The courtyard where Xin Xin lived was two turns away from the courtyard where Zhezhe lived.

After Zhezhe returned home, he ran to her if he had nothing to do, and the two of them were in the yard, whether they were in a daze, or whether they were painting female red, no one said anything.

The people in the house are busy, preparing the dowry, cutting the wedding dress, and the uncle and his wife are always gone.

Therefore, these days, Gongbo Shengde only talked about Zhezhe and Liang Zhecheng once at breakfast, and asked her to pay attention to the reserve of her daughter's family in the future, so she stopped talking.

Fortunately, I didn't pull her to say anything alone.

If you really want to pull her to say something, she really doesn't know how to answer!

Seeing that September has passed, the days are approaching the wedding date day by day, and the number of embroidery girls coming to Xin Xin is becoming more and more frequent.

Zhezhe came this time and made another hour on the swing outside the door.

The leaves in the courtyard began to turn yellow, the autumn wind gradually rose, the chill gradually rose, and when I looked up at the sky, it was much farther away.

Zhezhe was a little emotional, but he couldn't tell what he was feeling.

"Why didn't you look for me in the house when you came?" Sending off the embroidery girls, Xin Xin tilted his head to look at Zhezhe on the swing.

"When you enter the house, you are also busy and have no leisure, why don't I bask in the sun here," Zhezhe pointed to the sky, "Look, the weather is so nice today!" ”

"It's good!" Xin Xin leaned against the door, sent the maid out, looked up at the sky, and sighed faintly for a while, "There are still three days!" ”

There are three days left, and it will be the day of the cabinet.

"Does it matter if you want it?" Zhezhe actually wanted to ask her if she was in a good mood and if she was sad.

"It's okay," Xin Xin looked at her and smiled, and came over to sit on the swing with her, "When I was a child, the two of us often swung on the swing in my yard, and now I think about it in a trance, the original more than ten years have passed!" ”

Time flies, the years fly, and in a blink of an eye, they have all grown up.

"People, they will always grow up," Zhezhe and her were swinging slowly.

"Yes," Xin Xin looked around the courtyard, "I'm afraid I'll never come back." ”

Out of the cabinet, even if it is a person from the prince's mansion, in the future, the rise and fall of glory and disgrace, there will be a husband's family at most, this family from childhood to adulthood, can no longer bless her.

Fortunately, she can protect this home.

"Be happy," why the more I say this, the more sad it becomes, although autumn is really sad.

"Let's talk about something happy," Zhezhe thought for a while and changed the topic, "Actually, when I mistook Liang Zhecheng for the son of the world, he gave me a hairpin, which scared me, and I hesitated to tell you!" ”

"Tell me what?"

"The son of the world is a color embryo!" But now, "Who knows if I was mistaken!" ”

"Ye Qiongwen, Ye Shizi," Xin Xin smiled and muttered a few words, "You really don't remember?" ”

"What do you remember?" Zhezhe looked frightened, "Don't say it, what did I have before him!" ”

"It's nothing," it's just a rumor, "I'll tell you some rumors, do you want to hear it?" ”

That's a must, Zhezhe nodded hurriedly.

It is said that

The 2,000 daughters of the uncle's family have been smart and clever since childhood, handsome, and at a young age, they have a sense of arrogance, especially good at poetry. At the age of 12, he was invited to participate in the palace banquet, a long song of praise, which won the favor of the saint and the prince. It is rumored that the emperor intended to marry the eldest son of the crown prince.

Wait, Zhezhe grabbed Xin Xin's arm and pointed at himself, "The emperor was originally going to marry me and him?" ”

The amount of information is too large, and Zhezhe can't accept it for a while.

"What do you think?" Xin Xin looked at her, "It's true that you are composing poetry, and it is not false that the saint and the prince favor you!" ”

"Is it possible or false to give marriage?"

"Marriage," Xin Xin snorted coldly, "Who knows if it's true or not, it's just some idlers, who have nothing to do when they're full, and spread rumors everywhere!" ”

"That's fake," Tetsuche breathed a sigh of relief, hell if it was true.

