Enemies are reborn

Xie Yu left in a hurry, did not see Xiao Kunning halfway, but saw Gao Yang who came to disrupt the situation.

Unknowingly living in the mountains for three days, Gao Yang's patience was exhausted, and Zhao Chulin pulled out all of her An Zhi's people one by one. The method was fierce, and the speed was so fast that she had no time to respond.If Xie Yu didn't go back, he would really wait to become a chopping board fish and be slaughtered by others.

"It's just in time. When will you return to Chang'an City? How about tomorrow, and I'll practice it for you tonight?"

Xie Yu cared about Xiao Kunning, and never refused. It is rare to be with his mother for three days, "Your Highness believes in me, so give me your people."

Gao Yang's eyelids twitched, "You have been in the court for many days, could it be possible that you don't have your own help?"

Xie Yu said with a smile: "Yes, there is, but it has nothing to do with His Highness. I'll just contribute manpower, and it's not good to contribute financial resources to you. Why don't you give me some monthly salary?"

"Really? Grand Tutor Xie will also be short of money?" Gao Yang didn't seem to care when he saw her negotiating with him in a low spirit, but she didn't dare to look down on Xie Yu. If she was not careful, she would be lost forever.

Xie Yu's posture was lazy, and he looked at the direction where Xiao Kunning left in the distance, "Qi, I have to give a dowry after returning to Chang'an City. Mrs. Xiao is not easy to get along with. If the Xie family is a bit stingy, I'm afraid they will kick me out."

Gao Yang glared angrily: "You are so worthless, does it have to be her?"

"To be honest, the Xie family didn't teach me anything, and I don't even have the backbone. The Xie family can do it with Xiao Kunning, and I don't need any backbone. What do you think?" Xie Yu's clear eyes reflected Gao Yang's hatred for iron. She didn't know if Gang's expression was real or not, so she said, "I'll ask Zhao Xiran to marry more."

Xie Yu counted with his fingers, and pretended to be confused: "Did you give this?"

Gao Yang said cheekily, "I gave it."

"Then I would like to thank Auntie. Prepare some travel expenses. I will take your nephew and daughter-in-law back to Chang'an tomorrow. I won't disturb you to put a hat on Zhao Erdong's house." Xie Yu waved at Gao Yang indifferently, and left with his hands behind his back. .

Gao Yang blinked his eyes in anger at these few words, and swallowed them with gritted teeth.

Xie Yu was led by the maid to Xiao Kunning's residence, a simple courtyard, a table was placed at the main entrance of the house, and Xiao Kunning was sitting there.

The maid stepped back outside the courtyard gate, and Xie Yu walked in alone. Before Xiao Kunning could stand up, she hugged her from behind, brushing her face with her hand: "Scared you?"

Xiao Kunning was caught off guard and was taken advantage of, there was still a warm feeling in her ears, her heart warmed up, she took a light breath, pretending not to care, "No, I'm not a child, she still okay?"

"She is still the same. She doesn't know me. She always only remembers me when I was a few years old, and she still thinks of me all the time. It's a pity that she doesn't know me when I stand in front of her." Xie Yu's tone sank, even The brisk tone is also hard to hide the loss.

Xiao Kunning didn't know how to comfort her. Zhao Xiran treated her like a friend. Friendship escaped family affection. After returning home, she also had no mother-daughter relationship with Luo Shi, and she couldn't empathize with Xie Yu. She could only hold her hand and gently knead her Wrist, tell her: "Xie Yu, it is good for her to live, and she will get to know you in time. Xie Yu in her eyes is a kind and pure child, and that is the gratitude of all mothers."

"Mmm." Xie Yu responded softly, the corners of his lips lightly touched the white and soft face, slowly rubbing it all the way to his ears.

Xiao Kunning flinched and said nothing.

The next day, the two left Dengzhou in a carriage, and returned to Chang'an City lightly.

When I returned to Xiao's house, I saw many brocade boxes in the front yard, covering most of the yard. For some reason, Xiao Kunning caught the boy and asked, "What is this?"

The boy was full of joy, and he was even more happy when he saw the second girl back, "It's Mr. Wen who came to hire me."

Xiao Kunning was puzzled: "Which Mr. Wen, what kind of appointment?"

