Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 122
Chapter 122
On the 26th of the first lunar month and the crown, the big wedding will be on the eighth day of the second lunar month.
One is because the days are there, and the other is that Yun Chong can’t stay in the capital for too long. I heard that the northern border is not very stable recently. suffer.
In this wedding, although anyone who knows the inside story knows that Yun Anyao married Huang Miaoyu out of a sense of responsibility, the strange thing is that neither of the two parents' faces showed too much ups and downs. I am very satisfied with this wedding that everyone feels does not fit.
And Huang Miaoyu put on makeup, put on a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, covered her head, had a slim waist, and a light figure, just like a standard newlywed.
But the eyes under the hijab were still covered with white silk. She couldn't see how beautiful her makeup was on the day of her wedding. Of course, when she arrived at Yun's house, she couldn't see how charming her husband's handsome face was either.
At dusk, amidst the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Huang Miaoyu finally knelt farewell to her elders, and her two-year-old brother carried her out of the gate.
The sedan chair went all the way back to Yun's house.
Kicking the sedan chair door, stepping over the brazier, crossing the saddle, and worshiping heaven and earth in the auditorium, all in one go.
In the new house, Huang Miaoyu had already eaten the descendants' dumplings under the service of the happy matchmaker, and Yun Anyao whispered a few words to her before going out to accompany the guests.
Huang Miaoyu sat on the wedding bed.
Cui Fu was by her side.
"Is the girl hungry?"
I haven't eaten since morning. The girl's small body can't bear it. If she is really hungry, it doesn't matter how polite she is, she should fill her stomach first.
"I don't have an appetite." Huang Miaoyu shook her head and lifted her hijab, which was the same as not lifting it, and it was all right for her.
I can't see it, I can only imagine what my new house looks like in my mind.
"Why don't you just drink porridge?" Cuifu was still worried. The girl had been worrying too much these past few days, and her chin was sharpened. It can be seen that she had a lot of things in her heart, but she didn't say anything, they are slaves Yes, how dare you ask more.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
"Tui Fu, what time is it now?"
"Oh, girl, it's time of the year, and the guests are probably leaving soon."
Huang Miaoyu's fingers resting on her knees tightened.
I don't know if it's because of nervousness or anticipation, but my heart suddenly beat faster.
The words He Lian Shuang said to her before she got married seemed to be still echoing in her ears, but a woman is a woman after all, a little bit of jealousy can start a prairie fire.
The more she didn't think about it, the more her thoughts hooked her to guess what kind of person Yun An Yao was hiding in her heart.
To be hidden in his heart in such a forbearing way, that person must be a hundred times better than himself, right?
The door was pushed open without warning, and slightly heavy footsteps sounded at the door.
After a while, Yun Anyao sat beside her. He drank a lot of wine, his face was full of drunkenness, and his body smelled of alcohol.
Cuifu backed away winkingly.
"Little Lord." Huang Miaoyu couldn't see his face, so she just called softly.
"Ah."
Dumb and low, he seemed to have something on his mind.
"Well, you're drunk." Huang Miaoyu pursed her lips. She had never experienced a wedding night in the bridal chamber. At this moment, she couldn't find much to talk about.
"Are you hungry?" Drunk to drunk, he has not yet reached the point of unconsciousness, half of his body is leaning on the bedpost to support his precarious body.
"Well, I'm a little hungry."
Yun Anyao immediately called Cuifu, "Go to the kitchen and get some food to serve Madam."
Cuifu moved quickly, and it didn't take long to pack a few of Huang Miaoyu's favorite dishes in the food box.
Huang Miaoyu couldn't see, so someone had to feed her.
Cui Fu just picked up the chopsticks, Yun Anyao waved her hand, "You step back, I will do it myself."
Cuifu was overjoyed, and retreated happily.
Yun Anyao picked up the chopsticks, read the names of the food on the table to her, and finally asked, "What do you want to eat first?"
"Anything is fine." When she was alone with him, there seemed to be a suffocating sense of oppression in the air, which made her breathless, and her words trembled.
Yun Anyao casually picked up a chopstick dish and slowly fed it to her lips.
Huang Miaoyu opened her mouth and took a small bite.
After she swallowed it, Yun Anyao fed it again.
After repeating this dozens of times, Huang Miaoyu was finally full.
Someone removed the cups and plates and brought tea to rinse their mouths. After everyone retreated, Yun Anyao looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's rest!"
Huang Miaoyu's heart beat faster, her hands were at a loss and she didn't know where to put them, "I can't see, can the young master..."
Yun Anyao immediately understood what she meant, "Well, I will undress for you."
Stretching out his hand, his fingertips touched her bright red wedding dress, and his cold eyes darkened.
It's rare to get drunk at the banquet through a big wedding, but you still can't control your sobriety.
He got married, and after tonight, he had to formally say goodbye to the person in his heart.
The red wedding dress came off layer by layer, and with fascinated eyes, he saw her face as another person in the overlapping shadows.
What happened in the past was all buried in the heavy snow that day when he went to find her.
How deep is the love, how thin is the relationship, so far, farewell.
-
Because it was the marriage obtained by Mrs. Yun's jealousy, so it can't be regarded as a marriage resentment. Huang Miaoyu's treatment in Dongyang Hou's mansion is not bad. Considering that she is blind, Fan's exempted her from the second day of her wedding. There are many etiquettes such as offering tea and following the morning and evening.
Even so, a foreign daughter-in-law is not as good as one born at home.
Therefore, Fan's treatment of Huang Miaoyu was only superficially polite and gentle. Compared with Yun Chuwei, Huang Miaoyu was definitely treated as a standard daughter-in-law.
On February [-]th, Huang Miaoyu returned home.
Yun Anyao went to greet his mother-in-law Liu Shi and Mrs. Huang, and then went to the front yard to meet Huang Shoufu.
Before the wedding, Yun Anyao didn't have much contact with this pillar of the imperial court, but after the wedding, this was the first time he saw him.
"Greetings to Grandfather."
After entering the study, Yun An Yao saluted politely.
Hearing the voice, Huang Shoufu raised his head and waved to him, "Come and sit down."
The tone was casual as if he was treating his own grandson.
Yun An Yao walked over and sat down.
Huang Shoufu took a look at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, he looks dignified and majestic, just like your father did back then."
Regarding Huang Miaoyu's blind eyes, Huang Shoufu never gave any positive response, so Yun An Yao came here today with the mentality of being scolded.
Obviously, Huang Shoufu's reaction was far beyond his expectations. Not only did he not mention a word, but he kept praising him for having the demeanor of Yun Chong when he was young.
As a result, Yun Anyao felt even more restless.
"Boy Yun, you have to go to northern Xinjiang with your father tomorrow, right?"
"Well, there has been some turmoil in northern Xinjiang recently. The situation is severe and imminent. If you don't leave, the people there will probably be uneasy."
Huang Shoufu held a large brush in his hand, and with thick ink, he drew a word on the large rice paper in a fluttering motion.
Yun An Yao looked up.
— break.
Oh, this old man is interesting.
"A man's ambition is everywhere, how can he be confined to a small radius of ten feet because of his son's and daughter's affair?"
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, the meaning of the smile was unclear, Huang Shoufu continued to point out, "Boy, don't stop, you will be disturbed by it."
Yun An Yao's heart clicked.
Could it be that the old man really found something?
That's not right, ever since Piaoxue went to see Helian Shuang once, he had never seen her in private.
What's more, his love for her was completely destroyed as early as the wedding night.
Could it be that Huang Shoufu was referring to the relationship between him and Huang Miaoyu?
"The grandson doesn't understand what his grandfather means, so he hopes that his grandfather will give him some advice."
"Hehehe..." Huang Shoufu stroked his beard and smiled brightly, not only to see through, but not to completely break through, "just go, this year's Spring Festival, remember to go home."
