rest first." Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and left.

"Sister Chang!" Luo Xuan stopped her.

Guo Xiaoxiao stopped in the corridor and looked back at him.

"Call me 'Brother Xuan' from now on."

Guo Xiaoxiao was moved, didn't say anything, and then left the backyard.

Luo Xuan smiled slightly, and left with an umbrella. About seven or eight days later, a letter came from Beijing, summoning Luo Xuanyi and others to return to Beijing to resume their lives. The soldiers were very happy, thinking that they must have returned to Beijing to lead the army, so they immediately packed their bags and entered Beijing.

After Luo Xuan dealt with the affairs of the army, he went to Guo's mansion to inform Guo Xiaoxiao. Nan Yue and Xiaozhu were very happy after knowing that Guo Xiaoxiao and Luo Xuan were sisters and brothers. The Guo family has no collateral relationship, and Master Guo has no son under his knees, so this time there is finally a man sitting on the mountain.

Mrs. Guo is not happy or sad, she only hopes that Guo Xiaoxiao and Guo Qianqian are safe and sound.

Luo Xuan told Guo Xiaoxiao about the emperor's summoning of the Ming army back to Beijing, and asked Guo Xiaoxiao and a few people to follow the Ming army back to Beijing.

Guo Xiaoxiao was very hesitant, Shu was her hometown in the past, and now Yangzhou is her home, and Jingshi has nothing to do with her in the end. If Luo Xuan hadn't turned over the past, she estimated that she would only stay in Yangzhou for the rest of her life.

"Sister Chang, you can go to Beijing with me." Luo Xuan persuaded, and did not forget to ask Nan Yue and Xiaozhu to help him speak.

Nan Yue said with a smile: "Miss, you and General Luo have finally reunited, so you can go to Beijing with General Luo." ”

Xiaozhu said: "Miss, the slave maid is so big, I have never seen the prosperity of the Jingshi, and I have never seen the dignitaries, so you can agree, so that the slave and maid can open their eyes." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao did not speak, neither agreed nor refused.

"If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise." Luo Xuan raised his robe, "I will order someone to prepare a carriage and come to pick up my sister tomorrow morning." You two maids pack up your things in advance. ”

"Hey, Luo Xuan!" Guo Xiaoxiao stopped him.

Luo Xuan turned his back and waved his hand at Guo Xiaoxiao: "That's it." ”

"Luo Xuan!" Guo Xiaoxiao was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I didn't think about it." ”

Luo Xuan had already walked out of the gate of the Guo Mansion.

On the second day, Zhang Yun personally drove two carriages to pick up Guo Xiaoxiao. Zheng Yun loaded the luggage into the carriage at one time, and Guo Xiaoxiao looked around and didn't see Luo Xuan.

"Miss, get in the car." Zheng Yun arched his hand.

"Oh, good." Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to have lost his soul.

Zhang Yun asked Nan Yue and Xiaozhu in surprise: "What's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”

Nan Yue said with a smile: "Xu didn't see General Luo, and his heart was unstable. ”

Xiaozhu covered his mouth and smiled, and walked to another carriage to wait for Mrs. Guo.

Zhang Yun drove the carriage out to the gate of Yangzhou City, and Guo Xiaoxiao heard the noisy sound of the crowd. Guo Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and took a look, and found Luo Xuan sitting on a tall horse, as the leader of the team.

It turned out that he had already prepared it. Guo Xiaoxiao smiled secretly, and then lowered the curtain.

The military advisor Zhao Chengyin rode a horse behind Luo Xuan, and when he saw the carriage behind him, Zhao Chengyin smiled and said, "The general really asked for someone." ”

Luo Xuan said with a smile: "If you can't ask for it, you have to come in the end." ”

Zhao Chengyin said: "You are always so arrogant. ”

Another pair made Qin Huan smile and said: "This posture actually has a bit of a card to welcome relatives and marry." The car must be a beautiful woman, right? ”

Luo Xuan said: "Shut your mouth. Beware of her heard, and she won't leave if she's upset for a while. ”

"What's upset about this? I'm complimenting Miss Yan! ”

"Sister Chang is thin-skinned and can't stand your praise."

"So what do you mean, I'd better not say a word?"

Luo Xuan looked back and smiled: "You have an epiphany this time." ”

"Hahaha." Zhao Chengyin and Luo Xuan both laughed.

The sun slowly climbed up, and Luo Xuan was worried about the change in the weather, so he ordered the team to leave early. The ranks of the Ming army left Yangzhou City in a mighty way and formed a long line.

About a quarter of an hour later, Guo Xiaoxiao heard the sound of small footsteps. She lifted the curtain and looked back, and found that there was a flowing procession behind her, neat and orderly, and mighty.

"What's wrong with the eldest lady?" Nan Yue saw her clutching her chest.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Guo Xiaoxiao really didn't expect such treatment.

Nan Yue smiled and said, "You're not dreaming. Deputy Envoy Zhang specially arranged for you and your wife to have a carriage in the middle of the procession, saying that he was worried that there would be thieves on the road, and it would be bad to disturb you and his wife. ”

"I've never been protected by so many people." Guo Xiaoxiao opened the curtain again to confirm that he was not dreaming, and then returned to the car.

"Now that you have General Luo to rely on, you don't have to worry about anything."

"It's only been a few days, and you've been on General Luo's side?" Guo Xiaoxiao was a little angry.

"You misunderstood the slave, the slave is happy for you." Nan Yue lowered her head, "Since my grandfather went to Suzhou, there has been no news for a while, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Too many things have happened in recent days, if Nan Yue didn't mention Jiang Zhiyuan, Guo Xiaoxiao wouldn't remember Jiang Zhiyuan.

"yes." Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on the side of the carriage, very melancholy, "Is he safe now?" When will he return? ”

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something and said: "Oops, what if we go to Jingshi and my cousin can't find us?" ”

Nan Yue grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, the slave has already left a letter in your room." If he comes back safely and can see the letter, he will know where you have gone. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "You are still careful." ”

"The slave and maid are all tied to you and your master." Nan Yue's eyes were very sincere, "After several turnovers, the master repaired with you." Seeing that it is about to achieve a positive result, the slave can't bear to look at you and your master giving up halfway. ”

"If my cousin can have a female envoy like you by his side, he should be able to save a lot of worries." Guo Xiaoxiao was ashamed, "But he sent you to me." ”

"The slave is willing to wait for you, besides, ......" Nan Yue gradually relented.
