He Yan was still in a trance until he got on the carriage that left the palace.
Fei Nu was an honest man, driving the carriage silently, while the young man sat beside him. The jade pendant in his hand was originally cold, but now it is tightly gripped, and it seems to be hot.
Xiao Jue's eyes fell on her hand, and she raised her eyebrows, "Are you going to crush it?"
He Yan's strength was learned by throwing stone locks on the martial arts field. She froze for a moment, and subconsciously spread her hands, not knowing what to do.
This is a two-color jade gifted by the Queen Mother, one for Xiao Jing and one for Xiao Jue. I heard that it is the heirloom of their Xiao family. What Lin Shuanghe said, this jade pendant Xiao Jue never leaves her body. She snatched it once in Liangzhou Wei when she was drunk. Knowing that it was a rare item, she gave it back to Xiao Jue.
He Yan had never received such an expensive gift, so he hesitated for a moment, and said, "The Governor... This is not suitable for me, is it?"
Xiao Jue took the black serpentine jade in her hand, lowered her head, took off the tassels from He Yan's waist, and replaced it with this black jade. His movements were gentle, his expression was careful, and his tone was clear and light, "The elder brother gave the elder sister-in-law the piece. You and I have a marriage contract, so I should give it to you."
engagement…
He Yan's face turned red again.
In the abandoned palace just now, what Xiao Jue said to her was impossible to think about. If I think about it, I feel like the fireworks I saw secretly for the first time after the New Year's Eve when I was a child. It flew into the sky with a "bang" and turned into countless dazzling stars in the sky. Always remember that moment of surprise.
Trying to keep himself from thinking about it, He Yan said, "Are we going back to Xiao Mansion now?"
Hearing the word "return", Xiao Jue quietly hooked his lips and said, "Go to your house."
"my home?"
"You are a woman," Xiao Jue lowered her eyes. "No one knew that you lived in Xiao's house before. Once today is over, someone will definitely find out about the He's house. If you live in my house, there will be people talking about it."
He doesn't care what other people think, but He Yan can't do it, nor can He Sui and He Yunsheng. Nowadays, the relationship between men and women is not as clear as it was in the past, but before they got married, they lived in a foreigner's mansion, and it was not good for He Yan to speak out.
"Yes." He Yan nodded. Thinking of going back to He's house next, he had another headache. He Yunsheng urged her to resign immediately. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the identity of the woman being exposed, but for He Sui and He Yunsheng, it should also be a big shock.
"Don't worry," Xiao Jue reminded, seeming to see her worry, "At the celebration banquet, someone had already rushed to the He family to congratulate you. Your father and younger brother should already know about it."
He Yan was relieved.
He Sui and He Yunsheng really knew it.
Not long ago, He Yunsheng was still reading in the house, and He Sui came back from her employer's house and took a bath with some water. Qingmei had just washed the starch of the clothes the two of them had changed, when she heard someone knocking on the door.
On their street, they are all small business people, and they are not rich people. It is so late, and every household has closed their doors. Qingmei is a girl after all. He Sui took an oil lamp to open the door, and He Yunsheng was worried. If something happens, he also closes the book and follows his father in his outer clothes.
Who knew that as soon as the door opened, a long line of people followed outside, all dressed as servants in the palace. He Yunsheng's heart "squeaked", thinking only that something happened to He Yan? Her official position as "Wu'an Lang" is easy, but it is not a long-term solution.
He Sui was also at a loss. He Yunsheng had not told his father that He Yan had been promoted in order to be afraid of his worries. He Sui only thought that the Fan family was making trouble again, and immediately asked, "The officials are..."
"Congratulations, Mr. He, Mr. He Xihe!" The headed waiter looked beaming, and ordered the people to carry the box behind him into the yard, "Master He has raised a good daughter, Miss He is a woman who will not let her men, she was in Jiyang Shui before. In the battle of Zhan and Rundu defending the city, you won a lot of battles, your Majesty added Miss He as the Marquis of Wu'an, and gave another marriage, I think General Feng Yun will come to the door soon, and the miscellaneous family will congratulate in advance!"
He Yunsheng took a deep breath.
This street is not that wide, and at night, anyone who beats children, couples and quarrels can be heard clearly. These inner servants are too big, and the neighbors have long heard the movement. Some are hiding in the door and look out secretly through the crack of the door, and some simply open the door to watch the fun. At this moment, the waiter was talking about it, and everyone didn't quite understand it, but one thing was clear. The eldest girl of the He family didn't die. !
He Sui only knew that He Yan had returned to the capital now. Because of his inconvenient status, he temporarily lived in a friend's house. He thought that He Yan was a deserter and did not dare to speak out. Now, one after another, people are confused, and they don't know where to ask.
