The emperor's heart alone

On the way back to the courtyard, Xu Yunjin's face remained solemn. He was already seventy-eight percent sure of Shi Junji's identity. Leaving aside the rest, if Shi Junji knew that he was going to get married, he would When my interest is still there, I think I will definitely not agree, and it is even more likely that it will be disadvantageous to the Xu Mansion.

In Xu Yunjin's heart, family is the most important thing. Shi Junji is not unimportant, but he is still behind his family. Maybe after many, many years, he and Shi Junji have been together, and this love has not disappeared. At that time, Shi Jun will most likely be more important than everyone else, even more important than himself, but it's still far from that level now.

Emotions also need time to heat up. The position they are in is destined to be impossible to love vigorously and without scruples. Time flies. After ten or twenty years, they are still together and become each other's salvation. Only at that time did he truly regard the other party as his own life.

It's not that smart people don't know how to love, they just find out when their relationship first sprouts, and after weighing the gains and losses, some people choose to keep going, and some choose to give up. Giving up doesn't mean cowardice.

Xu Yunjin struggled, repeatedly thinking about Shi Junji in his heart, constantly thinking about how much he could do for Shi Junji, and how much Shi Junji could do for him, and his feelings seemed to be in this kind of thinking Xu Yunjin felt warm in his heart when he thought of Shi Junji now. As a businessman, Xu Yunjin didn't go through any big twists and turns, but he had met quite a few people. It's not enough to lose sight of a man who has no commitment, it seems that he can go on in this relationship forever.

Xu Yunjin, who was in deep thought, returned to the courtyard. Shi Junji was not in the house, but guarded the courtyard. As soon as Xu Yunjin entered the courtyard, he saw Shi Junji.

Before the expression on his face could change, Shi Junji saw the seriousness on Xu Yunjin's face at a glance, and when Xu Yunjin walked in front of him, Shi Junji said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yunjin shook his head: "Why didn't you go in?"

"There's nothing in it, it's very boring, I thought about it and waited for you here." Shi Junji said, "Your elder brother came back just now?"

"En." Xu Yunjin bypassed Shi Junji, "Let's go in and talk about it."

But it was afternoon, and it was still very bright outside. When the two entered the room, there was already brewed tea on the table. Xu Yunjin poured two cups casually: "You should know my elder brother too, right now my elder brother is very respected. You should have seen each other in court." Xu Yunjin handed Shi Junji a cup of tea, thinking thoughtfully, "Maybe I also met in private."

Shi Junji took the teacup from Xu Yunjin's hand, did not drink it, but raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Xu Yunjin suddenly raised his head to look at Shi Junji, seeing Shi Junji's expression of interest, he was silent for a while, before Xu Yunjin said: "If you don't want to say it, of course I won't force it."

Shi Junji shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that you don't want to listen at all. When you want to hear it, I will naturally tell you."

Xu Yunjin snorted coldly: "You have time to come out today, I think you have left a lot of things unfinished, right? Don't stay here with me, go back quickly."

After Shi Junji received the news that Xu Yunjin was in Huancai Pavilion, he left the palace and went straight to Huancai Pavilion. It is true that there are still many things to do, and they are all thrown in the palace. Those memorials and other things cannot be taken out for review. , Shi Junji must go back.Shi Junji thought for a while: "Then I'll come back when I'm done."

"No need." Xu Yunjin replied, "I won't go to Huancai Pavilion, I will stay at home tonight. You don't need to rush to do things, just rest assured."

Shi Junji agreed, and the two talked for a while. Seeing that Xu Yunjin was a little sleepy, Shi Junji left Xu's mansion and went back to the palace.

Su Shao's actions were very fast. Not long after discussing Xiang Yi's matter with Xu Yunjin, Xiang Yiping had already known about Xiang Yi's hiding a maid outside. There were even several friends of Xiang Yiping present at the time. Then there was Xu Tao.Fortunately, these few people are all Xiang Yiping's true friends, even if they know Xiang Yi's ridiculous things, they will sigh twice in front of their own family members, and will not go outside to talk nonsense.

Isn't it just a ridiculous thing, or a scandal.The Xiang family is different from other families. It is normal for a family with similar status to the Xiang family to have three wives and four concubines. Even if they secretly raise a maid and a concubine outside, it is nothing if they have children. Outsiders can at most say that this man is romantic, but the Xiang family is different. The Xiang family is also famous for being monogamous like the Xu family. Concubine's.Perhaps this kind of thing was just a habit in the family at first, but later it evolved into something that must be observed in this family.

As for what Xiang Yi is doing now, if it is really spread out, it will not be a problem that can be solved with a few words.It's not a big deal for a romantic person who has three wives and four concubines, but people are strange, so it's strange here. If a bad person does a good thing, people will say that he has a good conscience. If a good person does a bad thing, No matter how big or small this matter is, people will say that this person is a hypocrite. Isn't Xiang Yi now caught in such a matter.Monogamy is good, but suddenly one day this man has another woman. For this man, he has made a big mistake.

