Originally, in the minds of the young Murong sisters and brothers, the King of Beiliang was just an empty title, in the unreachable border of Beiliang, behind him were a vast number of iron horses, 300,000? They couldn't imagine what kind of number this was. Such a big vassal king, who is privately called the second emperor, should be a terrifying hero who can make the dynasty shake three times with a stomp of his feet, but originally had nothing to do with them, until when Murong Wuzhu and Murong Tong Huang arrived at the palace, stayed in Wutong Garden, and took advantage of the east wind of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he slaughtered people on a table several times, although he never dared to face it, but he seemed to feel that this General Xu was not a moody old man, on the contrary, he was very talkative in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and even they could see that the Beiliang Palace, the most effective thing to speak was not this vassal king, but his eldest son Xu Fengnian。 Not to mention that Murong Wuzhu didn't understand, even Emperor Murong Tong was confused, so he had to tremble and live in the Wutong Courtyard, since it was under the fence, he should have the consciousness of being cautious in everything, the two sisters and brothers rarely went out of the hospital to relax, fortunately, there was nothing missing in the courtyard, and the ancient collections of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and books were all priceless.

However, the maids in the courtyard who were strangely named did not give any good faces, the big maid sweet potato was okay, more amiable and kind, and the second-class maids of cucumber and green ants all raised their eyebrows, which made Murong Wuzhu tremble, the so-called prime minister's concierge and the prince steward Saijun Shou, how could she not be afraid, but Murong Tonghuang was relatively tough, and he borrowed books from the maid or something, and he was right.

It is said that this Qingzhou woman named Lu Chengyan was born in the family of Gaomen, the ancestor of the family is the dynasty Shangzhu country, and her father Lu Dongjiang is already a county guard, she brought a young servant with heavy pupils into the house, and later met with His Royal Highness the prince, the young man with strange heavy pupils went to the border, these gossip spread quickly in Wutong Garden, but it was limited to this courtyard, if the Murong sisters and brothers were somewhat unable to fight and hide, then the woman who came out of this first-class mansion competed with those maidsWhen His Royal Highness the Prince was there, the women still maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, and when His Royal Highness the Prince went out, the sky changed, a room of women, all of them were good at killing people without seeing blood, it seemed to be more powerful than hundreds of flying swords coming and going, Murong Wuzhu admired that Lu Chengyan very much, and watched from afar several times, listening to her speak softly, but it could suffocate people, I heard that she might be the first concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince in the future, Murong Wuzhu thought to himself that only such a smart and fearless woman is worthy of the Beiliang side concubine。

King Beiliang walked into the Wutong Garden alone, except for the sweet potatoes who came forward to give blessings, the rest of the women stood far away, doing what they should do, this is also the old rule, and the sweet potatoes did not accompany them all the way, for them, if they want to live comfortably in the Wutong Garden, the most important thing is not to do anything, but not to do anything. Xu Xiao went directly to the room of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, did not sit down, walked and stopped, seemed to help collect some small objects, the room was really spacious, and the light was good, so that it was full of dazzling rare playthings and was not cramped, in the dusk, the bookcase near the window was covered with twilight afterglow, glowing with warm pale yellow, Xu Xiao stretched out his calloused hand, slowly slid over the edge of the bookcase, after stopping, there was no movement for a long time, as if he remembered something, smiled lightly, retracted his hand, put his hands in his sleeves, faced the window, and looked out of the window from the window.

Xu Xiao turned around and looked at the girl of the Lu family standing at the door, beckoned and smiled: "Cheng Yan is here, come in and sit and talk, and talk to your uncle." ”

Lu Dongyan entered the room, and after Xu Xiao sat down, he chose an embroidered stool to sit slightly restrained. Xu Xiao smiled and said: "Uncle is busy, and the hospitality is not good during this time, don't arrange Uncle Lu Zhuguo when you go back." ”

Lu Dongyan shook his head and smiled: "No." ”

Xu Xiao laughed, paused, fell into memory, and said with emotion: "I remember the first time I entered the Beijing Saint, it was Corporal Lu Lao Shangshu Lixian, who took me, a young martial artist, to the Jinluan Palace, which is considered to be the part of the road we walked together. At that time, I still wondered, how could a dignified second-grade official Shangshu be willing to walk side by side with a small military attache from the sixth rank who had just been awarded, not too much to lose, now Uncle Xu understands, I have heard that Shangzhuguo understands some of the Wei Qing Bag, it seems that he is waiting for this day, I want to know the Tao at that time, and I must have the courage to slander the old fox. ”

Lu Dongyan, who knew that there was such an incense love in the Dao, pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were pure, and she did not reveal too much awe and curiosity.

