    Just after Dayan established its capital in Tianjing and the situation in the court became increasingly stable, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the south showed signs of chaos.  Dating back to four months ago, on the eve of the An Dynasty's fall, the two empress dowagers and Empress Xia Jiang took the young prince Liu Ying to Luoyang Palace for refuge.  In August of the same year, Liu Ying, who was only six years old, was crowned emperor in Luoyang. Neighboring states and counties responded one after another, while Emperor Chongzhen, who was stranded in Tianjing, was "abdicated" without his knowledge.  The next month, the southern expedition army sent by Emperor Yan arrived in Luoyang and took three days to break through the city. The two empress dowagers and empress dowager Xia Jiangshi once again escaped with the young emperor in embarrassment and went straight to Fujian.  One hundred thousand Yan army soldiers divided into two groups, pursued all the way south, and followed closely to recruit security and deal with the aftermath. The war burned from Luoyang to the south of the Yangtze River.  Facing the battle-hardened Dayan cavalry, the soldiers and horses of the former imperial guard were vulnerable, let alone the temporarily summoned rebels.  The remnant party of the previous dynasty went from being defeated repeatedly to surrendering without a fight. The young emperor and the Queen Mother Xia Jiang also disappeared during the war. The two Queen Mothers Rui and Xue were captured and escorted back to Beijing.  At the end of October, Emperor Yan canonized the Ji family as empress and announced it to the world.  Not long after the canonization ceremony, the imperial envoy Guan Yu returned from Luoyang and arrived in the capital escorting more than ten prison cars, in which all the remnants of the previous dynasty were imprisoned, including the Rui family and the Xue family.  Emperor Yan did not express his anger and blame for running away the little emperor's mother and son. He received a memorial from Guan Yu asking for credit for General Ma Penghui and other generals in the southern expedition, and approved it that night.  The next morning, he showed favor to the court and appointed Guan Yu as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He received the bachelor of Wuyingdian and was admitted to the cabinet. Ma Penghui was granted the title of Yong Yibo, and was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a bloody horse.  The rest of the people talked about merit and rewards, so I won¡¯t go into details.  Guan Yu instantly became a celebrity in front of the emperor, and was targeted by a group of people as soon as he went to court.  For no other reason, this newly promoted bachelor has just turned thirty this year. He is not a young man, but he was born elegant and handsome. He married and died of illness in his early years, leaving only a daughter who is still young. She has no father, no mother, and no brothers. She is really a person.  A satisfactory son-in-law candidate.  Seeing that after the emperor was established, all the ministers in the court were thinking of getting married. Whoever has children should not act first.  So as soon as the morning came, Guan Yu was surrounded by people, who congratulated him and tried to get close to him.  Yu Shu and Xue Rui would not join in the fun, and there was no need to fawn over anyone. The two walked out of the Tai Chi Hall while talking. When passing by this group of people, Yu Shu turned around and glanced at the manager.  Yu, seeing what he looked like, immediately guessed what these people were up to, and couldn't help but smile.  Xue Rui only saw her laughing at Guan Yu's pretty face, coughed, and said: "You don't think this guy looks gentle and upright, but he is actually very cunning. When I led the troops to capture Dingzhou, this guy followed behind to take advantage.  , who had never seen a drop of blood but got a share of military glory from the battle report sent back to Dadu. This time, he also used sweet words to coax the emperor into sending him as an imperial envoy to the south, following Ma Penghui to grab the credit, and actually asked him to sneak into the cabinet.  " Yu Shu knew there was something wrong with his words as soon as he heard it. If Guan Yu was really so unbearable, he would have eradicated him early on. How could he allow people to flatter him in front of Emperor Yan?  She did not expose Xue Rui, but said: "This person has a peach-shaped face. He will be in trouble soon after he is proud. Just wait and see."  The two of them laughed and talked and walked out of the palace. Xue Rui could ride in the palace in a sedan chair, but he was more willing to accompany her for a longer walk. How could he not cherish the day and night companionship he had gained through so much hard work?  During today¡¯s free time, Xue Rui asked her to go out for a walk in the afternoon. He didn¡¯t tell her where to go. He just told her to dress comfortably and casually. He would pick her up then.  It seems that although they have agreed to get married, one is busy revising books and the other is busy reorganizing Si Tianjian, and so far they have not even had time for a tryst.  When Yu Shu returned home, she first had someone prepare hot water and eat a bowl of nourishing Jade Dew Soup. Then she went to take a bath. She only had to sit in the tub while the maids and slaves washed her hair, wiped her back, and massaged her hands and feet.  There is a fire dragon burning in the ground, but it doesn't feel cold.  