"It's true that you can be fickle with your words, act arbitrarily, and be arrogant." Xiao Yan refuted Xiao Yuan mercilessly, even with a few of his subordinates, he didn't like it.

Listening to Xiao Yuan's words, Xiao Boxu couldn't help asking Xiao Yan: "Do the common people really celebrate the death of Fuling prefect?"

Xiao Yan saluted and said: "Father, you can't just listen to Xiao Yuan's one-sided words. If you kill an official, no matter who it is, the common people will be happy."

"Is that true?"

"Father, this Xiao Yuan is really arbitrary, he doesn't take you seriously at all. As I said, only you, father, can deal with the prefect of Fuling." Xiao Yan quickly defended.

Xiao Boxu sighed helplessly: "It's expedient, Dalang, you don't understand. Fortunately, there are no outsiders today. Erlang really didn't discuss with you. You have been wronged, so let's let this matter go and don't mention it again."

Xiao Yan wanted to open his mouth to say more, but Wang Funian signaled him not to say any more, so he could only shut up.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, Xiao Yuan naturally took Gu Junci and Huo Situ to listen to Feng Xiaozhu's balcony to boil water and make tea.

The wind in the autumn night is a bit cool, blowing and listening to the shadows of the trees outside Xiaozhu's wall shaking, the moon in the sky will be more round if it is missing a little bit.

The fragrance of tea gradually wafted out. Huo Situ held the teacup and drank it like a cow drinking water, and then said:

"Second Young Master, looking at your house, it seems too peaceful."

Yang Junfang abducted him, which made him shut up immediately, and looked at Xiao Yuan with some embarrassment.

Gu Junci also seemed to think of when he was in Langya, he overheard the conversation between Xiao Yuan and Pei Sheng. He thought that it had been a long time since he came to the Duke's mansion, but Xiao Yuan's limelight has become more and more popular. This made Xiao Yan also explode.

Gu Jun said: "Don't say that the Duke's mansion is not peaceful right now, even the world is in chaos. I heard that after His Majesty left Luoyang, he sent the princess and other concubines back to Chang'an. I also took this opportunity to win over the courtiers."

Xiao Yuan poured tea for them: "The world is in chaos, and it's the ordinary people who suffer."

Huo Situ said: "Since the world is going to be chaotic, it should be chaotic to the end. Only when there is great chaos and great order can there be eternal peace."

Yang Junfang looked at him: "It's not that easy, after all, His Majesty is still here."

Huo Situ also sighed, and the terrace fell into silence.

Gu Junci drank tea by himself, looked sideways at Xiao Yuan and said, "By the way, the marriage between Miss Xiao and Wang Funian will be in October, and it's time for the mansion to make arrangements."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Father arranged for me to send the marriage to Langya at that time."

Just as he was talking about Xiao Shunhua, he saw Xiao Yuan, the servant in the courtyard, go upstairs. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yuan turned his head. Seeing the servant saluting at the stairs, Xiao Yuan asked:

"Just now, it seems that Shunhua is here."

The boy said: "That's right, the girl brought the girl from the Wang family here, and said that the scenery in the second son's courtyard is good, so she brought it here to have a look."

Xiao Yuan: "What else did she say?"

Boy: "The girl said that she is downstairs at the moment, and she has something to discuss with the second young master."

Xiao Yuan looked back at the three people in front of him, seeing them beckoning him to leave quickly, he got up in peace and followed the servant downstairs.

Just after leaving Tingfeng Xiaozhu, Xiao Yuan saw Xiao Shunhua who was waiting on the corridor, she nodded slightly to salute Xiao Yuan:

"Don't bother the second brother and Mr. Gu to watch the moon."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, and his gaze also fell on the figure of the girl from the Wang family sitting in the pavilion by the pond, he said doubtfully: "It's against the rules to bring her to my place this late in the evening."

Xiao Shunhua nodded and smiled: "I also think that the scenery in Second Brother's yard is the best, and it is the most suitable for enjoying the moon."

"You are looking for me, what is the matter?" Xiao Yuan asked straight to the point.

Xiao Shunhua was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, it's nothing, just... I just want to ask Mr. Gu if they want to stay overnight, so I can make arrangements."

"There are guest rooms in our courtyard, so there is no need to arrange them specially." Xiao Yuan looked directly at Xiao Shunhua and replied coldly.

But Xiao Shunhua looked back at Wang Sihe, who was drinking tea, and at Xiao Yuan in some embarrassment, for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

The three people who were drinking tea and watching the moon on the terrace suddenly found that there was no water in the kettle. Gu Junci hurriedly volunteered to go downstairs with the kettle, ready to come out to fetch some water, but he just arrived at the door of Tingfeng Xiaozhu , and heard the conversation between Xiao Shunhua and Xiao Yuan.

Gu Junci stopped in a hurry, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

Xiao Shunhua said: "According to my mother's opinion, Miss Sihe is a side branch of the Wang family, so she may not be able to be the main wife, but she thinks that the second brother can marry Miss Sihe as a concubine. It's also more reassuring."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were cold, and he looked directly at Xiao Shunhua for a long while: "The servants in my courtyard are very good at serving."

"But second brother, my mother has also worked hard." Xiao Shunhua hastily persuaded, "We have one mother, and we have been closest to second brother since we were young. Second brother, I often think that if Shunying is still alive, I am afraid that my father will I have already put the marriage on the agenda for you."

Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes and sighed: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Shunhua stared straight at Xiao Yuan, and it took a long time before he said seriously: "Is it true that Second Brother was bewitched by Mr. Gu as rumored, and that's why he refused to marry a wife?"

Xiao Yuan's heart trembled, and even Gu Junci in the room froze, and instantly wanted to rush out and ask Xiao Shunhua exactly who he was confusing.

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes to avoid Xiao Shunhua's direct gaze, and just asked: "Where did the rumors come from?"

Xiao Shunhua held Xiao Yuan's arm: "Second brother, there is nothing wrong with the hole."

Xiao Yuan: "If you talk about this matter, let me just say it. It's better not to talk about what Gu Junci is doing. It's better to say less about such things that destroy people's innocence."

Xiao Shunhua said: "But Prime Minister Xie's son, Xie Suiyun, was bewitched by him, because of him he even refused the marriage offer from His Majesty and Empress."

Xiao Yuan stared at Xiao Shunhua, and his expression became more and more serious: "Rumors are fiercer than tigers, don't you understand this truth? What you did was not to stop the spread of rumors, but to question whether you were confused by Brother Gu, isn't it too ridiculous? Is it gone?"

Xiao Shunhua looked a little aggrieved: "I know, I know I shouldn't believe those rumors, but, but you are my second brother."

Xiao Yuan sighed: "Shunhua, you are my younger sister, I really shouldn't blame you for some things, but Brother Gu is my friend, I will never allow anyone to slander him, if anyone is gossiping behind his back, don't blame me Turn your face and be ruthless. As for Miss Na Sihe, I won't marry either. It's because I don't want to, I don't want to, and it has nothing to do with others. If your mother wants to ask, you can tell her that. If you are in trouble, I can say it myself. "

Only then did Xiao Shunhua nod in embarrassment, as a response to Xiao Yuan's words.

Waiting for Xiao Shunhua to leave, Xiao Yuan sighed and walked back to Tingfeng Xiaozhu, but when he entered the room, he found Gu Junci standing at the stairs. He was holding the water bottle in embarrassment, and said in embarrassment:

"I... I came down to get water, I didn't... didn't expect to hear..."

Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Junci with a somewhat complicated expression, stepped in front of him, nodded slightly to adjust his mood: "I, I never thought that there would be such rumors."

Gu Junci smiled calmly: "What's the matter, it's not my fault that I look good."

Xiao Yuan looked at him straight, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he thought Xiao Shunhua was right in his words, he was indeed unwilling to marry a wife because of Gu Junci.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Junci couldn't help smiling and approaching him, teasing: "I think Miss Sihe is pretty good, you might as well marry her as a concubine."

Xiao Yuan's expression was slightly cold, and he said coldly: "How much wronged will my wife have to suffer from then on?"

Gu Junci was stunned, he never thought that a joke would make Xiao Yuan angry, so he hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant."

Xiao Yuan said: "In the future, my main wife must be the one I love. If I marry a concubine before her, will I still be devoted to her? If I neglect the concubine for the sake of the main wife, I will be a heartless man and a fickle man. If my main wife The concubine is placed in an equal position, so how unfair is it to my wife?"

Hearing what Xiao Yuan said, for some reason, Gu Junci felt a little pain in his heart. Xiao Yuan will indeed marry a wife in the future, this is an undoubted fact.

Especially now that he can say such touching words in front of an outsider like him, one can imagine how affectionate Xiao Yuan must be. After getting married in the future, the husband and wife will be harmonious and the music will be harmonious.

As for Gu Junci, he is just his close friend, but why does Gu Junci feel a little pain in his heart at this moment, as if something clearly held something, and then disappeared in an instant, making him feel a little bit out of strength , but still have to stand tenaciously.

"I... I'm just a joke." Gu Junci said without confidence.

Xiao Yuan approached, provoking Gu Junci to take a step back, and then felt his hand was hot, Xiao Yuan took the water bottle in his hand and said: "I'll go get water."

Gu Junci nodded in response, then turned around and went upstairs to the terrace of Tingfeng Xiaozhu.

On the seventh day of October, the fog was thick in late autumn, and when I woke up in the morning, I couldn't tell who was coming from a mile away.

Xiao Shunhua's wedding made the Duke's mansion very busy. Gu Junci and Yang Junfang, as members of the send-off team, packed up early in the morning to report to the Duke's mansion, and made arrangements according to the previously discussed process. , just waiting for the auspicious time to come, then Xiao Yan carried Xiao Shunhua out of the mansion and got into a bridal sedan chair.

However, while waiting for the auspicious time, there was even more hustle and bustle outside the gate of the mansion, and someone even came to report that the imperial envoy had come with the emperor's imperial edict.

People in the government's mansion set up an incense table, and the whole mansion knelt down to listen to the imperial decree.

The emperor sent a total of two imperial edicts. The first one was to celebrate Xiao Shunhua's great wedding. The two married families are the emperor's relatives. As Xiao Shunhua's dowry.

The second imperial decree is not limited to this one, except for the Lanling Xiao family, other aristocratic families, and even all the anti-kings who have raised troops will receive a piece of news.

On the second day of February in the 15th year of Jianye, the Emperor Association set up a competition arena outside Jinling City, inviting all anti-kings and aristocratic families to participate, and compete for the title of No. [-] martial arts champion in the world. turn up.
