"You..." Nan Yu suddenly raised his head and choked on his words.
"But since we are leaving, don't get too quarrelsome with A-Zhao. After all, if my father hadn't invited my uncle to come to Jiankang and introduced him to Your Majesty, he wouldn't have had the chance to flourish. People, you still have to understand
grateful……"
After hearing this, Nan Yu sneered, "Since we are talking about gratitude, A Yan, it was my father who took you in when you moved south to Lucheng. This gave you the opportunity to be General Ji's retainer. Otherwise, you wouldn't have
You have the opportunity to stand here and tell me this..."
"Isn't that right?" He Mucheng smiled gratefully and interrupted her sophistry, "That's why I advised Ah Yu not to get angry with Ah Zhao and say stupid things about leaving. There must be some misunderstanding.
Let’s get into the house quickly so that everyone doesn’t laugh.”
"In that case, why were you so aggressive with me in front of all the men yesterday? You spoke rudely to the men. I just said a few words to you, but you embarrassed me in public..."
Bringing up old things again? Do you think this can turn the tide?
He Mucheng sighed falsely, "Who asked you to slander Wen's Azhi?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around:
"I heard that the woman who injured Shen Han has been arrested. She is not Wen's Ah Zhi at all. Why does Nan's Ah Yu want to slander Wen's Ah Zhi?"
"Maybe it was an unintentional remark, just listen to it again..."
He Musheng curled his lips, glanced at Nan Zhao, and sighed, "Ah Zhao, you misunderstood Ah Yu. Yesterday you were not here, and Ah Yu was very embarrassed. The Wang family and Ah Xian invited all the noble ladies to serve as the Wen family."
Ah Zhi was unjust. Ah Yu said the wrong thing and offended the Langya Wang family. In the end, she could only be left among a group of men. She was a poor girl..."
When Nan Zhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief, "The Langya Wang family went yesterday?"
And He Mucheng was once again named a military advisor and followed Ji Yunyuan northward.
The wind blowing from the river was very chilly. Ji Yunyuan handed the long cloak that he had prepared to the little girl beside him and said with a chuckle, "Thank you for running with me in such a cold weather."
She deliberately lowered her voice for the last sentence, but it still reached the crowd.
Hmm? Doesn’t that mean we have to go with Princess Lingxiang?
This posture does not look like you are here to see me off, but rather... like you are traveling with me?
Wang Xuan said calmly, "I have important matters to discuss with General Ji. My people will stay and wait for her and tell her that I am staying in Lucheng."
"That's right!" At this point, He Mucheng glanced at Nan Yu with pity and curled his lips in self-reproach, "I asked Mr. Lang, Wang Xuan, why he didn't invite my concubine. What do you think Mr. Lang said?"
When Wang Xuan saw her like this, he laughed softly. The sound was like jade beads falling on a jade plate, very clear and moist, and very beautiful.
He stood in front of the two of them and bowed his hands to Ji Yunyuan, "Xuan wants to invite the general to accompany him. I wonder if the general will appreciate it?"
The two sang together and gradually changed the public opinion:
"I really didn't expect that Nan's Ah Yu would be such a person. He has no empathy for women. If disaster happens to him one day, who will defend her?"
The crowd dispersed, He Mucheng and Nan Zhao looked at each other, and the two smiled at each other, and the alienation in the past was relieved.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Please be patient. It's only a trip of less than two days."
Wang Xuan didn't take it seriously, "As long as the Ji family's army is here, nothing will happen to me. This time General Ji is going to Hulao City. I don't know when we will see him again. Time waits for no one, and the princess will understand."
"When he learned that his father had been promoted, he spoke rudely to his eldest sister. It's really a villain's success..."
Soon, the news of Nanzhi's appointment as the governor of Yanzhou spread, and Ji Yunyuan was named the General of the Western Expedition and was ordered to go to Hulao City to supervise the construction of the fortress, fulfilling Zu Ti's unfinished wish.
In this era, the words of famous people are very important, especially those of a noble person like Wang Xuan, whose words and deeds can determine a person's life or death.