This was a metaphor, but it was actually a reminder that he should calm down.
Fortunately, Yun Anyao had some ink in his stomach to translate such obscure words.
Immediately afterwards, a cold sweat broke out all over.
Sure enough, the old man knew that he liked He Lian Shuang.
"Grandfather." Yun An Yao blushed, trying to explain something.
"Ok?"
"Grandson... grandson is leaving now."
Standing up, he ran away like a child whose secret had been revealed, all the explanations seemed pale, and he simply didn't say those words.
He believed that a person like Huang Shoufu would not be able to go to her granddaughter to spread the news that he was so happy.
It's just... the heart that was already quiet was disturbed by Huang Shoufu, and it seemed to be a little messed up again.
On the way back to the mansion, Huang Miaoyu noticed that his breath was not right, "Little Lord, do you have something on your mind?"
"No." The same low voice.
It seemed that since she married him, that's the only way he'd ever talked.
"An Yao." Huang Miaoyu suddenly groped and threw herself into his arms, even though she knew that it took a lot of effort to get him to accept her, even though she knew that he hadn't completely let go of the person in her heart, all her doubts and resentments were still in hearing about him tomorrow The moment it was time to leave, it all fell apart.
Yun Anyao closed his eyes, calmed down, and put his arms around her mechanically, "What's wrong?"
"Suddenly I'm reluctant to let you go." Her voice was slightly crying, and the tip of her nose was red, showing her inner anxiety.
"Hey, I'll be back during the Chinese New Year." There was no emotional comfort, and she couldn't stop her tears.
I don't know how long I cried, and fell asleep in his arms.
When they arrived at Dongyanghou's Mansion, Yun Anyao personally carried Huang Miaoyu out of the carriage, his movements were extremely light, as if he was afraid of waking her up, and walked straight towards his yard along the way.
All the little maids in the house who had secretly coveted Yun Anyao before were so envious that their eyes were red with envy. What's so good about the young master?Unrestrained and handsome, graceful and graceful, they are definitely god-level figures who are so humble that they are in the dust, but they know that they are out of reach, but they still want to be on the tip of their hearts.
Now it is ruined by a sick man and a blind man.
It really feels like a good cabbage has been arched by a pig.
Of course, that "good cabbage" is definitely their suave young master.
Putting Huang Miaoyu on the bed, Yun Anyao never left, and sat casually on the armchair beside him, the darkness enveloped his handsome face, the line of his lips was tight, and his color was cold.
"Hmm..." Huang Miaoyu grunted softly, not knowing whether she was cold or had a bad dream.
Yun Anyao came back to his senses, leaned closer to the bed, saw her waking up slowly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huang Miaoyu couldn't see, but as long as she heard his voice, she felt at ease. She groped around with her hands, and finally grabbed his rough hands that held weapons all year round.
"Now... what time is it?"
Her voice trembled a little, and she seemed to be reluctant to part with melancholy. She thought it was already the next morning, before he left.
"It's still early." Yun An Yao explained to her patiently, her voice was indifferent, "If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer, and I will notify you at dinner time."
"Are you going out again?" Feeling that his hands were cold, no matter how warm she was, Huang Miaoyu withdrew her hand as if she had touched a thorn, and covered herself in the quilt, feeling a little painful in her heart.
"I have to go north early tomorrow morning, and I have to pack my things." He stood up, left a word and went out.
In fact, he didn't need to worry about those things at all, and his servants would clean them up, but he always stayed in that room, and he was so bored that he wanted to come out for a walk.
The words that Fan Shi had instructed him rang in his ears.
——It is true that the generals guarding the border cannot take their wives and children to the subordinate army town, but they can take concubines in the army town. With Miao Yu's body, it is estimated that she will not be able to carry on your family for you. Just accept the room, anyway, you have to leave a queen for yourself, don't you?
When a heavy burden is lifted, it just falls on his shoulders.
Can he say that he has no intention of taking concubines at all?Can you say that you don't want to take a concubine not because of your current wife, but because your heart can no longer find the passion and longing when you were young?
No!
He is the only heir of the long house, and it is his responsibility as the only son to pass on the family line to the long house.
Standing under the flower stand with his hands behind his back, the lines on his handsome face were unbelievably cold.
"Brother Yao, why are you standing here alone in a daze?" Yun Chong was taken aback when he saw this scene when he came over.
In my impression, although this son is serious in his work, he is always out of tune on weekdays. It seems that this is the first time he has such a cold face and dignified expression.
"Father." Hearing Yun Chong's voice, Yun An Yao immediately came back to his senses and smiled at him.
"You have something on your mind?"
"No." Yun Anyao shook his head, "It's just that I have to go north with my father tomorrow, and I won't see my mother and sister for a year, so I feel a lot of emotion."
For someone as shrewd as Yun Chong, he would be damned if he believed his words.
"You boy, you have learned to lie in front of me."
The old man's poisonous eyes made Yun An Yao helpless, so he had no choice but to tell his whole heart.
Yun Chong listened, frowned, and looked at him, "Then what do you think? Do you want to take a concubine and have children in northern Xinjiang?"
"I don't know." In his eyes, besides the gloomyness, there were hesitation and hesitation.
I don't know, that is, half of them may take concubines in northern Xinjiang.
Yun Chong patted him on the shoulder, "It's a good age, don't just use it for entanglement and sighing, and let go of your courage to do what you want to do, this is the true nature of a man."
Yun Chong didn't stay for long, and left soon.
When the sky darkened, Yun Anyao carried the food in a food box to Huang Miaoyu's room.
She had already got up and was dressed by Cui Fu.
"Young Lord." Hearing that it was his voice, Huang Miaoyu was overjoyed.
"Are you hungry?" Yun An Yao opened the food box, and laid out the exquisite food inside one by one.
Huang Miaoyu nodded, and groped over to sit with Cuifu's support.
Yun An Yao still fed her with chopsticks.
He promised to take care of her, and he didn't break his promise for a day.
It's just that he can give her his own body and all his care and care, but that heart cannot be given to her.
Probably considering that she won't see him for another year, she ate this meal very slowly today, as if she wanted to seal every bit of this night in her memory for the next year.
"Drink the soup." Yun Anyao picked up the spoon, scooped it up, blew on it, and fed it himself.
"Young Master." Huang Miaoyu's voice was weak.
"Ah."
Every time she called him, he always liked to answer like this.
Indifferent, clueless, as if he hummed it inadvertently, or as if he had formed a habit of coping with the answer.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, you...do you have anything to say to me?"
I don't know how much courage she mustered before she could say this sentence completely.
After the voice fell, there was a long silence.
Every minute and every second seemed to be tormenting her heart full of fear and expectation.
"When I'm not around, try to go out as little as possible to blow the cold wind. Let the maids and mothers guard the house at all times. Call someone if you have something to do. Don't try to be brave."
In a word, it was all about her body.
As if just completing the task.
Huang Miaoyu's expression darkened, "Is there any more?"
"Also, don't provoke the second- and third-bedrooms. You are in a special situation. Once you have an enemy, you will only be bullied. I'm not around. It's understandable that you can't take care of yourself, but you have to learn to protect yourself."
"Oh, I see." I never heard the sentence I wanted to hear the most. Although it was only a few days, Huang Miaoyu was used to it, and she forced a smile and said: "Young master should take care of yourself at the border." , I'll wait for your return."
"Ah."
-
The next day, just before dawn, Yun Anyao and Yun Chong were ready to set off to the north.
Yun Chuwei and Su Yan specially woke up early to see them off.
Touching his sister's head, Yun An Yao smiled, "Wait obediently, when I come back at the end of the year, I will bring you some specialties from northern Xinjiang."