In her early years, she was not used to having people waiting for her, but after she reached a high position, this problem slowly changed. She was really tired outside, and she could no longer enjoy herself and work hard to earn the glory and wealth when she got home.  What's the use?  "I'll go out later and find some light clothes." She ordered. The maid outside the bathroom door responded and turned to look for Sister Xin'er, who was in charge of the clothes box.  By the time Yu Shu got out of the bath and returned to the bedroom from the small door corridor wearing a fleece coat, Xin'er had already packed out all the newly cut clothes and skirts for this season, even matched the boots and pendants one by one, and put them on the  In front of you.  This winter is not too cold. There was a light snowfall the day before yesterday. The sun has risen again in the past two days. Yu Shu can't stand the cold but the heat, so he asked the maid to put away the long-haired coat and cloak and pick up the clothes.  She is dressed in a sapphire-colored brocade cotton lining with double-breasted sleeves. Only the cuffs are trimmed with black fox fur piping.Wear a crow-green pleated long skirt that reaches the heels, revealing thick-soled lapis lazuli cloud-toe boots, and hang a string of crystal tassels around the waist to complete the look.  After drying her hair, she sat in front of the mirror and dressed herself up. She put it into a peach blossom bun, put on a fashionable sable velvet hairpin, and embellished it with two agate hairpins. She had fair skin, no need to apply powder, and dipped a silk sponge into a thin layer of rouge on her cheeks.  Blend the edges and dot a little on the lips. The best thing is the pair of willow-leaf curved eyebrows that do not need to be modified. The eyebrows are dotted with gold foil flowers. When you look in the mirror with the makeup, who can think of this beautiful lady with ice-cold muscles and jade bones?  There is a rumored generation of female ministers whose hands and eyes can reach the sky.  "The girl's eyebrows are so well-grown, but it's a pity that they are always drawn thickly and sharply," Lin'er muttered after finishing her makeup with skillful hands. Seeing Xin'er frowning at her, she didn't dare to say any more.  There are many rumors outside that their girl is a disfigured girl. In fact, the scar between her eyebrows is not ugly. It¡¯s just that the girl likes to use cinnabar paste to paint it into a eye-catching firework. She also wants to create a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows that resemble a man¡¯s.  , people are intimidated, and they dare not look directly at her face.  Yu Shu looked in the mirror and felt that she was prettier than usual, more like a woman, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was the head of Si Tianjian, a first-class minister who towered over everyone.  In the court, there is no prestige.  "Let someone go ahead and see if Prince Ping's carriage and horses have arrived." She stood up holding the maid's hand and walked back and forth twice in the room, slowing down her pace in a ladylike manner.  After a while, Prince Ping arrived outside the door and was waiting in the living room.  Yu Shu picked Xiaokui to follow, and went straight to the front yard without taking anyone else with him.  When I walked outside the living room door, I heard talking and laughing inside. One was Xue Rui and the other was Yu Xiu.  "Hahaha, then Zhao Da got scared and thought he was really lame. He cried and shouted that he would never dare again. He begged for mercy with snot and tears, so I pulled out the dark scar on his leg.  Needle, if you spare him this time, he will never dare to go to another hospital to blackmail anyone again. " "You did the right thing. If you bully someone like me, you have to let him suffer the consequences."  Go kill people." Yu Shu stood behind the door for a while. When he heard them chatting happily, he couldn't help but raised his lips and walked in - "What are you talking about?" Xue Rui looked back and saw her new look, and her heart palpitated.  , others can look warm by wearing red or yellow in winter, but she is the only one who matches such cold colors, and is equally suitable, and has a very graceful look, and her rare coquettishness makes his heart melt.  When Yu Shu saw his hot eyes, she knew that she had dressed up correctly today. She glanced at him, turned to her brother and said, "Why are you back so early today?" Yu Xiu grinned and said, "Hu Tian'er made an appointment with me in the afternoon.  I went with him to choose a birthday gift for his little sister, so my father asked me to go home first. I happened to meet the prince at the door. I will entertain the guests for you, hehe. "Thanks to Yu Shu, Father Hu was not dismissed from office.  He was still serving as a minister in the Ministry of Rites. Unfortunately, although his father-in-law, Guo Huai'an, minister of Dali Temple, was a talented person, he devoted himself to serving as an official and did not want to stay in the court. Xue Rui remembered his original love and asked Emperor Yan for permission to retire in old age, but did not bother him.  crime.  "You are going out, right? Go quickly." Yu Xiu stood up and walked out. He passed by Yu Shu, turned his back to Xue Rui and blinked at her. He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that we just agreed, you have  Take me to the countryside to ride on a horse and hunt.¡±  When you get closer, you can see that you know something.  