Xu Xiao's tone was a little lighter, and said: "Uncle Xu has also heard some about Beiliang here, you Nizi has only one foot to Beiliang, Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu The two old guys are making noise in the capital, remember Cheng Yan, you didn't go to the two of them when you were a child, the two old men really don't miss the old love at all, the old bullies just bully the young, live a lot of age, the more you live, the more you go back, if it weren't for Lu Zhuguo supporting the overall situation in Qingzhou these years, not to mention the blue eyes making it bad, there would have been no Qingdang anymore." But then again, if you don't say kind words to your family, if Lao Shangshu grits his teeth and holds on, although the Qing Party can continue to live for a few years, but your Lu family will be crushed to death by Wen Hong, if Lao Shangshu is not completely dead to the Qing Party created by himself, he will never let you come to Beiliang, so that the Qing Party has broken off the only breath left. ”

Lu Chengyan whispered: "The ancestor said that at his age, everything that should be enjoyed has been enjoyed, and it is time to benefit his descendants." ”

Xu Xiao finally smiled and nodded: " I like Lao Shangshu to be a honest person to tell the truth, to speak from the heart, Uncle has not had much ill feeling towards the Green Party, to fame, fortune, power and officials, straight to the point, everything and everyone are thrown on the scales, how many catties and taels are weighed to buy and sell, there is no ambiguity, dealing with such a character, in fact, it doesn't take much effort, Wen Hong and the two old people are not dead, in the capital with Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang did not learn the skin, the bad is full of learning, the original Qing Party did not have the auxiliary political talents and warp and weft strategy, where can the Youth Party withstand a few times of others to make a fuss, scattering will fall apart, it's a pity。 ”

Lu Chengyan naturally didn't dare to talk.

Xu Xiao laughed at himself: "What to do with you, Uncle originally wanted to be a family member with you, alas, as soon as this person is old, he will be confused." ”

Lu Chengyan blinked her eyes and said softly, "Uncle Xu, can you tell me about His Royal Highness the Prince when he was a child?"

Xu Xiao made a vague gesture of waving his hand, but instead of rejecting the proposal of the Lu family's girl, he retreated from the hidden dead man, and then smiled at Lu Chengyan and said, "This statement may not be able to stop when it will stop." ”

Lu Chengyan smiled brightly and said, "Wait until Uncle Xu says he's tired!"

Xu Xiao beckoned, obviously in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, sit close and say, Uncle likes to nag about this, he didn't let him say it when Feng Nian was there, Uncle couldn't find anyone who was willing to listen to these sincerely, and I happened to catch you, just right." ”

Time passed, and Lesie Lu realized that Uncle Xu was actually a very talkative old man, talking about the interesting stories of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's childhood, the gray and white sparse eyebrows were full of doting and pride, at this time, Uncle Xu was no different from the kind ancestors in his own family, and when he talked about the children and grandchildren in his eyes, he was reluctant to use a heavy tone. During the period, the big girl sweet potato came in with a food box, filled with exquisite pastries and thirst-quenching melons and fruits, the old man talked about Xing, there was no shelf at all, several times he peeled sweet oranges for Lu Chengyan, the night lighting of His Royal Highness the prince was not a blue paste candle, there were many mysterious mechanisms on the beams in the house, I don't know how the sweet potato moved, it revealed many night pearls inlaid in it, the house was bright as day, the key is that the light is soft, and it will not make people feel dazzling and tired for a long time, Lu Chengyan did not see the ordinary luxury of Zhong Ming Ding Shi in the imagination of the world in the Beiliang Palace, but saw the heritage and spirit of Beiliang in countless details。 It wasn't until Sweet Potato handed over a gorgeous embroidered velvet cushion that Lu Chengyan saw the warmth in the eyes of this first-class maid, as well as the slightly upturned corners of the plump beauty's mouth, that she knew that she had barely integrated into Wutong Garden at this moment.

As the sky got darker, Xu Xiao finally stood up, didn't want Lu Chengyan to send him off, walked straight out of the house, and when he arrived at the yard, he shouted sweet potatoes.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard together, and Xu Xiao said flatly: "The original intention was to let you go with Feng Nian, so that you can take care of yourself, but first, he didn't agree, and second, this courtyard can't be without you." ”

Sweet potato said softly: "Blue bird." ”

There was a hint of helplessness in Xu Xiao's tone, and he said with a smile: "This dead-eyed girl, kneeling for a night, waiting for me to nod, took the gun and went out of the room, I don't dare to tell Feng Nian about this stubble until now, for fear of being scolded for being scolded." ”

Sweet potato smiled, the maid in Wutong Garden, counting her and the king of Beiliang in front of her the most talkative, except for father and son, no one knew that she was a dead soldier left by the princess.

