Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

Although Sang Hongyang actively participated in the Salt and Iron Conference, he couldn't make a slap in the face.Because of Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie's scheming, the meeting failed to play the role Liu Fuling expected: to intensify the conflict. But after Huo Guang invited Xianliang, Liu Fuling came to Huo's house at night, and there was an inexplicable assassin incident, the suspicion among the three powerful officials suddenly surfaced. Huo Guang has been actively recommending and employing people close to the Huo family, but he often rejected Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang's request to appoint anyone. In the competition for court power, he gradually tended to overwhelm Shangguan Jie.

Since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shangguan Jie's official position has been higher than that of Huo Guang, and the current empress is his granddaughter. Shangguan Jie has always felt that he should be the most powerful person. When the young emperor first came to the throne, with the secret support of King Yan and King Guangling, the three lords including the prime minister questioned why the late emperor chose four people who had no real power to entrust their orphans. In order to protect their rights, they also saved their lives. , Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang tacitly teamed up to deal with all those who disagreed with them in the court, and the two even married as sons and daughters.

For a long time, Huo Guang had always respected Shangguan Jie on the surface, and would discuss everything with Shangguan Jie, and even asked Shangguan Jie to make decisions on his behalf, but as the enemies fell one by one, the little emperor grew up day by day, and the situation Gradually changed. Maybe the contradictions have been planted since choosing who to be the queen. In fact, Shangguan Lan, the youngest daughter of Shangguan Jie, and Huo Chengjun, the daughter of Huo Guang, matched Liu Fuling's age.But when Shangguan Jie wanted to send Shangguan Lan into the palace, he was strongly blocked by dark forces.As a last resort, he could only choose to let his granddaughter Shangguan's younger sister enter the palace, but Huo Guang stopped him because the younger sister was too young to be worthy of the emperor.

What is the actual reason?Even though the younger sister is Huo Guang's granddaughter, her surname is Shangguan, not Huo. But at that time, Huo Guang couldn't completely fight against Shangguan Jie, and Sang Hongyang was scornful of his successor, so he also proposed a candidate to be Princess Cheng. Two dogs fight, play off! After all, the younger sister is the blood of the Huo family. After weighing the two sides, Huo Guang finally compromised, and joined forces with Shangguan Jie to suppress Sang Hongyang, and sent the younger sister to the palace to become the queen.Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang were also promoted to the ranks on the day after the younger sister was conferred.

On the surface, the Shangguan family and the Huo family shared the great glory.Contradictions take root and thrive in the shadow of power.Or the contradiction already existed, but it was covered up too well before. Shangguan Jie once made great contributions to Madam Gouyi's entry into the palace, and Shangguan and Madam Gouyi have always had a very good relationship, so the emperor was closer to Shangguan Jie when he was young, but as he got older, he got closer and closer to Huo Guang. The emperor's ability to drive to Huo's mansion easily and easily shows his trust in Huo Guang.The emperor's intentions are already obvious. It is Huo Guang and the Xianliang faction who will be reused in the future, not the Shangguan clan and the gentry.

Shangguan Jie should have understood in his heart that it is absolutely impossible for Shangguan and Huo to share power again.Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. But the "assassin incident" caused by Yun Ge and the eldest son will only deepen the conflict. Huo Guangding would suspect that the other two people framed him secretly. Of course, the purpose was not to assassinate the emperor, but to make the emperor suspect him. The cunning and suspicious Shangguan Jie must be wondering why this happened in the Huo Mansion?Not sooner or later, after he arrives?He even suspected that he was going towards him, maybe the Huo family slave who secretly passed the news to him was a trick set by Huo Guang for him.

Sang Hongyang, an old man, was a little weird. He seemed to be willing to expose himself that night to protect the safety of the emperor. Because the eldest son knew the truth about the assassin, he respected him somewhat. Although this person is a powerful minister, he is definitely not a courtier.But for those who don't know the truth about the assassin, it is inevitable to suspect that he is so courageous. Is it because the assassin is related to him?He took the opportunity to show his loyalty? Although I am looking forward to the fight between the tiger and the wolf, I am afraid that the tiger will drive away the wolf, or the wolf will drive away the tiger and sit alone on the mountain.

