In the warm pavilion, the crows are silent.

Xia Chengxuan and Rui Xiaoling sat opposite each other on both sides of the bookcase, not too close to each other, looking at each other secretly, but deliberately avoiding each other's gaze.

"Granddaughter, it's not your grandfather who persecuted you, it's really difficult to do. Grandpa is already sixty years old, and he can't stay in the position of a great general for a few years. Once Grandpa Zhishi is gone, with your father's Sanpin Fenwei General, it will be difficult to support the momentum of Rui Mansion. The prestige of your two uncles is even more insufficient, you say, how can the two hundred or so people of Rui Mansion gain a foothold in this capital? Your second uncle is busy with military affairs at the Pinan outpost, and he has not yet remarried, and he has no heirs under his knees. Although the third uncle has children, he is still young. You and Yilin are the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter in the family, and you should take on this heavy responsibility. The best way is to give you to a noble and innocent family, and with the help of your in-laws' power, you can survive these years of hardship, and give your father, uncle, and brother the opportunity to earn and grow. At present, among the nobles in the capital, there are only a few unmarried sons of the right age, and the most respected is the son of the jaw king. It just so happened that the Jaw King came to visit the door last time, and occasionally saw you, and mentioned this in-law to me. How is this not a good opportunity sent by heaven? How about you meet the prince of the jaw? If you really don't want it, grandpa will never force it. Think about it!"

Grandpa's words still lingered in Rui Xiaoling's ears. Rui Xiaoling had already made up his mind, so this prince of the jaw was a hateful-looking butcher, and he had to marry him. With this idea of seeing death as home, Rui Xiaoling followed his father all the way slowly to visit this in-law, and just met Xia Chengxuan, but he only felt that the willows were bright and he was in a desperate situation, and secretly thought: "It's okay, this jaw king's face is rare and handsome, and he faces him every day, so he won't be too bored." I just don't know what his temperament is?"

"Hehe!, Miss Rui, hello!" Xia Chengxuan thought, as a man, he would not let the girl's family come to climb him, but forced himself to calm down and greeted with a smile.

Rui Xiaoling was thinking left and right in her heart, and when she heard Xia Chengxuan talking to her, she was startled and screamed "ah".

Xia Chengxuan smiled and quipped: "Miss Rui, am I really so terrible?

"What are you doing? I was shocked when I didn't pay attention. Rui Xiaoling looked up at Xia Chengxuan and explained, but he met him for the first time.

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are speechless.

Caring for each other is speechless, not ruthless, it is really the first birth of love.

Rui Xiaoling's face turned red, and she became more and more short of breath. Xia Chengxuan was smiling more and more, and finally grinned and slapped the bookcase heavily, which frightened Rui Xiaoling's body, her beautiful eyes were round, and she looked suspicious.

Before Rui Xiaoling could ask, Xia Chengxuan scolded angrily: "When I go back, I will definitely break the dog leg of Alai, a slave thing, and slap him a few more ear scrapers!"

Rui Xiaoling knew that he was not angry with himself, but he still didn't understand why he was like this, so he frowned and asked, "Why? What kind of person is this?"

He actually told me that you have knife eyes, flat nose and sesame eyes, and your body is short and fat like a sow with cubs, so you can't sleep for a few days!" Xia Chengxuan was angry and happy, and suddenly his voice plummeted, and he smiled gently, "Who knows, you are even more beautiful than a fairy!"

Rui Xiaoling saw him turn around in such a big circle to praise his beauty, and his heart jumped for a while, "Puff!

At this moment, the two of them began to discover that the fate of the world was so beautiful...

"Mei Gongzi, I heard Xue Ning Xue Gongzi talk a lot about you, I heard that your literary school and martial arts school are all first-class Huazijian first-class, and I really admire it in the next place!" Rui Tuyan walked in front and turned around to Mei Yuanchen.

