Uncertain Chang'an

The next day, the news that Emperor Taiping bestowed a marriage on Princess Yongning and the Great General of Zhenbei spread all over the streets and alleys, everyone lamented that indeed a hero deserves a beauty, such unparalleled people, and only each other can be matched, these two people are a long way off. It's just that many young masters and ladies in Beijing who have been looking forward to it have suffered, but in the end they can only look at each other.After handing over all the affairs, Emperor Taiping gave Xiao Wuding half a month's leave to let her recuperate. Last night, the princess drove her directly to the general's mansion. Xiao Wuding was also really tired. After returning to the mansion, he washed and went to bed early. On the second day, I got up early in the morning and went to Wenfu.

Wen Yuan had already ordered to prepare more breakfast for the next day, and as expected, Xiao Wuding came early in the morning, just in time for breakfast.Seeing her coming, Wen Yuan put down the small bowl in his hand, waved to her with a smile, and said, "It's all what you like to eat."

Xiao Wuding walked over and handed the burden to Chen'er who was standing beside him, took the porridge Wen Yuan handed over, looked at the table of delicious food in front of him, and moved his index finger: "Hey, it's better for me, senior sister."

Wen Yuan glanced at the package in Chen'er's hand, and sighed helplessly: "How could I not know you are so stingy? Can't bear the money?"

"That's right, your pile of bottles and jars is enough for half a month's salary, not to mention I'm lazy, so I don't need it." Xiao Wuding was confident and confident, and while eating delicious food, he was thinking, "Senior sister, how much money can I earn?" use?"

Wen Yuan patted her on the head and said angrily: "You cheapskate, do I usually leave you cold or hungry? You are going to marry His Highness and you don't support yourself? Think about your body Rough."

"No! Your junior sister and I are also naturally beautiful!" Xiao Wuding blushed when she said that, even if His Royal Highness is married, he can't take off her clothes, besides, she is also fair and tender!Although not as good as His Highness and Senior Sister... General Xiao, who has always been calm and calm, blushed a little, hummed for a long time, and muttered: "Then I'd better take it back."

"Hmph, take good care of yourself. Look at you, you've lost weight this year. I'll send some of your money to your house later. After all, you have to prepare the bride price to marry His Highness. Although the families of the soldiers who died in battle need compensation , But relying on you alone is a drop in the bucket." Wen Yuan sighed and comforted her: "I know you cherish the lives of soldiers, but casualties are inevitable in wars, and it's not your fault, so don't get into the wrong place again.

"Well, I know, Senior Sister, don't worry, I also asked His Majesty to ask for compensation, but Your Majesty is Your Majesty, I am me, after all, I am a brother who was born and died, and I will feel sorry if I don't help." Xiao Wuding slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, Reassuring Wen Yuan, he smiled again: "However, I would like to ask my senior sister to worry about the dowry."

"The dowry is not a big deal. Master has saved up a dowry for us a long time ago. If I add some more to my dowry, it will be enough for His Royal Highness to make up ten miles of red dowry."

"How can it be done? How can I get my senior sister's dowry? It must be done." Hearing this, Xiao Wuding hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I will not be able to repay you so many treasures in the future, it must be possible." Her senior sister left everything good to her , Even giving the dowry, that's absolutely impossible.

Wen Yuan was still smiling, noncommittal.For some reason, she always feels that she can't meet someone who can make her heart flutter, and it really doesn't matter if she has a dowry, let alone Chengfeng Tower, which is enough for her to prepare for herself.

"It's a pity that Master's whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know if you will come to Beijing during your wedding. But... your mother and concubine are still in the palace..." Wen Yuan was quite a bit nervous when he said this. Looking at her carefully, he saw that she paused, and her left hand holding the chopsticks also froze.

"Why is she still here? You didn't tell me in your letter?!"

"I don't know what your highness said to your majesty, but your majesty ordered that Princess Changsha and the princess should stay in the palace and return to Changsha after your highness gets married. I thought that your highness would tell you so I didn't write it down. I don't want your highness to forget it. A few days ago, I realized that I didn't tell you..."