Yu Shu's tone was helpless: "Who makes this kid never forget his brother Xue? If he doesn't tell him a little bit, he will just think that I am a heartless person." "You two siblings are very affectionate people." Xue Rui stepped forward.  He went to hold her hand, lowered his head to look closely at her eyebrows, turned sideways to cover the view outside the living room door, and came up to her eyebrows to peck her gently.  "Ashu is good-looking no matter what." Yu Shu poked his chin with a finger and pushed his face away, smiling at the corners of his eyes and mouth: "Where are we going?" "Walking anywhere," Xue Rui pretended.  , just pulling her out, Yu Shu twitched her hand twice but failed to pull it back, so she let him go.  Several servants on duty in the front yard saw it, and most of them smiled secretly and turned their backs to avoid making the couple uncomfortable.  Xue Rui led her to the carriage, supported her waist and got into the carriage. The curtains of the carriage were lowered, and he confided in his heart: "I had to pretend to be brother and sister to get close to you, and to meet you secretly. I have been looking forward to this.  After a long time, I can finally walk beside you upright." Yu Shu felt a little sad at his words, holding his arm and leaning on his shoulder, and responded softly: "I am looking forward to today." Xue Rui is satisfied.  , no longer lamenting the past, but talking about it with her.The story: "Our wedding is scheduled for the twelfth lunar month. In the next half month, when the palace is properly arranged, let the Ministry of Etiquette deliver the betrothal gift to your door. It is the emperor's grace. Because the treasury is empty, it will not be too generous. Don't be wronged and look back."  I will give you another share." Yu Shu raised his head when he heard this and reminded him: "Didn't you give me your share a long time ago?" When they separated five years ago, he solemnly treated all his wealth as a betrothal gift.  The land was handed over to her, the Wangji Building was his hard work, and the fifty thousand taels of gold was his family fortune.  He could give her everything, so what else could she feel wronged about.  The two of them were riding in a carriage from the north of the city to the south of the city, stopping and stopping along the way.  Xue Rui said he wanted to take her out for a walk, but not aimlessly, but to revisit the old places. First he went to Qiu Guifang, the street where they met again in the capital after parting ways in Yiyang.  "You had a fortune-telling stall outside this teahouse, do you remember?" Xue Rui sat in the car and pointed to the old teahouse across the street.  "Of course I remember," Yu Shu laughed angrily when he thought about it, "I was embarrassed that day and you saw it all. You still pretended not to know me. It's really hateful." Xue Rui shook his head and pointed to a seat under the teahouse.  Tell her: "Then you must not know. Because I saw you being bullied, I investigated the rent-collecting gangs on this street, found out their backers, and dealt with them severely to vent your anger."  " "Huh?" Yu Shu never heard him talk about it.  Xue Rui asked the coachman to continue walking south, and soon arrived at another place that Yu Shu was familiar with. There was an alley on Huixing Street, and there was a small courtyard in the alley. It was her first place to stay in the capital.  At that time, she, Xiao Xiu, Jing Chen, and Xia Jiangmin lived under the same roof.  The carriage stopped at the roadside. Xue Rui and she got out of the car and walked forward. The people living nearby were ordinary people. When they saw a man and woman in rich clothes appearing at the intersection, they all looked sideways.  Neither Xue Rui nor Yu Shu paid attention to the looks of others. They walked through a crowded place and approached the entrance of the alley. Xue Rui suddenly stopped. Yu Shu took two steps past him and looked back at him, "What's wrong?" Xue Rui asked quietly.  : "You must not know that during the time you lived here, every time I sent you to the alley, I would not leave until you were gone. I always hoped that you would look back at me." Then.  At that time, she had someone else in her heart, and she was afraid to avoid him. If he hadn't persevered, there would be no way she could look back.  Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, feeling his disappointment and loneliness that day from his brief words. Her heart trembled and she blurted out to him: "This is not easy. Just stand still." As she spoke, she backed away.  Turn your back and take a step forward, look back at him, then turn your back and take a step forward, look back at him again, and just look back at him step by step until his face is filled with a smile that is even brighter than the sunset.  .  After leaving Huixing Street, Xue Rui took her to the old house where their siblings and Zhao Hui's family originally lived in the south of the city.  Went to the Chunlan River to see the Qiongyu Tower of Shuangyanghui.  Went to Yushi Lake where they went boating in the summer.  Of course, there is also the Wangji Tower where the two of them fell in love.  Everywhere he went, he could tell something that she didn't know, which made her both moved and distressed, and waiting for him made her even more sincere.  When night fell, the carriage stopped outside the Dingbo Pavilion.  After dark, the temperature dropped sharply. Xue Rui tied a cloak on her to keep out the cold, and led her into the inner courtyard.  