Chapter 76
The two chatted about some interesting things about Jiangnan, and after a while someone came to report that Yu Shinan had already returned, and asked them both to go to the study.

The two got up and went to the study room. Yu Shinan just took off his coat and was kneeling on the cushion facing the brazier to keep warm.

"I met Master Yu."

"I saw my father."

The two bowed down and saluted.

Yu Shinan was nearly forty years old, with white hair and a childlike face, with a long beard on his chin, and he spoke with great air, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

The two sat down, and Yu Shinan said: "It snowed in Guanzhong at the end of October this year, and there should be a good harvest next year. It's just colder, and there is not even a brazier in the Ministry of Rites, which makes me feel awkward. Jiangnan is better. , I don’t know when I will be able to return to the banks of the Huaihe River.”

The servants came up with a food tripod, which contained oranges.

"Try it, these are all brought over from Lingnan County by water, and they are all fresh." Yu Shinan peeled one by himself, eating the citrus, feeling better on an empty stomach.

Although Yu Shinan was honest in front of outsiders, he didn't have so much politeness in front of his son and disciples.

Jiang Chengxiao peeled the citrus, ate a piece, nodded and said: "It's really good, no wonder His Majesty thought about moving the capital again and again, Jiangnan is indeed a good place."

It is not a secret that the emperor wants to move the capital. The emperor mentioned it once this month, and the courtiers used various reasons to evade it. However, the biggest resistance is that the nobles in Guanzhong did not fight back strongly this time. The matter of moving the capital must be settled within a year or two. Down.

Yu Shinan laughed, "Your Majesty did not move the capital for the sake of appetite. Besides, the fact that the capital was moved to Luoyang did not change much in terms of geography. Since the first emperor, the waterways in Guanzhong and other places in the south of the Yangtze River have been connected. It can also be transported to Chang'an."

Jiang Chengxiao naturally knew exactly why, but he couldn't say it out.

Yu Shinan looked at him and said: "Today I met Zhao Wang in the court and asked him about your injury. He said that there is no serious problem, so the old man did not go. Now that you are really fine, the old man is relieved."

"Trouble Master Yu is worried." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile: "It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem."

Yu Shinan nodded, put down the orange peel in his hand, and said earnestly to him: "The old man knows that you are young and energetic, and you can't bear to be wronged. It's just that His Majesty severely punished Bing Guogong's family this time. You must not harbor resentment and make trouble for them."

"Master Yu, don't worry, Qingque will save it."

"Okay, I'll just say this." Yu Shinan continued: "No matter what happened before, but His Majesty is very fond of Duke Sheng, do you understand?"

He understood what Yu Shinan said, and it was nothing more than asking him to focus on the overall situation.The emperor valued Changsun Sheng, so as his son-in-law, he would naturally be able to reap some benefits.Don't let the relationship between the two be too stiff, it's better to be more harmonious.

"I understand." Jiang Chengxiao said: "Mr. Sheng is so powerful that Turks are so powerful, and Qing Que also admires them very much. It will be a blessing if we can fight Turks together with him in the future."

"Hahaha." Yu Shinan said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you can understand. It's not good to show off your power for a while, it's better to take a step back."

At this time, Yu Qing said with a smile: "Father, I was still talking about next year with Qingque just now. This time, Qingque was named the Duke of Langya County by His Majesty. If I go to another place next year, I also want to go and experience it for a while." fan."

Yu Shinan stroked his long beard with his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Well, this is feasible. But if you go to Langya County to take up the post, you have to be careful. The land in Shandong just happened to experience the turmoil caused by the rebellion of the King of Han, and the people everywhere must feel uneasy. If you go to Langya County, You have to remember to appease the people."

Jiang Chengxiao said: "This is nothing. In the past, His Majesty was worried about my poor health. Now that this happened again, I am afraid that His Majesty is even more reluctant for me to leave Chang'an."