Wang Xuan smiled helplessly, "My wedding date with Sima Ling is scheduled for the eighth day of next month. Now I will send her back to Wuchang. Princess Wuyang wants her to get married from Wuchang."
The staff member was a little embarrassed, "This is inappropriate. How can I have no one around me to protect you?"
But even if these words reached Wang Xuan's ears, it was harmless. She didn't care what Wang Xuan thought of her. Her reputation for being casual was already deeply rooted in people's hearts, so why should she care about these details?
After hearing this, Nan Zhao pretended to sigh and said, "I misunderstood her. Maybe this servant's hands and feet are dirty. How could Ah Yu not want me to go? If I had been here at that time, I could have reminded her to pay attention to her words and deeds. Now she
I have lost my reputation, what should I do?"
He Mucheng tugged on Ji Yunyuan's sleeves and listened like a rabbit with her ears raised. It wasn't until the staff's footsteps faded away that she slowly turned around with a smile on her face, "Actually... General Ji
I also want to have a chat with Mr. Lang..."
Nan Yu paused and immediately bit her lower lip. However, despite this, tears still flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. Soon, she ran into the house in shame and anger, no longer arguing.
Sure enough, when Wang Xuan saw her stunned expression, he smiled warmly, and the mist he breathed made his jade-like face even more dust-free.
Thinking of this, He Mucheng laughed dryly and waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I cherish my life and want to live a few more years..."
"I can't bear it for a moment." He Mucheng pouted his lips and snorted angrily.
"How do you say that?" Nan Zhao's smile about watching a good show almost spilled over his cheeks, but He Mucheng glared at him and suppressed it.
It's better to endure Nan Yu's villainy. At least Nan Yu will only make her feel disgusted in front of her. Sima Ling, he will kill her!
As he spoke, he did not forget to touch Ji Yunyuan with his shoulder, "General, right?"
After that, he raised his arm, and He Mucheng looked around, and saw a huge ship suddenly appearing on the misty river surface. Could the totem on it belong to the Langya Wang family?
"You want to go to Lucheng too? What are you going to Lucheng for?" He Mucheng asked in a low voice.
Of course, Wang Xuan didn't say those words, but in this era, who dares to spread rumors about Wang Xuan's remarks? Only she, He Musheng, spoke out without fear of death.
Just when she was at a loss what to do, Wang Xuan's graceful figure emerged from the crowd. He Mucheng blinked and saw that his cloak was spotless, and the entourage behind him was also elegant.
"Eldest sister is kind. She was so disrespectful just now. Why are you thinking about her..."
He Mucheng coughed slightly, "Lang Jun said, it was obviously Shen Han who had no sense of shame, but Ah Yu believed that the woman who hurt him had her own fault. As a woman, she actually added insult to injury. He... really disdained such a girl.
"
He Mucheng pinched Ji Yunyuan's sleeve and pulled him to get on the boat. As he turned around, Wang Xuan's staff came hurriedly and bowed their hands to Wang Xuan, "Mr. Lang, the princess slept this morning. Now,
Still dressing up..."
The staff member thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lang."
Ji Yunyuan raised his eyes and saw that Nan Zhizheng was looking at the river with his hands behind his hands in an official manner, while Nan Yu was smiling and waving goodbye to the gentlemen who came to see him off.
He Mucheng rubbed her little hands, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, she sniffed and said softly, "It wouldn't be so hard if I could separate from this family..."
Ji Yunyuan shook his head helplessly and trailed off fondly, "Yes, yes..."
As a result, she finally got rid of the unpleasantness of traveling with Nan Yu.
On the river in early winter, mist was everywhere, and Wang Xuan stood alone on the bow of the boat, his figure lonely and cold.
He Mucheng followed Ji Yunyuan and stood behind him. He heard the footsteps and did not turn around. Instead, he said leisurely, "Nan's Ayan, you are good at divination. Please do a divination for me. Calculate whether my bet will be good or not."
