Love Like the Galaxy

That night, the young merchants wandered around all night, and the next day before dawn, he sent someone to Yuanfu to pass a message, and asked for Yuantou card to send him back to the palace, so Yuan Shen put on a gold and jade inlaid with his servant. The steamed buns carriage, rushing to the Cheng Mansion in time for the chariots, only to hear the puffy-eyed fiancée ask him to break off the engagement with a serious expression.

"What did you say?" Yuan Shen suspected that he had heard it wrong, "The day before yesterday, you said that you would never break off the marriage, but after a day or two you changed your mind? Did you oversleep? It's gone." - In the past few days, because there were people in the local area who resisted Dutian and made the imperial court in a mess, Huo Budo probably didn't have time for anything.

Shao Shang reached the wall of the car with one hand and confirmed: "You heard right, I advise you to quit your relatives quickly, I'm afraid it will be bad if it's too late."

"What happened yesterday, who came to find you." Yuan Shen was very alert.

The young merchant general Luo Jitong's visit, Yuan Shen looked solemn: "...so soon. I didn't expect him to have no affection for the Luo family. Turn your face."

Shaoshang turned over and sat down against the wall of the car without speaking.

Yuan Shen beat his palms with his fists and sneered: "But this is not uncommon, the Queen Mother of Huai'an and the King of Donghai treat him with such closeness and trust, Huo Budo betrayed them even if they said they would betray them! "

Shao Shang thought this was harsh, but he couldn't refute it.

Yuan Shen cursed in a low voice, and then pretended to joke: "It's just that he broke up with the Luo family, what do you mean by asking me to withdraw from the relationship? Is it possible that he will be free once he gets married? Are you going to pounce on him?"

"You know I'm not." Shaoshang sneered, "I hate the word "forgiveness" the most in my life, and it is because of these words that some people hurt others without any scruples, anyway, after the situation changes If you admit a mistake and accompany a guilt, someone will always tell you to forget it. Hmph, there are some things in the world that are done, and if you are hurt, you are hurt, why do you have to forgive me!" Like her, she would never forgive Cheng. Mother and Greg.

—Father Cheng and Mrs. Xiao can still say that they are fighting for the future for the family and children. She can enjoy the wealth and stability that they have won, but Mother Cheng is so selfish and selfish, just for the sake of herself. If you live with your son and daughter-in-law, you will hurt an innocent child. Even if she dies in the future, she will not forgive her. Not all old people are worthy of respect!

Yuan Shen was silent for a moment, then said: "Then why are you so eager to ask me to retire? The Luo family is also not a general family. After this humiliation, would it be easy to let Huo Buyu go? What's the matter? Simple."

The young businessman did not answer, but instead said: "Do you know Huo Buxuan's habit of acting? When the King of the East Sea resigned from the throne, I helped go to the East Palace to pack things, and turned to the earlier years for Huo. Undoubtedly the dossier for merit and the letter he wrote to the King of the East Sea."

Yuan Shen looked at her suspiciously.

"There is such a thing, he was about sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, the emperor assigned him and Zhang Yao to go to Yuzhou to destroy two bandit villages. One of the two bandit villages was in Liang State, and the other was in Liang. In Lu County; to tell the truth, the bandit village in Liang State was indeed relatively lonely, so the emperor originally sent Huo Budo to Liang State. However, Zhang Yao has always been indignant and told people that he was here this time. As a foil for the emperor's adopted son, Huo Budo took the initiative to exchange with Zhang Yao."

Yuan Shen said: "Zhang Yao is indeed a narrow-minded person, and he actually cares about a weak young man. It is no wonder that even if his martial arts are extraordinary, His Majesty does not look down on him."

"The King of the East Sea was worried about Huo Budo, but Huo Budo reassured him in the letter, saying that although the gang of thieves in Liang country were few, they came from the same clan, and they were close relatives and blood-connected. The Lu County group, although there are many people, are gathered in one place by the rabble from the south and the north, and they gather for the benefit, and they will disperse when the benefit is exhausted.”

Yuan Shen noted the details: "When was that letter written."

"The two groups of people have just left the capital."