"That's true." Yu Shinan thought for a while, and smiled: "You don't have to worry. Now that you are an adult, you will have to go out to practice sooner or later. No matter how reluctant your majesty is, he will let you go out. You escaped from Qi County some time ago. As for the matter, His Majesty has said several times that you are quick-witted and that you are a leader in the clan."

The three of them all smiled, and then chatted about the wedding. When they finally left, Jiang Chengxiao solemnly sent two invitation cards to Yu Shinan and his son.

"Don't worry, Qingque, the old man will definitely go in two days."

Changsun Mansion, in the boudoir of the Changsun family.

She knelt on the couch, and lay quietly on the couch in her bright red wedding dress.People say marriage is important, and people say marriage is happy, but she is not very happy at the moment, let alone joy.Just like what her father said, after these things happened, what kind of woman could she be in Jiang Chengxiao's mind?

She had met Princess Zhao Zheng, she was a very respectful mistress, she was notorious now, if she married her, not only her husband would not be able to get along well, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would also make her difficult.

Who can she blame?
Before, she could blame the emperor for messing up the mandarin ducks, but she single-handedly facilitated the matter of Qiu Lie, which not only harmed Bing Guogong's family, but also injured Jiang Chengxiao for no reason.

"Oh~" Changsun sighed with lowered eyebrows.

Looking at the bright red clothes, I feel extremely dazzling and feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

The servant girl Pei'er came in and gave a gift, "Lady, someone from Prince Zhao's Mansion has sent a betrothal gift. As expected of the Palace, there are some rare and rare objects that I have never seen before. The aunts are very greedy. Some time ago They are still talking sarcasticly, but now seeing how solemn Zhao Wangfu is, all of them have changed their faces, and they are all boasting that the lady has a good home."

The Changsun family remained silent, as there was no good home for them.

Pei'er stepped forward and knelt down, while pinching Changsun's calf, she said: "Someone said over there that the prince chose Xuanshang. What Madam means is that we have to go along with it."

Xuan Shang?

Changsun showed a wry smile, that's fine.She touched the red dress with a melancholy expression. It was sewn by her own hands, but it was not for him, but for another person.Now that he has chosen Xuanshang, she just doesn't need it.

"Pearl, bring the scissors here."

Pei'er didn't understand what he meant, but she still went into the inner room, took out the scissors and handed them to Mrs. Changsun.

I saw Mrs. Changsun resolutely cut off the wedding dress that she had mended by herself for many years.

Pei'er was startled and said: "What are you doing, lady, this is yours..."

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Changsun interrupted, with a faint smile, "I boasted that I was smart, but I harmed three people. If I break it, I will break it. I can't go on wrong."

Every time she cut a knife, she forced herself to forget the past. She was not as shameless as the outside world said, and she was not a slutty woman.

She didn't know if the man who was about to become her husband would believe her.

If she doesn't believe it, what should she do?
She panicked a little, as if thinking of the dark life after marriage.She also thought of his disregard for her that night, his cruelty to Li Anmin, if he beat her with fists...

Changsun's eyes were moist, and there was both ignorant fear of future life and inexplicable panic.

As if she had stepped into the water, she watched herself sinking helplessly.

The movement of her hands stopped, but she whimpered softly.

Pei'er hurriedly tried to persuade her, "What's the matter, my lady, she's going to get married in two days, so don't cry and swell your eyes."

Changsun didn't answer, but just lowered his head and wiped his tears, gasping for breath, followed by a violent cough, and then faintly breathed out.

Pei'er hurriedly gave her chest qi, and persuaded her: "Lady, calm down, don't let the qi disease happen."

……

Compared with Chang Sun's worries, Jiang Chengxiao didn't have any premarital syndrome.In his opinion, this marriage is nothing more than marrying someone back. Zhao Wang's mansion is so big, can't it support a woman?

After leaving Yu Mansion, he took people to Wuhefang to look at the house.
