It was late in the evening.

After being busy for most of the day, Zhao Xiyan's face was slightly tired, and his eyes were calm: "The distinguished guest refuses to leave, I will send him off." ”

Xu Jing: "......"

Should he stop it, or should he clap his hands?

Zheng Xuanqing didn't look at it at all, and watched it with relish on the side. With this eye-catching guy here, Xu Jing couldn't say anything.

When Zhao Xiyan stepped past Xu Jing's side, his whisper floated in his ear: "I'll stay here, what's wrong, call me, I'll come immediately." ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded.

Then, she stepped forward and pushed open the door to the study, and closed it gently.

Xu Jing furrowed his brows and stared at the door tightly.

Zheng Xuanqing peeked at Xu Jing's face and laughed in a low voice: "Your face is a little green." ”

Xu Jing was so angry that he couldn't help kicking Zheng Xuanqing: "Get out of the way." You're all green. I'm going to stay here, and you go first. ”

Zheng Xuanqing refused to leave: "I am also a student of the master, so I have to stay until the end today." ”

Xu Jing's heart softened, and he looked at his friend: "Zheng Er, are you going to enter the barracks?" ”

Zheng Xuanqing, who had been smiling all day, suddenly collapsed, and nodded sullenly: "Yes." My father has already taken care of it, and tomorrow I will enter the barracks and take my brother's former place. In the future, I can no longer study with Master Zhao. ”

"You know mine. I don't need to study hard, I haven't practiced martial arts seriously, and my biggest ambition in life is to lie down and eat and drink, and be a gentleman for a lifetime. ”

"In the past, my father and mother were all indulged in me, and my eldest brother also loved me, and messed around with me. Now that my big brother has broken his leg, they're putting all their hopes in me. I can't let them down. ”

"But I'm really worried about it."

"I'm not afraid of going to the barracks to endure hardships or anything, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything and disappoint my parents and eldest brother."

Xu Jing was a little sad when he heard this, and reached out and patted his friend on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I believe you will definitely be able to do well." You weren't serious before, as long as you were serious......"

Zheng Xuanqing's face was full of anticipation, waiting for praise and encouragement.

"You know that you really can't write and can't do anything."

Zheng Xuanqing laughed angrily and snorted: "You also have the face to talk about me." As soon as I leave, every time I take a coursework assessment, I will see who will give you the bottom. Just wait and see me march into the barracks and shine and kill everywhere! ”

After laughing, Xu Jing restrained his smile and said, "Zheng Er, I believe in you, you can do it." ”

Zheng Xuanqing's nose was sour, his eyes were a little red, and he nodded heavily.

A gentle breeze blew through the bright clothes of the teenagers.

The playful time that belonged to teenagers has passed. They are all growing up and have to take on their own responsibilities.

……

Inside the study.

The moment Zhao Xiyan pushed the door in, Murong Shen's whole body was shocked, and his eyes were firmly fixed on her face.

During the time he came to Beihai County, he came to Zhaojiafang several times, and this was the first time she took the initiative to see him.

Zhao Yuanming was also surprised: "Crescent Yue'er, why are you here?" ”

He motioned for her to leave with his gaze.

Zhao Xiyan replied with a "don't be impatient" look, and looked at Murong Shen with a smile that looked like an eagle falcon: "Captain Murong is a distinguished guest, I have avoided it many times, and Captain Murong must be unhappy in his heart." Today, I came here to meet you and have some things to say to Captain Murong. ”

This beautiful face, which is ten years younger than in memory, is as delicate and vivid as a flower. Even a polite smile stirred his heart.

"Miss Zhao Liu, please speak." Murong Shen pressed the surging tide of excitement, opened his mouth to respond, and naturally glanced at Zhao Yuanming.

What to watch?

Still want him to avoid it?

Zhao Yuanming ignored it, took a book from the desk, and flipped through it carefully.

Murong Shen: "......"

This Uncle Zhao seems to be gentle and humble, but in fact he is tough and difficult. Anyway, before leaving, it would be nice to talk to her for a while.

Murong Shen calmed his mind and looked at Zhao Xiyan: "I sincerely ask to marry Miss Zhao Liu, as long as Miss Zhao Liu agrees, I, Murong Shen, swear to the sky, I will never fail you, so that you will be safe and honored for the rest of your life." ”

He is not a man of rhetoric, and he never takes an oath lightly. Today is an exception, first made an oath in front of Zhao Yuanming, and now made an oath to Zhao Xiyan.

"I believe in Captain Murong, and I can do what I say." Zhao Xiyan looked back calmly: "I am grateful for Captain Murong's thoughts. It's just that the honor and wealth in Captain Murong's mouth are not what I want. ”

"I don't want to marry far away from home, I just want to be with my father for a long time. I don't have any ambitions, I don't want to go to the capital, so I've been living in Beihai County, which is the best life of my dreams. ”

Murong Shen's heart was turbulent.

Zhao Xiyan's words, although he did not say it explicitly, can be regarded as admitting the fact of rebirth.

Her refusal was also expected by him, and there was still a dull pain in his heart.

Yes, she just likes her little bamboo horse. Unfortunately, he would never allow her to marry someone else.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne," Murong Shen opened his mouth coldly: "I will go to Qinglong Mountain tomorrow and lead the Praetorian Guards back to Beijing." ”

Zhao Yuanming, who was holding the book and reading it, moved his ears and quietly moved the book away, glancing at Murong Shen out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Murong Shen continue: "Say goodbye today, see you again, I don't know what year or month." Miss Zhao Liu, give me a calligraphy and painting! ”

The thing reminds one of its owner. This Zhao Yuanming is very familiar.

Zhao Yuanming quickly glanced at his daughter, motioned for his daughter to nod in response, and sent this Murong Shen away.

Zhao Xiyan's heart was cold and hard, which was obviously beyond Zhao Yuanming's expectations.

She didn't move, and said with a faint smile: "Captain Murong is embarrassing me." I am a girl in the boudoir, with a clean reputation, how can I write and paint for men at will. ”

There was a hint of anger in Murong Shen's tone: "The folding fan in the hand of the prince today is from the handwriting of Miss Zhao Liu!" ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded as a matter of course: "Yes." ”

"Why does Miss Zhao Liu favor one over the other?" Murong Shen thought that he could control it, but in fact, the jealousy in his heart burned vigorously and was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes and looked at Murong Shen: "My son and I studied together when we were five years old, grew up together, and we are like family. Even my handkerchief, he didn't know how much he had taken. Just a fan, I just painted it, what's so strange? ”

"Captain Murong was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, and I have never met Captain Murong before. The first time Captain Murong came to Zhaojiafang, he was like a disciple. I was really scared. These days, I've been avoiding it. I thought I had made it clear. ”

"Captain Murong kept saying that he sincerely asked to marry me, and compared himself with the prince."

"Dare to ask, what is the comparison between Captain Murong and Shizi?"

Murong Shen: "......"
