Seeing Mo'er, Ru Yao approached and asked kindly,

"What's the matter, but what's the matter with Qingqing?"

"My girl invited Miss Xiao to visit the garden and wanted to call Ming Qi over."

"Okay, I'll take you there. How can I help preparing a feast? ”

Mo'er followed behind Ruyao, "The girls have all been arranged, the girls have been learning to be housekeepers in the past few days, and Steward Xu has taught the girls a lot." ”

"It's okay, let the girl invite a close friend to practice her skills first."

The two came to the door of the study as they spoke, Mo'er stood in place and bowed her head and waited, and Ruyao went in.

"Master, the girl invited Miss Xiao to visit the garden and called Ming Qi over."

Xu Ling nodded and looked at Ming Qi,

"Okay, Miss Xiao regards Ming Qi as a lifesaver, so she should let him go over to see him. Ming Qi, then you can go over and come back tomorrow. ”

For empty doors, the search is not an overnight thing, and it is certainly not advisable to rush to achieve results. Xu Ling understands this truth, and Ming Qi naturally understands it too.

Xiao Lanxin came in through the side door and brought two maids and four retinues.

Because of what happened last time, Land Rover was selected as Xiao Lanxin's personal guard. Xiaohong walked beside her to hold an umbrella, although Xiao Lanxin didn't distinguish the five colors, but in the past, the sun was strong because if she stayed outside for a long time, she always felt that her eyes hurt, so she had this habit.

Xu Qingyang got Xu Zhai's consent early in the morning and got bamboo from him, and wanted to make bamboo rice the staple food of inviting Xiao Lanxin today.

Xu Qian looked at the orderly busyness in the courtyard, and then looked at Xu Qingyang, who was listening to the report of his subordinates, and felt a little relieved in his heart.

At this age, if you can handle the things in the yard in an orderly manner, you must keep every one of them firmly in mind.

"Seeing this clearly, it's really a bit like my mother back then."

Several people also looked at Xu Qingyang, and Xu Su still remembers that when he was a child, he was by Zhang Zhao's side, and he saw such a calm scene.

Xiao Lanxin followed Xiangling in, and Xu Qingyang got up happily when he saw the person. Seeing that Xu Qingyang's feet were not complete, Xiao Lanxin hurriedly trotted over.

The four men stood from a distance and watched, Xu Qian folded the fan and fanned it,

"This woman, her eyebrows are clear and her eyes are beautiful, her lips are red without dots, Qingqing said that her face is beautiful, it is not appropriate, this should be the national color."

Xu Su looked at his brother with disdain, "Third brother, you won't be a spring heart, do you want your father to go and tell you a kiss?" ”

Xu Qian put away the fan and patted Xu Su's head,

"Stinky boy, is there a little bit of humility. I'm telling the truth, you two talk about it, is Miss Xiao very beautiful? ”

Lu Shixian nodded, "What the third brother said is right, Miss Xiao is indeed a national color." The cold temperament around her body, coupled with her countenance, makes people dare not approach easily. ”

Although Lu Shixian was praising Xiao Lanxin between the lines, he also indirectly said that he didn't like it.

Wen Chenan is more simple, "Miss Xiao is like a plum blossom, Ling Shuang is arrogant, and Qingqing is more like a peach blossom in Jiming Temple, and the temperament of the two is very different." ”

Xu Qian looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Commenting on a woman behind your back is not a gentleman's demeanor, let's go and make amends."

Xu Su was puzzled, "Why do you want our younger brothers to accompany you." ”

But I was worried that I would be beaten again, so I could only whisper, and I didn't want to, so I still stepped forward.

On the other side, the two girls were busy greeting.

"When I sent the invitation, I was very worried, I was afraid that you would not agree to me. Now that you're here, I'm in a good mood. ”

After the last incident, Xiao Lanxin also became close to Xu Qingyang, and naturally shook her hand.

"You have made me worry for a few days, my mother said that my daughter's family is injured just to have a good life, and it is right not to see guests, I understand the reason, but I am worried and worried. I brought some tonics, and you asked the female doctor in the house to read them and use some of them. ”

Xu Qingyang smiled and nodded, Xiangling took the things, and then looked at Xiaohong with an umbrella, and said,

"It's a hot day, so let's go into the house first. I asked people to prepare fresh fruits, and my sister and I relieved the heat together? ”

Xiao Lanxin lowered her head, and a trace of gloom crossed her eyes,

"It's not that I'm afraid of the heat, but I can't see the bright light, which makes my sister smile."

Xu Qingyang was startled at first, and then heard Xiao Lanxin continue,

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I just want you to take care of me."

At this time, Xu Qingyang remembered that there was something wrong with him,

"It's okay, I also have to use an umbrella on weekdays, and my brothers say I'm squeamish. When I saw my sister playing an umbrella, I felt that I had met the same person, but I didn't expect that I was still squeamish. ”

Xiao Lanxin lowered her head and smiled, and then Xu Qian's voice came from behind her,

"Who dares to say that my family is squeamish?"

Xiao Lanxin turned around, saw that people did not hesitate, and saluted in a proper manner,

"Lan Xin has seen a few sons."

The four men also returned the salute together,

"Miss Xiao."

Xiao Lanxin looked behind her, but she didn't see Ming Qi, and she was a little disappointed.

Xu Qingyang saw what she was thinking, and nodded at Xiangling, Xiangling understood, and immediately took half a step forward,

"Girl, the house is ready, and Ming Qi is waiting inside."

Xiao Lanxin instantly became interested,

"Ming Qi is here?"