"Okay, I'll wait." Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't want it if it's not expensive!"
Yun An Yao laughed and scoffed, "Greedy for money!"
Yun Chuwei rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not greedy for money, how can I marry such a rich husband?"
Su Yanjun's eyebrows trembled.
"Wei Wei." Yun Anyao suddenly became serious, "While I'm not around, can you go back to your mother's house to help me see her after a while?"
It is self-evident who "she" refers to.
Yun Chu scanned around slightly, but Huang Miaoyu didn't come out to see him off.
Knowing that, she pursed her lips, "Of course, that's my sister-in-law, can I not come?"
Yun An Yao felt relieved, and said loudly: "Take good care of me, and then I will reward you with a few golden leaves."
"Shh—" Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, "Gold leaves are worthless, and they are exchanged for Hetian jade."
"Row!"
What my sister said is always right.
Turning over and riding on the horse, Yun An Yao turned his head reluctantly, looking at Yun Chuwei, Mrs. Fan, and a group of servants who were seeing him off behind him, her eyes were a little hot.
This trip is a year.
He only knew that he would never see these relatives again in the next year, but he didn't know that when he came back a year later, his family would be in a different situation.
Things are, people are not.
-
After seeing off Yun Anyao and Yun Chong, Yun Chuwei went to Huang Miaoyu's yard.
"Sister-in-law." Yun Chuwei shouted enthusiastically as soon as she entered the door.
No one answered her, and the room was silent.
"Sister-in-law?" Yun Chu tilted his head slightly to look around, and finally saw Huang Miaoyu by the back window, with an indescribably sad expression.
"Why, are you reluctant to part with my brother?" Yun Chuwei walked over and teased.
Huang Miaoyu reluctantly laughed along, "I just feel that he left too suddenly, and I was a little unprepared."
"It's okay." Yun Chuwei sat down next to her, "There are many sisters in this mansion, not to mention my mother, if you feel lonely in the future, you can chat with them, or you can come to the Duke's Mansion as well." , if you feel inconvenient, then I will come and accompany you."
"I know you're usually very busy." Huang Miaoyu said, "It's better not to delay your work."
Yun Chu smiled, "No matter how big it is, is it important to be with my sister-in-law?"
"Wei Wei." Huang Miaoyu's voice was suddenly very quiet, so quiet that Yun Chuwei felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, just speak up if you have anything to say, I'm listening!"
"Master Jiu...does he love you very much?"
Yun Chuwei was stunned for a moment, never expecting such words to be asked from someone like Huang Miaoyu.
"Why did sister-in-law suddenly think of asking this?"
"I just want to know...he..." Before he finished speaking, his face was already red to the ears.
She actually wanted to ask if Master Jiu would kiss her when he was with her, but she couldn't get a word out of her mouth.
"Huh?" Yun Chuwei was confused, "I don't quite understand what sister-in-law means, can you be more straightforward."
"Forget it, I just said it casually." Huang Miaoyu was discouraged, how could she have the nerve to ask such a question.
The moment Yun An Yao left, she realized why she had never felt safe.
It's not that he doesn't love her enough, but that he never kisses her, which is a very serious symptom for a woman.
It showed that there was someone in his heart, and he was unwilling to give the kiss to a woman other than that person.
Seeing her hesitating and blushing, Yun Chuwei guessed that it was a difficult question, so she didn't ask any more questions, and started talking about other topics.
-
Time went back to the eighth day of February, which was the day of Yun Anyao's wedding. People from all provinces gathered in the capital, presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination was about to be held at the Gong Yuan in the inner city.
The night before, Xu Han prepared the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and dry food that Xu Mao would use the next day, and got up early to send Xu Mao to the Gongyuan in person.
Why prepare dry food?
There will be three trials.
In the first session on the ninth day of February, there are four essays in the test.
The second session on February [-]th is a test of five-character and eight-rhyme poems.
In the third session on February [-]th, the five scriptures and theories will be tested.
There is one game in three days, you have to enter the field the day before and exit the field the day after.
That is to say, for the first exam on the ninth day of the ninth day, candidates must enter the field on the eighth day of the eighth day, leave the field on the tenth day, enter the field on the eleventh day, leave the field on the thirteenth day, re-enter the field on the fourteenth day, and leave the field on the sixteenth day.
Until all three exams are finished.
During the three exams, Xu Han was extremely nervous. Every time he sent Xu Mao to the Gongyuan, he would stand outside and tell him carefully, "Brother, relax your mind, don't be too nervous, you are still young, don't keep thinking about failing the exam." Whatever happens, we still have opportunities in the future.”
That's what he said, but he was extremely nervous. My brother came here this time with the full expectation of his grandmother. Once his brother passed the exam and was appointed an official and had his own official residence in the capital, the brothers and sisters would be able to take care of their grandmother as well. Take it to the capital to enjoy the blessing.
Xu Mao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, after so long of preparation, I have adjusted my mentality a long time ago. I don't dare to say how much I can achieve and return home, but it should still be possible to barely make it to the list."
Hearing what Xu Mao said, Xu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. My brother has always been neither arrogant nor impatient, and he speaks modestly. He said that if he can barely make it to the list, he will definitely be on the list.
It seems that this test is not too difficult for him.
After three trials, it is already February [-]th.
Xu Han had been waiting outside the tribute courtyard a long time ago, and when she saw that Xu Mao was as refreshed as when she entered the arena, unlike some others with a worried face, she immediately smiled, "Look at my brother who is so uncomfortable." You don't seem to be in a hurry, you think you have a lot of confidence?"
Xu Mao smiled lightly, "It's just that I have a better mentality. There are so many students in the same period, and I can't guarantee that I will be ahead of them in the exam."
Xu Han raised her eyebrows, her brother is still so humble, but she is already very sure that her brother will definitely be on the list this time, the top few can't be counted on, the top [-], there should still be hope.
The brothers and sisters had only walked a certain distance when they saw a large and gorgeous carriage blocking the way ahead.
The people in the carriage gently lifted the curtains, their enchanting faces looked particularly attractive against the vibrant greenery around them.
Xu Han's heart fluttered.
For some reason, my heartbeat seemed a little frantic.
She hurriedly turned her head away, planning to turn around and leave.
"Second Highness."
Xu Han could pretend not to see it, but Xu Mao couldn't. He stepped forward respectfully and bowed his hands.
"Young Master Xu, you will have three trials, how do you feel?"
He Lianjin pursed his lips, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the little girl with an awkward expression.
"It's okay!" Xu Mao said, "At least, I'm satisfied with my state of mind."
Sure enough, the uncle is still as humble as in his previous life.
He Lianjin finished his slander, and raised his lips, "Last time Mr. Xu left in a hurry, and I was afraid to disturb your exam preparation, so I didn't mention it. Since I finished the exam today, I will host a banquet for Mr. Xu. You must not refuse the hard work during this time."
Xu Mao glanced at Xu Han beside him.
Seeing that Xu Han kept avoiding He Lianjin for some reason, he frowned, "Han'er, why don't you come to salute the Second Highness?"
Xu Han's heart was shocked, he recovered his breath, and approached slowly without raising his head, "Minnv has seen His Highness the Second Highness."
Pink and tender lips, flushed cheeks, delicate voice.
At first glance, it can make people soft to the bone.
He Lianjin looked at her, his Adam's apple slipped up and down.
"Second Highness?" Seeing that something was wrong with him, Xu Mao asked kindly, "Are you feeling well?"
He Lianjin's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile on his mouth, "I... nothing happened, is your carriage still there? Hurry up and get in the carriage, hurry to the restaurant!"
"Hey, good." Xu Mao stretched out his hand and tugged Xu Han, who was a little dazed, "Han'er, let's go!"
