Thinking of Jiang Muyu, Xiao Xiao felt guilty for some reason, so she curled her lips like a cover-up: "Hmph, he hasn't even sent a message after he's been away for so many days, so he should really talk about it!"

Liu Kaize didn't even look at him. Instead, he flipped through the posts and said eccentrically, "That's right, Hu Min, the old fox's daughter, has been captured by you. You really have the ability..."

Xiao Xiao's cheeks were burning hot from what he said, and she wanted to snatch the post from his hand, but she couldn't keep up with Liu Kaize's reaction speed, so she was in vain.Liu Kaize flew to the top of the tree in the yard with a little tiptoe, and then looked at Xiao Xiao triumphantly: "If the foolish apprentice trains for decades, he will not be faster than the old man, just because you want to snatch it from me." thing?"

"Is it okay if I don't snatch it?" Xiao Xiao sighed, "Since you are so interested, help me find out who owns these handkerchiefs, so I can send them back when the time comes."

Liu Kaize's face wrinkled all of a sudden, you know he hates reading the most.So when Xiao Xiao said this, he flew down from the tree, and then threw the post sent by the matchmaker to

In Xiao Xiao's arms.But after all, he was holding his breath, so he squinted at Xiao Xiao: "Really don't think about it anymore? You know, if you marry Miss Hu, you will become a success in a day, and at least you can be a third-rank official!"

"If I wanted to be an official so much, I would have gone to the Ministry of Industry a long time ago." Xiao Xiao picked up a handkerchief and began to search for the names on the post, "Besides, what's the point of being an official from my mother's family? Belittled by my colleagues, despised by my father-in-law when I go home, no matter how beautiful I was before I married my wife, how I was praised for my talents, after marrying this young lady of the high family, I will be a soft food."

"You can figure it out!"

A person suddenly appeared at the gate of the yard, smiling and looking at Xiao Xiao.Then he walked quickly to Xiao Xiao's side, frowned slightly when he saw the handkerchiefs all over the table, and then pretended to push them aside inadvertently.

"Let Qiuyan do this kind of thing." Liu Ziming was also happy when he saw the smile on Xiao Xiao's face, and gently but forcefully took the pen from his hand and handed it to Qiuyan who was behind Xiao Xiao, "Come here today." It’s to tell you good news, Xiangcheng has been guarded!”

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened all of a sudden.

Half a month ago, Xiao Xiao's song "Man Jianghong" was transmitted to Ancheng along with "Difficult Collection", and then was taken to Xiangcheng by the people who delivered the supplies.The magistrate is good at writing, and when he heard that it was Mr. Xiao Xiao's latest work, it should be praised in the city. Suddenly, even a three-year-old in Xiangcheng was proud of being able to recite "Man Jianghong".Perhaps this impassioned patriotic poem brought courage to the soldiers. After this poem, in the first battle with the grassland army, Xiangcheng defeated 3 enemy troops with only [-] people, and the morale was even higher. .After several small battles, the Prairie Army with insufficient supplies was finally completely repelled on a sunny day. The Xiangcheng Army captured two lieutenants and nearly [-] soldiers.

Even if Du Dudang asked people to hurry up and send the news to Wangcheng, four horses ran to death, and it was delivered to the emperor in seven days.When the victory report arrived, it happened to be the time of the next court. The emperor was discussing with Liu Ziming in the imperial study room whether to pave the Wangcheng with concrete roads like Ancheng, and suddenly such a surprise came.Naturally, the emperor was not in the mood to continue talking about building roads. After waving Liu Ziming to go out, he began to think about how to reward him.As soon as Liu Ziming came out, he slipped out of the palace to find Xiao Xiao to tell the good news, and by the way, learn about Xiao Xiao's love affair that has been widely spread recently——

"Then Jiang Muyu should be back?" Xiao Xiao was so excited that he was a little incoherent, "Does he know that I am in Wangcheng? What if he goes back and finds that there is only a little ink left in the yard?... If there is something wrong, I will definitely tell him. But how did he get to the royal city?"

Although Liu Ziming felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiao Xiao so excited, he still comforted him: "I have told Hong Zhifu that he will send someone to send Mr. Jiang to Wangcheng."

"He can reach Wangcheng in three days with light work, and still needs your concern?" Liu Kaize rolled his eyes, "I think you'd better get rid of these women first, otherwise I'll see what you do when he comes back!"

Xiao Xiao suddenly calmed down like being poured a bucket of cold water.But this kind of calmness is not like the calmness of lying on the bed after a busy day, but the calmness of going into the boss's office after a work mistake, so Xiao Xiao laughed a few times and scratched her nose in embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ziming finally found a chance to ask what happened, so he said, "I heard that all the ladies in Wangcheng are not married to Xiao Xiao, and they all say they have an appointment with you." ... I didn't know that Xiao Xiao, you are such a romantic and affectionate person."

