Chapter 95 Knowing and knowing the propriety

This letter is not from my father.

"I know you don't want to go home now. The letters from your grandfather and father didn't move you. You don't like this marriage. It reminds you of Xiaobei."

Xiang Nan pursed his lips and stood up, asking the soldier who had brought the letter home to sit down. He pointed out a few mud-ball sparrows rolling beside them. The two of them were chatting and laughing while burning the sparrows in the brazier. Xiang Nan took the letter and walked aside.

Keep reading.

"You think Xiaobei died of illness because his family arranged a marriage for him. It is undeniable that if the marriage had not been arranged for him, Xiaobei would not have gone to Kuang's house that day and would not have contracted the disease. Xiaobei would still be alive now, but you have to understand,

It was the illness that caused Xiaobei's death, not the incident."

"You have to think about whether you don't like this marriage or the way your parents ordered you to do it. However, your father said that you are an unfilial son and I don't agree. Xiaonan, I watched you grow up. Since Xiaobei is gone,

, you have shouldered the responsibilities of both of you brothers, you have studied and practiced martial arts, and you are even more filial to your parents."

"This marriage was not chosen by your parents, but by me. Governor Li chose me to provide Miss Minglou with lifelong support. I chose you because I wanted you to be in harmony. If it was just for marriage, you are not the only nephew in the family.

.”

"Miss Minglou is not an ordinary girl. If you really don't like her after contacting her, breaking the engagement is not a problem for her."

This is really tempting. Xiang Nan raised his eyebrows and smiled. It's a pity that Uncle Liu didn't know that he had already tried this. Miss Minglou was indeed not an ordinary girl. Even if it was something she didn't want, she would still catch it.

in hand.

"If you don't like it, I won't let you ruin your life. Life is too short, and your life is not just yours."

Xiang Nan lowered his gaze in silence. Xiang Yun was a very good elder. He was kind to his nephews and juniors and rarely acted like an elder. One year, someone even burned a good bow for Xiang Bei in front of his grave.

Even parents can't do this to show such concern for their dead nephew who is of no use to the family.

Xiang Nan raised his eyes and continued reading the letter.

"Your marriage to Minglou is also related to the current situation. Jiannan Road is being watched by countless people waiting for an opportunity to carve it up. As a member of Governor Li, if Jiannan Road is divided, Longyou will no longer exist."

"Now that Governor Li still has some power, the two of us can work together to stabilize Jiannan Road so that we can coexist. There can be no more trouble at this moment. A slight movement can give others an opportunity."

"Recently, the world is not peaceful. Some bandits dare to fight against the officers and soldiers. Not long ago, the bandits robbed Minglou of his dowry. The names of Jiannan Road and Longyou did not deter them at all."

Xiang Nan turned to his companions and asked, "Have bandits caused trouble again recently?"

The soldier who brought the message put the torn bird meat into his mouth: "Yeah, it seems that a big shot in Henan was robbed, and there was quite a big fuss."

"Then who is causing the big trouble?" Another soldier hunched his shoulders and laughed, "Is it the bandits or the big shot?"

Sometimes, the trouble caused by big shots is as big as that of mountain bandits, causing headaches for local officials.

Whether it was the embarrassment of the big shot or the government, the two soldiers could talk and laugh in high spirits. Xiang Nan stopped asking. Now he knew the details much more clearly than the two soldiers.

The team in Jiannan Road was actually robbed. The situation now is indeed getting more and more chaotic. The adults in the court are busy fighting, and the local officials just want to whitewash the peace. It is better to do less than to do more.

Jiannan Road and Longyou dared to bully even mountain bandits in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Maybe the bandits were ignorant, but they still made Jiannan Road and Longyou lose their reputation, especially now that Jiannan Road still has a baby Jiedu Envoy.

Uncle Liu is very busy again.

If Miss Minglou makes trouble again when she arrives in Taiyuan Mansion...