If she had to choose a side, Xiao Jue definitely hoped that Huo Guang would win. Where is the emperor?How true is the emperor's closeness to Huo Guang?Or is everything just a means to intensify the conflict between Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang?Even the emperor's seemingly impromptu night visit to Huo's mansion was probably done on purpose. The dignified son of heaven, but he is light and easy, and arrives at the courtier's mansion late at night. Doesn't it reveal his extreme trust and closeness to the courtier?Talking and laughing with the courtiers to the moon, pointing the country, is a good story of a good minister of the sage king!Faced with such a situation, will Shangguan Jie take any action?

But would Huo Guang really believe the emperor's closeness and trust in him? What exactly is Sang Hongyang thinking? What a headache! forget about it!The eldest son turned over and closed his eyes. Seeing that he was asleep, Hong Yi gently lowered the curtain and left the room. Yun Ge's health is very good, Meng Jue's medical skills are extraordinary, coupled with the care of Xu Pingjun and Hong Yi, Yun Ge recovered quickly.It's a rare opportunity to be lazy, and simply use illness as an excuse to give yourself a big vacation.No matter how much Uncle Chang loves money, he can't force patients to make money for him.

Yun Ge woke up from a comfortable afternoon nap, the courtyard was quiet, only the warm sunlight came in through the window panes, drawing square shadows playfully on the curtain. Hongyi was making rope tassels under the locust tree in the courtyard, but the eldest son was nowhere to be seen. Yun Ge walked to Hongyi and sat down, "Where is the eldest son?" Hongyi pointed to the room, took a sleeping position, smiled at Yunge, lowered her head and concentrated on her work. The red-clothed hands were extremely dexterous, Yun Ge just watched her fingers fluttering, and the blue-black silk threads were woven into leaf tassels.Yun Ge remembered the black jade acacia pei that the eldest son was wearing, and seeing the color and pattern of the red dress's knitting, it just matched Huan pei, "Red clothes, your hands are really skillful, I can't do female red needlework at all."

Hongyi took a branch and wrote on the ground: "What do you want? I'll weave it for you." Yun Ge picked up a branch, thought about it, and drew a shape, "I've seen people wear this before, and I thought it was pretty, is it difficult to make up?" Hong Yi looked at Yun Ge with a smile, nodded, then shook his head, pointed at Yun Ge's heart, and wrote three words, "One Heart Knot." Yun Ge didn't understand whether the red clothes were hard to make or not, but she didn't care about it, so she didn't ask any more. Hongyi picked out a piece of red silk thread, wrapped it around Singer Yun, and motioned for Singer Yun to make it up. Yun Ge didn't want to learn it at all, but seeing Hong Yi's enthusiasm, it was hard to refuse, so he could only follow her, "Hong Yi, I want...to ask you something." Hong Yi smiled and nodded, motioning for her to ask, Yun Ge hesitated: "Are you familiar with Meng Jue?" Looking at the concentric knot in Yun Ge, Hong Yi thought that her concentric knot was made for Meng Jue, and gave Yun Ge a thumbs up with joy, praising her for her good eyesight. Yun Ge thought that Hong Yi praised her for her good weaving, and said with a smile, "I'm overwhelmed! Where is yours? Yours is beautiful and practical." Hong Yixia rubbed her cheeks, shy and anxious, and hastily stretched out her hand to compare the height of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, saying that she knew Meng Jue when she was that tall, she knew Meng Jue very well, and Meng Jue was very good. "It turns out that you have known him since you were young. Then... red clothes... do you know Meng Jue...Meng Jue can't taste the food at all?" Salty, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, Meng Jue couldn't taste any of them.Yun Ge had only read about people who didn't know all kinds of tastes in books before, and thought at that time, what kind of fun is there in life for such a person who eats everything like chewing wax?But I didn't expect that I would meet such a person one day. Hong Yi looked at Yun Ge in confusion, Yun Ge immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just talking nonsense. Why is this called the same heart knot?" "Hongyi, I want to drink tea that is neither cold nor hot." The eldest son who did not know when was standing at the door ordered Hongyi. Hong Yi immediately stood up, smiled apologetically at Yun Ge, and hurried to the kitchen. Yun Ge looked at the eldest son, "You know?" The eldest son still had a faint smile, "How long have you been aware of it?" "Shortly, after a few tries, it was only recently confirmed." "He keeps a secret about this matter. You'd better pretend that you don't know. When I met him, he was already like this. I don't know