On the official road of Yunzhou, a group of soldiers who had just suppressed the bandits were preparing to return to the city.
Pedestrians saw this group of powerful soldiers wearing silver armor and stepped aside. A local girl from Yunzhou saw this group of mighty soldiers, smiled and threw flowers and handkerchief sachets to them, and she was more bold.
The girl directly reported her name to the family.
Almost no one among the soldiers refused the girls' things, and they all reached out to take them with joy and pride. Except for the leader, who had a cold face, he didn't even look at the girls' things, even if they were thrown on him.
No matter.
Feiyun reached out to Xiao Xuanan and fished it out casually, and was able to catch a lot of sachets, handkerchiefs and other items.
The girls who were throwing handkerchiefs saw that Feiyun took the handkerchief and shouted with a smile: "Young man! You are not bad! Are you married?"
Feiyun smiled and replied: "Never married!"
After hearing this, the girls immediately burst into laughter.
Yunzhou is a place of commerce and trade. Many foreigners have settled here for business and have brought their cultural customs to Yunzhou, making the folk customs of Yunzhou more open. The women of Yunzhou are more temperamental than the women of other regions in Beiyuan.
Much more lively and lively.
"Second Young Master, the bandits in the surrounding areas are almost cleared. Second Young Master can rest for a while."
Feiyun smelled the fragrant handkerchief and said to Xiao Xuanan.
Xiao Xuanan glanced at Feiyun, "Why, which girl do you like?"
Feiyun scratched his head, "I don't have anyone I like yet, I just want to see each other."
Xiao Xuanan: "You just want to see a beautiful girl."
Feiyun's petty thoughts were exposed without hesitation, and he said: "Sir, give yourself some rest. You have wiped out the bandits in Yunzhou several times."
After saying that, Feiyun approached Xiao Xuanan and whispered: "Young Master, how about we secretly return to the capital and let the Third Young Master cover you again..."
Xiao Xuanan: "He was punished by his father last time and broke his leg. He is still not recovered yet."
He better stop cheating Aze.
He has sneaked back to the capital twice, and Aze has been covering for him each time. Now Aze looks aggrieved. If he does it again, I'm afraid they, the brothers, won't be able to do it.
"Master, are you really not going back? The last time I heard the news from my wife, my cousin has been awake for many days. She must also miss you, Master."
Xiao Xuan'an looked ahead with an indifferent expression, feeling lost in thought as he didn't know what to think of.
During the two months when Yue'er was in coma, he secretly went back to see her twice. Seeing her lying unconscious on the bed, he was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
Yue'er's health has been in poor condition. He had actually expected that one day she would be unable to hold on any longer and would close her eyes like this, as if she would never be able to talk to him again.
But I didn't expect this day to come so early.
After returning to Yunzhou, one night when he passed by his father Xiao Ce's room, he heard the conversation between him and his mother. After hearing this, his heart felt like it fell into an ice cave.
He finally understood why his eldest father insisted on letting him return to Yunzhou and strictly prohibited him from going back privately.
All because Yue'er's body is almost exhausted and she may not even reach the age of eighteen.
During that time, he saw that Yue'er's complexion was rosy, and she was more cheerful and smiling than before. He thought that Yue'er's health was getting better and better, and everything was getting better.
But I don't want to be in a situation where Yue'er's health is actually bad.
Until he heard that Yue'er almost fell into the lake at the birthday party, was drugged by the Shen family, and was almost raped by Shen Zhishu, he almost lost his mind and rode a fast horse for two days and nights back to the capital.
After seeing Yue'er lying unconscious on the bed, he kicked open the door of Shen's house, pulled out Shen Zhishu and beat him severely, almost beating him to death.
Xiao Yan found out that he was making such a big show, and he was scolded severely and told to rush back to Yunzhou the next day. He didn't listen to his father's words and hid in the capital for a few days.
Xiao Yan was so angry with him that he didn't even go to the military camp. He sent people to search him out in the capital and beat him with a big stick until he couldn't even walk. Then he asked people to send him back. to Yunzhou.
After returning to Yunzhou, his mother Qiu Chu kept wiping her tears. Originally, Xiao Ce wanted to beat him up, but in the end he saw that he was beaten so hard by his elder brother that he didn't even come to bed, so he had to give up and take the Xiao Qingze, who was covering for him, was beaten.
After he was almost recovered, he ran back to see Yue'er again. This time he was not caught by Big Daddy, but Xiao Qingze was caught and beaten by Xiao Ce again.