Xiang Yun has been subordinated to Li Fengan his whole life, and he has finally been able to take charge of his own affairs. It is really disappointing to be dragged into this by a kid like Li Mingyu.

Isn't it just to welcome her in? Let her see clearly that her forceful marriage will have no impact on her.

Xiang Nan put the letter away without reading the rest of the content, and called his personal attendant to pack his things.

He followed his orders and warned: "Master, please don't leave me alone this time."

Xiang Nan ignored him, walked to the door and asked again: "Have there been any other letters from home recently?"

I thought about it and shook my head.

Xiang Jiuding would tell him a lot of messy trivial matters. He hadn't received a letter from Xiang Jiuding for a while. It seemed that he was exhausted mentally and physically from the schedule of serving that woman.

Xiang Nan stopped asking and turned around and walked out.

"Xiang Nan, do you want to take leave and go home to celebrate the New Year?" two soldiers shouted.

"Yes." Xiang Nan's voice called back from outside, "If you go back this time, you won't have to go back for a long time."

The camp tent was raised and lowered, the cold wind was biting, and the two soldiers moved closer to the brazier.

"Just go back when you go back. Nothing happened recently."

"Yes, we said earlier that we would mobilize our troops to the capital, but now there is no movement."

"The new festival makes it hard for people to choose."

"It's time to make a decision. I heard that Wu Zhang, the governor of Xuzhou, was planning to go to Beijing."

"No matter what our affairs are, we can have a comfortable New Year without having to travel around in the winter."

The New Year is always the most important thing, especially in places far away from bandits. The cold winter is diluted by the festive atmosphere, the roads become wider and the towns become denser.

Outside Taiyuan Mansion, it feels like Chinese New Year.

There were a lot of pedestrians coming and going, but this did not affect the convoy's schedule.

They were the only ones driving on the broad road. Passers-by, whether rich or poor, were blocked on both sides. People from the Xiang family greeted them thirty miles away. Officials from Taiyuan Prefecture, dignitaries in the city, and their wives were waiting in front of the city gate, with colorful flags.

Zhaozhan, the pure land paved the way, Li Mingqi entered Taiyuan Mansion as if a god descended to earth.

Even though there were so many people greeting her, no one asked her to get out of the car to meet her. Li Fengjing entertained the people of the Xiang family, and the Xiang family entertained the people of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Nian'er sat in the car with her throat raised.

"Is that the prefect?"

"Ah, that lady is the eldest lady of the Xiang family."

She no longer dared to look and pressed the doors and windows tightly. With so many high officials and elders coming, did Li Mingqi really not have to get out of the car to pay homage?

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Li Mingqi said. The carriage was sealed and cut off from the noise from the outside world. "How could the Xiang family be rude when the eldest lady is like this?"

And no one will blame the eldest lady for her rudeness.

Nian'er breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had adapted along the way, but when she saw this scene, she was so frightened that she forgot that she was the eldest lady's girl now, so she looked outside indifferently like the eldest lady's girl, and said, "It seems to be Xiang Xiang.

The old man is here too! Invite the fourth master to meet Feng Yan."

The old man of the Xiang family? He has come to pick up the younger generation in person.

Li Mingqi put down the hand stove: "People in the Xiang family will not be rude, and the eldest lady cannot be rude either."

.....

...

A girl suddenly jumped out of a carriage parked in front of the city gate, which silenced the noisy surroundings.

No one seemed to be looking at the carriage, but in fact all eyes were on it.

Li Fengjing, who was talking to Mr. Xiang, was the last one he saw. When he saw it, the woman in the carriage had already come down wrapped in a cloak.

It was quiet in front of the city gate, but the winter wind became noisy. It rushed over and bumped into the woman who got out of the car. Li Mingqi raised her hand to cover her face with an ouch and turned her head. The wind rolled up her sleeves and hit her face, knocking off her hood.

come down

In the haze of winter, under the spotlight, the beautiful faces of young girls bloom like spring flowers.

The silence subsided and the crowd became commotion.