"Yes," Xu Qingyang let go of Xiao Lan's heart, "There aren't many men in my yard, and most of them are in the kitchen today, so he went to help." Now that we're ready, let's go inside. ”

Several people entered Xu Qingyang's room, and the table was a round table, which could seat eight people. Because of the difference between men and women, Xiao Lanxin is Xu Qingyang on one side, and empty on the other.

"Sister Xiao, this is my third brother Xu Qian."

Xu Qian nodded slightly, and Xiao Lanxin smiled, "Jiankang's famous beautiful man, Lanxin is fortunate to meet today, if there are delicacies in the future, please ask the third prince to introduce you more." ”

"This is natural, Miss Xiao is the first person to be invited to the banquet by Qingqing, since she is the person Qingqing cares about, she doesn't have to be polite to us in the future."

Xu Qingyang continued to introduce, "This is my fourth brother Xu Su. ”

"I often hear my father mention that the fourth son is a natural good general, and when I see it today, he does have this style."

Xiao Cong is also a person that Xu Su admires very much, hearing his idol praise himself like this, Xu Su's joy is self-evident,

"General Xiao really praised me like that?"

"Since my father was injured, he has rarely dealt with military affairs, but he is willing to go back and forth to the military camp so frequently for the sake of the fourth son, which shows that he attaches great importance to the son. In addition, it has been a long time since no one has been called a general by my father's side, and if he doesn't really like his son, his father won't fail to correct it. ”

Xu Su seemed to have a fire in his heart at the moment, which was the passion to make a difference after being recognized. In the past, he thought it was his father's reason for being praised, but today let him know that it was Xiao Cong's real recognition of him.

"Third brother, don't keep asking. Sister Xiao, don't pay attention to him, this is Lu Shixian, the son of Fanyang Lu's family, and this is a student in the family, Wen Chen'an. ”

Hearing Xu Qingyang's introduction to himself, Wen Chen felt relieved. Wen is a background he doesn't want to admit, and he can accept the identity of Xu's student better.

"The Xu Mansion is really outstanding, and the two sons are so dignified, which is enviable."

"I don't need to introduce this one, Ming Qi."

Xiao Lanxin looked at Ming Qi, this was the first time she had taken a good look at her savior,

"Thanks to the rescue of the son that day, I don't know how to thank him, if I don't mind, I will ask the son to let the maid measure after dinner, I want to give the son a set of clothes."

Ming Qi looked at Xu Qingyang a little helplessly, and when he saw this, Xu Qingyang immediately responded,

"Okay, let's eat first."

After lunch, Xu Qian and the others left, and Xiao Lan did not forget to let Xiaohong measure Ming Qi.

"Third brother, why do I think that Miss Xiao is not ordinary to Ming Qi. It's rare for a woman to ignore you, Miss Xiao is really special. ”

Xu Qian knocked Xu Su's forehead,

"You know what, the grace of saving lives can be the same, what are you thinking about at a young age. Shixian Chen'an, don't learn from him. ”

The two people who were ordered looked at each other and smiled, and several people left Xiaoxiang Pavilion like this.

On the other side, Xu Qingyang personally sent Xiao Lanxin away, and when parting, Xiao Lanxin asked Xu Qingyang to cultivate well.

The lives of several juniors were going well, but Xu Ling's life was not so smooth.

Xu Nan passed the news, and after several days of investigation, the stronghold he found was empty as soon as his own people went, and it seemed that the empty door was going to lie dormant in Dazhou for a while.

Xu Ling, who couldn't find the enemy, was upset, but there was another incident at the border. At the junction of the Northern Desert and the Great Zhou, there was a rebellion by the Liukou, and when the soldiers of the Great Zhou pursued him, they accidentally injured the soldiers stationed in the Northern Desert.

Since this conflict, more than 100 troops from the Northern Desert have destroyed a camp in Dazhou. On the border here is the son of the prince that Xiao Yuhua wants to marry, Pei Jiancheng.

Pei Jiancheng's father, Pei Yunan, was stationed in Western Xia, and was originally just an ordinary border general. Later, when Xiao Ding raised troops to quell the rebellion, he received Pei Yunan's strong support, and the entire Western Xia backed Xiao Ding and resisted the advance of the Northern Desert.

The location of Western Xia is extremely important, with the Northern Desert to the north and Ningzuo to the west, and the place where the forces of the three kingdoms intersect cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness. Pei Yunan is a person supported by the emperor, deeply favored by the emperor, and his loyalty can be seen.

After Xiao Ding ascended the throne, the Northern Desert raised troops to attack, Pei Yunan defeated it with his own strength, Xiao Ding used this as a reason to name Pei Yunan as the king of the foreign surname and the king of Great Xia. His son Pei Jiancheng became the son of the family, and he married Xiao Yuhua to him.

Two years ago, when Pei Jiancheng was sixteen years old, he led an army to garrison the Northern Desert and built three military camps.

It was originally an extremely humiliating thing, but Beimo did not send troops to attack, and the news reached Xiao Dingna, which was greatly praised, and the world also admired Pei Jiancheng's young and brave.

In the eyes of those who understand, they know that it is a matter of self-directed and self-acting in the Northern Desert, and the summer is when the Northern Desert soldiers are strong and strong, and the grain and grass are abundant. If you can take the opportunity to win two battles with Western Xia, you can survive the winter safely as soon as the autumn harvest passes. If not, you can wait for the autumn harvest to make a decision.

Pei Jiancheng guessed that the Northern Desert would sneak attack, thinking that it would be late at night, but he didn't expect it to be early in the morning. This mistake caused him to lose a military camp, Pei Yunan heard that his son was bullied, and immediately sent 20,000 troops to support, and the Northern Desert also had a military transfer, and the war was about to break out, just waiting for Xiao Ding's decision.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ding discussed with everyone about this conflict.

"What do you think? To fight or not to fight? ”
