The emperor's heart alone

Xu Yunjin's inexplicable kindness made Yu Zhaoming fidget, he said a few words hastily, Xu Yunjin let him go, Shi Junji turned to look at Xu Yunjin, was about to ask something, but was stopped by Xu Yunjin: "I am free, don't worry, Yu Zhaoming is really a good person."

Shi Jun nodded knowingly, and the two rested in the private room for a while before getting up and going back to Xu's residence.

Every time Shi Junji came to Xu's Mansion, most of the time he sneaked in over the wall while the black people were still at night. If he came to Xu's Mansion during the day, he always let in through the back door and never walked through the gate of Xu's Mansion. .But Xu Yunjin brought Shi Junji to the gate of Xu Mansion, Xu Yunjin's footsteps paused: "Go in?"

Shi Junji didn't hesitate at all: "Okay."

Xu Yunjin seemed to be very satisfied, and he didn't go in by himself, but stood at the same level as Shi Junji, and walked into the gate of Xu Mansion together with Shi Junji. They all lowered their heads, pretending not to see the scene in front of them.

When he actually entered Xu's mansion, the smile on Xu Yunjin's face became stronger, and he was about to say something to Shi Junji, but saw a sedan chair stopped outside the gate, Xu Yunjin restrained his smile: "You go to my yard first, I'll be back in a while." He signaled Qingpei to take Shi Junji in.Shi Junji also saw the sedan chair parked at the gate, raised his eyebrows, and finally followed Qingpei away.

It was Xu Yunting who came back.

The Imperial Academy has been very quiet recently, Xu Yunting is a rookie in recent years, he is very favored and valued by the emperor, those trivial matters and things that are excluded naturally cannot be dealt with by Xu Yunting, so in the afternoon, there is nothing in his hands What happened, Xu Yunting returned to the Xu Mansion early, this is also the practice of the Daping Dynasty, officials can go home as long as they finish their work.

Xu Yunting stepped into the gate, and saw Xu Yunjin with a smile on his face, he was a little surprised: "Did you stay here to wait for me?" It was only a minute or two, Shi Junji didn't go far, Xu Yunting saw it at a glance Shi Junji and his party, who were walking towards Xu Yunjin's yard, stared at the backs of those people, no, it should be said that they were mainly staring at Shi Junji's backs, Xu Yunting was a little puzzled, "Who is that? The backs look familiar very."

"Does it look familiar?" Xu Yunjin asked slowly, "Often?"

Xu Yunting thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't remember who that figure was. In fact, it was easy to understand. Although Xu Yunting was highly regarded by the current emperor, he didn't see the emperor face to face very often. It is because he retreated first and Shi Junji stayed where he was most of the time. In most cases, he had more chances to see the emperor in the early court, and it was not possible to see the emperor's back in the early court. I never thought that I would see Shi Junji here, so naturally I didn't think about that, so I just looked at the familiar figure from the back, but didn't know who that person was: "I don't remember." He woke up suddenly again , "That person should have come back with you, why did you ask me who that person is?"

Xu Yunjin's expressionless face just now seemed to have never happened, and now he regained his smile: "I said, brother, your memory is too bad, that person is Su Xiyin, brother, you don't know me Him?"

"Really?" Xu Yunting was a little suspicious. Is that person Su Shao?After thinking about it for a while, there was no result, so fortunately, I stopped thinking, "By the way, if you don't go in together, why don't you stay here and find something for me?"

"It's what you told me about Sanmei and Xiang Yi."

Xu Yunting's eyes lit up: "Oh? You have a solution?"

"There will be a result in just a few days. I think you will be satisfied, big brother." Xu Yunjin winked at Xu Yunting, "Let's go to the study."

Xu Yunting nodded slightly, knowing that Xu Yunjin had something to say to him.

Most of the people in the Xu Mansion are members of the Xu family, some of them came here to reassure others, but they don't have much power in the Xu Mansion or are not arranged around the masters.When they got to the study, Xu Yunting and Xu Yunjin were talking inside, and Xu Yunting's young man was watching outside, so there was no need to worry that what he said would be heard by others.

"Third sister is not young anymore, it's time to talk about marriage, betrothed to a good family." Xu Yunjin stated his purpose as soon as he opened his mouth, but Xu Yunting was surprised.

"The third sister is waiting for the election, and she will participate in the draft two years later. How can she be betrothed to someone else's family?"

Xu Yunjin sneered from the bottom of his heart, if what he guessed in his heart was the truth, how could Sanmei choose any show?Even if he tries his best to disobey the emperor's order and marry the third sister directly, no one will do anything to him.

No matter what Xu Yunjin was thinking, he couldn't tell Xu Yunting directly: "Brother, I know that the third sister is going to participate in the draft, but is it possible that we really want to send the third sister to the palace? Not to mention sending the third sister to the palace." Here, even if we are the main wife and concubine of some kind of prince, we don't want to serve us, our Xu family is already prominent enough, we don't need Sanmei to help us, excessive power is not good for us."

