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."
After that, the two of them walked inward and outward, each going his own way.
Lin Yunyan waited in the sedan hall for a while and then heard Zhu Chan's footsteps.
When Zhu Xiang came in, Lin Yunyan carefully observed her expression, trying to judge the situation from her face.
"Ask if you're curious, and I won't let you ask." Zhu Xiang scolded her.
There is nothing that good sisters cannot say.
Zhu Xi collected his thoughts and explained the situation.
After hearing this, Lin Yunyan sighed: "You rejected the offer bluntly last time, but this time you are soft-hearted."
If you don't say it to death and leave some room, it will give people hope.
"What I fear most is regret and regret," Zhu Chan's voice lowered, "My mother was paralyzed in bed for three months before she completely fell into coma.
I was young and ignorant at the time, so I asked her why she couldn't get out of bed and why she couldn't play with me.
The day before she fell into coma, I lost my temper with her and said a lot of childish and hurtful things unscrupulously.
Later, when I realized that she really would not wake up, I regretted it very much.
If I had known that would happen, I would have spoken to her properly when she was still awake and told her that I still want to be her daughter in my next life, instead of saying a lot of things that would make her sad."
Zhu Xiang sighed when he said this: "The battlefield is unpredictable, and there is no way to predict it. If something happens, he can also keep a thought. As for me, I am selfish, I don't want to be like me one day."
I regret that I spoke too harshly and could not get over this hurdle."
In the final analysis, this leeway was not left to Yu Chengan, but to Zhu Xiang for himself.
No pain or itching does not mean any results, but it can give you peace of mind just in case.
Lin Yunyan smiled.
Zhu Xiang is rational, but not ruthless and unjust.
It’s okay to say that it’s only bystanders who know the situation. Lin Yunyan thought that in a year, both Zhu Xiang and Yu Chengan would have changed, and by then, they would probably have different answers.
In this room, Lin Yunyan arranged a sedan to take Zhu Xiang out of the house. In the flower hall in that room, Xu Jian looked at the two jars of wine coldly.
"I'm married," he said.
"I know," Yu Chengan said, "This jar of tea is for the princess."
"You don't know," Xu Jian said lightly, "I am leaving Beijing soon and my time is limited. I don't want to waste it on drinking with outsiders."
Yu Chengan:......
OK!
People who get married are amazing!
"I'll leave the wine for you, you and the princess can drink it together," Yu Chengan said, "The Holy Father asked me to set off with you. I will go to the Gyeonggi Camp early tomorrow morning. Don't be surprised if you see me then."
After Xu Jian heard this, without saying a word, he suddenly grabbed the tea cup and threw it towards Yu Chengan's door.
Yu Cheng'an didn't expect Xu Jian to attack, but fortunately he was quick and swerved to the left to avoid the oncoming tea cup.
There was a crisp sound, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the pieces scattered.
Xu Jian commented: "Barely."
Yu Chengan couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you still remember that I am not married yet? If my face is ruined, where can I find a wife?"
"If you can't even avoid such a tea cup, I will advise the Holy Spirit to let you stay at home. Disfigurement is better than death," Xu Jian said, "After all, he is the son of a security guard. He doesn't need to be a good match. He can be of the same mind.
Agreed, it's not difficult to just find a wife.
If you really go to Yumen to die, you will never have a wife until your death."
Yu Chengan was speechless.
Who is to blame?
Blame himself.
Over the years, I have been listening to the crow of cocks and crickets all day long, and I have never developed the skills to argue with others.
"Going to the yard to figure out things?" Yu Cheng'an said simply.
Xu Jian got up and walked outside.
He had no intention of taking action and only called Xuan Su and Yu Chengan to come over to fight.
Lin Yunyan walked back to the flower hall and heard the sound of fists and feet in the distance. When she got closer, she saw Xuan Su and Yu Chengan coming and going, making it very lively.
She then walked around the corridor and walked to Xu Jian's side.
"How?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Xu Jian turned his head and whispered: "It can be seen that my serious skills have been wasted for a long time. Now my moves are all wild. Fortunately, my reaction is quick and my foundation is still there. I can pick it up after practicing for a while."
Lin Yunyan nodded.
Although Xuan Su did not use all his strength, Yu Chengan could handle it, which made Lin Yunyan feel more at ease.
Even after they met, she didn't want Yu Chengan to die.
When a dude is as light as a feather, at least he can live.
Changing his temper and rushing to the border, although there are no absolutes on the battlefield, it is really necessary to risk death, so there is no need.
After hundreds of moves, it ended with Xuan Su's sudden exertion.
Yu Chengan knew what he was capable of now, and he was convinced that he had lost.
After tidying up his appearance, he asked Xu Jian: "Can you force yourself to go to Yumen with me?"
Xu Jian stepped forward and said: "We will go to the Gyeonggi Camp early tomorrow morning. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set off in two days."
Yu Chengan accepted.
After the matter was settled, he, an outsider who was very self-aware, said goodbye and left.
Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian saw off their guests and walked to the main courtyard without haste.
"Xuansu will go to Yumen with me, and Shenchen will stay in the capital," Xu Jian explained softly. "If anything happens to Su Chang, Shenchen can easily take him back. Li Du acted insidiously and ruthlessly, even if he couldn't mobilize private soldiers to directly
Referring to the capital, he will definitely make other moves while the imperial army is being restrained by Xiliang and Gu Yue."
Lin Yunyan nodded: "I can't do anything about it, but I will try my best to keep an eye on the Jingxin Hall and pay more attention to Li Shao. My father will also help me to observe and inquire more. You can take care of yourself outside."
It's late at night.
Half asleep and half awake, Lin Yunyan listened to Xu Jian's long breathing, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind.
Xu Jian went to Yumen this time for at least a few months and a half.
From the time she married Xu Jian in her previous life to the time she woke up in this life, although they were not married at first, they had many private contacts and could see each other in person.
After all, she had never been separated from Xu Jian for so long.
It's strange that I'm not used to it.
Slightly moving her body, Lin Yunyan moved closer to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian seemed to be aware of it, and put his arms around her waist and patted her back gently.
Two days later, in the morning light, the reinforcements set off from the Gyeonggi camp.
An Yibo came to see him off dressed in military uniform.
He looked around and said to Xu Jian in a low voice: "I know what you said. Leave the capital to me. You just need to retreat from the enemy in Yumen."
Xu Jian agreed, got on his horse, and led the army westward.
