That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 514

A temple is like a house that is ventilated on all sides, except for those old things buried deep under the ground, there are not many secrets to speak of.

Although no outsiders were present at the father-daughter conversation yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Princess left together during the Mid-Autumn Banquet, but it still fell into the eyes of those who cared about it. Thinking of the rumor about the old man Han Ge and Duanmu Duanmu, it was easy to figure out taste, so on the second day, a news quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.

Her Royal Highness's marriage has been settled, and she will get married soon, and it is likely that she will be the son of Mr. Han Ge.

Now the imperial capital knows more or less the details of this prime minister. His surname is Xu, his first name is Beiyou, and his style name is Nangui. He is known as Mr. Xu of Jiangdu. He is a child of a very powerful sect in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhong Mou is now the first disciple of the Sword Sect. It is said that he has set foot in the realm of the earth and fairyland at the age of a weak crown. He even took the Daoshu workshop into his pocket, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he covered the sky with one hand in Jiangdu.

There are also gossip rumors that not only Duanmu's young master failed in Jiangnan, but Xu Yi, the king of Xihe County, also went to Jiangdu not long ago. The emperor Xu met Mr. Jiangdu. The strong dragon can't beat the local snake. The same did not go well on the site.

After the news came back to the imperial capital, it became lively all of a sudden. The big dudes in the imperial capital are xenophobic and never pay attention to the children of officials and eunuchs from other places and the children of aristocratic families. Duanmuyu and Xu Yi are the leading figures among them. A loss, which made many princes of the imperial capital feel ashamed. Several people who were as important as Xu Yi wanted to meet this prince Xu of Jiangdu for a while, but they were not fully sure and were unable to implement it.

Now there is news that this foreigner is going to marry Her Royal Highness, which is completely blown up. Naturally, what is the identity of Her Royal Highness, although "accompanying the prince to study" and "being the princess' son-in-law" have always been regarded as two major hardships. However, there is also hidden wealth and honor in it, and Her Royal Highness has an appearance that is not inferior to heaven and man, so many sons of the imperial capital still have the mentality of "surmounting difficulties".If Duanmuyu married her back home, that would be fine, and she could comfort herself that her family background was not as good as others. After all, the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, so it is tolerable or unbearable to want to be cut off halfway by a foreigner.

You are overwhelmed in the Jiangdu, you can't beat you, we admit it, but if you want to come to the imperial capital, then we have to worry about it, because they say that a strong dragon can't beat a snake, and you, a dragon crossing the river, can beat us who never A local snake that has been entrenched here since birth?

Many princes of the imperial capital don't believe it, but there is one person who does.

Xiao Zhinan believed that the young man who came out of the Northwest, the young man who had nothing, could completely beat these peers who were born rich.

In late autumn, the chrysanthemums in the garden of the Princess Mansion are in full bloom, and many of them are treasures brought in as tributes from all over the world. The colors compete with each other, making it difficult to see that this is the autumn when everything is withered, and it is more like spring when all flowers are in full bloom. Every day Xiao Zhinan hid in his mansion, did not go out for half a step, and spent most of the time in the gazebo in the garden looking at these chrysanthemums in a daze.

Today, August [-]th, is the day when Xu Beiyou went to the small hills, and at the same time, the princess mansion also welcomed a distinguished guest.

There are chrysanthemums outside the pavilion, and inside the pavilion are two princesses, one is the eldest princess, and the other is the princess. If you add the eldest princess who lived for a long time, the only three princesses in Daqi are counted. Got it all together.

Xiao Yuyi was very well-informed about Xiao Zhinan's affairs, so he made a special trip to visit him today to see his niece.

Xiao Zhinan is so smart, so he naturally understood the purpose of his aunt's visit, so he took the initiative to say: "Auntie, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August [-]th, my father summoned me and said that he had chosen a marriage for me, and asked me what I would like."

"Is it the son of Han Xuan's family?" Xiao Yuyi picked up the teacup and gently blew away the rising heat.

Xiao Zhinan smiled subtly, nodded and said: "It is indeed Xu Nangui, it seems that Han Ge's face is really not ordinary, and his father made up his mind so happily, this is much earlier than I expected, I thought Father would make a decision only after meeting Nan Gui himself."

Her smile was a bit bitter: "Even though my father once asked me what I wanted, I still feel uncomfortable. He just handed over his daughter like this? I was a little caught off guard."

Xiao Yuyi took a sip of tea, "The emperor is like this, they don't care what you think, they don't think about whether you like it or not, they only think about what they think, whether they like it or not, otherwise how could there be such a thing?" Many people want to be emperor."

Xiao Zhinan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "Auntie's statement... really hits the nail on the head."

Xiao Yuyi said flatly: "You should have figured this out a long time ago. Once you enter that imperial city and sit on that chair, you are no longer a human being, but a god."

Xiao Zhinan sighed, "Easier to know than to do."

Xiao Zhinan murmured: "However, I can't blame my father, after all, I chose it myself, but I don't know whether this choice is right or wrong."

Xiao Yuyi said softly: "I didn't want to say it at first, but seeing how you are worried about gain and loss, it's better to say it out. The way of getting along with a husband and wife is not difficult to say, simple but not easy to say. Although I am an elder here It's not as satisfactory in terms of aspects, but at least it's better than you. You must know that this man, whether he is powerful or unknown, old or young, hero or bear, has a childish air. Sometimes you control him strictly. I don’t want to make him do anything, but what he wants to do is to sing against you. The queen mother is amazing, right? Back then, she was called the world’s most jealous woman, but in the end she still couldn’t control her father and made him a queen. Concubine, of course, you can't let him go too much, or he will think you are a talkative person, and you will spend all day messing around with flowers and grass, and you will lose your life."

Xiao Zhinan's face flushed slightly, he didn't expect that his aunt would say something about how to control a husband, the previous panic dissipated a lot, and a little more shyness that a woman should have when she is about to marry.

Xiao Zhinan blushed and lowered his head to drink tea, Xiao Yuyi didn't make fun of her, but just sighed slightly in his heart, these words were supposed to be said by the sister-in-law, but their mother and daughter were born at odds, there was nothing anyone could do about it , can only be said by myself.

She paused for a while, and then said: "Men are good-faced. If there is any conflict in normal times, talk about it behind closed doors. Don't put on face to him in front of others, or even if he doesn't say it on the face, he will still be worried about it in his heart." Annoyed, if there is a pimple in my heart, this life will be difficult."

"Furthermore, there is no right or wrong between husband and wife. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. There must be someone who takes a step back. Twist your fingers softly, softness does not necessarily mean weakness, and retreating does not necessarily mean losing, sometimes retreating can be advancing."

Although these words sound plain and unremarkable, they are all good words summed up by generations of women. Xiao Zhinan kept nodding his head to mark them down.

"Since the young master of the Xu family was taught by Mr. Han Ge and Gongsun Zhongmou himself, I think it will be all right. You are not considered blind marriages, and you are in front of the imperial capital. What are you afraid of?"

Xiao Yuyi pampered Xiao Zhinan's head, and said softly: "After marrying that Mr. Xu, live a good life, and don't follow the old aunt's path."
