Spring Drunk Chang'an

Natsuki!

How long had it been since she last thought of this person?

It seems like a long, long time...

It had been too long. Liu Changan still remembered some of the cold and disgusting things he had done to her in past and present lives...

Uh!

Do not! !

She still remembers it clearly.

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

"Don't mention him, don't mention him, it's unlucky!"

"Humph, my parents would consider pigs and dogs, but never him!"

Liu Changan pursed his lips in anger, his tone tinged with resentment, "Your Highness, why are you criticizing him for no reason? You're not disgusting me!"

"I'm just asking casually." Seeing that she was so angry, Xiao Chuo didn't know why, but her originally sour heart actually felt a little happy.

Since that day when Liu Changan climbed over the wall into his hot spring pool, he had thoroughly investigated her. He knew that at her age, the only man around her who could be described as "loyal" was Xia Mu.

They even almost got engaged.

Although they broke up later, Liu Laishun and Liu Ai personally went to the Xia family to smash and beat them up, and Liu Changan also rejected Xia Mu's apology without hesitation, but...

Xiao Chuo was still worried.

Children in their twenties always love to quarrel. If someone says something to them today, they will get angry and curse the sky and the earth, wishing the other person would die immediately. But if they say something to them tomorrow, they will be sweet and happy again, just like one person.

Even though Liu Changan was resolute and said that they were breaking up, it seemed as if he had made up his mind not to see each other again.

However, now Xia Mu has also left the Ningguo Mansion with his aunt and moved into the villa. The Xia and Liu families have become neighbors again. There is nothing new under the sun. Who knows if Xia Mu will suddenly become aware of the girl's good qualities and try to curry favor with the Liu couple again?

Who knows if that couple will be deceived and coaxed by him?

It is better to eliminate the trouble forever.

then……

Xiao Chuo made a tentative statement.

The little girl's attitude did not disappoint him.

As expected, Xia Mu was treated like stinky dog ​​shit.

Humph, that dog slave is lucky. If the little girl had even a little bit of pity for him, that dog killer would...

Just die suddenly halfway.

A hint of cruelty flashed through Xiao Chuo's smoky eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He continued, "Chang'an, since you already know what's going on, I still want to give you a word of advice."

"You have to go back and tell your parents about your marriage. You can't plan it for the time being."

"Huh?" Liu Chang'an's face suddenly felt hot, and he muttered softly, "Can't plan? Why?"

"I'm not little anymore!"

"Your brother is already an official, and the families of officials are all subject to the imperial selection." Xiao Chuo said calmly, seemingly intentionally, "There will be an imperial selection next year. You will be eighteen years old, and you meet the requirements to participate, so you will be selected."

"Ah?" Liu Chang'an didn't see his distant gaze, but was surprised and said, "That's not right. Aren't only the wives of officials above the sixth rank eligible to participate in the selection?"

"Wang'er's grade is not high enough."

Xiao Chuo said calmly, "He is now from the sixth rank, only one level away!"

"But, my master told me in a casual chat that it's impossible for a Beijing official, especially one like Wang'er who just passed the exam, to get promoted within three to five years!" Liu Chang'an blurted out.

Xiao Chuo's eyebrows darkened slightly. "He is Zhang Changqing's apprentice, and is considered a member of the Eastern Palace. He was promoted much faster than those without backing."

"But it's almost November now. Next year... I remember the audition is in March, so there are only four months left. Can Wang'er get promoted?" Liu Changan was not convinced. "Even if it depends on the East Palace, it can..."

That's too much.

Is it so easy to get into the court?

Only four months.

In an ordinary harem, it is not enough to be promoted from a second-class maid to a first-class maid by the master's side.

"After all, there is such a thing. You'd better remember it in advance to avoid any worries!" Xiao Chuo said indifferently.

I thought to myself: As long as I am here, Liu Wanger will definitely be promoted before March next year.

Only the sixth rank.

His Eastern Palace is so big, what can’t be accommodated?

"Oh, then, that's fine." Liu Changan glanced at him, feeling inexplicably panicked. He could only lower his eyes and whisper, "I understand."

-

The carriage moved very slowly.

But one hour was enough to reach the Song family's villa.

Xiao Chuo personally lifted the curtain of the carriage and slowly raised her hand.

Eye contact.

Liu Changan bit his lip hesitantly, his face burning. He put his slender hand on his wrist and got out of the carriage.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go back soon. I, I want to go home!"

She turned her almond-shaped eyes to the side and didn't look at him.

"Ah."

Xiao Chuo nodded and slowly lowered the curtain.

The driver whipped the carriage and it drove away slowly.

Seeing this, Liu Changan turned around, pushed open the gate, and walked in.

In the carriage, Xiao Chuo watched her back disappear and slowly lowered the curtain.

The carriage drove away.

Liu Changan walked into the courtyard.

The Song family's dowry villa cannot be compared with Ju Ning Alley.

One is a small courtyard with three entrances, and the other is an entire street. The areas are definitely different, but because the family members that Song brought as a dowry were not as many as the servants of the Ningguo Mansion, and the Liu family was given special care by her, they were allocated the best courtyard.

It was a courtyard within a garden.

There is a small courtyard at the entrance. There is a grape trellis in the courtyard, a pomegranate tree planted next to it, an old well, two clusters of purple mandarin duck flowers, and a small gravel path.

At the end is a mahogany corridor, with several pots of peonies under the windows.

There are five houses facing you.

Liu Laishun and Liu Ai lived in the main house, the east and west wing rooms were given to Liu Wang'er and Liu Chang'an, Sanxi lived in the side room next to the wing rooms, and the other two rooms were used as a kitchen and a warehouse.

The location of the courtyard is also good. It is in the southwest corner of the entire house, facing the back garden on the left and the street outside the house on the right. There is a separate corner gate on the courtyard wall.

If the Liu family wants to leave the hospital, they don’t need to go through the house, they can just push the door and go out.

It is also extremely convenient.

Just now, Xiao Chuo sent her back from the corner gate.

Walking into the yard, Liu Chang'an looked up at the pomegranate tree that had begun to shed its leaves.

It's almost October.

The weather is getting colder.

The wind blew through her hair, bringing a slight chill. She couldn't help but shrink her shoulders. Following the chill, she suddenly remembered this time last year...

At that time, she was still struggling to survive in the Duke of Song's mansion, holding on to the pessimistic idea that "the worst that can happen is that we all die together."

This year……

Sitting in the prince's carriage, stroking the prince's wrist, she returned to her own courtyard.

Really, who could have thought?

It would be great if I could buy this yard and make it her home!

Liu Chang'an was lost in thought for a moment, standing there motionless until Liu Ai came out of the main room, carrying a quilt. She saw her daughter and asked, "Hey, Chang'an? When did you come back?"

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"

"Come and help me quickly, I'm so tired."
