Under Chu Yan's gaze, Chu Xiyun lowered her head and said, "Brother, I am not acting on a whim."
"Tell me why."
Chu Xiyun had a good reason, "I heard from Chu Siyan that Nanyang is very good. The customs and customs are good everywhere. It is not the wild land we imagined at all. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, the people's livelihood is happy and harmonious. You and your mother are both attracted by it."
I have thought a lot about my father's punishment. I have boasted that I have made many good sisters over the years, but they are all clinging to and flattering me because of my status. Once I am in trouble, in the past few months, except for Chu Siyan,
, no one dares to have the slightest connection with me. Beijing is so annoying. I don’t want to stay in Beijing anymore. I like to go to Nanyang where my cousin is. With her here, I think life will be very interesting."
Chu Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Didn't you tell your mother what you thought?"
"No." Chu Xiyun whispered, "I'm afraid my mother won't agree. After all, it's too far away."
Chu Yan nodded, but his tone showed no emotion, "It's indeed too far."
Chu Xiyun's heart sank, and she shook Chu Yan's sleeves, "Brother, you don't agree, right?"
Chu Yan asked her, "Although she and Gu Qingyan have canceled their engagement, they are still in love. Maybe if you marry in Nanyang, she will marry to the capital one day? If you are willing to sacrifice your life for where she is,
, is unwise."
Chu Xiyun said in a low voice, "I have thought about this too. My cousin once told me that she might never be able to let go of Nanyang for the rest of her life. Therefore, even if she marries to the capital in the future, she will definitely have to go back to Nanyang once or twice a year.
You see, I am tired of being in the capital. I don’t want to be stuck in the capital all my life. If I get married, I will be far away from the whirlpool of the capital."
What she didn't say was that what she wanted most was to stay far away from the palace and her father.
Chu Yan said, "You married too far away, don't you miss your mother?"
Chu Xiyun whispered, "I have thought about this too. I just want to leave the capital and marry far away. But I am a princess and if I feel homesick, I can go back to the capital to see my mother and you at any time. But if I marry in the capital,
It’s not that easy to leave the capital. Wherever you go, you have to follow the rules, even if you are a princess. At most, you can only travel around a hundred miles around the capital. Like my eldest aunt, she has never traveled farther in her life. Although she and
The prince-in-law sings the music, but I don’t want to live like this. Apart from holding this banquet and that banquet every year to please my father, there seems to be nothing else in my life.”
Chu Yan nodded, "Well, since you know what life you want, I won't stop you. You might as well tell your mother directly."
Chu Xiyun said in a low voice, "I wrote to my cousin to ask her about my temperament. I want her to see people who have the same temperament as me and are not yet engaged. I am waiting for her reply. If my brother agrees, I will marry her."
If you write a letter to my cousin, my cousin will know that I am not joking."
"Okay." Chu Yan thought for a while and agreed.
Chu Xiyun was immediately happy, looked up at him with a smile, and said sincerely, "Brother, you are so kind."
Chu Yan pulled back his sleeve, "You haven't met my grandfather yet, have you? Will you meet me today? Or will you go with your mother tomorrow?"
Chu Xiyun immediately opened her eyes wide, "Grandpa, can you see me?"
"See you, I didn't see you a few days ago. My grandfather is waiting for me to return home."
"Go! I'll go with you right away." Chu Xiyun made the decision immediately, "Brother, is grandpa very strict?"
"Not harsh, grandpa is very good."
"..."
The brother and sister talked and left the palace together.
On the same day, Chu Xiyun met the old King of Nanyang and found that the old King of Nanyang was not at all the same as the rumors, not at all the same as what An Huajin described, and different from what she imagined. He was very kind and funny.
Old man.
She liked her grandfather, Old Nanyang King, so she stayed at the Seventh Prince's Mansion that night.
At night, Chu Xiyun went to bed. Chu Yan told old Nanyang King what Chu Xiyun had told him during the day. Old Nanyang King was stunned and surprised, "Yun girl wants to marry Nanyang?" p>
Chu Yan nodded, "She seems to be serious. Now she has grown up and knows what she wants."
"It's good to know what you want to live in the future at such a young age." Old Nanyang King said, "There are still many young talents in Nanyang. She is indeed more comfortable marrying here than in the capital.
, but Princess Shang, you have to choose this carefully and carefully, don’t be in a hurry."
Chu Yan nodded, "My sister asked me to write a letter to my cousin to help her mention this matter."