On the other hand, He Yunsheng's mind was active, and just when he heard the inner servant say "daughter", he knew that He Yan's female identity could not be hidden. But these people were talking about His Majesty's award. Did they not intend to investigate He Yan's crime of bullying the king? This is a bit surprising, but He Yunsheng couldn't care less about it at the moment, so he just asked, "Master? You said that my sister was given a marriage? Whom did she marry?"
He Sui also regained his senses at this time. The Marquis of Wu'an and Wu'an are not the most important thing. He hasn't even said a word as a father, how can he find someone who doesn't know the details to marry at will? I have heard of the pie falling from the sky, but I have never heard of the son-in-law falling from the sky!
"Master He, don't worry, the miscellaneous family said that General Feng Yun will be here immediately."
"...You mean," He Yunsheng said in disbelief, "General Feng Yun?"
"Exactly!"
At this moment, the galloping sound of the carriage was heard not far away, and when everyone looked towards the end of the street, they saw a gorgeous carriage coming from the darkness. The driver was a tall guard, who was different from ordinary guards at first glance. , Just look at the face to be more handsome.
The servant said with a smile: "It's not like this is coming."
The carriage stopped at the entrance of He's house, and all the neighbors got the news at this moment. In the middle of the night, they put on their clothes and got up from the bed to look at the noble. I saw a man and a woman getting off the carriage, and the woman was He Yan. Growing up on this street, all the neighbors watched He Yan grow up. Today, she is wearing men's clothes, but her hair is loose, and her face has been cleaned of disguise. She looks clean, beautiful, and has a bit of heroism that she had not seen before. There was a young man in the middle who looked a little dazed, thinking that the eldest young lady of the He family was beautiful before, but she was not so beautiful, but now it is a bit dazzling.
And the young man who helped her get off the carriage and stood beside him made all the girls and daughters-in-law on the street blushed. This young man was also wearing an official uniform, with a handsome and handsome appearance. At first glance, he looked like a noble person from the palace. In their corners, it was like a shining gem.
When the servant saw Xiao Jue, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Captain Xiao, the Marquis of Wu'an is courteous."
I don't know if it was the heartless neighbor who yelled, "Dudu Xiao, this is Dudu Xiao, Lao He's son-in-law!"
"Captain Xiao, is it really that General Feng Yun?"
"Where is where? I want to see and I want to see!"
He Yan: "..."
Xiao Jue has become a rare animal here, and everyone should watch it. The servant also smiled: "The Governor, the miscellaneous family's words have been brought to the palace, so I will return to the palace." Looking at He Sui, who was still in great shock and couldn't return to his senses, he felt a little disgusted in his heart. How could he choose such a family? , Look at this husband-in-law is just a rude warrior, and even the errands don't know to invite in for a cup of tea when he arrives, he is really a country bumpkin.
The next moment, Fei Nu consciously stepped forward, saying that he had worked hard, and handed a small piece of silver to one of the servants who were present today. The servant in the lead held a cloth bag with extra heavy fingers and was satisfied. But the son-in-law is generous and caring for others. After returning to the palace, let's add a few good words in front of the sage!
At this end, He Sui finally came back to his senses and welcomed Xiao Jue and his party into the house. He Yunsheng pushed the neighbors who were trying to enter their house and continue to watch Xiao Jue out the door, "Today is too late, another day, change it. Today, my uncles and aunts will come back another day. Go back and rest." After saying that, he closed the door with force, heaved a sigh of relief with his back behind his back, and then trotted into the hall.
All the lamps in the room were lit, but except for the one that He Yunsheng read at night, which had more oil, there were only three oil lamps in the other room, and one had no oil. Qingmei rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time before she found some broken tea leaves, brewed them hastily, and handed them to Xiao Jue.
He Sui still feels like she is dreaming.
He looked at He Yan, "Yan Yan..." He was speechless again.
"Yunsheng, didn't you tell Dad?" He Yan asked curiously.
He Yunsheng said impatiently, "If I told Daddy, how could he stay at home for so many days, he would have come to find you by himself."
Hey, he didn't even say that, He Yan was in a bit of trouble. How can I say this? She knew what she had done in Jiyang Rundu, and let He Sui know that it would be unacceptable, so she threw this hot potato to He Yunsheng . Now that He Yunsheng hadn't laid the groundwork ahead, she didn't dare to say anything after that.
Xiao Jue glanced at him, "Let me tell you."
The two men of the He family were shocked.
Now, because of the money He Yan gave, the He family does not leak rain or water. It also looks like a serious house, but it can't get rid of the word "simple". That's all for He Yan. After all, he grew up in this house, but Xiao Jue is really out of place when he sits in this house. He Sui feels that his rough rattan chair, which has not even been polished off the barbs, is stained. The exquisite robes of this young master.