the specific reason. It seems that when he was young, he witnessed the tragic death of his mother. If it is stimulated, the root of the disease will be left, and the tongue will not be able to distinguish all kinds of flavors." "Terrible death?" Yun Ge was filled with shock. The eldest son looked at Yun Ge with a smile: "Yun girl, are you planning to marry Meng Jue?" Yun Ge stared at him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't forget, you are living in my house now, you offended me, and I will drive you out." "You don't plan to marry Meng Jue. Why do you ask so many things about him? I only half know about him. If you want to know, just ask him. But..." He took a sip of tea in his hand, and led the red clothes out of the yard, "But my suggestion is not to ask anything. Everyone has something that they just want to forget and bury. Did everything come out?" Who does the eldest son think of her?Yun Ge shook his fist at the eldest son's back.She just wanted to know the reason why Meng Jue had no sense of taste, and see if it was possible to cure it. Yun Ge really couldn't imagine a life where a person could eat everything without taste. Then he sighed heavily and feebly, why do they all want to forget and bury things deeply? Liu Bing was like this, and so was Meng Jue. She had wanted to ask about the past of Liu's illness many times, and wanted to ask him how he lived these years?I also wanted to test how much he remembered about the Western Regions back then, but I felt that Liu Bing didn't want to look back at the past at all, and even avoided asking others, so he didn't dare to say a word. Could it be the same with Meng Jue in the future? Yun Ge was in a low mood, subconsciously, like when she was a child, she climbed up a tree and sat in a daze. Seeing a man who looked like Liu Bingji passing by outside the courtyard, Yun Ge rubbed his eyes and took a second look.After watching the second look, the third look, and rubbing her eyes again and again, she finally confirmed that the man with a straight body, a straight walk, and a serious expression was indeed the elder brother. The lazy, careless, lazy smile like just getting out of bed, the lazy gait like falling down to sleep anytime and anywhere, all of these are gone! Who is the person walking in front of Big Brother?How could he change the eldest brother into a different person? Yun Ge tiptoed into Liu Bingji's yard, but unexpectedly saw the man asking Liu Bingji to sit down respectfully. Liu Bing had already pushed him several times, but he didn't push him away, so he could only sit down with the gift of a junior, but the old man didn't seem to dare to accept it, so he avoided it immediately, and only took the lower seat after Liu Bing had sat down. Zhang He looked at the room silently, his eyes slowly getting wet.The walls are bare, and the only warmth in the house is a cluster of wild flowers in a clay vase on the table. Zhang He suppressed his sadness and said with a smile: "It's very clean, it doesn't look like you did it yourself. Whose girl helped?" Liu Bing has already replied: "Xu's sister comes over occasionally to take care of her." "Xu Guanghan's girl?" "Ok." "I'm already sick, and you're old enough to start a family. Do you have someone you like? There must be a woman in the family to be like a family." Liu Bing was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head. Zhang He waited for a while, but Liu Bingji still did not speak. "I'm already sick. If you don't have someone you like, I have a marriage that I want to tell you." Liu Bing already raised his head and said, "Uncle Zhang, whoever I marry with my status will do harm to anyone. Besides, who can take a fancy to my family? These things……" Before Liu Bingji finished speaking, Zhang He stood up angrily and pointed at Liu Bingji angrily: "What kind of bastard are you talking about? Your grandfather, your father, and your uncles have worked hard, so many people Giving up your life to keep your only bloodline is to let you give them the last one? Look at what you are now! Who are you worthy of? How do you let them feel at ease in the ground? How many lives! You...you... "After speaking, the old man burst into tears and could not speak. Liu Bing sat silently, his body was stiff, and his eyes were full of pain. Zhang He suddenly bent and knelt down to Liu Bingji, and kowtowed loudly.Liu Bing was startled, turned over and kowtowed to Zhang He, unwilling to accept Zhang He's big gift. Zhang He cried and said: "If you still miss your grandfather and parents, just listen to my words of advice. If you really can't listen, I don't dare to talk too much. I just can't forget those bloody lives. In order to save your life, how many people have ruined their families, or even wiped out their entire clan, just to save a little blood, hoping that you will spread out..." Liu Bing had already pinched his hands deeply into the ground, but he didn't know it yet, the