After seeing the ceremony, the four sat down around the stone table.

Xu Yanhe remembered what his grandfather had said to him a few days ago, and said, "Xiang Rong, did you hear that Liu Jie, the former Marshal of the Northern Territory, died in prison?"

Wang Xin was surprised when he heard it, and said calmly, "I never heard of it, maybe the news hasn't come out from the capital yet."

Seeing that the other party didn't know anything, Xu Yanhe said with all his heart, "You have to be mentally prepared. If someone rebels, the Liangzhou you manage will become a place that rebels must pass through. You are a frail female scholar. , How to lead the people to defend the city? Why don’t you petition the imperial court early and return to the Imperial Academy as an errand.”

Wang Xin heard the words and said: "Brother Yanhe is worrying too much. Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, how can there be people rebelling? Don't tell others about this kind of talk, Brother Yanhe."

"Why don't you believe it? I'm telling the truth. Let me tell you the truth. Although my grandfather intends to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, he also knows that this year will not be peaceful. It is true to clean up the old house this time, but it is also true to retrieve my grandmother's belongings." Yes, you have to cherish your fame and fame through studying hard, there is no need to stay in Liangzhou and wait to die." Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Xu Yanhe said anxiously.

Wang Xin laughed and said: "Brother Yanhe, even if there is a real war, I am ordered to take charge of Liangzhou, how can I be a deserter? The imperial court entrusts me, I will live and die with Liangzhou City, I appreciate Brother Yanhe's kindness Yes, it’s just that everyone has their own aspirations.”

Wang Xin's calm words stunned the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, especially Xu Anhe, who sized Wang Xin up and down with beautiful eyes. When the other party heard the stick, his face was light and calm, and he spoke unhurriedly, but he was a bit angry Resting his mind, thinking of peeking at Wang Xin's test-taking essay in his grandfather's study, he couldn't help but feel that the essay was as good as his own.

Xu Yanhe had no choice but to face Wang Xin squarely, and said slowly, "Xiang Rong's heart is admirable."

"Brother Yanhe is full of praise." Wang Xin saw that the rain and snow had stopped, so he stood up and said, "Brother Yanhe's heart-to-heart words, I have kept them in my heart. The reunion is supposed to be together after a long absence, but the office is busy. , we have to meet again some other day." Wang Xin cupped his hands as he said.

"Business is important, please let me go to Rong." Xu Yanhe replied.

Wang Xin nodded slightly, turned around and lowered his eyes to bow to the two young ladies of the Xu family: "Miss Xu, farewell."

"Master Wang, please go ahead." Xu Anhe returned the courtesy, pulling his sister.

Wang Xin turned around and went down the stone steps of the pavilion, walking all the way to the Yamen.

In the pavilion, Xu Anhe looked at Wang Xin's back thoughtfully.

"Let's go too. At this time, the mountain road is too muddy to climb. Why don't we take you to the Plum Garden?" Xu Yan said softly.

Xu Qiuhe said with a smile when he heard the words: "Brother, I'm afraid that the second sister is not in the mood to go to the Plum Garden. Who do you think the second sister is looking at?"

Xu Yanhe hurriedly looked at his second younger sister, and saw that she was lost in thought looking at Wang Xin's back.

Xu Anhe was embarrassed when he heard this, and cast a glance at his younger sister and said, "Sister, why do you always look at me?"

"Second sister, you have to stop thinking about it." Xu Yanhe's face was heavy, "She comes from a poor family, and her family background is different, so my father will not agree."

Xu Anhe was taken aback when he heard the words, his ears turned red and he said, "Brother, what I value is not family status, but a person's character."

Xu Yanhe couldn't help but have a headache: "You saw her just now, what kind of character can you tell about her? Second sister, there are many children from aristocratic families in Beijing who have asked you to marry me, and there are many talented people who have learned well."

"It's quite a lot, but the second sister doesn't like it. Brother, you can't force the second sister to choose from those people." Xu Qiuhe pouted.

"Don't make more trouble." Xu Yanhe reprimanded the third sister, and tried to persuade his second sister, "Second sister, you can't recognize this person at a glance, so don't think about it."

"Brother, I heard you praised Mr. Wang before, why do you feel that you are not a good person?" Xu Anhe looked at his second brother teasingly. The conversation between her brother and Wang Xin just now showed his brother's character. How low is it?

"I..." Xu Yanhe choked for a moment, "Hey, she is pretty good, but she has no father or mother, no one to rely on, and no one in court."

