As soon as Jian Canglang entered the courtyard, he asked anxiously: "Xiaoyue, do you and Liang Xiao really have that past?"
Gongsun Yue's expression changed, and she gained wisdom. She said with an aggrieved face: "Fourth brother, don't believe my eldest brother's lies. I didn't know Liang Xiao at all before..."
Jian Canglang waved his hand with a calm expression.
"It doesn't matter. I've always known that your eldest brother can do big things independently, but he can't help but be shameless when doing small things. Mr. Zhuo is similar."
"Yeah, they are the same species~" Gongsun Yue finally felt a little better.
Most people don't know that the Gongsun family is from the Sword Clan.
Jian Canglang is her fourth cousin.
With the help of such a serious fourth cousin, Gongsun Yue finally felt a little more confident.
Jian Canglang sighed: "No matter what, I should come to the capital. After all, Xue Mei must return to the Sword Clan no matter what."
"I heard that the fourth brother also brought some civil and military talents to the Gongsun family?" Gongsun Yue asked.
Jian Canglang said: "It's just a cooperative relationship. They are entrusted by the family elders to help stabilize the situation in Bashu. You should pay attention to the rules for a while. They also have a good relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty."
After a while, Gongsun Yue followed Jian Canglang to the lobby to meet the guests.
In the lobby, Gongsun Yue looked at the two people sitting opposite each other.
A scholar, a warrior.
The scholar on the left has a handsome face, gently waving his paper fan, and with a warm smile on his face. He is well aware of all the major events in the world.
Gather the nobles, the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Lin family, Lin Shi!
The warrior on the right wears a gilt mask covering the upper half of his face. He has sharp eyes and is tasting Canghai wine, as if everything at the scene has nothing to do with him.
The noble of Guanlong, the first warrior of the Chang family, Chang Polang!
"I've heard about these two great names for a long time, and now that I've met them, they are well-deserved." Gongsun Yue raised his glass in praise.
"Thank you." Lin Shi responded with a smile and offered tea instead of wine.
"Yeah!" Chang Polang just responded in a muffled voice, and then started drinking by himself.
When Lin Shi saw this, he quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Miss Third, don't mind. This guy is always reticent outside."
Gongsun Yue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Young Master Jinhua is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Who knows? It's an honor for you two to help my family."
Chang Polang then cupped his fists towards Gongsun Yue and said, "Disrespect!"
Jian Canglang said: "You have been in the capital for a while, what do you think?"
Lin Shi picked up the newspaper on the table and frowned: "This Liang Xiao can come up with novel and hot-selling things like sugar and newspapers, and he can also restore his title for his merits, which should not be underestimated. My suggestion is to sit on the mountain and watch. Hu Dou, our family must not offend the imperial court. Those big families who monopolize the capital should be worried."
Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "Have you received the invitation from the Da Chu envoy?"
"Is there an exchange meeting? We have also received Mr. Xing's invitation, and Liang Xiao should also attend. I also want to observe this person carefully, whether he is a friend or an enemy, and then make plans." Lin Shi replied.
"Miss Third and I also received it, let's go and take a look." Jian Canglang said.
"I hope you and Jian Zong will act according to the opportunity and express their stance at the right time. It is not appropriate to have any grudge against Liang Xiao." Gongsun Yue reminded.
Lin Shi and Chang Polang looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay!"
At night, Mu Qinxue came to visit Liang Xiao again and talked about the exchange meeting.
"Qin Xue, it seems that the children of those aristocratic families will also participate in the exchange meeting. When the time comes, you can no longer stand up for me." Liang Xiao warned.
Mu Qinxue said softly: "I only speak fair words..."
Liang Xiao saw the aggrieved look in her eyes and couldn't bear it, so he had to let her go.
Suddenly, Liang Xiao thought of something again and said, "Qin Xue, what do you think of your elder brother's martial arts skills? Are there any fierce generals among the enemies in the northern border that your elder brother cannot defeat?"
Mu Qinxue said coyly: "I am a girl, how can I understand those who fight and kill..."
"Ah? Really?" Liang Xiao was stunned.
Mu Qinxue lowered her head and murmured: "From now on, I want to be a good wife and mother like my mother. I want to take care of my husband and raise my children. I will spend time with my husband and spend time together under the moon, and my husband will sing and my wife will follow..."
"Good."
Liang Xiao nodded, looked at Mu Qinxue with a well-behaved face, smiled half-heartedly, and asked no more questions.
Mu Qinxue and her daughter were already overjoyed: It seems like he really doesn’t know that he can do martial arts?
"Even if he finds out that I like to drink...drinking, it doesn't mean that I know martial arts~"
The more Mu Qinxue thought about it, the happier she became, but she still looked aggrieved on the surface.
Her grandmother protected her grandfather for half her life and was her most admired role model.
Forty or fifty years later, maybe she, Mu Qinxue, will be Mrs. Liang!
Jiang Fuxue, who was writing on the side, secretly glanced at Jiang Fuxue and admired in her heart.
"You are indeed my sister-in-law. You can win my third sister~"
Liang Xiao thought of something again and asked: "Qin Xue, I may have to go to Lanling to inspect the fiefdom after a while. Yunxiu can't run around. Do you... want to go and see with me?"
Mu Qinxue was stunned.
After Liang Xiao restored his title and fiefdom, it was indeed unjustifiable not to go and see.
"If you follow him to inspect the fiefdom, you may be mistaken for Liang Xiao's wife by the people of Lanling. Oh, it's really distressing..."
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Qinxue felt inexplicably excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay~"
The moonlight illuminated Mu Qinxue's gentle face, captivating the country and the city.
Liang Xiao was distracted for a moment.
He recalled the past and found that he had indeed never seen Mu Qinxue before he went to Dingguohou's Mansion.
But why, I always feel that she gives me a feeling of déjà vu.
Of course, there is also a sense of inexplicable danger, which is both exciting and stimulating.
Early the next morning, Liang Xiao was ordered to enter the palace to meet the saint.
The two sisters were worshiping Emperor Gaozu and Shizu in the Ancestral Temple. When they heard that Liang Xiao had arrived early, they discussed it.
"Anyway, he will be the Prince Consort sooner or later, let him come in."
After Duan Yunyi gave the order, Lin Duan, who was entertaining Liang Xiao outside the imperial study, immediately led Liang Xiao to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in a detour.
Compared with the main hall, this Ancestral Temple seems simple, but it is solemn, sacred and solemn.
A large number of Xuanwei are stationed here, escorting royal members to worship every day.
The significance of Duan Yunyi allowing himself to come in to pay homage is self-evident.
As soon as Liang Xiao climbed up the steps, he found that the eyes of Xuan Wei on both sides were focused on him.
The two came to the gate. Lin Duan went in for a while and then came out to announce: "Marquis Lanling, please come in!"
Thinking of the achievements of Emperor Gaozu and Shizu, Liang Xiao solemnly stepped forward and entered the hall.
What caught his eye were the two portraits on the wall in front of him.
One is a portrait of an old man with a Chinese character face and white beard and hair. In the center, even though he is old, he is still calm and confident.
The other picture shows a relatively young middle-aged man with a round face and a gentle expression.
Liang Xiao looked at the portrait of the middle-aged man and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
This is the portrait of Shizu. Why does it look familiar?
If you add a white beard to him...
The impression of Shizu with a white beard suddenly appeared in Liang Xiao's mind, and his pupils shrank.
Why does he look so much like his old man...