Xu Han didn't know what was wrong with him today, but he was in a trance frequently, and when he heard Xu Mao calling, he immediately followed up with his skirt lifted.
In the carriage ahead, He Lianjin finally calmed down.
The two carriages arrived at the Tanxiang Building together.
The private room is reserved early in the morning, and we only need to wait for the order.
The shopkeeper personally received these distinguished guests with a smile on his face, "Second Highness, what dishes do you want?"
He Lianjin pointed in Xu Han's direction with his chin, "Give her the menu."
Although I don't know who this girl is, as long as she is next to the Second Highness, she is definitely a distinguished guest, so the shopkeeper handed over the menu more respectfully, "Girl, here it is."
Xu Han didn't expect that He Lianjin would let her order. She was a little shocked, took the menu, looked at He Lianjin, and pointed to herself, "Me?"
He Lianjin nodded, his appearance was ruffian, his slender eye tails were raised up, provoking a bit of flirtatiousness.
The girl's heart was beating non-stop.
Without daring to look at him again, he immediately focused his eyes on the menu, ordered a few dishes hastily under the pressure of his eyes, then pretended to breathe, got up and walked to the window to look out.
call--
Finally breathing fresh air, Xu Han's tense heartstrings gradually relaxed.
She must be possessed.
Not long after, all the dishes were served.
He Lianjin opened the specially prepared wine and drank with Xu Mao. He didn't deliberately say anything to Xu Han. She was also happy and ate the food by herself.
When leaving Tanxianglou, Xu Mao ran into a classmate from Yangzhou, who insisted on inviting him to a gathering. After all, he had been classmates for many years, so Xu Mao still wanted to give him this face.
Although he knew it was a bit abrupt, he still said to He Lianjin, "Second Highness, Cao Min wants to get together with some classmates, can I trouble you to send Han'er back to Dongyang Marquis Mansion?"
Xu Han narrowly said: "Brother, our carriage is over there, I can go back by myself."
"I'm worried about you alone." Xu Mao showed some worry.
He Lianjin leaned on the carriage, folded his arms, and raised his twinkling eyes, "Could it be that Miss Xu can't trust the prince?"
"How...how could it be?" Xu Han bit her lower lip. It wasn't that she couldn't trust He Lianjin, but she really felt that it was weird that she lost her mind frequently today, and she would never dare to ride with him again, otherwise she would tell the truth later It would be bad to offend this demon king with some impolite words.
"Since you can trust it, let's go!" The tone could not be refused.
Even though he had acted very casually, he couldn't hide the dominance in his bones. Xu Han shivered for no reason, and his legs followed as if he had received an order.
When she got into the carriage, she sat down properly, her sitting posture was more standard than that of the ladies in the capital, and all the tension was covered up.
He Lianjin seemed to have casually opened the incense burner, and added some incense powder into it.
Xu Han's palms were sweaty, so he naturally had no time to worry about what he was doing.
In other words, in Xu Han's view, it is normal for him to add incense to the censer.
"Let's go!" He Lianjin said this to Bai who was driving outside.
hey-hey--
Bai Shu smiled sadly, the master's rare good opportunity came, of course he had to cooperate, so he chose a road that was contrary to Dongyang Houfu, planning to walk around the city first and wait for the master to finish his work.
Xu Han didn't look outside, so he didn't know that the route had been changed, and it wasn't the way to Dongyang Houfu at all.
He Lianjin, who had taken the incense antidote in advance, didn't look at her, and stared at the incense burner with shining and enchanting eyes, he was waiting for the aroma inside to take effect.
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the innocent little white rabbit in the carriage that the classmates who came to find Xu Mao were arranged by him with all his efforts.
The aroma gradually came out, and Xu Han rubbed his head uncomfortably.
He Lianjin asked: "Miss Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Han shook his head, "I don't know, I just feel a little dizzy, probably because I drank too much wine just now."
As soon as Xu Han mentioned this, she remembered that the last time she recognized Fan as her godmother, she also drank too much wine that night, and when she woke up the next day, she found her lips were a little swollen. She automatically thought it was an adverse reaction after being drunk.She just had a drink at the Tanxiang Tower just now, is she about to get drunk?
For some reason, she was unwilling to appear drunk in front of He Lianjin, for fear of losing face and showing him a joke.
Because of this urgency, his face turned red again, with a hint of charm, and his eyes began to slacken, as if covered by a layer of mist. To him, it was terribly seductive.
He Lianjin's throat felt as if it had been scorched dry by wildfire.
"Second...Second Highness...I..." As soon as Xu Han finished speaking, he completely lost his sanity and was about to fall down in a daze.
He Lianjin's tall and muscular body approached, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out his long arms to hold her tightly in his arms.
"Miss Xu?" He Lianjin patted her tentatively.
no response.
"Dongyang Hou Mansion is here." He Lianjin patted again.
Still no response.
He Lianjin was finally relieved, and finally able to taste it well.
Bai Shu, who was driving the carriage outside, pricked up his ears, but when he heard something, he knew that the master was just ignoring casually again, so he coughed, "Master, actually... you can completely ignore your subordinates."
"roll--"
Unsurprisingly, there was an icy cold sound from inside.
Bai Shu burst into tears: Master, please marry Miss Xu quickly!
-
Xu Han was awakened by a pungent smell. She opened her eyes dimly and found that He Lianjin was staring at her.
In fact, it was He Lianjin who was "finished", and then used another kind of aromatherapy to wake her up.
Xu Han was shocked and rewound the memory for a while.
Oops!Could it be that she was really drunk and fell asleep?
Seeing that the carriage was parked, Xu Han twitched his lips in embarrassment, "Second Highness, are we...arriving?"
"Ah."
Xu Han opened the curtain and found that it was past noon outside.
No way?It was too late when she went to pick up her brother in the morning. How long would it take to go from Gongyuan to Dongyang Houfu?
"That..." Xu Han was embarrassed again, and wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"Miss Xu is asleep, so it's inconvenient for me to carry you down, so I have to stop outside the back door of Dongyang Hou Mansion, planning to wait for you to wake up before leaving." He seemed to see the worry in her eyes, and he smiled lightly, "Don't worry, there is no one here can be found."
In fact, he made people dizzy, kissed and hugged and rubbed against each other, and then walked around the city when he was happy, and then came back. Being able to tell lies so smoothly, it can be seen that the thick-skinned skill of the devil king in the world has deepened.
what? !
Are you really asleep?
Xu Han was depressed, "Then when I fell asleep, did I..." Do something indecent.
The sound of mosquitoes and flies is weak, barely audible.
"Huh?" He pretended not to hear.
"It's nothing, I...I'll take my leave first." With his cheeks burning hot, Xu Han immediately got up and lifted the curtain, forgot to even thank him, and rushed towards the door with the hem of his skirt.
Bai Shu looked at Xu Han's receding back with a full face of resentment.
This one, when will I be able to get married!
-
On March [-]th, apricot blossoms bloom all over the city, and the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites releases the list.
On such an exciting day, Yun Chuwei also came to join in the fun. She got up early, got into the carriage and went to Dongyang Houfu. When Xu Han and Xu Mao were ready, they went to Gongyuan together.
At this time, outside the Gongyuan, there was a sea of people, all of them were students waiting for their rankings to be released, and many of them had prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
In this era of underdeveloped communication, there is no convenient network. If students want to remember who won which ranking, they have to copy it stroke by stroke.
Yun Chuwei's carriage couldn't get in as soon as it reached the street, she was a little annoyed that she didn't come to book a room to watch the show first.
When he was struggling with how to get to the front to see the list, Bai Shu's voice came from the slant. He pointed to the teahouse beside him, "Mrs. Qingluan, Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, my master invites you to sit up."
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy is quick, he must have booked the room early, right?
