Knock knock!

Zhao Xiyan, who was immersed in his own world, was awakened, put down his sleeves, and sat up straight: "Who?" ”

"It's me, open the door."

It was the voice of grandmother Zhang.

Zhao Xiyan calmed down, got up and went to open the door. Standing outside the door, isn't it the Zhang family who is frowning? The eldest aunt Wu and the fifth cousin Zhao Suxin also came.

Zhang entered the room with a calm face.

It was already dark. The hosta hurriedly found a fire fold and lit the candlestick. The bright candle flame jumped, and the room soon lit up.

"After I finished worshipping the Buddha in the small Buddha hall, I realized that something big had happened today." Zhang looked at Zhao Xiyan's gaze with a little dissatisfaction: "What kind of Captain Murong is, who is the sacred, why did he suddenly come to the door?" ”

Zhao Xiyan thought for a while and replied: "Probably secretly admired me, so he sneaked into Zhaojiafang and wanted to see me." ”

Zhang: "......"

Zhang was choked and couldn't get up, and rubbed his chest with his hands: "Listen, is this what the girl who hasn't left the pavilion can say?" ”

"Of course I will pretend to outsiders," Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "When you talk to your grandmother, you don't have to scruples, you can say whatever you want." In short, my grandmother is reluctant to blame me. ”

Seeing that the elderly mother-in-law was so angry with her granddaughter that her nose was about to smoke, Wu Shi hurriedly coughed and played a round: "What Yue'er said is reasonable." Since the family talks behind closed doors, there is not so much care. Fortunately, that Captain Murong has already left, and this matter has been settled. ”

End?

This is just the beginning.

Zhao Xiyan sighed in his heart, and responded with a soft and obedient face: "What the eldest aunt said is true. ”

When Zhang saw Zhao Xiyan's appearance, he was angry. Anyway, the youngest son was not there, and she didn't have any worries about the old man's speech, so she opened her mouth and said, "In two months, it will be your birthday." After the ceremony, the family affairs were decided earlier. lest your face cause trouble. ”

Even Zhao Suxin felt that these words were harsh, and whispered: "Grandmother, the beauty of the crescent moon is innate, and it is not her fault that some people admire the crescent moon." ”

Zhang snorted unreasonably: "Why not?" It is said that the red face is a disaster, in my opinion, this beauty will bring trouble to the Zhao family sooner or later! ”

Disaster in disguise.

These four familiar words pierced Zhao Xiyan's heart.

That's how the world is. The mistakes of what men do can always be attributed to women.

Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes to look at Zhang, and suddenly said, "What grandmother said also has some truth. If there really is a day, I would rather ruin my own face than implicate my people. ”

Wu's Zhao Suxin's mother and daughter were taken aback, and they all said: "Crescent moon, this can't be nonsense. ”

That is, beauty and wisdom are gifts from God. You are the treasure of the Zhao family, but it is not a drag. ”

Zhang was also a little stunned.

She just said it casually, how could Zhao Xiyan react so violently?

Since she was a child, this girl has sharp teeth, and she is often so angry that her nose is crooked and her mouth is slanted. What's going on today?

Zhang coughed a little awkwardly and slowed down his voice: "I didn't speak properly just now, you girl, why are you still angry with your grandmother." ”

"Rest well! When your great uncle returns, I will tell him about it. Let him send more people to guard the gate. ”

Zhang and Wu left, and Zhao Suxin deliberately stayed.

"Crescent moon, you really scared my grandmother just now." Zhao Suxin held Zhao Xiyan's hand and whispered: "I was also taken aback by you." Now there is no one else, just the two of us. You tell me the truth, you and that Captain Murong have really never met? ”

A lie requires countless lies to come true.

Zhao Xiyan swallowed helplessness and nodded: "I haven't even been out of Beihai County, how can I see a disciple of a general in the capital." ”

That's just as well.

Zhao Suxin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that it is indeed admired." Your reputation as the first beauty in Qingzhou has really spread far and wide. ”

"It's a pity that I accompanied my grandmother to worship the Buddha, but I couldn't come out in time, and I didn't see the demeanor of the hero of the world saving beauty."

Zhao Xiyan recalled the previous scene, and the sweetness that surged quickly dispelled the gloom in his heart, and his eyebrows and eyes bent.

Oh, yes! This life has been completely different.

Xu Jing will live well, and she will also live the peaceful life she wants.

……

Beihai Palace.

In the spacious and luxurious dining room, Ma Sansi sat on the top. Xie Junshou and General Zheng each sat down with their heads.

A handsome and elegant man dressed in plain clothes stepped in.

Xie Junshou and General Zheng each stood up to greet each other. Zhao Yuanming now has no official or position, but he is the first champion in Beihai County for decades, and he is a learned Qingzhou Confucian, and the Xie family and the Zheng family have sons and daughters under Zhao Yuanming.

Zhao Yuanming returned the salute with a smile.

Ma Sansi didn't move, and said with a smile: "After more than 20 years, Zhao Hanlin's demeanor is still the same. Our family has always been thinking about Zhao Hanlin in our hearts, lest Zhao Hanlin be frustrated when he was young, but he was relieved when he saw it today. ”

Zhao Yuanming's eyes swept and fell on Ma Gonggong's face: "It turns out that Qin Cha is Ma Gonggong, I haven't seen him for many years, but Ma Gonggong has read a lot of books, and there is no obscenity of an inner servant when he speaks." ”

Xie Junshou: "......"

General Zheng: "......"

Zhao Yuanming and Ma Gonggong turned out to be old acquaintances. Looking at this posture of you coming and going, there are still some old grudges.

Ma Sansi's eyes flashed, but he was not angry, and continued to smile: "It is a blessing for our family to be praised by Zhao Hanlin. Our family is coming on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it is inconvenient to salute Zhao Hanlin. ”

As he spoke, he put on a posture of waiting for Zhao Yuanming to salute.

Zhao Yuanming was not in a hurry, and arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city.

Ma Sansi was still not annoyed, and smiled: "Zhao Hanlin, please take a seat." It's rare to get together today, and our family can get close to Zhao Hanlin. ”

Zhao Yuanming calmly responded, walked over, and sat next to Ma Gonggong.

Xie Junshou coughed and laughed: "I only learned today that Zhao Hanlin and Ma Gonggong are old people. ”

It's sensible, and I didn't ask what kind of past acquaintance it was.

General Zheng opened the topic: "It's not too early, why hasn't the prince come yet?" There is also Captain Murong, who should also send someone to ask for it. ”

Captain Murong?

Zhao Yuanming smiled and paused, and finally understood why Xu Jing invited him to the banquet.

After waiting and waiting, Qingcha drank three times, Xu Jing was nowhere to be seen, and Murong Shen did not come.

Ma Sansi was also a little unable to sit still, and called a small chamberlain: "Go and invite Captain Murong." ”

Xiao Nei answered, and was about to retreat, when he saw two figures entering side by side.

A long body and jade, with a face like a crown of jade, and plain clothes can't hide the arrogant and arrogant bearing of the world. A tall and heroic man with a handsome face and a cold gaze.

It was Xu Jing, the son of the King of Beihai, and Murong Shen, the former captain of the Imperial Colonel.

It's finally here.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to greet each other.
