Xie Zhiyun's apricot eyes drooped slightly, and he glanced critically at the palm of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Mu Yun.

Mama Jia asked Mu Yun to summon Chaoyu, and a pair of halberds smiled and said, "Uncle, wait a minute, it's been cold recently, and Miss is delicate, so she still has to wear a cloak." ”

Wei Ji nodded at her, and didn't go into the main room, still leaning against the screen, looking at Xie Zhiyun lightly.

Xie Zhiyun was talking softly to Mu Yun, her gaze did not fall on the halberd, but glanced at his waist.

Although he is a military attaché, the guard always has a piece of mutton fat white jade on his waist.

The white jade is the style of the Ruyi buckle, simple and simple, and the color is also very average, not a rare thing.

Xie Zhiyun has sharp eyes, and he has found that he never leaves him from the day he got married.

However, Xie Zhiyun didn't want to say much about these trivial things, so he didn't ask in detail.

The halberd seems to be approachable, but he never says more than half a word when he can't speak, and talking to him is sometimes tiring.

Mu Yun finally put a tourmaline hairpin in her hair, and Xie Zhiyun was satisfied.

She seemed to gossip casually: "I heard that there is a guest at home, is it a distinguished guest or a distant guest?" ”

Wei Ji didn't look at Mama Jia, but said, "I don't know." ”

He said he didn't know, he really didn't know, it seems that this visitor came to the door in a hurry, and even the halberd didn't know the roots.

At this time, the morning rain also arrived, Xie Zhiyun put on a cloak and went out of the Chunhua Court with the halberd.

Although the Wei family has become extremely noble and powerful, and the North Vietnamese clan can only shrink to Yingzhou and dare not go anywhere, the family still maintains the old habits.

If it weren't for the fact that today's Duchess Cui was also born in a clan, I am afraid that this Guogong Mansion would also be built in a scattered manner, and I can't bear to look at it.

The halberd strode ahead, Xie Zhiyun followed in small steps, she was wrapped in a cloak, but she was not afraid of the winter cold at all.

In winter, Yezhou is not as cold as the northwest, and the Ziming River in the city has never frozen, and it still trickles and flows into the Changshan River.

As soon as he walked thirty or fifty steps out of Chunhua Courtyard, Xie Zhiyun snorted: "What are you doing walking so fast?" ”

Wei Ji's footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head to look, and saw Xie Zhiyun walking slowly behind him, as if enjoying the winter scenery in the garden, and did not catch up with his footsteps.

He frowned, but he didn't get entangled, he only said: "I have something to discuss with my father, so I will go first, you can go to Rongjingtang slowly." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Xie Zhiyun's reaction, and the meteor disappeared between the rockeries.

Xie Zhiyun was angry: "You person! ”

said that he was going to go to Rongjingtang together, and he deliberately went to wait for her, but at this time, he left by himself, and I don't know if he was careful or careless.

Chaoyu patted Xie Zhiyun's back lightly: "Wouldn't it be right for my uncle to go first?" Let's come out early, and we can walk around the yard for a while. ”

Coming out of the Chunhua Garden is the newly renovated garden in Fuzhong, called Baifang Garden, which was planted with green chrysanthemums earlier, but Xie Zhiyun didn't like the color, and the day before yesterday it was replaced by camellia that can bloom in winter.

The shape of the Suguo Mansion is modeled after the old system of North Vietnam, and most of the mansions are single-courtyard bureaus, surrounding the main building, with pavilions and gardens, so that they can form a family reunion.

Wei Ji is the eldest son, so the Chunhua Courtyard where they live is near Rongjing Hall, and it can be reached within a short walk.

Xie Zhiyun looked at the camellia that was in full bloom, and there was a little more smile between his eyebrows: "This camellia is still beautiful." ”

Chaoyu said: "Miss has always had a good eye. ”

As the master and servant walked, they came to a path that was quiet and covered with dense holly for two weeks, and was still as green as new even on a cold winter day.

On one side of the trail, there is the Taihu Lake Stone rewarded by the Emperor of the Apocalypse of Beiyue, which is towering and rugged, and the strange rocks are craggy, which is very beautiful.

Chaoyu lowered his voice: "Miss, it's time to go to Rongjingtang." ”

Xie Zhiyun nodded, holding her hand and was about to turn around, when he heard a voice from the other side.

There is another pavilion behind the Taihu Lake Stone, and the sound should come from there, faintly, but it is really heard in the path.

I only heard an unfamiliar female voice say: "Why did my sister-in-law rush to set up a marriage for Boqian?" Now that the marriage contract has been completed, what should Chun'er do when she finds a home? ”

Bo Qian is the word for the halberd.

Xie Zhiyun's heart jumped, she subconsciously clenched her palms, and the smile on her face disappeared with the wind.

There was naturally more than one person in the gazebo, and after the woman finished speaking, another voice became familiar.

That's Xie Zhiyun's mother-in-law, Cui.

Cui's voice was gentle, and his words were soothing: "My sister-in-law has been gone for six years, and many letters from the house have said that Wen Chun has not been found, and seeing that Boqian has passed the age of a weak crown, it is really inappropriate if he does not give him a marriage match." ”

"My sister-in-law is Boqian's aunt, and she should feel sorry for Boqian."

Cui Ji's words are gentle, but there is a knife in his words, which pierces the heart of the man.

Sure enough, the man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and only then did he finally say: "Sister-in-law, this is treacherous and broke off the marriage that had been settled a long time ago." ”

Cui Ji is still gentle: "Sister-in-law, this is the marriage set by Grandpa Guo." ”

Xie Zhiyun didn't listen to the next words, she tried her best to suppress the surprise in her heart, and took Chaoyu's hand and walked out of the trail lightly.

