Chapter 183 Qin Xiao and Ming
"Brother Xiao, I guessed that no one could play with me except you."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a long time. He never thought that Xia Ruoyan's piano skills were so superb, and he barely kept up. The realm of Kunshan moon broken phoenix cries, Furong weeping and fragrant orchids laughing is not everyone can achieve. Seeing that Xiao Ran did not say anything, Xia Ruoyan thought that the other party was dissatisfied with his concealment of the rhythm, and quickly explained, "Is Brother Xiao blaming Yaner? Yaner just wants to surprise Brother Xiao, not to deceive him.
People who fall in love will always pay special attention to each other's feelings, let alone cheating. Xia Ruoyan seemed to have been wronged, and a layer of rain and fog rose in her eyes. Xiao Ran came back from his surprise and blamed himself. How could Xia Ruoyan's background not understand the rhythm? He hurriedly replied, "No, no, Yaner was misunderstood."
Because he waved too eagerly, he didn't notice the purple flute in his hand at all. With a bang, he knocked firmly on the forehead. Xia Ruoyan sneered and said, "I told you to be in a daze, hum."
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and touched the swollen bag on the top of his head, and shouted softly. Xia Ruoyan gave him a white look and said andly, "Dumb, are you hurt?" Xiao Ran smiled. The world only knows that the IQ of women in love is zero, but they don't know that the IQ of men in love is negative. Even if both of them are extremely shrewd, they can't escape this.
The two walked along the path to a pavilion. The pavilion is surrounded by several lotus ponds, and the water is rippling. All kinds of fish are playing in the pool. The accident just now quickly restored the previous relationship, less angry and a little closer. In fact, both of them know each other's intentions, but it's difficult to express them. But strong feelings can be seen from words and deeds.
Xiao Ran said, "I have visited my uncle and aunt yesterday to explain my intention. My uncle and aunt have agreed with me to date you.
Xia Ruoyan gently "um" put down the medieval kite and said, "Are your parents in trouble for you?"
Xiao Ran didn't know that Xia Ruoyan was watching all the way and said it roughly, skipped the danger and looked like he was about to be captured. Xia Ruoyan sighed in his heart and said, "My cousin and my playmates since childhood may be under the pressure of my uncle. Sometimes you can't decide everything by yourself.
Xiao Ran looked at Hetang and said firmly, "In any case, I won't let Yaner entrust myself to others."
Xia Ruoyan smiled, with a little bitterness in his smile: "Brother Xiao, do you know that Dad has a verbal marriage contract with the Wu family?"
"At this time, I heard the children's song and mentioned that the Xia family held half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, which was easy to be suspected. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. That's why my uncle made a marriage contract to prevent Zheng Wu's two families from getting together. It is said that a little farewell is better than a new marriage, and it should have been just together. But what the two need is not a short period of joy, but a long time together. At this time, we have to face it sooner or later, and simply clarify the situation. It's good to prepare early.
"Because my father is the head of the family, and Yan'er is the only daughter of the family. I have no choice, so I knew it very early. In order not to worry her parents, Yaner can only pretend not to know. Leaving home is to walk in the world. Even if you marry into a boudoir, it will not be in vain. I never thought I would meet such a touching man as Brother Xiao. Will Brother Xiao blame Yaner and drag Brother Xiao into these disputes knowing that his future is worrisome? Is the smoke too capricious and extravagant?" Xia Ruoyan's face showed a kind of sadness that had never been seen before.
"What would you be like if you hadn't met the smoke? No goal or motivation. Living the same life as ordinary people, maybe a disciple of a Jianghu gang, busy with his livelihood and living in deception? From the beginning, she took off the same kind of person as herself and liked to hide her true self in her heart. The difference was that Yaner used unruly and capriciousness to prevent outsiders from approaching, and she showed her indifference. Is it wrong to pursue your own happiness?
Under such circumstances, how much determination does it take for Yaner to still choose to show her feelings to herself? Maybe even Yaner didn't expect to get to this point. With unbelievable things. Slowly growing up and strengthening the original idea. Even if there is only a trace of 10,000, it can't be let go. Happiness is not waiting, it is fought for by yourself.
Xiao Ran held Xia Ruoyan's soft and boneless jade hand tightly, and his eyes were deep: "I only believe that people will win the sky! Xiao Ran has never changed his mind.
