Nine-year-old Su Jinmei wore a newly made goose-yellow brocade dress and combed two beautiful and playful buns decorated with beaded flowers. At this time, she was looking up at the young man beside her with a pair of big watery eyes, and asked:

"Brother Xiao, can you help me flutter butterflies?"

"Okay."

Mu Xiao is thirteen years old and a delicate and cold-faced teenager. The Mu family and the Su family are world friends, and this pair of children has been childhood sweethearts since childhood, although they have not officially established a relationship, but the parents of the two families verbally acquiesced to this family business.

"Brother Xiao, the kite you made for me last time was broken by my brother, can you help me make one again?"

"Okay."

"How about making a phoenix kite with two long and beautiful tails?"

"Okay."

"Brother Xiao, when I grow up, you will marry me, okay?"

"Not good."

The little Su Jinmei was so angry that she stomped her feet, turned her head and ran.

Mu Xiao looked down at the newly caught colorful butterfly in his hand, and let go of his hand slightly, letting the butterfly fly away. His eyes followed the butterfly into the air, and he thought: I want to marry Miss Bai.

Last year, he followed his father to the south and met the third lady of the Bai family in Baijiabao. Miss Bai is delicate and elegant, like a fairy, and at first sight, it makes his heart move. was originally ignorant and ignorant, but it seemed to be enlightened, and at that time he thought that if he married a wife in the future, he must marry Miss Bai San.

Time flies, and it is three years in a flash.

On this day in June, the old man of the Mu family was pacing back and forth in the room, and the eldest son of the Mu family stood in the middle of the room, bowing his head and saying nothing. At this time, Master Mu stopped and said, "If our Mu family wants to stay out of the matter, it seems impossible. ”

Mu Dagongzi said: "I grew up with the three princes studying together since childhood, and I support the three princes. ”

"Do you think the prince is really cowardly and incompetent? You should go with us to the south and leave the land of right and wrong. ”

"No, father, I'm going to stay!" Master Mu said resolutely.

"The third prince is brave and invincible, but his resourcefulness is insufficient...... "Master Mu said worriedly.

"Isn't there still Mr. Pang and General Li? Father, take your mother and younger siblings to the south, I will definitely stay and help the third prince!" When the matter comes to an end, I will send you a letter, and my father will not worry......"

After a night of deliberation, there was no good solution. In the end, the old man of the Mu family could only decide, resigned, and returned to his hometown in the south with the whole family. Master Mu has been ill for many years, and he has long had the intention of resigning, and this resignation is also unusually smooth.

The family was busy preparing bags and horses, and here Master Mu went to say goodbye to the old Su family. Su Jinmei cried red eyes when she heard the news, and did not let Brother Mu go, and was finally coaxed back to the house by Mrs. Su.

Master Mu sent Mu Xiao, the second son of Mu, to play in the yard, and he talked with the master of the Su family for a long time behind closed doors.

On the way south, a team of ordinary chariots and horses was hurrying in the dust.

Mr. Mu said to his wife: "The Su family supports the prince, I don't know what ...... future."

"Ugh." Mrs. Su only sighed.

Mu Xiao and his younger brother sat in another carriage, and his younger brother jumped up and down very naughtily along the way, but he was silent, young and old. He was sixteen years old, much taller, and his face had some bright lines.

At this time, he was thinking: This time he went to the south, would he pass by Baijiabao? Can I see the third lady of the Bai family again?