"In other words, long ago, His Majesty intended them to suppress the bandits, and Huo Budo had already inquired about the situation of the two bandit villages."

"Exactly."

Yuan Shen stroked his sleeves and remained silent.

Shaoshang continued: "Then the situation turned out as Huo Budo had expected, Zhang was unable to attack for a long time, and his troops and horses suffered heavy casualties. Take the bandit stronghold lightly... hum, the heads of several of the bandit leaders were cut off by their own people to atone for their crimes."

Yuan Shen frowned: "...This is a coincidence. If Zhang Yao is not a narrow-minded person, if the two sides do not fight, I don't know how it will end."

"Don't worry, what you've been waiting for will come in two years." Shao Shang said in a sullen voice, "At that time, His Majesty had just taken down Longdi and wanted to chase down a few scattered deserters. It's not that someone disliked Huo Budo and asked him to chase the deserters from the enemy's brother-in-law. It's a pity that Huo Budo had just come down from a tragic battle at that time. The enemy troops are either dead soldiers who have been reared for many years, or soldiers of the same clan and clan."

Yuan Shen remembered, his face gloomy: "I know about this, Huo Budo caught up with the defeated soldiers, and fought **** to the end without saying a word, and finally returned to the camp with the head of the enemy chief to return to his life, and again It's good to keep the injury in Cui Hou's house for half a year."

Huo Budo, who had not yet reached the crown at the time, was impressed and said, "General Huo Chong has a successor," and ignored Ling Yi.

Shaoshang nodded: "Now you understand, he dares to cut off with the Luo family suddenly, either because he has a backhand, the Luo family does not dare to turn his face against him, or he will go out and ignore it, not Afraid of feuding with the Luo family."

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Shen was suspicious.

Shao Shang said: "Similarly, if he dared to suddenly ask me to quit my relationship with you, either he planned to make a later move, or he planned to fight it out. Master Yuan, how are you going to deal with it?"

Yuan Shen was sullen: "Am I still afraid of him!"

, people are pointing at you, what should you do?" Few men are willing to be the protagonists of the scandal, let alone the male supporting roles who are suspected to be green clouds.

Yuan Shen was really dumbfounded.

When the palace gate arrived, Shaoshang patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder: "Think about it, Huo Buzhu will bite when he is crazy, you can't bite it back. Don't worry about me. , although I suffered a lot of losses in his hands, but he did not fall well."

Yuan Shen thought that Shaoshang said biting people was a metaphor, but Shaoshang was telling the truth.

The two parted in front of the palace gate. Yuan Shen was full of lawsuits, and he almost took the wrong way to Shangshutai.

The Empress Dowager Xuan was still ill, and she was drowsy. She didn't even know that Shaoshang had returned to Yong'an Palace. Shao Shang was very sad; When Huo Budo's lawsuit started, Shao Shang snorted at Huo Budo in annoyance, and the amused Empress Dowager couldn't stop chuckling.

After a few days, the name of the little girl of the Cheng family spread all over the capital again.

First, the captain of Changshui, Luo Bin, announced in public that he was going to recruit a son-in-law for his widowed daughter, which shocked the dignitaries in the capital. Those who knew better knew that the prince wanted Luo Jitong to marry Huo Budo As a wife, they all know that the Luo family is overjoyed to see it succeed. In the current situation, it is obviously not that the Luo family suddenly went crazy, that is, Huo Buzhu changed his mind.

There is no need to negotiate in advance, everyone looked at the Cheng family in unison, and it was not enough for the sad father Cheng to avoid the Luo family, so he had to report illness and avoid it.

What's even more strange is that, according to the precedent of Yuan Shen's divorce from the Cai family, Huo Budo should have some apologies to the Luo family, but looking at the Luo family's actions, it seems that this is not the case. Luo Bin first let his daughter live in seclusion to recuperate, refused all invitations to banquets and gatherings, and then said that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but refused all relatives and friends to propose marriage, as if he wanted to marry his daughter far away - so it seems that the Luo family treats Huo Bu Doubtful and fearful, it's really weird.

