The autumn rain doesn't know how to stop
Chang'an City ushered in an autumn rain
Pedestrians on the road held up their oil-paper umbrellas and put on their raincoats.
Those who were unprepared started running on the street, and the eldest daughter-in-law and the younger daughter-in-law were no exception.
Li Mingda was lying on his teahouse, looking at the magnificent scenery downstairs.
So delicious
Take a sip of tea
Eat some melon seeds
The only drawback is that there is no Fat House Happy Water.
Murong Xue on the side also grabbed some melon seeds from the plate and cracked them from time to time, like a white squirrel.
The autumn rain took away the heat on the road, and Chang'an City, which was originally bustling, quickly became deserted, and the sky became gloomy.
"Xiao Bai, why do people always want things that don't belong to them?"
"Desire, and don't call me Xiaobai"
"Okay, Xiaobai"
"Don't call me Xiaobai"
"I know, Xiaobai"
"..."
Murong Xue said she couldn't fight, so she concentrated on eating melon seeds.
╭(╯^╰)╮
Li Mingda reached out and rubbed Murong Xue's white and tender little fat face: "Melon seeds are very oily. If you eat too much, you may get acne."
"Tch, this princess is naturally beautiful so she won't get acne."
"Hey, Snow White, everything is white."
Murong Xue blushed: "Ni Zuokai, a gangster."
"(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~"
Wu Xu and Zheng Wanli squatted aside silently, accustomed to Li Mingda and Murong Xue's daily bickering.
Wu Xu felt very unhappy, and she hoped that she was the one who started the quarrel.
Zheng Wanli said that the matter had nothing to do with her and she was determined not to touch the daily relationship between the two bosses, so as not to cause trouble to Chi Yu again.
The four of them lived a leisurely life, but the guards downstairs were not so lax.
As the sky gradually darkened, a carriage protected by more than a dozen guards wearing raincoats stopped under the teahouse in the continuous autumn rain.
The carriage stopped and the accompanying coachman pulled the horse, and a woman in a cloak stepped out of the carriage.
The woman was helped out of the carriage by the maid.
Zheng Wanli looked at the figures below and happily reported to Li Mingda: "Your Highness, Sister Xu Hui is here. I will pick her up."
"Go ahead"
"yes"
Hearing Li Mingda's promise, Zheng Wanli stood up and ran out like a happy little rabbit. She had not seen Xu Hui for a long time after leaving the princess mansion.
Wu Xu looked at the cheerful Zheng Wanli and muttered: "You are such an adult, why are you so unsteady?"
Li Mingda just smiled when he looked at Wu Xu who was dressed in mature clothes. This Wu Xu was really jealous of the good relationship between Zheng Wanli and Xu Hui.
dong dong dong
Zheng Wanli ran down, startling Xu Hui who was waiting for the news.
"Wanli, why did you run down? Consumers Association, don't fall."
Zheng Wanli hugged Xu Hui and said, "Sister Hui misses me so much."
Xu Hui was a little embarrassed, but she still let Zheng Wanli hold her. Zheng Wanli then greeted the guards downstairs and took Xu Hui upstairs.
Push door
Enter
Zheng Wanli: "Princess, Sister Hui is here."
Li Mingda nodded: "The building collapsed because of you."
hey-hey
Zheng Wanli giggled twice and returned to her seat.
Xu Hui looked at Li Mingda's formal salute: "Father Xu Hui pays homage to Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, pays homage to Her Highness Princess Snow White, and pays homage to Miss Wu Xu."
After saying hello three times in a row, she looked like a well-behaved lady. This kind of girl is very suitable for being in the inner house. Li Mingda smiled and raised his hand: "No need to be polite, get up."
Murong Xue and Wu Xu also nodded to express their goodwill.
"Princess Xie"
Li Mingda pointed to the table next to Wu Xu and Zheng Wanli: "Sit down."