Xia Ruoyan had tears falling from the corners of her eyes and muttered, "I hope your heart is like mine, and you will live up to your lovesickness!"
After a long time, Xia Ruoyan blushed and pulled her hand back, turned her head aside, and calmed down and said, "Dad stabbed the capital for the school inspection of the imperial city after March, and the Xia family will have two teams to test. The original plan was to let cousin Xia Yu and his second brother go. I'm afraid that the second brother can't train soldiers to recover from his injuries. Therefore, Yaner hopes to recommend Brother Xiao to go there. If you win a big victory, you can ask the emperor to marry. It also avoids the worry of divorce.
Xiao Ran thought about it and found that it was indeed a good idea, but the premise was how to persuade Xia Shuangtian to lead his troops, and it was hard to say whether he could win. Xia Ruoyan seemed to see what Xiao Ran was thinking and said, "As long as Brother Xiao agrees, Dad's Yaner and the second brother will think about it."
"Well, I prepared for this earlier and thanked my second brother for me."
Xia Ruoyan nodded and said, "Have there been any major events in the world recently? The two masters hurried back to Kunlun, and Yan'er was a little worried about them."
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Although Ren Xiaoyao paid, the Heavenly Demon Sect regrouped. However, Wulin Zhengdao has elected Master Yuanfeng, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, as the leader of Wulin League. It is enough to compete with the devil. Except for the battle caused by the appearance of Qinglong Stone a few months ago, it is not a big deal. I only heard that Master Xuanbei, a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, will pass on his mantor on the falling Xiafeng of Shaoshi Mountain on the seventh day of March next year.
"That's good. I always feel that the world is too calm. It seems that something big is going to happen. Brother Xiao, don't get involved." Xiao Ran nodded slightly. Presumably, Xia Fu had received some secret report, and Yan'er was reminding herself. Wulin is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and the water is too deep.
I don't know how Xia Ruoyan persuaded Xia Shuangtian. In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Ran was told that he could go to the school with Xia Yu to select 1,000 soldiers. Xiao Ran's top ten are also specially trained people. There are some different systems to train soldiers, which have been well calculated in his heart for a long time. Wearing bright armor, I feel that my body is sinking. Although it defends the critical part, it restricts movement. If Xiao Ran can choose and prefer soft armor, it is selected by Xia Ruoyan. It is estimated that it is for the general's momentum, which is conducive to getting along with the soldiers.
Xiao Ran sighed, and those soldiers knew that it was good not to scold their mother behind their backs. Wearing a red helmet, bright armor and cowhide boots. It's really much more powerful. Pushing the door out, Xia Ruoyan has been waiting for a long time. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "This is like the majestic General Xiao."
General Youqi is also a five-grade official in the lobby, which is easy to do with the power of the Xia family. Moreover, it is a temporary appointment, and the Ministry of War has this right. This is the charm of power. It only takes one sentence to make you reach a position that others can't reach in a lifetime.
"The school grounds are windy and sandy, and the smoke stays in the house."
Xia Ruoyan pouted and said, "It's all suffocated in the house. Brother Xiao won't let the smoke go out to breathe?"
Xiao Ran also knew that Xia Ruoyan was idle. He took out a few gold tickets from his arms and said, "In this case, you can use this money to buy some beef and mutton for the cook to stew. I will add food for the soldiers, otherwise they can't keep such high-intensity training."
As long as there is nothing to do, how can Xiao Ran and Xiao Ruoyan be unwilling to help? Although he wanted to stay together, he still nodded and said, "Well, Brother Xiao can rest assured to train."
The Tang Dynasty received a military inspection every five years, which is usually under the responsibility of Xia Shuangtian, the general of Zhenyuan. This time, the early news came out that the emperor personally reviewed it. How can these soldiers not be excited when they hear that the first few winners will be rewarded? Xia Yu and Xiao Ran both stood on the stage with heavy armor. Another person flashed loudly under the stage: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, would you like to win glory for the Xia family? ......”
The soldiers under the stage are on high alert and mobilized, looking like they are going to fight with others. Xiao Ran glanced at Xia Yu with his spare light. Seeing the other party's provocative face, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, General Xia Yu still wants to come to the test?"