At the same time, Huo Budo was carrying rare things such as tiger bones, bear bile, deer antler, wild ginseng, marten fur, falcon, etc., as well as gold gems brought by the caravan from the remote Mobei The ivory spice steed and mammoth went to Chengfu in a mighty manner.

Cheng Shi remembered how her daughter was sad and seriously ill back then, and wanted to beat someone in anger, Huo Budo knelt down and beat and scolded his ex, or Mrs. Xiao held her husband tightly—the emperor did not beat him Over him, you can't do it!

The three were deadlocked for a long time, and finally each said a paragraph.

Mrs. Xiao's words were more high-level: "You don't have to come to apologize to us. Although we are both parents, we have never cared and disciplined her since we were young. Now it's too late to regret it. What do you want to do in the future? We all decide the way we want to marry, and what kind of person we want to marry... You take all these things back."

Huo Budo naturally refused, and only said: "I didn't want the two adults to intercede for me, but because of the misfortune I caused, the Cheng family was almost implicated. I can't feel at ease about this."

Cheng Shi clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Five years ago, Ling was almost dead. Don't think that you suffered during your exile, but you don't know how many times you died. If you don't believe it, you can go to the backyard. Take a look at the row house, there is still a coffin that has been half-beaten."

Huo Budo raised his head suddenly, and finally left calmly and silently.

After the people left, Mrs. Xiao asked her husband: "Why did you tell Huo about the serious illness? I thought you always agreed with Yuan Shanjian as your son-in-law." won't let go.

Cheng Shi sighed: "If Yuan Shanjian did something that he couldn't do, would you say that he would be so ill?" - How deep is love, how deep is hatred, and how deep is the hurt. will be so heavy. He is a past person, and I hope his daughter will not regret it in the future.

In the courtyard, the old steward Cheng was dazzled by the gifts piled up like mountains. Among them was an eye-popping antler, and there were more than two dozen sturdy branches scattered across the board. One zhang wide, ordinary gates could not be moved in, the old steward could only open the doors on both sides of the main gate before getting in this priceless deer antler.

When I counted the gifts, my mouth was sore, and I was almost out of breath. The old steward said to Fu Yi, the son of his old friend, why the head of the family didn't have more daughters, otherwise what would our family be like? scenery.

Fu Yi thought to himself that with only one daughter, it would be too much trouble.

Cheng Shaogong saw that the house was busy, so he asked the fifth to help with the transportation, and the fifth stared: "Why tell me to move?"

"Because you should be very happy." Cheng Shaogong smiled, "The future bride of the son of Yuan Zhoumu, whom you hate so much, will be taken away!"

Fifth is sluggish.

After such a big fanfare, everyone from the capital to the nobles and nobles, down to the merchants and pawns, were so excited that they turned their attention to the three families of Huo Yuancheng. In the restaurant, in the restaurant, after retreating, there was a lot of discussion—

It is said that Mr. Ban Laohou sighed, "I wonder if I can see Huo Chong's son getting married in my lifetime";

It is said that Tingwei Ji Zun silently retracted the memorial, saying that he would resign only after seeing Huo Buxuan getting married;

It is said that Yuan Shen broke off the marriage with the Cai family desperately for the sake of the little lady of the Cheng family. Is this retribution now?

It is said that King Ruyang 'lost his words' after drinking, and described in detail the situation of Huo Buxuan and Cheng Shaoshang's love and affection when they were traveling. It is said that the intimacy of Huo Cheng and the two when they got along was seen...

For a time, the lush ancient branches and leaves above Yuan Mansion seemed to be more and more green and green.

However, the people in the capital are most interested in how this matter will develop?

This one said that Mrs. Cheng would listen to her family's advice and abandon Yuan Shan's views and become Huo Budo; that one said that Mrs. Cheng and Huo Buxuan would hug each other and cry sooner or later, and she couldn't help it; The little lady refused to break off the marriage after she died, and then Huo Budo took it by force, and Yuan Cheng wanted to be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks; it was even said that Huo Budo was ruthless and determined to find an opportunity to get rid of her rival in love. Of course, some people retorted that Huo Budo was a man To be honest, it is estimated that there will be a public duel to **** the beauty... Oh, my God, it is exciting to think about it!