"Sister, you don't have to pay attention to these," Zhezhe saw that she was a little angry, and hurriedly comforted her, "Ordinary people are like this, they like to talk about others when they have nothing to do, and they don't just talk about us, the neighbor lost a chicken, and they can all be pulled into Wong Tai Sin to take revenge!" ”

Zhezhe remembered that in the world she originally lived in, she grew up in the town since she was a child, but her parents still had a few acres of land in the village of her hometown, and they did small business in the town when they were free, and when they were busy with farming, they would go back to pick up those few acres of land.

Zhezhe often went back to his grandmother's house with them when he was a child, and everyone served meals in the yard at night, chatting while eating, and being able to tell all the bad things in ten miles and eight towns, all kinds of sayings, the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, when they were young, they still thought it sounded very interesting, and then they grew up, and they really couldn't listen to it.

You can talk about anything, you can make up anything, if you don't have no culture and only farm, I'm afraid you can be a screenwriter!

"Chasing the wind and catching shadows can only be captured by the wind and shadows!" Xin Xin got up from the swing and stretched, "In the past, I always thought these rumors were interesting, but now that I think about it, it's really boring!" ”

"Let me guess," Zhezhe also got down from the swing, "do these people outside spread rumors every day that we don't have a good relationship?" ”

"Are we on good terms?" Xin Xin asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it good?" No, Ah Wan said that the relationship between the two of them is very good, not what is rumored outside!

"How is it good, how is it not good?"

"That won't be bad," Zhezhe touched his nose, "Do you still hate me?" ”

That night, when I gave you the soul lock bell, you obviously didn't hate me.

Usually you don't hate me, it's just a knife mouth and tofu heart, otherwise you wouldn't pull me out on the night you came back, and don't let your father scold me in front of everyone!

"I don't know," Xin Xin replied very simply, "Say you don't hate, you are unwilling, you say hate, and you can't make up your mind!" ”

"I've got all the bells for you," or you'll forgive me, right?"

"Have you ever used it to talk to your cousin?" Xin Xin glanced at the bell around her waist.

Well, no, Zhezhe was silent, and besides, this bell was not originally a conjuring spirit.

"I didn't see him for the last time," Xin Xin did on the spot, "I only know that he is injured, very serious, when something happened, I wanted to go to him, my father locked me in the yard, I cried for a long time." ”

"Then they told me he was dead," Xin said, holding his knees, "and I still can't believe that he's really gone." ”

"I'm sorry," Tetsuche sat down beside her, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Speaking of which, when you didn't see each other, I was really worried about whether the two of you had a relationship and eloped behind my back," Xin Xin reluctantly gave a smile, "At that time, I was worried about the comfort of the two of you for a while, and I hated you for a while, and felt that you betrayed me!" ”

"I won't betray you," Zhezhe can guarantee that whether it is the previous Gongbo Zhezhe or the current Zhezhe, he cares about this sister from the bottom of his heart.

"I know," that's why I can't hate it, "I know, in fact, this disaster was caused by me with him, and it should be me who says I'm sorry!" ”

"Huh?" Zhezhe didn't understand what he meant.

"Actually, from the beginning, Ye Qiongwen's marriage partner was me,"

I remembered that year's Shangyuan Festival, together with Zhezhe, because they didn't understand poetry, when they chanted poems, they went to see the lanterns.

Originally, he was waiting for his cousin on the bridge, but who knew that in the carriage on the side, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Golden Branches and Jade Leaves got out of the carriage and arrived in front of him, with a peony lantern in his hand, with a gentle face, and wanted to give it to himself.

panicked for a while, and subconsciously turned around to run, who knew that the servant who followed the prince blocked the way, and cried on the spot.

"Don't be afraid," Ye Qiongwen bent down to look at her, "I'm not a bad person, I'm just passing by here, and I saw that the girl was good-looking, this peony lantern, the girl is perfect for holding it!" ”

At that moment, Xin Xin knew that he was the prince, but Ye Qiongwen didn't know that she was the eldest lady of the Gongbofu.

Ye Shizi is an elegant person, he likes to mix with literati talents, Xin Xin is not interested in these, but he accompanied Zhezhe to participate in several poetry meetings and saw this Shizi.

It's just that at that time, all he saw in his eyes was Wang Weizhen, and the prince just remembered it.

In the end, Xin Xin still took the lantern and watched the prince leave, the whole person was shocked and frightened, and when Wei Zhen came, he was busy begging him to send him back.