The lights in the courtyard are dim, although things are not very clear, Mei Yuanchen has practiced longevity, and his eyesight is far higher than that of ordinary people, and he can clearly see the sincerity on his face, and replied with a smile: "Young Master Rui praised it." Xue Ning is mostly exaggerated, and he needs to be taken seriously. ”

Rui Tuyan chuckled and said: "Your father, Lord Mei, the political secretary of Anxian Salt and Transport, is a well-known ruler of the dynasty. It has only been a year and a half to supervise the salt administration, but the salt crisis in Dahua has been significantly alleviated. ”

"Yes! I have told my grandfather several times that it is not necessary to devote himself to the defense of the country, and to be a minister of the world is not necessarily inferior to a general of Yum. Rui Yilin rarely answered, "Every time Grandpa argues with me, and I bring out Master Mei, he has nothing to say, hehe!"

Hearing that the uncle and nephew of the Rui family admired their father so much, Mei Yuanchen's heart was surging, and he muttered, "My father is also my life's honor, and I hope to live up to the reputation of the Mei family." ”

"Young Master Rui, why are you two at the right age, why don't you go to Huazijian?" The three of them walked in the garden for a while, and Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, you're not the first to ask that. Rui Tuyan said with a smile as he walked: "Young Master Mei, do you know why the emperor and several princes and highnesses rely on and respect our Rui Mansion so much?"

Mei Yuanchen thought for a while and replied: "The great general has made outstanding achievements, and he deserves great respect. ”

"Mei Gongzi, this is one reason, but not the main reason. Rui Tuyan led Mei Yuanchen to the pavilion, and said, "The most important thing is that the Rui family has always been not affiliated with the party, specializing in military affairs and not involved in government politics, impartial, and not helping or stepping on. And what is Huazijian, you know better than I know, how can we be alone?"

Mei Yuanchen only knew the reason for this suspicion at this time, and said in a low voice: "I see. ”

The three of them walked to the pavilion and were walking up the stairs, when Mei Yuanchen suddenly pushed the Rui family's uncle and nephew away, and shouted: "Who is it?"

Between the swords and flints, a masked man in black attacked with a pair of fleshy palms, and his moves were fast and tricky. Mei Yuanchen protected Rui Tuyan and Rui Yilin behind him and entangled with him.

"Huh!" the black-clothed man's fingertips sent out several arc-shaped darts, flying straight towards the Rui family's uncle and nephew. Mei Yuanchen was shocked, hurriedly put away the move in his hand, turned around and kicked out his right leg to knock the dart down. The man in black took advantage of this moment to slap Mei Yuanchen on the left waist, and Mei Yuanchen had no choice but to resist with his back.

"Bang!" This palm is really printed in the middle of Mei Yuanchen's vest. Mei Yuanchen stumbled and almost fell. Rui Yilin reacted before his uncle, and took advantage of Mei Yuanchen's dart to shout outward: "There are assassins!"

The target of the masked man in black was obviously not Mei Yuanchen, and his right palm was just withdrawn from Mei Yuanchen's back, and he attacked Rui Tuyan without hesitation.

Mei Yuanchen received a slap from the man in black, knowing that this person's martial arts were not trivial, and his internal strength was not under the sword. Seeing that he swooped down towards the Rui family's uncle and nephew again, he hurriedly used the "Douzhuan Diagonal Step Twenty-three", and appeared in front of the man in black in a blink of an eye, blocking Rui Tuyan and Rui Yilin behind him again.

The man in black was taken aback when he first fought with Mei Yuanchen, he didn't expect that this young man had such profound internal skills, and he was not weak after more than ten moves with him. Thinking of what happened to him, although he felt disgraceful, he still used his eyebrow dart and shot at the two children of the Rui family. But I didn't want the leg of the handsome young man in front of him to be so precise and fast, and he knocked down the eyebrow dart with one kick. But it was because he turned around and kicked the dart that he was able to slap him on the back. Yuan Dao, this young man is no matter how high his martial arts are, and he will be seriously injured if he is slapped by himself, so he will take the opportunity to think that these two Rui family children will kill again.

"How is it possible!" Looking at the young man in front of him, the look of surprise on the face of the man in black under the mask suddenly flashed, quickly disappeared into the dark night, and disappeared.

Mei Yuanchen also said that he wanted to entangle with the man in black again, but he didn't expect him to escape so suddenly.

In the hall, Rui Rumin faintly heard her grandson shouting, "There is an assassin", and hurriedly got up from his seat and rushed out.

"Xiao Ling, did you hear it, someone shouted, 'There is an assassin!'" In the warm pavilion, Xia Chengxuan suddenly turned his head to look out and said to Rui Xiaoling.
