In the ninth year of Dayin's prosperity, there were people in the country who returned to the dynasty in triumph.

This return of the army to the dynasty means that the Great Yin Dynasty has no war for at least 50 years, because His Royal Highness the beloved Crown Prince led his troops to conquer the East China Sea five years ago, and then drove hundreds of miles outside the pass after the treacherous Mongol Tartars were severely damaged this time. The commander of the Mongol army was annihilated, all the heirs of the khan were captured, and the entire tribe could not recover in forty or fifty years.

"Now it's time for Jingshi to be lively again! I heard that I would arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and the queen asked Lord Luo to take the people of the Jinyi Division to meet her outside Beijing! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so heroic! ……”

Xu Minqiu listened silently to the sisters' discussion for a long time, then got up and went back to the room.

He has been there for two years, and of course the queen will miss him. Even she misses her a little.

I just don't know, he still remembers her.

Xu Minqiu's face flushed, like a red apple on the table.

**

Yin Xu's heart is like an arrow.

This battle actually lasted for two years, which greatly exceeded his expectations! He originally planned to call him a day and a half at most, but who expected that the Tartars would be cunning and unite with other tribes to fight back, so that he had to stay for a few more months and drive them to the bottom of the Tianshan Mountains. This time, he didn't catch up with her birthday.

Well, he has never been in such a hurry because of a woman, even if it is his mother, he has never been so always concerned, of course, this is also because the queen mother is not rare for him to remember, what year's birthday did she not wait for him to kowtow to his younger siblings and leave his father alone, and split them apart?

He remembered that when he was ten years old, the two of them secretly went out of the palace to watch a play! Looking at him, he didn't know.

However, since they like to hide it, he is kind enough not to break it.

He remembered very well that that day he followed behind his father's toilet and watched the two of them enter the theater club in ordinary dress, and Master Luo secretly opened the way for them. He had never been in that kind of place, but when he saw the two of them entering, he handed the money to Xiao Er, and used a folding fan to block his face and enter the door.

Who knew that when he turned the corner, he bumped into someone, it was a little girl with watery and innocent eyes, and her body was very delicate, and she fell to the ground when he hit him like this, and looked at him with wide eyes.

He hurriedly pulled her up and pulled her aside with his back to his parents: "Did it hurt?" ”

She nodded, shook her head again, and looked at him, not even daring to speak.

He's not happy, is he so terrible? "If you hurt, say, why are you so?"

Who knew that when she heard this, she seemed to be hurt, and immediately puffed out her cheeks and said, "I don't want to be a coward, I don't say it because I know who you are." Is it because I was hit that I have to entangle with the crown prince about this?! ”

He froze. She actually knew him?

"Who are you? What's your father's name? Where to be on an errand? ”

He dragged her against the wall and said viciously. She looks like she is ** years old at most, she actually knows him, and she can talk to him so confidently, shouting loudly in such a public, if the queen mother sees it, he can't escape after a meal!

She was clasped by the shoulders and had no choice but to say: "I am the eldest granddaughter of Xu Jin, the governor of the political affairs. ”

Xu Jin's eldest granddaughter? He looked her up and down suspiciously. Although her temperament is not bad, but her clothes are ordinary, thanks to his almighty aunt, he now has a general understanding of the popular styles of clothes for the ladies in Beijing, and the appearance of her clothes in front of her is still the style of a few years ago, and the color is also old. Xu Jin is the second grade of the dynasty, why does she look like she is from a small family?

He squinted at her.

She stood up, straightened her chest and tugged at the hem of her clothes, and said, "I know you're suspicious of me." But this has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

With that, she walked away with her chin raised.

Yin Xu didn't have the heart to watch the drama anymore.

When he returned to the palace, he began to investigate the affairs of the Xu family.

The next day, he heard that Xu Jin was in the house, so he came to visit with Xie Kuang.

Uncle Xie Lang has a very good relationship with Xu Jin, and Xie Kuang often interacts with the Xu family, but Xie Kuang is not clear about the affairs of the Xu family's inner house. I only know that the eldest girl of the Xu family is called Xu Minqiu, her biological mother died early, and her stepmother is a delicate person, and she gave birth to two sons in a row after passing the door, and her status in the Xu family is not low.

Xie Kuang is familiar with the history of the Xie family, so he has a good grasp of these keywords about the back house.

Yin Xu began to believe that the stubborn girl was Xu Minqiu, so he took Xie Kuang to visit.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person, and the Xu family should have greeted him in person. It's just that Xie Kuang often comes and goes in the house, and the children of the same age of the Xu family didn't expect Yin Xu to follow, so this trip is very low-key.

Xie Kuang tactfully asked the young masters of the Xu family about the girls, everyone was not very old, and they often met in one place. The young masters did not doubt it, so they invited the girls to come out and speak.

There is no Xu Minqiu among them.