Fortunately, this young master didn't have any opinion on their shabby house, nor did he dislike the weak tea brewed from their tea dregs, and there was no patience on his face. The matter of Marquis of Wu'an and Lang of Wu'an was said again.
He Sui's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and several times she took up the tea jar to forcefully suppress her shock. He Yan thought to himself, there is no need to say so in detail.
After Xiao Jue finished talking about the matter, He Yunsheng and He Sui realized that the one who co-authored He Yan's crooked fight was now the first female marquis since the founding of the Wei Dynasty
"But..." He Sui always felt that something was wrong, but today's shocking news came one after another. He couldn't accept it well, and he couldn't think of anything for a while. He had to look at He Yan first, and then look at Xiao Jue.
Whose daughter is like her own, she went out, killed someone, made a merit, became an official, and brought back a man. Originally, when He Yan was infatuated with Fan Cheng, He Sui looked down on Fan Cheng very much. A young man who only knew how to spend his money on the back of his family, he didn't seem to live a peaceful life. My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she is afraid that she will suffer a lot from marrying into the Fan family. Although Fan Cheng didn't marry He Yan as his wife at all.
Later, He Yan almost died for Fan Cheng. After waking up, he gradually forgot about Fan Cheng. He Sui was overjoyed. Later, He Yan left Shuojing to join the army, and He Sui was already prepared for He Yan not to marry, or like himself, to recruit a son-in-law, but he didn't expect it to be so good that he didn't give him this as a father. A little bit of leeway, directly let the current emperor bestow the marriage.
That's the king!
Fortunately, it wasn't some crooked melon and cracked jujube. He Sui secretly looked at Xiao Jue, uh... I've only seen it from a distance before, but this is the first time I've seen it at such a close distance, not to mention other things, this child's parents don't know either. How to be born, how to be born so impeccable. He Sui thought and glanced at He Yunsheng, and suddenly looked away in disappointment, hey, it's really more popular than people.
He Yunsheng was inexplicable.
Seeing that He Sui was staring at Xiao Jue, He Yan was afraid that her father would ask some difficult questions, so she hurriedly said, "It's too late today. I'll talk about it another day." She turned to Xiao Jue again and said: "Eldest Young Master Xiao and Grandma Xiao should have already returned to the manor. They have a lot of questions to ask you. You should go back and explain. It should be bright." She winked at Xiao Jue, "Let's go."
He Sui wanted to ask again, "Yan Yan, father still has questions..."
"I'll answer if I have any questions." He Yan was in a hurry, dragged Xiao Jue up from the chair and pulled him out, but Xiao Jue didn't struggle, and turned his head to He Sui and said, "Uncle, junior, another day. Visit again."
He Sui was shocked by that "uncle", and before he had time to react, Xiao Jue had already been dragged away by He Yan.
"What did he call me just now?" The old father stood in the room and asked his son who was "not as good as others".
He Yunsheng said with contempt, "It's not my father anyway." When Xiao Jue gave him his horse on the racecourse, He Sui also scolded him for being unpromising, and he didn't even look at his current appearance. The word "uncle" made him go round and round.
He is indeed biological.
Xiao Jue was dragged out by He Yan all the way out the door. The neighbors who had just watched the fun had already dispersed. After all, it was a late autumn night. It is midnight when I squat in the corner.
There was no one on the street, Xiao Jue let her drag her and didn't struggle. When he went out, He Yan peeped around like a thief, and let go after confirming that it was safe.
Xiao Jue looked at her calmly and reminded: "Your actions seem to be shameful to me."
He Yan regained his senses and sneered a few times, "People on the street like to watch the fun, and you certainly don't like being stared at, Commander."
Xiao Jue: "I don't hate it."
He Yan thought to himself, only ghosts believe, this person is a loner in the past, so don't you hate it now? Man's mouth is a deceiving ghost.
She looked back at the door again, He Yunsheng and He Sui did not chase after them, Qingmei was well-behaved, and there was no movement at the moment, He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
When I brought Xiao Jue back, I always felt strange, mainly because of the suddenness of Emperor Wenxuan's imperial decree, He Yan himself was not prepared. She pushed Xiao Jue out now, knowing that she was going to say goodbye to Xiao Jue, but she didn't know what to say.
Obviously when he was in Liangzhouwei, he was very comfortable with Jiyang, how come he arrived in Shuojing, and now he can't say a word? Anyway, after spending a few years in the military camp, she was a bit sloppy, but now, she can only say two words: "Good luck."
Xiao Jue laughed.
He Yan asked, "What are you laughing at?"