Old Nanyang nodded, "The little girl knows everything about the family background, temperament, and character of the people in Nanyang. She has it all under her control. She knows it much better than an old man like me. Asking her is indeed better than asking me. Just ask."<
/p>
Chu Yan understood the words and nodded, "I will send her a letter today."
Only then did Old Nanyang remember, "It seems like that stinky girl hasn't written to me for a long time. Counting it, it's been nearly twenty days. I wonder what she's been doing? Why doesn't she even have a letter? She couldn't have been intercepted by someone.
Right? It’s impossible. With Huai’an here, who can stop Nanyang’s letter?”
"Maybe he's busy or has nothing to do." Chu Yan said.
Ever since An Huajin left Beijing and came to his residence to say goodbye, they had only exchanged one letter, and now they have not exchanged letters for a long time.
"If you don't get any more letters, I'll have to ask that boy in Huai'an if that stinky girl is sending him letters every day and forgetting about me, an old man." The old Nanyang King said with a taste, "Hey, I'm getting old, and there are no young men.
He's so handsome, but his granddaughter doesn't like to talk to him."
Chu Yan laughed out loud.
Ever since the old King Nanyang came to his mansion, he often made him laugh. They said that having an old man in the family is like a treasure. His grandfather is really a treasure. Even the servants in the mansion are much more lively.
The old King of Nanyang didn't know that while he was eating, Gu Qingyan, a young man, had only received one letter from An Huajin in this period of time. That letter was written in a hurry and only contained one sentence. However, that night, Gu Qingyan received a second letter from An Huajin.
This letter is equally short and concise, "I have found out an old grudge involving Zhang Zaifu. Thanks to Huai'an, I will get Zhang Zaifu out of the prison and send someone to Nanyang City."
Signed An Huajin.
After Gu Qingyan received An Huajin's letter, he really confirmed that even if something big happened not to Nanyang, it was to An Huajin because it involved getting Zhang Zaifu out of the prison and sending him to Nanyang City. Gu Qingyan held the letter and looked at the letter. For a moment, her whole body suddenly became silent.
An Yining raised his head from the desk and looked at Gu Qingyan. Seeing that he remained motionless for a long time, his whole person was in a strange and very quiet atmosphere. He was very puzzled. The last time his aunt wrote a letter, his uncle held the letter and read it.
It took less than half an hour, but it was not such a very quiet atmosphere. At that time, he had an expression of great relief on his face, and his eyes looked at the letter again and again. Instead of blinking now, his whole body
It's unusual to see that no part of his body is moving.
He watched for a while and saw that Gu Qingyan was motionless, as if he had melted into the quiet time. He couldn't help but call him cautiously, "Little uncle."
He shouted three times before Gu Qingyan moved, slowly raised his head and looked at An Yining.
How should An Yining describe the moment when Gu Qingyan's eyes were focused? He couldn't describe it. He just felt as if his soul had not returned to its original place. He suddenly became nervous and asked cautiously, "Little uncle, he belongs to little aunt."
A letter? But what happened? I think something’s not right with you..."
Gu Qingyan's pupils shrank and slowly focused. It seemed to take a long time before his soul returned to its original position. He slowly and softly said, "Your little aunt, she... probably doesn't want me anymore."
"Ah?" An Yining was startled and stood up in shock.
Gu Qingyan lowered her eyelashes, put down the letter, and remained motionless again.
An Yining was frightened for a while, then kicked off the chair, came to the opposite side, and looked at the letter Gu Qingyan put on the table.
When he saw it, he was even more surprised. There was nothing written in the letter? It was just a sentence. It was something my aunt asked my uncle to do. He really didn't understand. Where did it say that he was no longer wanted?<
/p>
He wanted to stretch out his hand to touch Gu Qingyan's forehead, and wanted to ask his uncle, "Are you not feverish? Are your eyes clear?" He obviously didn't say "no", but he didn't dare to reach out, he just said in confusion.
Asked, "Little uncle, no, my little aunt didn't say anything? How did you... see that?"
Don't scare him!
He always thought that because of the relationship between his uncle and his aunt, he would dare to end his relationship with you.
Gu Qingyan raised his head again and closed his eyes, "She didn't say it. I'm afraid I will receive these two words sooner or later."
An Yining: "..."
It’s his fault that he’s young, I really don’t understand! Can my uncle’s plan be calculated in the future?