Xu Xiao sighed softly and said, "After the fat tiger is gone, you are like Feng Nian's sister." ”

Sweet potato was about to speak, Xu Xiao waved his hand and said: "You and the Lu family girl are all the way, take care of her more in the future, the water and soil of Beiliang are completely different from Qingzhou, no matter how smart a woman is, she won't be able to adapt to it for a while." We can't transplant a good Qingzhou peony in the Beiliang land, so let's just leave it alone. But you remember, in a few days, when you pass the news to her, you will say that the heavy pupil is dead, see her reaction, if this level is passed, you and Chu Lushan will start to prepare for her marrying into the Xu family. If she doesn't pass the test, she will be treated as if she didn't have the life of the side princess. ”

Sweet potato nodded. Xu Xiao walked to the gate of the courtyard and asked with a smile: "You said that the king had a conversation with her today, will she be pampered and proud in the future, or will she not be surprised? You are a woman, and you understand women's minds better." ”

Sweet potato hesitated, shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare to say anything." ”

Xu Xiao was not embarrassed by this big girl of Wutong Garden, and walked out of the yard alone.

Lu Chengyan in Wutong Garden should be full of joy, but in fact, her hands and feet are cold, and even she doesn't understand why this is so.

Xu Xiao came to Tingchaohu to relax, and saw Pei Nanwei, the princess of Jing'an, sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and Shu Xi, who was inseparable from the princess of the dynasty according to his instructions, the two women were separated by more than ten steps, Shu Xi's duty was only to observe Princess Pei's words and deeds. At first, Pei Nanwei was very disgusted with the staring and observation of this Beiliang servant, but Shu was ashamed and longed that Princess Pei's true feelings would be revealed as much as possible, so she didn't care whether Pei Nanwei was resentful and angry, and when she arrived at Beiliang Palace, what kind of princess are you Princess Jing'an? Later, Pei Nanwei simply ignored Shu Shay, and for some reason went to this gloomy palace that the court and the rivers and lakes were afraid of, but she really settled down and lived in a lakeside garden, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was delicate, and specially let people get a few acres of reeds, and open the window to enjoy the scenery, although it is not as good as the reeds outside Xiangfan City, so that Pei Nanwei, who pretended to be calm and cold, only revealed a little festivity at the top of his eyebrows, no matter how big the reeds were, it was not hers after all, the few acres of reeds in the Beiliang Palace, no matter how small, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World said that it was hers.

Xu Xiao walked into the Huxin Pavilion, Shu Xi had already knelt silently, Pei Nanwei quickly got up to give blessings, and said softly: "The people's daughter see General Xu." ”

"No need to be polite. ”

Xu Xiao quipped: "You and the sissy Zhao Heng, this king seems to have to be reversed, you are the king of Jing'an, and he will be the princess of Jing'an." ”

Pei Nanwei looked bitter.

Xu Xiao didn't sit down and said, "Pei Nanwei, there is no restriction on your entry and exit from the mansion in the future." ”

Pei Nanwei subconsciously got up and saluted again, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the grace of General Da." ”

Xu Xiao smiled, walked out of the pavilion, and muttered, "You daughter-in-law here, you have a lot of rules." ”

Pei Nanwei was stunned, and then her pretty face turned red.

Shu Xi's eyes were tight with envy.

Xu Xiao walked back to his room slowly, except for the two sons and two daughters under his knees, there would definitely be no outsiders here, even if Chen Zhibao and these righteous sons had something to report, they just went out of the courtyard door, and then went to a nearby anecdote pavilion study to discuss important military matters.

There is only one loquat tree in the courtyard.

In the night, Xu Xiao stood under the tree, stunned, and returned to the not spacious and luxurious house, simple and simple, there were two hangers in the outhouse, Xu Xiao bent down and pulled out a box from under the table, and after opening it, it was not a rare treasure, but a box full of cloth shoes. Xu Xiao took out a pair of half-sewn thick-soled cloth shoes and a sewing box, lit the candle, skillfully bit the needle, wrapped his fingers around the silk thread, and began to sew the shoes.

Not far away, there are two hangers, with a set of general armor and a Beiliang King python robe.

Outside the window, there is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death, and now it is like a pavilion. My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No.[1655]