"Master Wen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, hire the eldest girl. A while ago, Lord Japanese came to ask to marry the eldest girl."

Xiao Kunning was disappointed, it turned out that Wen Yuke and Xiao Wenxue were getting along well, both of them were pure and pure characters, Xiao Wenxue had a delicate mind, Wen and Ke were rare cultural relics, and they matched well, she was happy to see him become.

I went to the backyard to pay my respects to Luo Shi, and happened to meet the Wen family who came to hire me. Luo Shi was not happy to see her long-lost daughter, and told her not to move around when she came back, and continued to talk to the Wen family.

The eyes of those who got away with it fluttered, and they couldn't wait to go to Xiao Wenxue's yard. It was slightly cold in early winter, and they were sitting under the window embroidering wedding dresses.

The red embroidered surface was seen from a long distance, and after getting closer, the wedding dress was embroidered extremely delicately, Xiao Kunning exclaimed: "Sister, this is a lot of effort."

Xiao Wenxue's heart trembled, the tip of the needle almost poked her fingertips, her pretty face immediately turned cold, "Why are you back?"

"Don't wait to see me." Xiao Kunning said casually, saw the crabapple petals on the embroidered surface, and touched them with her hands. The things embroidered with gold silk are magnificent, and they are even more lifelike in Xiao Wenxue's hands. She said cheekily: "You When you finish embroidery, embroider one for me too?"

"No, Master Wen also needs me to embroider." Xiao Wenxue became inexplicably panicked when she was talking nonsense, and looked at the familiar people in panic, "A-Ning, did you come back alone?" ?”

"And Xie Yu." Xiao Kunning didn't notice her loss, but happily took the small red objects embroidered on one side and looked at them one by one. They were exquisite and small, and the key was that Xiao Wenxue embroidered them herself.

What I do with my own hands carries different sentiments. Only at this time can I feel the importance of female workers.

Xiao Wenxue never opened her mouth, staring at her relaxed back, her heart fluttered and she couldn't settle down.

Wen Yuke only has Xiao Kunning in his heart. If he comes back, will this marriage continue?

Xiao Kunning couldn't help but look at so many exquisite gadgets, and looked at Xiao Wenxue happily: "Do you like her? She has a straighter temper, and she has the same thoughts as you, very delicate. Your vision is very good, There is a grandmother in Wen and Ke's family who is also very understanding, and you can get along in harmony. As for the Wen family in Luoyang, you don't need to care about it. If you come to blow the autumn wind, you will be kicked out, and you don't need to show mercy."

"You know her so well?" Xiao Wenxue became more and more lost, and it was not easy to ask more questions in front of Xiao Kunning, but she still told the truth: "Actually, we are fake. My mother forced me to get married, and I don't want to marry like this For those who have never met before, please beg Mr. Wen to marry me. We will be divorced at that time, and I will not delay her."

"Fake, you are really brave." Xiao Kunning was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe that a person with strict rules would deviate from the rules and do such a bold thing. Thinking of Wen Yuke's gentle appearance, she said with relief: "If you put your heart into dating her If you get along with each other, you will find that she is also a good candidate, there are not many lovers, so you should cherish her even more."

"En." Xiao Wenxue responded, facing Xiao Kunning's sudden return, things seemed to have become unknown, and there were still a few months before the wedding, if Wen Yu could go back on his word, she would push herself into a dilemma.

****

The Xiao family's happy event spread to the whole city, Xiao Mingwang was very satisfied, and when he heard that Xie Yu had returned to Chang'an City, his joy disappeared immediately.

Xie Yu coveted Aning, he still hasn't figured it out.

Just when he was about to go to Xie's mansion to get back the marriage certificate in person, Xie Yu came to the door in person.

When the enemy is at present, he will meet it in person.

Xie Yu was no longer the grand tutor, and Wen Yuke took over the post of Shangshu again. She is in an awkward situation now, but her momentum has not diminished, and the coercion of being in a high position is still there.

Xiao Mingwang's anger turned into a smile, "I heard that your health has improved a lot."

The dry words were like popping out of a rock, Xie Yu knew that he didn't want to but pretended not to know, and followed him into the hall and sat down to talk.