^_^ Guess what number you got
(End of this chapter)
On the 26th of the first lunar month and the crown, the big wedding will be on the eighth day of the second lunar month.
One is because the days are there, and the other is that Yun Chong can’t stay in the capital for too long. I heard that the northern border is not very stable recently. suffer.
In this wedding, although anyone who knows the inside story knows that Yun Anyao married Huang Miaoyu out of a sense of responsibility, the strange thing is that neither of the two parents' faces showed too much ups and downs. I am very satisfied with this wedding that everyone feels does not fit.
And Huang Miaoyu put on makeup, put on a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, covered her head, had a slim waist, and a light figure, just like a standard newlywed.
But the eyes under the hijab were still covered with white silk. She couldn't see how beautiful her makeup was on the day of her wedding. Of course, when she arrived at Yun's house, she couldn't see how charming her husband's handsome face was either.
At dusk, amidst the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Huang Miaoyu finally knelt farewell to her elders, and her two-year-old brother carried her out of the gate.
The sedan chair went all the way back to Yun's house.
Kicking the sedan chair door, stepping over the brazier, crossing the saddle, and worshiping heaven and earth in the auditorium, all in one go.
In the new house, Huang Miaoyu had already eaten the descendants' dumplings under the service of the happy matchmaker, and Yun Anyao whispered a few words to her before going out to accompany the guests.
Huang Miaoyu sat on the wedding bed.
Cui Fu was by her side.
"Is the girl hungry?"
I haven't eaten since morning. The girl's small body can't bear it. If she is really hungry, it doesn't matter how polite she is, she should fill her stomach first.
"I don't have an appetite." Huang Miaoyu shook her head and lifted her hijab, which was the same as not lifting it, and it was all right for her.
I can't see it, I can only imagine what my new house looks like in my mind.
"Why don't you just drink porridge?" Cuifu was still worried. The girl had been worrying too much these past few days, and her chin was sharpened. It can be seen that she had a lot of things in her heart, but she didn't say anything, they are slaves Yes, how dare you ask more.
……
I do not know how long it has been.
"Tui Fu, what time is it now?"
"Oh, girl, it's time of the year, and the guests are probably leaving soon."
Huang Miaoyu's fingers resting on her knees tightened.
I don't know if it's because of nervousness or anticipation, but my heart suddenly beat faster.
The words He Lian Shuang said to her before she got married seemed to be still echoing in her ears, but a woman is a woman after all, a little bit of jealousy can start a prairie fire.
The more she didn't think about it, the more her thoughts hooked her to guess what kind of person Yun An Yao was hiding in her heart.
To be hidden in his heart in such a forbearing way, that person must be a hundred times better than himself, right?
The door was pushed open without warning, and slightly heavy footsteps sounded at the door.
After a while, Yun Anyao sat beside her. He drank a lot of wine, his face was full of drunkenness, and his body smelled of alcohol.
Cuifu backed away winkingly.
"Little Lord." Huang Miaoyu couldn't see his face, so she just called softly.
"Ah."
Dumb and low, he seemed to have something on his mind.
"Well, you're drunk." Huang Miaoyu pursed her lips. She had never experienced a wedding night in the bridal chamber. At this moment, she couldn't find much to talk about.
"Are you hungry?" Drunk to drunk, he has not yet reached the point of unconsciousness, half of his body is leaning on the bedpost to support his precarious body.
"Well, I'm a little hungry."
Yun Anyao immediately called Cuifu, "Go to the kitchen and get some food to serve Madam."
Cuifu moved quickly, and it didn't take long to pack a few of Huang Miaoyu's favorite dishes in the food box.
Huang Miaoyu couldn't see, so someone had to feed her.
Cui Fu just picked up the chopsticks, Yun Anyao waved her hand, "You step back, I will do it myself."
Cuifu was overjoyed, and retreated happily.
Yun Anyao picked up the chopsticks, read the names of the food on the table to her, and finally asked, "What do you want to eat first?"
"Anything is fine." When she was alone with him, there seemed to be a suffocating sense of oppression in the air, which made her breathless, and her words trembled.
Yun Anyao casually picked up a chopstick dish and slowly fed it to her lips.
Huang Miaoyu opened her mouth and took a small bite.
After she swallowed it, Yun Anyao fed it again.
After repeating this dozens of times, Huang Miaoyu was finally full.
Someone removed the cups and plates and brought tea to rinse their mouths. After everyone retreated, Yun Anyao looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's rest!"
Huang Miaoyu's heart beat faster, her hands were at a loss and she didn't know where to put them, "I can't see, can the young master..."
Yun Anyao immediately understood what she meant, "Well, I will undress for you."
Stretching out his hand, his fingertips touched her bright red wedding dress, and his cold eyes darkened.
It's rare to get drunk at the banquet through a big wedding, but you still can't control your sobriety.
He got married, and after tonight, he had to formally say goodbye to the person in his heart.
The red wedding dress came off layer by layer, and with fascinated eyes, he saw her face as another person in the overlapping shadows.
What happened in the past was all buried in the heavy snow that day when he went to find her.
How deep is the love, how thin is the relationship, so far, farewell.
-
Because it was the marriage obtained by Mrs. Yun's jealousy, so it can't be regarded as a marriage resentment. Huang Miaoyu's treatment in Dongyang Hou's mansion is not bad. Considering that she is blind, Fan's exempted her from the second day of her wedding. There are many etiquettes such as offering tea and following the morning and evening.
Even so, a foreign daughter-in-law is not as good as one born at home.
Therefore, Fan's treatment of Huang Miaoyu was only superficially polite and gentle. Compared with Yun Chuwei, Huang Miaoyu was definitely treated as a standard daughter-in-law.
On February [-]th, Huang Miaoyu returned home.
Yun Anyao went to greet his mother-in-law Liu Shi and Mrs. Huang, and then went to the front yard to meet Huang Shoufu.
Before the wedding, Yun Anyao didn't have much contact with this pillar of the imperial court, but after the wedding, this was the first time he saw him.
"Greetings to Grandfather."
After entering the study, Yun An Yao saluted politely.
Hearing the voice, Huang Shoufu raised his head and waved to him, "Come and sit down."
The tone was casual as if he was treating his own grandson.
Yun An Yao walked over and sat down.
Huang Shoufu took a look at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, he looks dignified and majestic, just like your father did back then."
Regarding Huang Miaoyu's blind eyes, Huang Shoufu never gave any positive response, so Yun An Yao came here today with the mentality of being scolded.
Obviously, Huang Shoufu's reaction was far beyond his expectations. Not only did he not mention a word, but he kept praising him for having the demeanor of Yun Chong when he was young.
As a result, Yun Anyao felt even more restless.
"Boy Yun, you have to go to northern Xinjiang with your father tomorrow, right?"
"Well, there has been some turmoil in northern Xinjiang recently. The situation is severe and imminent. If you don't leave, the people there will probably be uneasy."
Huang Shoufu held a large brush in his hand, and with thick ink, he drew a word on the large rice paper in a fluttering motion.
Yun An Yao looked up.
— break.
Oh, this old man is interesting.
"A man's ambition is everywhere, how can he be confined to a small radius of ten feet because of his son's and daughter's affair?"
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, the meaning of the smile was unclear, Huang Shoufu continued to point out, "Boy, don't stop, you will be disturbed by it."
Yun An Yao's heart clicked.
Could it be that the old man really found something?
That's not right, ever since Piaoxue went to see Helian Shuang once, he had never seen her in private.
What's more, his love for her was completely destroyed as early as the wedding night.
Could it be that Huang Shoufu was referring to the relationship between him and Huang Miaoyu?
"The grandson doesn't understand what his grandfather means, so he hopes that his grandfather will give him some advice."
"Hehehe..." Huang Shoufu stroked his beard and smiled brightly, not only to see through, but not to completely break through, "just go, this year's Spring Festival, remember to go home."