Chaoyu's complexion is also not good.

The family of the gate valve pays the most attention to filial piety and loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and honesty, especially in marriage.

Xie Zhiyun remembered that when the two families were discussing family affairs, his father-in-law personally said that Wei Ji had never been married, why did he have a fiancée today?

Chaoyu asked in a low voice, "Miss, what can I do about this?" ”

Xie Zhiyun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "The person who came should be the sister of Grandpa Guo, Wei Ying, who married Huzhou Mu in her early years, I remember that my father once said that she had a very poor relationship with Huzhou Mu, and she had no children after ten years of marriage. ”

In the early years, ten of the sixteen states of North Vietnam rebelled, Wei Cang was the achievement of hegemony in the troubled times, when Wei Ying's first husband died early, she was young and widowed, Wei Cang made the decision to marry her to the Huzhou pastor who had just returned to Shun.

Wei Ying was originally unwilling, but she couldn't screw her brother, so she had to remarry in tears.

Therefore, she has not returned to the Wei family once in these years, even if Wei Cangquan is now leaning towards the government and the opposition, and is the Duke of Su Guo who is above 10,000 people under one person, she does not interact with Wei Cang.

Because of this, when Xie Zhiyun guessed who was coming, he directly skipped her.

But I didn't expect this aunt to return to the Suguo Mansion.

Chao Yu naturally didn't know this, and after listening to Xie Zhiyun's words, Chao Yu was a little flustered: "What Mrs. Fang Cai said about the gentleness, is it ......?" ”

But after three or five sentences, Xie Zhiyun had already come to her senses, she slowly exhaled, trying to calm her mood.

Xie Zhiyun's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was clearly alienation and indifference between his eyebrows.

"No matter who Wen Chun is, now I am the wife of the prince of the Suguo Mansion, whether the Wei family is deceived or repentant, the ending cannot be changed."

Xie Zhiyun is worthy of being the daughter of a big family, she is not flustered at all, after she calmed down, she said to Chaoyu: "You know this matter, don't talk to Muyun and Mama, don't worry, this is just a trivial matter." ”

Even so, when she met Ji Xiuxiu, the third brother's wife, at the door of Rongjingtang, the smile on her face still looked a little cold.

Xie Zhiyun thinks that she is the daughter of a family, and she always treats people with courtesy, elegance and generosity, so even for Ji Xiuxiu, she has always been a dignified and decent sister-in-law.

Ji Xiuxiu's goose egg face was slightly plump, and before she walked in, Xie Zhiyun was dazzled by the row of golden hairpins on her head.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest sister-in-law?" Ji Xiuxiu's eyes rolled, and she immediately asked, "Why didn't you come with your eldest brother?" ”

Xie Zhiyun's footsteps paused slightly, she looked at Ji Xiuxiu and smiled faintly: "Didn't the third brother come with the third brother-in-law?" ”

Ji Xiuxiu's face changed slightly, but she reached out to support Jin Buyan on her head: "My husband has something to ask my father-in-law, so I will let him come first." ”

"And so it is." Xie Zhiyun lightly lost two words, and took Chaoyu's hand and entered Rongjingtang directly.

Ji Xiuxiu was left standing at the door, looking at her graceful back and rolling her eyes.

"Proud of what?" Ji Xiuxiu said to her maid ingots, "They will take care of the daughters of the family, their Xie family is a papier-mâché lantern, and they are only glamorous if they play with their lives and light wax." ”

Yuan Bao hurriedly pulled her sleeve: "Miss! ”

Ji Xiuxiu snorted, she stood at the door and touched up the makeup powder on her face, and then entered Rongjingtang with her head held high.

When Xie Zhiyun arrived at Rongjingtang, the whole family had almost arrived.

In addition to the husband and wife and the guests, there were already many people sitting in the reception room.

Wei Ji was talking to the third brother Wei Rong, and the second brother Wei Yao and the second brother Yu Hanzhao were sitting on the side, and the husband and wife were eating tea by themselves, and no one cared about anyone.

The eldest lady Wei Ningshu sat at the table with her head down, quietly listening to the little lady Wei Ning'an, and the whole ceremony was full of joy, a scene of family prosperity.

Hearing footsteps, the halberd raised his eyes and glanced towards the door.

Xie Zhiyun happened to meet his inquiring gaze, and immediately remembered the aunt's words in his ears, and the temper he suppressed still came up, and he couldn't help but glare at him.

Halberd: "......"

Wei Ji didn't know why she was angry again, so he didn't pester her, but only talked to the third brother.

Wei Rong has just turned eighteen this year, the youngest of the three brothers, he has a delicate face and a childish face, and he is the most normal-looking of the three brothers.

He said rightly: "Thank you eldest brother for speaking for me, if it weren't for that, this board would not have escaped." ”

Wei Ji nodded lightly: "Your idea is very good, but you are too reckless, there will be no next time." ”

Wei Rong hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Yes, the little brother knows." ”

The work of these two sentences, Xie Zhiyun has already seen the etiquette with everyone in the room, no matter what the attitude is, there are always a lot of etiquette.

Xie Zhiyun took a few steps forward, and was about to sit down beside the halberd when he heard a female voice outside: "Why haven't the parents arrived, but the juniors have already sat down?" Who taught you the rules? ”

The voice was familiar and unfamiliar, but Xie Zhiyun had already heard it.

The person who spoke was Wei Ji's aunt, Huzhou Mu Lady Wei Ying.

Maybe...... She is also the adoptive mother of Wei Ji's former fiancée.