Xiao Mingwang saw the person with the same temperament as before, felt his mouth dry, took a sip of tea from the servant girl, and said: "Come here today, are you returning the marriage certificate?"

"No, I'm here to inquire about the dowry. The Wen family gave it, and the Xie family will not miss it." Xie Yu said frankly, with the spring breeze in the corners of his brows and eyes, and there was a lot of pride in his words.

Xiao Mingwang was so pissed off by her complacency, he was arrogant, domineering, arrogant, blind at the time, "The Xiao family can't climb up to Xie's house."

"It's okay, the Xie family doesn't mind." Xie Yu smiled lightly.

Xiao Mingwang tried his best to suppress his anger, and said: "The Xiao family doesn't want to marry Xie Yu."

"It's okay, Xie Yu married Xiao Kunning, Zhao Xiran said that she can also marry her daughter."

Xiao Mingwang: "..." I have never seen such a brazen person with such a bad attitude in proposing marriage. One can imagine what kind of attitude Aning will have in the future.

"I don't agree to this matter, you can give up your heart."

"Master Xiao doesn't agree. I will take the marriage certificate and go to His Majesty to seek justice."

Xiao Mingwang's anger was instantly extinguished by the light words. After staring at her for a while, he had to bow his head, "I still need to ask Ah Ning for her opinion."

"Ling Ai took me out of Chang'an City and took care of me for a few months. There is no need to ask about the marriage. It's better for you to think about the date of the wedding. Why don't you just do things in winter? What do you think?" Xie Yu took out a bag from his sleeve pocket. On a piece of red paper, the times written on it are all auspicious days.

Xie Yu was well prepared and beat Xiao Mingwang by surprise. Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xie Yu didn't stay any longer, and said sincerely, "Master Xiao, think about it carefully. I'll go back home first and wait for your good news."

Xiao Ming hoped that it was too late to chase away the guests, let alone talk about keeping them back, so he ordered the servant to see off the guests, and went to the backyard to settle accounts with Xiao Kunning himself.

Xiao Kunning was worried about adding makeup to Xiao Wenxue, and was thinking of going to the Moxiang Pavilion to get some money, but before she went out, she saw Xiao Mingwang coming in angrily.

He Lan was at a loss, opened the door and saw a figure rushing in, "Xiao Kunning."

Xiao Kunning knew what was going on, and she didn't bother him. In Xie Yu's hands, no one could benefit. She smiled flatteringly: "Talk slowly, I'll listen, don't let Xie Yu get angry with you. On me. Let me teach you a trick, ask for more dowry, and she will give up if she can't get it."

Xiao Ming saw that she was carefully flattering himself, and suddenly it was difficult to relapse. Xie Yu has changed her identity now, she is the daughter of Princess Leyang, and the dowry will definitely not trouble her. What kind of fuel-efficient lamp, if you like someone and don't like her, you are undoubtedly jumping into the pit yourself."

Xiao Kunning drooped her head, "You can't blame me for being weak. Besides, Xie Yu is not easy to get along with. In the final analysis, it's all your fault. If you don't provoke Zhao Xiran, Zhao Xiran won't take me away, Xie Yu You won't see me, and there will be nothing today, after all, you planted the root of the disaster yourself, and you can't resent me."

"Blame me?" Xiao Mingwang's face turned livid after his face was covered with anger, and he slapped the table fiercely, "It's too deceitful, I'll go and report to His Majesty, Xie Yu was abducted."

But Xiao Kunning said: "You forgot that His Majesty is Xie Yu's uncle, and people's hearts are biased. If you go to His Majesty, he will only be biased towards Xie Yu. At that time, you will be ashamed when you provoke yourself. Why don't you think about how to get rid of Xie Yu?" Get back your losses."

No matter what, Zhao Chulin would care about face and would not blame Xie Yu. Xiao Mingwang felt aggrieved when he thought that Xie Yu was from the Zhao family, and there was no fairness in the power struggle in the court.He had no choice but to give in, facing his daughter's growing guilt, "Oh, I just wronged you, let me think about the dowry."

The conversation between the father and daughter made him feel a lot of emotion in his heart. After comforting his daughter, he went to Rock's to talk about the marriage.

The Luo family was comparing the list of gifts. The Wen family is not considered a big family, and the dowry seems to be average, but it is acceptable, but Wen Yuke is a good person, a good man.