"There is no father and no mother. It is true that my life experience is miserable. It's just that my brother and cousin married into the Grand Master's Mansion, and her mother-in-law bullied her frequently. It would be better to have such a 'noble' mother-in-law." Xu Anhe turned around after saying that, Lift your leg down the stone steps.

"You, second sister, how can you speak so rudely?" Xu Yanhe hurried to catch up, "I really regret taking you out to play, brother reminds you, in case of beating a stick, Wang Xin may die in Liangzhou, you want to be with her?" Getting married is simply madness, let's stop thinking about it as soon as possible."

"Brother, you are too impatient." Xu Anhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "When did I say that Mrs. Wang would not marry? It's just that seeing her today and listening to her talk, I feel a little refreshing, compared with those young girls in the capital. , she is steady and responsible, unlike those embroidered pillows."

Xu Yanhe hurriedly said: "Listen, you're almost boasting about her, and you said you didn't care about her."

Xu Anhe said with a smile: "I do have thoughts, but I'm not in a hurry. Why don't I know how to look at people but not the surface? Why did I set myself a lifetime so hastily? Brother, I hope I can find someone more than you." It's dependable."

"Hearing what you said, although there is no rush, she still has a chance to be the girl of my Xu family. You can think clearly, father values ​​family status very much, so maybe he will agree?"

The corner of Xu Anhe's mouth raised slightly, "Father values ​​family status, but grandfather loves talent."

"It seems that the second sister has really taken a fancy to Mr. Wang, and she has even thought about the way out after her father disagrees." Xu Qiuhe teased with a smile.

"Sister, stand there with me." Xu Anhe said and chased after his sister, "You like to provoke me, so I must let you remember."

Seeing his second and third younger sisters behaving like crazy, Xu Yanhe couldn't help but feel a headache. Wang Xin was in a bad situation. If she really got married and died in Liangzhou, then her second younger sister...

Xu Yanhe followed behind his two younger sisters worriedly. His second younger sister had her own opinions since she was a child, and was favored by her grandfather, so it would be useless for anyone to persuade her.

At night, Xu Yanhe didn't sleep well all night, and went out the next day to buy Liangzhou's special products, and was planning to leave for Beijing soon, and wanted his second sister to stop seeing Wang Xin, and maybe they would forget about it after a while.

Walking to the pastry shop, I bought hawthorn cakes. As soon as I came out, I was surprised to hear that Wang Zhizhou was married today.

"Brother, who did you just say got married today?" Xu Yanhe asked while carrying his things.

"We Wang Zhizhou."

When Xu Yanhe heard it, he immediately felt that the sky was bright and clear, "Which lady did you marry?"

"It's not a young lady. I married my neighbor's daughter. This Lord Wang has already become a governor of the state. He also married the daughter of our common people. He must be a good official."

Xu Yan and Wen Yan said yes again and again, and hurried to the old house with the hawthorn cake in hand.

"Second Sister, Second Sister!!" Xu Yanhe hurried up to the second floor, walked to the door of his younger sister's room, and knocked on the door. "Second Sister, open the door quickly. Brother went to the street and heard bad news."

When I was young, the door opened, and Xu Anhe's maid stepped out of the way. Xu Yanhe stepped into the door, only to see his younger sister reading a book quietly guarding the stove.

"Second sister, it's not good." Xu Yanhe smiled and pulled a chair to sit next to his sister.

Without even looking at his brother, Xu Anhe calmly turned a page of the book and said, "Hearing my brother's voice, with deep joy, it doesn't seem like I heard some bad news."

"Yes, is it?" Xu Yanhe cleared his throat in embarrassment, "It's indeed bad news. I didn't know that Wang Xin got married until I went out today."

Xu An and Wen Yan were taken aback for a moment, then they smiled and gave their brother a blank look, then continued to lift up the book and read.

When Xu Yanhe saw that his sister didn't believe it, he hurriedly said: "It's true, how can I lie to my sister about such a thing?"

"Brother, I told you that it's not Wang Xin's fault, so why do you make up such kiddos to deceive me? We just met yesterday, and today we are married?" Xu Anhe didn't believe it, put down the book with a smile, " If you really got married today, then she should have invited you to the wedding banquet yesterday."

"You don't know Wang Xin. She is afraid of extravagance. I can assure you that she didn't invite anyone when she got married." Xu Yanhe sighed.

Xu Anhe frowned slightly when he heard this: "How can it be possible not to invite relatives and friends for such a big event as marriage?"