Before Xiao Wuding spoke again, they suddenly heard familiar footsteps outside, and the two turned their heads to see that it was Zhou Jinhe walking with a smile on his face. "I guess you're here with sister Wen."

"Okay, I'm here to arrest people, and leave quickly after eating, I won't wade into your muddy water." Wen Yuan laughed and joked, Xiao Wuding also restrained his shock, and returned to his usual calm appearance, smilingly said: "Come on Senior Sister has breakfast here, I wonder if I can go to His Highness for lunch later?"

"General Xiao has just returned to Beijing and has been eating and drinking everywhere. If you don't know it, you think I have wronged you with my salary." Zhou Jinhe gave her a look with a smile, but suddenly saw her left hand holding chopsticks, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked : "Why is the general actually left-handed?"

"Oh, back then I couldn't even practice the left-handed swordsmanship well, so my master asked me to practice holding chopsticks with my left hand, and now I use it occasionally." Xiao Wuding explained with the same smile on his face as if nothing had happened.

Wen Yuan said something bad in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, can you have breakfast? Why don't you use some together?"

Zhou Jinhe sat down with a smile on his face, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: Why did he eat with her so many times without seeing her use her left hand, but why did he see her in this sudden attack?

The spring is bright outside, the warm wind is blowing in early March, the trees are sprouting new buds, and the birds are singing and full of vitality.The sky is blue, with large white clouds floating far away like cotton, and the sun is shining gently on everything on the earth, making people feel refreshed.Zhou Jinhe came to Wen's mansion not just to catch Xiao Wuding, but to wake up early and see the weather outside was so good, thinking of what he promised Duan Changning a few days ago, and thinking that Xiao Wuding was busy yesterday and couldn't see Wen Yuan, so today must be a big day I had to come to Wen Mansion earlier, so I thought of stopping by.

"A few days ago, Ning'er told me that he wanted to go out in spring. I saw that the weather is just right today, and General Xiao is back. Why don't we go together today?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wuding and Wen Yuan looked at each other, Wen Yuan responded with a smile: "Alright, I haven't seen Ning'er for quite a while, the little girl must be bored after staying in the palace for so long. "

"I just found out after listening to my senior sister, why didn't Princess Changsha and Princess Princess return to the fief with King Changsha?" Xiao Wuding put down his chopsticks, took a sip from the teacup, turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Auntie...has her difficulties. She doesn't really love the King of Changsha. She has been suffering in Changsha these years. I asked her a few days before the King of Changsha left Beijing. She said she didn't want to go back. The royal father used some tricks, and the royal father kept her and Ning'er as hostages." Zhou Jinhe sighed lightly, thinking of Chang'an again, only to realize that she still had a lot of things to say to Xiao Wuding, paused for a while, and looked up. Looking at her, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said: "There are many things, I will talk to you slowly when I have time, okay?"

Xiao Wuding's heart skipped a beat when she saw her, the tenderness and slight sadness in her eyes made her very reluctant to hold her in his arms. His Highness said this because he wanted to be honest with her and tell her past one by one. Saying that he knew her, Xiao Wuding was looking forward to, but also afraid of this day.His Highness treats her frankly, but she wants to deceive His Highness with more lies... Although there are many twists and turns in his heart, Xiao Wuding's face is still calm, and he holds her hand gently with a gentle expression. , smiled and said: "Okay, I will wait for Your Highness."

Although this scene is touching, Wen Yuan knew that her junior sister's heart must be cut like a knife. She sighed in her heart and felt sorry for the two people, so she quickly joked: "Come on, you two, in front of me, a lonely family, love each other, go, go, go back to you." to the princess mansion."

Hearing this, Zhou Jinhe smiled, and said: "I don't know how many young masters outside are waiting to see Sister Wen, but Sister Wen has a high vision, so she doesn't even look at it, but it's true, those people are naturally not worthy of my Sister Wen."

