snowstorm

After Lu Jue left, those children who had just been peeking somewhere came out one by one and walked in front of him. They looked at each other, and seemed to have something to say, but they all murmured and refused to speak.The girl named "Yiwu" didn't come over, she just stood alone not far away and looked at this side, pouted her mouth and stomped her feet angrily.

Xie Qiao looked at the children who surrounded him again, only as if they were here to ask him not to tell his brother what the girl said and hurt them to be punished.

He raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when he saw a little girl in a blue brocade dress finally speak: "I... I will never call you a little bumpkin again, can you tell me about the pretty brother who just came to look for you Who is it?"

"Yeah," the fat boy who had just yelled about Xie Qiao's unattached jade jade also rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and said with a silly smile, "Tell us who that pretty brother was just now, not only will we not call you little bumpkin, Let you play with us!"

"Yes, if you tell us who he is, we will let you play with us." The other children also nodded to Xie Qiao while pinching the hem of their clothes.

Xie Qiao: "..."

So Xie Qiao felt that the roots of his teeth were itching again. He knew that there were always many people thinking about Lu Jue, but he never expected that even the children in the chief corner would think about him when they saw him, and even forgot that he would be hit by the board. Thinking about asking him who this "little bumpkin" is.

With a bright smile on his face, he asked, "Why do you want to know who he is?"

Seeing the smile on Xie Qiao's face, those children felt awkward and unsuitable for no reason, but the children were simple-minded and didn't think too much. When they saw Xie Qiao smile, they only thought that he was willing to tell them.The little girl in Tsing Yi bowed her head shyly and pinched the corner of her clothes, saying: "The pretty brother is good-looking, and A Yuan will marry him in the future. Then A Yuan will be able to see the pretty brother every day."

Xie Qiao's smile became brighter, and he asked the little fat man, "Why do you want to know who he is?"

The little fat man rubbed the back of his head foolishly: "I want to marry him in the future, he is really good-looking, better than all the older sisters I have ever seen, even better than Yiwu!"

Xie Qiao: "..."

The little girl in Tsing Yi didn't want to hear this, she frowned, stretched out her elbow to the boy, and said: "You can't marry a pretty brother! My aunt said that only girls can marry! Only a girl like Ah Yuan can marry a beautiful brother!"

The little fat man pouted: "You're lying! Why can't boys get married!"

Little girl: "You and your pretty brother are boys, so of course you can't marry him!"

Fatty: "You lied!"

Little girl: "You're the one lying!"

Other children also rushed to join in, and this group of children became a mess again.

Xie Qiao scratched his teeth and took the opportunity to get away, only thinking that if one day he could get Lu Huaiyu, then he would definitely not be able to resist hiding her from anyone.

A child noticed that Xie Qiao had sneaked away, and shouted to his background: "Hey! Little bumpkin! Don't go! You haven't told us who the beautiful brother is?"

Xie Qiao paused when he heard the words, then turned around, with an incomparably bright smile on his face, and said word by word: "No, yes, Feng, sue, he, yes, mine."

……

Xie Qiao found a quiet place again, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a shadow pressing on his head.He raised his head speechlessly, and saw the little girl named "Yiwu" standing in front of him.

Xie Qiao just felt that he shouldn't have come today at all, since he came to this paddock, he hasn't been clean for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked, standing up.

In fact, he later remembered who this little girl was.The little fat man once said that the girl's father is Zheng Guogong, so the little girl's surname is Zheng, and her name is Zheng Yiwu.She is indeed noble, no wonder she is the leader of the group of children.

Speaking of which, the Zheng family has a close relationship with the royal family. The reason why the Zheng family was able to confer titles is because the ancestors of the Zheng family married a princess of the royal family. That princess was the little princess at the knee of the emperor at that time. In order to protect his most beloved princess and descendants, the emperor made an exception and made the person she married a Duke, and the title could be hereditary.

Calculated in this way, although they are far away, Xie Qiao and this little girl can be regarded as close relatives.

The Zheng family has always set their sights on the top. When they chose a husband for this little girl in the previous life, they chose his elder brother.

Leaning on the wu, leaning on the wu, isn't it the phoenix who can lean on the wu?It was clear what the Zheng family was up to.

It's a pity that his elder brother, although he is dull and unrestrained in the relationship between men and women, once he opens his mind, he believes that there is no turning back for one person.

The little girl stared at Xie Qiao with resentment and embarrassment, Xie Qiao only thought that she came to him to ask Lu Jue like those other children, so she narrowed her eyes, smiled at him, showing her small white teeth, When the other party didn't even ask, he said: "No comment."

Zheng Yiwu's eyes widened in disbelief, and their sockets turned red. She pushed Xie Qiao hard, then turned and ran away.

Xie Qiao only became angry when the other party didn't ask the answer, and he didn't bother to argue with a child, so he didn't take it to heart.

……

The winter hunting ended in the evening, and the children here were gradually taken away by their families.After finishing work in the paddock, Lu Jue rode over to pick up Xie Qiao.