Yin Xu asked, "Which of you is the eldest girl in the house?" ”

The girls shook their heads and argued: "The eldest girl secretly left the house the day before yesterday and was punished by her grandfather to go to the grange. ”

Just because he went out of the house, he was punished and went to the grange?

Yin Xu recalled her shabby in the drama club and began to understand her situation in the Xu family.

When he arrived at Xujia Grange, he saw her learning to spin cotton with her old mother in Zhuangzi. Her smile was so cheerful under the spring day, it was as bright as the sun.

The village woman who spun the yarn spotted him, and she stood up with her big eyes open.

He got off the horse without changing his face and heartbeat, dragging a small bench and sitting down beside him, "Knit me a pair of socks too!" He didn't lack socks, he just felt happy to watch her do things in the sun.

And she actually refused him: "Men and women don't kiss, why should I knit socks for you." ”

"Because I'm the crown prince." He's nasty. He had never been so shameless, but in order to bully her, he didn't mind making himself so shameless and hateful.

She pursed her lips and looked at him, probably wanting to glare at him, but she didn't dare.

He laughed, got on his horse, and walked up the avenue with his hooves raised.

He had no intention of meddling in other people's family affairs, and on the way to the Grange, he really wanted to see if he could help, after all, with the girl's grinding, he didn't know when he would be able to return to the city. But seeing her smile so calmly and happily, he felt that maybe she didn't need to do it herself, she could do it herself.

After going up the avenue for a long time, he found out under the reminder of the guards that she had actually chased after her with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

From Zhuangzi to here, she actually ran all the way.

He frowned and turned around and ran back, looking at her who was tired and lying under the horse with a pale face, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place: "Useless woman! ”

She panted and raised her head, her eyes showing deep longing: "I'll knit socks for you, but don't tell anyone that you've seen me?" Even if someone saw you coming to see me just now, please don't admit it when someone asks about you! I would say I don't know anyone. You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I can't afford to provoke ......"

Just because he is the crown prince, she is going to put herself to death? Just because he wants to protect his reputation, he doesn't hesitate to run five or six miles to catch up?

"Get on the horse!" He said.

She looked up, a little dazed.

"Get on the horse!" He stretched out a hand, his face as calm as water. "Don't make me say it a third time!"

She stared at his face for a moment before she held out her hand tremblingly.

He covered her with a cloak and took her straight to Xu's house.

When the Xu family saw that the eldest girl who had been exiled from their family came back with him, they could stuff eggs in their mouths.

"The palace passed by Xu Aiqing's grange, and saw a girl who was bullied, and inquired about the eldest lady of your mansion, so I sent it back for Lord Xu."

He stood in the main hall of the Xu family with a horsewhip and spoke, and his attitude was no better than when facing the envoys of Dongying, "The emperor often teaches the courtiers to 'cultivate both inside and outside', since they are in charge of the errands in the public school, they are also good at controlling the voice of the house." Put the huge mansion and don't let the big girl live in the house, but send her to the grange to be punished by the people, if it weren't for the palace happened to pass by to save the big girl today, whose body would it be who lost it? ”

The Xu family all knelt down and were silent.

He glanced at her kneeling underneath and walked out the door.

After that, he didn't go to Xu's house for several months.

"Your Highness, where are all these things you brought back?"

The voice of the eunuch Zheng Qiu interrupted his fugue, and he didn't know when, he had already returned to Yongfu Palace after bidding farewell to his father and queen mother from Zhongcui Palace. In front of him, there were two ** bags of gadgets brought back from Beijiang, including the beaded hairpin jewelry of the woman over there, and the utensils carved with various patterns, all of which he usually collected when he was fine.

Wei Ziqing covered his mouth and smiled beside him, and said, "Who wants these things?" Just send it directly to the Xu family! ”

Yin Gu ran past her: "Big brother, leave some for me, I'll send it to my aunt's sister Qian!" ”

Yin Xu tapped his chestnut: "I told you to go with me, but you didn't go, come back and pick up the ready-made!" ”

Yin Gu held his head and said wrongly: "Where am I not going?" It was the queen mother who said that I was not under thirteen years old and could not go! After that, he dragged Wei Ziqing's sleeve again: "Sister Qing won't help me plead!" ”

Wei Ziqing shook the fan and stood up: "I'm too lazy to take care of your, I'll go play with Man'er!" ”

Xu Minqiu finished handling the accounts of the long room and took the tea to taste.

Since she was ten years old, she began to take revenge on her stepmother Liu, and she has not been idle for the past six years, first gaining the support and love of her grandparents, and then letting her father gradually dislike Liu, and finally successfully holding the middle feed of the long house in her hand, and began to be able to straighten her waist to be the eldest girl of the Xu family.

She wasn't born to be a scheming woman, even if she wanted to resist, she wanted her a chance. Liu's face-saving efforts are not leaky, so that she can't find the slightest loophole to play. She was able to successfully roll over, 1152
