Women dressed as men: powerful officials

The carriage was moving in the busy city, its wheels shaking.

Beiyao took out a fan from somewhere and made a wish while looking at it.

Xuyuan suddenly remembered: "That was when we first met."

At that time, she went into the desert alone for the city defense map, but was stopped by Bei Yao who was lost.

She was bowing in the desert, while he was sitting in the carriage, with a white jade fan, lifting a corner of the curtain, which made her realize what it meant to be stunned by a handsome man.

Xuyuan will never forget that scene.

Until now, she can still remember that day.

The young man had cold eyes and said the cruelest words, but when he left the desert, he left all the credit to her.

"No." Bei Yao shook his head.

He knew that if he went on further, Xu Yuan would not be able to guess, so he said directly: "It was the first time I saw you, at the Cheng Mansion."

That day, he, like Shen Yichuan, was going to see the wife the Queen had chosen for him.

At that time, he still longed for the queen's love.

Therefore, he did not resist this wife, even though she grew up in the countryside, he did not mind. The reason why he made this trip in person was for the tribute, and by the way, he wanted Shen Yichuan to inform Song Xiujing about the situation in the capital.

He hoped that Song Xiujing was a smart person. If not, then he would teach her. He had plenty of time.

But Song Xiujing met Cheng Jie.

Shen Yichuan was afraid that the matter would become a big deal and bring disgrace to the royal family, so he tried to go out and rescue Song Xiujing several times, but was stopped each time because he wanted to see how long Song Xiujing could endure.

Just at this moment, Xuyuan appeared.

He appeared almost without hesitation, rushed in, and beat Cheng Jie out.

It was also at that time that Bei Yao was the first to become interested in this border desert.

He should have returned to Beijing in a hurry, but because he made a wish, he stayed in Sishui County for several days.

Xu Yuan's breathing stagnated slightly, and his memory went back to nearly two years ago in Bei Yao's words.

When I came to my senses again, the carriage had stopped.

Right in front of Xu’s house’s gate.

Bei Yao loosened his hand and said, "Your father has just returned to the capital, and there are not many people in the palace. I am afraid that our wedding cannot be handled. I have asked Concubine Xing to hire a nanny to take charge of this matter. I trust her and you can use her without worry. If you want to buy anything or add anything, just ask the nanny to go to the Chengwang Mansion to withdraw money. If you have other needs and don't want the nanny to know, you can ask your maid to go to the Chengwang Mansion to find Cheng Xi. The same is true."

Beiyao gave instructions on every detail.

This was the third time he had met Xu Yuan since he returned to Beijing. From then on until they got married, he avoided Xu Yuan.

Therefore, he instructed everything he could think of.

Finally, he said, "Mr. Qin and Chen Shan are getting married next month. Are you going?"

"Are they getting married?"

"Yes, before this, the two of them followed me and traveled outside all year round, so there was never a suitable time. Now that my wedding date has been set and I want to live in the capital permanently, I naturally have to arrange their marriage. Otherwise, it would seem that I, as their master, am heartless."

When Chen Shan proposed to her, Bei Yao was still somewhat unhappy.

Because I'm faster than him!

It was precisely because of the need to keep the marriage of Master Tan that the maids in the palace could not go to the Xu residence.

Another reason is that Xu Wenxian would probably be more accustomed to using the people from the Shen family.

"Young Master Qin is getting married, so of course I have to go."

"When the wedding date is set, I'll have someone send the invitation."

The carriage had been parked at the door of Xu's house for a long time, and several people had already poked their heads out of the door. Even though he was reluctant, Bei Yao had no choice but to say, "Go back. I will take care of Shen Yichuan's affairs. If it really doesn't work, when Grand Tutor Shen retires and returns to his hometown, I will let Shen Yichuan leave the capital with us."

"Thanks a lot."

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao, and then said seriously again: "My luckiest thing is meeting you."

Without Beiyao, she would have died from that arrow, would not have been able to reach the capital, and would not have been able to take revenge.

As Beiyao said, they were not walking on the same path.

But Bei Yao was willing to give up another path for her.

"There's no need to talk about this between you and me. Just go ahead and do what you want to do. I've said before that even if you poke the sky down, I'll still clean up the mess for you."

—

After returning to Xu's house, Xu Yuan put the Queen Mother's difficulties behind him.

Seeing that Xuyuan was in a good mood, Huamei boldly asked, "Miss, is the Queen Mother easy to get along with?"

Xu Yuan's smile paused for a moment, then she smiled again and said, "It doesn't matter whether we get along well or not. We are not living with the Queen Mother."

Thinking of this, Xuyuan felt even happier.

“Where’s my father?” she asked.

"Still in the front hall."

"I'll go take a look." Xuyuan said and walked towards the front hall.

She had to tell Xu Wenxian in advance about the coming of a nanny.

After all, there is one more person in the house.

In other aristocratic families, the front hall and the backyard are two places.

Women are not allowed to go beyond the front hall, but in the Xu family, there is no such rule.

The imperial edict was read out in the palace today, and Xu Wenxian had not gone out, so it was a good time to talk about this matter.

Xuyuan went to the front hall and the whole family was there. They were probably happy for her, as everyone had smiles on their faces and looked very happy.

When Xu Yuan came in, Wen Shufang was the first to say, "Yuan'er, did you get what you wanted? I thought that young master was good before, but I didn't expect that he was such a good person!"

Bei Yao also spent some time with the Xu family.

At that time, even Zhang Qingyu was extremely satisfied.

However, the only bad thing is that he is a prince.

Zhang Qingyu was afraid that if she wished to marry into the royal family, she would waste her time in the harem.

"Nature is wonderful."

Make a wish and accept it, then sit down at the last seat.

Xu Wenxian said, "Yuan'er has come at the right time. Today we have some good news. Your brother has already set out to return to the capital. He will be there in two months. Zhicheng will also be there the day after tomorrow. Our family will finally be reunited."

Once a teacher, always a father.

Ever since he accepted Cheng Zhicheng as his disciple, Xu Wenxian has treated him as his own son.

Cheng Jie made a wish to go to the capital and joined the army.

During that time, Cheng Zhicheng was also doing what Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue were supposed to do.

He is already a member of the Xu family.

"Cheng Zhicheng is also coming to the capital?"

"That's right." Xu Wenxian nodded. "With my father's ability, he can't enter Wenhua Palace, so I thought that when Zhicheng arrives in the capital, he will go to the academy with me to study, and take the national exam together at the end of the year."

As Xu Wenxian spoke, a dark light flashed across his eyes.

The Xu family is now famous in the capital because of their ancestors. If no one enters the court in the future, the Xu family will slowly decline.

Therefore, not only does he need to gain a firm foothold in the court, but there must also be others like him.

Cheng Zhicheng studied literature, and Zhang Yue practiced martial arts.

This is the best candidate.

Besides, Xu Wenxian looked at Xu Yuan and continued, "Now that the imperial decree for marriage has been issued, although the wedding date has not been set, your marriage must be held in the mansion. Your father has little experience in this matter, and your mother has never held it, so I wrote a letter and sent it to Xinzhou, inviting your grandmother's family to come to the capital to arrange the wedding."

Xu Yuan was about to mention this matter, but before she opened her mouth, she heard Xu Wenxian say again: "Yuan'er, the daughters of the Xu family always get married in glory, and your father will never let you suffer any grievances."
