Now that you meet someone, etiquette is indispensable.

Zhu Xiang greeted him politely and called "Master Yu".

Yu Chengan wanted to return the favor, so he raised his hand. On his left side was a can of tea, and on his right side were two pots of wine.

This made him pause for a moment, and he was also stunned, which was slightly funny.

On the side, Xu Bai saw this and quickly stepped forward to take all the gifts from the guest's hand.

Yu Chengan's hands were empty, and he couldn't help laughing: "Let the Princess and Miss Zhu laugh."

Zhu Xian smiled lightly.

The previous time my attitude was straightforward, now the etiquette is enough, there is no reason to be more polite.

She nodded briefly and glanced at Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan understood and said to Yu Chengan: "The Duke of Guo is in the study. Master Yu goes to the flower hall to sit down. Uncle Bai, please come over. I have to send Miss Zhu off, so I'm rude first."

Hearing this, Yu Chengan subconsciously took half a step to the side to make way.

The summer wind carried the heat, and when it passed by, it also carried the faint smell of soapberry from the girl's body.

The grandmother in the family likes flowers. Although Yu Chengan has never been exposed to women's rouge, he also knows what floral dew with the aroma of flowers and fruits will be like.

And the light soapberry...

Yu Chengan's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiang's earlobes.

Only tea stems were inserted into the ear holes.

Yes.

Miss Zhu is still keeping filial piety for her mother.

She said before that she would not be a stay-at-home lady for the rest of her life.

It’s hard to say when the battle with Yumen will take place. Will it be possible that by the time he comes back from the border, Zhu Xiang will have already made an engagement or left the government?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yu Chengan impulsively called out: "Miss Zhu, please stay."

Zhu Xiang stopped and turned to look at him, with confusion on his face.

Yu Chengan touched the tip of his nose.

It was obvious that he was impulsive when he spoke, but since he had stopped the person, it was inevitable that he would appear hesitant if he did not say anything.

That’s all.

Just pretend that you have no regrets.

Yu Chengan said: "Miss Zhu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Lin Yunyan didn't say much, she only looked at Zhu Xiang's attitude.

Zhu Xiang hesitated slightly.

To be fair, she knew it was better for her to refuse.

Let's talk about it last time, what ended was Yu Chengan's gesture of asking Aunt Zhu to come forward to show her goodwill.

Acting with dignity is, in the final analysis, the word "restraint".

It is precisely because the feelings in my heart are still there that I have "restraint".

The human heart is made of flesh.

How can we take back all the appreciation and admiration just because of a few words?

If Mr. Yu really had the kind of "free and easy" temperament, it would make Zhu Xiang feel "weird".

Therefore, it is better for each other if we don't say anything and keep our distance.

If she gives in and gives more opportunities, it will make it harder for people to let go.

But precisely because it was grown from flesh, it was difficult for Zhu Xiang to say decisive words for a while.

Zhu Xiang looked at Yu Chengan a few more times.

There was no cautious probing on the part of the other party, nor was there any entanglement. She seemed unwilling to give in. She was still calm and straightforward, as if she could respond or not.

The decision is hers, and she is the one who feels no burden.

Such rules and measures are appropriate. Zhu Xiang thought about it and said to Lin Yunyan: "Then wait for me for a while."

Lin Yunyan nodded: "I'll wait for you in the sedan hall."

Xu Bai also happily backed away.

Yu Chengan said: "I came here today to tell Duke Fu about the expedition. I have informed my elders and received the holy will, and then set off to Yumen with Duke Fu."

Zhu Xiang was stunned for a moment and looked at him in confusion.

Yu Chengan was amused by her surprised look and asked, "If I return with meritorious service, can Miss Zhu marry me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xiang's face turned hot.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was ashamed or angry, her voice and tone were a little heavier: "You are just being your dandy in the capital, why do you have to risk your life on the battlefield? If you are doing it for me, I nodded and risked my life. I thought you were stupid and foolish."

After receiving a few harsh words and being told that he was stupid and stupid, Yu Chengan not only did not get angry, but his smile became even brighter.

"How can I continue to be a playboy? I want to be one, but my grandfather won't let me be one." Yu Chengan kept laughing for a while, then stopped laughing when Zhu Chan's face became darker and darker, cleared his throat, and said seriously Then he solemnly said, "Of course, I figured it out myself and wanted to live a decent life.

I've become a bit muddled in recent years, but it's not that I'm rotten to the core. Maybe it's because I'm old enough. I started to indulge in cockfighting and cricket fighting when I was ten years old. Now that I'm almost twenty, I still need to be a little more humane.

Miss Zhu recognizes An Yibo, right?

His grandchildren were defeated by me when they were young.

I don't want to brag when I say this, I just want to say that I have some basic knowledge. It's not that I can't carry it with my hands, and I will die if my head gets hot.

I really don’t even know how to use a sword or a gun. I clamored to go, but my family didn’t dare to let me go.”

After hearing what he said, Zhu Xian calmed down a lot.

Too.

Yu Chengan has many elders above him, so if he dares to seek death, his family has plenty of ways to stop him.

Since there is no stop, it means that he agrees to change his original playboy temperament and take a serious path, even if this path is risky.

Yu Chengan cleared his throat and continued: "I just want to leave Beijing, just to get a bargain, and finally get one for myself.

What I just thought of is that maybe by the time I come back, you have already made up your mind and I really will never have another chance.

Of course, I didn’t choose to join the army just to get you to nod, and I won’t not practice well and cause chaos to the battle just because you don’t nod.

I join the army for myself, I’m not lying to you.”

Zhu Xiang was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, it was like returning to the last time they faced each other, except that the situation had been reversed.

Last time, she was the one who kept Yu Chengan speechless, but this time it was she who was speechless.

There are obviously many things to say, but there is no way to start.

It seems that nothing I say is appropriate or worthy of this frankness and sincerity.

yes.

She has seen a lot of dudes.

Her father, Zhu Cheng, was a "role model" among the dandies.

But in terms of character, she could feel that Yu Chengan and Zhu Cheng were completely different people.

Isn't it rotten to the core?

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and maybe the depression in his chest had dissipated a lot. Maybe Yu Chengan might never come back after leaving...

She raised her head and looked directly into Yu Chengan's eyes: "My mother has been gone for two years."

Yu Chengan raised his eyebrows and turned around to understand what Zhu Xiang meant.

"Yes, you still have one year of filial piety," he said sincerely, "then let's take a look at it for one year? In this year, I will still be decent in Yumen, and you will consider it then?"

Zhu Chuan smiled, very lightly and quickly. The smile flashed across his face, and his mood became more relaxed.

"When you come back from Yumen, I will tell you the result of my consideration."

Yu Chengan smiled, his smile lingering for a long time, and his joy was beyond words.

He knew that Zhu Xiang didn't actually agree to anything, but it was still a lot better than the categorical refusal last time.

As he said, his change was out of his own heart and not for Zhu Xian, and he would not resent any outcome.

However, if this change can fall into Zhu Chan's eyes and make her no longer regard him as a complete playboy, he will certainly be happy.

Whatever fruit is produced in the end is harvest, not coercion.

Yu Chengan cupped his hands and said "take care".

Zhu Xian nodded and replied, "Take care."