This was the first meeting.

The second time, it was in the palace, she went to find her cousin with Zhezhe, Zhezhe went to the study first to invite someone, she sat in the flower gallery, brought a needle and thread, embroidered butterflies and flowers there, but I didn't expect to meet him again.

This time, he walked over and turned back, and looked at her for a long time, "The girl is the eldest lady of the Gongbofu, Gongbo Xinxin?" ”

Approaching quietly, scared Xin Xin was excited, and the needle broke her fingertips, and before she could react, Ye Qiongwen had already grabbed her hand, blew it for her distressedly, took a handkerchief, and helped her hold her fingertips.

"Did I scare you?" Ye Qiongwen looked at her and smiled beautifully.

Xin Xin didn't dare to answer, and he didn't know whether to get up and salute, so he could only shake his head and look at him stiffly.

"You're afraid of me?"

Xin Xin naturally shook his head again.

"It's okay to be afraid, if you see it more often in the future, you won't be afraid!" This sentence is like five thunderbolts.

Until the person walked a long way, Xin Xin didn't react.

On that day, the prince was His Royal Highness the Acting Prince, and came to visit Lord Yushi, and the reason why he recognized Xin Xin was that she had half embroidered a handkerchief in her hand. The handkerchief in Xin Xin's hand was also made by her, but it was given to the little sister she knew.

I don't know why, it came into the hands of the prince, and finally fell into Xin Xin's arms.

The bloodied veil was like the beginning of a nightmare.

There are constant letters from the Shizifu, although they are sent to Zhezhe, mainly to talk about poetry and invite to banquets, but at the end, Xin Xin is always mentioned.

After a long time, Zhezhe has seen the clues, not to mention Xin Xin and Wang Weizhen.

His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, fell in love with the eldest lady of the Gongbofu.

"Maybe it's fate," Xin Xin sighed, "It's time to come, it's time to come, you can't hide!" ”

"How do you say," so sad? Zhezhe patted her on the back, "If you are sad and want to cry, you can cry!" ”

Sometimes, it's not good to hold back your emotions all the time, and it can be devastating. Crying out, venting out, will make people a lot easier.

"At that time, there was an accident, I asked people to find out the news, do you know what the people say about the three of us?" Xin Xin obviously didn't want to cry, but her expression was really painful, and they said:

The second lady of the uncle's family, and this cousin have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and when they grew up, they actually made friends in private, and when they knew about the marriage, the two wanted to elope. Who knew that the eldest sister found out and told her mother. The stakes are very high, and it involves the eldest son of the imperial history, so the two ladies are in charge, and they are induced by foreign spies to do the matter, and they really beat a servant to death, exposing the corpse of the bazaar for ten days. It was also this incident that provoked two young ladies of the son, one hanged himself and the other went crazy.

"Don't believe them, it's all," Zhezhe stood firmly, "It's good that we believe in each other." ”

"There is another version," it is funny and angry to say, and this other version is, The eldest lady of the uncle's family, jealous of her sister since she was a child, is more sensible and intelligent than herself, and her posture is also above herself, seeing that she has reached the end of the year, her sister was given marriage before herself, and she was resentful, and deliberately framed her sister and cousin. The two young ladies of the son, who are upright in nature, how can they endure the false accusations, in order to prove their innocence, they both died with their will, and ended up in a situation of death and madness.

"Look, I'll just say, the rumors can't be believed," the more you talk about it, the more boundless it becomes.

"But at that time, the emperor and the crown prince really wanted to marry the prince," Xin Xin bit his lip, "But it's not you, it's me!" ”

Zhezhe didn't speak, let her continue, sometimes, the grievances that are psychologically depressed, the long-standing thoughts, say it, and it is not bad for someone to listen.

He who does not ask for hearing can share something, but he asks himself to vomit and let go of his burden.

The matter of the marriage, the saint asked Lord Yushi to discuss, and at that time, Wei Zhen knew about this matter first.

At that time, the emperor had not yet made up his mind whether to give marriage or not. Ye Qiongwen was deeply loved by the queen and the queen mother, bypassing the emperor and the prince, and asking for marriage to the princess, but the emperor and the prince were more inclined to the princess.

After all, talented women have a reputation, and in comparison, Xin Xin has nothing to show off.