No matter how dissatisfied I feel in my heart, I can feel relieved when I think of Wen Yuke's promotion speed. In the future, it is possible to worship the prime minister. The new emperor is not a cautious person, and he also values ​​women as officials. This year, several women were selected for reuse. Come on, given time, Wen Yuke's future is limitless.

The gift list is not generous, which is her biggest dissatisfaction.

After Xiao Ming came in, Luo Shi frowned, and pushed the gift list to him: "The Wen family's etiquette is considerate, and I know that the family situation is like this, but I still can't swallow it, how much do you think it's appropriate for us to accompany you. "

Xiao Wenxue is an adopted daughter, so she is reluctant to marry if she has too much dowry, and she can't live without face.

Xiao Mingwang took the gift list and glanced at it, feeling uncertain, and said, "You just have to look at it, Xie Yu is here today, you should understand what she means."

"No, Xie Yu is an uncertain person, and he doesn't know what he thinks about Aning." Luo Shi turned his face and refused to admit it.

Xiao Mingwang put down the gift list, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty is her uncle, and his arms can't twist his thighs, so you'd better accept her."

"You, are you so spineless?" Luo Shi didn't feel angry, her good upbringing allowed her to maintain her own rules, and said in a cold tone: "It's so easy for you to let go of your whole life, and in the future you will let Aning Do it like this."

"Xie Yu has liked Aning since he was a child, and Aning has paid a lot for her. You should understand that Aning is voluntary, otherwise, based on her temperament, she would not come back with Xie Yu." Xiao Mingwang swallowed his anger.

Luo Shi said: "Is liking useful? Can Aning see it clearly? Xiao Mingwang, I don't agree to this marriage. Xie Yu's current situation is embarrassing. I won't let Aning follow her and be looked down upon."

"Luo's." Xiao Mingwang slapped the table and stood up, "This matter is her own decision, and if it gets bad in the future, she will swallow the consequences herself."

"Xiao Mingwang, that's what you think." Luo's eyes turned red.

Xiao Ming felt aggrieved, unwilling to face her, and flung his sleeves away.

After arguing with each other, the couple separated, and Xiao Kunning changed clothes and went to Moxiangzhai.

The business of Hengxiang Pavilion is gradually not as good as before. Gu Ning didn't care about it, so she just followed it. On the contrary, Mo Xiangzhai's business jumped up.

In Chang'an City, it is always the wind and the rudder. When the business is good, many people come here to be famous, even if the price is raised, some people don't care.

Xiao Kunning did not expect such a scene, and asked the shopkeeper to check it and then moved some money out. The shopkeeper did not refuse, but only said that it would be sent to Xiao's residence in a few days.

The business in Moxiang Pavilion is good, almost all the private rooms are full of people, people come and go, which is better than Hengxiang Pavilion in the past.

There was another guest outside the door. She was dressed in a green dress, with long hair hanging down her shoulders. She looked like a tall and straight green bamboo, so firm and indomitable that passers-by couldn't help but take a second look.

When Xiao Kunning came down the stairs, she saw that figure, and she was momentarily surprised. She approached lightly, saluted and said hello: "Lord Wen, how are you lately?"

"Miss Xiao." Wen Yu Ke bowed in salute, his gaze skipped over her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and corners of her lips, and slowly fell on that smile. She smiled and said, "You must have heard of it."

Standing in front of the door, the two were as bright as a peony and as rigid as a green pine. They both had bright faces that attracted many people's attention.

On the opposite side, Xie Yu was playing chess with Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Xie Yu was holding hot tea, and Master Shangshu looked at his defeated chess piece with a sad face, "You bully my old man again, you really don't pay attention to affection at all, no more, no more. "

Xie Yu is wearing a moon-white cloak today, and she will feel bone-piercing coldness in winter. Facing the old Shangshu's annoyance, she smiled lightly: "It's not bullying."

"Let's give up today, have you gone to pay the emperor's peace?" The Minister of Rites dropped the chess piece, looked up at the woman opposite, and said: "The new emperor is not as good as the abolished emperor in handling political affairs. I heard that many things are very difficult. In addition, the old prince is here The mansion did not leave the mansion, and the refusal of all banquets is all guessing that there is a rift between the new emperor and him."

