After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

On the carriage home, Xiao Heng watched Xiao Yansui gently put the teacup that was getting cold in his hand on the small table, then leaned back comfortably, and even stretched out his hand to grab a soft blanket covered the legs.

After a moment of laughing and being speechless, Xiao Heng shook his head and said, "I don't know, when did you become so familiar with Li Tan from the East Palace?"

"It's just been met a few times." Xiao Yansui listened, but just raised her eyelids to look at Xiao Heng, disapproving and casual, and then said as a matter of course: "He also likes quietness."

The two are considered to have similar interests, and they will naturally walk together after meeting.

After Xiao Heng heard this, he showed a noncommittal attitude, obviously not agreeing with Xiao Yansui's statement.

Xiao Yansui doesn't really like to mix in the crowd. After all, even if he has lived here for a long time, the concepts and consciousness cultivated in his previous life cannot be changed. There is a lot of deviation between the things she is interested in and the people around her, so she has not been able to devote herself enthusiastically to the excitement of a group of people talking together.

However, liking the quiet and disliking this kind of excitement doesn't mean that Xiao Yansui just likes to be alone forever.

When going out to play, accompanied by a handsome young man with a gentle and funny personality, it is much more interesting than admiring the apricot blossoms in the cold wind alone, especially at this moment, she has neither a SLR camera nor a mobile phone in her hand, so that, When a person appreciates it alone, the surrounding scenery seems to lose its color.

Xiao Yansui only regarded Li Tan as a fairly close friend before, but she was not very familiar with her. That is, after Li Tan reminded her last time that Princess Wan'an had a problem, the relationship between the two of them was just beginning. Heart-to-heart, however, is still a relationship that ends with words.

However, although Xiao Yansui's principle of making friends is clear to herself, in the eyes of Xiao Heng, Du Erlang or Zhao Junzhuo and others, she has tacitly accepted the friendship between Xiao Yansui and Li Tan almost from the first sight. Very sincere and closely related.

Xiao Yansui didn't think too much about it at all. As a result, when Xiao Heng was almost silent all the way, and the carriage was almost at the gate of the house, he heard him speak unexpectedly, lowered his voice, and reminded very softly but cautiously: "Six Mother, although Li Tan came from the Eastern Palace—but, the position of Prince Li Heng was not so stable and unshakable from the beginning to the end."

In other words, unless the Crown Prince Li Heng really ascended to the Great Treasure in the future, and Li Tan was crowned king as a prince, otherwise, with Li Tan's weak and shallow mother clan, I am afraid that his status will be quite limited in the future.

Especially with the background of Xiao Yansui from the direct line of the Xiao family in Lanling, his grandfather Xiao Song and maternal grandfather Pei Yaoqing who are both prime ministers, and his father and elder brother who will inherit the position of Xu Guogong in the future, Xiao Yansui has everything , are all inevitable, but Li Tan's future is just a variety of possibilities. If the two of them are together, it may not be so easy to say who will win over who in a short time...

Xiao Yansui was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Xiao Heng, "Huh?"

Xiao Heng's voice was lower and lower, and he said to Xiao Yansui almost in a whisper: "How do you know that Li Tan has a close relationship with you, so you really have nothing else to ask for?"

To put it bluntly, with Li Tan's current status, Xiao Heng, the eldest grandson of Xu Guogong's mansion, and his instinct as an older brother, in fact, he has always been somewhat suspicious of Li Tan's purpose of getting close to Xiao Yansui...

Even though Xiao Heng didn't say the following words clearly, after a moment of daze, Xiao Yansui had already recalled it, and she almost looked at Xiao Heng in disbelief.

Xiao Heng just looked into his sister's eyes sincerely, and the two looked at each other. After Xiao Yansui blinked silently, he calmly told him, "I didn't tell him anything."

Before Xiao Heng recalled it, he nodded subconsciously, and said with some relief, "Brother believes in you."

"I'm only 13 years old..." The corner of Xiao Yansui's mouth twitched slightly, looked at Xiao Heng, and reminded him word by word: "Brother, you are already the crown, and you haven't even married yet! Goro is now the age It’s not big, and there’s nowhere to go. Li Tan and I are just friends who get along well. Why do you want to worry so much about my future marriage? It’s at least five or six years later, you Do you really—hate marrying...?"

The shallow smile on Xiao Heng's face finally froze as Xiao Yansui's words fell.

Sitting in the carriage, the two brothers and sisters were still silently looking at each other. Xiao Yansui's eyes were helpless, but his expression was quite calm. He didn't have the slightest bit of shyness when his younger daughter mentioned his future marriage, and his attitude was natural and generous. , and even forced Xiao Heng, who was opposite her, to look more embarrassed.

With a soft "squeak", the carriage entered the gate of Xiao's house and stopped in the courtyard.

Xiao Heng quickly got out of the carriage, and was stared at by Xiao Yansui, who looked calm and calm, almost fled in despair.

With a soft "tsk" in his heart, Xiao Yansui shook his head helplessly, lifted his cloak, got out of the carriage by himself, and walked leisurely towards his yard.