"She came to Liangzhou to take up the post. How can there be any relatives or friends here?" Xu Yanhe said, looking at his sister's face, "Good sister, there are many outstanding people. Since Wang Xin is married, the younger sister will be another Find a mate."

Xu Anhe saw that his brother's expression became serious, and he believed it more or less. He picked up the book again and said, "If we are really married, that's the only way to go."

Xu Yan and Wen Yan were taken aback for a moment, seeing that their sister didn't show any signs of sadness, they asked, "Why is my sister so calm? Doesn't she show any signs of sadness?"

"It's not sad, but there are regrets. Among the people introduced by my parents and aunt these years, there is no one like Wang Xin who made me feel okay at first sight." Xu Anhe said calmly, "But brother, you don't have to worry about me. Marriage, there will always be success or failure. I can think about it with your sister."

Xu Yan and Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about what their sister said, they couldn't help being curious. In the eyes of their sister, Wang Xin is just okay, so what kind of person can make their second sister look at them differently?

"Brother, do you have something else to do?" Xu Anhe squinted and looked at her own brother. She did not forget that the other party happily came to report the bad news to her just now.

"No, it's okay, you can continue reading, brother won't bother you anymore." Xu Yanhe hurriedly got up and walked out.

As soon as Xu Yanhe left, Xu Anhe stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. Although the weather was approaching the spring breeze, it was still uncomfortably cold.

Standing on the second floor, Xu Anhe looked at the dead wood in the old house, pursed his lips, and said that it was nothing, but actually felt a little sad in his heart. She had just glanced at the people recommended by her family for many years and was too lazy to contact them again. Yes, I met Wang Xin yesterday, and finally got in touch with Wang Xin carefully. I didn't realize that she was a person who was going to get married, and I didn't know whose wrist Yuelao was holding her red silk on.

At night, the Sheriff's Mansion was very quiet, no one was making trouble in the bridal chamber, and no one dared to enter the Sheriff's Mansion over the wall to eavesdrop.

The two didn't invite a matchmaker, and because Wang Xin was pregnant, they didn't even drink a glass of wine, so the whole bridal chamber was a bit deserted.

"My lord, have my parents gone back?" Wang Xin asked while sitting by the bed.

Wang Xin held the other party's hand and said: "Go back, don't call me an adult from now on, my name is Xiang Rong, from now on call me Xiang Rong."

Wang Xin's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded in response.

"Are you tired? I took off your shoes, socks and coat. You lie down and rest for a while. Didn't the doctor also say that pregnant people should not be too tired?" Wang Xin squatted down to take off his shoes.

Wang Xin felt very sweet in her heart, because it was inconvenient for her to take off her shoes because she was pregnant, so she didn't refuse.

"Xiang Rong, let's rest together." Wang Xin said after lying down.

"Okay, I'm going to blow the lamp." Wang Xin said and walked towards the desk. Just as he was about to blow the lamp, he found a small bamboo tube on the table. When he opened it, there was a small note inside.

Wang Xin opened the note, looked under the lamp, and saw it said: "The person next to the pillow has no intentions, be careful, the map of the city defense has been stolen, be vigilant!"

Wang Xin was taken aback when he saw it, turned his head to look in the direction of his eye bed, and sat down on the chair. The meaning of this note clearly said that Wang Xin had stolen the city defense map! ! !

"Xiang Rong, what's the matter?" Wang Xin asked after not seeing him for a long time.

Wang Xin stood up when she heard the words, and was about to take a note to question the other party, but stopped just as she took a step. I don't know if the note is true or not. , not to mention that the other party is still pregnant, it is very hard work.

Thinking of this, Wang Xin burned the note, blew on the lamp, and walked towards the bed.

"What's the matter?" Wang Xin asked softly after feeling that the other party had gone to bed.

"It's okay, I just settled the book case." Wang Xin replied.

Wang Xin could feel the disappointment in the other party's tone. Thinking that today was their wedding night, she walked over and raised her hand to touch the other party's belt. Just as she was about to pull it away, she was held down by the other party.

Wang Xin raised her eyes to look at the other party and said, "Today is the wedding night..."

"You are pregnant, and the doctor said it is not suitable for intercourse." Wang Xin said and patted the other party's hand lightly, "You and I are both newly married, so we should listen to the doctor."

Wang Xin patted her belly when she heard the words, thinking about Wang Xin's thoughtfulness, she also felt that it was the kindness of heaven.

Wang Xin gradually fell asleep in happiness, but Wang Xin beside her suffered from insomnia. If what was written on the note was true, what should she do?At this moment, is the person next to her pillow a wife or an enemy?