"Qiaoer, we're leaving." Lu Jue rode on the horse, and extended his hand to Xie Qiao with a smile: "Ride back today, you will learn to ride a horse sooner or later."

Xie Qiao stretched out his hand towards Lu Jue, and Lu Jue grabbed Xie Qiao's wrist and lifted it lightly, then lifted him in front of him. In the windy winter evening, he untied his cloak and wrapped Xie Qiao tightly.The horse "Tata" walked forward. In order to take care of Xie Qiao's first horse riding, Lu Jue controlled the speed of the horse.

Xie Qiao was wearing Lu Jue's cloak, and was protected by Lu Jue in front of him. The tip of his nose was full of Lu Jue's usual clear fragrance, so he felt extremely at ease.

Thinking of what happened today, Xie Qiao raised her head, wanting to see Lu Jue's eyes: "Brother Huaiyu, if you have someone in your heart, would you still like someone else?"

Although I knew the answer a long time ago, I still didn't give up. If I didn't give up, I couldn't help asking, and after asking, I was afraid of hearing the answer.

Lu Jue laughed twice, and Xie Qiao felt his chest tremble warmly when he smiled.He lowered his head and looked into Xie Qiao's eyes, his eyes seemed to reflect a fine light: "What do you think about every day? Do nine-year-olds think about such complicated things now?"

"I can't be nine years old forever."

"Well..." Lu Jue raised his head and looked at the road ahead that was dyed red by the setting sun, as if he was thinking about the answer to this question. After thinking for a while, he said: "My grandfather said before that I am too stubborn , is a fool, so..."

"If I fall in love with someone, then my life will never change."

forever and ever...

Xie Qiao tightened his grip on the horse's mane, lowered his head, and asked again: "What if that person already has a loved one?"

Lu Jue laughed loudly, and said, "Then I will guard him forever and never teach him."

Xie Qiao's hand holding the horse's mane was glowing white. Lu Jue Mingming had a very free and easy temperament, but when it came to matters of love, he was so stubborn and serious.He knew the answer a long time ago, and when he heard Lu Jue say it himself, he just felt like he had fallen off a bottomless cliff, and under the cliff was covered with thorny thorns, piercing him thoroughly.

But even so, he still didn't want Lu Jue to suffer.He neither wants Lu Jue to belong to others, nor does he want Lu Jue to experience the pain of "not being able to get it". In this way, there will never be an answer and relief.

His elder brother will marry the queen two years later. His elder brother is not used to being restrained by others, and he only chooses a woman he really likes when he becomes a queen.His elder brother has always been dull and unrestrained in the relationship between men and women, but just today, he will fall in love with a woman at first sight.Fall in love at first sight, fall in love again, after that it will be unswerving until death.

At that time, how would Lu Jue, who loves his brother, feel?

As long as he thinks about how painful it will be for Lu Jue, his own heart seems to ache just like his own.

"Brother Huaiyu..." Xie Qiao grabbed Lu Jue's sleeve and said hoarsely, "If you are going to be sad in the future..."

If Lu Jue is going to be sad, what should he do?

Come to find yourself?What can I do?He didn't want others to get Lu Jue, he couldn't get Lu Jue himself, and he didn't want and couldn't make his brother respond to Lu Jue's wishes.

"If you want to be sad in the future, I'll play a ditty for you." Xie Qiao suddenly said these words.

"Qiao Er, are you uncomfortable? If you are uncomfortable, we will go home directly." Lu Jue frowned. He felt that there was something wrong with Xie Qiao now.Originally, he wanted to take Xie Qiao to the emperor so that he could meet his elder brother, but if Xie Qiao was not feeling well, it would not be too late to see him later.

"I am fine."

Hearing that Xie Qiao's voice had returned to normal, Lu Jue was still worried about him, but after all he calmed down and teased him, "Didn't you say you couldn't understand the rhythm before?"

"I know how to blow leaves. When Brother Huaiyu is sad, I will blow to you, okay?"

"Okay," Lu Jue's voice was full of pampering that he didn't even realize, he smiled and said: "Then if I feel sad in the future, I will leave it to you."

……

The paddock of the royal family was along the river, and the guard of honor of the emperor stopped by the river to wait for Xie Qiao. Xie Zheng didn't see Xie Qiao for some days, so he wanted to meet him and give Xie Qiao something. A few little rabbits, he thought his younger brother would like them, so he kept them.

When Lu Jue and Xie Qiao rode to the riverside, they saw the emperor standing by the riverside, looking straight in one direction.

Xie Qiao tightened her grip on Lu Jue's sleeve: there was a small boat parked on the not-too-distant river, and a woman was cooking something on the boat.The woman's almond eyes were warm and beautiful, and when she smiled sweetly, it seemed that a hundred flowers were in full bloom.

That is, the woman who made Xie Zheng fall in love at first sight and died for Xie Zheng.