This was a metaphor, but it was actually a reminder that he should calm down.
Fortunately, Yun Anyao had some ink in his stomach to translate such obscure words.
Immediately afterwards, a cold sweat broke out all over.
Sure enough, the old man knew that he liked He Lian Shuang.
"Grandfather." Yun An Yao blushed, trying to explain something.
"Ok?"
"Grandson... grandson is leaving now."
Standing up, he ran away like a child whose secret had been revealed, all the explanations seemed pale, and he simply didn't say those words.
He believed that a person like Huang Shoufu would not be able to go to her granddaughter to spread the news that he was so happy.
It's just... the heart that was already quiet was disturbed by Huang Shoufu, and it seemed to be a little messed up again.
On the way back to the mansion, Huang Miaoyu noticed that his breath was not right, "Little Lord, do you have something on your mind?"
"No." The same low voice.
It seemed that since she married him, that's the only way he'd ever talked.
"An Yao." Huang Miaoyu suddenly groped and threw herself into his arms, even though she knew that it took a lot of effort to get him to accept her, even though she knew that he hadn't completely let go of the person in her heart, all her doubts and resentments were still in hearing about him tomorrow The moment it was time to leave, it all fell apart.
Yun Anyao closed his eyes, calmed down, and put his arms around her mechanically, "What's wrong?"
"Suddenly I'm reluctant to let you go." Her voice was slightly crying, and the tip of her nose was red, showing her inner anxiety.
"Hey, I'll be back during the Chinese New Year." There was no emotional comfort, and she couldn't stop her tears.
I don't know how long I cried, and fell asleep in his arms.
When they arrived at Dongyanghou's Mansion, Yun Anyao personally carried Huang Miaoyu out of the carriage, his movements were extremely light, as if he was afraid of waking her up, and walked straight towards his yard along the way.
All the little maids in the house who had secretly coveted Yun Anyao before were so envious that their eyes were red with envy. What's so good about the young master?Unrestrained and handsome, graceful and graceful, they are definitely god-level figures who are so humble that they are in the dust, but they know that they are out of reach, but they still want to be on the tip of their hearts.
Now it is ruined by a sick man and a blind man.
It really feels like a good cabbage has been arched by a pig.
Of course, that "good cabbage" is definitely their suave young master.
Putting Huang Miaoyu on the bed, Yun Anyao never left, and sat casually on the armchair beside him, the darkness enveloped his handsome face, the line of his lips was tight, and his color was cold.
"Hmm..." Huang Miaoyu grunted softly, not knowing whether she was cold or had a bad dream.
Yun Anyao came back to his senses, leaned closer to the bed, saw her waking up slowly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huang Miaoyu couldn't see, but as long as she heard his voice, she felt at ease. She groped around with her hands, and finally grabbed his rough hands that held weapons all year round.
"Now... what time is it?"
Her voice trembled a little, and she seemed to be reluctant to part with melancholy. She thought it was already the next morning, before he left.
"It's still early." Yun An Yao explained to her patiently, her voice was indifferent, "If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer, and I will notify you at dinner time."
"Are you going out again?" Feeling that his hands were cold, no matter how warm she was, Huang Miaoyu withdrew her hand as if she had touched a thorn, and covered herself in the quilt, feeling a little painful in her heart.
"I have to go north early tomorrow morning, and I have to pack my things." He stood up, left a word and went out.
In fact, he didn't need to worry about those things at all, and his servants would clean them up, but he always stayed in that room, and he was so bored that he wanted to come out for a walk.
The words that Fan Shi had instructed him rang in his ears.
——It is true that the generals guarding the border cannot take their wives and children to the subordinate army town, but they can take concubines in the army town. With Miao Yu's body, it is estimated that she will not be able to carry on your family for you. Just accept the room, anyway, you have to leave a queen for yourself, don't you?
When a heavy burden is lifted, it just falls on his shoulders.
Can he say that he has no intention of taking concubines at all?Can you say that you don't want to take a concubine not because of your current wife, but because your heart can no longer find the passion and longing when you were young?
No!
He is the only heir of the long house, and it is his responsibility as the only son to pass on the family line to the long house.
Standing under the flower stand with his hands behind his back, the lines on his handsome face were unbelievably cold.
"Brother Yao, why are you standing here alone in a daze?" Yun Chong was taken aback when he saw this scene when he came over.
In my impression, although this son is serious in his work, he is always out of tune on weekdays. It seems that this is the first time he has such a cold face and dignified expression.
"Father." Hearing Yun Chong's voice, Yun An Yao immediately came back to his senses and smiled at him.
"You have something on your mind?"
"No." Yun Anyao shook his head, "It's just that I have to go north with my father tomorrow, and I won't see my mother and sister for a year, so I feel a lot of emotion."
For someone as shrewd as Yun Chong, he would be damned if he believed his words.
"You boy, you have learned to lie in front of me."
The old man's poisonous eyes made Yun An Yao helpless, so he had no choice but to tell his whole heart.
Yun Chong listened, frowned, and looked at him, "Then what do you think? Do you want to take a concubine and have children in northern Xinjiang?"
"I don't know." In his eyes, besides the gloomyness, there were hesitation and hesitation.
I don't know, that is, half of them may take concubines in northern Xinjiang.
Yun Chong patted him on the shoulder, "It's a good age, don't just use it for entanglement and sighing, and let go of your courage to do what you want to do, this is the true nature of a man."
Yun Chong didn't stay for long, and left soon.
When the sky darkened, Yun Anyao carried the food in a food box to Huang Miaoyu's room.
She had already got up and was dressed by Cui Fu.
"Young Lord." Hearing that it was his voice, Huang Miaoyu was overjoyed.
"Are you hungry?" Yun An Yao opened the food box, and laid out the exquisite food inside one by one.
Huang Miaoyu nodded, and groped over to sit with Cuifu's support.
Yun An Yao still fed her with chopsticks.
He promised to take care of her, and he didn't break his promise for a day.
It's just that he can give her his own body and all his care and care, but that heart cannot be given to her.
Probably considering that she won't see him for another year, she ate this meal very slowly today, as if she wanted to seal every bit of this night in her memory for the next year.
"Drink the soup." Yun Anyao picked up the spoon, scooped it up, blew on it, and fed it himself.
"Young Master." Huang Miaoyu's voice was weak.
"Ah."
Every time she called him, he always liked to answer like this.
Indifferent, clueless, as if he hummed it inadvertently, or as if he had formed a habit of coping with the answer.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, you...do you have anything to say to me?"
I don't know how much courage she mustered before she could say this sentence completely.
After the voice fell, there was a long silence.
Every minute and every second seemed to be tormenting her heart full of fear and expectation.
"When I'm not around, try to go out as little as possible to blow the cold wind. Let the maids and mothers guard the house at all times. Call someone if you have something to do. Don't try to be brave."
In a word, it was all about her body.
As if just completing the task.
Huang Miaoyu's expression darkened, "Is there any more?"
"Also, don't provoke the second- and third-bedrooms. You are in a special situation. Once you have an enemy, you will only be bullied. I'm not around. It's understandable that you can't take care of yourself, but you have to learn to protect yourself."
"Oh, I see." I never heard the sentence I wanted to hear the most. Although it was only a few days, Huang Miaoyu was used to it, and she forced a smile and said: "Young master should take care of yourself at the border." , I'll wait for your return."
"Ah."
-
The next day, just before dawn, Yun Anyao and Yun Chong were ready to set off to the north.
Yun Chuwei and Su Yan specially woke up early to see them off.
Touching his sister's head, Yun An Yao smiled, "Wait obediently, when I come back at the end of the year, I will bring you some specialties from northern Xinjiang."
