In the golden autumn season, the wind is gentle and peaceful.

People are coming and going on Changwu Street in Yancheng, and vendors are shouting one after another, making it a bustling and lively scene.

In the Feihe Tower lounge on the street, a servant with a strong body and a simple face laughed in a low voice: "If the young master knew that the prince came to pick him up in person, he would be very happy."

Xie Changyu looked through the gap in the slightly opened window at the attic towering among the green mountains in the distance, and said "hmm" calmly.

It has been more than two years since he and his father went to the northeastern border after receiving Emperor Xuanwu's imperial decree to control Youyun.

I went back to the capital once and brought my son here.

Xie Huan has been frail since he was a child. In recent years, Xie Changyu has been stationed at the border. On the one hand, the border is very cold and miserable. On the other hand, the military affairs are busy, so Xie Changyu cannot take his child with him.

When I saw the child properly, he was already five years old.

Xie Changyu has suffered many hardships with his father and mother since he was a child. Along the way, he has seen countless families broken up and killed, with corpses strewn across the fields. Now he is stationed in one place... He has developed an iron will over the years.

He was used to being alone, used to a boring and monotonous life, and used to having affairs in the military that were overwhelming.

Even when I first saw the child, I felt very little warmth in my heart.

When I came to Youyun before, I left my children in the capital, thinking that my family in the capital would be there and I could take care of them.

Unexpectedly, when he returned after a year, his concubine died in childbirth, and Xie Huan cried and threw herself into his arms...

Xie Changyu looked at the tearful child and was deeply moved in his heart.

Since he is a husband and father, he has to be responsible for women and children, instead of focusing on state and military affairs without giving them any thought.

So he took Xie Huan with him and brought him to Youyun.

Yancheng is the largest city in Youyun, and the military camp is thirty miles east of Yanjun.

There is the most famous Qingyun Academy in Youyun in Yancheng, and Xie Huan is currently studying in the academy.

The academy has a break every half month for two days at a time.

Today happens to be the time to take a break from school.

Xie Changyu finished handling the complicated military affairs and was waiting at Feihe Tower, preparing to pick up his son.

The servant next to him is called Lei Jun. He is the eldest member of the Lei family chosen by his parents. He is a few years older than Xie Changyu.

Lei Jun had some luck and got married at an early age, and his family has always been with the army.

Now, Lei Jun has a son and a daughter, both of whom are quite young, so it's time for them to get married.

Lei Jun was also a cheerful and talkative person. As he sat down, he talked to Xie Changyu about the jokes of the soldiers in the camp, as well as some trivial matters at home about the disobedience of his sons and daughters.

Xie Changyu listened and occasionally replied a word or two. The chat between master and servant was very harmonious.

"By the way, Your Majesty, do you know about the Qiu family in Yancheng?" Lei Jun recalled an interesting thing he heard recently and said with a smile: "The second young lady of the Qiu family is engaged to the eldest son of the Fan Yang Ma family."

"know."

Xie Changyu nodded.

The Qiu family in Yancheng and the Ma family in Fanyang are both among the most famous families in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun.

Xie Changyu and Xie Wei came to control Youyun's troops. Although they did not interfere in state government affairs, they certainly knew a lot about these famous families.

Lei Jun said with a smile: "I heard that these two families are in trouble."

"Oh?" Xie Changyu asked casually: "Why did it crash?"

"Because, the young master of the Ma family has a cousin who went to the Ma family to seek refuge with her family. Since then, the young master of the Ma family has been deeply in love with his cousin. He will not marry anyone who is not a minister, and he will not marry someone who is not a monarch."

"The marriage was decided by the elders of the two families. Now Mr. Ma not only refuses to fulfill the engagement, but also threatens to kill him, making the situation beyond control."    "The Ma family has to deal with the mistake first, so they asked the second son to complete the engagement with the Qiu family. , but this second young master said that the young lady of the Qiu family was a tigress and would not marry her until she was beaten to death, so she ran away from the marriage and directly imprisoned the Qiu family."

Xie Changyu had no expression on his face, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He has never been very interested in such trivial matters.

But Lei Jun may be older, and he has children and is considering marriage, so he has become nagging, and from time to time he talks about the shortcomings of the East's parents and the West's.

It's just a day off today, nothing serious.

Xie Changyu followed Shan Ruliu and asked, "What happens after that?"

"After that... the Qiu family naturally couldn't stand such teasing, so they came to the Ma family and broke off the engagement. Miss Qiu Er even led people throughout the Sixteenth State of Youyun to search for Ma who called him a tigress and ran away from the marriage. Second Young Master."

"You said you were going to tear his mouth apart!"

Lei Jun sighed repeatedly and tutted: "She's so aggressive, no wonder people call her a tigress."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of exclamation and shouting suddenly came from the street outside.

Someone shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way -"

Lei Jun immediately craned his neck to look over and saw several horses galloping towards the end of the street with knights.

The two people in front seemed to be running away wildly, while the three people behind them were chasing after them furiously.

Lei Jun's eyes widened unconsciously, "Is it such a coincidence? The one behind seems to be the second young lady of the Qiu family?"

Xie Changyu was holding tea in his hand. He could hear the chaotic sound of horse hooves and the people screaming in surprise. He couldn't help but turn around and look towards the street.

I saw a woman in an orange-red riding costume galloping astride a horse, with an angry expression on her face. She swung her whip and grabbed the waist of the man running in front, and then pulled hard.

The man in front was pulled off his horse and fell to the ground, letting out a scream.

The woman dismounted from her horse and rushed forward, her riding whip flying involuntarily, and she cursed angrily: "You stinky man, you bitch! Do you dare to call me a tigress? Do you think I have to marry you?"

"Is a weakling like you worthy of me!"

The people and vendors on the left and right were all stunned. They hid in a safe area early, formed a circle, and watched the excitement.

The man was hiding left and right, obviously in a state of embarrassment, but his mouth was very tough, "Look at you like this, you are not a tigress, what are you? You are a hag, a big insect--"

"Whoever marries you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes, bah!"

These two sentences obviously angered Miss Qiu Er again.

Miss Qiu Er's eyebrows stood upright, and her eyes looked at the man as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"I don't want to fight with you because I'm too lazy to argue with you. You think I'm afraid of you, don't you?" The Ma family master seems to be a practicing master, and he is very agile in avoiding Miss Qiuer's whip.

While speaking, he also grabbed the tail of Miss Qiu Er's riding whip.

Mr. Ma wiped the stains on his face and said viciously: "No one will want a shrew like you in this life!"

The people around him were pointing and whispering.

Lei Jun in the private seat couldn't help but let out a hiss, and said in a low voice: "It does seem to be a bit too aggressive and intimidating. It will make the marriage difficult for such a scene."

Miss Qiu Er heard the whispers of many people, and was caught by Mr. Ma by the tail of his whip, unable to move. For a moment, she was extremely embarrassed and angry, with her face turning green and red.

Just when Miss Qiu Er was about to scold her, the sound of wheels rolling could be heard on the long street not far away.

Soon a guard came forward to clear the way.

The carriage stopped, and a woman in yellow clothes wearing a V-hat got out of the carriage. Her voice was clear and graceful, with a slightly lower tone: "Stop." (End of this chapter)