Xu Yunting smiled wryly: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am willing to let the third sister enter the palace. Don't I know who the third sister is? Over the years, although I have restrained my temper, the essence has not changed. Our Xu family's family status is enough for the third sister to enter the palace or follow some prince, but if she really enters the palace or becomes the prince's wife and concubine, I am afraid that the third sister's strong temper will cause something, and the Xu family will also be hurt. That's all, she is a woman after all, she must suffer in the inner courtyard, how can I be willing?" He said again, "What exactly do you think, let's talk about it, and there is no need to hide it, we The two are brothers, what else can't be said?"

"Since you have said so, elder brother, I will not hide anything, and I will tell you what I think." Xu Yunjin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "I was thinking, although the matter of the third sister's draft We can't do anything about it, but we can still manipulate it. We can do it if we are eliminated in the primary election. Although it will damage the third sister's reputation, it is better than letting the third sister fall into an even more embarrassing situation. Marry a daughter High marriage, our Xu family doesn't need it. Wouldn't it be better to choose someone who is self-motivated, has potential, has a simple family background and has just entered the official career? At that time, depending on your status as father and eldest brother, and my wealth, Are you afraid that that person will treat Sanmei badly?"

But Xu Yunting heard a bit of knowledge from it, and couldn't help asking amusedly: "Hearing that you said it in such detail, is there someone who can choose?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from my elder brother." Xu Yunjin also laughed, "There is indeed someone to choose. I wonder if my elder brother has heard of Yu Zhaoming?"

"Yu Zhaoming?" Xu Yunting showed a dazed expression on his face, and then nodded, "I've heard about it, but I haven't seen it before."

"It's just a coincidence. I just met him today and said a few words. As for the family background, I also asked people to check it, and it was unexpectedly satisfactory. Of course, Xiang Yi's family background It’s far worse than the comparison, but such a talent is better to control, isn’t it?”

Xu Yunting hesitated: "That's good, I'm afraid that because of this, Yu Zhaoming has a bad heart. After all, he is a majestic man, relying on our Xu family to get up, and being imprisoned by our Xu family, I think there will be no lumps in his heart."

Xu Yunjin sneered: "It's not like he's going to say it in the open, and if he wants to stand up for himself, there's no need for our Xu family to stand up for him, right?" He slowed down again, "Is two years long or not? Well, to be short is not short, but it is enough for us to make plans for the third sister. Only one out of ten people can be selected in the draft, and the rest will start busy with their marriages as soon as they leave the palace. Couldn't find anything better."

Seemingly moved by Xu Yunjin's words, Xu Yunting pondered for a moment: "Okay, I will do as you say."

Xu Yunjin was satisfied: "Success, I can't talk to dad about this matter, so I'll leave it to you, elder brother, and I have to talk to dad too." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Xu Yunting suddenly said: "You will be eighteen in two years, and it's time to choose a good wife for you. In this way, don't just worry about the third sister's affairs, your affairs will also be dealt with with the third sister's affairs, By the way, isn't mother familiar with other wives? Let mother help you notice that the daughter of our Xu family doesn't want to enter the palace, and there are many people who are on the same level as our family have this idea. It's time to make a secret calculation. By the way, your sister-in-law also knows a lot of ladies, and let her help you find out. Although you don't have any fame, you are the second son of my Xu family after all. Neither father nor I will see you being bullied, and you are very rich, plus our Xu family has a rule of only marrying one official wife, do you worry about no one marrying you? When you are eighteen, you will be married. After making an engagement, we will get married as soon as the weak crown is full, and the parents have been waiting for a long time to hold their grandchildren."

Xu Yunjin's expression froze, and Xu Yunting, who was muttering, didn't pay attention: "Brother, let's talk about this later, isn't it still a few years? If parents want to hug their grandchildren, let them hug Xu Zhi and Xu Yue." , isn’t that also their grandchildren? Why wait for me.”

"You have also said for two years whether it is long or short, so naturally you have to get your affairs in order quickly." Xu Yunting also told Xu Yunjin bluntly, "Xu Zhi and Xu Yue are indeed parents. Your granddaughter and grandson, but my parents want to hug your child, so I can’t help it, can’t I? You have to get married early and give your parents more grandchildren, so that your parents can let you go.”

Xu Yunjin knew in his heart that according to his age, the marriage should have been settled long ago and only waiting for marriage, but because of what the abbot of Zhenjue Temple said, Xu Tao and Xu Jia have been reluctant to arrange the marriage for Xu Yunjin Now that Xu Yunjin's weak crown is getting closer and closer, not only Xu Tao and Xu Jia's have become active, but even Xu Yunting is also thinking about it.

Xu Yunjin reluctantly said: "Okay, brother, let's talk about this later, and later, that Young Master Su is still waiting for me, so I'll go first."

Xu Yunjin's back view can be regarded as running away, Xu Yunting shook his head helplessly, and didn't take Xu Yunjin's refusal to heart, only thinking about who has the right ones, of the right age, secretly going to be active, but also thinking about it After talking to Xu Jiashi for a while, after deliberation, he went directly to Xu Jiashi.
