Concubine's true colors

Chapter 237 Returning to the capital
Hearing that Xiao Jinxuan actually asked him if he would like to make Guo Yi his grandson-in-law, old man Zhao was stunned immediately.

As for Da Nier, who was by her grandfather's side, she never expected that Xiao Jinxuan would suddenly say these words before leaving. Guo Yi looked really shy.

As for Guo Yi, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her originally smiling face, and she hurried to Xiao Jinxuan in a few steps, ignoring the defenses of men and women, tugging at the other party's sleeves, and hurriedly said in a low voice:
"Miss Jinxuan, why are you still talking about matchmaking for me? I, Guo Yi, are in my mid-thirties, and Da Nier is only seventeen or eighteen years old. We are not a good match, let alone Guo Yi, who has been mediocre for half his life. I have accomplished nothing, and now I am staying in a hut, if I marry someone, if I can only suffer together with me, then I really don't want to drag others down."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing, and then led Guo Yi to the other side of the carriage, avoiding the people around, and then said softly with a smile:

"Guo Yi, you are not a pedantic person. Why are you constrained by your age now? I can see that Da Nier is interested in you. What's more, those rich and noble people who marry wives and take concubines are two or thirty years apart. It’s everywhere, and the age difference between the two of you is actually nothing.”

Seeing that Guo Yi wanted to refuse, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly waved her hands, and then said with expectation in her voice:

"I already know about your situation. Guo Yi, you have gone to Beijing for scientific research six times, but all of you have lost your name, but this does not mean that you have no talent and learning. It can only be said that the four books and five classics are not your director. Now I and Yu Wang I am about to return to Beijing, but the black iron produced by Heishan is a big deal, Zhuluo Town will leave Niu Jing to take care of the aftermath, but he is a military general, so it is inevitable that everything is not right, so I need your help, as long as the things here When it's done, you will return to Beijing with Niu Jing, and I, Xiao Jinxuan, will definitely be important to you, so that when Da Nier marries you, you don't have to worry about not being able to give her a good home."

Things in this world are often so elusive. Some people know it well, but they are depressed, while some people are illiterate, but they can get along smoothly.

And Guo Yi's situation is even more special. Although he has the ability to govern the country, he is extremely unfamiliar with poetry, books and classics. His deviant ideas are really not applicable to scientific research.

If he hadn't met Xiao Jinxuan now, maybe Guo Yi would have spent his whole life mad and frivolous in Zhuluo Town, until the moment he died, maybe in the eyes of others, he was just a lunatic, and no one would know him talent.

But now that he avoids the imperial examination, Xiao Jinxuan actually wants to reuse him. This kindness and trust moved Guo Yi and even his eye circles turned red. He, who has always been eloquent, didn't know what to say. To express my gratitude.

But at this moment, the old man Zhao came in, dragging Dani'er, looked at Guo Yi several times and said:

"Miss Jinxuan, you are very kind to me. Since you have opened your mouth, my granddaughter's marriage is settled, and Guo Yi personally supervised and beheaded Yan Sibao a few days ago, which can be regarded as a contribution to the villagers, Dani I have nothing to worry about following him."

Seeing that the marriage was settled, Xiao Jinxuan was also very happy in her heart, she immediately smiled at Da Nier, and the other party also nodded her head quietly and gratefully.

Then Xiao Jinxuan got into the carriage without further delay, and a pair of horses and horses marched in the direction of the capital.

If Zhou Xianyu rode alone for twenty miles, it would take less than half a day. After all, Wu Xue is a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day, but now hundreds of people are marching, and Xiao Jinxuan is still riding in a carriage, so the speed is natural. It's a lot slower.

Seeing that they had been walking for two hours, Xiao Jinxuan felt bored even though her temperament was calm, so she immediately opened the curtains of the car and looked out, preparing to see the scenery along the road, so as to relieve her embarrassing mood .

The window was almost lifted, and the dumpling who was in the same carriage as Xiao Jinxuan immediately lay down by the window, her somewhat big head also took up all the gaps, making Xiao Jinxuan unable to see any scenery other than the back of its head. .

And Zhou Xianyu, who followed closely beside the carriage and drove forward, looked at the dumpling sticking out his head, and immediately said with a chuckle:

"Rou Tuanzi, can't you be restless, but you are a bamboo bear, why don't you take a carriage if you have nothing to do, come out and walk on the ground by yourself, so as not to disturb Xuan'er by your recklessness."

After getting along for a long time, although Tuanzi was always by Xiao Jinxuan's side, he preferred to cling to Zhou Xianyu, so immediately he saw the little guy stretching out his front paws, whining, hoping to be carried out of the carriage by the other party.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianyu smiled charmingly, and without getting off the horse, he directly bent over and grabbed Tuanzi's front paws, dragged the little guy out along the car window in a somewhat rude manner, and threw it on the ground casually .

Xiao Jinxuan was quite frightened by this, so she quickly looked out, and saw that although the dumpling fell to the ground, she got up after rolling around, and immediately followed Wu Xueliangju, bouncing happily step up.

And Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but said frivolously: "Xuan'er, you are too nervous. It looks small, but it won't hurt if you fall or touch it. If you spoil it like this, this little thing will soon be raised by you." He has become a puppy, so he still has the aura of the king of the bamboo forest."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan didn't know the truth, so after seeing her think for a while, she frowned and said softly:
"Xianyu, originally I wanted to keep the tuanzi by my side, but now it seems that you are more suitable to carry it than me. I heard that there are generals in various countries who tame strange beasts as their own war beasts. You have fought in the battlefield all year round. Tuanzi is also a rare auspicious beast. Even if it grows up by my side, it will become an ordinary bamboo bear, but if it follows you, it will learn the ability to protect itself from a young age. We will not follow the old path of female bamboo bears being hunted down."

Zhou Xianyu knows better than anyone how much Xiao Jinxuan cares about the dumplings. Just take the little collar that is hanging around the little guy's neck now. It is the black fur that Xiao Jinxuan took off from the mother bamboo bear and three sharp armors. , It took a whole night to stay up late to make it.

But now Xiao Jinxuan wants to give the dumpling to herself to raise. Zhou Xianyu really likes this little guy, but he is afraid that the other party will not let him go. I'm going to feel bad.

Just when Zhou Xianyu wanted to ask Xiao Jinxuan, but had made up his mind, suddenly there was a noise from behind the team, which interrupted his words.

There was a lot of commotion behind this, even Xiao Jinxuan in the carriage was startled, and she seemed to hear someone calling her name faintly.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan asked the driver to stop the horse, and then asked Zhou Xianyu what happened with some puzzlement.

But Zhou Xianyu was following the car all the time, so he didn't know it, so he told Xiao Jinxuan to be calm, and he drove his horse to the team behind him.

It didn't take long, Zhou Xianyu left and returned after Shaoqing, but now there was another person following behind his horse, and Xiao Jinxuan knew this person, it was not long ago that he stopped him Qi Bei Da Dao, the Bai Chu who rescued her.

As soon as Chu Bai arrived in front of the chariots and horses, he knelt down on the ground, disregarding that his internal injuries had not healed, he coughed weakly and said:

"Miss Jinxuan, please let Baichu follow you. Ever since you woke up from the coma, every word you said in front of the soldiers that day has been repeated countless times in my mind, especially I wanted to kill you before, but not only did you not care about it, you even asked someone to heal me afterwards, you saved Baichu's life, and I am willing to fight for you in the future."

As soon as Bai Chu finished speaking, before Xiao Jinxuan could answer in astonishment, Zhou Xianyu who was beside him withdrew his originally lazy expression, and said a little sourly:

"What do you mean you are willing to fight for Jinxuan? It is the Lord who protects her from the wind and rain. What's the matter with you kid here? Seeing that you saved Jinxuan's life, and you followed the town to kill people, this king will not It's time to investigate, hurry up, you can't even block Qi Bei's blow, if you follow Xuan'er, you will hold her back."

Hearing Zhou Xianyu's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help covering her mouth and couldn't help but chuckled a bit, looking at Baichu who was kneeling on the ground on one knee, being ridiculed by the other party, her face was as red as a pig's liver, she thought for a while before slowly said:

"It's not impossible for you to serve me, but just like your Highness said, with your ability, you still can't get me in my eyes, let alone who you are fighting for. If you want to, you can go to the Beijing military camp to experience it. , when you can go through ten tricks in Yu Wang's hands, and you are still willing to serve me, then I, Xiao Jinxuan, will definitely not reject you."

Xiao Jinxuan's words were reasonable and reasonable, and Bai Chu also knew how important he was, and the other party was the daughter of the handsome mansion, so he was really not worthy of following the other party with his current abilities.

Immediately, Bai Chu did not hesitate at all, and directly punched Xiao Jinxuan, and then walked towards the army at the rear, obviously intending to integrate into the Beijing army camp, and practice himself according to Xiao Jinxuan's request.

Although Zhou Xianyu said that Bai Chu was worthless, but the other party was able to stand up to rescue Xiao Jinxuan in times of crisis, he was a man of blood.

In addition, after Zhou Xianyu went through this incident, after Xiao Jinxuan was taken captive and fell off the cliff, he also realized that the other party really should cultivate some assassins of his own hidden guards. there is none left.

And Chu Bai is a good candidate, so Zhou Xianyu has already made a decision in his heart. After returning to Beijing, he will take time to cultivate the other party so that he can serve Xiao Jinxuan better in the future.

After arranging Baichu's affairs, there were no small episodes happening on the way forward, so at noon, they could enter the capital with a team of three or four miles.

But at this moment, on the empty official road in front of them, a team of about a hundred people came out. Zhou Xianyu feared that there might be an ambush, or that Zhou Xiantai jumped over the wall to stop them again when he learned that they were returning to Beijing, so He hurriedly sent a small group of people to investigate first.

When the inspectors came back, they immediately stated that the front was the troops from the Beijing military battalion, and it was not that there was any enemy situation.

What surprised Xiao Jinxuan the most was that the investigating team also said that her aunt Zhao, her cousin Xiao Jinwen, Zhou Xianrui, and Shen Wenqing all came, and they went out of the city to greet them three miles away, waiting to cleanse them up.