It’s fine if Xiang Yi is already married. After all, separation and reunion were not uncommon in the Daping Dynasty, but most people would not choose such a path, especially women. Before they are married, they are naturally raised by their parents and brothers. When they get married, they are husbands. If the people in the family are really separated, not all of them are willing to take such a woman home, and they don't have any skills, they can't support themselves, and life is not easy.So if something like this happened to Xiang Yi after he got married, it would just be a bad reputation, but his wife would not separate from him.

It's just that Xiang Yi hasn't married yet, and there is no one who has even made a marriage contract. This means that once this matter spreads in the capital, Xiang Yi will never have a good marriage. In this era, For a family like the Xiang family, a good marriage is more important than imagined.

When Xiang Yiping found out about this matter, he hurried back to deal with it. The rest of the people sat for a while and dispersed one by one. They would not publicize this matter, but Xiang Yi should not want to talk to these people at home. daughter married.

Xu Tao wandered home just in time for dinner, they just drank some tea, not a meal, so Xu Tao still appeared in the dining room.

When Xu Tao saw Xu Yunjin appearing at the dinner table, the smile on his face sank immediately, and he began to blow his beard and stare: "You still know how to go home for dinner! I thought you brought something from Huancai Pavilion or something It's home now!"

Xu Yunjin squinted his eyes and ate the five-spice pigeon in front of him, pretending not to hear Xu Tao's words.

Xu Tao was about to roar immediately, and Xu Jia quickly grabbed Xu Tao's arm: "Master, what are you talking about, Yun Jin usually eats in Xu's residence, but he always eats in his own residence. That's all, it's worth your temper?"

As long as Xu Jiashi opened his mouth, Xu Tao would basically not embarrass Xu Yunjin, and it was the same this time. Xu Tao suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down and began to eat, and sighed as he used it.

Xu Jiashi was busy picking food for Xu Yunjin, Xu Yunjin was busy eating, Xu Yunting and Shao Peilan even took a bite and I looked at you, Xu Yunqin obediently lowered his head and just stared at his rice bowl, Xu Yue's meal was finished On the face, Xu Zhi hurriedly wiped Xu Yue's face and whispered to Xu Yue to eat well, but no one at the table noticed Xu Tao's sigh.

Xu Tao sighed again.

Xu Yunjin also brought food for Xu Jiashi, Xu Jiashi couldn't stop smiling, and talked to Xu Yunjin in a low voice, Xu Yunting and Shao Peilan continued to take a bite and you looked at me, Xu Yunqin's eating speed slowed down, It was obvious that the food was almost ready, so Xu Yue flattered Xu Zhi with vegetables, so as to save Xu Zhi from getting angry because she didn't eat well.

Xu Tao got angry and slammed the chopsticks on the table with a bang.

Everyone at the table was taken aback and went to look at Xu Tao one after another. Xu Yunjin said lazily, "Father, it's because of your temper that you're the only one who sits in the position of Grand Scholars. Zong bless you."

Xu Jia hurriedly said: "Yun Jin, don't say a few words." Then he went to look at Xu Tao, "Master, what's the matter? Could it be that the food didn't suit your appetite?"

Xu Tao hummed and cleared his throat: "Didn't you hear me sighing just now?"

Everyone nodded in unison, and Xu Tao was even annoyed: "Then why don't you ask me what's wrong?"

Xu Yunting said: "Father, if you have something to say, just say it, we are all listening."

Xu Tao was still not very satisfied with this effect, but seeing that everyone was lacking in interest, Xu Tao had no choice but to say directly: "You know Xiang Yi, right?"

Xu Yunjin's first reaction was to look at Xu Yunqin, and sure enough, he saw Xu Yunqin tremble, Xu Yunjin went to look at Xu Yunting again, and happened to meet Xu Yunting's eyes, and both of them were concerned.

"I know, isn't he the only son of your good friend Mr. Xiang?" Xu Jiashi interjected, "I remember that he got a good result in the provincial examination."

"That's right, it's him." Xu Tao nodded and sighed again, "I just went out to drink tea with Brother Yiping and a few people today, and I didn't expect to hear the scandal related to Xiang Yi. Let’s go back and deal with things, and we’ll be back.”

"Scandal? What scandal?" Xu Yunqin suddenly made a sound, but Xu Tao looked sideways, and found that Xu Yunqin asked, Xu Tao was a little unhappy, "Yunqin, Dad told you many times, You are a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, you should pay attention to your image, how can you ask a man about something casually?"

Well, this is the reason why Xu Yunqin usually doesn't speak at the dinner table, even if he rarely speaks. Xu Tao always feels that a woman should look like a woman. It was fine when she was a child, but now that she is about to grow up, it is not as good as It was like before, so she always told Xu Yunqin to make her a lady. As time passed, Xu Yunqin stopped talking in front of Xu Tao, after all, less talk and less mistakes.