Xiao Qingze was dissatisfied and contradicted his second father: "Second father, you have the ability to catch the second brother! What's the point of always catching me and beating me!"
Then Xiao Qingze ran away, but after running a few steps, he accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg.
Xiao Ce was almost furious with these two careless sons, and he immediately went to the outside of the customs in anger and didn't want to care about them anymore.
The boss, Xiao Changfeng, was left to watch the two of them.
"Second Young Master, the general is not in Yunzhou now. Do you really not want to go back and take a look?" Feiyun looked at Xiao Xuan'an and said.
Xiao Xuanan came back to his senses, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Even though he knew Yue'er was awake, he didn't dare to go back and see her. He was afraid that seeing her would make him unable to control the thoughts in his heart.
But at this moment, she was so fragile that she could no longer withstand any setbacks.
"Second Young Master! Second Young Master!"
As soon as Xiao Xuanan arrived at the gate of Yunzhou City, he saw Yan Yu, the attendant beside his eldest brother, running towards him with a happy face.
"What's the matter?"
Yan Yu handed the wedding invitation in his hand to Xiao Xuanan, "Second Young Master, this is a happy event for my cousin! My cousin is getting married soon, and this is a wedding invitation sent by the Duke's Mansion!"
Xiao Xuanan's expression froze for an instant, and Feiyun said in surprise: "My cousin is getting married? Who is she getting married to?"
With that said, he took the wedding invitation, opened it, opened his eyes and said with wide eyes: "Que Wu? Isn't that the king of the country of Salo? The Duke of the country actually married his cousin to Salo?"
As soon as Feiyun finished speaking, he saw Xiao Xuanan galloping towards the city on horseback.
"Sir!" Feiyun quickly followed.
Yan Yu watched Xiao Xuanan ride away with a cold expression and wondered why the second young master looked unhappy when he heard that his cousin was getting married. Everyone in the Xiao family was very happy. Even the general was very happy when he heard the news. Back to the house.
"Jiao Jiao's wedding date is set for seven days, which is just enough time for me to prepare some dowry for her."
Qiuchu was talking to several ladies from the Xiao family when she saw her son coming back. She greeted him, but she saw him walking straight towards her yard.
Looking at his expression, Qiu Chu knew that he already knew the news that Jiao Jiao was about to get married.
"If Jiao Jiao is in good health, let her go back to Yunzhou to get married." Xiao Changfeng was moving a wheelchair into the yard and said to Qiuchu.
He made this wheelchair for Jiao Jiao. After seeing a letter from his aunt saying that Jiao Jiao's hands and feet had been swollen these days and unable to walk, he made such a wheelchair and was preparing to modify it.
It just so happened that Jiao Jiao was about to get married, so he could ask his mother-in-law to take it back to her.
"Jiaojiao can't move. Her health is worse than before these days and she can't stand running around."
Xiao Changfeng had a look of pity on his face, "Then it's up to you, Aniang, to go back for us."
Even on such an important day as Jiao Jiao's wedding, they cannot leave Yunzhou, especially since the border and Beiyuan have begun to be turbulent recently. If they return to the capital, they will definitely be ambushed.
This is also the reason why Xiao Xuanan sneaked back and was severely beaten by his two fathers.
I don't know how many people are watching the Xiao family right now. As long as they leave Yunzhou, they will send people to ambush them.
Qiu Chu and several other members of the Xiao family could only bring some gifts back to Beijing to attend Jiao Jiao's wedding.
Xiao Changfeng modified the last part of the wheelchair, sat on it and tried it out. After finding it was OK, he stood up, clapped his hands, and was about to put it away, when he saw his second brother changed into a smart casual clothes and walked out with a calm face.
Xiao Changfeng stopped him, "Erlang, where are you going?"
Xiao Xuanan said without looking back: "Go hunting."
"Hunting?" Xiao Changfeng grabbed him and went to get the sword on his waist. Xiao Xuanan held him down. Xiao Changfeng fought with him for several times, pulled and pushed him with his backhand, grabbed the sword, and then put it away.
He kicked.
Xiao Changfeng turned the sword twice in his hand and pointed at Xiao Xuanan: "What do you want to do? Hmm?"
Xiao Xuanan reached out to grab his sword and said in a deep voice: "Brother, give it back to me!"
Xiao Qingze had just come back from outside with a piece of fruit in his hand. When he saw the two brothers fighting in the yard, he limped up to Qiu Chu and said with a bitter face: "Auntie, my second brother won't want to run away again."