"I don't know the suspicion, but the new emperor thinks about the power of the army, and the foundation is not stable. Although it is good to have many soldiers, we have ignored the important officials in the court. We all understand what the new emperor thinks, and we don't want to say it. In addition, I want to get married Yes, you have to come when the time comes." Xie Yu smiled deeply, and he was completely different from the solemn and honest words in the past, as if wrapped in honey, sweet but not greasy.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was affected by her smile, thinking of the girl from the Xiao family for no reason, and today Xiao Mingwang was engaged to the Wen family, quite proud of it.Isn't it embarrassing that Xie Yu didn't get an official position after he came back, he worried: "Will Xiao Mingwang agree?"

"Promise, promise with all your mouth, agree on the date of marriage, please go for a few visits then." Xie Yu closed his eyes and said nonsense.

"Such a good thing, I will definitely do it for you." The Minister of Rites agreed without thinking, but was really fooled by Xie Yu.

Yu Yin by the window suddenly frowned, and walked to Xie Yu's side: "Sir, Miss Xiao is here, on the opposite side."

Xie Yu got up, poured tea for the Minister of Rites himself, and thanked him: "I will remember your kindness."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The Minister of Rites agreed.

When Xie Yu passed by the window, he glanced casually, and happened to see the backs of Xiao Kunning and Wen Yuke, and they approached Moxiang Pavilion.

The private room was full of guests watching the piano, so Xiao Kunning had no choice but to lead people to the backyard to talk.

The backyard is clean, and the clean environment makes Wen Yuke's heart calm down. Xiao Kunning makes tea, crushes the tea cakes and puts them into boiling water, with a smile on her face, "Xiao Wenxu is a good girl, she has a good heart, you can read more It's a good thing for her to make a false statement come true."

Wen Yuke stared at her slender back, a cheerful breath flowed into his heart, and felt that she was different from before, and Xie Yu had greatly changed her view.

"You still have an obsession with Xie Yu."

The fragrance of tea slowly floated into the nostrils, and the heat was boiling. Xiao Kunning felt relaxed all over her body. Wen Yuke's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, making her wake up immediately.

Is she obsessed with Xie Yu?

Xie Yu is obsessed with her, and it is a deep obsession. He fell into the abyss and never woke up.

Xie Yu was not a wicked person, but was forced to jump into the abyss by his fate.

"Master Wen, treat her well." She chose to avoid talking about it.

Wen Yuke smiled wryly, "She is very good, and her temperament is different from yours. The wildness in your bones makes you unrestrained, but she is trapped in the framework of the rules. The gap between heaven and earth has its own merits. Because of her helplessness."

Xiao Kunning stared at the boiling tea, "Lord Wen, let go of your heart, you will find a lot of beauty, don't stick to one place. Zhao Xiran often said to open your eyes, don't be confused by the things in front of you."

"Yes, don't be fooled by liars."

There was a echo from outside the house, Wen Yuke raised his eyes to see that Xie Yu was standing at the door, ethereal like a fairy, tinged with fireworks in the cold, more like a banished fairy who broke into the world.

"Long time no see, you have become more confident." She whispered ironically.

"Confidence comes from your heart. Master Wen doesn't serve your new emperor, but comes here to find his sister-in-law to talk about his feelings. It's really thoughtful." Xie Yu stepped across the threshold until Wen Yuke was in front of her, and took her Separated from Xiao Kunning, his tone suddenly sank: "It's time to pay attention to proportion."

The text was at a loss for words, especially the phrase 'auntie' made her blush with embarrassment, and immediately bowed and left.

Xiao Kunning looked at Xie Yu dejectedly: "Why bother driving away my guests, who should make the tea for?"

"Can't I drink?" Xie Yu poked her on the forehead dissatisfied, with a cold tone: "I'm not allowed to meet her anymore. If you make up your mind, you should be ready to see her."

"You..." Xiao Kunning was overwhelmed by her unreasonableness, and couldn't explain the reason to Xie Yu, so she simply made the tea and lined up in front of Xie Yu, a dozen or so cups.

"Drink tea, don't leave if you can't finish it, if you don't drink a cup, I will meet Wen Yuke."

The wicked will be tortured by the evil law.