helplessness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow in his seemingly dull eyes.Looking at Zhang He's already flushed forehead, he supported Zhang He, and said indifferently but firmly: "Uncle Zhang, get up and speak, you gave me my life, I will never forget my illness, uncle's arrangement, The disease must obey." "Okay, then it's a deal! Let me arrange this matter, and you can wait for my good news with peace of mind. I will definitely drink your wedding wine within this year." Zhang He acted resolutely, resolutely, and quite boldly. The wind of the guest, the sadness has not yet gone, but the voice is sonorous and powerful.After finishing the business, he went out without a word of nonsense. The conversation between Zhang He and Liu Bingji, sometimes deliberately lowered his voice, sometimes interspersed with the sound of crying, Yun Ge didn't hear it clearly, but the few words caught in the blur made her understand that they were talking about the elder brother's marriage . Yun Ge huddled in the corner silently in a daze, not even noticing when Zhang He left.Thousands of thoughts, only feel the unspeakable taste in my heart. Liu Bing was already sitting in the room silently, and after a long time, he suddenly called out, "Yun Ge, are you still outside?" Yun Ge rubbed her numb leg, limped out, and asked with a forced smile, "Brother, do you know that I'm eavesdropping?" For the first time, Liu Bingji's voice revealed unbearable exhaustion and sadness unabashedly, "Yun Ge, go get some wine. I just want to get drunk right now, I don't want to think about anything, I want to think about everything forget." forget?The blood flowing on his body reminded him all the time, how could he forget? Use wine to drown your sorrows, and your sorrows will be even more sorrowful! Liu, who was drunk, was already sick, and he couldn't hold the cup steadily, but he still kept drinking one cup after another. Yun Ge drank a lot with him, and he was 70% drunk. He grabbed Liu Bingji's arm and asked, "Big brother, big brother... Brother Ling, brother Ling, I am Yun Ge, I am Yun Ge! Do you have any?" Remember me? I never forgot the promise, I am not a pig, you are the pig!" Liu Bing was lying on the table, smiling and rubbing Yun Ge's head, but he saw two Yun Ge dangling, and their hands landed on Yun Ge's face unsteadily, "Yun Ge, I remember, your name is Yun Ge. Song... I don't want to remember, I forget even if I think about it, forget my surname Liu, forget those bright red blood... human life... Yun Ge, I don't want to remember..." "Brother Ling, where are the embroidered shoes I gave you? Do you remember? You asked me if I knew the meaning of giving you embroidered shoes. I didn't know at the time, but I found out later. You told me not to forget, I didn't forget, I always remembered Yes, we have an agreement..." The two asked and answered, talking to themselves, each having their own concerns, laughing for a while, and sad for a while. Meng Jue didn't find her in Yunge's room. When she fell into Liu Bingji's hospital from the wall, what she saw was Yun Ge's face was flushed, leaning on Liu Bingji's shoulder, and she was muttering with closed eyes: "My pearl embroidered shoes What? Did you lose it?" The dark storm in Meng Jue's eyes swirled, trying to crush everything.He went into the room and carried Yun Ge out of Liu Bingji's arms. Liu Bing wanted to stretch out his hand to grab Yun Ge, "Yun Ge..." But he swayed and fell heavily on the ground. He tried hard to stand up, but he could only struggle on the ground like a wounded and desperate insect. Meng Jue had no intention of supporting and helping each other, and gave Liu Bingji a disgusted and indifferent look, as if looking at a dead person, turned and left. "So many lives... So many lives... Bloody lives..." Hearing the sound, Meng Jue froze for an instant. The blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling with hatred, but it seemed to have frozen into ice of sadness, freezing his body inch by inch at the door. Liu Bing suddenly burst into laughter: "... bloody... have you asked me? Have you asked me if I want to live? Do you want to sacrifice? What is it like to live with hundreds of lives on your back? Alone What's it like to live alone? What's it like to be told nothing? What's it like to live without any hope... Not being able to do anything, even living like an ordinary person is a luxury. My life is to suffer and Those who are punished, how can they allow me to live like ordinary people?...I don't even have the qualification to choose death...because I have to live...because I owe so many lives...even if I can't do anything, I can't do anything, like Like a dog...you have to live...if you die that day, at least you will be accompanied by your parents and sisters, you won't have to be abused and beaten when you were young, you won't have a precarious escape...and you won't have the torment you have now..." Before