"Okay, I'll wait." Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't want it if it's not expensive!"
Yun An Yao laughed and scoffed, "Greedy for money!"
Yun Chuwei rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not greedy for money, how can I marry such a rich husband?"
Su Yanjun's eyebrows trembled.
"Wei Wei." Yun Anyao suddenly became serious, "While I'm not around, can you go back to your mother's house to help me see her after a while?"
It is self-evident who "she" refers to.
Yun Chu scanned around slightly, but Huang Miaoyu didn't come out to see him off.
Knowing that, she pursed her lips, "Of course, that's my sister-in-law, can I not come?"
Yun An Yao felt relieved, and said loudly: "Take good care of me, and then I will reward you with a few golden leaves."
"Shh—" Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, "Gold leaves are worthless, and they are exchanged for Hetian jade."
"Row!"
What my sister said is always right.
Turning over and riding on the horse, Yun An Yao turned his head reluctantly, looking at Yun Chuwei, Mrs. Fan, and a group of servants who were seeing him off behind him, her eyes were a little hot.
This trip is a year.
He only knew that he would never see these relatives again in the next year, but he didn't know that when he came back a year later, his family would be in a different situation.
Things are, people are not.
-
After seeing off Yun Anyao and Yun Chong, Yun Chuwei went to Huang Miaoyu's yard.
"Sister-in-law." Yun Chuwei shouted enthusiastically as soon as she entered the door.
No one answered her, and the room was silent.
"Sister-in-law?" Yun Chu tilted his head slightly to look around, and finally saw Huang Miaoyu by the back window, with an indescribably sad expression.
"Why, are you reluctant to part with my brother?" Yun Chuwei walked over and teased.
Huang Miaoyu reluctantly laughed along, "I just feel that he left too suddenly, and I was a little unprepared."
"It's okay." Yun Chuwei sat down next to her, "There are many sisters in this mansion, not to mention my mother, if you feel lonely in the future, you can chat with them, or you can come to the Duke's Mansion as well." , if you feel inconvenient, then I will come and accompany you."
"I know you're usually very busy." Huang Miaoyu said, "It's better not to delay your work."
Yun Chu smiled, "No matter how big it is, is it important to be with my sister-in-law?"
"Wei Wei." Huang Miaoyu's voice was suddenly very quiet, so quiet that Yun Chuwei felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, just speak up if you have anything to say, I'm listening!"
"Master Jiu...does he love you very much?"
Yun Chuwei was stunned for a moment, never expecting such words to be asked from someone like Huang Miaoyu.
"Why did sister-in-law suddenly think of asking this?"
"I just want to know...he..." Before he finished speaking, his face was already red to the ears.
She actually wanted to ask if Master Jiu would kiss her when he was with her, but she couldn't get a word out of her mouth.
"Huh?" Yun Chuwei was confused, "I don't quite understand what sister-in-law means, can you be more straightforward."
"Forget it, I just said it casually." Huang Miaoyu was discouraged, how could she have the nerve to ask such a question.
The moment Yun An Yao left, she realized why she had never felt safe.
It's not that he doesn't love her enough, but that he never kisses her, which is a very serious symptom for a woman.
It showed that there was someone in his heart, and he was unwilling to give the kiss to a woman other than that person.
Seeing her hesitating and blushing, Yun Chuwei guessed that it was a difficult question, so she didn't ask any more questions, and started talking about other topics.
-
Time went back to the eighth day of February, which was the day of Yun Anyao's wedding. People from all provinces gathered in the capital, presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination was about to be held at the Gong Yuan in the inner city.
The night before, Xu Han prepared the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and dry food that Xu Mao would use the next day, and got up early to send Xu Mao to the Gongyuan in person.
Why prepare dry food?
There will be three trials.
In the first session on the ninth day of February, there are four essays in the test.
The second session on February [-]th is a test of five-character and eight-rhyme poems.
In the third session on February [-]th, the five scriptures and theories will be tested.
There is one game in three days, you have to enter the field the day before and exit the field the day after.
That is to say, for the first exam on the ninth day of the ninth day, candidates must enter the field on the eighth day of the eighth day, leave the field on the tenth day, enter the field on the eleventh day, leave the field on the thirteenth day, re-enter the field on the fourteenth day, and leave the field on the sixteenth day.
Until all three exams are finished.
During the three exams, Xu Han was extremely nervous. Every time he sent Xu Mao to the Gongyuan, he would stand outside and tell him carefully, "Brother, relax your mind, don't be too nervous, you are still young, don't keep thinking about failing the exam." Whatever happens, we still have opportunities in the future.”
That's what he said, but he was extremely nervous. My brother came here this time with the full expectation of his grandmother. Once his brother passed the exam and was appointed an official and had his own official residence in the capital, the brothers and sisters would be able to take care of their grandmother as well. Take it to the capital to enjoy the blessing.
Xu Mao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, after so long of preparation, I have adjusted my mentality a long time ago. I don't dare to say how much I can achieve and return home, but it should still be possible to barely make it to the list."
Hearing what Xu Mao said, Xu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. My brother has always been neither arrogant nor impatient, and he speaks modestly. He said that if he can barely make it to the list, he will definitely be on the list.
It seems that this test is not too difficult for him.
After three trials, it is already February [-]th.
Xu Han had been waiting outside the tribute courtyard a long time ago, and when she saw that Xu Mao was as refreshed as when she entered the arena, unlike some others with a worried face, she immediately smiled, "Look at my brother who is so uncomfortable." You don't seem to be in a hurry, you think you have a lot of confidence?"
Xu Mao smiled lightly, "It's just that I have a better mentality. There are so many students in the same period, and I can't guarantee that I will be ahead of them in the exam."
Xu Han raised her eyebrows, her brother is still so humble, but she is already very sure that her brother will definitely be on the list this time, the top few can't be counted on, the top [-], there should still be hope.
The brothers and sisters had only walked a certain distance when they saw a large and gorgeous carriage blocking the way ahead.
The people in the carriage gently lifted the curtains, their enchanting faces looked particularly attractive against the vibrant greenery around them.
Xu Han's heart fluttered.
For some reason, my heartbeat seemed a little frantic.
She hurriedly turned her head away, planning to turn around and leave.
"Second Highness."
Xu Han could pretend not to see it, but Xu Mao couldn't. He stepped forward respectfully and bowed his hands.
"Young Master Xu, you will have three trials, how do you feel?"
He Lianjin pursed his lips, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the little girl with an awkward expression.
"It's okay!" Xu Mao said, "At least, I'm satisfied with my state of mind."
Sure enough, the uncle is still as humble as in his previous life.
He Lianjin finished his slander, and raised his lips, "Last time Mr. Xu left in a hurry, and I was afraid to disturb your exam preparation, so I didn't mention it. Since I finished the exam today, I will host a banquet for Mr. Xu. You must not refuse the hard work during this time."
Xu Mao glanced at Xu Han beside him.
Seeing that Xu Han kept avoiding He Lianjin for some reason, he frowned, "Han'er, why don't you come to salute the Second Highness?"
Xu Han's heart was shocked, he recovered his breath, and approached slowly without raising his head, "Minnv has seen His Highness the Second Highness."
Pink and tender lips, flushed cheeks, delicate voice.
At first glance, it can make people soft to the bone.
He Lianjin looked at her, his Adam's apple slipped up and down.
"Second Highness?" Seeing that something was wrong with him, Xu Mao asked kindly, "Are you feeling well?"
He Lianjin's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile on his mouth, "I... nothing happened, is your carriage still there? Hurry up and get in the carriage, hurry to the restaurant!"
"Hey, good." Xu Mao stretched out his hand and tugged Xu Han, who was a little dazed, "Han'er, let's go!"