He bent down slightly, his eyes were level with He Yan, his lips were bent, and he teased with a bit of seriousness, "Miss He's level of deception has regressed."
Terrible.
He Yan said vaguely, "I haven't lied to you."
Xiao Jue stood up straight and rubbed her head, "It's windy here, go back."
He Yan nodded and looked up at him again, feeling a little reluctant for some reason. It was because she had spent a lot of time with Xiao Jue since she joined the army. Now that she has returned to Shuojing and has regained her status as a woman, it is impossible to stay with Xiao Jue when she has nothing to do, not to mention the night. .
As if knowing what she was thinking, Xiao Jue said, "Don't worry, I will come to see you."
He Yan blushed again, and subconsciously replied, "Well, I'll see you too." As soon as the words came out, he realized what he had said, and wished to knock himself out so as to confuse the embarrassing conversation. . Knowing that he didn't know what kind of joke he would make if he stayed longer, He Yan turned around, "Then I'm leaving, Governor, see you another day!"
She entered the house and closed the door.
Xiao Jue stood at the door and looked at the closed door. After a while, he walked to the carriage parked at the corner. Fei Nu skillfully pulled the reins, and the carriage left the alley.
…
The interrogation in the house is not over yet.
There was an outsider just now, Qingmei didn't dare to speak, and now there was no one else in the room, Qingmei hugged her and cried "woo woo woo", "Miss, it's great, you are still alive, the servant thought that she would never see her again. Woohoo, why did you lose so much weight, did you suffer outside? It must be!"
This girl has also grown a lot, and she is as slim as a flower in full bloom, but the character of the crying bag is still the same as before. He Yan can't laugh or cry. Without waiting for He Sui to speak, He Yan said, "Father! I've been tired for a day today and I'm very sleepy. Can I go to bed and go to bed, and I'll explain it to you tomorrow?"
He Sui loves this daughter the most, and He Yan wants all the stars in the sky to be picked off for her. Hearing He Yan said that he is tired, he is very distressed. Yan Yan goes to bed first, and I will talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to do."
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she answered the questions one by one, I'm afraid she won't have to sleep today. Besides, she hadn't figured out how to answer it, and she had to spend a night thinking about it.
After finally coaxing Qingmei into laughter, He Sui sent him over. After He Yan briefly groomed in the yard, when he returned to the house, he saw the young master of the He family sitting on a chair, looking like he was asking his teacher for guilt.
He Yan closed the door behind him, "Yunsheng, are you going to catch mice in my room?"
He Yunsheng's face was cold, "I'm not as easy to fool as my father, He Yan, tell me clearly, for no reason, why did you marry yourself?"
The tone of these words, he is not like a brother, like a brother.
"Don't talk nonsense, His Majesty asked me to marry." He Yan walked to the side of the slump and sat down. Although the He family's bed was hard, her mattress was made soft by green plums.
He Yunsheng sneered: "You said earlier that you lived in a friend's house. Could it be General Feng Yun's mansion?"
He Yan: "..." The child is old, so it's not easy to cheat.
He Yunsheng was furious: "He Yan!"
"When I lived in his mansion, I didn't know that I would be given a marriage." He Yan tried to appease the restless young master, "And we don't live in a room, what does it matter?"
"You are a woman!"
"Yunsheng, I joined the army before, do you know? When I was in Liangzhou Wei, my brothers and I all lived in a single bed with a dozen people on one bed. There is a difference between men and women. For me, it is too much. It's hypocritical, and it's impossible to do it."
He Yun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
The sisters of other families all abide by the etiquette, not He Yunsheng is pedantic, if it is someone else, that's all, but it is Xiao Jue. Those other people are so good, and if they say something bad, people with eyes will think that their He family has climbed high. He Yan thought it was simple, what if Xiao Jue or the Xiao family despised her because of this
This world is difficult for women. Terrible!
But seeing He Yan yawning nonchalantly in front of him, He Yunsheng's heart softened again.
... Well, it's good to be able to come back alive. Listening to what Xiao Jue said, every war He Yan participated in was so dangerous and suffered so much, so why bother with others.
However, young people are still very concerned about another thing.
He asked, "Since it's a marriage gift, does that General Feng Yun like you?"
He Yan had a meal.
What Xiao Jue said when he was in the palace came to mind.
Not fake. Those words he said in the temple are not false, that is, the "favorite person" is true. She looked down at the jade pendant on her waist. The giant python on the jade pendant was dangerous and docile, entrenched in the clouds and mist, like a magnificent dream.
"The moon is yours."
After all this time, it still sounds so heartwarming. only…
He Yan suddenly widened his eyes.
How did Xiao Jue know that he was the "moon"