Meng Jue's eyes flashed everything that he never wanted to think of again, but he could never forget, those days when he was struggling to survive. When he was very hungry, in order to live, he snatched food from the dog's mouth, but was ridiculed and scolded by the dog's owner when he found out. He and the wild dogs robbed the dead, just for the clothes on the dead. After the mother died, her eyes were still wide open.During the torture, the mother's bones were smashed inch by inch, but her index finger stubbornly pointed to the west.She couldn't rest in peace, thinking that the hometown she left when she was young would give her son a place to live, but how did she know that her son had another name in that place, called "bastard". On New Year’s Eve, every family locked their doors, sat around the fireplace, watched the auspicious snow, celebrated the new year, and looked forward to a bumper harvest in the coming year, but he was lying in the snow, watching the snow falling from the sky numbly, In the distance, an old wolf whose eye was blinded by a hunter was wandering around, evaluating each other's strength.He has no strength to struggle anymore.Too tired, just go to sleep like this!Mother and younger brother are waiting for him in another world... The cry of the younger brother came: "Daddy, my name is not Liu Xun, I don't want to be the grandson of Emperor Wei, I am your Hua'er... Big brother, save me, big brother, save me..." Everyone said that tiger poison is not good. But he saw his father stun his younger brother to make him dumb in order not to reveal his identity. When the three-year-old boy was hugged and left, he seemed to have understood that the smartest brother in his mind was going to die this time. I can't save him anymore, I don't cry anymore, there are no tears, I just keep looking at him, with infinite yearning in my eyes, my younger brother tried his best to squeeze out a faint smile, he opened and closed his mouth, but there was no sound, but he listened Got it, "Brother, don't cry! I don't hurt." is he cryingHis vision was blurred, he wanted to wipe away his tears, and tried to see his brother clearly, but his hands were tied... Hatred and despair can force people to die, but they can also force people to live at all costs. The half-blind old wolf wanted to bite off his throat and use his flesh and blood to make himself alive next spring, but he died under his teeth in the end.When the human heart is full of hatred and despair, there is no difference between man and beast, the only difference is that man is smarter and more patient, so the wolf dies, but he lives. Liu Bing had his face on the ground, passed out, his hands were still tightly clenched into fists, as if unwilling to resign himself to fate, and wanted to strike out, but he couldn't even find the target of the punch, so he could only hang down limply. The wick in the house has not been picked for a long time, and the light gradually weakens.The dim light reflected the stained person on the ground, and the handsome person outside the house.Time seemed to stand still, but it was mercilessly allowed to be swept by the darkness. With a sound of "Bippo", the oil lamp was completely extinguished. Meng Jue still stood motionless until Yun Ge muttered, and he woke up.Yun Ge seemed a little afraid of the cold, and subconsciously burrowed into his arms, he hugged Yun Ge even tighter, facing the cold wind, walked firmly into the darkness. Meng Jue went to Xu Pingjun's house with Yunge in his arms and kicked the door. After Xu's mother opened the door, she saw a man hugging a woman outside, screaming at the top of her voice in shock. Xu Pingjun, who was feeding silkworms in the back room, ran out immediately. Meng Jue stared at Xu's mother, although she was smiling, but the aggressive Xu's mother felt like a basin of ice water in her head in the dog days, her whole body was shivering, from head to toe, she couldn't make any sound with her mouth open. "Mr. Ping, he is already sick and drunk, go and take care of him when you have time." After Meng Jue finished speaking, she immediately left with Yun Ge in her arms. "Brother Meng, where are you taking Yun Ge?" Meng Jue didn't seem to hear Xu Pingjun's question at all, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night. The next day, when Yun Ge woke up, she couldn't figure it out, she had already drank with Liu Bing, so why did she end up drinking at Meng Jue's place? Lying on the couch, I tried hard to think and think, and vaguely remembered some things, but felt that it must be a dream. In the dream, I seem to have recognized Liu Bing. I saw the pearl embroidered shoes when I was a child, and even held them in my hand. Do you remember countless others?remember?It seemed that she was asking someone, and it seemed that someone was asking her. "Aren't you up yet?" Meng Jue asked while sitting by the couch. Yun Ge shrank back under the quilt, "Hey! King of