The prince was also filled with rumors and sighed: "Zisheng, why are you so idle, the father ordered the execution of more than a dozen county governors who were dishonest in their fields, all of them I don't see everyone talking, I just stare at your business."

Huo Budo was silent for a moment: "I didn't expect it."

—He deliberately chose to leave the Luo family and go to Chengfu during these days, thinking that everyone's attention was on the matter of saving the land, but he underestimated the gossip enthusiasm of the people in the capital. Now the situation is reversed, and with his scandals in the way, few people are long-winded by the emperor's order to strictly enforce the law.

The emperor said that his adopted son is very powerful and he is very satisfied,

The scandal quickly fermented, even Cai Yun, who was idle at home, felt pity for his disciple and ex-niece-in-law, he couldn't help but said: "Good view, why did you have to quit your relatives back then? If not, you and my concubine will have children at this time."

Yuan Shen was silent.

Back home, Yuan Shen went to see his father after changing his clothes, but he was stunned when he saw his mother, Mrs. Liang.

"...that's the way it is. Please my parents believe that Shaoshang didn't do anything out of the ordinary. apologize.

Yuan Pei also heard about the scandal outside, but laughed very openly: "A fair lady, a gentleman is a good man, he can't ask for it, and he tossed and turned. In ancient times, men and women yearned for an elegant thing. It's okay to pass it on." He said, coughing twice.

"Father..." Yuan Shen was surprised.

Mrs. Liang smiled and said, "Your father traveled home back then and told his parents that he wanted to marry the fifth marriage ceremony. My mother cried and didn't want to live anymore. At that time, the whole county was watching the jokes of the Yuan family, and the female family members of the family went out for a banquet, and they were often made fun of 'your family Peirang has stopped'? Hehe, isn't this also coming."

She took the robe handed over by the maid and put it on Yuan Pei softly. Yuan Shen saw his parents being close, and felt uncomfortable, and whispered: "This, how is it the same? It's the 'hate of taking his wife', if you show weakness, won't the Yuan family become a laughing stock!"

"Shan Jian, come here." Yuan Pei waved gently, Yuan Shenyi went to his father's side and sat down.

Yuan Pei gently caressed his son's pretty shoulders, and said warmly: "You are strict and self-disciplined since you were young, you don't need elders to supervise your studies and arts, and you can shine on the Yuan family's lintel whether you are studying or becoming an official in the dynasty. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, you have grown up and can be alone, but you feel a lack of being a father and have never spoken to you properly."

"You broke off your engagement with the Cai family and asked to marry the Cheng family. I'm afraid it's the first time in your life that you have made a move that has nothing to do with profit or loss in your life." The son with only three heads, such a cute little chubby doll of Yu Xue, his tender mouth was spitting bubbles, and he was pulling on his trouser legs and refused to let it go.

, you might as well be more generous, let it be, to complete the marriage of others, you are also a true gentleman. Huo Hou will be thinking of your kindness and will help our Yuan family in the future. If the former... My son, you Have you figured it out?"

Father's eyes were vicissitudes but wise, like a beam of light entering his heart, Yuan Shen couldn't help but be at a loss—

Actually the first time he saw Shaoshang in the light market, he didn't think so. After seeing her several times, he only thought that she was clever and interesting, but she was unruly and arrogant, which was also popular. He thought that it would be good to marry back.

Who knows, after that, he was always a step late, and over time, it became an obsession; but since Huo Buzhu was stuck in front, he also calmly found another beautiful woman as a wife. Until, until more than five years ago...

The starry and moonless night appeared in front of him. After hearing the news, he rushed into the palace and saw her coming out along the palace alley.

And grievance weighed down the exhaustion of the shoulders.

When she raised her head, her dry eyes, which were full of tears, were bigger and darker than usual, and the cold gaze that shot at him instantly burned his heart—Yuan Shen felt a breathless excitement , the compassion that is almost admirable, is a moving that he has never experienced in his orderly 21-year life.

However, he never knew how to deal with this kind of affection.