"Back then there was a young master who wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house. I have been waiting for it. I don't want that young master to marry someone else now." As he spoke, Wen Yuan cast a sad look at Zhou Jinhe, and said, "When you meet someone who is not kind, I only want to be a young man." The Deng Gu Buddha is gone, but he is still alive."

This was a joke made by Zhou Jinhe during the autumn tour back then. The two people present laughed when they heard the words, and Zhou Jinhe even said angrily: "I don't want to recite this pot. It's clear that Sister Wen is picky and doesn't want to meet people, otherwise you two masters come here If you want to blame me for ruining her beloved apprentice's lifelong event, I can't bear the crime."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, then Zhou Jinhe sent someone to pick up Gu Nanxu and Duan Changning from the palace, and ordered people to prepare food and drink, and the group went out of the city.Gu Nanxu and Duan Changning went to the suburbs a few steps first. Duan Changning, who had been bored in the palace for more than half a month, was finally able to come out. At this time, like a canary in a cage, it finally broke free from its shackles and returned to the sky. As she ran, Gu Nanxu didn't hold her back, she just asked people to pay attention not to fall, and she watched from the sidelines. Compared with the joy of going out to the palace, her heart was more excited and apprehensive about seeing Xiao Wuding.

When the three of them got out of the carriage, they saw a little girl dressed in pink jumping around like a fish in water, complementing the emerald green everywhere, it was really beautiful.No matter how unwilling she is, in front of people, Xiao Wuding always has to put on a warm and cheerful look. She looks at the cheerful running villain and the noble and elegant back sitting beside her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and follows Zhou Jinhe and Zhou Jinhe. Wen Yuan walked forward, but secretly clenched his fists.

The child was at the age of growth at this time. Compared with a year ago, Duan Changning grew a lot taller, and his facial features opened up a bit. He was more and more similar to Gu Nanxu, but his temper hadn't changed at all. Seeing the three of them, they ran straight over, threw themselves into Wen Yuan's arms and called Sister Wen sweetly, then said hello to Zhou Jinhe, and finally came to Xiao Wuding with a smile, and said: "Congratulations to General Xiao on his triumphant return, and I still want to hug you well." Beauty returns!"

The corner of Xiao Wuding's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Thank you Princess."

On the other hand, Zhou Jinhe reached out and tapped her forehead, and said with a helpless smile, "You ghost, you can talk."

"Hee hee hee, that's it." The little girl straightened her back, confidently.

Gu Nanxu stood a little far away, looking at this side, and took advantage of the gap between their conversations to carefully look at Xiao Wuding. Seeing that although she was thinner, she was full of energy, she was relieved, and lowered her head to hide her reddish eyes. .A few people came over to greet Gu Nanxu very quickly, because Zhou Jinhe was here, Xiao Wuding was informal, it took a lot of effort to make himself behave as usual, Duan Changning quickly dragged Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding away Going to play made Gu Nanxu and Xiao Wuding both heave a sigh of relief.

Wen Yuan was by Gu Nanxu's side, seeing her staring at Xiao Wuding in the distance, sighed softly, and asked: "Princess, now that A Xiao is back, you and Ning'er are also in the capital, why don't you tell her the truth? In this way, you will feel uncomfortable, and she will also feel uncomfortable, and it hurts me to see it."

What Wen Yuan said made Gu Nanxu's heart move. She turned her head to look at Wen Yuan, with rare excitement, and asked: "Is it possible? She gets along with Jin'er like this, and Jin'er is so smart. But her eyes."

This is indeed the biggest concern.With Xiao Wuding's affectionate temperament, knowing that her mother and concubine did not betray her father and king, but endured the humiliation for so many years, and he blamed her for so long, he must be deeply regretful. When we get along again in the future, won't the inadvertent mother-daughter friendship between the two make His Highness suspicious again?

Hearing this, Wen Yuan lowered his head and sighed softly, but was speechless for a while.Seeing her like this, Gu Nanxu smiled instead, patted her lightly, and comforted her: "Wait a minute, nine years have passed, we can't give up all our previous efforts."