Uncle Zhong had been waiting for them to come back. When he saw Yu Shu, he bowed to greet him: "I haven't seen you for a while. How are you, miss?" Yu Shu nodded at him and said with a pleasant smile, "Uncle Zhong has worked hard to take care of the prince these days." Uncle Zhong smiled.  Hehehe said, "It's not hard work or hard work, it's all the old slave's duty. The garden has prepared food and wine, the prince and the girl will move on." Looking at their figures accompanying each other hand in hand, they looked very pleased - he could take the place of the deceased.  The master watched the eldest son get married and start a business, so he repaid his kindness.  The garden of Dingbo Pavilion is different from other places. There is a natural lake here with extremely deep water. Therefore, there is a stone bridge over thirty feet long on the lake. Because the bridge is carved with colorful paintings of birds taking flight, it is peaceful every night.  The bright starry sky is reflected on the lake, and the entire bridge seems to be erected on the Milky Way, so it is nicknamed "Magpie Bridge".  "It's a pity that the moon and stars are sparse tonight, and there are no lights on the bridge. The lake is pitch black, and we can't see the beautiful view of the Magpie Bridge soaring into the sky.  A table of exquisite wine and food is placed in the waterside pavilion by the lake. Fires are placed in the four corners to keep warm. Bamboo curtains hang down on both sides to block the gusts of east wind. People do not feel cold at all. Accompanied by the silver moon, it adds to the atmosphere.  A lot of fun.  "I'd like to toast to you brother. I wish you good health and all your wishes come true." Yu Shu filled the glass and offered it to Xue Rui.  Xue Rui held her wrist and did not take the glass of wine. His eyes flickered and he embarrassed her and said: "Although I like to hear you call me big brother, it is not intimate enough, and it will be even more disrespectful to be a couple in the future. Can you  Would you like to change your name?¡±Yu Shu was very affectionate towards him at this time, so he complied with his wishes: "Then what should I call you?"  "Chengbi is not appropriate." "Then what is your current name?"  Give me a nickname." "How can this be done?" After hearing his nonsense, Yu Shu suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Words are given by elders and cannot be chosen casually."  Who knew that Xue Rui was serious? His expression didn't look like he was joking at all - "My name is just a title that leaves me with no belonging. You are the person closest to me in the world. You know my identity well."  Life experience, understand my past, and will accompany me for the rest of my life. I hope to have a mark with a different meaning imprinted on my body, so that I will never forget who I am at any time. Ashu, can you give it to me?  ?¡± Yu Shu was silent for a long time, freed up a hand to dip into the glass of wine, and wrote on the table in front of him, jokingly: ¡°You know that I haven¡¯t read many poetry books, so they are written in large characters.  I don¡¯t know how to make things difficult for you. Even if you don¡¯t like it, you can¡¯t change it.¡±  After seeing this word clearly, his frown relaxed, his smile brightened, and his dark eyes lit up like stars.  Yu Shu said in a soft voice: "A gentleman is like jade, and he should be like Jinyu, and 'Yu' is a beautiful jade. The eldest brother values ????love and commitment, and is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. In my mind, he is a unique gentleman and my Yu Lang." This sound "  "Yulang" came out of her mouth, which was extremely pleasant to the ears and had more than just connotation.  Yulang sounds like Yulang, and he is clearly calling her husband Yu Shu. The affection is lingering and sweet.  "Okay, from now on, I will be your Yulang." Xue Rui held up her wrist, leaned forward and drank the glass of wine, took away the empty glass, grabbed her wrist and pulled her from the seat.  He stood up, took her into his arms, turned to the railing, put his arms around her flexible waist, held her hand tightly, and stared down at her face, lovingly.  "Do you still remember that year at the Hibiscus Gentleman's Banquet? I jumped into the bottom of the lake to look for a hibiscus lantern made of real gold wicks. In order to win a golden hibiscus, even if I couldn't express my feelings to you in public, I still wanted to let you see my sincerity.  "You must not know that I am not good at water. When I jumped, I had only one thought in my mind - I can't give you to others even if I die. " Yu Shu was moved after a whole day.  At this moment, the love was rising like a tide, and he didn't know how to express his love. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a dazzling red light explode from the dark lake behind him, and countless dancing sparks appeared.  It was a shooting star, streaking across the silent lake, and the phosphorescent light in the sky flashed from the other side to our eyes.  Countless red lotus lanterns were lit one after another on the lake, like a sea of ??flowers blooming under the moon. The Magpie Bridge in the center of the lake emerged out of thin air. It turned out that thousands of lanterns were lit on the bridge, spanning the Milky Way.  The picture was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to blink, and he snatched the line - "Life and death are different, tell me about it. I just want to hold my hand and grow old together with you." "Yulang" r1152