Jade, you are a man, I am a woman, there is a difference between men and women! I am still sleeping, so it is not appropriate for you to sit next to me?" Meng Jue smiled lightly, "Who do you think carried you over last night? Who took off your shoes, socks and dress? Who put you on the couch?" Yun Ge was silent for a moment, two moments, three moments later, from being unbelievable to finally accepting the cruel reality, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ah—" grabbed the pillow and threw it at Meng Jue, "You hypocrite ! Everyone has been deceived by you, what kind of modest gentleman?" Meng Jue easily caught the pillow, and looked at Yun Ge indifferently and coldly. Yun Ge looked down at himself, only wearing a shirt, and immediately shrank back into the quilt, "Hypocrite! Hypocrite! I don't care about those things before, since you are trying to save me. This time you... You... woo woo woo..." Yun Ge covered her head with the quilt, thinking about how much she suffered and how to recover. Meng Jue's voice, heard through the quilt, was a little fuzzy, "This time I want you to remember not to drink with men casually. Next time you get drunk, I don't know what will happen." Yun Ge covered her head and said nothing.Thinking of the reason for drunkenness, I just feel tired. After a long time, Meng Jue sighed, leaned down and said, "Don't be angry, it's all to scare you, and you are ordered by the servant girl to serve you." Through the thin quilt, Yun Ge felt that Meng Jue's lips seemed to be near his cheek, and his face burned. Meng Jue broke away Yun Ge's hand that was tightly holding the quilt, and lightly held it in his hand, like holding a dream treasure, "Yun Ge, Yun Ge..." One after another, if there is nothing, the sound is so small that it is almost a whisper. It seems to refuse, it seems to accept. Like pain, like joy. Like reminding, like forgetting. But there is a soul-stirring magic. Yun Ge didn't know what Meng Jue wanted to say, but only knew that a corner of her heart was melting. Yun Ge gradually became firm in her heart, didn't she already make a decision?Things are imminent, but why are you confused again?It is definitely not me who is most sad about the elder brother getting married, but sister Xu. When Yun Ge found Xu Pingjun, Xu Pingjun was working as a female celebrity together with Hongyi in the house. "Sister Xu." Yun Ge smiled at Hongyi, didn't bother to explain, grabbed Xu Pingjun's sleeve and walked out, seeing no one around, "Sister Xu, elder brother is going to start a family, an uncle came to find elder brother yesterday After talking for a long time, I said that I wanted to talk about marriage with my eldest brother. I have thought about this matter carefully, and if Meng Jue helps, maybe..." Yun Ge looked anxious, but Xu Pingjun remained silent, Yun Ge couldn't help asking: "Sister, you...are you not in a hurry?" Xu Pingjun didn't dare to look at Yun Ge, looked away and said: "I already know. The uncle you mentioned is Uncle Zhang, my father's former boss. He invited my father to drink last night, and he was very drunk. He came back very late, and after waking up today, he told my mother in a daze that he seemed to have promised Uncle Zhang a marriage." Yun Ge let out a soft ah, stood in a daze for a while, jumped up with Xu Pingjun in his arms, and said with a smile, "Sister, sister, you should be happy! I heard with my own ears yesterday that my elder brother said that everything was decided by Uncle Zhang, like It’s the same for my father! Parents’ order, matchmaker’s words, everything is there!” Seeing Yun Ge's appearance, Xu Pingjun rubbed Yun Ge's head lightly, and laughed, three parts ashamed, three parts happy and three parts sad, "My mother may not agree yet, you know my mother, she's only thinking about me now. If you want to marry a noble person, how can you be sick?" Yun Ge giggled: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, didn't you say that Uncle Zhang was your father's former boss? Uncle Zhang is still an official right now? Since your father has already agreed to Uncle Zhang, he will never go back on his word. It’s okay if your mother doesn’t like it. If it’s not possible, please ask Uncle Zhang to give you more dowry gifts. I don’t have any money now, but I can borrow some from Meng Jue first, and I’ll give you an offer later. It's chattering." Xu Pingjun smiled and nodded Yunge's forehead, "You're the only one with a lot of ideas." Liu Bing had just met Zhang He and knew that everything was settled.Recalling the acquaintance with Xu Pingjun when I was young, and all the things until today, I can't describe the feelings in my heart.Ping Jun is outstanding in appearance and capable. Ping Jun married him, but in fact he was the one who got the upper hand. Liu Bing has already ridiculed, what qualifications does he have? Seeing that Liu Bing had entered, Xu Pingjun immediately lowered his head, blushed, and turned