But Ye Qiongwen was at a stalemate, and his mind was on Gongbo Xinxin, and the emperor had a headache, so he found a bunch of civil officials to discuss.

Wei Zhen was worried, Xin Xin was afraid, the two of them, gritting their teeth, made their own plans in private, prepared to elope, and fled to another country.

At that time, Xin Xin was scared and frightened, and Wei Zhen asked her to hide it from Zhezhe, and finally survived until the day before the agreed escape, Xin Xin was finally softly rubbed by Zhezhe and told the matter.

Wei Zhen said that he had a friend who could help them, but he needed Xin Xin to take a look at the appearance of the jade seal of the country, so they could make a fake and give it to that friend, and then let him take them away.

It is a capital crime to privately make a jade seal of the country, not to mention eloping and fleeing, such a big thing, if the emperor knows about it, the Wang family and the uncle's family will be beheaded all over the house.

Zhezhe said that she was confused, but comforted her and told her that there was no way to knock on the bricks and cover the board, that is, there was still room for reversal, why not let her cousin come to ask for marriage before giving marriage? When the two of them were married, there was no point in giving the marriage.

Besides, the emperor's own meaning is to tend to give Zhezhe a marriage to Ye Qiongwen, and Lord Yushi will push one step and stand in line, and he will not provoke the emperor to be angry.

Being persuaded by Zhezhe like this, coupled with his worries and fears about the unknown future, Xin Xin reluctantly nodded and promised to take Zhezhe with him the next day to persuade Wei Zhen.

But Zhezhe finally persuaded her to stay in the house and wait for the news, and let her go and explain it, so as not to shake her mind and make things more responsible.

That is, Zhezhe disappeared for three days.

Wei Zhen found it the next day, but the person was already unconscious and did not wake up, and he lost his breath the night he found it.

Xin Xin found her father, mother, uncle and aunt, and told her all this, and the four masters of the two families unanimously let her stay in the house and not mention it to anyone again. This matter, once it is known, it will punish the nine clans!

"You've been locked up for two years, and I'm actually not much better," Xin Xin sighed, "The two of us, it seems that everything has changed since that day!" ”

"I'm willing to tell you anything," Xin Xin smiled to herself, "but you don't even want to tell me who the assassin is, I know it's not your fault, but I, I have no one else but to hate you!" ”

"I'm sorry," Zhezhe didn't know how to comfort her after listening to it for so long.

Hate it, hate it, as long as you can feel more comfortable in your heart.

"Forget it, mention these again, I'm afraid you're going to say the three words sorry to me for the rest of your life!" Xin Xin got up and went to the house, "After talking for so long, you are thirsty, do you want to drink water?" ”

Naturally, she wanted to drink it, Zhezhe followed her and entered the house together, and the two of them drank tea silently for a while.

"Actually, the prince is very good," Xin Xin stared at the teacup for a long time, "but the person in my heart is not him after all!" ”

What if it wasn't him? Should you marry in the past, you still have to marry, Zhezhe sighed, "In the future, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that he can treat you better, and you will be safe and sound in this life!" ”

This is Zhezhe's heart, she can't stop this wedding, and she can't help Xin Xin make any decisions, everything is powerless, but even if she can't do anything, she hopes that she can live a comfortable life every day in the future. Do not seek to be rich and rich, but to seek peace and security.

"I don't have to worry about you," Xin Xin looked at her, "I have my own measure, but you." ”

"What's wrong with me?" Zhezhe doesn't understand, why did the topic suddenly run to me?

"In the future, you should forget about your lover," the emperor's order cannot be violated, "Unless someone dies between you and Liang Zhecheng, otherwise, this marriage can only be completed, and there is no other way." ”

If you run away from marriage, it will be the sin of the Nine Clans.

"So, let's get along with him more in the future," Xin Xin put down the tea bowl, "Liang Zhecheng, although he is a little stupid, can see that he treats you sincerely." ”

"Uh-huh" Zhezhe scratched his head, not wanting to discuss the matter anymore, "it's not too early, I have to go back, I still have some things to do!" ”

After saying that, he fled and left.

"It's useless to run away," Xin Xin looked at her back, said lightly, and closed his eyes in the chair.

How difficult it will be in the days to come!