Xu Han didn't know what was wrong with him today, but he was in a trance frequently, and when he heard Xu Mao calling, he immediately followed up with his skirt lifted.
In the carriage ahead, He Lianjin finally calmed down.
The two carriages arrived at the Tanxiang Building together.
The private room is reserved early in the morning, and we only need to wait for the order.
The shopkeeper personally received these distinguished guests with a smile on his face, "Second Highness, what dishes do you want?"
He Lianjin pointed in Xu Han's direction with his chin, "Give her the menu."
Although I don't know who this girl is, as long as she is next to the Second Highness, she is definitely a distinguished guest, so the shopkeeper handed over the menu more respectfully, "Girl, here it is."
Xu Han didn't expect that He Lianjin would let her order. She was a little shocked, took the menu, looked at He Lianjin, and pointed to herself, "Me?"
He Lianjin nodded, his appearance was ruffian, his slender eye tails were raised up, provoking a bit of flirtatiousness.
The girl's heart was beating non-stop.
Without daring to look at him again, he immediately focused his eyes on the menu, ordered a few dishes hastily under the pressure of his eyes, then pretended to breathe, got up and walked to the window to look out.
call--
Finally breathing fresh air, Xu Han's tense heartstrings gradually relaxed.
She must be possessed.
Not long after, all the dishes were served.
He Lianjin opened the specially prepared wine and drank with Xu Mao. He didn't deliberately say anything to Xu Han. She was also happy and ate the food by herself.
When leaving Tanxianglou, Xu Mao ran into a classmate from Yangzhou, who insisted on inviting him to a gathering. After all, he had been classmates for many years, so Xu Mao still wanted to give him this face.
Although he knew it was a bit abrupt, he still said to He Lianjin, "Second Highness, Cao Min wants to get together with some classmates, can I trouble you to send Han'er back to Dongyang Marquis Mansion?"
Xu Han narrowly said: "Brother, our carriage is over there, I can go back by myself."
"I'm worried about you alone." Xu Mao showed some worry.
He Lianjin leaned on the carriage, folded his arms, and raised his twinkling eyes, "Could it be that Miss Xu can't trust the prince?"
"How...how could it be?" Xu Han bit her lower lip. It wasn't that she couldn't trust He Lianjin, but she really felt that it was weird that she lost her mind frequently today, and she would never dare to ride with him again, otherwise she would tell the truth later It would be bad to offend this demon king with some impolite words.
"Since you can trust it, let's go!" The tone could not be refused.
Even though he had acted very casually, he couldn't hide the dominance in his bones. Xu Han shivered for no reason, and his legs followed as if he had received an order.
When she got into the carriage, she sat down properly, her sitting posture was more standard than that of the ladies in the capital, and all the tension was covered up.
He Lianjin seemed to have casually opened the incense burner, and added some incense powder into it.
Xu Han's palms were sweaty, so he naturally had no time to worry about what he was doing.
In other words, in Xu Han's view, it is normal for him to add incense to the censer.
"Let's go!" He Lianjin said this to Bai who was driving outside.
hey-hey--
Bai Shu smiled sadly, the master's rare good opportunity came, of course he had to cooperate, so he chose a road that was contrary to Dongyang Houfu, planning to walk around the city first and wait for the master to finish his work.
Xu Han didn't look outside, so he didn't know that the route had been changed, and it wasn't the way to Dongyang Houfu at all.
He Lianjin, who had taken the incense antidote in advance, didn't look at her, and stared at the incense burner with shining and enchanting eyes, he was waiting for the aroma inside to take effect.
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the innocent little white rabbit in the carriage that the classmates who came to find Xu Mao were arranged by him with all his efforts.
The aroma gradually came out, and Xu Han rubbed his head uncomfortably.
He Lianjin asked: "Miss Xu, what's wrong?"
Xu Han shook his head, "I don't know, I just feel a little dizzy, probably because I drank too much wine just now."
As soon as Xu Han mentioned this, she remembered that the last time she recognized Fan as her godmother, she also drank too much wine that night, and when she woke up the next day, she found her lips were a little swollen. She automatically thought it was an adverse reaction after being drunk.She just had a drink at the Tanxiang Tower just now, is she about to get drunk?
For some reason, she was unwilling to appear drunk in front of He Lianjin, for fear of losing face and showing him a joke.
Because of this urgency, his face turned red again, with a hint of charm, and his eyes began to slacken, as if covered by a layer of mist. To him, it was terribly seductive.
He Lianjin's throat felt as if it had been scorched dry by wildfire.
"Second...Second Highness...I..." As soon as Xu Han finished speaking, he completely lost his sanity and was about to fall down in a daze.
He Lianjin's tall and muscular body approached, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out his long arms to hold her tightly in his arms.
"Miss Xu?" He Lianjin patted her tentatively.
no response.
"Dongyang Hou Mansion is here." He Lianjin patted again.
Still no response.
He Lianjin was finally relieved, and finally able to taste it well.
Bai Shu, who was driving the carriage outside, pricked up his ears, but when he heard something, he knew that the master was just ignoring casually again, so he coughed, "Master, actually... you can completely ignore your subordinates."
"roll--"
Unsurprisingly, there was an icy cold sound from inside.
Bai Shu burst into tears: Master, please marry Miss Xu quickly!
-
Xu Han was awakened by a pungent smell. She opened her eyes dimly and found that He Lianjin was staring at her.
In fact, it was He Lianjin who was "finished", and then used another kind of aromatherapy to wake her up.
Xu Han was shocked and rewound the memory for a while.
Oops!Could it be that she was really drunk and fell asleep?
Seeing that the carriage was parked, Xu Han twitched his lips in embarrassment, "Second Highness, are we...arriving?"
"Ah."
Xu Han opened the curtain and found that it was past noon outside.
No way?It was too late when she went to pick up her brother in the morning. How long would it take to go from Gongyuan to Dongyang Houfu?
"That..." Xu Han was embarrassed again, and wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"Miss Xu is asleep, so it's inconvenient for me to carry you down, so I have to stop outside the back door of Dongyang Hou Mansion, planning to wait for you to wake up before leaving." He seemed to see the worry in her eyes, and he smiled lightly, "Don't worry, there is no one here can be found."
In fact, he made people dizzy, kissed and hugged and rubbed against each other, and then walked around the city when he was happy, and then came back. Being able to tell lies so smoothly, it can be seen that the thick-skinned skill of the devil king in the world has deepened.
what? !
Are you really asleep?
Xu Han was depressed, "Then when I fell asleep, did I..." Do something indecent.
The sound of mosquitoes and flies is weak, barely audible.
"Huh?" He pretended not to hear.
"It's nothing, I...I'll take my leave first." With his cheeks burning hot, Xu Han immediately got up and lifted the curtain, forgot to even thank him, and rushed towards the door with the hem of his skirt.
Bai Shu looked at Xu Han's receding back with a full face of resentment.
This one, when will I be able to get married!

On March [-]th, apricot blossoms bloom all over the city, and the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites releases the list.
On such an exciting day, Yun Chuwei also came to join in the fun. She got up early, got into the carriage and went to Dongyang Houfu. When Xu Han and Xu Mao were ready, they went to Gongyuan together.
At this time, outside the Gongyuan, there was a sea of people, all of them were students waiting for their rankings to be released, and many of them had prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
In this era of underdeveloped communication, there is no convenient network. If students want to remember who won which ranking, they have to copy it stroke by stroke.
Yun Chuwei's carriage couldn't get in as soon as it reached the street, she was a little annoyed that she didn't come to book a room to watch the show first.
When he was struggling with how to get to the front to see the list, Bai Shu's voice came from the slant. He pointed to the teahouse beside him, "Mrs. Qingluan, Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, my master invites you to sit up."
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy is quick, he must have booked the room early, right?
^_^ Guess what number you got