to leave. Liu Bing had stopped her, and his face was a bit embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, Xu Pingjun lowered his head even more. Seeing the appearance of the two, Yun Ge was about to leave in silence. "Yun Ge, wait." Liu Bing had already glanced at Xu Pingjun, and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. After opening it, it was a pair of bracelets. "Sister Pingjun, you are the best girl. I have always hoped that you will have a good life. If you follow me, you will definitely suffer. I can't give you..." Xu Pingjun raised his head, his cheeks were flushed, but he looked at Liu Bingji firmly, "I'm not afraid of suffering when I'm sick, all I know is that if I marry someone else, then I will suffer." Liu Bing was already shocked by Xu Pingjun's frankness. After being taken aback for a moment, he shook his head with a smile, and said pitifully, "What a silly girl." He took Xu Pingjun's hand, and put a bracelet on Xu Pingjun's wrist, "Uncle Zhang said it was something my mother had brought, so this will be my wedding gift." Xu Pingjun touched the bracelet in his hand, smiling, tears streaming down his face.After so many years of thoughts, after countless twists and turns, until this moment, it finally became a reality in a bracelet. Liu Bing had already handed another bracelet to Yun Ge, "Yun Ge, this is for you only. I heard that I had a younger sister, but already..." Liu Bing had smiled and shook his head, "Brother wants you to take this Just a bracelet." Yun Ge hesitated and didn't pick it up. Xu Pingjun vaguely understood the reason why Liu Bing had deliberately done this in front of her, and with joy in his heart, he said to Yun Ge sincerely: "Yun Ge, take it! I want you to wear it too, don't we?" Sister?" Yun Ge took it half sadly and half happily, and put it on his wrist, "Thank you brother, thank you... sister-in-law." Xu Pingjun blushed, spat at Yun Ge, turned around and left. Yun Ge laughed loudly, while laughing, he ran towards his room, after entering the room, he threw himself on the couch, and the quilt was soon soaked. ... "Do you know what it means for a woman to give embroidered shoes to a man?" "I accept it. Yun Ge, you must also remember." "With the stars as an alliance, there will be no repentance." "There's still time to tell it next time. When you arrive in Chang'an, we will have a lot of time to listen to your story." ... From the day she was sensible, from the time she understood the meaning of this agreement, she never doubted that this vow would not be fulfilled. She never forgot. Every time she went to a place, she specially collected stories, waiting to tell him one day. Every time she met someone, she would think that she had Brother Ling. Every time she cooked a delicious dish, she would think about his expression after eating it, he would definitely smile, and like that day, many stars would melt in his eyes. She always thought that there was someone waiting for her in the distance. She always thought that he would be the same as her, staring at the starry sky alone at night, silently recalling every detail of the acquaintance, and fantasizing about the scene of the goodbye. She always thought that he, like her, would prefer Xingkong... The words are still in my ears, but everything has changed. It turned out that for so many years, everything was just her own fantasy, a one-man show. Outside, Meng Jue wanted to enter Yun Ge's room, but the Eldest Young Master stopped him, "Let Yun Ge be alone for a while. Little Jue, you have a good method, clean and tidy!" Meng Jue smiled: "You guessed wrong this time." "If it's not you, who else could it be? No one in this world knows more about Liu Bingji than you." Meng Jue smiled indifferently, and neither admitted nor refuted, "Faced with the current situation, isn't the lord not a little bit moved? Instead of absurdly indulging yourself, why don't you try your best and do what you want? Are you really willing to spend your whole life indulging in the fragrance of makeup and powder? A man was born between heaven and earth, so he is supposed to inspire spirit and guide the country." The eldest son was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Have you ever thought of me as a prince? Don't make me feel cold all over! I'm sorry, I have to waste your aggressive words again. Look at Liu Fuling's situation, I am sorry I'm not interested in that position. The first emperor was thoughtful, ruthless, and extremely suspicious. He didn't believe anyone in the world except himself. Would he really believe in the four ministers with different surnames? He didn't expect the situation of today's imperial power to fall apart. Trick. Liu Fuling can make the first emperor look up to him, and risk entrusting the country to the world. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Looking at his handling of the "Assassin" incident this time, we can already get some clues. Huo Guang has been unable to find out clearly. Fu Ling didn't mention a word, and opposed Huo Guang's more reliance. Sang Hongyang went to investigate Yulinying secretly, but he just pretended not to know. If you don't do it, you will use an unexpected "assassin" for him. I warn you, put away your heart that has crossed the line as soon as possible. words." The eldest son paused, then said with a smile: "But don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." Meng Jue's answer to the eldest son seemed to have been expected, his expression did not change, he just asked with a smile, "When will the prince leave Chang'an?" The eldest son also smiled: "Are you worried about my life or death? Or are you afraid that I will mess up your chess game? It's not your turn to worry about my affairs. When I want to leave, I will naturally leave." Meng Jue smiled suavely, "Brother, I don't care about your life or death, but I regard Hongyi as my sister. If Hongyi makes a slight mistake because of you, I will settle the new and old debts with you." Meng Jue spoke in a very gentle tone, like a younger brother talking to an older brother, but the meaning he expressed was full of chills. When the eldest son heard the word "big brother", his smile froze, he stared blankly at Meng Jue for a while, then turned and left. The past romanticism was gone, and his back was very gloomy, "The situation in Chang'an City is already tense. , King Yan and Shangguan Jie are not easy to deal with, so be careful." Meng Jue watched the Eldest Young Master's back leave, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just watched the Eldest Young Master disappear into the night lightly. Meng Jue stood outside Yunge's door, wanted to knock on the door, but slowly put down her hand. Sitting on the steps with his back against the door, he simply looked at the starry sky. It seems that I haven't looked at the sky so peacefully for a long time. Meng Jue watched a crescent crescent slowly crawl across the sky from the east. Listening to the small whimpers in the room gradually disappearing. He heard the sound of Yun Ge pouring water, and heard the sound of her being scalded by the water and throwing the cup to the ground. He heard the sound of her bumping into the table as she walked. I heard the sound of her lying down and getting up again. Hearing her push open the window, she leaned against the window and looked at the sky. And he was only one step away from her through the casement. Hearing her close the window again and go back to sleep... Meng Jue thought to the starry sky, she had already fallen asleep, he should go, he should go...but the starry sky is so beautiful and quiet... Yun Ge tossed and turned throughout the night, dozing off intermittently, and just as the sky was turning white, he could no longer sleep and simply got up. When she opened the door, something fell in with a thud, she subconsciously jumped away, and when she looked clearly, she found that it was Meng Jue. He was lying on the ground, looking at her sleepily, as if he didn't understand where he was for a moment. A moment later, while rubbing his aching head, he stood up and walked out without saying a word. Yun Ge was confused, "Hey, King of Jade, why are you here?" Meng Jue didn't turn his head back, "I'm drunk, I went to the wrong place looking for the young master." Yun Ge went in and out all morning, always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't figure it out.It was only later that I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen the eldest son and Hong Yi since early morning.Pushing open the door of the room they were staying in, there were four flamboyant characters on the wall, "Farewell, I won't see you off". Xu Pingjun asked: "What did you write?" "They're gone." The two stared at the wall in a daze for a while, and Xu Pingjun murmured, "It's really sudden, and the departure was even more sudden, which saved the two of them a wedding." Yun Ge frowned and looked at the writing on the wall, "The writing is pretty good. But why is it written on my wall? Does he know how troublesome it is to paste the wall once?" Xu Pingjun nodded and agreed, "It's a pity that the eldest son is neither a genius nor a celebrity. Otherwise, if the words are extended, he can exchange some money and just paste the wall. But the things he used are all the best. It can be sold at a pawn shop." 云歌和许平君都是喜聚不喜散的人，这几日又和红衣、大公子笑闹惯了，尤其对红衣，两人都是打心眼里喜欢。不料他们突然就离去，云歌和许平君两人说着不相干的废话，好像不在意，心里却都有些空落。 “云歌，你说我们什么时候能再见到红衣？” “有热闹的时候呗！大公子哪里热闹往哪里钻，红衣是他的影子，见到了大公子，自然就见到红衣了。” 许平君听到“影子”二字，觉得云歌的形容绝妙贴切，红衣可不就像大公子的影子吗？悄无声息，却如影随形、时刻相伴，下意识地低头，一看却是一愣，心中触动，不禁叹了口气。 云歌问：“许姐姐？” 许平君指了指云歌的脚下。 恰是正午，明亮的太阳当空照，四处都亮堂堂，什么都看得清清楚楚，影子却几乎看不见。 云歌低头一看也是叹了口气，不愿许平君胡思乱想，抬头笑道：“好嫂嫂，就要做新娘子了，大红的嫁衣穿上，即使天全黑了，也人人都看得见。哎呀！还没有见过嫂嫂给自己做的嫁衣呢！嫂嫂的能干是少陵原出了名的，嫁衣一定十二分的漂亮，大哥见了，定会看呆了……” 许平君脸一红，心内甜蜜喜悦，却是板着脸瞪了一眼云歌，转身就走，“一个姑娘家，却和街上的汉子一样，满嘴的混帐话！”身后犹传来云歌的笑声：“咦？为什么我每次一叫'嫂嫂'，有人就红脸瞪眼？” 许平君不曾回头，所以没有看到欢快的笑语下，却是一双凝视着树的影子的悲伤眼睛。