Xu Hui got up and walked to the table and sat down obediently. The maid next to her brought tea, water, fruits.
Although she seemed calm on the surface, Xu Hui was actually very worried inside.
Xu Hui was born in the Xu family of the Great Wall. She was the fourth granddaughter of Xu Wenzheng, Marquis of Liang Ciyuan in the Southern Dynasties, the great-granddaughter of Xu Zong, the prefect of Chen Shi'an, and the granddaughter of Xu Fanggui, the Linzhen magistrate of Yanzhou. Her grandmother was the Huang family of Jiangxia. She was the daughter of Shen Guozhongwu Gong of Chen Sikong in the Southern Dynasties. She had a high status. There are few things to worry about.
After returning from the banquet at Princess Li Mingda's mansion, the Xu family never stopped.
First, the marriage proposal was rejected, and there was no sound for a while.
Then all of a sudden, there was a sudden outpouring of people from all kinds of people coming to her, asking for marriage, asking her for advice, and some planning to let her read fortune tellers.
What's more, some people came to ridicule her, saying that she didn't know how to entertain and entertain Her Royal Highness the Princess, and didn't know how to show kindness.
There are also some noble princes from aristocratic families who hate Li Mingda and no longer regard his Xu family as members of the same camp. Not only are they in trouble on the surface, but they are in trouble behind the scenes.
What's even more speechless is that because they rejected Li Mingda's solicitation, the officials who were optimistic about or admired Li Mingda were not very kind to the Xu family.
The Xu family instantly turned into mice in a bellows, being offended by both sides and unable to enter the picture.
Fortunately, Li Mingda didn't send Jin Yiwei to find trouble with their family. Fortunately, Xu Hui's father, Xu Xiaode, was the governor of Erzhou. Li Shimin also valued the Xu family very much, and they were all gone today.
Now, his younger brother Xu Qitan and younger sister Xu Min are both older. Especially the younger brother still has to prepare for an official career. The political situation is completely unfavorable and can only be temporarily shelved.
How to break the game
She and her father Xu Xiaode thought about it for a long time, but in the end they could only start from the very beginning, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness, Princess. Please take care of me this time."
Before Li Mingda could say anything, Murong Xue, who was squatting next to Li Mingda and eating melon seeds, spoke with gritted teeth: "I'll take care of you when you say I'll take care of you. Last time I was unwilling to recruit sincerely, but now it's not easy to do it."
Xu Hui lowered her head silently. She knew that she would inevitably suffer some torture, but she had to bear it for the future of the Xu family.
Zheng Wanli wanted to help but was turned back by Wu Xu's look. She could only turn into a little quail and silently pray for Xu Hui.
Xu Hui forced a smile: "It was indeed Hui who didn't know what to do last time, and Her Royal Highness taught her a lesson."
Li Mingda can't be offended, and Murong Xue can't be offended either. Among the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, she is the only one who can recruit one hundred thousand cavalry in a short time. Not only is she untouchable, she is also the person that the Tang Dynasty can afford to offend. One hand count.
"Originally, since I'm here, I don't want to embarrass you." Li Mingda reached out and patted Murong Xue's head and continued: "But my little white is a bit skinny."
In fact, after this sentence, Li Mingda gave Murong Xue another look: This is too much.
Murong Xue: Don’t worry
Li Mingda: It will be bad if you play it wrong
Murong Xue: I am measured
Li Mingda: Take your time when you turn home
Murong Xue: Oh yes
Xu Hui had no idea that she had been arranged in such a short period of time. Wu Xu had been following Li Mingda and Murong Xue for the longest time, so naturally he knew what was going on, and silently felt sorry for Xu Hui in his heart.
Zheng Wanli could only watch the scene eagerly, hoping that her good sister would pass this test.
Murong Xue smiled her signature fox smile towards Xu Hui: "Miss Xu, between the future of your family and your own integrity, which one do you choose?"