"What an appointment!" Xiao Xiao jumped up from the stone bench in a hurry when he felt the death ray fired by Liu Kaize towards him, and he hurriedly explained: "How did I know that this handkerchief can't be taken away casually! If I knew, I would If you don't go to class, you have to catch up with the maids!"

"So that's how it is," Liu Ziming nodded thoughtfully, "But there's no need to worry too much. The ladies in Wangcheng have always been like this. Any upstart will give handkerchiefs to express their hearts. In fact, they just want to win over if they don't get married. That's all."

Xiao Xiao sat down again suspiciously: "Is that so?"

Liu Ziming nodded: "Otherwise, how could those aristocratic families who value face more than life allow the ladies to act so unreservedly?"

Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while and felt that what Liu Ziming said seemed to make sense, just like the modern dignitaries, who didn't cultivate their daughters in a noble and elegant direction?After all, the common people are watching their every move. If they make a mistake in their family history, they will be investigated. If they make some mistakes, it will hurt the family at least.

"That's the reason, but if you don't deal with it, the whole city will tell you that you are a great talent and proud of your talent, and even a young lady will look down on you!" Liu Kaize held the opposite view.Xiao Xiao is now a figure on the cusp no matter what, it is good to have less black spots, otherwise she may become a knife stabbing herself in the future.

Xiao Xiao became even more entangled, and after thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't help it, if it's really impossible, just tell me that I'm married to Jiang Muyu..."

"I heard that Dr. Xiao met another person who is said to have solved the literary part of "Puzzle Collection" yesterday," a burly man with beards pretended to be mysterious, "and guess what? Come out of the Imperial College!"

The teahouse is always lively, especially in Dongshi, where the princes and brothers who come to other cities and the people who go down to the streets, this teahouse is the best place for them to communicate and obtain information.Fresh news about Wangcheng emerges endlessly, but there are only a few characters, and the most recent one is Xiao Xiao.I don't know if it's due to Zuixianlou's poems, or to the storytellers. In short, Xiao Xiao is known to everyone in Wangcheng. If anyone says he doesn't know, then he must be from a remote village. This is definitely not running.No, someone finally discovered something new about Xiao Xiao, and hurried to the teahouse to share it with everyone, thinking that maybe he could earn a cup of tea.

"How long ago was this!" A scholar said disdainfully, "The latest news, Hu Shangshu's second lady also gave Dr. Xiao a handkerchief!"

Everyone quickly moved from the big man to the scholar.

"What's the latest news!" Another black and thin boy said with bright eyes, "I heard from my uncle this morning that Dr. Xiao has already married!"

Everyone in the teahouse was in an uproar, and then surrounded the black and skinny boy, saying in a hurry: "How is it possible? Then how dare he take the handkerchief?"

"Is he fifteen? He doesn't look like a married man!"

"Who is your uncle?"

When the scholar saw that the people around him had run away, he slapped the table angrily and asked repeatedly: "Your uncle's words are credible? What evidence do you have that Dr. Xiao is married? Don't slander him!"

Everyone was skeptical at first, and naturally felt that the scholar's question was very reasonable, so they looked at the black and thin boy suspiciously.

"Of course it's true!" The black skinny boy's triangular eyes widened suddenly, "My uncle is the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, so what he said could be false?"

However, although the black skinny boy said so, he couldn't produce any evidence to prove that what he said was true, so he could only leave the teahouse with hatred.The scholar complacently continued to talk about how Hu Shangshu's second lady gave the handkerchief to Dr. Xiao shyly and timidly, but at this moment another person rushed into the teahouse and shouted loudly as if he had discovered some shocking secret: "Dr. Xiao Already married, and married to a man!"

At this moment, the people in the teahouse could not sit still, they all surrounded the man in shock, asking how Dr. Xiao got married to the man.

"You don't know, this is what my uncle who is a doctor in the Imperial College Hongwen Museum said," the man took a cup of tea handed by someone, and drank it up, then walked to a table surrounded by everyone and sat down , "And I also went to ask the people from Ancheng, it turns out that Dr. Xiao has already married!"

"Dr. Xiao took over the handkerchief because the customs of Ancheng and our Wangcheng are different. The women there don't necessarily express their love by giving handkerchiefs, just like Dr. Xiao who walked down the street after he proposed the fingering method to prevent the epidemic. The woman in Ancheng would give him a handkerchief, just to express her admiration and gratitude." The man looked at everyone's different expressions and continued.

"Who wants to hear this!" Someone said eagerly, dissatisfied, "What we want to hear is how Dr. Xiao married a man!"

"That's it!" Some people echoed.

"That would be a long story," the man scratched his head, "It's actually like this..."