——It is said that the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open, although this is true, and even the upper-class aristocratic women of the Tang Dynasty sometimes act quite unscrupulously.

However, probably due to the limitations of the times, the citizens of the Tang Dynasty at this moment probably still don’t quite understand that men and women, apart from the ambiguous relationship, can actually be friends →_→

After returning to her own yard, Xiao Yansui didn't take what happened just now to heart at all, but Xiao Heng, who was pushed back by his sister calmly, and when they met again, his smile was still a bit embarrassed. Xiao Yansui only found it quite interesting.

As for Xiao Heng and the others, as Jinshi of the new department, in addition to the first flower-exploring banquet in Xingyuan, they will also hold many banquets. After participating in the "Guan Banquet", not to mention that it is difficult for scholars of the same department to be familiar with each other, even the officials of the central government and some officials who like lively banquets can get along well with these new scholars. Familiar.

When Xiao Yansui had nothing to do, he and Xiao Heng also joined in the fun a few times, so that meeting Zhao Junzhuo again seemed to become commonplace.

Apart from the unexpected encounter at the Xinghua Banquet, Xiao Yansui also showed a little surprised look, and after that, Xiao Yansui maintained a normal appearance from beginning to end, so that even his mind was broken several times. Zhao Junzhuo, who was held by her, gradually calmed down with complex and intense emotions.

Once, Xiao Yansui and Xiao Heng met Lu Ji, the grandson of Lu Xiangxian in the Lu family.

Lu Ji's grandmother Lu Mansion He Shi, and Xiao Heng's and Xiao Yansui's grandmother Xu Guogong's wife He Shi are biological sisters from the same mother. In addition, Mr. Lu Xiang and Xiao Song have always had a good friendship. Such a relationship between them can't be called close, but logically speaking, it can't be called far either.

It's just that, because of the hardships of the He family of the Lu family, Xiao Song's angry departure, and later, the He family of the Lu family directly mentioned this matter with her sister, Xu Guogong's wife, He family, but Xiao Song rejected it with a word. The matter of coming back has always made Lu Fan feel guilty and helpless at the same time. Although Lu Ji was a young man at that time, he was also vaguely aware of the embarrassment.

So much so that, after seeing Xiao Heng and Xiao Yansui, who were obviously unaware brothers and sisters, Lu Ji couldn't look at Xiao Yansui's starry eyes at all, and could only look at each other every time. After saying hello, he hurriedly found a reason to avoid it...

Lu Ji's reaction seemed a little weird, but it wasn't out of the ordinary. In addition, although the relationship between the two families was close back then, in addition to the unshakable New Year's etiquette, the daily interactions between guests, especially the younger generation However, the communication was unknowingly reduced a lot. Xiao Heng and Xiao Yansui had a normal relationship with Lu Ji, so naturally they didn't think much about it.

However, since the farewell in Xinghuayu, Xiao Yansui has never met Li Tan again.

There was only one occasion at a banquet where Li Wenning seemed to be traveling with Princess Ningqin. However, Li Wenning himself came and went in such a hurry that he didn't even notice that Xiao Yansui was standing not far away, thinking Looking at her, even the smile on Li Wenning's face seemed to be somewhat forced.

Worried about asking Xiao Heng directly, he, the older brother, couldn't help but think about it. After returning home from the banquet, Xiao Yansui simply went directly to the main courtyard, where he waited for his grandfather Xiao Song to come back.

Mrs. Xu Guogong's wife, the He family's big Buddha, was still firmly enshrined in the main courtyard. As her granddaughter, Xiao Yansui still avoided her place as a matter of course.

When she was young, Xiao Yansui would occasionally visit her with a sullen face. After growing up, perhaps Xiao Yansui and He Shi's disdain for each other over the years has formed a well-known unspoken rule in the Xiao family. Occasionally, when Xiao Yansui came to look for Xiao Song, the maids and servants in the main courtyard would intentionally or unintentionally avoid the two of them running into each other.

As an elder, He's never had a good face when he saw his granddaughter.

Xiao Yansui could sit still, but she had a smile on her face, but her cynicism was even worse than that of He's.

She listened to what He Shi said to her, but she herself would always say a few words out of the blue, and after stabbing He Shi speechless, she went back happily, leaving He Shi alone. One was anxious and angry, but because of Xiao Song's love for Xiao Yansui, there was nothing he could do about her.

——The so-called Zhai Dou is originally a fight that hides the needle in the cotton, and every sentence stabs people to think over and over again after returning home, and their hearts are depressed.

Meeting Xiao Yansui with this mentality is particularly good. On the surface, he is flat-out tit-for-tat, but behind the scenes, he completely ignores the people he hates. Yan Sui was too angry to speak.

The result was good, Xiao Yansui hadn't waited for his grandfather Xiao Song when suddenly a porter came to report that relatives from Lanling's hometown, Xiao Nianru and his party who came to Chang'an City to prepare for marriage had just arrived.
